Chapter 99 Alpha0.5 version update! Brand new player system!

  VM is an acronym.

   Its full name is "Vital Signs Monitor", and it is standard in almost all shelters.

   But it was the first time that Chu Guang saw him.

   In fact, the function of this thing is far more than just "vital sign monitoring", but more like a wrist-mounted computer that integrates the functions of physical examination, positioning, communication, map and black box.

   It seemed that he was worried that Chu Guang would not use it. The system provided the manual very thoughtfully and presented it in front of him in the form of a light blue pop-up window.

  【

  1. Monitor the wearer's vital signs activities, collect information including heart rate, respiration, blood pressure, blood oxygen concentration, hormones in sweat, DNA form, etc., and comprehensively analyze the collected information and present it in the form of specific data.

2. After monitoring the disappearance of the wearer's life activities, the VM will automatically archive the "death recording" in the cached data, and continuously send encrypted signals containing relative distance and orientation information through the transmitter in the chip, which is convenient for search and rescue personnel to recover. .

  3. The VM device can intermittently emit lasers of a specific frequency within a certain range to perform three-dimensional mapping of indoor space, with a maximum mapping radius of 5m, which will be attenuated under the influence of air humidity and dust particles. This function is very useful when exploring the building. Large obstacles such as walls, doors, and boxes can be marked, and the data can be shared after uploading.

4. The power supply of the VM is provided by a thermal battery, which can be charged under light conditions or by a heat source such as a fire near the fire. Under low power conditions, it can absorb the heat naturally emitted by the wearer and charge slowly, and automatically switch to the energy-saving mode to save energy. Run the device on minimum power.

  】

  In addition to the common functions mentioned in the manual, Chu Guang also learned through Xiaoqi that in principle, all VM devices can be recompiled by compiling programs.

That is to say, if the hardware itself allows, just add a few "very useful" small plug-ins to these VMs, Chu Guang can know where each player is, what they are doing, and even hear what they say something.

   "I'll go, this thing is a bit strong!"

Do not.

   is simply too strong!

  Chu Guang would like to call it "The Emperor's Happy Table"!

   When the time comes, no one can pick it up for me!

   No, wait…

   Chu Guang, who was excited for a few seconds, quickly calmed down.

   Think about it carefully, if I force the players to tie a mobile phone to their arms, wouldn’t it seem like I’m forcing them to do something?

  People are rebellious.

   And free stuff is never cherished.

   Looking at the VM in his hand, Chu Guang touched his chin and said thoughtfully.

   "To be fair, this wrist-mounted computer... can't be cheaper than a looter's rotten gun, right? I think it's at least 30 silver pieces."

  Xiaoqi raised the camera.

   "But Master, I heard that this kind of VM is very common in shelters? And considering the ease of maintenance and durability, the technical content is not very high..."

  Chu Guang: "Well, it's still 40 silver coins, and you need to reach the citizen level to buy it."

  Xiaoqi: "...Master?"

  Chu Guang looked back at Xiao Qi who was standing beside him.

   "Little Qi, do me a favor, I want to add some functions to these VMs, can you do that?"

  Xiaoqi was obviously stunned.

   "...It can be done, as long as the hardware conditions allow it, but what specific functions do you want to add to it?"

   "Properties Panel! Taskbar! Map! Chat Window!"

   Is it a game without these things?

  You can only check the level and experience after going offline. Many players complained that they could not open the character interface at any time to check the level, experience, abnormal status and gain effects. What is the difference between this and the garbage game "Earth OL"?

   Another slot is the mission system.

  Although the wooden boards and plastic boards are no longer written, but paper and wooden boards are used, the essence has not changed, and it is still too troublesome to check the progress of the task.

   And most importantly, it's a waste of paper!

   This is not environmentally friendly.

   As for the map function, it is a pleasant surprise.

  Chu Guang didn't expect this VM to be so popular, and it also brought laser mapping. In the future, players would take it to scavenge waste, which is equivalent to finding maps for the shelter.

   And it is clear where you have searched and where you haven't. Those hidden spaces and secret passages that are easily overlooked can also be exposed more easily. When exposed, the efficiency of scavenging has more than doubled!

   The most important thing is that letting players upload maps automatically also saves a considerable part of Chu Guang’s workload.

   Previously, the map exploration relied on the players to detect the flesh.

   For example, a player who did a scavenging task went to a certain place on the map before the war, and after returning, he told the manager what was going on there.

  What needs to be spoken here, including but not limited to what happened to the terrain? How many different species? Is there any trace of people moving or something.

   This job sounds easy, but it's a real torture to execute. A hundred mouths can say a hundred different versions.

  Some people even have a very poor sense of direction. They went to the place not pointed on the map at all, but they said something serious. Chu Guang's head was big when he heard it.

   Now that we have a VM, we don’t have to listen to these sand sculptures anymore, dictating the road conditions on the wasteland. Once you come back with the VM and upload it, you will be done, and you can also synchronize the discovered map data to the official website database.

   This job doesn't even require players to do it themselves.

  Chu Guang directly let Xiao Qi do it for them automatically.

"The attribute panel, the mission system, and the map are all good to say... But the chat window is a bit difficult. Although the VM has a transmitter, it is not a dedicated communication chip. Sending and receiving text messages near the shelter and updating the mission panel is no problem, but A little further away would be a bit of a hassle."

   That's it.

  Chu Guang touched his chin, thought for a moment and said.

   "The chat function is not in a hurry for the time being. Let's develop the three functions of the property panel, tasks, and map. I will find some templates for you later."

   The function is not perfect, and it was developed to complain to sand sculpture netizens. It is better to wait until it is perfected. Besides, there is now a "square" and an "official website", which is enough for those players to brag.

   "Good host!"

   Looking at the energetic Xiao Qi, Chu Guang nodded in satisfaction, turned around and returned to the B1 floor.

   Now the wasteland time is three o’clock in the morning, and the real world is three o’clock in the afternoon, which is the time when the number of players in the game is the least.

   is also the best time to update!

   walked to the computer in the residence hall and sat down. With a yawn, Chu Guang took out his small notebook from the drawer and opened it, then opened the text file used for the material.

  Everything is ready, only ctrlv and c are needed.

  Chu Guang moved his fingers with a smile on his face.

   Time for planning!

  …

  …

   The content of this update is a bit too much.

   Don't brag with the players for a while, and tell me in detail, Chu Guang is always worried that the players think that his plan is not working.

   is still the old rule.

After    issued the update announcement, Chu Guang immediately posted the edited developer log.

  《Developer Diary: alpha0.5 version》

Guang: "Hello everyone, I'm your dear planner! After draining 5 engineers from the technical team, our server finally changed from potatoes to croissants! Now it can accommodate 200 players entering the server at the same time, Are you very happy? Are you excited? Go and see your backstage mailbox! Applause to the European emperors!"

   "The biggest change in this version update is mainly the attribute panel that was the most popular among the beta testers! The task panel! And - the additional map function! Are you happy?"

   "I'm as happy as you are! Under the temptation of baked potatoes, the programmers in the development department finally understand what the function we want is."

"Of course, please don't be too happy. For the player's game experience and the authenticity of the game, we finally made a decision after five consecutive days and five nights of departmental meetings to integrate this part of the function into the In a special item called 'Vital Signs Monitor (VM)'."

"After players reach the citizen level, they only need to pay 40 silver coins to purchase this item. Due to the special setting of this item, each player is limited to one, and it is bound to the account, cannot be unbound, and cannot be transferred. If your teammate is unfortunate enough, please remember to take back his VM, otherwise the sanctuary can only deduct 10 credits from his account for the bounty of the 'equipment recovery' task."

   "As long as you are in the shelter or near the sanatorium, the VM can connect to the shelter's server and complete the task access operation."

"In addition to the task bar, the core function of VM is the attribute panel! Through a small screen, you can easily view the development progress of the gene sequence, character attributes, gains or debuffs, as well as contribution points and status levels. "

"Of course, there is no need to show your contribution point at all, the VM itself is a symbol of identity and power! Because in our setting, only 'citizens' who have made outstanding contributions to the sanctuary are worthy of this A piece of glory. Having it will also mean that you are no longer a rookie from now on, but a warrior who is truly qualified to venture into the wasteland!"

"In addition, the laser mapping function carried by the VM can accurately capture the obstacles and walls at close range for you, and upload the map data to the shelter server. Even a lunatic can find his way home. , your mother no longer has to worry about you getting lost in the wasteland!"

   Click to upload.

   Done!

  Chu Guang stretched, pushed away the chair and stood up.

   Stayed up late until dawn for two days in a row, even if his body was made of iron, he couldn't bear it.

   This time he plans to sleep until noon, trying to adjust his schedule.

  Thinking of this, Chu Guang looked at Xiao Qi who was squatting in the corner.

   "Little Qi, don't forget to call Xia Yan to get up."

   "Okay, Master."

   After explaining the last thing, Chu Guang happily went back to the next room to sleep.

   While Chu Guang was sleeping soundly, the discussion on the official website about "Alpha 0.5 version" was almost impossible to stop!
