Build a game empire from scratch

"National Academy of Sciences?" Lin You was a little surprised.

He thought that once the technology of hibernation is proven to be feasible, there must be elites in several fields who cannot avoid it——

Top scientific researchers, top rich people, top politicians.

But here is Daxia, and the technology is in Lin You's hands, so the most likely group can only be scientific researchers.

It's just that Lin You didn't expect that the top academic institution, the National Academy of Sciences of Daxia, would come up.

He thought there would be a transition in the middle!

He didn't say much, but He Peng seemed to understand why he was surprised: "Normally speaking, more verification should be done first, but some old academicians... can't wait."

"A lot of old academicians are sick?" Lin You was even more surprised.

"Yes." He Peng didn't hide it at all, "When developing nuclear weapons, the time was tight, and various protective measures were not in place. Many professors and soldiers who participated in the research at that time were exposed to different degrees of radiation, and many of them are deeply affected now. Plagued by cancer—in fact, several core scientists have been plagued by cancer for many years, and even under the best medical care, it has been impossible to continue.”

"Their contributions to Daxia are unquestionable, but they have never enjoyed anything in their entire lives—we used to develop too poorly, but later they developed well, and they have been staying in the intensive care unit. Several of them are still relatively stubborn. working while sick."

"Their experience and wisdom are still a valuable asset even now..."

"Okay, okay." Lin You interrupted He Peng's narration that was slowly developing towards the speech, "There is no need to say any more, I agree, just tell me how many people there are?"

Because of the huge difference in history here, Lin You never thought of this:

It has been about twenty years since the nuclear weapons came out here.

As far as he knows, the countries that developed nuclear weapons in the previous life, the soldiers and scientific researchers who participated in it, the cancer caused by nuclear radiation has a very long cycle, ranging from more than ten years to several decades, and even the UK has tested nuclear weapons for 60 years. After that, more than 100,000 people suffered from radiation sickness.

Because the land area of ​​Daxia is large enough, the nuclear weapon testing area is in a remote desert, and the impact on the people is minimal, but the soldiers and scientific researchers who participated in it, if no one is affected, I am afraid it is impossible——He Peng told him now is a proof.

This difference in time caused an important impact: they caught up with the birth of hibernation technology!

A [Vacation Center], plus a [National Academy of Sciences], those who are willing to rest can relax and enjoy life, and those who are obsessed with scientific research can temporarily get rid of illness, and continue to walk on the road of scientific research more easily.

"There are 16 scientific researchers and 688 soldiers."

The number given by He Peng is far less than what Lin You expected.

Of course, the less the less, the scale of more than 700 people is not something he can handle by rubbing his hands.

Then build a production line! The only thing that really needs to be kept secret is the consciousness chip, and the rest will be released sooner or later for mass production.

Lin You quickly made a decision: "It will take some time."

"No problem." He Peng was overjoyed, and immediately nodded—it would be the best situation for Lin You to agree, "You can ask for whatever reward you want."

"Remember, I don't have anything missing. You have to give me the architectural drawings of the resort center and the Academy of Sciences. To do mixed reality transformation, you need the most detailed drawings."

"No problem." This was originally planned, and He Peng didn't have any difficulties.

In fact, the mixed reality transformation of the resort center and the Academy of Sciences is the purpose of looking for Lin You.

The second hibernation operation belonged to "try to get it if it is convenient", but he did not expect it to go so smoothly, Lin You agreed without hesitation, so the renovation of the resort center and the Academy of Sciences was immediately dropped to the second place.

Of course, what Lin You mentioned: the technology is not yet perfect, there are problems with the chip, and the newly developed carbon-based chip needs to be used to perfect the technology.

They listened too.

Although it was not announced to the outside world, in fact, Daxia has invested heavily in this area, and everyone is looking forward to the day when the technological breakthrough will come soon.

——Although He Peng didn't believe Lin You's words that "the chip in his hand has a problem" at all.

Instead, he felt that the chip in Lin You's hand was more powerful, but he was unwilling to release it for some reason.

The greatest possibility is: Once this chip is released, it will have some bad effects on the whole society, even the whole country—maybe not bad, but it must be the kind of effect that Lin You is not happy to see .

This is not his guess alone, but the whole group's guess.

——Just like America has [Lin You Countermeasures Team], Daxia actually has a similar team here, but it’s different from America’s side. Eliminate all conflicts in advance.

This is something that has to be done.

think about it!

Lin You has more than 700 million users distributed all over the world, has a central network linking the global Internet, has breakthrough technology and a global sales network, has several large factories of his own, and can make his own mechs!

Mechas can be made, and it is probably not a problem to make some arms or something.

Oh yes, he still has close to 200 million users, walking freely on the streets and alleys of the world with high-definition cameras, high-precision sensors and sound receivers every day!

Now he even has the technology to hibernate people!

Just imagine, if one day in the future, there are more than 100 million hibernating people, then these 100 million lives are actually handed over to Lin You—after all, hibernation technology is flawed and must rely on the virtual world or mixed reality exists.

This determines that the hibernation cabin cannot be physically isolated.

During the previous closed-door meeting, experts from other departments questioned: Did Lin You intentionally leave this flaw?

However, this question was rejected by the team members on the spot.

It can be seen that internal worries about Lin You have always existed, but in comparison, most people are still more willing to trust him-promoting the further application of hibernation technology is a strong proof.

However, He Peng puts himself in the shoes of others: the people on America's side are probably more troubled than they are.

After all, if someone like Lin You appeared in other countries, he might not be able to sleep every day!

Lin You himself was not very conscious. After hanging up the phone, he received the blueprint of the resort center and continued to work on his own affairs.

The detailed drawings of the Academy of Sciences will be delivered by He Penghui himself later.

*

Lin You's efficiency is very high, and Xiao Meng's efficiency is also very high.

Not to mention the two together, they completed three renovation plans the next day.

An assembly line for the hibernation chamber has also been designed and installed under the highest security measures.

That afternoon, he was even a little bored, so he ran to the virtual office and held a small meeting to ask Yu Gu and the others about the development progress of "A Quiet Place".

From Yu Taniguchi, Lin You found that they had already thought of how to integrate the new gameplay into the game.

it's actually really easy--

Players send location information into space through alien spaceships.

That being the case, no one stipulates that only one wave of aliens can receive the information, right?

Just a few more waves will do the trick!

The first wave, the vicious alien monsters that prey on humans by sound waves.

The second wave, as soon as it is watched by human beings, there will be a reaction, and a murderous alien monster will explode.

The third wave, will stand still when watched, move in the blink of an eye, indestructible killing monsters.

...

Wait, wait, they have a lot of ideas!

"Actually, this idea largely refers to the design of "Chang'an". If you follow this way, if you have new ideas later, they can also be made into DLC, which can be easily integrated into the game."

"Well, it's not impossible." Lin You nodded, "It's just that in this way, each type of alien must be designed with a separate story line. Have you ever thought about this?"

"Ah, this..." Yu Gu paused, and then said firmly, "We believe in the ability of plot planning!"

‘God, I believe in the ability of plot planning. ’ Lin You complained fiercely in his heart, but nodded on his face and said, "Then, as long as the story is written well and the gameplay is interesting, I have no problem here, so let's do it!"

——He also really wants to play!

After deciding on this matter, Lin You and Xiao Meng ran to the area of ​​"A Quiet Place" that had been basically completed.

This area is very small, completely incomparable to cities like Metropolis and Night City. It only has a desolate small town full of apocalyptic atmosphere, a forest, and a few farms.

The story of "A Quiet Place" actually takes place in such a large place, and more areas are completely unnecessary.

Of course, now that it has been decided to add more aliens, with the emergence of new stories, new venues must also be added.

Lin You dragged Xiaomeng for a walk on the road in this desolate town, then took off his shoes, walked through the forest on a path covered with white sand, and walked towards the farm in the suburbs.

Along the way, there are constant sounds of wind, water, birdsong, and swaying leaves, and there are large tracts of corn fields swaying in the wind outside the farm.

To be honest, if monsters were not added, this quiet natural environment would definitely be very popular.

Xiao Meng is also barefoot, jumping happily on the white sand, and obviously likes this environment.

After "A Quiet Place" is released, this area will also be embedded in the large map of the virtual world. According to the plan, the location is right next to the original alien spaceship that lost power.

——After all, the aliens came after the signal sent by the spaceship. With this arrangement, the players will have a stronger sense of substitution.

I think that when the time comes, many players will move their virtual houses here.

...

After hanging out with Xiaomeng for a while, Lin You thought about adding some animals here to enrich the player experience.

After writing this down in the memo, Lin You took Xiaomeng and ran to the "Dark Soul" project team.

According to the usual practice, after the official release of "Dark Soul", the project team will also rest for a week.

Because the game itself is mature enough and there is not much content that needs urgent modification, the proportion of employees on vacation last week is quite high.

It is also because of this that most of the employees have returned to work normally since this week.

——It is said to go to work normally, but because Lin You hasn't arranged new tasks yet, and everyone is working from home, and there is nothing serious to do now, one by one is flying around.

When Lin You arrived, none of these people were in the virtual office.

After asking Qin Songyun, they found out that they went to Ye Xiaohe's team building together.

Lin You took Xiaomeng to look for it again, but as soon as he entered, he saw a bunch of cats and dogs fighting...

"???"

Lin You saw a question mark in his head, "What are you doing?"

"It's fighting!" Xiaomeng explained.

"I know it's a fight..." Lin You rubbed Xiaomeng's head, then walked over to catch a Persian cat and an Akita dog, and grabbed the nape of their necks to lift them up, interrupting their conversation. fight.

The two guys stretched out their paws and scratched each other twice, and found that they were too far away to scratch each other, so they had to stop and turned to look at Lin You.

Then, the faces of the cat and the dog showed extremely anthropomorphic "embarrassed" expressions.

The cats, cats and dogs who were fighting passionately nearby also noticed the appearance of the big boss, and they all stopped, looking at Lin You with a guilty conscience, not even daring to change back.

"What are you doing?"

The Akita dog who was holding the nape of his neck spat out a human voice: "Um, we... are team building."

"Yes, team building." The Persian cat who was carried in the air by him also echoed.

"All right, all right." Lin You put down the cat and dog in his hands, "Go on first, let's get down to business after the fight?"

"No, no, no." Akita Dog Fan Rui replied repeatedly. "Boss, talk about business first."

"Success." Lin You didn't let them change back, he crossed his legs and sat on the ground among the cats and dogs.

With a swoop, Xiaomeng turned into a kitten in the air and jumped into his arms.

Lin You hugged the little milk cat, and began to talk about business in such a carefree way: "Dark Soul has come to an end, and you should have a clear idea of ​​the next task."

A group of cats, cats and dogs sat on the spot and looked at Lin You, and nodded when they heard this.

"The fourth chapter of "Changan" is also the last chapter in the plan."

The cats and dogs widened their eyes again.

They knew that the fourth chapter was going to be done next, but the fourth chapter was the last chapter, and it was the first time they heard about it from Lin You.

"Some old employees should know that at the development meeting of "Battlefield" before, I mentioned that "Battlefield" is the end of the first phase of Yunmeng's development. After that, we put down the popular shooting game and started A new stage with the "Chang'an" series as the main axis."

"And now, the last chapter of "Chang'an" will also be the end of the second stage."

"After this, there is a brand new third stage, and I think you can guess the key words of this stage."

"[Universe]?" Akita Inu Fan Rui replied immediately.

Several cats and dogs beside him also nodded knowingly after Fan Rui spoke.

——[Pandora], "Gravity", "A Quiet Place", it's really obvious.

"That's right." Lin You nodded, and continued:

"The last chapter of "Chang'an" is not only the end of the second stage, but also the beginning of the third stage. Players will start from here and sound the clarion call for the expedition to space."

"Start with "Chang'an"?" Fan Rui blinked his dog's eyes, a little confused, "Isn't it "Gravity?"

Lin You shook his head, "No, "Gravity" is just a prologue, an introduction."

"It's about [regression]."

"Before the players officially set off, I hope that they will first have a new understanding of the earth and their home planet from the perspective of the universe."

“After that is the story of [Qi Cheng].”

"But..." Fan Rui still doesn't quite understand, ""Chang'an" is a theme of cultivating immortals in ancient times, how can it allow players to go into space?"

——As I said before, the [Science Fiction Game Department] is a very low-key department that is almost used as a "game testing department". Many people don't know what their serious work is.

Lin You stretched out his finger, pointing to the group of buildings farther away for the group of cats and dogs——

"Because the last chapter of "Chang'an" happened there, it happened in—"

"1459 in the Tang calendar!" (End of this chapter)
