Build a game empire from scratch

After Lin You sent his response, he didn't go home immediately. Instead, after eating, he came to the racing track where the biplane was tested.

It has been two full weeks since he placed his first order.

Under Lin You's ability to "add money", the airship was completely assembled today.

He came to the scene to witness the first take-off test of the airship.

Many people who knew about this project also came to watch the excitement - not only Yunmeng's employees, but also many netizens and anchors.

The last time Lin You flew the plane live, someone soon recognized the location of the test flight, and some netizens who lived nearby came over to watch the excitement that day.

It's just that when they arrived, Lin You had already vomited and turned to play tanks, which caused them to miss out.

But since yesterday, a huge airbag has slowly inflated in the open racing field, which is extremely eye-catching, and the round white color of the airbag can be seen from several kilometers away.

Countless netizens heard about it again.

At this racing track, there was no high wall built, but a large area was surrounded by fences and anti-collision walls.

Usually, no one else comes here except the racers.

This time, because of the appearance of the airship, it was considered a rare lively scene.

In making the airship, Lin You did not use the technology of a hundred years ago at all.

On the contrary, he piled a lot of advanced technology into it in one go.

Whether it is the airbag material, airship hull, pod, or the engine inside the pod, the electronic control device of the steering wheel, all adopt the most advanced materials and technologies possible.

Needless to say, a completely non-flammable inert gas is a must.

Hydrogen, which is easily ignited and causes an explosion, was not considered from the beginning.

With the lessons learned from the Hindenburg air crash, not only the gas needs to be replaced, but also engine static electricity and sparks must be prevented in advance.

Moreover, the four powerful engines not only surpass the engines used by the Hindenburg in terms of safety, but also have completely different power and performance-after all, nearly a hundred years have passed.

The original 16 giant airbags inside the Hindenburg were directly expanded to 25 by Lin You.

Not only is it larger in size, it has become a super giant with a body length of more than 300 meters, and its lift can reach 150 tons. In addition, light and strong carbon fiber materials are used in large quantities, and the theoretical passenger capacity has also been significantly increased.

As long as he doesn't go to the battlefield, this guy is an out-and-out giant beast of the sky!

Today, when this expensive big toy is finally ready to float on the ground half a person's height above the ground, countless spectators have already gathered within a range of hundreds of meters.

At close range, seeing such a huge monster suddenly can even make people's giant phobia attack.

But at the same time, human beings naturally have a fanatical pursuit of giants.

The onlookers not only had no fear, but also gathered more and more as the news spread!

In the live broadcast before, Lin You said that he would draw 40 people to participate in the [Sky Player Party], and everyone was only happy because of the novelty and the fact that he was face to face with Lin You.

But now, standing in front of this behemoth, even the most burly man is as small as an ant.

A Boeing 737 airliner is only more than 30 meters away.

Just imagine, how spectacular is a giant aircraft as big as 10 Boeing 737s?

Many anchors have come here since yesterday, set up their mobile phones, and started live broadcasting the changes in the shape of the airship.

Almost everyone's live broadcast room gathered a large number of viewers to watch the excitement.

At the back, the audience who watched through the live broadcast camera couldn't even see the whole picture of the airship because the anchor was too close!

It was only now that the 40 lucky winners finally fully understood what an awesome prize they had won!

One by one was carried away with excitement.

If it weren't for the inability to give gifts in Lin You's live broadcast room, these people would have rushed over to collect gifts!

Soon, the first take-off test of the airship also began.

Of course, Lin You could only stay on the ground and watch.

Before completing the security test, neither he nor the winning players he invited should even think about going up.

Thanks to the advancement of technology, and the fact that Lin You is not so flamboyant, and does not plan to have so many cooks and waiters on board, this airship only needs 10 people to complete all operations.

Of course, support personnel on the ground are not counted.

For the first test flight, these 10 people were further streamlined, and only 5 people boarded the airship in the end.

When boarding the boat, they also carried parachutes on their backs to ensure nothing goes wrong.

In fact, with the current safety level of the airship, it is really unlikely that an accident will happen. Even if an accident does happen, causing one or two airbags to blow up, the remaining airship is enough to descend slowly.

This is much safer than challenging ultra-low altitude skydiving...

However, Lin You didn't express his opinions blindly. He just sat obediently and watched the professionals work. He even opened the live broadcast room so that the players could also watch the excitement.

The audience saw that the testers were carrying backpacks and asked curiously what it was.

Lin You replied calmly: "Parachute bag."

Immediately, a series of question marks popped up in the live broadcast room:

"What do you mean? Could the airship fall?"

"Fuck, to join the player party, do you have to know how to skydive?"

"It looks really crispy, the skin is thin and the stuffing is big, shouldn't it be fried?"

...

The players talked a lot.

In the shot, the huge airship finally went through the safety inspection process before flying, loosened the cables fixed on the ground, and began to rise slowly.

Lin You then took the time to explain to everyone——

"It won't explode. The inert gas helium is used in the airbag, and it won't react with oxygen. It won't ignite at all, let alone explode."

"The material of the airbag is also flame retardant, so you can rest assured."

"As for the fall... Even if a few airbags blow up, it will slowly descend."

"Just in case, on the day of the party, I will arrange a rescue plane in advance, so everyone can rest assured."

"Oh yes, just in case someone is still worried, before boarding the boat, I will also prepare a huge amount of personal accident insurance for everyone, so you don't have to worry about the future."

As soon as the last sentence fell, the live broadcast room was once again noisy——

"Personal accident insurance is okay!"

"Shivering."

"By the way, did you buy it for yourself?"

"For the first time in history, a gathering of players who need to risk their lives?"

"Why not have this party in the virtual world? Isn't it safer?"

...

Lin You really wanted to say, "This is actually very safe, and the probability of accidents is lower than that of you crossing the road and encountering a car accident", but unfortunately, he has no data to support this point...

He was very breathless, and could only raise his head speechlessly, staring at the huge airship flying higher and higher.

But the discussion in the live broadcast room did not end, but intensified.

On one side is a group of people yelling and frantically wanting to board the airship and experience this extremely rare flying experience.

On the other side was a group of people who hadn't won the prize at all and had no hope of boarding the airship, discussing passionately whether it was safe or not, and what to do if something happened.

As a result of this debate, a barrage suddenly popped up——

[Xiao Xiaoyuan: Forget it, I won’t participate, let the seat be given to a friend who wants to go. ]

Xiaomeng immediately highlighted the barrage, making Lin You notice it.

Xiaomeng did this because: the viewer who posted this barrage was one of the 40 viewers who won the lottery in the last live broadcast.

She posted this barrage, which is naturally different from other people's teasing. It seems that she is really afraid of death and wants to give up this sky party.

"Are you really going to give up? This is really not dangerous, they are scaring you." Lin You comforted.

But Xiaoyuan still refused: [Sorry, I'm still... a little scared. ]

Lin You sighed, "Okay, I understand. But there is no need to apologize for this. Some people are afraid of bugs, some are afraid of tigers, some are afraid of secrets, and some are afraid of heights. It's all normal."

Before Lin You finished sighing, the audience in the live broadcast room became excited:

"One more round! Let's draw, let's draw."

"I will win the lottery this time!"

"Lady Luck protects me!!"

...

"Get out." Lin You refused angrily, "Look at the airship."

The first test flight didn't take long. It just floated slowly, rose to an altitude of 500 meters, stayed for a few minutes, then slowly descended again and returned to the surface.

After that, it will be the second test flight, this time it will carry out a short-distance horizontal flight on the basis of prolonging the floating time.

In this way, the giant airship, more than 300 meters long and more than 50 meters high, was ups and downs in the sky, swimming leisurely.

On the ground, outside the racetrack, hundreds of thousands of people surrounded by circles, and nearly tens of millions of viewers who watched all this through the live broadcast room, all witnessed this process and were fascinated.

Until the sky completely darkened and the test was suspended, Lin You also failed to board the airship.

But the test went smoothly, and there will be multiple tests in the next two days. It was not until Friday night that Lin You could board the airship.

But for Lin You, this is enough——

After confirming that there is no problem in all aspects, the next step is to officially send the invitation letter.

20 invitations to acquaintances and friends.

40 slots, reserved for in-game lottery.

In the end, it was the remaining 39 people who won the lottery in the live broadcast room.

On Saturday, these 99 people will officially join the 【Sky Player Gathering】.

Before that, sending out invitations, arranging board and lodging, and air tickets all have to be explained.

Oh yes, there are also synchronous activities in the game: to gather players in real life and reproduce them in the virtual world.

It is also necessary to synchronize the images in reality to the virtual world, so that a large number of players who have no chance in reality can also participate in the virtual world.

But in order to achieve this step, there is a problem that must be solved: [Virtual Xia Jing].

Before the office building was settled last week, Qiao Nanyu was recruiting relevant talents in advance, and borrowing people from the existing team to help train newcomers.

As of this Monday, the official work, the construction of [Virtual Xia Jing] has already started.

It's just that Lin You has been busy with the development of "Battlefield", so he didn't bother to take a look at it.

I don't know if the sky player party on Saturday will be able to catch up?
