Build a game empire from scratch

[Shuihua, you go offline first. ]

[? ]

Shuihua was watching the live broadcast in the virtual world, and when he saw Zhu Cixia's news, he responded with a question mark for no apparent reason.

[be quick! ]

[Already offline, why? ]

"Beep—" Princess Zhu Cixia made a video call, and it took a second to connect.

I saw my best friend asking sincerely: "Shui Hua, please face west and pray for a smooth rocket launch, okay?"

"???"

Shuihua stood on the balcony, looking at the sky in the west, feeling a little dazed, the launch of the rocket is indeed a big deal, and she also hoped that everything goes well.

But when it comes to praying, shouldn’t one be looking for someone like a great monk or a Christian?

Why are you looking for her?

Then Shuihua came to his senses, and said with a black thread on his head, "You don't believe in the nonsense of Lady Luck, do you..."

But the princess didn't argue, just said: "Please, please, the fire is going to be lit soon."

"Alright alright……"

Speechlessly, Shui Hua propped the phone on the flower pot to face herself, facing the western sky, folded her hands together, and really began to pray for a smooth launch of the rocket.

The little princess turned the phone and pointed the camera at the Tianzhou 43 carrier rocket that was about to ignite. She put her palms together and sincerely prayed that everything goes well and that Lin You can return safely.

In the official live broadcast, the countdown finally started——

"10!"

"9!"

"8!"

...

At this moment, not only the people of Daxia were praying for a smooth rocket launch, tens of millions of players around the world also began to pray to the gods they believed in at the same time, praying for a smooth rocket launch and Lin You's safety.

"3!"

"2!"

"1!"

"ignition!"

The moment the command fell, a violent airflow jetted out from the tail of the rocket, stirring up an astonishingly large amount of smoke and dust, and then glaring flames jetted out!

The huge water dragon that lowers the temperature and noise rushes towards the wake of the rocket at the same time, and is instantly vaporized, transpiring large swaths of water mist.

But the rocket was not affected at all. Inside the engine, the violent combustion of the fuel produced thousands of degrees of high-temperature and high-pressure airflow. These airflows were ejected wildly from the engine, generating amazing thrust, and slowly pushing the behemoth with a total weight of more than 800 tons off the ground.

It wasn't until the rocket rose into the air that the crowd watching from a distance saw the long series of Mach rings in the tail flame of the engine and booster!

After 10 seconds, a new password came from the control center:

"Jiuquan, turn the procedure."

At this point, the rocket will adjust its flight angle, from vertical lift to inclined flight.

"Jiuquan, optical tracking is normal."

Standing in the crowd, Zhu Cixia looked at the rocket that was constantly accelerating and flying farther and farther. His hands were tightly clasped, and his knuckles turned white.

"Jiuquan, the escape tower is separated."

At this time, the rocket can no longer be observed with the naked eye. It can only watch the telemetry image of the rocket through the live broadcast camera and listen to the instructions of the control center.

A large group of netizens in the live broadcast room have already started to celebrate in advance.

But Zhu Cixia and the staff of the on-site launch center are still in high tension.

In the space capsule, Lin You felt terrible!

The overload experience is not bad—although the passing standard set for him in training is to be able to withstand 6 Gs, in fact, in the final stage, he can already withstand the pressure of 7 Gs, and even challenged a few times with 8 Gs. Seconds, consciously can bear it.

The current acceleration stage is only 4 to 5 G, which is completely within the acceptable range.

But the violent vibration almost knocked out his internal organs. The intensity of the vibration far exceeded his expectations. Although the time was not long, the superimposition of vibration and overload was really painful.

What's even more outrageous is that the commander, who was lying on the side without saying a word, suddenly said without warning after the escape tower separated:

"The escape tower was thrown out, and if something goes wrong now, we won't be able to escape."

"???" Lin You turned his head to see what was going on in this man's mind despite the overload of his muscles being deformed!

But the Commander lay there with a blank expression on his face, and Lin You could even see a bit of leisure from it!

Fortunately, his crow's mouth didn't take effect, and nothing happened in the following process:

"Jiuquan, the booster is separated."

"Jiuquan, the first and second levels are separated."

"Jiuquan, throw the fairing."

"Jiuquan, the ship and arrow are separated."

"The solar panels are deployed normally."

...

Until the end, a special greeting came: "Tianzhou 43, I am Xia Jing."

At this moment, Lin You is immersed in the wonderful experience of weightlessness, feeling strangely the various changes brought about by the microgravity environment in space.

Even though he was fixed on the seat by the restraint belt, he suddenly felt his butt leave the seat, no longer clinging to it, but floated lightly.

All the restraint belts and the ropes that fix objects shake slightly like water plants in the lake, with a sense of rhythm.

But beside him, the two veteran astronauts were much calmer.

The commander replied immediately: "Tianzhou 43 received it."

A few seconds later, the Xiajing Aerospace Flight Control Center sent another command: "It has been confirmed by the ground that the environment in the cabin is normal, and the front window can be opened."

Commander replied: "Tianzhou 43 received."

After that, Lin You and his two teammates raised their hands, opened the helmet window on their heads, and switched from the space suit to the space capsule for oxygen supply.

At this point, the launch mission has officially achieved a complete success!

Together with two teammates, Lin You will embark on a five-day and four-night space journey.

The ground command center roared with cheers.

The crowd watching the rocket launch waited for a full 10 minutes, and finally they were completely relieved, shouting excitedly, and many even shed tears of excitement.

——In the hearts of aerospace enthusiasts, it is the ultimate romance to witness human beings rushing into space.

Even closer to the launch tower, Zhu Cixia finally felt completely relieved, applauded warmly along with the staff around him, and danced excitedly.

Through the camera, Shuihua watched the scene of the rocket igniting and taking off at a close distance. He was also very excited, and applauded excitedly along with the crowd on the other side of the camera, very happy.

After the sand sculpture netizens saw that the spacecraft entered orbit smoothly, they finally stopped being nervous and started to let themselves go again:

"From today onwards, Lin You will be a person who has been in space, adding another halo to his body!"

"It's a pity that Yunmeng is not listed, otherwise the stock price will at least double!"

"Lin You is not short of money! Open your mind, you have money, you are popular, and you can make a fuss. Why don't you go directly to America to run for president?!"

"Will it be killed?"

"Impossible! He doesn't even need to go out! Directly hold a rally roadshow in the virtual world, and by the way manipulate public opinion to brainwash voters. I don't even know how he lost!"

"... Do you think there is a possibility that the American government does not allow Yunmeng to enter their country, not because they are afraid that Lin You will make money, but because they are afraid that he will manipulate the election?"

"???"

"Fuck! When you say this, I suddenly feel that it is very possible!"

"It's reasonable. With Lin You's level, you don't need to go to America in person. You can control their general election by sitting at home, right? Isn't it just network intrusion and public opinion brainwashing? Can it be more difficult than developing a focus headband?"

"The front row of Yunmeng's International Affairs Department invites investment! Those who are interested in running for the presidency can chat privately with the price!"

"Money! You! President!"

...

Lin You didn't know that sand sculpture netizens had already had new and bizarre expectations for him.

At the moment he is busy in the space capsule.

His mission is the least among the three, but there are still some, especially now that the space capsule has just entered orbit, there are many things to be busy.

However, the weightless environment of space makes the boring equipment inspection very interesting.

It is difficult for Lin You to describe this wonderful feeling, but he suddenly wants to share this feeling so that everyone can experience it.

Do a space tourism project in Paradise?

This was the first thought that popped into his head.

But just as this idea emerged, he immediately drew a big red cross on it.

Absolutely not!

[Going into space for the first time] is a very valuable experience.

If it's just a virtual tour, players will of course happily come to experience it, but after experiencing it a few times, once the freshness wears off, it's over, and nothing will be left.

For Lin You, this was undoubtedly very wasteful.

Not only wasting the hard work of this trip, but also wasting the precious life experience of the players.

Only by combining this wonderful experience with a wonderful story and presenting it to players in the form of a "game" can they recall their first "space experience" even ten, twenty, or thirty years later. ", also feel lifelike, as in yesterday.

Art can record emotions, so games should record experiences!

——After Lin You is satisfied with material and love, he will naturally pay more and more attention to spiritual pursuit.

only……

Do you want to disrupt the original plan and launch a space-themed game in advance?

And, if you really want to do it, what kind of story should you tell the players?
