The virtual empire starts from the game

Chapter 110: Bombardment! (asking for monthly ticket)
The functional positioning of these emulators is basically the same as that of a controller, keyboard and mouse. They are just operating tools and cannot run games.

If you want to do testing, you have to go upstairs to move the host.

The screen is simple, and a large high-definition screen is reserved here.

After getting approval, the employees rushed upstairs to bring down the mainframe, and quickly connected the wires and turned it on.

But before starting, Xue Liang asked:
"Boss, which version should I use? Stable version or hybrid version?"

Xu Meng's eyes widened immediately and he asked loudly, "What do you think?!"

"Uh... okay, I get it."

Xue Liang's attempt failed, so he obediently started the stable version.

——"Lord of War" miniDemo, in just a few days, a hybrid version came out.

In fact, the correct name should be [development version].

In the past few days, everyone has been running in with the intelligent collaborative development tools and adapting to the new development method, while also trying out various technologies in the demo.

After Xu Meng made a backup of the original version, he allowed everyone to be free to add whatever they wanted to the demo.

This version that can be freely played is the [development version].

But because it is too free, everyone is stuffing all kinds of things into it and experimenting with all kinds of designs that interest them.

This resulted in the [development version] becoming a hodgepodge, and people started calling it the [hybrid version] after talking about it too much.

This version will frequently encounter various problems when running on a PC, and it certainly cannot be used to test the simulator.

Of course, the [stable version] is not completely unchanged.

The demo was still loading, and everyone started arguing:
"Who goes first?"

"My, my, my, look at that treadmill! It looks very tiring! Of course I should be the one doing such a hard job!"

"I can do it too! I can do it!"

"Look at my circle of friends! I run every day, I'll do it!"

"I'm a good shooter! I'll do it!"

……

Xu Meng did not participate in the argument.

He was already sitting in the tank simulator with ease.

——The simulator drawings were all in his mind, and after spending an afternoon watching the installation, he had already figured out how to operate it.

The so-called [Tank Simulator] actually doesn't look like a tank.

It also lacks the shell and shape of a tank.

It is just based on the general [vehicle simulator], and the accessories required for the tank simulator are added.

These accessories do not completely restore the interior of the tank, but only include the equipment needed to operate the driver, gunner, loader and commander.

The real internal details of the tank exist in the form of software and can only be seen by wearing VR glasses.

At this moment, Xu Meng was already sitting in the gunner's position, with full-coverage VR glasses hanging on his head and an auxiliary controller fixed on his wrist, just waiting for the battle to officially begin.

But the employees over there are still arguing about who should go first...

He had to speak up and act as a referee—

"Stop arguing! It's not like you can only take the test once!"

A group of people looked over at the same time, thinking that the boss was going to designate someone.

Who knew Xu Meng would wave his hand and say, "Let's play rock-paper-scissors! The winner will be decided by one shot!"

This group of originally mature professionals quickly turned childish after just two or three days. Now they were easily aroused to be competitive and started playing rock-paper-scissors with great interest.

Soon, the remaining 19 places were decided.

——5 simulators, each with a capacity of 4 people, the same for both high-end and basic versions.

Xu Meng didn't care about the situation of others. He put on VR glasses with his three teammates and officially started the game.

The moment he opened his eyes, Xu Meng subconsciously looked down at his outstretched hands, then looked around at the environment inside the tank.

Sights, pedals, steering wheel, elevation, firing handle...

In addition to these key interactive devices——

The metal inner wall with rust marks, large and small pipes, various handles of unknown use, and a small stainless steel door leading to the cockpit not far ahead...

There is also the loader who is also shaking his head and looking around, and the commander with only his lower body exposed behind him.

——But this is actually an optical illusion.

For safety reasons, the loader's actual position is actually farther than it appears.

The driver didn't really sit that high.

—It’s not safe to leave the tank like that.

When Xu Meng thought of this, the conductor said loudly:

"Hold on for a while, the driver and I will get off the car to repair it!" "Okay!"

——The immersive battlefield environment made him subconsciously raise the volume.

Then the conductor and the driver, who had just sat down, left their seats again.

The moment they stood up, the full-coverage VR glasses automatically switched the screen and used the external camera to project the real image onto the display in front of the two people, making it convenient for them to leave the vehicle and move to the omnidirectional treadmill outside the vehicle.

After standing firm, the screen cuts back to the game.

The two people in the game were already standing outside the tank, quickly running towards the damaged right track.

——The driver was not used to the omnidirectional treadmill. When he ran in front of the sight, he staggered in front of Xu Meng. Thanks to the protective measures of the omnidirectional treadmill, he did not fall.

After finding the right position, the two men lifted the controller, holding a welding gun in one hand and a hammer in the other, and began to repair the tank tracks.

[Maintenance] is the first important update of [Stable Version] Demo.

Vehicle maintenance is a design that has already been finalized in "Lord of War", and advance testing is very necessary.

But these people are so anxious to do this - some of them even don't want to leave after get off work, and they are working so hard on this. It's not that they are in a hurry for something so far away, but they simply want to make the tank in the first level move.

In the original demo design, this tank could not move, not because the track or engine was damaged, but because it was used as a "stronghold terrain" in the design concept.

But many employees in the project team felt uncomfortable seeing a complete tank right in front of them but unable to drive it.

Especially Xue Liang, who single-handedly developed the "Storm Fire" demo, was even more anxious.

Thinking backwards, I came up with the excuse of [maintenance function test].

After Xu Meng volunteered, he saved the tank, which originally existed as a "scene".

Xu Meng didn't just sit there and wait. He put his eyes close to the sight and saw the enemy troops and troop carriers charging outside.

Grab the steering wheel with your left hand and start shaking it wildly!
The right hand also holds the elevation handle, and presses it down with a rattling sound.

The mechanical structure inside the tank began to operate, and the transmission and bearings rubbed and collided, making a huge noise.

He was too lazy to calculate the positions, sizes, and distances.

When he felt it was about time, he gripped the firing handle behind the handwheel and pulled it hard!
"boom!"

A huge roar sounded both in the game and in reality!

The huge gun barrel on the tank simulator vibrated violently, and the strong recoil caused the entire simulator to shake violently!

The loader staggered and almost fell to the ground.

The crowd was also frightened by the huge noise, and they screamed and backed away from the simulator.

Fortunately, the simulator was firmly fixed during installation, otherwise the whole simulator would have jumped back with this full-power shot.

Many people subconsciously looked towards the front of the gun barrel——

Such a powerful shot inevitably makes people worry that it will cause damage.

But in reality, nothing came out of the muzzle.

That incredibly powerful shot was just a realistic trick created by the cylinder and smoke generator.

The dummy shells loaded into the barrel are also transferred back to the bottom of the shell rack through the transmission device under the barrel at the moment the cannon is fired, so that they can be recycled and continuously loaded.

——Otherwise, it would be inconvenient to prepare seventy or eighty shells on the tank simulator, and it would be laborious and time-consuming to sort them out afterwards. It is really unnecessary.

Xu Meng was sitting in a chair and was also shocked.

I was thinking about whether to lower the vibration feedback by one or two levels, but I was shouting, "Reload! Reload!"

Before he finished speaking, there was another deafening cannon shot.

"boom!"

The tank next door opened fire.

Then came the third, fourth, and fifth shots...

Loud bangs were heard one after another, and even the glass on the first floor was shaken by the noise.

Everyone is not in the same game, but the background of the game is a battlefield. It doesn’t sound abrupt at all, but rather has more of the flavor of a battlefield!
Xu Meng felt the blood boiling!

He started to crank the handwheel and adjust the height of the machine frantically again!

The loader opened the breech block, turned around, picked up the shell and stuffed it in, then closed the breech block again, and reported at the same time: "Loading completed!"

Xu Meng pulled the firing handle again without hesitation!
"boom!"

Another powerful recoil that caused the vehicle and body to shake simultaneously!

The same reaction occurred in the other four tank simulators, with the roar of cannon fire coming one after another!
A group of swans paddling leisurely on Jing Lake in the distance were suddenly frightened and flew away in panic with their wings flapping.

Tourists and passers-by also turned around in surprise and looked in the direction of the Dream Building, not knowing what had happened.

Some people ran away in panic.

Some people also came following the sound!
