The virtual empire starts from the game

Chapter 115 "A little bit better than that"

After receiving instructions from the boss, the front desk quickly contacted Zu Rongyao to take over this complicated reception.

Although Zu Rongyao has extensive experience in the industry, he has only received visits and exchanges from the municipal government at most, and has never received people whose "identities need to be kept confidential."

Now that I'm faced with this suddenly, I feel a little restrained.

Fortunately, the three of them were easy to talk to and didn't seem to be looking for trouble.

Veteran policeman Yan Chenghong politely coordinated the situation, and the group quickly arrived at the location of the war simulator.

His old squad leader Wu Zhian and the young technical officer Yin Zhiyuan brought by the old squad leader did not rush to experience the machine after arriving at the place, but observed it carefully.

Wu Zhian observed the equipment details in various locations of the [Tank Simulator], while Yin Zhiyuan glanced away and looked at the cameras in the area.

——The number of cameras here obviously far exceeds the company’s security needs.

After carefully observing the spatial positions of these cameras, Yin Zhiyuan quickly came to a conclusion:
Most of these cameras can perform accurate motion recognition and are likely to have integrated motion tracking technology to assist simulators and controllers in making accurate judgments about user movements.

Seeing this, he was a little disappointed.

Staff Officer Wu talked about this company's products yesterday. He was most interested in the technologies related to multi-device collaboration and virtual reality synchronization, and he thought there had been important technological breakthroughs.

But now it seems that it is still the same old thing.

At most, the algorithm has been optimized and there are more cameras.

In essence, it is still the approach of using great force to make the bricks fly.

If it were just like this, I'm afraid I would be disappointed today.

—The simulator itself, to be honest, has limited appeal.

Tank simulator?
Not to mention that the technical content is just so-so, this thing is only of interest to ordinary people. How can the army be short of tanks?

Why bother with a simulator when you have the real thing?
A gun simulator?
It would be a real joke if the army used this.

However, Yin Zhiyuan has always been cautious in his work and did not rush to draw conclusions.

He, Staff Officer Wu, Police Officer Yan, and an employee of DreamWorks put on VR glasses and controllers and walked onto the tank simulator for a trial.

He is a technical officer and has never driven a tank in the army, but he is still quite excited to play with it.

Afterwards, I walked onto the omnidirectional treadmill with great interest and tried out a forest encounter.

When they got off the omnidirectional treadmill, Xu Meng, Zhang Yang and the assistant were already standing by waiting.

The real culprit appeared and Staff Officer Wu took the initiative to step forward.

Xu Meng and the others thought that this person was the one whose identity needed to be kept secret, so Zhang Yang and Chen Mengling took the initiative to avoid him.

But after showing his officer ID and introducing himself, Staff Officer Wu immediately pointed at Yin Zhiyuan and said, "I don't understand the complicated technology either. You are all young people who understand technology. You can talk about it."

After saying that, he took a step back without any hesitation, making room for a young technical officer who was at least one generation younger than him.

He didn't even mention the young technical officer's name or his position in the army.

Xu Meng immediately understood: this young technical officer might have a higher confidentiality level than this staff officer.

But before he could say anything polite, the young technical officer shook his head and said straight to the point: "There's not much to talk about."

He smiled at Xu Meng to show that he was not targeting her.

"It's still very interesting to play, and it must be very attractive to military fans."

"But frankly speaking, it's not very useful to the troops."

"The troops have no shortage of tanks, vehicles and various types of firearms, and also have mature virtual-reality combined combat simulation software for sea, land, air, space and electronic warfare."

"In fact, every large-scale exercise cannot be separated from these software - of course, acting is definitely more complicated than this..."

"..."

Yin Zhiyuan first gave the conclusion, then explained the reasons, and finally analyzed the technical route of this war simulator, and pointed out the most valuable thing in one sentence - multi-device collaborative algorithm.

It can be said that there is no mercy.

Staff Officer Wu quickly interrupted to comfort Xu Meng: "Don't mind it. Xiao Yin is a technician in the army. He only looks at technology from a military perspective, which is inevitably biased."

"Your system is very useful in cultivating the recruits' combat awareness, teamwork awareness, as well as their comprehensiveness and adaptability to the battlefield."

"And it's both educational and entertaining, which is great!"

"Don't mention military fans and...what do you call them? Gamers, right? Soldiers in the army will definitely like it too."

Xu Meng didn't feel like she was being looked down upon.

The great affairs of the country lie in sacrifice and military affairs.

It is hard for ordinary people to imagine how strong the national defense of a big country like Xia is.

This cannot be simply measured by the number of troops, reserves, warships and fighter jets.

Behind these superficial numbers lies all-round strength.

This is true not only for training and combat, but also for logistics and scientific research. There will be no shortcomings in any link.

So he was very calm. He was even somewhat relieved.

“So, these products will not be restricted from being put on the market?”

Staff Officer Wu nodded with a smile: "If it was a few years earlier, it would be hard to say. Even if it could be listed, there would be many restrictions."

"But now, since it doesn't involve important military technology, you can sell it without worry."

It wasn’t allowed a few years ago, so why can you sell it now?
Hearing this, Xu Meng's eyelids suddenly twitched wildly, and she subconsciously thought of a short video she had seen a few days ago.

The official military account released a short video on how to dodge if someone throws a grenade.

Think about the current international situation, especially the war in Eastern Europe and the Middle East outside of Xia Country...

"Is it...really going to be a war?" he couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

Staff Officer Wu looked at him with strange eyes.

Just as Xu Meng's heart began to beat wildly, he suddenly laughed out loud: "Haha, how could it be!"

"You think too much."

"It's mainly because in recent years, the military's combat methods have begun to shift to information-based and unmanned operations."

"To be honest, your stuff is a bit outdated."

After that, he looked at the tank simulator and said, "The army has started to update the fourth-generation tanks, and the control mode has been fully updated. The loader, hand-crank calibration, and the commander exposing half of his body to operate the machine gun are all tears of the times..."

He looked at the universal treadmill and the simulated guns again: "This thing is pretty good."

"But if a war breaks out, drones and robot dogs will be the ones charging into the battlefield. On such a battlefield, non-professional soldiers will all be cannon fodder..."

Staff Officer Wu blinked and stopped talking in time, then changed the subject and encouraged:
"But your things are still very meaningful to the people."

"It is also very important to improve the military literacy and national defense awareness of the people."

"Keep working hard!"

After saying that, he patted Xu Meng on the shoulder and was about to end this little episode today.

But Yin Zhiyuan seemed to want to make up for his previous "harshness" and reminded Xu Meng before leaving:
"The motion capture of your system is still a little imperfect."

“You can improve the camera array or add some reflective markers to the user to make it easier to track and capture, just like a motion capture suit, which can greatly enhance the capture accuracy and is not very expensive.”

“Finally, the controller could also have a few more buttons to refine the operation.”

Having said this, he nodded and said no more.

Officer Yan noticed that the conversation was over and came over to leave together.

Xu Meng didn't think much about it, just thinking it was a technical exchange before leaving, and responded casually: "That's not necessary."

"I have the somatosensory synchronization service here. All the movements are synchronized in real time, and the operation is also done in real time. You can just start using it."

"Please be safe on the road."

But after hearing this, the young technical officer raised his right foot but it stopped in the air.

He even maintained this posture, and turned his head slowly and stiffly:

"What did you say?"

"?" Xu Meng blinked, "What's wrong?"

"You said, [body sensing synchronization service], all actions [real-time synchronization], and [immediate access] to operation?" Yin Zhiyuan repeated it clearly.

"Yes, that's right." Xu Meng nodded to confirm, "What's wrong?"

Yin Zhiyuan retracted his steps.

Staff Officer Wu and Police Officer Yan, who were talking in front, noticed Yin Zhiyuan's change, stopped talking at the same time, and turned around to look over.

"You mean the sensor suit you mentioned? It's not the kind of sensor suit on the market that can simultaneously feel the effects of [virtual shooting], right?"

Xu Meng thought about it and answered more conservatively: "A little bit more powerful than that."

"so……"

In order to avoid misunderstanding, Yin Zhiyuan explained it more clearly, almost enunciating every word:
"You have developed a set of physical sensing suits and data interaction algorithms that combine the real and the virtual. They can feed back all the wearer's actions in the real world to the data world in real time, and can also feed back virtual attacks in the data world to the wearer in real time?"

Since Yin Zhiyuan showed up, he had been maintaining a very good calmness and composure, and the sense of distance brought by his strong technical confidence disappeared in an instant!
Xu Meng didn't expect him to react so strongly, but she still said honestly: "It's a little bit more serious than that."

Yin Zhiyuan opened his eyes wide: "Is it still powerful?"

"Yes." Xu Meng nodded and briefly explained, "Not just attacking, other things are also possible."

Yin Zhiyuan could no longer hold back his expression. He grabbed Xu Meng's arm, subconsciously bowed his shoulders, and said earnestly and impatiently:

"May I see it?"

"please!"
