The virtual empire starts from the game

Chapter 401 Mom! I don't have to stand while driving anymore! (asking for monthly tickets)
In the next few days, the schedule for players participating in the offline trial session became very simple.

During the day, I played games in the Dream Machine Experience Hall which is not yet open to the public, and at night I continued to play games in Hall 1.

——Of course, if you can’t get in line, you can just go for a run by the Jinghu Lake or work up a sweat in the hotel gym.

Then I went back to my room and played with my phone.

Unfortunately: there are only a few players who can queue up.

Because the competition they face is very fierce——

For players and tourists from all over the world, Hall 1 is a must-visit place.

In addition to tourists, local players from Ningzhou also gathered here.

[Ocean Survival Competition] The top 100 players have a lot to do with luck, and not all of them are celebrities.

But Sky Arena Top 100 is different!

Many of them are minor celebrities. Every time they play, there are a large number of spectators waiting to watch. Some of them even carry brand endorsements of all sizes.

Already half a "professional boxer".

The top 20, in particular, are incredibly popular, almost as popular as real professional boxers.

They no longer need to work in an office from nine to five. As long as they maintain a stable winning rate, they can earn enough income.

After they no longer have to go to work, they can devote a lot of time to training, accumulating experience, and becoming stronger.

Stronger strength, more fans, and higher income.

It has entered a positive cycle.

Now, with all these people gathered in Ningzhou at once, one can imagine the influence on the players - there are too many people who want to come and chase stars, take photos, and join in the fun.

Hall 1 was packed, no doubt about it.

Even the entire Jinghu Park has completely bid farewell to its former tranquility.

Xu Meng was still wondering whether this would affect the old men and women visiting the park, when the Ningzhou Municipal Government took the initiative to come to him.

But they did not limit their dreams, but took the initiative to put forward a bold idea -

Focusing on the Dream Building Headquarters, the area around Jinghu Lake will be developed into a large creative park to attract players from all over the world to "make pilgrimage to the holy land".

This will in turn boost tourism and consumption in the entire Ningzhou.

When Xu Meng heard the third-in-command of the Ningzhou Municipal Government personally say the fashionable term "pilgrimage", he was also stunned.

They asked Xu Meng for her opinion.

Of course Xu Meng agreed.

And immediately had an idea -

Just want to encourage players to exercise more, just install a lot of holographic equipment around Jinghu Lake!
Just like many scenic spots like to disguise speakers as rocks.

Zhumeng can also disguise holographic equipment and speakers as stones, electrical boxes, telephone poles, bird nests, sculptures... and other common things in life, and install them around Jinghu Lake.

And at a specific time, treasure chests, monsters, NPCs or other things will be projected, allowing players to hunt for treasures, fight, encounter, and complete tasks!

In addition, the city government has proposed a package of plans including IP creativity, stage plays, game festivals, e-sports events, etc.

It is entirely possible to create a large theme park that combines virtual and reality!
By then, a lot of players will come over even just to have a chance encounter with the game characters.

This has been verified by many theme parks.

Of course, we also have to consider that Zhumeng is still working here and the employees are reluctant to move.

During the specific planning and design, the surrounding area of ​​the office should not be affected.

However, Xu Meng doesn't need to worry about these problems.

Zhumeng is already a big company, he just needs to nod, and the rest of the matters will naturally be handled by dedicated staff and the government.

He himself is still concentrating on pushing the R&D team of the photon topology server array forward.

This project is really inseparable from him.

And he himself also very much needs the results of the project.

It's not just the servers that are becoming more powerful and latency that's being reduced.

The performance leap of the photonic chip itself is also a huge progress that is enough to shake the semiconductor industry chain.

Xu Meng is not very interested in the industrial chain, but he is very interested in how powerful chips can improve the performance of various hardware!
[Holographic Belts] Why are there only 10 of them on sale?

Is Xu Meng worried that they won’t be able to sell all of them?
of course not!

He is confident that he can easily sell out 100 million or 200 million pieces.

But the holographic belt is too light after all, and its performance is limited.

The custom-made belt that Xu Meng made for Xiao Meng at all costs also needed computing power provided by Zhumeng's server, otherwise it would not be enough for Xiao Meng.

Not to mention mass-produced belts.

Let’s not talk about the characters in “Frost and Snow Project” for now - dream building must take social impact into consideration, and the function of allowing players to take their characters outdoors is not yet open.

Even if it is open, the "wisdom" bestowed by the Mind Cube cannot be taken away.

Because the performance of the holographic belt is not enough.

We can only bring out the Dragon Soul system which does not require too much computing power and has relatively simple action logic.

Even so, computing power is tight.

The Spirit project team had to reluctantly cut out a large number of delicate special effects and find ways to optimize them to ensure overall smoothness.

Not to mention the "Dragon Soul 3V3" and "Attribute Counteraction" that can only be done on the design plan, which is completely impossible. But as long as the photon chip and photon topology server array are successfully developed, everything will be very different!

Both the performance of the holographic belt itself and the data uplink and downlink rates of cloud games will be greatly improved!
Many things that were impossible to do before will eventually come to fruition.

That’s when the holographic belts will be mass-produced and fully launched into the market.

……

……

While the offline scene is bustling, the popularity of the dream machine is also continuing to rise on the Internet.

"Project Frost", "Lord of War" and "Monster Hunter" were all tried out on the Dream Machine.

Every time before the trial is over, there are always a bunch of people squatting on social networks, waiting for the trial players to express their opinions.

The next morning was "Project Frost and Snow".

Less than five minutes into the session, someone made a fiery statement:

"Fuck! I'm already lying down, and you're telling me that I can't play if I'm under 18?"

"Are you kidding me???!"

"Boiled!"

Netizens burst into laughter.

She also comforted him: "It's okay, you can play when you grow up."

"This game is not very friendly to the physical and mental health of teenagers. You should go play with the spider first."

"Yes, if you want to see porn, you can go to the bathing pool of the [Evil Spirit Coffin]."

"Children, study hard and make progress every day."

Ten minutes later, new news appeared:

The Dream Machine version of "Frost and Snow Plan" provides the [Harmony Switch] as always.

And once opened, it's more serious than the harmony of the fantasy game suite!
——But this is actually a compromise made for "rationality".

Some fashions may not look that good when viewed on the screen.

But when you are there, you will find:

There is nothing physical about them!

Some "Southern Hemisphere" designs will 100% be exposed under normal physics!

There are also various clothing designs that ignore gravity or even fight gravity!
These phenomena that violate physics will seriously affect the sense of immersion.

Therefore, there is a version that is more in line with physics and pursues maximum immersion and realism.

Of course, Dream Building also preserves the original version in pursuit of maximum restoration, character charm and visual spectacles.

However, netizens can only learn about the invisible version through feedback from trial players.

But most of the people who participated in the trial were veteran players.

It is very clear that there are some things that if you don’t mention them and I don’t mention them, everyone will tacitly pretend that they don’t exist.

But if you are too arrogant and distribute things that are obviously oversized everywhere, causing huge controversy, you may face rectification.

Although DreamZhu has a strong background, there is no need to take the risk.

After a discussion in the group, they became very careful about what they said online, and their statements were secretive and ambiguous.

What is "beyond imagination", "paradise", "a world in dreams"...

Netizens were itching to do it, but there was nothing they could do.

Fortunately, in the subsequent "Lord of War" and "Monster Hunter", everyone was much more honest.

Whatever thoughts and feelings are expressed clearly, without hiding anything:

"Too damn strong! The heavy machine gun on the opposite side made our three teams unable to raise their heads!"

"Interpenetrate? Interpenetrate what the hell! Bullets are flying everywhere, it's so scary!"

"This weather system is too outrageous! It's winter and I'm shivering all over. And we still want to fight a war? What a waste!"

“I ran for 20 minutes to the front line, but I didn’t even see an enemy and was killed instantly! Hahahaha, [Hell on Earth] is so much fun!”

"Oh my god! Why didn't anyone tell me that the Barbarian Jaw had bad breath? It's killing me!"

"The battle-hardened dragon's appearance is so powerful! Is this the might of the dragon?"

"The pressure from the Nergigante is too strong! My body is shaking uncontrollably and I can't even swing my sword..."

"The Mansheng can drive a flying car, and the sense of substitution is much better than the illusion kit!"

“Not just the flying cars, all vehicle experiences are unmatched!”

"Mom, I don't have to stand up to drive anymore!"

……

Through the reactions and descriptions of these players, netizens deeply felt the power of the dream machine.

The voices urging Dream Machine to be put on the shelves as soon as possible are getting louder and louder!
[Boss Xu! My roommate has a terminal illness, and his biggest regret is that he has never experienced the Dream Machine! Can you quickly put the Dream Machine on the shelves to fulfill his wish?]
The heroic sniper was at home, scrolling through his phone out of boredom, and casually gave a like to the post "Be happy and you'll be a superhero".

Behind him, Ye Ying was struggling on the universal treadmill.

His spirit is only one step away from the tenth level [peak]!
