Chapter 311 Function unlocked, new CG customization
ah?
Seeing Honghuang’s unique announcement, the players raised a question from the bottom of their hearts.
Their announcements are all about developing virtual technologies and entering the virtual industry. You are taking the opportunity to advertise your own game, right?
"What do you mean? Doesn't Honghuang intend to take advantage of the popularity and make a virtual pie?"
"It's so funny, everyone is trying to get some free rides, only Honghuang is promoting it."
"It's the game of the same name as the previous Sword Art Online anime."
"Could it be... a virtual game?"
"What the hell are you thinking? The news was just announced yesterday. Even I can't even rush to the toilet as fast as you."
"Isn't it a VR game?"
“Would it be inappropriate to go online at this time?”
Nowadays, players’ attention is focused on virtual games, and the topic is hotter than ever before. Manufacturers will basically choose to avoid the limelight and postpone promotion and marketing.
But Honghuang chose to release a new game at this time. I don’t know whether it’s because they are careless or overconfident.
But it also reminds them.
It was because of this anime that the virtual game craze was set off.
It seems now.
It seems like it was really predicted by Hong Huang?
But even so.
This announcement still received little attention.
It was soon drowned in the vast sea of topics and disappeared.
…
Honghuang Studio.
Inside the newly opened R&D department.
After a few days of negotiations, the entire building has been purchased by them as Honghuang's headquarters.
The floor two floors above has been converted into the R&D department, and only core members who have passed identity verification can take the elevator up.
now.
Chen Lin has already obtained first-hand data from Liu Heng.
Combining the information I have on hand, I am working hard to complete the final production of the virtual equipment.
Old Song and Old Li stood aside, looking nervous.
"Mr. Chen, do you think we can really successfully make a gaming helmet?"
After watching for a while, Lao Li finally couldn't help but ask.
He didn't sleep all night last night, thinking about this matter over and over again, just waiting for this moment.
"Don't worry, we have been preparing for half a year and have obtained all the information. We are only one step away."
The investment of tens of billions of funds can have a huge impact.
At least in terms of preparation, they were nearly a year ahead of other manufacturers.
In addition to this only complete copy of the information and the research data provided by Liu Heng, it would be a waste if we couldn’t do it again.
"I heard that many manufacturers are now frantically purchasing cutting-edge equipment, and even the price of servers has increased several times. Fortunately, we bought these in advance." Old Song's words were full of emotion.
He had always wondered why Chen Lin went to so much trouble to get those cutting-edge equipment, even spending a huge amount of money to buy them from abroad.
Now he finally understood.
"Not only game manufacturers, but also other industries are scrambling for it. The price of a photolithography machine has been hyped up to 5 billion yuan."
Old Li smacked his lips.
Apparently similar messages were received.
If it had been sold at this price, they might not have been able to buy it, and those manufacturers would probably have suffered a huge loss.
Those chip manufacturers are probably going to make a lot of money.
“Success!”
“We did it!”
"Mr. Chen, come and see!"
As he was speaking, thunderous cheers suddenly spread throughout the entire floor.
Several R&D personnel responsible for testing the performance of the helmets were operating the equipment with great joy, watching the images displayed on the screen.
People from other testing groups also put down their work and quickly gathered around.
"Let's go! Go and take a look!"
Chen Lin and the other two were overjoyed and quickly made their way through the crowd.
Sure enough, I saw a character holding a long sword, standing on a familiar initial square, jumping excitedly, running and rolling back and forth, waving the long sword in his hand from time to time, and shouting at the screen.
"Hello, hey, can you see me? I'm in the game! I'm really in the game! This feeling is amazing! I... I don't even know how to describe it."
The tester was somewhat incoherent, and his heart rate and brain wave frequency on the instruments next to him were soaring.
If you think about it, you can understand it.
Because he is the first person in history to enter the game through a virtual helmet, his name will go down in history!
This would happen to an ordinary person.
I guess he would have fainted from excitement.
fortunately.
As R&D personnel, they all have a big heart.
After a brief calming, he quickly calmed down, picked up the microphone beside him, and said, "Hello, can you hear me? How do you feel now? Do you feel uncomfortable?"
"I can hear it. Apart from reminding me that my heart rate is high, there are no other abnormalities for the time being."
The testers did not forget their jobs and started cooperating in various tests.
The others watched eagerly, feeling nervous and excited.
Because they know how hot the discussion about virtual technology is now, and it has almost reached the point of full participation.
now.
They were able to create virtual equipment so quickly that it felt unreal, as if they were dreaming.
After all the tests were passed and the body detector did not give any abnormal alarms, I finally relaxed.
"Okay, let's log out first and see if there will be any abnormal login reaction."
"OK."
Respond.
The tester then logs out using administrative privileges.
He was lying on the sofa with his eyes closed, but they slowly opened and he looked around in a daze.
"How is it? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Chen Lin and a group of employees quickly gathered around.
It was not until then that the tester gradually came to his senses and was shocked by the lively scene before him.
"No, no, I just felt like I dozed off for a while and was a little confused, everything else is normal."
"That's good."
Chen Lin let out a sigh of relief.
The others clenched their fists and looked at each other excitedly.
"Quick, give him another full body check. This is our chance to go down in history!"
In an instant, the staff who had been waiting nearby hurried forward and conducted a full-body examination of the tester.
Others brought various equipment and started recording data.
The entire R&D department was once again filled with a heated atmosphere.
Until that afternoon.
Finally all the tests and records were completed and sealed away secretly.
Chen Lin also had a heavy device in his hand that looked like a motorcycle helmet.
"During this period, your main task is to learn data migration and port the game to this device as soon as possible. At the same time, find a trustworthy factory to start mass production of helmet shells."
"good!"
“Leave it to us!”
Old Song and Old Li said solemnly.
His eyes never left the helmet in Chen Lin's hand.
This helmet, which looks very ordinary and even a bit rustic, will be a major opportunity to change the entire industry landscape!
Even now.
They all felt dizzy.
It seems like nothing is real.
It wasn't until they walked into the elevator that Lao Song remembered something: "By the way, this thing hasn't been named yet. What do you think would be a good name?"
"Is there any need to ask? Of course it is named after Honghuang." Old Li said without thinking.
"Indeed." Chen Lin also agreed with him. "Since we developed it, of course we should use our name, let's call it... 'Honghuang 1st Generation Virtual Helmet'. The hardware technology is not mature yet. When it matures, we will develop the 2nd and 3rd generations and try to compress the size as much as possible."
“What a great name!”
Old Song exclaimed in praise.
One day.
Honghuang's name will spread throughout the world through this small helmet!
…
The virtual helmet was successfully produced.
The next step is much easier.
Chen Lin first held a meeting with the core members of each production team, and amidst the exclamations, he briefly revealed some information.
Then we started to deploy personnel , set up virtual departments on other floors, and started to build the Honghuang virtual platform and transplant the first game into it.
Everyone's enthusiasm was extremely high.
Especially when I learned that they were about to develop the world's first virtual platform, I was so excited that I didn't want to leave work.
Because they all know.
Honghuang Studio is about to rise !
By then, as old employees of the studio, their status will also rise, and they will no longer have to care about the faces of those platform operators.
Especially in recent times, they have been targeted by Suo Ni and Ren Tiandi, and they have been holding a grudge in their hearts for a long time. Everyone of them is trying their best to take revenge.
now.
This opportunity has finally come!
How could they not seize the opportunity?
Once I get busy, I feel exhausted.
While working hard to learn new technologies, he also led various teams to port games.
Although there were many difficulties , as they were from a technical background, they quickly overcame them one by one.
And the further you go, the easier it becomes.
Finally after more than a month.
"Sword Art Online" was successfully ported to the virtual platform and tested countless times.
Or rather...try it out secretly.
"Shit! Guang, come out quickly! It's my turn to do the test!"
"Didn't we agree that each person would play... the test for ten minutes?"
"It's already eleven minutes!"
"A Guang, you idiot, if you don't log out I will unplug you!"
"It's a good time to test the effectiveness of the backup power supply a few more times."
There was a lot of cursing in the testing team, and a group of people surrounded A Guang who was testing with a helmet on, wishing they could kick him off the line.
Designers from other manufacturers don’t play their own games.
They are just scrambling to play.
Just using a test account, they forced it into the maze area, and it seemed like they were about to see a boss on the first floor.
It's just outrageous.
"Okay, okay, can't I just log off?"
Under the urging of everyone, A Guang in the game quit with an unhappy look on his face, and took off the helmet on his head reluctantly.
then.
The next person in charge of the test immediately lay down, put on the helmet skillfully, entered the game, and prepared to test the boss's strength.
Others are guided by management authority and voice.
The whole floor was bustling with activity as everyone was doing the final finishing work.
As for Chen Lin.
I was in the office at this time, calling up the system interface.
Because not long ago, after the game was completed, a prompt sounded in his mind, unlocking new CG customization.
I clicked on it and saw that it was true.
[Function unlocked: Virtual CG customization]
[Price: Animation (100 million wealth/minute), Live-action (1 billion wealth/minute)]
“So expensive…”
Chen Lin took a breath of cold air.
He thought that the CG of the virtual platform would be at most ten or a hundred times more expensive.
But I didn't expect it to reach such an exaggerated level of 1 billion per minute.
Even though he earns 70 billion in wealth a year, he still feels a little stretched.
Is this what makes virtual platforms different?
But if you think about it carefully, it seems so.
If he guessed correctly, the customized CG here can be experienced immersively like a virtual game, so it is not surprising that it is expensive.
I am afraid that the way of making movies in the future will also undergo tremendous changes with the emergence of virtual platforms.
"Forget it, let's save it up first."
Taking a look at the more than 100 billion wealth accumulated in the past two years, Chen Lin could only customize more than 100 minutes of real-life CG. He was reluctant to spend it now.
After carefully understanding the situation, he picked up the phone and dialed Lao Song's number.
"Old Song, the virtual team is almost ready. Let's start issuing announcements for the first round of online testing."
"Okay, how many test spots do you want to open up?"
"Hmm... let's just say 10,000."
A smile appeared on Chen Lin's lips.
Of course, the first round of testing for Sword Art Online will require 10,000 of them.
He is still waiting to give those players a "surprise".
