Chapter 303: Picking Stars with Your Hands
Lu Ming was silent for a long time, then suddenly looked up slowly.
"You two."
"From now on, any game projects and all plot twists must be reported in advance!"
Looking at the two bad review killers, Lu Ming was speechless for a moment.
With these two people’s outstanding performance, they will definitely have no chance of participating in the next project!
Send the two away.
The monitor in front of Lu Ming was still on, and the Deep Blue platform interface was lit.
On the homepage recommendation page, "Undercover Becomes Stronger" is ranked No. 1 in "Plot Design Recommendation".
The recommendation in the lower right corner is: "Faith is seen in the hidden, a glimmer of light in the darkness of human nature."
Lu Ming stared at the line of words, his eyelids twitching.
He clicked the mouse, and the comments section was flooded with all kinds of touching and praise:
"When I first started playing, I really thought this game was just to disgust me, but later I realized I didn't understand the protagonist's tears."
“Every NPC in Mingde Gate seems to be shining into reality... I highly recommend playing it multiple times!”
"The plot is amazing! I suggest it be made into a TV series!!"
He then clicked on the comment section of "Border Partner".
"I thought it was a funny game at first, but after beating it, I actually felt a little sad."
"A profound work! I strongly urge you to develop a sequel!"
Lu Ming flipped through them one by one:
"Out of My Control" is linked to the Floating Shore Experience Hall. The horror story linkage has been called "the most immersive experience" by players.
"Mistaken Path in the Wilderness", mythical, the ceiling of battle royale!
"Time Journey", a must-play masterpiece for Whale Watching!
…
All, damn, all, are good reviews!!!
Looking at the rave reviews on the Deep Blue platform,
Lu Ming's fists stiffened as he watched.
On the current Deep Blue platform,
As long as it is a Whale Leap Game project, all of them have received rave reviews.
Originally, "Border Buddies" and "Undercover Becomes Stronger" were not among them.
However, now that the game has turned around, the shortcomings of Jingyue, which has received rave reviews, have been made up in one fell swoop!
He turned around and looked at Jingyue's latest backend operation data.
Strings of numbers are more suffocating than comments.
Daily activity has reached a new breakthrough!
The entire game seems to have entered a period of high repurchase!
The daily download volume has broken through again.
Total revenue increased by another 200 million in just one week.
…
Lu Ming took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.
"I know I should be happy."
“But I can never be happy.”
Lu Ming looked up at the ceiling of the office dejectedly.
The white ceiling was actually starting to become a bit dazzling.
It won't be long until the next settlement.
Whale Leap doesn't have any new projects.
However, Lu Ming's life ideal has not yet been realized.
He has not yet created a popular and criticized game through his own efforts,
What should be the next project?
Lu Ming still has no idea.
I always feel like my mind is empty.
I don't know what happened to the 100 million I spent this month.
Thinking of this, Lu Ming stood up.
He planned to go to Yao Wenqing's place to see what projection gaming equipment he had. He couldn't possibly be stabbing him in the back, would he?
Thinking about this, Lu Ming stood up.
Took the elevator down a few floors.
The independent experimental area of Yao Wenqing's project team is located on the newly rented third floor.
This was specially arranged for Yao Wenqing.
Yao Wenqing is responsible for the design, decoration and equipment of the entire floor.
Although it is not luxurious, the various equipment and instruments here are definitely the largest investment among all departments of Jingyue.
Every time Lu Ming comes here, he feels like an illiterate.
As soon as I reached the door, it slid open automatically.
After seeing Yao Wenqing with disheveled hair in the testing room,
Yao Wenqing was very excited.
"Mr. Lu, you're here!"
"We just finished testing the projection control module for the fifth time! The results are very good!"
"Would you like to come and visit?"
"Wow, this is already the fifth iteration? You're really fast! You're worthy of being the one leading the project!"
Lu Ming followed in reluctantly.
The entire experimental area has been completely transformed.
The main scene area is surrounded by a circle of curtains with adjustable light sensitivity, and more than a dozen sets of circular track projectors are hung on the ceiling.
Yao Wenqing excitedly introduced it while operating:
"Mr. Lu, look, our imaging area uses depth projection + inductive flat-panel reflection technology. From a single volume, it's just a projector!"
"However, we've upgraded the main control panel. Now we can dynamically project multi-level focus changes, including blurry distant scenes, sharp close scenes, virtual and real person superposition, and real-time color temperature changes..."
Lu Mingkou didn't even need to listen to the end because he couldn't understand anymore.
He took two steps and saw densely packed schematics, circuit diagrams and formulas on the wall.
There were also a lot of terms that made his scalp tingle.
Yao Wenqing was still introducing.
"...and this time we're using contactless body tracking, so every movement can be directly linked to a scene trigger! From vision to touch, we've achieved a preliminary level of virtual empathy!"
"Even unlike traditional one-sided projection, with the fusion of multi-configuration projections, we can achieve multi-faceted scene content!"
Lu Ming nodded dryly:
"Oh... then... can we play this?"
Yao Wenqing suddenly became excited.
"Of course! It's still in the initial demo stage, but the main logic is working."
"It's just that we haven't adapted it to the game yet, so we can only experience it first! And if you experience it in our lab, it might be even better!"
After he finished speaking, he clapped his hands, and the light in the experimental area changed, and the entire environment seemed to fall into the Milky Way in an instant.
“Click.”
The track projector on the ceiling starts up,
Beams of light poured down like falling galaxies, as if the entire universe was slowly wrapping around Lu Ming.
Moreover, it's not just the wall in front of me,
On the ground where Lu Ming stepped,
It also lights up quietly, and the stars move like quicksand.
Lu Ming stood where he was and couldn't help but raise one hand slightly.
Before his eyes, slowly rotating star projections were suspended in the air, like real celestial models.
Yao Wenqing said excitedly:
"Mr. Lu! Do you see that reddish star on the left? Slowly move your hand closer to it, and it will trigger the orbital tracking mechanism!"
Lu Ming carefully reached out towards the "star"
“Pah.”
The entire star actually trembled slightly as if it was being "pulled", and then its trajectory was slightly adjusted, slowly approaching him.
That feeling...
It was like literally picking the stars.
Lu Ming couldn't help but grin.
It's really amazing.
This technology is really something.
"...This is pretty cool."
"Alright, Engineer Yao, you did a great job!"
Yao Wenqing looked like a child who had been praised, with a proud look on his face:
"Boss Lu, this is the new module we just made!"
"Alright, alright, alright..."
Lu Ming interrupted him,
"Just tell me how much this thing costs?"
Yao Wenqing licked his lips.
"Mr. Lu, you've seen that we have so many equipment here, so we charge by the set..."
"...Now, all of this equipment, including the main control unit, thermal imaging module, five sets of track projectors, plus the custom algorithm board and ambient sound source... preliminary estimates put the cost at around 1.4 million."
Lu Ming: “…”
"How much did you say?"
"One million and four hundred thousand!?"
Lu Ming had no expression on his face.
Is this a great price? Why do you talk like you're grabbing New Year's goods?
However, after thinking for a while, Lu Ming was secretly happy!
Mr. Yao, you...you really understand me!
"Engineer Yao, who is this equipment for?" Lu Ming asked.
Yao Wenqing said seriously:
"I thought about it and decided that it would mainly target high-end players and professional experience venues. We are currently planning to cooperate with several museums and science and technology museums on a pilot basis so that it can be used as an immersive science exhibit."
"As for gamification... we are currently adjusting the scene accuracy. Also, the current device size may not be convenient for average individual users..."
Lu Ming nodded in agreement, but his mood was a little complicated.
He admitted that he was really moved the moment he felt that he could "pick the stars with his hands".
The sense of technology, the futuristic feeling of virtual reality and projection, suddenly inspired his long-lost love for the essence of games.
But the next second...
Lu Ming looked at the rows of orbital projectors above his head, which were worth millions.
Looking at the pile of unopened sensor modules in the corner, his eyes changed.
It’s too expensive!
Huge space requirements!
The equipment assembly is complicated!
The experience threshold is high!
The game content has not been adapted yet!
Cool is cool!
Advanced is advanced!
But it’s too flashy and too detached from the players!
