Chapter 414 Scorched Earth Evacuation
"That's settled then!"
When Yao Wenqing, Cheng Qing and Lu Ming said this, the atmosphere in the conference room seemed to be ignited.
Everyone has a blueprint for the future in their mind.
But no matter how good the words are, the hardware must support them first.
Yao Wenqing knew very well that he would have a lot of things to do in the future.
Production line models, test prototypes, somatosensory feedback systems, operational safety protocols, installation services, content deployment logic...
These things need to be resolved.
So, after Lu Ming left,
Yao Wenqing immediately began to sort out the entire R&D process and the priority of each development.
Time flies.
Lu Ming was also full of anticipation.
Since leaving Lao Yao,
He felt like he was walking with the wind.
If you have a picture in your mind, your feet will naturally feel strong!
This is the longing for whale fall!
…
Time flies, and it is the end of the year and the eve of the Spring Festival.
Several strings of red lanterns have been hung in the office.
The air is filled with a sense of relaxation as the New Year is approaching.
Lao Zhou's "Forge Front" was finally completed at the last minute before the New Year.
Lao Zhou was sitting in the office, holding a cup of hot coffee in his hand.
On the computer screen, the last line of packaging log has been completed.
Lao Zhou exhaled lightly, put the coffee cup on the table, stood up,
"Well... my old waist can finally rest for two days."
"Sitting for so long every day is almost causing problems with my blood circulation!"
Old Zhou turned his head and looked out the window.
It was already dark outside the window, and the lights of the whole city were gradually lighting up.
But at this moment, what makes Lao Zhou feel the most festive is not the lanterns or the holidays.
But this game, "Forgefront" is finally going online!
After investing so much and developing it intensively for so long,
Even "Mountain Patrol" has been online for so long,
Old Zhou also felt pressured.
But fortunately, everything caught up!
"Mr. Lu!"
Lao Zhou quickly sent a message, his tone like thunder:
"It's done! It's really done!"
When Lu Ming saw the message, he was in the office looking at travel guides for the end of the year.
But after reading Lao Zhou's message, the corners of his mouth slowly rose.
This speed is fine!
And the timing was just right,
The winter vacation has already begun for primary, secondary and high schools across the country, and college students have returned home one after another.
This stage of "half at home, half idle, half idle" is exactly the time period when new games are most likely to become popular.
Especially for cooperative games like Forgefront,
It’s just like the demand for people to play cards or mahjong during the Chinese New Year!
"good!"
"Old Zhou! Then just go online as normal according to the nodes we planned before!"
…
Two days later,
In Chengdu, in an ordinary residential area.
Jiang Cheng, a college student who was spending his winter vacation at home, was lying on the sofa and browsing his phone bored.
"Oh my, I lie at home and watch videos every day, my head hurts."
"I'm out of games for the winter break. Any recommendations?"
"Whale Leap's Forgefront has been hyped up for so long, it should be released soon!"
At this time, Jiang Cheng had just finished taking a shower and was lying on the sofa in his pajamas.
He casually flipped through various forums,
In the past few days, the entire Internet has been almost flooded with Jingyue’s publicity campaign.
Weibo trending searches, sound wave challenges, top posts on major forums, and impactful promotional images took turns flooding the screen:
In the black and red ruins of the battlefield, cold weapons and firearms are intertwined, and flames from the forges are blazing among the ruins.
The four-man team stood shoulder to shoulder, three of them holding various weapons and guarding the surroundings, and the man in the middle faced the simple forging furnace, with sparks flying around.
Players in the comment section were discussing this heatedly:
"Whale Leap has released a new game?"
"Shooting games are exactly what I like!"
"Random weapons + real-time assembly, now the tactics are ever-changing!"
"The Lunar New Year hasn't even ended yet, and Jingyue has already stuffed a huge Lunar New Year gift bag into my pocket."
"This is my online New Year's Eve game. Mahjong and other things are out of the question!"
Jiang Cheng got up and turned on the computer.
It wasn't long after the winter break that he started to have a gaming drought.
I'm tired of the few games I usually play, and all the mobile games are full of pay-to-win activities.
So when he saw the promotional picture of "Forge Front" on the forum, and when he saw that the game would be launched today,
I became restless in a short time.
"A new Whale Leap game? A cooperative shooter?"
"Random Map", "Gunsmith", "Mixed Cold Weapons and Firearms", "Resource-Driven Tactics", "Four-Player Squad"...
These words were like nails driving into his heart.
"Isn't this the kind of cooperation I dreamed of? No distinction between classes, the battlefield changes at any time, and the game is won through tactics and resources..."
“Then we must make a plate.”
Jiang Cheng quickly logged into his Deep Blue platform.
The download page of Forge Front is designed to look like a half-collapsed front-line workshop.
In the background, the fire from the forge reflected the black sky red, and in the middle was a button that said "Buy Now".
Game price: 88 yuan,
Jiang Cheng pressed it without hesitation.
For him during the Chinese New Year,
This little money is nothing.
"Downloading... 8%... 14%..."
The progress bar jumps one by one, and tips are scrolling next to it:
"The map is refreshed randomly, and resources are collected in real time."
"Protect your gunner, he's the heart of the squad."
"Cold weapon relics, technological ruins, wasteland ecology, multiple battlefield experiences."
"Scorched Earth Evacuation Mode"
Hive Defense Mode
Regicide Hunting Mode
"Synchronous launch!"
Each one touched Jiang Cheng's heart.
The degree bar finally reached 100%.
A heavy iron door popped up from the game launcher, and the sound of gears turning was accompanied by sparks.
It was like a forge slowly opening and closing.
Then the screen went black, and lines of white words appeared:
[The world crumbles on the battlefield, and civilization is reborn in the forge.]
【Dismantle despair and forge answers.】
【Wherever the forge is, there is the front line.】
[He who holds the tools is the pioneer.]
The victory or defeat of a war is not just on the battlefield
Still between the echoes of fire and steel.
Jiang Cheng took a deep breath and suddenly felt his palms getting slightly hot.
I leaned back in my chair, my heart beating a little faster.
He hasn't experienced this sense of ritual of "opening a new pit" for a long time.
After entering the main interface of the game, there is a gray-black factory background, and the main page music slowly plays.
It's not passionate orchestration, nor hardcore drum beats.
It was a low sound of iron hammering.
Bang—boom—bang!
On the side, there are several menu bars.
[Single Player Training], [Match Start], [Mode Selection]...
As the UI slowly lights up, a prompt box pops up:
Welcome to Forgefront
[Do you want to enable the beginner guide? ]
Jiang Cheng immediately clicked "Skip Tutorial"
"Among us professional players, which one still starts with the beginner tutorial?"
"It's more exciting to actually fight!"
Jiang Cheng clicked [Match Start] without hesitation and created a room.
He has already thought about it.
The most frightening thing about this kind of cooperative game is encountering unfamiliar teammates with whom you have difficulty communicating.
So today, he has to bring his three college roommates along!
Four people in a dormitory, perfectly fit for a four-person team setting!
Jiang Cheng quickly called out in the group chat,
[Jiang Cheng]: Hurry up and get online! "Forge Frontier" is underway!
[Fatty]: Oh no? Didn't you say you'd quit playing games during the winter break?
[Kobayashi]: Is it too late to break the rules now?
[Ah Han]: Come on! I downloaded it a long time ago. I've been waiting for you to turn on the voice chat until the flowers have wilted!
A few minutes later, screenshots were sent to the group one after another: all three people were online.
Jiang Cheng watched as several people in the room came online one after another.
Nodded with satisfaction.
"Good, quick action. Our dormitory is worthy of being called a 24-hour strategic team."
"Do any of you want to play mechanic?"
Several people were silent. For them, charging to the front was obviously more exciting.
"Okay, I'll do it then!"
“It’s just an experience!”
There was a burst of booing on the other end of the voice:
"Forger Orange!"
"Cheng Gong is online!"
"Our lives all depend on your hammer and welding!"
【Roles confirmed】
【Team formation completed】
【Loading mode...】
A huge random gear popped up on the screen. The gear slowly turned, and entries such as map, mode, time period, resource concentration, etc. began to scroll.
After a moment, a prompt appeared:
[Confirmed: Scorched Earth Evacuation Mode]
[Map: Meteorite Scorch Field]
[Objective: Please complete the evacuation within the specified time]
