Reboot the age of gaming

Chapter 395 Ancient Architecture
Hearing Zhong Ming say that everyone can get a week's vacation after the game is finished, and the company will reimburse them wherever they want to play, everyone is excited.

"Is everyone on vacation?"

"You can go anywhere? And you'll be reimbursed? Awesome!"

"Boss is awesome! Thank you boss!"

The atmosphere in the studio became hot in an instant. Although the game hadn't been written yet, most of the employees were already thinking about the wonderful holiday of that week's public travel.

As for the core members of the art team, they have already started planning the route for this round-the-world trip.

It was only after this plan that I realized that a month was too late!

Before, these people thought that one month was very long, but after planning the route, they found that the task was heavy!
If you want to run all over the world's scenic spots within a month, you must also take care of some of the more famous city landmarks. These people must split up.

A few hours later, Jiang Wanna gave a schedule, and several core members of the art team said after reading it, it's over, I've been fooled!

According to this schedule, are you afraid you will die of exhaustion?

The key point is that they are not simply going to play this time, they are going to collect materials. After ordinary tourists arrive at the place, they will walk around and take a few photos. , You have to draw concept drawings and original paintings, and you have to conceive the design of the entire scene...

All told, a lot of the work might have to be done on the plane and in the hotel room.

Only then did the people in the art team realize that they were fooled!
Sure enough, he is still the boss thief, the routine is too deep!
However, considering that after the game is released, everyone will have a week's vacation, and then they can go to wherever they want to play, and there is no need to have any pressure to collect materials, so I am much happier thinking about it.

……

After the itinerary was set, the art group made preparations and set off.

Zhong Ming sent everyone downstairs, and mobilized a little bit before everyone rushed to the airport.

"Come on, everyone, make good use of materials."

Jiang Wanna smiled: "Don't worry, the task will definitely be completed."

The rest of the art team felt chills down their backs, why did they feel like they were being sold out?

"By the way." Jiang Wanna thought of one thing, "Is it okay to delete all the itineraries and route plans for places of interest that were planned before? Although most of these monuments are reconstructed from the surviving materials, it is always better to collect materials from the field. OK."

Zhong Ming shook his head: "It doesn't matter, you don't have to worry about collecting materials from ancient sites, I have other plans."

Seeing Zhong Ming's confident expression, Jiang Wanna stopped asking.She also knows that some structural restoration drawings of ancient monuments can be found on the Internet. Zhong Ming probably intends to directly use these structural restoration drawings to make architectural models in the game.

Everyone in the art team bid farewell to Zhong Ming and rushed to the airport. They had to transfer separately halfway to collect materials from all over the world. Everyone had a heavy task.

Zhong Ming returned to the studio and opened the mysterious program of the bracelet.

When Jiang Wanna made the itinerary before, she also included many historical sites in the world.

Of course, these monuments are not real monuments, but were restored later.

Regardless of whether it is the East or the West, most of the places of interest and historical sites have long been destroyed by the flames of war, and it would be nice to find a brick and a half.But before the Omnic Crisis, many places of interest had already been scanned, and there were virtual structural diagrams of them in the database, so after the Omnic Crisis, various cities began to rebuild these monuments.

Although it is not a real monument, the monument restored through the virtual structure diagram can still achieve the effect of being fake and genuine through deliberate old-fashioned effects.

Of course, the biggest problem is that many data structure diagrams have also been destroyed.

During the Omnic Crisis, almost all the data stored by humans on cloud servers was erased by artificial intelligence, and only a few data that existed on physical hard drives and were not connected to the Internet were preserved.Many of the virtual structural diagrams of various monuments have been damaged. When rebuilding, we can only use the existing preserved data, and through the speculation and brain supplementation of architects, to reconstruct a general idea.

But in fact, many reconstructed monuments are different from the previous ones in many details.

Therefore, Zhong Ming did not intend to ask the art team to collect materials from these reconstructed monuments, because there are many mistakes in these monuments, and the time of the art team is precious.

Zhong Ming found a better way.

When using the mysterious program to draw a lottery before, Zhong Ming only drew part of the points, not all of them.Later, in the lottery draw again, more than 4000 points were drawn. In addition to shipping a lot of previously used props, I also got a new prop: the ancient architectural skill book.

The props that are drawn will appear in the mall, and Zhong Ming can directly buy them with points, which can directly fill up the skill points of ancient buildings.

After using the skill book, the appearance, internal structure, relevant historical materials and other contents of various places of interest and historic sites automatically entered Zhong Ming's mind.

"Notre Dame Cathedral, Eiffel Tower, Tower of London, Temple of Heaven, Sphinx..."

Zhong Ming retrieved these places of interest that he is very familiar with one by one in his mind, and he is also fully aware of all kinds of fine structures.

All kinds of information were overwhelming, and Zhong Ming quickly exchanged a large number of universal search devices, searched for some information as an aid, and then took the hand-painted tablet and began to draw the structural diagrams of various famous buildings.

This kind of structural diagram is very complicated. After the fire in Notre Dame Cathedral in Zhong Ming's previous life, because of the laser scanning technology, it is still possible to restore it.An accurate laser scan often takes several years. The scan points will cover dozens of locations inside and outside the entire building, with hundreds of millions of data points. These contents will be repeatedly verified and retransmitted, and finally form a complete laser scan. 3D data.

However, for Zhong Ming, it is too difficult to achieve this level of precision. After all, he is purely hand-painted.Therefore, the structural diagrams of these monuments drawn by Zhong Ming are all based on the needs of the game, and achieve the highest level of precision at the game level.

But even so, it is still a protracted project to complete all of these more famous places of interest.Zhong Ming plans to do nothing for the next month, and just draw these structural diagrams, so that when other people come back from collecting materials, they can just add the structural diagrams of these historic buildings and plan the map of the entire game together.

According to Zhong Ming's vision, the story of "Xtreme Speed" takes place on an island, and there will be various scenic spots on this island, which will be used as landscape elements.

These scenic spots will be distributed in every corner of the island, and the island itself is full of different styles, including deserts, jungles, snow-capped mountains, etc., and places of interest and historical sites will be directly located in several major urban areas on the island.

These major urban areas include Chinese-style cities and Western-style cities. All the scenery and buildings in the world will be integrated in the game "Xtreme Speed" in a special way.

In other words, this time "Xtreme Speed" will not only be a racing game, but also a travel simulator.

……

In the following month, Zhong Ming and everyone in Weiguang Studio started the preparatory work for the development of "Xtreme Speed".

The core members of the art group have set off to collect materials from all over the world, and the natural scenery and cities are all within the scope of the materials;

The design team is improving the gameplay documentation of "Xtreme Speed". Except for the large map that needs to be determined after the materials are collected, other conventional gameplay must be completed at this stage, including the design and planning of various vehicles. without delay;

Zhong Ming is drawing the structural diagrams of various monuments, and these monuments will also be implemented in "Xtreme Speed", as an important supplement to the game content and a core selling point of the game;
At Yunuo Technology, Lin Xiaoguang is also organizing the research and development of the driving simulator designed by Zhong Ming. The goal is to release it at the same time as "Xtreme Speed".

During this period of time, some hot news appeared on the Internet. Among them, the most controversial one was undoubtedly the remarks made by a certain technology company boss about the 996 working system.

"Many companies and many people think that 996 has no chance. If you didn't 996 when you were young, when can you be 996? If you don't have 996 in your life, you think you are very proud? In this world, everyone wants to succeed , all want a better life, all want to be respected, I would like to ask everyone, how can you achieve the success you want if you don't put in the effort and time to surpass others?"

"So, today we are able to 996, I think it's a blessing from those of us."

This passage was not said in public, but in an internal meeting of the technology company.But these remarks were quickly transferred to the Internet and sparked fierce quarrels.

Many netizens expressed: shameless!

996 This kind of anti-human working system can be called a "blessing"?
In fact, this topic has sparked controversy a long time ago. At that time, public opinion showed signs of polarization. Later, the world government also added a series of regulations to protect the legitimate rights and interests of employees.

But obviously, laws and regulations are one thing, and the actual practices of these companies are another.

Surprisingly, these remarks were not all one-sided criticism on the Internet, but many people stood up to support them, including many ordinary employees!

Soon, this passage was also reposted by CEOs of many companies. Peng Liang from i-Evaluation also specially explained it in the company's internal meeting, so that all employees can learn this fighting spirit.On his personal Weibo, he also wrote a long Weibo, describing his views on the 996 working system.

"The recent remarks about 996 have caused a lot of quarrels. In my opinion, there are only two kinds of words in this world, one is pleasant words, and the other is true words. And this passage about 996 obviously belongs to the latter .”

"As a senior boss, of course I can tell you that you can control your life as you like, enjoy it as you like, and live the life of a salted fish. But is this really the case? We have all heard the story of boiling frogs in warm water. Once you lose your aggressiveness, you will be quickly eliminated in this competitive society. Those who are more talented than you work harder than you, so what qualifications do you have to be a salted fish?"

"It is impossible to achieve success without putting in more effort and time than others. Since the establishment of i-evaluation, I have worked overtime and stayed up many times all night, and slept on the company floor when I was tired. Food and clothing for so many employees. I have never regretted choosing such a life of hard work, because only by working harder than others can you realize the value of life.”

"I can assert that there is no struggling entrepreneur or company founder in this world who would choose the kind of salted fish life you yearn for. Similarly, there is no company in the world that can completely abandon In the case of a wolf, it survived in this fierce market competition. Even if there is, it must be lingering and dying, and it is impossible to compete with the first-class companies.”

Peng Liang's remarks further fueled the flames of this topic, and the two groups of people quarreled over this issue.

Although i-evaluation is not a big technology company, it is still a well-known evaluation organization with a good influence on the Internet, and Peng Liang jumped out naked. The big guy just said it in an internal meeting The phrase "996 is a blessing", while Peng Liang wrote a lot on his Weibo, and even fought with a few enthusiastic netizens who raised different opinions, which naturally drew a lot of hatred .

"Shameless, this is the first time I've heard that working overtime is rewarded with extra rewards??"

"Damn it, you're the boss. If you think 007, I don't object. Anyway, the money you earn is yours. Can that be the same?"

"Is there any founder of a struggling company who will rest? No company can survive in the market competition without abandoning its wolf nature? I really don't believe it. How could there be none?"

"I think of someone, Zhong Ming!"

"That is, the issue you are discussing now has been discussed badly before. Shimmer Studios even released a game called "Working Dog Survival Manual", which is to criticize your thinking!"

The game from a few years ago was dug up by many players, and screenshots of many endings in the "Working Dog Survival Manual" were also taken out, slapping people in the face like crazy.

The ending of mediocre social animals, the ending of karoshi, the ending of mental breakdown, the ending of being fired, the ending of the victim of internal struggle...

It was only then that everyone discovered that this issue had been discussed in the "Working Dog Survival Manual" long ago, and the discussion was very in-depth!
The so-called "success studies" are all poisonous chicken soup. The game has already analyzed it very clearly. Working overtime in the name of struggle, the final result is either sudden death or mental breakdown. The best result is nothing more than change. Become a mediocre social animal.

"With a little more effort, by this time next year, my boss will be able to get a new car."

Those so-called struggles are nothing more than squeezing one's own life and health and creating more profits for the boss.

After Peng Liang made these remarks, many diss immediately aroused, and everyone dumped the screenshot of "Working Dog Survival Manual" under his Weibo, and then commented: "There is no company in the world. Can it survive in this fierce market competition without completely abandoning its wolf nature? Hehe, the strength of Weiguang Studio is blown to the face!"
