Reboot the age of gaming

Chapter 398 Li River Race
Zhong Ming came to Yunuo Technology with the finished demo of "Fortune Speed".

The engineering machine of the driving simulator has been produced, and the most urgent work now is to make some experience adjustments in conjunction with the demo of "Xtreme Speed".

For example, in the game "Extreme Speed", some vibrations of the speeding car due to steering, airflow disturbance and other reasons must be displayed on the driving simulator, and the somatosensory vibration amplitude must be different in different situations.

Moreover, some controllable things also have to be tuned repeatedly according to the situation of the demo, in order to ensure that players get the best gaming experience.

After a while, he came to the office of Yunuo Technology, and Zhong Ming found that it was obviously overcrowded.

This increase in personnel is visible to the naked eye. From the beginning of the production of GS1 simulators, to the production of full-view displays, and then to motion suits... Every time I come, I can see that the number of employees of Uno Technology has increased.

Although Yunuo Technology is equivalent to an OEM, it is only design + parts integration, and the products are directly handed over to the foundry for processing, but the various scientific research personnel, publicity, design and other teams are getting larger and larger. The demand for venues must also continue to improve.

"Mr. Zhong, you are here. Come, this way, the driving simulator is on the 17th floor."

Lin Xiaoguang received Zhong Ming and took him to the 17th floor by elevator.

"I moved a little while ago, but I can't help it. The original office space is not enough, and I rented a new office space. The expansion is too fast, which is also an annoyance." Lin Xiaoguang said with emotion.

When he was in Moya Technology before, he had an office building at home, so naturally he would not encounter such a problem.

Since the establishment of Uno Technology, this technology company has expanded at an extremely fast speed. Every new device sold well. As a subsidiary company of Weiguang Interactive Entertainment, Yuno Technology must also implement the idea of ​​not working overtime, so it is natural to recruit people.

If there are too many people recruited, the venue will naturally not be enough.

"Weiguang Interactive Entertainment's headquarters building is already under planning, and several versions of the design plan have been released. Construction should start at the end of the month. When the headquarters building is completed, we can move there directly. There won't be so many things to do," Zhong Ming said. .

Lin Xiaoguang nodded: "Yes, yes."

Lin Xiaoguang naturally knew about the Weiguang Interactive Entertainment headquarters building.

The two came to the 17th floor, and Zhong Ming saw the driving simulator engineering machine.

Just like the design he gave, it is a big ball with a base, but it is still all silver, and there will be some painting on the outside, but it is an engineering machine after all, and I haven't had time to make those bells and whistles.

According to the design, the big ball of the driving simulator is actually divided into inner and outer layers, which are supported by suspension technology. The inner sphere, that is, the cockpit where the player is located, is evenly stressed and can rotate freely.It's just that the inner and outer double-layer structure cannot be seen from the outside.

There is an opening on the side, through which the player can go directly.Through the opening, you can see the internal structure of the driving simulator, including the driving seat, steering wheel, and various instrument panels and control equipment.It's just that it has not been turned on yet, so the instrument panel that was originally displayed on the screen is now gray, and nothing is displayed.

"Ms. Zhong brought the latest demo, right? The original version of the demo used for debugging is installed in the driving simulator now." Lin Xiaoguang said.

Zhong Ming nodded, connected the wristband to the GS1 main unit in the driving simulator, and then transferred the latest version of "Xtreme Speed" demo stored in the wristband to install it.

The latest driving simulator also uses the same solution as the GS1 simulator, and the simulator is separated from the host. The GS1 host has a special socket at the base of the emulator, which can be automatically connected as long as it is plugged in.

Similarly, if players already have a GS1 X host, they only need to purchase an additional emulator device, which can save some money.

In order to cooperate with the hardware test, Zhong Ming provided an original version of the game demo. Now that there is an updated version of the demo, the previous one can be replaced.

Soon, the installation is complete.

"Come on, Teacher Zhong, let's experience it." Lin Xiaoguang asked the staff next to him to adjust the equipment.

Zhong Ming got into the driving simulator and lightly pressed the power button.The position of this button is the same as that of many luxury speed cars. These luxury speed cars support fingerprint start and unlock. The driving simulator does not need fingerprint start. Many luxury flying cars are consistent.

The opening of the driving simulator was closed, the air circulation system began to operate, and the bell could feel a slight wind blowing.In the process of driving, as the speed gradually increases, the feeling of blowing will continue to increase, simulating a sense of speed.Of course, the main purpose is to create a feeling, so that players won't be able to keep their eyes open.

The surrounding large screen lights up, the instrument panel lights up, the central control screen on the right side lights up, and various display devices in the driving simulator are quickly activated, and the originally dark inner space instantly becomes brighter .

The preparation screen soon appeared on the large wrap-around screen, entering into an event called "Li River Race".

Because it is just a demo for testing, most of the content in the game is not there yet, there is only one track. "Li River" is the name of a fictitious oriental modern miniature city in the game. It is located in the east of the island in the game, and it is dominated by Chinese-style buildings.

The wrap-around large screen simulated the feeling of looking out from the inside of the speeding car. Zhong Ming looked around and could see the speeding drivers racing with him. Of course, they were all intelligent AI.

The starting position of the speeding car is on the ground, but each road sign is in the air. Starting from a certain edge of the city, it wants to circle the entire Lijiang City.

At the end of the countdown, the small flag in the hand of the hot racing girl fell, and all the speeding cars sprayed out light blue tail flames at the same time, and quickly started to rush to the first road sign!
Zhong Ming was at the back, he was not in a hurry, he just started normally and followed the other speeding cars.

Gently pulling the steering wheel upwards, the speeding car began to fly into the air, and the speeding car in front rose significantly faster. Zhong Ming saw the opportunity, and went directly under the speeding car in front, successfully overtaking one.

Through the top screen of the wrap-around large screen, you can clearly see that your flying car is almost flying past the bottom of that flying car, and you can even clearly see the light blue tail flame of the nozzle at the bottom of the flying car.

Different from the racing game in Zhong Ming's previous life, the racing game in the parallel world is more like flying a plane. In addition to considering the four directions of front, rear, left and right, you also need to consider the two directions of up and down.However, this also gives the driver more room to operate. Overtaking on the ground is almost only a kind of overtaking on curves, but in speed games, there are overtaking in both directions up and down.

Soon, the speeding cars flew past the checkpoint and headed towards the Lijiang City in front of them.

Under the darkness of night, Lijiang City is brightly lit.

From the central control screen of the flying car, you can see the scene below the flying car. In the Lijiang City at night, many tourists are walking around, and many people raise their heads to watch the flying car speeding past in the sky.

In the night sky ahead, a huge airship floated by. This airship was made into the shape of a Huaxia dragon, and it also simulated the twisting movements of the Huaxia dragon's body when flying.

"woo~ho!"

The intelligent AI racers screamed excitedly, driving the speeding car to pass under the airship, and the speeding cars passed around the huge airship, the visual effect was quite shocking.

Immediately afterwards, the speeding cars passed through more checkpoints, sometimes passing through the gap between two buildings; The scenery of Lijiang City is unobstructed.

Halfway through the flight, a group of flying cars flew around a high-rise building, and they could clearly see the garden on the top of the high-rise building.

This is one of the historic sites in the game. It is a garden imitated according to the Humble Administrator's Garden, but it is built on the roof of a high-rise building.When driving the flying car through the checkpoints around the tall buildings, you can clearly see many details inside the garden.

There are many such historic buildings, and they are all distributed in every corner of the map in the game. Players will pass through these places when they are in various races and underground races.

Zhong Ming skillfully drove the speeding car, surpassing one opponent after another, and even had free time to check how well the various auxiliary systems in the game were doing.

"Extreme Speed", like many racing simulation games, has an extremely rich auxiliary system, allowing players to experience the thrill of this driving game to the maximum.

The most common is the navigation line. When the player needs to turn and the speed is too fast, the navigation line will turn red, and the player needs to slow down at this time.As long as ordinary novice players run honestly according to the navigation line, cooperate with various driving system functions such as deceleration and cornering assistance, even if they step on the accelerator all the way, they can basically run a pretty good result.

For experts, it is naturally recommended to turn off these auxiliary functions to obtain the most realistic driving experience.The more auxiliary functions you turn off, the more rewards you will get for completing the race. This is a benefit for those big guys.

These settings can be adjusted directly on the central control screen. Generally, players have to pause the game before adjusting them, but Zhongming doesn’t need it, and it can be adjusted while driving.

After testing all these auxiliary functions, Zhong Ming has reached No.2 without making a sound, and it is only a matter of time before surpassing No.1.

As the speeding car continued to dive, lift, and flip, the cockpit where Zhong Ming was located was also constantly rolling.

The entire cockpit is nested inside the big ball through suspension technology, so whether it is diving, stretching or flipping, it is very smooth.Zhong Ming even deliberately used the flying car to scratch and collide with other flying cars. The vibration from the simulator was also very timely and real.

On the second lap, a wanted icon suddenly appeared on the upper right corner of the big screen, and Zhong Ming heard the siren from behind him.

The night map of Lijiang City is a "underground racing" gameplay map.In "Underground Racing", the player's identity is an underground driver, not an official competition.However, after the completion of this kind of racing, the monetary income is far more than that of conventional racing activities.

It is precisely because this is not an officially organized competition that the police cars were quickly alerted.

Zhong Ming lightly pressed a button, and the speeding car's weapon system was activated.

In this mode, the police car will try to stop all the speeding cars that are racing illegally. If the speeding car does not use the weapon system to attack, the police car will not attack, but will only approach and then collide; if the speeding car uses the weapon system to attack the police car, then The police car will also use the weapon system to fight back.

As for whether to use it or not, it all depends on the player's personal choice.

Zhong Ming wanted to test whether the weapon system worked well, so of course he fired directly without hesitation.

He controlled the flying car to flick its tail abruptly, passed the checkpoint, made a sharp turn and flew past the edge of the building, then fixed his eyes on the police car chasing on the right, and pressed the fire button on the flying car steering wheel with his right thumb.

"Da da da da da..."

The automatic machine guns on the top and right side of the flying car began to spit out flames, and bullets streaked across the night sky, hitting the side of the police car densely, causing the police car to lose its balance and fall downwards.

But soon, the police car stabilized in the air and chased after it again.

All vehicles have bulletproof design, even if they are hit, they will not crash immediately.As for the player's own flying car, the weapon system can be freely modified and upgraded. The automatic machine gun is only the most basic and primitive weapon system, and there will be more powerful weapons in the future.

Soon, other police cars also started to fight back, and the bullets from the automatic machine gun also hit the shell of Zhongming Speed.

Zhong Ming also specially adjusted the angle of the speeding car, so that the jet holes and some weak armor plates of the speeding car would not be hit by bullets, otherwise it would be easy to make a mistake and cause eternal hatred.

Bullets hit the speeding car intensively, and the central control screen accurately displayed the location of the bullets and the damage assessment of the speeding car.

Evaluation Result: Minor.

That is to say, there is no serious problem, and you can continue to fly.

At the moment of being shot, there was a vibration from the corresponding position of the simulator that simulated the impact of the bullet, and it spread slightly to the entire simulator. The effect of the surround sound was transmitted to Zhong Ming's ears.

"Okay, that's exciting."

Zhong Ming drove the speeding car again, while observing the police cars on the side and rear through the rearview mirror and the central control screen, he had to make evasive actions from time to time, otherwise he would be hit by bullets.At the same time, he was constantly aiming and counterattacking through the line-of-sight capture system. A police car was quickly hit, and could only stagger to the ground with black smoke, and quit the chase.
