The infrastructure starts from the plane hotel

Cao Mingjie quickly saw how realistic the "holographic technology" is.

He submitted samples of several materials to Chuci. On the second or third day, after Chuci entered the "sample data", Cao Mingjie could get the same materials in the "holographic space", in which sand and soil could only It's almost the same as before, and the quality of organisms such as algae is much better than the ones he purchased himself.

Cao Mingjie filled the blank holographic space with sand, planted algae, and then put in fish and shrimp. He saw the initial ecological circle built, as if cultivating half of his own small world, and he was immediately addicted to it.

With Chuci's permission, he posted some progress photos in Moments.

Unexpectedly, this move attracted several colleagues.

Among them, there is actually a Kaizi (X) boss.

Wan Shuangyi, Ph.D. in Oceanography, China University of Geosciences, visiting researcher at XX University, Maple Leaf Country.

At the same time, he is also an eco tank enthusiast.

The so-called ecological tank is to cultivate a miniature ecosystem in a glass tank.

There are grass tanks, rainforest tanks, sea tanks, and land and water tanks.

Playing this requires a certain amount of ecological knowledge, and the cost can be very low or very high.

Wan Shuangyi belongs to the type who plays very hard. He is a professional and has a little money at home. The biological tank he designed is so beautiful that he is well-known in the international circle, not to mention domestic.

But all the circles are similar, as long as you enter the circle and hang out for a long time, especially the top part, you will be familiar with each other.

Cao Mingjie and Wan Shuangyi are like this.

They are in a fan group, and they are related to each other on Weibo, which is a friendly relationship that can carry out business mutual bragging, but they are not friendly enough to chat privately.

Of course, Wan Shuangyi didn’t come here for Cao Mingjie at the beginning. He had a few meetings and needed to go to a city near Lintian City to attend, but there was a mistake in the meeting arrangement. There was a window period of a few days in between. , Wan Shuangyi organized a gathering of friends.

There are big bosses, and big bosses have money, and the nearby colleagues are happy to come.

When the tea and dinner are full, it is inevitable that someone will mention the famous ones in the local circle.

"Speaking of which, where's Mr. Cao? Didn't you come this time?"

"You said you have a job?"

"Hey, don't mention it, the rainforest tank he took care of recently exploded! I'm not in the mood to play recently."

"But I saw him post pictures in Moments yesterday."

"That seems to be a game! Poor thing, I'm so mentally exploded that I went to play games."

Their discussion aroused Wan Shuangyi's interest, and he asked curiously:

"Is that a game? I think the scene is very real!"

As he said so, he took out his mobile phone and checked Cao Mingjie's circle of friends.

From Wan Shuangyi’s point of view, everything in Cao Mingjie’s photos is very natural, and there is no shadow of the game, but the fish, shrimps and aquatic plants in it are very "large", and they don’t look like a breeding tank. , it seems to wrap a pond.

But the locals are not surprised: "The holographic projection of the Buzhou Hotel is very real... Mr. Wan, don't you know the Buzhou Hotel? It is the one that used the 'King Whale' as a promotion some time ago."

"That family!" Wan Shuangyi remembered.

He was also shocked by the picture of the empty whale at first, but Wan Shuangyi was abroad at the time, and news of other holographic technologies soon spread overwhelmingly. Spaceships, aliens, look much cooler than whales Yes, but actually it looks like that, there is no feeling of a real technological breakthrough, and Wan Shuangyi was not particularly interested in holographic technology at first, so he gradually forgot it.

Now seeing other people swear by the real photos that it is a game, as if they agree with the technology of Buzhou Hotel, it makes him a little interested.

"Why don't we go and see for ourselves, is this a 'game'?" Wan Shuangyi suggested.

His proposal was embraced by the crowd.

Anyway, the transportation is very convenient now. With the high-speed rail, it takes only an hour to travel from one city to another. On the contrary, they got out of the high-speed rail station and went to Buzhou Hotel to get stuck in the city for three hours.

"Everything about Buzhou Hotel is good, but the location is too remote."

"To be honest, I want to buy a house nearby for the sake of Cloud Whale and Diaotai."

"Buy it! The restaurant in Buzhou Hotel is getting more and more delicious, and I don't think it's a loss just for the stuttering. Besides, the Buzhou Hotel is still expanding recently, and the surrounding housing prices will rise."

Listening to other people's discussion, Wan Shuangyi became more and more curious.

If it wasn't for the habit of chatting in a group, he would almost have thought that this group of people were the trustees of the hotel.

Isn't it just a holographic-themed hotel?

If they go abroad to see the dazzling "holographic technology" recently, they will know that it is the same thing after seeing too much.

Wan Shuangyi thought disapprovingly, didn't join this topic, took out his phone and silently swiped.

I don't know how long it took before someone shouted:

"arrive!"

Only then did Wan Shuangyi raise his head.

He was sitting in the passenger seat, and when he raised his head, he saw the main building of the Buzhou Hotel - which was nothing unusual - what really shocked him was the building not far away that was still wrapped in a green protective net.

Wan Shuangyi let out an uninformed exclamation:

"Wow fuck!"

"That's the Yingbin Building of Buzhou Hotel."

The taxi driver introduced with a smile.

Not only Wan Shuangyi, but even those who chatted enthusiastically in the car, as long as they didn't come to Buzhou Hotel often, they all stared blankly at the "Yingbin Building" with strange expressions.

Even though it is wrapped in a protective net, the building has shown characteristics that are not like the buildings on Earth.

How should I put it, that shape is not what it should be on Earth.

——In fact, it is the same, the designers are very wicked.

When Chuci asked them to design the spaceport, they not only honestly restored part of the ancient city on the blue star, but also used the elements of the moon palace, but when they built the entrance of the Buzhou Hotel corresponding to the "South Tianmen" on the blue star , but adopted elements of the spaceport.

Yes, this building is built with reference to the default shape of the spaceport given by the Bureau of Exploration.

The architectural style comes from Empire of Stars.

The empire entered the universe very early. Because of the resource supply of a galaxy, the architectural style of the stars is known for being gorgeous but not practical. Even the spaceport is dazzling, and you can tell that it is from the stars at a glance.

Although because of the expansion of the Star Empire, this style of spaceport has become the most common spaceport template in Interstellar, and people in Interstellar are almost tired of seeing it, but for the Blue Stars, it is a very novel style.

For example, the appearance, considering the height of Buzhou Hotel, the height of the Yingbin Building is not high, but it gives people the impression of "tall" and "tower". The shape is different from the tower on the Blue Star, which is unique and beautiful , People will be stunned when they see it.

At least Wan Shuangyi and the others were stunned.

They looked forward in a daze, wondering how the building of this shape was built.

The driver didn't rush either.

Recently, there have been a lot of guests going to the Buzhou Hotel, which has almost become a special tourist route. However, since the Buzhou Hotel started to build the gatehouse, the speed of the construction on that day is amazing, but after the building is formed, watching the shocked expressions of the guests , It has become one of the joys of the driver.

"I kind of believe in the technical power of this holographic hotel." Wan Shuangyi finally murmured.

Without holographic technology, the shape of this building is very sci-fi!

It's a pity that the Yingbin building has not been completely completed, and several guests could only look around for a while before entering the Buzhou Hotel.

The scene in the cloud inside shocked Wan Shuangyi again.

Now he began to doubt whether the "holographic technology" he saw abroad was the same thing as the one in Buzhou Hotel.

At this time, Cao Mingjie received a call and rushed down from the second floor.

Cao Mingjie greeted the people he was familiar with, and then said to Wan Shuangyi: "Teacher Wan, I have been admiring you for a long time."

"Jiu Yang." Wan Shuangyi said dazedly, staring at the clouds outside in a daze.

For those who come to Buzhou Hotel for the first time, this is a normal reaction, and the locals all look at each other and smile.

Someone deliberately asked: "Mr. Cao, do you mind if we take a look at your new 'ecological box'?"

"Of course." Cao Mingjie smiled.

When he uploaded the photo to Moments, he confirmed it with Chu Ci.

Chu Ci doesn't mind the publicity in this regard.

Rather, Boss Chu is eager to catch a few more fish, so the more visitors in this area, the better, so he gave Cao Mingjie permission to bring friends into his "studio".

However, Cao Mingjie was surprised by the visit of Wan Shuangyi and others.

He originally planned to make a diary of the cultivation of the pool, recording his work process from the first day of blank landscaping, but he did not expect that within a week, a colleague would come to visit.

Fortunately, his progress is faster than expected, and he has already achieved quite a lot.

Cao Mingjie smiled as the host: "Everyone has worked hard all the way. Now that we are all here, don't worry, let's go to the restaurant first—"

"what!"

Wan Shuangyi suddenly exclaimed.

Not only him, other passengers in the hotel also shouted: "The cloud whale! The cloud whale has appeared!"

Sure enough, a blue whale gracefully appeared in the sea of ​​clouds in the distance, but it didn't intend to fly up, nor did it intend to approach the hotel. It just swung its tail and dived under the clouds again.

Those who have been to the hotel before put down their phones reluctantly: "So you can see cloud whales on the first floor?"

"Of course, you can see it from all parts of the hotel," Cao Mingjie said. Although he has only been in the hotel for a few days, he seems to be an old employee. One piece, so you can only see the cloud whale when it floats up. You are lucky, you can see it as soon as you come!"

Everyone loves the idea of ​​good luck.

After seeing the "holographic technology" of Buzhou Hotel, Wan Shuangyi suddenly reacted.

"The hologram here can be so realistic, can't even the ecological tank be completely realistic?" Wan Shuangyi asked impatiently: "Mr. Cao, let's go and see your tank first?"

"It is indeed realistic. The growth performance of various creatures is very similar to reality," Cao Mingjie said proudly, "But we can finish eating first—"

"Look at the tank first!" Wan Shuangyi insisted, he didn't care about anything, "Can it simulate the growth of organisms? It's amazing!"

"Then what, it can also simulate real physical rules!"

A passing architect "muttered" loudly.

Wan Shuangyi didn't blame the other party, but became even more excited:

"Really? Even the environment is completely simulated? Isn't that very real?"

His request was agreed by others: "That's right, the meal can be eaten later, let's go and see your results first."

"That's right, Mr. Cao, you can't afford this meal."

"We can eat after watching."

Cao Mingjie had no choice but to smile and take them to the "studio" on the second floor.

The entrance of the "studio" is different from the place Cao Mingjie entered last time.

After opening a door, there is an ordinary dressing room, and the so-called dressing is to put on a rather delicate wristband—if you don’t like it, you can hang it around your neck—and then go to the dressing room. Go out through the corridor on the other side of the locker room.

When passing through the corridor, the beads on the bracelet will glow, enveloping the whole person.

And on the other side of the corridor, open the door again, and you will be at the bottom of the water!

People stepped on the sand and saw aquatic plants swaying between the algae-covered rocks, and schools of fish and shrimp swimming past.

But as far as human beings feel, except that the light is greener, the body is lighter, and the body feels a little cold, there is not much difference from usual, and they don't even feel like they are in the water.

"Here, this is my 'tank'," Cao Mingjie introduced. "Because this is the first time I have made this kind of tank, it is basically a grass tank, simulating the environment of an ordinary pond, mainly aquatic plants and fish."

Everyone was not in the mood to listen to him, and they were all attracted by the school of fish swimming past them.

Someone tried to touch those fish, and they could actually touch them!

Like a real fish, it's a bit slippery and sticky. I don't know if it's because it's in the water. It's so strong. Before the other party can grab it, it throws off the shackles of stupid humans and whips the other party with its tail. a slap.

But such "braves" are rare.

The others are all civilized. After watching the school of fish at close range curiously, they feel that this scene is too dreamy.

"Is this really in the water?"

I think it's in the water.

The gentleman who was slapped by the fish covered his face and thought in pain.

"Holographic, the setting is like this." Cao Mingjie said: "If you don't believe it, you can come up and take a look."

As he said so, he kicked his legs lightly, as if his body had lost the restraint of gravity, he swam upwards.

Cao Mingjie was obviously used to this posture these days, and even waved to the people below.

It was Wan Shuangyi who had more courage to try. He also kicked his legs and felt himself floating up gently. It was indeed similar to being in the water. He could feel the resistance and the feeling of being supported by the water.

Wan Shuangyi is good at swimming and has a diving license, but she quickly mastered this method of action, happily swinging her body "in the water", wondering what kind of "holographic technology" can simulate this step.

The other gentlemen are not so good.

There are a few who can't swim, flopping like frogs at the bottom of the water, and one who can't let go, can't even kick his legs, practicing squats underwater.

Cao Mingjie and Wan Shuangyi gave them a funny look, swam down again, pulled these people back, and swam towards the surface of the water.

Because it is a "pond", it is not deep, so a group of people quickly reached the surface of the water.

On the surface of the water is the blank space that Chu Ci brought Cao Mingjie into, but the pool in the middle is surrounded by stones, which looks like an ordinary pool.

"It's really water!"

Someone exclaimed.

They stood by the edge of the pond, and when they reached out to touch it, they could feel the texture of the water, but when they raised their hands, their skin was not wet.

"Actually, you can observe not only from the water, but also from the outside. That is more common, like an aquarium."

Cao Mingjie said so, and led everyone to the edge of the blank scene. There was a staircase at that position. Going down from there, you would stand at the same level as the water tank and watch the scene inside.

"You call this normal?" someone questioned.

"It's very ordinary. It's not as good as an aquarium. It's just a very ordinary pond scenery," Cao Mingjie said. "Although I worked hard to create the scenery, the boss requires all local materials, and it's a bit troublesome to purchase, so it's just Just try it out."

This is called "simple"?

Everyone felt powerless to complain.

But Wan Shuangyi agreed with Cao Mingjie's opinion.

Judging from the aquarium landscaping, the aquatic plants, algae, fish and shrimp used are actually very good for feeding. If Wan Shuangyi is given such a large aquarium, he can also build it, even more delicate and beautiful.

But people only build ocean view tanks, not grass tanks, just because it doesn't make sense financially.

——Some people visit the aquarium, but you will definitely not visit the mandarin fish tank. If you want to visit, you can go to the aquatic product market.

"Isn't it a holographic game? Why do you want to buy it?" Wan Shuangyi asked strangely.

"The little boss said to 'record'," Cao Mingjie said, "it is to record the specific data of the materials used, so that they can be displayed exactly the same in the holographic scene."

"Can any creature do it?"

"Theoretically yes!"

Cao Mingjie didn't hide anything, he directly called out the holographic screen and showed Wan Shuangyi his purchase list.

After reading it carefully, Wan Shuangyi rubbed his chin and looked into the water tank: "After entering, can I adjust the size of the creature inside?"

"No, most of them have to be cultivated from seeds and fry," Cao Mingjie said. "It's just a 'game', so it can accelerate growth."

"accelerate?"

"Yes, there are 'energy' and 'nutrient solution' settings in the game settings, as well as a 'biological derivation simulation system'," Cao Mingjie said, "after adding new creatures, you can simulate what they will look like after a period of time."

The interest in Wan Shuangyi's expression increased: "Can I go in and take a look?"

Cao Mingjie didn't care.

Seeing that Wan Shuangyi carefully felt the texture of various materials in the "underwater" this time, he finally asked Cao Mingjie: "Can you let me meet the owner of this store?"

"I can provide royalties! Please let me play this game too!"

Wan Shuangyi asked.

His eagerness to "take my money away quickly" made Chu Ci look at Cao Mingjie involuntarily.

Cao Mingjie had a premonition when Wan Shuangyi looked at the purchase list, and he shrugged at Chu Ci, expressing that there was nothing he could do about this person.

——Even Cao Mingjie kind of hoped that Wan Shuangyi could become his colleague, and wanted to see what scenery he could raise.

Chu Ci sighed, and looked at Wan Shuangyi: "Mr. Wan, this is not a game—"

"Indeed!" Wan Shuangyi said seriously, "If the environment can be completely simulated, then it would be too wasteful just to play the game!"

"However, it's not a complete simulation—" Chu Ci dragged his voice and said, "For example, the water flow, temperature, and environment are actually uncontrollable. Although it is possible to input sediment, or a biological simulation of its growth condition, but It is impossible to simulate the environment of an area, after all, it is impossible for us to collect the environment for simulation!"

——To be precise, it is also possible to simulate. Interstellar has this kind of black technology, but it is not necessary for Chuci.

His star has the environment of this star, so it is impossible to simulate the blue star, and there is no need to simulate the blue star.

"That's it!" Wan Shuangyi showed a slightly disappointed expression, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was only natural. He immediately cheered up and said, "It's amazing to be able to simulate the growth of living things—"

"That's not just any creature," Chu Ci interrupted the other party politely, "I think Mr. Cao should have shown it to you, and the entry of each creature requires hundreds of catties or thousands of catties of the same creature to make. samples, we can only simulate the most common and even overpopulated organisms."

Chu Ci added: "Of course, how to simulate is my business secret."

Wan Shuangyi expressed his understanding.

They are ecological tanks, and they cannot raise protected species.

"So, can you simulate the ocean environment?" Wan Shuangyi asked nervously.

That's all he cares about.

"Yes." Chu Ci nodded, but before Wan Shuangyi was happy, he heard him say again, "However, it may not be possible for the time being."

"why?!"

"Because Lintian City is not close to the sea, it is impossible to collect a large amount of marine life without the conditions." Chu Ci said.

Wan Shuangyi's eyes lit up: "I can! I can provide all the materials I need!"

"Teacher Wan, did you listen to me carefully?" Chu Ci sighed, "The entry requirements are very strict. For example, if you want to raise a fish, I am afraid that you need to give me a hundred catties of fish to complete the entry-in addition, simple Adult fish are also not good, because the growth process needs to be simulated, and it must be fry, and other algae must also be seeds, which is better, and the input will take longer!"

Isn't that more economical?

It's not easy being a fish!

If it's just fish fry, Wanshuangyi has several channels to buy them.

Wan Shuangyi nodded firmly: "I can! I can pay royalties! I can input materials! Please let me join!"

Teacher Wan is really a very active adult.

He gave Chu Ci the phone numbers of several marine breeding companies that day, allowing him to purchase the goods freely, as long as he asks him for reimbursement. Of course, if Chu Ci finds it troublesome, he can also contact him personally to transport it to Lintian. city.

Chu Ci was very grateful for such a teacher, and immediately opened an ocean simulation room for him, and he could build it as he pleased.

But when the "game" really started, Teacher Wan became serious. He first checked the water temperature and salt content, and then began to mutter and design the scene he wanted.

In contrast, Cao Mingjie's other friends were not so crazy, they only asked Chu Ci about when the "holographic game of underwater farming" would start.

Chu Ci was very generous to them, saying that the "game" had already begun.

It's just that the materials that can be provided in the game are limited and can only be selected from existing materials.

There is also a warning that all items built in this game are owned by the Hotel, and if players give up, their creations will also be disposed of by the Hotel.

Moreover, the "storage capacity" of holographic games is very limited. If they fail to breed, or cause loss of control, or cause data incompatibility, they will be permanently deleted.

Everyone is an adult who has dealt with the goose factory for so many years, so how can they care about the overlord clause?

Immediately, two people who lived close together decided to join the breeding team.

Others can only cast envious eyes because of the distance, and some people are planning to stay in a hotel for a few days, do a preliminary test for their aquarium, and then go back to raise the tank, which automatically contributes to extract value.

After a wave of harvest, Chu Ci walked out of the conference room contentedly.

"Another new project?" Seeing his appearance, Yu Xi, who was resting while watching TV in the lounge, asked, "Do you want to add it to the service list?"

"No need, this is only for professionals to play, so don't bother our server." Chu Ci said.

His answer made all the "professionals" smile happily.

Yu Xi nodded and continued watching TV.

Chu Ci also glanced at it, then frowned: "This is..."

"Earthquake!" Yu Xi said, "Fortunately, it's not in our country, it seems to be the bottom of the North Pole."
