“At the same time as the new VR gaming pod was being developed, a new VR game was also being developed.”
“Chen Mo wasn’t too worried about the development of the new game, since the framework was still the same, but the way the players entered the virtual world was different.”
“In fact, most of the previous VR games could be upgraded to the next generation of VR games, but there would be a lot of minor adjustments to be made. After all, this kind of neural connection actually increased the difficulty of the game, and the player’s uncontrollable behavior would also increase exponentially. These problems would have to be considered when remaking.”
“For example, if he wanted to make Dark Souls into a next-gen VR game, it was not enough to just change the way of consciousness access. He would face two problems.”
“First, the player might really have to roll in the mud, and if he didn’t roll properly, he would be cut. This was much more suffocating than the original action that could be done with just a thought.”
“Second, players can easily climb up the steps that are knee-high, and they can even climb up some slopes that are half the height of a person. Then wouldn’t my level design be completely messed up?”
“When the players were given a high degree of freedom, it meant that the game had to have more complex rules and designs to avoid the various problems brought about by this high degree of freedom, and these still required a lot of work.”
“Therefore, there was no need to rush the migration of these games.”
“Detroit become a human was an interactive movie game. The controls in the game were relatively simple, and the players could get used to it. After the game was released, he would see the players ‘reactions before deciding on the future development plan.”
……
17th of January.
A brand new VR gaming pod was sent to Thunderbolt Entertainment’s headquarters and moved into Chen Mo’s office.
“The VR gaming pod had been tested by the game Committee and the relevant tech departments for a week. The neurologists and VR professionals confirmed that it was harmless to the human brain, and finally brought it to Chen Mo.”
“During this time, Chen Mo had been to the game Committee quite a few times, giving him a headache.”
“After all, the range of this new VR gaming pod was too wide. Some people admired it, some people coveted it, some people questioned it … All kinds of problems had to be considered.”
“Although it was called a virtual reality game, the VR gaming pod could be used in many fields, such as military, medical, and so on. Whether or not this thing could be used, or how it should be used, was not something the game Committee could decide, it required communication and coordination between many departments.”
“Of course, to Chen Zhao, this was a fight between gods. It had nothing to do with him.”
“Chen Mo had no choice but to use a lot of the intelligence-lowering halos that he had hoarded before, allowing the brand new VR gaming pod to cut through all obstacles and finally be sold on the market.”
Was there any risk to this?
“Chen Mo knew that there was basically no risk to this, just like the technological advancements that the system had made before. But even if others didn’t know, there would definitely be people who were suspicious.”
“However, when something had a bright future and involved enough benefits, it would still be widely promoted even if there were some risks.”
“Things like cigarettes, which were obviously harmful to the human body, had always been well-bought, and had even become the pillar industry in some areas.”
“So, so far, the new VR gaming pod had basically been approved to be sold on the market.”
The only problem was … Could it achieve the desired effect?
A few important people came to Chen Zhao’s office.
“Zhou Jiangping had already arrived at le Hui, and so had Qiao Hua and Zhang Zhongxiang from the game Committee. There were also a few experts in the field of Neurology, as well as some big names in VR technology.”
These people had all come over for …
They were witnessing a historic moment.
“There were even people holding cameras to record the entire process, and there were several cameras.”
This was because Chen Mo had requested to be the first to experience the new VR gaming pod.
“It was normal to find a few volunteers to test it out during the testing phase, but Chen Mo insisted,””””If you want to find a volunteer to test it, sure, but you have to do it after I’ve experienced it.”””
“Zhou Jiangping and Qiao Hua wanted to persuade Chen Mo not to risk his life before confirming its safety, since this new thing was connected to the brain nerves. However, seeing Chen Mo’s determination, they didn’t say anything.”
“In fact, the game committee’s previous tests had already confirmed that this thing was basically harmless to humans, but most people were still a little scared. After all, not everyone had the courage to be the first to try it.”
“Chen Mo smiled at everyone, then sat in the VR gaming pod and lay down.”
“With a click, the door of the game cabin closed.”
“Through the transparent cabin door, everyone could clearly see what was happening inside.”
“After Chen Mo laid down, the top half of the neural interface helmet came down and connected to the bottom of the VR gaming pod. It covered Chen Mo’s entire head, and the indicator light lit up, indicating that he was about to enter the subconscious state.”
“At the same time, the life Protection device was activated. Special restraints fixed Chen Zhao’s chest, waist, arms, wrists, thighs, and ankles. The tightness was just right and wouldn’t cause any injury. Moreover, there was a special groove where Chen Zhao was lying down. The material was moderate and the structure was ergonomic, so he wouldn’t feel tired or sore after lying down for a long time.”
“A part of the life Protection device was specifically used to monitor the player’s vital signs, and the data was transmitted to a display screen outside the game cabin.”
“His vital signs were all normal. His breathing and heartbeat were all stable, which meant that Chen Mo was slowly entering the hypnotism state and preparing to enter the virtual world.”
“The VR gaming pod had two huge screens attached to it, and they were still completely black.”
“However, two minutes later, images appeared on the two screens.”
“One of the screens showed Chen Mo’s first-person view, which was similar to the first-person perspective of the original VR equipment. The other display screen showed a third-person perspective, as if there was a camera shooting from any angle in the virtual world.”
“At the same time, Chen Mo was in a virtual space. All he could see was white.”
“””So, why did you choose this as the test venue? Isn’t a seaside mansion a good choice?”” Chen Mo’s voice came from the speaker outside the cabin.”
“Everyone present was very excited. Zhang Zhongxiang said through the microphone,””””How’s it, Chen Zhao? can you hear me? How do you feel now?”””
“Chen Zhao raised his head and looked around, as if he was looking for the camera in the virtual space and the source of the voice.””””Sure, Chairman Zhang. I feel great. My breathing is steady, my heart is strong, and I feel full of energy … Like an athlete. “””
“””Yes,”” Qiao Hua explained.””The data for the test is from gymnasts. Perhaps you can try to do a one-arm loop in the virtual world.”””
“””Forget it. You guys didn’t prepare a horizontal bar for me.”” Chen Zhao said,””but I think we can try a backflip.”””
Chen Zhao tried to stomp on the ground and lean back.
“Then, he fell to the ground on his back.”
“A neurologist beside him said,””””President Chen, although your physical fitness in the virtual world has reached the standard, your brain doesn’t have the relevant techniques for backflips, nor do you know how to use every muscle.”””
“Chen Zhao got up from the ground and subconsciously patted his butt.””””I know. He should have adjusted the pain setting, right? When I fell on the ground, it felt like I had fallen on cotton. I didn’t feel anything. I feel like I’ll succeed after a dozen more falls. “””
“””So … Can we change the scene? It’s all white here, my eyes are going to be blinded. I want the seaside mansion in the Oasis and my dog. “””
