Chapter 158

It has been more than a month since the release of Empire technology's online game star.

The domestic sales volume is about 280000 copies.

To be honest, this number has satisfied Wang Huan and imperial technology.

These 280000 players are playing under great pressure of public opinion, because in this environment, people playing Empire technology games may be called traitors.

Among these 280000 copies, there may be tens of thousands of copies, not real players, but schools.

That's weird.

It's just that the movie may be chartered by the school. Does the game have school underwriting?

Is it a forced apportionment?

Not really. This is because a professor of astronomy at a top university is also a game fan of imperial technology. He bought and downloaded StarCraft for the first time.

Then he was shocked.

For several days, he didn't really play games, but explored various planets.

I'm really crazy.

In particular, several planets in the solar system have done too well and are too realistic.

Of course, this is just a game after all. It is impossible to completely restore the landform of the whole planet.

But it's amazing enough.

First of all, when you look down from the air and fly at high altitude, the appearance of several planets in the solar system is very consistent with all the existing data.

Geographical characteristics, weather characteristics, etc. of several planets.

But when you land on a planet, it will also give you a very detailed and complete map.

This map has mountains, rivers, etc.

It is also automatically generated by AI, but it is very consistent with the data characteristics of these planets.

Therefore, this game has caused an unprecedented sensation in the small circle of astronomy department.

spread from mouth to mouth.

Almost the whole astronomical circle has downloaded this game.

Then he forgot to eat and sleep and indulged in it almost all day.

God knows how hungry these lovers of astronomy are.

Now in 2012, the BBC Documentary about the solar system, the miracle of the solar system, has been released.

Countless astronomy lovers have looked at it over and over again.

At first, I was extremely satisfied, but gradually I became very dissatisfied.

Not high definition, not detailed enough, relevant information is still not enough.

Of course, in 2019, if it is still the planet produced by BBC, there will be ultra-high definition, and the production pictures of each planet in it will be much more refined.

Moreover, there are already a large number of CG and simulation pictures of several planetary surfaces, which are no less than movie pictures.

But it's not enough.

After all, it's just a documentary. You can only watch videos.

However, now this game "StarCraft", you can really explore it.

And it's Ultra HD.

Almost more than hundreds of astronomers find fault in the game.

Of course, this is a very friendly challenge.

This process has triggered a huge debate.

An astronomer found a mistake in the game and discussed it in a small circle.

After a heated debate, we finally came to a conclusion.

They were wrong. They were right in the star game.

many a time.

In the end, all astronomers were conquered.

Of course, it is correct, because three hundred years later, several planets in the solar system have long been studied.

Countless pictures, countless videos.

There are even trips to Mars and so on.

Of course, many of them are confidential. Therefore, imperial technology plays games selectively, and many important data and important models are not disclosed.

But it's enough to shock all astronomers.

Astronomers and astronomy lovers all over the world have one.

Then, all astronomy departments of universities all over the world have to buy this game, and all students have one copy.

After buying the game, these people don't enter the plot, but are obsessed with exploration.

Moreover, basically all the time and energy in the early stage were focused on several major planets in the solar system.

Many middle schools and even primary schools around the world are teaching astronomy.

They also directly quote the game screen of StarCraft.

Obviously, he plays games and has become a textbook.

This sounds like another world.

After Notre Dame was burned, Ubisoft said that we are willing to provide detailed data for the restoration of Notre Dame.

Because in the game of Assassin's Creed revolution, Notre Dame de Paris is completely reproduced.

Ubisoft make complaints about games, especially assassin creed series, formulaic, repetitive, plot without soul, etc.

However, in terms of landscape and architecture, Ubisoft game is at the textbook level.

France in the great revolution, Greece in the Odyssey and the game scenery can be specially visited.

Of course, Empire Tech's star is much more awesome.

Because it restores the solar system.

As for the Milky Way galaxy, we have no information. We don't know what it looks like at all. It's completely speculation.

Therefore, I don't know whether the description in StarCraft is right or wrong.

But... Super shocking.

Super amazing.

Because there will even be black hole scenes in this game.

Of course, it requires the development of civilization to a high level before we can explore black holes.

Domestic players, except astronomers.

Next, there are fans of the game and fans of doomsday.

After these people bought the game, they were also shocked.

After sightseeing for several days, a small number of people left because they were really not interested in the game content.

But most people still insist on completing the plot of the single machine part.

Then, they also understand why they want to sell 299 game ontology.

Because even as a stand-alone game, it is also very shocking and amazing.

And the stand-alone part is to let you understand the story background of the game and related technology.

Only after you are familiar with the background and settings can you really enter the part of online games.

And just a stand-alone plot has a full process of 50 or 60 hours.

Therefore, even selling 299 as a stand-alone game has been very conscientious.

After playing the stand-alone game and entering the online game part.

Many players can't carry it and retreat from the pit.

Because... It's too difficult.

The data is too hard core.

In particular, the development of Starfleet really needs to colonize planets and exploit resources.

Moreover, the relevant colonies really need to arrange strong defense and make a large number of robots.

There are also drawings of various warships and the construction of interstellar Arsenal.

It's so unfriendly.

Moreover, he is not friendly to the lone ranger, because it is really difficult to develop a strong fleet on his own.

In short, it is difficult.

The threshold is very high.

Some game enthusiasts have worked very hard, but... It's still difficult.

Finally, I have to give up.

But those who really like this game are completely infatuated.

I can't believe there is such a game that can be so similar.

A group of highly educated talents, or not highly educated, but fanatical science fiction lovers, fanatical astronomy lovers.

Obsessively groping in the game.

First the lone ranger, then several friends, and finally the whole circle.

Alliance.

Build power.

Colonies, city states, kingdoms, empires

As long as the strength is strong enough, everything is OK.

Run for president in the game, or be king and Emperor.

Of course

This is very later.

At the beginning of the game, it was destined to be a big fight.

However, many people will soon find that war is not a good choice in the game, even a very cost-effective choice.

Alliance, trade is the better choice.

At the beginning of the game, many people were in high spirits and wanted to fight a national war.

Chinese players and American players are going to have star wars.

Later, most found that they thought too much.

Because it's very, very far away.

You can't even find out which planets American players are on. Even if you know, your fleet can't go anywhere.

Unless the technology tree develops to a certain level, you can find your enemy and lock your enemy.

For a real interstellar expedition.

At the beginning, we'd better peck each other.

………………

"The star game is so awesome. Should we take the initiative to publicize and pull more people in?"

"Don't... don't. other games are players choosing games, while" Star "is entirely a game choosing players. They don't have enough ability and knowledge. They also suffer when they come in to play."

"Yes, yes, yes, in case there are a large number of kings in the star game and meet the names of forces such as love around the corner, it will be too embarrassing."

Gradually, the players of the star game formed a closed circle.

This circle is full of superiority, as if they were standing at the top of the pyramid of the game.

Speaking of other online games, his face showed a smile rather than a smile.

How do you describe this posture? I want to despise you, but my self-restraint does not allow me to do so.

And this circle has gradually developed from game to reality.

Three months later!

Star has sold 390000 copies in China, but only 100000 people really pay monthly recharge.

At present, these 100000 people are the hardcore players of StarCraft in China.

This game has caused a sensation abroad, even far more than doomsday.

The major game media around the world once again scored full marks.

The last time I gave full marks, the major game editors were full of initiative.

And this time I gave full marks. I was completely trembling.

Because most game editors don't understand the universe and astronomy.

But the world's deadly astronomers are saying that the restoration of the solar system by this game has reached an extremely terrible level.

It has even been used as an electronic textbook by the Astronomy Department of many top universities in the world.

In fact, there are many game editors, some of whom can't play, especially when it comes to online games.

Quite a few people can't really stick to it.

But... Everyone thinks that it's not the game that's not good enough, but my ability.

I don't understand. I don't dare ask.

Close your eyes and give full marks.

Domestic players also carefully set up their own small circle to carefully reflect their sense of superiority.

In foreign players, it's completely naked.

The core players of Starcraft have made no secret of listing the chain of disdain.

Especially in the top universities of science and engineering, if you don't play star, you are not outdated, but ignorant.

This feeling is like Sheldon seizing the opportunity to laugh that Howard is not a doctor in the big bang for life.

Even if Howard later became an astronaut, he would still be ridiculed by Sheldon.

At every party, this group of Xueba talked about other online games, that kind of disdain and that kind of contempt.

Give Sheldon a disdainful face.

A few months after the release of star, global sales finally reached 20 million.

This data also completely frightened Wang Huan and imperial technology.

How could it be so high?

This is a very high threshold game. This is a very unfriendly game.

Even the stand-alone part, although very wonderful, is not very friendly.

It's an absolute niche game.

How could there be such a high sales volume? This sales volume can enter the top few in the world.

Later, relevant reports came out.

Part of the reason why sales are so high is the fan effect of doomsday.

Countless fans of the doomsday game, after playing this game, became extremely enthusiastic and obsessed, and then entered hunger and thirst.

Because there is no game to meet them on the market.

Although the dream engine of imperial technology is used, it will take at least a year or two for the new game to appear on the market.

The picture of "doomsday" game is so lifelike and shocking. Playing other games is completely dull and unattractive.

At this time, star appeared, which is also the of imperial technology, and has a more shocking picture.

Coupled with the global game media, it is almost crazy to boast.

Even higher than the praise of doomsday, an absolute masterpiece.

As a result, countless players have entered the pit.

But... The game is too small after all.

After many players buy it, they really go sightseeing in the solar system.

Many players have forcibly completed the content of the stand-alone part. It feels like they have been taught 100 math and physics classes.

To the part of online games, I really can't carry it.

Finally, only more than two million monthly users have stabilized.

Among these monthly users, there are many players, which are of the sightseeing type.

Some are leisure players. There are many such players. They develop civilization, do not manufacture interstellar Arsenal, let alone build interstellar fleet.

After discovering a planet, they began farming.

Just build houses inside, the city, and gardens.

I don't deal with people and turn the "Star" online game into a family.

Besides, there are too many planets here.

Even if a planet is found, the player can only occupy a very small area if he tries hard to cover it.

Then

Inexplicably, there are more monthly users.

A large number of leisure players poured in and built cities in the game.

And for the safety of their cities, they choose to take their cities offline, that is, only store them on their computers.

Then, we will invite some friends to visit each other.

And most of these leisure players are girls.

Facing this situation, imperial technology was a little stunned.

This... This

Mingming is a magnificent Star Wars game. You play it like my world.

What's more strange is that such leisure players and players developing interstellar civilization do not interfere with each other, just like they are not in the same game.

Because leisure players take their cities offline and basically join the space trade.

Well, they can't join the space trade, because their civilization level is so low that they don't even have the qualification to join the space trade.

Then, imperial technology watched the global monthly subscription users rise from 2 million to 3 million, to 4 million and 5 million?

The number of casual players began to exceed that of hard core players.

Those hard core players are very sad and feel that their sense of superiority has been deprived by a group of leisure players who don't know anything.

You... Just you

Such a silly white sweet girl even came to play such a hard core star. You don't even know what the gravitational acceleration is, do you?

***

Then imperial technology was stunned and found that after the game star sold for $2 billion, the monthly fee also exceeded more than $200 million.

Foreign monthly, 50 dollars a month.

You just spend $50 playing my world in it?

……………………

"Wang Huan, how many domestic players are there in StarCraft? I'm talking about hard core players?" Han Qiu asked.

She was also in high spirits, building houses and gardens in the game.

"Barely 100000," Wang Huan said.

Han Qiu said, "what about America?"

Wang Huan said, "half a million."

Han Qiu said, "is there such a big gap?"

Wang Huan said, "yes."

Han Qiu said, "won't China suffer a lot when there is a national war in the future?"

That is inevitable. It is not even transferred by the will of imperial science and technology.

Although in the game, the player power of China and the United States is still far away.

But one day, the colonial planets of both sides will collide.

In the future, there will be an interstellar war.

Wang Huan has seen relevant data. The overall strength of American players is much stronger.

Chinese players will suffer a lot in the future star wars.

"What about that?" Han Qiu said, "will you change the data in the background and let Chinese players win?"

Wang Huan said, "it's impossible for them to feel the real interstellar war."

Han Qiu said, "if this goes on, Chinese players will never win."

Wang Huan said, "in the future, the situation may change."

Han Qiu said, "change a fart. Chinese players open treasure boxes in junk online games. They scold star junk games for circling money on the Internet and scold you for not dying well."

Then, she was a little worried and said, "will your company have any problems recently? It's all going on outside. Your company will be punished and the doomsday game will be completely taken off the shelf."

………………

Recently, imperial technology has indeed encountered great storms and troubles.

First, the blacklist.

Blacklist millions of people and publish them.

Many leaders don't like it.

At a very high-level meeting, a high-level leader criticized imperial science and technology by name.

To say that a blacklist is to create opposition and social contradictions.

Therefore, the relevant departments directly ordered imperial technology to cancel the blacklist.

Deadline for implementation.

Then, the "doomsday" game triggered a bloody storm.

A famous junior high school student fought with people in a black Internet cafe and cut people with a knife.

Three people were killed and five injured in the gang fight.

Therefore, it caused huge waves.

In a TV interview, the murderer's mother said that the child's father played doomsday every day.

The game is extremely bloody and violent.

The child watched his father play games every day, so he became so cruel.

Next, in the TV picture, there are a lot of pictures in the game of doomsday.

After all, this is the end of the world. The world environment is very bad. Of course, it is full of violent conflicts.

Of course the picture will be bloody.

Many TV stations, even newspapers, list these violent and bloody pictures separately.

In an instant, it stimulated countless parents.

Countless members of society.

During this time, countless people shouted to fight and kill.

Many experts, professors and people have written to relevant departments to ban the game.

However, in fact, after relevant investigation.

The children were playing a free online game in the black Internet cafe, and were equipped with explosive equipment in the game, causing hatred, and then quarreled in reality.

The battle shifted from online to offline.

That's the tragedy.

Although afterwards, some media reported the relevant truth.

But it's useless. The first popular version is that the child took a knife to cut people because the picture inside was too bloody when he watched his father play the game of doomsday.

For a while.

Public opinion surged.

"Completely block the doomsday game!"

"The doomsday game is a big poisonous herb, which persecutes the growth of teenagers."

"This bloody game should not be listed at all, and the responsibilities of relevant departments should be investigated."

"We don't know how this game passed the audit. It's hard to say that there is no power and money transaction."

However

This game is clearly written in the most prominent place. It is an 18 + game.

Minors are not allowed to play.

Moreover, imperial technology banned the game for teenagers under the age of 18.

But in China, you say grading is completely useless.

In China, there are only two levels without grading.,

One level, student.

One level, dead!

……………………

Imperial technology has ushered in two working groups. The officials leading the team are not low-level.

Both working groups have brought ultimatums.

"Mr. Wang Huan, this blacklist must be cancelled within three days, otherwise we will severely punish imperial technology!"

"Mr. Wang Huan, the game doomsday must be completely deleted. All the pictures about violence and blood in it must be deleted. Otherwise, we will ban the game and punish imperial technology."

………………

Note: second, I'll give you a monthly ticket. Please give me some!
