This Game Is Too Realistic

VM is an abbreviation.

Its full name is "Vital Signs Monitor" and it is standard equipment in almost all shelters.

But this was the first time Chu Guang saw it.

In fact, the function of this thing is far more than just "vital signs monitoring", but more like a wrist-mounted computer that integrates some functions of physical examination, positioning, communication, map and black box.

As if worried that Chu Guang wouldn't be able to use it, the system thoughtfully provided an instruction manual and presented it to him in the form of a light blue pop-up window.

【

1. Monitor the wearer's vital signs and activities, collect information including heart rate, respiration, blood pressure, blood oxygen concentration, hormones in sweat, DNA form, etc., conduct a comprehensive analysis of the collected information, and present it in the form of specific data.

2. After detecting the disappearance of the wearer's life activities, VM will automatically archive the "dying recording" in the cached data, and continue to send encrypted signals containing relative distance and orientation information through the transmitter in the chip to facilitate recovery by search and rescue personnel. .

3. VM equipment can intermittently emit lasers of specific frequencies within a certain range to perform three-dimensional mapping of indoor spaces. The maximum mapping radius is 5, which will be attenuated by the influence of air humidity and dust particles. This function is very useful when exploring a building. Large obstacles such as walls, doors, and boxes can be marked, and the data can be shared after uploading.

4. The power of VM is provided by a thermal battery, which can be charged under light conditions or near a fire or other heat source. Under low battery conditions, it can slowly charge by absorbing the heat naturally emitted by the wearer, and automatically switches to energy-saving mode. Run equipment with minimum power.

】

In addition to the common functions mentioned in the manual, Chu Guang also learned through Xiaoqi that in principle, all VM devices can be recompiled through a compiler.

In other words, if the hardware itself allows it, by adding a few "very easy to use" plug-ins to these VMs, Chu Guang will be able to know where each player is, what they are doing, and even hear what they are saying. Something happened.

"Here I go, this thing is a bit strong!"

No.

It's simply too strong!

Chu Guangyuan called it the "Emperor's Happy Watch"!

When the time comes, everyone has one hand, and no one is allowed to pick it for me!

No, wait...

Chu Guang, who was excited for a few seconds, quickly calmed down.

If you think about it carefully, if you force players to tie a mobile phone to their arm, wouldn't it seem like you are forcing them to do something?

Everyone has a rebellious mentality.

And free stuff is never appreciated.

Looking at the VM in his hand, Chu Guang touched his chin and said thoughtfully.

"To be honest, this wrist-mounted computer...can't be cheaper than a lousy gun from a predator, right? I think it costs at least 30 silver a piece."

Xiaoqi raised the camera.

"But Master, I heard that this kind of VM is very common in shelters? And considering the convenience of maintenance and durability, the technical content is actually not very high..."

Chu Guang: "Well, it's better to buy it for 40 silver coins, and you need to reach the citizen level to buy it."

Xiaoqi: "...Master?"

Chu Guang looked back at Xiao Qi who was standing next to him.

"Xiaoqi, do me a favor. I want to add some functions to these VMs. Can you do it?"

Xiaoqi was obviously stunned for a moment.

"...Yes, it can be done. As long as the hardware conditions permit, it can be done. But what specific functions do you want to add to it?"

"Properties panel! Taskbar! Map! Chat window!"

Without these things, is it still called a game?

Many players have complained about the fact that you can only check your level and experience when you are offline. You cannot open the character interface at any time to check your level, experience, abnormal status and buff effects. What is the difference between this and the garbage game "Earth OL"?

Another drawback is the mission system.

Although it is no longer written on wooden boards and plastic boards, but replaced by paper on wooden boards, the essence has not changed. It is still too troublesome to check the completion progress of the task.

And the most important thing is that it’s such a waste of paper!

This is not environmentally friendly.

As for the map function, it’s an unexpected surprise.

Chu Guang also didn't expect that this VM would be so impressive, and it would also be equipped with laser mapping. In the future, players would use it to scavenge, which would be equivalent to exploring maps for shelters.

Moreover, it is clear at a glance where things have been searched and where they have not been searched. Hidden spaces and secret passages that are easily overlooked can also be exposed more easily, and the efficiency of scavenging has been more than doubled!

The most important thing is that allowing players to automatically upload maps also saves Chu Guang a considerable amount of his own workload.

In the past, map exploration relied on players’ physical reconnaissance.

For example, a player who is doing a scavenging mission goes to a certain place on the pre-war map, and after coming back, he orally describes to the manager what the situation is like there now.

What needs to be described here, including but not limited to, what changes have occurred in the terrain? Are there many alien species? Are there any signs of human activity or anything like that?

This job sounds easy, but in practice it is a torture. A hundred mouths can tell a hundred different versions.

Some people had a very poor sense of direction, and they simply went to a place other than the one indicated on the map, but what they said was so serious that Chu Guang felt his head spin.

Now that I have VM, I no longer have to listen to these idiots dictating the road conditions in the wasteland. Just bring the VM back and upload it. You can also synchronize the explored map data to the official website database.

This work does not even require the players to take the initiative themselves.

Chu Guang directly asked Xiao Qi to automatically operate it for them.

"The property panel, mission system, and map are all easy to talk about...but the chat window is a bit difficult. Although the VM has a transmitter, it is not a dedicated communication chip. There is no problem in sending and receiving text messages and updating the mission panel near the shelter, but It’s a bit troublesome if it’s a little further away.”

That's it.

Chu Guang touched his chin, thought for a moment and said.

"There's no rush for the chat function for now. Let's develop the three functions of attribute panel, tasks, and map first. I'll find some templates for you to use later."

The function is not perfect, and it was only developed to make the netizens complain. It is better to wait until it is perfected in the future. Besides, there is now a "square" and an "official website", which is enough for those players to brag about.

"Good master!"

Looking at the energetic Xiao Qi, Chu Guang nodded with satisfaction and turned back to the B1 floor.

It's now three o'clock in the morning in the wasteland, and it's three o'clock in the afternoon in the real world, which is when the number of players in the game is at its lowest.

It’s also the best time to update!

Walking to the computer in the residents' hall and sitting down, Chu Guang yawned, took out his small notebook from the drawer, opened it, and then opened the text document for collecting materials.

Everything is ready, just ctrlv and c.

Chu Guang moved his fingers and a smile appeared on his face.

It’s time to do the planning work!

…

This update has a lot of content.

Instead of bragging to the players and explaining it in detail, Chu Guang was always worried that the players would think that his plan was not working.

Still the same old rules.

After posting the update announcement, Chu Guang immediately posted the edited developer log.

"Developer Diary: alpha0.5 version"

Guang: "Hello everyone, I am your dear planner! After squeezing out 5 engineers from the technical team, our server finally changed from potato to potato! Now it can accommodate 200 players to enter the server at the same time. Are you happy? Are you excited? Go check your backstage mailbox! Applause is dedicated to the European emperors!"

"The biggest change in this version update is mainly the attribute panel that was the most requested by the previous closed beta players! The mission panel! And - the extra map function! Are you happy?"

"I'm as happy as you! Under the temptation of baked potatoes, the programmers in the development department finally understood what functions we wanted."

"Of course, please don't get too happy yet. For the sake of player gaming experience and game authenticity, we finally made the decision after five consecutive department meetings for five days and nights to integrate this part of the function into In a special prop called 'Vital Signs Monitor (VM)'."

"After players reach the citizen level, they only need to pay 40 silver coins to purchase this prop. Due to the particularity of the setting of this prop, each player is limited to holding one, and it is bound to the account and cannot be untied or transferred. If your teammate is unfortunately killed, please remember to recover his VM, otherwise the shelter can only deduct 10 silver coins from his account for the reward of the 'Equipment Recovery' task."

"As long as it is in the shelter or near the nursing home, the VM can connect to the shelter's server and complete the task reception operation."

“In addition to the taskbar, the core function of VM is the attribute panel! Through a small screen, you can easily check the development progress of the gene sequence, character attributes, gain or debuff effects, as well as contribution points and status level. "

"Of course, there is no need to show your contribution at all. VM itself is a symbol of identity and strength! Because in our setting, only 'citizens' who have made outstanding contributions to the refuge are worthy of this An honor. And having it will also mean that you are no longer a rookie from now on, but a warrior who is truly qualified to venture into the wasteland!"

"In addition, the laser mapping function carried by the VM can accurately capture obstacles and walls at close range for you, and upload the map data to the shelter server. Even if you are a roadie, you can find your way home. , your mother no longer has to worry about you getting lost in the wasteland!"

Click to upload.

Done!

Chu Guang stretched, pushed away the chair and stood up.

Staying up late for two consecutive days until almost dawn was a bit too much for him even if his body was made of iron.

This time he planned to sleep until noon and try to adjust his schedule.

Thinking of this, Chu Guang looked at Xiao Qi squatting in the corner.

"Xiaoqi, when the time comes, don't forget to wake up Xia Yan."

"Okay, Master."

After explaining the last thing, Chu Guang went back to the next room to sleep in a happy mood.

And just when Chu Guang was sleeping soundly, the discussion about the "Alpha 0.5 version" on the official website was almost unstoppable!
