Chapter 34 Start-up Capital
Chapter 34 Start-up Capital
After one hour.
White lights flashed one after another, and 52 figures logged in at the resurrection point in Dizhong Village.
The moment they entered the game, Yang Tianxuan and other members of the weapons research and development department were shocked by the scene before them and could hardly believe that this was a game world.
Due to their profession, they immediately began testing the realism of the world.
Gravity perception test, throwing stones to observe parabolic motion trajectory, smell test, body coordination test... While other players looked at them as fools, they were completely impressed by the realism of this game.
“Boss, the technology of the Eclipse Clan has made another leap forward. They can actually create such a realistic game world.” The white-haired old man standing next to Yang Tianxuan exclaimed.
Yang Tianxuan did not respond after hearing this. The shock in his heart was beyond words.
He had the idea of testing weapon performance in a virtual scene a long time ago.
He had tested the weapon in the virtual game "Villainland" released by the Eclipse Clan five years ago.
But the results were not satisfactory, so I finally chose to give up.
In fact, creating a game that perfectly replicates real-world physics is harder than climbing to the sky.
He carefully analyzed the series of problems that needed to be overcome.
Not to mention how terrifying the server capacity required for this game is, all other aspects of the standards must be absolutely perfect, such as interaction frequency, data processing volume, and even image rendering quality.
Secondly, the virtual world needs to simulate all physical phenomena in the real world, including but not limited to gravity, lighting, materials, sounds, etc. This requires computing capabilities beyond cognition to ensure the accuracy and real-time performance of the physics engine.
In order to achieve perfect realism, every detail in the virtual world must be simulated in detail, including buildings, vegetation, terrain, weather changes, etc. These details will greatly increase the burden on the data processing center.
Secondly, the huge amount of data generated anytime and anywhere in the game needs to be processed and fed back in a very short time, including the information generated by player input.
For example, when a player destroys the environment in the game, the information needs to be collected and the environment needs to be changed in real time.
Taking into account various variables, Yang Tianxuan's conception is almost impossible to create a completely real game, because it is equivalent to creating a brand new world, and the amount of resources required must be 1:1.
In other words, to create a game that perfectly simulates the Earth, it would theoretically require the consumption of resources from an entire Earth.
But everything in front of us cannot be fake. The Eclipse Clan really used some unknown technology to create such a perfect and flawless virtual game.
While lamenting the huge technological gap between the Human Federation and the Eclipse Clan, a flame rose in Yang Tianxuan's heart.
With the help of such a realistic virtual environment, they can give full play to their abilities without having to worry about environmental damage, personal safety, and a series of other troublesome issues.
"Boss, I checked the mall. This game doesn't have any equipment for sale that can support our weapon research and development. We have to start from scratch... But there are spirit stones for sale in the mall. Maybe we can make a batch of psychic firearms first."
Yang Tianxuan heard this and nodded in agreement.
The manufacture of powerful technological weapons requires solving a series of problems such as forging equipment, processing equipment, measurement and calibration tools, etc. Starting from scratch requires going through a tedious process from scratch.
There are not enough resources at this stage and they have no way to get started.
But psionic firearms are different. They are one of the early weapon technologies provided by the Eclipse Clan to humans.
Weapons can be forged by changing the energy path of spiritual ore, and then inlaid with spiritual stones to act as bullet drivers, with spiritual energy compression arrays engraved inside.
After pulling the trigger, the firearm will automatically absorb the energy of the spirit stone and compress it into the shape of a bullet, and then be fired with the push of the internal spiritual energy. After contacting the target, the unstable psychic bullet will instantly explode, causing range explosion damage.
In the early stages of land reclamation, this technology is obviously more practical.
"Then let's make a batch of psychic firearms first." Yang Tianxuan affirmed his subordinate's proposal. At this time, a middle-aged man with a beard in the team asked in confusion:
"Director, the problem is that all items in the mall require sacrifice power to purchase. I searched the function panel of the game but couldn't find the recharge function. Where can we get the starting capital to purchase materials and make psychic firearms?"
Yang Tianxuan: ...
Faced with the problem of lack of start-up capital, Yang Tianxuan fell into deep thought.
"Have you contacted Qin Ye? He entered the game before us. Let's ask him how much sacrifice power he has that we can borrow."
"I just added a friend and asked right away." A middle-aged man in his 30s in the team said, calling up the friend list and trying to connect with Qin Ye.
Not long after, the middle-aged man looked at Yang Tianxuan and said awkwardly:
"He only has 239 points of sacrifice power, which is not enough for us to use as starting capital."
"Then we will purchase the sacrifice power from other players first. We will raise the cost ourselves for the time being and will not submit a funding application."
With the idea in mind, they immediately started to act. Dozens of messages about purchasing Jili appeared in the regional channel, with the purchase ratio being 1:20.
But these messages were quickly drowned out by messages posted by other players, and there were also a few jokes from other players, saying that they were dreaming and that the price they offered was no different from robbing.
This made Yang Tianxuan and other members of the weapons research and development department realize that the purchase price they offered was too low.
They chose to gradually raise prices.
The purchase price gradually increased from 20:1 to 100:1, but still no player was willing to sell the sacrificial power to them.
This made Yang Tianxuan completely confused.
Feeling something was wrong, he immediately contacted Qin Ye who had entered the game earlier.
The answer he got surprised him.
The price of sacrifice power in the game has already increased from 50:1 to 150:1, and not many players are willing to sell their sacrifice power.
There are two main reasons.
First of all, the consumption rate of sacrificial power is much greater than the output rate. The sacrificial power in the hands of players is not enough to improve their own strength, let alone sell it.
Secondly, the price of sacrifice power has continued to increase, and players generally believe that the price of sacrifice power will continue to rise.
The idea of many brick-moving players is to consume sacrificial power to improve their strength first, and then earn more sacrificial power when they are strong enough. The behavior of selling sacrificial power in the early stage will cause their own strength to fail to keep up with the growth rate of other players, resulting in a significant reduction in profits in the later stage.
After understanding the reason from Qin Ye, Yang Tianxuan fell into deep thought.
If the purchase price continues to increase, their wages will not be able to bear such consumption, and the process of applying for funds is too cumbersome and requires time to wait.
Without a recharge channel, and unable to purchase the sacrificial power at a reasonable price, Yang Tianxuan, who had no idea what to do, had to call Qin Ye again:
"Xiao Ye, is there any way to quickly earn sacrifice power?"
"There are three ways to earn sacrifice power at this stage. The first is to go out of Dizhong Village and hunt various types of monsters. The second is to be lucky enough to encounter mining spiritual plants while exploring the world. Compared with the first two methods, I recommend the third method to you."
"What method?" Yang Tianxuan asked immediately.
"Go to the Dark Cave to mine!"
