At the end of the corridor on the first floor of the community center was a large office that had been converted from a conference room. The sound of discussion drifting out from the half-closed door never stopped. It seemed that the people inside were very busy.
Although the reform a while ago caused most departments to be disbanded and reorganized, only this department didn't change.
A sign engraved with words hung crookedly on the door –
Right now, the office that had been converted from a conference room was bustling with activity.
"The mission script is done. Old Zhang, did you finish the text?"
"It's done. Wait a second, I'll send it to you."
"Our team finished the NPC models from C 10087 to C10129. The rest is from here to here. A total of 17 AIs still have to be manually entered. Take a look … "
The conference room was divided into individual offices by more than ten doors. Fifty programmers with heavy eye bags worked hard in front of the holographic computer to further improve the virtual reality MMORPG.
Sitting in front of the holographic computer, Du Yongkang's eyes scanned the lines of code. As the game director, he didn't need to personally write the code like the programmers. He only needed to review the results of the various teams and provide guidance on the general direction of the game development.
The job sounded simple, but it wasn't easy to do. He reviewed the work of fifty people by himself. The bags under his eyes reflected the hard work he put in.
But he didn't dislike the hard work. Rather, he enjoyed it. Before the war, he was only a senior engineer and never held the position of game director. But he didn't expect fate to play a joke on him. This was the position that he had dreamed of, and he actually got it after the war.
He hadn't slept for 24 hours. After he finished reviewing the last line of code, he was about to take a nap when he saw an unexpected person at the door.
Seeing Jiang Chen appear at the door, Du Yongkang's eyes lit up and he immediately got up to greet him.
After some small talk, he got straight to the point.
"Don't be so nervous. I'm just here to take a look. Also, did you finish the server I asked you to debug last time? "
"It's done." Du Yongkang nodded with a smile. The honest programmer didn't know how to flatter people. He just kept putting on a smile on his face.
Although it looked comical, Jiang Chen liked this kind of person who didn't scheme anything.
"Then hurry up and bring me to have a look."
"No problem! Please follow me. "Du Yongkang bowed respectfully and led Jiang Chen to the storage room next door.
The storage room had the style of a programmer. Cardboard boxes were piled up randomly. Looking at the messy decorations, Du Yongkang scratched his head awkwardly.
"It's fine. I don't care how you arrange these things. Just show me the helmet sample."
"Ah, okay, hehe." Du Yongkang smiled embarrassedly as he quickly went to the pile of boxes. He moved away a few boxes filled with discarded documents and dragged out a box with five virtual reality helmets from the back.
Looking at the helmet in the box, Jiang Chen felt an indescribable excitement.
If ships and cannons were the romance of men, then the virtual reality helmet would be the romance of all netizens. Jiang Chen was certain that anyone who read web novels or played MMORPG or standalone games would have fantasized about one day wearing a virtual reality helmet and killing everyone in the 0 and 1 virtual reality MMORPG.
"General?"
"You're not a soldier. Just call me boss."
"Okay, okay boss." Du Yongkang smiled shyly as he scratched the back of his head. "Do you think this is what you want?"
Jiang Chen took out a helmet from the box and carefully examined it.
The black glass surface and the blue and black polyethylene shell made it look like a sleek motorcycle helmet. A scaly "tail" hung from the back of the helmet. The length was similar to the neck. It could be connected to the spinal nerve through microcircuit and used as a port to interfere with the brain.
Jiang Chen weighed it in his hand. The weight was around 1-2kg, slightly heavier than a motorcycle helmet. But it didn't matter. When the helmet was activated, the user would enter a deep sleep state. Not many people would choose to play the game standing up.
"How much molybdenum does one virtual reality helmet consume?" Jiang Chen asked nonchalantly.
"Without considering material loss, around 300 grams," Du Yongkang answered with certainty.
"300 grams?" Jiang Chen rubbed his chin and fell into deep thought.
Therefore, one ton of molybdenum could produce at least 3000 virtual reality helmets. Once he took care of the molybdenum mine, he would be able to mass-produce this thing. Of course, there was no rush. Before the official launch, Jiang Chen planned to find a few volunteers in the modern world to test the game to make it as perfect as possible.
Since this was an era-defining MMORPG, people in the 22nd century and the 21st century had a different cultural acceptance. He didn't want to drag down the quality of the game because of carelessness.
"… To make one hundred samples, the logistics department dismantled a training chamber for us to gather enough molybdenum. Why don't you use the training chamber as the platform for the game? Compared to this kind of antique, the advanced cultivation pods are much better in terms of both performance and comfort. "
[Dismantled the training chamber?
What a waste …] Jiang Chen cursed in his mind but didn't show it on his face.
"Functional? Will it lag when I play with this virtual reality helmet? "
"No, it won't be reflected in a game with simple physics rules." Du Yongkang waved his hand.
"That's good. This fantasy game doesn't need highly realistic physics rules. Don't dismantle the training chamber. I only need these one hundred helmets for now, "Jiang Chen said.
Du Yongkang nodded. Seeing that Jiang Chen didn't change his mind, he didn't say anything else. He only made a suggestion to Jiang Chen. He wasn't going to argue with the boss about right or wrong.
"That's it then. I'll send someone to transport the one hundred helmets and the small server in the corner. Oh, I almost forgot. Did you install the helmet's security mechanism? "Jiang Chen patted his head and asked.
"I did. The dense lead layer can prevent projectile scanning. Also, if someone tries to forcefully dismantle the helmet, the built-in safety circuit will overload and burn all the graphene circuit boards and chips inside the helmet. Anyone who tries to dismantle it will only get a pile of scrap metal … "
[But would anyone really need this antique technology?] Du Yongkang murmured in his mind.
Jiang Chen happily patted him on the shoulder. "Haha, good job. Go find Wang Qin in a bit. All game developers will receive fifty crystals. This is your reward for your hard work! "
"Thank you, boss!" Du Yongkang said excitedly.
Fifty crystals was equivalent to a month's basic salary for a NAC knight.
He no longer had any doubts about the boss's decision.
Who cares? As long as the boss is happy.
