Chapter 1,291 Space-Themed Online Games

On the third day after returning to the living world, the good news from the colony made Jiang Chen's brows rise slightly.

According to the report sent back by Captain Hong Zewei, the colonial governor, the Halo Marines, with the assistance of new weapons, successfully regained the operating base near Mine No. 071. The "Digger Warrior" armored drilling vehicle jointly designed by Future Military and Future Heavy Industries has played a miraculous role in combating Martian species.

And those T-4H powered armors have directly increased the survival rate of the Halo Marines by a level.

With the "Digger Warriors" opening the way in front and heavily armored infantry following behind, Company A, which was responsible for attacking the 071 mine site, continuously broke through six Martian species nests within twenty-four hours. Five of the lairs belong to the Corruptors, while the one outside the radius of the deepest ultrasonic fence belongs to the Devil Bug. A total of tens of thousands of adult Corruptors and thousands of Devil Bugs were killed, and the Halo Marines successfully advanced the control area from the surface to 21 kilometers underground.

According to the report sent back by Hong Zewei, they are now very close to the bottom of the ruins.

When the engineering team to reinforce the tunnel completes the construction, it will be the moment when the ruins of the Gaia civilization will be revealed again.

…

Villa on the northern tip of Koro Island.

Jiang Chen, who was passing by the living room, asked casually while looking at Lilith who was leaning on the recliner and wearing a phantom helmet.

"Can even advanced artificial intelligence experience fun from games?"

Because she is not a normal human being, Lilith can sense information from the outside world even if she is wearing a phantom helmet. In her words, she can use one memory area to run the game and another memory area to control her body, while being in the virtual world and the real world at the same time.

I have to say, this is a very enviable ability.

"You don't understand," Lilith replied expressionlessly to Jiang Chen's question, "What's fun is not the game, but the players who participate in the game."

Hear this. Jiang Chen's eyebrows jumped.

This guy, is this where the fun lies?

He was curious about how interesting the players in the game were to Lilith.

But when you think about it, it's probably not a good thing. It's probably no different from a lab rat. After all, to her, troublesome creatures like humans seemed to only play some role in contributing experimental data.

Very contradictory thoughts.

On the one hand, he longs to have a body to integrate into human society, and on the other hand, he maintains the reserve of advanced artificial intelligence. Perhaps this perceptual contradiction is also part of the attributes of advanced artificial intelligence.

"Don't just play around. Since you have so much free time, come and do something for me." Jiang Chen said casually.

"Correct your statement," Lilith said expressionlessly, "In the past seventy-two hours, I have helped you process 117.8gb of files, which is equivalent to your workload for a month under normal circumstances. Whether it is from No matter how you analyze it, my attitude can be called diligent. In contrast, you who seem to be just talking about it are more leisurely."

"Uh, are there that many?"

Being complained by Lilith, Jiang Chen touched his nose in embarrassment.

"I haven't counted the workload of upgrading the server for you." Lilith said rationally, "In order to prevent you from forgetting, I have to remind you. This is your war, not my war."

"……you're right."

Lilith sat up from the recliner and looked in Jiang Chen's direction.

"So, tell me, what are you going to ask me to do?"

"Eh?" Jiang Chen looked at her blankly.

"I didn't say I wouldn't help you," Lilith shrugged and said seriously, "I just corrected your accusation that I am idle."

"..."

Well, when a program learns to think, it's really a troublesome thing.

After sorting out the words in his mind, Jiang Chen coughed lightly and spoke.

"Futureman Technology is currently planning a large-scale space-themed VR online game. The main selling points are probably space colonization, starships, trade, mining, technology tree unlocking, etc. The current development progress is close to 50%, and the latest progress is Completed the import of astronomical data provided by the Star Halo Trade and Space Department. How about it, are you interested in developing games?"

Designing a large-scale VR online game with a space theme as the background has been discussed and implemented as early as last year.

In addition to catering to current hot topics, this large-scale VR online game also has a certain political purpose.

For example, promoting the current space colonialism of the Star Ring Trade, igniting grassroots people's enthusiasm for the aerospace industry, improving the tactical theory of starship operations in the virtual environment, etc. These political purposes will not be clearly written on the slogan, but will be subtly integrated into the design concept of the game.

Of course, for artificial intelligence, it may be a bit difficult for her to design a game that the people like from beginning to end. But after the game planning plan has been completed, it is more than enough for her to solve the procedural problems.

"I can't say I'm interested. But from your description, it should be easy for me." Lilith, wearing a helmet, said expressionlessly.

"Then I'll leave it to you." Jiang Chen said immediately, "When will it be ready?"

From his standpoint, he naturally hopes that the game will be online as soon as possible.

"It depends on the workload." Lilith said, "It can take a week or a day or two. If you can ask your people to write the game design plan in as much detail as possible, it can alleviate a lot of my work. quantity."

"Don't worry about this, we have the best game planning team in the world." Jiang Chen said with a smile, "At the latest the day after tomorrow, my people will be able to sort out all the information and hand it over to Xia Shiyu to arrange the handover. matters."

Lilith nodded, indicating that she understood.

After explaining this matter, Jiang Chen no longer had any reason to stay here.

After looking at the time on his watch, he thought that there were a few things to deal with in a while, so he walked towards the entrance.

Looking at Jiang Chen who turned around and walked towards the door, Lilith, who was sitting on the recliner, suddenly asked.

"Are you planning to go out?"

"I still have two meetings waiting for me in the afternoon." Jiang Chen looked at the time on his watch and said, "I have to go to the group building in a while, so you can stay here and look after the house."

"I will go with you."

Lilith jumped down from the lounge chair, put her little feet into slippers, and patted her slightly wrinkled dress.

Looking at the internet-addicted girl who had no intention of taking off her helmet, Jiang Chen couldn't help but sweat.

"Is it okay for you to just go out with your helmet on?"

Lilith asked in response to Jiang Chen's question.

"Any questions?"

Although it was full of problems from every angle, Jiang Chen decided not to continue complaining about her.

It's getting late, it's time to set off.
