The virtual empire starts from the game

Chapter 230: I made dumplings just for this vinegar (asking for monthly tickets)

Let’s go back in time a little.

When the wave of layoffs caused by the de-diversification trend swept across European and American industries, companies in Xiaguo also caught up in the fun.

On the day when Duhuo Studio confirmed its dissolution, Kashima Games notified all employees of the closure and dissolution.

I didn’t even wait until the next day before Sony Games announced that they had blacklisted me.

At this point, the three game companies that were publicly named by Xu Meng due to the "Frost and Snow Project second review storm" have all closed down.

This completely confirmed Xu Meng’s notorious reputation as the “industry’s dark light”.

I don’t know if it’s a coincidence or Fei Zhiyuan wants to reduce the impact.

Konjac Games also carried out large-scale layoffs on this day.

The remake plan of "Mirror World" was completely shelved, the project team was disbanded, and except for a small number of core personnel and key talents who were transferred to other positions, the rest were all dismissed.

All of a sudden, a large number of developers in the gaming industry lost their jobs both at home and abroad.

It was like a tsunami.

Dreamers, with bulging wallets and eager for talent, also took this opportunity to take action!
In this wave of unemployment, various extreme rainbow people and boxing enthusiasts have indeed suffered heavy losses and have lost their jobs.

But there are too many layoffs and bankruptcies, and many normal people are also affected.

These skilled workers who have sufficient development experience and are not interested in gender issues are the most desired talents for Dream Building.

Build a dream human resources department, act quickly, and recruit talents from all over the world!

"Mirror World Story" is very simple.

There were already employees who had resigned from the "Mirror World Story" project in the "Lord of War" project team. With a simple matchmaking, they were able to bring together most of the reliable and normal people in the project team.

Overseas is a bit more troublesome.

But after Xu Meng agreed to set up an overseas studio, things quickly went smoothly.

——When the global economic situation is very tense, it is really hard to refuse an olive branch from a super rich and technologically powerful company like DreamWorks.

In order to cope with the increasing number of employees, Zhumeng once again made a big investment and bought an office building located on the edge of Jinghu Lake.

Also thanks to the downturn in the real estate market and the bankruptcy of many companies, buying a house not only doesn't require much effort, but you can even get a 20% discount.

——Of course, it is 80% off the price three years ago.

Chen Peng, the undercover agent who was "exiled" as soon as he entered Dream Building, also returned to Dream Building at this time.

He finally finished his last few visits to veterans and returned to the South before December.

But before he had the chance to meet the acquaintance who had switched jobs from Konjac, he was pressed down on the shiny marble floor by two security guards as soon as he stepped into the company's door.

Chen Peng fell heavily to the ground, with his left cheek touching the cold marble floor.

I felt severe pain all over my body and my face was filled with confusion.

It was not until he was dragged into the small dark room that he realized that it might be Xu Meng who called the police.

But the actual situation is much more serious than this.

The person who held him down was from the Xia State Security Bureau.

And all this was due to a conversation Xu Meng had at the Shenyang National Laboratory for Materials Science.
-
That day, after Xu Meng released the SBI-related connections and interest networks, he stopped talking.

I was just enjoying the feast, silently admiring the explosion of this big firework that had been brewing for a long time.

Until a group of experimental monkeys were temporarily coordinated from elsewhere.

Three cynomolgus monkeys and two rhesus monkeys were sent to the laboratory.

Xu Mengcai closed the computer reluctantly and turned his attention back to the new substances whose safety urgently needed to be determined.

"Which one should I send first?" Xu Meng asked.

The middle-aged researcher who came with the monkeys flipped through the folder in his hand and pointed at one of the rhesus monkeys.

"Let him come first. I just gave him a physical examination this morning."

So the confused monkey was sent into the isolation room through the airtight door.

A second tube of composition is injected into the observation chamber.

——The previous ones are no longer valid.

A group of people stood in front of the glass observation window, staring at the rhesus monkey in silence.

The monkey had been in the cage for too long and suddenly came to the spacious observation room, where it excitedly ran and jumped around.

He was active for a while before settling down.

There didn't seem to be any discomfort.

But Xu Meng did not speak, but looked at the researcher.

The middle-aged researcher shook his head slightly. "We have to wait for a while. It would be best if we could give it some more exercise."

After saying that, he looked at the monkey in the observation room and tried to knock on the window, hoping that the monkey would move.

"How about letting the white tiger come out to scare the monkey?" Xu Meng asked Yin Zhiyuan.

Yin Zhiyuan shook his head firmly.

Xu Meng sighed and had no choice but to sit there bored, watching a group of people operating the robotic arm in the observation room to amuse the monkey.

After nearly an hour of hesitation, the monkey was finally pulled out and given a comprehensive physical examination by a researcher wearing a full set of isolation suits.

The nasal cavity, oral cavity, blood and lungs are examined particularly carefully.

While waiting, a crab-eating macaque was also sent in.

Then came the second rhesus monkey…

……

The entire verification process was much more complicated than Xu Meng had imagined.

——He thought he could just send one monkey in and see if it was fine when it came out. But he didn't expect it to be one after another.

Different varieties and different times need to be tested.

Even after the inspection, you still need to wait long enough to see the results.

Xu Meng was extremely bored and continued to surf the Internet.

He is also the only person in the entire laboratory who can connect to the external network.

——After the results came out, everyone in the laboratory who had been exposed to this experiment was cut off from any information from the outside world.

By the time Xu Meng had enjoyed his melon-eating pleasure and was finally allowed to enter the observation room, it was already the afternoon of the next day.

For his safety, someone had already gone in before him.

Xu Meng was a little disappointed, but still put on the tactile gloves, connected the computer, and walked in.

As soon as he passed through the airlock door, he saw a little pink-haired guy standing inside, rushing towards him with open arms to hug him.

Unfortunately, I came in a hurry and only brought a pair of tactile gloves.

Xu Meng raised her hand and rubbed the little guy's pink head, feeling a subtle sense of trance.

——He had seen Xiao Meng many times in the VR world before, and it was certainly not the first time he touched her head.

But the feeling of seeing each other through VR glasses is very different from seeing each other with the naked eye without any obstruction like now!
Even without wearing the somatosensory synchronization suit, the sense of reality is much higher!

"Hello, Xiao Meng."

"Hey, hello, master!" Xiao Meng stood on tiptoes happily, and her soft ears trembled slightly.

……

Outside the observation room, a group of people widened their eyes again.

It’s not because they saw Xiao Meng.

——In fact, they saw nothing.

I didn’t see Xiao Meng or Xu Meng.

From their perspective, Xu Meng suddenly disappeared into thin air after stepping into the observation room.

The entire observation room was empty, with nothing in it.

Fortunately, the person in charge reacted quickly. He ran to the control console to take a look at the thermal imaging and successfully captured Xu Meng's position, then stopped Yin Zhiyuan from rushing in and causing trouble.

People outside can't see what Xu Meng is doing.

Xu Meng didn't know what people outside were thinking.

He only knew that after he walked out of the observation room, Yin Zhiyuan asked him seriously, "Are you sure you want to make this technology public and use it in the gaming field?"

"Yes, what's wrong?" Xu Meng asked back.

“Do you know what this technology can be used for?”

Without waiting for Xu Meng to answer, Yin Zhiyuan listed a series of military uses, "Optically invisible ghost troops, artillery positions that drones can't catch, fake military bases... too many amazing uses!"

"Stop, stop, stop." Xu Meng quickly raised her hand to stop him. "I know, I know. You can use it. I didn't say you can't use it."

"What I mean is..." Yin Zhiyuan paused, "Is it possible not to make this technology public and make it a secret weapon?"

“The state will compensate you.”

Xu Meng looked at Yin Zhiyuan and sighed, "But I made dumplings just for this dish of vinegar!"

"Besides, hasn't our country always been trying to avoid war as much as possible? Once this technology is brought out, other countries will see: Wow! This technology is brought out for civilian use, the military must have more powerful technology! Then won't they dare to provoke us even more?"

"Conquer the enemy without fighting!"

"Besides, if this technology is used for civilian purposes, how much economic benefit can it create? This is not just about making money - you know, I don't like money now. Many people and many companies will benefit from it."

"You should also be aware of the impact of technological development on productivity and the economy, right?"

"Anyway, we have both the medium synthesis method and the holographic image translation algorithm in our hands, and the technology will not be leaked."

Yin Zhiyuan was speechless after hearing what Xu Meng said.

He is a soldier and to be honest, he doesn't care too much about the economy.

When seeing a powerful technology, the first thing that comes to mind is to use it in the military.

But with the birth of this new technology, Xu Meng's importance is no longer what it used to be.

If it is just a somatosensory synchronization service, the country will certainly protect and value it.

But when coupled with this "true holographic display" technology that can deceive vision - and after achieving such an amazing technological breakthrough with miraculous efficiency in such a short period of time, he is already a humanoid national treasure!

No, it’s more precious than the national treasure!

The giant panda won’t make you something that can turn you invisible!

"I will report your opinion to my superiors." Yin Zhiyuan sighed, "But some of the old leaders in the army are more war-minded and may not be happy - of course, it won't really affect your decision, so don't take it to heart when the time comes."

Not all members of the special operations team are from the military, and Yin Zhiyuan's superiors cannot forbid Xu Meng from putting the technology to civilian use.

Xu Meng shook his head: "Change the content of your report."

"What?" Yin Zhiyuan was stunned.

"Just say that I have a new idea, one that is more powerful than the holographic display device. Well... not necessarily."

At this point, Xu Meng was a little uncertain, "He is definitely better in the gaming and medical fields, but it's hard to say in the military field..."

After a brief thought, he said, "Anyway, just say that it is a technology as powerful as the holographic display device. This technology can pull a group of people into the same dream, and after waking up, they will clearly remember everything that happened in the dream."

"If you agree to let me commercialize the holographic display device, I will also develop this technology and license it to you for free. How about that?"

In the entire observation room, everyone seemed to be busy with their own things, but in fact everyone was paying attention to the conversation between Xu Meng and Yin Zhiyuan.

As a result, they were completely unprepared and suddenly heard Xu Meng's words, and they were all stunned in surprise.

So much so that the originally busy observation room suddenly became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop!
