This game is awesome

At this moment, Xiao Xia clicked on the second promotional video of "Stars".

Father Xia was also intrigued by Xiao Xia's question and looked at his phone screen curiously.

In the video, there is no vast starry sky, nor any tragic and miserable journey, but instead a prosperous scene in the city.

There are tall buildings standing side by side, and hovercrafts are busy and orderly speeding along the roads in the sky.

A giant display screen was embedded on the towering corporate building, on which was playing an advertisement for some exotic gemstone.

A soothing and gentle voice sounded, as soft as a mother telling a bedtime story to comfort her child.

"They call this planet, Union."

“Changing the name to Discord is more in line with reality.”

The advertisement on the giant display screen flashed by, and then turned into a solemn and dignified hall. A man with oriental appearance and wearing strange and heavy religious ceremonial clothing occupied most of the screen and seemed to be preaching something.

The people on the street raised their arms and seemed to be cheering.

Xiao Xia actually recognized this person, he appeared in the last promotional video, and he seemed to be the captain of a spaceship. But the name of the planet is quite interesting.

Xiao Xia feels that the developers must have referred to the "United Spacecraft" that was just launched in reality.

Listening to the narration in the background and these people whose clothing and architecture were similar to those on Earth, Xiao Xia was thoughtful.

So, they have arrived at their destination?

This kind of fragmented description is half-concealed, and usually people would be scolded as a riddler, but it really pokes fun at Xiao Xia's XP.

Father Xia was also stunned by the video and asked, "Are these the descendants of the group of people you just mentioned who left the Earth in a spaceship? Have they found a habitable planet?"

Xiao Xia was completely shocked.

"How did you guess that? Dad, have you seen the trailer for this game?"

Father Xia smiled proudly, "Don't you see how good I am! When you asked me just now, I knew that this video must have a preface."

Xiao Xia still didn't believe it, "How do you know they are from Earth and not aliens?"

"You kid are testing me? Putting aside that oriental look, take a look at that ad first. Isn't it the ad for the silver jewelry store chain your mom kept talking about when she passed by a few days ago? Although the format is slightly different, the content is basically the same..."

After Father Xia finished speaking, he was also curious, "You just said this is a promotional video for this year's new movie? Why is it a bit animated?"

Xia Jueming also noticed it. Just now he was thinking in his heart that Fanxing was a really interesting company and they used so many different tricks to make a promotional video.

This promo is slightly different from the first one.

The first trailer is very realistic, while the second one has a bit of an animated feel.

It's not that Gu Qingshi wants to have a diverse style, it's mainly because

——Fanxing is out of money. The first promotional video had all kinds of advanced special effects, which were completely realistic, and she spent a full 12 million.

Xia Jueming opened the first video again and showed it to his father, explaining, "It's not a movie. It should be a new game that will be released this year. It's called Stellaris. Eh? The name is similar to the name of this game studio!"

Father Xia took a look and saw the word "Fanxing" written next to the name of the video author, and he was stunned.

Chapter 186 [Your product is from Yiwu, right? ]

"Stars?"

Father Xia was shocked.

Isn't this the game company that their department was discussing years ago! ?

Xia Donghai is a researcher at the Oriental United Aerospace Technology Group. As the name suggests, this state-owned enterprise has a close relationship with the Space Administration.

In fact, this is indeed the case. A bunch of research institutes under Donghang Aerospace serve the Space Administration, and Xia Donghai's research institute is one of them.

The Space Administration finally agreed to authorize Tianxin. Such a big event was naturally talked about by a group of partners of East Aerospace.

The Space Administration is a stingy company that has rejected dozens of "high-quality companies" before!

Until Xia Donghai used the almighty search engine to check, hey! What do you think?

This is actually a gaming company.

At that time, the people at Eastern Aerospace were stunned. Among the dozens of companies ahead, there were leaders in the real world and emerging companies at the forefront of high-tech development. But the space agency actually gave the license to a... gaming company?

Isn't this a pure loss-making business?

What else can you choose? Any of the dozens of companies, especially those in traditional industries, should be able to make better use of Tianxin's strong AI technology to bring greater returns.

As a result, the space agency treated Tianxin as a family heirloom. Not only did it not use Tianxin in traditional industries, but it licensed it to a game company.

At that time, Xia Donghai speculated that it was because there was a policy from above that wanted to advance slowly and step by step, protect the current economic structure, and minimize the social unrest caused by the rapid popularization of strong AI technology.

As for the stars, they are just a bonus.

Even if strong AI is adopted in this entertainment industry, it will not have much impact - at least it will not put thousands of people out of work.

Seeing the stars again at this time, Xia Donghai suddenly understood and even agreed with the choice of the Space Agency.

Apart from anything else, Fanxing is really helping with promotion!

A sci-fi game with a cosmic background, a costly promotional video, and a story full of scientific romance. Isn't this game custom-made for the space agency?

Xia Jueming didn't have so many thoughts. He just felt:

This game is so cool!

There are games with the theme of Starry Sky on the market, but Xia Jueming doesn't like them very much.

The vast majority of games on the market that are directly related to the "universe" are impure space operas.

Why is it impure? Because most of these games only have opera, not space.

Xia Jueming had played a foreign sci-fi masterpiece that claimed to "build a second universe" before, but the spaceship in this game was just a decoration in space! Most of the game plots take place on the surface. In order to avoid the boring space travel, the developer even thoughtfully allows players to skip the long voyage and jump to the destination with one click...

What's even more outrageous is that it claims to be a science fiction masterpiece, but in fact it is a fantasy adventure. Upon closer inspection, wow, it's a space road movie.

As for space strategy games... they are too unpopular. RTS games in this world have never been popular, and ordinary strategy games have no soil to survive. In the market environment of the past few years, when Red Alert came out, they would have to kneel down and beg the masters for a 30%-70% profit split.

What kind of game does Fanxing want to make Stellaris?

This made Xia Jueming even more curious and worried.

No way, market, this isn't going to be another fantasy work copying science fiction, is it?

"Isn't this just a scam?"

Gu Qingzhi was typing away on the keyboard, and a guy with the title "The world's number one lover of poetry" on the chat interface was sending a long string of text.

She had just received a notice from the school teacher, explaining that Gu Qingshi was about to team up with her to participate in the Binary Award team competition, as well as the cause of this matter and the significance behind it.

After receiving the news, Gu Qingzhi was a little confused.

It's true that it's great to compete with idols, but...are we serious that there are only two of us?

Gu Qingzhi had no choice but to accept the school's notice. She took out her little notebook and began to curse the culprit - Zhou Fulin!

If this guy hadn't tried to extort money from Shibao, Shibao wouldn't have had to go to the competition with her!

This damn professor of scamming people has not learned even one percent of Brother Xun's essence of scamming people and finding faults. It's totally disgusting.

Although Gu Qingzhi was quite upset about Brother Xun's frequent swearing, and also had some complaints about Brother Xun fighting with pigs for love, shooting people in the butt with a slingshot, and happily buying a big bag of sweet biscuits to take home after seeing the dentist for toothache, she still respected Brother Xun very much.

But she really couldn't respect Zhou Fulin at all.

It's a bit despicable to use entertainment industry tricks in the academic circle.

Classmate Gu Qingzhi has not experienced the various dangers of the world, and does not understand why Zhou Fulin would take the risk of committing fraud.

Gu Qingzhi sent an Emperor Penguin message to "The World's Most Afraid of Dou Lu Shi Bao".

"Senior, is it enough for just the two of us?"

"Don't worry, have some tea first. You're just a clown. If you work hard, you can at least get second place in the country."

Gu Qingshi wasn't too worried about this.

He is just an unknown professor, but he suddenly appeared and jumped into the limelight for no reason. It's really bold of him.

If Gu Qingshi hadn't happened to be on the phone with Professor Jiang, she might have just laughed it off.

But there are so many coincidences in the world.

Good and evil will be rewarded in the end, and the righteous path in the world is just vicissitudes.

Compared to this, let's take a look at the parents in Africa! Congo is so beautiful, isn't this a wild man with bared teeth?

Gu Qingshi was talking on a video call with her father with a resentful look on her face.

The video signal over there was not very good, and the picture was intermittent. I didn't know what was going on and I thought I was communicating with aliens.

"Why don't you come back this year? Am I your biological child or not..."

Gu Qingshi pointed at Gu's father.

Father Gu was sitting next to the eight-immortals table, wearing a Tang suit. He was in his forties but still had black hair and looked quite healthy.

Seeing Gu Qingshi complaining, Gu's father slapped his head and said, "That's definitely not the case! Didn't your mother tell you? Before you were three years old, you were still..."

"What nonsense are you talking about with Qingshi, old man?"

A slipper flew straight over and hit Gu's father on the head. Gu's mother appeared in the photo with a noble lady's temperament. With her slanted chestnut ponytail and cold temperament, it was obvious that Gu Qingci must be his biological son.

Mother Gu pulled Father Gu out of the camera, and only the sound was heard.

"I'm not talking nonsense, oh, Madam, spare me!"

"You dare to say that?"

"I just thought Qingshi wasn't a child anymore, so it wouldn't be a big deal if we kept it hidden..."

Gu Qingshi pretended not to hear anything. She had known about this since she was very young, and she understood it even better now. After all, it was well known that the protagonist was usually an orphan.

She didn't want to say more. When Father Gu, who was holding his waist and gasping for breath, appeared on camera, she asked, "Are you coming back this year?"
