As soon as Lin You sat down in the office, he received an unexpected phone call.

"Missing Person" Liang Tian suddenly contacted him.

Lin You thought for a moment, when was the last time this person contacted him.

This can't be blamed for him not paying attention to his employees. Ever since Liang Tian took leave a month ago to return to his hometown and launch a second attack on his former dream, he has almost lost contact with him.

He had no choice but to return to his hometown to start a business for the second time in a sense. He opened a game experience store for himself instead of opening a branch for Yunmeng.

Naturally, there is no reason to report work in Yunmeng's office software.

"Hello??" Lin You answered the phone.

"Boss, I'm sorry!" Liang Tian opened his mouth to apologize.

"Ah?" Lin You was confused by Liang Tian, ​​"Why are you sorry for me?"

"My game experience store is open."

"Isn't that a good thing?" Lin You was very surprised, "Do you think that now that your dream has come true, you don't want to come back?"

"No, of course not." Liang Tian quickly expressed his position, "I am very willing to work in Yunmeng! I have no idea of ​​leaving at all!"

"Then what are you apologizing for?"

"My experience store, Mirage's tour price is higher than that of the experience store." Liang Tian said with guilt in his tone.

"Because the store has all the consoles from handheld consoles, arcade machines, home game consoles, VR, to mirages. During the previous trial operation, one-size-fits-all time charging has been proven to be unfeasible, and the customer disputes are very big."

"But if different hosts are charged separately, the store has a lot of equipment, the floor space is not small, and the operation pressure is very high. Mirage cannot pay 10 yuan an hour like the experience store. Otherwise, VR equipment that is even more backward than Mirage will not be available at all. The qualification costs more than 30 yuan an hour, not to mention the next generation of gaming equipment that is even more backward than VR equipment. The pricing controversy is really too big."

"In order to keep the store open, I can only set the price of Mirage to 45 yuan an hour."

As the general manager of Yunmeng Experience Store, Liang Tian knew very well that Lin You set the price to an astonishingly low level, with the intention of benefiting more people.

But he really couldn't bear the price, and the store wouldn't be able to open at all.

Lin You comforted Liang Tian: "You can decide for yourself about your store. Don't worry about the price of Yunmeng Experience Store."

He knows very well that morality and ideals can only be used to restrain himself.

If you use this thing to restrain others, you are just being too full and meddling in other people's own business.

So he just does what he thinks is right, but he doesn't ask others to be the same as him.

After all, he also knew that he only received an unexpected gift, which gave him the qualification to be willful.

"Don't be burdened, come on!" Lin You comforted Liang Tian and hung up the phone.

At the same time, he wanted to try out whether he could play VR games in the virtual world.

And because of Liang Tian's call, he couldn't help but think: "Maybe we can move all other game equipment into the virtual world?"

In that case, Liang Tian's experience store only needs to install one piece of equipment, Mirage, and customers can play all kinds of games.

The charging problem is solved directly.

Of course, Liang Tian's store is only the smallest impact. The more critical impact is: this seems to be an opportunity, an opportunity to create a unified gaming platform across the country, and even the world.

After all, if you want to build a unified platform, you must at least break down the barriers between different devices, right?

And Yunmeng's technology seems to be able to do it.

But Lin You thought about it and found that it seemed a bit difficult——

If you just replicate the hardware of handheld consoles, mobile phones, computers, home game consoles, and even VR devices in the virtual world, it would not be difficult, it could even be said to be simple.

But it is a bit difficult to get these hardware to run real-world games and software.

The hardware used by the Mirage 2.0 host is nothing more than mature products on the market, and its performance does not far exceed that of its peers.

In terms of performance alone, it is on par with the latest generation VR consoles from NetDragon, FeiFox, and Desert Island.

It is only because the construction technology of the virtual world is advanced enough and the player's brain is also involved that the mirage seems to have no limit.

But Lin You knows very well that mirages have their limits.

If the entire Night City is converted into a format that can be run by a VR host, and the most advanced Feilong III is used to download it, then the host of the VR device simply cannot store it.

Even if you desperately upgrade the storage and delete the details of Night City, it will be paralyzed at the moment of operation.

But when the positions of the two are reversed, the difference is no longer obvious——

If you use Mirage to store the main body of "Fire 3", you can only store dozens of copies at most. If you really want to run it, it is impossible to even open it dually.

Because Mirage needs to simulate the running environment of VR games first, and then use the simulated "virtual VR host" to run the game.

It's a bit like building a computer in "Minecraft" and then using it to play Snake.

The amount of computing power required to play Snake directly on your computer is completely different.

This is why, when players connect to the Internet in the virtual world, they need to jump through the personal panel, and cannot just find a computer in the game and connect directly to the external Internet.

As for directly cooperating with game companies, allowing them to use virtual reality construction technology and technical methods that are compatible with the virtual world to develop games for other devices that can run directly in the virtual world without any pressure, or even reset old games?

Lin You just gave up after thinking about it for a moment.

Because this involves the underlying technology of virtual world construction, it is very difficult!

——The few times Lin You played games with Xiao Meng in the virtual world, they were all after Lin You bought the game, gave the game to Xiao Meng to crack, and then Xiao Meng completed the reset in the virtual world.

Otherwise, let him do it by himself, he is not willing to waste that time at all.

Even now among Yunmeng's employees, Qin Songyun may be the only one who can do it, and it also takes a lot of time.

Most Yunmeng employees still use the simplified version of the development tools provided by Lin You.

Subsequent learning and improvement will mostly focus on this set of development tools and figuring out how to make this tool more efficient and easier to use.

Therefore, instead of teaching people how to start from scratch and learn the underlying technology, it is faster and simpler to let them directly develop a "virtual reality upgraded version" of the game.

Besides, if you have this energy, why not use it to train your own employees?

Of course, having said that, Lin You is also someone who knows how to live a good life.

If the deluxe version is not available for the time being, we can go to the beggar’s version (cross out) the youth version first!

If the game cannot be run directly, then I put the device aside and connect the wireless board.

Then connect the mirage and the device together, and use the mirage to control the console to play games. Wouldn't that be enough?

In this way, the original device is still used to run the game, and the mirage only plays an "input" and "output" role, which is equivalent to replacing the keyboard, controller, omnidirectional treadmill, and terminal display.

What's this?

This is cloud gaming!

The technical difficulty is greatly reduced!

Lin You immediately began to think about this technology, what hardware equipment and software authorization is needed, and whether he needs to go to the console manufacturer or game manufacturer to obtain authorization and discuss cooperation.

He was really interested in this.

But soon, Xiaomeng interrupted his musings: "Master, NetDragon has sent out a preview of the actual device!"

"Coming, coming." Lin You shook his head, intending to go and see Net Dragon's movements first.

As for using Mirage to play VR games?
Chapter completed!
