Otherworldly Architect

Blue Star Studio is really doing preparations for its next project recently.

This point, Ming Yan also revealed to everyone at the Blue Star Carnival press conference, the next project decided to be the "boss" in the list, a game of pet collection and battle + augmented reality (AR) technology.

The game was originally inspired by "The Missing Two Months".

Ming Yan and Xia Cheng once stood on a completely unfamiliar land and caught a magical alien creature that looked like a little dragon.

At that time, Ming Yan suddenly opened his mind, and he was out of control!

After going back, Ming Yan drew a concept map of "Boss".

He also drew a few imaginary little dragons in an arrangement and combination, and asked Xia Cheng by the way: "Is it cute?"

Xia Cheng smiled: "You've always been cute."

Snapped.

Ming Yan flicked his forehead: "Don't interrupt."

Xia Cheng was happy and said: "Everyone wants to raise dragons, but unfortunately most dragon species are monopolized by the Galactic Empire, and the Chaoyang Alliance does not have that condition for the time being. There are elders in my hometown who like it, so I take a planet to collect. There have been many dragon species."

…The world of the rich is beyond imagination.

Ming Yan asked by the way, "How does it feel to raise a dragon?"

Xia Cheng smiled and said: "I used to go there often when I was a child, and my friends also like to see this handsome and mighty beast. However, the breeding environment is also very important. In order to maintain the wildness and arrogance that dragons should be, my The elders are basically stocking, and if you want to visit, you must stand in a specific safe passage-this makes me feel that I am the human being visited by the dragons."

Although neither of the two workaholics have the chance to actually visit that planet, they are already in the interstellar age, and there is no problem in experiencing it through remote communication and AR technology.

Although the super-light channel is also a very expensive technology in the Chaoyang Alliance... but the word "expensive" is as if it does not exist to the Xia family.

Xia Cheng said hello to the elders, and the staff over there were almost ready soon.

Projected through AR technology, the first is a small silver dragon (Western dragon) in its infancy.

The little dragon appears to be only half human height, with powerful forelegs and hind feet, and a slender tail with a dangerous triangular head at the end. It is covered with a layer of beautiful and smooth light blue dragon scales. It is said that the older it grows, the closer it will be to the color of fluid silver, and it will become very beautiful.

It looks like an unweaned child - but it is much braver than a human child. It probes its brain to observe the surrounding instruments, whether it is jumping and making a "cluck" bubble sound in its throat.

It has not yet learned the dragon roar, but is extremely curious about the outside world, and a pair of gray eyes are still looking around.

Xia Cheng folded his arms around his chest, looked at the little guy, and said, "I guess you are afraid that you will be frightened by the size of the dragon, so let's come and sell a small one first."

They are now standing in a blank experience hall - a huge venue that has not been demolished at the Blue Star Carnival. The area is at least the size of a football field.

The secretary next to the little sister just looked at Xiaolong, and her mother's love broke out. She made a sound of "Ouch" and cupped her heart with her hands: "It's so cute~"

Ming Yan nodded in agreement, and by the way: "What will you be like when you grow up?"

An adult silver dragon was projected over there quickly.

It is much more powerful and domineering than the little brat. The entire projection process took a full two minutes to show its full picture in the blank venue.

Compared with the small dragon, the adult dragon has a slender neck, broad wings, strong and powerful muscles, and the beautiful silver dragon scales like moonlight are like alloy armor. The length of the tail alone is enough to circle the entire field.

It had to be entrenched, but the whole demeanor was still rebellious. There were many mottled colors in the light gray eyes, which seemed to contain mysterious magic.

You can't take your eyes off of it at all!

This time, it was Xia Cheng's turn to drool, and no man could refuse such a mighty and beautiful thing.

He said: "This is the perfect combination of power and beauty. The Chaoyang Alliance has discovered tens of thousands of alien creatures so far, but in terms of popularity, I am afraid that so far there is no one comparable to dragons."

Mingyan felt completely understandable and asked, "What is their attitude towards humans?"

Xia Cheng thought about it and said, "I don't know much about it, but it is said that it has a lot to do with dragon species. Dragon species are now mainly divided into color dragon species, metal dragon species, gem dragon species, ancient dragon species, spirit dragon species, Fantasy dragon species... In short, there are quite a few. According to common sense, colors are more evil, metals are more kind, gems and spirit dragons are neutral, and I don't know much about the rest."

Mingyan took notes and asked thoughtfully, "What does fantasy dragon species mean? Has magical power? Is it the strongest one?"

Xia Cheng smiled and said: "It is some dragon species that we have not been able to understand so far. For example, the alliance once discovered a meme dragon, which only exists in the consciousness of intelligent creatures, whenever the latter's consciousness A specific concept came to mind, or it appeared only during a dream. We could only observe it through deep hypnosis, and it was later named 'Dream Eater'."

Ming Yan was a little disappointed and said, "So there is still no magic."

"Magic refers to the general term for the unknown power system. In fact, there are still some." Xia Cheng said, "The ancient dragon species is estimated to directly satisfy your fantasy of the dragon god."

Ming Yan was shocked and said, "Dragon God?"

"Ancient dragon species, many people think it is the kind of dragon without wings, let me show you directly..."

This time, there was no real-time projection, because even Xia Cheng's elders couldn't get an ancient dragon.

Xia Cheng called out a certain page in the encyclopedia and released the freeze-frame 3D projection.

In the stadium, I immediately saw the half body of a black ancient dragon. Its whole body was as slender as a snake, but it had four limbs, each with four claws, antlers on its head, and whiskers on its chin.

It has no dragon wings or wings, but its posture is elegantly residing in mid-air, with flowing beard and hair all over its body, and it has an independent beauty.

Mingyan was greatly shocked and said, "I may know..." Isn't this Dongfanglong! ! !

The things in the universe are nothing more than two dimensions of space and time.

It is said that the ancient dragon species have existed in this universe for tens of thousands of years. They are highly intelligent beings, and there was even an ancient dragon society.

Later, I thought about it clearly and guessed that it might be that the ancient dragon species had visited Blue Star, and it also left a deep impression on the ancestors of Blue Star, and even slowly evolved into a kind of totem.

Xia Cheng continued to introduce: "Generally we think that ancient dragons are different from other dragon species, because they are too intelligent. Moreover, they have a 'magical power' that we cannot explain for the time being, and can change their shape without using aerodynamic force. The principle is to fly freely, and there are even records in history that they control the weather changes. The ancient dragon in the textbook is said to be the prototype of a royal duke of the Galactic Empire, but unfortunately only the upper body is secretly photographed..."

His words stopped because he saw that Ming Yan had been staring at him emotionally for a long time.

Then, Ming Yan took out his mobile phone, and it was a "kakakakaka" frantic shot.

Xia Cheng: "..."

"I'm suddenly full of the urge to finish the entire game!" Ming Yan said excitedly, "and I have a brilliant idea!"

Come, come, standard ending.

Xia Cheng followed Ming Yan and trotted all the way to the desk.

Mingyan frantically drew sketches on paper and said thoughtfully: "Let these beautiful creatures fill the Chaoyang Alliance! Everyone has a chance to find dragon eggs! Raise dragons and teach them to use magic..."

Before he finished speaking, the eyes of the secretary and sister next to him were glowing green: "I want it! Boss, do it quickly, I also want to raise a little silver dragon!"

The game is naturally different from reality, and it is clearly stated that it has to be closed to do a more detailed design.

In particular, this is an augmented reality game.

The so-called "augmented reality" is AR (Augmented Reality) technology, which is generally widely used in multimedia interaction, 3D projection and other virtual information simulation technologies to achieve a certain fusion of virtual information and the real world.

For example, the interstellar era has long had real-time translation glasses.

Putting on glasses, all the foreign language words you see in your eyes will have the translation of your own native language text on it. This is a kind of AR technology.

The same is true for augmented reality games. After wearing glasses, players may see virtual kittens all over the floor in their own homes, or see a virtual Godzilla destroying the city on their way home from school.

Further, some games allow players to see a virtual treasure chest on the ground, get a virtual laser weapon from it, and then start a laser war with Godzilla - after the end, a translucent screen can also be projected to settle the settlement. What about points.

It is a technique of such a rowing boat, but it is not very popular in the Chaoyang Alliance.

On the one hand, this technology still has a lot of limitations. Players can’t really touch the projected things. It is definitely not as cool as surfing directly on the virtual network. Everything in that world can be touched. ;

On the other hand, the interstellar people are too lazy...

The convenience brought by many technologies is entirely to satisfy the laziness of human beings.

Modern interstellar people have no pressure to survive at all, and the government has arranged for them to eat, drink, and play—the government is even particularly concerned about their boredom at home, which is why they vigorously develop otherworldly games and prevent this group of idle people from making trouble.

However, in otherworldly games, people will lie down in the experience warehouse, and their bodies will not move.

According to statistics, 80% of interstellar people have obesity problems, and then 96% of them solve this problem by taking medicine directly or simply having a small operation.

However, this is all government money, okay? National medical benefits are not used for this!

All in all, for this group of lazy people who live online every day, AR technology and the government can't drag them out at all.

In the words of these star nerds:

"Is holographic games not fun, or holographic movies? Why do you have to go out and endure the boring real world?"
