By this time in 2102, there really were no major events worth mentioning. As the New Year's bell rang, the world entered 2103, which was also Zhong Shanze's third year here.
In the first month of 2103, gamers were once again shocked by new information from Shancheng Technology: the company's Dream Series will launch a new product next month, the more stable and cheaper fourth-generation Dream Series "Dream No. 4".
Compared with the previous "Dream No. 3", the "Dream No. 4" has a lower price and a more stable configuration. The most important thing is that in this version, it realizes semi-networked technology.
One of the reasons why "Dream No. 3" is not taken seriously is that it has no way to connect to the Internet. Players who buy this device will really play stand-alone games after entering the game, or the oldest stand-alone game.
Once something goes wrong, it cannot be repaired easily. You have to go to a specialty store and ask someone to repair it. Therefore, "Dream No. 3" is not affordable for ordinary people.
However, "Dream No. 4" is different. This latest game and it have realized semi-networking function, taking another big step towards holographic online games.
What is semi-networked function? The so-called semi-networked function means that you can upload your own data to the game center in the holographic game. Players can conduct some simple interactions through the game center.
But there is still no way to allow players to interact directly in the game directly through game devices, so this technology is called semi-networked function.
In terms of actual operation, this is a very useless technology, because the interaction of this function is very slow. Wouldn't it be good for players to have this kind of time to interact directly through personal CR?
However, what is important is not what this technology looks like now, but the meaning behind this technology. Although we can only do this kind of pseudo-networking now, it shows that networking technology is becoming more and more mature.
For players, it also greatly facilitates their gaming experience. You must know that in the "Dream 3" era, if a player wants to temporarily exit the game, he must come out of the device, then close the holographic game compartment and leave. After all, you can't connect to the Internet in the game warehouse.
If the game you are playing happens to not have a temporary save function, then the experience will be even more fucked up. Fortunately, at this stage, players have a very high tolerance for holographic games.
Therefore, with the launch of "Dream No. 4", many players who were originally interested were finally tempted. For example, Ge Zhaodu finally gritted his teeth and dug out enough money from his savings to buy a holographic device.
This news only shocked gamers. However, major game companies have already known about this in advance and have made relevant preparations.
Because with the iterative updates of Dream series products, there is no doubt that the game will need to be re-encoded. Although the coding of the two generations of Dream series devices is similar, there are still some subtle differences.
For example, Qingyu Company, for example, received a sample of "Dream No. 4" a few months ago, and therefore started to redesign and modify "Hongmeng Shi". Therefore, the official release date of the game will not change much for this reason. .
So why do you want to do this? The main thing is hunger marketing. When you have a new device, you will naturally look forward to new games. It just happens that there are new games at this time, so why not buy them?
The main reason why Ge Zhaodu wanted to buy Dream No. 4 was that his desire to buy was confirmed by the news of "Hongmeng Shi". After buying Dream No. 4, he can directly play the first holographic masterpiece "Hongmeng Shi", which is very necessary.
When the outside world was abuzz with news about Dream No. 4 in the past few days, Zhong Shanze was not particularly concerned about it. His attention was focused on a primary school.
January is the physical test day for primary schools in the area. During this period, all primary school students will complete physical fitness tests in order, which will be used as files for promotion to junior high schools.
At this time, they had just completed the 100-meter run. Looking at the results on the electronic screen, the athletes couldn't help but admired: "This kid is quite outstanding."
It can be seen from the electronic screen that the score of the first place on the list is steadily higher than that of the second place, and the three words "Niu Dali" are clearly written on the name.
Niu Dali is the child who tried to find urban supernatural powers after his parents died unexpectedly. In May last year, he was identified by Zhong Shanze as the No. 3 candidate for Tool Man.
There used to be many candidates for Tool Man No. 3, but since last May, it has been observed for more than half a year now that many candidates have been eliminated one after another. Niu Dali is the one most recognized by Zhong Shanze.
After all, unlike Tool Man No. 1 Dai Wenguan, who is an online game producer, and Tool Man No. 2 Zhou Yi, who is a developer of holographic technology, the purpose of Tool Man No. 3 is to become a container for the arrival of Zhong Shanze, so they are all elementary school students.
How many primary school students can have a perseverant character? What's more, this is not a visible achievement, it is just an illusory practice.
But with a huge population base, there are still some suitable candidates, such as Niu Dali, despite his ugly name, he is one of the most promising.
This kid has been fulfilling his promise for half a year, and he has been persevering in abiding by Zhong Shanze's teachings every day and building the foundation before formal practice.
Although the transformation has not officially started, or it is hypocritically called cultivation, listening to the mysterious words for half a year has brought great changes to Niu Dali's body.
The physical test in front of him is proof that not only the 100-meter run, but also Niu Dali's performance in all sports has exceeded the level of primary school students at this stage.
Of course, this did not arouse suspicion in the surrounding area, because first of all, the candidates were relatively far away, and there was no dazzling situation of getting together.
The second thing is that after all, he is a teenager and is about to become a junior high school student. His physical fitness is better than that of a junior high school student. Although this kind of thing is relatively rare, it is not the kind that needs to be pulled up to the test bench for careful inspection.
So what the physical examiner in front of him was thinking about was this classmate named Niu Dali. How was his academic performance? If not, it would be a good candidate for a sports student.
Niu Dali felt the envious looks from the classmates around him. Being a young man, he couldn't help but feel a little complacent. At the same time, he became more determined to learn from that mysterious existence.
Hey, how about asking you all to laugh at me? There are supernatural powers in this world, right? My current results are proof of that.
Of course, this was just something he was thinking about in his mind, and Niu Dali would not say it out loud. After all, compared to the temptation to enter the world of superpowers, this kind of showing off was nothing, and he couldn't offend the teacher because of it.
By the way, when the teacher officially accepts me as a disciple, I will ask the teacher to change my name. The name "Dali" is really stupid!
But Niu Dali didn't know that the teacher in his heart was observing him with the help of electronic cameras, and was very satisfied with the growth of Tool Man No. 3 candidate.
Very good, very good, as expected, it cannot directly descend into this world. This strategy of first cultivating a suitable container as a carrier of arrival is correct.
