Along with the words of the system assistant, the player's perspective gradually sinks from the rough waves above the sea water to the dark sea layer.
This sinking seems to be endless. Even if the speed of sinking is visible to the naked eye and accelerates, no one knows where it will end up.
It was in the pitch-black deep sea, and the details were difficult to reach with the naked eye. Countless flashing colors appeared in the players' field of vision.
Although Xue Xunyu had participated in closed beta testing before, it was a emasculated version that allowed you to play without even getting started with the plot. Therefore, this was the first time he had seen the scene in front of him, and he was a little confused as to what he was trying to express.
Fortunately, the Ghost Hunting Company probably understood that the information presented in the scene before them was too abstract, so they quickly explained it to the players through voice-over.
Near the crater in the deep sea, countless primitive chemical fragments are constantly intertwining and merging. Every color that players see represents a unique chemical fragment.
Most chemical fragments collapse and disintegrate on their own after only a few minutes after intersecting. Even the better ending is just to separate from each other, with only a very small part forming a relatively stable and heritable chemical equation.
But because deep-sea volcanic craters continue to produce the most primitive nutrients, the number of chemical fragments near them is increasing. Therefore, with the blessing of a huge number base, some chemical fragments will eventually be successfully fused.
This is the most basic chemical evolution, and after an unknown period of time, the chemical equation of DNA finally stabilized at 23.
After understanding what the countless interactive scenes in front of him meant to life, Xue Xunyu was a little dazzled and didn't want to leave.
However, the system assistant ruthlessly executed the original program and once again mobilized the main perspective of the player's screen, moving the picture from the deep sea back to the surface of the planet.
When Xue Xunyu's perspective returned to the seawater layer, he realized that with the passage of hundreds of millions of years, the upper layer was now completely different from the past.
I remember that when the world was still in the "Age of Hades and Rain Gods", the whole world was in an extremely violent state, like an endless rainstorm hell.
As a result, when the chemical evolution was completed under the water surface, the heavy rain above the water surface also stopped unconsciously, and the whole world felt like it had been washed away.
The voice of the system assistant sounded at the right time, saying that with the end of the "Rain God Era", the long "Hadeo Eon" also ended, and the planet had entered the "Archean Eon" era.
When the world was in the Hadean Era, the only existence that could be called life was the "molecular life" that Xue Xunyu had seen in the deep sea before.
"Molecular Life" performs chemical evolution. After more than one billion years, a total of 23 chemical equations were developed, which can be said to be quite inefficient compared to later times.
However, although chemical evolution is inefficient, it is also crucial. The 23 chemical equations evolved in this era laid the foundation for biology in the following ten years.
As the era reaches the "Archean Eon" era, inefficient and nearly stagnant chemical evolution will be replaced by more efficient biological evolution.
In just a few hundred million years, living things will grow from tiny creatures that are indistinguishable to the naked eye, to skyscraper giants like dinosaurs, and even to the point where species like humans can be born.
However, with the beginning of the Neolithic Revolution more than 10,000 years ago, the original biological evolution will be replaced by civilized evolution, and the speed of biological evolution will become more efficient.
Of course, these things have nothing to do with the players. "Epic of Life" currently only focuses on the biological evolution stage. Whether a civilization evolution version will be developed later depends on the future revenue of this game.
Watching chemical evolution in person is an indescribably vast journey. As the player's perspective is pulled above the sea level, Xue Xunyu hears the cold mechanical voice of the system assistant again, and for a moment he feels as if he is in another world. illusion:
"This is your initial stage. Starting from the humblest primitive creature, you will embark on a long journey to conquer the world. This will be an epic of life."
"Perhaps you are a little strange at this time, why do I say 'they'? Because you are not the only one who was selected and descended, but many...many..."
If Xue Xunyu was not playing a game, but was really chosen to be a time traveler, he might be a little panicked when he heard that there were many competitors.
But now, isn’t this playing an online game? Isn’t it normal to have many players in an online game? On the contrary, it would be abnormal if there were no other players.
After the system assistant finished announcing this sentence, two lines of subtitles slowly appeared under the subtitles of "Archaean Era" in front of the screen.
The first line is "Beginning of the Archaean Era", which is obviously like the "Bacchus Age" and the "Rain God Age", which are different eras of the "Archaean Eon".
The second line of subtitles is "Epic of Life Version 1.0·Primitive Biological Stage". Obviously, in addition to "Primitive Biological Stage", there will be other biological stages.
Players have discussed this on the forum and believe that there will be at least single-celled organisms, marine organisms, terrestrial organisms and other stages.
At this point, the long opening CG came to an end. Players like Xue Xunyu moved the main perspective for the last time. They moved from above the sea water towards the deep sea volcano.
What finally appears in front of the player's screen is a slimy mass of inexplicable creatures. This mass is the so-called "primitive creature" that is humbler than cells. Players must control it to start their own "Life" "Epic".
When most players and viewers who have not experienced the closed beta actually see the actual screen of "The Epic of Life", they immediately understand why this game can be released on both AR and VR platforms.
Because there is not much difference between VR and AR platforms in the game, players observe various scenes in the game screen from a flat perspective.
Needless to say, players who use the AR platform to play "The Epic of Life" can play through three-dimensional game images on the AR game board.
But this VR platform is a bit too crazy. It allows you to create an AR game disk in the VR world, and then play it through AR in VR.
This behavior is really stupid. What is the difference between doing this and playing it directly in AR? Some players complained on the forum that Ghost Hunting Company probably didn’t even spend much time porting it.
For some games, this kind of behavior will naturally greatly lower the reputation of the game, because players will be very dissatisfied with it.
But "Epic of Life" will be one of the few exceptions. After all, its overall gameplay is similar to big fish eating small fish, so players find that such a perfunctory transplant is not completely unacceptable.
