Rongcheng Military District was one of the seven military districts in the Xia Xia. As a national military institution, Rongcheng Military District did not provide generous financial rewards for scientific research like private enterprises.
Rongcheng Military District rewarded researchers who made contributions to scientific research with military ranks or glory.
When Shi Lei discovered Liu Dongrui's obvious desire for credit, he had an idea. Perhaps he could use money to rope in Rongcheng Military District's researchers so that they could contribute to Mirui Technology.
Money moved people's hearts!
This was a principle that had remained unchanged since ancient times!
Rongcheng Military District's researchers were obviously cheap labor.
Although their ownership rights always belonged to the Rongcheng Military District, Mirui Technology only needed to pay a very small price to mobilize the scientific research personnel of the Rongcheng Military District.
As for whether Rongcheng Military District would allow it or not?
Don't worry, Rongcheng Military District would definitely allow it!
Why would the higher-ups of Rongcheng Military District be willing to let Rongcheng Military District's researchers assist Lin 'an Underground Base and participate in Mirui Technology's research project?
That was because Rongcheng Military District wanted to steal the technology!
From the very beginning, Rongcheng Military District had hoped to steal Mirui Technology's advanced technology through joint research projects.
Unfortunately, although Shi Lei's research project in Lin 'an Underground Base was very advanced, it required special software programs to start up and run.
Although Rongcheng Military District had achieved its initial goal of completely mastering the manufacturing process and assembly technology of Steel Hao and The First Light, without the corresponding control system, these two powerful weapons were just scrap metal!
It was very, very difficult for Rongcheng Military District to develop a corresponding operating system!
This was especially true for The First Light's operating system. Without Izur's help, it would have been impossible to achieve.
Even so, Rongcheng Military District was still keen on mixing with Mirui Technology Group. Rongcheng Military District's thoughts were very simple, that was, mixing with Mirui Technology Group, there would always be a chance to obtain Mirui Technology Group's technology.
If they didn't work with Mirui Technology Group, they wouldn't have the chance to get Mirui Technology's technology.
Liu Dongrui took the initiative to report his work to Shi Lei. Dong Guoguo's eyes flickered and a faint smile appeared on her face as she introduced, "Boss, this is Liu Dongrui, an expert in ergonomics and mechanical structures from Rongcheng Military District."
Shi Lei looked at Liu Dongrui and said with a smile, "Hello, Mr. Liu." As he spoke, Shi Lei took the initiative to extend his right hand, intending to shake hands with Liu Dongrui.
Liu Dongrui had a request in his heart and immediately shook Shi Lei's right hand. His expression was a little excited. "Hello, Director Shi. Welcome to Lin 'an for inspection."
Shi Lei smiled and withdrew his right hand. "Mr. Liu, you just said that you have completed the somatosensory operation platform, right?"
"Yes, Director Shi!"
Liu Dongrui scratched his head and said with a slight shyness, "Director Shi, you should just call me Old Liu. It sounds more pleasing to the ear."
Shi Lei didn't hold back. "Okay, Old Liu, take me to see your somatosensory operation platform!"
"This way, please."
Liu Dongrui immediately led the way. Wasn't the somatosensory operation platform used in this game designed to be shown to Shi Lei so that he could get a research and development reward?
Therefore, after Shi Lei came in person, Liu Dongrui appeared to be more enthusiastic.
Liu Dongrui brought Shi Lei to the worksite in the distance. In the worksite, the brand-new somatosensory operation platform was like a treadmill. However, it had a circular chassis, which looked a little strange.
The circular chassis was divided into two structures. The outermost circle seemed to be a protective plastic shell, and in the middle was a circular black conveyor belt.
Around the circular chassis, there were four cylindrical pillars. Through observation, Shi Lei found that these circular pillars should be pneumatic lift pumps that could adjust their height.
The four circular pillars were 90 degrees apart from each other and surrounded the circular chassis. Above the circular pillars, there was a black circular pipe-like thing.
On this circular pipe, there were four black ropes hanging down from the same position as the four circular pillars. Judging from the external material, it should be an elastic material that could be stretched.
Looking at this somatosensory operation platform, Shi Lei's face did not show any expression. The brand-new somatosensory operation platform seemed to be somewhat similar to the original first-generation somatosensory operation platform.
However, according to Shi Lei's analysis, the brand-new somatosensory operation platform made up for some of the shortcomings of the first-generation somatosensory operation platform. Overall, it should be better than the second-generation somatosensory operation platform.
However, the specific performance could only be known after actual testing.
Only after testing could the interface driver be written.
"Director Shi, this is the somatosensory operation platform that we have developed. We have referred to some of the plans of the old platforms and made some improvements to address some of the shortcomings.
Especially the problem of the comfort of wearing and the user's degree of freedom. "Liu Dongrui did not hide the fact that the brand-new somatosensory operation platform had referred to the old platforms.
Shi Lei nodded noncommittally. "What's the specific effect?"
Liu Dongrui did not answer immediately. Instead, he walked to the workbench at the side, picked up something that looked like briefs, put it on, and stood on the brand-new somatosensory operation platform.
"Director Shi, because the somatosensory operation platform does not have an interface driver, we also do not have a program to capture behavior dynamics and write the corresponding recognition instructions. Currently, we can only use our native method to control the somatosensory operation platform." Liu Dongrui explained the situation as he stood in the middle of the somatosensory operation platform.
Liu Dongrui first locked the four flexible material ropes onto the part that looked like briefs through the fastening mechanism.
After completing this task, Liu Dongrui introduced, "This is a part that supports the player and limits the player's range of movement. It can provide support when the player is using qinggong. It can also prevent the player from leaving the range of the somatosensory operation platform when the player is running."
"Mhm." Shi Lei casually replied. This kind of design also existed in the old platforms.
Liu Dongrui opened his right hand and pressed a remote control. There were only three buttons. Due to the distance, Shi Lei could not clearly see the words on the three buttons.
"Director Shi, this is the somatosensory operation platform's elevation controller. Because it cannot be connected to the Hero's World, we can only use this control method to simulate the movements of real players."
Liu Dongrui first pressed one of the buttons, and the four circular pillars lowered. Liu Dongrui cooperated by squatting down.
Shi Lei's eyes lit up. Squatting down was a difficult action in the first and second generation of the somatosensory operation platform. Some players had always complained about it.
After Liu Dongrui demonstrated the squatting action, he pressed another button. The four circular pillars immediately rose and exceeded their original height. Through the four elastic material ropes and fastening mechanism, Liu Dongrui was pulled up to a height of about twenty centimeters from the circular chassis.
After Liu Dongrui left the ground, he imitated the movements of the characters using qinggong in wuxia television dramas. His two feet kicked randomly in the air. No matter how one looked at it, it was very funny!
Shi Lei revealed a hint of a smile.
Liu Dongrui did not know that Shi Lei was laughing at his funny movements. Instead, as if he had received encouragement, he continued to demonstrate with all his might.
After a while, Liu Dongrui pressed the third button. The circular pillars lowered and returned to their original height, allowing Liu Dongrui to stand on the circular chassis.
"Director Shi, we have used a pneumatic lift pump for the new somatosensory operation platform. It has effectively solved the 'squatting' and 'qinggong' states." Liu Dongrui explained the situation as if he was afraid that Shi Lei did not understand.
After he finished speaking, Liu Dongrui continued, "Next, we will use the new function of the new somatosensory operation platform. It has effectively solved the problem of the player's visual orientation."
Liu Dongrui changed the remote control and pressed a button. Liu Dongrui started to change directions on the platform. The four circular pillars actually followed Liu Dongrui's direction of rotation. Moreover, the reaction speed was not slow, with a delay of about 0.5 seconds.
After all, this was a prediction without an interface driver, so it was impossible to achieve a low delay.
Shi Lei's eyes focused. This function was really very good. The previous two generations of the somatosensory operation platform were unable to solve the problem of changing directions very well. The new somatosensory operation platform could be considered to have solved this problem perfectly.
While Liu Dongrui was testing the direction of rotation, he opened his mouth and introduced, "Director Shi, actually, the new somatosensory operation platform has a very good function." As he spoke, Liu Dongrui stepped on the black conveyor belt.
Shi Lei asked curiously. "What function?" Shi Lei secretly guessed. Just what kind of strange function did the black conveyor belt have?
"Director Shi, the new somatosensory operation platform's moving conveyor belt has been carefully designed by us. In the end, it can move at any angle without any blind spots.
In other words, even if the rotation of the hydraulic bearings is not synchronized with the moving conveyor belt, having a moving conveyor belt at any angle without any blind spots will not cause the player to feel sluggish or have a different experience. "Liu Dongrui said proudly.
Shi Lei looked at the unassuming black conveyor belt in shock. This thing that Liu Dongrui had ordered to be a moving conveyor belt could actually move at any angle without any blind spots. How could this circular conveyor belt achieve such a powerful function?
Could it be that Liu Dongrui also had some unknown black technology?
Of course, this was just a joke. Shi Lei did not understand the structure of machinery very well.
After Liu Dongrui finished his introduction, the demonstration of the new somatosensory operation platform was also about to end. He removed the quick-fix component and walked to Shi Lei's side. With slight hesitation and uneasiness, he asked, "Director Shi, how do you feel about the new somatosensory operation platform?"
Shi Lei was very satisfied with the new somatosensory operation platform. The new somatosensory operation platform basically satisfied the players' gaming needs.
However, what was the cost of this new somatosensory operation platform?
Could it allow Dream Entertainment to make a huge profit?
