I have a Mansion in the Post-apocalyptic World - Chapter 1290

Chapter 1290: Space-themed MMORPG

On the third day back in the modern world, the colony sent back good news which eased Jiang Chen’s tense state.

The report sent by the Colony Governor, Captain Hong Zewei, stated that the Celestial Marines successfully recovered the operation base near Mine 071 with the help of new weapons. The “Drill Warrior” designed by Future Military and Future Heavy Industrie played an incredible role in combating the Mars species.

Those T-4H power armors also substantially increased the survival rate of the Marines.

With Drill Warrior clearing the way, and heavily armored infantries following closely behind, Company A, responsible for attacking Mine 071, destroyed six nests within 24 hours. Five of these nests were Corruptor nests, and the one located outside the radius of the ultrasonic fence belonged to Devil Worms. A total of tens of thousands of adult Corruptors and thousands of Devil Worms were killed. The Celestial Marines successfully pushed from the surface to 21 kilometers underground.

According to the report from Hong Zewei, they were very close to the bottom of the ruins.

When the engineering team complete the reinforcement of the tunnel, it was time for the relics of the Gaia civilization to shine once again.

…

In the mansion at the northern tip of Coro Island.

Jiang Chen, who was passing by the living room, asked Lilith, who was resting against a reclining chair with a phantom helmet on, “As an advanced artificial intelligence, do you also enjoy playing games?”

Because she was not human, even if she wore a phantom helmet, Lilith could still sense outside information. In her words, she could run the game with one memory zone and control her body with the other memory zone; she was capable of being both in the virtual world and the actual world.

Jiang Chen must admit that he was envious.

“You don’t understand,” Lilith answered in her emotionless state, “It’s not the game that is fun, but the players who participate in the game.”

Jiang Chen’s eyebrows twitched.

That’s the fun part?

He was curious why players were interesting for Lilith.

However, it may not sound too great. In her eyes, the players were probably no different than white rats in the laboratory. After all, in her perspective, a troublesome creature like humans could only offer values by contributing to experimental data.

Very contradictory thoughts.

On the one hand, she possessed the desire to have a body that can integrate into human society, and on the other hand, she maintained the stubbornness of an advanced artificial intelligence. Perhaps this contradiction was part of the attributes of an advanced artificial intelligence.

“Don’t just play. Since you have so much free time, come and help me do something,” Jiang Chen said.

“Correct what you just said,” Lilith said blankly, “I have helped you process 117.8 gigabyte of files in the past 72 hours, which is equivalent to your normal workload for a month. From any perspective of analysis, my attitude is enough to be considered diligent. In contrast, you seem to be freer because you just move your tongue.”

“Uh, that much?”

Jiang Chen awkwardly touched his nose after being scoffed by Lilith.

“I haven’t counted the workload of helping you upgrade the server,” Lilith said with clear evidence to back up her words, “To prevent you from forgetting, I have to remind you. This is your war, not my war.”

“…you are right.”

Lilith sat up and looked at Jiang Chen.

“So, tell me, what do you need me to do?”

“Oh?” Jiang Chen looked at her, somewhat confused.

“I didn’t say I won’t help you,” Lilith shrugged, and said solemnly, “I just corrected your allegations.

“…”

Well, when the program learns to think, it is indeed troublesome.

He sorted out the words in his head, coughed, and then said.

“Future Technology is currently planning a large-scale space-themed VR MMORPG. The main selling points are probably space colonization, starships, trade, mining, technology tree. At present, the development is close to half-complete. The latest update is that the game completed the import of the astronomical data from the Celestial Trade Space Department. So, are you interested in developing games? ”

Designing a large-scale VR MMORPG with a space theme was discussed and implemented as early as last year.

In addition to the consideration of the current trend, the VR MMORPG also served a political purpose.

For example, to promote the current space colonization of Celestial Trade, to ignite pupils’ enthusiasm for the space industry, and to improve the tactical theory of starship battles in a virtual environment. These political goals would not be explicated stated, but it would be integrated into the game in subtle ways.

Of course, for artificial intelligence, designing a game that people love from the beginning may be a little difficult. However, with the game plan already completed, she could easily finish the programming elements.

“Interest, no. But based on your description, this should be easy for me,” Lilith, still with the helmet on, said emotionlessly.

“Then please and thank you,” Jiang Chen said immediately. “How long will this take?”

From his standpoint, he naturally hoped as early as possible.

“Depends on the workload,” Lilith said. “A week at most, but one or two days if I’m quick. If you can make your people give me as much detail about the game as possible, it can alleviate a lot of my workload.”

“You can rest assured. We have the best game design team in the world.” Jiang Chen responded with a bright smile. “By the end of the day after tomorrow at the latest, my team will put together all the information and hand it over to Xia Shiyu.”

Lilith nodded.

After he explained this, he had no reason to stay.

After Jiang Chen glanced at the time on his watch, he thought that there were still a few things to deal with, so he stepped towards the entrance.

Lilith saw Jiang Chen was about to leave, so she suddenly spoke out.

“Are you planning to leave?”

“There are two meetings I have to attend to in the afternoon,” Jiang Chen said, checking the time on his watch, “I have to go to the office in a bit. Do you want to stay here?”

“I will go with you.”

Lilith jumped off from the chair, put on her slippers, and patted her slightly wrinkled dress.

Since Lilith had no intention of taking off her helmet, Jiang Chen said as he facepalmed

“Is it really okay for you to leave while wearing a helmet?”

Lilith responded with another question.

“Is there an issue?”

Although it was full of issues from Jiang Chen’s perspective, he decided against the idea.

It was time to go.
