My players are so fierce

Chapter 623 622. Hardware enhancement and new UI interface design for players

The generosity of the Blood Terror clan made Murphy feel a little troublesome, especially after he told Tris about it, the Blood Vulture Grand Duke felt that the situation was serious.

"So, Pablo told you personally, does their coming to Transia really have a second purpose? Is it related to any disaster?"

In Tris's laboratory, Tris, who was busy preparing some things that Murphy couldn't understand, asked:

"And, did they get the prophecy from the stargazers of the ancient country of Callum?"

"Well, that's what he said, and I heard it with the power of desire. It's not a lie. Pablo and Claire are really panicked. The hidden fear cannot be faked. They must be in big trouble."

Murphy leaned aside, admiring his powerful girlfriend's smooth alchemy operations.

He said softly:

"I can't imagine how troublesome it would be to get a group of greedy pirates to voluntarily give up their money, but we do need their help, and I suspect these guys got more than just a prophecy from the mystical sorcerers in the East.

There is also a solution. "

"This is natural. If there is any force in the world that has the most exquisite mastery of prophecy spells, then apart from the fate-weaver girl of the Shadow Elf, the only one left is the Qintian Prison of the ancient country of Callum."

Trish poured a tube of solution into the heated crystal bottle and said:

"When I traveled to the mainland, I originally wanted to go to the ancient country of Kalum, but when I just crossed the Dark Mountains and arrived at Wanli Dragon's Backbone in their western territory, there were already stargazers waiting for me there and urging me to return. The mysterious guy told me , my destiny is not in the East.

And now that I think about it, that guy seemed to be hinting to me to prepare for being stabbed in the back by Sarokdar.

But at that time I was too young and too reckless, and I was so arrogant that I didn’t even listen.

Alas, those guys are really capable. If they reveal some truth to the Blood Terror clan, then with the superstitious style of pirates, Pablo and Claire may really bet everything on us.

But I don't really care about the fate of the Blooddread clan right now.

Since Lord Paying promised them to return to the mainland, the Blood Alliance clan would not turn a blind eye to the blood fear problem.

They also have helpers.

What I'm worried about now is your strategy. You know that once you put the halfling airship into the war, it means that the halflings will regard Transia as an unwelcome guest.

Is it really worth it? "

Tris looked at Murphy and asked:

"Didn't you say that in your plan for Transia, the industrial power controlled by the halflings is a very important part? It seems a bit reckless to close the door to friendship between the two parties, turning a long-term relationship into a One-shot deals are not your style."

"How do you want me to explain it to you? Tris."

Murphy rubbed his eyebrows and said:

“We are certain that this black disaster will have an earth-shaking impact on the mainland, and perhaps everything we knew before will be changed because of this war.

I have been thinking about what the worst outcome of the Black Disaster will be in the past few days, and in my imagination, I feel that the isolationism that the halflings have maintained for hundreds of years will most likely be completely ended because of this battle.

The halflings had too much time to take care of themselves, and the steam lords did not have so much time and energy to deal with the deterioration of diplomacy with Transia.

And on the other hand, based on their current cooperation model with the Plantagenet Kingdom, I guess those halflings will not assist us in developing our territory with the great ideal of 'promoting technology'.

I could sell Transia's business interests to the wolf girl in exchange for the supplies we need, but that wouldn't work for a halfling.

Once those guys' factories are opened, with their terrifying production capacity and greedy appetite, Transia will become a place for obtaining cheap production materials and a place for dumping goods in a short period of time. The clay-footed giant Nordtov is not a concept.

And because of the Black Disaster, there is a high probability that the halflings will not waste time with us.

More and more signals are indicating that an era of chaos is coming, and we may not be able to learn bit by bit and grow and recover bit by bit.

Taking this opportunity to get the machinery we need from the halflings is a necessary strategy, but if we can only get it once, then just get a big one!

As for future technological and industrial development.

We have the knowledge of the aliens, and I don't think that valuable knowledge is any less valuable than the steam engineering of the halflings. "

"Okay, you convinced me."

Tris nodded, and she threw a few gray crystals in her hand into the beaker, but a few seconds later, Murphy suddenly felt a chill that danger was coming, and almost retreated at the same time as Tris and spread his blood wings to protect the two of them. .

"boom"

A loud noise exploded in the laboratory, involving Tris's laboratory and turning it into a mess. There was also a pungent smell rising in the gray smoke. The familiar smell of gunpowder smoke made Murphy squint. Tris looked helpless.

He said:

"I just wanted to ask, what kind of experiment are you doing?"

"TNT."

Tris waved her hand and mobilized her extraordinary law of time, quickly restoring the messy laboratory to what it was a few seconds ago. She complained:

"I plan to get RDX, which is safer and more powerful. I think this thing is not difficult, but it turns out that this periodic table of elements is not so easy to understand. It also proves that people from other worlds are far more talented in making explosives. My imagination.

This is the ninth time it has failed.

But I feel like I'm not far from success. "

"Uh, come on! My very cruel girlfriend."

Murphy complained, took out his pocket watch, looked at the time, and said:

"I have to discuss the new interface design of the Calculation Orb with Old Feilun. Do you want to have dinner together tonight?"

"No need, I'm busy these days. I have to finish RDX before the closed beta starts."

Tris rolled up her sleeves and took out some very exciting ingredients again. While she was busy, she said to the regretful Murphy:

"But after I finish this, maybe we can go and relive the world of two people. There is a projector over there, right? You'd better choose a few literary movies that I like to watch in advance."

"Okay, let me prepare a candlelight dinner for you in advance that will please your body and mind. I will cook it myself."

Murphy walked to the door of the laboratory, turned around and said:

"Want to order in advance? My Queen."

"Go, go, stop talking, I'm busy right now, be careful if I mismatch a formula and blow up the entire Blood Vulture Corridor. You have to know that burning gold powder can also be used to accelerate the explosive reaction of TNT."

"Then your hands must not shake. The Midnight Tower has just built a foundation. If you blow it up, Professor Chen will definitely fight you with a shovel. Don't be so tired, Tris, pay attention to rest. "

——

When Murphy returned to his office, Old Flywheel was already waiting for him.

Although this cynical old guy maintains his cold attitude of not being able to tolerate anything, when it comes to his professional field, the old flywheel is indeed very dedicated.

For the sake of the gold-burning ores that are constantly being dug out, Old Flywheel obviously intends to fulfill the deal between him and Murphy perfectly.

That is about the program upgrade of the calculation orb.

"My old darling has received my letter. She plans to follow Captain Paula's airship to come to Transia in a week. At that time, she will also bring the three and a half generations of orbs I promised you.

But not too many. "

Old Feilun held a special device in his hand that was specially used to debug the psychic factors of the calculation orb, just like a mechanical tuning fork. He adjusted the calculation orb in his hand to the "editable state" and said:

"Recently, the research on the fourth-generation computing orbs at Shardo University has been nearly completed. The number of semi-finished products they lost has been greatly reduced. My old baby only got about thirty of them after using his connections.

That thing is different from these mass-produced products. I have to manually reset each one.

Regarding its program adjustment, I will imitate the weird program in your core orb. Today we will only talk about the adjustments of these ordinary orbs.

Let me tell you first, the computing power of this thing determines that it cannot have complex functions, and you used your strange orb to complete the group editing of psychic factors on them, causing their computing power to be squeezed, so My adjustments can only be minor adjustments to the corners. "

Having said this, Old Feilun looked at the core orb hanging on Murphy's chest suspiciously, blinked his scarred eyes, and said:

"Now I really doubt who helped you adjust the operation mode of the core orb. I have been studying the arrangement of the mutated psychic factors in the past few days, and I can confirm that this was not done by Minx.

Because the arrangement and combination of those psychic factors have never appeared before.

Even my mentor who invented the Calculation Orb most likely did not advance the calculation to this level. To put it bluntly, the technological content of that thing was so high that I was shocked. "

"Don't test it. How can I, an engineering idiot, possibly handle such a complicated thing?"

Murphy waved his hands and said:

"I won't hide it from you. I brought this thing into a place of creation. Do you understand what I mean?"

"Oh! That's it! Does the core orb have some resonance with the Creator's technology? That can be explained!"

Old Feilun's eyes lit up, and he touched his ridiculous but majestic eight-character nonsense again:

"Actually, when my mentor invented the Calculation Orb, the inspiration for simulating the difference engine with psychic factors came from the exploration of a certain creation relic. He once told us that halfling technology was only built in this chaotic era. 'Pseudoscience' based on bad foundations.

He said that true knowledge is hidden in the Creator’s blueprint!

But unfortunately, the halfling race has been changed by psychic energy like the entire world, and we have missed the opportunity to truly delve into that great technology.

Moreover, the creation lands on the continent are basically monopolized by various organizations, and halflings are pacifists. We really can’t find a complete creation land for scientific and technological exploration, so..."

"boom"

A blue energy battery was thrown on the table by Murphy. He said to the old flywheel:

"You help me upgrade the program and complete the airship modification project, and then help me train a group of engineering apprentices, and I can provide you with this kind of thing. Energy polymers directly from the golden age, or even some simple creations science and technology.

Flywheel, we can cooperate more deeply. For example, if I take you into the place of creation that is completely controlled by me, I don’t need your loyalty, so we can maintain this relationship of equality and mutual help.

I don't know why you want to live in isolation, but if you don't have bad intentions, you are actually welcome to settle here permanently in Transia. "

Old Flywheel was noncommittal in the face of this solicitation. A capable person like him could easily find a place that was a hundred times better than Transia. Murphy's solicitation was unattractive, but what he came up with was very interesting.

Fei Lun took the energy battery in his hand and studied it carefully. After a few minutes, he shook his head and said:

"No, I can't analyze the working principle of this thing with my engineering skills. I may need to observe and learn from a close distance. As for your recruitment, Governor Murphy, I am a halfling with a secret!

I have no intention of tying myself to a ruler until I complete my life-long quest for secrets, and the Steam Lords will pay handsomely for me if I do.

You know, compared to my idealistic and pedantic junior brother, I am a true pragmatist.

Okay, let’s get down to business.

Regarding the transformation of the orb, how do you plan to do it? "

"Only one request!"

Murphy raised a finger and said:

"The UI interface of the calculation orb dedicated to the second generation warriors does not need to change the internal functions, but it should be as 'cool' as possible."

"Um?"

Old Feilun had probably never heard such a request in his life. He frowned and said:

"Explain to me what 'cool' means?"

"so!"

Murphy took out a piece of paper, and what he drew on it was the kind of player interface he wanted, a standard RPG-style character display, with equipment slots next to it, and a digital reminder showing the capacity of the energy pack.

On the right side of the interface is the task bar, which can record task content, and below is the mini map display.

This thing also has pagination.

After activating the communication mode, a special chat field needs to be listed. As for voice communication, it is best to form a real-time projection of the character's bust on the orb.

Murphy didn't think too much when he was working on the player interface before. At that time, after all, his career had just started, and it was already good if it was useful. But now that there are conditions for improvement, Murphy's "development team" can't continue to let players To use the 1.0 version of the UI interface, some integration changes must be made.

This shows that the development team is really working hard and not doing nothing for nothing.

Murphy explained to Flywheel in detail:

“I need the character interface of the orb to specifically display the injuries of my warriors and their injured locations, and be closely bound to their existence form to reflect their equipment status in real time.

Even the amount of ammo.

If possible, achievement prompts should also be made real-time.

Finally, I want to add a listening module to the calculation orb. I mean the kind that I can hear their conversations even if they turn off the orb. "

"Your request is too cumbersome, and to achieve so many real-time functions, I have to add a storage and connection database to the computing orb."

Fei Lun shook his head and said:

"This is difficult to achieve with the computing power of a single orb, unless I transform it into a parallel connection of two orbs, one is used to achieve the integrated function you want, and the other is used for data storage and deep calculations .

The computing power of this thing is not as strong as you think, so in this mode, they need to release data every seven days.

As for recording and reflecting the real-time status of the warrior, it is not difficult. All you need to do is add a psychic scanning and display plug-in to the orb.

I'll ask the old baby to bring this special plug-in.

Speaking of which, is the plug-in part necessary?

I have seen the plug-ins used by you Transians. They are too inferior. They have very few functions and are sold so expensively. Your merchants are so evil!

My old baby wants to run the black market here with the Blood Rat Gang, and the plug-in business can also be handed over to the Blood Rat Gang. The remote calculation orb plug-in in Port Chardeau now has 100+ functions, and most of them All are cheap. "

"Then get them all! The more the merrier, my warriors like that they have choices."

Murphy nodded and said:

"Finally, there is the real-time translation function of the orb. This thing is okay for translating languages, but there will be many errors and omissions when it is used to translate text."

"Nonsense! Translation of multiple languages ​​requires database support. It is already remarkable that the small computing power of the computing orb can achieve language interoperability."

Flywheel was too lazy to talk too much to Murphy, an engineering idiot. He waved his hand and said:

"If you insist on adding a complete translation function, I will have to make the orb into a three-bead parallel connection. In this way, all the functions you need can be implemented, but its size and cost will also change. It has to be unacceptable.”

"No problem, just do it!"

Murphy agreed:

"Anyway, with you as a cracking master here, I won't worry about the number of calculation orbs in the future. By the way, I designed the new calculation orbs to be worn, so that they can tie the orbs to their arms!

This will make it much easier to use various plug-ins to fight.

Well, the fantasy version of Huahua Boy, I like it! "

"Hey, Murphy, your fuel money will eventually run out. I think you should consider saving a little when purchasing services from me."

"Well, when we run out, why don't we just find another one? I'm sure there are a lot of burning gold mines in the Dark Mountains! Those are all wealth that we can use at will."
