Reborn to create a virtual world

When Lin Shu failed to log in to Weibo, he thought it was a problem with the official website server.Anyway, he doesn't think his network will be unstable, after all, his configuration and security measures are higher than those of ordinary websites.

Lin Shu couldn't get on Weibo, so Lin Shu went to take a shower.

When he came back from the shower, he still couldn't log in to Weibo, so Lin Shu gave up and turned to the news and Xingze's official forum, only to find a bunch of people complaining that Lin Shu's Weibo was broken.

Lin Shu: "..."

Only then did he realize that it wasn't the official server that had the problem, but his own region.

is enough.

Ju Mingfeng put out a fruit platter and laughed when he heard about it.He said: "It's not too surprising that you were ranked first in the hot search list this morning."

Lin Shu shrugged and reached for the toothpick.As a result, Ju Mingfeng pushed his hand away, then handed the inserted yellow peach to Lin Shu, and said, "Ah..."

Just at this time, the people in the other room opened with a click. Chen Mingxue saw this scene head-on, and found that Lin Shu was staring at people, while Ju Mingfeng was smiling, and turned his head and ran into the kitchen as if he hadn't seen anything. .

Ju Mingfeng shouted: "The fruit plate on the counter is for you!"

Chen Mingxue said: "I see." Then he made coffee and took the fruit plate, and ran away without squinting.

Lin Shu waved to Ju Mingfeng, making him bow his head.

Ju Mingfeng was still holding a fruit with a toothpick in his hand. He was a little confused about Lin Shu's actions, but he still bowed his head very obediently.

As a result, Lin Shu slapped him and gave him a shudder.

He said: "Can we stop being nasty? You are simply bullying Mingxue. How embarrassing is she?"

Ju Mingfeng shrugged: "So didn't I compensate her?"

Lin Shu said: "I can't stand you. Who will compensate for the goosebumps on my body?"

Ju Mingfeng felt so wronged—isn't it natural to be numb when falling in love?

It's a pity that his family, Lin Xiaoshu, doesn't approve of it at all, and he doesn't have romance in his mind. He often dares to talk to you about work when you are romantic with him, which is very stressful.

After news of the [-]D printer spread, many people around Lin Shu showed strong interest in it.However, this machine is really expensive, at least for now, it is not an equipment that any family can afford.

In fact, for Chen Mingxue, using a cloud printer as a model is very suitable, but unfortunately, the frequency of her use is actually relatively low, and even if she really made one, it would be a waste.

After thinking about it carefully, Lin Shu felt that this situation is similar to most people.

They are all devices that can be used, but not used in large quantities, so the cost performance is not very high.After thinking about it, he became more and more sure of his original sales strategy.

So after a period of time, almost during the summer vacation, Star Trail finally started to promote cloud printers.However, their main promotion direction is not the sale of printers, but the establishment of coin-operated printing shops in major cities.

In other words, consumers can purchase drawings from the official website of the future platform, or download relevant software to design by themselves, and then save them in a specific format.Then take the memory card with the drawing format to the local coin-operated printing shop, insert the drawing and select the basic printing option, the printer will inform the user of the basic cost of printing, after the coin is paid, the printer will print out for the player desired drawings.

In addition to general prop models, character models and architectural models can also be printed.The model printed by cloud printing technology is very fine, but not very strong.But because of the low price, the cost performance is still relatively high.

Due to the high cost of the machine itself and high manufacturing technology requirements, the number of self-service points that Star Rail can currently choose from is also very limited.The priority points are the big cities with Xingze specialty stores, and then spread out evenly around these points.

Although it can't cover most of the areas for the time being, it is the limit of what Star Trail can do at present.

After the popularization of hardware, software naturally needs to keep up.

At about the same time, most of the official software on the future platform has been updated. Among them, the special software originally used to design characters, buildings or other props on the future platform has a special output option for 3D printing drawings, which can convert [-]D designs Convert directly to a format that can be used for [-]D printing.

Of course, not everyone can use design software to design characters or architectural models by themselves, so among the existing products on the shelves, the future platform will soon add an option to download cloud printing drawings.

After this option comes out, the future platform is really connected with cloud printing technology.

When the cloud printer was first installed, there were not too many people using it, but Xu Liangqi and others had internal information, so they went to test the actual effect of the machine immediately.

The day I went was cloudy.Lin Shu heard that they were going to print cloud drawings, and after thinking about it, he asked them to bring some fresh-keeping bags, because the humid environment would also affect the preservation of the three-dimensional model.

At present, cloud printing mainly uses two types of pigments. One is non-glossy and has a delicate feel, but it is not waterproof and needs to be stored in a dry and dark place as much as possible.The other pigment is waterproof and bright in color, but it is not as textured as the previous one.

Chen Mingxue printed the first type.The character model costumes she printed are all clear and cute, and the tones must be softer and more delicate to look good, so it is not easy to choose the latter.

After everyone finished printing, Tang Shao couldn't help but said, "It would be great if you could make a model box for this thing, the one like Zhu Jin. Even a plastic bottle is fine. If you can put it in and let it go, you should It can be stored for a longer period of time."

When Lin Shu heard this, his heart suddenly moved.

But Le Future held the character model he made and said: "Speaking of... I remembered something. I don't know when, I heard an old man talking about it at a clay figurine booth, pinch it The clay figurine will crack after a while. If you don’t want it to crack, just apply a layer of nail polish on its shell and it can be stored for a long time. Lin Shu, if this is used on a cloud-printed model, will it be okay? Will it work too?"

Le Future asked this question because he saw a prompt on the screen when printing just now, saying that a model can only last for three months with pure color and no deformation, and it should be stored in a dry and cool place.

This is exactly the same as what the grandfather told Le Future when he bought the clay figurine.At that time, the other party said that the clay figurines will dry, crack and change color after a period of time, and will become sticky and slippery in humid air, so they should be stored in a cool and dry place.If you apply a layer of nail polish on the surface, it can be stored longer.

Lin Shu thought for a while, and wrote down the opinions of the two of them.

In his opinion, these two methods are actually quite feasible, but the specifics depend on the price, cost and method of use.The method of applying nail polish is actually not much different from using oil-based paint. As for the method of boxing, it still depends on the demand in general.

The cloud series materials themselves are non-polluting, and can be directly decomposed as carbohydrates after dissolution.However, if plastic packaging is used, the recycling and disposal of the plastic protective layer cannot be ensured, which is more likely to increase pollution.

Considering this, Lin Shu felt that this part of the cost had to be included, so whether it could be implemented or not would depend on the results of the research.

Not long after Le Future and others printed, cloud printing became popular, and more and more people knew about the existence of these printing points.If cloud printing technology is most useful to whom, it must be various designers.But there are also people who use it to make simple toys, cheap figures, and small props and knick-knacks with special shapes.

For example, Lin Shu heard that someone designed the character shape himself, and then printed out the cake doll for the wedding with a cloud printer.

Printing dots after that is very busy.The nearest printing point in Huxi is at the entrance of the specialty store downstairs in Xingze. Sometimes when Lin Shu passes by, he will see people crowded there, even a long queue, so there are fewer people in the middle of the night, but it’s not No.

As time passed, many people posted their finished products on Weibo or forums.Among them are architects posting their latest architectural models, nerds posting their own hand-made models, fashion designers posting their outfits, and girls posting their own dollhouses.

All kinds of fun.

And this time the launch of the cloud printer is actually more far-reaching.Because in the coming time, the number of registered users of various design industries on the future platform will increase significantly, and many of them will go for the simple and easy-to-use models.Then, after someone understands some transaction settings of the platform, they will design a few practice drafts and put them up, and enrich and enrich the homepage casually, which will become a platform for more advertisements and displays.

After more than a month like this, the overall scale of the future platform has increased a bit, and there are more and more event designers.

In the early days of Xingze's platform, most of them were painters and copywriters, and later a group of professional or amateur fashion designers surged.For a while, practitioners of architectural design and interior design also poured in sporadically, but it was not until the emergence of cloud printing technology that this group of users finally saw a spurt of growth.

The virtual trading platform finally took shape.

And this was Lin Shu's earliest idea.

Lin Shu's goal at the beginning was not in the game materials or software modules, but in the profits from various design patents and copyright transactions.Novels, games, software, commercial sketches... These are of course also part of the target products, but he has a higher goal.

That's the various design patents and copyright deals.
