As Liang Gong approached, she saw Lin Feng sitting beside the wreckage of the warship, intently fiddling with a virtual warship model in his hands.
"What are you doing?"
"Assemble the warships."
Lin Feng put down his work and began to introduce the game developed by SG Company to Liang Gong.
"The gameplay involves assembling warships and then having players race in space while piloting their assembled warships. Because the physics engine is close to reality, this game can not only expand players' creativity but also provide some novel warship design ideas for the real world."
Glancing at the wreckage of the warship next to Lin Feng, Liang Gong asked curiously, "Did you design this warship too? Why is it so badly damaged?"
Lin Feng coughed slightly, feeling a little awkward, and replied, "I just started playing this game today, and I don't know much about spaceship design. The spaceship I just cobbled together was destroyed by other players as soon as I entered the Brawl Simulation Zone. I'm thinking of redesigning a more powerful warship."
"Then let me give it a try."
Liang Gong took the virtual warship model from Lin Feng and started fiddling with it.
"Don't be in such a hurry. This game is very hardcore. You should finish the tutorial first and understand the internal structure of the spaceship. Otherwise, the spaceship will start to fall apart as soon as it's put into the simulation environment... Hmm?"
[Battleship stats break records! Congratulations to player Liang Gong for earning the 'Pioneer' title!]
While Lin Feng was stunned by the electronic voice, Liang Gong brought the warship she had designed to life.
"finished."
"This...this is a warship?"
Lin Feng stared in disbelief at what came into view. The supposedly futuristic warship was just a square object that looked like a shipping container.
……
In the chaotic battle simulation area, several warships painted black were crouching at the spot where Lin Feng had just been killed.
"That newbie got beaten up badly, boss. Did we go a bit too far?"
"You don't know anything! This is tradition, you know? Newcomers need to be disciplined right away, or they'll get too cocky." The bratty kid called 'Boss' rang out in the channel.
"Boss, that new guy has come in again!"
Hearing his companion's reminder, the mischievous child noticed the fluctuations in the space.
To create a sci-fi feel, SG will display a spacetime ripple effect when each warship enters the arena.
This special effect has now become a reminder mechanism for some people to wait for opportunities to come to them.
"Everyone, get ready, go...wait?"
Before he could finish speaking, the brat was shocked to find himself back in the white space of the redesigned warship, surrounded by a pile of rotten wreckage fragments.
"Hey! Fatty, how did I die?"
"Boss, I don't know, I just suddenly died too."
"Boss, check the game channel! Something terrible has happened!"
The mischievous child quickly opened the public channel, which immediately descended into chaos as a bunch of people were asking who killed them and what had happened.
"Are there any survivors in the Brawl Simulation Zone? If you are, say something."
"squeak……"
"What happened? How did we die?"
"You might not believe it, but you were killed by a shipping container."
Before the players could even react, another bombshell announcement nearly made their eyes pop out of their sockets.
"Oh my god! The official space fortress has been blown up by shipping containers!"
Chapter 52 Pseudo-Light Speed Spaceship
Knight William was in a great mood today because he felt he had it all figured out.
There's no reason for it to be unstable, because he completely followed Feng Taylor's framework and designed an ingenious system that not only unleashed the students' creativity and expanded their three-dimensional thinking, but also allowed some of their sudden, imaginative designs to help the space fleet.
Kill four birds with one stone!
What is stability? This is stability!
All they need to do is wait for Feng Taylor's approval, and their SG company can confidently go public and take the lead in virtual education. Even if they can't achieve a monopoly, they can still become the industry leader.
Then, we can hype it up in the stock market, and another large sum of money will come in, recouping the initial investment.
Just as Knight Williams was dreaming of recouping his investment through the IPO, a shipping container suddenly appeared and shattered his dream.
It was a container that defied all scientific logic.
It can instantly accelerate from zero speed to the highest threshold of light speed in the game, but its size is very small and it has no nozzle engine. The projectiles it fires are also at the speed of light. According to the physics engine's interpretation, no material in the game can resist an attack that reaches the speed of light. The kinetic energy of a light-speed mass is infinite, so even the official space fortress cannot withstand the light-speed projectiles from the container.
There was no reaction force during the acceleration process. Logically speaking, if this thing could accelerate to the speed of light instantly, it should have been crushed by now!
Knight William broke out in a cold sweat. He remembered the Wallfacer's requirement for him: the game's physics engine had to be realistic.
William considered using backend manipulation to kick the container and the player out of the game, but when he saw the familiar yet awe-inspiring ID name among the players operating the container, the president of SG felt even more desperate.
If he dares to do that now, he might not see the sun rise tomorrow.
"How did this thing do that? Why is that shipping container able to wreak havoc? What's going on?"
"If you can't give me an answer, then you're all getting out of here today!"
The SG president slammed his fist on the table in anger; he had never been so furious before.
Soon, the three-dimensional blueprint of the container designed by Suzumiya was presented to William. After seeing the internal structure of the container, William couldn't help but widen his eyes and gasp.
"It really is a shipping container?!"
"What's going on? Why would a shipping container be involved in such an outrageous situation?"
William had thought countless times about what was hidden inside the container that shattered his dreams, but he never imagined that it was actually a hollow container!
And the material is just ordinary steel plate, the kind that would break if hit by a shell!
"That's the reason."
The programmers quickly found the reason.
It was a vector propulsion engine that was constantly churning, shrunk to the size of a matchbox and placed at the center of the six sides of a shipping container.
"The container's designers exploited a loophole in the game's physics engine. The physics engine couldn't read this kind of bizarre motion, so the system automatically classified it as a negative value, thus giving the container a negative momentum value in the game system."
"When a container with positive momentum crosses zero and reaches the other side, the physics engine automatically interprets it as the speed of light," the programmer explained.
This is the secret to how a shipping container can easily reach the speed of light from zero. With this kind of engine, you can easily reach the speed of light in a game by consuming the energy of just one matchbox.
"What about inertia? Doesn't there be inertia when accelerating to the speed of light instantly?" William asked, still unwilling to give up.
The programmer replied helplessly, "President, our game's physics engine only approximates reality, it's not reality. Nobody has ever thought about moving momentum from positive to negative, so we haven't written any code for that. As you know, it's impossible for matter with mass to accelerate to the speed of light, let alone a design that breaks the law of conservation of energy."
One person added dejectedly, "If this kind of container ship were brought into our reality, it would just be an ordinary container with no combat value, but in the game, it's a super battleship capable of fighting at the speed of light."
……
"666, a light-speed spaceship!"
"I heard that newbies are all pros. I didn't believe it before, but now I do. I'll never dare to bother newbies again."
"Amazing! Light-speed container! Light-speed projectile!"
"Newbie to the pro, I'm bowing down to you for a year, please accept this."
Lin Feng stared speechlessly at the game's public chat channel. He never imagined that the container that Liang Gong had built could dominate the game.
After learning from Liang Gong that the container was merely a bug in the game's physics engine that created this illogical effect, Lin Feng's interest in the container quickly vanished.
A shipping container can't hold water droplets; it would break down in reality, since reality doesn't have a physics engine.
What a pity, what a real pity...
For a fleeting moment, Lin Feng thought humanity could roam the universe like in the third book of the original story, but then...
Are you dissatisfied with this game?
Noticing that Lin Feng seemed a little down, Liang Gong couldn't help but ask.
Lin Feng stroked his chin and pondered for a while, "It's alright, although there are some unsatisfactory aspects, such as this container bug, but at least it's much better than those games I previously requested to be taken down."
"At least the fun and educational aspects are guaranteed. The game has also put a lot of effort into other areas. In order to entice players to expand their knowledge in other areas, the available materials are deliberately limited. If players want to build a large spaceship, they need to go to a simulated planet or asteroid mineral belt, identify and obtain minerals to refine."
"Mineral refining efficiency is also very low. If players want to improve refining efficiency, they need to learn relevant smelting techniques and build their own refining plants."
"Trading is prohibited in this game. Players can only acquire the resources they want through their own abilities. Only by constantly and actively learning can they mobilize more resources to build warships."
"This game may not be the best, but it is a 'standard'. I believe that with this standard, many similar virtual games will appear in the future."
Lin Feng was quite satisfied with the game developed by SG. Even though Liang Gong found a bug in the game not long after entering it, it still did not detract from its overall excellence.
"It seems you're quite satisfied with this game."
Lin Feng didn't notice the hint of disappointment that flashed in Liang Gong's eyes.
"What could I possibly be dissatisfied with in a game that allows me to learn knowledge and contribute to the development of civilization?"
Lin Feng shrugged, recalling Liang Gong's earlier rampage, and couldn't help but feel admiration. He then changed the subject.
"But you're really amazing, Haruhi Suzumiya. You've only been playing this game for a short time and you've already developed this kind of warship."
Liang Gong said, "There's nothing special about it. It's just that we approach it differently. Other players think about how to do better within the known rules, while I look for loopholes in the game's creator and exploit them. After all, a game is just a game, and no program is perfect."
Chapter 53 Why is it this guy again?
After parting ways with Liang Gong, Lin Feng accepted the invitation from the president of SG to enter the social space.
As soon as he entered, he saw Knight William's expression, as if he was about to cry.
After quickly sorting out his thoughts, Lin Feng understood that the other party was probably worried that the game developed by his company would be taken down.
"This game still has many shortcomings, especially in terms of the physics engine, which is not satisfactory."
"You're right, you're absolutely right..."
"However, it's still usable, albeit barely. You can further improve the game's physics engine and send it to educational institutions so they can use it as the standard for 'learning games.' If they object, just say it's my request."
Upon hearing Lin Feng's words, Knight William, who had thought that the game his company had developed was also facing removal from the market, was suddenly stunned, his sorrow turning to joy.
