When Shinji Mikami left Jinling, he was carrying a leather box in his hand. The box was filled with information about "Plants vs. Zombies", various paintings, and various data.
Regarding the name of the game, Shinji Mikami made a suggestion, saying that the new game could be bound to "Resident Evil", which would be beneficial to the promotion of the new game, and he also provided several names for Yu Dong to choose from.
However, Yu Dong still wants to draw a clear line between the new game and "Resident Evil" because he knows that binding it to "Resident Evil" may be beneficial to the promotion of the new game at first, but it will easily suffer backlash later.
In the end, Yu Dong decided to use the original name "Plants vs. Zombies".
When Shinji Mikami left, he also issued a military order to Yu Dong, saying that he would strive to complete the game within three months, and no more than six months at the latest. If it exceeded six months, he would resign.
Although "Plants vs. Zombies" is not a big-budget game, it is not that simple to make it. The reason why Shinji Mikami is so confident is entirely because Yu Dong has paved the way for them.
They have much less to do.
Of course, even if Shinji Mikami didn't finish the game within six months, Yu Dong wouldn't be able to let him resign. Such an outstanding talent cannot be compared with one game.
…
When Shinji Mikami was flying to the United States, a group of people were also flying towards China.
When it was reported on TV that the Mars base in Mangya was open to the public, Harnes said he wanted to visit it. After half a year of planning, he organized 40 people to book a reservation for the Mars base.
The Mars base currently only has twenty space capsules open to the public, and each space capsule can only sleep one person, but it doesn't matter, they can set up a tent when they get there.
Because the venue was reserved, the Mars base also sent a staff member to connect with them. The staff was very responsible, planning routes for them, helping them find cars, and renting tents for them.
Their trip lasted seven days in total. They first went to Dunhuang and visited the surrounding attractions, and then went to the Mars base on the fifth day.
On the afternoon of the fifth day, the minibus that Hanes and his crew took left Shuangse Lake and headed towards the Mars base.
"Look at that street sign."
When Hans heard someone talking about street signs, he looked out the window and saw a blue street sign in the distance with several Chinese characters written on it.
Before he could see clearly what these Chinese characters meant, someone shouted again: "Deep Space Road No. 1, this is Deep Space Road No. 1!"
The forty people who came to the Mars base this time are basically loyal readers of YU. Many of them have studied Chinese, so they can recognize Chinese characters.
Xu Guangwen, the tour guide responsible for taking them, heard them speaking Chinese and pursed his lips, as he was used to it.
Xu Guangwen was the tour guide contacted by the staff at the Mars base. He usually visited scenic spots around Dunhuang. The reason why the Mars base sought him out was because he had relatively good English skills and had a lot of experience in receiving foreign tourists.
When he received this order, Xu Guangwen also paid more attention to it. After all, there were forty people on the other side, and they were forty foreigners.
But after meeting, Xu Guangwen discovered that many of these foreigners could speak Chinese, and some of them spoke very fluently.
Not only that, several of them are very knowledgeable about Chinese culture and have obviously done their homework. They are very familiar with the local attractions and know the historical stories behind them.
Therefore, Xu Guangwen did not need to bother to introduce him, these foreigners had already enthusiastically helped him complete his work.
"Xu, is this the road built by Deep Space Company?" someone asked.
Xu Guangwen nodded, "Yes, behind this blue sign is Deep Space Highway 1. It was completely funded by Deep Space Company and is ninety-four kilometers long. At the end of the road is the Mars base. In addition, where we are now
It is a major road, with more than 200 kilometers of it jointly funded by the Deep Space Company and the government, and is now open to traffic."
"No wonder, this road is much better than the previous road in Dunhuang." Harnes said with a smile.
"The newly built road is of course good. After you have played here, don't you want to go to Jinling? The road over there is better. I went there once at the end of last year and the changes were very big. The high-rise buildings in Hexi are like mushrooms after rain.
The same thing keeps popping out, and you will definitely be surprised when you take a look."
After hearing Xu Guangwen's description, Harnes and others were not very interested.
No matter how many buildings there are in Jinling, they can't have more buildings than New York. When they go to Jinling, they mainly go to the Deep Space Park to see and feel the cultural atmosphere there. If they want to see high-rise buildings, they don't go anywhere and just go around Manhattan.
Just turn it around and it'll be fine.
I heard that well-known authors can often be seen in the deep space park, such as Yu Hua, Bi Feiyu, and Liu Cixin are all regular guests, as well as Clézio and Joyce who also often appear. Harnes and the others went there this time.
I really want to meet a writer by chance.
Xu Guangwen saw that Haines and the others were not interested in the high-rise buildings in Jinling, so he changed the topic to the Mars base. "At this time of the year, in the evening, the Mars base is very beautiful. The tents you are staying in tonight, the base staff have already
I’ve set it up for you. Once you get there, you can rest for a while and then come out to enjoy the scenery when the sun goes down.”
"I heard the base is adding a Mars rover?" Harnes asked.
Xu Guangwen smiled and nodded, "I heard that there is this plan. It seems to be done in cooperation with a certain car company."
"Do you know what this rover looks like?" Harnes asked again.
"I don't know." Xu Guangwen shook his head, and then said, "But I heard from Yang Gong at the base that the Mars rover looks the same as the space rover in "The Martian."
"Is it?"
Hearns raised his eyebrows. Although "The Martian" has not been released yet, a space vehicle appears in the released poster.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Someone in the team who knows more about cars said, "I also noticed the space car in the poster. The design is very interesting and close to reality. That car adopts
It adopts a modular design and is composed of a six-by-six chassis module and a cockpit module. It is somewhat similar to a pickup truck, which is commonly known as a non-load-bearing body. The front half houses the cockpit, and the rear half can be used to carry cargo or carry different types of vehicles.
Character equipment module. I think that if we really land on Mars later, it is okay to use this design. Of course, the poster only has one picture. Only after watching the movie can we learn more details about this car. The movie
There will definitely be functions inside.”
Hans smiled and said: "The ones made here at the base should only have a similar appearance, and definitely not have other functions."
"Of course, I hope that when the car comes out, we can do it again and feel the thrill of driving a space car."
"There will be a day." Xu Guangwen said with a smile, "I heard from Yang Gong that this car is already being worked on. If we just ask for a similar appearance, it shouldn't take too long. Oh, by the way, when we set off this morning
,Gong Yang told me that he has a surprise for you."
"What's the surprise?" Haines asked.
"I don't know exactly what the surprise is. He didn't tell me. Besides, even if I knew, I couldn't tell you. Otherwise, how could it be called a surprise?"
Hearing what Xu Guangwen said, Hans and the others became interested and discussed what the surprise that Yang Gong was talking about was.
As they discussed, the car slowly approached the Mars base.
It didn't take long for people to see the Mars base located in a canyon.
Looking at the Mars base from a distance, one of them said, "President, I didn't feel much at first, but now that I see the base, I really feel like I'm on Mars."
Xu Guangwen smiled and said, "The light is not right now. If the light is right, it will feel better."
They all know that Mars is farther from the sun than the Earth is from the sun, so the daytime on Mars appears darker, and the sun even emits blue light at sunset.
The sunshine in Mangya is quite strong at this time in the afternoon, so it feels a bit worse.
After sunset, when the light becomes weaker, you will definitely feel better when you look at the base.
Although we saw the base, the car still drove for a while before we arrived at the base.
Two buses stopped at the entrance of the base, and Xu Guangwen arranged for everyone to collect their luggage and prepare to go inside the base.
But as soon as they got off the bus, a robot "walked" out of the base.
Cady's sharp eyes spotted the robot immediately, "Wow, it turns out to be WALL-E."
Everyone looked in the direction that Cady pointed, and saw a broken robot with two big eyes "walking" this way.
Wall-E walked up to everyone, tilted his head first, and then said, "Welcome to Mars. Please follow me to put your luggage."
Cady walked around WALL-E in amazement, "This workmanship is much more exquisite than it looks in the picture. Is this the one that appeared in the deep space park before? Or another one? Where does its sound come from? Is the speaker in
In the head?"
Wall-E glanced at Cady and said, "Please watch your steps. Also, it's impolite to stare at a robot like this."
Cady quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm just curious about you."
"I accept your apology."
Next, Wall-E took everyone to the space capsule first, and then to the tent.
After settling them in, Walli waved his hand coolly, "If you have any problems, just shout my name and I will show up to solve the problem for you."
After saying that, Walli walked away gracefully.
After Wall-E left, Kadi laughed and said, "This Wall-E's English has a strong Chinese accent, and he sounds a lot like Yang Gong."
Xu Guangwen smiled and said: "It should be Gong Yang. There are not many people in the base, and even fewer can speak English. Although the voice has been changed, the accent sounds like Gong Yang. The surprise he told me before must be WALL-E."
"
Harns nodded, "It's indeed a surprise. We went to the Deep Space Park for an important purpose, which was to see WALL-E. I didn't expect to see it here. Although I knew the size of WALL-E before, I really saw it.
, I still think he is big.”
"He must be very heavy, after all, his whole body is made of steel. But having said that, when WALL-E appears in the Mars base, it doesn't violate the rules at all. It feels like it belongs here." Cady said.
Harns laughed, "But in fact, WALL-E is a robot on Earth. Deep space sent WALL-E here, will he be responsible for receiving tourists in the future? If so, that would be quite interesting."
Cady suddenly patted his head and said, "By the way, I forgot to take a photo with Wall-E just now. I missed such a good opportunity."
Hans curled his lips and said, "There will be plenty of opportunities later. Wait until the sun sets before calling Wally out for a photo. Didn't he just say that if there is a problem, just shout his name."
…
In the evening, several more tourists came to the Mars base.
Although the space capsule requires a reservation, there is no need to make a reservation to come to the Mars base. As long as you are willing to set up a tent, you can drive over at any time.
The tourists who came were also very surprised to see a large group of foreigners at the base. After learning that they were members of the YU Umbrella Association, they quickly chatted together.
Harnes and the others also heard more things related to the base from these tourists. The reason why these tourists came directly without making a reservation for the space capsule was because they had been here once before and experienced the space capsule that time.
The experience is not bad, but the price is too high.
It is said that the space capsule was originally priced at US$350, but after it was actually opened, the price was set at RMB 1,000, which was much less than the US$350 initially rumored.
This price is the same all over the world, no matter where tourists come from, it is the same price, and there are no discounts for group purchases. If you come in a group like Hanes and others, it is still 1,000 yuan per person.
A one-thousand-yuan stay is unaffordable for most Chinese tourists.
Comparatively speaking, living in a tent is much more cost-effective. If you don’t bring a tent, you can live in a tent provided by the base for only 100 yuan per person per night.
In addition to the unique experience of living in a space capsule, the only advantage is that you can take a shower. In addition, the base will provide material packages for tourists living in the space capsule.
There aren't many things in the supply bag, they're all food and drink, and there's a lot of drinking water.
Although the Mars base looks boring, there are quite a lot of things you can do, the most popular of which is probably growing potatoes.
At the base, there is a room left over from the filming of "The Martian". There are many potatoes planted in it. When visitors come, they can also plant a potato in it.
Growing potatoes here in Mangya is much easier than on Mars, and you can basically succeed if you just plant them.
Because the base has such a project, potatoes are often included in the meals provided to tourists by the base.
