Chapter 372 Why does IOI have to be just a game company?

Aunt Alice's scumbag boyfriend complained about "Oasis", but his letter of complaint was like a stone's throw, and no one paid any attention to him.

After all, the death match itself is a game full of threats and challenges. If all players participating in the competition require the official "Oasis" to restore equipment or even provide compensation after death, how will the word "death" in the death match be reflected?
Besides, there were so many players competing in the same field, so why didn’t he know that other players quit after realizing they were invincible?

Distinguishing the situation is a matter of resourcefulness. If players die because they cannot distinguish the situation, they can only blame themselves for being stupid, and the "Oasis" official will not restore their equipment.

However, "Oasis" officials are conducting a technical analysis of the battleship that appears in the death match, because they have never arranged such a battleship in a death match, and the code for the battleship seems to have appeared out of thin air.

These codes are too complex, and like the physical rules in reality, they support the implementation of many effects extremely rigorously.

Programmers lack the relevant scientific knowledge to understand what these codes do.

These codes actually express all the technologies on the battleship in the form of computers. These technologies are far from the technological level of the Earth in "Ready Player One". Not to mention a group of programmers with different majors, even top mathematicians. It's also hard for physicists to understand.

Even if you see it clearly, it is impossible to reproduce it in reality, because digesting technological reserves requires supporting talents and industrial foundation.

The technological generation gap between the two sides is too large. Even if the scientists on Earth in "Ready Player One" understand the technology, they will have to wait hundreds of years for basic industry to catch up before they can use these technologies, and only a small part of them can be used.

Because the room-temperature superconducting ores, wormhole elements, and deformed metals on the battleship are all specialties, and the "Ready Player One" universe does not have them, so the technology related to these materials cannot be applied.

Although the parent company of "Oasis" did not understand these codes through research, it did not pass them on.

Halliday, the actual controller of "Oasis", faked his death and escaped. He handed over "Oasis" to his friend to operate it. His friend was as idealistic as him and had no idea of ​​leaking these magical codes that appeared out of thin air. .

He thinks the codes may be the latest work of his genius friend Halliday.

The parent company of Oasis has not said much more about the ship that suddenly appeared in deathmatch, but another organization is interested in the ship.

IOI
IOI is the second largest game company after the parent company of "Oasis". Its founder Nolan once worked for Halliday, but due to different ideas, he eventually parted ways with Halliday and created the infamous IOI.

IOI's concept is very special.

Nolan believes that the real world is a mess, and humans are willing to stay in the beautiful game world and are too lazy to care about the bad things in the real world. He can use his status in the game to extend his influence to reality and become something like a world ruler. Transcendental existence.

After Halliday made his last words, Nolan directed IOI to invest a lot of resources into "Oasis".

IOI established a giant game studio in "Oasis" and also established many contract centers around the real world. They recruited people into the studio with harsh terms and worked in the game to make money while looking for Halliday's easter eggs. .

IOI is full of interest in everything that can create economic value in "Oasis", and the mysterious battleship that breaks into the death match is no exception.

"Everyone!"

"This is a screenshot of the detection of live players!"

Nolan stood passionately in front of the PPT and introduced IOI's new discoveries and strategic adjustments to his shareholders.

There is a picture on the PPT.

[Unknown battleship spray-painted with UEG logo]

[Quality: Artifact]

[Introduction: This is a 40-kilometer-long space battleship. Because the battleship is equipped with a gravity generating device, it can enter the atmosphere and use anti-ship weapons to attack ground units (for snipers, I am a star destroyer cannon)] [Remarks : Incredible, the technology on this battleship seems to be achievable in reality]

"The technology on this battleship can be realized in reality!" Nolan was very excited, blood rushed to his upper body, and his face turned very red.

A shareholder frowned and said, "Nolan, this is just a game, and this note is just a gimmick. Do you believe it?"

Nolan raised his eyebrows and waved his hand disapprovingly: "I know Halliday. He will not let "Oasis" make notes on items at will. Since such notes appear, it is true!"

Nolan speaks volumes.

The shareholders looked at each other. They didn't believe that the technology of the battleships in the game could be transferred to reality. However, Nolan led IOI to create a lot of profits, and they believed in Nolan.

"Shareholders! Our outlet is here!"

Nolan opened and closed his upper and lower lips wildly, spittle flying: "No one has passed Halliday's racing test yet. If someone passes, we can spend money to buy him into IOI. There is no rush in this matter."

"Now we have something more important!"

"That battleship is still on the Death Planet. Next, I'm going to gather IOI's forces to knock that battleship down!"

"Then analyze the technology on the battleship and try to bring those technologies into reality!"

"Why does IOI have to be just a game company?" He pumped his fist, his excitement palpable.

As soon as these words came out, the shareholders were all stunned.

Why just be a game company?

But IOI is a game company!

"Nolan!" Another shareholder couldn't help but speak. He couldn't tolerate Nolan spending his investment money on a ridiculous project, and his tone was a little harsh, "The game is a game, and the battleships in the game are impossible. Moving into reality, do you need me to emphasize this to you?!”

Other shareholders echoed the sentiment.

They all felt that Nolan was mentally abnormal. He went crazy at the beginning of this shareholder meeting and even said that he wanted to bring the technology in the game into reality.

If the technology in the game could be used in reality, the sky would be filled with spaceships and mechas everywhere, and there would not be refugees with enough to eat and slums full of garbage.

In the eyes of shareholders, Nolan behaves as if he has not woken up from sleep and is still in a vague dream. This is sleepwalking!

Nolan took a deep breath.

He already knew that shareholders would not support him, but so what, he is the founder of IOI. Although he does not hold many shares, he has [-]% control over IOI, and everyone at IOI must listen to him. !
He could have done it himself without notifying the shareholders.

The reason why he mentioned this at the shareholders' meeting was that he hoped that shareholders would invest more money in him, because he had a hunch that it might be difficult to conquer the battleship on the Death Planet.

"Everyone! Please listen to me!"
