Chapter 154 It turns out you also play

Eight o'clock in the morning, Tianba Studio.

When Chen Ba woke up early in the morning, he saw Brother Dong sitting in front of the computer, staring at the screen in a daze.

"Brother Dong, what's wrong?"

"Come and see this..."

Chen Ba walked behind Brother Dong and leaned down to look at the computer screen.

Not much content was displayed on the screen, only an email. The content of the email was very long, but most of it was accusations and abuses after breaking the defense.

This email came from an automotive R\u0026D engineer who was mercilessly fired by the company.

He is young and progressive.

Young people like him should have a bright future. Perhaps in many years, they will become the leader of a team and leave their own mark in the industry.

But now, everything has been ruined by "Speed" and Tianba Studio.

Within the company, he is responsible for the evaluation and testing of new car body structures. The design department comes up with a specific first draft, and he and his colleagues conduct various tests on the car.

There are many people like him.

A new car in the engineering research and development stage requires many tests before the execution plan can be finalized. As for mass production, that is a long time coming.

In the email, the young man claimed to work for a large car company with a team of nearly 200 people.

However, since the advent of the "Huiba Auto" and the sale and delivery of the Huiba S1, his team has repeatedly laid off employees and reduced its size, ultimately leaving less than 50 people.

Unfortunately, he is also on the layoff list.

The development of AI technology made him imagine that one day in the future, his job would be replaced by AI, but he never dreamed that this day would come so quickly.

And what's replacing him is not AI, it's just a game...

No, why?

Can a game replace their jobs? What kind of world is this? Why can a game that only costs 128 yuan cost him a job with a monthly salary of tens of thousands?

He broke his guard.

He felt that the company leaders were confused and could not distinguish between the virtual game world and the real game world.

He also feels that Tianba Studio has done a lot of harm to the industry by producing games like "Speed".

So, he wrote this email, from the perspective of a victim and ordinary consumer, denounced the actions of Tianba Studio and the irresponsibility of the car companies.

certainly!

The target of his criticism is Huiba Automobile. He believes that this kind of company that does not undergo strict testing and purely relies on "games" to build cars is completely making fun of consumers' lives.

In his exact words.

The S1 produced by Huiba has not gone through such complex and rigorous real-life tests. It dares to create it based on a bunch of fictitious game data and sell it to consumers. Isn't this a disregard for human life?

"Is there a possibility..."

"Since Huiba S1 can be sold to the public, does it mean that it has passed a series of safety tests and quality tests?"

After reading the content of the email, Chen Ba expressed sympathy for the young man who was shot innocently.

But sympathy is sympathy, don't spread rumors!

Who said that the cars manufactured by Huiba are making fun of consumers’ lives? Who said that the cars produced by Huiba cannot pass a series of tests in reality?

Building a car through a game sounds ridiculous and unreliable.

But the physics engine of "Speed" is not as powerful as these people can imagine. If the Huiba S1 is really unreliable, the relevant departments will not allow this car to go on the road.

But then again.

Like this young man, there are actually not a few people who question whether "Speed" really has that ability and whether the Huiba S1 is safe enough.

Chen Ba forwarded the email to Hu Hui word for word.

Soon, Huiba Auto officials invited the young man who broke the defense, as well as the majority of automotive media and bloggers UP, to conduct multiple rounds of tests on Huiba S1 in a national laboratory in China Shipping based on international standards.

Results prove!

The results obtained by the test in reality are exactly the same as those obtained by the test in the game.

Even in the crash test, the degree of collision damage measured by Huiba S1 in real life was slightly better than that in the game.

As soon as the results of this comparative test came out, the young man was convinced and finally understood why his company laid off so many people.

This crappy game is really good!

The results are all before our eyes. What is in the game is what it is in reality. Faced with such a powerful physics engine, what can others say?

Moreover.

If he really wants to break the defense, it will not be his turn to break the defense, because the most vulnerable industry is actually the auto repair industry...

In the past, when everyone repaired a car, they could only roughly estimate how much it would cost to repair the car based on the damage. There was no particularly accurate price. Usually, you would go to a 4S shop or repair shop to find out how much it would cost.

But it's different now.

It's hard to say for other accidents, after all, the parts and parts involved are different. For any accident involving a collision or scratch, "Speed" players can quote the price at a glance.

The error generally does not exceed 200 yuan!

Don't ask, just asking means you are experienced. After all, your driving skills may not have improved much by playing the game "Assault", but you will definitely be very good at repairing cars.

…

Xiao Xuan, 27 years old this year.

It is said that shortly after he was born, the fortune teller said that he lacked fire in the five elements. His father planned to name him Xiao Yan, but his grandfather later persuaded him, saying that the word "fire was too strong" and he was worried that he would not be able to suppress it.

Hence the word Xuan.

Thinking about it now, he felt it was a pity. If his grandfather had not persuaded him to give him this name, he might have traveled to Dou Qi Continent and become a young boy again to climb the peak.

But then again.

It's a blessing in disguise, but it's not a blessing!

Although he lost an opportunity to travel to another world and become Emperor Yan, he is living a good life now.

The old man at home said he missed his grandson, so Xiao Xuan got up early this morning and drove to his hometown with his wife and children.

The whole journey was at high speed and we arrived quickly.

But not long after getting off the highway, Xiao Xuan collided with a white car crossing the road on the national highway near his hometown.

Fortunately, the car was not going too fast and he was wearing a seat belt. There was just a dent in the door, but it was nothing serious other than scratching off some paint.

After the other party's full responsibility for the accident was clearly determined, because the other party didn't want to take insurance, they decided to go private.

"How about a thousand and a half?"

"Yo! Is it so accurate?"

"That's for sure. I play "Assault", and the damage to the car can be seen at a glance. The maximum cost of repairing the car is one thousand, and the rest will be regarded as my apology to you."

When he heard that the other party also played the game "Speed", Xiao Xuan was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "What a coincidence? I also play the game "Speed"!

When the two heard this, they started talking.

Because they are all veteran players, they have crashed in the game hundreds if not a thousand times. What kind of accidents have you not experienced?

Car damage like this can be done in the game for up to a thousand dollars, which is still expensive.

"No, you two have reached an agreement so quickly?"

Seeing that her husband settled the matter with the other party in just a few words, the daughter-in-law was a little surprised and said: "Why don't we find a professional car repairman to come and take a look?"

"Need not!"

Xiao Xuan was speechless: "Can I find a professional car repairman? I've played "Assault" for two to three hundred hours. Do I need someone to estimate the damage to this kind of car?"

Who do you look down on?

Even if he doesn't know how to repair, he can still do basic damage assessment like this. After all, he has crashed many times in the game and has too much practical experience.

The other party is also a player of "Speed".

So the negotiation went smoothly. After all, the damage to the car was obvious at a glance. Considering the cost of repairing the car in the game, it was not easy to negotiate the price in private.

It is impossible to blackmail people.

On the one hand, Xiao Xuan's education does not allow him to do such a thing. On the other hand, do you want to blackmail someone in front of a "Speed ​​Rush" player?

What kind of international joke are you kidding?

Everyone has repaired cars so many times in the game, and they already know the basic repair costs. If you don't understand this, wouldn't the game be in vain?

"You are just playing games and being crazy! If you repair a car in the game, is the price the same as repairing a car in reality?"

My wife is still very dissatisfied.

It's not that she wants to blackmail him, it's mainly because she thinks her husband handled it too hastily, and the price of the secret should be weighed again.

But now that it’s over, there’s nothing more to say.

After returning home and leaving the child with the old couple, Xiao Xuan took his wife out to the auto repair shop to repair the car and buy some food on the way.

"Is it really a thousand?!"

Xiao Xuan's wife was shocked when she heard that the quote from the repair shop was exactly the same as what her husband and the car owner said.

"I said it all."

Xiao Xuan raised his eyebrows and said: "I'm in RT-Mart...ah! I've repaired cars so many times in "The Fast", I know this better than anyone else."

"If he quoted one thousand, he would still make a profit. If he quoted more than one thousand, I would just turn around and leave. Do you believe it?"

"Ouch!"

The daughter-in-law rolled her eyes and said: "You are playing a game and you are confident, right?"

"So you don't understand!"

Xiao Xuan was too lazy to explain to his wife.

Only players who have played the game "Speed", such as the car owner who hit him, know where his confidence comes from.

The real physics engine is the main reason. Only the most realistic physics engine can let him know the approximate damage of the car after a crash.

Secondly, in the game, there is a completely realistic car repair process and a transparent price accessory system.

In other words.

For the same car damage situation, the difference between the real car repair cost and the game repair cost is only the "labor cost".

That's why he dared to say this.

He knew that if the car was damaged, a thousand dollars would be more than enough, and the car repairman would make a profit. If it's more than a thousand, he's being taken advantage of.

In the online mode of the game "Speed", there are many car repair shops opened by players.

Xiao Xuan, who often goes to these players' shops to repair cars, generally knows the standard of labor charges. That's why he said that if the store quoted more than a thousand dollars, he would turn around and leave.

"You people..."

When the old man who was repairing the car heard what the young couple said, he couldn't help but interjected: "I don't know where I learned this. Each one is better than the other."

"I met a young man yesterday, who was just like you. He told me a price and told me the specific cost of labor and parts replacement."

"The most outrageous thing is that when I was repairing the car, he told me that my skills were not up to par. He could repair it much faster than me in the game."

"There are sets of theoretical knowledge. I gave him the tools and asked him to repair them by himself. He told me that he didn't know how. He is not a car repairer..."

"Hahaha!"

Xiao Xuan lived in Bengbu.

You don't need to think about it to know that the buddy mentioned by the master is definitely a "Speed" player.

Only in this way can we explain why he knows so much and has so much theoretical knowledge, but he can't even figure out how to do car sheet metal.

"That game you guys are playing is called Kuangdang..."

"Speed!"

"Ah, yes, yes, fast and furious!"

The old master sighed and said: "This game is really harmful to people. Do you think that if you play like this, how will you be able to negotiate with others on the price of repairing your car in the future?"

Apart from not knowing how to repair the car himself, the car owner knows everything else. Even when he meets an auto mechanic apprentice, he can point at him and tell him how to dismantle and replace this place...

Oh my god!

The more the old man thought about it, the more uncomfortable he became. He felt that if things continued like this, the car repair industry would be doomed.

"No, most people just talk on paper. After reading the game guide, they have a set of theoretical knowledge, but it is exposed when they start to practice it."

Xiao Xuan explained.

Although some people in the community jokingly call the game "Speed" a "crash course in auto repair", it has trained hundreds of thousands of auto repair professionals for the motherland.

But among these people, except for a few players with strong hands-on ability, most of them are just talking on paper.

When repairing a car in the game, although the repair process and environment are restored, there is one thing that cannot be restored.

That is using a mouse and keyboard to repair a car, which is definitely different from using a wrench to repair a car in reality...

But the good news is.

Although everyone is not good at practice, after playing the game for a long time, the theory is really good. At least if you repair your car in real life, you won’t be tricked or ripped off.

This is also one of the biggest changes that games have brought to reality!

How did Xiao Xuan know these things before he played "Speed"? The most he could do was add some glass of water, change the air conditioning filter, and even change a tire.

But it's different now.

Now give him the tools, and he can complete simple operations such as changing and repairing tires independently.

For a slightly more complicated problem, as long as it does not involve precision parts, if you ask him to replace the assembly or something, he will most likely be able to replace it.

"You will teach me later."

While the old master was repairing the car, he told Xiao Xuan: "I brought two apprentices, and it was very hard to teach them. They still know nothing about it."

"I think about it now. Instead of spending time teaching them slowly, it's better to let them play the game you mentioned."

This teaching effect feels much better than his step-by-step teaching.

When teaching, he has to encounter suitable car models and vehicle conditions, and conduct targeted teaching. When playing this game, if you want whatever car condition you want, just go find a lamppost and hit it.

Can you only learn theory?

It’s not a bad idea! After mastering the theoretical knowledge, there are many practical opportunities in reality. Theory + practice, isn’t the learning efficiency much faster than it is now?
