VM is an abbreviation.
Its full name is a vital sign monitor, which is standard for almost all shelters.
However, this was the first time Chu Guang saw it.
In fact, the function of this thing is far more than just vital sign monitoring, but it is more like a wrist-mounted computer that integrates physical examination, positioning, communication, maps and black box functions.
As if he was worried that Chu Guang would not know how to use it, the system provided the instruction manual thoughtfully and presented it to him in the form of a light blue pop-up window.
1 Monitor the wearer's vital signs activity, collect information including heart rate, breathing, blood pressure, blood oxygen concentration, hormones in sweat, DNA morphology, etc., and conduct comprehensive analysis of the collected information and present it in specific data form.
2 After monitoring the wearer's life activity disappears, the VM will automatically archive the end-of-life recordings in the cache data, and continuously send encrypted signals containing relative distance and orientation information through the sender in the chip, so as to facilitate the recovery of search and rescue personnel.
The 3VM equipment can intermittently emit lasers of specific frequencies within a certain range, conduct three-dimensional surveying and mapping of indoor space, with a maximum mapping radius of 5m, and will attenuate due to the influence of air humidity and dust particles.
This function is very useful when exploring buildings. Large obstacles such as walls, doors, boxes, etc. can be marked out, and the data can be shared after uploading.
The 4VM's power supply is provided by a thermally sensitive battery, which can be charged under light conditions or near a heat source such as a fire. Under low battery conditions, it can absorb the natural heat emitted by the wearer and slowly charge it, and automatically switch to energy-saving mode to run the device at minimum power.
In addition to the commonly used functions mentioned in the manual, Chu Guang also learned through Xiaoqi that in principle, all VM devices can be recompiled through compiler programs.
In other words, if the hardware itself allows, just add a few very useful plug-ins to these VMs, Chu Guang can know where each player is, what he is doing, and even hear what they say.
I'll go, this thing is a bit powerful!
No.
It's simply too strong!
Chu Guang is willing to call it the Emperor's Happy Watch!
Then everyone is allowed to pick it up!
No, wait...
Chu Guang, who had been excited for a few seconds, quickly calmed down.
Think about it carefully, if I force players to tie a cell phone on my arms, wouldn’t it seem like I was forcing them to do things?
People all have a rebellious mentality.
And free things will never be cherished.
Looking at the VM in his hand, Chu Guang touched his chin and thought to himself.
To be honest, this wrist-mounted computer... cannot be cheaper than the raider's bad gun, right?I think it costs at least 30 silver dollars.
Xiaoqi raised the camera.
But master, is this kind of VM said to be very common in shelters?Moreover, considering the convenience of maintenance and durability, the technical content is actually not very high...
Chu Guang: Well, it’s better to have 40 silver coins per piece, and you need to reach the citizenship level to buy it.
Xiaoqi: ...Master?
Chu Guang turned around and looked at Xiaoqi standing next to him.
Xiaoqi, do me a favor. I want to add some functions to these VMs. Can it be done?
Xiaoqi was obviously stunned.
...It is ok, as long as the hardware conditions allow, but what specific functions do you want to add to it?
Properties panel!task bar!map!Chat window!
Is it still a game without these things?
Many players have complained about the level and experience that they can only view the level and experience when they are offline. They cannot open the character interface at any time to view the level, experience, abnormal status and gain effects. So what is the difference between it and the junk game Earth OL?
Another point of complaint is the task system.
Although I am not writing on wooden boards or plastic boards, but instead I am changing it to paper-stick wooden boards, the essence has not changed, and it is still too troublesome to check the progress of the task completion.
And the most important thing is that it is too wasteful of paper!
This is not environmentally friendly.
As for the map function, it is a surprise.
Chu Guang didn't expect that this VM would be so awesome and also brought laser surveying and mapping. In the future, players would take it to pick up scatters, which would be equivalent to exploring the map for the shelter.
And it is clear where you have searched or where you haven’t. Those hidden spaces and secret passages that are easily overlooked can be exposed more easily, and the efficiency of picking up scavengers has been increased by more than twice!
The most important thing is that allowing players to automatically upload maps also saves Chu Guang's own considerable workload.
Before, the map was explored by players.
For example, a player who was doing a scavenger mission went to a place on the pre-war map, and after returning, he told the manager what was going on now.
What needs to be said here, including, but not limited to, what changes have occurred in the terrain?Are there many alien species?Is there any trace of people's activities or something like that.
This job sounds easy, but it is really tormenting to execute. A hundred mouths can tell a hundred different versions.
Some people have a very poor sense of direction, so they just go there but are not the place they point on the map, but they are talking serious. Chu Guang was so angry that he heard it.
Now that we have VMs, we finally don’t have to listen to these sculptors and dictate the road conditions on the wasteland.I'll be done as soon as I uploaded it. I can also synchronize the explored map data to the official website database.
This work doesn't even require players to take the initiative.
Chu Guang directly asked Xiaoqi to operate it automatically for them.
The attribute panel, task system, and map are all easy to talk about... However, the chat window is a bit difficult. Although the VM has a sender, it is not a dedicated communication chip.There is no problem with sending and receiving text messages and updating the task panel near the shelter, but it will be a little troublesome if you are a little farther away.
This way.
Chu Guang touched his chin and said for a moment.
Then there is no hurry to chat function for the time being. First develop the three functions of the attribute panel, tasks, and map. I will find you a few templates to use in a while.
The functions are incomplete, and the development is also a complaint to the netizens of the sand sculpture. It is better to wait until it is improved later.Besides, there are now squares and official websites, which are enough to brag for those players.
Good master!
Looking at Xiao Qi who was full of energy, Chu Guang nodded with satisfaction and turned back to the B1 floor.
The wasteland time is now three o'clock in the morning, and the real world is three o'clock in the afternoon, which is the time when there are the fewest players in the game.
It's also the best time to update!
Walking to the computer in the residential hall and sitting down, Chu Guang yawned and took out his small notebook from the drawer and opened it, then opened the text document for the material.
Everything is ready, only ctrlv and c are missing.
Chu Guang moved his fingers and a smile appeared on his face.
It’s time to plan what you should do!

……
There is a lot of content this time.
If you don’t brag about it for a while, and say in detail, Chu Guang always worried that the players would feel that their plan was not working.
Still the old rules.
After sending the update announcement, Chu Guang immediately posted the edited developer log.
"Developer Log: Alpha05 Version"
Guang: Hello everyone, I am your dear planner!After squeezing out the five technical team engineers, our server finally changed from potatoes to horn potatoes!Now that it can accommodate 200 players to enter the server at the same time, aren’t you very happy?Are you very excited?Go and check out your backend mailbox!Dedicated applause to the European emperors!
The biggest change in this version update is mainly the attribute panel that the previous closed beta players have called the most!Task Panel!And an extra bonus map function!Are you very happy?
I'm as happy as you guys!Under the temptation of roasted potatoes, the programmers of the development department finally understood what we wanted.
Of course, please don't be too happy too early.For the sake of player gaming experience and game authenticity, we finally made a decision after five days and five nights of department meetings to integrate this part of the function into a special prop called ‘Vision Sign Monitor (VM)’.
After reaching the citizenship level, players only need to pay 40 silver coins to purchase the prop.Due to the special nature of this prop in the setting, each player is limited to one, and it is bound to the account, and cannot be unbound or transferred.If your teammate is unfortunately killed, remember to take back his VM, otherwise the shelter can only deduct 10 silver coins from his account for the reward for the ‘device recycling’ mission.
As long as you are in the shelter or near the sanatorium, the VM can connect to the shelter server to complete the task acquisition operation.
In addition to the taskbar, the most core function of VM is the property panel!Through a small screen, you can easily view the development progress of the gene sequence, character attributes, gain or debuff effects, as well as contribution points and identity levels.
Of course, there is no need to show your contribution points at all. VM itself is a symbol of identity and strength!Because in our setting, only the ‘citizens’ who have made outstanding contributions to shelter deserve this honor.And having it will also mean that you will no longer be a rookie from now on, but a warrior who is truly qualified to venture into the wasteland!
In addition, the laser mapping function carried by the VM itself can accurately capture obstacles and walls at close range for you and upload map data to the shelter server.Even if you are a roadblock, you can find your way home. Your mother will no longer have to worry about you getting lost in the wasteland!
Click to upload.
Get it done!
Chu Guang stretched, pushed the chair away and stood up.
He stayed up late for two days until dawn, and even his body was hard to bear.
This time he planned to sleep until noon and try to adjust his work and rest.
Thinking of this, Chu Guang looked at Xiao Qi squatting in the corner of the wall.
Xiaoqi, it will be time to come, don’t forget to call Xia Yan to get up.
OK, master.
After explaining the last thing, Chu Guang happily went back to the next room to sleep.
Just as Chu Guang was sleeping soundly, the discussion on the Alpha05 version on the official website was almost impossible to stop!
