Jiang Qiao went offline from the Holy Spirit, then sat on the sofa in the living room browsing through various posts on the player community's Holy Spirit section.
Hai Lan sat beside him, happily eating garlic butter lobster worth one hundred and eight yuan.
Currently, the server capacity for the Holy Spirit is three thousand one hundred and seventy-three people, with an average daily increase of three hundred to five hundred people.
Two-thirds of the players are still hovering around levels one to ten, with only about four hundred players who can actually form a combat force.
In terms of energy acquisition, Jiang Qiao now gets about five hundred to seven hundred points of energy per day from the Tower Dimension, with the current Creation Energy being fourteen thousand three hundred and twenty-one points.
Currently, the map size of the Holy Spirit is around two hundred and sixty-one square kilometers. The expansion space obtained from the first invaded dimension was directly invested in real estate by Jiang Qiao, which means player manors.
Now, Jiang Qiao's plan was to create a hidden dimension within Blue Star, so that when monsters from invaded dimensions appear on Blue Star, they first enter this hidden dimension to have passionate interactions with the players.
"Enhanced Reality Technology? What's that?"
Hai Lan's cherry-red lips were covered with various oils, and she spat out a shrimp shell while speaking.
"AR technology and three-dimensional projection technology. In the most straightforward way, it means projecting game characters into reality using projections."
Jiang Qiao exited the player community forum and started searching for information related to virtual projection on a search engine.
Although the technology on Blue Star is already eight years ahead of Earth, some technical problems have yet to be solved. For instance, three-dimensional projection technology is still considered a difficult problem on Blue Star.
AR technology has developed very maturely on Blue Star. Two-dimensional projection is already a common technology on Blue Star and even on Earth, but three-dimensional projection still doesn't exist on Blue Star.
"What's the specific use?" Hai Lan, despite being somewhat clueless about smart technologies, was curious, especially since there were mechanics in the Holy Spirit game as a class.
But the mechanics in the Holy Spirit belonged to that type of "I think this Gundam can work so it must be able to work," a job that defies the laws of physics. The various skills of mechanics were materialized by Holy Spirit without any scientific basis.
Such reasoning can also be applied to other ultra-science fiction classes in the Holy Spirit.
"The specific use is that the monsters from invaded dimensions will still appear on the streets, and the figure of Holy Spirit players fighting monsters will also appear on the real streets. But these scenes will only be three-dimensional projections, a game event in the eyes of passersby. To the players, it's just another abyss hunting activity. To the monsters, it's their doomsday," Jiang Qiao said.
"But you said... no one in this dimension has made such three-dimensional projection technology yet." Hai Lan said while disassembling the head of a small lobster.
"It hasn't been made yet, but someone is researching it, and has been for many years."
Jiang Qiao closed the search engine on his phone and directly opened his contact directory, finding a very familiar number.
"Judging by your expression, you are waiting for me to ask who it is? Could it be someone you know?" Hai Lan said vaguely with a mouthful of lobster shell.
"Yes, very familiar... it's my father."
Jiang Qiao picked up his phone and showed the name on the contact number.
"Qiao An? Aren't people in this country supposed to follow their father's surname? Why is your father's surname Qiao while yours is Jiang?" Hai Lan had some knowledge about this world.
"Because my dad married into the Jiang Family."
Jiang Qiao previously mentioned that some of his relatives worked in the government, and his father was just an ordinary student who met Jiang Qiao's mother in university. After some bumps and hurdles, they ended up together. Then his father cheerfully married into the Jiang Family.
Now Jiang Qiao's father has graduated for many years and has been dedicated to researching three-dimensional projection technology at a technology company in Hua Country.
"So what's the plan? Tell your father the knowledge about three-dimensional projection technology?" Hai Lan didn't know whether she had related knowledge in creator mode.
"No need, and creator mode can't achieve that," Jiang Qiao said truthfully. The laws of Blue Star and the Holy Spirit dimension are different; some technologies from Blue Star cannot be used in the Holy Spirit dimension.
Those high-tech professions in the Holy Spirit game were all based on an "I think" mindset. Simply put, they were pseudo-technologies. In game terms, they have textures, skill effects, and damage, but there's nothing inside the model.
"Then how will you get your father to create three-dimensional projection technology?"
Hai Lan took another bite of the lobster shell. During this time with Jiang Qiao, she had come to understand that creators are not omnipotent.
"Have you heard of the Eureka moment?"
"Oil what?"
"Eureka, it means inspiration." Jiang Qiao pointed to his head. "Many human inventions are based on a momentary inspiration. The Eureka moment itself is about finding a solution in a chaotic random event, a feeling akin to divine inspiration."
"You plan to give your father inspiration?" Hai Lan understood, but her mouth was stuffed with three small lobsters, making speaking difficult.
"Yes, humans... or rather, we have unlimited potential. I'll just give my father a push."
Jiang Qiao said, dialing his father's number. During the call, his pupils gradually turned a pale gold color.
"Jiang Qiao? I told you I majored in material science in university, not finance. Asking me about your postgraduate entrance exam won't help," came a complaint from the other side of the phone instantly.
"I just wanted to ask how your project development is going." Jiang Qiao was used to his father's unfilial character.
"Project? The same as usual, lacking funds, lacking manpower. Recently, I saw Eagle Country claiming they made three-dimensional projection, but when I went to check it out, it was all nonsense. What I want to make is..." Qiao An seemed to have had a bit to drink, and not a small amount. When Jiang Qiao asked about his project, he started ranting.
"Father, I want something from you. I remember it starts with forty-two." Jiang Qiao casually mentioned a magical number, a sentence imbued with Creation Energy.
Jiang Qiao didn't alter the world's rules; he simply allowed his father to enter an unprecedented state of inspiration, the kind felt when Watt invented the steam engine, or Benz thought of inventing the automobile, a state of inspiration explosion.
"What thing? Wait, I got it! Also, Jiang Qiao, for your mom's sake, follow up with postgraduate studies for me. I have things to do! Bye, bye!"
Qiao An's voice sounded exceptionally excited. After speaking, he hung up, leaving Jiang Qiao to wait and see if his father could really break through the barrier of three-dimensional projection technology during this inspiration torrent.
