Build a game empire from scratch

The pair of eyes inside the door disappeared, and Lin You outside the door couldn't be controlled by this.

what's the situation? Am I knocking on the wrong door?

He took a step back and looked at the house number again.

Number 1702, right?

He took out his mobile phone and checked the text message, "17th floor, 1702".

Really right?

Fortunately, there was another sound of footsteps in the door, and the door chain was unlocked. The old man Liang Xingchang who I met downstairs that day opened the door.

"Xiaolin is here, come on, come in quickly."

"Mr. Liang, who opened the door just now?" Lin You looked around, but did not see anyone else.

Liang Xingchang led Lin You inside, and explained to him: "That's my little granddaughter Sisi, her mother's research project needs field investigations, and she often travels all over the country, and her father is too busy to go home, so she often comes to We live here. But she is more shy of strangers and doesn't dare to meet outsiders, so don't mind."

"Oh." Lin You nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

Walking into the old man's study room, Lin You found that it was like a handicraft workshop, except that the area where the bookshelves were located was relatively neat, and there were various drawings scattered on the table, both printed and hand-painted.

All kinds of wooden ancient building models are placed everywhere, and there is a pile of scattered parts in the middle of the study room, and there are two semi-finished models that have not yet been assembled.

One seems to be a drum tower, and the other is more obvious, it should be a temple.

Lin You leaned forward curiously, "Are you assembling these two pieces?"

"No, I am assembling the Drum Tower, and Sisi is putting together this temple."

"Are these drawings and models all made by you in person, according to the scale of real ancient buildings? This is too amazing!" Lin You admired this very much.

But he didn't want Liang Xingchang to shake his head with a smile, "It was okay a few years ago, but now that I'm old, I don't have the ability to run around the country. Now most of these materials are Si Si's mother, and there is a It was collected by a very powerful painter of ancient architecture."

Lin You looked around and found no familiar buildings at all, so he asked curiously: "Why didn't you see more famous ancient buildings? If you want to publicize, it's not the more famous and popular ancient buildings. Is the publicity better?"

Liang Xingchang continued to shake his head helplessly: "Most of the famous ancient buildings have fairly complete protection measures, and they will not be damaged for decades. However, many ancient buildings scattered among the people have not been paid attention to and protected, and they are decaying every day. , If you don’t record it now, you may not have a chance in the future.”

"Just like the painter, he is over 40 years old, and he is still carrying a backpack of more than 50 kilograms every day, looking for ancient buildings in the countryside all over the country to make records. In his words, now he is racing against time. A wildfire, a rain, may bury a three-to-four-hundred-year-old monument."

"It's not just him, all ancient architecture researchers are racing against time."

Lin You looked around at the blueprints hanging on the wall.

Guanye Building in Hongdong County.

Zaojue Village Erlang Temple.

Tieluzhuang Thousand Buddha Pavilion.

Hanjiazhuang Yuhuang Building and Kuixing Building.

...

"It must be very hard to find these places." Lin You asked subconsciously, looking at the exquisite blueprints and the sense of history of the simple and solemn ancient buildings.

"Yeah, it's very hard. The main reason is that it is not taken seriously. The funds are limited and there are fewer people doing research. Many of them spend their own money to do this. Especially many ancient buildings are in some remote places, with inconvenient transportation and need to be carried. With dozens of kilograms of equipment, I searched for it while asking people, and the food and accommodation were very simple, and many students couldn’t bear this kind of hardship, so they gave up halfway.” Liang Xingchang sighed as he spoke.

Lin You thought about it. The existence of these ancient buildings is a precious national heritage. He has always been interested in various old objects.

Besides, even putting aside these things, this kind of ancient architecture is also a treasure trove of very precious model materials.

No matter what kind of creation you do, you can't rely purely on imagination, otherwise it will be water without a source, a tree without roots, and sooner or later you will fall into exhaustion and repetition.

Convincing himself in his heart, Lin You said to Liang Xingchang, "Maybe I can provide some help."

Mr. Liang looked at Lin You and didn't think too much about it.

He has been troubled by the problem of ancient building protection for a long time, so when Lin You asked, he couldn't help but be full of unwillingness and resentment, and couldn't stop after opening his mouth.

But this is not to say that he will randomly pull a neighbor, and the Amway family will put down their daily life and devote themselves to the great ancient building protection activities.

That's not a researcher, that's a cult leader.

Besides, it is too difficult to improve the severe situation of ancient building protection, and it cannot be solved by one or two people.

"It's great if you have this kind of heart." Liang Xingchang patted Lin You on the shoulder, "The field of ancient building protection is really hard and lonely, and young people can't bear it basically. Don't be passionate about it for a while. We're going to rush in."

Lin You's expression was strange, Mr. Liang seemed to have misunderstood what he meant.

"Old man, you don't know who I am?"

"What do you mean?" The old man was also confused, "Aren't you Lin You?"

"I mean, you don't know what I do?"

Mr. Liang understood a little bit, "You mean, you are famous?"

"Eh..." Lin You realized that he had overestimated the influence of the Internet, so much so that he was overrated. Lingxi has more than 20 million followers, but it doesn't mean that everyone has to know him, there are many people who don't know him.

He thought about how to introduce himself, so that the old man could understand him simply and directly.

But he thought about it, the old man obviously didn't play games, his sons and daughters went all over the country to do research and surveys, and his granddaughter Si Si looked only six or seven years old, obviously none of them played games.

As for virtual reality technology, it has nothing to do with ancient buildings, and has nothing to do with it.

After much deliberation, he decided to use a slightly pretentious sentence to help the old man understand——

"I'm rich!"

Mr. Liang was full of question marks.

"Yes." Lin You nodded again to confirm, "I am rich, and will become richer in the future, so I can sponsor these people who are engaged in the research and maintenance of ancient buildings."

"Why did you do this? This is not a small sum of money." Liang Xingchang became serious.

"Because I also like ancient buildings very much. I am also very sad to see these ancient buildings that have experienced hundreds of thousands of years of history. , I can’t do it. But it should be affordable to subsidize scholars who are doing research and maintenance of ancient buildings and improve their research conditions and living conditions.”

"And, in the future, I will build a super-large virtual world. And I hope that these ancient buildings can be reborn in the virtual world in digital form to enrich the form of this virtual world. So I hope that all the buildings sponsored by me For research and investigation operations, all data backups of ancient buildings must be obtained, and researchers will reproduce them in the virtual world."

Mr. Liang blinked and looked at Lin You with strange eyes.

It's like looking at an innocent and kind-hearted prodigal son who doesn't know the heights of the sky and the earth.

No matter how much money your parents give you, they won't be able to withstand such spending!
