Chapter 15 Section Fourteen

I looked absently at the parts list.There are more than three hundred types of parts, so they cannot be displayed in front of the players in the form of a list.Tendo asked me to think of a way. Despite his request, I don't think the number of parts can be reduced any further.Screws have been removed in previous stages, even for reusing parts, such as making cars and two-wheelers use the same wheels, or for basic parts - making iron pipes into axles, frames and For the gun body, the fairing and armor are made of iron plates. I have studied such fine carvings as much as possible. In other words, he asked me to think of a way to display the list of owned items.

Tiantong was not there. After giving me instructions just now, he called Santiao, and the two of them got into the conference room together.Tiantong's seat is on my right, and the things on the table are arranged very neatly, which really has his demeanor. Hirata was the opposite, his desk was in a mess, and if the circulated documents were lost, they would probably be on his desk.Right now he is looking for something in the pile of documents. Across the aisle from the two of them was Minister Tezuka's seat, with his back to the window facing this way, staring blankly at the documents as usual, what the hell was he doing.I can't imagine what the specific job of a management position is.Judging from the words I overheard when he was on the phone, it was probably dealing with budgets, personnel, and the like.

Opposite me is the seat of Sanjo Kishi. He was called away by Tendo, and he is not there right now.He is extravagantly equipped with two computers, placed on the left and right sides of the desk.There were manuals and other books between me and him, as if a wall had been erected in front of my eyes. Next to him is Nishino Natsuko, who is concentrating on typing on the keyboard.Next to it is an empty seat, which is now used for printers and fax machines. Sitting on my left is Kaori.Because I didn't turn in the drawings in time, she is now idling waiting for input. "Kaori, what are you doing?"

I greeted her, and she immediately looked at me. "Ah, I was just trying to study for a while." She showed me the cover of the brochure she was reading.I thought it was something, it turned out to be "Structure dscenario diagram", a support tool for the upper layer design of the game. "Is making games fun?" "Well, very interesting." "I have a question I want to discuss with you." I think Kaori is very smart, after I explain the problem. "Ah, it means we're going to be divided into groups." "Well, that's what happened."

"Well, generally speaking, it is to separate mobile tools, weapons, armor... and general materials. However, there is no such classification in the novel." "Well, here is the problem. For example, if we break off a wooden branch to make a bow and arrow, then is this wooden branch a weapon system? Even if it is stipulated like this, it doesn't make sense." "That's right. There is only the concept of parts in the novel, and there are no blueprints." She sighed like I did. "Tatsumi, stop saying that you don't want to draw design drawings anymore."

Hirata came over to comfort him a little worried. "Only with a design drawing can the user's operations be limited." "I know. But it's also because of the blueprints that I come up with the idea of ​​a mobile item system." "How about sorting by model?" "model?" "U-type. Don't write it as a moving item, for example, write it as an M series. The tires are M001 or the like. In the forest factory, the M-series machine can only produce M-series parts. U is used for general-purpose parts? U-series The machine can only produce U-series parts. In this way, it can be classified by the machine model produced.”

Yes indeed. The phone rang suddenly.Both Kaori and Nishino Natsuko immediately reached out and picked up the receiver. It seemed that Natsuko's extension was connected. Kaori sniffed her nose and put the receiver back. "Hi. This is the 'Software Planning Department'. . . . Ah, yes, sorry to trouble you. Everyone is here today." Xia Zi is answering the phone.Most of the calls from outside lines to the "Software Planning Department" were from Sanjo's original company or Tendo's office.The ringtone of this call seems to be an outside line. From Xia Zi's reply, it can be judged that it is someone I know. Who is it? When I was thinking, Xia Zi called my name.

"Tatsumi-sensei, No. 1, it was opened by Matsuura." I pressed the flashing button and picked up the receiver. "Hi, I'm Tatsumi." "I'm Matsuura. I'm on the Shinkansen. I just returned from Nagoya after meeting—" Matsuura then named a writer who lived in Nagoya and was one of the writers he was responsible for. "I was in Nagoya and remembered that Tatsumi-sensei is still working hard for us, so I want to bring some souvenirs as a condolence—" Confused, I glanced at Kaori. "Well, thank you so much, Matsuura. Isn't your house near Shin-Yokohama? If that's the case, you don't have to bring it here today, just go home—"

"No, no, you can't say that. Teacher Tatsumi worked so hard, well, I just passed Atami, and I arrived at the company... about six o'clock. So, when I passed by, everyone was gone—" "No. Today—or today, it seems that everyone can't go back early today... Kaori? How long are you going to stay today?" I took off the receiver and asked Kaori about it. "What time will the teacher stay until today? If it's not too late, I want to go back with the teacher." I nodded and picked up the receiver again. "Probably they will be there." "Ah, that's it for now, see you later."

"Thanks for your hard work." I hang up the phone and put the receiver back. "What did he say? Said he was coming?" Hirata immediately asked. "Well, he is returning from Nagoya, probably near Atami. He said that he would bring condolences." "Condolence? What?" Xia Zi's eyes lit up. "Ah, I didn't ask." While she was sticking out her tongue and making faces, Tendo came back with Sanjo. "Huh? What's the matter?" Tendo felt a little puzzled. "Matsuura said that he would bring condolences from Nagoya to visit the front line."

After Xia Zi's report, I added that it was probably after six o'clock. "It's a good thing, too." In the end, he only had this reaction, and sat down in his seat as if folding his long legs, and immediately started the follow-up work. On the other hand, Sanjo put down the documents roughly, sat on the chair, folded his arms and looked up for a while, seemingly dissatisfied.He was probably reprimanded by Tendo.Across the mountain of manuals, he happened to be in front of me. He was absent-minded for a while, and seemed to be attracted to Xia Zi by something.Xia Zi handed him something, and Santiao wrote something on it and returned it immediately, probably in writing. "Speaking of which, how about the parts list?" Tendo asked, and I hurriedly switched back to work mode. "Thinking about how to classify by model number—" If Tiantong realized something, in order to show whose credit it is, I added another sentence. "This is Hirata's suggestion." "Printing the marks on the parts makes logical sense. Good idea, Hirata. Tatsumi, redo the parts list. I hope I can see the revised version when Matsuura's condolences arrive."
