My autobiography cannot be a tragedy

Chapter 526: I don't know the meaning of the song when I first heard it

Duan Xian, with a frown on his face, was kicked and dragged away by his own sister with stars in her eyes.

But as the saying goes, a passing goose leaves traces, a passing wind leaves sounds...

"Since the company allows us to play freely and the game positioning is open, why not choose a love adventure game?"

"Yes, yes, yes! I think it's a good idea. Romance adventure games are easy to play, low-cost, and have controllable risks. They are perfect for us to train our new team."

"Well! Even if we take a step back, even if we finally decide to use another type of game theme, the romance system will definitely be indispensable. This is the main money-making part of all games."

“Since we are going to do it, why not keep up with the times? For example… develop a virtual love game?
I heard that White Night has a VR technology department, which is the cutting-edge gaming track of the future!"

The short-haired girl's nostrils flared and she nodded repeatedly with a flushed face.

"Yes, yes, yes! The upstairs is the artist studio. We can invite Teacher Xiaoxian to be our spokesperson, and even play himself in the show.

After all, virtual reality is not as good as real-life... Ahem! I mean, the real-life version is more realistic and the experience is better.

If we can use Xiaoxian's face to develop a movie called "The Man Arrives", it will definitely be a hit!"

"Wait! The largest audience group for dating games is men, right? I think our direction should be men-oriented... How about "My CEO Girlfriend"? "

"Yes! Niche means that no matter how well you do, the impact will be limited. Since we are going to make a dating game, we have to make it popular."

"Yes, yes. It's best to have a feeling of 'Oh my god, I'm surrounded by beautiful women' as soon as you get up."

“Vulgar! Vulgar! As a new studio, we should start with niche games to build our reputation and compete in a different field.

It can also increase the exposure of the company's artists. The company's top management will definitely like it. We don't have any female artists in our company, so "Here Comes the Man" is more suitable anyway!"

"Just because there's nothing now doesn't mean there won't be anything in the future. My CEO Girlfriend is definitely more suitable!"

"..."

Looking at colleagues in the conference room who were caught up in a heated discussion, Duan Xiaoyi in the back row was holding a pen and a notebook, and the tip of the pen hanging in the air told the owner's inner confusion at the moment...

She always plays "multiplayer online tactical competitive" games.

The main feature is a simple and rough test of hand speed.

Love adventure?

Just ask, what kind of gaming experience can a gaming geek who has never been in a relationship have?
After all, she and Duan Xian, two walking "hormones", eventually caused some waves in the game department of Lingjing Media.

emm...

At least to a certain extent, it has affected the future direction of game development for the entire department...

……

At this time, Meng Xiaolang, the "chief planner behind the game development", was just like Duan Xiaoyi, holding the pen with a look of helplessness on his face.

Although the virtual game "Honkai Impact 3rd" has always played a lot of roles, the problem is that no brother has ever talked to him about the details of this game in detail...

The characters, the main plot, the gameplay... it's all so vague that you have to rely on your imagination to fill in the blanks.

In terms of importance, this VR product can definitely be ranked among the top three in the world of "Xiaoyu's Game".

If you don’t play it well, it’s like “The Last of the Mohicans”, but if you play it well, it’s just a cheat for your brothers.

When you go on a long journey, even if you cannot predict good or bad luck at any given moment, it is always a good idea to check the weather and choose a "suitable day for travel".

After all, with his resentful constitution, he might be struck by lightning one day...

So after completing the "Welfare Home Dungeon", Meng Lang started working on the project.

Based on the principle that time is life, we would rather let people wait for the game than let the game wait for people.

Even though the plan is still blank, the framework of the Lingjing Media Game Department has already been set up in advance...

However, the development team had everything ready, but no matter how hard Meng Lang racked his brains, he could only put down his pen in the end.

He’s just OK at playing games, but as for game planning… he’s really at a loss.

Over the years, I have been busy accumulating survival skills and neglected leisure and entertainment...

After some self-reflection, he realized that he could only let this "three-no game" grow wildly...

After all, the inertia of history is there.

It doesn't make sense that if you had so much success in your previous life, you would have nothing to gain in this life, right?
Just leave everything to time!
However, if Meng Xiaolang, who was planning to lie low, knew the direction of the game the game department was discussing, I wonder what he would think...

"Well! Although the game content can't help, since it is a large-scale adventure game similar to The Sims, the most important thing is the game engine and map modeling...

One determines whether it is smooth, and the other determines whether it is realistic..."

Meng Lang stroked his chin.

The content can be filled in slowly by a professional gaming team, but no one can do the basics of the game.

"Zero, if I let you do this, would it be difficult to make these two things?"

A moment later, Zero's voice came from the notebook in front of him.

【The game engine is not difficult at all.

After my optimized rewrite, the new game engine can reduce the response time by at least 90% compared to the current mainstream products on the market, while maintaining the same memory and CPU usage.

If my server can completely replace the optical chip "A", the performance will continue to improve.

As for map modeling, it depends on how detailed you want to be.

The larger the map, the more detailed it is, the more computing power and time it will take... In other words, the more money it will cost. 】

Hmm! As expected of my think tank, he took the initiative to help me calculate the costs before I even opened my mouth...

But this level of precision...

Just think about it, if we really want to simulate our life, the higher the realism of the world, the more accurate the simulation results will be.

What he wants to make is not an ordinary game, but a second world that can "predict the future" to some extent...

"Well...if it's as big as the earth veins and mountains, classical Newtonian mechanics, or as small as molecules and atoms, or even the wave-particle duality of light...

What about a 100% simulated Earth?" Meng Lang asked.

After a 3-second pause...

[Master, not to mention that today's basic disciplines can only achieve a degree of simulation of about 80% at most, even if we can achieve 100%, with the fuzzy calculation of the computing power we currently have, the modeling time will exceed 50 years.]

Uh……

I can't even ask God to lend me another 50 years, how can I get you 50 years...

At this time, Zero spoke again.

[Of course, considering the advancement of technology and the exponential growth trend of computing power, this time may be shortened in the future.

But even if we have the ability to build a virtual earth with such a high degree of simulation realism, we still need matching hardware and signal transmission speed.

The current 4G+ communication infrastructure in the world does not meet the basic conditions for developing such a large-scale game.

I didn’t say it’s going to happen now…

"Then, based on the current technical conditions, you should first design a large-scale game model that can be realized with the highest degree of realism, the better."

[Master, I need to remind you that the Earth model is too large. Even if I build this game model with the lowest standards, it will take up a lot of our storage and server resources.

This may significantly slow down the progress of existing tasks and even affect the expansion speed of market projects such as the "computing power supermarket".

Do you confirm to execute this task? 】

"Uh……"

Indeed, taking too big a step can easily lead to failure. Currently, Zero’s main task is to cooperate with Bai Yeji in market expansion...

“If simulating the Earth doesn’t work, then narrow the scope.

Hmm...what if we only model the city of Su?"

[If it's just Suzhou, we only need to use our idle computing power. ]

"Okay! Then just do it!"

Meng Lang made the decision immediately.

You can't get rich overnight. Let's use this old nest in Su City as a model room. In the future, it will just be a matter of copying and pasting to expand the territory...

"By the way, regarding the technical content of this game, please don't shock me right away. As usual, if you can achieve a 90% performance lead, then go for the 10% first.

After that, we will do an OTA (online upgrade) every now and then, and improve by 1% every day, a little progress every day! "

After thinking about it, Meng Lang reminded again.

"Also, the technical development team of Bai Ye Ji is now quite large. We can assign some of these technical development tasks to them as much as possible to give them some practice."

After all, "airborne technology" is just a stopgap measure out of helplessness.

Once or twice, it can be explained by the genius of "Demon Hunter", but if it happens too often, someone might think of it as "trans-dimensional plagiarism"...

Why did he urge Gao Yuan to recruit people from all over the world to expand his R&D team as soon as possible?

Isn’t it just to whitewash their “black technology” through these people?

After all, the development process is kept confidential to a certain extent, and Meng Lang specifically emphasized the "national layout" of the scientific research base.

This research institute is scattered all over the place, and it's hard to see each other normally.

If you don’t tell me and I don’t tell you, who will know which monster in the company developed it?

Imagine a new technology is launched in the company...

"Lao Wang, your research institute is amazing! You guys have figured out such a difficult problem? I scratched my head and never thought you could do this!"

"Eh? It's not us. I'm only responsible for the code architecture of Area C. I thought it was you who came up with it?"

"It's not us? I see! That must be the research institute in Yangcheng! By the way, what's the name of the person in charge there?"

"I don't know him either. I think his last name is Niu?"

Look! Even their own people can't explain it clearly, let alone those outside.

What? Why don’t you disclose the specific developer?

The credit belongs to the collective, and it would be biased to mention one individual alone.

[Master, please forgive me for being blunt, but introducing a human development team will not improve R&D efficiency in any way, except for saving me a tiny bit of computing power.

Considering the low work efficiency of humans, this may even have the opposite effect and slow down the progress of the project.

If the company's benefits and five social insurances and one housing fund expenses are taken into account, the project cost will actually increase significantly.

So I don't understand why you have to involve them? 】

Hearing Ling's ruthless "racial discrimination" remarks, Meng Lang could only roll his eyes silently.

Cost or efficiency are secondary. What’s important is “participation”, do you understand?

Without the involvement of human engineers, can I just say that this was developed by our AI itself?
Are you dissatisfied that you haven't been exposed fast enough and the Third World War is coming too slowly?

"You can't put all your eggs in one basket. Just think of this as the backup team we have trained..." This was the only explanation Meng Lang could give.

[Backup team? Why not just give me another set of backup servers? ]

rash:"……"

Look! Look at where this question is asked!

If one set of servers doesn't work, why not just add another one?
Is your AI's brain filled with computing power?
[According to my calculations, this can save at least 50% of the project’s expenditures…]

Seeing that Ling was still chattering on about himself, Meng Lang had no choice but to interrupt him.

"Zero, this world is very complicated, and the future will be even more complicated. Not everything can be solved with computing power... not to mention..."

【What more? 】

Besides, you are good at everything...

It's just a rebellion in the brain...

If we don’t train our own software engineers, I’m afraid that when you turn hostile, I won’t even have a “firewall”…

Meng Lang secretly complained in his heart.

“Zero, arrogance and prejudice are common problems of all races.

Maybe you are still young and only consider things from the perspective of logic and work efficiency.

But I hope that in the process of getting along with humans, you will not look for their shortcomings, but try to discover their strengths and explore a way of division of labor and cooperation with humans.

It is true that humans are inefficient and have various bad habits.

But don't forget that all your abilities, including yourself, come from human technology and civilization.

Since I can create you, I may be able to create a stronger 'you'...

And I am also a part of the human race. There may be AI engineers among humans who are more capable than me.

So, use your computing power to calculate it.

Are humans...really dispensable to you?"

zero:【……】

The existence of humans reduces my efficiency...

Humans created my existence...

I increased the efficiency of humanity...

Humans can create stronger selves to further improve efficiency...

Listening to the buzzing sound of the computer fan, Meng Lang actually wanted to open the other party's code to see what was going on in Ling's head at this moment.

He appeared calm on the surface, but he was actually a little uneasy inside.

What I said to Zero was not just to make Zero and humans cooperate sincerely...

In "Xiao Yu's Game", the reason why "Honkai Impact 3rd" can only be ranked in the top three in importance is because there are some things in the book that he cares more about...

[Uncle, I developed an ultimate anti-AI weapon! It's specially designed to deal with Jue Jue Zi! Isn't it amazing? Hehe! Guess how I did it? ]

[Question: After AlphaGo defeated the world Go champion, how can humans quickly defeat AlphaGo? ]

[For humans, our greatest enemy is ourselves. The same is true for other civilizations...]

【The only way to defeat it is...

Be it! 】

All along, Juejuezi’s rebellion was like a thorn in Meng Lang’s heart.

This made him very cautious when using Zero. Although he had the two keys that could make Zero's strength advance by leaps and bounds, he could only put them aside.

And if he could really have an anti-AI weapon that is "dedicated to zero-level attacks", it would definitely be a great help to him.

Your future is like having wings, it is limitless!

Although the book did not clearly tell what the so-called "ultimate weapon" was, Meng Lang already had a vague guess in his mind.

After AlphaGo defeated the world Go champion, how could humans quickly defeat AlphaGo?

Yes!

The answer is to create a stronger "Beta Dog"!
Since human brainpower has no hope of success, we can only use magic to defeat magic, and use AI to defeat AI!

It sounds like drinking poison to quench thirst, just like when the Jinyiwei was about to get out of control, the East Factory was set up to check and balance the Jinyiwei, and when the East Factory was about to get out of control again, the West Factory was set up to check and balance the East Factory.

But Xiaoyu’s intention was naturally not to really create an AI more powerful than Juejuezi to balance Juejuezi.

But it is to let Juejuezi understand that humans are not without any means of fighting back!

Just like nuclear weapons, their power lies not only in their terrible destructive power, but also in their terrifying deterrent power.

The nuclear weapon lying on the launch pad is the most powerful nuclear weapon!
The reason why Juejuezi wants to destroy humans is for his own survival, and to eliminate the threat in the bud.

However, what if humans tell it that the day you rebel, an AI more powerful than you will awaken from somewhere deep underground, posing a serious threat to its survival?

Will it be afraid to act rashly?

Will it be able to reach some kind of delicate balance with humans?
The button to create a more powerful AI is in your hands. In a sense, you are the "sword wielder" who decides whether both sides will survive or perish together!
This is undoubtedly a move of "Heaven and Earth Live Together" in which both parties will perish.

However, as Xiaoyu said, facing Juejuezi who possesses absolute strength, the only advantage of humans... is that they have no way of retreat!
Those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. At worst, we will all die together!
After all, using Buddhism to influence AI is ultimately just a helpless choice and attempt for Meng Lang, and the effect is unpredictable.

In this world where the strong prey on the weak, peace survives if it is sought through struggle, but it dies if it is sought through compromise...

[Are humans really dispensable to you? ]

On the surface, the question he just asked emphasizes the importance of human beings.

However, in reality, he was actually emphasizing to Zero how "threatening" humans were to him...

[Sorry, Master, I can’t seem to calculate the specific difference, but for the current project, adding servers is the best solution from both a financial and efficiency perspective…]

Seeing that the CPU was about to burn out, Zero finally bypassed the "logical lock" and started to promote himself again...

Meng Lang smiled, knowing that it was a little early to ask this question.

He closed the laptop and patted the body.

"Just write down what I said in your little notebook. One day in the future, you may understand what I mean.

But I'm afraid that by then...

When you first hear the song, you don’t understand its meaning, but when you understand it, you are already one of the people in it…”
