Looking at the big red exclamation mark on the computer, Richard was half angry.

He never expected that Chen Xu would not forget to encrypt the source code while modifying the algorithm system of the test set.

The test set algorithm system was downloaded from the official website of the competition, and it was impossible for Chen Xu to encrypt it twice.

After the gas was over, Richard began to crack the source code.

First, the encrypted source code is stripped out, and then the self-made cracking tool is carried out to crack it.

However, despite all his methods, the source code could not be cracked.

In desperation, he contacted a friend who did data cracking in the United States and asked the other party for help.

A few hours later, his friend told him in an excited tone that this source code shell uses a completely new encryption method, similar to an AI maze, which is extremely complex.

Richard asked him how long it would take to crack?

A friend told him that it would take about three months for a conventional computer brute-force hack if the computing power is sufficient.

Richard was speechless, and the daylily was cold for three months.

He scratched his ears and cheeks in a hurry.

30 million, placed in front of him, he could get it with his hand, but he was clasped with his hands, and he couldn't get it when he wanted to, and he was tortured to the point of madness.

Then he thought of various methods, but he denied them one by one.

In the end, he had to recognize a fact, unless that Chen Xu's brain was in water, the 30 million had nothing to do with him.

Just when Richard was busy cracking the source code of the algorithm system, the relevant parties of Tokyo University finally received the news.

The technology transfer fee alone has reached half a billion yuan, and if commercial development is carried out, what kind of huge return will it bring?

The school side is red-eyed.

At 9 o'clock in the morning of the 21st, the University of Tokyo held a special discussion meeting.

Dai Haishan, deputy secretary of the party committee and vice president of the school, Jiang Fenghua, president of the Institute of Information Technology, and Tang Tianhua, the person in charge, all attended the meeting.

Dai Haishan said clearly: "The project was approved by the school, and the funds were provided by the school, including Richard, who was also painstakingly invited by the school. ”

Jiang Fenghua and two other school leaders agreed.

Professor Tang Tianhua, the project leader, was a little embarrassed, but had to remind him: "The algorithm system was not developed by Richard, he just completed the system architecture, and the core source code is ...... Written by Chen Xu. ”

"No matter who wrote it, the project was approved by the school, right? The funding was provided by the school, right? They are participating in the competition on behalf of the school, right?"

Professor Tang Tianhua argued: "That's true, but the technology was developed by Chen Xu personally, and he also helped us ...... Dongda."

Dai Haishan didn't wait for him to finish speaking, then said: "No need to say more, so be it! Lao Jiang, after the meeting, you notify those companies, and find some powerful graphics companies to come over, let's conduct a technical bidding meeting, and then select the best for cooperation."

By the way, the technology patent should also be applied for as soon as possible, just in case. ”

"Well, leave that to me. ”

Professor Tang Tianhua didn't know about the core source code encryption, and seeing that Chen Xu's technology was classified as a school, he couldn't help but say, "That's ...... What should I do over there?"

"You guys in the department to discuss this, give some material rewards, give a scholarship or something, in short, you have to appease him and don't make any trouble. ”

Professor Tang Tianhua didn't know what to say, his arm couldn't twist his thigh, so he had to nod helplessly.

……

Since the competition, Chen Xu has been a little busy these days, and many people have come to ask him some questions, and he has also become a real celebrity in the computer science department of Dongda University.

In the afternoon, I took time to go to the Changfeng Building.

The week-long closed beta period of "The Legend of the Car God" has been successfully completed, with some unfriendly settings and some minor bugs, and it will be officially launched tomorrow.

When they arrived at the company, everyone's faces were beaming with joy.

Most of the people in the company participated in the inside of "Legend of the Car God", and they were shocked by the quality of the game, and any screenshot of it can be used as a mobile desktop/computer screensaver.

This kind of stand-alone game that catches up with and surpasses European and American 3A masterpieces reveals the company's super soft and hard power, and it also means that they have a bright future.

Yang Siyan is the same, just like winning the 1 million grand prize, with a smile on his face.

Chen Xu smiled and said: "It's not online yet, why are you so happy, aren't you afraid of hitting the street?"

Yang Siyan said categorically: "Impossible! If this kind of top-level flying car game hits the street again, then all the shoddy stand-alone games in China can be thrown into the garbage heap." ”

Yang Siyan's words are not untargeted.

Not to mention anything else, in terms of production costs, none of the domestic stand-alone games exceeded 100 million yuan, and Fairy Sword 6 only cost 20 million yuan, and according to media reports, the production cost of "Fairy Sword 7" is also 220 million New Taiwan dollars, equivalent to 50 million yuan.

But what about the legend of the car god?

A conservative estimate of $10 million.

Just that picture, let alone domestic, can also be proud of the international community!

You say you're going to hit the streets with such a game?

If it weren't for Chen Xu being the boss, he would have to spit on his face, if you don't understand, just shut up, no one treats you as a dumb person.

Looking at Yang Siyan's excited appearance, Chen Xu was also very happy.

"Okay! ”

"I know. It's propaganda for this piece you see......"

"What's wrong?"

"The production cost and the technology used in the game can be put on the promotional poster as a gimmick. ”

Chen Xu thought about it and said: "The production cost is about 17 million US dollars according to the market price.

However, our company is a partner with Lone Smoke International Animation Production Co., Ltd., and they also have investment in Zhengfeng Games, so the actual cost is ......."

Yang Siyan calculated in his heart, 17 million US dollars is equivalent to more than 100 million yuan, and he said incoherently excitedly, "It's okay, it's okay...... It doesn't matter, the market price is as much as it is.

We are real, there is no moisture, and no one can find fault with it.

This can be used as a big selling point. ”

After a pause, Yang Siyan hurriedly asked, "What about the engine, is it Creation or Unreal Engine 4?"

A game engine is a core component of an editable computer game system or an interactive real-time graphics application that has been written.

These systems provide game designers with the tools they need to write games, and are designed to make it easy and fast for game designers to create games without having to start from scratch.

From the beginning of the 3D era, a successful game engine can not only make game development work more effective with half the effort, but also bring richer game graphics and detailed performance, and improve game quality.

Creation and Unreal Engine 4 are the first and second of the world's top ten game engines, and their representative works include "The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim", "Fallout 4", as well as the "Gears of War" series and "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds".

Chen Xu shook his head and smiled: "Neither." This is a game engine designed and written by Lone Smoke Animation itself, called Taixu, which is the world's first intelligent game engine. ”

"Ah......" Yang Siyan stammered.

He never thought that not only did the production cost exceed 100 million, but even the game engine was developed by himself, which is too powerful.

It seems that his own boss and the boss of the lonely smoke animation are in a big game of chess.

……

After Chen Xu left Changfeng Building, he was going to go to the quiet area to find He Gang for a drink, but the phone in his pocket rang, and he took it out and saw that it was Professor Tang calling, saying that he was looking for him for something and asked him to go back to school.

Chen Xu turned around and went back to school.

When he arrived at Tang Tianhua's office, Chen Xu asked, "Teacher, do you have anything to do with me?"

Tang Tianhua pointed to the sofa chair opposite and said, "You sit down first." ”

Chen Xu hummed, walked to the chair by the wall and sat down.

"In the morning, the school had a meeting about the test set algorithm system...... It's your image recognition technology that goes into the school's possession. Tang Tianhua told Chen Xu about the school's research decision in the morning.

Chen Xu was speechless after listening: "Let's not say that this is my personal technology, and it has nothing to do with the school, I just helped our University of Tokyo get the qualification ticket for the AI Challenge, and I turned my face to unload the mill and kill the donkey, what is this?"

And 10,000 steps back, according to the general practice, the technology developed in this case cannot be owned by the school, at most the inventor and the school jointly own, and it is quite unreasonable to completely take over the school, I don't agree. ”

Professor Tang had a headache and said, "I know. But there are some things you know, conventions are conventions, but they don't have written rules. ”

"Then there is no way to talk about it. ”

"Don't get excited! In this case, I'll help you fight with the school again, but the hope is very slim. In addition, you can report this matter to President Liu and ask him to come forward and coordinate with the school. When Tang Tianhua enlightened, he didn't forget to help Chen Xu give advice.

"Thank you, teacher, no need to bother. Saying that, Chen Xu stood up and said a little angrily: "As long as the school has the ability, just take it." ”

After speaking, Chen Xu said goodbye to Tang Tianhua and left.

Professor Tang looked at Chen Xu's "angry" look, sat on the chair and sighed and shook his head.

Others are soft-spoken, and some things can't be done at all.

And even if President Liu is invited to come out, I am afraid that the effect will be minimal, after all, the county officials are not as good as the current management.

But just when Tang Tianhua thought that this matter was a certainty, things changed again.

At half past nine o'clock in the morning of the next day, Jiang Fenghua, the president of the Institute of Information Technology, came to his office to look for him, and as soon as he entered the door, he said with a black face: "That Chen Xu, he encrypted the core source code of the algorithm system......"
