Chapter 277: Something to do, something not to do

Among them, Xu Xincheng's favorite picture is that of him and three friends, Zhou Dedao, Xia Mulan and Jiang Shuwen, in a very elegant bar, sitting around a high bar table, watching a singer sing with concentration and excitement.

The singer was standing on the stage only 2 meters away from them, and he was the god of song Jacky Cheung, yes, the god of song Jacky Cheung was in front of them, and he was singing "With You All the Way" affectionately.

In this somewhat dimly lit bar, Jacky Cheung's three-dimensional holograms are so realistic and so clear, so realistic that they can even see the expression on his face and the emotion in his eyes clearly.

After singing the song, the audience in the bar burst into warm applause for him, and the singer Jacky Cheung bowed to the audience and thanked him, and then he said happily: "Next, I will invite a female singer to sing a song with me, "I Only Care About You". I believe that many people have heard her songs, they all like her songs, many people like her, her surname is Deng, and she comes from a far, far away place. ”

At this time, the black curtain behind the stage slowly opened, and a person came out of it, everyone looked at it and couldn't help but be surprised, that person was Teresa Teng, who looked like Teresa Teng who was only in her teens, the smile on her face was sweet and pure, and the light in her eyes was bright and clear.

Yes, once the three-dimensional holographic photography and projection technology is mature, technical experts can not only record the singers' singing into three-dimensional holographic works, they can also "resurrect" the singers who have passed away, Anita Mui, Leslie Cheung, Huang Jiaju and other famous singers can be "resurrected", and everyone will see their faces when they are in their prime, they will once again step on the stage they love, and present classic songs one after another to the fans who love them.

"Steve, you're quite right, our 3D holographic photography and projection technology is going to make waves in the entertainment industry and the media industry, but we're not going to be directly involved in the entertainment industry and the media industry. ”

Xu Xincheng was pulled back from his reverie by Lucy's calm words, and he shook his head slightly, trying to bring himself back to his senses.

Lucy continued calmly: "Here, I need to emphasize that our company can provide equipment to various entertainment companies, film and television companies and communication companies, and even sell our technology to them under the premise of keeping patents, so that they can develop more deeply in various segments, but we will not enter the entertainment and media field. Including the 3D holographic recording and live concerts we just mentioned, we will not be directly involved, but only provide basic technology, equipment and platforms.

The so-called do something, don't do something. The stronger the company, the more choices there will be, and when a certain technology of the company is advanced to the first in the industry, it will have more choices, and at this time, it is often the time when the company is most likely to make mistakes. At this time, the founders and CEOs of many companies will choose to expand, and they will choose to enter multiple fields at the same time. This can easily lead to the battle line being stretched too long, resulting in simultaneous operations on multiple battlefields. In many cases, due to insufficient strength, talent, financial and material resources, it will lead to a lack of follow-up, which will lead to the company's failure in multiple fields at the same time, and eventually lead to the company's decline. ”

Xu Xincheng nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes." I understand. ”

He paused, and suddenly remembered that just now, in addition to asking if it was possible to achieve a three-dimensional holographic live concert, he also asked if it was possible to achieve a three-dimensional holographic live broadcast of ball games, such as basketball games, volleyball games, football games, etc.

Lucy didn't give an answer to this question just now, so he said with great anticipation: "Lucy, I know that our company itself should not be involved in the field of sports competition, but our technology will definitely set off huge waves in this field." I'm curious that in the near future, we, here we, not our company, but all of us in general, will we be able to achieve three-dimensional holographic recording, or even live broadcast of ball games, such as basketball games, volleyball games, football games, etc. ”

Lucy replied lightly: "It's going to be very, very difficult, and it will take many years to achieve." In fact, it is already difficult to record a singer singing, or recording a concert. 'Broadcast', or three-dimensional holographic projection, is not the biggest difficulty, the biggest difficulty lies in 'recording', that is, three-dimensional holographic photography, especially those singers who sing and dance from time to time, singers in three-dimensional holographic photography, the amount of data generated is much larger than that generated by ordinary people when they make three-dimensional holographic calls.

The difficulty of the three-dimensional holographic recording ball game is two or three orders of magnitude greater, and as for the three-dimensional holographic live broadcast ball game, it will be two or three orders of magnitude more difficult.

The first major difficulty is that the number of players in the ball game is large, not to mention the football game, we take the basketball game as an example, the players on both sides have reached 10 people together; the second difficulty is that all the players are in a high-speed state of movement throughout the game; the third difficulty is that the basketball is always in a higher-speed state of movement throughout the game, and its speed can reach up to 100 kilometers per hour. These three points alone, to digitize all their images in 3D holograms, will generate an extremely staggering amount of data.

The amount of data generated by a basketball game is so large that it would take a supercomputer with a floating-point speed of 100 billion times per second to process it alone. Therefore, in order to realize 3D holographic recording and live broadcast of football games, a big premise is needed, that is, the popularization of supercomputers with 100 billion times per second. ”

Xu Xincheng listened, his face immediately showed a look of surprise, before asking, he had already guessed that it would be difficult to record and broadcast 3D holographic and live football games, but after Lucy knew a little, he knew that the difficulty was simply incomparable!

He couldn't help but express the feeling in his heart: "Oh my God! That difficulty is simply uncomparable!"

He thought for a moment and added: "It seems that whether it is 3D holographic recording and live broadcast singers singing or concerts, or 3D holographic recording and live broadcast of ball games, we should not be directly involved. Lucy, you just made the right decision, our company can provide equipment to other companies, and even sell 3D holographic photography and projection technology to them for deeper development under the premise of keeping the patents, but we should not get involved directly. We should focus on the areas that we should focus on the most, such as 3D holographic calls, 3D holographic conferences, micro drones, etc. ”

Lucy nodded approvingly and said, "Yes." Steve, I'm glad you figured it out so quickly. ”

"Yes. Xu Xincheng repeated Lucy's words with some understanding, "Do something, don't do something." ”
