Chapter 66: Impact

After the holidays, students are returning to school one after another.

The university campus is an interesting place, close and far from society, close but far from the latest technology.

In the university's labs, bosses wield small leather whips and order a group of research dogs to work.

There are many new technologies that come out of here, but we don't know what practical ones can be commercialized and put into practical use.

The 3D animated films shot and distributed by Wanhu have provided research directions and materials for many laboratories.

Programming is, in a way, a math game. Making 3D animations, on the other hand, is a more complex math game.

Different people choose different directions, and a little check of the papers published by Wanhu can find the papers they have published in the field of 3D images.

From ray tracing, to global illumination, to image rendering.

Papers are sent out in all directions of the basic items.

In fact, when it comes to computers, most of the time people chase conferences rather than papers.

Because unlike other mature disciplines, which take decades or hundreds of years to make a big news, computer science, which is still a relatively new discipline, will not be long before a new revolution will occur.

Although the paper is more formal, it takes longer to review because the paper is more formal.

Sometimes, after the paper is reviewed and published, the technology is outdated.

Therefore, basically real-time meetings without delay are the direction that everyone is chasing.

The articles published at the conference will be seen and used quickly.

You must know that computer science can be used not only to edit a document, make a video game, but also to see computers in all walks of life.

Computers are very adaptable and very useful.

After the traditional industry has added the fresh blood of computers, the monitoring of various instruments can be changed from the human eye to the monitoring by chips.

Once there is a problem with the data, it is not necessary for workers to judge and execute, but the program starts to be executed immediately.

It can be said that the emergence of computers has greatly improved productivity.

Fewer people can do more work.

This is also the reason why computers are counted as the third technological revolution.

But......

The advent of computers is a good thing for capitalists, who can earn more profits.

But for the workers, it was not so rosy.

A large number of workers are replaced by computers, and they have careers, and they can only engage in other more low-end jobs with this skill, but there is no way for computers to replace them for the time being.

For example, I go to mow the lawn of someone's house every day.

In fact, Wanhu has also studied these things in industrial production. Many of the factories that Wanhu took over have now begun to carry out computerized reforms.

Of course, reform is painful.

After the reform, there may not be so many workers.

But when Wanhu took over these factories, he did not pursue profits.

Takahashi believes that people are more important than profits.

Thanks to his efforts, those capable old workers returned to the factory one after another.

And they will be samples of machine learning, providing all kinds of data to the machine.

For example, Wanhu has recently been developing CNC machine tool technology.

It stands to reason that a model should be programmed directly and then processed by the machine.

However, after making the model, although the processing can be completed, the efficiency cannot catch up with the efficiency of the old workers.

If computers are further developed, optimization can be done by means of machine learning. But in the current situation, the most effective way is to directly capture the operation of the old workers, and then let the machine tool do the processing.

And, summarize the operation of the old workers, why the efficiency is higher.

Of course, when the machine is completed, it will not fire the old workers. It's about letting them do the new work they can.

For many businesses, this is a cost that should not be increased.

At the end of a vacation, Richie went from being a young man who had jumped out of the box to becoming a little gloomy.

The embarrassed stubble grew savagely on his face, and the long hair didn't even have time to clean up.

During his months off, he's been figuring out how to make games.

In terms of results, he has already gained something, but he is still not satisfied with his results.

He felt that the games he made were much worse than those made by John and Xiao Ai in any way.

This kind of pain is often not experienced by people who have never created a work.

But this pain is not all bad.

You must know that many excellent works are completely honed from the pain of the creator.

Like the movie "Blade Runner", almost everyone involved in the project was in pain during the filming process.

And, after the screening, these people are also painful.

Because of this film with a high investment of 28 million US dollars, the box office finally reached this level.

You must know that the theater chain still has a lot of shares, and basically the box office is so much in the end, this movie can be regarded as a violent death.

However, all this has taken a turn for the better recently, and the videotape of "Blade Runner" actually sold surprisingly well.

Investors who own the rights to distribute videotapes have already made money and are smiling crookedly.

Such a film is full of pain and suffering in the production process, but for many moviegoers, they can see the redemption from the depths of the soul.

Of course, the people who buy the tapes are just a small circle.

But the purchasing power of a small circle is so strong.

This has led the company to launch various limited editions such as Director's Cut, Restoration, Final Restoration, Final Director's Cut, Three-Year Edition, Five-Year Edition, etc., to make more money.

In fact, what is more interesting is that for real fans, fans are still happy to buy this method of making money.

Of course, fans who are willing to buy it will not end up with the conscience of the game manufacturer. It's all this mess that gets even worse.

It's like that well-known consortium B - Bandai. Isn't that what you do?

The reason why Bandai is so dark is that every consumer who buys Bandai peripherals is actually responsible.

Bandai, which holds countless comics and animation copyrights, is simply impossible to lose.

And, from a factual point of view, although Bandai things are expensive, sometimes the materials are not very good.

However, compared to other manufacturers that produce peripherals, it is already considered conscientious.

After all, there are not many "evil gods" produced by Bandai.
