Chapter 377: Virtual Characters
After sorting out the toys, the parts printing of the mechanical leopard was also completed.
Take it and Xiaobai on the plane and return home in the afternoon. The next day, I was thinking about the research and development of superconductors, and then I went to the company, and then I came back to my office, sitting in the boss's chair and operating the computer. Soon, the light and shadow converged into a three-dimensional projection of a middle-aged man.
An Feng leaned back in the seat and propped his chin to watch the holographic projection.
The armrest of the seat is also the operation area, click a few fingers on it, and the holographic figure will be adjusted accordingly, front and back, left and right, An Feng turns on the wall screen, and the snow-white wall instantly becomes a display, and the intelligent operating system remembers An Feng's habits last time, and opens the character material library for him.
An Feng is choosing the right character materials.
Obviously, he is creating a virtual character, and the middle-aged man in front of him, a guy with a bit of a scholarly atmosphere, does not exist in reality, An Feng collected materials on the Internet, added up the characteristics of various characters, and then the supercomputer perfected the details for him to get the current results.
In order to design the character, An Feng spent forty-five hours intermittently.
It still doesn't seem a good fit, as a character who can't show up and can only appear as a hologram...... Obviously, being a little older, the inconvenience of legs and feet is the best explanation, but it can't stop a smart head. An Feng used the touch buttons to make the character age.
After changing from middle age to old age, it is really a lot more appropriate.
But I still feel like there's something missing...... An Feng pondered: "Oh! Add a pair of glasses! ”
He clicked his finger a few times, searching for the glasses in the material library, the number of entries after opening is not much, but according to An Feng's browsing needs, the smart computer immediately downloads the network in the background, and it will search for pictures related to glasses on the Internet. Constantly expanding the library.
In a few seconds, there are tens of thousands of materials.
An Feng chose a black-framed reading glasses with a scholarly atmosphere, let the computer construct holographic graphics, and then add them to the characters after rendering.
An Feng's voice was lazy: "Face details display." ”
As the voice drops, the computer zooms in on the person's face. Show the details. An Feng scratched his chin, and then removed the character's hair a little, leaving some baldness on his forehead, proving that he usually uses his brain a lot and is creative...... In order not to disgust himself, the character is not completely bald.
Return to the whole body, choose a medium body type, a little rickety, and pair him with a few sets of usual clothes. The shape of the nameplate on the chest of the white lab coat is very classic, while the ...... on other occasions Just a black suit and tie, old-fashioned and old-fashioned, just right for the old guys in the fifties.
Staring at the image, An Feng felt that it was memorable enough.
"Record sound input." An Feng said to the air, and the program was ready to record his voice, he picked up the miniature microphone and said a few phrases. The computer collects it, and he then adjusts the voice. Makes the subject's voice a little deeper, older, and then a little more accented by the region.
After completion, the target repeats An Feng's voice just now.
It sounded like an old Texas man who could speak Spanish, and it was completely inaudible that the voice came from An Feng.
"Personality habits?" An Feng considered the last point, "Find it from the movie database." ”
The computer screened several. The character is defined as a scientist with a bit of obsessive-compulsive disorder, persevering...... These characters tend to become classic villains in American films of individual heroism: a Nazi doctor with monocles whose eyes glow as he conducts anti-human research......
"Haha!" An Feng laughed at the spoof, but it was quite appropriate to the image.
In the end, he listed his thoughts and questions according to himself. A guest appearance as an announcer voice inputs ideas about superconductors, including superconducting motors, superconducting wire erection, superconducting ferrofluids, and very forward-looking controlled thermonuclear reactions.
Once you've said that, start asking the characters to repeat the performance.
The old Texas-turned-mad scientist is now repeating word for word with his distinctive accent. The theory and steps are very detailed, and An Feng also deleted some endings and idiomatic words, which are his habits, not the youthful attitude that "Mr. L" should have.
Just like Mr. L can never say hello as "yo-man" like a black man.
An Feng's name for the virtual character is very simple - come casually. In addition to Mr. L, he also constructs Ms. M., a female biologist, who is dedicated to cell biology and genetics, while Mr. L specializes in superconductors and has two PhDs.
Since there is holographic technology, An Feng is creating virtual people, recording teaching voices, and converting them into their results, of course, rigid content is definitely not good, if necessary, An Feng can appear in any of these virtual avatars, and carry out distance education.
Learning from experience, it must be physically inconvenient to not show up, and he set Ms. M to simply use a wheelchair, non-American, she has to say ...... Spanish, speaks simple English, but often comes Spanish. Status is a special overseas employee of the company, living in Spain.
Anfeng's Spanish is still very good, there are many Spanish speakers in southern California, and I often hear people say Spanish on the streets of Los Angeles.
Ms. M is still only a preliminary positioning, and at present, An Feng is focusing on improving Mr. L's.
Since he decided not to be an all-powerful scientist, these virtual humans will have to take his place, and when there is advanced intelligence or artificial intelligence in the future, he will not even need to go into battle in person, and the intelligence will handle all this. It's quite far away, and the GP gang is still going to school and experimenting.
Will the virtual human be exposed...... An Feng had specially considered them when he created them, he specially flipped through the books on computer network technology, and also humbly asked the senior technician of the GP company for advice, after consolidating the foundation, coupled with the technology in his head, the secrecy was still in place.
After storing Mr. L, An Feng went home.
In the future, he can also use the created virtual person in the study at home, and go back to complete the rest of the things.
……
Bill. Cook, the project leader in Superconductors' R&D department, was recruited when high-temperature superconductors shocked the world when they raised their critical temperature to minus 15 degrees Celsius. The previous breakthrough is ready to receive the Nobel Prize, and the rest continue.
Those who develop superconductors do not necessarily understand the commercial application of superconductors. Like the making of superconducting generators, this is more inclined towards industrial operations. Cook is also committed to the research and development of superconductors. The focus is on the use of superconductors, and the previous company couldn't keep up with the pace, so he jumped ship to get better.
Cook's main work is superconducting generators, the thermonuclear industry, and nuclear power generation.
Superconducting generators are smaller and produce more electricity, and they are needed all over the world. The prospects for superconducting lines are also wide, ranging from long-distance power transmission to precision circuits, such as computers. At present, the company has many R&D groups, all of which are seizing the time to develop technology.
Obviously, the development of superconductor companies is not only to provide superconductor raw materials, but to improve the one-stop business of superconductors, and become a real world technology giant - just like GP companies. Graphene has made them known as the world's No. 1 high-tech group and has attracted much attention.
Superconductor companies also have the hope of reaching the heights of GP companies.
Today is the normal working time, everyone is still hurrying, because once the results are produced, they will be rewarded by the company, which is linked to sales performance, doing the same means wealth and a better life, but today the Minister of R&D asked everyone to go to the holographic conference room.
After being notified. Cook went to the conference room with the others.
The minister said in advance, and the company hired domain experts. Each R&D team is required to cooperate with the ideas and concepts of experts and do what he says.
There was an uproar in the audience, all of whom were resistant to the company's decision, so why did the management think that they couldn't do it?
The minister knew this and said, "What you have achieved in the way of guidance, or cooperation. The amount of the company's incentives will still not be cut. ”
The mood of the masses disappeared, in fact, everyone was worried about getting a piece of the pie.
The shock of superconductors to the world is incomparable, and every R&D personnel who can enter the superconductor company are squeezing their heads and doing everything possible. If you can use beautiful men, it is estimated that someone will use it. Because the mass production of high-temperature superconductors means that success is close at hand.
It only takes one more step forward, and it's success.
Under this guarantee, everyone began to look forward to what the experts hired by the company were like, and many of them were highly educated, with doctorates and double doctorates, and even had some achievements. The experts hired by the company must convince them to cooperate.
The holographic generator flickered, light and shadow converged, and an old guy in a white lab coat with a rickety body appeared.
He wore a pair of outdated black-framed reading glasses, his hair was slightly bald, he glanced at everyone, he didn't even say hello, and began to start with the manufacture of superconducting technology, everyone despised it in their hearts, what kind of expert is this? But soon, he skipped the basics in a couple of sentences and talked about superconducting generators.
This is exactly what Cook is good at, he listened with great suspicion, but soon, he found that he couldn't keep up, and the other party's theories sounded very smooth, seemed to be correct, and solved some of his previous doubts very well, but unfortunately he didn't say it carefully enough.
He hasn't been able to savor it yet, and superconducting power generation technology is over.
Then came the other projects, Cook observed, the others all had shocked looks on their faces, and the silence in the audience proved that the codename "Mr. L" was absolutely correct, and soon there were complaints that he came empty-handed without notes, and there were also quick reactions to use mobile phone recordings.
That is, in just twenty minutes, all the arrogant people were conquered.
It's just that the speed is too fast to fully understand, and someone raised his hand to ask Mr. L to say it again, but this time the tone was very polite, and it was exactly the same as carefully handing over the paper to the supervisor and asking for inspection...... Mr. L took a cup of coffee and looked at them leisurely.
And far away in SLO, An Feng also watched in real time in the office.
Mr. L spoke a little faster, and they didn't understand it right away. Someone raised his hand in the back, and he switched Mr. L to his side, An Feng answered in the image of Mr. L, and explained that it was just a video just now, and more relevant content could be read according to the security level.
These companies all use the intelligent security system developed by GP, the high level can access more content, the low level can only access less important things, usually to increase the level requires background checks, the credit level is high, of course, the length of the contract is also a reason to affect the level.
After Mr. L finished speaking, he dismissed the meeting if he had nothing to do.
Cook reminisced about what he had just said, and immediately went to use his level to check it, fortunately, what Mr. L just said was recorded, and he could revisit it countless times. After that, he felt that something was closer to him, and if he worked a few more days, he would probably be able to come to a conclusion. (To be continued......)
