I played with guns until the evening, and I chatted with Rachel a few words on the way, but they were all polite exchanges. Meng Qian couldn't figure out the other party's character, so he didn't make a rash move. In the evening, we left by hotel bus, took a shower and went to dinner, picking up Harry on the way. Madsen's call, leaving tomorrow morning.

Flying by private jet was very efficient with no queues and waiting.

After arriving in Los Angeles, and then going to the other company, Madsen led the tour: "Follow me." ”

The workspace is a huge set of streets, vehicles, and interiors. Madsen chose an indoor environment, and the staff brought in a remote-controlled location truck with a round ball covered with cameras, a bit like a scaled-down version of Google's Street View car.

But the number of cameras here is more and more advanced, the remote control car slowly drives in the room, on the screen on the other side, the 360-degree panorama and details of the room are constantly being improved, and after the car goes back and forth several times, the three-dimensional map drawn in the computer is already very exquisite.

"At the same time, we have stored a large number of materials, which can be intelligently matched and optimized, which is countless times more efficient than traditional technologies," Madsen said. ”

Meng Qian asked, "Intelligent?" ”

Madsen is proud: "We've partnered with AI companies to make it faster than ever before for you to build game content. ”

Meng Qian also came up with an idea in a short time: "Mr. Madsen, we can talk about cooperation." ”

Madsen smiled, "Please follow me to the office." ”

If you want to say that this set of technologies may not be outstanding when used in movie special effects, but if it is used in VR games. It's simply tailor-made! Thanks to intelligent software and powerful detailing techniques, it usually takes weeks to design the scene. It could be done here in a day or two.

This not only saves money, but also improves the quality of the product.

What are users looking for most? There are bound to be excellent graphics in it. Third-rate graphics will greatly reduce the experience.

Meng Qian's intention to cooperate is very strong. After experiencing the technology, Madsen is also optimistic about the future, and the two sides have a very pleasant negotiation, Madsen said: "When our team in New York returns to Los Angeles, we can take over your tasks first." ”

"Looking forward to your team." Meng Qian was satisfied, and solved another problem.

……

The crowd talked about the evening and then the private jet home.

The aircraft is as efficient as ever, as it is using a navigable airport. There is no intersection with the transport airport used by civil airliners, which greatly simplifies the boarding and take-off procedures, as long as it is not too busy, you can fly immediately if you want to depart, without waiting.

It only took forty minutes and landed in Auckland with ease.

Meng Qian, who stepped off the plane, felt unprecedented efficiency. It's hard to imagine that he traveled back and forth between Las Vegas, San Francisco and Los Angeles in one day, talked about business, had dinner, and now had time to go to the bar for a drink. Go home and take a hot bath to sleep.

If you have the opportunity, you should really buy one for your convenience!

Meng Qian suppressed this thought first, and then dealt with the work.

He was in his office, thinking about the future. Both the hardware and software aspects have been taken care of, but the real fantasy is far away. There is still some way to go. The development of technology cannot be achieved overnight, in stages and step by step.

He drew on white paper. He wrote unintelligible symbols and abbreviated words, but the organization in his mind became clearer. First, he needed to set up a company with an initial investment of more than $100 million. He can use the money from the sale of new drugs in front.

Probably $150 million can be used, which is enough to start.

As for the name of the company...... Let's call it a "virtual reality company", of course, the name must be registered, but for the convenience and memorability of globalization in the future, it is possible to try to acquire it at a low cost - even the registration of the company is saved.

He found out that the "virtual reality company" has a registered capital of 5 million, the business situation is average, and there are some products and patents, but it is not a problem for Meng Qian, the funds are smashed to buy, and even the name of the company is taken. He wrote it down and did it.

With a company, there must be a team, Meng Qian already has a candidate, the research center is responsible for the intelligent machine project Jim. Johnson. Although he is not engaged in virtual reality, he can copycat when Oculus has not yet launched VR equipment, and he must have the ability.

As for the others, it is estimated that they will have to learn from the apple - digging the foot of the wall.

Virtual reality is a relatively rich field, and the core technology Meng Qian can provide, but other aspects, such as game experience and software optimization...... It is impossible for him to do it alone, just like he wants to cooperate with a holographic entertainment company, he must have a talent reserve.

Before I knew it, I had written a piece of paper all over it, and after looking at it a few times and being satisfied, I called Ralph.

"I recently had a new project." Meng Qian said to Ralph.

Ralph was surprised, Meng Qian's work, his assistant was no longer busy, and now there is another one added to the pharmaceutical, new energy, and research centers?

But surprise is surprise, professionalism let him listen to it first, record it, and then give feedback: "Boss, I think you need more assistants at the moment." ”

"Makes sense." Meng Qian also felt that he had a very big stall, but in order to make money, he had no choice, so he retired and went on vacation in his thirties while he was young and busy.

……

The company's affairs can be handled.

The hardware has been opened, the game software has been outsourced, and it's done.

But then there is the question: what about the software of the system? It's something for him to worry about. He once again picked up programming techniques that had been idle for a long time and studied a lot of algorithms...... It doesn't feel good, he doesn't want that kind of dry operation, it's better to be a little smart.

Artificial intelligence?

If the system is added with intelligence, it will definitely be a big highlight!

The advanced generation of hardware equipment and advanced game content must have an advanced system!

There are a lot of intelligent resources in the AI laboratory, and he went through a lot of information, combined with the technology in his head, and digested it...... But the ruler is short and long, he still has weaknesses in this regard, it is no problem to do a good job, but the efficiency is not high enough, he needs help.

"I want to borrow some experts from artificial intelligence systems to solve a little trouble...... Meng Qian will not let go of the existing resources at hand.

Intelligent systems, AI companies have commercialized – in the corporate sector, but at the level of individual consumers, there is still no action.

He has studied one of them that it is too large and complex for ordinary people to consume; The second is that it focuses more on the processing and calculation of huge amounts of data, and is useless to individuals.

But Meng Qian has an advantage, he can simplify and then face individual consumers on this basis, cut off functions that are not used by individuals, and then add features that cater to consumers.

"Artificial intelligence systems?" Tiger asked.

Meng Qian explained: "Based on the simplification of the original platform, the workload is not large, and based on the intelligence of the laboratory, it is generally no problem to weaken it." ”

"Then you come to Los Angeles." Tiger said.

Meng Qian took three members of his team and headed south to Los Angeles.

The 600-kilometer journey, but the efficiency of civil aviation made Meng Qian, who was eager to verify his thoughts, very unhappy, and compared the private jets he had experienced before with the current one, it was like a snail crawling.

I flew to Los Angeles and then took a car to Santa Monica, where there is also an AI lab.

Tiger met and said, "You made a game?" ”

Meng Qian corrected: "Game equipment and system software are oriented to the field of virtual reality. ”

"What's the difference?" Tiger asked, David. Freeman and Madeleine. Rosenstein was also puzzled.

Meng Qian had to explain: "You should have seen movies like 'The Matrix' or 'Inception', right? They can be described as a type of virtual reality technology. ”

"Did you achieve this?" Freeman was surprised.

"Not yet. They are too advanced to be possible with current technology. Meng Qian shook his head and motioned for John to take out the equipment.

"I'm doing this, head-on." He showed them things.

Tiger looked at the device and shook his head: "The Matrix is good, you don't count, it's not cool." ”

Freeman and Madeleine both nodded approvingly: "It's just kids' play, it's not interesting." ”

Meng Qian Khan, he forgot that he was facing a group of uncles and aunts born in the 60s/70s, and he was ...... in terms of games I'm afraid there is a certain generation gap.

He skips the questions of the game and doesn't dwell on them: "In short, in order to achieve this 'uncool' virtual reality, I need to customize the system of artificial intelligence, based on the company's platform foundation, but I am not familiar with the core and algorithms, so everyone? ”

Madeleine smiled: "David is looking forward to it, don't worry, we will help you." ”

"Thank you so much, ma'am." Meng Qian smiled, "I've been doing too much lately, and I've always short-circuited my brain on artificial intelligence. ”

"So, where do you want to start first?" Freeman asked him.
