Capital and technology seem to be two contradictory bodies opposed to each other, in modern society, the latter's voice is getting smaller and smaller, and it is gradually suppressed by capital and unable to resist, and under the wielding of the big stick of capital, it is gradually declining, and gradually becoming a subordinate of money, which seems to show that money can buy a false truth.

But there are still a small number of people who adhere to their own ideas, insist on technology as the core competitiveness, and use legal weapons to protect their technological achievements, even if the speed of development is difficult, they are not willing to succumb to the obscenity of money, for example, ID-Software, they have rejected EA for the third time, and KTT for the eighth time.

At Distinctive's Canadian R&D center, Yang Yun secretly met with Brown, the new CEO of KTT, a new executive who has been honed and polished on Wall Street for more than 20 years and is a trader with rich experience in capital operation.

"Mr. Yang, this company's attitude is too tough, I'm afraid even if we offer $100 million, they won't agree." Brown sighed: "Even if Mr. Cao came forward, they would refuse!" ”

Yang Yun was a little surprised, he couldn't even do anything about Cao Kairui?

Blackstone Group can even win an international large company like ATI that has mastered the core hardware technology, but it has been closed to ID companies one after another, what else can Yang Yun say?

"They've got a bag in their heads!" Yang Yun smiled bitterly in his heart: "Are you really afraid that you will fall into bankruptcy and bankruptcy in the future, and no one will take over to save it?" Oh no, although I know he'll sell the whole thing in the future. But that was 2,000 years later, and now they are newborn calves who are not afraid of tigers. Passionate about entrepreneurship......"

"While we can't buy the entire ID company, we follow your instructions. We hired two core personnel with high salaries and obtained some of the core materials of the Doom engine. Brown carefully introduced that this is their biggest achievement in half a year, and I hope Yang Yun will not lose his temper because of this.

Yang Yun sighed, looked at the other Japanese sitting across from him and asked, "Suzuki, what progress have you made?" ”

Suzuki replied respectfully, "The two employees who came from ID are not the core engineers of Doom, to be precise, they have only been involved in the design of some of the features of the Doom engine. But luckily, they are top students at MIT. We developed a set of scientific algorithm models ourselves, and in the Doom engine engineering, we were responsible for our weakness - the physical system. ”

"Great!" Yang Yun finally heard some good news, and asked excitedly, "Are Tang and Jeff ecstatic?" ”

Brown was taken aback and asked, "How do you know?" ”

Yang Yun laughed, of course he knew!

The physics system in the 3D game engine is a very important functional module, an excellent physics engine, which can simulate the movement trajectory of various objects in the real world, so that the collision and movement that occur in the game. Various physical phenomena such as force and force show almost indistinguishable results from real life, and of course, this requires the processing power of the CPU and GPU to be strong enough.

Yang Yun knows. The first generation of Need for Speed games had big flaws in design, on the one hand, technology, and experience on the other. Distinctive wasn't a hit from the start, either, after many years. They're starting to dominate the racing genre.

Therefore, with MIT providing physical model algorithms, the "realism" of Need for Speed will be greatly improved. Players will feel as if they were there, and the most realistic physical sensation will be realized!

Yang Yun smiled and said, "Isn't the most headache in racing games the physics system in the game? Collisions, rolls, drifts, friction on different grounds, acceleration, now that there is an algorithmic model from MIT, Jeff will definitely be happy and unable to sleep! ”

Everyone let out a good-natured laugh, because Yang Yun was not wrong at all, with the addition of the physics system in the Doom engine, Distinctive's own racing game engine "Speed" has been further improved, and with ID's scientific and rigorous program format and engine package specifications, Jeff has optimized all his own code, and the harvest is not small!

In addition to the benefits of racing games, Yu Suzuki also gained a lot.

The Longteng "Stereo 2" engine he brought from Japan, only the physics system was not perfected, and now with the addition of Doom, he finally dared to proudly say to everyone that he was the biggest contributor to the "Stereo 2" engine!

Now, Need for Speed is no problem and can be released at any time.

At the same time, the biggest problem of Tomb Raider has been solved, and the effect and authenticity have been further improved.

In this case, Yang Yun is ready to try again one last time, this time he is ready to go out in person to persuade the ID company, which is equivalent to an ultimatum, he said: "Brown, arrange a meeting for me, I want to convince ID personally." ”

Brown and the others looked at each other, shocked by Yang Yun's persistence.

Yang Yun smiled bitterly in his heart, he did this purely to make himself feel more at ease, although more than 90% of the core engine of the "Stereo No. 2" 3D game is Longteng's own original, it doesn't matter if he buys the ID or not.

But he didn't want to fight the ID company head-on and beat it to a state of blood, when suddenly a rich company popped out of nowhere to buy the ID company and become a big trouble for Longteng.

You know, these five years are the golden age of Doom's game engine dominance in the PC industry, and in another five years, when Valve grows up, the 3D engine battle will become even more confusing.

Valve's Half-Life, CS, is all based on Quake, the successor to the Doom engine, and is definitely the most formidable opponent of Dragons in terms of graphics technology!

"I can't let these companies be my competitors!" Yang Yun's idea is as simple as that, "Especially if it can't be taken over by Microsoft, EA, Sony, these giant companies for their own use!" ”

ID-Software is headquartered in Texas, and while Brown arranges an appointment, Yang Yun traveled to Minnesota, met his old friend Alex, and visited his NBA team, the Minnesota Timberwolves.

The NBA draft ended in June, which was the time period for the World Cup finals, and Yang Yun didn't care about this, and now he looked at his new player, Don Yell Marshall, with a smile on his face, but he didn't pay much attention to the 4th overall pick.

Alexey and the current head coach of the team, Bill, followed Yang Yun and explained unclear issues to Yang Yun at any time.

After Don Yell Marshall introduced himself, Alexey added with some excitement: "The Bucks got Glenn Robinson, the Mavericks got Jason Kidd, the Pistons got Grant Hill, and our Timberwolves were the 4th pick and took Don Yell." ”

Looking at the detailed list of this year's draft, Yang Yun said that he was helpless.

The first three are all famous players in the next decade, and Robinson, the big dog, is a popular player in the Bucks mix, and is an All-Star regular with Ray Allen; Mavericks Jason Kidd, a 10-time All-Star and a championship for the Mavericks; Pistons Grant Hill, who won the All-Star vote in the 1995 season the following year, was evaluated as Jordan's successor.

Skipping the fourth place, the fifth is Zhu Wan Howard, who has two championship rings and has been teammates with three NBA players in China.

Let's go back to the Donyère-Marshall...... Yang Yun has never heard of this name, needless to say, in the future, this person will definitely disappear in the NBA major leagues with many talents, and become an unknown ordinary boy.

The Timberwolves are really a good rookie player......

"OK, that's it! Bill, I hope you won't be influenced by me, what to do, you let it go. Yang Yun decided not to bother the Timberwolves' arrangement, in case he intervened and let the Timberwolves improve a few places, and then he couldn't draw a good pick in 1995, and losing Garnett would be self-defeating!

For Alexey, Yang Yun has only one request, to keep it as it is as much as possible, not to participate too much, after all, the NBA is not Yang Yun's main business, and his acquisition of the Timberwolves is more to prepare for the future NBALive game.

In addition, in cooperation with the Shanghai Longteng Sharks Club, Yang Yunxian does not plan to make a big move, at most he will pass on the Timberwolves' scientific training system, diet recipes, or tactical arrangements to China.

But now that it's open, the Timberwolves' record can be said to be sparse, and they are the bottom of the league at every turn, and I don't know if the Big Sharks club looks down on the Timberwolves' painful experience!

Leaving Minnesota and heading to Texas, Yang Yunming's apparent reason was to go to Texas to learn from experience, the Dallas Mavericks are difficult brothers, the Houston Rockets are first in the Midwest, and the San Antonio Spurs are in second place, and Yang Yun's actions are not suspected.

But he did secretly meet with the CEO of ID-Software, John Carmack, a handsome young man with glasses who had just turned 24 this year.

In the first sentence of the meeting, John said with some displeasure: "For the sake of the face that you also like Lamborghini, I am willing to give you ten minutes to meet." Say, what do I want to do? If it's still the one that you bought with money, I advise you not to waste your strength......"

The other party crackled and said a lot, Yang Yun laughed instead of anger, and asked softly, "If I came to discuss the shortcomings of the Doom engine with you, would you be interested in listening to it?" (To be continued......)
