Chapter 355: The Masses Don't Really Care About Science

Luo Jia took Shen Lang and found the Rendering Engine Interest Group, although it was an amateur research, but after three years of continuous efforts, the members of the interest group still achieved amazing results.

"Mr. Luo, this is the old fan that has been re-rendered, Galaxy Railway 999, the author is the veteran comic master Matsumoto Lingshi." Jiang Dong, the leader of the group, introduced to Luo Jia.

The comic of the Galaxy Railway, serialized in 1977, was made into an animation in the 1980s, and from today's point of view, the picture is rough, and it is really a bit miserable.

However, after the re-rendering of the interest group, the old animation from decades ago has been brought back to life, and the graphics are simply dizzying, and the resolution, depth of field, color management, and restoration have all reached a quite amazing level.

Optimizing this kind of thing is to process on the basis of the original painting, the original painting is 60 points, at most 80 points, it is impossible to optimize the original painting of 60 points to 100 points, that is not in line with science.

Jiang Dong and they have achieved the optimization to the limit, except for the character shape and eyebrows, it can still be seen that it is the comic style of the eighties of the last century, and the rest is not much different from modern animation, especially the addition of a large number of light rendering, creating a wonderful sense of realism.

"It's a very good rendering engine." Luo Jia was surprised: "I don't know how versatile it is, what is the demand for server computing power?" ”

Jiang Dong explained: "The goal we set at the beginning was universal rendering, and we achieved this goal, whether it is an old game or an old animation, we have corresponding algorithms and strategies. ”

"As for the server demand,It's still quite big.,We're connected to the company's server farm in the background.,Once the server farm is idle,We'll meet the stitches.,Do some rendering work.,At present, hundreds of old and old games have been re-optimized.,But due to copyright issues,The optimized work can't be announced to the public.,Otherwise, it's infringement.,There's going to be a lawsuit.。

Luo Jia nodded again and again, the interest group has come up with such an awesome rendering engine, but it is still unknown, mainly because of copyright restrictions, the technology has been communicated internally, and it has never been announced to the public.

Anyone who hasn't worked in animation or games may never know how computing power is involved in rendering, not only with large servers, but also with deep pockets, and with supercomputers.

Yes, even a supercomputer like Galaxy One, a large part of the computing resources are used to render anime games, and similarly, this CG rendering technology can also be used in the production of movies and TV series.

In short, playing technology in the film and game industry is not only a test of the professional ability of engineers, but also a competition of computing equipment, in the movie theater, those special effects shots that make the audience's heart beat faster and exclaim loudly, behind the countless elite engineers, and tens of thousands of core efficient computer resources.

So far, Xingchen Technology has not set up a supercomputer project, but it has a set of super distributed computing clusters that amaze the world, only in Baoshan and Chongming Island, there are three large computer rooms, and the heat dissipation equipment is directly connected to the Yangtze River, pumping river water to cool the equipment.

Since the company has decided to take the technical flow of the entertainment industry, the fourth computer room dedicated to special effects should be put on the agenda, and the company's gradual migration to Chongming Island and Nantong is the overall plan that has been decided a long time ago.

"From now on, the Rendering Engine Interest Group will be transformed into the company's official project team to start the formal commercial application of the rendering engine, and at the same time, the original members of the interest group will receive a special bonus from the company as a sign of encouragement." Luo Jia announced in public.

……

Recently, the situation has been completely changed, and the news about Xingchen Technology occupies the headlines of the hot search list almost every day, and even in the most exaggerated days, half of the top ten hot search news is about Xingchen Technology.

The reason is very simple and very real, it is not that the people of the whole country suddenly lost interest in celebrity gossip and turned to care about a hard-core technical team like Xingchen Technology, but because Xingchen Technology has done two very down-to-earth things one after another, and the people like to see them.

And these two things are undoubtedly the establishment of the Department of Life Sciences, and the little ones of Star University trying to build their own entertainment empire.

The people who eat melons all over the world are simply crazy about these two things, the great progress in the field of life sciences means that life expectancy is extended and the possibility of eliminating various diseases, holding the imperial power and still kneeling to beg for immortality, let alone ordinary people.

Prolonging life is a matter of great temptation for people around the world, to put it mildly, you are the richest man in the world, Luo Jia may not be able to get whoever he wants, but if he has the key to immortality, no matter how big a star is, whether he is married or not, it is strange if he does not kneel and beg to warm his bed.

In fact, the Chinese people don't have scientific genes in their bones, and they prefer to believe in the set of cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods.

Back then, when bastard health products such as brain platinum swept the country, who knew that Huawei was desperately developing GSM technology, which was also the closest day to death since the establishment of Huawei, and it could collapse at any time.

Later, when Luo Jia and Mr. Ren drank together, Mr. Ren recalled that at the beginning, there was only bitterness, if the IQ tax paid by everyone drinking brain platinum was used for research and development, there should be a few more Huawei in today's Huaxia, and in the face of the North American trade war, it would not be so passive.

It's a pity, it's a tradition for ordinary people to drink brain platinum, it's useless for you to put the reason out, everyone just likes to drink brain platinum, like to pay IQ tax, besides, there is no brain platinum, there will be brain gold.

You don't see the 21st century, and scammers are still rampant all over the country, in the name of health care products, deceiving old men and old ladies to buy what kind of magnet mattresses, negative oxygen ion teacups and other ghost things.

In all fairness, the biggest move of Xingchen Technology this year is to enter the semiconductor field, as the crown jewel of the technology industry, the threshold of the semiconductor industry is high, and the cost of money is huge, which is unimaginable.

However, people's enthusiasm for the development of semiconductors in Xingchen Technology is too cold, at most, when they get the news, they shout Long live Xingchen Technology, turn their heads, and everyone immediately forgets about it.

After all, entertainment stars and immortality are close to life, and most people don't know the difference between inductance and telephone poles, electrical coupling and fried lotus root.

Anyway, the situation is so interesting, the new project of Xingchen Technology is being watched by the whole world, and every move has attracted much attention, while the semiconductor war of mobilizing the two major departments of hardware and software and mobilizing tens of thousands of top elites is quietly going on.

In August of the fourth year of its establishment, after large-scale restructuring and merger, domestic passive components began to be fully expanded, and at the same time, Xingchen Electric, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Xingchen Technology, located in Hengyang, Hunan Province, began to officially put into mass production of high-performance carbon crystal capacitors.

Immediately after that, led by Huawei, Xingchen Technology's partners formulated a new supplier access strategy, and all passive components used by suppliers must have Xingchen Technology's rotating galaxy mark, otherwise they will not be adopted.
