Section 19 Detonates the news
Just when Zhang Liang accepted the invitation, the news about "Extermination War" on the Internet had turned the world upside down.
After a few months of silence, the silent update of "Extermination War" directly detonated the major media after a whole day of fermentation, and a casual search on the Internet is countless reprinted or first published news.
However, this time is different from the previous media attention, this time it is not only the collective climax of the game media, but even the technology media and some serious media have also reported the news of "Insect War" from different angles.
A lot of coverage in the gaming press has focused on this improvement in graphics - after this update, some low-spec computers that previously looked like "paper" game graphics have evolved directly into at least 1080p cinematic graphics.
It doesn't seem like much just to say that, but the performance of a game on a bottom-end console platform is actually not much different from the performance on a high-end or even ultra-high-end console platform!
What kind of technology is this?
It is important to know that the performance of software has always been limited by the hardware level, and although it can get closer and closer to the theoretical limit of what the hardware can achieve under various optimizations, it is impossible to break through the hardware itself to reach a higher level.
Just like the volume in a refrigerator is a certain volume, no matter how full it is, the limit of what can be stored is only infinitely close to the maximum volume.
However, at this time, an elephant can be easily loaded into an ordinary size...... It can't help but feel ridiculous - it's as unbelievable as seeing a fat blue man pull a sedan out of his small pocket on his stomach in reality.
However, after the surprise, the mystery was quickly revealed - because of the unusual network activity of "Extermination War" when it was running, and the large amount of data exchange attracted the attention of some media outlets, when they tried to cut off the network, they found that the image quality of "Insect War" returned to its original level.
With a lot of network usage and incredible picture quality improvements...... the term "cloud online game" seems to have come to the fore!
"Cloud online game" is actually a "cloud online game", which is not a new concept in itself, and has been proposed a long time ago. It has the advantage of not having to upgrade the player's computer device, no downloads, and it doesn't take up a lot of hard drive space, just open it and play.
However, the high cost has made this concept still only stay in the category of "concept", and has not begun large-scale commercial application.
However, at this moment, just when industry insiders thought that this concept would not be practical for decades, and even thought that it would not be realized at all, the online version of "Insecticide War" quietly appeared in front of everyone, shocking the jaws of countless industry bigwigs with an extremely gorgeous posture.
As I said before, it's not just industry insiders who are shocked.
Some technology-oriented media have also paid attention to the performance of the online version of "Insecticide War", but they are not interested in the concept of "cloud online game", and their eyes are focused on the ...... of "Insecticide War" The translation system is on.
Could this be ...... A new generation of artificial intelligence!?
Due to the relationship between the intelligent AI of the Alpha Dog series, the attention of the world media to artificial intelligence is gradually increasing, just when the waves set off by Erfa Dog in the Go world gradually subsided, the sudden appearance of the intelligent language system in "Extermination War" surprised countless industry bigwigs again-
- This time, of course, in the field of artificial intelligence.
When Extermination War was released on the Steam platform, it came with a variety of language versions, which didn't attract anyone's attention at the time, but when several Europeans in different languages communicated without any barriers in the online version of Extermination War, it was discovered that the game actually had a real-time "listening and translation" system built-in!
You must know that language translation has always been one of the shortcomings of artificial intelligence, although the bigwigs in the IT industry have made a huge language database and usage habit database for computer translation programs, but after translating one language into another language with a machine, there are often some words that do not reach the meaning or even become a mess, which cannot be compared with human translation at all.
Language translators, especially those who can do simultaneous translation, are very senior talents, not to mention the high appearance fee, the number is extremely rare, and they can be regarded as the golden collar in translation.
But now...... In a game that costs tens of dollars, there is such a built-in translation function! This is simply buying a ring box and giving away a diamond ring - isn't it scary to buy a ring box and send a diamond ring!?
And such a language-based artificial intelligence can be said to have completely overwhelmed the limelight of the Alpha Dog series AI, and became the strongest in today's artificial intelligence field at the moment of its birth.
Its influence is so huge that serious media have begun to publicly report on the AI version of "simultaneous interpretation", which suddenly made "Insecticide War" break through the dimensional wall and have a huge topic effect on games, technology and mainstream media at the same time.
For a while, all kinds of discussions about artificial intelligence and simultaneous interpretation came all over the Internet, which also made the game media take action, in order not to miss this wave of hot spots, they began to frantically look for news spots......
…… And coincidentally, Zhang Liang happened to write a game review article with countless dry goods and sent it over, which is why he was invited to do an exclusive interview and live broadcast.
……
Chen Zheng thought that the media would report more or less when they updated the game, but what they didn't expect was that the intensity of media coverage would be so huge!
In essence, this update only moves some of the computation of game content to the cloud, and does not fully implement cloud computing - mainly taking into account the problem of cross-border networks.
The real-time translation system is a complete misunderstanding, just because the supercomputing system built on the Wild Star is controlled by the Tarot server - until now, the Wild Star Supercomputer is still in continuous expansion, and its computing power is basically allocated to the Tarot server for distribution.
Because of this, after being processed by the tarot server, the language communication automatically invokes the translation function of the tarot server - in order to adapt to a variety of different languages and different script races, it can be said that such a translation system is just a very inconspicuous ordinary function on the star path, but when it crossed countless light years to the earth and was discovered by the earthlings......
…… Its magic will naturally shock a large number of earthlings in related industries.
Among the many news, one of the suggestions that Bluestar Company should make a separate translation system into software and sell it attracted the attention of Chen Zheng and other high-level executives......
