Chapter 430: Yang Yue uses a virtual machine for the first time
"Can you spawn a cat?" Excited, Yang Yue said again.
"Yang, as I said, I can only generate some simple graphics with Virtual Machine 007 at the moment. This was not only because 007 was too rudimentary, but also because I lacked adequate training.
If you had to ask me to spawn a cat, I'd probably only give birth to a blurry image, like this. ”
Max said, and all the previous images on the big screen disappeared, and suddenly a black cat appeared.
This black cat has the shape of a cat, but there are many unnatural fur edges around the edges, and there is no trace of fur inside, and the cat's eyes are white with black spots.
I saw that it tried to move, but its movements were slow and sluggish, not like a cat at all, and it lasted for about ten seconds, and then kept repeating the previous circular action.
Max removed his helmet as well and emerged from the seat compartment.
Yang Yue looked at the picture of the black cat repeating the circle on the big screen, and was inevitably a little disappointed.
When he heard Max say that Virtual Machine 007 had been developed, he thought that he could directly generate all kinds of desired images as described in some networks of the earth's space-time.
I didn't expect it to be so difficult and rough just to spawn a black cat.
In this case, it will probably take a long time for the virtual machine to reach the real practical stage.
Thinking of this, Yang Yue looked at Max and asked, "Max, tell me honestly, how long will it take for this virtual machine to enter the real practical stage?" ”
"Yang, you have to understand that the transformation of any scientific results into practical applications is not achieved overnight. As far as scientific research is concerned, my research and development of virtual machines has actually been successful, but there is still a lot of work to be done before it can be put into use, and it will take two or three years to conservatively estimate. ”
Yang Yue frowned when he heard this, and said, "It will take two or three years?" You have spent more than two years on R&D, and it will take so long to optimize and perfect? ”
At this time, Zoe came forward and said in Chinese: "President Yang, don't get excited, listen to my father's words." ”
Max didn't mind Yang Yue's excitement.
He failed to research virtual machines more than ten years ago, and the attitude of the financiers towards him was much worse than that of Yang Yue now, and some even wanted to kill him directly.
At the same time, he can also understand Yang Yue's current mood - with so much money invested and so much expectation, who doesn't want to be able to see available products soon?
Max organized his words and said, "Yang, virtual machines will be as great as computers, and there is a long way to go in optimizing and perfecting them.
Next, we not only need to continuously optimize the functions of 007 to make it easier to use, but also need to build a huge database for it.
As long as the database is built quickly and well, it may be put into practical use within two years and has value in use. ”
Yang Yue also calmed down and asked, "What is this database for?" ”
Max explains, "You see, it's actually very difficult for us to use a virtual machine to generate an image out of thin air.
Don't think it's hard for me to spawn a cat, but that's the result of several days of training in my experiments.
If it is an ordinary person, even if it is a simple coil pattern in front of me, it will probably take more than a minute.
In this case, unless the functions of the virtual machine are enhanced by dozens or even hundreds of times, it cannot have actual use value.
Later, it was my daughter who inspired and convinced me – she told me that some software now uses existing materials as a database so that creators can complete their work quickly.
In this case, we can collect information about various things in the world as materials and build various databases.
In this way, the user of the virtual machine can directly search for materials from the database, quickly piece together the images he needs, and then modify and improve them to obtain his work.
It's not the best virtual machine I've envisioned, but it's definitely a great and useful product for most people. ”
Hearing this, Yu Shengrong on the side pulled Yang Yue more than a dozen steps away, and whispered in his hometown: "According to my understanding, what this Max means, you have to find someone else to be responsible for the database, and you also need to invest in another way."
You want the virtual machine to function well enough, but the investment in building a database is probably a lot of money.
Gu BaoYou should know that all kinds of ready-made data on the Internet now require money to buy.
If you collect it yourself, it will take time and effort, not to mention, you will need more money. ”
Yang Yue frowned when he heard this: "Can you estimate how much it will cost to build a usable and easy-to-use virtual machine database?" ”
Yu Shengrong sighed: "Although I don't know much about this aspect, it is conservatively estimated that it also needs 1 billion to build a foundation."
Of course, you can also work with some of the relevant companies and use their databases directly.
It's just that the virtual machine needs too much data, or unlimited, and even if you get all the existing databases in those companies, they may not be able to meet the basic requirements.
So, in the end, you're going to have to rely on your own company to build the database, and because the potential of virtual machines is so great, the requirements for the database are infinite and infinite.
In other words, the database company may require you to keep throwing money into it. Even when you die, as long as the company continues to open, you need to throw money into it.
Of course, this money is slow, and at the same time, you can also use the established database to obtain various benefits. ”
Yang Yue said: "You mean to say that this thing is capable?" ”
Yu Shengrong said with a smile: "I think you are capable, although you can't make quick money, and you still need long-term investment, but once you succeed, your hegemony in the future virtual machine industry will be unshakable, and even surpass Internet giants such as Ding Ding and Qiandu!" ”
Yang Yue nodded, indicating that he understood.
But he didn't make a decision directly.
Coming back to Max and Zoe, Yang Yue looked at the seat cabin again and asked, "Can I use this instrument to try the functions of Virtual Machine 007?" ”
"Absolutely." Maxwell smiled, "People who haven't undergone any training will feel very difficult to use, so Yang you have to be mentally prepared and don't be disappointed." ”
"I will."
Yang Yue said and sat down on the seat cabin.
Seeing that Max was about to come up and adjust the helmet for him, he couldn't help but ask nervously, "This instrument is not dangerous to use, right?" ”
Max smiled: "Yang, I am a person who loves life, and I was an experimenter of virtual machines myself, so at the beginning of research and development, I considered eliminating potential safety hazards.
So rest assured, you will not be in any danger if you fail to use it at most. ”
Hearing this, Yang Yue glanced at Yu Shengrong again, and when he saw Yu Shengrong nodding slightly, he said, "Okay, come on." ”
Max immediately skillfully adjusted the seat compartment and put the big helmet on Yang Yue's head.
Yang Yue only felt that his head was covered by more than a dozen soft and elastic bands, and the hairstyle he had made was estimated to be completely messed up in an instant.
But Yang Yue didn't care.
He only felt a slight chill on his scalp, and he didn't feel anything special other than that.
That's when he heard Max say, "Yang, you can lean your head down, close your eyes, and concentrate on imagining the figure you want in your mind."
Well, in fact, to use this 007, it is best to shave all your hair, which is more comfortable to use and the effect will be better, but unfortunately there is no hairdresser here, and you are a big star who needs hair.
Okay, I'm not going to be verbose, you concentrate and try to fantasize... Oh, my God! ”
Max finally stopped talking, but he didn't want to be quiet as he said, to give Yang Yue an environment to concentrate.
Instead, he was stunned by the image that had just appeared on the big screen.
