Wang Lai finished introducing the basic situation ledger of the network, and asked Judy Plutonium to continue to introduce the computer software.

Describe the application of computers at the network level.

Finally, the online Go game developed by Judy Plutonium was specially displayed.

Several computers on site, connected to the network via twisted pairs, while opening the game program.

Build a battle game directly from your network address.

There is currently only one checkered board interface, and two jars for black and white pieces.

The operation is also very simple, just click on the jar with the mouse to get a chess piece.

Move to the intersection of the board and put it down, and you complete the operation.

At the same time, establish a connection between the two computers, and all the images are synchronized.

The operator of another computer also clicks on the jar with the mouse to get the chess pieces, which are placed on the chessboard to complete their own operations.

The game itself counts points and is displayed directly at the top of the interface.

Go is probably the easiest game.

The online version of the Go game developed by Zhu Diyu cannot be said to be mediocre in the eyes of later generations, but can only be said to be simple and rough to the extreme.

The screen is only solid black and white, and there are no options to set the interface, nor do you have any guidance prompts.

But this game has been recognized by a large number of craftsmen.

In the eyes of the craftsmen of this era, it was of great practical significance to let two people living in two separate places play against each other through computers and the Internet.

Shenzhou people may be inherently interested in communicating directly through the Internet.

Of course, there is another more important reason, and that is the identity of the developer Judy Plutonium.

After all, Go can only be regarded as a game, and the computer is an absolute working device at this time, and it can even be regarded as a scientific research equipment.

Normal official developers don't directly associate computers with games.

They also didn't think of developing entertainment tools on computers.

As for Zhu Jingyuan himself, he was even more shocked by his son's idea, knowing that what he made could be regarded as the starting point of an era.

This kid not only developed computer games, but also directly made online games!

This is the world's first online game!

This is just too far ahead of its time.

So much so that Zhu Jingyuan instinctively admired and wondered:

"Plutonium, your Go game is so groundbreaking that the game played on a computer may even form an industry in the future.

"But how did you just make an online game? Didn't do stand-alone mode? That is, a game that runs and operates on a computer? ”

Judy Plutonium was also very happy to receive praise from her father.

Not only because the other party is the powerful Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, but also because his own creation has been recognized.

As a person's regular needs, including food, clothing, housing, transportation, and status, Judy Plutonium has been greatly satisfied as a prince.

In fact, the pursuit of people at this level has only been recognized by others and even society.

Judy Plutonium explains her development process as a matter of course:

"What does my father mean by letting two people play black and white on the same computer?

"Or is it the equivalent of having a computer react to a human being and having the computer play against a human?"

Zhu Jingyuan said with a smile:

"You can do both, I should say you can have both.

"Your Go game, there should be people against the machine, on-site people against people, and network people against people, so that the three modes can be regarded as a complete game.

"When you have time in the future, you can make them all and put them together, and make an interface for selecting the mode after connecting."

Judy Plutonium didn't react at once:

"This ...... Father, the confrontation between man and machine, the son has actually considered it, but it is too difficult to achieve.

"I feel that computer microchips simply spell out the speed of calculation, and calculate simple mathematical problems, of course, far beyond our human brains.

"But computers can only run according to a programme, and can only calculate specific problems in order.

"And when you play chess, you can make a myriad of choices.

"It's very difficult to get a computer to make a relatively reasonable or even winning response based on human choices.

"Erchen has some ideas, but there are still exaggerated requirements for the computing speed of microchips.

"First of all, let the computer calculate the score of the computer and the person according to the number of pieces at present.

Then, after the person has made each step, continue to calculate the change in the scores of both sides after the computer responds at any point.

"At the same time, it simulates backwards how the subsequent score changes if a human responds at a certain point.

"It's like when players play against each other, check the next few moves.

"If you rely entirely on the pure computation of the chip, the amount of computation will be unusually large, and it is likely that only a few steps can be simulated.

"Or maybe each step takes a long time.

"And with the current computer chips, it may only be at the level of a novice.

"If you try to input the usual moves of a large number of games into a computer according to the habits of human chess players.

"That should greatly improve the speed and level of the computer's response.

"But it's highly dependent on the number of games stored.

"If someone comes up with a method that is not on the game, the level of the computer may drop to the level of a novice in an instant.

"And the memory capacity is limited, and the read speed is also limited.

"There's no way to exhaust all the chess moves......

"Therefore, we must also look forward to the computing power of the processor itself, and the performance of the account chip that is equally important, continue to upgrade.

"Erchen gives priority to playing directly against two people, in fact, in order to avoid these problems for the time being.

"The calculations are still done by people, and the computer is only responsible for recording and transmitting, as well as providing the score ratio of both sides at all times.

"So, if you don't play online, but two people on the spot, on a computer, it's no different than playing chess on an actual chessboard.

"The two people are already facing each other, and you can play directly with a chessboard on the spot.

"Now to move this thing to the computer, you have to look at the monitor with electricity, and it is not as convenient to use the mouse to operate as it is to directly hold the chess pieces.

"People who play Go can calculate the winners and losers themselves, and they don't need the computer to help calculate the winners......"

Zhu Jingyuan nodded lightly after hearing this.

There are some problems that Judy Plutonium mentioned that she did not immediately realize.

Human-computer confrontation, in a typical modern confrontation game, is usually a simple mode or practice mode.

People are obviously harder to fight.

But from a development perspective, man-machine confrontation is a difficult mode.

Especially in the earliest stages of game development.

It is necessary for the computer to have basic skills when facing the player, and to appear less mentally retarded in the confrontation with people.

Make the player feel the basic challenge.

This requires developers to work on computer scripting so that the computer can respond intelligently enough to human actions.

Human-to-human confrontations can skip this link and turn the player's opponent into another player.

In the early days, computer games were also more human-to-human games.

But Zhu Jingyuan has always adhered to the belief that having difficulties is not a reason not to do it.

The virtual role played by the computer in video games is the most important starting point and experimental object of artificial intelligence-related technologies.

So Zhu Jingyuan nodded and directly encouraged:

"You're right, you're right, so don't be afraid of any difficulties.

"I can ask you to spearhead the formation of a comptoir that will specialize in developing games that run on computers.

"You can develop with the next generation of computer platforms to get the most out of your computer.

"A game in which humans and computers play against each other is a game in which a person can be entertained and experienced by himself without accommodating others.

"Predictably, there must be a very broad practical demand for this kind of work.

"It's also the basis for more complex multiplayer games.

"As for the game of two people playing live on the same computer, of course, it also has its existential significance, and it has a very big significance.

"When you put Go on the computer, it's no longer a traditional game, it's something else.

"You can play Go in a room with two people, of course.

"But is table tennis okay? Even table tennis is fine, but what about basketball and football?

"Even, can you hunt in your room or even shoot people directly?

"Is it possible to build a manor or even a country with your own hands in the room?

"You have ...... Has there ever been a question that has been considered.

"With the most basic bamboo slips, paper, pen and ink, we can record words, calligraphy and paintings.

"Then we can read and appreciate the texts, poems, and songs created by others at any time.

"But that's all we can do.

"If we want to listen to music, we have to find people to play live, we want to watch opera, and we also want to see people perform live in the opera garden.

"With tape recorders and video recorders, we can record poetry recitals, music performances, and opera performances.

"We can also listen to the articles and music at any time, and watch the opera performances at any time.

"We've also created movies that can bring a thing directly to more people in a near-real state.

"But that's all we can do.

"The audio and video recordings are fixed, and even if the pictures and special effects are realistic, we can only be a complete spectator.

"But on a computer, we can be a direct participant in the story, just like playing a game.

"We can incarnate as Zhao Zilong and enter and exit seven times on the battlefield of Changbanpo.

"We can also incarnate Zhuge Kongming and go north to Cao Wei.

"Even, we can go to heaven with Sun Wukong, and go deep into hell to modify the book of life and death.

"The computer platform, the game on this platform, should not only be a game, but also a new carrier of culture and art.

"A more holistic and refined art form.

"In addition to incorporating the sound and image of the film, there is also the possibility for people to participate directly in it.

"You can be, opera, movie this kind of fixed story.

"It becomes one that can change in the course of development according to the decisions of the participants...... A new virtual world.

"First of all, we can play the role in the opera, in the movie, and do what he has done.

"We can also make a different choice in these things than he did in the first place.

And then create a ...... A ...... that is constantly changing in the process of development A new fantasy world.

"You can create the environment and people of a certain era according to the historical records.

"We can make a different choice than we have historically been, and then simulate the outcome of another possibility.

"You can also create a world completely different from reality according to your own thinking, and there can be a world of gods, demons, fairies, ghosts, Buddhas, and even visitors from outside the world.

"Right now, our computers are limited in performance, and we can only make the simplest possible picture.

"But the performance of computers will continue to improve, and the things we can make will become more and more complex and refined.

"Maybe one day, the picture on the computer monitor can be the same as if we were looking at a real person.

"As long as we work hard in hardware R&D and process development, this day should not be too far away."

Judy Plutonium listened to Zhu Jingyuan's words, felt direct encouragement, and instantly understood the significance of man-machine battle.

But the more important things are obviously the things that Zhu Jingyuan introduced later.

On the computer, create an interactive world with a variety of options and possibilities, another fantasy world.

Judy Plutonium felt that the possibility proposed by her father directly touched the deepest part of her heart.

This should be what I really want.

Something that can be pursued with all the time and energy of a lifetime.

According to Zhu Jingyuan, it is not just a game, it can even be said that it is not a game.

Even if it is a pure game-related industry, it will not be discriminated against within the scope of Daming, and it is even likely to be sought after.

China has a tradition of beware of "playthings losing their minds", and also has the need to pursue a standard of living.

If the founders of the dynasty were the traditional nobles or the wealthy class, they might not have touted the spirit of hardship and hard work from the beginning.

The typical representatives of them are the Tang and Song dynasties.

The enjoyment of the nobles of the Tang Dynasty and the living standards of the citizens of the Song Dynasty are unique in history.

If the founders of the dynasty were working people, then in the early days of the dynasty, it was common to guard against entertainment.

But in the later stage, it will be completely uncontrollable, and various folk entertainment methods will emerge in endlessly.

The most typical representative is the Ming Dynasty before Renwu.

In Zhu Yuanzhang's era, there were strict regulations on what clothes different types of people wear, what houses they live in, what things they use, and how much money they spend on marriage.

And the standards are very low.

Obviously, it is to ask everyone to endure hardships together to save money.

But by the middle and late Ming Dynasty, all kinds of rules and restrictions existed in name only.

A large number of romances represented by the Four Great Strange Books are the products of the increasingly large entertainment needs of the citizen class.

If the emperor doesn't take the initiative to intervene, then no one will take the initiative to stop these things.

At the same time, in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, there was no resistance to any strange tricks.

The Jiajing Dynasty learned from the Portuguese to make the Furlong cannon, and Qi Jiguang improved the tiger squat cannon on this basis.

In the Wanli period, he learned from the Portuguese to make the Hongyi cannon.

Before the 19th century, the land in Macao was not a concession, and neither the Ming nor Qing dynasties ceded Macao to the Portuguese.

In the eyes of the imperial courts of the two dynasties, the nature of Macao was similar to that of the Frontier Tusi, which paid taxes to the imperial court and was subject to management.

If the court had a need, they would also organize men to fight together to show their loyalty.

Therefore, the Ming Dynasty made a lot of Western "things" through the Portuguese.

During the Chongzhen Dynasty, Western missionaries even participated in the compilation of almanacs, citing the astronomical research of Taixi.

The Chongzhen Dynasty also appeared in the Tiangong Kaiwu, a masterpiece of agriculture and handicrafts.

On this basis, Emperor Guangwu, who was born in the royal family, recreated the Ming Dynasty with modern memories.

Then, of course, he continued to develop the handicraft industry, pushing the Ming Dynasty to start the industrial revolution.

In the process, there is no thought of banning entertainment.

Now the Ming Dynasty has entered the industrial age and entered the era of large-scale urbanization.

Civic entertainment is an indispensable thing.

The Supreme Emperor also made a closer to the real movie on the basis of opera.

Wang Lai and other high-ranking officials also have a bright sense of the possibility of restoring history and participating in it.

Others directly involved in the development of the program felt a similar touch to Judy Plutonium.

Create a world inside your own computer.

Many people at the scene have naturally begun to imagine what kind of world they should make.

Some people want to restore the hegemony of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and some people want to reproduce the heroes from the end of the Han Dynasty to the Three Kingdoms.

Some people also directly thought of the Journey to the West mentioned by Zhu Jingyuan, and then created a world of gods, demons, fairies, ghosts and Buddhas on this basis.

Of course, some strange ideas flashed through the hearts of some people, such as secretly making a strange book that was not on the table......
