Chapter 68 Is this a lie-gun?

Nearly five thousand players, each person uploads two templates per hour on average. By 6 pm, the custom templates had reached nearly one hundred thousand.

The amount of data is not a problem. Both the client and the server have the Aquarius engine, and what is uploaded is the structured data of the database, rather than the large-capacity unstructured data of the images and videos. The problem is that these new templates are mixed with a lot of uncivilized content, not only erotic, but also religious and political. If the game is officially operated, let alone Wu Sihao, Xia Ming would have to go to the relevant departments to have a few cups of tea.

Even if it is internal testing, it is dangerous to be spread out by those who are interested. The illusion has mobilized all employees to conduct manual review, but such a number still cannot be watched.

After Xiaohuan finished her stay, seeing that everyone was busy with this matter, even Xia Ming stared at the server's template library, happily went to the computer in the seat next to Xia Ming to help, but Xia Ming picked it up. Just kidding, he had just killed a "G cup breast brick" uploaded by a player. How could Xiaohuan get into this big sludge pit?

"Let's finish the test early today. I will tell you about the Cicada taking over the template review." The Phantom is all technical personnel, and Xia Ming doesn't want them to be held back by this matter.

Something really happened, but this situation is a bit ridiculous. In the final analysis, it is overestimating the players.

The 5,000 internal test qualifications were distributed through crowdfunding and following the first batch of Amateur consumer versions of the special price. Players are distributed around the world, but most of them are in China. These players are either college students and white-collar workers, or freelancers, with high quality, but the average value of these people in the atmosphere is so troublesome. What will happen when they are officially launched? It is really unimaginable.

Wu Sihao said: "It is not difficult to solve this problem. I have a set of image recognition software. There are many companies in China doing this."

Xia Ming shook his head: "The efficiency and recognition rate are too low, and it depends on hardware-level solutions. I think about it first, and it will be done at the public beta. The test can only allow the cicada to manage manually, and then use means such as permanently sealing the ID card, and take a two-pronged approach."

If Xia Ming uses auxiliary intelligence to take over the review, he can handle it alone, but he certainly cannot keep a part of his attention on the game. Moreover, when "Phantom Galaxy" is officially launched, the number of templates that need to be reviewed will increase to a very terrible level. If the solution is not solved in advance, he will only be able to sit on wax at that time.

This trouble is also related to the neuronal chip that Xia Ming and Xiaotang talked about. IBM's first generation TrueNorth proved the power of neuronal chips by relying on its image recognition capabilities.

Xia Ming was determined to step on IBM's shoulder and go further. This was an opportunity for verification. However, it would not be a short time to get out a neuronal chip. After the test, the test can only use the Triple Leaf Crocodile architecture to simulate the neuronal chip and temporarily withstand this matter.

The first day of the test of "The Milky Way of Phantom" was a bit tragic for Xia Ming and Wu Sihao.

A building in Haidu Hi-Tech Park, headquarter of Legend Interactive Entertainment Group, project manager Hang Xiangbei looked at the lines of words on the screen, typing the table with knuckles, and hummed a cheerful tone.

"Because of adjusting the template review system, the test ended early today. Thank you everyone."

He laughed and said to himself, "I thought you could create miracles every time, it's really disappointing."

After going to the vice president's office, Hang Xiangbei said to his boss in a relaxed tone: "It is impossible for "Phantom Galaxy" to be publicly beta in the first half of the year! The basket I measured today is too big, and unless they have a manual review team of thousands of people, they cannot solve this problem. If you want to use recognition software, you have to adjust it for several months."

His eyes were filled with enthusiasm: "Half a year is enough for us to encircle the market!"

Vice President Tian Chong's face was very heavy: "Do you know how much time it took for Xia Ming and those who took to get the Amusu engine?"

Hang Xiangbei was a little uncertain: "I heard it was three months, but Merkrit technology has been out for ten years, so it makes sense so quickly."

"Three months!" Tian Chong sneered: "It's actually one month! As for Merkrit, since it has been out for ten years, why didn't IBM or Microsoft get it done?"

Seeing Hang Xiangbei stunned, Tian Chong said slowly: "Although I have never had contact with Xia Ming, I have talked with Zhang Zhicheng and Wu Sihao, and I have also read the paper sent by Lawrence to ICCV. The core of the Aosu engine is a brand new hardware system. If you move forward, the neuron chip is the closest step to it. Compared with IBM's neuron chips, Aosu also has a quadruple advantage. Do you know how capable the neuron chip is in image recognition?"

Hang Xiangbei continued to be confused, Tian Chong asked and answered: "To complete the same image recognition work, TrueNorth's efficiency is one hundred times that of a general-purpose processor, but its energy consumption is only one ten thousandth! The performance of the neuron chip developed by Aosu will only be higher than that of IBM's TrueNorth, and will never be lower!"

This former Mojang backbone who was poached by Legend Interactive Entertainment was quite frustrated at this time: "Why is Vision so anxious to push "Vision Galaxy"? They created the Avalokitesus Engine, and they are subverting the cornerstone of IT graphics and image technology. How could they turn their attention to the game?"

Even though Hang Xiangbei didn't understand technology very much, the basic logic made him understand a little: "The Illusion Galaxy is just what they used to verify technology?"

"That's right! What technology is verified? It may be the back-end server architecture, it may be neuron chips, and more likely both. In January this year, Xia Ming, Wu Sihao didn't even go to Lawrence in the United States. Is there a problem with the technology? Of course not. We see that the sales and applications of Gallika and Aosu engines have been rolled out. This shows that their target is not the consumer market, but the foundation of the entire IT!"

Tian Chong was a little excited: "From today's situation, they will definitely get the neuronal chips first! I expect that they will either publish papers on ASPLOS or STOC, and then publish products on CEE. After all, the root of the illusion is in China."

Tian Chong only understood half of what he said. CES is the International Consumer Electronics Expo held in Las Vegas in January every year, and CEE is the International Computer Industry Expo held in China in June every year. As for ASPLOS, STOC and other things, he was completely blind. It is probably a top global computer academic conference similar to the ICCV of the International Computer Vision Conference.

I don’t care about any meeting. In short, Tian Zhong means that the Phantom will release neuron chips by June this year at the latest, and it is a mature solution that has been verified by application. This means...

Hang Xiangbei's face changed a little. That is to say, "Phantom Galaxy" will be held in public beta in April and May at the latest. The current problem is just to provide application scenarios for neuronal chips, which will definitely be solved at that time?"

Hang Xiangbei suddenly felt ache in his head and his heart.

He is responsible for a very mysterious project in Legend Interactive Entertainment, with only one code name: W. In addition to the boss in front of him, only the CEO is aware of it, and outsiders are even less clear about it. The R&D team set up other companies to cover up their eyes and ears.

The "W" project is aimed at "Minecraft". This game has been popular all over the world for many years. It still stands firmly with its bottomless playability and growth added by various MODs.

Microsoft spent $2.5 billion to acquire Mojang, which was a social circle that was attached to "Minecraft" and made no achievements in the game itself. In recent years, the game has been shaking with social elements. But on the other hand, various private servers have been prosperous for a long time, only in China, on the PC side, and the annual market is 200 to 300 million. If the mobile phone side is included, it has to be 1 billion.

For Legend Interactive Entertainment, which accounts for half of the domestic games, a 1 billion plate is not small or large every year. But if it is profitable, the money you can earn is much more than the games under its own games such as Lulu, Tiandi Yin and Yang Sword. How much does it cost to operate such a game of pixel-style building blocks?

Unfortunately, when Legend Interactive Entertainment talked to Microsoft to discuss acquisition last year, Microsoft priced at $3 billion and never let it go. For Legend Interactive Entertainment, who just wanted to get a cheap price, this price was completely unacceptable.

I originally thought that this matter ended here, but I didn't expect that Mojang's former backbone, Tian Chong, wanted to return to the game, was poached by Legend Interactive Entertainment, and brought MC's core technology by the way. Of course, what is more important is how to avoid the backdoor of copyright disputes.

To put it bluntly, Legend Interactive Entertainment is preparing to copy "Minecraft" and then sweep away all the domestic private servers, and this piece of cake will be dominated by itself. This is also an old routine.

Just as Tian Zhong and Hang were preparing to go north in full swing, the news that Phantom was about to launch "Phantom Galaxy" came, which was a bolt from the blue for the two of them.

The two knew what happened to the Aosu Engine, and even planned to use the Aosu Engine to improve their "W". The Phantom wanted to use the Aosu Engine to copy "Minecraft" and have the "W" project to survive?

With a lucky mentality, they waited for the test of "The Milky Way" to see where it came from.

Now it is clear that Tian Chong feels that there is no chance for the "W" project. Since the boss who understands technology and games feels so, Hang Xiangbei's heart sinks like lead.

He has been working hard for almost a year for the "W" project...

Hang Xiangbei asked in a bleak tone: "Mr. Tian, ​​are you willing?"

"Of course I'm not willing to give up, but what's the solution? Just like the legend used to be a dance troupe, what else could those people in the dance troupe do besides crying? I'd known before..."

Tian Chong looked full of annoyance. Hang Xiangbei could guess what he said. If he had known that the illusion would be "The Milky Way", he would have gone to the illusion.

Of course, I knew it would never have been possible. After Tian Chong came over, he and Hang Xiangbei were busy for half a year before they got the game to a progress of only two or three months away from the first test. Who would have thought that from the announcement to the first test, "The Milky Way" was only one month away from the announcement!

Who asked people to directly use the editor of the Avalokitesus engine to change the babang and change the babang to become a game?

Xia Ming and his group are simply demons who break the mountains and cut down the temples...

Hang Xiangbei was silent for a long time and asked seriously: "Mr. Tian, ​​don't you really want to give up, right?"

Tian Chong smiled bitterly: "From today's test, almost all the winds released before "Phantom Galaxy" have been realized. The degree of freedom, playability, visual effects, interactive experience, completely crushing MC, and the expansion of the relationship with reality is even more unfathomable. We have also discussed it many times. Under the impact of "Phantom Galaxy", MC has only one pixel-style feeling, and 90% of MC players will choose "Phantom Galaxy".

He spread his hands and said, "It's not that I want to give up, but that's the reality. By the time the W project started testing, the direction of this type of game has changed. We can eat at most some leftovers."

Hang Xiangbei asked: "What if we can slow down the progress of "The Milky Way"?"

Tian Chong frowned: "Drag? How to drag? You are not thinking about using those methods, right?"

Hang Xiangbei shook his head: "It's just about business..."

Tian Chong didn't say anything, wanted to hear what else could Hang Xiangbei do.

"I remember what Xia Ming made a generous speech at Prometheus' press conference? Users are the first! He is carrying the sign that resists commercial capital and advocates that technology must stand on the side of users!"

As he spoke, Hang Xiangbei's confidence gradually became stronger: "Let's take a look at what interesting things will happen if his signature is broken."

"Talking about the key points", Tian Chong didn't understand very well.

Hang Xiangbei said: "It's simple, just let the player stand on our side." Mobile phone users should visit http://m.piaotian.net
