Chapter 958 Ruma Artificial Intelligence Laboratory
Qiao Liang flipped through the promotional materials for these old games, and each one was full of childhood memories.
At that time, he didn't have any financial ability, so he couldn't buy genuine games to support him. Even now, his memory of these games has been completely blurred.
Therefore, Qiao Liang still feels nostalgic when seeing these classic games.
"Don't say anything, just buy a replacement ticket!"
Qiao Liang didn't look through it carefully and directly paid for the collection.
This collection is not cheap. There are a total of eight games in it. The price of each game ranges from dozens of yuan to more than one hundred yuan. This collection is discounted by 40%, with a total price of 588 yuan.
Even after the discount, the price is quite expensive. After all, these are old games from more than ten years ago, and the gameplay is completely behind the times, not to mention the graphics and game mechanics.
As far as the game is concerned, the money is definitely not worth it.
But for a hardcore player like Qiao Liang, this money is actually equivalent to a "replacement ticket". After all, he had no financial ability at the time, so it is not bad to spend money to buy a wave of feelings now.
Now Qiao Liang's life is getting better and better thanks to games. It is understandable to buy a few games to support the development of domestic games. Besides, the materials of these games can be used to make videos in the future (probably).
After paying, Qiao Liang looked through the games.
"I miss "Landlord Game" so much. It's a pity that this game is interesting only when many people play it together."
""The Heroes", this can be regarded as a masterpiece."
""The Legend of the Sword" is considered to be of the highest quality among this batch of games, but it's a pity that the subsequent sequels are becoming more and more mediocre."
""Three Kingdoms Conquest"? This game was very mediocre. There weren't many players at the time, and it was copied from foreign games. It's barely acceptable for a dwarf to win a general, but it's not a good game."
"..."
"I just tolerated "Three Kingdoms Conquest". What the hell is this?"
Qiao Liang looked through these games. The previous games had pretty normal styles. Although the types and qualities of these games varied, some were well-deserved classics, and some seemed relatively niche, but overall
It's still barely acceptable.
When I looked back, I suddenly realized that there was a strange thing mixed in.
""Mission and Choice"? Isn't this the legendary shame of national tourism?"
"Why is this rubbish game still being advertised to cheat people out of money? It costs more than 100 yuan!"
"Officially insane?"
Qiao Liang almost thought he had seen it wrong.
He never played "Mission and Choice" back then, mainly because he didn't have the financial ability at that time, and it was impossible to convince his parents to spend more than 100 yuan to buy this game.
Later, the game's reputation collapsed, so there was no need to buy it.
Of course, just because Qiao Liang has never played this game does not mean that he has not heard of the "shocking" legend of this game.
Therefore, now that I see it appearing openly in this collection of domestic games, I feel even more incredible.
"How fast can this piece of crap sell for a hundred dollars?"
“Five dollars is too expensive!”
"Hey, wait a minute, is this the official improved version of the game?"
Qiao Liang suddenly felt that this matter was not as simple as he thought.
He immediately clicked on "Mission and Choice" to see if this was the official version that had fixed bugs and improved the gameplay.
…
Ten minutes later, Qiao Liang took his hands off the keyboard and mouse, looked out the window at the lake view, and began to think about life.
This game has obviously not been changed at all!
A mess of fragmented graphics, perfunctory sound effects, game bugs everywhere...
Qiao Liang has not been poisoned by the game "Mission and Choice" before, but he still didn't escape this time!
As for why he persisted in playing for ten minutes, it was probably a curiosity that drove him.
He really wanted to see how rubbish this game could become? Did the official put it up without any changes at all?
Now it is clear that this game is indeed useless, and the official released it without any changes!
Of course, if we put "Mission and Choice" back on the official game platform based on the ideas of "enriching the game library of the official platform", "bearing in mind the shame", and "faithfully recording the garbage games of the past as a wake-up call for all game companies",
There is nothing wrong with that.
But the official also mixed it with other domestic games of the same era to make a collection. What does joint promotion mean?
Does it reflect how good other games are?
Qiao Liang was speechless. He switched back to the desktop and took a look. This game collection was bundled with a 40% discount when purchased, but each game can be refunded individually, and the refund conditions are extremely loose.
Qiao Liang couldn't help but suddenly realized: "Oh, I understand."
"This official collection actually has the effect of 'remembering the bitter and thinking of the sweet'."
"This collection does not select the best games of that era, but the most topical, representative and even controversial games of that era!"
"There are very excellent classic games here, such as "Landlord Game" and "Heroes", as well as "Three Kingdoms Conquest" which is relatively niche and has poor sales but is of a special type, as well as negative teaching materials of poor quality.
"Mission and Choice"."
"The official set up this option of individual refunds is because we know that players will definitely not accept some of the games at all."
"So players can choose games they are not interested in and refund them without suffering any financial losses."
"I see, that makes sense."
Qiao Liang quickly thought of a relatively reasonable explanation.
And this is exactly what Meng Chang wants to achieve.
Meng Chang has already thought that in this "domestic game collection", the game "Mission and Choice" will definitely look out of place.
If other games are classics that are worth collecting, wouldn't it be too obvious to put "Mission and Choice" in this collection?
Therefore, in order to reduce the doubts of players, although the eight games selected in this collection are all classic games from more than ten years ago, not every one of them is worth the money. For example, "Three Kingdoms Conquest" is a relatively small game.
It’s a game that’s popular, doesn’t sell well, has a decent reputation, but is unique enough.
By opening a special refund option for a certain game, you can minimize the chance of being discovered.
Meng Chang also considered whether to set up this collection to be a package with all other games sold, and only "Mission and Choice" needs to be purchased separately, so as to minimize the chance of "accidental injury".
But then he thought about it, this would be tantamount to excluding "Mission and Choice" directly, which would be too strange and could easily trigger some strange associations among players.
So, in the end, I chose this confusing method.
Facts have proved that this method is quite effective, and Qiao Liang was deceived.
Of course, the premise of all this is that Tenda's confidentiality work is done well.
The outside world does not know that Tenda is developing a remake of the game "Mission and Choice", and most people will not think of it in this regard, and Qiao Liang is no exception.
He opened his fan group and found that there were a few sporadic messages in the group discussing this collection.
It just didn't cause much trouble. After all, most players didn't have much interest in this kind of antique game. People like Qiao Liang were in the minority after all.
A few brothers complained a few words about the game "Mission and Choice", and then they were overwhelmed by the overwhelming messages in the group, and quickly disappeared without a trace.
Qiao Liang didn't take it too seriously. He played so many "Xi Plus One" games every day, and most of them might not even be opened, and today's game collection was no exception.
Unless it was a special big production, he would not wait to open the game immediately and complete it in one go.
Just after turning off the game collection, Qiao Liang fell into confusion again.
What should I do?
I really haven’t had much inspiration lately, and I haven’t been able to update the video for a while.
Suddenly, Qiao Liang had a flash of inspiration.
"Let's do another issue of 'Trash Game Complaint'! Isn't "Mission and Choice" just the material to be provided?"
Qiao Liang suddenly thought of a good way to make water videos.
Although the game "Mission and Decision" has been criticized repeatedly as a shame in the national game, in recent years, there are almost no UP owners who have criticized it. After all, this game is too old, and many players still don't know it.
You know, the heat has passed long ago.
Qiao Liang felt that it would be a good thing to make a video to complain at this time and take the audience to recall the garbage games that were so bad back then!
Thinking of this, Qiao Liang made up his mind to do this in the next video!
…
…
At the same time, Pei Qian sat in the car and yawned.
The sunshine outside was nice and kept him warm.
Originally, he should have taken a good nap at this time, but he couldn't because he had something to deal with.
In the morning, Jiang Yuan, the head of OTTO Technology, called and said that preparations for the artificial intelligence laboratory were almost complete. He hoped that Mr. Pei would come to inspect and guide the work.
This time, it directly acquired a wholly-owned company that researches artificial intelligence, and also poached several technical backbones from other companies such as Xunke Technology.
This company has already achieved some results, but it cannot compare with leading companies like Xunke Technology. In order to better communicate and collaborate between the two parties, dozens of employees of this company have all moved to Jingzhou.
OTTO Technology arranges accommodation and office space for them.
Of course, some employees of the original company resigned because they did not want to leave their original city, but they were only a minority. After all, the premium for hiring people this time was high, and everyone knew how good Tenda's treatment was.
Although the team hired with a lot of money has already produced some research results and can run smoothly even if it is completely ignored, Jiang Yuan feels that it is still necessary to let Mr. Pei guide and determine the direction of the research.
After all, artificial intelligence is related to many industries of Tenda. This technology has many branches. The specific direction in which it develops may affect Mr. Pei's overall layout of Tenda's industries, so he must not be careless.
As for Pei Qian, he really needs to change the research direction of this artificial intelligence laboratory a little, and try not to let it have too much positive impact on his current industry, so as to ensure that after spending these tens of millions, there will be no There are too many useful results, so that I can continue to throw money into it with confidence and boldness in the future.
Soon, OTTO Technology arrived.
Jiang Yuan was already waiting downstairs and took Pei Qian directly to the office of the artificial intelligence laboratory.
"Mr. Pei, this is the head of the artificial intelligence laboratory, Shen Renjie."
Shen Renjie looks to be in his late forties. He is dressed casually and has the characteristics of a programmer. He seems to be a relatively pragmatic person.
After getting to know each other, Shen Renjie said: "Mr. Pei, how about I call the key members of the laboratory to introduce them, and then explain to you the current research results of our laboratory?"
Pei Qian raised his hand: "No need, I can rest assured that you will do your job. Let's get straight to the point."
Jiang Yuan nodded: "Okay, then let's go to the conference room to talk."
The three people came to the conference room and took their seats.
In fact, Pei Qian doesn't care about the personnel composition or research results of this laboratory. He only cares about whether this laboratory can continue to burn money for himself safely.
So, first come up with a good name and look for a good omen.
Pei Qian took a sip of tea and asked, "Does the laboratory have a name?"
Shen Renjie replied: "Yes. Previously, the name of our laboratory was 'Qilin' Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, because Qilin is an auspicious animal in ancient China, with extraordinary intelligence and auspicious meanings, which is similar to artificial intelligence." The smart theme fits better.”
Pei Qian's brows immediately wrinkled, he shook his head and said, "That's inappropriate."
Jiang Yuan said: "Then let's just call it AEEIS Artificial Intelligence Laboratory. After all, AEEIS is our current main artificial intelligence product. This name is nice and easy to remember."
Pei Qian shook his head again: "It's still inappropriate."
Good guy, is it okay to call me Qilin?
This name is so domineering, it always makes Pei Qian feel a strong sense of crisis.
It is not appropriate to call it AEEIS Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, because AEEIS is already popular, and Pei Qian does not want this artificial intelligence laboratory to become popular again.
Jiang Yuan and Shen Renjie looked at Mr. Pei, meaning this won't work and that won't work. Can you give me a suitable name?
Pei Qian thought for a moment and then said: "In my opinion, let's call it the 'Roma' Artificial Intelligence Laboratory!"
If it’s not appropriate to call it Qilin, then let’s do the opposite!
The so-called bad horse refers to a horse with very poor qualifications and is not outstanding. It is also called a bad horse. In layman's terms, it is an inferior horse that is stupid and slow.
Pei Qian vaguely remembered that he had read an ancient text somewhere before: "A horse measures three things, one is called a military horse, the second is called a field horse, and the third is called a slave horse."
The general meaning is: there are three types of horses, some are war horses used to fight on the battlefield, some are field horses used for plowing, and some are horse horses that have no eggs.
The purpose of naming this artificial intelligence laboratory "Huma" is to hope that the artificial intelligence developed will be stupid and stupid, and the research speed will also be very slow, and in the end it will be useless.
Jiang Yuan and Shen Renjie were both stunned.
"Roma" Artificial Intelligence Laboratory?
This name is too dull!
Isn’t that “Qilin” sounding pretty good? Oh my god, it’s been downgraded. I don’t know how many levels can it still be good?
Pei Qian had an unfathomable expression. Anyway, as long as he was not guilty, someone else would definitely be guilty.
