Chapter 355 The masses don't actually care about science
Luo Jia took Shen Lang to find the Rendering Engine Interest Group. Although it was an amateur research, after three years of continuous efforts, the members of the Interest Group still achieved amazing results.
"Mr. Luo, this is the re-rendered old anime, Galaxy Railway 999, the author is the old comic master Matsumoto Lingshi." Jiang Dong, the head of the group, introduced to Luo Jia.
The comic series of Galaxy Railway began in 1977 and was made into an animated film in the 1980s. From today's perspective, the picture is rough, which is really a bit terrible.
However, after re-rendering by the interest group, the ancient animations decades ago regained their vitality, and the exquisite pictures are simply dizzy. The resolution, depth of field, color management and restoration have all reached a very amazing level.
Optimization is based on the original painting. The original painting is 60, and at most it is optimized to 80. It is impossible to optimize the original painting of 60 to 100 points, which is not scientific.
Jiang Dong and the others have put the optimization to the limit. Apart from the characters' figures and eyebrows, it can still be seen that it is the comic style of the 1980s. The rest are no longer far from modern anime, especially the addition of a large amount of light renderings, creating a wonderful sense of reality.
"This rendering engine has good performance." Luo Jia said in surprise: "I don't know its universality, and what is the requirement for server computing power?"
Jiang Dong explained: "The goal we set at the beginning was universal rendering, and we also achieved this goal. Whether it is old games or old animations, we have corresponding algorithms and strategies."
"As for server requirements, it's quite large. Our backend is connected to the company's server group. Once the server group is free, we will take advantage of the situation and do some rendering work. At present, hundreds of old movies and ancient games have been re-optimized. However, due to copyright issues, the optimized works cannot be published to the public, otherwise it will be infringement and a lawsuit will be filed."
Luo Jia nodded repeatedly. The interest group had already developed such awesome rendering engine, but it was still unknown. It was mainly because of copyright restrictions. The technology has been in internal communication and has never been announced to the public.
People who have not been engaged in the animation or game industry may never know how consuming computing power is. They not only require large servers, but also wealthy companies, but also rent supercomputers.
Yes, it is a supercomputer like Galaxy One, with a large part of the computing resources being used to render animation games. Similarly, this CG rendering technology can also be used for the production of movies and TV series.
In short, playing technology flow in the film and game industry not only tests the professional ability of engineers, but also competes with computing devices. In the cinema, the special effects shots that make the audience's heart beat faster and scream loudly are behind countless elite engineers and thousands of core efficient computer resources.
So far, Xingchen Technology has not established a supercomputer project, but it has a super distributed computing cluster that surprises the whole world. There are three large computer rooms in Baoshan and Chongming Island alone. The cooling equipment is directly connected to the Yangtze River and extracts the river water to cool the equipment.
Since the company has decided to follow the entertainment industry's technical flow, the fourth computer room dedicated to special effects should be put on the agenda. The company's gradual migration to Chongming Island and Nantong is an overall plan that has been decided long ago. Luo Jia thought that it would be better to build the fourth computer room in Nantong.
"From now on, the rendering engine interest group will be converted into the company's official project group and start the formal commercial application of the rendering engine. At the same time, the original interest group members will receive a special bonus issued by the company to show encouragement." Luo Jia announced in public.
...
In recent times, the situation has completely changed. News about Star Technology almost always ranks on the hot search list. In the most exaggerated days, half of the top ten hot search news are about Star Technology.
The reason is simple and real. It is not that the people across the country suddenly lose interest in celebrity gossip and turn to care about hard-core technical teams like Xingchen Technology, but because Xingchen Technology has done two very down-to-earth things that the people like to hear.
These two things are undoubtedly the establishment of the Ministry of Life Sciences and the little guys at Star University who want to try to build their own entertainment empire.
The people who are eating melons all over the world are crazy about these two things. The huge progress in the field of life sciences means the possibility of extending lifespan and eliminating various diseases. They even hold the imperial power and beg for immortality, let alone ordinary people.
The temptation of prolonging life to the people around the world is too great. To put it incorrectly, as the world's richest man, Luo Jia may not necessarily get whoever he wants. But if he masters the key to immortality, no matter how big a star is, it would be strange if he doesn't kneel down and beg him to warm the bed.
The Chinese people actually don’t have scientific genes in their bones, and they are more willing to believe in the monsters and monsters.
Back then, when bastard health products like Nong Platinum swept across the country, who knew that Huawei was pursuing all the time to develop GSM technology. That was also the closest day since Huawei was founded, and it could collapse completely at any time.
Later, when Luo Jia and Mr. Ren were drinking together, Mr. Ren recalled that there was only bitterness at the beginning. If the IQ tax paid by everyone to drink Nao Platinum for research and development, today's China would probably have a few more Huawei, and would not be so passive when facing the North American trade war.
Unfortunately, it is a tradition for ordinary people to drink platinum. It is useless for you to put the truth out. Everyone just likes to drink platinum and likes to pay IQ tax. Besides, without platinum, there will be platinum gold.
Haven’t you seen it’s the 21st century, and there are still scammers all over the country, lying to buy old men and women such as magnet mattresses, negative oxygen ion tea cups, etc. in the name of health products.
To be fair, Xingchen Technology's biggest move this year is to enter the semiconductor field. As the jewel in the crown of the technology industry, the threshold of the semiconductor industry is so high and the huge amount of capital consumed, it is unimaginable.
However, people's enthusiasm for the development of semiconductors in Xingchen Technology is much colder. At most, when they get the news, they shouted "Long live Xingchen Technology" and turned around, and everyone immediately forgot about this.
After all, entertainment stars and immortality are mostly close to life. Most people don’t know the difference between inductors and telephone poles, electrical coupling and explosive coupling. People live their lives, whoever studies science all day long, isn’t they tired?
Anyway, the situation is so interesting. Xingchen Technology's new project is being stared at by the whole world, and every move has attracted much attention. However, the semiconductor war between hardware and software is being carried out quietly by mobilizing the two major departments of hardware and software and using tens of thousands of top elites.
In August of its fourth year of its establishment, after large-scale reorganization and merger, domestic passive components began to increase in volume. At the same time, Xingchen Electric, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Xingchen Technology, began to officially put into mass production of high-performance carbon crystal capacitors in Hengyang, Hunan.
