Chapter 266 A layman’s imagination

Developing a virtual vision device is the same as developing a console. It is impossible to produce a game before the console is produced. [] According to conservative estimates, the Academy of Sciences will be able to produce the first virtual vision device by the end of 2007.

.And it won’t be possible to implement games on it until at least 2010.

"I'll go over there." Liu Xiang was also a little confused and strode into the laboratory. Xi Xiaoding and Yang Chaoran were smoking cigarettes in the office.

"Old Liu." Yang Chaoran saw Liu Xiang walk in, put out his cigarette, stood up and gave Liu Xiang a glass of water.

Yang Chaoran, this programmer who would probably still be making a small profit by making plug-ins if it weren't for Liu Xiang, is now the veteran of the entire game. He is responsible for the non-development technical work of the entire game.

.At the same time, he is also one of the four executive presidents of the game headquarters.

The four major CEOs of You International (China): Yang Chaoran, Yuan Ye, Zeng Yicheng, and Yu Keke.

As for Xi Xiaoding, Zhang Jiajia, Fei Tao... except for Zhang Jiajia, who still carries the title of CEO, the others no longer hold positions and basically appear as members of the board of directors.

Of course, this division is just to make the game more "international". Generally speaking, the areas they are responsible for are still different. Those who are strong are still good at it, and those who can cheat are still trying their best to steal.

Tricky and slippery.

At this moment, the two oldest men in the game were smoking cigarettes in the office, frowning and talking to Liu Xiang silently.

"What's wrong?" Liu Xiang took the water glass, took a sip happily, sat down next to Yang Chaoran, and asked Xi Xiaoding, who was almost beard-faced across from him.

"I can't say why. Just now, the Academy of Sciences sent a letter, saying that an expert team is coming to you to officially start the game planning." Xi Xiaoding put out his cigarette butt with a wry smile and let out a sigh of relief.

Liu Xiang raised his eyebrows.

"I know this is a good thing, but if you fax..." Xi Xiaoding noticed Liu Xiang's expression and handed the fax to Liu Xiang.

"This is: The International Development Team, our department will send an expert team to you tomorrow to jointly carry out planning proposals. Please quickly prepare a list of planners. Also, this planning team will be kept confidential from now on, and the R&D room will be safe.

The Sichuan Military Region will be responsible..."

It’s day!

"Last time, half of our algorithm masters were taken away, and now we are taking away the planners... Doesn't the entire development department have to come to a standstill? What can the remaining programmers do? Make plug-ins?" Xi Xiaoding was angry, but he had no choice but to say again

I lit a cigarette and took a few puffs.

Liu Xiang also frowned.

Yes, Xi Xiaoding is right.

It's understandable to transfer people away. After all, only You International has the strength to develop this game in the country. Publicly and privately, You are willing to cooperate with the Academy. However... this confidentiality is a damn secret!

This means that before the results are released, these people will be locked away until the development is completed.

It doesn't matter if you just invite a few people over, but the terrible thing is that the Academy of Sciences wants elites when they come! And you have to give them to elites! But if you give them... what should you do?

Ever since the game began to shift its focus from operating games to developing games, the atmosphere in the development department has been in a state of tension, and personnel have been extremely scarce. Although it has acquired some small development teams in the past two years, and even acquired Tian

Such a behemoth as the Internet... However, with the first transfer of the Academy of Sciences, the game development department, which was like a precision instrument, was affected by this.

At present, Xi Xiaoding still has seven games that need to be delivered before the end of next year. If people are taken away again and not released, they will definitely not be delivered by the end of next year.

"Is this the only fax? There are no others?" Liu Xiang asked with a frown.

"That alone is like sending a telegram."

Liu Xiang was amused by Xi Xiaoding's tone, "Let's talk about how many people will be included in the expert group tomorrow and who will be needed."

The next day, a group of eight experts arrived. The leader was only in his thirties, but he was wearing a dark blue military uniform with a 23-cent epaulette on his shoulders.

"I am Huang Ming, responsible for cooperating with you this time."

Huang Ming, from the moment he walked through the gate to the meeting room, was always serious in speech, and his words were concise and concise. There was no nonsense: "First of all, please make sure there is no one in the meeting room who is not related to the cooperative development."

Since this was the first formal meeting with researchers from the Academy of Sciences and the military, the representatives sent by You were also present, an unprecedentedly powerful number of the Big Three.

After listening to Huang Ming's words and Huang Ming's expression, Liu Xiang and Xi Xiaoding looked at each other and smiled at the same time.

"Comrade Colonel, first of all, please allow me to introduce myself." Xi Xiaoding stood up with a smile and extended his hand gracefully, "Xi Xiaoding, Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors of You International..."

Huang Ming frowned and glanced at Xi Xiaoding: "What we need are partners, not a board of directors."

"Of course, I am still the chief planner of Youjiu. Sixty percent of the games developed by Youjiu are planned by me personally." Xi Xiaoding smiled at this guy who was about the same age as himself but became a colonel.

Chief planner? Huang Mingyan clearly flashed a hint of surprise.

"The person next to me is Liu Xiang. You should know this, right?" Xi Xiaoding smiled and looked at the representative of the Academy of Sciences behind Huang Ming, seeing that this was a friend he had met once.

Immediately, several people around Huang Ming whispered a few words. Huang Ming hesitated for a moment, stood up and shook hands with Liu Xiang.

"As for Yang Chaoran, he is the chief programmer of You International... and also the CEO of You International."

"Of course, the fact that the three of us are sitting here does not mean our identities and abilities, but... any decision-making and business secrets are common between the three of us."

Xi Xiaoding's meaning was very clear. There were no irrelevant personnel, and everyone present was a boss-level figure.

Huang Ming nodded and immediately got to the point: "Okay, let me talk about the cooperation requirements. We need a planning group and algorithm group composed entirely of outstanding employees..."

"Wait a minute..." Xi Xiaoding immediately stopped and stared at Huang Ming with wide eyes, "You said... you still need an algorithm team?"

"Yes, because it involves a large amount of data simulation, it is impossible without an algorithm team."

"Well... first of all... let me tell you about the situation of the gaming industry and even the entire world game industry. Planners are in short supply in any game company. They are not like programmers and artists. Programmers can be trained, and artists can also be trained.

But planners are not trained by law. If I have to talk about training, it is mostly training algorithms."

"In fact, any good planner is an excellent algorithm expert."

"Wouldn't that be better?" Huang Ming gave a rare smile, "Just one group can solve the problem."

"Before this, the Academy's research office has already taken away all the algorithm experts! They have my best planners!" Xi Xiaoding lowered his voice depressedly, trying his best to suppress his dissatisfaction.

Huang Ming was obviously stunned, and turned around to communicate softly with his colleagues.

Xi Xiaoding also kept making eye contact with Liu Xiang and Yang Chaoran.

Obviously, this is another time that the Academy of Sciences is exploiting tourists. If the previous exploitation was all about equipment and funds, then now... it is a naked exploitation of talents.

When Liu Xiang saw that the other party was still discussing in a low voice, he smiled bitterly and nodded on the table, "Everyone, I wonder how much planning and algorithms are needed this time?"

Huang Ming stopped communicating, opened the file, took a look and replied: "This requires your ability to grasp the overall planning. We will continue to add planners according to the progress of the planning report. As for algorithm experts, the more the better. Because there is a lot of data involved."

Although he didn't say anything, Liu Xiang muttered in his heart, but he continued to ask: "So what is the progress of this game, or the entire work?"

Huang Ming glanced at Liu Xiang for a few times, and without too much delay, he directly pulled out a file bag from the innermost part of the folder and handed it to Liu Xiang.

The word "CONFIDENTIAL" stands out in big, red letters.

With a gentle breath, Liu Xiang opened the file bag.

Xi Xiaoding and Yang Chaoran looked away consciously. One of them paid attention to Liu Xiang's face, and the other observed the other's expression.

Liu Xiang... only glanced at it, and the hand holding the piece became tense.

"National Navy aircraft carrier battle group simulated operations", "National Navy submarine confrontation operations", "National Air Force simulated operations", "positional warfare exercises", "special forces combat exercises"...

Navy aircraft carrier!

Does China already have aircraft carrier technology?

Raising his head in confusion, Liu Xiang stared at Huang Ming, as if hoping to get some clues.

"What's inside is basically the opinion given by the Military Commission. What we can provide is the parameters and lethality calibration of various equipment and weapons, as well as the impact of various environments and other technical information that is synchronized with reality. We need

You will cooperate according to the conditions.”

Liu Xiang took a deep breath.

"Obviously, I'm afraid we won't be able to achieve complete and absolute confidentiality this time."

Liu Xiang sighed with a wry smile on his face.

It's not that it can't be done, but... How can we achieve absolute confidentiality in a game that must be participated by the entire game? Is the entire game closed? All developers are not in contact with the outside world?

Looking at Huang Ming's expression, Liu Xiang finally understood what layman's imagination meant.
