Reborn 2005: The Internet Myth

When it comes to image processing software, Wang Zheng really has it.

Photoshop is an essential software for editing pictures. In addition, it also has a software called "Format Factory".

Drag the "green versions" of these two softwares out of the USB flash drive and the installation will be completed quickly.

As we all know, if this type of tool wants to process pictures, it must have the ability to open pictures. This ability is called decoding.

The program used to open images is called a decoder.

Both software are from future versions and contain countless codecs.

What Wang Zheng is looking for is the one with the highest compression efficiency and the least loss of image quality. He removes the decoder and embeds it into Meta.

In order to ensure market share, these tools and software will of course actively integrate various formats that appear on the market.

After some comparison, Wang Zheng discovered an image format called A2V in both PS software and Format Factory.

Moreover, it is also a video format in Format Factory.

After dragging a picture into the computer and testing it repeatedly, I finally confirmed that this A2V format is too powerful.

[PS: Originally A/V1, this is an open source format developed by Gu Ge in 2018. It was only released last year. It has a very high compression ratio and very little loss of image quality. It supports both pictures and videos. The new 30 series graphics card supports hardware

Solve, otherwise you have to use computer soft decryption. Soft decryption of pictures is very smooth, but videos are more CPU intensive.】

A JPG picture of about 1MB, after transcoding to A2V format, is only 20KB in size, and the picture quality loss is very small.

The same is true for videos. Without changing the video resolution and bit rate, 85% of the volume can be compressed.

This is of great significance to Meta and Xiaoyunshu.

The storage space becomes smaller, the cost is greatly reduced, and more funds are available for operations.

If the operation is done well, the more money will be made.

With the perfect solution in hand, Wang Zheng naturally rolled up his sleeves and worked hard.

I searched a lot in the PS software but couldn't find the A2V codec program. It is probably integrated into the core code.

Wang Zheng did not give up, and searched in the folder of the format factory again, and finally found the A2V format codec file in the decoding library.

As usual, drag this program into the Hongmeng system and start the Cangjie compiler.

The converted source code is very clear, and it is also clearly stated at the beginning of the code that this is an open source format, used by many media manufacturers such as Google, Apple, Netflix, and Facebook, as well as blue factories, red factories, and yellow factories.

Developed jointly by major hardware manufacturers.

Wang Zheng unceremoniously deleted these comments. They were all mine.

As he becomes more familiar with algorithms these days, Wang Zheng's understanding of codes is also improving.

This kind of learning is very efficient. It is equivalent to copying the standard answers. If you copy the answers once and don't understand them, if you copy them three or five times and still don't understand them, then you are blind.

Moreover, there are not many algorithms designed for the A2V encoding format, and it only took two days to complete.

Following the same steps, Lan Xi was asked to be responsible for the process of registering a global patent. He worked with Meta's programmers to embed the A2V codec into Meta's code.

There are not too many pictures in the Meta community right now, and they can all be processed in a week or two.

If the data becomes as big as a mountain in the future, how difficult will it be to process... I don’t dare to think about it.

After the code is embedded into the Meta website, the uploaded images will be converted into A2V format. Not only will the front-end page load faster, but the quality of the images will only lose about 5%, making them almost indistinguishable.

At the same time, the A2V format natively supports layer formats, which greatly reduces the development work of beautification filters such as background blurring, background replacement, and skin whitening.

What's more troublesome is that the image review program also needs to embed this code, otherwise it won't be able to recognize the image.

When this work was completed, the accuracy of image review became even higher.

Sure enough, technological innovation always occurs inadvertently.

"BOSS, this format is so amazing! This algorithm is so awesome!"

The designer behind the scenes has been talking about "Amazing" and "GOD" since the beginning of the work. He admired Wang Zheng even more and expressed his euphemism that he wanted to have a Chinese meal in the evening.

However, this idea was abandoned after Wang Zheng received a call from Elizabeth.

Elizabeth's connections are much wider than his. Last week, she appeared on four TV programs to promote the crowdfunding model. By the way, she also promoted Wang Zhenghe's blood testing ideals.

Wang Zheng also asked 365 Navigation to temporarily provide a free navigation link as support for promotional work.

After all, doing nothing really doesn’t make sense.

"Justin, are you in Meta now?"

"What's the matter?"

Elizabeth said very excitedly: "Three projects have been launched on the crowdfunding website, one of which was successfully raised yesterday! We held a press conference and handed over the funds, which caused a great sensation."

"Congratulations, Elizabeth, I knew you could do it."

"There are too many people who want to invest in crowdfunding now. I hope to meet with you to discuss financing issues."

Wang Zheng agreed immediately without even thinking about it: "No problem. Give me your address and I'll pick you up after work."

Regarding financing, Meta has already contacted many investment banks that came to our door, but Cheryl has never let go.

She knew that Wang Zheng was developing an image compression algorithm, and the company's costs would become very low.

And with the National Female College Student Selection Campaign in full swing, the Meta community’s share is rising.

Financing at this time is obviously very irrational.

However, on crowdfunding websites, the difference between early financing and late financing is actually not that big.

The business model is there, what is sold is a concept, and it is the only unicorn company.

The most important thing is to sell part of the shares as early as possible and exchange them for cash to develop other projects.

Wang Zheng has not forgotten that YouTube, not far away, is growing and will eventually grow into a behemoth.

After get off work in the evening, Wang Zheng rejected Catherine's request to work overtime and drove to Patuolo alone.

Elizabeth's Theanos is here, and there are many famous companies in this city, such as Tesla.

She also set up her crowdfunding network in the city, renting a private garage as an office with only five employees. Elizabeth had to take on most of the administrative work.

Wang Zheng stopped at the door according to the address, honked the horn twice, got out of the car and waited.

Elizabeth came out quickly, her dress was not much different from the time we met on the plane.

"Hey, Elizabeth."

Wang Zheng said hello and took the initiative to open the car door.

Elizabeth was obviously very happy. After getting in the car, she couldn't wait to say to Wang Zheng: "Justin, you know, too many people want to invest in the crowdfunding website. It is very popular and has rave reviews."

"Well done." Wang Zheng drove to the reserved hotel and gave her a thumbs up: "I think crowdfunding.com should accept financing, let more people join the crowdfunding network, and then look for more projects

, helping more people realize their dreams.”

Elizabeth looked at him with admiring eyes and said: "Justin, I have to say that you are really great."
