Shenhao: Gold Medal Investor

That's right.

The company Dream Universe does not have the right to name a certain star. It is worse than the United Nations that sells stars in Trisolaris. Although the United Nations does not have the right to own stars, it can represent all mankind at least.

How can you, a Chinese company pretending to be registered in the United States, sell stars?

What Sha Hui said is right.

Everyone who has purchased a star can find the star they purchased and named on the Dream Universe app. No matter how small the star is, it doesn’t matter, because users can zoom closer to the starry sky until they see the star.

Gao Si said: "Sister Hui, project your universe on the big screen and let everyone see your virtual universe."

Sha Hui immediately turned on her phone and projected the screen from the Dream Universe app.

The picture was posted on the wall, and everyone was immediately stunned.

What is displayed in front of everyone is the endless ice field. On the ice field, there are some huge canyons scattered in various directions. From the widest canyon, a huge fountain is spewing out, and the water column is rushing straight into the darkness.

night sky.

The surrounding temperature was extremely cold, and the water column of the fountain quickly turned into ice mist, turning into falling snowflakes in the night sky, making the surrounding environment dreamlike.

In the night sky, a huge orange planet with beautiful star rings occupies a quarter of the sky. The light reflected from the orange planet makes a faint rainbow appear in the ice fog.

"Wow, where is this? An alien planet? It's so beautiful."

"That orange one should be Saturn."

Everyone, including Gao Si, was watching the fun. Except for Sha Hui, who majored in astronomy, and Yang Hao, the producer, only Luo Xingyu could figure it out.

"This is the surface of Enceladus Encorados. Enceladus is 500 kilometers in diameter. The surface is covered with a thick layer of ice. Below the ice layer is an ocean of liquid water, which may be dozens of kilometers deep. 04

In 2009, the Cassini probe flew close to Encolados and discovered the huge fountain on its surface. If you have the chance to see it in person, it would be worth dying for."

Sha Hui looked at Luo Xingyu as if she were a close friend. Among such a large group of people, only Luo Xingyu understood her best.

Luo Xingyu understood Sha Hui's eyes and said, "Sister Hui, is your software free? Can you give me an account? I like it so much."

Gao Si said: "It shouldn't be free. Only those who bought stars from Sister Hui will be assigned an account."

Sha Hui said, "Others have to buy stars to have an account, but you don't need to, Xingyu. I'll ask your brother-in-law to open a high-end account for you tonight."

Good guy, this is my brother-in-law. It shows how much Sha Hui loves a close friend like Luo Xingyu.

Yang Hao didn't like to talk either. After hearing Sha Hui's arrangement, he nodded repeatedly and said: "No problem Xingyu, you add me on WeChat and I will send you the account number in the evening."

Gao Si asked Luo Xingyu: "Xingyu, I'm a bit of a layman. What do you think the simulation of the Encorados surface environment on the big screen is at in China?"

Luo Xingyu said: "Haha, let's not talk about China. Even after Cassini sent back the photos, NASA's promotional video specially made for Encolados could not achieve this effect. This is simply movie-level.

level."

Of course Gao Si knew that the graphics of Dream Universe could reach movie-level standards, but he didn't know what level this level was among his peers before. After listening to Luo Xingyu's talk today, he became more confident.

Gao Si asked: "Why set the threshold of 'buying stars'? Wouldn't it be better to let more users see this virtual universe?"

Yang Hao sighed and shook his head, saying, "I don't want more people to see it, but I can't do it."

"Why?" Gao Simu was puzzled. He really couldn't understand why it could be used by one person but not by everyone. What kind of logic is this?

Yang Hao pointed to the picture on the big screen and explained: "You see, the effects on this picture are all turned on. During production, the material was not compressed very much, just to make the effect more realistic. This effect, even on

It’s also impossible to run on a gaming phone.”

Gao Si understood for a moment that the phone configuration used by Sha Hui for demonstration was very high. But then he thought it was wrong. Because he had spent money to buy stars and installed the app himself, he did not feel any lag.

He said: "That's not right. My mobile phone is very ordinary and it can run without any problem."

Yang Haodao: "This is because, for all scenes, we complete the calculations on the server side. What is transmitted to the client is just the picture frame by frame."

"Cloud computing? Cloud gaming?"

Yang Hao nodded and said: "Yes. It is similar to the cloud gaming platforms launched by many large companies. However, our dream universe consumes too many resources, and the pressure on cloud computing is also great. If it is open to users for free, then

The cost of renting a server will become astronomical."

"So, you did not open it to ordinary registered users due to cost considerations?"

Yang Hao nodded again.

Gao Si fell into silence.

In the past, Gao Si could re-evaluate the cost structure and come up with a solution based on data in a few seconds. But it is obviously not possible today. He does not know whether this cost problem can be solved.

He doesn't dare to talk nonsense. If he arrogantly demands that the dream universe be opened to the outside world, he may really be digging his own grave.

Gao Si asked: "How much does your current server expense cost per month?"

Yang Hao actually showed a blank expression and looked at Sha Hui.

Sha Hui laughed and said: "He only cares about technology and has no interest in money. The current monthly server expenses are over 600,000."

"600,000 doesn't sound like much. But if you can save it, save it."

Gao Si took out his mobile phone and operated it for a while, then continued: "I have roped you two into the 'Supercomputing Center Resource Group'. Sister Yuan of the Supercomputing Center is in charge. If you have any questions, just tell her directly."

Then he shouted to Lin Yuan in the group.

Gao Si: @林元, Sister Yuan, let me introduce to you. The two new members of the group are the founders of Dream Universe. They need the support of GPU computing resources.

Sha Hui: Hello, Sister Yuan.

Lin Yuan:@高思, no problem.

Shen Yunmei:@shahui@杨浩, welcome, welcome [applause]

Lin Yuan:@shaHui, add me on WeChat to communicate.

When new people come, the group will inevitably become lively.

…

After solving the server problem, Gao Si brought the topic back.

He said: "Saving money is secondary, you should work hard to make money. Kindness, can you use this scene to make up a story about extraterrestrial exploration, and then take the live broadcast route?"

Wang Shanshan said: "Xingyu said yes, so it must be true. However, the problem is that there is no one here. Can we add people in?"

Yang Hao frowned after hearing this. He shook his head repeatedly and said: "It's not easy. The method of generating my virtual universe is a physical rule algorithm, not the game modeling of traditional games. Therefore, things like character models,

It’s very difficult to solve in this virtual universe.”

Wang Shanshan also frowned.

Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes.

If there are no people, how can we write this script? How can we broadcast this live broadcast?

No one, no matter how wonderful the universe is, no one would like to see it.
