Although this sounds unrealistic, Li Zongzheng still reported the bottlenecks faced by the development of intelligent systems to Mr. Hao along with other good news.
However, what Li Zongzheng didn't expect was that after listening to his statement, Hao Yun just thought about it for a while and then spoke.
“How much does it cost to buy a supercomputer?”
That tone didn't sound like he was joking.
Li Zongzheng was stunned. His eyes were filled with disbelief. He hesitated for a long time before speaking.
"This... I don't know either, but I heard it should be very expensive."
"Really," Hao Yun touched his chin and continued, "Then you should find out more and tell me. If the price is right, I don't mind buying one."
Buy a supercomputer and use it as a game server...
Even if you look at the history of global gaming, no one has ever made such a big move.
Thinking about it, only the man in front of me has the courage to do such a thing.
Shocked by Mr. Hao's plan, Li Zongzheng swallowed, looked at him and said.
"Mr. Hao... are you serious?"
Hao Yun nodded and said in a casual tone.
"Am I kidding? After all, after the brain-computer interface technology matures, if you really plan to build a virtual reality network, upgrading the hardware will be necessary."
Regarding this point, Li Zongzheng is not very clear. His understanding of brain-computer interface only rests on the concept of "it may be fun to play games with this technology."
Although he had gained a lot of professional knowledge due to his previous cooperation with Yunmeng Technology. However, this knowledge is basically focused on machine learning and artificial intelligence algorithm design, and does not involve much in the brain-computer interface technology itself.
Looking at Li Zongzheng standing there without saying a word, Hao Yun, who was sitting at his desk, raised his head and glanced at him.
"Is there anything else?"
"No more." Li Zongzheng, who recovered from his surprise, shook his head, took a deep breath and said, "Mr. Hao... I finally understand why every investment you make is so successful."
Hao Yun was stunned for a moment and asked subconsciously.
"… Why?"
"Pattern!" Li Zongzheng said these two words seriously, and then sighed softly, "Before, I always thought that I was the most awesome game designer in the world... But now I have discovered that there is indeed what I need to learn. There are a lot more."
Although he didn't know what this had to do with the pattern, seeing his sudden awakening, Hao Yun finally restrained the urge to complain about him and coughed dryly.
"... As long as you understand."
However, after waiting for a long time, Hao Yun didn't wait for the pop-up window to add points to pop up, but this guy's epiphany didn't happen once or twice.
…
“World of Warcraft is trending again!”
"Yeah, how many times has this happened in the past few days?"
"It seems like it's on it every day... I'm afraid it will cost a lot of money to buy hot searches for so many days."
"I saw that I may not have bought it. It's not just about scarves these days. I've seen people posting related posts in many places."
"Speaking of which, is anyone still buying activation codes?"
"No... I put out one batch every two days. After a few days, I might put out one batch in one day. Only a fool would buy the scalper's code. I heard that there is a well-known scalper in the circle who spent 50,000 yuan to buy the code. I hoarded more than 100 of them and ended up going bankrupt."
"Hahahaha, this is so true, all the compensation codes are gone."
Sea Lion Group employee canteen.
Several employees sitting around the table having lunch were chatting about recent events in the industry.
Among them, the topic that attracts the most attention is undoubtedly the newly launched MMORPG online game World of Warcraft by Yunmeng Games.
However, the voices of those discussions were particularly harsh to the ears of Huang Chao, the head of the "Oracle" project department.
Up to now, the alpha version of World of Warcraft has only been online for three days. There are only more than 20,000 players who have received the beta activation code to enter the game. However, it has attracted the attention of more than one million players. Even the so-called No. 1 player in Xia Kingdom The online game "Oracle" has also been impacted by this craze.
The current situation is that these millions of players would rather watch more than 20,000 people play the game rather than come to "Oracle" to contribute daily activity.
This is because World of Warcraft is not online yet. What if we really wait until World of Warcraft is online
We can't just sit back and wait for death!
Thinking of the hundreds of thousands of year-end bonuses given out every year over the years, Huang Chao secretly made up his mind that no matter what, he could not let World of Warcraft become the number one player in the online gaming industry.
But even though he said that, in fact there were only two roads before him.
That is, either find a way to restore the declining daily activity and declining popularity of "Oracle", or lead the core members of the project team to start a new game and make a game that is more popular than "Oracle" and "World of Warcraft" new game.
However, no matter which path is taken, it is not that easy.
After lunch, Huang Chao returned the dinner plate to the disabled truck and was about to go back to the office to continue thinking about this issue.
But at this moment, his mobile phone suddenly received a message from Mr. Liu.
[After dinner, go to my office.]
After seeing this news, Huang Chao didn't dare to neglect, and immediately got on the elevator and went directly to Mr. Liu's office.
But when he arrived at the office, knocked on the door and walked in, he found that in addition to Mr. Liu, there was also a man with an unfamiliar face standing in the office.
"This is Huang Chao, the head of our Oracle Project Department."
"Hello, Mr. Huang."
The man with an unfamiliar face stretched out his right hand and nodded politely towards Huang Chao.
Holding the man's outstretched right hand, Huang Chao smiled at him and said with a hint of confusion in his tone.
"Hello... who are you?"
Before the man could speak, Mr. Liu, who was sitting behind the desk, spoke first.
"This is Zhao Qiguang, the head of Qiguang Game Studio. From now on, we will all be members of the same company. You can get more familiar with each other."
Huang Chao has heard of the name "Qi Guang". As one of the few game studios in the industry that has not been acquired by big capital, the role-playing games produced by this studio have always been quite popular in the market.
But now it seems that so-called independent game studios have become history.
After being acquired by Sea Lion Group, all employees of Qiguang Studio were also integrated into Sea Lion Group.
Huang Chao knew that Mr. Liu calling him here must not only be to introduce the head of the newly acquired game studio to him, but also must have other purposes.
Sure enough, after the simple greetings, Liu Zhiping, who was sitting behind his desk, cleared his throat and got straight to the point.
"You must have guessed the reason why you were called here today."
"The recent launch of World of Warcraft by Yunmeng Games has had a huge impact on the MMORPG market. Not only our Oracle, but also the daily activity and traffic of almost all online online games have been affected."
"The entire MMORPG market is iterating towards a new field. If we don't make changes, we are likely to be eliminated by the market. Regarding this point, I would like to seek your opinions."
"What do you think?"
