“I’ll continue drawing the lottery with the remaining resentment points. ”
From the remaining 14 draws, Chen Mo got a total of eight cold weapon knowledge skill books, three evil art style advancement skill books, and three ancient architecture advancement skill books.
Even though he didn’t get any special items, these skill books were still quite good for Chen Mo. They were all third stage skill books, and could be used in large scale VR games.
In fact, Chen Mo had already drawn some skill books on human anatomy, architecture, model movements, and demonic styles when he was doing outlast. These were just supplementary.
After finishing the skill book, Chen Mo felt satisfied.
At this moment, his cell phone rang.
Chen Mo picked it up and saw that it was Qiu Hengyang.
“Old Qiu has nothing to do, why did you call me?”
Normally, Qiu Hengyang would call Chen Mo for something important, otherwise he would tag Chen Mo in the group.
As soon as the call went through, Qiu Hengyang immediately said,””Chen Mo, take a look at the messages in the group. They’re quite important and you’ll probably be interested.”
“Sure,” Chen Zhao said, confused.
After hanging up, Chen Mo looked at the group chat. There were thousands of messages. He didn’t know how long they had been talking, but the number was still rising.
Chen Mo couldn’t be bothered to look through the chat anymore, so he asked in the group,””What happened?”
The people in the group replied one after another.
“Boss Chen Mo is here!”
“Old Qiu’s call went through?”
“Chen Zhao, did you see the latest news?”
“Yes, quickly go and take a look. Something big has happened!”
Chen Zhao was dumbfounded. What could have happened?
Someone quickly posted a link, and Chen Mo clicked on it, opening a news page.
“Recently, the technology company that developed the artificial intelligence Origin, seventh vision, announced that it has made a major breakthrough in the development of artificial intelligence.”
“Thanks to the latest calculation methods, Origin has successfully achieved very complex physical control and judgment operations in the game. It is said that with this kind of physics, the laws of physics in the real world will be perfectly replicated, and all the laws of physics will be fully controlled by the artificial intelligence Origin. The game developers only need to make slight adjustments according to their own needs. ”
“As for how to use this technology, there’s no accurate plan yet. However, it’s clear that AI will have an impact on the game industry in another way. The complex rules of the world that the designers have worked so hard to build will likely be controlled by AI. ”
“Of course, our country’s researchers are not lagging behind. According to the game Committee, the domestic artificial intelligence system has also been developed to a similar stage. I believe that it will soon be able to complete most of what Origin can achieve.”
“Will this usher in a new gaming era? Let’s wait and see!”
There was so much content in the message that Chen Mo had to read it again.
In the chat group, everyone had already gone through a few rounds of discussions, all of them looking forward to the impact and innovation this new technology could bring to the gaming industry.
This was the difference between this world’s video game industry and his previous life. Technology was advancing at a rapid pace, and every few years, a revolutionary new technology would appear, attracting the attention of all video game designers.
Under such circumstances, it would be a difficult task to accumulate game design concepts. For example, artificial intelligence could take over the physical laws of the entire game world under certain rules. How terrifying was that?
In the past, if designers wanted to build a realistic physical world, they had to write countless rules and go through many ways to complete it.
For example, if the designers wanted to create a monster, its actions included movement, attack, receiving attacks, releasing skills, death, and so on.
If the monster didn’t do any death action, then when it died, it would either stand still or disappear on the spot, which would give the player a very unreal feeling.
Of course, there were some physical engines that could throw corpses and fly them, but they were still far from the real effect.
The safest way was still to do the death action, but even if he did it, it only diluted this unreal feeling under certain circumstances, but it didn’t eliminate it.
Many game designers ‘solution was to create more death actions. For example, when the player attacked from behind, the monster would fall forward and die, and when the player attacked from the front, it would fall backward and die.
The more death-like actions he did, the more realistic the feeling he gave off.
However, what if this world had a perfect set of physics engines? All the steps above could be directly omitted.
As long as he created a model, bound it to the corresponding bone armor, and set a certain mass, many things could be left to the physics of this world to calculate on its own.
When the monster died, the artificial intelligence would automatically calculate according to the physical laws of this world and calculate in which position the monster should fall to the ground. Or what kind of reaction would the different body parts have when they were hit?
In other words, every hit or kill by the player would produce a different effect, and the degree of realism was likely to be several levels higher than that of previous games.
Obviously, with the development of equipment and artificial intelligence technology, the game world would become more and more similar to the real world. How long would this take? Chen Zhao couldn’t say for sure, but he was sure that it would be much faster than his previous life.
Obviously, artificial intelligence would not stop there. This new discovery was only a small interlude in the development of artificial intelligence, but it had already caused a huge shock to the game industry.
The combat system of the entire game industry would probably be affected, and the rules of the combat design system might have to be overturned and redone.
As Chen Mo was thinking, his phone rang again. It was Qiao Hua.
“I’m really busy,” Chen Zhao couldn’t help but complain.
Chen Mo picked up the phone. Qiao Hua wasn’t as anxious as Qiu Hengyang, he was calm and greeted Chen Mo first before getting to the point.
“Chen Zhao, I’ll give you a political task.”
Chen Zhao was shocked. A political mission?
That sounds very stressful!
“You’ve seen the news online, right? It’s about the latest research progress in artificial intelligence. ”
I did,”Chen Zhao said.
“Well, that’s good.” Qiao Hua explained,”actually, the selection committee has been researching artificial intelligence. Our AI is called Pangu. It is only slightly behind Origin, but not by much.”
“At present, our research and development has entered a similar stage. Soon, the Pangu system will be able to fully take over the physics of the game.”
“That’s a good thing,” Chen Zhao said, confused.”But what does it have to do with political missions?”
Qiao Hua said,”in the field of artificial intelligence, there is a competition between our country and foreign countries. Origin has always been ahead of us. This is something that many researchers find hard to accept.” Just like the war between humans and machines, the Pangu system could also do this, but Origin stole the limelight, so there was no point in doing this. ”
“Next, it will be a battle between two completely different physical engines. Origin should be installed in the Reality Engine soon, and the Pangu system should also be installed in the creation engine soon. As for which of the two physics engines is better …”
“It’s obvious that we’ll have to rely on the specific game to show it. ”
“Oh?” Chen Mo thought,”you’re saying … You’re going to make a game to show off this new physics engine?”
“That’s right,” Qiao Hua said.”The game Committee hopes that the Chinese video game designers can make a game that fully displays the superiority of the Pangu system. It would be best if they could make full use of this new physics engine and surpass origin.”
