The Rebirth of the Male God Starts From Playing Games

  Chapter 426 424. What is this profit?

  In fact, there was a [chemical engine] in the previous life "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild".

For example, in this game, fire-attribute creatures will extinguish themselves when encountering water, and ice-attributed creatures will extinguish themselves when encountering fire. Blue mounds with no attributes will become thunder mounds during a thunderstorm and become ice mounds near snowy mountains and glaciers. mound.

  Explosive arrows will instantly explode in the volcano, and the arrows of ordinary wooden arrows will catch fire.

  The principle of a wooden arrow on fire is the same as that of a wooden weapon. It will burn to ashes after a long time.

  These are actually the performance effects of similar chemical reactions that the Zelda team is committed to [simulating reality].

   Cao Yang wants to say something similar, but he hopes to do better.

  "Have you never studied chemistry?"

  Cao Yang smiled and looked at everyone.

Among those present, Xiao Ma has the lowest academic qualifications and graduated from Shenzhen University. When Xiao Ma graduated in 1993, Shenzhen University had not yet been promoted to an undergraduate college. In 1995, Shenzhen University passed the undergraduate teaching qualification evaluation by the State Education Commission. Upgrade cost section.

Now with the influence of Xiao Ma and other elites who graduated from Shenzhen University, the reputation of Shenzhen University is getting bigger and bigger. With the investment of Bomi, the faculty is becoming stronger and more talented, although it is not the focus. School, but it has already exceeded a lot of focus.

  So next year, Shenzhen University is still preparing to apply for promotion to a college.

  In fact, Shenzhen University now only admits students from the second line in Guangdong Province, and other provinces already only accept students from the first line.

  But the country’s nine-year compulsory education, everyone here must have studied chemistry.

  "Hydrogen and oxygen are mixed and combusted to produce water by a chemical reaction, and carbon burns in oxygen to produce carbon dioxide," Cao Yang said with a smile, "Chemical engines are used to simulate these phenomena."

  Mom!

  Deng Peiqiang gasped, thinking that Boss Cao was crazy.

  It’s not that he couldn’t understand the chemical reaction Cao Yang said, but—

   "After doing this, it is equivalent to using a game engine to simulate the nature of the entire world. How is this possible?" Deng Peiqiang shook his head, saying that he could not do this.

  It can’t be supported from the hardware, right?

   "It is not said to be completely restored, and there is no need to completely restore." Cao Yang said with a smile, "Art comes from life, but it is higher than life."

   is higher than life...

  We can’t even do life...

  "The chemical engine I envisioned actually implements the chemical reaction equations through tooling first, and then the program provides algorithm support."

  Cao Yang smiled and picked up the marker from the side to write on the whiteboard:

  "For example, if hydrogen and oxygen are mixed and combusted, it can be abstracted into A+B=C. If it is decomposed, it is C=A+B. If multiple substances participate in the reaction, then it is A+B+C+......=?"

  "Don’t make organics in the first phase. We may not use that kind of stuff for a while."

  Liu Guangran and Deng Peiqiang were dumbfounded...

  This... is it still organic?

  It is difficult enough to realize the existing content that Boss Cao said.

   "I understand it a bit like this." Deng Peiqiang's heart settled a little bit, otherwise if he really wanted to simulate the entire chemical reaction change, it would be deadly.

  "Through the inherent chemical reaction logic to provide art for production," Deng Peiqiang said, "This method should be feasible."

  At this point, in fact, it is more of a design problem than just a program problem.

For example, A+B=C, the program doesn’t really care about what A, B, and C are. These things are defined and expressed by art and planning. If you are in a magical world, hydrogen + oxygen may not be obtained. It is water, it can be a water dragon, or ice dragon, whatever, as long as the art can do the corresponding elements, then the program can be called according to the effect of the art.

  However, the underlying logic still needs to be done. Not only do it need to be done, but also have to be extensible and have a high degree of freedom, so that it can be provided to the art and they can do better.

   "Yes, the first issue is probably like this." Cao Yang said, "Although the program does internal logic, these [logical equations] actually do the work of chemical equations."

  When God created the world, uncertainty is similar.

   does not involve atoms, electrons, or covalent bonds at the microscopic level. From the perspective of chemical equations and performance, it can be combined at will to generate different things.

  In the process of making chemical engines, we are actually acting as God’s responsibility.

"These elements, art can give an object many different elements when making it," Deng Peiqiang thought, "For example, animals contain water, carbohydrates, calcium, sodium ions, iron ions... …Wait, we probably won’t refine that much in the process of building the engine, but the art has to define what we get from each other’s reactions, and then how an object contains those elements and how to react, it will naturally change."

"Yes, exactly."

  This low-level logic is not particularly difficult for the program, and the degree of freedom is higher, and the performance effect will be better at that time.

   But for the players, it has an extraordinary meaning. These chemical reactions will increase the realism of the world and amaze them...

  After the chemical engine, the entire world of the game will be pushed to a new height by Bomi.

Take this time "Assassin's Soul: Ink Loss", when the art is doing the animation of the maple leaf burning change, it is actually the content of the art K. These are all animated animation effects, which are actually in the game. The actual machine experience is not so real, and it costs a lot of money and time.

  After making the chemical engine, the artist can customize the state changes before and after the burning of the maple leaf, and then leave it to the program to run.

  This becomes a real-time interaction of a scene, making the whole world more real.

  ……

   "We can use a new project to specially make a chemical engine," Cao Yang looked at Li Lanyun.

  Li Lanyun quickly sat up straight and listened carefully to what Cao Yang was about to say.

   "I call this project "Planet Trailblazer"" Cao Yang smiled.

  Planet pioneer?

  A flash of horror flashed in everyone's eyes, and just hearing the name, they felt that they were particularly awesome.

  But the more powerful the game product, the harder it is to make.

  "Time happened after the doomsday war in the future, and the living environment of the earth became more and more difficult, so the players, as the vanguard, need to go to outer space to find suitable human homes.

On these planets, there are a variety of earth-like elements, such as icebergs. Players can excavate icebergs and obtain the water inside to produce hydrogen and oxygen, providing sufficient living conditions, and then carbon, organic matter, and various Elements needed for human survival.

  Players can develop new planets through continuous development to build a home suitable for human survival. Humans will thrive on this new land and respond to various crises and emergencies.

  This game is used to verify our chemical engine. "

  Mom! ! !

  Deng Peiqiang feels that the whole person is not good. What if you said that you should not make organics?

  Just listening to this idea is difficult enough. This idea is more than twice as difficult as Minecraft.

  All the elements in Minecraft are cubes, but the planet pioneer mentioned by Boss Cao is obviously a game that simulates reality.

"The elements on the planet can be randomly generated by the player during the creation process of "Minecraft" by choosing the material richness," said Cao Yang. "This will be more interesting and the lifespan of the game will also become longer. long."

  Among the people present, only Li Lanyun had a burst of excitement on her face.

  I feel a little excited when I think about it. Who didn’t dream of opening up the sea of ​​stars in childhood?

  The idea of ​​being able to open up new planets in the vast universe and build new homes for the earth is really great.

  Fortunately, Cao Yang has already laid the groundwork for [Chemical Engine] before, otherwise Deng Peiqiang must think that Boss Cao is crazy.

  With the chemical engine, it is really natural to make such a game now, it seems reasonable and quite natural.

  After all, engine technology is a relatively abstract thing, and the final landing still needs to be experienced and verified through specific schemes.

  Just like the X3 engine was perfected in the process of making "Shan Hai Jing·Wind of Flames".

  Then the chemical engine part of the X4 engine must also have a game to experience.

  It’s just that the complexity of this game may exceed Deng Peiqiang’s expectations.

  Everyone discussed for a while and determined that there is no big problem. The large framework and implementation logic are actually relatively easy to understand.

According to Cao Yang's idea, as the company's [Chemical Engine] continues to improve in the future, and when there are more and more reaction contents in the engine library, it is completely possible to open this thing to the players and let them make their own world. .

  ……

"Right, there is one more point," Cao Yang continued, "When I watched the demo of "Assassin's Soul: Ink Transfusion" last time, I found that when the monster's blood rubbed on the snow, it was not dyed according to the shape of the snow. This point can actually be strengthened in the subsequent physics engine."

   "Huh? Huh." Deng Peiqiang was taken aback.

  But after careful consideration, it doesn't seem to be difficult.

  In the previous game, this kind of superimposed physical effect will not be done, mainly because it consumes too much performance.

   "This should be possible. I will find someone to help realize it after I go back. This time, it can be added to the version of "Assassin's Soul: Moyu"."

   "Okay. That's it. I don’t have any problems here. Does anyone else have anything to add?"

  Cao Yang asked everyone present with his eyes.

  Everyone was trembling with fright.

  This Nima, now I can’t finish the several new things that boss Cao proposed, so what else can I add?

  Go back and study carefully that starting work earlier is the kingly way.

   "Okay, let's do this first. If there is any problem, we will communicate in time."

  ……

  After Cao Yang left the conference room, the remaining few people looked at each other, and they could see the melancholy on each other's faces.

   "How do I feel that we always have things we can't finish?" Deng Peiqiang asked.

   "What do you think?" Liu Guangran patted his **** and stood up and was about to leave. "The advancement of science and technology is endless. Human beings are developing and productivity is improving. Of course, there are endless things to do."

"Uh……"

  Forget it, several other people also packed up and stood up.

  What Liu Guangran said is right. Although things can never be done, there is still time to do a certain thing. It is more important to do well in the moment.

  Think about the trends and technologies that can guide the entire world. This sense of glory is enough to make them proud.

  Li Lanyun was the last one to leave the meeting room. The moment he closed the door, he suddenly laughed——

   Boss Cao’s mind seemed to have endless thoughts, and he didn’t know how long his brain circuits were.

  However, it is precisely because of the constant spurs of Boss Cao behind that Bomi Company can stand firm and grow bigger and bigger.

  Thinking about the game scene described by Cao Yang just now, Li Lanyun couldn't help but look forward to it.

  ……

  One week later, Bomi Company held an autumn product launch conference.

  This is Bomi’s first product launch two years after the 2006 Bomi smartphone launch.

According to Cao Yang's idea, the press conference will become a normal state. In the future, Bomi will hold an autumn press conference every year to let the world know what Bomi is doing now, what products will appear in the future, and which technology fields Bomi is in. Better achievements have been made among them.

   One is to facilitate publicity, and the other is to increase investor confidence.

   also increases the confidence of the market.

  As Apple has always done, it seems that there may not be any actual output in the end, but when people see your technical achievements, they will naturally have confidence.

  The press conference has not even started, it has already aroused widespread attention in the world, and the media reporters are crazy about it.

  Many Chinese and foreign reporters attended the scene, and they prepared to broadcast live broadcast of Bomi's autumn product launch.

  In addition to live broadcasts on TV stations, webcasts have also become the mainstream live broadcast format for Bomi's press conferences.

  This way the coverage will be wider and the effect will naturally be better.

  ……

  At this autumn product launch conference, Boss Cao introduced several new products, each of which is enough to make a sensation in the world and cause a major earthquake in the industry.

The first one is the Bomi mobile phone. Bomi will release the second generation of Bomi smartphone in July next year, which is Bomi 2. This mobile phone has optimized some hardware, and the colors that users can choose on the appearance will be More, the appearance will be more fashionable than the first-generation product.

   After the second generation comes out, it does not mean that the first generation will be eliminated. The prices are similar, but the second generation mobile phones are a little more expensive than the first, which is reasonable and within the range of users' acceptance.

  The key is that everyone is more worried that there will still be a priceless situation.

  The second is that Bomi will start the personal notebook business. At the autumn product launch conference, Cao Yang also demonstrated the first-generation notebook of Bomi's self-developed G series.

  The appearance with industrial artistic sense makes people shine.

  When I heard about the computer configuration and prices, the audience went crazy.

Bomi’s laptops are equivalent to buying a better configuration for the same money. The G-series gaming performance is quite good. Under this configuration, Lenovo’s computers of the same level are estimated to be 500 to 1,000 more expensive than theirs. Bucks.

  How can such a high price/performance ratio make the audience not crazy?

  Now Bomi’s prototypes have been received through experience and are ready to be put into mass production. It is expected that personal notebook computers will not be sold until after April next year.

  The last news is the [Micron mobile phone] that Boss Cao brought to everyone. When I heard the quote from the mobile phone, the whole scene burst.

   Cao Yang announced on the spot, “The 8G version of the Micron mobile phone is priced at 799 yuan, and the 16G version is priced at 999. It will be sold together with Bomi 2 in July next year.

  Foreign release time and price have not yet been determined, please refer to the official website of Bomi smart phone for details. "

  As soon as this statement was made, the scene was in an uproar.

   "Fuck! 799?! Such a good Micron mobile phone is only sold at 799? Is there any mistake?"

   "Yes, I suspect that my ears misheard, but I see that the big screen does say 799!"

   "Really, this is actually true! Is Boss Cao crazy? Bomi must not lose money at this price?!"

  ……

  There are several reasons why Micron mobile phones can be sold so cheaply:

  First, Micron mobile phones use the domestic supply chain, and the price can be kept to the lowest level, and the production cost is only less than 500 yuan.

  Second, there are already related retail stores before, and there is no need to open new stores for Micron phones. The cost of this part is negligible, but plus transportation and packaging, after-sales, labor costs, research and development costs...

The profit margin of micron mobile phones has also become very narrow, probably less than 10%.

  Moreover, it is still supported by the state, tax reduction and exemption for 5 years.

  With tax deductions in the future, the profit of Micron mobile phones will become thinner.

  To make such a product, it is less profitable and tiring, it seems that it is not very meaningful.

  But from a strategic point of view, you will find that things are not that simple.

  Cao Yang positioned the Micron mobile phone as an auxiliary tool, that is to say, uses the Micron mobile phone as a link, and then develops other subsidiary products.

  Cao Yang had already established the positioning when he founded Bomi. He did not just produce mobile phones, but used this mobile phone to develop other products.

  For example, Bomi computers, future artificial intelligence, smart speakers and other things to make money.

  More importantly, only after smartphones become popular can the mobile application market develop and grow.

The profit that the application market can bring to Bomi every year is very considerable. Taking the existing Bomi mobile phone users, there are less than 10 million people worldwide. Mi Company has brought in more than 1 billion yuan in revenue.

  Assuming the popularity of Micron mobile phones, in the next 5 years, the population of smartphone users will be increased to 300 to 500 million people, then the monthly application software will be paid by the Bomi company to make a lot of money.

   Cao Yang will still settle this account.

  From the beginning, he did not regard the smartphone as a product and set the price according to the value of the product. Instead, he regarded the smartphone as a platform and set the price according to the platform, which would naturally lower the price a lot.

  If the anti-dumping regulations are not taken into consideration, he can sell the smartphone at a loss, even if it is sold at a cost price of 500 yuan.

  Compared with the broad market prospects brought by smart phones, what is the profit of Micron mobile phones?

  ……
