Scholar’s Advanced Technological System
Chapter 1235: Techniques to Free Imagination
Liu Wei swears, this is definitely the most spectacular and magical scene he has ever seen in his life. Even after so many years as a director, having experienced so many effects of light pollution, he had never seen such a fictional and spectacular scene.
At this moment, far away from Jinling City, he is lying in the laboratory of the Jinling Institute of Higher Studies, while consciousness is swimming hundreds of kilometers away in the virtual reality world built by Xinghai No. 1 quantum computer.
Standing in that pure blue space, a light silver line crossed him across, like a spatial auxiliary line, dividing his entire area into countless pieces.
At this moment, a figure of light and digital illusion appeared beside him.
He glanced sideways and the ark laughed and said.
“You can't feel the functionality of this system without standing still. ”
After hearing this reminder, Liu Wei's face made a slightly apologetic smile.
“Sorry, just standing here… I've been so shocked that I can't speak. ”
“Do you feel better now? ”
“Much better. ”
Determined God, Liu Wei took a simple deep breath, then followed the instructions of the procedure and turned over the wrist of his right hand. Looking at the operating interface floating in front of his wrist, he moved five fingers and selected the icon of the modeling tool.
Almost as soon as his index finger touched the icon, the pale white light grain began to converge towards him, like a gravity-lost sand grain, suspended in front of him.
Feeling the absolute dominance of the virtual world, he began to imagine in his mind that the scene he had seen in a big science fiction film had begun to be dug out of his memory.
As his consciousness progressed deeper into the memory, the white light particles suspended in front of him began to change shape and color, gradually forming in front of him and eventually becoming an emerald space fortress - albeit somewhat abstract.
“It's incredible. ”
Looking at the fortress in front of him, Liu Wei's face was filled with excitement.
At this moment, he's like a child standing on a beach, staring at his piled sandcastle with a sense of accomplishment.
While this 3D image is still somewhat abstract, and many details have not been carved out, it is remarkable considering that it was his first time touching the tool and took less than 10 minutes to do so.
Walking next to director Liu, the Ark took a look at this space fortress of countless light points in front of it, reaching out to his right hand. Soon those light particles, under his manipulation, began to change form, and on the side of that abstract space fortress, "mounted” a cantilever similar to an aircraft's counterweight.
Noticed a surprise sight thrown from the side, the ark retracted its right hand, rolled over its wrist and opened the control interface, turning off access to its modeling tools.
“What's really powerful about this system is that it allows multiple people to collaborate at the same time, integrating multiple people's ideas into one piece. It was originally prepared for scientific research, but our system engineers found it quite useful in other areas, so we designed many different versions specifically. The version you're using now, for example, is the corporate version that we've developed for movie, video production and other needs. ”
Paused for a moment, looking at this rudimentary model of a space fortress in front of us, the ark continued.
“In fact, we suggest that we leave the construction of models to professionals, after all, a movie scene may contain thousands of models that cannot be accomplished by one person alone. ”
Looking at the rudimentary to extreme space fortress that he had created, Liu Wei couldn't help but sweat.
“Exactly… I still don't seem to have enough imagination. ”
“This has nothing to do with imagination, it simply takes a lot of time to carve out its details. After all, the computational logic of the human brain is not quite the same as that of computers, and our brains are able to fully replenish the brain when processing images, that is, using fuzzy computational methods to ignore irrelevant details, but unlike computers, we have to repeat this fuzzy computational process continuously until it understands what the graphics we want to present are. ”
After a pause, the ark continued.
“We are currently working with Warwick, Rice and their helmet producers to motivate our users to participate in this vast project to model landmark buildings and special objects in life. Some of these models are put in stock, as appropriate, based on voter popularity and ratings, and are rewarded in the form of points, cash or gifts for the recipient. ”
“In addition to this, there are some classifications in fantasy classification models, and we also give users the freedom to take full advantage of the phenomenal space, giving them the ability to create custom terms. Subject to local laws and regulations, users are free to choose whether or not to share them with the community. ”
“Through the data-processing capabilities of quantum computers, we will continue to refine our virtual world through a model of community cooperation, culminating in an artificial paradise that is no less than the real world. ”
“This idea is fantastic!” Liu Wei couldn't help but exclaim the blueprint depicted by the Ark.
As a literary worker, no one knows better than him what it means if all this is possible.
This means that the creativity that would otherwise constrain imagination will no longer be a problem, and all fantasies and brain holes will be completely liberated.
Everyone has the opportunity to be an artist and show others the world in their hearts.
With these models, even if we build another one in the virtual world, there's nothing wrong with going to Beijing or New York...
The development tool demonstration is over.
The light blue light particles faded from the surrounding area, and Liu Wei removed his helmet and returned to the real world.
He also had doubts about the Ark's intention to complete the entire celebration programme in half a month at most, but now he has no doubt in his mind about it.
Don't say it's half a month.
Just give him a group of professional modelers to help him weave his dreams into reality, even if it's only a week away, he's sure to create a world!
Moreover, even if the holographic projection system had not yet been implemented by the time the site model of the bird's nest was scanned into the database, he would be able to complete the programming of the festival with this powerful set of development tools.
His time was not just two months, but five months.
The only thing he was happy with now was that NTT had dragged them away and not immediately agreed to the contract.
If this contract is signed, let alone they will have to pay a liquidated damages...
“How do you feel? ”
Looking at the canoe that came face to face, Liu Wei looked at the helmet held on his knee and said with emotional tone.
“It opens my eyes, I can't describe the shock in my heart, and I didn't expect to be able to shoot a movie with such a magical tool one day… I believe that when this equipment becomes popular, let alone disrupt the whole film industry, even the way of life in the future will have to change completely because of it. ”
“Let's leave the rest to the future,” Ark smiled slightly, continuing, "the process won't be so fast, it will take time for technology to mature. However, I am sure that with so many talented people involved, the process will not be too slow. ”
Liu Wei's face revealed a smile of agreement.
At this point, he suddenly remembered something and said, “By the way, Master Lu, I've always had an idea whether you're interested or not. ”
As soon as he heard what he thought, the ark said.
“Forget it if it's too much trouble. ”
Liu Wei hastily said: "No trouble, no trouble, and I'm sure this is definitely a very meaningful thing for both society and you! ”
The Ark sighed: "Actually, it doesn't make any sense. I don't really care anymore... so tell me about it. ”
Liu Wei smiled and said, “I talked to a familiar writer a while ago, and intend to make a film that reflects the spirit of our country's contemporary scientists who dare to innovate, work hard and fight for the first place in the world. We discussed it and agreed that it would be better to choose from young scholars if they were to reflect the characteristics of the times and be able to resonate with contemporary young people. ”
What's that supposed to mean?
Let yourself make a movie?
As soon as he heard this, Ark Zhou got big and raised his hand.
“Stop, I'm not interested in being an actor. ”
While I have no doubt about my acting and face value, making a movie is a waste of time. A movie can take less than a year from start-up to show, and even a small production, the cycle is rarely less than six months.
At this point, he doesn't even know what to do with the bullshit.
Upon hearing that the ark seemed to misunderstand what it meant, Liu Wei quickly explained: "It's not for you to be an actor, we want to make a big movie with a little documentary nature with your story. The specific story context will probably start with your return overseas and end with the nuclear fusion ignition. We may add some artwork scenarios to it… of course, these will definitely be subject to your consent. ”
It turns out I'm the background for the documentary.
It's embarrassing...
When the famous director explained it, the ark laughed a little embarrassingly: "I see, so tell me. Okay, if you think I'm worth shooting, do as you say. I don't really care. It is in this regard that I hope to be able to take into account my views. ”
He doesn't care much about anything else.
The only thing that worries me a little is that the chosen character doesn't highlight how handsome he is. While these are irrelevant to a scholar and documentary, it is not good to be labeled as historical nihilism for them.
Liu Weixi said: “Don't worry, as long as you agree to our shooting, I can assure you that every character will be chosen to your satisfaction! ”
“That won't be necessary," the ark waved, "I don't have that much time for you to choose the characters, I'll take care of the main character, you other characters at will. ”
“Well, with regard to the selection of characters, do you have any hard standards or suggestions? Just give a rough suggestion, we can also refer to it in the preliminary selection and save you time. Such as education, personality...”
“Well… I don't really have a concept either. ”
The ark thought about it and continued.
“Anyway, you can choose according to the standard of the idol show. ”
Liu Wei: “…? ”
