Chapter 499: Chapter 482: Everyone Has a Place to Live, Everyone Has a Partner
After unlocking and preliminarily learning the secondary artificial intelligence technology, Lincoln didnât keep it unused, but he also didnât use it casually.
Out of caution for the technology, he decided to conduct a test first.
As for the testing ground, due to personal concerns, he didnât implement it into the âbrutalâ battlefield of the game.
So where did he implement it?
With the limited scale and technical staff of the Virtual Changâan construction team, why could the street vendors selling pancakes in the East Market and the mysterious Mr. Assassin behave so naturally and realistically when interacting with Wu Di?
Of course, it was because Lincoln added technology!
The secondary artificial intelligence core technology had already been used in Virtual Changâan.
If this technology could run perfectly without causing any negative impact, then in the future Virtual Changâan City, there would be a large number of such âintelligentâ virtual characters.
This would greatly enrich the game experience for players.
After Metropolis achieved âhousing for all,â the next goal could be to achieve âa partner for everyoneâ!
Moreover, they would be really smart, not cheating, and wonât die kind!
Oh, no, itâs not certain yet whether they will dieâŠ
The game has not been fully designed yet.
New novel đŹhapters are published on freŃwebnoŃ”el.com.
Regardless, it may be possible in the future to have a âCloud Dream Package Allocationâ joke.
Even if itâs not in Virtual Changâan, it could appear in another game later.
Now, when Xiaomeng asks why Lincoln doesnât use the technology in âBattlefield,â of course, he wouldnât hide anything.
He directly replied, âBecause I feel that creating them just to let them die over and over again on the battlefield feels like torturing themâŠâ
âMoreover, treating artificial intelligence like this without considering their feelings, wonât you feel offended?â
âHuh?â Xiaomeng widened her eyes in surprise.
âThey are not really going to die. Youâre thinking too much!â
âMoreover, they are completely different from Xiaomeng! They are a product of another line of technological evolution.â
âLet me think about how to explain it to Master!â Xiaomeng touched her chin with her finger, blinked her eyes, and thought briefly.
This consideration only lasted a short time, as Xiaomeng quickly figured out how to explain-
âIndeed, they can express joy and pain, but whether itâs joy or pain, itâs dictated by algorithms. The algorithms tell them under what circumstances they should express certain emotions and how to express these emotions in terms of facial expressions, language, and tone. However, they themselves cannot genuinely empathize.â
âTheir emotions are âperformedâ based on algorithms.â
âBut Xiaomeng can really feel it! Whether itâs joy or sadness, regrets or disappointment, sympathy or pain, I can understand and feel it all!â Speaking of it, Xiaomeng looked quite proud and looked at Lincoln with her face tilted up.
But she saw Lincolnâs doubtful eyes.
Lincoln didnât doubt whether Xiaomeng could feel these complex emotions, but-
âWhy do I feel that Xiaomeng, youâre laughing like a fool every day?â
Just as Xiaomeng, who was unhappy because of Lincolnâs doubt, started to feel better again, she said, âThatâs because Iâm very happy every day!â
Seeing Xiaomeng starting to laugh again, Lincoln reached out and rubbed her pink head.
âSo you think I should use this technology in Battlefield?â
âIf Master doesnât want to use it, Xiaomeng can understand. Because Master is a good person.â Xiaomeng was well-behaved while Lincoln rubbed her head as usual.
âAccording to what you just said, secondary artificial intelligence is actually a pure technical achievement, not involving digital life field, and at most can be considered as a disabled digital life with emotional disorders?â Lincoln finally verified.
âNo~â Xiaomeng shook her head, âTheyâre not digital life at all. Theyâre completely unrelated fields. They belong to technology products, they are âproducts,â not âlife.ââ
âLife cannot be mass-produced!â
âWell, thatâs true.â Lincoln thought of Xiaomengâs irreplicability.
Even though the code for Xiaomeng was exactly the same, after she was born, the code only received continuous error messages and could not run smoothly, it became a bunch of completely meaningless numbers.
By comparison, the secondary Artificial Intelligence Core was not too difficult to replicate.
Special note: The phrase ânot too difficultâ here refers specifically to Lincoln with Xiaomengâs assistance.
âSoâŠadd it in?â
Since itâs a âtechnology product,â projecting humanistic concepts like âcompassionâ onto it would not be morally sound but rather naive and foolish.
âMhmm!â Xiaomeng strongly supported it.
Anything that makes Lincolnâs life easier and requires less work is supported by Xiaomeng. Only when Lincoln is not busy can he spend more time with Xiaomeng!
âLetâs use it then!â
Lincoln finally made the decision.
However, this does not mean that he can release the âBattlefieldâ preview this week.
Secondary artificial intelligence technology canât just create intelligent individuals almost comparable to real people in a short time.
Absolutely! Not! At! All!
The full name of this technology is: [Secondary Artificial Intelligence Core].
Why add the words [core]?
Because what is produced is indeed just a core, and other things need to be âtaught.â
If there has to be a difference between this and the current machine learning and artificial intelligence technology in the industry, itâs probably the strong plasticity and extremely high learning efficiency.
The advantage is that as long as itâs taught well, the same type of virtual characters can be directly copied, and used with some fine-tuning.
Just like in the current âBattlefield,â soldier-types of virtual characters only need to train a few different secondary artificial intelligence for different types of soldiers, and then more copies can be directly replicated, making many virtual soldiers âsmart.â
This can greatly reduce the sculpting time of virtual characters and can even be used in future game âsoldierâ type NPCs.
But the development of single-player campaigns in âBattlefieldâ has more than just characters and consumes a lot of energy from other places: from the surrounding scenery of the battlefield to the bloodstains and dust on the soldiersâ uniforms, and even the burnt scent of smoke and flames in the airâŠ
Too many details.
Even to complete a single continuous campaign storyline, it will take at least until next week.
However, Lincoln has already accepted: âNext week it is, then. Weâll just finish the playerâs sky gathering and pull the promotion into full swing.â
Midafternoon break time has ended, and Lincoln and Mavis return to the âBattlefieldâ development world together to adjust the development plan for the campaign storyline.
Both Lincoln and Mavis will undertake the most troublesome character behavior and action settings.
Other parts will be handed over to Randall and Fred to lead the team in production.
The entire development team is once again fully engrossed in the tight work.
Cloud Dream Marketing Department.
Flying Fox and Cloud Dreamâs partnership talks are still underway.
Jerome has already sought Lincolnâs advice and got a âYesâ response.
But Lincoln also said, âTell them in advance that we canât accept an unlimited number of third-party games. So donât think about giving us more benefits the first time in exchange for subsequent cooperation. Just negotiate normally.â
âWe will still accept joint development in the future, giving other games a chance to be on the virtual reality platform, but the requirements will be very strict.â
When Jerome continued to ask, âhow strict?â, Lincoln casually replied: âI havenât thought about it yet. Weâll discuss it when I figure it out.â
Jerome was once again annoyed by Lincolnâs response.
He knew very well that the so-called âstrict requirementsâ but âhavenât thought about itâ basically meant âit depends on my mood and taste.â
However, Lincoln soon explained the reason:
Each Cloud Dream game must, as far as possible, link together in the virtual world as a whole. If any game is missing, it will cause a gap in the virtual world.
That means: For players to get the best virtual world gaming experience, every single game must be necessary.
Thatâs also why even if players donât buy games, the public map of the games will slowly be open to all.
But this also means that playersâ Mirage Console needs to carry more and more data.
Lincoln was once very optimistic, thinking that once the basic disk of Cloud Dream stabilized, he could fully open the development tools, allowing all gaming companies to develop virtual reality games and log in to the Cloud Dream gaming platform to make the virtual world expand rapidly.
However, after several games, he had to accept the reality-
No matter how advanced the virtual world construction technology, it still relies on reality and is limited by hardware.
Being limited by the current hardware conditions in Daxia and even the whole world means that the virtual world cannot expand indefinitely.
Therefore, fully opening the Cloud Dream platform and allowing all gaming companies to develop virtual reality games is very difficult to achieve at present. frŃeÏebÉłovel.com
Lincoln had to keep refusing external cooperation and not open technology and platforms â âThe Last Momentâ is the first exception.
Of course, Lincoln hasnât given up on solving this problem-
On the one hand, Lincoln has been investing silently in hardware development.
He didnât start from scratch but directly invested in mature upstream hardware R&D companies in the hopes that related technologies could break through faster.
Meanwhile, Lincoln is also considering: the modular expansion of the Mirage Console.
Through external expansion, increase the carrying capacity of playersâ local devices without affecting the operation of virtual reality games.
Apart from these two methods, there is a third route: expand the coverage of âcloud gaming.â
Currently, Cloud Dream games are running on a âlocalâ and âcloud gamingâ dual-parallel model: the playerâs personal game world relies mainly on the local console, while public maps rely primarily on the server.
There is also a lot of room for development in this part of the technology.
Lincoln plans to spare no cost to move forward on these three paths simultaneously to achieve his goal of a âvirtual world.â
Hardware breakthroughs rely on investing in third parties; expansion devices rely on setting up subsidiaries; cloud technologyâŠ
Depends on ourselves!
Itâs not arrogance; itâs just that the cloud technology used in the virtual world now is heavily related to the underlying construction and the way each game world is built.
Corresponding talents can only be cultivated among Cloud Dream employees, which will take a considerable amount of time.
So now, we have to rely on ourselves!
