Behind the scenes technology company

Chapter 146 Digital City

No prosthetics, no artificial intelligence, no rainy nights, no hackers.There are no messy and dark slums, and there are no exaggerated row upon row of high-rise buildings that cannot be seen from the top.This is not a cyberpunk world. Some are familiar red and blue color schemes, some are neon-style colorful street signs and advertisements, and some are behind-the-scenes technology companies that are gradually moving towards giant enterprises.

Cyberpunk was only a very small cultural phenomenon at the beginning. With the big waves of the Internet, people gradually discovered that the future predicted by cyberpunk works is becoming a reality step by step.Especially with the help of works such as "Blade Runner", "The Matrix", and "Ghost in the Shell", cyberpunk has begun to enter the mainstream public's vision.

In this series of movies labeled as "cyberpunk", the future world is always like this: the city is full of high-rise buildings, covered with neon lights and LED billboards; During the day; science and technology are highly developed, but natural resources are about to be exhausted.

There are two points that need to be explained. First, it is not that the future predicted by cyberpunk works is becoming a reality step by step, but that we humans have chosen to move towards such a future.The biochemical prosthetics that can be freely replaced in cyberpunk works have become indifferent to people without arms and legs. This is exactly the science and technology we hope and need.

Second, the appearance of the future world rendered with strong contrast, severe light pollution, flickering neon signs, continuous rain, and strong contrast can attract our eyes and eyeballs.It’s not that having these elements that we can actually see can be called cyberpunk, but this kind of imagination is closer to our real life.

Just like the uncanny valley effect we see when robots and rag dolls are produced, this kind of science fiction world that is super close to the real world is more likely to bring us a strong impact.What is familiar to us is still so familiar, and at the same time, the places we are strange are completely strange.

But in essence, cyberpunk embodies the high-tech, low-life world view. To be more precise, cyberpunk actually discusses the "relationship between biology and machinery" and "the control of society by technology." In a world where technology is highly developed, In the future, when the social order is broken or reorganized, people will think and act on darkness and confusion.

Cybernetics, translated into "control theory" in Chinese, is a discipline proposed in 1948, specializing in the study of "how animals and machines control and communicate with each other". Later, cybernetics evolved to refer to any field, using technical means to control the system disciplines.

Wei Lai doesn't like the declining world represented by cyberpunk, but Wei Lai has liked the art style of cyberpunk since the otaku period.Borrowing an old stalk from the Internet, quantum mechanics is indecisive, the style jumps into the virtual world, the explanation does not make sense to travel through time and space, and the color matching cyberpunk is not understood. , Tribute to Cthulhu.

In fact, amid decades of cultural popularity and collisions, various niche subcultures are also affecting the public's aesthetics. Some people like it and some don't. Huge light pollution is more advocating for nature and people who appreciate the gorgeous starry sky at night. It was a devastating blow.

The choice of cyberpunk style is actually selected under the influence of various factors. From the shadow generator to the holographic ring to the holographic light and shadow generator, the behind-the-scenes technology already has the basic production chain of holographic imaging technology, which can be obtained from the existing Borrowing from a variety of worldview frameworks.

It can only be said that the cyberpunk worldview is closer to today's life, and has become a relatively mainstream existence, which is more suitable for imitation.During the holidays worth celebrating during the Chinese New Year, it is impossible to make some Cthulhu things and project them over the city. This kind of gameplay is obviously inappropriate.

Wei Lai's own love, coupled with the popularity of cyberpunk cultural circles, can bring people a visual feast at the same time, and can also be used as a city business card, and at the same time, it also has a certain warning significance, so why not for.

It is not easy to light up the whole city with neon lights, especially in the planning and construction of Huntian Valley, which is planned and constructed as a future interstellar metropolis, it is even more difficult.Fortunately, the manufacture of the holographic ring and the holographic light and shadow generator is not difficult, and the cost is not high at the same time. Half a month is enough time for behind-the-scenes technology to carry out mass production.

In addition to fringe areas and low-rent housing, which have long been determined for placement, and major business districts that have not been placed, the important task still falls on municipal transportation in order to light up the entire city.The reason why holographic technology better represents virtual reality is precisely because it can be applied digitally to the entire city.

In fact, it is "cyberpunk", it is better to say that Wei Lai just wants to digitize the city.Drones and maglev trains hovering in the city, including construction corps working at construction sites, are relatively more common than drone "enforcers", which are patrolling the city for safety.

Unlike the scene described by Cyberpunk, most of the projection area of ​​the content carried out by the behind-the-scenes technology is located on the top of the building, not on the outside of the building. The behind-the-scenes technology will not advertise to other businesses for free.However, the projection on the top of the city and the vacancies on both sides make the visual effect of the whole city not beautiful.

The solution and the burden lies above what we said earlier about municipal transportation.The content production team has been producing various elements since New Year’s Day. The elements selected for the top projection are basically elements related to traditional festivals, such as red lanterns, gold ingots, God of Wealth, firecrackers, fireworks, etc. There are a lot of them, which are also interspersed with behind-the-scenes technology products and words of New Year greetings.

For municipal transportation, there are various arrows, road signs, and road names.As for the access to the traffic light system, it will at least take time to cooperate with the traffic system to realize the holographic display of traffic control.Although there is not much content about municipal transportation, the workload took 20 days to basically cover the entire city.

To maintain the brightness without affecting traffic, and to give instructions to driving vehicles, the height of the holographic devices installed on both sides of the road, including the range of light radiation, and the distance between the two are all calculated in detail.

With the passage of time and the press conferences of Huami Technology and Yuntu Technology, the public is more and more looking forward to the technological actions behind the scenes. On January 1th, three days before New Year's Eve, the behind-the-scenes technology and municipal departments finally completed the entire content of the light show.

The time to light up the whole city was arranged on New Year's Eve.
