You are a black technology boss, you didn't say it sooner!

Xie Jin walked into Lou Qingyan's office with a strange mood.

The graphics engine was completed on schedule, and the final product surprised everyone because it was... awesome.

Computer graphics is a very magical subject. Sometimes it is just a few lines of simple code, but you can get unexpected cool effects.

This is because a lot of work in graphics is mathematical, and simple codes can carry complex mathematical models.

The bunch of questions that Lou Qingyan raised before are all deformations and improvements of classic mathematical formulas and physical models in graphics.After finishing those questions, it is equivalent to changing all the formulas of traditional graphics by them.

It is easy to solve the problem, but it is difficult to propose the direction of improvement.Xie Jin and others admired Lou Qingyan very much when they were writing the questions, and when they finished the engine and tested the engine effect, they were already convinced.

"This is a roaming scene we made. The polygons and light are really awesome. Boss, take a look!"

The roaming scene is similar to a game map, and you can move freely in it from the first perspective.Xie Jin and the others reproduced a small square near the company, and the scene was displayed on Lou Qingyan's computer.

Lou Qingyan moved the mouse, and the screen crossed the steps, pushed to the fountain, passed the fountain, and moved into the nearby woods.The light in the woods is breathtakingly beautiful, the fine spots of light fall through the gaps in the leaves, the trunks show an unusually real texture, and the rough touch seems to be transmitted to the human skin through vision...

The most powerful thing is the leaves, densely packed and overwhelming, each piece is clearly defined.This precision is very scary nowadays, even the best 3A games can hardly avoid turning the leaves into a pile of grotesque sawtooths, but this small roaming scene in Lou Qingyan’s computer is almost at the level of a movie.

Games and movies are different.Some people may wonder, the movie screen has long been able to confuse the real one, why the game can't.

This is because it takes tens of hours to render one frame of a movie, while the game is rendered in real time, and the rendering time depends on the frame rate. If the frame rate reaches 60, it means that 60 frames are rendered in one second.

What a terrifying difference between one frame for dozens of hours and 60 frames per second.

If one day, the picture quality of real-time rendering can be comparable to that of a movie, it means that the game picture can also be fake.

On that day, we can create an imaginary world in the computer.

You walk around in this world and everything you see is hyper-real - sunlight, water, leaves, skin textures, furry animals...

This is what graphics means for virtual reality.

If you can climb to the top of the graphics ladder, you can build a 99% visually realistic VR world, and 83% of the information that humans get comes from vision.

Plus another 11% comes from hearing, and people can get 94% of the information from audio-visual VR alone, which already means a very high sense of immersion.

That's why Lou Qingyan doesn't imitate the sense of touch and smell like other VR researchers... As long as he can achieve the ultimate in vision, he can beat everyone in this field.

Looking at the roaming program on the screen, he was still a little dissatisfied: "Why doesn't this leaf have veins?"

Xie Jin said speechlessly: "Let's be picky about the leaf veins. Do we have to do it one by one? And such a big pile of leaves can't be modeled at one time. We took [-] photos of leaves before we built the canopy model." Woolen cloth."

"It's lucky to have automatic modeling to make you lazy," Lou Qingyan said helplessly, "One year ago, you give me a day to build this model for a try."

"It's all thanks to the boss." Xie Jin flattered at the right time.

"Is it difficult to write an AI program to automatically generate leaf veins?" Lou Qingyan didn't like this set, "Actually, leaves can also be automatically generated. A GAN is enough, can't write?"

"Yes, yes, I didn't expect it for a while..."

"How many times do I need to emphasize? The concept of intelligence is the foundation, put it in your mind, don't wait until you write an AI program to think about it. 3D-GAN is so cutting-edge, how many laboratories are still working hard, I have taught you everything, how about you? Did you learn it in the dog's belly?"

Xie Jin was a little stunned by the training, and for a moment he just bowed his head in shame.

But after a while, he seemed to have realized something suddenly, and a little joy appeared on his face.

Lou Qingyan became even more angry, "What are you doing, you are still happy."

"Boss, this is the first time you have trained me, the first time!" Xie Jinke was excited, "Do you know that only when you have expectations for others will you have emotions for others, whether it is gratification or anger, this is the first time. ..."

He looked at Lou Qingyan's expression, and his tone slowed down: "This is the first time, you have expectations for us."

Lou Qingyan was startled.

Xie Jin didn't dare to say more, and immediately changed the subject: "There are no loopholes in the program? Is there anything else that needs to be changed?"

"...It's nothing," Lou Qingyan said, "There's nothing to change, anyway, it's an open source program, if there are bugs, let others fix them."

On the contrary, open source programs are only fun if they have bugs, especially for programs as powerful as the terminal engine, the process of finding bugs and filling the code base will definitely bring great fun to programmers.

"Really want to open source?" Xie Jin felt a little distressed, "Of course I am happy to embrace open source, but the terminal engine has greatly subverted the traditional graphics algorithm, and there are so many new algorithms..."

Lou Qingyan thought about it for a while: "Let's take it step by step and open source the improved algorithm first."

"What about the new algorithm, will it not be open source?"

"No," Lou Qingyan said slowly, "I want you to write all the new algorithms into papers, and open source any part of which paper is published."

Xie Jin stared, "All, all written as a thesis?"

"At least five papers on physical simulation, five papers on real-time ray tracing," Lou Qingyan counted with his fingers, "two more papers on other directions, and seven or eight papers on derivation of mathematical formulas... twenty papers can be made up ?”

Xie Jin staggered and fell onto the sofa.

"No, boss, boss! Do you think writing a thesis is writing a composition?"

"If you have data and results, can't you write a paper?" Lou Qingyan asked back, "If you write one paper a week, don't the eight of you get eight papers? This is definitely the level of SCI, and real-time ray tracing may be enough for science." , for free! Don’t want it?”

"Don't, don't, we don't dare to think about the top issue," Xie Jin shivered, "There are only eight articles, what should I do if there are twelve more?"

"Let me write four, and the remaining eight... Have you forgotten the physics genius?"

"Materials and physics geniuses also understand computers..."

"Of course," Lou Qingyan said, "he knows everything. If you are not sure about writing science, I will leave it to him."

Xie Jin became sour, his whole body turned into lemon juice, "You two have such a good relationship? Is he even willing to give you science..."

Although the real-time ray tracing algorithm may not be able to be published in science, it is very unusual for Lou Qingyan to dare to say this. What does it mean to be the top journal of CNS!The pinnacle dream of academia, okay? !

Lou Qingyan said: "If this problem does not exist, he is probably willing to give it away, but will I want it?"

"Then this..."

"The result of this algorithm is mine. He just helped to do the questions and write a paper on behalf of him. If he is willing to ask for it, I would like to let him sign it."

Xie Jin: "He is willing to send you off, and you are also willing to send him off..."

Lou Qingyan: "What do you mean?"

"It's not interesting..." Xie Jin got up slowly, "I'm leaving, I'm leaving, I can't bear it anymore."

"Fuck you," Lou Qingyan sneered, "I found out that the people in our company were brought in by you and Xia Huai. On the surface, they look like elites and decent, but inside they are all sorts of dishonest."

Xie Jin was originally the kind of person who looked dull but was full of heart. He was a little taciturn at first, but now he is becoming more and more lively. Xia Huai was also trained by Lou Qingyan to have a black belly. As a result, these two people led the entire company astray. up.

Xie Jin is too wronged, who is the most dishonest person, "At least we didn't sneak out to play at any time, and we didn't step on two—"

Lou Qingyan: "Huh?"

"..." Xie Jin swallowed the second half of the sentence, "I'm leaving, I'm going to work on my thesis."

Xie Jin walked out of Lou Qingyan's office, only to find that Xia Huai was still outside.

"Why didn't you leave?"

"Come here, stay away so Lou Papi can't hear you," Xia Huai pulled him away from the office, "Hey, did you ask?"

"what?"

"It's about him and the physics genius."

Xie Jin looked at her and said slowly: "He said that a physics genius would like to give him a science..."

Xia Huai: "..."

Xie Jin added: "He also said that he would also like to give someone a piece..."

Xia Huai: "!!!"

Xie Jin: "What did he give Jiang Fu?"

Xia Huai: "??? Shut up."

"Ahh, a scumbag with two feet on his feet!" This feeling of being fed shi after just eating candy!

With a "creak", the door not far away suddenly opened.

The two turned around stiffly, only to see Lou Qingyan standing behind the door expressionlessly.

"You guys are too loud."

"..."

There is still a little work left before the release of the engine. It is very simple to confirm which algorithms can be open-sourced, and to complete an open-source castrated version of the program. It will be officially released tomorrow.

When Lou Qingyan came home, Jiang Fu was studying the logic of the rendering pipeline that he had given him.

The rendering pipeline is almost the most important part of the GPU. This module is equivalent to the brain and can direct the operation of the computing module. If he does not study the logic of the transparent rendering pipeline, Jiang Fu cannot start to build the architecture of the computing unit.

Seeing Lou Qingyan coming home, he greeted lightly, "Are you back? Take a rest first, and I'll cook later."

Lou Qingyan took off his coat and hung it by the door, changed into his slippers, and sat down next to him, "How do you look?"

"It's almost finished." Jiang Fu said, "It's very novel logic, very... epoch-making."

"So fast? Do you understand everything?"

"Ah."

Lou Qingyan looked at him and said, "Jiang Fu, let me ask you a question."

"Just ask."

"If I want a cns and you happen to have it, would you like to send it to me?"

Jiang Fu was taken aback.

He thought for a while and said, "If I agree, can you tell me why?"

If Lou Qingyan really wanted a paper, he would probably be able to publish it until he was soft. Let alone the algorithm of the special effects plug-in, just the new GPU rendering pipeline in his hand is amazing enough.

For Jiang Fu, academic dishonesty is not a child's play, so he asked one more question.

Lou Qingyan wanted to ask the question to the end, but felt that this kind of question was really boring, so he said, "Of course it's because I plan to send you an article!"

He explained the great significance of the new real-time ray tracing algorithm, and then said: "This technology can change the entire graphics rendering method. If it is written well, it may really be enough for science. Anyway, you also participated in this algorithm. I'm going to give it to you, isn't it interesting?"

Jiang Fu laughed, "Since we did it together, wouldn't it be better to sign it together?"

The author has something to say:

Xia Huai: He went bankrupt to pay off his debts

Xie Jin: send papers

Xia Huai: He is the only one who stands up and speaks for him

Xie Jin: send papers

Xia Huai: He gave up his career for him

Xie Jin: send papers

Xia Huai: ...

- "lost"
