Chapter 478: The Golden City! Yangko Star touched his piano!
【Golden City】
As soon as these words came out!
The meeting room was silent!
Looking around, from Tetsuya Moritani to Rikube Oe, and then to Jiang Yun Sato and other senior executives, all had serious expressions.
Because they all knew very well what this "Golden City" that Mr. Gu was talking about meant.
When you hear this name for the first time, you might think of it as some kind of spiritual symbol.
Like an oasis in the desert, a tower in ruins, and a camp in the end of the world.
It is a utopia, a nihilistic ideal town, and an ivory tower that holds the ideals and sincerity of the people in the Golden Wind game.
It is both a meaning and a concept.
It’s just like what we usually say “meet at the top”.
It is just an abstract conceptual description of reality. You don't have to actually climb to the top of Mount Tai, the first of the Five Great Mountains, to see it.
indeed.
This understanding is naturally correct.
The "Golden City" that Gu Sheng mentioned does have such a meaning.
But at the same time!
The executives of Golden Wind also knew that—
The Golden City is much more than an abstract spirit.
It is the utopia for gold gamers.
At the same time, it is also a utopia for gamers around the world.
Real, gaming ideal country, virtual utopia.
Let’s go back in time to the beginning of the “Golden Engine Project”——
…
That night.
All was quiet.
It was almost ten o'clock in the evening.
Golden Wind had already left work long past the stipulated time.
In addition, there was nothing to do recently, so the employees left work early.
It seems that Golden Wind is in a leisurely and calm state at this moment.
But in fact, everyone in the company knows that the reason why they have “nothing to do” now is not because they are on vacation and have “nothing to do” subjectively.
Rather, they were forced to "do nothing" because of the news of the blockade of the Dream Engine.
It’s not that I don’t want to do it, but I don’t know where to start.
The entire company was in darkness, with only the lights in the president's office still on.
In the smoke, the four people frowned, at a loss as to what to do.
“…That’s probably the situation,”
Gu Sheng exhaled a puff of smoke, extinguished the cigarette butt in the ashtray, and turned on the air purifier behind him:
"The price change of Huanmeng is a foregone conclusion, which has a huge impact on China and even Chinese companies. Now not only are we anxious, but the higher-ups are even more anxious than us."
"That's roughly what Jiang Yingcai said on the phone."
The shadow of malicious blockade hung over their heads like a dark cloud before a downpour.
Hearing this, Moritani, Lubian and Oe on the opposite side felt as if they were carrying a heavy stone.
Their current situation itself is difficult.
Today, the upper echelons are also putting pressure on them, stressing that the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility.
However, there is nothing much to say about this.
After all, the upper-level officials are now their amulets and the foundation of their invincible position in the country.
Once you enjoy your rights, you naturally have to assume your obligations. There is no free lunch in the world, and this is as it should be.
But the question is - how can they break the impasse?
"We have to make the engine. Otherwise, if it's Huanmeng that's holding us back today, then Chunqiu Dameng or Daydream will also hold us back tomorrow."
After a moment, Moriya said:
"But the problem is, based on our current situation, if we develop our own engine, it will definitely not be able to keep up with the level of our works."
Looking at the gaming industry, basically, for manufacturers that have their own self-developed engines, the industrial level of their works always follows the performance level of the engine.
Wear pants that fit your butt.
But Golden Wind's current situation is that his butt is too big and his pants are not yet slit.
Take a look at what games they have produced before——
Sekiro, Summit Nation, Resident Evil, Call of Duty
They are all standard 3S-level works!
Only the Huanmeng 5 and engines of the same level can support it!
Now let them make the engine?
It's good enough to support their reproduction of Garden Warfare, but it is impossible to meet their needs for a standard 3S-level masterpiece!
Today's Golden Wind is like a high-speed train. If you let it speed up, it can continue to charge forward with full power.
But if you want to slow it down to the speed of a green train immediately, it is definitely not an easy task.
"But the engine must be developed,"
Lu Bian said:
"This is no longer just our mission, but also the mission of the higher-ups,"
"According to Lao Gu, we can still use the current Cologne Expo without an engine, by manually playing the game and relying solely on the gameplay to make the transition,"
"But we can't attend the CJ show in June without the engine,"
"Even if we have the ability to play 3S manually, the higher-ups won't allow us to play the game manually."
For a while.
The situation was in a dilemma.
Gu Sheng's mind was spinning rapidly as he sat behind his desk.
Tomorrow is the non-public joint meeting hosted by China Entertainment Entertainment.
If we can't come up with a good solution today, the morale of the army will probably be even more shaken at tomorrow's meeting.
What should I do?
Moriya was right.
Judging from their current level of strength, it would be absolutely impossible to produce an engine comparable to Fantasy 5 within three to five years.
But what Lao Lu said is not wrong.
Time waits for no one, and the higher-ups cannot give them three to five years to develop the engine.
"Um……"
Gu Sheng was at a loss as to what to do.
Dajiang also muttered, "Damn Wei Wangdi, they are attacking us now... They should be kind enough to save some face for the future... Aren't they afraid that we will rise up and ban them completely in the future?"
Hearing this.
Moritani couldn't help but smile bitterly:
"Mr. Xu, now is not the time to speak in anger. If possible, we would like to completely crush Dream Engine in terms of graphics performance and compatibility, become the world's number one engine, and directly ban Vivendi, but we are now..."
Speaking of this.
Moriya shrugged, patted Oe's shoulder and sighed: "I can't do it..."
That’s it!
Moritani handed Oe a cigarette.
Just about to light the fire!
But suddenly I heard Gu Sheng speak:
"Hiss - that's a good idea - Dajiang."
ah?
A moment.
The three people on the sofa were stunned and looked at Gu Sheng together.
Even Dajiang couldn't help but be stunned:
"Brother Sheng... I... was just saying that casually..."
Of course he knew that he was just saying that in anger!
If they really had the ability, they would have dug up the graves of that damn Cordick and his father, Vivendi, long ago!
Do we have to wait until now?
Don’t we have that ability?
Dajiang grinned: "Let alone crushing them all, we can't even crush them in one aspect!"
However, as soon as these words came out, Gu Sheng's eyes became brighter, as if the Yangko star had touched his piano!
"Mr. Key!"
Gu Sheng pointed at Dajiang:
"That's right, baby. You're right. If we can create an engine that can completely crush Fantasy 5, then from now on, not only Yunwei, but the entire Prestige series will be under our control!"
"Now, although we cannot crush them in one aspect,"
"But it can create an unprecedented performance in the blank, and temporarily crush the dream with the impact of creation."
"For example—"
Physical destruction!
That’s right!
The unique physical destruction effect tone that the Golden Engine is proud of today was born from this!
Then, Gu Sheng stood up, put his hands on the table, leaned forward, and said aloud as if he had suddenly gained enlightenment:
"Historically, all engines, whether self-developed, commercial, or even free,"
"In order to survive in the gaming industry, manufacturers will focus on improving one aspect of their performance,"
"Like rendering, like sound effects, like augmented reality, network interconnection frameworks, and even input and output,"
"But the traditional somatosensory engine has its limits after all, so——"
Oh Levanin, yame...I mean I got the wrong script.
“So we don’t make traditional engines anymore!”
ah?
ha?
What?
Three confused faces!
The three Moritani looked at each other, puzzled.
No longer making traditional engines?
What does that mean?
Facing the three people's question marks, Gu Sheng raised a finger:
“We want to make a comprehensive modular engine.”
The engine as a whole takes compatibility as its top priority.
First, make a name for yourself through the [Physical Destruction] effect , and use stunning performance to announce the initial success of the engine's development.
Afterwards, through corporate alliances with different engine manufacturers, relying on its own top compatibility characteristics, it continuously absorbs and splices the advantageous technologies of other engines, thus realizing a win-win industrial alliance model for all parties.
Before that, for compatibility reasons, engine modules such as graphics, sound, and network connectivity will be temporarily filled with the most mediocre universal basic modules, waiting to be replaced by better technology.
good.
This is why, when the Golden Engine was first announced, it was in the shape of a bucket that could do everything except physical destruction but was not strong in anything else!
It’s not because the conditions don’t allow it.
It’s because they need compatibility as the first basic principle!
That is to say!
Fundamentally speaking, the Golden Engine is not an engine, but a framework, a super framework that is compatible with most engines in the world!
This is completely feasible for this world's "body sensing engine" technology!
And if one day, they really achieve this level of engine integration!
Then an extremely grand and incredible project will be able to dominate the global gaming circle with an absolutely crushing attitude!
After all, this is an ultimate somatosensory engine that is compatible with the most advanced technologies of multiple engines.
In other words, more than 90 percent of the world's games will be developed using this modular engine.
By then, the "Golden Engine" will be able to evolve into a "hub" - a "hub" that connects all virtual worlds created by game developers around the world.
And Golden Wind will also become the most powerful Yangko star in this huge "hub"!
And in order to achieve this unprecedented achievement!
They must also be prepared to be pioneers!
At this point, Gu Sheng slowly stood up and spoke in a deep voice:
"Everyone!"
"So-called enlightenment is to be able to open up a path to move forward in the dark wilderness!"
"And our golden spirit will be enough to support us to reach the glorious throne of the King of Games!"
"That is our ideal city, that is the utopia of the game, that is our—"
“The Golden City!!!”
