I Really Didn’t Want to Be the Savior Chapter 409: Let’s change the world with me
, the fastest update I really don't want to be a savior! New chapter!
With a new topic, and it is still the new imaging technology that he is most interested in, James stopped talking with Chen Feng about the script, but started with the new technology in Chen Feng's mouth.
Chen Feng is not bragging, he almost described the performance of the first-generation self-taming engine according to his memory.
"Diaz, have you seen the quantum computing programming ideas I mentioned in "Mad Men's Conjecture 2.0"?"
"See."
"The core framework of the so-called self-dominant engine is being built on the basis of quantum programming. Diaz, you are not a practitioner in the field of artificial intelligence, so I can't explain it to you in detail. You just need to know that what I built The core of the program is exactly like the DNA of our human body. Data is its nutrient. It can automatically capture the required data, continuously copy and divide it around the core, and obtain more and more powerful simulation rendering capabilities. The virtual reality constructed by this engine will It will become more and more false.”
James Diaz tasted Chen Feng's words carefully and was inexplicably creepy.
After all, it is a giant of science fiction movies. In his masterpiece, there is an artificial intelligence betrayal theme such as "The Ultimate". He immediately asked: "Will this not lead to the birth of a super artificial intelligence with self-awareness? Will this... ...too dangerous?"
Chen Feng smiled and shook his head, opened his eyes and said nonsense, half true and half false: "Data is data after all, and chip CPU is chip after all. The calculation of artificial intelligence is built in the computer's computing core that is always regular, and its randomness Never catch up with the quantum collapse of the human brain. AI does not produce truly free thoughts, so your worries are overthinking.”
James: "But there's always some risk?"
Seeing the confusion, Chen Feng simply said: "The flames may burn people, burn down houses, and cause forest fires, but if primitive people do not take the initiative to control the flames, can the average life expectancy of human beings exceed 20 years old? China There is a saying, you can't avoid the doctor. Risks always exist, but can we give up progress because we are afraid of risks? Another example is the nuclear bomb, now you think the nuclear bomb has brought back the progress of our civilization?"
James stopped the question, "If there is no runaway war, the meaning of nuclear bombs is actually progress."
"That's right." Chen Feng spread his hands, "Have you ever had an illusion? Why in the early 20th century, our great scientists emerged one after another. In the 21st century, although technology is still advancing, A group of people still win the Nobel Prize every year, but we can clearly feel that there are fewer people who can bring qualitative changes to the world. Scientists who are admired by the world seem to have become scarce items, just like Einstein back then , Fermi, von Neumann, Qian Xuesen and other academic idols are becoming less and less, is it really just because ordinary people are exposed to too much entertainment culture and their pursuit of academics has weakened?"
James thought for a while, "There is a certain reason, but the essential problem is that the things created by scientists are too far away from ordinary people's lives, and secondly, they can't be seen with the naked eye every time they move forward. change the world and change the scientific outlook of mankind.”
Chen Feng nodded, "Yes, do you want to know the reason? Do you know?"
James Diaz took a heavy sip of coffee, "It's because as human beings get deeper and deeper into the mysteries of the universe, the amount of computation that needs to be done every time we move forward is getting bigger and bigger, and our computing power Progress is holding back our thinking. So we can no longer easily create qualitative changes, but can only accumulate a little amount of quantitative changes into qualitative changes?"
Chen Feng smiled, "Yes."
"But this problem was solved this year, Mr. Chen, you are changing the world."
Chen Feng: "Don't pay attention to those details. I'm not comparable to ordinary scientists."
"Yes, you may not copy."
"Cough cough." Chen Feng blushed slightly, "In short, we know that artificial intelligence may be poison, it may be drinking poison to quench thirst, or it may bring about the doomsday of intelligent warfare. But if human beings don't want to wait until they run out of solar system After the resources are gradually desperately trapped under the starry sky, human beings must create artificial intelligence that can replace us to complete a large number of calculations, regard it as our sub-civilization, and cooperate with it.”
"Let me give an example, our spacecraft wants to fly over the open space between the solar system and neighboring galaxies, and it needs to travel a distance of four light-years. Suppose we can create a universe that can reach one-tenth of the speed of light in a hundred years. The spaceship, in fact, is not enough."
"You should know how powerful a tiny speck of dust in the universe is when it hits a ship at such a high speed? We can't even make it through the Kuiper asteroid belt safely. So, other than precise control of the engine , adjust the travel direction at any time, and make a perfect rehearsal calculation of the forward route, we must also build a strong enough anti-magnetic field shield in the front section of the ship to protect our ship."
"The computing power required for a spacecraft that can fly out of the solar system at high speed and safely is at least 10,000 times the computing power of all the supercomputers of all mankind today. We do not rely on quantum computing and artificial intelligence, but can What? Use a human brain? Impossible."
James Diaz gradually understood Chen Feng's intentions, "So your self-domesticated special effects rendering engine, on the surface, seems to be for the special effects of movies in the new era, but it is actually for the future of artificial intelligence and big data algorithms. Are you trying to change the world?"
"Yes, but to create a new thing from nothing, it cannot be created out of thin air and needs the support of the industry chain. Because research and promotion of new technologies requires money and investment. The more important the newer technology, The larger the amount of capital required. Therefore, technology cannot exist apart from reality, and artificial intelligence exists to serve the computing needs of human beings after all.”
"So I chose to cut from the field of special effects in film, which is currently relatively broad and allows ordinary people to quickly appreciate the changes it has caused to the times. Diaz, come on, join me in changing with new technology The future of cinema, and the future of changing humanity. Isn't that what you most want to do?"
Although Chen Feng doesn't like politics and never calls himself a statesman, his speech is quite provocative.
James' emotions were slowly aroused.
"So, Mr. Chen, what effect can your engine achieve?"
Chen Feng clicked on a blockbuster famous for its special effects in the past two years, and said: "The accuracy, fidelity, and expressiveness of the picture, if I have to measure it with data, I can at least reach this level three times. As for The rendering speed should reach the current highest level...well, 10 times. In addition, the difficulty of modification will also be reduced a lot, and you can even directly generate a simulated environment on the basis of the original painting, and then fine-tune it as you want."
James Diaz pondered for a moment when he heard the words, then sternly, brought up another matter.
Only then did Chen Feng know what he was worrying about just now.
It's the post-production effects for the film he's working on.
James Diaz built a large and professional technical team around his needs many years ago, and maintained in-depth cooperation with many large post-production special effects teams around the world.
In terms of the technical level of the postmodern film industry, he considers himself second, and probably few people dare to claim first.
But even so, his desire to do better was never satisfied.
He was always critical and dissatisfied.
This time there were some details that stumped him.
Someone else would certainly be willing to get away with it, but he wouldn't.
In addition to an additional investment of more than 50 million US dollars, if he wants to achieve the perfect effect, he will need to increase the production cycle of about four months after the completion of the project.
According to the film's release schedule, it's too late.
After listening to James' needs, Chen Feng made a decision in person and decided to take over the job at a price of 20 million knives and compress the delivery cycle within one month.
Although Director Zhan has absolute confidence in Chen Feng's ability, Chen Feng has made huge concessions on the payment model out of commercial considerations.
After all, the light and shadow studio has just built a framework, and there are not many employees.
The order for this first business is as high as 20 million US dollars. The contract is too harsh and unfair to others.
Chen Feng stated that no deposit or advance payment was required, and payment was not required until the finished product was taken out and fully approved by the investor team, production team and the director team led by Director Zhan.
Of course, he is not afraid that others are clearly satisfied, and deliberately pretend to be dissatisfied and default, and play with him.
With Chen Feng's huge influence in his hands, there is a huge industry behind him that is capable of grasping the direction of technological development in the next few decades. Unless others take the wrong medicine, they will be with him for 20 million yuan. Freeze.
The two also handwritten a letter of intent.
If the new technology portrayed by Chen Feng can really solve James' current predicament perfectly, and the content produced by Xingfeng Light and Shadow Studio appears in the final film, then James Diaz will direct "Across the Stars", and not Then try to add in any personal thoughts.
He will follow the script completely, and even the storyboard will fully meet Chen Feng's needs.
He will only faithfully act as an executor who transforms the script into a picture - commonly known as the tool man squatting on the director's seat.
If this story spreads out, I don't know how many people's jaws will be dropped.
Zhan Shen has fallen and succumbed to reality.
The business was almost done, and into the chat time, Chen Feng went to the filming site at the invitation of James.
It took nearly ten minutes to arrive at the large studio from the office building, and Chen Feng saw many shooting scenes built on the ground along the way.
James is very proud to explain one by one.
Which hill was dug up by him? In order to make the vegetation on the hill logical, he even spent a lot of money to buy a large number of plants to plant on it. In order to take care of these plants, how many gardeners were hired. .
During the actual shooting process, this hill will be the main set for the actors to promote the plot, and a large green screen will be raised behind the hill to facilitate post-production.
Chen Feng expressed admiration for this.
It's no wonder that other people's A-level blockbusters have such a strong picture quality that they are really willing to spend their money.
Arriving in the studio where the set is being built, the scene looks hot.
The huge workshop has been built into more than ten rooms of various types according to the needs of the plot, representing various functional sections in the spaceship.
At this time, there are more than 400 various staff members here.
In some low-cost sci-fi dramas, similar sets are often rented and then appropriately remodeled. Therefore, careful audiences can easily find that the scenes of a certain movie are familiar with the scenes in another drama when watching the drama.
This is not an illusion, it is a fact.
How could James, a nitpicky and rich man, tolerate someone else's set in his own film.
Of course he had to design it himself and strictly control it.
In addition to personally finalizing the theme and inviting well-known artists to serve as visual art directors for artistic sense, he also recruited nearly two dozen graduate Ph.D. and Ph.D. students from the University of California, Berkeley to serve as scientific advisors.
In order not to delay the studies of these students, the cunning James also set up a research group with Berkeley for his film, the project is called "How to Perfectly Apply Rigorous Science to Science Fiction Movies" .
In a set room, two young men and an old man with long hair are using surveying instruments to measure an image on the wall.
This image appears to be a galaxy simulation of a binary star system.
Master Chen dazzled his eyes, super-brain habitual calculation.
This map is too much.
There are so many golden ratio ratios, how serious is the obsessive-compulsive disorder who designed this picture?
What's even more frustrating is that these tangent lines representing the gravitational field, planetary orbits, and the yellow equatorial plane are combined together, but they are full of artistic sense.
The worst thing is that Chen Feng has "seen" the exact same galaxy.
Mysterious homeworld.
According to the description of the remnants of the Lost clan, the parent star of the Lost clan is indeed such a binary star system.
However, with the scientific level of human beings in the 21st century, it is impossible to clearly see the mysterious parent star, which is located in the horizon isolation zone behind the galactic center, and the distance reaches another 100,000 light-years.
Seeing that Chen Feng was interested in this painting, James said proudly: "This is the double star system of the Bonut family star set in my film. How is it? Is it beautiful?"
"Very beautiful. What kind of race are the Bonuts?"
"A kind and gentle cyborg life family, in my story, is a close partner with the Earth people."
"I remember reading on the news that this script was originally written by Diaz yourself?"
"Yes, but also the result of a joint effort by the writing team and me."
Chen Feng silently gave a thumbs up, "Amazing job, you guys are doing a great job, it's incredible."
"This is my visual art director Martin, and he designed the star map art concept." James introduced the long-haired old man.
"These two ... in short, young scientists at Berkeley University, who are responsible for perfecting the scientific arguments for this galaxy map."
James wanted to introduce two other young men, but couldn't remember the names.
Chen Feng's eyes were sharp, and he saw the badges of the two.
The blond white youth is named Smith Aslan, and the dark-haired youth with some Asian features is called Kad Ivanov Liu.
Well, a Chinese-Russian hybrid, and if I guessed correctly, his father's surname is Liu.
Wait...the name.
Chen Feng's head froze.
He remembered a profile.
Kad Ivanov Liu, born in May 1995 in the San Francisco Bay Area, is of mixed Chinese and Russian descent.
Received a Ph.D. in astrophysics from the University of California, Berkeley in 2025, and then worked for NASA in theoretical computing.
It seems unremarkable here, but the next sentence immediately changes.
In 2043, at the age of 38, Liu Card resigned from NASA to teach at Berkeley University and create science fiction in his spare time.
Liucard's interest in science fiction stemmed from working as a science consultant on James Diaz's set during his Ph.D.
He has joined James' writing team several times between 2020 and 2025.
James planted the seeds of science fiction in his heart, telling him what it means to use scientific thinking to imagine the future.
He started the "Sparkless" series in 2065 after creating quite a few unsatisfactory works.
In this magnificent work, he uses his personal imagination of the universe to the fullest, and perfectly integrates his profound and comprehensive knowledge from his long-term professional work.
In his story, he describes that after human beings became the masters of the galaxy, they ran out of the galaxy with all their strength, fought wits and bravery with a variety of powerful hostile races that existed in accordance with the rules of the universe, and finally defeated many strong The enemy, got the qualification to stand in the universe, a grand story that will last forever.
His story is logical, gripping, and brilliant.
And most of the theories he fantasizes in the book can find enough scientific basis in the 21st century.
Until the 31st century, scientists were even more astonished to discover that his depiction of future technology was at least 50% accurate.
He is one of the best sci-fi writers of the twenty-first century, and probably one of the best sci-fi writers of the twenty-first century.
His "Sparks Never Die" was adapted into a famous film series, the first of which was called "Across the Stars" and was released in 2115.
A brief introduction to this character, since the sixth timeline, it has not appeared in the seventh and eighth timelines.
Why?
Of course, from then on, Master Chen himself began to copy the "Sparkless" series of movies, and every time "Across the Stars" was filmed in advance, and it was released in 2025!
Chen Feng thinks so.
Isn't Liu Card working regularly for James until 2023?
Maybe in the sixth, seventh and eighth timelines, this master was mixed in with James' team and participated in the scientific advisory work for "Across the Stars" early on~IndoMTL.com~ No wonder The hand-feeling of each shot before was so good, the lens was so good, and the combination of fantasy and reality was so close, Master Chen thought that it was all due to him acting as a consultant to control the screen, but now that I think about it, Liu Carde is also the master. in the team!
Liu definitely admires the script of "Across the Stars".
But I just don't know, how would he feel if he knew that the original author of the script was himself?
In the later timeline, Liu Card's name does not appear in the historical materials of science fiction works at all. It is probably that Jiang Lang was exhausted after this man's creativity was removed, and he failed to write hard goods, and it was lost in history. Everyone is gone.
Alas.
Chen Daishi, who was supposed to be a copycat brother who was "insensitive", suddenly blushed a little.
He has the delusion that he was planted in the field to steal melons, but was caught by the owner.
What's even more sad is that at this time, Liu Card was looking at him with a look at him.
