Cultivate a black technology god

Chapter 40 Can't move the progress?Come on!
On the computer screen is a [-]D modeling video. All the models in the video are modeled, like cartoons.

But the picture quality is better than the cartoon.

Now Wang Jianbao is showing Xia Zhi the rendering effect of natural light.

According to Wang Jianbao, during the rendering process, a sun model was specially built at a high place in the virtual environment to simulate the effect of natural light.

This algorithm is a fully dynamic global illumination solution that can react to scene and lighting changes in real time without requiring specialized ray tracing hardware.

Can render indirect specular reflections and diffuse reflections that can bounce infinitely in grand and detailed scenes;

From as small as millimeters to as large as kilometers.

Model geometry can be streamed and scaled in real-time, so there is no need to worry about polygon count budgets, polygon memory budgets, or draw count budgets;

There is no need to bake details into normal maps or manually edit LOD, and there will be no loss in picture quality.

While listening to Wang Jianbao's introduction, Xia Zhi checked the system screen in his mind and switched to the second task panel:

[Task No. 2 in progress: modeling automatic rendering algorithm. 】

[Development time: 45 days]

[Energy input: 1432 points]

[Investment funds: 98440 points]

[External assistance: 51556 points]

[Total mission points: 78 points]

[Note: The minimum points required to enable system assistance: 100 task points. 】

Xia Zhi nodded in satisfaction. Although he didn't quite understand what technique Wang Jianbao used, it sounded fierce.

In addition, judging from the system points, Wang Jianbao did spend a lot of effort.

Now, with Wang Jianbao as the team leader, there are only three people in the group. As a result, the number of external assistance points has increased to more than 5, which is really amazing.

Xia Zhi thought to himself, this group needs more people, and strives to increase the point of external assistance.

Then do some lossy experiments and increase the capital investment point to reach the task point required by the system.

Wang Jianbao took the trouble to explain, completely unaware that Xia Zhi had lost his mind.

In Wang Jianbao's eyes, Xia Zhi is the only person in the company who can understand his algorithm.

After Wang Jianbao finished speaking, Xia Zhi handed Wang Jianbao the soda water that secretary Qi Siyue had prepared for him.

Wang Jianbao said thank you.

Xia Zhi pointed to the final rendering on the computer and said:
"The effect is not bad, but the time is still a bit long. There are many rendering algorithms that can achieve this effect on the market. How can we break out of the siege? We have to come up with our own highlights."

"It is difficult to make breakthroughs in terms of quality. We can do some work on time optimization."

Seeing Wang Jianbao nodding, Xia Zhi continued:
"I decided to make another team for you."

Wang Jianbao hummed and asked:

"How much?"

Xia Zhi thought for a while, then raised five fingers.

"Five people?"

"Fifty."

"Huh?" Wang Jianbao looked surprised. In his eyes, a small rendering algorithm would not waste so much manpower.

Xia Zhi had his own ideas. He told Wang Jianbao:
"Since Zhixia Technology founded the company, this rendering software is our first shot into the technology market. I don't need to say more about how important this shot is. Let alone fifty people, if we can make good results, five more Hundreds of people can get on."

Wang Jianbao could only nod and had no objection.

He thought in his heart that with such sufficient manpower, several optimization strategies he had discarded before could be promoted at the same time, which might bring surprises.

He reported to Xia Zhi that if there were more people, more equipment would have to be allocated to that group.

Xia Zhi was very generous, and asked Wang Jianbao to contact Sun Shiliang directly, and report as much machinery and equipment as he needed, without saving for him.

Wang Jianbao hummed, feeling that Mr. Xia is really domineering, and he burns money without ambiguity.

This is the attitude of doing research and development.

Xia Zhi came to the second group again, and the second group was doing image recognition for automatic driving.

The leader of the second group at this time is Minister Shi Weili himself, and there are three people under him.

According to him, no suitable team leader has been recruited to lead the team. It just so happens that there are not many people in the R&D department. As a minister, he doesn't have many tasks, so he ends up leading the first and second teams.

Xia Zhi had no doubts about Shi Weili's strength.

Although Shi Weili has taken the management route for many years and has not typed code for a long time, his experience in algorithmic thinking is beyond the reach of newcomers.

Xia Zhi was relieved to have him with him.

He checked the progress of the system panel in his mind:
[Mission in progress: Autopilot algorithm - image recognition. 】

[Development time: 145 days]

[Energy input: 3689 points]

[Investment funds: 107237 points]

[External assistance: 47389 points]

[Total mission points: 36 points]

[Note: The minimum points required to enable system assistance: 100 task points. 】

Although the progress is far behind the rendering algorithm of the first group, Xia Zhi is not in a hurry. He encourages the guys in the second group to keep working hard.

Xia Zhi called out Shi Weili alone, saying that he planned to give the master to the second group.

Shi Weili said with some embarrassment:

"Mr. Xia, the difficulty faced by the second team is not that there are few people, and the technical difficulty is not just a pile of people."

Xia Zhi shook his head and said:

"I'm not a coder for you. I'm looking for the best algorithm engineers from all over the world. There are too many people. If you discuss and develop together, I don't believe you can't crack this hard nut."

Shi Weili nodded, but he was still faintly worried.

Because he knows that even if the geniuses from MIT are called, they may not necessarily produce results.

If money is spent without results, he, the team leader, will be under great pressure.

Xia Zhi returned to the office and called headhunter Emily.

Emily received a call from Xia Zhi and asked Xia Zhi what's the matter.

Xia Zhi cut to the chase:
"Recruit me some algorithm engineers as fierce as Wang Jianbao, recruit from all over the world, no matter if it is a big company or a scientific research scholar from a top university, they will find a way to recruit them."

Emily smiled and said:
"Mr. Xia is really willing to spend money. If you burn money like this, I don't know how long your company's cash flow can last. As far as I know, your company doesn't have a formal product yet, right?"

Xia Zhi glanced at his balance, and said indifferently:

"At least it can last for another half a year, don't worry, this time I'll increase your share by another ten percent."

Emily on the other end giggled:
"It's a pleasure to work with Mr. Xia."

Finally, Emily asked Xia Zhi what else to explain.

Xia Zhi hesitated for a moment before asking:
"Last time, you told me that you can introduce me to a girlfriend. Is it true?"

Emily's laughter over there got louder, and Xia Zhi felt a little embarrassed when he laughed, and he said:
"What's so funny, forget it if it doesn't work, I'll hang up."

"Hey? Don't, Xiaoxia, wait, Miss Mi Li will definitely introduce you. Do you have any requests?"

Xia Zhi said seriously:

"It's still the same as before. You must have independent thinking, be able to give me independent space, and understand me when I work overtime for a week and have no time to accompany her."

Emily curled her lips and said:
"It's easy for me to find a fairy, but the kind you said is really hard to find, but your sister Mi Li will fight for you, and wait for my good news."
