Chapter 958 "Pony" Artificial Intelligence Laboratory
Qiao Liang flipped through the promotional materials of these old games a little, and each of them was full of childhood memories.
At that time, he didn't have any financial means, and naturally he couldn't talk about buying genuine game support, and even now his memory of these games has been completely blurred.
Therefore, seeing these classic games, Qiao Liang still feels quite nostalgic.
"Don't say anything, buy a supplemental ticket!"
Qiao Liang didn't look through it carefully, and directly paid for the collection.
This collection is not cheap,There are a total of eight games in it,The price of each game ranges from dozens of dollars to more than a hundred,This collection is a six-fold discount,The total price is 588 yuanγ
Even the discounted price is quite expensive, after all, these are old games from more than ten years ago, and the gameplay is completely behind the times, not to mention the graphics and game mechanics.
As a purely game-friendly game, it's definitely not worth the money.
But for a hardcore player like Qiao Liang, this money is actually equivalent to "making up the ticket", after all, he didn't have the financial ability at the time, and it's not bad to spend money to buy a wave of feelings now.
Now Qiao Liang's life is getting better and better, all thanks to games, and it's understandable to buy a few games to support the development of domestic games, besides, the materials of these games can also be used as videos in the future (probably).
After paying, Qiao Liang looked through the games.
""Landlord Game", I really miss it, but it's a pity that this game has to be played by many people to be interesting."
""Heroes and Heroes", this can be regarded as a generation of masterpieces."
""Edgeworth Love" is one of the most top-notch games in this batch of games, but it's a pity that the sequels in the future are getting more and more ordinary."
"Conquest of the Three Kingdoms? This game is very average, there were not many players at that time, and it was an imitation of foreign games. The words of the short man are barely acceptable, but they are not a good game. β
ββ¦β¦β
"I'll put up with "Conquest of the Three Kingdoms", what is this?"
Qiao Liang looked at these games, the style of the games in front of him was quite normal, although the types and qualities of these games are different, some are well-deserved classic games, and some are relatively niche, but overall it is barely acceptable.
As a result, I suddenly found that there was a strange thing mixed in in the back.
"Mission and Choice? Isn't this the legendary shame of national travel? β
"Why is this garbage game still hanging up to cheat money? It's sold for more than 100 yuan! β
"The official brain pumped?"
Qiao Liang almost thought he was wrong.
He didn't play Mission & Choice back then, mainly because he didn't have the financial means at that time, and it was impossible for him to convince his parents to spend more than a hundred dollars to buy the game.
Later, the game's reputation collapsed, and there was no need to buy it.
Of course, Qiao Liang has not played this game, it does not mean that he has not heard of the "shocking" legend of this game.
So, now that I see it appear in this collection of domestic games, I feel even more incredible.
"Just this thing sells for more than a hundred fast?"
"Five dollars is too much!"
"Hey, wait a minute, could this be the official version of the game that has been improved?"
Qiao Liang suddenly felt that this matter did not seem to be as simple as he thought.
He immediately clicked on "Mission and Choice" to see if this was the official version that had fixed bugs and improved gameplay.
β¦β¦
Ten minutes later, Qiao Liang left the keyboard and mouse with both hands, looked at the lake outside the window, and began to think about life.
This game hasn't changed at all!
A bunch of sparse graphics, perfunctory sound effects, and game bugs everywhere......
Qiao Liang hadn't been poisoned by the game "Mission and Choice" before, but this time he still didn't escape!
As for why he continued to play for ten minutes, it was probably a curiosity that drove him.
He wanted to see what kind of garbage the game could be. Did the official really put it up without changing it at all?
Now it's clear.,This game is really useless.,And the official really didn't change it at all!
Of course, it would be understandable to put Mission & Choice back on the official game platform with the idea of "enriching the game library of the official platform", "remembering the shame", and "faithfully recording the garbage games that once sounded the alarm bell for all game companies".
But what does it mean that the official also mixes it with other domestic games of the same era to make a collection and promote it together?
How good are other games?
Qiao Liang was speechless, he switched back to the table and looked at it, this game collection was bundled and sold at a six-percent discount when purchased, but each game can be refunded separately, and the refund conditions are extremely lenient.
Qiao Liang couldn't help but suddenly think: "Oh, I understand." β
"This official collection actually has the effect of 'remembering bittersweet and sweet'."
"This collection is not the best games of that era, but the most topical, representative and even controversial games of that era!"
"There are very good classic games here, such as "Landlord Game", "Heroes and the Clouds" and the like, as well as "Three Kingdoms Conquest", which is relatively niche and does not sell well but has a special type, as well as the sparse quality negative textbook "Mission and Choice".
"The official set up this option to refund separately because it knows that players will definitely not accept some of these games at all."
"So players can pick games they don't interest in for refunds without incurring financial losses."
"I see, so it makes sense."
Qiao Liang quickly thought of a relatively reasonable explanation.
And this is exactly what Meng Chang wants to achieve.
Meng Chang had already thought that in this "collection of domestic games", the game "Mission and Choice" would definitely seem out of place.
If the other games are the kind of classics that deserve to be collected all the time, wouldn't Mission & Choice be too obvious in this collection?
So, in order to reduce the suspicion of players, although the eight games selected in this collection are all classic games from more than ten years ago, not every one of them is worth the price, for example, "Three Kingdoms Conquest" is a relatively niche, poor sales, good reputation but unique enough.
Having a refund option specific to a particular game will minimize the chance of being discovered.
Meng Chang also considered whether to set up this collection to be sold in packages with all other games, and only "Mission and Choice" needed to be purchased separately, so as to minimize the chance of "accidental injury".
But when he thought about it, this was tantamount to directly excluding "Mission and Choice", which was too strange, and it was easy to cause some strange associations among players.
Therefore, in the end, I chose this way of mixing fish and beads.
It turned out that this method was quite effective, and Qiao Liang was deceived.
Of course, the premise of all this is that Tengda's secrecy work is done well.
The outside world does not know that Tengda is working on a remake of the game "Mission and Choice", and most people will not associate it with this aspect, and Qiao Liang is no exception.
He opened his fan base and found that there were a few sporadic messages in the group discussing this collection.
It's just that it didn't cause much of a stir, after all, most players don't have much interest in this kind of old antique game, and people like Qiao Liang are a minority after all.
A few brothers complained a few words about the game "Mission and Choice", and then they were overshadowed by the overwhelming information in the group, and soon dissipated into invisibility.
Qiao Liang didn't pay too much attention to it, he has so many games every day, most of the games may not even be opened, and today's game collection is no exception.
Unless it's a special big production, he can't wait to open the game and clear it in one go.
It's just that after closing the game collection, Qiao Liang fell into confusion again.
What should I do?
There's really been little inspiration lately, and the updated video has been around for a while.
Suddenly, Qiao Liang had a flash of inspiration.
"Let's do another issue of 'garbage game spitting'! "Mission and Choice" doesn't just provide the material. β
Qiao Liang suddenly thought of a good way to make a water video.
Although the game "Mission and Choice" has been repeatedly whipped as a national game of shame, in recent years, there are almost no more UP masters of whipping corpses. After all, this game is too old, and many players don't know that the popularity has long passed.
Qiao Liang thinks that it is not a good thing to make a video to complain at this time, and take the audience to reminisce about the garbage games that were rotten out of the sky back then!
Thinking of this, Qiao Liang made up his mind that the next video will do this!
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
At the same time, Pei Qian sat in the car and yawned.
The sun outside was good, and the sun warmed him.
Originally, he should have taken a good nap at this time, but he couldn't sleep because there was something he needed to deal with.
In the morning, Jiang Yuan, the person in charge of OTTO Technology, called and said that the matter of the artificial intelligence laboratory had been almost prepared, and he hoped that Mr. Pei would come to inspect and guide the work.
This time, it directly wholly acquired a company that researches artificial intelligence, and poached several technical backbones from other companies such as Xunke Technology.
This company already has some results, but it can't be compared with a leading enterprise like Xunke Technology. In order to better communicate and collaborate between the two sides, dozens of employees of this company have all moved to Jingzhou, and OTTO Technology has arranged accommodation and office space for them.
Of course, there are also some employees of the original company who resigned because they didn't want to leave the original city, but only a few people, after all, the premium for poaching people this time is very high, and everyone knows how good Tengda's treatment is.
Although the team that was dug up with a lot of money has already achieved some research results, and it can run smoothly even if it is completely ignored, Jiang Yuan feels that he still has to let Mr. Pei guide and determine the direction of the research.
After all, artificial intelligence is related to many industries in Tengda, and there are many branches of this technology.
As for Pei Qian, he really needs to twist the research direction of this artificial intelligence laboratory a little, try not to let it have too much positive impact on his current industry, and ensure that there are not too many useful results after these tens of millions of dollars are spent, so that he can continue to throw money into it with confidence and boldness in the future.
Soon, OTTO Technology arrived.
Jiang Yuan was already waiting downstairs, and directly led Pei Qian to the office of the artificial intelligence laboratory.
"Mr. Pei, this is the person in charge of the artificial intelligence laboratory, Shen Renjie."
Shen Renjie looks to be nearly forty years old, dresses more casually, has the characteristics of a programmer, and looks like a more pragmatic person.
After getting to know each other, Shen Renjie said: "Mr. Pei, why don't I call the backbone members of the laboratory to introduce them, and then explain to you the current research results of our laboratory?" β
Pei Qian raised his hand: "No need, I don't have to worry about your affairs, let's go straight to the point." β
Jiang Yuan nodded: "It's okay, then let's go to the conference room to talk." β
The three of them came to the conference room and took their seats.
In fact, Pei Qian doesn't care about the composition of the laboratory and the research results, he only cares about whether the laboratory can continue to burn money for himself safely.
So, you have to come up with a good name and look for a good omen.
Pei Qian took a sip of tea and asked, "Does the laboratory have a name?" β
Shen Renjie replied, "Yes." Previously, the name of our laboratory was 'Qilin' Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, because Qilin is a kind of Rui beast in ancient China, which is extremely intelligent and has an auspicious meaning, which is more suitable for the theme of artificial intelligence. β
Pei Qian's brows immediately furrowed, and he shook his head and said, "It's not appropriate." β
Jiang Yuan said: "Then just call it AEEIS Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, after all, AEEIS is our main artificial intelligence product at present, and the name is nice and easy to remember." β
Pei Qian shook his head again: "It's still not appropriate." β
Good guy, is it okay to call a unicorn?
This name is too domineering, which makes Pei Qian always have a strong sense of crisis.
It's also not appropriate to call AEEIS Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, because AEEIS is already on fire, and Pei Qian doesn't want to bring this artificial intelligence laboratory to fire again.
Jiang Yuan and Shen Renjie looked at Mr. Pei, which means that this is not good, that is not good, can you give a suitable name?
Pei Qian thought for a moment and said, "In my opinion, it's called the 'Pony' Artificial Intelligence Laboratory!" β
It's not appropriate to call a unicorn, so let's do a reverse operation!
The so-called horse refers to a horse with very poor qualifications and is not outstanding, also known as a lame horse. In layman's terms, it is an inferior horse with a stupid brain and a slow runner.
Pei Qian vaguely remembered that he had read an ancient text somewhere before: "There are three things in horses, one is called a horse, the second is a field horse, and the third is a horse." β
Roughly speaking, there are three kinds of horses, some are war horses used to fight on the battlefield, some are field horses used to plough the land, and some are horses that are not used for eggs.
The name of this artificial intelligence laboratory is "Horse", because I hope that the artificial intelligence researched will be stupid and stupid, and the speed of research is also very slow, and in the end it will be useless.
Jiang Yuan and Shen Renjie were stunned.
"Pony" Artificial Intelligence Lab?
It's a name that's too loud!
Isn't that "unicorn" from before quite nice? Good guy, this is directly downgraded, I don't know how many grades are okay?
Pei Qian had an unfathomable expression, anyway, as long as he was not weak-hearted, the weak-hearted one would definitely be someone else.
"Well, that's the name!"
