Jade Building, Dream Entertainment's new temporary headquarters, the top floor of the 38th floor.
Dream Entertainment's Game Engine Department's person-in-charge, Zhu Jianyun, excitedly grabbed a document and passed it to Shi Lei. He gestured for Shi Lei to take a look.
Shi Lei was puzzled. Mu Shuang told him a piece of bad news.
It's only been an hour, and Zhu Jianyun is already giving him good news?
After receiving the document from Zhu Jianyun, Shi Lei looked at the detailed description in the document.
The entire document was only four pages of A4 paper. Shi Lei spent about five minutes to read it in detail.
"Jianyun, you mean that the Sword Spirit game engine's rendering algorithm has received a comprehensive technical upgrade?
The new algorithm can greatly reduce the pressure on the graphics card? "Shi Lei suppressed his excitement and asked to confirm.
Shi Lei was proficient in hacking, but he didn't know much about the professional aspects of game engines.
The Brave World was an excellent game. The biggest obstacle between it and the players was the performance bottleneck of the graphics card.
The Brave World's graphics were very clear, and it used a large screen to process the graphics.
Therefore, the entire game had high requirements for the graphics card.
Even the best graphics cards were unable to support the Hero's World.
Only the latest generation of graphics cards that supported DX10 could support the Brave World.
If players wanted to truly experience the charm of the Brave World and enjoy the fun of the motion control platform, they had to at least get their hands on a graphics processing server. Moreover, it had to be a more advanced graphics processing server to fully support the Brave World.
The price of an advanced graphics processing server was not something ordinary players could afford. Even some high-end players could not afford it.
How could ordinary players accept an advanced graphics processing server that cost more than 100,000 or even hundreds of thousands?
This reason created a huge obstacle and threshold for the promotion of the Hero's World!
Now, Zhu Jianyun had improved the game engine's algorithm and reduced the pressure on the graphics card. This was undoubtedly lowering the threshold for the Brave World. More players could enjoy the motion control mode of the Brave World.
"That's right!
Manager Shi, with the new ARM advanced rendering algorithm and Microsoft's latest DX10 framework, the Sword Spirit game engine's load on the graphics card will be reduced by at least 50%. "Zhu Jianyun explained.
"Reduce the load by more than half?" Shi Lei rubbed his chin and calculated in his mind.
In the graphics card industry, the increase in performance and price was not calculated proportionally.
Perhaps he had spent two or even three times the price, but the performance improvement was only 20% to 30%.
The most direct manifestation of the graphics card's performance was the smoothness of the game's graphics.
The so-called smoothness of the game's graphics was known as the number of game frames, or Frames Per Second, or FPS for short.
Ordinary players could understand it as the number of game images displayed every second.
Just like the number of frames in movies, movies usually had 30 frames per second. Smooth game frames were also based on 30 FPS.
The game's frame rate was below 20 FPS, so it was basically unplayable. The entire game process was like watching a slideshow, and one could not wait to smash the computer.
The game's frame rate was between 20 FPS and 30 FPS, which was barely playable. The game's graphics could be recognized by the human eye as lagging, but it was still acceptable. One could endure the unhappiness and try to entertain himself.
Once the game's frame rate was above 30 FPS, the game's graphics would be as smooth as a movie's graphics, satisfying the game's requirements.
If the game's frame rate was above 60 FPS, it would reach a level of complete smoothness.
If the game's frame rate was above 100 FPS, the game's frame rate would become meaningless.
Whether it was 120 FPS or 400 FPS, there would be no visual difference.
After understanding the use of game frame rates, using the Hero's World as an example, a high-end graphics card that supported DX9C technology could allow the Hero's World to run at 15 FPS in normal online game mode. Then, if one wanted to increase the game frame rate to 30 FPS in the Hero's World, the price of a graphics card that met the requirements might be three times or even four times the price of the current graphics card.
Using the same logic, the Sword Spirit game engine's advanced rendering algorithm could reduce the load on the graphics card by more than 50%. Then, the cost of the graphics card might be reduced by three or four times.
Imagine such a situation. Originally, the graphics processing server that required 100,000 yuan was only able to run the Brave World smoothly.
After the new Sword Spirit game engine's rendering, it only required 20,000 to 30,000 yuan of graphics processing workstations to complete the task. How awesome would that be?
Under such circumstances, more players would join the Brave World's somatosensory platform!
"Director Shi, we've already done a comprehensive test. Reducing the load by 50% is the most conservative case.
If the overall computer platform is excellent, the load on the graphics card can be reduced by about 60%! "Zhu Jianyun said confidently.
"Very good!" Shi Lei praised. "Jianyun, you've done well!"
Zhu Jianyun scratched his head and looked embarrassed. "Thank you for your praise, Director Shi."
"Hahaha, you should be praised for your achievements!"
Shi Lei clapped his hands and attracted the attention of all the employees in Shuiyun Club. He announced loudly, "I hereby announce that in view of your achievements, every member of the Shuiyun Club team will receive a bonus of 100,000 yuan this month.
The specific notice will be announced on Mirui Technology's internal website. "
"Hooray!
Hooray, Director Shi! "Li Xiaowei of Shuiyun Club cheered loudly.
Li Xiaowei was an upright citizen of Beijing. His family's conditions were not bad. After he came to Shuangqing City, his family was opposed to it.
However, when Li Xiaowei told his family about his salary, his family no longer had any objections.
This time, they received another bonus of 100,000 yuan. It was enough to satisfy all the members of Shuiyun Club.
Shi Lei looked at Zhu Jianyun and announced again, "Zhu Jianyun, the head of the Game Engine Department, has contributed to the team. He will receive an additional bonus of 200,000 yuan."
Zhu Jianyun was the soul of Shuiyun Club. Without Zhu Jianyun, there would be no Sword Spirit game engine.
Giving Zhu Jianyun more rewards alone was completely worth it!
As for rewarding all the members of the department, it was to win their affection.
They and Zhu Jianyun had been classmates and friends for four years. They had a good relationship with each other.
By winning them over, even if Zhu Jianyun wanted to jump ship, he would have to consider their opinions.
Not every company would be so friendly to the other members of Shuiyun Club.
Zhu Jianyun smiled embarrassedly. "Thank you, Director Shi."
"Jianyun, do your best. The company will not mistreat anyone who has contributed.
In the future, when the Game Engine Department expands, we will set up an independent game engine development company. You will be the person at the helm! "Shi Lei painted a big picture for Zhu Jianyun, giving him more motivation.
Zhu Jianyun was obviously very excited. "Director Shi, please rest assured. I will work hard and develop a better game engine for the company!"
"I believe in you!" Shi Lei nodded seriously.
"Alright, I won't disturb your work anymore. Work hard!"
…
After walking out of the Game Engine Department, Shi Lei went to Mu Shuang's Senior Deputy General Manager office.
Mu Shuang's official position was the Senior Deputy General Manager of Mirui Technology's Xia Xia District. Other than Mirui Technology's non-existent General Manager, Mu Shuang had the most power.
Sitting on the leather sofa in Mu Shuang's office, Shi Lei found a comfortable position and put his feet on the coffee table in front of him. His movements were not very elegant.
Mu Shuang snorted. "Shi Lei, you are a shareholder of Mirui Technology and the CEO of Dream Entertainment. Can't you show some manners?
If an outsider sees you like this, who knows what kind of unpleasant things they will say! "
"Uh, there are no outsiders here, right?" Shi Lei said with a double meaning, with a smirk on his face.
Mu Shuang's face suddenly turned red.
"Shi Lei, are you looking for trouble? What nonsense are you talking about? Who is your family!" Mu Shuang retorted in a panic.
Shi Lei looked at Mu Shuang with a faint smile. "Mu Shuang, I didn't say that we are family!"
"You!" Mu Shuang grabbed the pillow on the office chair and threw it directly at Shi Lei.
Shi Lei did not dodge, but was hit by the pillow. He deliberately pretended to be in pain and said loudly, "Ah, Your Majesty, spare me, spare me!"
Mu Shuang was a little surprised to be called "Your Majesty", but then she smiled. She seemed to be satisfied with this title.
Mu Shuang walked to Shi Lei's side, as if she was really a noble queen.
Mu Shuang pushed Shi Lei's shoulder. Shi Lei deliberately pretended to be hit and fell on the sofa.
"Your Majesty, what are you doing?"
Shi Lei pretended to be pitiful, which made Mu Shuang not know whether to laugh or cry. At the same time, she was so angry that she gritted her teeth.
She grabbed the pillow that had just been thrown at her, grabbed the two corners of the pillow with both hands, and hit Shi Lei.
"Hmph, how dare you, unruly commoner. You made me angry!"
Mu Shuang, who had a cold personality, was unexpectedly led into a role-playing game by Shi Lei. She smiled brightly.
The pillow was very soft. Even though Mu Shuang grabbed it with both hands, it did not hurt Shi Lei.
Mu Shuang laughed and played with Shi Lei crazily. Because of the angle, the pillow could only hit Shi Lei's abdomen and chest, but could not hit Shi Lei's head.
Mu Shuang rolled her eyes and leaned forward slightly. She wanted to hit Shi Lei's head with the pillow.
However, things did not go as planned. When Mu Shuang leaned forward, she accidentally lost her balance in her high heels and fell toward Shi Lei.
Shi Lei quickly opened his arms to catch Mu Shuang and let Mu Shuang fall into his arms.
Shi Lei clearly felt Mu Shuang's body tense up. Even her breathing was slightly stagnant. Her face quickly turned red, and the crimson color spread all the way to her neck.
The two of them were in close contact. Mu Shuang's body had a faint fragrance. The fragrance was very faint. It was not the smell of perfume, but of her body.
It was only her faint body fragrance that Shi Lei had not noticed before!
Shi Lei took a deep breath and said frivolously, "Mu Shuang, you smell so good!"
Coincidentally, the office door was suddenly opened at this moment. Wen Ruoyun and another woman pushed the door open and entered.
Wen Ruoyun and Mu Shuang had a very good relationship, so they often entered the office without knocking.
When Wen Ruoyun saw Mu Shuang and Shi Lei sitting on the sofa, she had a teasing look on her face. "Sorry, I seem to have come at a bad time.
You go ahead and call me when you're done.
I have something to report to President Mu. "
