An Expert Is actually By My Side

　　 Wednesday morning.

　　 A van stopped at the door of Yunmeng Technology.

　　 Yang Yuan, who came all the way from Shanghai with the photographer and interview equipment, jumped out of the car. Looking at the research institute located at the corner of the high-tech park, an unexpected expression appeared in his eyes.

When most people think of Yunmeng Group, they mostly think of the Yunmeng Building located on the river’s edge. Few people will remember this Internet company and such a low-key and mysterious research institute, hidden in the east of Jiangcheng. Corner of the high-tech park.

　　 "Is this the research institute of Yunmeng Technology?"

　　 got out of the car behind him, Wang Hongsheng wiped the sweat from his forehead and said.

　　 "Yes, and I heard that the research is still the popular brain-computer interface technology."

　　 Yang Yuan nodded thoughtfully, picked up the camera hanging around his neck, and took a picture of Yuanjing at the entrance of the institute and the main building, intending to keep it back as material.

　　 At this moment, he suddenly noticed a familiar face standing at the entrance of the institute.

　　 recognized the person's identity at a glance, Yang Yuan put a smile on his face, put down the camera in his hand, stretched out his right hand from a long distance, and walked towards the person.

　　 "Hello! I am Yang Yuan, the editor-in-chief of Renlian Information Industry News! Thank you Mr. Hao for taking the time out of his busy schedule to accept our interview."

　　 shook the hand of the editor-in-chief Yang, Hao Yun smiled friendly and said.

　　 "Editor-in-chief is Yang, who came all the way from Shanghai. It must have been a hard journey."

　　 Yang Yuan said with a hearty smile.

　　 "Where is the business, we are in this business, and we have long been accustomed to this rhythm of life."

　　 Have a greeting.

A group of 　　 newspapers followed Hao Yun, walked into the mysterious brain-computer interface research institute, and came to a computer room deep in the corridor on the first floor.

　　 "Is this the server room of World of Warcraft?" Looking at the rows of blade-shaped cases displayed on the server racks, Yang Yuan's face was surprised.

　　 "Yes." Hao Yun nodded, cast his eyes on the server in front of him, smiled and continued, "The world of Azeroth is here, and there are currently 60,000 players playing games on the server."

　　 "Unbelievable, 60,000 players actually need so many servers." Yang Yuan couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

　　 "Of course, these servers are not just for the 60,000 players, but for the artificial intelligence systems running on the servers."

　　 "Artificial intelligence system?"

　　 "That's right," Hao Yun nodded as he looked at Yang Yuan with surprise on his face, and continued, ""

"I seemed to forget to explain that the world of Azeroth that players see now is not entirely designed by the staff of our World of Warcraft project team. Compared with the content of the game, our staff The biggest role played is actually in designing the framework of the entire game."

　　 The look on Yang Yuan's face moved slightly.

　　 "You mean...World of Warcraft is done by AI and human collaboration? And those tasks and NPCs are AI masterpieces?"

　　 Hao Yun nodded.

"Yes it is."

　　 "And not only that. So far, all interactions between NPCs and players in the game, and even the operation of the game world itself, are maintained by the artificial intelligence systems running on these servers."

　　 There was silence in the computer room for a while, only the whine of the chassis was heard.

　　 After a while, Yang Yuan recovered from the surprise, but the incredible expression on his face remained unchanged.

　　The throat moved, and he struggled to squeeze a word from his throat.

"how can that be."

　　A game designed and operated by AI?

how can that be!

　　 Although this is technically not impossible, but this kind of thing happened in a popular game, it is beyond his imagination.

　　 is like AI writing.

　　 If you can write, you can write, and you can also achieve basic logic and sentences. However, it is basically impossible to write a classic or a best-seller.

　　The reason is very simple. AI is AI after all. Although it can imitate human behavior, it cannot have human feelings. The core reason why a best-selling work sells is to resonate spiritually with readers.

　　 No matter which area of ​​the spirit this resonance occurs...

　　 But at least it has to exist!

　　 To put it bluntly, how can an AI without emotions understand the human spiritual world.

　　 Yang Yuan could not believe that this is what the current artificial intelligence technology can do.

　　 Hao Yun didn’t know how to explain the matter to him. He couldn’t say that he pulled a card from the system and plugged it into the server chassis, and it became what it is now, right?

　　Although this is true and true...

　　 With a light cough, Hao Yun said.

"I know it’s hard for you to accept it, but it’s true. Of course, if you say so, I’m afraid you won’t believe it. So on this point, I still recommend that you download the World of Warcraft client after you go back and log in. Feel the game for yourself."

"I will feel it." Yang Yuan nodded, looked at the servers in front of him, and said with a sigh, "But to be honest, if the AI ​​technology you design is really so amazing, I understand it a little bit. Why do you obviously have already set up so many servers, and you still have to build some kind of supercomputer center."

　　The smarter the program, the more it needs a huge amount of computing power as support.

　　 Yang Yuan couldn't figure out what kind of intelligent system this is, but for the computing power that this system needs to consume, I am afraid that only super-computing-level hardware can satisfy its appetite.

　　 just...

　　 He really can't imagine, why is this necessary?

　　 Before coming here, he had learned more about the company Yunmeng Group. From raising pigs to sharing bicycles to hotels to games, even movies and toys, this company has almost done all the profitable business.

　　 If it’s just to make money, is it really necessary to do that?

　　From the perspective of return on assets alone, this game does not say that it is compared with clan conflicts, love and producers, even if it is too far behind its own "ancestor" Warcraft.

　　 As if seeing through the doubts on his face, Hao Yun paused for a moment and continued.

"Your speculation is correct. In fact, even with super-computing hardware, we do not have absolute confidence that we can always satisfy its growing appetite. With the operation of the game, theoretically it will become more and more intelligent. High, until the final player can no longer tell who is the player in the game and who is the NPC-if we don’t specify it.

　　 "This sounds interesting... but is it really necessary to do this for a game?"

　　 "On the surface, this is really a fuss, but in fact, about this artificial intelligence system...we are not actually designed for World of Warcraft.

　　 "...Is that for?"

　　 Looking at Yang Yuan with a surprised look, Hao Yun continued.

　　 "This involves a key project that our Brain-Computer Interface Institute is studying."

　　 Yang Yuan asked quickly.

　　 "Is it convenient to disclose?"

"There is nothing inconvenient. They were originally public things," Hao Yun smiled faintly, and continued, "It is not a simple plug to complete the connection between the mind and the Internet. Except for the brain. In addition to the computer interface itself, we are also studying how to connect our consciousness directly with the digital world."

　　 Yang Yuan opened his mouth and said.

　　"...This sounds a bit like a pediatric science fiction movie~www.ltnovel.com~ Hao Yun joked.

　　 "For us 50 years ago, isn't everything that we have now that only appeared in science fiction movies? Someone has to take this step, or what use is it for me to make so much money?"

　　 In fact, this is not Hao Yun Versailles, but rather his truest thoughts at the moment.

　　 If it's just for money, he has already made money that he can't spend his entire life. As for fame, his own interest is not great, on the contrary, he is too famous now, which makes him feel very uncomfortable when he is accustomed to making a fortune.

　　 was just a casual answer, and failed to answer all the doubts in Yang Yuan's mind.

　　 "So...what is the relationship between that neurological network and the intelligent system running on the World of Warcraft server?"

　　 "Of course it matters."

　　 Looking at Yang Yuan, whose face is still full of confusion, Hao Yunyan said concisely.

　　 "The intelligent system running on the World of Warcraft server is actually the same thing as the core system of the neurological network we are studying."

"Or--"

　　 "The former is the prototype of the latter!"
