Chapter 479: Requiem! Embarking on the Path to the Final Throne! |
"For this purpose, our chairman has also taken personal charge, successively securing technical support from Phoenix and Aurora Games' self-developed engines..."
At the meeting, Gu Sheng said exactly that.
With Phoenix and Aurora Games joining in, the current Golden Engine had essentially achieved the pinnacle in "rendering" and "sound."
Or rather, it wasn't that "Golden Wind achieved the pinnacle," but that Golden Wind completed the "ultimate integration."
Even now, Gu Sheng still didn't understand what purpose or idea drove Little Nezha to successively establish technical partnerships with both Phoenix and Aurora Games.
Logically speaking, as a hands-off manager like Little Nezha, she shouldn't normally concern herself with matters related to game production and company technical development.
Moreover, Golden Wind's theme park was currently under construction, and Little Nezha's main focus had mostly been on the park project all along.
Given her personality, even if she suddenly felt inspired to care about the company's main business, which was the gaming business development.
At most, she would just look at new game project proposals and occasionally offer some of her wildly imaginative ideas.
After all, she didn't understand these related engine technologies anyway.
But even so!
In reality, both major technical upgrades were entirely facilitated by Little Nezha personally.
Regarding this, Gu Sheng's explanation was—
[Everything is the guidance of "fate."]
From when he first met Little Nezha.
Golden Wind's initial establishment, the release of their first game, receiving the Supernova title.
To cooperating then breaking with Komera, competing with CloudPower and directly confronting the Vivendi Group, being forced onto the path of self-research due to engine technology blockades.
As a transmigrator, his life was destined to meet Shen Miaomiao and thus walk the same path together.
This wasn't "Gu Sheng's Bizarre Adventure" with a system.
The protagonist wasn't just him alone, but the secretly predetermined "Labacus Garlic's Bizarre Adventure."
Gu Sheng even vaguely sensed.
Even if four years ago, he hadn't worn that Mickey hoodie, using the abstract-styled "Cat Mario" as his interview work, stepping into this "Golden Wind First Conference Room" where he now stood.
Then fate would have secretly guided him to meet Shen Miaomiao at some accidental time.
Like countless parallel worldlines converging, no matter how the worldlines developed, they would eventually intersect at some point one day.
You could call this the "fate" of "love."
But compared to this lovestruck explanation, Gu Sheng preferred to call it the "choice" of "destiny."
Because he could even faintly sense.
Even if their genders were reversed—he was a rookie female designer girl, while Shen Miaomiao was a silver-spoon-born rich second-generation young master—
the two of them would still inevitably come together.
And this situation equally applied to them becoming blood brothers, becoming best girlfriends, or... becoming the same Walmart shopping bag.
That was the inevitability of souls under fate's guidance.
But why exactly did such a connection form?
Gu Sheng didn't know, and couldn't figure it out.
Their meeting was fate's guidance.
And the current Golden City was perhaps the final destination guided by fate.
Perhaps in that final destination, he and Shen Miaomiao, these companions chosen by fate, would ultimately achieve complete openness with each other.
And what he needed to do now was strive forward toward Golden City, ascending the throne as the King of Games.
Once again, thank you Konik.
After you die, I will properly nail you to the most prominent place in Golden City, "thanking" you for the hatred and malice that opened the divine ascension staircase for me.
"Physics Engine!"
"Artificial Intelligence!"
"Rendering Engine!"
"Sound Engine!"
Under the gaze of all Golden Wind's executive managers, Gu Sheng stood up, sketching out the four major modules under the Golden Wind engine framework on the whiteboard behind him.
"Currently, among these four major modules, we already occupy the forefront of the global gaming industry,"
Gu Sheng said:
"The Physics Engine was originally our Golden Engine's most proud technology when first launched, we pioneered the precedent, and will inevitably lead the flagship of development,"
"As for Artificial Intelligence, this has been technology that Golden Wind has continuously progressed and researched since our establishment, as early as the 'Titanfall' period, our AI has always been far ahead in the industry."
Then.
Gu Sheng turned his focus to the next two major modules:
"And Rendering and Sound, these two areas where we partnered with Phoenix and Aurora Games, achieving cooperation with both companies through industry alliances, also obtaining cutting-edge technology, so finally—"
As he spoke!
They saw Gu Sheng's hand slide down slightly, finally stopping the marker on the bottom three technologies—
"Reality Enhancement!"
This technology module mainly enhances the refinement of motion-sensing game feedback, further strengthening players' immersion, and granting players perception beyond reality in certain game scenarios.
For example, in pitch-black horror games, enhancing players' hearing and smell, ensuring they don't miss any creepy details.
"Network Interconnection Framework!"
This technology module mainly enhances network interconnection and information transmission efficiency.
You must understand, the essence of network interconnection is information flow transmission, and compared to conventional PC and other platform games, motion-sensing pod games carry more motion-sensing data and feedback, requiring greater network interconnection framework stability and capacity.
"And—Input and Output Engine!"
The so-called input and output, conventionally refers to modules processing user command inputs, like controllers, joysticks, keyboard mice simulating steering wheels, etc., and handling feedback output to displays, audio equipment, and controller receivers.
It sounds like a not particularly high-tech module, even relatively simple.
But don't forget.
This is for motion-sensing pods.
Motion-sensing pod input and output are all connected to brain neural signals.
And as the module most directly contacted by players, it's also the "starting point" and "ending point" of motion-sensing game presentation.
If this aspect isn't done well, or even has omissions and mistakes.
Then at best it severely damages players' gaming experience, at worst it endangers motion-sensing pod users' lives.
This is not a seemingly extremely simple module.
Quite the opposite, this is the crucial element where "one wrong move loses the whole game"!
"These three items are our still incomplete modules,"
"We're still using the most compatible mediocre mid-range technology,"
"And this will also be our top priority for full-speed sprint going forward!"
After speaking!
Everyone looked again!
The situation was already very clear.
Under the Golden Engine framework, all seven major engine modules were now fully displayed.
[Physics Engine: Golden Wind]
[Artificial Intelligence: Golden Wind]
[Visual Rendering: Phoenix]
[Sound Engine: Aurora Games]
[Reality Enhancement: Pending]
[Network Interconnection: Pending]
[Input/Output: Pending]
In the coming time, they needed to continuously improve these three technologies that still had small bucket performance.
Once all seven engine modules reached peak perfection.
The [Golden City] project would launch.
Then, an unprecedented super gaming kingdom would emerge with eternal excellence scale, in the most dazzling form, becoming the industry's most indispensable hub, without equal.
"And to achieve this goal,"
After explaining everything, Gu Sheng placed both hands on the table, leaning forward slightly, his voice calm yet firm:
"We need even higher fighting spirit, continuously expanding our influence, stirring industry winds and clouds, becoming the most enduring and shining star in the gaming industry!"
Since when exactly, Gu Sheng no longer knew.
Perhaps since he stepped into the "Supernova" title, "Golden Wind's era" seemed to always be on players' and media's lips.
But from beginning to end, he never believed "Golden Wind's era" had truly begun.
The start of an era means a qualitative change sufficient to reverse the landscape.
Although before this, they pioneered multiple gaming industry concepts like "second-generation FPS" "psychological horror" "cinematic games" "Wolf-type games" "sandbox games."
But they never reversed their essence of being suppressed by Vivendi, carefully gaming against the Vivendi-affiliated group led by CloudPower.
The gaming circle remained Vivendi's gaming circle where they held absolute power.
And all their previous accumulation, whether "works" "technology" "reputation," or "status" "scale" "influence," all remained in quantitative change.
Even the creation of the "Golden Engine" was, for their Golden Wind, just a key turning point within quantitative change.
Until now.
With the "Sound Engine" industry alliance achieved.
Within the Golden Engine framework, they now mastered four of the seven engine modules, over half.
Quantitative change finally triggered qualitative change.
Perhaps it lacked overwhelming media marketing, perhaps it lacked industry-wide discussion heat.
But Gu Sheng could clearly perceive that the quantitative change critical point had arrived.
All their experience accumulation, all their concept innovations, all their work reputation, all their technological advancements...
All at this moment, through accumulation, underwent qualitative change.
Like a stand pierced by the arrow, becoming a requiem, evolving into another extraordinary form.
Gu Sheng vaguely felt that within this, there also seemed to be Shen Miaomiao's influence.
But because the feeling was too vague, he couldn't determine what Shen Miaomiao's qualitative change exactly meant.
However.
Although unclear what secrets his fiancée had, why she became his fate-guided companion, nor what kind of "qualitative change" she underwent.
But undoubtedly, qualitative change had now occurred.
Just as he said before—[The start of an era means a qualitative change sufficient to reverse the landscape]
Having mastered four major engine modules, they now possessed the ability sufficient to reverse the landscape.
The gaming era named "Golden Wind" truly began at this moment.
And next, they would use Illusion Engine as sacrifice, demonstrating the appearance of the world's strongest engine today.
Simultaneously, silently declaring to CloudPower and even the entire Vivendi faction—
From this moment on, the overall situation reverses.
The era of technological suppression has passed.
Under the attack of Golden Requiem, you will never reach the "true reality of dominating the gaming circle."
Checkmate.
Gu Sheng pushed a piece onto the chessboard—
"Rainbow Six: Siege"
