Virtual Character

After sorting out the toys, the printing of the parts of the mechanical leopard is also completed.

  Take it and Xiaobai on the plane and return home in the afternoon. The next day I was thinking about the research and development of superconductors, and then I went to the company, and this time I came back to my office, sitting on the boss chair and operating the computer. Soon, light and shadow gathered in front of him into a three-dimensional projection of a middle-aged man.

  An Feng leaned on the seat and propped his chin to watch the holographic projection.

The armrest of the seat is also the operating area. With a few taps on it, the holographic character will adjust accordingly. An Feng turns on the wall screen, and the snow-white wall instantly becomes a display. The smart operating system remembers An Feng's last habit to open the character library for him.

  An Feng is selecting suitable character materials.

Obviously, he is creating a virtual character. The middle-aged man in front of him, a guy with a bit of a scholar's air, does not exist in reality. An Feng collects materials on the Internet, adds up the characteristics of various characters, and then the super The computer refines the details for him to get the current result.

  An Feng spent forty-five hours intermittently designing the characters.

   It seems a little inappropriate, as a character who can't show up, but can only appear as a hologram... Obviously he is older, and the best explanation is the inconvenience of legs and feet, but it can't stop a smart head. An Feng aged the character by touching the button.

  After changing from middle age to old age, it is indeed a lot more appropriate.

   But I still feel that something is missing... An Feng pondered: "Oh! Add a pair of glasses!"

He tapped his fingers a few times to search for the glasses in the material library. After opening the items, there were not many entries, but according to An Feng's browsing needs, the smart computer immediately started the background network download, and it would search for pictures related to glasses on the Internet. , constantly expanding the material library.

   In a few seconds, there are tens of thousands of materials.

  An Feng chose a black-frame reading glasses full of scholarly atmosphere, let the computer construct holographic graphics, and then add them to the characters after rendering.

  An Feng's voice was very lazy: "The details of the face are displayed."

   When the voice falls, the computer zooms in on the face of the character to show the details. An Feng scratched his chin, and then removed a little bit of the character's hair, leaving some baldness on the forehead, which proves that he usually uses his brains and is full of creativity... In order not to disgust himself, the character is not completely bald.

Go back to the whole body, choose a medium body shape, slightly stooped, and match him with a few sets of commonly used clothes. The white lab coat with a nameplate on the chest is very classic, while for other occasions... a black suit and tie, old-fashioned and old-fashioned, just right Old guy from the fifties.

   Staring at the video, An Feng felt that it was memorable enough.

"Record voice input." An Feng said to the air, the program was ready to record his voice, he picked up the miniature microphone, said a few phrases, the computer collected them, and he adjusted the voice change to make the target's voice a bit deep and old, and then A bit of a regional accent.

  After finishing, the target repeats An Feng's voice just now.

  It sounded like an old man from Texas who could speak Spanish, and it was impossible to tell that the voice came from An Feng.

   "Personality habits?" An Feng considered the last point, "Look for it from the movie database."

The computer screened several types, and the character is defined as a scientist with a bit of obsessive-compulsive disorder, perseverance... These characters tend to become the classic villains in American individual heroism movies: Dr. ** wearing a monocle, his eyes will turn when he conducts anti-human research. shine...

   "Haha!" An Feng laughed as a spoof, but it fit the image quite well.

In the end, according to the ideas and questions he listed, he played a serious guest role as an announcer, and input ideas about superconductors by voice, including superconducting motors, superconducting wires, superconducting magnetic fluids, and very far-sighted controllable thermonuclear reactions.

   After speaking, start to repeat the role.

  The old man from Texas, a mad scientist, is now repeating word for word with his unique accent. The theory and steps are very detailed, and An Feng also deleted some endings and idiomatic words, which are his own habits, not the youthful attitude that "Mr. L" should have.

  It is absolutely impossible for Mr. L to say hello like a "yo-man" like a black man.

  An Feng's name for the avatar is very simple - whatever you want. In addition to Mr. L, he is also constructing Ms. M, a female biologist, who is dedicated to cell biology and genetics, while Mr. L specializes in work related to superconductors, has double doctorates, and lives in seclusion.

Since the holographic technology, An Feng has been making virtual people, recording teaching voices, and converting them into their results. Of course, rigid content is definitely not acceptable. If necessary, An Feng can appear in any of these avatars and conduct remote training. educate.

  Learning experience, not being able to appear is definitely a physical inconvenience. He decided that Ms. M would simply sit in a wheelchair. She is not American. She has to speak...Spanish and simple English, but she often speaks Spanish. The status is a special overseas employee of the company, living in Spain.

An Feng's Spanish is still very good. There are many Spanish-speaking people in southern California. He often hears people speaking Spanish when walking on the streets of Los Angeles. In addition, he has a good memory, so he is naturally familiar with it. This sentence, virtualized into a female voice, sounds pretty good.

   Ms. M is only a preliminary positioning, and Anfeng is currently focusing on perfecting Mr. L's.

  Since he decided not to be an all-round scientist, these virtual humans will take his place. When there is advanced intelligence or artificial intelligence in the future, he doesn't even need to fight himself, and intelligence will take care of everything. It's quite far away, and the GP company's gang is still studying and experimenting.

Will the virtual people be exposed... An Feng thought about it when he created them. He specially read the books on computer network technology, and also humbly asked the senior technicians of GP company for advice. After consolidating the foundation, add the technology in his head, Secrecy is still in place.

   After saving Mr. L, An Feng went home.

  In the future, in the study at home, he can also use the created avatar, and go back to complete the rest.

  …

  Bill Cook is the project leader of the R&D department of the superconductor company. Since the high-temperature superconductor raised the critical temperature to minus 15 degrees Celsius, it has completely shocked the world. He was recruited at that time. The previous breakthroughs were ready to receive the Nobel Prize, and the rest continued.

   Those who develop superconductors do not necessarily know how to apply superconductors commercially. Like the fabrication of superconducting generators, this is more inclined towards industrial operation. Cook is also committed to the research and development of superconductors, focusing on the application of superconductors. If the previous company could not keep up, he would change jobs to get better.

  Cook is mainly engaged in superconducting generators, thermonuclear industry and nuclear power generation.

  Superconducting generators are smaller in size and higher in power generation. The whole world needs them. Superconducting lines also have broad prospects, ranging from long-distance power transmission to small precision circuits, such as computers. The company currently has many R&D groups, all of whom are hurrying to develop technologies.

Obviously, what superconductor companies want to develop is not only to provide superconductor raw materials, but to improve the one-stop business of superconductors and become a real world technology giant—just like GP, graphene makes them known as the world's number one high-tech Group, attracting much attention.

  Superconductor is also expected to reach the heights of GP.

Today is normal working hours, everyone is still hurrying, because once the results are produced, they will be rewarded by the company, which is linked to sales performance, and doing well means wealth and a better life, but today the R&D minister asked everyone Go to the holographic conference room.

  After being notified, Cook went to the meeting room with others.

  Minister announced in advance that the company's high-tech company hired domain experts and asked each R&D team to cooperate with the experts' ideas and concepts and do what he said.

  There was an uproar in the audience, and everyone resisted the company's decision. Why did the management think they couldn't do it?

  The minister knew this a long time ago. He said: "The company's reward amount will still not be reduced for the results you have obtained according to the guidance or cooperation."

  The mood of the masses has disappeared, but in fact, everyone is worried about getting a share of the pie.

  Superconductors have shocked the world incomparably. Every R&D personnel who can enter a superconductor company is exhausted and tried every means. Because mass production of high-temperature superconductors is realized, it means that success is close at hand.

   You only need to work hard and take one step forward, it is success.

  Under this kind of guarantee, everyone began to look forward to what kind of experts the company hired. Many people here are highly educated, with a lot of Ph.D.s and double Ph.D.s, and even have achieved little success. The experts hired by the company must convince them to cooperate.

  The holographic generator flickered, light and shadow converged, and an old guy in a white lab coat with a stooped body appeared.

  He was wearing a pair of outdated black-frame reading glasses, and his hair was slightly bald. He glanced at everyone without even saying hello, and started to talk about the manufacture of superconducting technology. Everyone despised him in his heart. What kind of expert is this? But soon, he skipped the basics in a few sentences and talked about superconducting generators.

This is exactly what Cook is good at. He listened with great doubts, but soon, he found that he couldn't keep up, and the other party's theories sounded smooth, and they seemed to be correct, and they were well resolved. He explained some of his previous questions, but unfortunately, he didn't speak carefully enough.

  He hasn't been able to savor it carefully, the superconducting power generation technology is over.

Then there are other projects, Cook observes, the faces of other people are shocked, the silence of the audience proves that the code-named "Mr. Quickly use mobile phone recording.

   In just twenty minutes or so, all the arrogant people were conquered.

It's just that the speed was too fast, and I couldn't fully understand it. Someone raised his hand and asked Mr. L to say it again, but this time the tone was very polite. It was exactly the same as when he carefully handed over the thesis to the tutor and asked for inspection...Mr. L drank a cup of coffee , looked at them very leisurely.

  While far away in SLO, An Feng watched in real time in the office.

  Mr. L spoke a little faster, and they didn't understand right away. Someone raised his hand in the back, and he switched Mr. L to his side. An Feng answered in the image of Mr. L, and explained that it was just a video, and they can read more relevant content according to the security level.

These companies all use the intelligent security system developed by GP. Higher-level users can access more content, while lower-level users can only access less important ones. Usually, background checks are required to increase the level, and the credit score must be high. Of course, the length of the contract also affects A reason for the level.

  After Mr. L finished speaking, the meeting was adjourned if there was nothing to do.

  Cook recollected the content just now, and immediately went to use his level to check it. Fortunately, what Mr. L just said was recorded, and he could review it countless times. After that, he felt that something was closer to him, and after a few more days of work, he probably could come to a conclusion.
