I Really Didn't Mean To Be The Saviour Of The World-Chapter 867 - 521: The Nobel Prize Winner Who Outsourced Work to Us_1

Chapter 867: Chapter 521: The Nobel Prize Winner Who Outsourced Work to Us_1

Harrison Clark was not surprised by everyone’s reaction.

He laughed, “Do you think I am bragging?”

People shook their heads with awkward expressions, saying that they didn’t think so.

But what they thought in their hearts was not easy to say.

Harrison Clark grinned, “Actually, you don’t need to shake your heads. If I were you, I would also think it’s a bit nonsensical. It’s just a game, but I’m talking about changing the world.”

“Ahem. No, don’t worry, boss. We really didn’t think that way. The boss is right; we should have dreams no matter what we do. Didn’t you see Ready Player One? In the future, when our hardware becomes more advanced, and network technology is more perfect, virtual reality will be fully integrated into all aspects of people’s production and life. Isn’t that changing the world? It’s impossible for the boss to spend a billion on a game to make a garbage game that just scams kids out of their money.”

...

Richey Clark, sitting in the back row, suddenly became inexplicably excited, slammed the armrest of his chair, stood up, and shouted loudly.

Everyone looked at him sideways.

They envied this simple-minded fellow for his youthfulness.

Harrison Clark looked at Richey from a distance.

At this time, the simple-minded young man still had a head of thick black hair.

But ten years later, when he would become one of the top five game planners in the industry and serve as the head of the world view planning group for the Compound Eye Crisis, his hairstyle had turned into a bald spot.

And among all the executives, this emotionally driven simpleton was the one who resigned and returned most often.

Anyway, it’s good that the emotional youngster Richey Clark was easily incited; he was perfect for making a scene today.

“Richey is right, but not precise enough. As you all know, besides being a music creator, I am also a researcher. Well, I have had some small success in the field of research.”

He said these big words with a straight face without a single heartbeat.

Although, so far, he hadn’t invented or created anything, it was an amazing achievement to have learned so much by now.

With his current knowledge level, it wouldn’t be too much of a stretch for him to earn a Ph.D. in cosmology in the ninth timeline.

It’s just that no one dared to issue academic credentials to Lord Sage.

So, “Doctor” Clark could indeed be considered a learned man.

“In not very long, the Summit Research Institute will be the first to achieve the mass production of 1-nanometer process computer chips. Within five years, the Summit Research Institute will complete the design and manufacture of large-scale biological quantum computing servers. Human computing power will reach 100 times its current level. Within 15 years, it will reach tens of thousands of times. Some of the special effects we cannot achieve now will easily enter reality.”

“For example…holographic video games or even games with retinal-grade holographic images. With the help of immersive simulation suites, the games at this time will be more than just games, and players will truly live in them. Let me ask you first, do you think these types of games could be possible?”

There was no doubt about it.

Almost everyone present believed that it was not a possibility, but an inevitability, only needing time.

Human beings are always full of expectation for technology.

Harrison Clark nodded, “Yes, so suppose it really happened. If we set up a highly immersive achievement expansion mode in the game, what do you think would happen to the players? How would the game evolve?”

It was Richey who spoke again this time.

He believed that holographic gaming was not only a manifestation of technological advancement but also posed significant risks.

“If the game can truly deliver an experience identical to the real world, supplemented by a grand worldview and various special effects, and if there is deliberate guidance from game developers to control the psychology of players, ordinary people with weaker wills could easily become addicted to it. They would only want to play the role of a hero in the game and completely ignore their real life. I remember an earlier movie that talked about this.”

Clark nodded, “Yes. But what I want to tell you is that the game I’m going to make is called Compound Eye Crisis, which is a retinal-level holographic game with a sci-fi theme that can blur the boundaries between virtual and real life! At the same time, I will also prevent the internet addiction that Richey just mentioned. You don’t need to worry about that; I have a way.”

Everyone was shocked on the spot.

They were mostly being dumbstruck.

Some people even nervously took out their phones to check the date, making sure it was 2020 and not 2220.

As professional game developers in China, they couldn’t even make a 3A game. Now the boss’s thinking went straight to the sky.

Clark then talked a lot with everyone, basically saying he was prepared not to make money and that as long as he didn’t indulge in making profits through games, the impact of Compound Eye Crisis on the world would be controllable.

Clark also told everyone not to worry about the problem of immature technology.

In order for the user side to keep up with the demands of the gaming experience, he would gradually advance the development of external technology.

Whatever was lacking in the game, the Summit Research Institute would tackle it.

Everyone was amazed.

In order to prove that he was telling the truth, Clark listed some names of research experts who had signed letters of intent with the Summit Research Institute.

Although most people present had not heard the names of these research experts, Clark would list their titles before reporting their names.

Each title Clark reported left the audience in awe.

Now everyone understood why the boss said he would invest a billion. It turned out his ace was hidden here.

So, when we created a single game, a bunch of Nobel Prize-level scholars would help us develop peripheral products?

What wouldn’t a billion dollars do?

But if counting the cost of hardware technology development, was a billion enough?

Uh?

But with the boss’s ability to make money, it seemed that multiplying the investment wouldn’t be a problem, as long as he was willing to put in the effort.

Everyone was truly stunned.

Clark’s words were more effective than the previous rhetoric about “changing the world”, instantly igniting the blood of the audience.

Clark knew when to stop and took out a plan for Compound Eye Crisis he had written himself. He then left gracefully.

In the proposal he presented, he initially set the development standard for Compound Eye Crisis at the level of an ordinary VR game, with an estimated development cycle of three years and a client size of around 100G.

He was here today to inject enthusiasm into people and to give an initial briefing on the work.

He wanted everyone to know his great expectations for Compound Eye Crisis. However, he wouldn’t reveal his true intentions from the start.

Telling these people that what they were going to make might not come out for more than a decade would instantly scare away more than half of them.

Clark had another appointment at the Starlight Studio, where he was going to personally write code and improve the core of the rendering engine, so he left in a hurry, even forgetting to say goodbye to Sophia Camp.

After Clark left, Sophia Camp and Daniel Butler chatted in his office.

Daniel was very excited, “The boss is indeed an extraordinary person.”

Sophia looked at him sweetly, “Yes, but you are not bad either.”

Some secrets are destined to rot in one’s heart.

For the next few days, Harrison Clark locked himself in his room and began writing a shocking academic paper.

He planned to present it on July 20th at a small-scale summit.

The paper was titled “Conjecture on the Relationship between Witton Black Hole, Voyager 2 Signal Anomalies and Higher-Order Civilizations.”

This paper would directly put the threat of higher-order civilizations in theoretical form before a group of smart people in advance.
