In Hollywood, there are some movies created by scientists or even personally participated in the filming, such as: "2001 Space Walk", "Apollo 13", "October Sky" and so on.

It seems that scientists are not doing their job properly when making movies, but in fact, it is not the case. It is precisely because of their participation that the world of science fiction is beautifully shot, and the stars and the sea are widely obsessed with it.

At the same time, because scientists have joined in creating and filming the movie, the story of the movie is more realistic, rather than like some domestic dramas.

Entering the new century, although there are occasional blockbusters in Chinese domestic films, these films either come from the traditional film and television industry, or are invested by some upstarts, and many stories are indulged in fictitious historical illusions and vulgar sentiments.

Chen Lidong and Wang Jiaxun said: "The reason why I want to make a movie is because I really can't stand it.

Look at some of today's directors and screenwriters, who are obsessed with old-fashioned stories about yellow robes, mandarin jackets, braids, eunuchs, gifted men, and beauties all day long. Those works exude a rotten atmosphere of old papers, without the flavor of the times and Innovative spirit.

Although there are too many restrictions in China, it is by no means a reason to make bad movies. So, if others can’t do it, I will do it.”

Wang Jiaxun looked admiring on the outside, but in his heart he still thought that this boss just had money and no place to spend it.

What he didn't know was that Chen Lidong had another unspoken plan, which was to get in touch with the world's top physicists.

How to walk in the sea of ​​stars?

At present, it is difficult to achieve this by relying solely on the plug-in of the industrial assistant system.

In Chen Lidong's view, the level of basic research in China is still limited. He hopes to attract scientists who are at the forefront of international basic research to speed up the pace of scientific research in China.

...

Not long after Chen Lidong sent Linda and Jill away, Nanchen Village welcomed another wave of guests. This group of people was somewhat mysterious. They came from the "921 Project" office.

The purpose of the visit is to use the Donghua Supercomputing Center to conduct a comprehensive launch simulation test of the "Shenzhou-5" spacecraft.

The team was led by an academician, and together with them were more than a dozen researchers and engineers from China Aerospace Group.

The academician's name is Zhang Farui, who is 70 years old. He first visited Mr. An, and then visited Chen Lidong. After meeting, he said: "Mr. An is in good health, and he is blessed to be here with you."

Chen Lidong smiled and said: "The environment here is not bad. If you want to take a rest someday, just come here."

Zhang Farui burst out laughing and said, "They say your place is a sanatorium for academicians, and it's true. It's just that there are so many bad old men here, and it's not a nice place to think about."

Chen Lidong thought that this man was interesting. His hair was half white, and he called others bad old men. Zhang Farui then said, "I can't rest yet. I'm here with a mission this time. It's convenient for you to talk here."

Chen Lidong asked Chen Tianxiong to go out and walk around, and then said: "There are several project teams doing experiments here in the Supercomputing Center. The projects are all national key scientific research projects. The shielding effect of this conference room is no problem. If the confidentiality level needs to be improved, If so, you can arrange it."

Zhang Farui said: "That's not necessary. Some information about our project cannot be disclosed for the time being, but it will be released to the public soon.

At present, the 'Shenzhou V' spacecraft and rocket have formed a whole, realizing the integration of arrow and ship.

The overall quality of the Shenzhou-V spacecraft is no problem, and the Long March 2F rocket used this time is not bad either. I still have a good foundation for this launch.

But after all, we have to send people to heaven, and there can be no mistakes.

We used our own technical means to conduct a comprehensive test of simulated launches, and the simulation test reliability index has increased to 0.97, which means that 100 launches were successful at least 97 times.

This indicator is already very good, but I am not satisfied with this result. Since there is still a probability of failure in the simulation test, the possibility of failure in the real launch is even greater.

I am not pursuing flawlessness, but this time is different from the past. I really want to carry people up. If it fails, China's aerospace industry will encounter major setbacks, which I cannot bear.

So I did the work of the company and superior leaders, and led a team to come to you, intending to use your supercomputing center to conduct another simulation test.

Chairman Chen, the country and people across the country are very concerned about this manned space flight, and I hope Donghua can do a favor and support this test, please."

At this time, Chen Lidong frowned, then shook his head and said: "General Master Zhang, I'm afraid I can't help you with this."

Zhang Farui's smile faded and he asked, "What's the problem?"

Chen Lidong explained: "Since you led the team here, you must have conducted research on the operation of our supercomputing center.

Donghua Supercomputing Center, in addition to our own scientific research projects, provides external services in two modes, one is cooperative research, and the other is fee-based.

The help you mentioned is not suitable here."

At this time, Zhang Farui's assistant, a middle-aged man named Gao Chang, said: "Chairman Chen, developing space is a national key project, and sending people into outer space has been the long-cherished wish of the Chinese people for thousands of years.

All units at all levels across the country have given us great support, so why can’t we come to you?”

Chen Lidong laughed and said: "Everyone, you should have heard that using our R&D software to build virtual scenes requires the detailed information of these devices to be included in the system, including the model, size, material, and processing technology of each component, etc.

, otherwise we cannot achieve 100% simulation.

Completing these tasks is equivalent to producing and processing test samples in a virtual scene, and the cost incurred is even more than the cost of production in reality.

For this simulation test, not counting the data for constructing space, the cost of just digitizing spacecraft and rockets is probably hundreds of millions of yuan.

If it's several million, or even tens of millions, I can help, but we can't afford the cost of hundreds of millions."

"But I heard that you once provided computing power support for the filming of a foreign film for free. You can help foreign companies, but you turned us away. Doesn't this make sense?"

The person who spoke was a female researcher. Her name on her badge was Hua Fang. She looked dignified but spoke aggressively.

Chen Lidong said helplessly: "The film is called "Empire of the Fire Dragon". We did not charge any money for the special effects production here, but they provided us with the special effects production code and core IP for free.

Oh, the core IP is the intellectual property module. For example, the shape of the fire dragon's body, limbs, wings, and tail all belong to the category of IP core.

Also, how does a dragon move? What is the state of the thousands of scales on its body when it moves? This is also the case.

Anyone who has watched that film will feel that the dragon was absolutely lifelike. Experts from Touchstone Company used digital technology to create a non-existent creature.

The fire dragon has a skin like a crocodile and a back like a python. It walks on the ground like a leopard and makes the sound of a cobra preparing to attack.

The scales are not rigid or artificial, they can lift and reflect light, and can cover and separate from each other.

These are all stored in our database. If we, Donghua Media, shoot a movie about Western Dragon in the future, we can use these data free of charge.

These are the conditions under which we allow the other party to use our supercomputing center. Therefore, the so-called "free" does not exist, or it is mutual. In the final analysis, we and the other party are in a win-win cooperation model, rather than just spending money like we are fools.

Manpower and material resources allow them to take advantage."

Hua Fang asked: "How can digital rockets and spacecraft be so expensive?"

Chen Lidong said solemnly: "It's probably a little more economical than actual production, but it won't be too different.

Did you know? The special effects of "Empire of the Fire Dragon" cost tens of millions of dollars, and the digital production cost is equivalent to more than 100 million yuan."

Hua Fang asked: "Then what do you think we should do?"

Chen Lidong smiled and said: "We can also use cooperation..."
Chapter completed!
