"Black Myth Wukong" "Soaring Clouds and Fog"

  On August 20, the domestic 3A (high cost, high quality, high volume) stand-alone machine"Black Myth: Wukong" (hereinafter referred to as "Wukong") officially launched and quickly detonated public opinion. 3 days, sales have exceeded 10 million copies.

  The agency forecasts that the final sales of "Wukong" will reach 20 million copies, and the final sales will exceed 6 billion yuan. Industry insiders said that the success of "Wukong" will bring new changes to the Chinese market structure.

  Domestic 3A stand-alone game milestone

  "I thought it would be very popular, but I didn’t expect it to be so popular," said a senior game practitioner. At the end of 2023, at the TGA annual conference known as the "Oscars" of the global game industry, "Wukong" won the attention of the world: against the international top masterpieces, officially set on August 20, 2024.

  As of 9 pm on August 23, the total sales of "Wukong" exceeded 10 million copies, and the sales were nearly 3 billion yuan. For the explosion of "Wukong", industry insiders believe that this will bring new changes to the domestic game market.

  The most obvious change is in the domestic console game market. Compared with the mobile game market, which has long exceeded 100 billion yuan in scale, console games are much inferior. In the first half of this year, the total sales of the domestic console game market were less than 700 million yuan. The sales of "Wukong" in just three days are four times that.

  Industry insiders admit that the development of domestic stand-alone games is facing many challenges. "The popularity rate of host devices is low, and the public is more accustomed to short and fast mobile games, and there is almost no whole time to experience stand-alone games."

  In fact, the sales of "Wukong" proved that it far exceeded the concept of "hot game" in the traditional sense. With the popularity of "Wukong", console game stores around the world ushered in a rare "hot-selling frenzy". ShanghaiThe owner of the console game store revealed that sales have increased sharply in recent weeks. "I’m really too busy, so we temporarily hired two helpers."

  "This game cannot immediately change the ecology of the domestic game industry, but it may indeed bring some turnaround," said the head of a game manufacturer in Shanghai. "If one day, under the catalysis of a series of popular games, game consoles can develop in China, then the ecology of 3A games can be formed."

  Game meets science

  As the "crown jewel" of the game industry, the landing of 3A games not only means that the domestic game industry is becoming more mature, but also shows that the development idea of "technology + art" is being recognized by more practitioners.

  Behind the 3A game is not only the investment of hundreds of millions of dollars, but also the construction of a highly complex game industry production pipeline and the cultivation of talents.

  The game producer bluntly said that the difficulty of making domestic 3A games is very high: "Many processes are the first time to explore, and the whole body is affected. Take cutscenes as an example, not only the film scheduling and command, but also the 3D modeling."

  For example, a map 3D modeler at a Shanghai-based game company said: "There are a lot of models on a map, and there are potential interaction designs. If you fine-tune the terrain, you have to overturn and redo it."

  The "technology content" of "Wukong" is very high. For example, one industry insider said, the special effects shot of the brush writing in the cutscene, "the brush interacts with the paper when writing, and the binding requirements of the model bones are extremely high. In addition, the ink follows the trajectory from deep to shallow, which is’the technology that can ** text ‘."

  "Although it is still far from the international top level, it at least gives us hope." Game reviewer Lao Dai believes that under the current technology, the completion of "Wukong" is high enough.

  In recent years, more and more domestic game companies have begun to pay attention to the investment and application of technology in games. Liu Wei, chairperson of miHoYo, summed up the company’s development positioning as "science and technology innovation + merchandise". Ma Xiaoyi, senior vice-president of Tencent Group, bluntly said: "Games are not an isolated development industry. Since its birth, it has always been mutually driven and symbiotic with cutting-edge technology." CEO Ding Lei has repeatedly emphasized the importance of scientific research investment, and has disclosed the intensity of R & D investment for several consecutive quarters.

  The "Research Report on Game Technology Capability and Technology Value" released by the Game Working Committee of the China Audio and Digital Association shows that 81% of respondents believe that games have promoted the development of AI technology; 91.4% of respondents believe that some technological innovations in the game field have a certain role in promoting the physical field.

  The Business Inspiration of "Wukong"

  In addition to the hustle and bustle, from a commercial perspective, the popularity of "Wukong" is accidental and irreproducible.

  "A stand-alone game is not a good business model," a senior game analyst admitted that betting all your money to develop a 3A game is too risky.

  In fact, the "risk-return mismatch" of console games has left some console game makers on thin ice. Take CD Projekt, a well-known Polish game manufacturer, as an example. Its "Witcher" series once made a lot of money, but when "Cyberpunk 2077" was first launched, the game had a poor reputation due to bugs, and the company was once facing huge losses. The game also suffered a single-player development error, resulting in a single-year loss of hundreds of millions of yuan.

  Of course, the success of "Wukong" provides two lessons for the industry.

  First of all, we need to deepen the "single-point breakthrough" innovation and make good use of "addition and subtraction". In addition to the story and graphics, "Wukong" actually draws a lot from the operation mechanisms of mature games in terms of action combat, such as "Shock Knife", "Energy Storage Chute" and "Skill Plus", and simplifies them. This idea will undoubtedly greatly reduce the threshold for player operation and expand the player group.

  Industry insiders believe that when making AAA games, innovation should be based on one point, and mature experience should be borrowed as much as possible in other aspects. In fact, the success of another domestic game, "Yuan God", also lies in this: the game borrows from the Nintendo game "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" in the early big world gameplay, while focusing on "mobile" innovation.

  "It’s not good to be innovative everywhere. You have to learn to stand on the shoulders of your predecessors," said one market analyst.

  Secondly, capital is essential. 3A game development costs are high, the development cycle is long, and it consumes a lot of resources, which requires a lot of capital. From a global perspective, except for some established 3A game manufacturers, almost all 3A game studios have the support of hardware manufacturers, such as,From a domestic perspective, Tencent and NetEase are the largest "top gifters" in the industry.

  "A successful AAA game requires not only capital, but also mature production line experience, publicity and distribution resources. It is impossible for a small team to cover everything, and it needs the support of large capital." A game industry analyst at a brokerage said.

  Industry insiders believe that the success of "Wukong" will allow domestic leading game manufacturers to provide more support to small teams with strong technical strength. If the small team can obtain as much capital and resources as possible while maintaining their own independence, it will undoubtedly provide more guarantees for the success of the project.

Liu Yifei suffers from cervical dislocation in filming, ignores right and wrong, and never uses her mobile phone

  


  When Liu Yifei sat in front of me, seeing her face and her appearance, I couldn’t help but think that she was born to eat this bowl of rice. Of course, she also has undeniable luck. But because of this, any effort and dedication she makes will be easily covered by this lucky aura. So signing William Morris to Hollywood is not only a sign that Liu Yifei’s star road has opened beyond the country’s gates, but also a moment when this 20-year-old girl believes that she can really prove herself by strength. It is conceivable that from this day on, Liu Yifei’s every step will be more visible to the public. The miracle of the Chinese actress ten years ago belongs to Gong Li. The miracle of the Chinese actress in this decade belongs to Zhang Ziyi. Can it become the miracle of the next ten years? We are waiting for Liu Yifei to prove it.


  Was she just lucky? No!


  Southern Metropolis Daily (hereinafter referred to as "Nandu"): Do you feel that you have suffered?


  Liu Yifei: I think I am a very hard-working person. In filming "Divine Condor", Xiaoming and I didn’t live an ordinary life, but a superhuman life. We couldn’t sleep a lot of the time. After filming Group A and Group B, I continued to rotate. My cervical vertebrae are now dislocated. I just soaked in a few degrees of water and immediately rode horses, martial arts, and got injured. I spent two months soaking in the mud pond. I was about to live this superhuman life when I was fifteen or sixteen years old, but I didn’t complain because I liked it very much. When you see me, you will think that I am very well cared for and smooth, but I want to tell you that I am indeed very durable and strong in this regard.


  Nandu: But did your family still help you a lot?


  Liu Yifei: Yes, let me have a choice.


  Nandu: In the past five years, when were you the most unhappy?


  Liu Yifei: This question is too big… Others think my luck is too outrageous, so they feel comfortable talking about me like this today and saying it like that tomorrow (wry smile). I encountered two negative things when I was growing up. One was a very direct criticism. Yes, I had to face my own "hard injury" – I was filming at the age of 15, and I shot heavyweight plays. There was no process for me to accumulate, and there was no process for me to hide. My growth experience was suddenly exposed in front of everyone, so it is normal for everyone to see my shortcomings. People will ask why you have such a good opportunity? This is normal, I understand these people very well. But I’m also confident, and I know what I have to do is not let down the people who choose me, so that I will eventually be recognized.


  On the other hand, what I have to face is nonsense and malice. If I am unhappy or upset about this kind of thing, I will only hurt myself. I know in my heart that the Liu Yifei they are talking about is not me! I am very open-minded, and soon forget those unfair remarks. In the end, the facts will prove that they are all bubbles.


  Nandu: Who helped you the most when you made decisions? Dad?


  Liu Yifei: The real decision is for me to make. No one can help me make the decision, and no one forces me to make it even if I don’t like it.


  Nandu: Have you ever thought that one day, when you grow up, you will reject their arrangement?


  Liu Yifei: In fact, they didn’t arrange anything for me. In terms of work, they are all benign discussions. I am a person who listens to advice. As long as adults treat me in a benign way, I especially listen to advice.


  Nandu: Beautiful actresses often pretend to be ugly to prove their acting skills. Some people will think that your family is very rich and talented to get to this day. Have you ever thought about proving yourself by being poor or something else?


  Liu Yifei: No need, because the reality is that no one can achieve anything without strength and only rely on one-sided things. In the past few years of my debut, I have made due progress, and more and more, faster and faster to a higher platform. When people go to a higher platform, they can see more clearly whether they are because of hard work or so-called luck. But I still don’t think the economic strength of the family is the most important. Although this is always a topic that everyone talks about, it is actually outdated and has passed the shelf life. Now I am very happy to see a group of people who really like me because of my performance. No successful actor can’t stand the scrutiny in the end. If you want more fans to like you, it is inseparable from personal charm and characteristics. The inside and the outside are inseparable. I have come to this day, and it is impossible to have the outside without the inside.

When the body control system has a sense of autonomy, a comprehensive analysis of BYD Yunqi

ChatGPT was born, which triggered a global hot discussion and thinking. In just a few weeks, people both lamented the rapid development of artificial intelligence and were shocked by the great changes brought by new technologies to life and production, as if suddenly, computers really had self-awareness.

Artificial intelligence, as a substitute for human labor force, is only the tip of the iceberg. What kind of changes can be imagined when ChatGPT is applied to the automobile field? At present, technology has developed to pre-process the influence of each terrain and road condition on the car body, so as to adjust the suspension in advance to improve comfort, handling and safety, but most of them are limited to high-end models of luxury brands and have not been systematically popularized. However, with the release of BYD Yunqi Intelligent Body Control System on April 10th, this situation will be completely changed. From passive suspension to active suspension to intelligent body control, the awareness of body is awakening.

First, create the highest level of global body control system. 

BYD Yunqi System is the industry’s first exclusive intelligent body control system for new energy. The full name of Yunqi is Yunqi intelligent adaptive body control system, which is an intelligent body control system developed by BYD for five years and costing billions of dollars. Including Yunqi -C intelligent damping body control system, Yunqi -A intelligent air body control system, Yunqi -P intelligent hydraulic body control system and unlimited Yunqi -X control system.

Yunqi represents the highest level of the global body control system, which brings subversive improvement to new energy vehicles of BYD Auto’s brands, covering different use scenarios such as home, sports, administration and off-road, and creating an all-round and luxurious driving experience for users. When the new energy vehicle has no traditional engine and gearbox, the impact of chassis technology on the driving experience of the whole vehicle will be further amplified, so the brand of electric vehicle has higher and higher requirements for chassis and suspension. Independent research and development is costly and time-consuming, and it is usually unbearable for brands with poor product matrix, which leads most car companies to choose outsourcing chassis technology, which is easily affected by technical bottlenecks and soaring costs.

Second, from perception to decision-making to implementation, break the monopoly of foreign car companies in one fell swoop.

Electrification has brought about the transformation of the whole vehicle architecture, and the vehicle control has changed from mechanical control to electrical signal control, and the accuracy, efficiency and intelligence have been greatly improved. The body control system, which integrates software and hardware technologies such as perception, decision-making, control and interaction, can not only surpass the past, but also provide rich car scenes. This is the intelligent body control system of Yunqi, and the following three levels are the core of Yunqi technology.

Perception is the premise of cloud chariot.

The first key problem of Yunqi is road perception technology, which is the first step to realize intelligent body control. The preview system deeply integrates multiple road surface sensing elements such as monocular/binocular cameras and laser radar to identify road surface features and elevation curves within the range of 5-150m in front of the vehicle, and the recognition accuracy is as high as 3 mm, and the recognition accuracy is over 99% within 15m. It not only realizes the functions of road surface recognition and all-terrain monitoring, but also can quickly adjust and adapt with the suspension system.

Accurate decision-making is the key to Yunqi.

After mastering the core technologies such as software architecture, strategy formulation, algorithm design, etc., BYD’s self-developed Yunqi Intelligent Computing Center has multi-core and efficient processing capability, supports multi-signal interfaces, and can drive various actuators. Through cloud computing, it can process information such as road state, body posture and wheel load, and output the best control strategy in real time.

Take high-speed cornering as an example. Usually, the center of gravity of the vehicle will tilt to the inside of the corner, thus reducing the comfort and handling performance. Yunbi can automatically adjust the suspension located inside the corner, reduce the movement frequency by increasing damping, and achieve the purpose of hardening the suspension. From the completion of road preview, to intelligent decision-making and implementation, Yunqi Supercomputing Center has realized highly centralized integrated control.

Efficient execution is the guarantee of Yunqi.

For the implementation level of Yunqi, BYD independently developed and controlled the whole process through structural design, performance simulation, test methods and other aspects, and combined with the full-stack self-research of system software, it can achieve the perfect adaptation effect of suspension software and hardware. Yunqi intelligent adaptive body control system achieves millisecond response adjustment from the state identification of sensing parts, to the information processing decision of Yunqi Supercomputing Center, and then to the control execution of the whole vehicle.

In addition, users can also control the suspension height and damping mode through the voice control or manual adjustment interface at the APP end of the mobile phone and the Pad end of the vehicle, thus gaining more fun.

Third, "devolve" luxury and make "value" upward.

Next, we interpret Yunqi -C, Yunqi -A and Yunqi -P respectively to see what contribution they have made to chassis awareness.

Yunnian -C intelligent damping body control system-popularization of technology, entering the homes of ordinary people.

Yunqi -C is the first active suspension product in China to realize full-stack self-research in system design, calculation, modeling, simulation, matching and adjustment. The system architecture includes key components such as perception component, decision component and execution component. The suspension system of Yunqi -C can actively control the electronically controlled shock absorber according to the road condition information, and the damping can be adjusted steplessly, which mainly serves the comfort and sports modes.

When the vehicle passes through the bumpy road, the comfort control strategy of high frequency and small damping is adopted to make the chassis "soft", which can effectively buffer the road excitation input and quickly restrain the vertical movement of the car body. Under the condition of 60km/h continuous vibration road surface, Yunqi -C can help the whole vehicle achieve 96% vibration isolation rate, which greatly improves the comfort compared with the traditional suspension. The roll speed of 100km/h double lane can also be reduced by 39.7%.

Yunqi -C is mainly used to improve daily driving comfort and handling performance, such as body pitch, corner roll and steering angle at medium and high speed, etc. This is a popular version of product matrix. At present, more than 80,000 vehicles have been loaded on BYD Han EV, Tang and Tengshi D9, and the product experience has been well received by the market. Later, it was officially upgraded to Yunqi -C through OTA software.

Yunnian -A Intelligent Air Body Control System-Breaking the monopoly, luxury and comfort are no longer far away. 

Yunqi -A intelligent air body control system is the first suspension product in the world to realize full-stack self-research in system design and calculation, simulation selection, function and strategy development, software algorithm development and integration, matching and adjustment technology and key parts design. The system architecture includes sensing, decision-making, execution components, and key components such as adjustment part. Its biggest highlight lies in the high integration of three adaptive adjustments of suspension height, spring stiffness and damping hardness with the adaptive adjustment function of dynamic embracing seat, which is of pioneering significance in the industry.

The total lifting stroke of Yunqi -A can reach up to 150mm, which can restrain the acceleration of the car body and brake pitching by more than 25%, and provide two modes of manual and automatic adjustment. In addition, the suspension height is adjusted adaptively with the change of vehicle speed.

BYD also creatively integrated the self-adaptive adjustment function of the dynamic embracing seat into Yunnian-A. In order to suppress the inertia deviation caused by the roll of the vehicle when cornering at high speed, the dynamic embracing seat provides airbag support at the waist of the seat, so that the user can maintain a good driving posture and ensure the safety and comfort of high-speed driving. According to the news of the press conference, Yunnian -A will be the first to ride on Tengshi N7.

Yunnian -P intelligent hydraulic body control system-the world’s first new energy, providing a strong off-road gas field.

Yunqi -P is the world’s first new energy exclusive intelligent hydraulic body control system developed by BYD. It efficiently integrates three core subsystems, namely mechanical, hydraulic and electronic control. The system architecture includes sensing components, decision-making components and more complex execution components. It has the functions of one-button leveling, single-wheel lifting, four-wheel linkage, simultaneous adjustment of height, stiffness and damping. The working environment covers -40℃ to 85℃, with an altitude of 6000m, which is suitable for extreme and harsh environments such as high temperature, cold, high humidity and high corrosion.

The biggest difference between Yunqi -C and Yunqi -A is that Yunqi -P can stably bear the sprung load weighing up to 5 tons. It is an intelligent hydraulic body control system with the maximum load-bearing capacity for new energy passenger cars among the active suspension products released in the industry. In addition, Yunqi -P has a wide range of suspension height active adjustment and four-wheel linkage capabilities. The total adjustment stroke of the front suspension and the rear suspension is 200 mm. When facing off-road scenes such as bullet holes and cross shafts, all four wheels can touch the ground as much as possible to provide sufficient tire grip and balance. And when camping on uneven ground, the four-wheel suspension can be lifted independently to keep the car body level.

As BYD’s first million-class luxury car, I hope U8 will not only surpass the predecessors of traditional SUVs, but also bring the safety, comfort and intelligence of intelligent chassis, and also bring the luxurious and comfortable feeling of integrating technology, new energy and new platform, covering all kinds of car scenes such as transportation, off-road, leisure and business.

To sum up, three different intelligent car body control systems actually correspond to three different consumption and car use scenarios, and the significance of cost performance and popularization brought by Cloud -C; Yunqi -A Active Road Perception and Advanced Air Suspension: Yunqi -P’s cross-era off-road innovation makes users feel the significance of intelligent body awakening from different levels of high school, middle school and low school.

Fourth, the autonomy of production equipment to software and hardware is the core of cloud technology.

From the perspective of global automotive technology, in addition to Rolls-Royce, there are three intelligent body control systems familiar to domestic consumers, namely, the magic body control system applied by Mercedes-Benz in GLE, the magic carpet intelligent air suspension of BMW 7 Series and Audi A8L active suspension technology.

BYD’s cloud technology not only fills the last short board on the traditional chassis, but also combines the pre-control with the wire-controlled chassis, creating a new integrated technology of vertical integration and realizing the straight-line overtaking of traditional car companies and new forces.

The core components of Yunqi released by BYD this time, such as compressors, distribution valves, testing instruments and so on, are all developed and produced by BYD, and the product matrix is subdivided into Yunpan -C, Yunqi -A and Yunqi -P, which comprehensively covers all civilian use scenarios to correspond to different models and consumer demands respectively. This chess game can be said to make opponents dream of it.

Five, R&D investment broke 20 billion, BYD technology is king.

Although the active body control system is not new, the whole technology of Yunqi is self-developed by BYD, which not only gets rid of the dependence of domestic brands on parts suppliers, but also realizes the independence of core technologies, which is the most admirable place. Especially when this system is endowed with perception layer and decision-making layer, the "self-awakening" suspension will bring us unprecedented experience and fun.

In order to increase its core competitiveness, BYD has made great efforts in technical input and output in recent years. In 2022, the accumulated R&D investment was 20.223 billion yuan, up 90.31% year-on-year. By the end of 2022, BYD had applied for more than 39,000 patents and authorized more than 28,000 patents worldwide, with nearly 70,000 R&D personnel. Under the research and development and investment at any cost, the peak technologies such as blade battery, DM-i super hybrid, E platform 3.0, CTB battery body integration and "Easy Sifang" have been released one after another, and the emergence of Yunqi has enabled BYD to keep ahead in technology, and at the same time, it has provided consumers with the best choice, no longer subject to the serious premium of joint ventures or imported cars, and truly fulfilled the significance of technology changing their lives.

Science fiction collection "Promised Land": Creating the Future with Imagination

  Jules verne once said: "What one person can imagine, another person can turn it into reality." Submarine, helicopter, spaceship, artificial intelligence, genetic technology and other important inventions and innovations are inextricably linked with science fiction works, which wrote the bishop for this sentence. Thus this famous saying has become the most classic description of the connection between science fiction and the real world.

  What can the current science fiction bring to the great changes in science and technology? How can technology lead human society to the future? Promised Land answers these questions.

  Recently, Ji Shaoting, the founder of the Future Affairs Administration, Jiang Bo, a science fiction writer, Zhang Jiaxing, the technical director of artificial intelligence of Ant Financial, and An Ye, the cultural editor of Zhanlu, came to Shanghai, bringing a collection of hard science fiction novels jointly contributed by seven cutting-edge writers who were shortlisted for the nebula award, Hugo award and other outstanding awards — — Promised land.

  Promised Land originated from the workshop plan of the Future Affairs Bureau. As a company focusing on science fiction culture, it has signed more than 100 domestic and foreign authors and created more than 800 novels. Since its birth in 1818, science fiction has been accompanied by the rapid development of science and technology in a country and an era. Excellent science fiction should be based on the thinking brought about by scientific and technological changes. The Bureau of Future Affairs hopes to attract more sci-fi writers to pay attention to the current changes in China. Ant Financial, as an important technology company in China, is a very good observation object. Therefore, the Bureau of Future Affairs invited more than a dozen science fiction writers and engineers of Ant Financial Artificial Intelligence Project to exchange ideas. Because of this opportunity, science fiction writers at home and abroad have the opportunity to get in touch with the technology being developed by Ant Financial. On the basis of knowing the technical mechanism, the authors have created independent stories.

  Science fiction writers use imagination to edit the future, and engineers are creating the future. Ji Shaoting said: "What changes can science fiction writers in China bring to the scientific research strength in China and the great technological changes that are taking place in China? This book is a start. I hope that it will still be considered by many readers after ten, twenty and fifty years, and will be verified or overthrown by the emergence of new technologies. "

  The story of "changing face"

  Jiang Bo contributed a story about "changing face" in The Promised Land. When financial criminals can use the technical loopholes of face recognition to hide the sky, personal privacy begins to be threatened by technology. Jiang Bo has been thinking about face recognition for the first time in the workshop. What kind of social problems will arise after the face brushing technology enters life? For example, is it feasible to change the facial features by light to make the machine misjudge? Coincidentally, soon after the story was written, I saw a news report about using faces to identify crimes. He believes: "If science fiction writers can run ahead of science and technology to predict something, it is a very meaningful thing for science fiction writers, and FACE/OFF partially achieved this."

  Regarding whether the "black technology" described in the book will really happen in real life, Zhang Jiaxing explained in time: "This method is actually using an algorithm to cheat the algorithm. For example, it looks like a cat and adds something to the algorithm. The naked eye recognizes that the cat is still a cat, but it has become a dog in the eyes of the machine. The plot of this novel twists and turns, and the description of technology is also very imaginative. However, the face recognition technology in reality is not as simple as that written in the novel. The technical model itself is highly confidential. Companies will set up security prevention and control algorithms for it, and will also identify people in all directions through comprehensive means such as infrared and laser. "

  "Enami made a deduction that is very close to the future in this novel. The best part is that this deduction was really realized later. In fact, whether it is cited or overturned, this is a good thing. I think this is the greatest value of this workshop — — Think and deduce the reality. " Ji Shaoting added.

  Not predicting the future, but giving imagination.

  Many people say that The Wandering Earth started the first year of science fiction in China, and the upgrading of technology made people truly realize the speed of scientific and technological development. Whether technology pursues imagination or imagination pursues technology has become a common problem for science fiction writers and technicians.

  Jiang Bo believes that technology and imagination are integrated. Just as there are myths in primitive society, science fiction was born on the soil of technology. Imagination is a part of human nature and shapes human world outlook. Technology and imagination are a unity, and they promote each other and evolve together. When discussing technology, we can’t define it by pure guilt or innocence. More often, we still keep technology neutral. Whether the future is a land of hope or death, the key is to control technology within a reasonable range and serve mankind.

  In Ji Shaoting’s eyes, science fiction is literature to watch the future. It is difficult to bear the function of predicting the future, but it can give countless imaginations. Whether these imaginations are good or bad, they simply depict the possibility of the future in everyone’s eyes. In the past 200 years, there will always be a few things in science fiction, such as humans setting foot on the moon, launching satellites, inventing tablet computers, and widely using big data. As Liu Cixin asked: "If the future is a high-speed car, and artificial intelligence technology is its throttle, then what technology can become the brake of this car?"

  Perhaps for science fiction, the real value lies in asking questions rather than answering them, because there will always be new technologies to subvert or answer them, so you don’t have to answer them, just think. It is precisely because of this kind of thinking that some bad futures have not appeared, which is also the significance of science fiction.

  The door of science fiction will not be closed.

  "You are walking on the plain, and suddenly you meet a wall. This wall is infinitely high up, infinitely deep down, infinitely far to the left and infinitely far to the right. What is this wall?"

  "death."

  With "Three-body" winning Hugo Award, sci-fi works have entered people’s field of vision widely. The double outbreak of The Wandering Earth’s word-of-mouth and box office has immersed creators and audiences in the wave of sci-fi. Recently, the controversy over "Shanghai Fortress" has made everyone start to wonder whether China’s sci-fi movies will end at the beginning.

  China science fiction is still in its infancy, and the emergence and development of anything is not smooth sailing. Ji Shaoting said: "It can be said that The Wandering Earth started, but it doesn’t mean that all the works will get better and better in the future. After that, we will see all kinds of works writing different sci-fi futures, sorting out experiences in success, and bringing inspiration and value in failure. There is an excellent domestic sci-fi movie that people often ignore, Crazy Alien, which is inspired by Liu Cixin’s Country Teacher. There are few excellent domestic comedy sci-fi movies, and people tend to pay more attention to those works with big splash. The problem now is that we have too few science fiction works, and we can’t define China science fiction just by a few works. "

  Domestic science fiction has attracted enough attention, and the potential audience is so huge that it has become history for Chinese people not to watch science fiction and care about the future. The popularity of Three-body in Japan also shows that China’s science fiction works have attracted the attention of international audiences. When more creators and supporters join the industry and have confidence in the sci-fi market in China, everyone is thinking about their relationship with science and technology, which is the essence of sci-fi works.

Corporate Governance Department of the General Administration of Financial Supervision: Preventing the disorderly expansion of industrial capital in the financial sector

The Beijing News Shell Financial News (Reporter Huang Xinyu) The Central Financial Work Conference pointed out that the prevention and control of risks should be the eternal theme of financial work, and the focus should be on comprehensively strengthening supervision, preventing and defusing risks, and firmly holding the bottom line of no systemic risks.
