CTOnews.com, September 23, 2008. At the beginning of this year, some netizens found that the strategic business department of NetEase's Thunderfire Division had released a number of recruitment information related to blockchain and metasmos, including blockchain system / application development, blockchain system testing, blockchain product operation and market commerce (meta-universe / NFT direction).

In addition, in view of the landing of meta-universe, NetEase has been recruiting positions such as a builder for virtual scenes and a face pincher for virtual characters. It is reported that the recruitment in the industry belongs to the field of artificial intelligence, with an annual salary of one million yuan.

NetEase founder and CEO Ding Lei also said last year: "I can tell you with great certainty that NetEase is ready for meta-universe at all levels of technology and planning, how to design specifications and how to reserve technology. At the sound of a gunshot, we may run faster than anyone else."

According to thepaper.cn, Wang Yuan, vice president of NetEase, executive director of the research institute and general manager of NetEase Jiefan, said in an interview: NetEase has accumulated technology in the game field, through game engine capabilities and product building capabilities.

He believes that NetEase has a good opportunity in the field of meta-universe. At the software level of meta-universe, NetEase has accumulated deeply, and his products are the most likely to land in the industry.

It is reported that the concept of meta-universe began with the science fiction Avalanche written by American writer Neil Stephenson in 1992. In the book, Stephenson depicts a surreal digital space "Metaverse" in which people who are blocked by geographical space can interact with each other through their avatars, spend their leisure time and control their income at will.

CTOnews.com has reported that Xinhua News Agency previously quoted several interviewees as saying that meta-universe, as a carrier of the integration of the virtual world and the real world, contains huge opportunities for social, content, game, office and other scene changes, and is a new Internet application and social form produced by the integration of block chain and other new technologies.

However, today's so-called meta-universe is still in its infancy, and most companies are still in their infancy.

Professor Zhu Jiaming, director of the academic and Technical Committee of the Digital assets Research Institute, once said: the connotation of "meta-universe" is to absorb the achievements of the information revolution (5G / 6G), the Internet revolution (web3.0), the artificial intelligence revolution, and the virtual reality revolution of VR (virtual reality), AR (augmented reality), MR (hybrid reality), especially game engines. "

"Ding Lei" rubbing "Yuan Universe": NetEase has made technical and planning preparations, and may move faster than his competitors. "

"NetEase: aiming at the landing of meta-universe, he is already recruiting positions such as virtual scene builder and face kneader."
