Chapter 451: The Whale Leap is Too Small, the Whale Fall is Too Big
After the news of the access to the Fu'an Experience Hall was announced,
The whole Internet exploded.
Countless people took crazy screenshots.
Many technology experts released their introductions as soon as possible.
[Jingyue has gone completely crazy: a virtual cabin worth three million yuan can be experienced for just 150 yuan!]
In the front row, Qi Wei heard this.
The whole person is not calm anymore,
This scene was not what he wanted to see.
Whale Leap is not just a game for the rich.
What he wants is popularization!
And most importantly, in this track,
Tengqu can't stop it at all!
Mr. Ma! Are you here?
The industry is really going to change!
…
At this time, Yao Wenqing on the stage said again:
"We are working with experience centers around the world to speed up the deployment of equipment."
"We also welcome social capital and local platforms to join this innovation."
"If all goes well..."
"Next year, the number of experience centers nationwide will exceed 500."
“We want everyone to experience a whale fall!”
“Technology is not about being high and mighty!”
After Yao Wenqing finished speaking, his eyes swept across the meeting room.
Circle after circle, it fell on countless faces with burning eyes.
Someone stood, clenched his fists tightly,
Some people sit, feeling uneasy,
Yao Wenqing took a deep breath.
I looked at Mr. Lu who was sitting in the corner.
After thinking about what Mr. Lu had said, he continued,
"However, just doing this is not enough."
“We want to take Whale Fall further.”
"Then you can't just rely on whale leaps."
boom!
The game developer sitting in the front row looked up suddenly.
Many colleagues in the audience held their breath.
What is he going to say?
Is it what we expected?
“We are Whale Leap.”
“We developed whale fall.”
"We also launched the first batch of experience games, 'Zhi Ge'."
“But if you ask me: What will the world of whale fall be like in the future?”
"I'll tell you the truth, this track is huge and we don't know it."
“That’s why we hope everyone who’s interested can join us!”
"The future of virtual games may be shaped by every creator, developer, studio, laboratory, university, science fiction writer, and stage play group willing to devote themselves to this field."
Yao Wenqing paused slightly, his eyes gentle, yet with an extremely clear and sharp look:
“Whale falls require an ecosystem.”
“And the ecosystem cannot be created in a closed environment.”
"so……"
The big screen lit up again.
[Whale Fall Ecosystem Developer Program Officially Launched]
"Whale Leap will open up some of the underlying engine docking standards, sensor feedback channels, and scene skeleton systems of Whale Fall."
“We will provide a dedicated Whale Fall Engine development package for all teams willing to invest in development.”
“You can develop it jointly.”
“Customized research and development is also possible.”
"You want to make fighting games, story exploration games, suspense puzzles, even immersive stage plays, AI experimental sandboxes, or even... psychotherapy, rehabilitation training, virtual exhibitions, campus simulations... We support it."
"As long as it passes our approval and authorization, it can be developed directly!"
“This is a much bigger platform!”
Boom!!!
The front row exploded!
Many representatives from technology studios suddenly stood up and applauded!
Some laboratory directors were so excited that their hands were shaking!
“Authorization!??”
"Is Whale Leap crazy?!"
"This is simply not a decision a tech company could make...!"
"So, is Whale Leap simply giving up its monopoly?"
"New Year's Eve! This is the real New Year's Eve!"
On the stage, Yao Wenqing remained gentle and firm.
Originally, he did not understand the open ecosystem.
However, until I heard Mr. Lu’s explanation.
Yao Wenqing still remembers that it was the eve of the press conference.
Mr. Lu sat opposite him, looking through the various procedures of the press conference.
After a while, he gently put down his pen.
He glanced at Yao Wenqing.
"Do you think we shouldn't open the whale fall interface?"
Yao Wenqing didn't say anything.
But Mr. Lu smiled.
"I know what you're thinking..."
"We've finally gotten a generation ahead, so why should we proactively open things up and launch a developer ecosystem co-building program?"
"But in fact, you only see that we are ahead now, but you don't see the reality we are facing."
"To be honest, it's very difficult for us to control something like whale fall!"
Lu Ming paused and pushed the document aside.
He leaned back in his chair, his expression unusually serious.
"First, the whale leap is too small, and the whale fall is too big."
“You think we’ve done great, we’ve released the virtual gaming pod, we’ve figured out neural mapping, we’ve made Stop the War… but you have to understand – this is just the beginning.”
"Our current R&D team, human resources, financial reserves, and supply chain integration capabilities can easily support this."
"But what next?"
“More content, more scenes!”
"Even after the launch of Whale Fall, what will its impact be on society as a whole, and on the country? By then, this thing will have a huge reach!"
“It should cover education, medical care, urban exhibitions, museum interactions, immersive theater, scientific experiments, model training…”
"These things all rely on whale leaps?"
"That's impossible!"
“So, openness is absolutely the will of the people!”
Yao Wenqing opened his mouth but didn't respond.
Lu Ming waved his hand and said calmly:
“Second, monopoly is difficult.”
"Do you think if we don't open up, others won't be able to do it?"
"Do you think those research institutes, tech giants, and overseas laboratories are just watching the fun?"
"They're just a step behind now."
“But soon, they will unite and target Whale Fall.”
“No matter how powerful a company is, it cannot stop the entire industry from pushing back.”
"And...how long can we last?"
“It wasn’t figured out before because people didn’t know enough about it, but now there’s a physical entity right in front of them!”
"Once we have the results, we can deduce the process. This will be much faster!"
"Even if the technology is blocked, policies, the market, and international public opinion will put you on top and then peel you off."
"At that time, whale fall was no longer something our company could decide!"
“All monopolies will be liquidated by the times.”
Yao Wenqing listened in silence, his throat a little dry. He wanted to say something, but felt that nothing he said would be right.
"So, since we can't defend it."
"Then we won't defend it."
“That’s the mindset of a shovel seller!”
"You dig for gold, and I'll sell you a shovel."
"If you dig it up, I'll get a share. If you don't dig it up...it's not my business."
"But as long as you're still using my tools, I'm the foundation of the entire track."
"Platform thinking doesn't mean you want all the traffic, but you want the traffic to be inseparable from you."
"And, in this case—a whale fall is still a whale leap."
“We have a patent.”
"There's a motherboard."
“There are interface standards.”
"Absolute authority over the scene engine."
"We are the ones who set the standards here! We have absolute priority!"
"You want to develop? You need our authorization."
"Want to publish? You have to use our platform."
"By optimizing the ecology of Whale Fall, you are laying the foundation for us."
"even"
“The more content you create, the better it gets, and the more complex it gets…”
"The safer I am."
“The more irreplaceable I am.”
"Old Yao, remember this!"
"Victory plus victory is not necessarily the best outcome!"
“De-escalation and retreat can also be a form of occupation!”
After Lu Ming finished speaking, he took a sip of water.
This time, he thought very clearly.
The level of something like Whale Fall is so high that it is difficult for him or the entire Whale Leap to control it.
So, openness is definitely reasonable!
This is also the consensus expected by everyone.
Moreover, this would provide more entry points for his emotional value.
After listening to Lu Ming's analysis, Yao Wenqing was stunned.
It was then that he realized that President Lu had never thought of relying on whale falls to shut down the industry.
What he wants is... to make whale fall an industry.
Just like the operating system to the software ecosystem.
Just like Android to mobile phones.
Like potatoes to the cafeteria.
Whale Leap doesn't need to do all the games.
It only needs to be the underlying layer that all games cannot do without.
“This is the safest business.”
“It is also the decision for Whale Leap to go further!”
…
And at this moment, in the venue.
Everyone looked at the words "Whale Fall Developer Alliance" on the big screen.
Some are excited, some are thoughtful,
The live broadcast room's barrage scrolled like a tide:
"How daring... Is this the pattern of Whale Leap?"
“Only by not being closed off can we go further!”
"I feel like if this continues, other companies won't even consider developing virtual gaming pods anymore!"
"In this year's science and technology dictionary, everything can be deleted except whale fall."
In the audience.
A senior hardware chief engineer in the industry sat in the back row.
He wore a pair of old-fashioned glasses, had gray hair, and didn't speak.
He just looked up at the whale fall logo on the stage.
After a long moment, he chuckled softly.
Turning to the young assistant next to him, he said:
"Do you know what this means?"
“This is a victory for protocol standardization.”
"Instead of blocking the market, they gave it a key."
"This is the same as the railways hundreds of years ago and the operating systems hundreds of years later."
"From now on, everyone will live on the map of Whale Fall."
