Chapter 505: The Taihuang Mountain and Sea Realm Appears
"Just now, I was standing next to Miss Yang Mi. I was a little nervous and forgot to mention one thing. Due to hardware limitations, AI OS cannot be adapted to more models of mobile phones for the time being, but I believe..."
"AI OS?" Yu Dan, who was waiting backstage, shook his hair and glanced at Fang Yu, who was standing next to him with his hands in his pockets and a relaxed look on his face.
"Xiao Fang, why do I feel like Mr. Lei's choice of words seems to be...deliberately downplaying Yuzi Technology?"
"You don't seem to mind at all?" Yu Dan's eyes moved slightly, and he said casually.
Mind? What do I mind? What is there to mind?
The bait has been swallowed and is hooked in the throat. Do you still want to spit out the hook?
Don’t think we are fishing with a straight hook, the bait on the hook is fentanyl!
From the moment Dami couldn't resist the temptation, accepted the Mix solution optimized by Youzi Technology, and used Youmi OS, it had already completed the binding between itself and Youzi Technology, became a member of the Youzi system, and could never leave.
Initially, Xiaomi's Mix was just a full-screen solution, and due to sanctions from the three countries, it could not obtain Amoled and could only use LCD.
In addition, there was no experience in making full-screen components for other components at the time, so the final solution had a black border of several millimeters at the bottom of the screen, which was not a true full-screen.
At this time, Dami and Youzi Technology began to cooperate to carry out the AI-based development of subsequent versions of MIUI and ensure that the development of the advance version would be completed before the release of Mix.
As a result, just a few days after seeing the first prototype of Mix, the team at Youzi Technology came up with a shocking plan - a full-screen mobile phone design that was automatically optimized and iterated more than one million times through AI algorithms.
The advantages of this solution are almost irresistible to Rice engineers!
Because this plan, which has over one million iterations, covers all-round optimization from display to internal hardware!
It’s almost like coming up with a standard answer for supply chain improvement, and suppliers just have to copy it!
After Lei Jun got the plan, he immediately realized the huge value it could bring.
But he still hesitated for three days before he couldn't resist the temptation and decided to abandon the original plan and adopt this new plan.
This is because he knows very well that if this new plan is adopted, it means that in the future, whether in hardware design or operating system control, Dami may be subject to the control of Youzi Technology.
Coupled with the existence of Youmi OS, Dami may even gradually lose its autonomy and become a mere supply chain role.
What if we don’t use this plan?
What's the difference between that and Ermao who voluntarily gave up nuclear weapons?!
When this plan falls into the hands of other manufacturers, will rice still have a chance to survive?
Since the day nuclear weapons were born, it has been like this: if others don’t have it, I must have it; if others have it, I must have it even more!
As for whether it will balance the influence of Youzi Technology by going public as soon as possible and introducing capital, or by occupying a new ecological niche under the Youzi supply chain, that is all a matter of the future.
At least for now, I have to make sure I can survive first.
Hearing Yu Dan's probing words, Fang Yu simply snorted and changed the subject: "Brother Dan, it's better to move the internal testing date forward. Wasn't the first version of the plot that Wei Ao and the others came up with pretty good? Why are you trying to change it again?"
"This game is primarily about open-world gameplay, with the system first and the plot second. We want them to stop getting bogged down in the minutiae."
"And then there are those side quests. They're so focused on 'touching', 'bonds', 'pursuit', and 'destiny'. Out of a nine-page plan, these things take up eight and a half pages. But where's the player's sense of achievement?"
"Just like the Three-Tailed Fox side quest, after a long time of hard work, players can get a Fox Spirit Jade. This thing was useless in the first five version plans. It was not until the sixth version plan that it could be used to trap Qingqiu Spirit Foxes."
"A side quest early on gives players a sense of 'achievement' two years later? I ask you, what do they think? Huh? What do they think?"
Lei Jun, who was still chattering in the Yu Dan stand, took the opportunity to light a cigarette and took a couple of quick puffs: "Don't say that to their faces. They're very motivated right now. You're not a creative person, so you don't understand. This is an artistic pursuit."
Fang Yu rolled his eyes and accidentally rubbed the knob in his pocket. Da Mimi on the stage trembled and almost fell onto the stage.
"Artistic pursuits are a fart, fast updates are king! They're always chasing these little details for their own amusement, no wonder their games aren't profitable."
"And that Zhu Yifei, is he out of his mind? He's making this 'mountain paste' thing and keeps saying 'alpaca' all the time. He doesn't even think about it. How can he possibly pass the review?"
Yu Dan was unhappy: "Three months of internal testing and six months of public testing is already the limit."
"Look, which company in the industry can create such a huge world-view game in such a short time?"
"You promised them not to interfere with their creations."
Fang Yu said confidently, "I can choose not to interfere with the creative process, but as the client and the boss, I need to see results. I need the project to be completed on time. Is that okay?"
"You said that no one in the industry has completed a large-scale world-view game so quickly, but does the industry have the technical support of Youguo Games?"
"The game framework itself is complete. They just need to fill it with art resources and create a plot to complete the world view and background information, and use a sense of achievement to bind players. Is it that difficult?"
Yu Dan was speechless and took a big sip of the Marlboro in his hand.
"What I want is a closed beta test before Christmas, an open beta test before the end of the year, and a full launch before the second quarter of next year. If you need any support, you can contact me. If the support is not in place and the project fails, it's our fault. If the support is in place and the project still cannot be delivered on time, it's their fault."
Yu Dan took two puffs of his cigarette and suddenly felt something was wrong.
Damn it, isn't this the same word I usually use to talk to the other party?
After struggling for half a lifetime, you still become the second party when you return?
At this moment, Lei Jun's voice came from the front of the screen: "Welcome Mr. Yu Dan, the CEO of Youguo Games!"
Yu Dan looked at Fang Yu and shook his head helplessly: "I finally realized that I'm on a pirate ship. Sigh."
After saying that, Yu Dan threw away the cigarette between his fingers, stamped his feet twice, straightened his collar, and walked up the steps to the stage.
——
When Song Runwen saw Lei Jun announce that Mix would only have 300,000 copies released initially, he was already numb.
When the price of 5999 came out, Song Runwen's eyes turned red.
Damn, at this price, I want to buy one myself.
Damn, I forgot that I’m a UP host, so I really need to get one.
After today's press conference, Mix will definitely become a hot topic for all 3C digital UP hosts. The unboxing, experience, analysis, and disassembly videos of Mix will definitely be a big hit!
Just like the iPhone 4 back then.
No, it is definitely much more popular than iPhone 4!
After all, the number of mobile Internet users has increased more than tenfold compared to that time!
Moreover, this phone will definitely attract foreign UP hosts on YouTube, but they will definitely get the phone later than Da Zhou UP. At that time, the related videos posted by Da Zhou UP on YouTube will definitely be driven to another round of explosion!
Damn it.
Song Runwen opened his comment section with red eyes.
Fuck, as expected, there are a lot more curses in the comment sections of the first two posts.
The latest post... well, it's okay. After all, it's just a subtle hint of yin and yang, leaving some room for myself.
Huh? Wasn't this Russian Tender Butterfly previously blocked? How can she still be commenting on her own post?
Song Runwen's eyes flashed, and he saw a familiar ID. After taking a closer look, he found that the word "Russian" was wrong, and it was written as "Etest".
"Oh my, you like blocking people so much? I have a secondary account!"
"To prevent others from getting the wrong idea, let me translate your sarcasm. What you're saying is simply that Rice released a technology that was supposed to mature and be released two years later."
"It's not that the rice is so strong, but that the rice has no moral integrity, breaks industry rules, and is irresponsible to users."
"Then why is Da Mi doing this? Because Da Mi is in crisis, so we need to boost user confidence."
"Was my translation accurate?"
"A two-year technology reserve period? Damn, you're really putting it on. A large company's technology reserve means a 2-5 year reserve for the technology route, not a finished product right now. Do you understand?"
"Your face is swollen, right? Oh, no, it's the drum itself that's swollen, right?"
"Old rabbit."
When Song Runwen saw the last three words, he almost jumped up.
Old rabbit?
How did he know? Who is this person? I've been hiding it pretty well.
Song Runwen touched his chin with his index finger raised, as if he had a Zhen Huan nail cover on his little finger.
Block, block!
Why hasn't Weibo released a function to delete comments?
Song Runwen made up his mind and deleted all three messages he had just posted about the rice press conference.
"I knew it... this segment had to be at the end, otherwise no one would pay attention to the previous press conference..."
Hearing the sound coming from the computer, Song Runwen was stunned and switched the page back to the press conference.
What does it mean? What else is there?
It's not over yet, is it? You're doing this, setting such a high tone, emptying all your assets. What are you going to do with the next press conference? —
"Hello everyone, my name is Yu Dan, from Youguo Games."
As soon as Yu Dan came on stage, he introduced himself in a low-key manner.
There was little expression on Yu Dan's face. With his 1.85-meter height and flowing hair, he looked a bit like a domineering CEO + an ascetic male god. Many female reporters and female employees of Dami in the front row had their eyes shining.
So handsome.
There were also a few people from the gaming circle among the audience. After seeing Yu Dan, they felt that he looked familiar and searched for him online.
Oh my god, isn't this the boss of Hero Interactive Entertainment? The one who runs the esports league? What did he say about Youguo Games?
What company? Is this Haojie's new subsidiary?
A game developer? Never heard of him?
Lei Jun asked him to be the finale? He also said that if he put this segment first, no one would watch the rest of the press conference?
A series of question marks appeared in everyone's mind.
Yu Dan looked at the audience seriously. "Youguo Games is a newly established game company. The reason I'm here at the press conference today is because Dami Mix will have a pre-installed trial version of our upcoming game, 'Tainhuang: Mountain and Sea Realm.'"
Taihuang Mountain and Sea Realm? What game?
Everyone looked confused.
"You may all be wondering, the theme of today's press conference is 'AI Technology, a New Era,' and 'Tainhuang: Mountain and Sea Realm' will also be a true AI open world mobile game."
Artificial intelligence? Open world?
Yu Dan looked at the audience expressionlessly and said, "I'm not very good at speaking, so let me show you a promotional video we made."
After saying that, Yu Dan pressed the page turner, the big screen flashed, and then a jumping grapefruit rolled twice in the middle of the screen.
Then the scene changed, and the short film that the game developers had seen before appeared on the big screen in the center of the field!
Real-life AR!
Is this a follow-up to Pocket Monsters Go?
However, this picture is so awesome!
How is this AR image superimposed on the real scene? Even with such intense movement, there is no separation?
Everyone started exclaiming as soon as they saw the first lightning snake appear.
After adjustments made by Da Zhou's top art team, the Razer's appearance this time is more realistic and perfect.
The most important thing is - it looks good.
I have to say that the graphics that Yuzu had previously directed Orange to create for the large model were a bunch of shit compared to the current trial version graphics.
Silver electric light illuminates every black scale, and the waves raised by the thunder snake splash on the screen and then slide down the screen, as if there is a real world inside this mobile phone screen.
AR and VR are the hottest concepts this year besides AI. In fact, at the end of last year, various technology media generally predicted that this year would be the first year of VR explosion, and a large number of companies would launch various VR devices.
Unexpectedly, the Orange model suddenly appeared at the beginning of the year, instantly sucking away almost all the hot money in the market, causing many VR start-ups to die suddenly.
As large manufacturers also have to invest a lot of money in computing power storage and large-scale model research and development, they have also reduced their investment in VR and AR research and development. Many VR products that were expected to be launched this year have been postponed.
There is no way. AI is an unprecedented money-eating beast, but funds are limited, so we can only invest in important areas first.
After all, we don’t know whether the metaverse will work or not. Missing out on AI may be the difference between going to heaven and falling into the mortal world.
Therefore, this year, the most explosive product in the AR and VR fields is the Pocket Monster Go.
But most people also know that the popularity of Pocket Monsters Go has nothing to do with AR technology, but is mainly due to the Pocket Monsters IP and the world map gameplay mode.
Firstly, this game was actually developed by a team from Google, with IP license granted by Ren Tianguo, and later a joint venture was established.
Secondly, the AR technology and 3D modeling technology used in Pocket Monsters Go are not very good. They look like paper pieces, which is fake, but not playable and there is no gaming experience at all.
But this promotional video in front of us is incredible. If what the CEO of Youguo Games said is true, and this is really the actual game screen, let alone the crappy graphics of Pocket Monsters Go, even Evil City can't compare to it!
The question is, if you have such powerful AR technology, why do you make such a game?
Directly develop AR concepts, create AR products, and raise money to go public!
Isn’t it faster than making money by making a game?
How much money can Pocket Monster Go make every year?
The short film ends abruptly when the boy looks at another boy on the street.
Bang bang bang bang bang!
There was thunderous applause at the scene.
But you can tell that the atmosphere is not as lively as when Lei Jun released Rice Mix just now.
