Chapter 508 Taiyi Chain (4472)
The flashlights in the audience flickered one after another. Yu Dan looked at the teleprompter on the table and said calmly:
"Today is the launch conference of Dami Mix. The reason why "Taihuang: Mountain and Sea Realm" was first launched on Mix is firstly because of our good cooperative relationship with Dami."
"More importantly, the AI computing platform on Mix and the underlying scheduling capabilities of MIUI OS for AI and AR provide us with an ideal technical foundation."
“We love this world and always believe that no virtual world can compare with reality; and no technology can create miracles greater than reality.”
"Each of us, from birth, is a player of the game 'Blue Star Online' - no other game is more realistic, more complex, or more exciting than this one."
“A completely virtual metaverse may be cool, but it’s just a refuge from the real world.”
"Mix is a great name. It corresponds exactly to the higher level after AR - MR, which stands for Mixed Reality."
"We prefer to call it 'fusion'—not superposition, but fusion; not replacement, but symbiosis."
"Truly integrating the virtual world into the real world is what Youguo Games is striving for, and Taihuang: The Realm of Mountains and Seas is the first footnote to this vision."
"Youguo Games will push a beta update to Mix users before December 24th, and will officially launch an open beta before the Spring Festival."
"We will also use this time to continuously enrich the gameplay and game content, and look forward to bringing everyone a truly desolate world."
“Enjoy the game, and enjoy the world we built.”
"May you find your own truth in the wilderness."
"Thank you everyone."
After saying that, Yu Dan raised the Mix in his hand, waved it, and turned away gracefully.
Coupled with his stern face and handsome posture, the atmosphere on the scene was almost about to explode!
It’s so fucking awesome!
Fully practical mixed reality, independent AI, blockchain assets...
Any one of these things is enough to support a complete press conference, not only in the gaming industry, but also in the hands of any major company.
No, it should be said that a breakthrough in one aspect of one of these things is enough to open a single game!
Just the practical mixed reality that Youguo Games has demonstrated has countless key technological breakthroughs!
You know, at the launch of the GTX680, a tactical core graphics card that can destroy an aircraft carrier battle group in one shot, the yellow-skinned man praised the GPU Boost, which can dynamically adjust the GPU frequency, for more than an hour.
Together with the Mix and Youmi OS released by Lei Jun before, today's press conference can be said to be the strongest in history!
No doubt about it!
Fortunately, the rice fans at the scene were all young. If they were older, looking at their excited faces, flushed necks, and veins on their foreheads, they might have burst blood vessels by now.
Lei Jun came on stage again. In the enthusiastic atmosphere, thunderous applause broke out from the audience before he even opened his mouth.
I heard the audience shouting one more thing
"Today's press conference has come to an end. I know everyone is very excited, but I still want to remind everyone, don't forget, the 'Note 2' and 'Mix' will be available on the rice mall at 8 pm on time."
Everyone then remembered, yes, there are only 300,000 units in the first batch, so they still have to grab them!
"To prevent scalpers from disrupting the market and to thank old users for their support, we have upgraded our reservation system this time."
Lei Jun pointed to the update prompt that appeared on the big screen.
"After everyone upgrades to the latest version of Rice Mall and clicks on the reservation, Rice Mall will sort the users by weight."
“Old users of Dami, and those who have helped us build the Dami community, will be ranked according to their contributions and have priority purchasing rights. Each account can currently only purchase one Mix.”
"This time, at least we can ensure that people don't have to worry about being outcompeted by scalpers using automated scripts."
"Of course, we know this still won't completely prevent the resale of properties at a premium in the secondary market. We can only urge everyone to wait a few more days."
"Mr. Li and Mr. Shao have just assured me that within two weeks, they can double their current production capacity!"
"I believe that in a month or two, everyone who wants to buy a Mix will be able to buy our 'world's first full-screen AI phone'!"
There was thunderous applause and slogans and shouts at the scene.
"I would like to remind everyone again that before making an appointment, you must ensure that the Rice Mall is upgraded to the latest version. The latest version is now available on all app stores."
“Thank you, thank you everyone!”
After hearing the final announcement from Lei Jun, the fans at the scene shouted until their voices were almost hoarse, and some even burst into tears.
I'm so touched that Dami finally remembered us old fans.
In fact, Mi fans are quite miserable. When there were no Mi phones in the early days, Mi first developed MIUI, and the first batch of Mi fans had contributed a lot.
MIUI is essentially a deeply customized Android system created by the community. Fans play a very important role in it, and it can be said that they play the largest role among all major companies engaged in deep customization.
Before MIUI was officially launched, every test version required these fans to root their phones to participate in the testing, and users directly submitted bugs and product suggestions to engineers.
It can be said that these people are both free guinea pigs and free test engineers.
But afterwards, they received basically no benefits. After Dami became popular, few old fans could even get the priority purchasing rights when the product was first launched.
On the contrary, Zhou Wei and OV, who did not rely much on fan co-creation, did a good job in providing benefits to old users. Whether it was purchasing a phone with points or priority purchase rights, the threshold was much lower than that of Dami.
And today, it is definitely the most sought-after Mix in history, and I can actually buy it at the first price of 5999!
Who can still say that we are Lei Jun's leeks! ?
The leeks all straightened their backs.
——
Cai Hao nervously held a fruit pencil and drew on his iPad Pro.
The loop is closed, completely closed!
Although he is not in the cryptocurrency circle, he still understands the technical principles and key indicators of blockchain.
When he opened the official website of Youguo Games and checked the performance of Taiyi Chain, he immediately realized that if this performance was true, the operating model of "Taihuang Mountain and Sea Realm" would be completely closed!
This may be the first game where your account value can actually be maintained or even increased!
Rely on unprecedented MR+AI to attract players to try it out, then rely on data assets to improve customer retention, and finally charge through various in-game props or DLC.
They can even reach agreements with various tourist attractions to refresh rare and exotic beasts at fixed locations, organize various offline activities, and share the profits offline!
The low player retention of AR+ face-to-face games is like a piece of dirt, not worth mentioning, compared to data assets that may continue to appreciate in value!
In front of his eyes, he seemed to have seen countless people on the streets, lawns, tourist attractions... holding their mobile phones, doing tasks outdoors, and laughing with their friends next to them.
But the question is, how did they do it?
Does Pocket Monster GO not want to work on the blockchain? Do so many games not want to work on the blockchain?
Of course not!
This is something that current blockchain technology simply cannot achieve!
Imagine that Bitcoin currently has a maximum TPS of 7, which means that it can only process 7 transactions per second, and the actual number is only about 3. If all exotic beasts are NFTs, every "state" change must be uploaded to the Taiyi Chain.
Not to mention Bitcoin, even Ethereum's 15TPS may not be able to support even three people online, let alone a mobile game that may have millions of people online at the same time.
Even if we use the newly emerged Layer2+ Rollup package upload and layered ownership confirmation model, it is impossible to really support such a game!
How did they do it?
Cai Hao is not the only one who has this question. The already chaotic cryptocurrency circle of Da Zhou has this question as well.
It’s so powerful! Just looking at the performance description, this Taiyi Chain is so powerful! How did they do it?
Unfortunately, Taiyi Chain is a private chain. You cannot see the on-chain consensus, contract execution logic, and NFT structure. You can only see the block structure and data indexing method.
Was this blockchain technology developed by a gaming company? If they already have this technology, why don't they issue a cryptocurrency?
The press conference just ended, and "Taihuang: The Realm of Mountains and Seas" once again dominated the hot searches after Dami Mix and Youmi OS!
This press conference is so fucking outrageous, it's like PL-15 fighting against Gust of Wind.
Five or six planes were shot down at once.
Let’s not talk about the mobile phone and Android circles that were ignited by Dami Mix and Youmi OS. Let’s just talk about the last twenty minutes of the press conference. “Taihuang: The Realm of Mountains and Seas” alone first blew up the gaming circle, then the metaverse circle, and finally, even the fucking cryptocurrency circle was blown up!
Oh, by the way, the entry “Da Mimi is so awesome” even went viral on the fan circle.
It's just fucking outrageous.
Who would have thought that a game built into Rice Mix could cause such a stir!
Many people in the cryptocurrency circle immediately went to the official website of Youguo Games to check the information about Taiyi Chain, and their defense was instantly broken.
An average of 12.8 million transactions per second (TPS), a network-wide confirmation delay of just 50 milliseconds, 400,000 parallel signature verifications per second, polymorphic stack parallel execution, module hot-swappability, and behavioral determinism driven by zero gas...
What is the TPS of the most powerful Ethereum room now?
15!
How much is Bitcoin?
7!
What about Taiyi Chain? 12.8 million! Nearly a million times more than Ethereum!
Assuming that each player triggers a contract action every ten minutes, the Taiyi Chain with 12.8 million TPS is enough to support 7 billion people around the world to go online at the same time!
Even if Taichain is a private chain, without mining and voting, it is a fantasy to achieve 12.8 million TPS!
What's more, in the case of a private chain, all costs must be borne by Youguo Games.
The biggest problem with blockchain is that the longer it runs, the more state data and historical transaction records it generates. Since state data cannot be deleted or compressed, the storage requirements are like an expanding bubble; as long as it lives, it will continue to grow.
After your game has been running for a few years, how much will this cost alone be?
Even if Taiyi Chain can truly run 10 million TPS, how fast will the system run in three years? Will the chain still be able to sustain itself in five years?
If they don't design a sufficiently aggressive cleanup mechanism, the blockchain's storage, indexing, compression optimization, and node operation and maintenance alone could drag down the entire Youguo profit margin.
But if they clean it up too radically, can it still be called blockchain? Will anyone still believe in its value?
The value of blockchain comes from trust.
The belief comes from the tamper-proof nature of blockchain.
If the cleanup strategy is too aggressive, it can reduce the operation and maintenance costs of the private chain, but correspondingly, the trustworthiness will also be greatly reduced.
Yu Dan’s statement at the press conference, “Bitcoin is the misapplication of blockchain technology,” caused an uproar in the cryptocurrency world, which was already rife with speculation.
On that day, Bitcoin fell from a high of 855 US dollars to 700 US dollars. Many speculators who had leveraged due to the long bull market suffered a loss of their positions.
Countless digital currency buyers have been cursing Youguo Games and Yu Dan on various channels including Weibo and Zhifou.
Especially after some so-called bigwigs in the cryptocurrency circle saw this part of the press conference, they became furious.
A certain "sea turtle entrepreneur" who has been promoting digital currency entrepreneurship in China this year first posted an emoticon of a "crying smiley face" and then launched a barrage of criticism:
"[#Tribute to Blockchain#] Brother Min just showed me a clip from the press conference and I laughed my ass off."
"What's that 'Bitcoin is a misuse of blockchain'? Anyone can really say that these days. Your brother Sun took a look at your so-called Taiyi Chain. It's not a chain, it's a high-end pocket monster. Stop pretending."
“Your chain wouldn’t even dare to design it this way to exploit the scam of using air coins.”
"12.8 million TPS? Hahaha, if you say you don't understand, just tell me a TPS; if you say you do understand, then you can achieve 12.8 million TPS."
“Mr. Yu, I suggest you understand that it is Bitcoin that gives your NFT aura, not you who gives the chain value. Don’t forget, true “value consensus” doesn’t come from speeches, it’s given by the market!”
“Private chains inherently lack credibility and decentralization, and are not real blockchains at all. Stop deceiving people.”
"Repost + comment to win three ear mouse NFTs. I'll help you distribute them."
The so-called "Da Zhou Digital Currency Richest Man" who used to be an English teacher, later became an angel investor, and now switched to the cryptocurrency circle, even spoke in a pretentious and otherworldly tone:
"I'm in Miami, just got off the plane. I took a look at the technical documentation for the so-called Taiyi Chain and that cryptic press conference."
“To be honest, I’m not angry, I even feel like laughing. This is not a misunderstanding of blockchain, but a complete ignorance of the nature of the ‘trust structure’.”
“Let me first make a judgment: a blockchain that is not a public chain is meaningless.”
“Blockchain is not a database, it is the infrastructure of the value structure; NFT is not a technology, but a philosophical expression of digital identity and scarcity.”
“Blockchain is the art of building trust, not industrial design based on a bunch of parameters.”
"The carrier of trust is currency. I suggest Mr. Yu read more about Satoshi Nakamoto's A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System."
"Mr. Yu is a sea turtle, so the English version should be fine. If you can't understand it, I can also send you a copy of the Zhou version."
Although the cryptocurrency circle is very fierce in its criticism, it is too small compared with the huge number of game players and 3C enthusiasts. No matter how fierce the criticism is, it is not as fierce as the public opinion offensive launched by Dami's competitors.
After Mix was released, the public relations departments of all mobile phone and game companies worked at full capacity, organizing online campaigns and launching a campaign against Mix from all angles.
Xiaomi's full-screen and Youmi OS are too hardcore, so we can only criticize Xiaomi for treating users as guinea pigs and not being responsible to them.
Of course, some people initially criticized Youmi OS for illegally obtaining WeChat permissions, which was a typical black hat behavior.
But then, Dami announced the technical principle of Youmi OS for operating WeChat: it is a simulated manual operation performed by AI after the user authorizes AI.
Although this model is still a bit borderline, it does not violate WeChat's user agreement at all, let alone the law.
In this case, "Taihuang: The Realm of Mountains and Seas", which announced the use of blockchain technology and that it would not ban virtual transactions, became the biggest breakthrough for the public relations leaders.
Of course, there are also many people who defend the rice and grapefruit games, and their voices are no less loud than those on the other side.
After the press conference, the quarrel lasted for nearly two days without any sign of abating.
Amidst this clamor, the first batch of users who grabbed Rice Mix finally got the Mix they had been longing for.
