Rebirth 08: Rise from copycat phones

Chapter 208 The King of the Conference: AI Xiaoyun
However, even if it is a money-making mobile game, Huang Jianian has some ideas of his own.

Various small games that are mainly aimed at making money are still being developed. The company has more than a dozen small game project teams and can launch one to the market every month.

Then there are several large-scale mobile game projects under development, including the competitive battle game suggested by Xu Shenxue.

Xu Shenxue still remembers how popular League of Legends and its mobile version League of Legends were... When he saw League of Legends, he took the opportunity to invest and acquired some shares of Riot Games.

When Tencent acquired this gaming company this year, it was not able to achieve full control... because Xu Shenxue's Yihai Interactive also held 15% of the company's shares.

While investing in Riot Games, Xu Shenxue also asked Huang Jianian to develop a mobile version of the hero competitive battle game.

Of course, in order to circumvent copyright, various materials cannot be used directly, but need to be super modified...but the core mode of competitive battle and tower pushing remains unchanged.

There is no such thing as a patent for a game mode...After Yihai Network's Kingdom Protector became a global hit, various imitation games emerged.

Some other small games under Yihai Network that have achieved good results have also been widely "referenced".

This is normal. After all, they are just borrowing a game model, not copying you directly... Besides, many of Yihai Network's games are also imitating and borrowing from others.

There is no question of who is nobler than who!
This hero competitive battle mobile game has not been released for the time being, but the large-scale 3D action mobile game that Huang Jianian insisted on developing has been successfully developed.

This is the Dark Journey to the West!
It tells the story of a monkey who constantly struggles with various restraints, constantly challenges himself along the way, defeats various monsters, and attempts to climb to the top to transcend the mundane world. In the end, he is slapped to death by the Buddha at the foot of the Five Finger Mountain and turns into a mad monkey!

Of course, in today's press conference, the plot of the game is not important, and even the operation is not important. What is important is its gorgeous graphics...

The powerful gaming performance of Zhiyun S11 Pro is demonstrated through gorgeous game graphics!

This is why we chose this game as a demonstration game, because we value its unique 3D game graphics!

This game simply cannot be run on most current smartphones!
But the S11 Pro can be easily controlled!
Huang Jianian briefly introduced his own company on the stage, boasted about some of its past achievements, and then began to introduce this Dark Journey to the West.

While introducing it, open the game and start operating directly!

While introducing the game, he also did not forget to promote the powerful hardware performance of the S11 Pro. The protagonist of today's press conference has always been the S11 series of mobile phones, which even Huang Jianian would not forget.

His main task is to promote the powerful hardware performance of S11 and promote his own new games.

As Huang Jianian demonstrated, the game's gorgeous images appeared on the big screen behind him. A ferocious monkey was fighting a wild boar monster, and the wonderful pictures exploded!

This game screen was not projected directly onto the big screen through the demonstration machine, but was directly captured by a high-definition camera of the screen of the demonstration machine in Huang Jianian's hand.

The purpose is to more fully and intuitively demonstrate the S11 Pro's top gaming performance and screen performance.

After a few minutes of game performance demonstration, Huang Jianian walked off the stage with his game, and the game instantly spread around the world through online live broadcast.

Many people in China who were paying attention to the press conference expressed great interest in this game after seeing it, but more people were worried: can other mobile phones support this level of large-scale action mobile game?
Well, it’s quite tough actually!

This kind of large-scale 3D action mobile game has very high hardware requirements. At present, only the S11 Pro can bring out its ultimate graphics...or in other words, the ultimate graphics of this game are actually optimized specifically for the S11 Pro.

Even if you are using the standard version of S11, you cannot use the extreme graphics when playing this game. You can only use the high-end graphics, otherwise it will be laggy.

If it is a second-rate mobile phone like A11 with dual-core 1.2GHZ and 1GB ordinary memory, as well as a large number of flagship phones from other international manufacturers, you can only use mid-range picture quality.

As for the lower-end C series, being able to run with low-end picture quality is a victory!
As for lower-end mobile phones, don’t count on it, it simply can’t support it!
This game, paired with S11 Pro, is essentially a show of skill by Zhiyun and Yihai Network!

Zhiyun Technology showed off the ultimate hardware performance of their S11 Pro, while Yihai Network showed off their ultimate gaming graphics!
As for the game sales, this thing is originally a sentimental work of Huang Jianian. For Yihai Network, through the development of this game, it can accumulate some experience and technology for the subsequent large-scale mobile games and even 3A game development... This thing is essentially an experiment!

From top to bottom, Yihai Network never expected to make money from this thing, not even to get their money back!

But ordinary people don’t know this. After seeing such a shocking game through the online press conference, they were naturally very interested, and the corresponding discussion became heated.

On Weibo, where Xu Shenxue had just completed the strategic investment not long ago, there was another hot search topic about Zhiyun mobile phone!
At this moment, among the top 20 hot search rankings on Weibo, 15 are about the Zhiyun mobile phone conference.

The top ten are all hot search terms related to Zhiyun mobile phones!

What does it mean to dominate the charts? This means to dominate the charts…why?
This is not because one of Weibo’s bosses, Xu Shenxue, is holding a mobile phone launch conference, so Weibo’s technical department did it specially!

The popularity and traffic of Zhiyun mobile phone itself is enough to create this effect!

Even in the days before and after the press conference, Weibo itself needed to rely on the popularity of the Zhiyun mobile phone topic to attract traffic and maintain daily active users.

Normally, Zhiyun smartphones are the hottest topic on various media websites. A large number of technology websites and channels basically rely on the topic traffic brought by Zhiyun smartphones to survive.

By June, around the time of Zhiyun’s flagship phone launch conference, Zhiyun phones basically dominated the charts on various online platforms, including the three major portals!

On the one hand, there is Zhiyun’s advertising, and on the other hand, these news media also need Zhiyun’s popularity.

It’s a two-way journey!

And Weibo is no exception!

Today, when Zhiyun Technology is holding a new flagship launch conference, if you don’t put some hot words of the Zhiyun mobile phone launch conference on your homepage and lead users to participate in the discussion, the users will turn around and go to other platforms to discuss.

Today, the Zhiyun mobile phone launch conference is the biggest news, no doubt about it!

Even abroad, countless media are paying attention to what new black technology Zhiyun Technology will come up with this year!

Last year's fingerprint recognition sparked a widespread discussion on fingerprint recognition technology around the world.

This year, Zhiyun Technology has come up with a bunch of new things, such as sliding back, a 4.7-inch reticulated screen, a dual-core chip, and finally the amazing 7mm body thickness.

Any one of these would be enough for other mobile phone manufacturers to brag about at the press conference, but Zhiyun Technology has concentrated all of them on one mobile phone: S11 Pro.

This also brought greater shock to people.

----

At the live press conference, Xu Shenxue asked other people to come on stage one by one to introduce some subsystems, functions or the company's own built-in software.

For example, mobile office suite.

The portrait recognition technology in the album can identify the people in the photos and classify them.

Then there is the built-in image processing software Meitu.

Unlike the company's history of simply focusing on beauty, after being acquired by Zhiyun Technology, Meitu not only continues to focus on beauty technology, but also rushes towards intelligent image processing and 2D portrait recognition technology... such as intelligent replacement of backgrounds, characters, clothes, etc.

Strictly speaking, this is about big data AI!

The technical department of the beauty software actually belongs to the Intelligent Research Institute, and is mainly responsible for AI images.

After all, it is a subsidiary of Zhiyun Technology. We will not let you play with beauty functions only. That is not in line with the philosophy of Zhiyun. If you want to play with pictures, then play with advanced ones, such as portrait recognition, AI picture replacement, processing, and even generation! This is what the picture processing subsidiary of Zhiyun Technology should play with.

Some business departments and some cooperative manufacturers came on stage one after another to introduce a lot of functions or other gadgets.

Xu Shenxue takes the stage again!
"Well, I believe everyone has a basic impression of our S11 Pro phone. It is extremely thin and light, has a very high appearance, has the largest retinogram screen, has the most powerful CPU and GPU performance, has an ultimate gaming experience, and is rich in various office components, daily life function components, and has more than apps in our app store!"

“And of course, our very unique swipe back and other gesture features!”

“All of the above are amazing. I even dare to say that other companies will not be able to achieve this level of mobile phones for a long time in the future!”

"The only one who can break our own limits is us, Zhiyun!"

"Now, let me introduce a function that breaks the limits of our Zhiyun!"

"Everyone, please pay attention to the big screen. This is the real-time high-definition shooting picture of the demonstration machine in my hand!"

"Now, let me show you a scene that used to only exist in science fiction novels!"

"That's right, it's a scene that only science fiction would dare to write about, something that has never existed in reality!"

"It is so dreamy that at the moment of its birth, it is hard to believe that it is real!"

Xu Shenxue kept the audience in suspense for a long time, and the audience, who had been listening for two hours and were a little numb, couldn't help but perk up.

On the live broadcast platforms of the press conferences on various platforms, a group of netizens who were just watching the show had their appetite whetted.

It sounds so mysterious, what on earth is this?
At this time, Xu Shenxue, captured by a high-definition camera, first unlocked his phone with his fingerprint, then took his hands off the phone and said softly to the phone on the table: "Xiao Yun, Xiao Yun!"

A magical scene appeared. The phone, which was placed on the table without any operation, suddenly lit up the screen. A slowly rotating white cloud appeared below the screen, and a female voice came out at the same time: "Xiaoyun is here, how can I help you?"

Xu Shenxue continued: "I'm a little unhappy today, let me tell you a joke!"

Xiaoyun: "Okay, I thought of a joke, there is a..."

Xu Shenxue continued the conversation: "Okay, now I don't want to listen to jokes anymore, help me check the weather!"

Xiaoyun: "According to the weather forecast, today... the weather is quite hot, so we should avoid the heat."

Xu Shenxue said: "I've run into some minor problems at work. Can you help me check the global smartphone sales rankings for last year?"

Xiaoyun: “Okay…” Then the screen showed a global smartphone sales ranking compiled by a certain media, with Zhiyun at the top!

Everyone was still a little stunned at this time... What the hell is this? It sounds like artificial intelligence? But this is impossible!

Even if there is any artificial intelligence, it is impossible for it to appear now.

But what is this thing that Xu Shenxue is demonstrating now?
At this time, Xu Shenxue continued to demonstrate: "I want to listen to some music, some soft and pure music!"

Xiaoyun: "Okay, I'll turn on the music for you and start playing the pure music playlist..."

Then, music started playing from the phone!

Xu Shenxue said: "I don't really want to listen to instrumental music, let's listen to a Chinese style song!"

Xiaoyun said, "Okay, now switch to the Chinese style playlist!"

Amid the shock of the crowd, Xu Shenxue said again: "Okay, turn off the music. I'm going back to the company now. Please help me plan the navigation route back to the company."

Xiaoyun: "Okay!"

Immediately, the phone automatically opened the system's built-in map, which is the AutoNavi map that Zhiyun acquired in full last year, and then automatically planned a navigation route!
At this time, Xu Shenxue did not choose to continue the conversation, but raised his head and looked around the audience!

"Now, please allow me to introduce to you the latest research result of our Zhiyun Technology's Intelligent Research Institute, the artificial intelligence system 'Xiaoyun'."

"It has a lot of technical principles that I don't even understand the terms for, so I don't really understand the details!"

"But my team of scientists told me that this little thing has the ability to learn, organize, and recognize. It can communicate with people through text or voice, and provide them with information and solutions!"

"For example, you can ask it to plan a navigation route home, play your favorite music, tell you a joke, or even chat with you!"

When people heard Xu Shenxue actually say that this thing was artificial intelligence, the scene exploded and many people stood up.

And on the Internet, it immediately caused an uproar!
Countless comments poured in!

Many small websites actually experienced slight lags due to too many comments at once!
One comment on one of the websites represents the feelings of many people: Holy shit…what am I seeing? Artificial intelligence, how is this possible?

"Is it my eyes that are blurry, or is this world crazy?"

"This is impossible, absolutely impossible. Artificial intelligence is a science fiction concept and cannot exist in reality!"

"Humanity is doomed. Artificial intelligence has emerged. Robots are going to rebel. Humanity is doomed."

There was a frenzy of discussion on the Internet, and there were also exclamations at the press conference. Many people even stood up... They couldn't believe their eyes.

This must be fake!

Xu Shenxue is bragging, Zhiyun Technology is cheating...

Xu Shenxue looked at everyone's reactions and the corners of his mouth curled up again!
Compared with the hardware of S11 Pro, this "Xiaoyun" is the core product of today's press conference, no doubt about it!

And just as Xu Shenxue said, this thing is not just a simple voice assistant, it is an artificial intelligence with learning, organizational and cognitive capabilities.

Serious AI!

The Intelligent Research Institute under Zhiyun Technology Group uses big data, based on deep learning, and uses server resources composed of countless high-end graphics cards to train AI!

The computing power resources consumed by those mining machines are nothing compared to the computing power resources consumed by this thing!
In order to train this thing, the institute spent more than 200 million US dollars, developed a large number of systems on its own, and established a server array composed of AI chips!

Zhiyun Semiconductor has even designed and developed an AI100 chip specifically for this thing. In terms of computing power alone, this AI chip is twice that of Nvidia's newly released top-level graphics card GTX 590. Most importantly, it has extremely amazing communication and memory.

This AI100 chip was specially designed for the AI ​​research and development and training needs of its own Intelligent Research Institute, and it has not even been announced to the public!
This thing, like the AI ​​algorithm, is currently kept highly confidential...The AI ​​Xiaoyun that people see now is just a display of results.

This AI Xiaoyun, if placed in the original time and space, might be the worst AI... Well, it can't actually do much. At most, it can search for some public information for you, provide navigation, tell simple jokes, and chat. It is still too stupid now.

But at this point in time, it is the ultimate bomb!
The undisputed king bomb!
4.7K, to create a crappy AI to scare us more than ten years ago!
