Black technology: a super empire spanning two worlds

Chapter 322 [Product Officially Open for Order]

The following day, September 1st arrived as scheduled.

Tens of thousands of consumers who decided to purchase the "Flowing Star Language" product opened the official website of Likang Technology early on. The product was available for order at 10:00 AM, while the AI ​​face-shaping system was launched two and a half hours earlier.

It's 7 a.m., and people are discussing it on major social media forums.

At 7:30 a.m., Likang Technology's official website launched its AI face-shaping system, and countless users immediately began to experience it.

Clearly, launching the AI ​​face-shaping system two and a half hours in advance was intended to allow consumers who were about to make a purchase to familiarize themselves with it beforehand, and to save their creations so they could place their orders directly at 10 a.m.

"Let's get started, let's get started..."

A young, single man in a certain city was immediately invigorated when he saw the official website's online store reload and a new page appear.

Clicking on the page to enter the character customization system immediately redirects you to another page window.

"It really feels a bit like creating a new character in a game," the guy chuckled to himself, before starting to study the AI ​​character creation system.

It is indeed very easy to get started, especially for those who have played online games. There is basically no barrier to entry, and even those who have never played online games will find it easy to pick up.

After two or three minutes, he basically figured out the AI ​​face-shaping system.

"If only the height could be adjusted..." he muttered to himself, staring at the window page. The net height of the female version of the Flowing Star Language lifelike doll is 170cm, and it cannot be changed; all of them are of the same height standard.

If the product can be customized according to the user's height preference, it is essentially a highly customized product. This also means that the standard size of the skeleton is not uniform, and many internal components need to be adjusted accordingly, making it impossible to carry out mass production on an assembly line.

Then it would be impossible to buy it for only 11299 RMB, as the production cost would skyrocket.

However, for consumers, this is a minor flaw compared to the overall merits. With this level of quality and technology, plus a full configuration priced under 2 yuan, what more could you ask for?

The default body shape set by Likang Technology is basically based on the most perfect proportions, which satisfies the vast majority of consumers and meets the aesthetic points of most people. Many people decide to choose the default body proportions and only focus on appearance.

"Huh? Not bad. Although the height and frame are movable, the three dimensions can be fine-tuned. Not bad at all." This guy quickly discovered that the official website provides several three-dimensional data levels for this lifelike doll, which users can combine and match according to their preferences.

Adjusting the measurements does not require adjusting the skeletal structure or height; it simply involves assembling and combining soft structures such as silicone gel.

Furthermore, this can also be mass-produced. For example, peach-shaped buttocks and D-cup breasts can be mass-produced and then assembled into a complete unit based on the data provided by the user.

This is thanks to the advanced technology of three-layer bionic skin. The gaps in the modular assembly are perfectly covered by the surface simulated skin, which not only ensures the aesthetics of the entire simulated body, but also takes into account cost reduction and efficiency improvement in mass production.

Regarding measurements, besides the officially default measurements...

There are 3 waist sizes to choose from, 3 hip sizes to choose from, and 5 bust sizes to choose from (A, B, C, D, E cups).

In terms of body shape, there are 5 waist shapes to choose from, such as double C waist and hourglass waist; 8 bust shapes to choose from, such as wide-set, spherical, and teardrop; and 6 hip shapes to choose from, such as peach and inverted V.

"Wow, so many combinations! This is practically semi-customized. Selling it for only 11299 is a loss. Brother Xiao, you're out of your mind, haha." The guy was pleasantly surprised; he hadn't expected such a wide range of options.

The "Flowing Star Language" lifelike doll product can not only be customized to look different from everyone, but now it seems it can also be customized to look different from everyone else – a truly unexpected surprise.

Xiao Yu dared to do this because he had enough confidence in the product's sales. A huge sales boom meant mass production was possible, thus reducing costs. Furthermore, it also benefited from a series of technological advancements and the pre-order, post-delivery model.

With real-time big data statistics, the production of certain components can be adjusted based on order volume, thereby avoiding situations where some components are in short supply while others result in large inventory backlogs.

Moreover, this AI face-shaping system is connected to the production line's big data database in real time. For example, if a consumer chooses a peach-shaped buttocks, this module component is so popular that it has already been sold out.

This information will be displayed in real time so that consumers know before they lock in their orders. If there is a later increase in production, are they willing to wait longer? If they are not willing to wait, they can choose other butt shapes as alternatives, or if they are sure that this butt shape has sold out and will not be produced again, they can only choose other alternatives or cancel their purchase.

In short, as long as the consumer's order is successfully submitted, it will definitely be delivered.

After a user submits an order, the system enters the backend and matches it against the production line's large database. If all modules have stock available, the match is successful, and the order submission will be displayed as successful.

If a component is found to be out of stock during the matching process, the order will fail to be submitted and the consumer who placed the order will be notified in real time that the component is out of stock and they need to select an alternative and submit the order again. This process continues until the matching is completed, the order is successfully submitted, the consumer completes the payment, the order data is locked, and the order can then enter the assembly stage, followed by delivery.

Users simply need to wait for delivery. During this period, they can also check their order progress using their order number. The difference between the displayed pre-delivery time and the actual time will be within 3 calendar days.

About ten minutes later, the guy selected his preferred body measurements.

Next, he started customizing the character's face, selecting the appearance settings. He opened the AI ​​face-customization assistant window, uploaded an image of a popular female protagonist from a hit Chinese animation, and typed: "[Just extract the female face model from the image for me.]"
A short while later, the AI ​​face-shaping assistant notified that the materials provided by the user involved copyright issues and could not be approved.

This was within his expectations, and he immediately replied with a edited text: [Then generate a similar appearance for me based on this material.]
After pressing the Enter key and waiting a moment, the guy exclaimed in surprise, "It really works!"

The AI ​​face-shaping system generated 15 similar facial features based on the user's description within one minute, and all of them were shown to be usable.

After a long while, the consumer selected the 11th face shape and made some minor adjustments to the facial features until he was satisfied, then submitted it again.

The backend system searched for about three seconds, and then a window popped up showing that it was available.

He saw a "Save to Favorites" option displayed next to him, and he decisively chose to save it.

"Finally done, just waiting to submit payment at 10 o'clock." The customer stretched, clicked into the favorites section, previewed the final image of his customized lifelike doll, and couldn't help but say: "Tsk tsk tsk, this figure and appearance are amazing, thank you Brother Xiao for making my dream come true, this money was well spent."

Let alone less than 2 yuan, even if it were 5 yuan, he would not hesitate to pay the money and would be happy to pay for it.

The preview image is the final product; the lifelike doll's appearance and physique are a perfect embodiment of his ultimate, ideal vision, and he couldn't be more satisfied.
After admiring it for a while, the consumer couldn't help but sigh.

There's no way such a perfect girl could exist in reality, and even if there were, I wouldn't be able to win her over. I can't help but feel grateful to live in an era of such rapid technological advancement.

As time went by, we waited for more than an hour, and it was almost 10 o'clock.

The consumer immediately perked up again, rubbing his hands together, ready to submit the order as soon as 10 o'clock arrived.

"It's time to test your hand speed!"
