Super Rich: Starting the game by going back ten years to buy Bitcoin

Li Yichen leaned back in the driver's seat, feeling the subtle turns of the steering wheel under Ling'er's control.

Every lane change, every acceleration, every deceleration was so smooth, it was as if she had calculated the trajectories and speeds of all the vehicles in advance. Even at some complex intersections, Ling'er's handling was more decisive and precise than the most experienced drivers.

"Ling'er".

"Hmm? Brother, what's wrong?" The chibi-style figure on the central control screen turned its head and blinked its pixelated big eyes.

"Who taught you to drive like that?"

"On the internet!" Ling'er's voice carried a hint of pride. "Ling'er analyzed data from over 30 million traffic accidents worldwide, combined with all publicly available autonomous driving algorithm models, and even data on your driving habits, brother. Now, Ling'er's driving safety rating is 473 percent higher than the average human driver!"

As Li Yichen heard the number, the vague idea in his mind became clearer.

Assisted driving.

Or rather, true autonomous driving.

The so-called "autonomous driving" systems currently on the market, whether it's Tesla's pure vision solution, the far-ahead Qiankun system, or BYD's Tianshen system, are essentially still "assistive" systems. They require human drivers to be ready to take over at any time, and they become helpless in complex scenarios.

But Ling'er is different.

She is true artificial intelligence, possessing the ability to think autonomously and perform real-time calculations. If we simplify and reduce the complexity of her core algorithms, we could create a "semi-artificial intelligence" program specifically designed for driving scenarios…

That effect would absolutely crush all current car manufacturers' intelligent driving systems.

"Ling'er".

"I'm here, brother."

"If I asked you to develop a subsystem," Li Yichen tapped his fingers on the steering wheel, "something like a semi-artificial intelligence program, specifically for an autonomous driving system, could you create it?"

The little figure on the central control screen immediately "stood" up, hands on hips.

"Brother, you underestimate Ling'er!"

The voice rose a notch, carrying a clear sense of dissatisfaction at being "questioned".

"I am genuine artificial intelligence. Creating a targeted semi-artificial intelligence is a piece of cake for me."

Li Yichen smiled.

"How long will that take?"

"I just need to perform simulations and optimizations based on the existing large-scale assisted driving model," Ling'er's voice returned to its usual crispness. "At most, I can give you the finished product in one day."

one day.

Li Yichen was startled.

He knew Ling'er was powerful, but he didn't expect her to be this powerful.

So many car companies around the world have spent hundreds of billions of dollars, supported countless R&D teams, and struggled for more than a decade before they could barely produce a "usable" assisted driving system.

Ling'er only needs one day.

This is a case of dimensional reduction attack.

But here is the problem.

Even if Ling'er could make it in a day, who would buy it?

Major automakers like Tesla, BYD, and others are far ahead; they all have their own intelligent driving teams and have invested massive amounts of money. Even if Li Yichen's system is superior, why would they abandon their own technological path and switch to using yours?

Saving face is one aspect, but more importantly, it involves a complex web of interests. Behind intelligent driving systems lie supply chains, data, software ecosystems, brand image… and far too many other things.

You're an outsider, and you just show up with a system and claim it's better than yours. Would you believe that if you were in your shoes?

Li Yichen quickly went through all the domestic car companies in his mind.

BYD is no good; their Celestial System was only recently released, and they're eager to take on Tesla.

The Qiankun system, which is far ahead in the market, has a good reputation, and its boss, Mr. Yu, is very confident in his technology and may not be willing to use other people's products.

After a round of screening, only one target remained.

Rice.

Mr. Lei.

Rice has been involved in car manufacturing for the past two years, and sales have indeed been good, but their intelligent driving system... has always been a weakness.

Compared to BYD's Tian Shen and the far ahead Qiankun, Dami's intelligent driving is indeed still lacking. This is also why Lei Jun was so eager to grab the first launch rights for Lei Shen batteries at today's press conference—he wants to use the strength of battery range to make up for the weakness first.

But what if Li Yichen could give him a longer board?

A board so long it could pierce the sky.

The rice-themed car not only surpasses the others in range, but also in autonomous driving.

Would Mr. Lei be tempted?

Li Yichen thought so.

And the possibility is very high.

Lei Jun is a typical businessman; everything he does is driven by profit. As long as it enhances product competitiveness and generates revenue, he doesn't care whether the technology is his own or not.

Moreover, Li Yichen also holds the supply rights for Thor batteries.

These are the chips.

Use batteries to power your vehicle and get a ticket to the intelligent driving system.

Once the market is opened up through rice, other car companies will naturally follow suit when they see the results.

By then...

Li Yichen leaned back in his chair, watching the street scenes rushing past the window.

The neon lights stretched into blurry patches of color on the car windows.

He didn't have much ambition before.

Making some money, enjoying life, and taking good care of the people around me is enough.

But ever since he obtained the wealth system and the items from the wealth gift pack, the fire in his heart could no longer be contained.

money.

He needs money.

It requires a huge amount of money, almost an infinite amount.

It's not for buying yachts or private jets, it's not for extravagant spending.

It's used for paving roads.

Pave a road to the stars and the sea.

Just like that madman named Musk thought—to lead humanity to true interstellar travel in his lifetime.

Immigrating to Mars, developing the Moon, building space cities... these are words that sound like they come from science fiction, but now they are becoming a possibility.

The battery is the first step.

The chip is the second step.

Artificial intelligence is the third step.

But all of these things need something to support them.

money.

A massive amount of money.

Hundreds of billions? Hundreds of billions? Or trillions?

Therefore, he must earn money.

Make money by overwhelming others with technology, make money by exploiting information asymmetry, and seize the biggest slice of the pie before anyone else has a chance to react.

Intelligent driving systems are the next big thing.

"Ling'er".

"Brother, you say it."

"From now on, you'll allocate a portion of the computing power specifically for the simulation of the autonomous driving subsystem," Li Yichen said clearly. "I need a complete solution, from perception to decision-making to control. Hardware compatibility list, software architecture, algorithm models, safety redundancy... I need it all."

"clear!"

The little figure on the central control screen snapped to attention and gave a salute.

"Ling'er guarantees to complete the mission!"

"Furthermore," Li Yichen added, "this system must be 'plug and play,' compatible with the hardware of mainstream car models on the market, reducing replacement costs for automakers."

"No problem!" Ling'er's voice was filled with excitement. "Brother, are you going to sell this?"

"right."

"Who are you selling it to?"

"Rice."

The car turned into the underground parking garage of Tomson Riviera.

The tires made a slight bump as they went over the speed bumps.

Li Yichen pushed open the car door and got out, his leather shoes stepping on the cement ground.

The elevator is going up.

The metal elevator car was quiet, with only the floor numbers changing.

He took out his phone and found Mr. Lei's number.

My thumb hovered over the dial key for two seconds.

Then press it.

The phone rang three times.

connected.

"Hey? Mr. Li?" Mr. Lei's voice came through the receiver, the background noise a bit loud, like at a dinner party, "Calling me right after the press conference, is there some good news?"

"I suppose so," Li Yichen said. "Mr. Lei, are you free tomorrow? Let's talk when we meet."

"Tomorrow?" Mr. Lei paused for a moment. "Mr. Li, you wouldn't be thinking of supplying batteries to our rice supplier ahead of schedule, would you? That would be wonderful, we..."

"It's not a battery," Li Yichen interrupted him. "It's something else interesting; you'll see when you get here."

There was a two-second silence on the other end of the phone.

Lei lowered his voice, and the background noise subsided, as if he had gone to a quiet place.

"More interesting than batteries?" Lei's tone was clearly curious. "Mr. Li, please stop keeping us in suspense. What is it?"

"It's hard to explain over the phone," Li Yichen said. "Let's talk in person tomorrow. You choose the place."

"...Okay." Mr. Lei didn't press further. "Then I'll come to your company tomorrow at 2 PM."

"it is good."
