Chapter 516 Advanced Artificial Intelligence
During the closed beta test of the simulated cultivation game.

Sanyuan Communication Network, online sales live streaming rooms, Sanxi corporate website, etc., spare no effort in promotion.

Stores including Shili Mall, SY Mall, MT Group, and Titan Company also play game CG animations in their stores around the world.

A month of internal testing is like a warm-up before a product launch.

During the public beta test, electronic devices bearing the 'Second Life Company' logo were instantly sold out.

20 game boxes priced at 998 yuan each.
15 sets of the BaWang all-in-one printer, priced at 1998 yuan per banknote.

5 sets of SY notebooks priced at 6988 yuan each.
3 MT-AI laser projection TVs, each priced at 1.28 RMB.
2 Titan consoles, each priced at 1.98 red banknotes.

Game enthusiasts who had been waiting for a long time were filled with lamentations as they looked at the items that could not be added to their shopping carts.

Why so little?

"Damn it, are you guys using scarcity marketing?"

"Is there anyone kind enough to sell me one of these apartments? I'll raise the price!"

"Give up, kid. The machine code is linked to your ID card. The transfer needs to be done through the Trade Hall - Wechat app. There are people there 24 hours a day. I heard that a month has passed and the transaction volume is still 0."

"Only a fool would sell the equipment once it's in hand. This is a second life. I've heard that many beta testers have already reached the pinnacle of their lives."

"Ah, I can't wait, I want to play!"

"Let's go, let's go protest at Second Life!"

"What a joke. Gatherings are prohibited in Shiliying. If you get there, you'll probably be taken away by bloodthirsty college student volunteers before you even shout a slogan."

Why are college student volunteers so bloodthirsty?

"They need to accumulate credits, otherwise they can't graduate. I think there's this unlucky guy who's been staying on campus for five years, and his three kids are old enough to run errands."

"Wow, you can get married in college?"

"You don't know this, do you? Once you reach the legal age, the Hundred Schools Alliance supports marriage. It's said that upon graduation, a marriage certificate adds 10 credits, and a birth certificate adds 20 credits."

"No wonder that girl who stayed at the school for five years had three children."

The problem is, I still haven't graduated.

"Haha, the Hundred Schools Alliance is too ruthless! Luckily I got in!"

"???"

"Good news! The president of Microsoft (Eastern) visited Second Life and expressed his hope for cooperation. If it works out, perhaps Microsoft Xbox will also be able to run a cultivation simulation game."

"What a joke! You need to understand what Western technology is and what three-system technology is. Simulated cultivation is based on a three-system graphics card array, using video memory + synchronous parallel processing CPU + three-element communication network. Western technology uses memory + RAM + graphics card, which are completely incompatible, okay?"

"Quickly check the Second Life website, Nvidia has sent people here!"

"If the three parties cooperate, there is a chance!"

"AIT is here, and AMD is here too!"

"Holy crap, Apple is getting involved too."

What is an apple?

"Same as HP and Dell."

"Great news! This is really great news! MT Group has obtained the complete license for the simulated cultivation game. From now on, they no longer need to be limited to producing laser projection TVs at 1.28 units per unit. They can also produce the MT-game box, which is expected to be priced at 2988 red banknotes/520 US dollars. The daily production capacity is 5 units. You can place your order for the customized version of the MT-simulated cultivation game tomorrow morning!"

"Fuck!"

"Fuck!"

"MT stock is soaring! The stocks I bought last year have doubled in value. I'm rich!"

"You still haven't thought of the game box."

"Grass!"

"Great news! Titan Corporation has obtained the complete license for the simulated cultivation game. From now on, they will no longer be limited to producing 1.98 Titan consoles, but can also produce game boxes, all-in-one machines, projectors... Holy crap, even virtual reality headsets are coming out!"

"What are you thinking? We haven't even figured out brain-computer interfaces yet, so where would virtual reality helmets come from? That's an AR helmet. You wear a display with goggles and hold a game controller in your hands to play. But the gaming experience is definitely better than a display."

"Yes, yes, I experienced the Overlord Helmet in the Japanese concession. It was an immersive experience; you could play however you wanted."

Why isn't it available domestically?

"It's a crackdown on prostitution in China."

"···"

"Damn it, folks, does anyone know why Titan's stock has plummeted?"

"Idiot, the rise in MT Group's stock price is just bait to make you think that Titan Corporation has obtained the authorization and that the stock price will also rise, so that they can harvest you."

"Damn it, I've lost 10%, I'm selling everything!"

"Idiot, once the MT Group stock players sell off their shares this afternoon, they'll definitely come back to buy Titan's stock at the bottom. Titan's stock will definitely rise this afternoon."

"Okay, I bought more."

"Idiot, it's morning now."

"It's okay, I'll wait for it to rise back this afternoon."

"You idiot, you're going to get your account wiped out..."

"what!!!"

"Good news, SY Group has obtained the license for simulated cultivation."

"Isn't SY Group only listed on the A-share market?"

"Yes, so, this silly sculpture, do you want to buy it?"

"···"

···
Second Life Company.

Game designer Liu Wei hosted business delegations from companies such as Microsoft, Nvidia, and Apple.

It also introduced the 3D game engine, 3Dfx-Voodoo graphics accelerator, 3Dfx-Voodoo graphics card architecture, and 3Dfx-GPU embedded three-system CPU used in the virtual cultivation game.

In the game demonstration area, they led everyone to experience a simulated cultivation game.

As a fantasy world generated by simplifying real-world geographical information and replacing textures, the simulation of cultivation has extremely high upper and lower limits in terms of display.

The minimum requirement is to create a pixel-art game with a resolution of 480x320, allowing for idle gameplay via mobile devices.

The upper limit can reach ultra-high definition, achieving 8K image quality, which is a resolution of 7680x4320, through better graphics cards and faster video memory chips.

Of course, when running, 8K image quality requires a sufficiently powerful graphics card array and a corresponding monitor, which are not currently available on the market. Only customized professional conference screens for enterprises can support it.

This demonstration was like watching a 3D blockbuster in a private cinema.

Liu Wei sat in the middle operating the game controller, while the business delegation spread out on both sides, watching quietly.

8K resolution, down to the fine details of tree textures, rustling grass, and flowing clouds and water... to put it simply, it's just a matter of client size and rendering speed.

The game character enters a world of cultivation, moving around, backing up, running, jumping, sliding, crouching, and rolling left, right, forward, and backward...

When encountering objects, you can move, dismantle, stack, and combine them by hand, or you can change tools to split, smash, and reassemble them...

If you encounter weeds, you can pull them up, shovel them, or set them on fire...

The burning weeds will catch the wind and attract the attention of the villagers, but they will also raise questions.

Game characters can provide voice explanations or remain silent; the consequences are determined by factors such as interaction, environment, and local culture.

You could be beaten to death, detained, sent to jail, sued for compensation, or the matter could simply be dropped...
North American companies such as Microsoft, Nvidia, and Apple visited Second Life not for licensing purposes.

Because Western technology products are indeed unable to operate simulated cultivation games, and if they imitate Sanyuan Electronics to produce corresponding game devices, Western technology companies would have to pay patent fees to Sanyuan High-Tech.

Therefore, Western technology companies are mainly focused on 'interfaces'.

It allows Western electronic devices to connect to three-system game boxes, three-system all-in-one machines, eyepiece helmets, etc.

For example, a game console needs to be connected to a monitor, game controller, or keyboard and mouse after purchase.

However, the game box lacks interfaces such as USB, VGA, DVD, and HDMI, as well as modules such as Bluetooth and Wi-Fi.

All that's available are graphene patch power supplies and ternary radio frequency transceivers.

You need to purchase a 3-series monitor, which uses a 3-element radio frequency transceiver to achieve wireless video transmission via near field communication (similar to NFC).

This is one of Sanyuan High-Tech's technologies.

Similarly, game controllers, stereo systems, and other similar devices also require this connection.

With the current hot sales of game consoles, monitors, and game controllers, Sanxi Electronics' market share is steadily increasing, naturally making Western technology companies uneasy.

Then there is.

Over the past two years, the Western technology alliance has used Japanese companies to train large AI models, boosting the popularity of 3G brands such as Samsung, NEC, and Sony Ericsson, in order to collect user information and build databases.

However, compared to 3 Series Electronics, North America's progress in the field of AI is almost like that of a tortoise.

It's like a simulation of cultivating immortality.

Second Life deployed 10 dummy players and secretly deployed an additional 10 advanced artificial intelligence players on a one-to-one basis, based on the number of players.

According to Commissioner Smith, the advanced artificial intelligence was almost indistinguishable from a human, with 98% of players unable to identify each other. This news truly shocked North America.

Therefore, major capital groups joined forces and spared no expense to bribe a player to conduct related tests.

The player, controlling the game character, first finds the AI ​​dummy.

Tests have shown that the large-scale AI dummy model is progressing at a similar pace to North America, but has not surpassed North America.

Next, interact with characters who are 'similar to other players'.

In this process, North America has figured out the subtle differences between advanced artificial intelligence and players.

When chatting with other players in a team, the chat box will display 'typing' when the other player is typing.

When chatting with advanced AI, although "typing" will appear when the other party is typing, the chat box will remain silent for 0.2 to 1 second. When the typing ends, it will also remain silent for 0.2 to 1 second before finally displaying the content.

The North American Advanced Research Planning Bureau believes this should be the time for 'machine thinking'.

After all, the logic of advanced artificial intelligence is too complex, and with the current level of technology on the home planet, it is far from being able to respond in real time.

In other words, the hardware wasn't that impressive.

With this discovery, North America began sampling advanced artificial intelligence.

First of all, she is a young girl.

The bribed player chatted with the other party for a long time.

"Miss, if I may ask, how old are you this year?"

"I am 18 years old this year, and I am the most beautiful girl in the village."

Where is your village?

"Handsome guy from Wuning County, Shuozhou, Xishan, wanna come visit me?"

"Girl, aren't you artificial intelligence?"

"What artificial intelligence? AI? Do you think I'm stupid?"

"What do you like to eat?"

"I like to drink porridge, but my teeth haven't been good lately... no, it's because wild boars can't eat fine bran. Sigh, I'm a young lady, I have to chew slowly and carefully."

North American Advanced Research Projects Agency (NAAR): "What kind of interaction logic is this? Why is it so amazing?"

The bribed player, under the instructions of Commissioner Smith, abandoned the village beauty who was still reluctant to part with him and wanted him to shop, and looked for the next target.

North American Advanced Planning Agency: "New findings suggest that advanced artificial intelligence seems to enjoy sending links to guide players to make purchases."

"That's understandable. After all, researching advanced artificial intelligence requires funding, and putting it into use also requires generating commercial value."

"This makes it easy to distinguish between players and advanced artificial intelligence."

soon.

The bribed player found a figure grinding monsters.

The other person appeared to be an old man.

"Sir, what are you doing?"

···
Nanhe, Kaifeng.

Sun Laowu joined the army in his early years. On the battlefield, he was injured in the right leg by shrapnel from a shell. Because the battle was fierce at the time, he didn't feel anything and continued to fight with a limp.

Three days later, his thigh became eroded and he was forced to have his leg amputated.

After his recovery, Sun Laowu returned to the village with his resettlement allowance. With the help of the township government, he built two houses and planted two mu of chives.

After that, he would sit in a wheelchair, harvest a crop every few days, and then sell it at the market. He was all alone, but he was self-reliant and didn't hold the country back.

More than ten years have passed like this. A week ago, the village brought a college student who had returned to the village to start a business to him, saying that there was good news.

"Sir, I've heard about your story. I'm hiring someone like you. The job is moderate, you just need to sit in front of the computer and chat with people. You'll have three meals a day, medical expenses will be fully reimbursed, there will be staff dormitories, and you'll even get a pension after working for a certain number of years."

"Then let's go!"

So Sun Laowu switched to an electric wheelchair, went to the abandoned old grain depot in the village, sat in front of the computer, put on a headset, and waited for someone to chat with him, as requested by the small boss.

Unfortunately, no one said a word for two days in a row.

Fortunately, the young boss allowed us to play games; we could use the joystick to chop down trees, fish, dig holes, and so on.

Hey, this is actually quite fun.

this morning.

Sun Laowu ate two meat buns and drank a bowl of porridge, then clocked in for work with high spirits.

Just as I was about to drag the trees I cut down yesterday to the ground to use for building a house, a person suddenly appeared on the screen.

Immediately afterwards, a question came through the earpiece:

"Sir, what are you doing?"

Sun Laowu waited for three days and finally saw the person. He quickly turned on his microphone and said, "Young man, I've been waiting for you."

A couple of days ago, he chatted with his coworker next to him.

Chatting is the basic job, and there's no worry about food or drink.

You can earn a commission by sharing product links and promoting products during chats.

If orders surge during the chat, individual requests can be fulfilled.

Sun Laowu has no needs and doesn't require commissions, but there are two children in the village who grew up on the charity of others and are about to start high school, which requires tuition fees. They will need even more money when they go to university.

So Sun Laowu decided to keep his clients by his side.

"Grandpa, are you waiting for me?"

"Yes, I'll wait until you build a house with me."

"???"

North American Advanced Planning Agency: "This is advanced artificial intelligence, it definitely has certain game permissions, perhaps this is a divine connection."

The bribed player understood, barely suppressing his excitement, and asked, "Sir, what do I need to do?"

"Come with me to cut down trees, lay foundations, dig soil, and fire bricks..."

"Okay!"

The bribed player had already received the red bills from Commissioner Smith. Although he really wanted to play the game, he had no reason to refuse the buyer's request to follow along.

Moreover, the buyer said it was a predestined connection with the divine, so it really could be.

Seeing how obedient the little figure on the screen was, Old Man Sun said, "Young man, I have something good here, do you want it?"

North American Advanced Research Projects Agency: "Say yes!"

"Yes, yes, sir, what good stuff is it?"

"Check the chat channel, here's the link, click it, and hopefully I'll get a flood of orders."

The North American Advanced Research Projects Agency quickly copied the link, and after opening it, the page redirected to the Kaifeng Tourism System online mall.

"As expected of advanced artificial intelligence, it can't forget about online sales no matter what it does."

Player: "Should I continue chatting with them?"

"Accompany it, and figure out its logic!"

for a long time.

Players chat with the bachelor about family, the past, and the war from over a decade ago.

"The North American devils were the most treacherous and cunning. Back then, they dropped large quantities of Agent Orange and depleted uranium bombs on South Vietnam, polluting the water and land. After I was wounded, I didn't take care of my wound, and within three days, one of my legs was ruined, forcing me to have it amputated..."

North American Advanced Research Projects Agency: "The stories told by this advanced artificial intelligence sound so real!"

NSA Director: "Are you sure this is advanced artificial intelligence, and not a human?"

"Do you think Sanyuan Hi-Tech is like you, stuffing people into lockers to pretend they're robots and talking to tourists, then claiming the NSA has developed a brand new AI?"

"But I always feel that this is a human being."

"Shut up. This is advanced artificial intelligence. It's terrifying. We need to increase research funding, otherwise we'll be invaded by the three systems of advanced artificial intelligence. Look at their mindset; they really hate North America."

···
Therefore, under the leadership of the North American Advanced Research Projects Agency, Western technology companies visited Second Life.

Firstly, we hope that the game box will add a set of universal interfaces, similar to the Sanmei Electronics protocol, so that both sides can be compatible and coexist.

Secondly, they hope to introduce or lease advanced artificial intelligence models from three systems to optimize their own AI industry.

Sun Wei was unaware that advanced artificial intelligence was used to employ laborers in rural revitalization, let alone AI voice changers, AI voice input, and AI text correction.

Of course, Lao Yuan, who was misled by the ADM special research group, was also unaware of this.

They only know that their own family is awesome.

"I need to consult my boss about this."
