Agriculture Maniac

Chapter 520 Game Live Streaming, Sanyuan Foods

9 month 17 number.

Meihekou Development Zone.

Four years have passed since Sanyuan Agriculture invested here.

The rapid changes brought about by massive capital have completely erased the traces of the previous era, making this place the most prominent international metropolis in the Far East.

If you were to visit Changbai Mountain, you would see a comprehensive transportation network, advanced rail infrastructure, towering skyscrapers, a winding mountain road extending to the Fourth Ring Road, endless factory workshops, a luxurious and imposing sports center, and a brightly lit international airport day and night…

As of mid-05, its industrial structure mainly included: agricultural product processing, food processing, aquatic product processing, seafood processing, livestock processing, metal smelting, metal refining, metal processing, deep metal processing, heavy equipment manufacturing, high-precision mold manufacturing, ship component manufacturing, building materials production, timber processing, furniture manufacturing, crude oil refining, crude oil trading, global mineral trading, global online sales economy, Asia-Pacific grain trade…

If calculated using GDP, Meihekou could easily rank among the top ten globally, even surpassing Beijing and Shanghai, second only to Tokyo's 1.48 trillion and New York's 0.99 trillion.

However, because the internal circulation includes too many free services, such as free food and clothing, free education, free medical care, free childcare, free marriage, free gas, free repairs, free after-sales service, etc., the GDP is seriously distorted. Since 03, this place, like Shiliying, has started to adopt independent accounting, so there is no GDP.

8 o'clock in the morning.

Far East Trading Company.

Game streamer Feng Lei, as usual, drove his BMW 3 Series to Building B of the live streaming building, which was being expanded in the development zone during Yangrong's tenure as chairman.

She is 26 years old this year, graduated from Dongbei University of Finance and Economics, and used to be an accountant.

Four years ago, I was recruited by Boss Yu to work as a cashier.

After several twists and turns, perhaps because he liked playing with electronic products, perhaps because he had a nice voice, or perhaps because he was quite handsome, he was transferred to the online sales department to work as a live streamer.

Just then, Far East Trading Company followed the reform of Meihekou Development Zone and was reorganized into a collective ownership system. The salaries of all positions in the company were unified, and the benefits were based on the three systems.

With the attitude of "giving it a try and not losing my job," Feng Lei started his live streaming career.

The job mainly includes: disassembling the three-system electronic components, disassembling the three-system terminals, reviewing the three-system games, analyzing the differences between the three-system games and traditional games, and analyzing the three-system Chinese system architecture…

I spend four hours live streaming in the morning, four hours studying in the afternoon, and playing games or attending night school to enhance my knowledge in the evening. It's a pretty relaxed and comfortable day.

Two years ago, under duress from the factory's matchmaking system, he married a feisty and beautiful woman. The woman did not ask for a dowry, the company provided a 160-square-meter employee apartment, and the couple each received a BMW 3 Series. The wedding was sponsored by the 3 Series-Red and Black Group, and they did not spend a penny from beginning to end.

The year they got married, the couple couldn't have a child, and were punished by their company by having to run 2000 meters every day.

After working hard last year, my daughter is now 7 months old.

Before the child is one and a half years old, the company arranges a postpartum nanny to stay at your home free of charge. During this period, there is no need to worry about the nanny abusing the child, because everyone is a member of the team.

After the child turns one and a half years old, the company will arrange daycare, early childhood education classes, primary school, and junior high school free of charge.

After graduating from junior high school, the company will assign you to a teaching position based on your grades, which means you will learn and familiarize yourself with the job at the same time.

Upon high school graduation, the company will arrange for students to pursue further studies in the Hundred Schools Alliance based on their grades, either becoming a technician → technician or a bachelor → researcher.

By entrusting education to the collective, he and his wife, after get off work, primarily focus on fostering mother-daughter and father-daughter relationships, ensuring family harmony, and leading to a happy and fulfilling life.

8:10 pm.

Feng Lei arrived at the company from the underground parking lot. Instead of using the newly launched remote check-in feature on the employee card, he greeted the robot at the entrance.

"Hi, good morning, Brother Yuan."

"Good morning, Xiao Feng. Yesterday afternoon, while I was inspecting the park's surveillance system, I ran into Aunt Li in the staff garden with your daughter out for some fresh air. I found your daughter to be getting cuter and cuter."

"That's right, don't you even know whose child it is?"

The one-person-one-machine dialogue has ended, and the check-in in the background has been successful.

And then walk up the mountain to the building.

After moving to the live streaming building, the area of ​​a single live streaming room has expanded to 30 square meters.

The interior design style also references the live stream content, officially moving towards standardization.

At this moment.

Although it was not yet 8:30, and there was still a long time before the 9 o'clock start time, the self-disciplined live streamers had almost all arrived at their posts.

Feng Lei arrived at his room 315, took out his SY handheld device, synchronized the data, and checked today's work topic: promoting simulated cultivation.

This is a task assigned by the Second Life planning team, which includes equipment and an account.

Once the live stream begins, it will be pushed to all users worldwide who have the 3 Series app installed via the 3D communication network and the global internet.

The requirement is to attract as much attention as possible and promote Sanyuan Foods at the appropriate time.

This isn't difficult.

Because of its internal testing and the gimmick of redeeming hamburgers and drinks, the simulation of cultivating immortality has already become famous worldwide and has gained billions of views.

Recently, in particular, the game's art style has changed, and there's a hint of it being overused and misused, which has further stimulated overseas players and attracted more attention.

If people are paying attention, you can naturally sell your goods.

So the problem isn't a lack of game equipment; it's that the game developers don't want to supply it.

This is done to whet players' appetites, attract them to watch the live stream, and then take the opportunity to sell products.

After summarizing, Feng Lei immediately had an idea and adjusted the layout of the live broadcast room.

8 points.

His scheduled live streams to warm up the audience consisted of chatting with online fans.

"Old Feng, what are you planning to dismantle today?"

"Brother Feng, I want to watch your live stream of simulating immortal cultivation."

"I want, too!"

Feng Lei: "Coincidentally, Shiliying arranged a live-streaming task, requiring us to enter a simulated cultivation world, and they even provided us with equipment and an account."

"666!"

"Let's get started, I can't wait!"

Feng Lei immediately took out the cardboard box that Second Life Company had sent.

"Brothers, compared to SY, MT, Titan, and those domestic brands, Second Life's original equipment is of superior quality."

"Old Feng, why does the forum say that all game consoles are centrally produced by Sanxi Electronics Factory, then distributed to various brand manufacturers for assembly, and then have their respective logos sprayed on and their own boot-up ads inserted?"

“Those are products manufactured by authorized OEMs. Mine is jointly produced by Second Life Company and Sanyuan High-Tech, just like the original factory, and it’s all unique… Look at this metal casing, there are no screws, no gaps, and the whole thing looks like it’s made of nature.”

"Damn, I have an MT game box. Although it looks the same as yours and both have metal shells, the workmanship is really different. Mine has screws on the bottom, and you can insert a piece of cardboard through the gap."

Feng Lei lowered his voice, "My classmate works at Sanyuan High-Tech. He was on vacation recently and told me a secret that's not exactly a secret. He said that Sanyuan products have two production systems. One is the well-known Sanyuan Electronics Factory, Sanyuan Heavy Industry, Sanyuan Machinery, etc. Currently, 99% of Sanyuan products on the market originate from them. The other is Sanyuan Electronics Industry and Sanyuan High-Tech, which mainly supply the factory. All the products they produce are high-quality. Only the surplus is sold to outsiders."

"Yes, yes, yes, it's not just electronics, it's the same for daily necessities, clothing and shoes. Once I went to Shiliying and found a lot of people collecting junk in the back street of Shili Shopping Mall, so I went over to join in. Guess what that junk was? I was shocked, it was all surplus production capacity from the factory. The price was the same as the market price, but the quality... Let me put it this way, the same type of shower gel, the one on the market, the fragrance lasts for half a day at best after one shower, but the one from the factory can last for a week!"

"You haven't showered for a week?"

"You haven't showered for a week?"

"You haven't showered in a week?!"

"I'm on the grasslands, how can I wash every day in winter?"

Feng Lei coughed and said, "Don't bother this brother. Our living environments are different, so our bathing frequency is definitely different. When I was a kid, I was lucky if I bathed once a month in winter. Anyway, before we end the live stream today, I'd like to apply to unbind this device and draw one lucky audience member on the spot to receive it for free, including the account."

"Old Feng is so generous!"

"666!"

"Live stream begins!"

Seeing the online viewership soar, Feng Lei immediately plugged in the power and monitor, and logged into the game using the authorized account provided by Second Life Company.

next second.

A chivalrous young man appeared before my eyes.

Character name: Xiao Sanyuan.

"Could this be Chairman Yu's account number?"

As Feng Lei spoke, he brought up the character panel.

Specialization:

Swimming (rivers and lakes) → Crossing (great rivers and seas) → Water Escape (technique)

→Water diversion →Water control (technique) →Water intake →Water repair (profession)

Hunting (small and medium-sized mammals) → Fighting (large wild animals) → Combat (skills)

↓

Archery, knife skills, swordsmanship, blunt weapons, long-handled weapons...

Lighting a fire → lighting a stove → refining elixirs (art).

↓

Ignition → Fire Control (Technique)
↓

Fire Absorption → Fire Cultivation (Profession).

Online audience:

"It really is Chairman Yu's account number."

"The data must have been modified in the backend!"

"It's Chairman Yu's account. It must be an internal test account. After all, Chairman Yu is very responsible. He has to experience everything before deciding whether to put it into production. That's called being responsible."

"Stop bragging, Xiao Yu didn't make it into the manned spaceflight program."

"Quiet down, can't we just watch the live stream properly? Seriously, the picture quality is so smooth!"

"Why isn't my MT game box as smooth and fluid?" "I already said that theirs is the internal version, yours is the export version."

"Makes sense!"

"My goodness, is the career system really that complicated?"

"It's not too complicated; it's all about going from basic to proficiency, and then to specialization."

"With so many skills, how do I use them?"

"You'll understand once you play it."

"With the AI-assisted system, you don't need to operate it yourself. It's like there's a river in front of you. You run to it and it automatically swims across. While swimming, you press the forward key and adjust the view downwards to automatically dive or adjust the character's balance. You can even use light-footed water walking... Once you're familiar with the controls, you'll discover what it means to be free as a bird in the sky and leap freely as a fish in the sea. This game is so free."

"Look at what Lao Feng is doing."

In the scene, the game character starts running from the grass, reaches the foot of the mountain, bends his knees and jumps, leaps across the walls, then twists and turns, jumps onto a crooked tree, and lightly leaps again, using his light-footed skill to dart across the top of the forest, before jumping into the river, leaving a trail of ripples on the water...

They only began to eat when they were completely exhausted.

"I love it! I love it!"

"What the hell is this game?"

"I feel like I could play like this forever!"

Feng Lei: "My goodness, with the built-in AI assistance, the operation is really smooth. In particular, the AI ​​will automatically correct the landing point, so it won't make you feel awkward. This game is really great. I regret saying that I would draw lucky viewers and give away game boxes for free."

"If I could buy it, I wouldn't sell it even if my parents beat me to death!"

"Old Feng, Little Yu's account is a master of all professions! Hurry, I want to see the manual Peace World!"

"Stop joking, this is a fantasy game!"

"No, no, no, the style has changed. Those old men from Northeast China started the Age of Exploration in order to go to the Japanese islands, and they even achieved something."

"The group of madmen who went on the westward expedition were even more outrageous. They directly brought Eastern civilization into the steam age, creating steam tanks, steam airships, and steam trains. It's just that the designs of these industrial devices were a bit strange."

"What you're saying isn't even that outrageous. Closed beta testers are preparing for the Eastern Kingdom in the game. It's said that they'll set up compounds based on townships, counties, cities, and provinces, and there will not only be an initiation ceremony but also the recruitment of legions."

"666!"

"Don't the higher-ups care?"

"I don't know, anyway, no one stopped me."

"Stop my ass! A while ago it was revealed that advanced artificial intelligence was actually old men and women in disguise. You think those old men and women were all from the countryside? No, 160,000 to 170,000 of them were from nursing homes, specifically those affiliated with the Central Hospital. Many of them were retired, some with frightening identities, some with frightening wealth, and some with frightening minds."

"Stop kidding, I want to play games. Which godfather can provide me with a way to do that?"

"Get lost, there isn't any."

"Look, Lao Feng, the wooden bicycle is coming out!"

"666!"

"Haven't you guys noticed? This game's Unreal Engine is really amazing; it allows you to freely combine items."

“I discovered it a long time ago. My biggest worry now is whether the West will steal and copy this game.”

"You're overthinking it. Western technology is completely different from the three-system technology."

While operating the game character to entertain the online audience, Feng Lei also started his commentary, which he was good at: "Let's start by analyzing the hardware."

"Western servers are essentially computers, and computers have limits on their CPU, memory, storage, and bandwidth."

"Just like a restaurant kitchen, the space is 20 square meters, with a maximum of two stoves, which can only accommodate two chefs. There is a maximum of one serving outlet, and the number of dishes that can be served within a fixed time is limited. If 1000 orders are arranged in an hour, even if two chefs work themselves to death, they still can't finish it."

"Therefore, we need to expand the space, set up more stoves, arrange more cooks, and open up more outlets for serving dishes."

"However, the building structure limits the space planning. A floor is only so big, and a building is only so tall. There can't be too many elevators and stairs, let alone put all the stoves and cooks together."

"Therefore, concepts such as architecture, partitioning, cross-server, and lines came into being."

"For example, rack servers, tower servers, and blade servers."

"For example, the Telecom District, the Netcom District, the Dongshan District, and the Beihe District."

"For example, Telecom Zone 1 (server) and Telecom Zone 2 (server)."

"For example, Telecom Zone 1 Line 1, Telecom Zone 2 Line 2."

"Due to limitations in hardware capacity and server bandwidth, traditional servers can accommodate a maximum of 2000 people, while customized servers can accommodate a maximum of 1 people."

"Furthermore, regardless of whether it's a regional game or a cross-server game, the game data cannot be synchronized unless the game operator migrates the data together and merges it, using only one server."

"The essence of the three-system technology is a graphics card matrix. Each graphics card unit represents a coordinate and can form a storage module that exists in the cloud through the three-element communication network."

"At this time, the concept of the kitchen was downplayed (as a processor), and central restaurants for centralized distribution emerged."

"That is, the Hanging Gardens-Supercomputer."

"Users are connected to the cloud, just like users have a personal space. If they want to eat a dish, they can download it directly from the cloud. If the dish is not available in the cloud, the central restaurant will process it on-site and then transmit it to the user through the cloud."

"In this process, users can communicate with each other, publicly available information in the cloud can be shared, and the central processing unit can learn on its own to speed up computation."

"The more users there are, the larger the cloud becomes. With the two connected by the network, all orders are processed synchronously and in parallel, without the need for partitioning or cross-server operations, and there is virtually no upper limit."

"Therefore, we have three-system terminals, three-element communication networks, graphics card matrix (database), and three-system central processing units."

"Based on this."

"Because Second Life is not a professional game company, and it doesn't have many professional technical personnel."

"In order to save time and effort, Sanyuan High-Tech directly replicated the real geographic information system, along with dynamic weather system, public resource distribution map, and real-time monitoring of agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and fishery, and simplified it into a game map."

"In technical terms, it's also called a game engine."

"Then we introduced gravity, inertia, rendering, lighting, real-time visuals, human interaction logic, etc., removed modern construction, simplified the map, and replaced it with resources accumulated by the three companies over the years."

"Including ancient architectural models, clothing factory design drafts, combat system explosion effects, pharmaceutical factory publicly available formulas, and ternary heavy industry synthesis and processing formulas, etc."

"This ultimately constitutes a simulated cultivation of immortality."

"Player characters appear in the game like icons on a navigation map, and can move around freely."

Swimming, climbing, logging, mining, firewood making, construction, alchemy, talisman drawing, hunting, cultivation...

"Due to the rules of the game, those who can't swim will drown, those who can't climb will fall to their deaths, those who can't hunt will be killed by large animals, those in a fire will be suffocated or burned to death, and those caught in a rolling boulder will be crushed to death..."

"Therefore, players are very vulnerable in the early stages. Even if they accumulate various resources and spend three real-world years to advance to the Golden Core stage, they still cannot avoid natural disasters and man-made calamities."

"It is precisely because of this, coupled with the existence of resources, that some big shots have realized that cultivating immortality is not the traditional way of grinding monsters and leveling up, nor is it about idling day and night, but rather about wealth, companions, methods, and land."

"Or rather, it's about seizing resources, seizing territory, and seizing wealth."

"Therefore, the most urgent task is not to cultivate to the current version's maximum level - Foundation Establishment, but to use all available resources to frantically grab resources. Otherwise, the competition will become increasingly fierce in the later stages, especially since there are the most players from the East. Once resources are insufficient, it will lower the growth ceiling."

"Thus, westward expeditions and eastward crossings occurred, and perhaps soon northward and southward migrations will also occur. Of course, Southeast Asia is our ally, and the southward migration will be a grand gathering to share information and jointly develop resources."

Online audience:

"Old Feng's analysis is spot on."

"As expected of a professional!"

Feng Lei glanced at the 3755 million online viewership and said, "Brothers, enough with the formalities. The newly launched Sanyuan sandwich chocolates, Sanyuan semi-finished coconut milk, grain-fed beef snowflake set meals, and Christmas Island cod are all 8% off. Don't miss out! Let's eat, drink, and chat!"

After a while.

"Old Feng, your analysis is spot on. The problem is, apart from the desire to win, this game shouldn't be able to affect reality. It's like Europe, where there aren't enough devices and not many players. If you come and take my resources, I can just quit playing."

Feng Lei: "When the number of players online daily exceeds 1 million, you will find that there are business opportunities everywhere in this game, which can completely influence the real-world business landscape."

"When the number of players online daily exceeds 10 billion, you will find that the game has formed a real virtual society with demand, supply, war, and consumption, almost in line with reality."

Feng Lei originally intended to say, "When the whole world is discussing this game, it becomes a form of cultural invasion and ideological invasion," but upon reconsidering, he immediately swallowed it back.

Wait until the 4-hour live stream ends.

At lunchtime, a line of welcoming cars bearing the South Korean flag drove into the parking lot of the Far East Trading Company headquarters building.

Feng Lei looked curiously at the AI ​​robot at the door of the room.

It's still Brother Yuan.

Or rather, when he converses with an AI robot, the artificial intelligence that is activated is his personal AI.

Like a robot that clocks in and out.

He called out to Brother Yuan, and the other person responded, telling him that he had seen his daughter.

When others sign in, they activate their own personal AI, but they can't summon Yuan Ge (a nickname), let alone know that his nanny, Li Sao, is taking a walk downstairs with her daughter.

This is the shared AI that Sanyuan Hi-Tech is currently testing.

Devices are shared, but accounts are independent.

"Brother Yuan, what brings those South Koreans here?"

"KS Group, which monopolizes energy in South Korea, hopes to acquire the license for a simulation game for $5 billion through Far East Trading Company, and split the profits from the game equipment 30/70, with them getting 30% and us getting 70%, and also secure the game equipment manufacturing contract."

"They've really gone all out."

"They also want to seize the Japanese islands ahead of time."

"How will Japan react to this?"

“The cultivation resources in each region are limited. If they are completely depleted, it means losing the late game. Japan is now starting to hesitate about whether to give up on entering the simulated cultivation game. After all, it is just a game. It would be a waste of money to import it.”

"It seems I need to analyze the situation for Japan."
