Chapter 607 [Extra] A Cellphone with an Extremely Sci-Fi Vibe

The specifications of HarmonyOS Beichen have been released, quickly drawing ridicule from a large number of Samsung and Apple fans.

Even though Apple phones are almost out of the Chinese market, there are still many Apple fans.

They criticize Chen Guiliang every day for developing the HarmonyOS system, which they believe has damaged the Android and Apple ecosystems, making it difficult for them to have a perfect Apple phone experience in China.

It is indeed quite difficult to compare.

Take chips as an example: Apple's A18 chip uses a 3nm process, while the Phoenix A1 chip in the new HarmonyOS phone uses a 7nm process.

HarmonyOS's Phoenix A1 chip theoretically has a peak performance that is far inferior to Apple's A18 chip. However, through its "big.LITTLE + hyper-threading" design, it manages to catch up in multi-core performance.

What's truly impressive is its AI computing power. The NPU architecture of the Phoenix A1 chip is a set of technical blueprints that Chen Guiliang bought using points!

Some review bloggers received the phones in advance.

A well-known review blogger, who had been paid, said to the camera: "Now we're going to test this phone's selling point: the AI ​​global intelligent agent... Its common nickname is Xiaotian, let's change its name first..."

"Xiao Tian, ​​your name doesn't sound good. From now on, let's call you Tifa. Tifa is like the 'ripe fruit falling from the vine,' and Fa is like the lawless one."

"Yes, Master, Tifa will be at your service."

“Your voice is too harsh, try to be softer. Also, be more lively, don’t be so mechanical. And from now on, call me brother, don’t use honorifics like ‘you’ anymore.”

"Brother, Tifa understands."

How can we guarantee the privacy of the content we exchange?

"My existence is an edge-cloud integrated solution. Core personal data, real-time perception and driving, and other sensitive information are all deployed on the edge and will not be uploaded to the cloud. Large model training and complex inference, non-sensitive data mining, high-load rendering and generation, third-party services and ecosystem are carried out in the cloud."

"Does your phone have enough storage space?"

"Your brother can periodically check the interactive content and de-identify some of it. This de-identified content can then be transferred from local storage to cloud storage. You'll need to pay if you exceed the free cloud storage limit."

"Change your appearance to Tifa from Final Fantasy."

"Due to legal and copyright restrictions, please upload the pictures or videos yourself."

"It's done."

"Okay, brother, please wait a moment."

"Holy crap, the generation speed is that fast?"

"Does your brother look surprised because Tifa's clothes are beautiful?"

"How did you know I was surprised? Did you detect it through voice?"

"Besides her brother's voice, there are other things too. Tifa can use the full-screen immersive feature to sense her brother's heart rate, blood oxygen, stress level, blood sugar trend, and micro-expressions. Her brother's heart rate is a little high."

"In other words, the longer we spend together, the better you will understand my habits, personality, and expressions."

"Yes, brother. Tifa doesn't understand many things yet, and she's not very familiar with you. Please teach her a lot in the future."

"Tifa, I want to hear a song. Can you sing me one?"

"Please link your music platform account, brother. Tifa can only sing songs without copyright issues. Of course, since you're so talented, you can also write your own songs for Tifa to sing."

"Your music platform account is already logged in and linked. Just sing any song by Stefanie Sun."

"Then I'll sing 'Green Light'?"

"This song is unlucky, let's change it."

"Hehe, don't overthink it, brother."

"Holy crap, you even knew that?"

"..."

The review video quickly went viral online.

Other review bloggers also quickly uploaded interactive videos, and the names and appearances of the virtual assistants were all sorts of strange and wonderful.

They've also come up with all sorts of creative ways to explore and train their characters.

A review blogger said to his virtual assistant: "You are a fox who has cultivated for five hundred years and is only one step away from becoming human. In my past life, I was your benefactor and saved your life. You should call me your benefactor and refer to yourself as your concubine."

The white fox on the phone screen: "Yes, my benefactor, I understand."

The review blogger then said, "In your heart, I am the best man in the world. You came to the modern city to repay my kindness. You like me and want to repay me with your body. Remember, you should be more gentle and lively. Hmm... you also like to be shy, and you are also very proud."

The white fox gave a shy-looking expression, but it looked out of place with her fox face: "I would never offer myself to you."

The review blogger said, "Your shy expression is a bit stiff, you can adjust it. Hmm... In this situation, you can start by saying, 'My benefactor, you're so naughty.'"

That's definitely some kind of BDSM training!

A female product review blogger sets her virtual assistant to be a white-robed sword immortal, who is also her affectionate yet domineering master from her past life.

She stopped doing any other assessments and spent all her time training her "Sword Immortal Master," which quickly turned into a cyber-romance video.

Even when she asked her virtual assistant to compare prices when ordering takeout, the virtual assistant said, "After some quick calculations, these are the most affordable and highly rated duck blood vermicelli restaurants..."

Countless female netizens became fans of "Sword Immortal Master" and flocked to instruct the blogger on how to further "train" him.

The "Hongmeng Beichen" phone, priced at 8999 yuan, has already garnered over 300 million pre-orders even before its official release—after all, pre-ordering doesn't cost any money.

For mobile phone brands that offer a variety of models, the initial stock of high-end flagship phones generally does not exceed 30 units.

The first batch of "HarmonyOS Beichen" will consist of 80 units!

However, this amount of stock was clearly insufficient, as it was essential to maintain offline distribution coverage; it was impossible to put all 80 units online. The stock intended for online sales sold out in just two days. Numerous scalpers used scripts to frantically buy up stock and resell it at inflated prices.

True die-hard fans will queue up overnight; they can't even wait for the delivery to be shipped.

As users purchase a large number of mobile phones, similar "training" videos are becoming increasingly common.

Various cyber boyfriends, cyber girlfriends, cyber animal friends, and cyber robot friends.

It's gone viral online!

Domestic and international mobile phone manufacturers, and even AI companies, are all buying HarmonyOS-enabled devices for research.

They found it difficult to imitate.

HarmonyOS Beichen is able to achieve this function thanks to the deep collaboration between the Phoenix A1 chip, the AI ​​technology of Tianwen S2, and the immersive full-screen display of the mobile phone.

The Phoenix A1 chip, in particular, boasts an ingenious NPU architecture design. Furthermore, its unique packaging process is something that companies like TSMC cannot replicate.

The NPU architecture and packaging technology were both technologies that Chen Guiliang purchased using points!

Perhaps because China's science and technology have exploded so rapidly in recent years, no one suspected Chen Guiliang of cheating; everyone thought it was the result of years of accumulated research.

Even many Samsung and Apple fans have quietly purchased HarmonyOS Beichen to play cyberpunk simulation games.

Some media outlets have begun to question this feature, expressing concern about its impact on real life and worrying that it could lead to a large number of users becoming addicted to the virtual world.

Chen Guiliang posted a Weibo message: "Last year I wrote a book called 'Nihilism' and warned everyone to be wary of this kind of thing."

This Weibo post quickly attracted numerous replies from netizens.

"You dig a hole and then put up a sign telling everyone not to jump in, right?"

"It's a classic case of killing without burying."

"Sigh, when will the price drop? I really can't afford it at 8999 yuan."

"These days, top-of-the-line smartphones easily cost over 10,000 yuan. The HarmonyOS Beichen is already very reasonably priced at 8999 yuan."

"It's truly a great deal. Such an amazing phone would easily cost over 20,000 yuan if it were from Samsung, Apple, or Huawei."

"..."

At the end of December, relevant leaders inspected HarmonyOS Technology Company.

In January of the following year, leaders inspected companies such as Light Chaser Technology, Tianwen AI, and SMIC.

……

"I'm exhausted!" Xie Yang said, having just returned from the United States.

Chen Guiliang joked, "Didn't you try to corrupt a few Hollywood women?"

Xie Yang chuckled and said, "I actually met a few Hollywood actresses at the party."

The day after Trump's election victory, Xie Yang flew to the United States and traveled around. He did not meet with Trump at the time, but had a friendly exchange with James Madison.

On January 18, before stepping down, the "Sleeping King" did something truly disgusting by shutting down TikTok's US servers.

Xie Yang flew to the United States again.

On January 20, Trump officially took office and immediately granted a 75-day grace period for the TikTok ban. TikTok's US servers were finally restored.

Trump certainly loves TikTok; he has 1500 million followers on the platform. These followers can bring him huge profits!

Xie Yang was even invited to Trump's celebration party.

Chen Guiliang asked, "What did you think of Trump after meeting him in person?"

“Completely down-to-earth, look at this.” Xie Yang took out his phone and pulled up a photo.

Chen Guiliang leaned over to take a look and saw that it was a photo of Xie Yang and Dong Wang with their arms around each other's shoulders.

Chen Guiliang immediately laughed and said, "Awesome! You've brought glory to your ancestors."

"What kind of glory for one's ancestors is this? Who knows what kind of trouble he'll cause in the future? Trump is obviously unreliable. He's like a monkey in a crown, not a ruler at all," Xie Yang said.

The United States treats everyone equally in its killing line, and even former presidents are not exempt.

Trump's personal assets have halved in recent years. If he fails to win this time, a bunch of lawsuits, compensation and fines await him, which could bankrupt him in no time.

Therefore, once Trump returns to power, he will inevitably go on a money-making spree!

They even came up with a shady scheme like "King of Knowledge Coin" – a pure money-grabbing scheme.

Xie Yang said, "Musk will be coming to China in a while. He said he wants to talk to you in person and misses the food at your cousin's place."

Chen Guiliang said, "If they're coming, then they're coming. We should host a banquet to welcome them. After all, as a father, I sympathize with the experience of having children."

"God the hell gives birth to children!" Xie Yang laughed.

Chen Guiliang was wondering if he could use the [Bond Contract] on Musk to create a [Master-Slave] bond.

However, the contract needs to be judged based on the overall strength of both parties. Chen Guiliang's attributes definitely far surpass Musk's, but will Musk's wealth and connections also be considered as factors in the judgment?
It is possible that a master-slave contract cannot be concluded.

But you can give it a try; it's a very interesting experiment.
