I am the only one who practices magic: I practice magic in the city

Chapter 508 Taiyi Chain (4472)

The flash lights in the audience flashed one after another. Yu Dan looked at the teleprompter on the table and said calmly:

"Today is the launch conference of Dami Mix. The reason why "Taihuang: Mountain and Sea Realm" was first released on Mix is ​​firstly because of the good cooperative relationship between us and Dami."

"More importantly, the AI ​​computing platform carried by Mix and the underlying scheduling capabilities of MIUI OS for AI and AR provide us with an ideal technical soil."

“We love this world and always believe that no virtual world can compare with reality; and no technology can create a greater miracle than reality.”

“Each of us has been a player of the game ‘Blue Star Online’ since birth. There is no other game that is more realistic, more complex, and more exciting than this one.”

“A completely virtual metaverse may be cool, but it is just a ‘refuge’ from the real world.”

“Mix is ​​a good name. It corresponds to the higher stage after AR - MR, Mixed Reality.”

"We prefer to call it 'fusion' - not superposition, but fusion; not replacement, but symbiosis."

“To truly integrate the virtual world into the real world is the direction that Youguo Games is working towards, and Taihuang: Mountain and Sea Realm is the first footnote to this vision.”

“Youguo Games will push the beta version update to Mix users before December 12, and will officially launch the open beta before the Spring Festival.”

"We will also use this time to continuously enrich the gameplay and game content, and look forward to bringing everyone a truly desolate world."

“Enjoy the game, and enjoy the world we built.”

"May you find your own truth in the wilderness."

"thank you all."

After saying that, Yu Dan raised the Mix in his hand, waved it, then turned around and left in a cool manner.

Coupled with his stern face and handsome figure, the atmosphere on the scene was almost about to explode!
So fucking awesome!
Fully practical mixed reality, independent AI, blockchain assets...

Any one of these things would be enough to support a complete press conference, not to mention in the gaming industry, even in the hands of any major company.

No, it should be said that a breakthrough in one aspect of one of these things is enough to open a single game!

Just the practical-level mixed reality that Youguo Games has demonstrated has so many key technological breakthroughs!
You know, at the launch of the GTX680, a tactical core graphics card that can destroy an aircraft carrier battle group in one shot, the man in yellow leather praised the GPU Boost, which can dynamically adjust the GPU frequency, for more than an hour.

Together with Mix and Youmi OS released by Lei Jun before, today's press conference can be said to be the strongest in history!
none of them!

Fortunately, the rice fans at the scene were all young. If they were older, looking at their red faces, thick necks, and blue veins on their foreheads due to excitement, they might have burst blood vessels now.

Lei Jun came on stage again, and in the fanatical atmosphere, thunderous applause broke out from the audience before he even opened his mouth.

I heard the audience shouting "one more thing"
"Today's press conference is all over. I know everyone is very excited, but I still want to remind everyone, don't forget, at 2 o'clock in the evening, the 'Note' and 'Mix' will be available on time in the Rice Mall."

Everyone then remembered, yes, there are only 300,000 units in the first batch, so they still have to grab them!

"In order to prevent scalpers from disrupting the market and to thank old users for their support, we have upgraded the reservation system this time."

Lei Jun pointed to the update notification that appeared on the big screen.

"After you upgrade the Rice Mall to the latest version and click on the reservation, the Rice Mall will sort the users according to their weight."

“Old users of Dami and users who have helped us in the process of building the Dami community will be ranked according to their contribution and have priority to purchase. At the same time, each account can only purchase one Mix for the time being.”

"This time, at least we can ensure that people don't have to worry about being outcompeted by scalpers using automated scripts."

"Of course, we know that this still cannot completely prevent the resale at a higher price in the secondary market. We can only urge everyone to wait a few more days."

"Mr. Li and Mr. Shao have just assured me that within two weeks, they can double their current production capacity!"

“I believe that in one or two months, every user who wants to buy Mix will be able to buy our ‘world’s first full-screen AI phone’!”

There was thunderous applause and slogans and shouts at the scene.

"I would like to remind everyone again that before making an appointment, you must ensure that the Rice Mall is upgraded to the latest version, which is now available on all app markets."

"Thank you, thank you everyone!"

After hearing Lei Jun’s final announcement, the fans at the scene shouted until their voices were almost hoarse, and some even burst into tears.

I'm so touched that Dami finally remembered us, his old fans.

In fact, Mi fans are quite miserable. When Mi phones were not yet available, Mi had already developed MIUI, and the first batch of Mi fans had contributed a lot.

MIUI is essentially a deeply customized Android system co-created by the community. Fans play a very important role in it, and it can be said that they play the largest role among all major companies engaged in deep customization.

Before MIUI is officially launched, every test version requires these fans to root their phones to participate in the testing, and users submit bugs and product suggestions directly to engineers.

It can be said that these people are both free guinea pigs and free test engineers.

But afterwards, they received basically no benefits. After Dami became popular, few old fans could even get the priority purchasing rights when the product was first launched.

On the contrary, Zhou Wei and OV, who did not rely much on fan co-creation, did a good job in providing benefits to old users. Whether it was purchasing a phone with points or priority purchase rights, the threshold was much lower than that of Dami.

And today, this is definitely the most sought-after Mix in history, and I might actually be able to buy it at the first available price of 5999!
Who can still say that we are Lei Jun’s leeks! ?
The leeks all straightened their backs.
-
Cai Hao nervously held a fruit pencil and drew on his iPad Pro.

The loop is closed, completely closed!
Although he is not in the cryptocurrency circle, he still understands the technical principles and key indicators of blockchain.

When he opened the official website of Youguo Games and checked the performance of Taiyi Chain, he immediately realized that if this performance was true, then the operating model of "Taihuang Mountain and Sea Realm" would be completely closed!

This may be the first game where your account can actually maintain its value or even increase in value!

Rely on unprecedented MR+AI to attract players to try it out, then rely on data assets to improve customer retention, and finally charge through various in-game props or DLC.

They can even reach agreements with various tourist attractions, refresh rare and exotic beasts at fixed locations, organize various offline activities, and share the profits offline!
The low player retention of AR+ face-to-face games is like a chicken and a dog in front of data assets that may continue to appreciate in value, not worth mentioning!
In front of him, he seemed to have seen countless people on the streets, lawns, tourist attractions... holding their mobile phones, doing tasks outdoors while laughing and joking with their friends next to them.

But the question is, how did they do it?
Does Pocket Monster GO not want to engage in blockchain? Do so many games not want to engage in blockchain?

of course not!

This is something that current blockchain technology simply cannot achieve!
Imagine that Bitcoin’s current maximum TPS is 7, which means that it can only process 7 transactions per second, and the actual number is only about 3. If all exotic beasts are NFTs, every “state” change must be uploaded to the Taiyi Chain.

Not to mention Bitcoin, even Ethereum's 15TPS may not be able to support even 3 people online, not to mention a mobile game that may have millions of people online at the same time.

Even if we use the newly emerged Layer2+ Rollup package upload and layered ownership confirmation model, it is impossible to really support such a game!
How did they do it?
Cai Hao is not the only one who has this question. The already chaotic cryptocurrency circle of Da Zhou has this question even more. Too powerful! Just looking at the performance description, this Taiyi Chain is too powerful! How did it do it?
Unfortunately, Taiyi Chain is a private chain. You cannot see the on-chain consensus, contract execution logic, and NFT structure. You can only see the block structure and data indexing method.

Is this blockchain technology invented by a gaming company? If they have this technology, why don’t they issue coins?

The press conference just ended, and "Taihuang: The Realm of Mountains and Seas" once again dominated the hot searches after Dami Mix and Youmi OS!
This press conference is so fucking outrageous, it's like PL15 fighting Gust of Wind.

Five or six planes were shot down at once.

Not to mention the mobile phone and Android circles that were ignited by Dami Mix and Youmi OS, just talk about the last twenty minutes of the press conference. "Taihuang: The Realm of Mountains and Seas" alone first exploded the gaming circle, then the metaverse circle, and finally, even the fucking currency circle was exploded!
Oh, by the way, the entry in the middle "Da Mimi is so awesome" even went viral in the fan circle.

It's just fucking outrageous.

Who would have thought that a game built into Rice Mix could cause such a stir! ?

Many people in the cryptocurrency circle immediately went to the official website of Youguo Games to check the information about Taiyi Chain, and their defense was instantly broken.

An average of 1280 million TPS (transactions per second), a network-wide confirmation delay of only 50 milliseconds, parallel signature verifications per second, polymorphic stack parallel execution, module hot swapping, and behavioral determinism drive zero Gas...

What is the TPS of the most powerful Ethereum room now?

15!

How much is a Bitcoin?
7!

What about Taiyi Chain? 1280 million! Nearly a million times more than Ethereum!
Assuming that each player triggers a contract action every ten minutes, the Taiyi Chain with 1280 million TPS is enough to support 70 billion people around the world to go online at the same time!

Even if Taiyi Chain is a private chain, without mining and voting, it is a fantasy to achieve 1280 million TPS!

What's more, in the case of a private chain, all costs must be borne by Youguo Games.

The biggest problem with blockchain is that the longer it runs, the more state data and historical transaction records it generates. Since state data cannot be deleted or compressed, the storage requirement is like an expanding bubble; as long as it is alive, it will continue to grow fatter.

After your game has been running for a few years, how much will this cost alone be?

Even if the Taiyi Chain can really run 10 million TPS, how fast can this system run after three years? Can the chain still hold up after five years?
If they fail to design a sufficiently aggressive cleanup mechanism, the storage, indexing, compression optimization, and node operation and maintenance of the blockchain alone could drag down the entire Youguo profit margin.

But if they clean it up very aggressively, can it still be called blockchain? Will anyone still believe in its value?

The value of blockchain comes from trust.

The belief comes from the immutable nature of blockchain.

If the cleanup strategy is too aggressive, it can reduce the operation and maintenance costs of the private chain, but correspondingly, the trustworthiness will also be greatly reduced.

Yu Dan’s statement at the press conference, “Bitcoin is the misapplication of blockchain technology,” caused an uproar in the cryptocurrency circle, which was already filled with chaos and speculation.

On that day, Bitcoin fell from a high of 855 dollars to 700 dollars. Many speculators who had leveraged due to the long bull market had their positions liquidated.

Countless digital currency buyers have cursed Youguo Games and Yu Dan on various channels such as Weibo and Zhifou.

Especially after some so-called bigwigs in the cryptocurrency circle saw this part of the press conference, they became furious.

A certain "sea turtle entrepreneur" who has been promoting digital currency entrepreneurship in China this year first posted an emoji of a "crying smiley face" and then started to criticize:

"[#Tribute to blockchain#] Brother Min just showed me a clip of the press conference and I laughed like crazy."

"What do you mean by 'Bitcoin is a misapplication of blockchain'? Now anyone can dare to say that. Your brother Sun took a look at your so-called Taiyi Chain. It's not a chain. It's a high-end version of a pocket monster. Stop pretending."

“Your chain is so designed that you wouldn’t even dare to use it to cheat people out of using air coins.”

"1280 million TPS? Hahaha, if you say you don't understand, then tell me a TPS; if you say you understand, then tell me you can do 1280 million TPS."

“Mr. Yu, I suggest you understand clearly that it is Bitcoin that gives you the aura of NFT, not you who give the chain value. Don’t forget that the real “value consensus” does not come from speeches, but from the market!”

“Private chains have no credibility and are not decentralized. They are not real blockchains at all. Stop deceiving people.”

“Repost + comment to win three ear mouse NFTs. I’ll help you post them.”

The so-called "Da Zhou Digital Currency Richest Man" who used to be an English teacher, later became an angel investor, and now switched to the cryptocurrency circle, spoke in a pretentious and detached tone:

"I'm in Miami, just got off the plane. I took a look at the technical documents of the so-called Taiyi Chain and the mysterious press conference."

“To be honest, I’m not angry, I even want to laugh. This is not a misunderstanding of blockchain, but a complete ignorance of the nature of the ‘trust structure’.”

“Let me make a judgment first - a blockchain that is not a public chain has no meaning.”

“Blockchain is not a database, it is the infrastructure of the value structure; NFT is not a technology, but a philosophical expression of digital identity and scarcity.”

“Blockchain is the art of building trust, not industrial design with a lot of parameters.”

“The carrier of trust is currency. I suggest Mr. Yu read more about Satoshi Nakamoto’s A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System.”

"Mr. Yu is a sea turtle, so the English version should be fine. If you can't understand it, I can also send you a copy of the Zhou version."

Although the cryptocurrency circle is fiercely criticized, it is too small compared to the huge number of game players and 3C enthusiasts. No matter how fierce the criticism is, it is not as fierce as the public opinion offensive launched by Rice's friendly competitors.

After Mix was released, the public relations departments of all mobile phone and game companies worked at full capacity, organizing internet trolls to launch a public opinion campaign against Mix from all angles.

Xiaomi's full-screen and Youmi OS are too hardcore, so we can only criticize Xiaomi for treating users as guinea pigs and not being responsible to them.

Of course, some people initially criticized Youmi OS for illegally obtaining WeChat permissions, which was a typical black hat behavior.

But then, Dami announced the technical principle of Youmi OS for operating WeChat: it is a simulated manual operation performed by AI after the user authorizes AI.

Although this model is still a bit on the edge, it does not violate WeChat's user agreement at all, let alone the law.

In this case, "Taishang: Mountain and Sea Realm", which announced the use of blockchain technology and announced that it would not ban virtual transactions, became the biggest breakthrough for public relations No. 1s.

Of course, there are also many people who defend the rice and youzuguo games, and their voices are no less loud than those of the other side.

After the press conference, the verbal battle lasted for nearly two days without any sign of abating.

It was in this hustle and bustle that the first batch of users who grabbed Rice Mix finally got the Mix they had been longing for.
