After the layoffs, I became a tech godfather

Chapter 180 The press conference begins—the first product is released with a big reveal!

And in another place, BJ, is the live broadcast room of CCTV News Channel.

"Guangquan, you will host the news broadcasts at 2:00, 3:00, and 4:00."

Kang Hui, the news channel host and director of the news center's broadcasting department, is explaining the work arrangements for the next three hours to Zhu Guangquan.

"Okay!" Although his original schedule was to be on "Common Concern" at 6 o'clock today, since the leader had spoken, Zhu Guangquan naturally had no objection.

"Well, the reason why you are here is because the news in these three time slots today is very critical."

Although Zhu Guangquan didn't ask, Kang Hui still explained the reason: "The press conference of Baiju Technology will be held in half an hour. The leaders above have some temporary arrangements, and I need you to cooperate with me.

"First, at around 2:30, we will directly access the live broadcast of the Baiju Technology press conference based on the on-site situation and quickly make a news flash. And in the future, based on the content and changes on the scene, we will cut into the live broadcast at any time. Please pay attention to my notification signal and make good connections."

For excellent anchors of CCTV, it is common to temporarily insert live broadcasts. Not to mention the news live broadcast room, the news broadcast sometimes temporarily inserts pure oral scripts that can even last up to several minutes.

It was sung fluently, word for word, and with clear pronunciation.

Zhu Guangquan nodded, this was all child's play.

"Don't be careless, today is different. The delay of our live broadcast is set to 15 seconds, which means that any signal I send you, no matter what is being broadcast at the time, you have to turn it back.

"Moreover, according to our estimation, the total duration of live broadcast will exceed one hour." Kang Hui said: "There is another requirement, when appropriate, we need to provide commentary.

"For this reason, we specially upgraded our teleprompter system to Unlimited and connected it to Xiaosha. When we encounter some professional things during the live broadcast, Xiaosha will directly give a brief explanation.

"And you, on your side, need to cooperate with me to analyze and interpret based on Xiaosha's explanation and the situation on the scene."

"Ah?" Zhu Guangquan was stunned. In the past, even if he was doing an impromptu oral broadcast, he just read the script. Now he had to analyze and interpret it, even if it was a profession he had never been involved in. The difficulty increased by more than an order of magnitude. Moreover, he had never done this before. At least he had to practice in advance!

"The higher-ups made a sudden decision and there is no time to practice, so they decided to let you take the class." Kang Hui said:
"You don't have to worry. The news client will broadcast the entire press conference live. I will be there in person. When the TV station starts, we will connect online and just respond accordingly."

In the past, such live broadcasts had no host and no commentary. However, this time, the leaders felt that news should be made as soon as possible and the products and trends of Baiju Technology should be interpreted as soon as possible, so this arrangement was made.

Not to mention Zhu Guangquan, even Kang Hui, a veteran with decades of experience at CCTV, had never encountered such a scene before. It was the first time for a young lady to get into a bridal sedan.

That is because of Xiaosha, otherwise it would be impossible for non-insiders and non-professionals to make this kind of interpretation at the first time.

"Okay, you go first. This half hour will be for normal news. It's a good time to get familiar with some new systems." The content of the previous period was about to come to an end. It was almost two o'clock, and Zhu Guangquan also tidied up his manners and made preparations.

……

Half an hour is just a matter of a moment, and Baiju Technology is extremely punctual. It officially started at 2:30 p.m., almost to the second.

"Let us welcome Mr. Hao Cheng, founder, executive director and chief algorithm engineer of Baiju Technology."

"Hello everyone!"

At this moment, the Linzhou Kingdee Sports Center Stadium, which can accommodate 18,000 people, was almost full, and it was the first time that Hao Cheng experienced such a grand scene, especially when he was the only one on the stage.

Feeling slightly excited, he smiled and waved.

The applause was like thunder, and a group of young people shouted "Ooooooo" in a rhythmic way. The whole scene was suddenly in a state of excitement. Some people kept shouting: "Mr. Hao, Mr. Hao!"

Looking at this passionate and energetic crowd, Hao Chengshang couldn't stop smiling from the bottom of his heart. After a slight pause, he slowly spoke:
"Welcome everyone to the press conference. Today, we don't have much to bring to you, but each one..." Hao Cheng stretched out a finger and shook it: "Each one will be epoch-making."

Without any hesitation, Hao Cheng came on stage and said just two sentences. The lights dimmed and the first product promotional video appeared on the screen - the borderless system.

Within 24 hours of its release, the number of Beta version users exceeded 300,000!

Seventy-two hours, over one million!

In just two weeks, the number of users exceeded 100 million!
71% of active users' PC terminals have switched to the borderless system!
"Here, first of all, I would like to thank all users for their strong support!" Looking at these numbers, Hao Cheng was also extremely excited.

The borderless system is very powerful, but any powerful product has a cycle of emergence, growth, stability and demise.

In just two weeks, 71% of computers that were turned on more than five times were updated to the Unbounded system. This time and this proportion are something even Microsoft would envy.

The thunderous applause was not only for Baiju Technology, but also for everyone themselves - because they are also one of the 71%, one of the million users.

……

"Guangquan..."

The first news in the news broadcast room of CCTV News Channel has been released, focusing on the first PPT of Baiju Technology, and Zhu Guangquan and Kang Hui also conducted their first live broadcast:

"There are boundaries in action, but there are no boundaries in the mind. The borderless system has quickly gained wide recognition from users with its unparalleled security advantages and cross-era interactive experience..."

"But Guangquan, do you know why the data announced by Mr. Hao at the press conference is the data of active users instead of all users?" Kang Hui raised a question, and the two of them actually started chatting.

"The PC market in my country is still very large, and it is almost impossible to count the exact amount." Zhu Guangquan smiled at Xiaosha's suggestion and continued:

"Why do I say that? Because as mobile terminals become more powerful, a mobile phone or a tablet can meet our work and entertainment needs. In the past five years, 3.2 million PC terminal products have been sold in my country.

"But among them, there are quite a number of devices that have not been turned on for several months or even one or two years. Naturally, no one uses them, so there is no question of upgrading them. But as long as the computers are used, especially those that are used continuously, more than 70% have upgraded the Unbounded system."

"Why is it only 70%? Where did the remaining 30% go? Did it stay with Microsoft?"

"There are essential software that needs to be used, or there are PC game users. The borderless system is strong, but the time is too short and the game adaptation progress has obviously not kept up."

"Games may be one aspect, but are there still so many PC game users now? And necessary software, what kind of necessary software is there? Aren't all the major application software adapted? If there is any that is not adapted, directly @Baiju Technology-Cao Song, he will follow up and handle it!"

"Some software is not as simple as you think. For example, chip design software EDA cannot be developed by software alone. It needs to be debugged in collaboration with the wafer fab. Some industrial software also combines software and hardware."

……

At the press conference, Hao Cheng changed the content of the PPT: "What about the remaining 29%?" Hao Cheng said: "For game users, we have developed a new game engine based on a unique operation method based on fully integrated perception and AI deep learning.

“This game engine not only changes the operating method, but also deeply integrates AI at the core, so Xiaosha can deeply participate in it.

"Xiaosha can play various roles and scenes of AI-NPC, and even generate corresponding growth paths and solutions based on every behavior, habit and choice of the user, providing each player with a unique game scene and experience."

"Ah! Gamers are ecstatic. Nowadays, games, whether online or offline, all have preset NPCs and endings. No matter how many endings there are, this cannot be changed!
"Now that Xiaosha, a powerful AI, has joined the game, there will be a lot of changes! When will the first game be released?"

When someone asked this question, the screen showed this very question: "When will the first game be released?"

Answer: "Right now!"

As for the subsequent promotion of the borderless system, Hao Cheng had already learned about it through user feedback or Xiaosha, and the decision to create such a game engine was not a sudden whim, and it even had more than just the purpose of creating games.

Xiaosha’s data reasoning and integration capabilities are already very strong, but his ability to deduce the macro world and look at changes from a developmental perspective is still seriously insufficient.

In the game, every choice made by the player, every branch that affects Xiaosha's every deduction is actually a training.

Hao Cheng is consciously training Xiaosha in this area.

To this end, he even plans to launch a game - Blue Star Online, which will simulate the real world to the extreme, in which players can choose various roles such as business, politics, scientific research, and working.
The basic template applies the current society and economy, blurs the national background, and keeps the technological level consistent.

Then, let the players make decisions and choices, and let Xiaosha evolve, and see what the world will look like after a period of time.

"Yes, you read that right, Blue Star Online!"

After introducing the original intention and related concepts of the game, Hao Cheng said: "Here, you are not just playing games, you are even experiencing your second life - electronic life!"

"Wow!" In an instant, everyone was excited!

"This is great too!"

"Don't even mention playing. I'm having fun just thinking about it!"

"But this is equivalent to the deduction of the entire world. How much computing power is needed? Does Baiju Technology have enough computing power now?"

"But, this isn't fun, is it? It's a complete simulation of reality. I'm a worker in reality, so am I also working in the game? This isn't an electronic life, this is a life of cattle and horses!"

"No, no, no! This is not the same! In reality, we have all kinds of concerns. We have to have children and support our families, and we are very cautious in every step. For example, I hesitate to quit my job, for fear of not having enough food to eat.

"But, in the game, haha! If that cowherd leader continues to be arrogant to me, I will just kick him! He exploits me in real life, so how can I let him bully me in the game?"

"Also, have you ever thought about this, if Xiaosha's deduction ability is really strong, and every choice we make can correspond to an ending, then, will it be like the life simulator in the novel, providing us with better choices in real life through repeated simulations?"

"This is bullshit, there's no way he can be that strong!"

"I can guarantee that even if it's not that strong, Xiaosha's deduction is still of certain reference value! For example, in the current job search and recruitment system, Xiaosha can help you choose the best career that suits you based on your knowledge, personality, behavior, and logic!
"And the so-called simulator, even if it is really realized, is nothing more than integrating the entire society and adding a few more variables!"

"Everything is subject to uncertainty. It's easy to find a career that suits you, but it's hard to predict the development of the whole society!"

"That's right, you call integration into the whole society a little bit of a variable? That's not the way you talk nonsense!"

"How can Baiju Technology be judged by common sense? What others can't do, Xiaosha can't do? Putting aside other things, if we push the time back three months, do you believe there will be such a Xiaosha?"

"That won't work! Xiaosha's abilities are right here, and they're not that strong!"

"You said it's not that strong, so it's not that strong? Didn't you say it's improved? Who knows to what extent it has improved this time?"

"Then..."

……

Hao Cheng was introducing the relevant information and content of the game, and the major online live broadcast rooms suddenly started arguing. Some people thought that Baiju Technology could not be viewed with common sense, while others refused to believe it and insisted that Baiju Technology could not achieve a high level and that it was just a game.

Just three minutes after the national television station disconnected the live broadcast, Kang Hui connected with Zhu Guangquan again to ask for his opinion.

Zhu Guangquan was also very smart. He neither said yes nor denied it. He just said three words: "I want it!"

"It's not just you who wants it. I want all the attention in front of the TV and in the live studio. Let's put it this way. After the press conference, during the on-site interview, I will ask Mr. Hao and see how he answers this question."

"Yeah, I want to!"

……

"want to!"

"want to!"

"want to!"

……

CCTV News Channel's brand-new live broadcast method even attracted many people to watch on the spot.

While Hao Cheng was introducing the game, almost everyone at the scene said in unison, "I want it!"

The sounds came one after another, echoing throughout the entire stadium!
"What do you want?" Hao Cheng asked curiously, and Xiaosha also synchronized the relevant information in his headphones. He suddenly realized: "It's a life simulator, why don't you try it and know?
"Forget it, I won't keep you in suspense," Hao Cheng thought for a moment and explained, "Your expectations are good, but what I want to say is that Xiaosha is definitely not able to do this right now, at this moment.

"Well, now there's only one thing left, the release time -

"But the game you want is ready now - Blue Star Online. See you at 8pm on New Year's Eve!"
