Yu Dazui, do you want black technology or not?

Chapter 84 Yu Dazui, do you want black technology or not?

After discussing the projects that had already been implemented, Yang Yi gestured for Wang Teng to talk about the cutting-edge technologies that had not yet been implemented.

There's no need to discuss these things in the lab. Wang Teng led Yang Yi back to the office.

He took a bottle of water from the refrigerator next to him and handed Yang Yi a bottle of Coke.

After drinking the water, Wang Teng was noticeably more energetic.

"That handheld SoC you mentioned is still under development." Wang Teng opened his laptop, sat up straight, and said, "We hope to further improve its performance. The battery breakthroughs have been too rapid; things we couldn't add before due to power consumption issues can now be added back in."

Yang Yi nodded, opened the can of Coke, and took a sip.

"Currently, we've set the power consumption of the entire SoC at 10 watts," Wang Teng said, holding up one finger.

"The day before yesterday, the semi-solid power of the chinaberry plant broke through 1050 watt-hours per liter." Yang Yi shook the Coke can in his hand. "Your 10-watt can handle it perfectly well."

Wang Teng paused, holding the water bottle. "1050? Didn't you pay 1000 last month?"

"Zhao Mingyuan did it overnight." Yang Yi leaned back in his chair, a slight smile on his lips. "He said he made a minor adjustment to the electrolyte formula, and it's gone up another notch."

Wang Teng calmed himself down and picked up where he left off, continuing his train of thought that had been interrupted by 1050.

"The specifications of the FH100 can be adjusted again." He turned to a new page in his laptop. "The set of compute units that were cut before, add them back. Full version of the FG130 cores, not a single one cut. Ray tracing, BeeSR1 swarm super-resolution, all included. Quad-core FC130 CPU, frequency increased to 3.0GHz."

"1

Yang Yi didn't interrupt and let him speak.

"Handheld mode: 10 watts; CPU roughly equivalent to a desktop i3-8350K; GPU roughly equivalent to a GTX."

1050Ti。能跑大部分3A,1080p中低画质稳30到40帧。加上蜂群超分,能跳到50

到60。插上底座,功耗拉到25瓦,算力冲到2.6TFLOPS以上,3A原生1080p稳60

frame."

This performance data is truly surprising to Yang Yi; it's probably more than three times better than the Switch from his previous life.

Yang Yi slammed the Coke can on the table and asked, "Zhao Mingyuan said it's about to break 1100. At 1100, how big would a 1 mAh battery need to be?"

Wang Teng looked down and did some mental calculations. "33.6 cubic centimeters. It's just a matter of adding two or three millimeters to the thickness of the fuselage; you can't feel it when you hold it."

"Then design the battery compartment according to this size." Yang Yi leaned back in her chair. "Let's make it as big as possible to leave room for space."

He paused, then asked, "What else hasn't landed yet?"

"Yes. Super chips and super graphics cards." Wang Teng flipped to the back pages of his notebook, which were filled with architectural diagrams, densely packed with lines. "These two can't be achieved simply by piling on components."

Upon hearing this, the first thing that popped into Yang Yi's mind was the "County Town Ripper," that monster with so many CPU cores that Task Manager couldn't even display them all when plugged in. It was probably the same thing Wang Teng was talking about.

"These two things are very useful in areas such as game development, server setup, and AI computing power support."

"It's crucial for both you and the bee colony." Wang Teng turned his notebook around and pointed to the two areas marked in red on the diagram.

Yang Yi leaned back in her chair, not in a hurry to reply.

"The super chip, to put it simply, is just stacking the cores of our FC series CPUs together. If four cores aren't enough, then eight cores; if eight cores aren't enough, then sixteen cores, or thirty-two cores. We stack up the number of cores, stack up the cache, and stack up the memory channels."

Once completed, one server will be equivalent to more than a dozen current servers. Hive's own game servers, AI training clusters, and cloud gaming platform can all be migrated to it. After the migration, maintenance costs will be halved, and computing power will increase several times over.

Yang Yi glanced at him. "What about the costs?"

"It's expensive. But making it ourselves is more cost-effective than buying from Intel. And—" Wang Teng emphasized, "this is a strategic asset. With this, we don't have to depend on Intel. We're not afraid of them raising prices, we're not afraid of them cutting off supplies. We're the first game company in the world to develop its own server chips."

Yang Yi didn't say anything, but gestured with his chin toward the whiteboard, indicating that he should continue talking about the graphics card.

"Super graphics cards follow the same concept as super chips. They stack FG series cores together, in dual-core, quad-core, or even eight-core parallel configurations."

By increasing computing power, GPU memory, and bandwidth, AI training speed can be multiplied several times, and 3D rendering time can be reduced from hours to tens of minutes. The system can then utilize all of the beehive's own game art and animation CG.

They can also be sold to animation companies, research institutions, and AI companies. This isn't a cost; it's a money-printing machine.

Yang Yi mentally reviewed the numbers. "Which will come out first, the super chip or the super graphics card?"

"A super chip," Wang Teng said. "It's simpler to stack cores in a CPU than in a GPU. Once memory consistency is resolved, the rest is just a matter of stacking more cores."

"how long?"

"It should be completed by the end of the year. Once the FC190 is in mass production, we can use a mature core to stack it, which will reduce the risk."

Yang Yi nodded. "Let's work on the super chip first. The graphics card isn't urgent; we'll deal with that once the FG190 is running smoothly."

After leaving the industrial park, Yang Yi laughed loudly three times.

Hahahaha—the sound echoed so loudly in the square at the entrance of the industrial park.

A young woman pushing a stroller nearby, who was looking down and playing with her daughter, was startled by the laughter and her shoulders trembled.

She looked up and saw a young man in his early twenties standing under the blazing sun, laughing at the sky as if he had won the lottery.

Without saying a word, the young woman bent down, picked up her daughter from the car, held her protectively in her arms, and quickly walked to the side, pulling the stroller with her head down.

Their steps were so fast, as if they were dodging something dirty.

Yang Yi's laughter stopped abruptly.

He stood frozen in place, a smile still lingering on his lips, watching the mother and daughter jog away and disappear around the corner.

A cool breeze blew by, and he shivered.

Well, I've been mistaken for a mental patient.

He coughed lightly, touched his nose, took out his phone, found Yu Dazui's number, and dialed it. It rang three times before the other end answered.

"Mr. Yu, would you like an inertial sensor?"

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, a bit bewildered.

"What sensor?"

"Oh my! Look at you, it's absolutely far ahead." Yang Yi leaned against the car door, her tone as enthusiastic as a market vendor's. "Don't underestimate it; it's packed with technology!"

Yu Dazui didn't reply, but he didn't hang up either.

Yang Yi knew he was listening, and continued, "Oh, right! And the vibration motor is also world-class."

The biomimetic ultra-wideband X-axis motor is truly cutting-edge technology.

Your phones, using my motor, give your fingers a tactile feedback when typing, just like a mechanical keyboard. I guarantee they'll be way ahead.

Yu Dazui finally spoke up. He wasn't particularly interested in Yang Yi's sales pitch, but he couldn't help but chime in when he heard the words "far ahead."

"Where are the samples?"

Yes, we have them all.

"I have another chip here that supports Bluetooth wireless connectivity, do you want it?"

"I want them all," Yu Dazui said. "Send them over for testing."

Yang Yi smiled. "Okay. Deliver it next week. Price?"

"Test it first, then we'll discuss the price."

Yang Yi wasn't in a hurry. "Okay. We'll talk about it after the test. But I'll be upfront about this—it's a little pricey, but not by much."

But the absolute value.

Yu Dazui didn't respond to that question, but instead asked, "When will you be able to supply those batteries?"

Yang Yi thought for a moment. "Mobile phone batteries? The production line is running, and the first batch of samples will be ready next month. Once your side passes the verification, we'll sign the contract."

"Okay." Yu Dazui said and then hung up.

Yang Yi took the phone off her ear, glanced at the four words "far ahead" on the screen, and shook her head.

You little punk, with my high-tech bait, you're guaranteed to catch something big.

I'm really happy today. I only wanted to try my luck and get some scraps, but I hit the jackpot.

The system's development speed is truly amazing; it has shocked Wang Teng to no end.

These cutting-edge technologies have now yielded research results, and Yang Yi no longer needs to provide financial support.

Technological research and development has been successful, but game development still requires effort.

Go back to the company and supervise the game developers.

On the way back, Yang Yi sang as she drove: "The scenery is so beautiful under the bright sun, red flowers and green grass, running happily forward, traversing green hills without getting old, hahahaha, I'm a bit crazy."

He recalled the look the young woman had given him earlier and couldn't help but smile again. This time, he smiled restrainedly, a slight upturn of his lips, without uttering a sound.

Oh well, if I'm being treated like a mental patient, then so be it.

Back at the company, Xia He saw his cheerful expression and asked him a question.

"Mr. Yang seems to be in a very good mood; it looks like he's had quite a good time."

"It's not just not small, it's huge!"

How big is it?

"The same age as Ryoko!"

Xia He covered her mouth and exclaimed in surprise, "??? It's so big! I can't take it!"

This statement was somewhat ambiguous—causing company employees to look up and watch the drama unfold.

Xia He, she'll start driving at the drop of a hat, even on this lousy road.

Yang Yi rolled her eyes at her and slunk back to her office.

We began writing a brand new game design document.

Technology is advancing too fast, he needs to speed things up too, lest he's still developing mini-games when pseudo-virtual reality is already being created.

What games are good?

It should be simple, easy to develop, and have a certain degree of playability.

An adventure in the rain? A clown card game? Or—

Roguelike games are absolutely not suitable for marketing; you can't fully appreciate their unique charm without actually playing them.

After thinking about it for a while, I finally decided to develop "Famine".

Furthermore, an online version will be developed.

A group of people starving together online would definitely be a great entertainment segment.

The mods for the Qunfeng Games platform are ready, just waiting for Yang Yi to ignite the hype with Minecraft.

Games like Evil Engraving, Minecraft, Stardew Valley, Famine, and Plants vs. Zombies have all started using mods.

The level of popularity is absolutely unprecedented and will never be repeated.

Should we add Terraria as well?

Yang Yi thought about it for a long time and still rejected the idea. Although it was fundamentally different from Minecraft, it would definitely cause a certain amount of conflict.

Perhaps we should wait until players are more familiar with sandbox games before releasing it next year.

To be honest, Yang Yi's current development strategy is more about paving the way for future handheld consoles.

Handheld consoles are naturally suited to some small, high-quality games.

After much deliberation, I decided on "For My King".

This game's previous sales seem to have reached 3000 million.

Keep in mind that even the old man's ring only costs 4500 million.

This is enough to prove the excellence of the game's core gameplay. As for the shortcomings of "For the King", it's that this game must be played with multiple people, and the fun is doubled with each additional person.

Then add "Nine Parchments" to the development queue.

In addition, there are Cairo's "Adventure Village Story" and "Pyramid Story".

Although they are all small games, the positive word-of-mouth surrounding Swarm Games is enough to drive their success.

This should be enough for this year's Direct.

Next year's Game Direct should also see the launch of game consoles.

It's time to give players a swarm of excitement with Breath of the Wild.
