70: Silver Wolf appears~ (I am dying of laughter, so I am allowed to appear)

Eastern Federation, Shen City, Interstellar Peace Corporation Headquarters.

Silver Wolf chewed bubblegum, one hand in her pocket, standing before the holographic projection. Her signature grey short hair and high-tech mechanical goggles immediately caused a stir.

"Yo, everyone~" She greeted casually, blowing a bubble. "I'm Silver Wolf, Interstellar Peace's Technical Director. As per the boss's arrangement, I'm here today to play with this little toy called 'Star Code' with you all."

The live stream's bullet comments exploded.

【Holy crap, this look is so cyberpunk!】

【The Star Ring LOGO on the goggles! It's the symbol of the All-Encompassing Engine!】

【Found it! Chief Architect of the All-Encompassing Engine!】

【Oh my god, I remember that voice! The mysterious guest speaker at GDC three years ago was her!】

【I found it, this company is a shareholder of miHoYo.】

【I knew miHoYo's output was so high because of some black tech, it's confirmed!】

The press section instantly became chaotic. A reporter from Observation Record Net immediately raised his hand: "Director Silver Wolf, there are rumors that you are the developer of the All-Encompassing Engine?"

A reporter from Science and Technology Daily pressed further: "Was Interstellar Peace's strategic cooperation with miHoYo a few years ago related to this technology?"

Silver Wolf tilted her head, listened to the questions, and then suddenly chuckled: "One at a time, please~" She snapped her fingers, and a complex relationship diagram unfolded on the holographic screen behind her: "First, the All-Encompassing Engine is indeed one of our projects. The main developer is Ada—oh, she's watching me from the backstage right now."

In the backstage monitoring room, Ada Wong rubbed her forehead: "Can't she just stick to the script... Why did the boss put me in charge of this company's affairs? It's such a headache."

Bronya's laughing projection swung her legs cheerfully nearby: "Don't worry, all identity information is seamless~ Starting as an orphan, raised by a welfare program, self-taught at 18 and discovered by the company, developed an engine at 20, became Technical Director at 22... All information is traceable."

“Except for the only loophole of no paper records. But, as the Master said, it’s not important.”

At the press conference, Silver Wolf brought up a stunning code demonstration:

Define Dungeon "Abyss"

When Player Enters

If Team Level ≥ 80

Then Generate BOSS ‘Dragon of Annihilation’ Must Be Cool

Drop Five-Star Equipment Must Sparkle Golden

Else

Prompt "Git Gud"

End

Just a few lines of code instantly generated a complete 3D battle scene in the holographic projection, with a giant dragon roaring down from the void.

The scene immediately erupted in an uproar, and a dozen reporters stood up simultaneously to take photos.

"Don't be so surprised~" Silver Wolf popped her bubblegum. "This thing was originally for miHoYo's planners to be lazy." She suddenly imitated Great Wei Ge's tone: "'Silver Wolf, can you make BOSSes automatically generate cool skills?'"

At miHoYo headquarters, Great Wei Ge, who was watching the live stream, spat out a mouthful of water: "When did I ever say that?!"

Next to him, a Genshin Impact planner weakly raised his hand: "Um... at last week's demand meeting, Interstellar had a representative attending remotely..."

The live stream's bullet comments surged.

【Case closed! Genshin Impact 2.0's BOSSes are all AI-generated!】

【No wonder updates are so fast!】

【All the pressure is on the writing team and art team! Spit out all your creativity!】

【No more manual labor, now it's brain cell labor!】

【Could the code for Honkai 4, which is currently in development, all be like this?】

【miHoYo's unique NPC dialogues suddenly make sense, it's wild!】

Silver Wolf suddenly became serious, a blue light flashing across her goggles: "Seriously speaking, 'Star Code' is officially open source today." She waved her hand to bring up the GitHub page: "But there's a small problem."

She suddenly showed a mischievous smile, and the projection switched to a comparison chart:

Left: Ordinary Chip Performance - 20-second loading delay

Right: Stardust Chip Performance - Real-time rendering

"On traditional silicon-based chips, it can only achieve 20% of its performance." Silver Wolf tapped her goggles. "For this effect," she pointed to the chart on the right, "you need our specially made 'Stardust Structure' chip, not even the one on Baiyu."

The scene instantly erupted.

A reporter from Toyo Economic News jumped up: "Does this mean traditional chips will be eliminated?"

A reporter from First Financial Daily pressed: "When will the Stardust Chip be mass-produced?"

Silver Wolf looked at the agitated reporters below, a playful smile playing on her lips. She lightly tapped her goggles, and the holographic projection immediately switched to a complex comparison chart of chip structures.

"Since everyone is so curious," she leaned lazily against the podium, "then I'll briefly talk about this Stardust Chip."

The reporters on site immediately quieted down, all cameras aimed at the holographic projection.

"First," Silver Wolf snapped her fingers, and an enlarged structure of a traditional chip appeared in the projection, "your silicon-based chips are like this, simulating 0s and 1s through transistor switches."

She blew another bubble, and the projection switched to the Stardust Chip's structure: "And our chip, is like this."

The entire audience gasped.

The internal structure of the Stardust Chip was as brilliant as a starry sky, with countless light points flowing within it.

The live stream's bullet comments exploded instantly.

【Is this a chip or a work of art?!】

【What the hell are those light points? Quantum computer?】

【Mittel Engineers have cried themselves unconscious in the bathroom】

A reporter from "Frontier Technology" suddenly stood up: "Director Silver Wolf, what do these light points represent?"

"Good question~" Silver Wolf winked playfully. "Simply put, we've directly engraved part of the underlying logic of 'Star AI' into the hardware." She pointed to a flashing light point, "This corresponds to the fuzzy logic processing unit, this is the nonlinear computing core..."

At miHoYo headquarters, the Planning Director's eyes widened: "So their AI isn't just software, it also has hardware?!"

Great Wei Ge wiped his sweat: "Shouldn't you be thinking about the problem of being relentlessly pushed for updates by players right now?!"

Silver Wolf continued to explain: "Traditional chips first convert instructions into machine language, but the Stardust Chip..." She suddenly snapped her fingers again, and a segment of Star Code appeared in the projection:

Calculate Pi to the 1,000,000th digit

Simultaneously play cat videos

And order me takeout

The chip structure immediately lit up, and the three tasks were completed simultaneously.

"See?" Silver Wolf proudly wiggled her finger. "It can directly understand human intent. Of course, this is the effect after secondary debugging."

“However, debugging is not difficult. It can be uniformly set before leaving the factory, or you can DIY it yourself. If you have decent technical skills, doing it yourself will yield better results.”

The scene erupted in an uproar.

A BCC reporter exclaimed: "Doesn't this completely overturn the Von Neumann architecture?"

A reporter from Toyo Economic News pressed: "What is the mass production timetable?"

Silver Wolf shrugged: "I'm only responsible for the technology; the rest is handled by our CEO, Ada Wong. But, you know..." She suddenly showed a mischievous smile, "I only know that the first batch of customers will, of course, be our good friends miHoYo~"

The live stream's bullet comments surged.

【Honkai 4 is about to take off!】

【Genshin Impact players: So can the gacha rates be changed?】

【miHoYo: Rewriting the script overnight】

【Great Wei Ge: Stop scolding, stop scolding, we'll work our butts off, alright?】

In the backstage monitoring room, Ada Wong watched Silver Wolf clowning around in front of the camera, sighing as she rubbed her forehead: "She's adding scenes on her own again..."

Bronya was still swinging her legs cheerfully: "But the effect is super good, isn't it?"

No sooner had Silver Wolf left the press conference than the entire company's communication system exploded.

"Director! FrogSemi Chairman on the line!"

"Mittel CEO waiting online!"

"Four Star delegation is at the live broadcast venue!"

The receptionist sister frantically answered call after call, her professional smile almost breaking.

In the backstage monitoring room, Ada Wong elegantly sipped her coffee, a slight smile playing on her lips: "Bronya, activate the 'passing the buck' contingency plan."

"Understood~" Bronya's projection spun cheerfully. "All cooperation requests are being redirected to the Eastern Federation's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, complete!"

At the Eastern Federation's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the phones in the duty room suddenly rang one after another. Operator Xiao Wang stared dumbfounded at the caller ID:

FrogSemi Chairman's private line; Four Star Group President's office; Apple's Tim Cook's private number

"M-Minister!" He stammered, grabbing the internal phone. "Interstellar Peace has dumped all the world's chip manufacturers and high-tech companies on us!"

“We’re, we’re gonna get rich!”

At miHoYo headquarters, Great Wei Ge's phone suddenly vibrated, showing a call from 'Interstellar Peace - Ada Wong'.

"Hello? General Manager Ai?"

"General Manager Liu," Ada Wong's voice carried a hint of a smile, "the first batch supply agreement for the Stardust Chip has been sent to your email."

Great Wei Ge's hand trembled, almost dropping his phone: "Wait, we haven't discussed the price yet..."

"Friendship price," Ada Wong chuckled, "the boss's intention. After all, we are one of miHoYo's shareholders, we're family."

After the call ended, the entire conference room was silent.

A Genshin Impact planner weakly raised his hand: "So, so we really have to rewrite the plans?"

“Write it, write it. Productivity can no longer be hidden… Spend more time polishing the plot and details. What players want is a good meal, not just to be full.” Great Wei Ge spread his hands, deciding to pass the pressure to the art team.

As everyone knows, smiles never disappear.

Although the press conference had ended, the bullet comments on the live stream were still frantic:

【Breaking news: FrogSemi stock price surged 20%!】

【BMD announced an emergency technology upgrade】

【Golden Serpent Street analyst: This is the MPhone moment for the chip industry】

Suddenly, a golden bullet comment flashed across:

【miHoYo Official Account: Honkai 4 will fully adopt Star Code + Stardust Chip adapted technology, please look forward to it】

The bullet comments instantly exploded:

【Holy crap! Announced so fast?!】

【Great Wei Ge: Forced overtime .jpg】

【So Genshin Impact Version 3.0... hurry up and bring it out~】

Starlight Command, emergency meeting.

The Minister of Defense slammed the table and roared: "Immediately contact the Eastern Federation Ministry of Foreign Affairs! They are engaging in an arms race! If they don't want to be boycotted by the international community, then open up the technology!"

The technical consultant wiped his sweat: "Sir, the Eastern Federation Ministry of Foreign Affairs just replied, saying this is 'purely civilian technology'..."

"Bullshit!" The Minister pointed at the live replay of the demonstration that simultaneously calculated Pi and ordered takeout. "How in the hell is that civilian?!"

Interstellar Peace Corporation rooftop. Silver Wolf sat cross-legged on the railing, looking at the media and business representatives in chaos downstairs.

"How boring," she pouted, "Are they already scared silly? I haven't even demonstrated 'Aether Edit' yet..."

Ada Wong's voice came through her earpiece: "You wouldn't dare! The boss said to take it step by step. If you pull another stunt, I'll ask the boss for someone who can control you!"

"I know, I know~" Silver Wolf stretched lazily. "Oh right, I just sent the chip design blueprints to the dark web."

"What?!"

"Don't worry~" Silver Wolf smirked, popping a bubble. "It's a version with 178 fatal errors intentionally left in."

In a laboratory at a certain university in the Eastern Federation, a group of graduate students were exclaiming excitedly around the recently downloaded Star Code documentation.

"Mentor! We managed to run the fuzzy logic module on an ordinary chip! Although it's not like what was shown in the demonstration, the overall performance isn't inferior to previous top-tier levels."

The Old Professor looked at the smoothly running code on the screen, his hands trembling: "Children... we might have to rewrite computer textbooks."

In a computer classroom at another university in the Eastern Federation, another professor was staring blankly at the blackboard. All the students below were completing their assignments using 'Star Code', while C++, which he had taught for thirty years, suddenly became an 'ancient language'.

And in an internet cafe in Shen City, several prodigy teenagers had already used the open-source version of Star Code to create the first role-playing game entirely generated by AI — "Stardust Era."

The wheels of history were advancing with a roar at a speed no one had ever anticipated. For the first time, the people on the carriage felt a powerful push.

Late at night at Pierpoint Space Station, Chen Hao looked at the emergency projects for reverse-engineering the 'Stardust Chip' lighting up across Earth, and chuckled softly.

Bronya popped out: "Master, the Eastern Federation government is asking if we want to attend next week's semiconductor summit?"

"Let Ada Wong go." Chen Hao turned and looked at the starry sky. "It's not time for the protagonist to appear yet."

“Oh, oh, Ada Wong said, can the boss send someone who can manage Silver Wolf to help out?” Bronya suddenly remembered the ‘distress signal’ Ada Wong had sent, “Silver Wolf is going crazy playing around.”

“Well, please ask Ada Wong to work a little harder then.” Chen Hao scratched his head, a bit embarrassed, “The big sister who can manage Silver Wolf just asked me for two months of vacation…”

“Completely impossible to refuse~” Chen Hao, Winnie the Pooh shrug .jpg
