The first thing Sun Zan did was write down a list of things that were needed and ask Xiao San to acquire them.
There were all kinds of VR and AR prototypes in the market and it was easy to get a few samples.
Sun Zan listed all of them: helmets, sunglasses, sensors, nerve receptors, electrode gloves, and jumpsuits.
If they were not in the market, directly contact the company to send them over.
After dealing with the hardware bit, it was now time to deal with the software side.
Sun Zan did not have any grand ideas of taking the market by storm but his vision was to quietly and silently make whatever product he came up with indispensable.
The first thing that came to mind was a virtual cyber world.
Well, this thing is a must-have when the time comes, but it is a very big project that involves too many things and interests.
It is called a world for a reason. Sun Zan was sure that it would fail if he wanted to develop the whole thing himself.
Since he couldn't do it alone, the next best thing is to provide the necessary tools needed to create such a world.
Like any world, there needed to be a complete administrative and financial system to support the growth of other systems including the economy.
Indeed, Sun Zan's final goal was to create a complete system to replace real-world systems.
At the very least, the system should support the real world when he truly starts taking things out of the system.
His system is very good and he can get hundreds of trillions of insane products without much effort.
But this directly cripples 99% of the productivity systems that the world has erected with great difficulty.
Sun Zan did not want to see this.
At least, he needed to prepare the market and find other things for people to do.
This is why a virtual world is the best solution.
But to get there is also a process.
For example, the most important thing in a virtual world is intelligence.
The use of AI in the virtual world is a must and this is the direction Sun Zan plans to start with.
Anyway, everybody was racing to conquer artificial intelligence and it wouldn't be strange if he released a few advanced tools to prep the market.
After making a few plans on how to go about it, Sun Zan directly took out the 999x999nth… Phone.
This thing does not look much different from the iPhone he used at the start except that the logo had disappeared and the materials were obviously different.
But he was the only one who could tell these changes.
Sun Zan directly switched on the device with some caution on his face.
It did not even take a second for the phone to be ready for use.
Sun Zan carefully operated the phone and went through its various functions but to his surprise, the were not so many changes to the software.
I mean, the phone was smoother and it could do a bunch of cool things like download the whole internet instantly, but the apps and systems had not changed much.
But thinking about it again, Sun Zan breathed a sigh of relief.
Critical Strikes below 1000x were more inclined towards perfecting the existing basic functions of a product.
There might be some changes like in basic materials like the Extreme Multi-Dimensional Material in the phone and suit or even the level 1 bio-energy in the tea and wines, but at the end of the day, a phone is still a phone, a suit is a suit and tea and wines are still teas and wines.
The essence did not change at all.
Apps like TikTok and Pinterest became better at sorting and recommending content and their data collection ability directly broke through to the skies, but that's about it.
AI assistant apps also became scary good at their job, but there were still mere apps and their functions were still stuck at that level.
Sun Zan played around for a long time before he figured out what was happening.
The phone's functions and features did get a critical strike boost, but that is just the phone itself.
Manufacturers have done a pretty good in separating the phone's hardware and software into different units and categories in order to maximize sales.
For instance, the phone's hardware can run without 99% of the software just fine. It is just that it cannot do much in that state.
The 1% of software, mainly the BIOS did get a critical strike which is what is optimizing everything else, making the system software and application software function exceptionally well.
After figuring this out, Sun Zan took a cold breath.
He had felt the power of the 999x999nth… phone and he knew how scary it can get, but that is just the BIOS?!
And this is when the phone had not even used 0.00001% of its true ability.
A 100x phone can have processing capabilities of several yottaflops, you can imagine how powerful a 999x phone is, let alone this is a 999x999nth… phone.
Sun Zan stopped thinking about it further.
Anyway, his actions were going to have some extreme effects one way or the other. It is better to do it decisively in some aspects.
Sun Zan directly asked ChatGPT to generate code for a closed-loop all-purpose AI with emphasis on the ACG aspects.
That's right.
Sun Zan planned to start in the entertainment industry. People are more accepting in this regard.
It did not even take a minute before a complete project was completed and even the final debugged version was submitted to him.
This is the scary thing about the optimization before.
Clearly, the ChatGPT was not enhanced, but the results were hundreds of times more advanced than what was currently possible.
And because the phone itself was so powerful, the app did not even need to connect with the servers back at OpenAI and everything was completed locally.
Sun Zan was not joking when he said that the phone downloaded the entire internet in a second.
After calming his restless heart, Sun Zan got down to testing.
