Omni-connected Immersive AR Display

Chapter 21: Omni-connected Immersive AR Display

"Boss, the AR equipment and computer accessories you ordered have arrived."

It was almost noon, and Xia Keke pushed a pallet jack, delivering the equipment and accessories Chen Yi requested to the second floor.

"Put them aside. I'll unpack them later."

Chen Yi said without looking up, holding his phone and controlling Lu Bu as he chased Diao Chan.

Xia Keke wasn't surprised by Chen Yi's reaction.

Carrying a packed lunch, she walked over to Chen Yi and leaned in to see what he was doing.

"Boss, all your teammates are dead."

After watching for a while, she saw Chen Yi use a big ultimate ability, charging forward alone.

He quickly killed the enemy mage and support with a few swings of his halberd, leaving the jungler crippled.

However, his own backline of three players was CC'd by Lian Po's ultimate flash, all becoming easy targets for the enemy Sun Shangxiang.

"Damn it, these trash teammates don't deserve to win.

I'm chasing and fighting three people by myself, and they lose a four-on-two!"

Chen Yi angrily threw his phone onto the table, his mentality completely shattered.

"Boss, I packed you a lunch, dry-pot shrimp, and bought a bottle of cola."

Facing Chen Yi's broken mentality, Xia Keke timely lifted the bag in her hand, using the aroma of the dry pot to dispel his gloom.

"Thanks. Have you and Xiaoyu eaten yet?"

Chen Yi took the bag, took out the cola, and took a big gulp. His mood immediately brightened.

"We ate. We went out together for dry-pot chicken."

Chen Yi opened the food container, picked up a shrimp, and tasted it. "This dry pot tastes good. Which shop did you get it from?"

"A new shop that just opened in Zhengda Plaza, not far from here."

Chen Yi nodded, ate several more shrimp, and casually asked, "How do you and Xiaoyu feel about the new Manager He who joined the company recently?"

"She's quite good. In the two days since she joined, she's reportedly already negotiated a deal for a struggling machinery manufacturing plant, preparing to acquire and merge it into Yifei's production and manufacturing department to increase the production capacity of Yifei's drones and model aircraft.

Yifei's industrial and commercial restructuring is also nearing completion these past few days.

The new office headquarters has been confirmed, and the construction and renovation team started today. We'll be able to move in soon.

We long-time office employees, Xiaoyu and I, have also received some care.

Besides the normal high-temperature subsidies for summer, the uncles at the factory are also getting extra supplies of herbal tea and watermelon every day.

At the same time, the company has also posted new recruitment notices and salary increase plans, saying they want to hire more skilled workers, increase base salaries, and reduce overtime.

However, these later points don't seem like the style of the new Manager He. It feels more like your idea, boss."

Xia Keke relayed the information she knew and understood, one by one.

As she spoke towards the end, only one thought remained unspoken in her mind.

That was, the new Manager He was good at everything and acted decisively.

There was just one downside.

She didn't quite fit Yifei's corporate culture and values.

Or rather, she didn't mesh with Chen Yi's laid-back, slacking personality.

Even though Chen Yi had been incredibly busy these past few days, working through the night and live-streaming test flights, Xia Keke and Qin Xiaoyu knew his personality well after working at Yifei for several years.

He could be incredibly busy only because these days involved things he liked and was interested in.

If it were something else he disliked or wasn't interested in...

Heh.

You would truly understand what a hands-off boss means, and what leading by example in slacking looks like.

Every time Chen Yi abandoned his work and went to the second floor to tinker with his favorite things, Xia Keke couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

It was truly a miracle that Yifei had come this far.

The fact that she and Qin Xiaoyu had to manage the company's production and operations while also adapting to Chen Yi's irregular slacking was truly remarkable.

If Chen Yi wasn't paying them so much...

She would have quit long ago.

On the other hand, Xiaoyu always felt that Chen Yi was the core of Yifei's operations and the focus of its development.

She would say things like strategy is more important than tactics.

They were just carrying out their work under Chen Yi's guidance.

A complete fool, that one.

"Yifei plans to restructure; the current studio and lab will no longer exist independently."

Chen Yi looked up and asked, "Do you and Xiaoyu want to stay here, or go to the newly established company headquarters?"

"Go to the new company headquarters?"

Xia Keke's expression faltered, and she quickly shook her head, "No, no, no, Xiaoyu and I choose to stay here!"

"Boss, I belong to you in life and death, you can't drive me away!"

Just kidding.

This newcomer, Manager He Yu, was clearly the female CEO type, a decisive and powerful woman. If she went there, she'd be buried under KPI assessments. How could she slack off then? How could she be lazy?

Although she often complained about Chen Yi slacking off and being lazy.

But if the boss doesn't slack off or be lazy, how can the employees have a chance to slack off or be lazy? A boss who works too hard and proactively volunteers for 996 is not a good boss.

"Since you don't want to go, I'll talk to Manager He."

Chen Yi thought for a moment.

The laboratory would be independent. Although he handled all the technical research issues, some people were still needed to manage daily affairs. It was good that Qin Xiaoyu and Xia Keke stayed.

"Notify Manager He that after Yifei's restructuring is complete, we will acquire a few laboratories specializing in materials engineering, chips, and biomaterials."

After confirming the arrangements for Xia Keke and Qin Xiaoyu, Chen Yi gave Xia Keke her first task. It was fine for him to release drone-related technology now, and even a few more black technologies wouldn't be a problem. But if he kept releasing one groundbreaking technology after another, it would be a huge issue. To avoid being dissected or facing relentless, cost-no-object assassination attempts from the other side of the ocean, it would be best to set up a few visible laboratories to divert attention and conceal the source of the technology. As for how to conceal it, that was simple. Technological research tested knowledge depth, but it also tested inspiration and luck. In fact, inspiration and luck were often the key. Ten thousand meticulously calculated experiments might not be as effective as one accidental experimental error. With the Brainwave Virtual Consciousness Machine, he could subtly guide and advise them. The researchers' luck and inspiration could explode in minutes.

Xia Keke received her task and left.

Chen Yi finished his lunch. He began dismantling the AR equipment and computer components one by one, preparing to build an external display and control device. The current Brainwave Virtual Consciousness Machine was good in all aspects, except the helmet design was not ideal. The new energy vehicle market and technology had fully exploded. The Volkswagen Passat had been updated, and the Japanese car market had shrunk. He didn't need to wear a helmet to drive, so going out with one was inconvenient and jarring.

Following the same procedure, he removed the AR device's battery and connected several high-capacity external batteries. He assembled the processor, motherboard, graphics card, and other components into a top-tier computer and connected it to the AR device. Then, using scripts, he configured the computer as the AR device's processing core. Thus, an AR device with explosive battery life and processing power was completed.

After connecting the external computer host and batteries, the AR device's aesthetics and portability dropped to their lowest levels. Chen Yi looked at the attributes of the AR display. After studying it for a while, he had a rough adjustment plan in mind.

"As an external display and control device, the AR can rely on the host for computation and information processing. The focus should be on communication interconnection, portability, operation interconnection, and image display. The remaining strength and aesthetics attributes should be above average. Energy can be recharged, and about ten days should be sufficient."

Different items have different functions, and the focus of attribute adjustment also varies.

Compared to the Brainwave Virtual Consciousness Machine, which requires the pursuit of ultimate performance.

As an external display device, AR does not need to pursue extreme performance, and its attribute focus is also significantly different.

Phew!

A colorful radiance bloomed, enveloping the entire desktop.

When the light faded.

A wristwatch full of technological aesthetics and a slim metal pair of glasses appeared before Chen Yi.
