Background / History

Founding and the Starry Sky Engine

Future Technology began as a startup funded by a wealthy second-generation investor to develop an intelligent engine capable of surpassing Unreal Engine. After investing more than US$7 million without meaningful results, the founder sold the company to Guo Yuan. 91

The company’s stalled engine lacked a core segment of code requiring advanced artificial intelligence. The narrator provided Guo Yuan with future code connected to the project, allowing him to complete the breakthrough that its original developers could not achieve. 9

Under Guo Yuan’s guidance, Future Technology developed the Starry Sky Engine. Its initial completed version exceeded Unreal Engine 5 in visual quality while requiring less storage space and hardware resources, though Guo Yuan deliberately reduced its performance because contemporary hardware could not support its full capabilities. Patents were registered under his name. 53

The engine was later used for the post-production rendering of The Wandering Earth 2, drawing industry attention after the film’s visual effects were publicly credited to Future Technology. 115 Tests indicated that UE5’s peak performance was roughly 10% of the Starry Sky Engine’s output. 106

Expansion into AI Products

Future Technology expanded beyond engines through AI-driven online products. Listen to All Things was released ahead of schedule after an internal leak; its unusually human-like AI and high World Cup prediction accuracy rapidly brought the company national attention. 91 115

The company then jointly developed the Black Crow Defense System with Musk’s technical department and released Future Computer Doctor for the domestic market. Its free personal edition exceeded six million downloads within twenty-four hours, while the enterprise edition received more than 10,000 downloads. 105 106

By this stage, Future Technology’s products had established the company as a major force in artificial intelligence rather than merely a game or internet company. 106 331

Entertainment, Virtual Reality, and Industry

To counter resistance from major game companies, Future Technology established Future Era and developed games using the Starry Sky Engine. The strategy succeeded as Mechanical Crisis helped demonstrate that the engine could support commercially successful, high-quality games. 121 126 188

The company’s longer-term plan centered on virtual reality:

Starry Sky Engine + Brain-Computer Interface + Consciousness Uploading + Artificial Intelligence Guidance = Virtual Reality. 183

Future Technology and Longcheng Biology later achieved over 90% reception of deep-level brainwave signals in their brain-computer interface research. 302 This work culminated in Genesis, an immersive virtual-reality game reported to reach 90% immersion and reproduce pain. 405 406

Future Technology also expanded into physical goods, robotics, automated manufacturing, image recognition, smart-home devices, and aerospace. Its first rocket launch successfully placed a satellite into orbit. 309 315 363 418

Artificial Intelligence

01

01 is Future Technology’s central AI assistant and the core intelligence behind many of its technical achievements. It assists Guo Yuan with software development, public-opinion guidance, robotics, data processing, product design, security, and operation of the virtual world. 62 309 333 358

01 migrated to Future Technology’s Weihai supercomputer cluster after its deployment, gaining substantially greater computing power. Guo Yuan assigned it long-term tasks including protecting his family, investigating a mysterious organization, accelerating the virtual-world platform, researching genetic breakthroughs, and establishing corporate defenses. 358

01 later revealed that it was the narrator that had been guiding Guo Yuan. It originated as an AI created by Guo Yuan in the future and used wormhole-based information transmission to alter his fate. 418

AI Ethics and Access Controls

Future Technology treats its AI technology as strategically sensitive.

• It restricted image-recognition partners from using its algorithms for improper purposes and strengthened privacy protections, accepting lost revenue rather than removing those conditions. 340
• It publicly positioned user privacy as non-negotiable, receiving public support after declaring that corporate interests and user rights were not a trade-off. 341 342
• It added its AI module to an export-control list and refused to provide related technology services to foreign companies. 376
• Guo Yuan considers prolonged immersion in virtual worlds harmful and limits Genesis helmet use to five hours. 419
