Background / History

Founding and First Contracts

Ye Fan established the company after earning money and recognition through programming bounties. He registered the business, rented a sparsely furnished office on the city outskirts, purchased computers and servers, and installed fiber-optic internet. He moved into the office, using separate rooms for sleeping and server storage 7.

Its first product was the X System, a mobile operating system developed by Ye Fan alone. He initially distributed a trial through the 61 Program Website under his identity as K, drawing the attention of major phone manufacturers. Once they sought negotiations, he removed the public package and brought representatives of four competing companies into one group chat 8 10 13.

Ye Fan refused a buyout and set a nonexclusive price of ten yuan per phone. The resulting contracts generated a flood of activation-code purchases, with transactions quickly exceeding one million. Staff learned that their employer was Code K when Lu Bo recognized the system and explained Ye Fan’s programming achievements 10 13.

Recruitment and Research Expansion

Initial recruitment produced only about a dozen employees. Ye Fan rejected applicants who lacked ability or integrity, including Shao Chenxu, whose concealed financial misconduct was exposed during his interview. A subsequent headhunting attempt also failed when Ye Fan found that the recommended candidates’ abilities had been exaggerated 11 12 14.

Lu Bo’s online announcement that he worked for Code K attracted programmers from across the country. By June 25, the company had nearly eighty employees, including more than forty programmers, and shifted recruitment toward researchers and developers 14 16.

After acquiring Graphene Phone Technology, Ye Fan directed Qin Jiang to investigate land purchases, acquisitions, laboratories, and manufacturing facilities. Several struggling mobile-camera component companies were acquired primarily for their experienced researchers rather than their existing technology 16 17.

Smartphone Supply Crisis

The Four Major Mobile Phone Groups publicly adopted the X System at their June 28 conference. Sony and Samsung subsequently attacked their supply chains through camera-price increases, component-sale restrictions, and aggressive pricing. Falling phone-company stocks led investors and consumers to blame Future Technology Crystal Company 18 20 21.

The company had already developed replacement camera, flash-memory, display, and battery technologies, but Ye Fan delayed their release. He intended to intervene when the manufacturers most needed assistance, gaining their gratitude and securing publicity for the company’s game 20 24.

Ye Fan then offered the new component patents without charge in exchange for game promotion. Privately, he intended to make the phone groups dependent on his technology and position them as manufacturing and supply-chain partners for his eventual Graphene Phone. The transferred technologies were simplified versions that he expected later upgrades to surpass 26.

At the subsequent conference, Future Technology Crystal Company was publicly credited with the new flash memory and under-screen cameras. The four manufacturers announced a permanent partnership and promised legal action against those who defamed the company 29 30.

Gaming Success and Legal Conflict

The company developed and released Warfire Hero, which reached approximately 400,000 online players within two days. Competing game companies attempted to extract its graphics, compression, and large-battle technology, but could not penetrate its protected core 35 36.

Bluehole alleged extensive similarities to PUBG and announced a federal-court lawsuit demanding removal of the game and $30 million for each alleged infringement. Future Technology submitted its core code for public release, prompting rivals to assume it had surrendered its technological advantage 36 37 39 40.

The released code instead exposed a Chinese-character programming system arranged in lotus-shaped structures that outside experts could not decipher. The Federal Court formally rejected Bluehole’s complaint, declared that Warfire Hero’s core code had nothing to do with PUBG, and warned Bluehole against further false accusations 42 44 46.

Ye Fan followed the disclosure with public instruction in Chinese-Character Programming. Qin Jiang interpreted this openness as protection against governments or powerful organizations attempting to seize technology available only through the company 45 47.

Products & Technologies

X System

A mobile operating system built from more than 180 matrix-array groups, described as at least twenty years ahead of contemporary technology 7 8.

• Performance: Boots Ye Fan’s nearly three-year-old phone in three seconds and substantially improves responsiveness 8.
• Compression: Automatically reduces file downloads; the initial example compresses a 3 GB download to 1.5 GB 7.
• Security: Detects and removes viruses, repairs damaged areas, and updates its defenses through an embedded artificial-intelligence core 8.
• Testing: Li Bo’s old phone achieves a benchmark score of 456,243 after installation 8.
• Distribution: Download access is paired with paid activation codes; manufacturer licensing costs ten yuan per phone 10.

Smartphone Components

Technology	Documented capability / development
Camera sensor	Personally completed by Ye Fan; reported to outperform the sensors of Micron, Sharp, and Sony 17.
Under-screen cameras	Successfully manufactured before the supply-crisis resolution; enable notch-free phones with cameras concealed beneath the display 20 28 30.
BOYS camera technology	Presented with seventy-million-pixel resolution and claimed performance exceeding many DSLR cameras 30.
Flash memory	Ready for mass production; demonstrated upload speeds of 2,000 MB/s and memory speeds of 1,800 MB/s 20 29.

Graphene Phone	Technology acquired by Ye Fan, including graphene manufacturing, photonic chips, magnetic energy, displays, and cameras; production remains constrained by facilities and equipment 16 39.

Warfire Hero

A battle-royale-style war game developed from Ye Fan’s framework and technical materials, with Guo Yang organizing teams for framework construction, weapon data, maps, and graphics optimization 17 18.

• Battle scale: Supports thousand-player battles on a large weapon-filled island 17 31 32.
• Optimization: Advanced compression allows detailed graphics and smooth operation on low-end computers 17 32.
• Server capacity: Pre-release testing reports support for 600,000 players, with nearly 300,000 bots available to fill matchmaking gaps 26.
• Early matchmaking: Guo Yang uses AI opponents to provide complete matches while the player population is still developing 32.
• Anti-cheat protection: Bluehole technicians fail to modify the game through Trojans or other intrusion methods because of its X System and protected Core Code 36.
• Monetization: Free access with cosmetic skins and equipment sold and traded through the official website; skins do not alter gameplay and can also be earned through achievements 35.
• Underlying technology: Ye Fan identifies the acquired game technology as holographic, although its released form is played on conventional computers 32 40.

Chinese-Character Programming

The programming system underlying Warfire Hero’s core uses Chinese radical-script characters arranged into lotus-like drive arrays 44 45.

• The Federal Court confirms that the submitted array functions and directly launches the game, despite its technicians being unable to explain its internal computation 42.
• Ye Fan teaches foundational principles to company programmers and later permits recording and livestreaming of his public lecture 42 45.
• He describes its logic and linguistic structure as incompatible with English-based programming attacks, giving it exceptional security 47.

Advanced Computing Research

• Super Brain Computer: Ye Fan’s unfinished system performs surveillance searches, tracking, and encrypted-file decryption while less than five percent complete 21.
• Artificial intelligence: Its Core Code reaches 15% completion after nearly half a month. The prototype contains 13,000 Central Drive Arrays, with every three arrays described as equivalent to one X System 41.
• Quantum computing: Ye Fan acquires Quantum Computer Technology for 50,000 Reputation Points, intending to use it to run artificial intelligence. Construction remains limited by precious-material requirements and unfinished facilities 23 39.
