Oriental Hollywood Completed

At the start of the new year, the system once again distributed new technologies.

The technology used this time is quite groundbreaking; it's a complete suite of virtual reality technologies.

It includes smart head-mounted devices, full-body sensing suits, holographic projection technology, holographic interactive technology, and more...

It's as vast as the ocean.

Any one of these technologies, no matter how many times it's modified or nerfed, will still be a groundbreaking technology.

After much deliberation, Zhang Yang decided to first launch a smart head-mounted device, namely VR glasses.

There are many VR glasses products on the market.

However, breakthroughs have been largely elusive. Even the world's top tech giants have struggled with issues like weight, battery life, motion sickness, and ecosystem problems when developing VR devices.

However, these problems have been perfectly solved with the newly acquired technology.

The headset in this virtual reality technology is so thin and light that it's almost like glasses, incredibly small, yet it still gives people an immersive feeling as if they are in the real world.

When paired with a full-body sensory suit, one can immerse themselves in the virtual world almost without leaving home.

It's almost a 100% replica of the virtual reality equipment from the movie Ready Player One.

In addition, its battery life has also been improved. The new battery technology used in this device is enough to last for a week of intensive use on a single charge.

This battery technology alone is a game-changer; it could easily be a game-changer in any smart device.

As for the ecosystem, the device comes with over a hundred applications, including a globally interconnected virtual reality game that's a killer feature. Once the device sells out, other manufacturers will naturally be eager to provide their own application ecosystem.

This time, Zhang Yang isn't going to take a piecemeal approach. He's preparing a product that will directly usher in the true era of virtual reality.

But before that, there is still a lot of preparatory work to be done and laid the groundwork.

This year was a year of dormancy for Cloud Sea Technology.

In terms of talent: Cloud Sea Technology offers top-tier compensation packages in the industry, attracting top talent from all over the world to enrich the company's talent pool and enhance its R&D capabilities.

In terms of supply chain: further integrate upstream and downstream supply chains to form a complete supply system.

Own super factory: Further expand production capacity

Acquisitions: Acquired multiple companies involved in semiconductors, new energy, and other related fields.

Outlets: Offline store network coverage has been further expanded, with flagship stores opened in major cities around the world.

To be honest, no company in the world burns money like this. Any one of these items alone would require a huge amount of money, let alone all of them together.

Having secured absolute control, the natural next step is to initiate a new round of financing.

Giants and capital are lining up to enter the market.

With funding in the billions of dollars, Cloud Sea Technology's valuation has once again skyrocketed to 100 billion dollars.

It is undoubtedly a behemoth in the technology industry.

It's obvious to anyone with eyes to see that Cloud Sea Technology is about to make a big move.

However, no one can say for sure what kind of major operation it will involve.

At its new product launch that year, Cloud Sea Technology released a series of smart home devices as usual; however, no groundbreaking product like the simulated dog appeared.

Even though lifelike dogs have become a global bestseller.

However, there are still various doubts.

Questions have been raised about whether the company, relying solely on its simulated dog and a range of cloud-based intelligent devices, can justify such a valuation.

Faced with a series of doubts, Cloud Sea Technology turned a deaf ear and began to accumulate strength and lie low until the next groundbreaking product was launched.

In China, however, it took several years.

The Huaying Film and Television Base has finally been completed.

In terms of scale and positioning, it absolutely lives up to its name as the Hollywood of the East.

This place boasts the world's top-tier photography studios, the world's tallest Ferris wheel, and while not the largest in scale, its antique-style architectural complex is undeniably superior in terms of quality. It also features a super five-star hotel, resort, and top-tier shopping center...

It was a colossal behemoth.

The opening ceremony was a star-studded affair, attracting half of China's entertainment industry.

Saying it accounts for half of the country is not entirely accurate.

To be precise, everyone who could come came.

Big-name directors, big-name producers, numerous capital film and television companies in the domestic entertainment industry, and a sea of A-list celebrities at a glance.

A large number of filmmakers from Hollywood came to show their support.

Zhang Yang, dressed in a formal suit, attended the event surrounded by many A-list celebrities from his own company Guangrui Media, truly a star-studded affair.

Yes, in just a few years, with his strong capital backing, a large number of artists under Guangrui Media have achieved long-term development.

Tian Chuxi, who jumped to fame back then, is not only a film queen, but her singing career has also been discovered and even surpassed others. She has created countless memorable moments at her concerts in China and is now a dual-threat queen who spans the film and music industries.

With the support of various resources, Ouyang Feifei's acting career has flourished in recent years, producing a string of excellent works, making her a well-deserved top-tier actress.

Besides them, Guangrui Media, from boy groups and girl groups to second and third-tier stars, and even near-first-tier stars standing at the top of the pyramid.

Everyone knows that Guangrui Media has powerful resources and can promote whomever it wants; it's practically the Whampoa Military Academy of the entertainment industry.

"Hello, Mr. Zhang."

"Congratulations on the opening of Oriental Hollywood, Mr. Zhang."

"Mr. Zhang, my contract has ended. Are you welcome to come to Guangrui?"

Several stunningly beautiful A-list actresses approached Zhang Yang to chat and flirt, trying to make a good impression on him.

"You're welcome anytime," Zhang Yang said with a smile.

Most companies naturally cannot have two tigers on one mountain, because resources are limited.

However, this kind of problem naturally doesn't exist at Guangrui Media; no matter how many people come, there are always resources available.

Big production, various announcements, variety shows.

The higher your value, the more resources you can obtain. And to be honest, he actually prefers to cultivate and discover new talent rather than have big names jump ship to him.

Because the feeling of watching a small flower bud transform and grow step by step until it becomes the center of attention is quite fulfilling.

Along this short journey, Zhang Yang stopped frequently. Countless filmmakers, directors, and producers from the Chinese entertainment industry surrounded him to chat. There was even a group of fearless new-generation girl groups who boldly approached Zhang Yang to ask for photos.

He has indeed become a national heartthrob.

He's not the kind of male god who's all show and no substance, nor is he the so-called male god of the entertainment industry. He's a true male god who has descended from heaven. He's a national male god who embodies the identities of a business tycoon, a rising star in the technology industry, and a figure who transcends capital.

Standing at the highest point of the Huaying Film and Television Base, looking down, the Huaying Film and Television Base, which cost tens of billions of yuan and took several years to build, is incredibly magnificent, and the Ferris wheel in the distance seems to have become part of the Beijing skyline.

Zhang Yang was filled with emotion, yet he deeply felt that he could no longer stop moving forward.

He has so many grand things to do.

Others may not understand how big this business has to be to be considered big! Take Cloud Sea Technology for example, which is valued at hundreds of billions of US dollars. Once it goes public, it will be an unimaginable behemoth.

Given his absolute controlling stake, this one industry alone is enough to propel him to the top of the list of richest people in mainland China.

But only he himself knew.

This is just the beginning.

This is only the first step in the long march.

His journey was destined for the stars and the sea.

Just as her thoughts were racing, she suddenly felt a gentle warmth in her arm. Turning her head, she saw Tian Chuxi leaning gently against her.

"Shall we take a picture together?"

"A group photo?" Zhang Yang smiled, looked back at the distance, and saw a large group of people busy standing together, but the center position was still reserved.

As for who it will be left to, that goes without saying.

"Wait a bit."

"Why do you seem to have something on your mind?" Tian Chuxi asked softly. "I really can't imagine that there could be someone in this world who could make you..."

"You really think I'm some kind of immortal, without desires or wants, living a carefree and unrestrained life?" Zhang Yang laughed, putting his arm around Tian Chuxi's waist. "In this world, once you earn a thousand coins, you want ten thousand; once you become an emperor, you want to become an immortal. You can't stop."

"Do you have any unfulfilled wishes?" Tian Chuxi asked, puzzled.

"Yes, but what I'm pursuing... is even more unattainable." Zhang Yang looked at the distant buildings. "I also want to be carefree and unrestrained. But wait, maybe one day I'll get tired and stop."

He put his arm around Tian Chuxi, and together they turned and walked towards the crowd.

Their relationship was known to everyone, but no one found it strange, and no one dared to say a word.

There were many media outlets present, but none of them dared to try to publish any sensational news.

They wouldn't dare even if they had a hundred lives.

Inside a secret testing base in the Gangge Republic.

Zhang Yang saw the first-generation simulator of the first generation of humanoids.

Because there are no technical difficulties to overcome, all the technical reserves are readily available; all that's needed is time to digest them.

Therefore, the development of humanoid simulators is progressing at an astonishingly fast pace.

The prototype has already appeared.

The android before us is merely a mechanical structure without simulated skin; its extremely complex and intricate mechanical structure represents the pinnacle of human industrial history.

"Can it move?" Zhang Yang looked at the researchers on both sides.

"Mr. Zhang, the biochip hasn't been installed yet." The researchers quickly retrieved the biochip.

The most advanced biochips will have to wait.

This biochip is a product of the entire group's resources, having exhausted all its technological reserves. It has limited computing power and cannot support the true artificial intelligence it possesses. It can only perform movement-related functions and some relatively difficult human-like movements.

According to the system description, a true humanoid simulator even has self-learning capabilities, capable of autonomously executing complex tasks according to a simple command, to the point that it is difficult to distinguish between real and fake.

As for the android in front of us?

A moment later, the biochip was successfully installed.

The mechanical structure, which had just seemed like a lifeless lump, suddenly came to life.

He stood still, stretching his joints and waist.

His entire body was made of metal, gleaming with a faint metallic sheen. Under the light, he looked like a Terminator.

"Running!"

"Jump!"

"Front flip! Back flip!"

A series of complex action commands were issued.

The lifelike human performed each movement perfectly and smoothly. Not to mention comparing it to a human, some of the more difficult movements are even beyond the capabilities of most people.

But he did it with ease.

"Is it possible to fight?" Zhang Yang blinked, a sudden inspiration flashing through his mind.

"Theoretically, it's fine. We just need to add a combat module to the chip," the scientist beside him said. "We've already fully mastered the basic movement functions."

The so-called battle.

Shooting, combat, and other martial arts all fall under the category of sports.

"Let's focus on combat for now," a thought flashed through Zhang Yang's mind.

Since there is still a hardware gap to overcome before we can create truly lifelike humans, this gap is limited by the current level of technology in the world.

It won't be a breakthrough anytime soon.

Let's keep it simple and build it like a war machine.

He couldn't even imagine what it would be like to see a group of Terminators appear on the battlefield.

Fearless of death, possessing exceptional combat skills and unerring marksmanship—isn't this the epitome of a mass-produced elite soldier?

Even a top-tier soldier would die if hit by a single bullet.

However, if you work on the materials used in his combat simulator, unless you hit a vital spot, it's not something that can be taken down with just one burst of bullets.

As for advanced ideas, that's both a deficiency and a benefit. What need is there for advanced ideas among a group of cold-blooded war machines? Their silence and ruthlessness perfectly fit their persona.

Initially, naturally, not many can be produced.

This thing can't be completely automated into mass production.

Let's test the waters first.

His Honey Badger Security has now expanded Gango to all of Africa, and its operations are currently in full swing across the Africa.

These simulated combat robots were first deployed to the Honey Badger Security to test their effectiveness in real combat.

Zhang Yang's thirtieth birthday was celebrated on a private island in the South Pacific.

Zhang Yang bought the island last year.

The island boasts clear blue skies and crystal-clear waters, resembling a paradise on earth, and is fully equipped with all necessary facilities.

Zhang Yang spent a lot of money to further transform the island, and now it is a true paradise.

You won't know how wonderfully hidden the island is until you visit it.

When Zhang Yang's friends from the entertainment industry arrived on Zhang Yang island by seaplane to celebrate his birthday, they were immediately stunned by the island's extravagance.

"That's incredibly extravagant!"

Even though they came from wealthy families, they were all shocked by what they saw.

"Brother Zhang, have I arrived in heaven?"

"Such a paradise exists in this world? Is this something I could ever see?" Everyone was in awe of what they saw before them.

Zhang Yang smiled to himself.

Leaving aside the cost of buying the island, the subsequent renovations alone have cost nearly two billion yuan.

Of course, this is small change.

Moreover, this island is essentially my private Maldives, so I'll have plenty of things to do for vacations and relaxation. It's definitely worth the money.

To celebrate his 30th birthday, he spent a budget of 100 million yuan on a party held on a small island.

Top 100 DJs, bands, and Grammy-winning singers.

He even considered inviting Taylor Swift to perform, but she was on tour at the time, so he had to give up on that idea. He'll definitely do it next time if he has the chance.

In the evenings, there are bonfire parties, fireworks, open-air cocktail parties, and barbecues everywhere.

He was already prepared to party all night.
