In the evening, Xia Ming opened the QQ video on his laptop in the living room, which Xiaotang was busy calculating formulas in his room, and Xiao Huan was still resting, and he was ready to solve a puzzle in five minutes.

In the past six months, although Xia Ming has been making money for the institute, he has not forgotten his parents. Just afraid that they would worry and cause unnecessary trouble, they only sent millions of dollars. Other aspects are very important, such as booking health care services at local hospitals, and there are some arrangements for safety.

Even so, my parents were suspicious, and when I used to talk on the phone, my father repeatedly emphasized that he should not engage in any crooked ways. Xia Ming sent back the video of himself in a white coat busy in the laboratory, which satisfied him, although he was just pretending in the video.

Of course, the mother nagged a lot, and the topic was not far from the girlfriend, Xia Ming patted her chest a few times, saying that she had hooked up, and she would definitely bring her daughter-in-law home during the Spring Festival, and this promise was obviously disappointed.

After the video was connected, my father didn't say much as always, just complained that Xia Ming's service was very troublesome, and my mother counted down my father on the side and sold well. After chattering for a while, his parents also understood that he couldn't go home for the holidays.

When her mother dominated the screen, Xia Mingxin said that the main drama was coming.

"She's going to be busy...... Uh......"

The mother asked where the girlfriend was and why she didn't live together. Xia Ming could only support me.

Parents are like this, when it comes to other people's cohabitation, they are shameless and not ashamed, their son does not live with his girlfriend, so he feels that the gold content of this prospective daughter-in-law is insufficient.

Xia Ming was about to cover up the past. Xiaotang came out of the bedroom, and sat beside him with a calm face under Xia Ming's stunned gaze. Then put on a smiling face: "Hello aunt, I am Tang Xiaotang, Xia Ming's friend." ”

Xia Ma paused for a moment, and then smiled as bright as a flower: "Ouch, I thought Xiao Ming was lying to me, it turned out that he wanted to give me a big surprise!" Alas...... Dad, come and see your daughter-in-law! ”

[This is ......]

[I'm afraid that your mother will commit a lack of anxiety disorder for her daughter-in-law. If you have to come to Yandu, if something happens, it will be troublesome, and you don't need to thank you for your friendship sponsorship. 】

[Don't be tsundere.] Honestly admitting that it's my girlfriend hurts my self-esteem? 】

[There is no logic in the matter of emotion, I have to find a rational logic for my behavior. 】

The two of them were talking about God Chat, and they were dealing with Xia's father and Xia's mother, but they didn't notice the movement in the living room. I waited until the sofa sank to react.

Xia Ming was too late. He couldn't bear to dodge, so another gentle body leaned on his other side.

"Hello uncle and aunt, I am Shang Huan and Xia Ming's friend!"

Xiao Huan hugged Xia Ming's arm and greeted, and in the video, Xia's father and Xia's mother's face suddenly froze again.

Fortunately, his parents are also very skilled, and after relieving, they didn't directly ask Xia Ming who was the real girlfriend, but greeted Xiao Huan. It's just that Xia Ma's eyes kept hitting back and forth on the two girls.

Xiaotang's face remained unchanged, and she said, "I'm still busy." Xiao Huan chatted with her uncle and aunt", and wanted to get up.

Xia Ming simply stretched out his arm around her waist and pressed her firmly on the sofa.

Xiaotang said angrily on the god chat: [Do you really want to enjoy the blessings of Qi people? 】

Xia Ming said: [As soon as you leave, don't you let your parents confirm that Xiao Huan is my girlfriend? ] 】

[It turns out that who your girlfriend is must be confirmed by your parents?] 】

[Isn't it the best of both worlds to be recognized by your family? 】

Xiaotang's tone was a little gloomy: [I don't have a family member to recognize you, so I don't need your family's approval. 】

Thinking of the death of her parents, Xia Ming was a little gloomy: [Don't give up hope, Xiao Huan is a patient, let her mess around this time. 】

Xiaotang was silent for a moment, and his body was no longer exerting.

Then Xia Ming secretly took a cool breath, it was refreshing.

Xiaotang, like Xiao Huan, not only leaned close to Xia Ming with his body, but also hugged Xia Ming with one arm and mixed it into the topic of Xiao Huan and Xia's father and Xia's mother.

Xiaotang smiled on the chat: [I'll cooperate with you well, but how to explain it to your parents, it's none of my business.] 】

So Xia Ming hugged left and right, facing the gaze of his parents, his back was sweating.

At the end of the video, the three of them maintained their previous posture, did not move or speak for a while, and the atmosphere in the living room was quite strange.

Xiaotang still stood up, rubbed Xiao Huan's head and said, "Okay, satisfied, go back and rest." ”

Xiao Huan was a little scared: "I'm so scared to sleep alone, I want to ......"

Seeing Xiaotang's eyes narrowing slightly, Xiao Huan got up and hugged her: "I want you to sleep with me!" ”

Xia Ming fell on the sofa, and he suddenly felt that his emotional life was also in a state of quantum entanglement......

will pay attention to the details of the relationship, indicating that the business is not busy enough, so Xia Ming cheered up and put all his body and mind into work before the Spring Festival.

He also joined Lin Cheng's ongoing detailed design of the Terminator neuronal chip, in his plan, the Terminator is the core of the future industrial blueprint, and the key to the large-scale promotion of Qianyan's black technology. With this foundation, even if it cannot become IBM and Intel in the future, it will have the power to disrupt the entire IT industry like AMD.

However, Lin Cheng is not so conservative, he feels that relying on this technology, the illusion will become IBM and Intel in the future.

Xia Ming also thought, it's just that such a prospect can't fall from the sky, and it must come out step by step in a down-to-earth manner.

The Clover architecture is such a step, and it can be regarded as a foreshadowing and transition before the success of the Terminator neuronal chip. For this reason, Xia Ming is also urging Li Diluo, asking for communication with various board and accessories manufacturers to speed up the progress. Don't ask for a hundred responses, as long as one or two manufacturers are caught in each field.

Li Diluo passed the pressure on to Hu Shanhai, the director of the general hardware division of Cicada Movement, and Hu Shanhai had to turn into a trapeze artist, and he was still on the plane until the thirtieth of the Chinese New Year's Eve. Relying on the hard work of him and the employees of the business department, not only won several board brands such as Gigabyte, but also more than a dozen companies that were willing to try the clover architecture for chassis power supplies.

Clover's crowdfunding project is also available on Cactus in China and Kickstarter in the United States. In just five days, the $10 million and $2 million projects were successful. It is expected that by the end of crowdfunding, these two advertising and pre-sale projects will be able to get hundreds of millions of revenues.

Wait until after the Spring Festival. The Clover architecture is officially launched, and it is believed that it will cause a magnitude 10 earthquake in the computer field. Li Diluo originally said that it was a twelve-magnitude earthquake, but Lin Cheng said that when the Terminator chip came out, the propaganda should not be said to be burning the earth to glass? So I had to aggrievedly drop two levels.

In Li Diluo's view, the future of "Phantom Galaxy" really has the shocking significance of burning glass. Now the game has entered the second large-scale closed beta, and the scale has expanded to 20,000 people online. With the addition of Hang Xiangbei in development, the gameplay of the second test has been greatly improved. began to dilute the initial cold taste of scientific research, and the United States has a heavy layout of Arida, and its influence has also risen to a big level.

At the dinner party of the Chinese New Year's Eve. Li Diluo said that after "Phantom Galaxy" is charged, it will definitely become the most profitable cash cow for cicadas and illusions. He patted his chest and assured that the game would have more than 10 million active online users after its launch. Operates on an hourly basis. There are at least hundreds of millions of dollars in income every month, and if you include transaction taxes and value-added items, you won't have to run two billion dollars a year.

Hang Xiangbei feels that this is far from the upper limit of Cicada Games, in his mind, Cicada Games will definitely be among the top five global game companies within three years.

There is some factual basis for his opinion, and Lawrence has just sent two pieces of good news from the United States.

One is the Polish CDPR, the game company that developed "The Witcher 3" and "Cyberpunk 2077", which is known for its quality and conscience. Decided to collaborate with Illusion and establish a North American studio. Cyberpunk 2099 was developed with the Alfalfa engine.

It is said that several core members of CDPR made this decision after participating in the first beta of Galaxy of Illusions, and for this reason, they also shelved the development of The Witcher 4, much to the disappointment of many Wizard fans. However, CDPR said that with the powerful editing capabilities of the Alfalfa engine and the full assistance provided by Illusion, the development progress of "Cyberpunk 2099" will be accelerated by three times, and it will be released within the year. With this experience, it will only be better and faster to turn around and develop The Witcher 4.

The second good news is even more significant, although B did not agree to sell id, but for the performance of "Galaxy of Illusions" and the positive attitude of CDPR, it agreed to license the development of "DOOM5" to Illusion, and at the same time "lend" the original team of id studio to Cicada Movement, and Cicada Movement USA set up a new studio for development.

Company B is very shrewd in its calculations, not only to continue to retain the golden sign of id, but also to continue the glory of the "DOOM" series. If the American Cicada doesn't get "DOOM5" right, you can still use the name of licensed development to dump the pot, and the next game will be replaced with the ID signboard and continue to use it.

After Lawrence reported the plan of Company B to Xia Ming, Xia Ming agreed without hesitation. In his opinion, it doesn't matter if he can't get it, the DOOM series is even more significant when it shines and comes back to life on the Alfalfa engine. By the time the new studio makes a name for itself with DOOM5, Company B's calculations will only hit themselves in the foot.

For this reason, he specially named this new studio: Synacyber, which is a fusion of the two terms synapse and information control Cybernetics, and in Chinese it is called "Sibo", which means "thinking cyber". Xia Ming believes that this word will soon be included in the English dictionary and become a noun with many meanings.

The dinner party was held at Xia Ming's residence, a large round table, a nine-square grid shabu-shabu, eating is not the point, the point is that only Xia Ming's most trusted people are eligible to participate in this family-style dinner.

Xia Ming, Lin Cheng, Xiaotang and Xiao Huan are the hosts, and the only guests are Li Diluo, Wu Sihao, Liluo, Yi Liqing and Hang Xiangbei. These people are either qualified to share secrets, or their net worth is all on the side of the research institute and Xia Ming.

Others, such as He Xinghui and Hu Jun at the institute, as well as Zhang Zhicheng and Liu Yiru, will not be left out in the cold, but they will hold another dinner party in a high-end venue instead of this kind of family gathering.

Listening to Xia Ming explain Synacyber in a flashy manner, Xiaotang said that it was a waste of good ideas, and the artificial intelligence of Prometheus PC was more suitable for this name.

The development of this weak artificial intelligence has indeed greatly exceeded expectations, and Xiaotang, as the original idea, simply threw the pot to Xia Ming. In the plan, this artificial intelligence will be upgraded to a higher-level management software in the new version with the release of Clover, and the name naturally has to get rid of the shackles of Prometheus, and the responsibility of choosing the name has fallen on Xia Ming, which makes him scratch his head very much.

"Let's wait until the power armor thing is done", in the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Xia Ming also committed laziness.

"Speaking ......", Wu Sihao did not touch the power armor project, and was very curious: "Is our plan sure to bid?" ”

Lin Cheng, Li Diluo and Yi Liqing rolled their eyes at him at the same time, not sure? Not sure they would dare to invest so much? Didn't you hear that Queen Tang wanted to cut this project before?

Xia Ming didn't speak, he vaguely felt that his own plan was definitely technically fine, but technology was not everything, and he didn't feel completely sure about the bidding in a few days. (To be continued.) )
