When Xu Dan arrived at Antarctic Technology the next day, before he even mentioned the super-degradation technology, someone raised an important matter first.
Antarctic Technology Co., Ltd. is a subsidiary of Antarctic Enterprise, formerly known as the Hardware Development Department of Antarctic Games.
When that department reached a certain scale, Xu Dan separated it and established what is now Antarctic Technology Company.
In its early days, this subsidiary focused on developing various types of hardware—such as an external lightspeed hard drive for playing StarCraft.
Among consumers, it even earned a nickname: "Antarctic Black Tech."
As the name suggests, Antarctic Technology gradually built up a large following on its own. It was no longer satisfied with merely developing peripheral hardware and had long since begun independently manufacturing electronic products.
What was most interesting was that its management system was an anomaly among thousands of companies worldwide.
Everything was supervised by an intelligent program called the Red Queen.
When Xu Dan arrived, the Red Queen informed him that Antarctic Technology had independently developed a smartphone.
Smartphones were practically a necessity in this era. In the United States, the wildly popular brand "Love Madness" currently produced the world's T1-tier smartphones.
In the future, Huaxia was expected to surpass Love Madness.
There was still plenty that could be done in the smartphone field.
For example—mobile games.
Mobile games generated enormous profits. First, the user base for smartphones was massive. With such a foundation, there was no worry about a game lacking an audience. In his previous life, there had even been a mobile game that eventually evolved into an e-sports league! Five people would sit together competing to see who could activate their ultimate move the fastest.
Second, mobile games were convenient. Although virtual reality games had already been released, only 100 million helmets had been distributed. Facing billions of players worldwide, that number was far from sufficient. Moreover, players still had to work; not everyone had endless free time. Being able to squeeze in a simple yet thrilling mobile game during busy moments—wasn't that perfect?
The profits of mobile games were indeed high. But compared to what the Red Queen was about to say, they seemed insignificant—and that matter would come a bit later.
"Master, this smartphone is implanted with an artificial intelligence butler. Of course, many smartphones are doing this now. But Love Madness's Siri is nowhere near comparable to ours."
Xu Dan took the "phone" into his hand.
To be precise, it looked more like a wristband.
But no one had ever said that phones must be brick-shaped.
While others were still fighting for full-screen displays, Antarctic Technology had already introduced a brand-new form.
Xu Dan tapped the "phone," and a virtual screen projected outward from the wristband. Stark Industries had long mastered this technology, but it had always remained exclusive and had never been commercialized.
Xu Dan, however, was different. He never concealed his technology—because no one could possibly catch up.
The probability of anyone else on Earth matching Antarctic Technology wasn't 0.1% or 0.01%.
It was a complete zero.
Thus, Antarctic Technology never hid its secrets. However advanced the black tech could be, they would develop it to that level.
"Hello. I am your personal intelligent butler. Please assign a name."
An electronic voice sounded from the device.
Xu Dan paused slightly, thinking the Red Queen was being playful.
Although the voice was electronically synthesized, it sounded almost too intelligent—practically like conversing with a real person.
At present, the only entities in the world that could truly be called "intelligent" were Jarvis and the Red Queen.
After confirming several times, Xu Dan replied, "Name: One-Two-Three."
"One-Two-Three naming successful. Hello, I am your personal intelligent butler, One-Two-Three. How should I address you?"
"Xu Dan."
"Hello, Mr. Xu Dan. Butler One-Two-Three will serve you wholeheartedly."
"Hmm… Why does that sound a bit like Jarvis?" Xu Dan asked the Red Queen.
The Red Queen smiled slightly. "In essence, it's equivalent to a castrated version of Jarvis. Jarvis was originally a butler program. As long as I wish, I can create hundreds of Jarvis at the same time. Of course, the intelligent butler inside this phone is strictly limited to the scope of a 'butler program.' It will not cross boundaries the way Jarvis does."
Xu Dan was satisfied with that explanation. Although Tony's Jarvis was far inferior to the Red Queen, in the eyes of ordinary people it was practically the god of electronics and the god of networks.
If such intelligent programs flooded the world, who could guarantee that all buyers would be good people?
If criminals used this smartphone to commit crimes, Antarctic Technology would bear responsibility.
By restricting each personal intelligent butler to a limited domain, the Red Queen had made the correct choice.
In this way, releasing personal intelligent butlers would only make life more convenient—and might even ease the loneliness of some isolated individuals.
"This is good," Xu Dan praised.
The Red Queen's intelligence level was constantly improving. As an intelligent program, she continued learning. Xu Dan often made sudden refinements to her code, gradually turning her into something more and more like a real person living in the electronic world.
Hearing the praise, the Red Queen smiled happily and spun lightly in her dress.
"Hee-hee. When does Master plan to release this smartphone?"
"As soon as possible. Others may wait for the right timing, or build hype. We don't need to. We ourselves are the timing. We are the hype."
Who in today's world would dare deny that Antarctic Enterprise was the industry leader?
In gaming—who could compete with Antarctica?
In biotechnology, Antarctic Bio was flawless.
In military industry… no one would object.
If Antarctic Enterprise was not the defining force of this era, then who was?
Its topics were already the hottest in the world.
If Xu Dan posted on the Antarctic forum, it would explode within minutes.
People might not even read what he wrote. As long as they saw the name "Xu Dan," they would comment first and read later!
"Then I'll give you a task," Xu Dan said. "I expect 100,000 units within one month."
"One hundred thousand units?!" Xu Dan exclaimed in shock.
Wasn't that equivalent to producing over 3,000 units per day?
