175: Chapter 175 This is not a system, it's Taiyi

At the press conference, the visual impact brought by the dual-running of 'shanhai mirror' had yet to dissipate.

Everyone's consciousness was still immersed in those two simultaneously running game worlds, whose graphical details surpassed reality.

Just then, Chen Xu's voice rang out again.

"A powerful brain requires an equally powerful soul to match it."

He stepped forward and directly closed those two game windows.

The screen returned to its initial state, a simple desktop with only a single blue light sphere floating on it.

"Next, I will introduce to everyone the sole partner of the 'Chongming' chip."

"Zhoutian OS, PC Edition."

As soon as this name was mentioned, David Ross, the Microsoft representative in the audience, looked a bit dazed.

The real purpose of their trip was to see the performance of Star Technology's chips and explore potential cooperation; they hadn't expected Star Technology to launch a direct series of offensive moves.

They had prepared dozens of contingency plans, but they never expected to become direct competitors.

"I know many people are curious: how can a brand-new operating system solve the problem of the application ecosystem?"

"Users are used to Windows, used to Office, and used to Photoshop."

"Why on earth would they switch to a brand-new platform that has nothing?"

Chen Xu's question voiced the doubts in everyone's hearts.

An operating system without a software ecosystem, no matter how strong its performance, is just a pretty vase.

"Our solution is very simple."

Chen Xu walked to the control console of that 'Chongming' host and spoke into the microphone.

"Taiyi, I need to prepare a market analysis report regarding the global launch of our PC products."

"The report needs to include shipment data for the global PC market over the past five years, changes in the market share of major competitors, and an analysis of consumer habits in different regions."

"Integrate this data into a visual PPT. The style should be concise, professional, and consistent with our Star Technology visual standards."

"Oh, and help me find a few tech-themed background images from the web to use on the PPT cover."

"I want to see the first draft in ten minutes."

The command was given.

On the screen, that blue sphere of light flickered slightly.

A soft electronic voice sounded.

"Understood, Master. Generating the report for you now."

The next second.

A scene appeared on the screen that amazed the thousands of people present.

There was no cursor movement on the desktop.

However, several windows popped up, performed calculations, and closed on their own.

That was the 'Taiyi' AI directly accessing major global public databases, market analysis report libraries, and news information servers via the network.

Data streams refreshed frantically in a corner of the screen.

An Excel icon launched itself, massive amounts of data were imported, numbers within cells refreshed rapidly, and dozens of complex 3D data model charts were automatically generated.

A Photoshop software icon lit up, several high-definition background images were dragged in, cropped, color-graded, and given lighting effects—the entire process was completed within a second.

Finally, the PowerPoint software opened.

The processed charts, the text summarized and refined by the AI, and the rendered images were automatically laid out onto slides one by one.

Titles.

Body text.

Chart annotations.

All content was being generated at lightning speed and perfectly aligned.

The entire process lacked a single redundant operation.

This wasn't operating a computer at all. This was using thought to directly create information.

At the press conference, everyone was stunned.

They felt like they weren't watching a technology launch, but witnessing a miracle.

In the section for the Microsoft delegation.

The expression on the face of David Ross, President of the China Region, had completely frozen.

He stared at every movement of 'Taiyi' on the screen, fine beads of sweat seeping from his forehead.

He finally understood how foolish and laughable that report he had previously submitted to headquarters—stating that 'Star Technology's focus is on mobile'—actually was.

Chen Xu's goal was never just the mobile end; it was all ends.

He wanted to seize the PC operating system market from Microsoft, or rather, directly monopolize it.

"Everyone, did you see that?"

Chen Xu's voice pulled everyone's thoughts back to reality.

"In 'Zhoutian OS', there are no complex menus, and no folders that require clicking through layers."

"There is no need to learn how to use any software."

"You only need to tell 'Taiyi' your 'intent'."

"Tell it what you want to do, and leave the rest to it."

Chen Xu spread his arms.

"We are ending the era where 'humans learn to use machines'."

"From today onwards, we begin the era where 'machines serve humans'."

His words struck heavily against everyone's hearts.

Just then, a small notification box popped up in the bottom right corner of the screen.

[Report generated, please check.]

From the moment Chen Xu gave the command to the completion of the report, it took seven minutes and twenty seconds.

A structurally complete, data-rich, and beautifully laid-out PPT was thus born out of thin air.

At the scene, an analyst from a top domestic consulting firm looked at the table of contents and summary of that PPT, muttering unconsciously.

"The quality of this report... is higher than what a five-person elite team from our company could produce in a week of overtime..."

The Microsoft representative, that China expert Luo Wei, could no longer sit still.

He suddenly stood up from his seat, losing control of his emotions. Disregarding the order of the venue, he rushed toward the stage and shouted loudly in his fluent Chinese.

"Chairman Chen! This is unfair!"

"This is a dimensionality reduction strike using information asymmetry! Our Windows system can also integrate AI! We can do it too!"

His voice carried an unmaskable panic and a hollow bluster.

Chen Xu looked at him and smiled—a smile filled with pity and cruelty.

"Is that so?"

He spoke slowly, his voice overpowering the commotion of the entire venue.

"Then why don't you do it?"

"Is it because your technology isn't good enough?"

"Or is it because you are unwilling to give up monopolizing the market and reaping those profits by selling complex operations and expensive software licenses?"

Chen Xu's question pierced straight into the core of Microsoft's business model.

Luo Wei's face turned beet red. He opened his mouth but couldn't say a single word; his body swayed and was supported by the assistant beside him.

Chen Xu turned toward the Chinese live-stream cameras.

He knew that countless programmers and developers were watching in front of their screens.

"I know that many of you sitting here and watching the live stream are developers."

"Next, is a gift prepared for you."

The screen image switched again.

Two ancient and heavy Seal Script characters emerged in the center of the screen.
