114: Chapter 114 Global Suppression? Sorry, it should be me suppressing all of you.

In the study on the second floor, the sound of keyboard typing was slightly dull.

Returning to the room, the smile on Lu Li's face faded, replaced by focus and rigor.

"The interaction logic has a serious sense of fragmentation."

Lu Li wrote down the first line; he was summarizing the problems.

In the battle in the virtual world of minecraft just now, this sense of dissonance was too strong.

In reality, he could perform squats, rolls, and even more complex tactical evasion maneuvers.

But in the game, due to the limitations of the underlying code of minecraft, his character model did not fully synchronize these subtle movements.

This led to a very awkward phenomenon:

Even though he had crouched down, in the monster's perspective, he was still standing straight.

"And the attack speed determination."

Lu Li frowned slightly.

His sword-swinging speed was extremely fast; he could thrust three times in one second.

But the game had "invincibility frames" and "attack cooldown" mechanisms.

This resulted in him hitting three times, but the system only registered one instance of damage.

This "bottleneck" caused by the game engine lagging behind the Virtual Helmet hardware was the biggest fatal flaw at the moment.

Also, the weight of the swords and bows was problematic.

In reality, swinging a heavy sword requires not only strength but also overcoming inertia.

But in the test just now, the feedback for the iron sword and wooden sword he generated later felt almost the same.

"It seems I have to rewrite the engine for the Virtual Helmet; I must introduce a mass simulation algorithm."

"Also, the perception of one's own weight is very strange; he and Wang Peng felt very light, while Su Qingxue and the others felt it was somewhat heavy."

Lu Li highlighted and bolded these two lines.

This was likely because Doubao AI had only provided an initial weight vector during code optimization.

To truly unleash the terrifying performance of the Virtual Helmet, he had to reshape the game engine and create a virtual world that adhered to real physical laws.

Just as Lu Li was immersed in conceptualizing the code...

...

Downstairs, in the living room.

The lingering warmth of the laughter from just moments ago remained in the air.

Qin Ya, along with Lu Yaoguang and Wang Peng—the three little ones—were still wearing their Virtual Helmets, having started a new game.

Su Qingxue was curled up on the sofa, holding a white porcelain teacup with both hands, her fingertips touching the slightly hot cup.

She was still savoring the thrill of that arrow exploding a zombie's head just moments ago.

That tacit understanding of fighting side-by-side with Lu Li intoxicated her more than any sweet nothings.

Buzz—!

The phone on the coffee table vibrated violently.

The name "Secretary Wang Qiuge" flashed on the screen.

Su Qingxue was slightly stunned.

Today was the fourth day of the Lunar New Year; if it wasn't a matter of sky-falling importance, Secretary Wang Qiuge, as her secretary, would never disturb her at this time.

She put down the teacup.

The porcelain base clicked against the coffee table, making a sharp sound.

Su Qingxue answered the phone before she could even speak.

"President Su! Something happened! Something big happened!"

On the other end of the line, the usually composed Secretary Wang Qiuge had a sharp voice, carrying an uncontrollable sob and terror.

"Just half an hour ago, the White House press conference ended."

"The 'Special Sanctions Order' against Guanghui Technology has officially taken effect!"

Su Qingxue's fingers tightened abruptly, her knuckles turning white from the force.

"Get to the point."

Su Qingxue's voice maintained a facade of calm, but her heart had already started pounding violently.

"Entity List! The highest level of the Entity List!"

Secretary Wang Qiuge reported incoherently: "Not only that, but they have also united all their allies in Europe, Japan, and South Korea."

"Google has announced that they will stop GMS service authorization for our devices in the next version."

"And Sony's camera lenses, Samsung's screens, Hynix's memory, Qualcomm's mobile chip support... it's all cut off! Everything is cut off!"

"President Su, this is an encirclement! They want to make Guanghui Technology disappear from the world!!"

Secretary Wang Qiuge was still saying something on the phone.

But Su Qingxue could no longer hear clearly.

There was a buzzing roar in her ears, as if she were separated by a thick layer of water film.

Her vision became somewhat blurry.

She seemed to see a huge, airtight iron net descending from the sky, tightly enveloping Guanghui Technology, and enveloping her as well.

This day had finally come.

And it came so quickly, so ruthlessly, and with such finality.

This was meant to drive Guanghui Technology to its death!

It wouldn't matter if there were no mobile chips, as Guanghui Technology could now self-research and produce higher-specification 5nm chips.

But without lenses, the production lines for mobile phones and Robots would have to shut down.

Without GMS authorization, it meant that Guanghui Mobile would have no buyers abroad, as it would be impossible to pre-install the Google Play Store, YouTube, or Google frameworks.

This was not just commercial competition.

This was a dimensionality reduction strike at the national level, the most naked strangulation of hegemony.

"President Su? President Su, are you listening?"

The calling voice on the other end of the line became distant.

Su Qingxue felt a strong sense of suffocation.

She thought of the thousands of engineers in the company who were still working overtime.

She thought about the explosive financial report she had seen a few days ago.

Guanghui Technology, with its absolute shipment volume, had secured a top-three ranking domestically.

Anger, helplessness, and various emotions flooded her like a tide.

She was a strong person, having weathered countless storms since taking over the company.

But this time.

Facing the full might of the strongest hegemon on the Blue Planet.

She felt deep despair.

In the face of absolute hegemony, Guanghui Technology was just like an ant trying to trip an elephant.

Ridiculous, and sorrowful.

The heating in the living room seemed to have failed.

Su Qingxue was shivering from the cold.

She subconsciously raised her head, her gaze passing through the luxurious crystal chandelier, looking at the tightly closed door on the second floor.

Behind that door was the man who was always lazy, yet always capable of creating miracles in desperate situations.

"Lu Li..."

She silently called out this name in her heart.

As if this was the only lifebuoy she could grasp on the sinking Titanic.
