Building a Gaming Empire From Scratch

Chapter 1293: Chapter 1165: The Approaching [Mirage 3.0] and the Princess Who Visits at Midnight Chapter 1293: Chapter 1165: The Approaching [Mirage 3.0] and the Princess Who Visits at Midnight Before venturing out to the international markets, Lincoln had already contemplated the idea of scaling up Mirage’s production.

By that time, he had already reached a stage where money was not an issue, so preparation had already started early on.

Despite the varied demands for office tools in different industries, which would require a huge amount of effort and investment to fully support, by the time Lincoln arrived, the hard-working employees of the Technical Department, who had been toiling away in silence, still delivered a satisfactory report card.

All mainstream office software on computers had been made compatible.

Only those niche, special demand ones, as well as issues outside the realm of technology, had yet to be made compatible.

But for Lincoln at this moment, it was already enough.

After all, what he needed was to capture the mainstream and the masses.

Once the mainstream and the masses were secured, virtual office would form a new trend and momentum.

At that point, not only would Mirage’s sales and user online duration rapidly increase, but those niche demands would also naturally gravitate towards virtual office.

Many problems would be solved then.

Lincoln highly praised everyone’s work and immediately distributed a bunch of hefty red packets on the spot.

He then announced that bonus payments would be issued on the next payday, and left amongst the cheers of the crowd.

Next on his agenda was to drop by the Operation Department and delegate the promotion tasks to Samuel.

This new virtual office concept was different from games; it was going to greatly shake up the traditional work model, and the initial resistance would likely be significant, so the promotion effort had to keep up.

Used to the Boss’s decisive and swift approach, Samuel immediately asked, “Shall we start immediately tomorrow?”

But this time, Lincoln shook his head: “No rush, just be ready.

You guys will have a lot of work to do later on; we’ll arrange everything together.”

After a moment of thought, Samuel immediately realised the key point: “Are you talking about the Demo tasting event for [Cradle Plan]?”

“Perhaps [Mirage 3.0] as well,” Lincoln added.

Samuel was initially surprised, but quickly nodded excitedly, “Understood.”

Inside Cloud Dream, Mirage had already been integrated with [Eight Sides Headband] and [Focus Headband].

Without even mentioning the focus headband, just the combination of [Mirage] and [Eight Sides Headband] was enough to be promoted as a new generation console to the market.

It was less than one year since the 2.0 upgrade, so Cloud Dream was in no rush.

By now, many upstream hardware products had gone through a round of upgrades, and there was no issue for Mirage to launch a new generation.

Even the marketing department had long been suggesting to Lincoln to introduce some [limited edition] consoles.

Upgrading materials, storage, power supply components—or even just changing to a game-linked paint job—would suffice to sell under the name of [XXX limited edition].

This wasn’t the marketing department trying to exploit customers; rather, there really were many users expressing such demands.

The ever-rising market price of the [Pacific Rim Limited Edition Game Warehouse], which had become priceless, was clear proof.

However, Lincoln had remained unmoved.

At most, he would produce a limited edition of game warehouses, and customers would have to try their luck to purchase them.

Now, hearing about the upcoming release of [Mirage 3.0], Samuel almost immediately became excited, eagerly asking Lincoln for information.

But Lincoln couldn’t give it to her yet, because the most critical part—the microchip—he still wasn’t certain about.

After leaving Samuel, Lincoln immediately called Henry to inquire about the progress of the carbon-based chip development.

During Henry’s last lab tour, he showed Lincoln a 130nm microchip, indicating that a 79nm microchip could be produced within a week.

Lincoln hadn’t paid much attention to this matter for a while until Henry brought it up again yesterday.

Even though yesterday’s incident had interrupted them once, when Henry brought it up again on the phone, he was still quite excited: “The graphene chip has successfully broken through to the 28nm process!”

This was an important milestone.

In the domain of silicon-based chips, 28nm is the boundary between low-end and high-end processes.

Breaking through this technology meant officially entering the high-end process realm.

Although there are processes available below 13nm that require continuous research and upgrades, thanks to graphene’s superior material properties and entirely new design, the 28nm graphene microchip had already surpassed the performance of the most advanced silicon-based microchips on the current market!

The technical data provided by Lincoln, the official’s cost-no-object investment, the researchers’ day and night efforts, the astonishing efficiency increase of the [Focus Headband]…

It was only with all these elements working together that this epoch-making breakthrough in the chip field was finally achieved!

Although it could not yet be compared to terrifying technologies like [Digital Life], it was still a world-changing significant breakthrough!

Understandably, when Lincoln nonchalantly pushed this matter to the back of his mind yesterday and suddenly changed plans to go home, Henry was quite astonished.

“How is the yield rate?

When can we start mass production?” Lincoln asked the questions that concerned him most.

If the yield rate was too low, it would still be possible to go to market, but it would either cause a reduction in the profit of chip-manufacturing factories or lead to an increase in the price of products using this type of chip.

Henry gave him good news: “With this process, there’s no need to worry about the yield rate.

As for the production line…

the matching factory has been ready for a while, and we can start production in as little as half a month.”

“OK, I’ll visit this afternoon to take a look.

If there are no issues, let’s start production quickly.

Just pull the capacity as high as possible; Cloud Dream will take as much as you make!” Lincoln declared.

“Should I come to pick you up?”
