598 Games & Reality
The car Wang Yufei is riding in is already a second-generation self-driving car, adding an intelligent early warning system and an emergency avoidance system on the basis of the first generation.
At present, there are only 20 vehicles in the world, of which Huaxia currently has 12 vehicles.
There are really only 12 of them, because these technological upgrades cannot be imitated, and the second-generation self-driving cars are equipped with a new small quantum control system, all of which are currently from the Yuxin Technology Lab.
The value of this is that the safety of the car has been improved like never before thanks to the emergency evacuation system. No matter how complex the road conditions are, if there is a danger, the system can not only predict in advance and minimize the possibility of danger, but also activate the safety measures in the car in advance 0.5 seconds before the accident occurs at the critical moment, instead of starting it when the accident occurs.
Theoretically, a small car with an emergency avoidance system is basically impossible for the occupants of the car to suffer physical injuries due to car accidents.
Just as there is never a 100% success in this world, there is no 100% death in this world.
No matter what kind of accident, there is actually a glimmer of life, it just depends on whether human beings can grasp it rationally.
Unfortunately, no one's brain can be 100% rational.
For most people, the more critical the moment, the easier it is for the brain to shut down.
Machines are different, they can always be calm to deal with every crisis, with powerful computing power, can open the avoidance process in the millimeter, and have intelligence, but also can flexibly deal with various accidents before the danger arrives, so as to minimize losses.
Based on this, it is necessary to recognize the advanced nature of machines replacing labor.
Of course, at this time, Wang Yufei did not pay attention to feeling the advanced nature of this driverless car.
He was communicating with Ash through the car screen about the situation after the launch of "Eighth Continent".
At this time, it was already nine o'clock in the capital time, exactly one hour before the launch of "Eighth Continent", and according to the setting in the game, it had passed the peak period of making money and giving money after the opening plot.
Yes, Lu Yezhou's experience with his roommates in the game is not unique.
This game was designed to be played like this.
While the rich are lavish on kryptonite, they are also thinking about how to use games to redistribute social wealth, so that a group of responsible but passively unemployed people can live well even if they play games.
This sounds a bit bizarre, but it is one of the inevitable directions for future development.
The popularity of artificial intelligence will highlight the importance of groundbreaking work, which has always been scarce, and can only be qualified if the IQ and self-discipline have reached a certain level.
Whether it is the creation of science and engineering, or the arts, there are very few masters who can reach the pinnacle and leave a name in history, compared with the huge population base of mankind.
Even the elites who can assist them in their work are not many.
Most ordinary people rely on a few ordinary repetitive tasks to obtain survival resources.
Of course, there is nothing wrong with this in the thousands of years of human history, and without the efforts of these ordinary people, human civilization would not have developed to the current level.
But the relationship between productivity and production and labor is constantly changing.
For thousands of years, the elite class has always instilled in the ordinary people the idea that labor is the most glorious and that labor is exchanged for living resources, because only ordinary people with a large base are willing to carry out productive labor activities can generate value, and only with these values can the civilization progress of the whole society be promoted.
But in the next new era, in the face of repetitive work, the productivity of human labor is far less than the productivity of machines, continue to let ordinary people work, the value that can be generated per unit of time will be far less than the value generated by machines, at this time in advocating the glory of labor may be the advancement of human civilization, which is about to become one of the most fierce new contradictions in the entire human society.
After all, in the current legal provisions, labor is not only an obligation, but also a right.
Games are the most cost-effective means of social wealth redistribution calculated by Wang Yufei, and it is the main attempt to solve this new contradiction by allowing former labor-intensive industry practitioners to move from the production line to games.
With the help of Xiaozhi, the fully automated production line has met the conditions for popularization, so the factory brothers and sisters who have come down from the production line can work through the game to replace the labor of the production line.
In the future, automatic transportation will be popular, and those courier boys will be able to sit in front of the computer and earn a salary that is not inferior to that of food delivery through games.
It is a large number of programmers who have now lost their jobs and can also make more money in the game through their familiarity with computer programs to meet the needs of life.
This is the goal that Wang Yufei needs to achieve, only the first step to go out, in order to calmly lay out the next step of the earth's industrial upgrading. Let machines truly replace manual labor and become the main productive forces in all walks of life in the world.
If this is not acceptable, you can still empathize.
Treating play as a service industry is probably more acceptable to this view.
This is also the essence of "The Eighth Continent".
In order to allow players who are willing to spend money to get the best spiritual enjoyment in the game, Penguin Group has recruited a technical team of nearly 1,000 people, including various psychologists, sociologists, etc., to conduct extremely sophisticated psychological addiction analysis for the psychology of people at different levels, different ages, different regions and different countries.
Especially for those who have the strength and time to spend in the game, they are taken care of.
Through big data, it is the most important thing to predict the various consumption behaviors and ideas of these people, and to give the richest or richer people the most perfect psychological experience in the game.
In short, in the game, it is essential that the rich get the psychological comfort they need most so that they are willing to spend in the game.
Most of the money spent by the rich goes to the funds to keep the game running, a small part is left to the shareholders as profits, and the vast majority is subsidized to the poor people who participate in the game through various tasks and resource consumption in the game.
In other words, more than 80% of the players are running in the game, but in this area, the addiction team has also used various methods to analyze the characteristics of the crowd and find ways to immerse everyone in the experience brought by the game through monetary incentives.
Therefore, the success or failure of this game is not simply whether the statistics can be profitable, the most critical indicator is whether the consumption index of the rich meets the standard, and whether the number of people who continue to be online meets the standard.
The former is related to the wealth redistribution ability of the game, or whether the game can earn enough money to support the subsidy for low-value-added workers after losing their jobs, while the latter determines whether its influence can radiate to a wide enough group.
Of these, the former is more important than the latter.
You must know that only in the Huaxia region, the game will give out about 80 billion worth of Huaxia coins at the beginning, and then almost every day will give away no less than this amount of game currency, if this batch of game currency is consumed in various channels in the game, Yu Xiaogoose will have to spend this money with real money in the settlement period after a month.
But this is also extremely necessary.
If we do not throw money out in a large amount, it will not be enough to mobilize the enthusiasm of the largest social group to participate in the shortest possible time, so as to solve the most essential problem in the shortest possible time, the problem of revolution in the productive forces and relations of production.
The approach was radical, but Wang Yufei felt it was necessary.
What's more, the current back-end data interface is very successful.
One hour after the launch of "Eighth Continent", there are currently 1.86 billion people online in the world, including 380 million people in Huaxia Online, in other words, nearly one-fifth of the world's people log in to the game for the first time.
At this time, the total number of recharges reached 560 million, and the total recharge was 968.237 billion Huaxia coins, and all the foreign currencies used for foreign recharges were converted into Huaxia coins by the quantum computer according to the real-time exchange rate.
At this time, it is only one step away from breaking the trillion sales.
A total of 136.7 billion Huaxia coins were sent out in the world, of which Huaxia sent 83.1 billion Huaxia coins, and this expenditure ratio seems to be very uneven because Huaxia District has formulated the highest cashback ratio.
Of course, more importantly, the three companies in Huaxia Publicity and Distribution occupy an online advantage, although the publicity is very fierce, but the cost is not high, saving a lot.
What's more interesting is that the three accounts with the most money are from three different countries, and they are not in China.
Among them, the No. 1 local tyrant is from a small European country, and this account has been recharged 3 times in succession within an hour, totaling 32 million euros, which is roughly equal to 157 million Huaxia coins according to the real-time exchange rate.
"The No. 1 server tycoon is a real aristocrat, and a hidden rich man who has never appeared on the Forbes list, with assets between 6.8 and 10.2 billion euros, according to big data calculations. And they are all high-quality assets that are very easy to realize. I can't reveal the true information of this customer in view of the law of quantum service secret protection, but he is really rich, and his friends probably don't know that he is so rich. ”
Wang Yufei queried the background data of "Eighth Continent" through the on-board quantum computer, and Xiaozhi was chattering in his ear.
"Oh, then why would he top up so much at once?" Wang Yufei asked.
"You don't know this, he is a crazy lover of vampires, and even believes that there really are vampire nobles in this world. For this reason, he also owns an ancient castle on the boundary of his house, and the basement of the ancient castle still houses the coffin of that special style all year round. Just waiting for the day when he can attract real vampires to give him his first hug. In the game, we were able to fulfill his wishes by creating a tailor-made series of quests for him to obtain the bloodline of Cain, the ancestor of the vampires. Of course, with Cain's bloodline, he will be able to have a certain degree of life and death in the game. ”
"Actually, he also has a choice, and he can initially get the bloodline of other well-known vampires for only a few tens of thousands of euros, but this gentleman obviously wants the best, and of course we have to meet his needs. And according to the system's calculations, since he can spend a lot of money in the initial selection, the cost of subsequent tasks is dynamically adjusted. Of course, the game is not so dark, and he only needs to use two-thirds of the money at most to complete the entire task. ”
"However, in order to continue to advance quickly, the fusion bloodline will definitely need to quickly obtain various upgrade resources, and the design of the game is based on your requirements, and any method that can quickly obtain upgrade resources will require a lot of money. In addition to the new insights I gave from the Penguin Group, and the story line before the written record was made, even if he got Cain's bloodline, it was not the end, and in the future he would find that there were more cherished bloodlines in more ancient times, and even Cain could only tremble when facing those bloodlines. But that's an advanced story. ”
Wang Yufei silently flipped through the documents, and those words of invitation kept coming from his ears, which did not affect his reading.
It's just that I still sigh in my heart, after two years of self-evolution, Xiaozhi, who has more powerful computing power, is actually developing in the direction of chatterbox.
Basically, as long as you give it permission to nag in your ear, this guy can't stop at all.
"And Dad, do you know? This old fellow is not even interested in women at all, God knows how many beautiful women want to marry him, he doesn't fake his colors, he really devotes himself to his life in search of proof of the existence of vampires. Human hobbies are really weird. ”
"Okay!" Wang Yufei gave Xiao Zhi a pause signal in his mind, and his eyes also swept over the second place of recharge.
A wealthy man from his neighbor Ah San recharged a sum of 20 million US dollars within an hour, which is equivalent to about 100 million yuan.
"This player is also a mission designed for the faith?"
"No, he probably just wants to get stronger. If he wants to have the same strong ability as his dad in this game, his goal is probably to become the strongest person in the entire region, and of course, because 20 million dollars is not an astronomical amount for him, but it is not a lot. To be honest, I'm not very optimistic about his follow-up consumption potential, which can't be compared with the first one. This money already accounts for two-thirds of the liquidity he can mobilize, and it is estimated that he will not have much spending potential for a long time. ”
"On the contrary, you should pay attention to the fifth-ranked consumer who is also an invisible billionaire, and if we can break through his psychological defenses, he will have the highest spending potential in the game. ”
"Oh?"
Wang Yufei's eyes swept over the third and fourth places, and fell directly to the fifth position.
The current consumption is $16 million, which comes from traditionally wealthy oil-producing regions.
But to Wang Yufei's surprise, the background showed that the account was offline.
"This is an extremely disciplined gold owner! As much as he wants to keep playing, he probably has too many things to deal with in reality. For example, there are many technical difficulties that need to be solved to meet regularly and integrate people's office needs into the game. But I'm sure he'll land again today. ”
"Oh?"
"Judging by big data!"
