On the way out of Xinbai, Lin Shu began to ask the host: If you scan ** creatures with mental power, can you obtain their physiological structure data without harming themselves?

The program's reply was: It depends.

The meaning of this sentence is that it may hurt the ** itself.

Lin Shu pondered for a while, and knew that this path might not work.

Because there is no good and safe way to study the content of neural connection for the time being, Lin Shu can only put this matter aside for the time being and concentrate on the three-dimensional printing project.

After Lin Shu shifted his main attention to the three-dimensional printing project, the three-dimensional printing project of Star Rail began to develop by leaps and bounds.

The main development direction of Star Track's three-dimensional printing technology is strong plasticity and clean and recyclable. In order to achieve this, the research and development of refrigerants and solvents is a major focus. The material of the printed material itself has become secondary, because Star Rail has found a systematic and effective research and development path, and after repeated implementation, it will definitely be able to produce the corresponding target material.

There are many difficulties that need to be overcome to improve three-dimensional printing, such as the material table on the surface, the hardness and toughness of the material inside, the shelf life of the finished product, and the more responsible mechanized assembly procedure in the later stage. Automatic assembly itself is a complex intelligent process, and if you only expect the machine to automatically arrange and complete, there may be a lot of bugs. For this reason, Lin Shu and Tan Yuan discussed and chose the solution to add an assembly design text to the new printing program. The two asked the electronics department to design an additional software module to simulate the assembly program, so that sub-users can design the assembly program by themselves, avoiding errors in the assembly steps and unnecessary losses.

Lin Shu will not be satisfied with the model market.

Generally speaking, the combination of virtual trading platform and three-dimensional printing technology can occupy a very broad field, in addition to various models, there are all kinds of children's toys, one-time loading props, all kinds of prop samples and so on...... The essence of the combination of the two lies in the DIY behavior of users, that is, most of them can design the props they want by themselves, and then obtain the finished product through extremely simple and convenient means.

If Star Rail continues to improve the form and structural quality of the material, their use will become more and more extensive, and the market will become larger and larger. In Lin Shu's view, the ideal state is that it can replace most plastic products and become a new disposable cheap material.

And it's going to take a long time.

In private, Lin Shu only had a private meeting with Tan Yuan and a few others. Although it was only a small meeting, the content of the discussion was very important and strict.

"In the future, the use of stereoscopic printing technology will become more and more extensive, but at the same time, its impact on the market will be greater and greater. This future market is huge, and we can't monopolize it, otherwise it will cause public outrage. Although Xingze is quite influential at present, it is impossible to be an enemy of the whole world after all. ”

What he said was a bit alarmist, and Tan Yuan was a little disapproving, and said, "You are also exaggerating...... How did it get involved in opposing the whole world? ”

Lin Shu shook his head: "This is not alarmist. Think about the social conflicts caused by the innovation of cotton textile technology during the first industrial revolution...... The market for stereoscopic printing technology is broader than that of cotton textile technology. We have discussed the practical direction of stereoscopic printing before, do you think its impact will be greater or less than that of textile technology? ”

Tan Yuan felt that the two could not be compared at all. If I have to say, of course, the impact of stereoscopic printing technology is greater.

She believes that the influence of plastics can be compared to the invention of cloud materials. However, when plastic was invented, it entered the market as a completely new material, and it was not very oppressive to the old market. Moreover, the market at that time was not very mature, the market information was also backward, and the technology was not in the hands of a separate organization, so there was no market conflict.

But the technology of cloud materials is very different.

Tan Yuan couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Ge Mei quickly understood what Lin Shu meant, and asked, "What does Mr. Lin mean?" ”

Lin Shu said: "So I think we only need to grasp some of the core technologies in the future, and some technologies that are not critical can be transferred in a planned way." For example, the manufacturing technology of cloud materials. ”

A group of high-level executives who participated in the meeting: "!! ”

The chief financial officer first objected: "If it is really put into production in the future, the manufacturing technology of cloud materials should be the core technology, right!?" It's low in terms of technology and manufacturing costs, but it's used in large quantities, and even if it's priced lower, it's still going to be in the long run—"

Lin Shu said: "It is a labor-intensive product, and even if it can make money every day, I don't want to keep it in my hands." Spreading too big is not good for us. Star Rail wants to be a technology-based enterprise, and I would rather give up a part of the profits and collect royalties as the main income, rather than spend my energy on preparing for the factory. ”

As soon as he said this, everyone thought about it and felt reasonable. But after all, it's such a big pie, and most people still feel a little pity.

Instead, Ge Mei laughed and said, "Mr. Lin, your idea is actually very correct. But it's easy to say, you have to think about it, if this part of the profit is really given away, the loss will be huge. I don't think most people would give it up. ”

Lin Shu has never seen many benefits, so naturally he will not be stunned by a mere cloud material. "We can't eat this pie," he said very calmly, "and there are other better meals waiting for us to enjoy." If we don't stay here, we'll only lose more scenery. ”

He thought for a moment and continued: "Star Track's current influence is relatively limited, and it is a safer way to use appropriate concessions to pave the way. Moreover, long-term interest exchanges can maintain friendships better than simple bribery and hospitality, and it is not easy to give authority to others. The potential market for cloud materials is huge, and one or two factories will definitely not be able to eat it. And we may come up with more new types of cloud materials in the future, plus condensants, solvents, and other peripheral ...... For example, products such as model figure protection outer box. If we separate these technologies and communicate with different forces, we can use such a chain of interests to form a huge community of interests -- with Star Orbit as the core, of course. ”

Gomei: "!?" ”

Lin Shu's ambition was even greater than she imagined. In this way, the benefits of cloud materials are not only not harmful and lossy, but also the benefits that can be exchanged are far more than imagined, and they are more value-for-money.

Next, Lin Shu discussed the specific operation plan with several people in detail, and even detailed the specific profit of each authorization.

Lin Shu said: "We can also keep the share of the two factories ourselves, and when the stall is not big at the beginning, even if someone sees the business opportunity, they will not rashly try to take a bite." Only when the interest is large enough to be a certain extent, can these material shares have the value of being coveted and traded. ”

“…… By the way, Mr. Tan, what is the current material output? If the stereoscopic printer is turned on around the clock, what is the approximate range of material consumption? ”

Tan Yuan listened, opened the program and calculated for a long time, and answered Lin Shu's approximate estimate.

After listening to this, Lin Shu made some time loss according to Tan Yuan's estimated value, the number of errors that may be caused by the volume error of the product, and finally calculated the amount of materials that may be consumed in a day after the opening of a three-dimensional printer.

Of course, this is only an estimate. The specific real value can only be confirmed after the official installation and opening of the guò printer.

But the rest of the programme has to be planned in advance.

Lin Shu said: "The average comprehensive cost of a kilogram of cloud materials is about 10 to 15 yuan, if the selling price is set at 25 to 30 yuan, we extract about 5 yuan of patent fees, and they can also have about 10 yuan per kilogram of nearly 100% profit." About ten printers are running at full strength, and they can consume three to ten tons of cloud material in a day - we don't count the consumption of condensants and dissolving agents for a moment - then that's about 30,000 to 100,000 yuan in material profits. ”

Calculated in this way, the annual profit is about 1,000 to 30 million,,

Of course, it depends on the usage rate of the machine.

Lin Shu said: "The specific plan depends on the utilization rate of the printer after it is opened. What is certain is that the usage rate in the early days is definitely relatively high, and in the later period, as the number of printers grows, the average usage rate of each machine will definitely decrease. At that time, we will decide the number of authorized enterprises and the number of machines according to the specific utilization rate, and increase the number of cooperative factories and the number of machines according to the quota of five tons per day. In this way, it will not squeeze the profits of the other party too much, so that the other party does not make a profit, and it can also allow the downstream company to maintain a certain competitiveness and will not have a □□ life. ”

He still didn't say part of it.

Star Shadow grasped the shooting of stereoscopic projection advertisements in the early days, and established a high degree of authority and trust. It has a list on hand, which includes actors, MV directors and manufacturers, through this list and the fame accumulated in the early days, Xingying has gained a lot of benefits, not only has its network been greatly expanded, so that the three parties have relied on it, that is, in the film and television industry with a weak foundation, it has slowly gained the right to speak that does not match its qualifications.

At this time when the influence of three-dimensional advertising and three-dimensional movies is gradually growing, it is conceivable how much benefit the prestige and discourse power that Xingying has obtained first. This is very rare for a film and television entertainment company that only has technology but no works at the beginning. Maybe in the next ten years, the influence of Star Shadow will slowly weaken with the changes of the industry, but I believe that at that time it has enough works to support the entire brand.

For the cloud material industry, Lin Shu has a similar idea.

He will master the manufacturing and sales channels of the machine, which is equivalent to mastering the sales channels of cloud materials. In this case, even if the manufacturing technology of the material is transferred, he can still grasp the consumer, which is equivalent to grasping all downstream manufacturers. For the sake of a larger market and more customers, they have to rely on and befriend Star Track.
