Chapter 254: All-round Strategy

After the launch, one of the main concerns was: when will it be released?

This time, the VR group did not disappoint the masses, and they decided to release the deluxe version in June, and the regular version at the end of the year or next year. The difference between luxury and ordinary is the richness of equipment and applications, and it is also backward compatible with second-generation VR application software.

Purchasing the Deluxe Edition will also come with a multi-platform version of the VROS2. 0, it is optimized for PCs, mobile phones, data sharing - in the future, you will also be able to get the company and holographic electronics company jointly launched smart watch, it will have micro holographic projection, physiological monitoring function.

The content of the Deluxe Edition is rich enough, and the biggest difference between it and the regular version is that VROS2 is already included. 0, there is no need to buy it separately, not to mention the example from five years ago, a more preemptive and richer experience, the deluxe version is definitely worth the money.

In addition, it is not only an entertainment and gaming device, it has replaced home computers, but also plays the role of a high-efficiency learning machine, and has a wider user base.

VR companies provoke a single challenge, and their opponents will be: Microsoft, Google, game consoles, some computer manufacturers, the education market, etc.

This courage has already spread all over the world and is talked about!

So when it was pre-sold in April, the $799 price tag for the Deluxe Edition of VR was high but it achieved 10 million copies in 24 hours!

This day brought the company nearly $8 billion in revenue!

This is a very beautiful start, and it can even be said that it is unprecedented, even if the VR glasses were officially released five years ago, there were only 2.4 million copies in 24 hours! Now with the dazzling ability of the third generation. The popularity of VR companies has soared to 10 million.

The company's top management celebrated this brilliant achievement.

And their big boss, Meng Qian. A longer, more comprehensive strategy is already being considered.

After the success of the third generation of VR, the fourth generation must be on the agenda. What are the characteristics of the next generation?

Meng Qian gave it a definition: the brainwave is fully connected, the user will be asleep, and the time in the virtual world will be longer than in reality - which means that human beings will have a longer lifespan in this world;

The all-access brainwave will also adopt a gentle way of knowledge transmission - the primary school to secondary education, which used to take ten years to complete, may only take one year here;

It will also revolutionize human society, so that everyone can devote themselves to the perfect virtual, no longer need to be busy in reality, robots will replace everything;

Human beings can devote their whole body to scientific and technological research and development and improve society. Spend more time evolving yourself and carving out a new home.

The benefits are many, but they are also very difficult.

Even with strong intelligence, Meng Qian predicts that it will take at least ten years before this technology is possible. into reality - and at the same time the other conditions must be met.

At that time, there was a need for stronger computers, faster network speeds, and more food for the future...... He needs to start preparing now.

Fraternities are a powerful enabler of what's possible.

He participated in Madeleine Rosenstein's investment in new chips and computers, and the results were good - she successfully applied graphene technology to the chip field.

"It's a credit to Natalia." Madeleine did not hesitate to praise her.

"She is truly a human being." Tiger smiled and looked at what they had achieved, "Will the main frequency be able to reach 1000GHz?" ”

"It can be controlled at about 800GHz." "But the manufacturing technology is very demanding, and the cost is high, so it is difficult to popularize it to the average consumer." ”

"There's no need to reach out to consumers." Tiger shook his head. Looking at Meng Qian, who was thinking: "Now is the era of the cloud, and we use these technologies on cloud servers. ”

"Then there are no high-cost considerations." Madeleine understood, "A supercomputer made out of it." It will easily exceed the current state-of-the-art supercomputing by hundreds of times. ”

"It means that Natalia will have more computing power." "It will also lead to our research in other fields." Faster. ”

"Yes." Madeleine agreed.

In addition to chip research, they are also working on quantum computing. Cracking the human brain, replicating strong intelligence, machine industry, etc., there is huge investment and research, and the brotherhood is in control.

This is their all-encompassing strategy, covering all aspects of life – the future of human life will inevitably be untouched by their products.

The real world hegemons, they are building little by little.

……

Returning to the present, intelligence has also brought Meng Qian a lot of gains.

The African agricultural problem that he is concerned about has been cultivated with stronger yields and growth capacity through the method of gene combination, which can solve the problem of food and clothing for the African people.

If this technology is handed over to the country of Malagas, as long as it is developed with heart, in the near future, their food will dominate Africa and even be exported to the world.

On the other hand, more advanced cellular food technology is also being tested - in the future, people will greatly reduce farming and breeding, and cells alone will be able to perfectly replicate any taste of food.

He arranged for his subordinates to invest and implement these side businesses.

He himself continues to focus on the VR industry - the system content of the third generation of VR, that is, the virtual world, is still in closed beta.

He came in through the device. Entering the virtual world, in a comprehensive city with Los Angeles, San Francisco and New York as a template, you can see the Bay Area and the Golden Gate Bridge; You can also enjoy the Hollywood Hills and the Walk of Fame; You can also admire countless skyscrapers.

This world, it's VROS2. 0。

It's a work in progress, and the chief engineer in charge of the design is not a human being, but Natalia – she has the creativity of a human, the speed of a machine, and her database stores data from the world's major cities, which can be used anytime, anywhere.

She is a million times more efficient than a designer!

Of course, artistically, she also needs to be brain-wrenching. But she has an electronic brain of 100 billion times per second, which is not a problem for her.

"Welcome in. Enter the virtual world. The voice of the AI rang out - except for Natalia. There are also five units of AI involved in the maintenance work.

"At present, there are 0 people online and 1 million virtual characters." Natalia appeared in front of him. A blonde, tall Russian woman.

Meng Qian glanced at her a few more times, according to the gossip that Mrs. Stone chatted with Gong Hui...... Natalia seemed to have a bit of a super friendship with Tiger back then. So much so that he never forgot it in his heart.

"What are you looking at?" Natalia was stared at unnaturally by him.

"It's fine." Meng Qian smiled, forgetting that this was an AI that was no different from a real person.

"Visit?" Natalia walked ahead.

"Of course." Meng Qian followed her.

"At present, the city template is only this No. 1 city, and the others still need time to improve." "Considering the preferences of users from various countries, I will adopt various characteristics, such as the cities in China, and I will absorb the characteristics of Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou." ”

"But if it's France, it's going to be a big Paris; If it's Switzerland, except for their Alps. The sea that the Swiss dream of is also being realized. ”

"Your world will be liked by countless people." Meng Qian said.

"Of course." She is very confident, "It's just that the amount of computation required is very huge, but fortunately, there has been a breakthrough in graphene technology." ”

"It's enough, right?"

"If every big country lays supercomputing, it should be enough." Natalia said, beckoning to the characters passing by: "Hi, good morning." ”

"Good morning, ma'am." The virtual figure nodded at her.

"How about lending me your car keys?" Natalia asked.

"But I don't know you." The virtual human was a little confused.

"I'm sorry." Natalia smiled and kept walking. The stranger looked at her a few times and muttered, "What's the matter with her?" ”

"I don't know." Meng Qian smiled, the intelligence level of the NPC passers-by was really high enough, which reminded him of a game: GTA.

"Do you know GTA?" Meng Qian asked.

"You mean the backward game?"

"Yes."

"This is the future version." Natalia opened her arms. "If you want, you can test it."

"I need some permissions." Meng Qian used some permissions for himself through brainwaves, such as opening the door without a key, starting the car, etc.

Then he boldly stepped out onto the driveway -- unlike a plane game. Virtual reality completely shows the characteristics of the street, the sound of tires rubbing against the ground, the sound of vehicle engines, the sound of horns. The different expressions and language of the driver after being stopped in the vehicle.

"Authentic enough." Meng Qian came to the car door. Opened.

But this driver was obviously not good at stubble, so he pushed Meng Qian and quickly climbed out: "What's wrong with you?" Bastard! ”

"Do you want to fight?" Meng Qian struck a boxing stance.

"you!" The other party was a big black man, and his fist swept up.

Meng Qian dodged, his skillful fighting skills were unleashed, hooks hit the opponent's ribs, swing fists swept in the face, and the opponent fell to the ground twice, but the surrounding drivers and passers-by came over one after another, some persuaded to fight, some called the police, and some took pictures...... It's complicated.

"Get in the car!" Meng Qian said to Natalia, get in the car.

"It's as complicated as reality, isn't it?" Natalia, who appeared in the passenger seat without the car door, said that she had no doubt that she had used GM permissions.

"Yes, but it's real, and it's going to make people want to come back." Meng Qian drove away, "What's next?" ”

"Scientific Research Center." Natalia brings the map to life on the HUD.

Meng Qian followed the navigation and drove to the research center, looking up, it was an incomparably huge and towering building, and after walking in, all kinds of characters were busy.

Natalia introduced as she walked: "Scientific research in reality can also be carried out here, as long as it follows the laws of reality. ”

"It's more efficient." Meng Qian said that he knows that when the brainwave is accessed, people will be in a state of strong inspiration and creativity.

"Of course." Natalia said, "The results of this research are what you get in reality; If a real user comes in, he will be able to use it. ”

"It also effectively eliminates the obstacle of distance." Meng Qian also thought that it was difficult for the same scientist to communicate in two different countries.

But if they are in the virtual world, they can completely face to face, use the most luxurious laboratory, and complete scientific creation in the most focused state.

"This can be used as part of our all-round strategy." Natalia showed him that the prototype of the future had been born in the virtual world in advance.
