Chapter 380: New Technological Revolution

The chairman expected well, and soon the Chinese side welcomed Nick. Another visit by Anderson to China. This time he was quite well prepared, not only bringing technicians, but also deliberately bringing Angela. Mason also brought it, obviously to show his unusual relationship with Kasuga, and indirectly show favor to Chinese mainland.

Nick. Anderson's visit to China brought a number of preferential conditions: first, on the basis of some technical authorizations, he could also jointly establish a joint practical room with Chinese official institutions, and the results of the real work could be shared by both sides, which was a verbal promise to help the party-state cultivate talents; The second is that the Pandora format of technology licensing can be authorized by one or two according to the Chinese side's designation, and then the private enterprise Nick. Anderson can likewise license one or two. As for the issue of the new generation of helmets, which is very concerned within the army, the two sides have tacitly avoided talking about it. Anderson's so-called joint practice room is to let the Chinese side digest the helmet technology, and the Chinese side probably does not feel at ease about handing over its armaments to third parties, especially foreign companies, so it goes around like this, but in terms of interests. Anderson is quite determined to fight for himself, and he has the right to benefit from the licensing of technology and the development of technology, of course, considering that even if all PLAs are equipped with Pandora helmets, it will not exceed the number of five million, so this benefit is not small, but not big. China itself wants to expand its production capacity to such a point with the licensing of technology patents, and maintain maintenance and replacement, and the capital invested is not small.

Of course, on the surface Nick. Anderson, as a well-known and well-known new technology capitalist in the United States, should be said to be a world-renowned new technology capitalist, the ostensible reason for his public appearance in China this time is naturally for the Chinese market, and the information disclosed on the surface is naturally that Pandora has obtained some licenses and facilities in China. In practice, the intelligence agencies of various countries are well aware of his true purpose. The U.S. side was very resentful, though, -- they were first of all angry with Nick. Anderson's helmet refused. But they are still a little anxious when China may have access to this technology, but in a certain way, business-is-business, the US government can't watch a behemoth like Pandora not get into the Chinese market, but sometimes they worry that it goes too deep and that the United States lacks ties to him. All the way up to Nick. Privately, Mr. Anderson has said that he will make sure that the U.S. production line will work and that the technology that China will get will be available to the U.S. side, and in fact he has explained to the White House that his licensing of companies like Google and Apple is well ahead of the diffusion of technology from China.

The productivity of this license was very fast, and Google Glass soon conducted a small-scale launch test, with a small supporting host device, Google envisioned that this thing could be developed into a mobile phone in the future, but so far it was a closed small computer host without a display, and users could contact the host through Guò Google Glass Bluetooth. Then, with the support of the host, they can carry out activities such as surfing the Internet, recording videos, taking pictures, etc., and they can also use Google Glass to watch movies in normal format and Pandora format, but it is obvious that the first generation of Google Glass still has some kind of unstable situation, and the effect of watching movies is not as good as that of Pandora helmets. But it's bright and simple enough in appearance, and with the production capacity limit of the Pandora helmet, the $1,500 Google Glass is also a fan who can go shopping with glasses on. Walking while surfing the Internet doesn't affect you, especially the gesture operation feature developed by Google. While it may seem a bit neurotic to draw with your fingers while walking, it seems cool to many people. In contrast, Pandora is so visually focused that the person wearing the helmet often has to stand still to be able to operate.

In order to avoid causing some safety problems, Pandora will try to remind the operator to rest after using the helmet for a period of time, and the battery of the helmet is not enough to support the user to use it off the power source for more than four hours, and Google Glass solves this problem well. His portability is a good selling point. Although the pricing is a bit daunting, there is naturally no shortage of money to buy a Pandora and a Google Glass at the same time. Pandora is used to watch movies, and Google Glass is mainly used to film what you see and hear like a built-in camera.

Then, Apple got involved in the competition. Its technical success is quite similar to Google's, but Apple's glasses are directly connected to Apple's App, they have specially developed an App that controls Apple glasses, integrating a variety of applications such as watching movies, listening to music, surfing the Internet, etc., and it can even be said that this glasses is the extended screen of Apple's mobile phone, of course, in terms of the function of watching Pandora format movies, Apple's glasses can only be said to be comparable to Google Glass, and it can't be on par with Pandora, but even so, Apple fans are still thrilled.

In this way, at a time when there was always a huge gap in the production of Pandora's helmets, Google and Apple produced a large number of substitutes, and with the mining of their productivity, the market for such substitutes became completely hot. In particular, after Google was inspired by Apple, it added the function of binding Google Glass to the mobile phone of the Android system, and people can directly communicate with the Android phone through the Bluetooth of Google Glass, so as to realize a variety of functions such as answering calls and sending text messages on behalf of the user, so that the Android and IOS systems have taken the opportunity to expand their own installed market and mobile phone market, and other systems have suffered a huge blow. In particular, Microsoft, so much so that Microsoft urgently negotiated with Pandora and proposed a series of technology licensing agreements with favorable conditions, hoping to be able to access similar hardware like Pandora's helmet under the Windows system, and in this regard, Microsoft is ambitious to integrate somatosensory technology and Pandora's helmet technology to develop a new generation of Xbox system. Anderson is happy to hear about this,In addition to the development of a special game box,Microsoft also deliberately communicated with desktop hardware manufacturers,I hope that desktops will also add Bluetooth modules or wifi hotspot modules,It is convenient for Microsoft to connect various systems from the hardware。 Several major Internet hardware and technology manufacturers are holding back their efforts and want to use Pandora as a technology hotspot to develop and grow.

So it's also the U.S. government that doesn't thwart Nick. Another of the most direct reasons for Anderson's technology diffusion to China is that he has a lot of confidence in his own companies, and these companies want China to cultivate a technology market. At that time, they will use their excellent products to kill in the Chinese market, at least Apple, Google, and Microsoft are all full of confidence in the prospects of the Chinese market.

The Chinese government has designated the Institute of Microelectronics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences as the main body to cooperate with Pandora, and the main body of the real room of cooperation between the two sides is the Institute of Microelectronics. The institute has been one step ahead in the technology of hardware reverse cracking Pandora, and has initially completed the accumulation of technology, so it can achieve twice the result with half the effort when cooperating with Pandora company, and at the same time, the central government has formulated a number of military enterprises and microelectronics institutes to study the problems of industrial production. In fact, according to Pandora's modular design, the difficulty is not the main components at all, but in the implementation of the overall design and software, in the software is really a huge shortcoming in China, they can not use Pandora's existing achievements at all, must independently design their own software system, on this basis, a larger scale of supporting systems. China's battlefield information system should be established on this basis. It can be said that from the very beginning, the task of the Institute of Microelectronics was too heavy, and even if it had the heart, it did not have the energy to privatize the licensed Pandora technology.

Nick Anderson has already chosen his own private partner, Huawei has become the main candidate, Google in order to expand the Android market, its own system framework is open source, Huawei is about to use this system framework to show its talents. At the same time, his own accumulated capabilities in hardware are also the premise of Pandora's optimism about him, because of the reciprocal conditions of technology licensing signed by Android, IOS and Microsoft. Pandora also announced its own software upgrade in due course, and the Pandora helmet after downloading the software upgrade can realize the reverse connection and reverse control of the three major systems, that is to say, they can use the visual interface of the Pandora helmet to control their three major systems of mobile phones, Iphone, Ipad and computers, and use the built-in microphone and headphones of the guò helmet to make and receive calls, conduct online chats, surf the Internet, watch movies, etc.

Pandora has already announced the next step in the development of the software, which will enable the 3D transformation of visual effects through features such as guò software optimization. Even computer web pages will be optimized in some way to make text and pictures look more comfortable, and web video effects will be able to achieve 3D effects even if they are not as good as Pandora's format, of course. It's just a preaching direction. But it's enough to shock a lot of people.

The movie "Avatar" has made many people understand that watching movies on the computer is completely different from watching movies in the cinema, thus enhancing the movie-watching experience in the cinema and the consumption tendency to watch movies in the cinema. It greatly increases the added value of the movie, making many people feel that watching a movie through the Pandora helmet is like experiencing Doraemon's dream experience machine.

Moreover, more than one person saw the future development direction of Pandora, and the best development direction for this immersive experience is the game category. Anderson himself seems to have made this layout early on, he has shares in several major game companies, and his partner Kasuga Company, although not well-known in the game industry, has a good relationship with Japanese game companies, holds the rights to many adaptations of classic games, and also has a large number of ACG people, especially the famous mushroom, Takeuchi and others, whose company is a subsidiary of Kasuga Holdings. Although the Moon World is a niche, it also has a bunch of brain-dead fans, coupled with complex cooperative relationships with Sony and other companies, once Pandora enters the game industry, it seems that there is no resistance at all, but instead enjoys a lot of resources. The combination of Pandora technology and Xbox that Microsoft is touting is, in a sense, nothing more than a gimmick. Probably Microsoft is also aware of this problem, speeding up the development of the game, announcing that it will come out with a mature product before the end of the year. In a sense, this kind of behavior of bigwigs from all parties throwing money at each other in the hope that they can grab a piece of the pie in this field has also stimulated the development of the world economy, and the US government has begun to announce that the economy is stabilizing and rebounding.

At the same time, the Chinese side has fallen into a certain state of inexplicable anxiety, and even with all kinds of conveniences in hand, the bureaucracy seems to have completely lost its mind to the work centered on economic construction. On the one hand, the technology absorption and transformation of the Chinese Academy of Sciences is progressing slowly, of course, not only the official, even the authorized private companies, Huawei and ZTE also have some kind of overstretched embarrassment, their large-scale expansion and business expansion has been limited by some natural resistance from the outside world and their own internal capital, while the production line in the southwest of Pandora continues to slowly supplement the domestic demand for Pandora helmets. At the same time, Nick. Anderson's Pandora Company, Columbia Pictures and China Film Group have reached an agreement to collaborate on the Pandora format project for Chinese films, because not only the helmet hardware, but also the domestic market is waiting to be fed in terms of film content. Chairman Han is very happy that he has achieved in this regard, and of course, even happier is Nick. Anderson, you must know that so far, there is no way to crack and copy Pandora-format movies on the market, which means that every Pandora-format movie sold in the world is genuine. Anderson can take a cut of this, of course, the benefits that China Film Group can obtain are also huge, as a state-owned enterprise, they also suffer heavy losses due to piracy. After signing the contract, Chairman Han even asked Nick very concernedly. Whether Anderson can guarantee the security of the Pandora format and avoid the outflow of piracy.

"Don't worry," said Nick. "If there's piracy, we'll be able to find out who did it, and there's no one else who can do it but our competitors." "But even our competitors, who are now in the same boat as us, don't want piracy to survive." ”

Chairman Han was a little relieved. (To be continued......)
