Chapter 252: Something Went Wrong?
At present, Xu Yuan has instructed scientists to improve this production line and study drones to replace workers in production, so as to reduce the number of people directly involved in production as much as possible and increase production capacity.
Judging from the existing production equipment, there is no problem with a monthly output of 1 million virtual helmets.
And as Yuanxing continues to manufacture new production lines, it is expected to expand its production capacity to 6 million per month by the end of the year.
After instructing the soldiers to leave first, Xu Yuan walked into a factory and moved the production equipment that had been prepared inside.
Then, according to the drawings introduced, the production equipment was placed in the corresponding position in the factory.
After all this, Xu Yuan patted his dusty hands and looked at the equipment in the three factories with satisfaction.
When these two sets of production lines are put into production, I believe that the whole world will go crazy for the source technology.
And at that time, a steady stream of money will be injected into Xu Yuan's bank card!
In fact, as early as the beginning of the month, Xu Yuan provided the specifications and models of the helmet shell to the small private workshops interested in Qatar in the form of outsourcing, and handed them over to produce at an outsourcing price of $100 per helmet shell.
According to the indicators provided by Xu Yuan, the cost of producing a helmet is about 90 US dollars, and the profit of each helmet is as high as 10 US dollars.
Such a high rate of return even led to a wave of entrepreneurship in Qatar for a time.
Now there are no fishermen on the whole island, and those who seized the opportunity took out loans to buy production equipment and set up small workshops in their own yards.
You only need to produce 1,000 helmets, and the profit is 10,000 dollars, isn't this much more cost-effective than fishing?
After a period of time, they have tasted the sweetness, and people with bright brains will start to think about setting up bigger factories, expanding production, lowering production costs, and making more money......
Then he became a capitalist who was economically dependent on the Yuanying International Group.
All in all, the cost of a helmet is about $500.
Regarding the price of the helmet, Xu Yuan is ready to set it at $1,500, and according to the tariffs of various countries, this retail price will fluctuate by 5%-15% in different regions.
The $1,500 price tag may seem a bit expensive, but if you think about it from another angle, it can give you 8 hours more out of thin air in your day, do you still think it's expensive?
This is a second life!
Moreover, the source technology guarantees that the helmet has a shelf life of more than five years, and the helmet damaged due to normal use will be replaced within 2 years, and the damage can be replaced at half price within 5 years, so the warranty service is undoubtedly very conscientious.
As for those who are confident in disassembling the helmet because of their curiosity about the internal structure of the helmet, then sorry, you can only pay for your own curiosity.
In the sales agreement and product packaging, Source Technology has clearly pointed out that any self-disassembly of the helmet may lead to rapid oxidation and burning of the internal structure, and the helmet damaged by disassembly is not suitable for replacement and half-price replacement service.
On the other hand, the current production of this virtual helmet is not high, and it is destined to be used by some people, while others cannot be used for the time being.
Xu Yuan is very sure that even if the price is $1,500, the helmet will still be priceless for a long time.
At the same time, in the virtual reality online game test hall, players are quietly lying on deck chairs, conducting routine tests.
For the first 20 days, the closed beta was conducted during the day.
However, the staff later found out that because when the helmet was activated, the user's brain was asleep.
Therefore, if the closed beta is conducted during the day, it will cause the player's biological clock to be reversed, which is manifested in the fact that whenever the test is over, it is obviously night, but the closed beta players are as energetic as during the day.
The impact on the user's biological clock is indeed a problem, but it also proves that the virtual reality helmet is an excellent sleep aid, even for insomniacs, through the virtual reality helmet can sleep peacefully.
Although it is only a detail, this has also been carefully recorded in the book by the staff, which will provide a reference for the actual operation of the game.
And now, it's the 30th day of closed beta, and players have gone from the initial shock to the current habit.
At first, many people chose mages, and happily threw fireballs at the house in the novice village, and were killed by the guards who rushed to the scene countless times, and they were still happy at the resurrection point.
It wasn't until the NPCs in the city showed unfriendly feelings towards these players that this mentally retarded behavior subsided.
Actually, they don't blame them, anyone who has the ability to cast magic, the first thought is definitely not to use it to save the world, but to wreak havoc and see how angry the NPCs are.
It is precisely for this reason that most of these mages tend to change careers to fire and necromancers when they change classes.
One is violent enough, one is evil enough.
For this kind of employment tendency of players, game designers who are far away in another world have to rely on these cold data. Reluctantly, he began to reduce the power of the mage.
Without seeing the specific players in the game, the studio couldn't figure out why these people were so keen on choosing mages, and why they were so keen to light NPCs' houses with fireballs.
It has taken a century for the virtual reality on the Yuanxing side to go from beginner to mature, so the players in that world over there are not so surprised by the degree of freedom and fantasy in the virtual reality, but are more accustomed to it.
In short, the internal testers on this side of the earth, for such a large-span virtual reality device, show more of a worship similar to the primitive civilization.
Cutting skill damage will reduce gameplay, but if you don't cut it, no one will play Warrior, and it will also affect the player's gameplay experience.
After some deliberation, Xu Yuan still reluctantly ordered them to start wielding knives to reduce them.
After some adjustments, the playability of the whole game has also been improved a lot.
However, just as Wang Wenjie was operating his character and walking in the woods, suddenly the helmet prompted the icon of signal loss.
"Disconnected?" Wang Wenjie frowned and opened his eyes, this was the first time he had encountered this kind of thing.
After thinking for a while, Wang Wenjie took off his helmet and looked around.
He was shocked to find that the inside test hall was dark at this time.
He could only vaguely see that the nearby players were almost in the same situation as him, waking up from the game with a blank face.
"Don't panic, there's a little bit of a situation out there."
At this time, an internal test personnel walked in, said to the crowd through a loudspeaker, and motioned for everyone to calm down for a while, and the situation could be dealt with immediately.
