The two came to an office in the R&D laboratory for further conversation, Gao Hua looked at Luo Sheng and replied: "The current manufacturing cost has been compressed to the range of 40,000 yuan, and basically we have put all the modules that can be put in the cloud." ”

"What is the manufacturing cost of 40,000 yuan......" Luo Sheng muttered to himself in deep thought.

In terms of cost reduction, the cloud computing of the sister company Bluestar Technology Group provides a complete set of state-of-the-art cloud services for virtual brain computers.

Don't look at the virtual brain computer is very large matrix, but there are no hardware modules such as CPU, memory, and hard disk inside the host, which are the latest generation of semiconductor technology, using 5nm-level process technology, DNA storage technology, etc.

One word is expensive, and the general public simply can't afford it.

Fortunately, Bluestar Technology's cloud computing service is powerful enough to bring all this hardware together in the cloud, so the virtual brain computer is only used as a client interface, and the user connects to the cloud-based super central computer through the host.

In this way, the user's purchase threshold can be lowered, so that more people can afford this product, and the user only needs to access the virtual world through the terminal virtual brain computer to access the personal desktop system, data and various application services.

It's not much different from using a traditional personal computer.

It seems that the cost of this aspect is passed on to the Cote d'Azur company, but the cloud computing solution is a complete set of service solutions, including cloud resources, transmission protocols and cloud terminals, which provide users with on-demand services and elastic allocation of desktop, application, hardware, computing power and other resources.

By concentrating on-demand services and flexible allocation in one pool, the efficiency of resource utilization can be improved through the increase or decrease of demand elasticity at the bottom and peak.

Like traditional personal computers, if the user is sleeping and resting, the equipment will be turned off, and this window period cannot be effectively used, which is regarded as a waste of resources and unnecessary sunk costs.

It can be perfectly utilized through the cloud, and when a user goes offline, the resources allocated to him will return to the resource pool and then be distributed to the next user who sends an access request.

Similarly, the advantages of cloud computing will also be shown, such as upgrading the system and patching vulnerabilities are carried out in the cloud centrally, without personal operation, above the cloud, the virus has no attachment, and personal data is stored in the cloud, there are multiple mechanisms for backup, personal data will not be lost, all applications, data, and various interfaces can be uniformly managed and controlled, so as to ensure that enterprise-level data will not be lost and many other advantages.

Luo Sheng ended thinking and said: "The cost of the terminal 40,000 yuan is not cheap, but it is not expensive, it is at a price that ordinary consumers can afford, almost, and no matter how much it is pressed, it will not be able to squeeze out a few cost prices, the key is whether the dilution of the entire operating cost can meet the company's expectations." ”

Gao Hua smiled and said: "We obviously don't do a hammer deal, I believe that in the eyes of the vast majority of people, such a high-end technology product can have a starting price of hundreds of thousands of sets, it is expected to be placed there, we can confidently receive value-added services, each user spent tens of thousands of yuan to buy a brain computer host, but to access the virtual world, you have to buy cloud computing resources, and launch a variety of charging models such as monthly fees, quarterly fees, and annual fees." ”

"The desktop system also has to be bought, users buy a brain computer host We provide a basic set of free desktop system, which can support most of the functions, but more advanced functions have to be unlocked by paying, first use the free Dafa to bring people in, from time to time you can engage in a high-level application to experience a week of irregular activities for free, layer by layer to defeat the user's wallet defense line......"

If you are not afraid of the user coming, you are afraid that you will not come, and if you come, as long as you get on the bus, there are N ways to pry open the user's wallet.

This is actually the ability of the Cote d'Azur and Bluestar Technology, and the construction of ecosystems in the fields of social networks and smartphones has long accumulated rich experience and routines, which can be replicated in the ecosystem of the virtual world.

It's just that it's changed to a higher place, but the taste is still the original taste, the formula is still the original formula, and even the users are basically the original users.

In the end, Luo Sheng made a decision: "You discuss a set of final pricing plans internally and report them to me, and the summer conference will be officially launched to the public." ”

Gao Hua's spirits were greatly lifted, and he immediately nodded again and again: "No problem!" ”

Luo Sheng stayed in the virtual brain-computer project department building for a few minutes, then returned to his CEO's office, came to the desk, turned on the work computer, and called up the upstream and downstream supply chain of the virtual brain-computer.

The first generation of virtual brain computer has been finalized, and the next thing is the problem of mass production, the production capacity of Xiongxin Electronics is now keeping up, and the suppliers in other links have already received the advance payment of Party A's father on the Cote d'Azur, and it is no problem to keep up with the rhythm.

Follow the Cote dad, eat and drink spicy, Dad's business is always the first priority, delay Dad's order is excluded from the supply chain system, this is big meat, other customer orders are relatively just mosquito legs.

After a general understanding of the supply chain link to confirm that there is no problem, Luo Sheng opened the deployment of the Nebula Star-Cloud of Bluestar Technology, and the Bluestar Technology Group has completed the upgrade of the third-generation Nebula system in China, of which the data center has been upgraded to DNA storage technology.

In the past year, about half of its data centers have been closed, and the remaining half has replaced DNA storage data centers, but the storage capacity has directly increased by 1 billion times, which is equivalent to an increase of ten orders of magnitude of storage capacity at the base of the original base, which is an epoch-making storage technology focusing on the future.

The latest generation of data centers use DNA storage technology, which means that data can be stored for more than 5,000 years, and unlike traditional storage media such as hard disks and tapes, DNA storage does not need to be maintained frequently, and the storage capacity has been expanded by ten orders of magnitude, but the overall operating costs have not only not increased, but the overall operating costs have been reduced by about 28% due to the closure of a large number of previous generation data centers, reducing expenses by nearly one-third.

Many foreign media and the industry can't understand Luo Sheng's decision, because no matter how you look at it, the data generated by all human beings completely occupies less than 1% of the storage ratio, which is a complete waste of resources.

They don't know that the birth of virtual brains and virtual worlds will skyrocket the amount of data generated every day, and the demand for storage will also multiply geometrically.

This crazy expansion behavior is obviously to welcome the arrival of the virtual world, but also to welcome the arrival of the fourth scientific and technological revolution of mankind, and at that time, the demand for data storage will only soar further.
