Chapter 114: Virtual glasses go into production

It was the first time Jiao Bai had heard the news, these days he was running between the earth and the end of the world, and he was busy all day long, and the roots had no time to pay attention to other things. Jiao Bai hasn't logged in to the backstage of the starting point for more than half a month, and he really doesn't know the current situation of "Young Jianghuxing".

"Oh, can "Young Jianghu" already compete with an old god like Muggles for the new book monthly ticket list?"

Pineapple is really impressed by Jiao Bai's pampering, and if other authors learn that their works are expected to hit the top of the new book monthly ticket list, I am afraid that they will not be able to sit still for a long time.

"What's more, the average subscription of "Young Jianghu" has now exceeded 150,000, which is much higher than that of "Urban Divine Doctor". As long as you send a few single chapters asking for monthly passes, you will definitely be able to suppress "Urban Divine Doctor". ”

Jiao Bai shook his head and said, "It's okay to send a single chapter, I don't rely on this to eat, there is no need to fight for this list, the opportunity should be given to others." ”

"Also, I almost forgot that Jiao is always the boss of Xingchen Games, and you really can't look down on the bonus on the new book monthly ticket list."

At this time, Ms. He interjected, "Has Mr. Jiao ever thought about making "Young Jianghuxing" into a TV series? ”

This time, Jiao Bai mentioned some interest, "Is there a film and television company that has taken a fancy to "Young Jianghu"? ”

"Mr. Jiao really understands people, and he can understand it at one point, and there are indeed several film and television companies that have sent letters to consult, but their conditions are very harsh, and they all want to spend one or two million to buy out the film and television adaptation rights of "Young Jianghuxing".

"Forget about the buyout, I'm not short of one or two million. Wait for the filming of "Open Heaven" to finish, let's see the results, if the income is good, we Xingchen Games will invest our own money to shoot "Young Jianghu". How about it, Miss He, do you have any ideas for the copyright department to participate in the investment? ”

"Mr. Jiao guessed, and that's what I wanted to say. Our website is making efforts in the comprehensive development of IP, of which film and television investment is the majority. Let's see how the response to the TV series "Open Heaven" comes out, if the results are good, it is inevitable to cooperate again. ”

The meeting was arranged in a small conference room at the Four Seasons Hotel, and Jiao Bai specially called two lawyers from the company's legal department to help review the terms of the contract. In fact, the two parties agreed on a general cooperation framework in the previous telephone communication, and now they are only determining some contract details.

After more than two hours of negotiations, all the details were finalized, Jiao Bai and Jin respectively signed their names on the contract, and the matter of the physical book of "Young Jianghu Xing" was decided.

Editor-in-Chief Jin held Jiao Bai's hand and said with a smile: "Mr. Jiao, I wish you a great sale of your new book in advance." In addition, we arranged a video interview for Mr. Jiao, and we needed to coordinate the time between the two parties. When the physical book is listed, it will be put on the website of our Commercial Press and the starting point as publicity. ”

"No problem, let your people communicate with my secret technique before coming, so I can prepare in advance."

In the evening, Jiao Bai hosted a banquet to entertain the people of the Commercial Press and the starting point, and when he returned to the villa, it was already ten o'clock in the evening. The other zombies all went back to the house to rest, only Lu Anguo was still waiting in the living room. Seeing Jiao Bai come back, Lu Anguo stood up, handed Jiao Bai something similar to protective glasses, and said, "Boss, this is the virtual glasses recently designed by the R&D department. ”

Jiao Bai took the glasses and played with them curiously, "This is like a glasses, much better than the helmet last time, what about the host, is it smaller?" ”

Lu Anguo pointed to a black metal box on the table next to him that had been plugged into the power supply, and said: "We have tried to compress the volume as much as possible, but Intel's I7CPU is too hot, and it will not solve the heat dissipation problem if it is compressed again." ”

The main unit on the table is already much smaller than the last prototype, from the size of a large chassis to the size of a medium chassis, which is barely acceptable.

"What about the cost, how much can this host and glasses be built?"

"More than 6,000, if it is mass-produced, it can be compressed a little more, and it is not a problem to reduce it to less than 6,000. The main reason is that the price of Intel's ninth-generation i7 is too high, accounting for more than half of the cost of the whole machine. Boss, we have graphene chip technology, why don't we produce our own processors, the cost can be reduced by at least half, and the volume of the chassis can be further compressed. ”

Jiao Bai shook his head and denied Lu Anguo's proposal, "It's shocking enough for us to launch virtual glasses, and then come up with graphene chip technology at the same time, it's too eye-catching, it's better to be safe step by step." Didn't I send a few new zombies to the R&D department, these people are all technical experts, let them design a silicon-based general-purpose CPU, and send it to SMIC for tape-out production. When our second-generation virtual glasses are launched, we will replace them with our own CPUs, and the cost should be reduced a lot. ”

Jiao Bai lay on the sofa, put on virtual glasses, and tried the game. Overall, it's an improvement over the last prototype, the realism has increased a bit, you can already smell the flowers in the air, and some textures are much more realistic. Although there is still a big gap compared with the virtual glasses brought back by the end of the world, it is enough for the majority of Earth players who have never been exposed to virtual games.

Exiting the game, Jiao Bai smiled and said: "Very good, much stronger than the last prototype, the first generation of products will be finalized like this, and Xingchen Electronics can be arranged to start production." The first batch will be put on the "Open Sky" game store and the self-operated Shanshan Mall to see how well players accept it. ”
