Chapter Ninety-Three: Breakthrough
Duke looked at Shu Ya, whose cheeks were a little flushed with excitement, her long and straight eyelashes fluttering slightly, and her red lips were delicate in the sun, as if they were a little more intense than the roses blooming on the side.
Duke's heart trembled slightly, the flowers bloomed and the flowers could be folded, and he didn't wait for the flowers to be broken and the branches were empty, and such a sentence suddenly popped up in his mind.
Then hooligan once.
What about the pervert once?
Duke suddenly gave birth to a scoundrel, hugged the jade man beside him, and kissed him heavily on the delicate soft lips that were as delicate as flowers.
Lips and tongues intersected, and the unprepared Shu Ya's body trembled slightly, not because of nervousness, nor excitement or disgust.
Instead, he felt Duke's enthusiasm, and Shu Ya's heart seemed to be gently touched.
So, at first, he unconsciously resisted Duke's surprise attack, then gradually responded jerkyly, and then gradually began to melt, and his hands unconsciously wrapped around Duke's waist, closed his eyes, and let Duke taste deeply.
Unintentionally, Duke's emotional intelligence has taken a big leap, and this passionate kiss is stronger than any words, and on the banks of the warm Charles River, it gradually melts Shuya's heart.
After a long time, a voice came out with a little wheezing, a little shyness and a little sweetness, "Duke, you hate it to death!" ”
A storm disappeared invisibly, reminiscing about the fragrance that still lingered on his lips and teeth, Duke's heart was happy, and he couldn't help laughing, it turns out that men are not bad, women are not loved.
In an instant, Duke felt that a thick wall had collapsed on the road of love, and he had finally taken the most crucial step, as if he had broken out of a cocoon.
(Yan Fei pressed, this bubble girl big killer is not an experienced little pot friend to imitate, it is very difficult to say that it is very easy to tragedy if the heat is not used)
It was easy to contact MIT's brainwave interface research team, but to Duke's disappointment, their research direction was very different from what he needed.
According to the classification of the frequency of different vibrations by the International Brain Wave Society, brain waves are divided into four types: δ (delta) waves, theta (hita) waves, α (alpha) waves, and β (beta) waves in order from slow to fast.
Each type of brain wave has a different purpose, and Duke is now studying mainly alpha waves and beta waves, which are under the condition of waking mind.
The MIT brainwave research team focuses on Hitabo, and their main purpose is to study the use of brainwaves in medicine, and to study the use of brainwave suggestion to solve some very difficult brain medical problems under certain brain dysfunctions.
Because when the human body is in a more relaxed state, such as sleeping, the Hita wave is relatively strong, in this state, the person's active consciousness is interrupted, the body enters a deep relaxation, the door of the person's mind is opened, and the information from the outside world is highly suggestive.
At this time, it is very beneficial to actively stimulate the deep memory of the brain and solve some brain disorders such as amnesia, and the MIT brainwave research team mainly focuses on active brainwave intervention, but there is not much research on the reception of thinking.
Frustratingly, Harvard University also focuses on the study of brainwave medicine and learning, and after the attempt to obtain related technology from these two schools failed, Duke learned that Stanford University has studied brainwave thinking reading in depth based on the information obtained from the paper, and the founder of Mindsky is from Stanford University.
However, after contacting the head of the other party's research team, after listening to Duke's introduction, the proposal for joint research was politely rejected by the other party. Just kidding, if a start-up is thinking about this top field of research, do you have the financial strength and technical capabilities?
That's the limitation of phone and email exchanges, but unfortunately Duke's emotional intelligence hasn't recognized this yet.
If you can meet the other party face-to-face and take Duke's latest achievements in pattern recognition in the brainwave interface, then Duke will be a completely different scene in the other person's mind, and the effect will be completely different.
This road did not work, and Duke put down his mind and began to study the problem of e-commerce websites.
It is the easiest way to use a sales platform like eachnet that can directly open a store, and the sales system and payment do not need to be considered, and it is completely ready to use, but if you carefully study the related expenses, the sum of all items should account for at least 10% of the sales.
According to the sales of 100,000 units, the two products priced at $119.9 and $249.9 each account for 50% of the sales, and the sales expenses collected by eachnet alone will be as high as more than $1.8 million.
Such a huge amount of expenses obviously cannot meet the original intention of low-cost direct sales.
Therefore, Duke categorically abandoned this option and used a self-built e-commerce site, and at the current server rental price, the annual rent of an ordinary server is only a few hundred dollars.
Even if you have to consider the high reliability of the service, renting a reliable cloud network service provided by Amazon is only one or two thousand dollars a year, which is not for game operation or downloading, and does not require too much traffic load.
Although it is inevitable to find some people to maintain and manage the website, but how to say that it will not exceed tens of thousands of dollars a year, like this kind of online work, directly recruit in China, there is no need to use the United States, this labor cost can save a lot not to mention, but also to create a few jobs in China.
The open source e-commerce website system on the network abounds, and soon Duke chose the most popular one, basically without how to transform it can be used, not only a variety of popular payment methods such as PayPal, 2CheckOut, iPayment have been built into the system, only need to embed the accounts of various payment companies they apply for.
What surprised Duke even more was that even the interface of the express company was ready, which could connect to UPS, USPS, FedEx and other American express giants in real time.
It's so cute, it's really a living Yang Lei Feng, Duke loves open source to death, and began to do custom work on the system, which is nothing more than to do some information modification work, and adapt the open source system into a new company's e-commerce website, compared to voice recognition and robot path-finding algorithms, this part of the customization work is so simple that it doesn't require Kerry's intervention, and Duke himself can easily complete it.
Of course, considering Kerry's strong analysis and optimization capabilities, after the system customization and modification was completed, Duke still handed over the entire system to Kerry for simulation test optimization, and after optimization, a system that originally supported 100,000 concurrent users was increased to more than 500,000.
Such a huge capacity design is enough to support the crazy purchase of a large number of enthusiasts, of course, if there is such a large number of users, Duke will definitely wake up laughing when he falls asleep.
In any case, a complete e-commerce website that supports online sales is complete, ready to be uploaded and launched.
The good news is that the e-commerce system is ready, and the bad news is that the goal of brainwave interface technology has failed, but the good news from Suzanne over the weekend is that through a venture capitalist researcher specializing in brainwave products, Suzanne learned that there are currently two other companies in the United States that can produce brainwave helmets: GmotiveSystems and NexorSky.
GmoSystems has already targeted the use of brainwave helmets in the direction of the game, but their technical level is still not enough to support their idea, and judging by the release of the companion game, it is a fairly simple 2D single-player RPG, which is undoubtedly good news for Duke.
In addition, although the sensitivity of the helmet developed by GmoSystems is high, the price is too high, it is said that the cost is almost 200 US dollars, and the appeal of the game is not strong, so the brainwave helmet priced at up to 299 US dollars has very little sales in the market, and the cumulative sales volume has not been in five figures so far, and the company's current situation is basically in the pioneering period.
Relatively speaking, the cost of brainwave helmets produced by NexorSky is very low, even less than $20 each, of course, the sensitivity of its products is worse than that of GmoSystems, and the products currently developed are only used in a relatively rough brainwave remote control toy, the price of the brainwave remote control toy is $59, and its market sales have not exceeded five figures, and the company is obviously still in the research and development period from its rough technology.
The competent Suzanne even got a few product samples from both companies. NexorSky's products don't even have a computer driver, and after Duke's simple test of several control commands according to the manual, the response speed is very slow, and the recognition rate of these simple commands is less than 50%.
With such a low recognition rate, there is obviously a big problem with the practicality of the Duke application, and there is also a lack of computer drivers, so it cannot be directly applied to Duke's games for the time being.
GmoSystems' helmets have a very good water criterion for receiving brainwaves, and are much more accurate than Mindsky's best brainwave helmets, because the brainwaves received are more accurate, and after Duke's improvement of its pattern recognition, it has a higher tolerance for emotional errors, and the operation process is smoother when connected to Duke's fighting games.
At just $299, Duke is even more broken than Mindsky's products.
None of these things matter, the point is that the valuation given by the fund company is extremely attractive to Duke.
NexorSky is valued at less than $2 million, while GmoSystems is valued at about $15 million.
This is undoubtedly a fairly attractive price for Duke.
