The lobby is bustling with potential customers, most of them carrying a brown paper bag or backpack.

Through the open opening, it is not difficult to see that the items inside are mobile phones, cameras, hard drives, diaries, photo albums, and Moss Ai glasses.

There are hundreds of sets of tables and chairs in the rest area, and the staff wearing uniform do not forget to use the rice iPad to show the digital human 'Wang Qiang' to customers while introducing the charging standard of the 'Eternal Virtual World'.

Zhou Chen showed envious eyes, he had consulted in advance, the more video information remained, the more successful and perfect the 'clones' made by Moss would be.

Through the cloning of images and voices, it can only be regarded as a painted skin;

A digital life that is infinitely close to one's personality and thinking can be called a painted bone;

A digital person with all the memories, experiences, and consciousness is the one who draws the heart!

However, before Su Qianqian's death, Moss Ai glasses were not popular, except for some photos, videos and chat records, Zhou Chen could no longer get other information.

"Mr. Zhou, I have read all your materials, and the video is basically shot two years ago, and the picture quality is not clear enough.

However, fortunately, Miss Su still has hundreds of high-definition photos, which are enough to make up for the details of her posture and appearance, and Moss can recognize the voiceprint characteristics in her voice, so as to achieve a perfect reproduction. ”

The staff member responsible for receiving Zhou Chen is named Zhang Shiyue, a girl in her twenties, who has just graduated from the dotted line college, and happened to meet the future technology recruitment business BD, so she submitted her resume with the idea of giving it a try.

Unexpectedly, everything went well, and she, a graduate of a second university, also entered the Shanhai Group.

You must know that although it is only a business position with a low basic salary, it is still equipped with six insurances and two housing funds, four quarterly bonuses and one year-end bonus.

After listening to Zhou Chen's story, Zhang Shiyue couldn't help but sigh secretly, this job has made her see too many joys and sorrows.

"She... Will she be exactly the same as Su Qianqian? ”

Zhou Chen raised his head and asked, his voice trembling a little.

"According to the amount of data, the completion of appearance can reach 100%, but the effect of personality, speaking style and thinking is only 20% at most.

After all, Moss doesn't know enough about Miss Su's life experience, unless ......"

Zhang Shiyue said unhurriedly.

"Unless what?"

Before Zhou Chen could finish speaking, he hurriedly asked.

"If Mr. Zhou is willing to implant a microelectrode biochip and transmit the common memories of you and Miss Su to the server, the simulation degree can be greatly improved."

Zhang Shiyue replied.

This method is suitable for customers with few model data and high requirements, but the disadvantages are also obvious, such as high cost and long cycle.

"If I were willing to implant a biochip, how much would she be able to reduce?"

Zhou Chen said in a sullen voice.

"More than 80%! In addition, I have to remind Mr. Zhou that when the intelligent model absorbs too many of your memories, it will cause the virtual person to be more biased towards your cognition than the original Miss Su. ”

Zhang Shiyue said.

"I understand, according to the plan you said, quote a price."

Zhou Chen bowed slightly.

He knew very well in his heart that 'Su Qianqian' was no longer there, and even if it was a 100% identical virtual person, it was just a replacement.

"The service fee for biochip implantation and brain wave transmission is 150,000 Chinese dollars, and Miss Su's account opening fee is 66,000 Chinese dollars, and the technical service fee for an additional three years is 224,664 Chinese dollars."

Zhang Shiyue replied immediately.

"What is this?"

Zhou Chen pointed to the document pressed under Zhang Shiyue's arm and asked curiously.

"It is mainly about the value-added services of the daily life of virtual people, including villas, luxury cars, yachts, islands, servants and currency, etc."

Zhang Shiyue explained softly.

Do virtual humans still need these things?

Zhou Chen couldn't help but smile bitterly, and said with emotion: "Your company will indeed make money. ”

"Mr. Zhou, the characters of the immortal virtual world, you can understand that they actually live in another parallel time and space."

Zhang Shiyue said with a smile.

……

The explosion of the 'immortal virtual world' has boosted the sales of Moss Ai glasses.

In just three days, 8.6 million pairs of stock were sold out worldwide, and 90% of users chose to activate Moss cloud storage.

The price of 1TB is 19.9 Chinese dollars per month, without blinking an eye.

10 hours of video content usually requires 5GB of capacity, and a year's worth of video information requires 2TB of cloud storage.

The scale of Moss Cloud's paying users has surged from 13 million to 46 million, especially for middle-aged parents, who are afraid of accidents and cannot accompany their children to grow up, so their enthusiasm for consumption is particularly strong.

Future Technology has increased its sales by 15.49 billion US dollars with Moss's Ai glasses and cloud service business alone.

……

Thousands of miles away, Big Wave Bay, Hong Kong Island.

Xu Shixun, 87 years old this year, sat in a wheelchair, looking at the mountains and forests and high-rise buildings in front of him, and the dark clouds in the sky seemed to be like his vitality, which was about to come to an end.

He is the third son of Xu Aizhou, one of the top ten richest people on Hong Kong Island and a shipping tycoon, who grew up with a golden spoon in his mouth, and his family assets are as high as hundreds of billions of Hong Kong banknotes, which he will never spend in his life.

In fact, he has experimented with practical actions, and money will only be spent more and more.

He took over the real estate company from his father and caught up with the golden period of the Hong Kong Island property market, and the overall trend has been rising despite the ups and downs of house prices.

His wealth rose with the tide, easily breaking the rumor that "he is not rich for three generations", and his sons and grandsons still have endless banknotes.

Luxury cars, villas, airplanes and yachts, luxury goods that others dare not think of, the children and grandchildren of the Xu family can get them at their fingertips from the day they are born.

"Immortal virtual world? Interesting! ”

Xu Shixun muttered quietly.

A physicist like Stephen Hunting doesn't want to die, how can he willingly die after decades in business and endless wealth?

Although he can only continue to survive as a digital person, he is still full of interest.

"Ah Fu, help me connect with the future technology in the north, I want to implant a biochip as soon as possible."

After a long time, Xu Shixun said to the housekeeper beside him.

"Yes, sir."

Ah Fu replied that he had worked in the Xu family all his life, so he naturally obeyed his words.

It didn't take long for Xu Shixun to go to Yancheng to upload the news of consciousness, which instantly caused an uproar in the rich circle of Hong Kong Island.

"Daddy! You're not in good health, and it's really worrying us to go for surgery again. ”

His only son, Xu Jingheng, said sincerely, his face full of worry.

Xu Shixun smiled faintly, secretly glanced at his daughter-in-law Li Jiaxin with his peripheral vision, and then said: "Ah Zai, even if I don't have surgery, my body won't last long, I want to try new technology and new opportunities, this is a new attempt for me." Perhaps, with a different electronic body, you can live more easily. ”

Although he has a lot of money, he can't resist the erosion of time and the aging of his physical functions.

"Rest assured, the property that belongs to you will not be missing."

Xu Shixun said lightly.

He has been a son, he has seen his father die, and he has participated in family battles, Xu Jingheng has already felt what he is thinking.

"Daddy, I didn't mean that......"

Heo wanted to argue about something.

"It doesn't matter."

Xu Shixun waved his hand and said, the family doctor told him the truth, with his current physical fitness, it will be difficult to survive the winter of 2018.

Hong Kong Island Lee Family!

What a home on the island of Australia!

Bay Island Guo family!

Luzon Shi family!

For a while, they were quietly contacting Future Technology and wanted to add money to queue up!

They don't look at the ordinary 'immortal virtual world', but want Future Technology to launch customized services, providing the same 'local area network' digital world as David Loefeller, and enjoy a new space exclusively.

Plus, stay connected at all times, so you're in control.

Zhang Nan responded to it all, and shouted out the sky-high price of "1 billion US dollars" in one breath, which made the super-rich people in Southeast Ya change color.

However, there are still people who pay for it easily!

In this world, the poor are strange, and the rich are the same, when Chen Heyu learned that Zhang Nan signed 9 customized services in one go, he couldn't help but scold: "Big dog!" ”

You are the ones who are slaughtered by labor and capital!

Chen Heyu grinned.

As time went on, the top scientists of the beautiful country continued to fly to the Greater China District, which immediately attracted the attention of the high-level officials.

In the long run, there will always be some geniuses in biology, mathematics, physics and chemistry who will hand over their lifelong knowledge to Shanhai Group for free.

Not to mention that the science promotion associations of beautiful countries cannot tolerate it, even the engineering academicians of neon and Korea have moved their minds.

"Boss, Mr. Isado, I booked a ticket to Shanghai yesterday, do we want to intercept it?"

In the center of Huadu, in a skyscraper, a white man with sharp eyes bowed down and reported.

"Interception? On what grounds? Do you know Mr. Isado's position at the hemp rope polytechnic university? His students are all over PNSA and DARPA! ”

Dulles roared.

He realized that the Shanhai Group's behavior was wrong, but he couldn't stop it, because the beautiful country has always flaunted freedom, and if he dared to restrict a top scholar in the world, the winner of the Albert Prize, it would inevitably cause a riot.

"That ......"

The subordinate wondered.

"I'll report it, you follow up on the statistics first, this matter is very tricky."

Dulles frowned. (End of chapter)
