Chapter 709 [Whoever masters the entrance to the virtual world will master the future]
"How much do you want?" Luo Sheng looked at Gao Hua and asked directly.
"40 billion yuan." Gao Hua replied.
Luo Sheng calculated roughly in his mind that 40 billion yuan was about 6 billion US dollars, and then said, "Then you have to come to play me again in the second half of the year. I will give you 100 billion yuan. This year, don't bother me about money. Is it enough? If it's not enough, add some more?"
Gao Hua immediately laughed and responded quickly: "It's enough, it must be enough, maybe there's still a surplus."
Yao Jianhong complained on the spot: "Listen to your tone, this is worth pride, right? When will I take out the prototype to be prouder?"
Gao Hua: "Uh...ah... It's really a senior official who is a big shot. I want to take it to you more than you, and I'm not even going to take it to you now."
Luo Sheng dared to spend money without hesitation and allocate funds to the project department with confidence because he knew that all the money was used in research and development, and he did not greed for it in his private pockets.
The company has an account book, and Luo Sheng himself has another small notebook that he only knows, that is, Xiao Na will track the whereabouts of each fund.
Luo Sheng could not know all the details of the company. As long as it is operated normally and reasonably, he basically didn't know it, unless he took the initiative to look up the files with Xiaona, because he didn't need to know it.
But as long as abnormal situations occur, Xiao Na will report to him alone, and he will know every thing that happens.
Without Xiao Na, the "Yexing Jinyiwei", Luo Sheng would never be as relaxed and so relieved as he is now.
The plate is so big that all companies have more than two million employees worldwide, exceeding the Walmart Group employees. It is impossible for everyone to be clean. This is unrealistic. Over the years, some of its departments have committed more or less crimes. Some middle-level managers who embezzle public funds and privately greedy for public funds have been sent in without exception.
The loss was second-hand, even insignificant. What he really couldn't accept was being kept in the dark by the people below.
Luo Sheng looked at Yao Jianhong and said, "Musk is also developing minimally invasive brain-computer interface technology. Another technology giant, Google, is also challenging this field. Everyone can see that the competition for this type of technology is to compete for the future. We cannot stop. We have finally been faster than them for seven or eight years. Once you take a break, you may be caught up with me."
Yao Jianhong said concisely: "The problem is here, where is the future?"
Luo Sheng smiled and said, "The answer given at present is that the major technology giants around the world are all making efforts in cutting-edge technology fields and pointing the future of human beings to the virtual world created by computers. In recent years, human beings have been making a series of technological reserves to open the entrance to this virtual world."
Speaking of this, Luo Sheng raked his fingers and listed one by one: "The ubiquitous artificial intelligence can provide the virtual world with the functional algorithms needed for normal operation. In this field, I am far ahead and absolutely leading; secondly, the blockchain technology with a new distributed architecture is a hardware structure framework that can be more efficient and secure; furthermore, the 5g technology, which is already on the eve of large-scale commercialization, has further leaped the efficiency of data interaction transmission, and can meet the needs of larger-scale digital interactions. This area is already leading the world."
Luo Sheng leaned against the boss chair and couldn't help but smile: "Before this, we have been waiting for Hua to be this strategic partner. If they were asked to wait for us in the front, I would be unacceptable and I would be embarrassed."
It is worth mentioning that the most successful application of blockchain technology is the current various cryptocurrencies, which have become the prototype of future digital currencies. Once digital currencies mature, it means that an economic system that is comparable to reality can be established in the virtual world.
Luo Sheng took back his hand and looked at them one after another and added: "For our company, the biggest problem is that one day the virtual world will form a scale. How should we use to obtain the access to the channel to enter this world? To put it bluntly, what technical route should the hardware terminal take."
Technology giants are all looking for this entrance. The industry currently provides two major solutions: one is the brain-computer interface that has emerged in recent years and is basically in concept, and the other is the once-prosperous virtual reality. Both solutions are regarded as entrances to the virtual world.
It can be said that whoever grasps the entrance to the virtual world will master the future.
The brain-computer interface that Musk wants to develop is to take the "immersion" route. The so-called "immersion" simply means to make a hole in the human head, which has a bit of the Matrix flavor. The experimental results also prove that this route is indeed feasible and technically valid.
However, although Musk's brain-computer interface technology is claimed to be "minimally invasive" level, it has inherent social ethical controversy. Regardless of whether the craniotomy is opened or not, the terminal generated will become an indispensable part of the human body. This will affect the physiological attributes of human beings and even subvert the self-cognition of individuals. This will bring questions about "who am I", and will also bring more difficulties in privacy protection, blurred legal responsibility recognition, and distorted control of free will.
Although Musk currently promotes brain-computer interface technology mainly used to help brain-dead people with inconvenience in life, no one can guarantee that normal people will not be tempted by enhanced physical functions.
This style is a perfect rhythm of cyberpunk precursor.
Google is betting on virtual reality, which is more human than that, and there is no ethical dilemma of "who am I", which can avoid many unnecessary social risks.
But the biggest problem with virtual reality is that it cannot achieve a truly immersive experience, which is also the biggest reason why Luo Sheng gave up the development of virtual reality technology without hesitation.
The "virtual brain machine" under the Costa del Sur combines the advantages of both. The non-invasive technology avoids the ethical dilemma of "Who am I?" and does not need to make a hole in the human brain. In the future, the product can be launched smoothly and will not suffer too much social resistance.
It also brings a truly immersive experience.
But "virtual brain computers" also have their own pain points, that is, this thing is too difficult to deal with and the technology is too difficult to deal with. The Coast of Blue Laboratory has been working hard for ten years, spending sky-high R&D funds, and its budget expenditure has been more and more expensive.
But once it is done, the competitiveness of virtual brain computers will inevitably be invincible. It is really possible to hang up Musk and Page, and the previous efforts will inevitably bring unimaginable rich returns.
Once virtual brain computers are commercially popularized, it is no exaggeration to establish an economic system that is comparable to reality. In fact, its full-function simulation system can achieve a highly realistic human-computer interaction level that no terminal device can achieve, making it widely used in game entertainment, education, design, military simulation training, aerospace fields, etc.
"There are too many things that virtual brain functions, and it is of great value in military use, but people cannot label it with military products. This is not conducive to product promotion. This is a problem that we must try our best to avoid." Luo Sheng looked at the two of them in an orderly manner and said: "So, what should we position it as as much as possible on the label? The answer is to move closer to the game entertainment, so we must define it as the next generation of acc game console."
Yao Jianhong and Gao Hua both nodded in agreement. The advantage of doing this is to avoid some unnecessary controversy. As for some domestic and foreign military institutions to purchase batches for simulation training, they will not care about my business.
Nowadays, all military use game consoles as terminal control drones and unmanned submarines. There are ACC consoles in China that are used by the military for military purposes. Foreign Americans also use Microsoft's Xbox game consoles for military purposes.
Because game consoles are really easy to use, firstly, they don’t need additional military funding to develop, these game technology companies have invested a huge amount of R&D to improve their performance by hundreds of billions and billions of dollars. Secondly, there are few new generation soldiers who don’t play games before joining the army, so it’s easy to get started.
The two major advantages can quickly form combat effectiveness and reduce military expenditure.
Luo Sheng murmured to himself: "I have to say hello to Lao Zhang later and ask him to urge game production companies such as R Star to quickly launch projects for new works. The development cycle will not be short, and it must be done in advance. If the hardware is in place, the application-level products must also be followed."
This is a must, otherwise when your virtual brain machine comes out, there will be nothing in it and there is no rich virtual content ecosystem. So what's the use of advanced iron cans?
Now that we don’t plan ahead, we have to wait for the developers to do the content well, which is a waste of huge time costs.
Luo Sheng has established in his mind that several major game works will be released simultaneously with virtual brain computers in the future. The earlier layout has begun to play a role now. The top international third-party game developers under Bluestar Technology Group have occupied half of the market.
This avoids being choked in the content ecological sector.
The first is the CDPR company known as the "Polish stupid donkey". The company is currently developing "Cyberpunk 2077", which is one of the masterpieces that Luo Shengnei is required to log in to the virtual brain computer.
Secondly, R Star also has two masterpieces: "gta6" and "Red Dead Redemption 2".
It is worth mentioning that "gta5" was released in 2015 and is still on the Steam best-selling list. It has even beaten some new works that have just been on the market. It is a bit outrageous that it can still be so hard after three years. It also makes R-star developers lose the motivation to develop "gta6". Why do you need to develop constellations for a while? With this best-selling intensity, it seems that the sales of "gta5" can continue to be played for another three years.
In addition, the "Assassin's Creed" series under Ubisoft also has to urge them to launch a new work on virtual brain computer ports, including the "World of Warcraft" under the controlling Blizzard Entertainment, which also develops a virtual brain computer port work for the overall development to move it, which can create a unique new world nostalgic series.
Although the phenomenal online game "World of Warcraft" is no longer as grand as it was back then, the fans accumulated over the past decade are extremely huge. The transformative new technology and sentiment will definitely "scam" many player users to get on the car.
Of course, the "Resident Evil" series must not be missing to log in to the virtual brain computer platform.
After hearing his requests to major game developers under Bluestar Technology, Yao Jianhong said: "For a brand new platform, these developers may not respond actively, and they are also afraid of a failure. The development of virtual brain-computer ports will produce 3A-level high-quality products, and the development cost will soar exponentially, and they may not dare to take this risk."
Luo Sheng said calmly: "To put it bluntly, it's just a matter of money. Isn't it just a fear of losing money and not being able to recover the cost? This is easy to deal with. Whether it is a subsidiary of Blue Star Technology or an external third-party developer, I will subsidize all the Costa straits on my trip. I will put $350 billion in cash reserves in the small treasury to eat dust? The works I named above directly cover their development costs and ensure that they make 100% of their money and do not lose money. I don't believe what they refuse."
Yao Jianhong spread his hands: "Okay, I can solve the problem if I don't decide on money. I'm speechless with such a simple and unpretentious move..."
Luo Sheng smiled. Even if the 100% loss of all the above works is covered by the Costa à, it will only cost 10 billion US dollars. This amount of money is really tickling for the current Costa à, and even tickling is not counted.
Third-party game developer: Do you believe it? Actually, I refused at the beginning, but Luo Sheng really...
In short, Luo Sheng’s purpose is very simple. Through these game masterpieces that have become famous for a long time and have accumulated a lot of fans, we will try our best to "scam" all users, and quickly build the ecosystem of the virtual world so that the entire virtual community can be kept active when it is opened.
Not to mention hundreds of billions of dollars, even if it is 50 billion dollars or even more, you have to invest at any cost. The virtual world is the ultimate evolutionary version of the Internet.
After the virtual community ecosystem is established, the company can really count money and count to the top 500 in the world.
