Chapter 709: [Whoever masters the entrance to the virtual world will master the future]

Chapter 711 [Whoever controls the entrance to the virtual world will have the future]
"How much do you want?" Luo Sheng asked Gao Hua directly.
"40 billion yuan." Gao Hua replied.
Luo Sheng roughly calculated that 40 billion yuan is about 6 billion US dollars, and immediately said: "Then you will have to play me in the second half of the year. I will give you 100 billion yuan. This year, don’t bother me with money. , Is it enough? Not enough?
Gao Hua responded quickly with a big smile: "Enough is enough, this is definitely enough, maybe there will be a balance."
Yao Jianhong said on the spot: "Listen to your tone, is this worth the pride? When will you take out the prototype to be proud again."
Gao Hua: "Uh... alas... it's really killing people at the rank of Guanda University. I want more than you, and I don't even get you right now."
Luo Sheng dared to smash the money without hesitation, and he assured the project department that he was appropriating because he knew that the money was indeed used in research and development, and he didn't greedy his money into his personal pocket.
The company has an account book, and Luo Sheng himself has another small book that only he knows, that is, Xiao Na will track the whereabouts of each fund.
Luo Sheng cannot know all the details of the company, as long as it is normal and reasonable operation, he basically does not know, unless he takes the initiative to find Xiao Na to check the files, because he does not need to know.
But as long as something unusual happens, Xiao Na will report to him separately, and he will know everything about these things as soon as they happen.
Without the existence of Xiao Na, the "walking Jin Yiwei", Luo Sheng's hand-shaking will never be as easy and so reassuring as it is now.
The plate is so big that the combined global employees of all companies have more than 2 million people, more than the employees of the Wal-Mart Group. It is impossible for everyone to be clean. This is unrealistic. In recent years, some of its departments have been more or less Everyone commits crimes, and middle-level managers misappropriate public funds and embezzle public money, and all are sent in without exception.
The loss was second, even insignificant. What he really could not accept was being blindfolded by the people below.
Luo Sheng looked at Yao Jianhong and said: "Musk is also engaged in minimally invasive brain-computer interface technology. Another technology giant Google is also challenging in this field. Everyone can see that the competition for this type of technology is to compete for the future. We can’t stop, we are seven or eight years faster than them, and you will be caught up as soon as you rest your fingers."
Yao Jianhong said concisely: "The question is coming, where is the future?"
Luo Sheng laughed: "The current answer is that the world's major technology giants are working in the frontier technology field, all pointing to the future of mankind to the virtual world created by computers. Over the years, humans have been opening this virtual world The entrance of the tunnel carries a series of technical reserves."
Speaking of which, Luo Sheng broke his finger and enumerated one by one: "Now the ubiquitous artificial intelligence can provide the virtual world with the functional algorithms required for normal operation. In this field, I’m on the Côte d’Azur and it is absolutely ahead; Secondly, the blockchain technology with a new distributed architecture is a more efficient and safe hardware structure framework; furthermore, the 5G technology, which is already on the eve of large-scale commercial use, has further increased the efficiency of data interaction transmission and can meet the requirements of larger digital Interactive demand, this piece of Huawei is already leading the world."
Luo Sheng couldn’t help but smile on the boss’s chair:
Before that, we had been waiting for Hua to be this strategic partner. If we let them walk ahead and wait for us, I would be uncomfortable and have no face.

It is worth mentioning that the most successful application of blockchain technology is a variety of encrypted digital currencies, which has become the prototype of the future digital currency. Once the digital currency matures, it means that a set of comparable digital currencies can be built in the virtual world. Realistic economic system.
Luo Sheng withdrew his hands and turned to look at them one by one. He added: "For my company, the biggest problem is that one day the virtual world will be scaled, and how to obtain access to this world. Entrance? To put it bluntly, what technical route does the hardware terminal take."
Tech giants are looking for this entrance. At present, the industry provides two major solutions: one is the brain-computer interface that has risen in recent years and is basically in concept, and the other is the virtual reality that is very popular. These two solutions They are all regarded as the entrance to the virtual world.
It can be said that whoever has control of the entrance to the virtual world will have control of the future.
The brain-computer interface that Musk wants to do is to take the "immersion" route. The so-called "immersion" simply means to make a hole in the human head, which is a bit of a hacker empire, and the test results also prove this One route is indeed feasible and technically feasible.
However, although Musk's brain-computer interface technology is declared to be "minimally invasive", there are congenital social ethical controversies. Whether the brain is opened or not, the resulting terminal will become an indispensable part of the human body. It will affect the physiological properties of human beings, and even subvert the self-cognition of individuals, which will bring questions about "who am I", more difficulties in privacy protection, ambiguity in the determination of legal responsibilities and free will. Distortion control, etc.
Although the brain-computer interface technology currently promoted by Musk is mainly used to help people with brain disabilities who have inconvenient lives, no one can guarantee that normal people will not be tempted by the enhancement of physical functions.
The rhythm of the well-predicted cyberpunk precursor.
Google is betting on virtual reality, which is more humane than that, and there will be no ethical dilemma of "who am I", which can avoid many unnecessary social risk disputes.
But the biggest problem with virtual reality is that it is impossible to achieve a truly immersive experience, which is the biggest reason why Luo Sheng did not hesitate to abandon the development of virtual reality technology.
The "Virtual Brain Machine" under the Côte d'Azur Coast combines the advantages of the two. The non-invasive technology avoids the ethical dilemma of "Who Am I", without the need to make a hole in the human brain, and the product will be smooth in the future Launch, will not suffer too much social resistance.
At the same time, it can bring a real immersive experience.
But the "virtual brain machine" also has its own pain points, that is, this thing is too difficult, the technology is too difficult, the Côte d’Azur laboratory has been dead for ten years, consuming sky-high R&D funds, and the budget expenditure is over and over. .
But once it is done, the competitiveness of the virtual brain machine must be invincible, and it is really possible to hang Musk and Page, and the previous efforts will inevitably bring unimaginable rich returns.
Once the commercialization of the virtual brain computer is realized, it is not an exaggeration to be able to build an economic system comparable to reality. In fact, its full-featured simulation system can achieve a highly realistic degree of human-computer interaction that cannot be achieved by any terminal device, making it sufficient. Widely used in game entertainment, education, design, military simulation training, aerospace and so on.
"There are too many things a virtual brain machine can do, and it is also extremely valuable in military applications, but it cannot be labeled as military products. This is not conducive to the promotion of products. This is a problem we want to avoid." Looking at the two of them, they said in an orderly way: "So, what should we position it on the label as much as possible? The answer is to move closer to the game entertainment segment, so we have to define it as the next-generation game console."
Both Yao Jianhong and Gao Hua nodded in agreement. The advantage of doing so is to avoid unnecessary controversy. As for some military institutions at home and abroad to buy in batches for simulation training, it doesn't matter to me.
All military forces now use game consoles as terminal control drones and unmanned submersible vehicles. Some domestic hosts are used by the military for military purposes, and foreign Americans also use Microsoft Xbox game consoles for military purposes.
Because the game consoles are really easy to use, they don’t need the military’s extra funds for research and development. These game technology companies have invested hundreds of millions of billions of dollars in research and development to improve performance. It’s easy to get started if you don’t play games.
The two major advantages can quickly form combat power and reduce military expenditure.
Luo Sheng murmured to himself: "I'll say hello to Lao Zhang later, let him urge R star and other game production companies to quickly set up a virtual brain machine project for the new work, the development cycle will not be short, you need to engage in advance , Products with hardware in place at the application level also have to follow up."
This is necessary, otherwise when your virtual brain machine comes out, there will be nothing in it, and there is no rich virtual content ecology, then what is the use of advanced iron cans?
Now it’s time to plan ahead, and then you have to wait for those developers to get the content done, wasting huge time costs.
Luo Sheng has established in his mind that several major game works will be released simultaneously with the virtual brain machine in the future. The earlier layout has now begun to play a role. Bluestar Technology Group's international top third-party game developers have occupied half of the country.
This avoids being stuck in the content ecological sector.
The first is CDPR, which is known as the "Polish Stupid Donkey". At present, the company is developing "cyberpunk 2077". This work is one of Luo Sheng's masterpieces that is scheduled to land on a virtual brain machine.
The second is that R Star also has two masterpieces: "GTA6" and "Wild Darts 2".
It is worth mentioning that "GTA5" was released in 2015, and it is still on the Steam bestseller list. It even hangs some new works that have just been listed. It has been sold for three years and it is a bit outrageous. R developers have lost the motivation to develop "GTA6", why can they develop the constellation just for a while, this sales force, it seems that the sales of "GTA5" can continue to play for another three years.
In addition, Ubisoft's "Assassin's Creed" series has to urge them to set up a new work on the virtual brain computer port. It also includes the holding of Blizzard Entertainment's "World of Warcraft" to develop a virtual brain computer port work for the whole to move it over. A wave of nostalgic new world series.
Although this phenomenal online game of "World of Warcraft" is no longer the grand occasion of that year, the fans accumulated over the past ten years are extremely huge. The revolutionary new technology and feelings can definitely "cheat" many game users. car.
Naturally, the "Resident Evil" series is also required to land on the virtual brain-machine platform.
After listening to his requests for major game developers under Blue Star Technology, Yao Jianhong said: "For a brand new platform, these developers may not respond positively, they are also afraid of overturning, and the development of the virtual brain computer port must be made 3A level. For high-quality products, the development cost will multiply, and they may not dare to take this risk."
Luo Sheng said calmly: "The risk issue is plainly a matter of money, is it not that the blood loss will not return the cost? This is easy to handle, I will give subsidies, whether it is a subsidiary of Bluestar Technology or an external third-party development Merchants, I’m subsidizing all of the Côte d’Azur on this trip. What about the $350 billion in cash reserves put in a small vault? The works I named above directly fund his development costs and guarantee them 100% profit If you don’t lose money, you will not believe what they refused."
Yao Jianhong spread his hand: "Well, UU reads the book www.uukanshu.com to solve the problem of unresolved banknotes. I am so speechless with such a simple and ingenious trick..."
Luo Sheng smiled, even if 100% of the losses of all the above works were covered by the Côte d'Azur, it would be like a loss of 10 billion US dollars. This money is really tickling, even scratching for the current Côte d'Azur. Itchy doesn't count.
Third-party game developers: Do you believe it? In fact, I refused at first, but Luo Sheng was really...
All in all, Luo Sheng’s purpose is very simple. Through these well-known and accumulated fans of the game as an attraction, try to "cheat" all users. Let me quickly establish the ecosystem of the virtual world. Keep the entire virtual community active.
Not to mention hundreds of billions of dollars, even if it is 50 billion dollars or more, it is an investment at any cost. Virtual world, this is the ultimate evolution of the Internet.
After the ecological establishment of the virtual community is completed, the company can really lie down and count the money to the top 500 in the world.
