Chapter 1091: "Phantom" system

In response to the public's expectations for virtual reality technology, the product launch conference of Starry Sky Technology was held as scheduled. Not only was the technical details of the "Phantom" virtual reality system announced at the conference, but five head-mounted nerve access helmets And the special ergonomic chair was brought to the scene of the conference.
Almost just the beginning, the crowded product launch scene, the atmosphere reached its peak.
The scene was screaming again and again, and the incredible sound of exclaiming came one after another.
People scramble to experience this feeling of being immersed in the second world, even if it only leaves everyone three minutes.
In front of it, whether it is beauty or ugliness, whether young or old ... even gender can be redefined.
After the on-site experience session, wearing a mature, stable yet beautiful suit, Ms. Chen Yushan, CEO of Xingkong Technology, came to the stage.
Facing the enthusiastic reporters and the footage in their hands, her face with a smile like a spring breeze, while showing the starry sky technology corporate image to the world, she spent about five minutes on this set called "Phantom "The virtual reality system was explained briefly.
Immediately after, there was the gao tide of the entire product launch—that is, the questioning session that everyone was looking forward to.
Compared to Lu Zhou, who never gives reporters a good look, Chen Yushan is undoubtedly more handy in responding to interviews. No matter how tricky the question is, she can answer everything.
Most domestic journalists focus on supervision and related policies, while foreign journalists are more concerned about the safety of this gadget and how long it takes to buy it.
"Hello, I am a Yomiuri journalist. Does the technique of applying nerve microcurrent to the brain cause damage to the brain?"
Chen Yushan: "Our technology is absolutely safe. It will only be put on the local market after passing the specialized tests of the relevant departments of the country concerned. Please rest assured that we cannot directly apply unproven technology to users."
"Hello, I am a Wall Street Journal reporter. Does the appearance of the Phantom System mean that Xingkong Technology is about to make strategic changes from the field of patent management to the field of production."
Chen Yushan: "This plan is temporarily unavailable. At present, the strategy we plan to adopt is patent licensing and co-production. In short, we will consider finding suitable qualified companies to replace us to produce helmets containing neural modems. The technology itself does not There is nothing difficult. Letting more outstanding companies participate in this ecosystem is also the consensus reached after our high-level discussions. "
"In contrast, we will focus on the maintenance of the" Phantom "system and provide cloud computing support for users of the" Phantom "system."
The Wall Street Journal reporter: "That is to say, there is a long time before consumers can buy this device."
Chen Yushan: "It depends on the country's attitude towards the technology and the time of technical safety inspection. Of course, if China is here, the first batch of products should be launched at the end of the year at the latest."
Hearing that consumers in China could buy them at the end of the year, the rumors soon spread. Many reporters from other countries have envious expressions on their faces. They have just experienced this feeling, and they are very clear about how great the impact of this technology on a society will be.
Except for games and movies, there are too many places to use it ...
One question ends.
Immediately, another microphone came up.
"Hello, I'm a BBC reporter. How do you think of Professor Lu?"
This is a very strange question, and it has nothing to do with virtual reality technology, so that after Chen Yushan heard it, she stumbled a little unexpectedly and thought for a while before answering.
"In his work, he is a respectable scholar and the soul of Xingkong Technology. Not only me, but also many R & D personnel of Xingkong Technology adore him."
The reporter from BBC continued to ask.
"What about life? Many people say--"
Chen Yushan smiled and said, "Is this related to the press conference itself?"
...
At the same time, far across the Pacific Ocean, in a villa in the rich area of ​​Los Angeles.
Musk, who was sitting in his living room watching the live broadcast of the conference, patted the beer bottle in his hand heavily on the table.
"Damn!"
Although the journalists hate it, one thing is quite flattering, that is, no matter how the press release is written, the expression on their faces will not lie.
However, this also proves that Xingkong Technology is not joking.
That legendary neural access type virtual reality device not only didn't have a bit of word game, it even exceeded people's expectations.
Otherwise, the situation at the scene will not be so feverish.
Sure enough, what he was most worried about eventually happened.
Take out the phone, the list of contacts in Musk's screen, and take a deep breath for a while.
Just when he finally made up his mind to call the person, a request for a video call suddenly flung to his mobile phone.
Looking at the name of the person displayed on the screen, Musk couldn't help but have a weird expression, but still tried to squeeze out a business-smiling smile and pressed the button when the ringtone sounded a third time.
"Hello Mr. Lawrence, it is so coincidental that I am about to call you."
As far away as the mansion in Boston on the East Coast, David Lawrence, sitting in the study, was watching the launch event in the tablet and talking to the cellphone in his house.
"I guess you might call me, so just call yourself. I prefer to communicate face-to-face like this, rather than relying solely on voice."
Musk's expression couldn't help but be a little awkward.
Just as he was about to say something, Lawrence on the video call suddenly smiled and continued.
"... Xingkong Technology did not disappoint me, but their virtual reality technology has already achieved a surprising degree."
Musk: "I think our technical route still has potential."
"I don't deny it," Lawrence smiled slightly, and continued, "but that's not what I care about."
Hearing this sentence, Musk was speechless for a moment and didn't know what to say.
Looking at Musk in the video, Lawrence continued.
"Collaborate with Xingkong Technology, this technology will sooner or later enter North America."
Musk said for a while in silence: "... I'm afraid it won't be easy. Even if we don't start behind, other people will definitely stop them. As far as I know, Zuckerberg is doing this stuff, and Google And Amazon ... Silicon Valley's tech giants won't watch a Chinese company come in and their long-salted cake. "
The meaning in Lawrence's words is obvious.
Apparently, he has lost confidence in that "neural lace" project.
No matter how you look at it, non-intrusive virtual reality technology that doesn't need to be intubated behind the brain is far easier to get the public's favor than invasive virtual reality technology with nanotube drilling.
Musk thinks so too, but in the face of Starry Sky Technology, the frustrations have started to make him a bit irrational ...
It would be better to say ~ EbookFREE.me ~ It is not easy for him to endure now.
Hearing what Musk meant to win for his project, Lawrence smiled slightly and said, "Intel and Qualcomm used to think the same, but in the end, they compromised, and they are proud of the silicon-based Come out of the chip ecosystem. Do you understand what I mean? "
"Neither Facebook nor Google nor Amazon is necessary for the second world of humankind. If they do not make a choice, they will be eliminated, and this can happen almost overnight. . "
"In fact, if you have studied financial markets, you will find that the Nasdaq can be described as an undercurrent in these days. If carbon-based chips have completely changed the ecological structure of the electronics industry, then the current virtual reality technology will subvert Will be the entire ecological structure of the Internet. "
"In this new ecology, a large number of giants that cannot keep up with the times will be eliminated, and a number of new giants will emerge, and this is almost inevitable."
"I don't know much about the Internet, but this is what my consultant told me. In the future, the network will be divided into two networks, flatter and flatter, and stereoscopic and stereoscopic."
"I think he makes some sense. Now I give you this sentence."
Looking at Musk, who clenched his fists and said nothing, Lawrence continued in a relaxed tone.
"Anyway, I must get virtual reality technology, whether it is to cooperate with Xingkong Technology, or to continue your nerve lace project."
"How to choose, it's up to you."
"As for me," he paused, looking at Musk, who was holding his breath on the video phone. He smiled brilliantly and cruelly. "Only from among you, choose the one that can survive." station
