Chapter 471 New outlet-Puzzle
Wang Yi's revelations this time are not without weight.
High attention has been paid to all aspects.
But just as Wang Yi himself predicted.
With the New York incident and the birth of the space travel phenomenon, Umbrella's technology and systematic magic numbers have a very reasonable source.
Coupled with the completely different style of music that Wang Yi released back then, something that obviously has a very long history has a new and more reasonable explanation!
I couldn't guess it before, because I haven't seen it before and don't know.
Compared with those more ridiculous possibilities, it is better to explain it by referring to 'genius'. After all, Wang Yi's talent is also a well-known talent.
But now, after experiencing a series of events, it is natural for everyone who should know to know the ‘truth’.
Wang Yi just generously let ordinary people understand this situation.
The sooner the wind blows, the sooner you prepare, and the stronger your adaptability will be when facing unprecedented changes...
What happened to the world without demons?
Wouldn't it be enough to use the abyss as a springboard to occupy a world with demons?
Now there is actually a ready-made ruins of civilization. The civilization destroyed by Enzo has begun to have initial contact with the use of magic power, and the concentration of magic power is a little higher than that of the earth.
It’s just that we don’t have enough manpower...
Just like zombies, just after they first appeared, various theories of the end of the world and the destruction of the world appeared.
Cults are everywhere.
Then after several biochemical crises, it was discovered that if it had not been deliberately spread by humans, this would be the zombie virus?
Even though neon was obviously artificial for the second time, it still affected all parts of the world.
But the result is just like this. Most people only see it in the news and short videos, and then at most they hear that a patient appeared somewhere in the city next to their home, but it was quickly controlled or something.
The reason for the recurrence of infections like that in South Korea is purely because of the hindrance of the beautiful garrison base.
So in fact, people's adaptability far exceeds their expectations.
Just like many people, it is difficult to imagine how people in war-torn areas of Africa and some special areas survive, but they survive there tenaciously and can find things that make them happy and interested.
There is so much cruelty behind the short descriptions in ancient historical records, but the ancients still passed it down to the present.
Whether it is zombie viruses or abyss invasion, in fact, at present, they have adapted a lot to the impact on human beings...
……
"Penguin wants to ask us if there is a possibility of opening up the VR platform and format. They also want to use our platform to develop some games."
In Wang Yi's office, which was closed longer than it was used, Qian Yayan helped him tidy up his clothes with a blushing face, while also saying something that needed Wang Yi to finalize.
"Open, why not open? When the new version of "Star World" is launched, we will directly announce it as open source. However, Penguin has always cooperated with us and just sent them the interface in advance. A development manual is included."
Wang Yi hooked the pretty senior's chin. It had to be said that after moisturizing them for so long, both the senior and Xiaoke were becoming more beautiful now.
However, it is a pity that the body bones are still a little weak, and after his body has exceeded the legend, the possibility of conceiving offspring has become increasingly distant.
The new VR platform hosting "Star World" will naturally be completely open to the outside world and can access more fields.
Because this platform is a true brain-computer + VR model, it is considered a ‘normal’ technology category.
As for the 'virtual world' in the follow-up "Abyss World", World Corporation and Umbrella can only eat alone.
And in fact, the advantage of the 'virtual world' is that it can replace sleeping time, and the conflict with the brain-computer VR platform is not too big.
The latter can also be used in shopping, travel and other more interactive experiences with reality, and can also be developed by major companies in various related applications.
After being interconnected with mobile phones and combined with Red Queen+, in fact, the market size of the brain-machine VR device itself is comparable to that of holographic bracelets.
In terms of internal application development and sharing, it can almost be seen as re-opening a new smartphone-level market!
This market is mainly led by the cooperation between World Corporation and Umbrella!
This is great news for the country.
Equipment technology is mainly provided by Umbrella, such as brain-computer chips and VR screens.
But the underlying logic algorithm of the platform is a patent held by Wang Yi.
It was precisely with the help of this relationship that the final plan 'agreed upon by both parties' was that Umbrella would exclusively provide brain-computer chips and VR screens, while other related OEMs would be handed over to a well-established agency from a large country. Work system!
Because Umbrella needs to meet its own production capacity needs, it has also increased its supply to Dongfang in terms of the supply of robot production.
For now, Umbrella's robots still have to be bound to individuals.
At least until most people around the world get a robot of their own, there is no intention to change for the time being.
Under this situation, when it is fully rolled out, it will probably become a common situation for robots to go out to support their families.
In the past, overcapacity would cause product problems.
But after Umbrella has gradually developed some new tracks, there is really no need to worry about the problem of running out of space in the short term!
And as more "daily products" such as mobile phones, cars, robots, holographic bracelets, brain-computer VR equipment, robotic arms, etc. enter our lives, annual replacement and upgrading will also become a huge consumer market.
In addition, as Red Queen+ has gradually become popular, the demand for various smart electronic products at home is also increasing day by day, and we will also face the problem of replacement and upgrading.
Under the control of Lin Shiqin relying on her own computing power, it is not a big problem to gradually progress and maintain a state of sustainable development.
That is to say, under this expectation, ordinary people who have a lot of time liberated also have enough time and energy to do other things.
Such as having a baby, traveling, consumption...
And most importantly, enter the virtual world to work!
Brain-computer VR will also take up normal time, and people who don’t like games may not spend so much time on it.
But when the virtual world appears, it can replace sleep time, which is equivalent to gaining one-third of life. I believe that few people will be able to refuse it.
And the ‘credit points’ that Umbrella plans to issue can gradually be put on the agenda...
……
"I am a veteran player of "Star World". I have played at least two copies of the movie trilogy. I have ordered a brain-computer VR device!"
"I have also ordered it. Although "Star World" has officially announced that the new version does not require the use of VR equipment, the previous three terminals can still be used, but if you don't use this new thing after it is released, it is really a waste of resources. ”
"Although the price of 2,999 is not cheap, you can still save money by tightening your belt."
"The 6999 version of the helmet I ordered, isn't it better than the computers that can be purchased for tens of thousands of dollars now?"
"Rich man."
"What does this mean? Those who can spend 200,000 yuan to buy sports equipment are the real rich."
"We have an experience store here that claims to have already made reservations. Then I will have the opportunity to try out how to play with this device."
"Good guy, it feels like a new trend, and the cost is not high. I can really try to open a store like this."
"But you have to be able to grab it. What kind of hand speed do you guys have..."
"Yeah, I didn't grab it either. When can we increase production capacity?"
Chapter 611
Just when a group of people online complained.
Worldwide and Umbrella also made joint announcements.
Considering the production capacity of subsequent equipment, Umbrella and World Corporation will set up a joint venture to be responsible for OEM matters.
As for the OEM, you don’t need to think too much, you can just choose it in China!
In fact, most of the assembly parts of the Umbrella holographic bracelet were originally produced in the country.
How could shipments be fully rolled out to the world without the shipments here?
This can be regarded as a basis for cooperation and familiarity.
Except for the chips provided by Umbrella itself, all others can actually be produced domestically.
Especially as more and more factories begin to use the robot model, and after experiencing the ultra-high efficiency of robots + machinery, it really feels like there will be no going back.
Nowadays, these robots, which cost hundreds of thousands, almost disappear when exposed to light.
In the past, there were not many people who could afford it.
Even if you add the group of people who sell houses and buy robots, it is actually enough.
As a result, a group of ordinary people are now waiting to see who can grab it faster!
……
Hengwan Plaza, Umbrella experience store.
Originally, Hengwan reciprocated the favor, so after taking over the money-making job, he gave away a store in a prime location to open a store, which was equivalent to helping promote Umbrella's products.
But in the beginning, it was mainly based on the situation of "tracker" cars. Sales in many economically underdeveloped areas were still limited. The main purpose was to build a reputation.
However, as Umbrella's various products are being pushed into experience stores, even in Hengwan Plaza in third- and fourth-tier cities, Umbrella experience stores are gradually increasing traffic.
This makes the eldest young master of the Qin family smile from ear to ear every day.
The old man has been working hard for most of his life, but he can't even hold him in his lap!
Look how he will reprimand himself in the future!
In the past, Qin Xiang, the young master who was used to being kneeled and licked by him, was a little embarrassed.
But now, the email sent by Lin Shiqin contains a lot of his words.
Various invitations to play.
Wang Yi was relatively compact some time ago and had little to deal with.
On the contrary, it made the young master worry about gains and losses...
Now that new products of brain-computer VR equipment have appeared, he naturally has to sit in person throughout the process and direct the robots to maintain order.
"Uncle Guo, if you are not Xiao Qin, I won't help. If you want one or two for personal use, I will help you find a way without saying anything. But you want too much. I really can't accommodate this. Please add more money." ? It’s not even possible to add more money. One or two units are all for your own sake. It doesn’t matter if I help you pay for it. You know, I’m just a sales agent..."
Before the door opened in the morning, there was already a crowd of people outside.
But Qin Xiang answered the phone in the store with a wry smile on his face.
This is not the first similar call in recent times. Too many relationships have come up in a roundabout way.
But neither he nor his old man stepped on this very hard.
After finally holding on to the thigh, they must not act recklessly on their own.
From the beginning of the ‘tracker’, we have clearly requested that no price increases, no scalpers, and normal procedures be followed.
With Umbrella's own personal binding mode, she also suppressed scalpers quite well.
But even so, as the robot model becomes more and more easy to use, the efficiency surpasses that of skilled workers, and the advantages of working around the clock without changing shifts are gradually revealed.
The cheapest robot that originally cost 700,000 yuan suddenly became a hot commodity.
There are gods from all walks of life who want to come to Qin Xiang and use the back door.
But they were all forcefully rejected by him.
It’s useless no matter how much money you add!
face?
Who has more face than Professor Wang? Bigger than Umbrella?
Anyway, if there are one or two personal situations, they will find a way, but if there are more, it will be impossible.
Precisely because of their strict control, the current domestic sales of ‘Sweeper’ still appear to be very fair and just.
It is truly hard to find a machine.
It's obviously a robot costing at least 700,000 yuan, and it looks like a mobile phone!
Qin Xiang also knows from Qin Xiang’s channels that many factories are now recruiting ‘robot administrators’.
If you have no other needs, just grab the qualification to purchase the robot. The money will be advanced by the manufacturer, and a cooperation agreement will be signed. The factory will use it for at least three years and have priority to renew the lease. In addition to not having to pay back the cost of the robot, you will also have to pay every month. You can receive a subsidy!
Because there are more and more orders for various extension products brought by Umbrella, the demand is getting bigger and bigger. Therefore, after the manufacturers began to innovate, the price of this subsidy has also been rising steadily, and has now generally reached 1,800. The level, those in urgent need will be raised to more than 2,200.
After all, compared to the three-year cost of 700,000 yuan for the robot, the price of this subsidy is nothing. Most of the money is spent on buying robots.
Now after Umbrella and World Corporation jointly announced the OEM plan, the price has been raised again to 3,000 per month!
In other words, for now, as long as you can grab the purchase quota for Umbrella robots, you can stay at home without doing anything, and the factory will subsidize you 3,000 yuan.
When the robot breaks down, you just need to cooperate with the manufacturer to go through the after-sales maintenance process.
In the past, a group of people posted a lottery for Umbrella tester spots online.
Now it has become a lottery for robot purchase qualifications.
Anyway, in the online pre-sale, whoever grabs the quota will have a 24-hour payment window, which is enough to contact the manufacturer, and many banks have also launched related loan services. As long as there is a purchase quota, it will be approved almost instantly.
"Sure enough, technology is the primary productive force."
Qin Xiang hung up the phone and looked at the darkness at the door of the store, feeling a burst of emotion on his face.
His family is a very traditional businessman, building various commercial centers in commercial areas and real estate!
The old man is also very capable, and he has worked hard to achieve such a huge family business.
However...
After facing a real technical crushing, he just hugged his thigh and took off directly on the rocket. It really made people feel like they were living in a dream.
He has been playing "Star World" and is currently the president of a T0-level chamber of commerce in the game. He is also looking forward to brain-computer VR equipment.
In his opinion, this is probably another thing that will truly change people's living habits!
"The emergence of robots can theoretically liberate productivity. A large number of idle people continue to have new places to go. This will definitely become the next trend..."
After all, Qin Xiang had received an elite education, and his vision was quite good due to his influence since childhood.
Demand for robots, brain-machine VR and a large number of new extended equipment.
This seems to be a big move made by Umbrella himself!
Satellites from mass projectors…
No, it’s from Penglai...
No, it seems that from the very beginning, Umbrella's various seemingly unrelated technologies all began to be combined to form this terrifying scene!
At first, Umbrella just took out a contact lens.
But now it is discovered that their lens technology has been directly applied to many fields such as lasers, photolithography machines, satellite communications, screens, VR equipment, etc., and has begun to connect with each other.
The jigsaw puzzle was completed piece by piece, and the scattered pattern fragments began to gradually reveal their true appearance.
"This, the virtual world is not the arrangement they have prepared, right? But what functions can the virtual world be combined with? Is it just a place for people who have nowhere to go?"
Qin Xiang, who couldn't find the answer after thinking for a long time, couldn't help but shook his head, put away his random thoughts, and prepared for today's reception.
This is considered the first day of official sales of brain-computer VR equipment.
In addition to the ones ordered online, he also specially left some in the physical store, so there was a huge crowd outside.
Just like zombies.
In fact, currently there are only some stand-alone games in brain-computer VR equipment, and "Star World" has not been officially upgraded.
As a result, all the sports cabins worth 200,000 yuan have been sold out, which is really a bit crazy...
Chapter 612 Puzzle
"Haha! Brothers! I got a VR helmet!"
After queuing up all night with a tent, I finally got a buyer of a brain-computer VR helmet. I excitedly posted a photo of myself and the VR helmet on Weibo.
It immediately attracted many envious comments.
“Awesome, wait in line all night!”
"I got up at five o'clock, and then I saw the team and went straight home to sleep."
"Brother, it's cool. Although it's not as popular as a robot, several Internet companies are currently recruiting people with quotas to be testers."
"Is it true? Can you get paid for VR helmets too?"
"It shouldn't last as long as robots, but it can indeed be used in the short term. It should be because Internet companies are developing corresponding applications and there are not enough testing equipment."
"..."
Switch to a platform similar to smartphones. In order to seize traffic and formulate rules, I would like to send them to the whole world for everyone to develop on their own platforms, so as to dominate the market and defeat their opponents.
But the VR platform in front of us requires developers to ask for it everywhere.
This is the difference brought about by technological fault-level suppression!
Nowadays, Umbrella's products are regarded as hot cakes in the eyes of many people.
The holographic bracelet can draw testers and earn a thousand yuan every month while lying down!
The robot is even more exaggerated, it is equivalent to the robot going out to work to support the family.
As a result, this VR helmet can also receive a subsidy now?
This is even more exaggerated than the avalanche of previously popular virtual currencies!
When virtual currency is at its hottest, a graphics card can provide long-term stable income.
However, after the emergence of the Red Queen, the virtual currency market was completely drained.
A zero-sum game market without legal protection is really useless in the face of superconducting chip + quantum computing artificial intelligence.
The market is only that big. Looking at the inflated prices and panic selling, it can drop 99.99% in one day.
Compared with the virtual currency where speculation is serious.
Umbrella's stable income is really delicious.
Especially for a big country, the current per capita income is not high, but it can be bought with grit.
After ‘Bucket Runner’ started his live broadcast of robot delivery, many people followed suit.
Coupled with the gradual introduction of robots in factories, it has almost become a consensus that robots can support the family!
But what is very interesting is that most of those netizens who have bought a robot after selling their houses will choose to run their own business just like the "run away with a bucket".
Either they run takeout services, or robots set up stalls, and there are also robots that open small restaurants that specialize in cooking and providing takeout, and there are also various training robots with unique recipes and various small functions, but the robots will not be allowed to enter the factory.
Because after returning home, the robot can still do housework, cook, and keep everything in order. It can also tell funny jokes and interact with the owner, adding some popularity.
Anyway, I already have money to support my family, so I naturally pursue a better quality of life.
The best thing about factory robots is that manufacturers can help fund them, giving a chance to those who can’t even afford 700,000 yuan to sell their houses.
"Brothers, I have quite a few VR headsets here, but they are not available for use..."
Because of the popularity brought by this party of queuing up to grab a helmet, someone sent a short video link in the reply later.
The content is that a man wearing a factory uniform patted the shelves stacked behind him.
They are all VR headsets!
"Damn it! So many were produced so quickly?"
“It seems like it’s just a short-term salary.”
"Awesome, it was announced not long ago, right?"
"..."
Many people flocked to the linked short video and commented.
The guy in work clothes and a helmet also posted a video to explain
"Hey, you are too underestimated our speed. The core chip is directly provided by Umbrella. We only need to complete other assembly. The VR helmet is so big, in fact, assembly is more convenient than that of a mobile phone. The shell is stamped It’s a big deal if it’s all in one piece.”
After receiving this kind of reply, many people felt relieved.
It seems right!
Now, because brain-computer VR equipment has just been launched, there is a lot of demand.
Just like the original holographic bracelet.
When it is gradually saturated and there is only a need for upgrading, it will be completely different from now.
"But your factory should also start to popularize robot operations, right?"
Someone started asking.
"Oh, that's right. Because I won the lottery, I got a job as a tutor."
The merciless critical attack directly broke the defenses of many people in front of the screen.
"Jealousy changes me beyond recognition!"
"I also want robots to raise me!"
"I regret it. I should have sold my house and bought a robot before it became popular."
"..."
Faced with these words, the person in work clothes who posted the video also laughed, and then uploaded another photo. The factory was filled with neat robots like terracotta warriors and horses.
Unlike previous videos of robots shot in factories, this time these robots are inactive and not on the production line.
For a time, this gave many people a feeling in their hearts, a joy that was about to burst out.
"Could it be that..."
"Could it be..."
"Yes, Umbrella has a robot assembly business and has chosen to do its manufacturing here. The output seems to be okay."
It was originally just a video about buying VR equipment, but now it has fast-forwarded directly to the beginning of mass production of robots and VR equipment in China.
In an instant, it detonated the entire Internet, and even spread to foreign countries.
Big A has never been so strong as it is today, and is red across the board!
After all, this was indeed just a contract, and most of the profits were still in the hands of Umbrella.
But just like Neon begging Umbrella not to move the automobile industry even if it wants to surrender, as long as the factory remains, it can provide a lot of convenience in circulation, tax revenue and jobs.
In turn, the perfect domestic industrial chain and logistics can also make up for Umbrella's biggest production capacity disadvantage.
In the past, we relied on factories in Mexico, Brazil, and other places, but now we are fully using domestic OEM business. This efficiency is by no means the same level!
As there are more and more robots, the efficiency will in turn become higher and higher.
The world is about to enter the age of big machines, almost right around the corner.
Many people who had not drawn a robot were cheering and looking forward to it.
But similarly, some people who look further ahead also feel a little worried.
Umbrella has adopted a delaying approach. The robot is bound to an individual, restricting large-volume purchases, and also utilizing the role of the individual.
But the problem is that as the production capacity becomes higher and higher, sooner or later it will reach the level of one person per person.
Will there still be such a shortage of robot places by then? Will there still be so many employment opportunities?
When this efficiency explodes, even if Umbrella adds production tasks such as VR and creates gaps to consume production capacity, as it slowly fills up, it will still lead to a large amount of production capacity overflow, and it is very likely that there will be a major social structural crisis. question.
The robot is so efficient!
Although the production capacity has been increased, coupled with the fact that carbohydrates can now be synthesized, it can directly ensure that no one will starve to death.
Maintained the lower limit of life.
But where will those who are free go?
If too many people are idle, trouble will occur...
However, there are also people who follow Umbrella's puzzle and gradually see the trends and directions that Umbrella itself actively leads.
Brain-computer VR?
Virtual world?
Or the similar super engineering construction in Penglai?
I just don’t know if this diversion can be successfully introduced...
