Galaxy Science and Technology Institute's Biotechnology Institute, the entire institute is very busy, and scientists in white coats are concentrating on their own research projects.
In the blink of an eye, 2023 will pass.
"Haha~ The resolution has finally reached 70%. This virtual technology has been able to convert most of the information into brain waves and can be read directly by the brain."
In a laboratory, Lin Dong said excitedly.
The further this virtual technology develops, the smaller its room for improvement becomes and the harder it is to make progress. It took more than half a year to increase the resolution from 60% to 70%.
This is under the premise that Qin Yi comes to the laboratory every day and has Qin Yi's plug-in. Otherwise, if Lin Dong, Jiang Haohai, and Yin Xiao are allowed to study alone, Qin Yi estimates that it will be impossible every few years.
Improved by 70%.
"At the level of 70%, basically most of the information can now be directly converted into brain waves and read by the brain. It is almost time for this virtual world to be truly promoted to everyone."
On the side, Qin Yi, also wearing a white coat, was thinking about opening up the virtual world.
Since Galaxy Technology Group announced virtual technology and held a virtual world conference a few months ago, almost everyone around the world has been discussing this upcoming virtual world.
At the same time, on the official website of Galaxy Technology Group, millions of people leave messages every day, hoping that Galaxy Technology Group will launch a virtual machine as soon as possible. The virtual world is really exciting.
In particular, domestic Internet companies, game companies, etc. have not been idle in the past few months.
On the one hand, they are busy developing software, games, etc. for the virtual world. On the other hand, these enterprises and game companies have very cleverly carried out large-scale publicity and started to occupy a certain field in advance.
For example, a certain website will announce its opening progress almost every day and make some videos to increase its presence.
If you do this, everyone will know that if you enter the virtual world to shop in the future, you should still go to a certain treasure.
It not only promotes itself, but also invisibly discourages those who also want to enter the field of online shopping, letting them know that this piece of cake has been targeted by them, and they should go elsewhere if they know better.
Another example is Xishanju Game Studio, which is one of the top game studios in China and is best at developing martial arts games.
With the popularity of the virtual world, this game studio has also received large sums of money from big investors. While expanding its enrollment crazily, it is also targeting the virtual game market.
With the support of large sums of money, they will release a video of the virtual martial arts game they are creating every day, as well as some settings, sects, game storylines, etc. of the virtual martial arts game to firmly attract domestic game players.
.
Once the virtual world is opened and virtual machines are available, a large number of gamers will naturally enter the virtual games developed by themselves.
The virtual world and virtual games have not yet been officially opened, and they are already being bombarded with various promotions, advertisements, etc., and this is not limited to China.
Because we know that the virtual world is global, the promotions of these domestic Internet companies and game companies are global promotions, and they are thrown at them without any money.
From the skyscraper monitors on the Shanghai Bund to Times Square in New York, from Ginza in Tokyo to the streets of London, all kinds of advertisements about virtual worlds and virtual games can be seen everywhere, making the topic of virtual worlds extremely popular.
People all over the world are discussing virtual worlds and virtual games, and they are also looking forward to the early release of virtual machines by Galaxy Technology Group.
The reason why Qin Yi is not in a hurry to launch a virtual machine is, on the one hand, because all aspects of the virtual world are still immature, and we need to give everyone some worlds to develop virtual world software and virtual games.
Another aspect is that the chips used in the virtual machines are produced by ourselves. At that time, the production line was not ready yet, and the output was limited, so there was no way to produce virtual helmets on a large scale.
Slow down for a moment and wait.
Several months have passed now, and many Internet companies and game companies have initially completed the development of virtual software and virtual games.
The production of virtual helmets here has also been able to achieve mass production. The topic of virtual worlds and virtual games has become extremely popular. It is time to release virtual helmets.
Thinking of this, Qin Yi hurriedly left the laboratory and returned to the office of the Galaxy Technology Group's new headquarters building, the Spaceship Building.
That time he went to the Imperial Moon Mining Group to attend the shareholders' meeting of the Moon Mining Group's listing. After Qin Yi came back, he ordered the construction of a new headquarters building for Galaxy Technology Group.
After a year and a half of construction and decoration, the new headquarters building of Galaxy Technology Group was finally officially put into use before the Chinese New Year.
The spaceship building covers a very large area and is several hundred meters high. The overall shape is like a huge spaceship, so it is named the spaceship building.
In addition to the name of the spaceship building, the design concept of this new headquarters building also closely follows the development of the times. It is the first building in the world that can park private anti-gravity aircraft on a large scale, which can be regarded as ushering in a new era.
Architectural trends.
Qin Yi's office is located at the top of the spaceship building. The view is extremely wide, enough to overlook the entire bustling Huangjing Town. Qin Yi will take a look at the surrounding scenery here every day after get off work.
"Inform Wang Zhengyang that Lin Ye should come over to my place."
Qin Yi returned to the office and immediately gave instructions to his secretary Lin Fang.
Then I started thinking about things related to virtual machine sales.
In terms of private anti-gravity aircraft, Qin Yi can give priority to taking care of his own people. He sells it to foreigners for 20 million and sells it to his own people for 2 million. Although it is just a name change, he is also taking care of his own people in disguise.
But this virtual machine is different. It is destined to be popularized by everyone like mobile phones and computers, so in terms of sales, careful thinking is still needed.
Soon, Lin Ye and Wang Zhengyang arrived at Qin Yi's office.
“What is our chip production volume now?”
A few people sat down and chatted while drinking tea.
"Now we can produce almost 1 million chips every month."
"In addition, we have now stockpiled almost 3 million chips. In addition, the production of biosensors, the core of virtual technology, has a monthly output of almost 1 million."
"In terms of assembly, we have also reached an agreement with Foxconn Group. In terms of other parts production, our suppliers have also been selected, and there is no problem in terms of output."
"I think it's almost time for us to sell virtual machines~"
After hearing Qin Yi's words, Wang Zhengyang reported his complicated work.
Virtual Machine expects that Wang Zhengyang will be responsible for all aspects of future virtual world management, and he knows the progress of this area very clearly.
"Then how do you think our virtual machine should be distributed?"
Qin Yi nodded. Now that the conditions are ripe, it is time to issue a virtual machine.
"Domestically, I think we should adopt the method of direct sales through the official website. As for foreign countries, I think it is better for us to find partners and agents."
Regarding virtual machines and virtual world matters, Wang Zhengyang has also discussed many times with his people, and now he has put forward the plan.
"I think it is possible. Our company's products have always been sold this way. Nowadays, more and more companies like to sell directly online, reducing middlemen, maximizing their own interests as much as possible, and at the same time allowing
Consumer Benefits.”
"As for foreign countries, where we are not familiar with the place, it is better to find an agent, which can save a lot of trouble."
Lin Ye nodded to express his support.
"Then the matter is settled like this. The two of you will be responsible for recruiting foreign agents."
"Has the price of the virtual machine been determined?"
Qin Yi nodded, then thought about it and asked about the price of the virtual machine.
"Our domestic selling price is 20,000 Chinese dollars per unit, and the external sales price is also 20,000 Chinese dollars. However, due to agents, the price will definitely increase."
Wang Zhengyang also revealed the pricing.
"Is it too high?"
When Qin Yi heard the quotation, he thought for a while and said, Qin Yi is very clear about the cost of the virtual helmet. The cost of a virtual helmet is only about 2,000 Chinese dollars. If the output is large enough, the cost can be reduced.
This 2,000 yuan thing sells for 20,000 yuan, which is directly multiplied by 10, and the selling price of 20,000 yuan is really very expensive.
"This price was arrived at after careful investigation. The price is very expensive, but it is also in line with the characteristics and image of our products."
"Currently, our output is limited, so the price naturally has to be set higher. After we launch a new range of virtual helmets, we can sell the old ones at a lower price, thus slowly forming a price ladder, dividing the high, middle and low prices."
Consumers of several levels have won it all.”
Wang Zhengyang smiled and explained.
"Besides, we have invested hundreds of billions of dollars in researching virtual technology. If the price is higher, how will we recover the cost? The future investment in scientific research will also be huge."
"In addition, the price of 20,000 yuan was certainly more expensive in the past, but now our country's per capita income is very high. Some people estimate that our per capita GDP will reach 200,000 Chinese yuan this year, which is about 100,000 US dollars.
Enough to rank first in the world.”
"The price of 20,000 yuan is not too expensive~"
ps: If we had 100,000 U.S. dollars per capita, wouldn’t it be terrible? We would sell out all the attacks in the world.
