As a mage, I just want to pursue the truth

Chapter 146 Satisfying Needs Versus Creating Needs

"So far, Kechuang Biotech has firmly followed the road of independent research and development, and its main source of profit is the core endorphin and brain-computer connection.

Taking these two products as an example, let’s not talk about the specific amount of money earned, because this is clearly written in the financial report of Kechuang Bio, but talk about why technological innovation can create wealth.

Technological innovation can create demand, like the Internet wave in these years.

Is a computer a necessity?For people nowadays, there is no doubt that whether it is an individual or a business, computers are indispensable.It is not only a productivity tool, but also a personal entertainment terminal.

The vigorous development of computer technology has created people's demand for computers, and everyone can enjoy it and get the experience they want.

The same is true of the mobile Internet in the past ten years. The advancement of communication technology and the advancement of semiconductors have allowed most of the entertainment functions of computers to be integrated into mobile phones.

Moreover, mobile terminals can achieve more special functions than computers, such as taxi-hailing, mobile payment and other functions unique to mobile phones have been created.

Technological progress brings new demands, and the same is true for science and technology innovation.

Before the mass production of endorphins, morphine-like drugs dominated the analgesics, but now people use endorphins in large quantities, and the more high-end operations, the more endorphins are needed.

If endorphin is a high-end substitute for the original demand, brain-computer connection is a demand completely created by science and technology.

In the past, the brain-computer connection to control the mobile phone only stayed in the media's publicity and the imagination of the public, and many users even doubted the necessity of the brain-computer connection to the mobile phone.

Today, almost all high-end mobile phones of Huaguo and American are equipped with brain-computer connection functions.

Users will automatically have a psychological hint for mobile phones without brain-computer connection function: this mobile phone is not high-end positioning.

This is also a created demand.

Therefore, I personally think that a company that can create demand is a top technology company, and a company that meets demand is a first-class company. If you want to become a giant, you must be able to create demand.

The corporate vision of Kechuangbio is not only to become a giant, which we have already realized. Our longer-term corporate vision is to meet the needs.

This is what Mr. Cheng said during the training after our school recruited. I personally think that we need to create more demand.

Finally, I would like to mention that Kechuang Biology seems to be recruiting schools this spring. If you are interested, you can contact me, and I will recommend it to everyone. "

Since Kechuang Bio is a new company, there have been a lot of school recruits and social recruits in recent years.

Of course, the requirements are also very high, so it is difficult to recruit people.

If the referral is successful, the referrer will have a generous bonus.

This is somewhat similar to the big Internet companies, such as Ahri and Tencent employees, who can get 10,000+ referral bonuses by helping others referrals for more than a year.Even this will be linked to your performance.

"Thank you, Kechuangbio's financial report shows one thing: rich and powerful.

Obviously not short of money, this year there are still brain-computer connected VR and lithium battery revenue waiting to be released.

In fact, there is still a large profit from the brain-computer connection prosthesis. I went to Luckin’s cyberpunk-themed coffee shop last time, and the brain-computer connection robotic arm of Kechuang Biology is really fine.

I think disabled baristas' latte art is as fine as normal people's. It may be a special display of skills. Luckin's ordinary stores do not provide latte art at all.When we arrived at their cyberpunk-themed coffee shop, we had to pay an extra 10 yuan service charge for latte art.

If you want to make money in this area, it is also an income no less than endorphins.However, the executives of Kechuangbiology claim that they will not make money from this technology and will provide it to consumers at the lowest price, so this piece has not been included in the estimated future income.

It can only be said that Zheng Dong is still very structured.

The biggest point this year still depends on the revenue brought by the lithium battery sector. After all, the A-share lithium battery sector has already responded so violently in advance. The last time the lithium battery sector rioted was 21 years ago. "

Most of the responses on Zhihu are optimistic, and Kechuangbio is also optimistic, because they are indeed monopoly products, and in a sense they are also core needs.

"Dong Zheng, we are collecting rare plants from all over the world through various means, and these are the first shipments."

Zheng Li ignored the turmoil from the outside world, and he collected all kinds of plants around the world through the channel of science and technology creation biology.

Since it is not required to contain active plants, even if it is a leaf of a cherished plant, as long as the leaves still maintain cell activity.

So the progress of collection is not slow.

Zheng Li watched the goods being delivered to his laboratory on the seventeenth floor by the staff. During the delivery process, he walked downstairs to the public experiment area to look around.

"Wan Qing, how about the brain-computer connection prosthesis experiment?"

Li Wanqing is very grateful for his choice to come to Kechuang Biotech. The research team he manages has expanded from less than 100 people to more than [-] people now.

If it is now to recruit the R&D supervisor again, it will definitely not be his turn.

This is often the case, even if your conditions are better and the seat is occupied, it is almost impossible for you to push others away.

A radish and a pit.

You can't pull out other radishes.

This is why the academic world is getting more and more complicated now, because there are only those pits, and there are more and more doctorates, and the pits are occupied, and the number of new pits is far less than the number of doctoral expansions.

This is the case in China, and it is the same in Europe and America.Doctors from the Ivy League can only go to schools that are not ranked 200th in the US to do tenure track.The [-] PhDs in the US have to go to schools with [-] students.

Degrees have depreciated faster than currency over the years.

Li Wanqing is grateful and cherishes that he can find such a good position in the industry, so he works very hard, and it is not an exaggeration to describe him as trying his best.

"The effect of hand prosthetics is already very mature. Thanks to the cooperation of eye signal capture, it can basically achieve a recognition accuracy close to 90.00% five, and emergency measures can achieve [-]% recognition accuracy."

The emergency measures here refer to, for example, if you lift an object with a brain-computer connection prosthesis, and then the brain-computer connection generates a wrong recognition signal, mistakenly thinking that you want to let go, and if it is a heavy object, it may hit yourself or others.

The emergency measure is to prevent a similar situation from happening. When the leg muscles are tightened with a certain force, the prosthetic will stop maintaining the current state and hold the thing in the hand.

There are corresponding sensors installed on the legs.

"But the brain signal capture device is still a bit heavy, but the current model of the product can already be brought to the market."

"There are still some problems with the brain-computer connection prosthesis of the lower limbs, but we have found a solution, and there should be no unsolvable difficulties before it is practically implemented." Li Wanqing said in detail.

Since the algorithms and R&D ideas for the upper limb brain-computer connection prosthesis were all specified by Zheng Li at the time, the progress was rapid.

The legs are independently developed by the researchers according to Zheng Li's research ideas for the upper limbs, and the progress is relatively slow.

It is less difficult to connect the brain-computer of the lower limbs to the prosthetic limbs, because the lower limbs have fewer functions and the space complexity is not as high as that of the upper limbs.

Zheng Li nodded: "Okay, after the experimental data report is confirmed, we can start the pre-marketing clinical trial."

Zheng Li plans to license the brain-computer-connected prosthesis externally.

If you do it yourself, you first need to build a series of supporting systems such as production lines, sales systems, and after-sales systems.

There are too many employees, and the current management method of Kechuang Bio cannot manage so many people.

With more people, the difficulty of management increases exponentially.

Especially from Zheng Li's point of view, he didn't intend to make money through brain-computer connection with prosthetics, let alone support so many people.

If you were in the Mage Alliance, not to mention brain-computer connected prosthetics, basically all material needs can be met. The greatest contribution of residents to the alliance is to provide genetic diversity.

Except for the mage, the mage has to bear more responsibilities and obligations.

When Zheng Li plans to sign patent agreements with major biopharmaceutical manufacturers, he stipulates clearly how much they can only make through this, and the profit margin must be controlled.

Although this method has little effect, because the account can be done to reduce the paper profit.

But at least it can play a screening role. For those companies whose prices are too high, it is good to stop cooperation after the patent authorization expires.

Zheng Li nodded and said, "How is your experience using brain-computer connected VR?"

"I tried it, and I feel that the effect is not bad. I compared it with VR products on the market. The advantages of brain-computer connection are too great, and more computing power can be devoted to image optimization."

It is a fact that it is better than other VR products, but the effect is good.

The League of Mages can realize virtual reality technology, and a large number of people rely on virtual reality to spend their boring time.Compared with virtual reality, Bluestar's VR is really far behind.

The gap between the two is even bigger than Apple and PHS.

Li Wanqing said with a smile: "We have to queue up to play the brain-computer connected VR in the public entertainment area every day during the break."

"So everyone is asking the colleagues in the general post if they can ask for a few more from Gusu."

"The only problem is that there are no games specifically optimized for brain-computer connection VR. Now the games in it need to press buttons to run. I feel that watching videos without playing games can also reflect the superiority of brain-computer connection. On the contrary, when playing games, there is no brain-computer connection. presence."

The system jointly developed by Goose Factory and Rice has not yet been launched, but the brain-computer connection of Kechuangbio can use the mainstream VR operating system on the market first, and then make some adjustments to use it first.

Instead of waiting for the self-developed VR system to come out, then conduct adaptive research and development.

Zheng Li: "Let's wait for the adaptation. Goose Factory has already negotiated with Nintendo. The Legend of Zelda will do the adaptation of the brain-computer connection VR version."

"Masterpieces such as "Monster Hunter" and "Assassin's Creed" will be specially developed for the adaptation of brain-computer connection VR."

"At that time, everyone will have more options."

At this time, the advantages of the goose factory are reflected.
