As a mage, I just want to pursue the truth

Chapter 261 Consensus

It's really uncomfortable to die, and I still die in front of the entire Blue Star people.

Lawrence hadn't made any mental assumptions at all.

Herman thought it was a good thing.

Even today, people are more aware of the value of consensus.

To sum up the history of human speculation, to put it bluntly, it is the word consensus.

Transactions only flow when someone realizes that things have value.

Currency is debt and consensus.

In the history of the tulip incident in the Netherlands, everyone was hyping tulips crazily, because everyone agreed that this thing was valuable.

The current virtual currency is the same reason.

Including monkey tickets in the history of Huaguo, the so-called significance is just to strengthen the consensus in people's hearts.

Only when there is a consensus will someone pay the bill. If only the dealer recognizes the value of the hyped thing, where can I find a catcher?
The phenomenon of big A is the most obvious. If you don’t pull a few boards violently, let the leeks have the illusion that this company is the leader, how can you attract the leeks to harvest?
The so-called leading or monster stocks of big A are all to create a false consensus that they will always rise.

The same is true for being an Internet celebrity, black and red is also red, because black and red has also created a consensus in the hearts of a large number of people, as long as it is a consensus, it is valuable.

Besides, public opinion is easy to manipulate, like tfboy who was ridiculed by the whole network back then, does anyone still laugh at them now?
As a little transparency on Tik Tok, Heman is very clear about such a clear and clear truth.

Of course, four-figure fans are not too small and transparent. There are many people in the University of Manchester who follow Herman.

Maybe he can't express it in words, but in his subconscious mind, he has fully realized the value of Lawrence's global popularity this time.

As Lawrence's best friend, he could have a piece of it all.

Lawrence shook his head and said, "I hope to be known to the public because of my wisdom, not because I was a background board in front of magical events."

"And I'm not very keen on being an Internet celebrity. This kind of enthusiasm can last up to a month."

Lawrence knew very well that he was socially afraid in front of outsiders, and he was not good at speaking, so he was not suitable for this bowl of rice at all.

As people grow up, they will have a clearer and clearer understanding of themselves.

When I was young, I dreamed of being a scientist, an astronaut, etc. When I was a little older, I hoped to be admitted to Tsinghua University and Peking University.

As you grow up, some doors are closed to you due to objective reasons, and some doors are actively closed by your cognition of yourself.

The door here refers to choice. As people grow up and have a clear understanding of themselves, the choices become less and less.

Lawrence's self-perception is that it is best for him to take the scientific research route in the future. If he does not have this talent, it is not bad to be a technician.

Herman stood up and waved his arms, the fat on his arms trembled, "Of course I know you don't have a camera sense, and you don't have much desire to express yourself."

"I can be responsible for thinking about what to shoot for each video. My years of experience in watching videos and using Douyin can just come in handy."

"In addition, it's not that you don't have the desire to express yourself, it's just that your desire to express is intellectual, and you also hope to be recognized by others."

"We can definitely make a video to show this aspect of you."

"The attention you are receiving now is just a means for us to attract followers, and the popularity of this wave of traffic can only last for a while."

"I am also very clear about this. We need to rely on the audience attracted by this wave of enthusiasm to let them be attracted by our follow-up content."

"Just like a restaurant after Tik Tok became popular, it can finally attract users to buy repeatedly. After all, it still depends on the taste and service."

Lawrence was the one who attracted the most attention in this magic event in London.

At that time, there were only three people on the stage of the Science and Technology Future Conference.

Song Zhiwen, Lawrence and his fighting opponent.

Song Zhiwen, as a native of China, and also an executive of Kechuang Future, the foreign media will not give him too many pictures.

It would be nice to be able to mention a few words. The foreign media try to weaken his existence as much as possible.

As for Lawrence's opponent, he didn't even dare to take off his VR headset, missing the opportunity to show his face in front of a global audience.

Coupled with Lawrence's thin appearance, pale face and black-rimmed glasses, he is somewhat similar to the prototype in Harry Potter.

The superposition of multiple factors caused Lawrence to get the biggest traffic bonus.

Of course, in Lawrence's view, this is not a bonus.

Lawrence shook his head: "Forget it, I'm not ready to live under the attention of so many people."

"Even if I want to be recognized, I don't want to be recognized by so many people."

"How should I put it, I'm not ready for such a change in my heart."

Lawrence's tone was very firm: "Don't persuade me any more."

"But as a friend, I can help you make a short video on your Tik Tok to help you increase the number of followers."

"As for whether you can keep them, it depends on your own ability."

Herman sighed: "Well, I respect your choice."

"It's just that I feel like I missed a rare opportunity, but it's okay."

"In addition, Kechuangbiology promises to give you a latest brain-computer connection VR for free."

"At present, the brain-computer connection VR has arrived. I just tried it, and it is very good."

"The new brain-computer connection technology has already been able to realize most of the movements in reality."

"This leads to a qualitative leap in the realism of RPG games."

All the audience at the scene got vouchers worth about 1000rmb, and the two audiences on the stage got a futureverse2.

All spectators who were present at the time were reimbursed by Kechuang Future for their injuries.

It was only then that Lawrence noticed that there was an unpacked brain-computer connected VR on the table next to him.

"Oh." He seemed rather disappointed.

Lawrence was thinking about the water elemental rushing towards him at that time, and the smell of water in the air was still echoing in his mind.

"Who do you think is responsible for this magical incident in London?
Merlin?or who? "

Herman shook his head and said, "I don't know, but I can show you a video."

The video is the video released by Charles on FB at that time, which consists of several sections.

Herman said: "These few videos have been circulating in private recently."

That is, after the magic event in London, Charles's previous posts on FB were dug out by interested people and spread widely.

After watching it, Lawrence asked in confusion, "Special effects? Or magic?"

Herman replied, "I don't know if it's a special effect or what."

"At that time, someone posted on FB, saying that he had gained knowledge about magic, and after a while he really succeeded in casting the spell."

"I can't find the replies from netizens under the FB post, and I can't tell whether it is a special effect or not."

"But I believe it's true."

"Because the post was blocked, and now the online blocking of this video is quite serious."

"If you directly send this video to others, they won't be able to see it on their communication software."

"You need to compress the video, rename it and send it to the other party."

"This level of interception can only be achieved by the English government."

"Judging from this behavior alone, I think the authenticity of the video has been greatly improved."

In many cases, the more you block, the higher the degree of authenticity.

Lawrence felt too much doubt: "What's the magic this time?"

"Recently, the difficulty of obtaining magic coin has decreased?"

It has been five years since the magic coin system was launched, and with the passage of time, people have a clear understanding of the difficulty of obtaining magic coin.

The vast majority of people no longer have this dream, and even the big manufacturers have given up their investment in this field.

First of all they don't know what to expect, the inputs and outputs are completely unknown.

I don't know how much to invest in order to get the corresponding return.

Furthermore, you have too many competitors, this is a zero-sum game.

Even the giants are like this, let alone ordinary people.

Herman shook his head and said:
"Your question has surpassed my source of information, which may only be clear to the government."

"But what I'm sure is that something is wrong with London recently, and all flights in London have been grounded."

"Flights from London to Newcastle have been grounded."

"However, the attention of the whole of England has been on life-prolonging drugs recently. Apart from the affected flight passengers, not many people care about the London airport shutdown."

"I smell a different smell from it. You have to know that the last time all flights in London were grounded dates back to December 2020."

Lawrence seemed to suspect that he had heard it wrong: "Life-prolonging potion? What is that?"

He wondered if he had fainted for ten years, or else the life-prolonging potion would have come out.

Heman patted his head, "I forgot to tell you that recently, the big pharmaceutical companies in Europa and the pharmaceutical companies in Huaguo jointly developed a life-extending drug, which is said to prolong life by one to two years."

"It's also the most heated topic of discussion around the world."

The media have expressed that by 2050, with the development of science and technology, the global average life expectancy will exceed 100 years.

Life-extending potions have also brightened the media.

Lawrence: "It seems that too many things happened during the day when I passed out. Back to the topic just now, what is the official statement about the suspension of London airport?"

Herman said: "The official line is, of course, that this press event involved superpower owners."

"London Airport needs to cease operations until the killer is found."

At this time, in the ward above Lawrence, Song Zhiwen had already processed several documents and held several rounds of teleconferences with Gusu.

The shareholders of Kechuang Future include several leading Internet companies in Huaguo and Kechuang Biology.

It has dual headquarters, one in Pengcheng and one in Gusu.

The headquarters of Pengcheng is mainly responsible for the production and manufacture of brain-computer connection VR.

The supply chain in the consumer electronics field in the Pearl River Delta is much stronger than that in Gusu.

Other departments are placed in Gusu.

When Song Zhiwen was in Huaguo, he ran between Gusu and Pengcheng.

Earn a lot but work intensity is also high.

It's hard to lie flat in a fast-growing company.

Domestic Internet companies, such as Sohu, have basically stagnated in their business development. The current source of most of their profits depends on the game Tianlongbabu more than ten years ago, and the employees in it can lie flat.

Of course, it also depends on the integrity of the company boss.

Even though Li Miaomiao gave Song Zhiwen a vacation on behalf of the company, he still couldn't take a moment off.

"Mr. Song, at present, the company's opinion is to suspend the marketing in the Europa region first, and currently focus on the tap water of niche forums."

"In addition, the goose factory has already communicated that the next final of "The Last Heroes" will be held in Europa."

"The End of Heroes" has become a phenomenal survival game in the field of VR games.

For the first time, the number of viewers of the World Championship surpassed that of League of Legends.

"Following this launch, the launch event facing the Americas that was planned to take place in Rio de Janeiro is now cancelled."

"At present, the sales of the second-generation brain-computer connection VR in the Greater China region have exceeded 200 million, and the growth rate has slowed down, and the shipment is still maintained at a high level."

"Offline flagship stores across the country have already spread throughout the core business districts of all second-tier cities, and whether to expand to third-tier cities is still under internal deliberation."

"In addition, Mr. Song, during your vacation, Mr. Miao Miao will be responsible for part of your work, and the other part will be assigned to Mr. Rui."

Li Rui is the vice president in charge of the supply chain. Because he has the same surname as Li Miaomiao, he is called Mr. Rui in the company.

After listening to his subordinate's work plan report, Song Zhiwen made a simple arrangement, and then he knew that he could take a good rest in the past two months.

Because his job responsibilities were divided among other executives.

At least during his time off.

For those who are used to being busy, being idle will make him uncomfortable.

Song Zhiwen planned to take advantage of the rare vacation, or paid vacation, to travel in the Europa continent after he got better.

The reason why the paper on life-prolonging medicine chooses The Lancet instead of other journals with the same reputation is because of the four major general medical journals, two belong to American and two belong to England.

Lancet, English Journal of Medicine, Journal of the American Medical Association, and New England Journal of Medicine.

The latter two are academic journals from American, and the first two are academic journals from England. Yes, the New England Journal of Medicine was founded by Dr. American.

To make academic journals more influential, it depends on the quality of papers.

The Europa League will never give up to American for a paper on life-prolonging medicine that has attracted the attention of academic circles all over the world.

Influence is also part of national power.

Huaguo still has a long way to go in the field of academic journals, and there is huge room for development.

"Principles, experimental data and clinical manifestations of life-prolonging medicines"

After the release of the paper, it quickly aroused heated discussions in the academic circles, and everyone was discussing the divergent scenarios and applications of the principles mentioned in it.

In particular, American's pharmaceutical giants paid special attention to the paper.

It is only among colleagues that they can best realize the specific value of life-prolonging medicine.
