As a mage, I just want to pursue the truth

Chapter 324 Four years later

"Hello, everyone, I am very excited now. Behind me is the rocket launch base that took five years to build at Huaguo Laurel Base.

It is also the second rocket launch base built by the Blue Stars in outer space, and this is the first day that the Laurel Rocket Launch Base is put into use.

For the first time, two satellites will be launched, a Mars exploration satellite and a relay communication satellite, in preparation for Huaguo's upcoming landing on Mars this year. "

Huaguo's astronaut stood in front of the rocket launch base, and there was no one in front of him, only the drone swarm around him in the mid-air, silently recording all this.

It has been five years since Huaguo first landed on the moon. During these five years, Huaguo has successively launched dozens of moon-to-earth round trips.

Five years later, with the help of dozens of Huaguo astronauts and astronauts from all over the world, Huaguo's lunar launch base was successfully completed.

The launch base mainly focuses on launching satellites in the early stage, and will gradually undertake the manned missions to and from the moon fire in the later stage.

Manned technology must require extreme caution.

Huaguo's first mission to land on Mars still needs to be carried out on Blue Star.

After the drone swarm takes pictures, the video information will be transmitted back to Blue Star.

The drone group shooting is also to shoot 3D surround video, which is convenient for users to watch on VR.

When Hua Guo perfected its moon base, American had completed two round trips between Blue Star and Mars.

Among them, it was successful for the first time, and the astronauts who returned to Blue Star after the first success were unwilling to go for the second time anyway.

The second time was a failure on the way. After reaching the preset orbit above Mars, it was too late to enter Mars, and then it could only perform the return mission.

The third landing on Mars will be launched at about the same time as Huaguo, because there is only one time window for landing on Mars.

In 2031, Li Miaomiao is already 30 years old. In order to celebrate her 30th birthday, she deliberately did not go to work today, but rested at home.

She picked up the latest generation of futureverse at hand, and after entering the VR world, she went for a stroll in Minecraft, and then watched the latest news on the official media channel in Minecraft.

"The second official magic duel competition in London will be held tomorrow, and it is reported that more than ten thousand people have signed up for this magic fight.

After a quick and cruel screening, 1024 contestants entered the official stage. The entire official stage will be broadcast live on our VR sports channel. Welcome to watch. "

"The fourth-generation industrial full-scenario solution created by Huawei has been launched to the market not long ago, and the current market response is strong. The smart manufacturing giants led by Baosteel are likely to start the next round of technological iteration."

"The [-]nd Global Mech Fighting Conference jointly organized by Kechuang Biology and Goose Factory will rekindle the flames of war this month, and robots from dozens of well-known companies around the world will show their skills on this stage.

Whether Tesla, which was defeated in the final stage last year, will make a comeback, whether Sany Heavy Industry can successfully defend its title this year, and what kind of dark horse will suddenly rise, all the suspense will be revealed in these two months. "

The Mech Fighting Conference created by Goose Factory and Kechuang Biology is only held for two months throughout the year, with ten months of preparation.

A total of 32 companies from all over the world gathered together, and everyone concentrated on winning or losing in these two months.

Because it involves many rounds of competition, there are high requirements for the damage resistance of the mecha.

Under VR, the density of news is very high, and the official VR media also broadcast news one by one in turn.

Like the Toutiao app under Byte, when you are in it, all the information flows around you, and it sounds at the same time.

Then you're staring at a news item, and it's highlighted.

Information is becoming increasingly fragmented.

On the contrary, the game industry, benefiting from the pandemic of VR, has gradually begun to return to basics.

The masterpieces that focus on plot and gameplay are gradually becoming popular, while fast food games and krypton-oriented games are gradually losing the market.

After all, VR games can't be played at a glance with shoddy graphics.

Players with poor quality don’t know how to krypton gold, which makes developers unwilling to continue investing in optimization. This is a vicious circle.

However, even for 3A masterpieces, various in-app purchases will become popular in 2031.

Like in-app purchase skins, this kind of setting that does not affect the fairness of the game has become a normal operation.

"According to internal information, Kechuangbiology will release the FutureVerse equipped with the latest generation of brain-computer connection technology at the new product launch conference in September this year. It has been three years since the last revolutionary breakthrough in brain-computer connection technology.

In the past three years, Kechuang Future’s brain-computer connection VR and other brands’ products have no gap in brain-computer connection technology. Will the new products of Kechuang Future’s autumn conference this year bring new breakthroughs to consumers.”

Li Miaomiao turned off the news, and then changed the outfits on her body many times until she stopped when she was satisfied.

This is good in the virtual world, changing clothes only needs a thought.

Basically, the virtual city built by every company will have a built-in cross-dressing function.

In the virtual city of Douyin, random dressing is even one of the biggest selling points.

Li Miaomiao chose the one she was satisfied with, and then walked directly from her room into the conference room.

Compared with four years ago, many things have changed, but many things have not changed.

Telecommuting has gradually become a trend in private enterprises and foreign companies, and the rents of most office buildings have been falling repeatedly.

Globally, remote home office has become the mainstream. Except for the manufacturing industry, most enterprises no longer need a fixed office location.

Smart capital has already sold off the office buildings in their hands. The office buildings have lost their value, and they have not been tied up with resources such as medical care and education.

The demand is gone, and there is nothing to force the bottom line. Both asset prices and rents of office buildings have entered a downward channel.

In Huaguo, only state-owned enterprises still work in office buildings.

What this brings along with it is a new round of matching process between housing prices and their residential property values.

A very important point in the added value of housing is commuting time. Now many young people no longer consider commuting time.

In this era, even Lianjia’s house inspections are conducted in VR, directly entering Lianjia’s VR world, and the intermediary enters the specific number to take a tour of the house.

For the local government, it is also bad news. The original so-called new district was built, and then people from the old city were driven to the new district by binding job opportunities.

Then the game of selling residential land in the new district can no longer be played.

Enterprises do not have the need to gather offices. If you build a new district, the new district cannot provide enough job opportunities, which means that there is no way to drive people to the new district.

There are no people in the new area, and the residential land cannot be sold at a price.

You must know that the land in the old city has almost been sold, and there is basically no residential land that can be auctioned, and demolition requires costs.

……

"At this meeting, we need to discuss how the next generation of brain-computer connected VR can give consumers a better experience in products.

If it is only the optimization of the chip and the optimization of the display effect, it will not be possible to widen the gap between us and other manufacturers. "

Li Miaomiao paused for a moment and said, "Or just lower your attitude in marketing?"

These four years were commented by the outside world as the four years when Zheng Li disappeared.

Compared with the revolutionary changes in every generation of brain-computer connected VR products in the past, brain-computer connected VR in recent years is like Apple after losing Jobs, with bigger chips, shorter bangs, and better cameras.

Although Kechuangfuture's products still occupy an absolute lead in the VR field, other manufacturers on the market have already caught up.

This is the case for the future of Kechuang, and the same is true for Kechuang Biology. The only new drug that has been on the market in four years is the one that stimulates the re-growth of cardiomyocytes.

In the past four years, the capital market has been talking about whether Kechuang Biotech has lost the R&D capabilities of the past. They are no different from ordinary technology-based companies now.

At its peak, the market value of Kechuang Bio surpassed that of Apple, but now its market value is only half of that of Apple, and it is even declining.

This is only supported by the third-generation brain-computer connection technology, and it is barely able to enjoy this valuation.

At present, the second-generation brain-computer connection technology is paid according to use and sold to major manufacturers.

The third-generation brain-computer connection technology only realizes the feeling of vertigo, converting electrical signals into neural signals.

The gimmick is bigger than the reality.

When it first came out that year, public opinion on various social platforms seemed to have seen the dawn of virtual reality, blowing the scientific and technological creation into the sky.

Three years later, users have been waiting, whether the new products of Kechuangbio can bring them a new generation of experience revolution.

Consumers don't care how difficult the technology is to implement, they only see the product that is finally presented in front of them, and lose the ability to surprise them.

"When I was watching the news just now, I saw media reports saying that our new products this year will have innovations in brain-computer connection technology.

I panicked for a moment because I knew we didn't.

It's just an improvement in chip processing speed and display effect, and most consumers can't perceive this improvement through their senses.

Consumers will buy it. When they buy brain-computer connected VR, they will still recognize the brand of Kechuang. This is brought about by us being at the forefront of technology before.

Whether consumers will still buy it in the future, I don't know.

Consumer trust is limited, we need to come up with countermeasures, everyone can speak freely, and now there is still more than half a year before the autumn conference. "

Li Miaomiao has been in the executive position of Kechuang Biology for ten years, and the general manager alone has been more than five years.

Such a long time is enough for her to establish her own prestige, not to mention the absence of Zheng Li.

Compared with four years ago, Li Miaomiao's appearance has not changed at all, she is still young and beautiful, no different from a girl who just graduated from university.

The only difference is temperament. The temperament cultivated by living in a high position for a long time is not possessed by ordinary people.

After Li Miaomiao finished speaking, the atmosphere was very depressed.

"I don't think we should put on a low-key stance, but a cold one.

This generation of consumers may be dissatisfied, but limited by the inertia of the past, FutureVerse will still get good sales.

As long as we can achieve technological breakthroughs and launch emotional feedback in the next generation of products, consumers' trust in us will come back again.

The iteration of technology itself is very difficult, especially since we are at the forefront of brain-computer connection technology.

Musk's Neuralink is the most cutting-edge enterprise in brain-computer connection technology other than us, but the latest laboratory technology has only reached the level of our first-generation brain-computer connection VR technology.

In the next generation of brain-computer connection technology, it is not easy to find a marketing company to make a breakthrough in our technology, just do marketing. "

The executive with the background of flowers said so.

Li Miaomiao asked: "How can we ensure that the next generation of futureverse can be successfully equipped with a new generation of brain-computer connection technology?"

The executives present wanted to say that it would be absolutely fine to let Zheng Li preside over it.

In the past four years, Zheng Li has been basically invisible in the interior of Kechuangbio, and no one knows what research direction he is leading.

Even for the following research topics, the researchers only got a small part of them.

Even if you look at the leopard in the tube, you can't see it.

The research and development of brain-computer connection technology is now under the full responsibility of Li Wanqing.

But none of the executives here dared to say this. The executives who mentioned this before were marginalized in a short time.
