Chapter 158 The Duke's Toy

According to the introduction of Jiang Xingyan and others, they are going to develop the so-called variety show "Weird People", which is actually more like a haunted house or escape room game, but they will use the variety show mode to add a lot of interesting interactions and competitions elements, enhance fun, and at the same time attract audiences and increase profit points.

In essence, I still want to use the full simulation platform to achieve the effect of creating a real horror atmosphere.

This is another dimensionality reduction blow for physical stores such as haunted houses or escape rooms. Not only are the effects more realistic and diverse, but even actors can be saved.

In terms of customers, there are also incomparable advantages of this kind of physical stores. In real haunted houses or escape rooms, the customers are limited to the surrounding citizens, but in the full simulation platform, people from anywhere in the world can use the game Cang participated.

In fact, their previous cooperation projects have integrated games such as Werewolf Killer and Script Killer into the full simulation platform.

This caused the already sluggish physical stores to collapse and go bankrupt instantly, but it also made these two niche games popular again. According to their estimates, the number of global players has increased by 23 times in a short period of time. ...

The emergence of full virtual reality platforms has destroyed many traditional industries. This is the general trend of history, and there is nothing to be sad about.

Some practitioners who have been destroyed will protest, but it will be completely empty-handed.

At present, the total annual revenue of the full-simulation platform has exceeded 5 trillion pounds, eight times that of No.2 Wal-Mart. This total revenue has exceeded the GDP of most countries, ranking eighth in the world, and The GDP turnover of Tulip Country, the suzerain of Hawke Island, is almost the same...

Of course, this 5 trillion turnover is not all the GDP of Hawke Island, but is scattered among countries in the world, and it also provides a lot of employment and supporting service industries here, forming a huge chain of interests.

It is also because of this that protests are useless, and even the US government cannot completely ban Bluestar Ascension's full-simulation platform.The three agents in the United States alone have revenues exceeding 1000 billion pounds, becoming a pivotal super enterprise in the United States.

Even Wal-Mart, the largest company in terms of revenue in the United States, has benefited from joining the full-simulation platform earlier. Otherwise, given the economic downturn in the United States, it would be impossible for it to keep its second place in global revenue.

According to recent statistics, 31% of households in the United States have purchased their own game warehouses. This penetration rate has almost caught up with the penetration rate of cars. In fact, in many countries around the world, Bluestar Ascension game warehouses have become and Big-ticket items are necessary like cars, and with the addition of game bar customers, 15% of the 70-72-year-olds in the United States often enter the full-simulation platform, and the average game time per week is 24.6 hours...

In Hawke Island, these three data are higher, respectively 48%, 97% and 27.2 hours.

On a global scale, these three data are 17%, 57% and 21.8 hours respectively.

This data does not seem exaggerated, but as an average, it is actually very scary.

After all, most people still have to work and study, and it is impossible to spend too much time in the full simulation platform.

And there are still many poor countries in this world that are lagging behind.

To put it bluntly, the majority of the population in those poor countries have very weak consumption power, and in fact, they have no market value in the first place.

The vast majority of people with spending power around the world are using full-simulation platforms.

They spend an average of more than 20 hours on the full simulation platform, with an average of 3-4 hours per day.

Most people don't actually play the game of Bluestar Ascension, they are more like "shopping". Each person "shopping" for 3-4 hours a day, the consumption power that can be generated is terrifying.

It is no exaggeration to say that the full-simulation platform of Bluestar Ascension has realized the real metaverse. In the real world, almost anything people want to do can be done in the world of Bluestar Ascension. In the real world, many Things that cannot be done can be done in the world of Blue Star Ascension...

The only disappointing thing is that the Bluestar Ascension platform does not engage in color content. Originally, with their technology, it is possible for each player to enjoy the experience of 3000 people in the harem and various peculiar quirks in the game, which cannot be realized in reality. The experience can be done in the game.

Monopolies are just so arrogant that they don't take into account the actual needs of their customers.

Many players hope that competitors will appear as soon as possible, so that Fool Company can lower their arrogant heads and meet the common needs of billions of customers around the world.

……

He Xiao got a general understanding of the project "The Strange People" and did not read their plan carefully, so he initially agreed to consider investing. Of course, whether to invest or not will be determined by his professional investment team after a comprehensive evaluation. He doesn't care about these trivial matters.

Then, Chen Huoqiang and others politely expressed that they wanted to visit the Duke's mansion, and He Xiao agreed.

Just in time for a walk.

He is very satisfied with his current Duke's mansion, after all, it took a long time to "knead" it step by step.It can be said that this is the most beautiful, most comfortable, most pleasant and safest residence in the world.

It faces mountains or cliffs on both sides, and the sea and river on both sides. It not only has the most dangerous terrain, but also has the strictest security measures.

No one can enter without his consent.

Since the mansion is a bit large, in order to let the guests have a better experience, the servants sent the unique means of transportation to the Duke's mansion.

Two fifth-generation adventurer mobile armor, numbered 666 and 667 respectively...

This is a new type of mobile armor from the Hawk Island Adventurer series. It is 16 meters tall, but due to the use of the latest nano-materials, its weight is only about 5 tons. This height-to-weight ratio can be said to be very light up.

It has a large interior space and can seat three people.

He Xiao personally drove the No. 666 mobile armor with two ladies, and a servant drove the No. 667 mobile armor with two other guests.

The light weight of 666 and 667 allows them to have a speed comparable to a sports car, with a maximum speed of 250 yards. They can even take off vertically, and can jump about 5 meters high...

"You don't feel any shaking at all, how do you do that?" Passenger Jiang Xingyan asked in surprise.

"I don't know much about this. It seems to be some kind of suspension cabin technology. The cockpit we are in is suspended, and the direction is always fixed. It will not change with the movement of the mech. Our inertia will also be buffered. , it’s probably similar to the shock absorption technology of a car.” He Xiao said with a smile, “These two mechas are just toys, for testing purposes, and I’ll play with them by the way. To be honest, Blue Star’s gravitational force is too great. Now, their effect will be greatly reduced, if it is on the moon or Mars, they can run faster and jump higher."

"Your toys are still a bit unique..." Jiang Xingyan secretly rolled her eyes and said.

If it was someone else, she might think she was in Versailles, but this one, it should be true...

Such a black technology product worth hundreds of millions of pounds or more is really just a toy to him.

Through the windows on the body of the mecha, they can better watch the scenery of the Duke's mansion from a height of more than ten meters.

It's like a mobile watchtower.

This feeling is really great...

This experience has never happened before.

Ms. Hu Lan, the person in charge of Southern Africa of Youtu.com, was so shocked that her jaw almost dropped. As an American, she had heard that Hawke Island's technological level has improved by leaps and bounds in recent years.

But she never expected that in the Duke's mansion on Hawke Island, even the Duke of Traffic was a black technology product that completely surpassed her imagination...

Mechas, which only appear in science fiction works, have not only become a reality here, but also have outstanding performance...

If these two mechas are put on the battlefield, they cannot be said to be invincible, and they can definitely kill all directions.

Its athletic ability and flexibility are much better than tanks...

It seems that her motherland, the United States, has indeed fallen behind... The only consolation is that the cost of this thing must be very expensive. It is estimated to be tens or hundreds of times more expensive than the most expensive tank, and it may be worth an aircraft carrier. s price……

At this moment, adventurers 666 and 667 came to the edge of Tulip Lake. They tilted their bodies slowly and finally lay on the water surface. However, the people in the cockpit could not feel the bumps at all and just looked outside. The scenery has been flipped 90 degrees.

Stable, very stable, the technical effect of the suspension cabin can be said to be very good, once again amazed Jiang Xingyan and others.

Since Adventurer 666 and 667 are very light and have space inside, the density of the whole body is even much smaller than that of water, so it floats on the water...

Then they turned into two "boats", their limbs became "paddles", and they began to rotate at high speed...

"It can still drive in the water..." Jiang Xingyan and Hu Lan were dumbfounded again.

What kind of black technology is this...

"Actually, this is not difficult to achieve, it's just a matter of cost. If new nanomaterials are used to make cars, cars can also do it, but the cost will be much higher, or the weight will increase a lot. A new type of nanomaterial is used, and the density is relatively small, so such a function is designed.” He Xiao said.

He Xiao was talking and operating, suddenly, Jiang Xingyan and Hu Lan felt the "ship" sinking...

"Danger! Danger! It's sinking!!" they shouted hastily.

"It's okay, my boat is famous for being fast and sinking fast!" He Xiao said with a smile.

"..." Jiang Xingyan and Hu Lan were speechless, but seeing the other party's calm reaction, they probably knew what was going on, but they were still flustered.

"Don't be nervous, this type of mecha has the function of diving. It can absorb lake water or sea water, increase its density to almost the same density as the water body, and then dive into the bottom of the water and travel in the water. Don't worry, there is oxygen supply in the suspension cabin System, you will not suffocate." He Xiao didn't want to scare them.

Although he knows that they are not ordinary women, they are all people who have seen big scenes, so they are not so easily scared.

Soon, Jiang Xingyan and Hu Lan saw that the lake was completely submerged outside the window!

The mech roamed slowly on the bottom of the water, and the tropical freshwater fish outside the window were clearly visible, as well as many unknown algae and other aquatic plants, flying like ribbons, which was too beautiful to behold.

But Jiang Xingyan and Hu Lan didn't have any intention of admiring it, they only felt shocked...

The toys in the mansion of the Duke of Hawke Island have all reached this level. How unrealistic are their real high-tech weapons...

In fact, in some previous conflicts, Hawke Island used some mechs to participate in actual combat, but no one has directly disclosed the clear pictures of the scene, only some blurry photos have been released, and it cannot be seen how strong the combat effectiveness is.

But now it seems that they are definitely big killers on the battlefield. With their amphibious and powerful maneuverability, they can play a decisive role in many battlefields.

"It's convenient to ask, how much is such a mech worth?" Hu Lan hesitated and asked.

"Do you want to inquire about military secrets?" He Xiao said with a smile.

"No, no, I'm just curious." Hu Lan realized that she had made a slip of the tongue.

"Haha, I'm just joking. As I said earlier, these two mechas are actually toys and will not be used in the military." He Xiao said, "Of course, they will not be sold, so there will be no specific information about them." The price, if you are talking about the cost, should be around 3 million, but the biggest problem is that it is too expensive and cannot be mass-produced, so there is no way to replace conventional weapons such as tanks." He Xiao said.

He didn't say that this is just the current situation, and the future is not certain, nor did he say that on the moon and Mars, where the gravity is smaller, the mecha is definitely the bully.

"About 3 million..."

Jiang Xingyan was speechless. Sure enough, it was something she couldn't afford. Although her personal assets had already exceeded this figure, she couldn't possibly sell all her assets to buy a mecha.

What's more, if the cost is 3 million, you can get at least 5 million before people are willing to sell it. This kind of key technology may be even more expensive.

So these two mechas, I am afraid that only Duke Hawke in the world can afford them...

It's really Duke Hawk's exclusive toy.

At this time, adventurer 666 drained the water from his body and surfaced.

Just when Jiang Xingyan and others thought it was going to swim to the shore and get up, its metal limbs suddenly began to deform, turning into four propellers...

As the propeller started to turn, it actually flew directly from the lake...

Good guy, it is not amphibious, but amphibious!
Jiang Xingyan and Hu Lan are already numb...

However, the adventurer No. 667 on the side did not have the same operation. It actually does not have such a function. Only No. 666 has such a function, because it was requested by Duke Hawke himself...

He Xiao has no other purpose, just to play. Since it is for play, of course it is as fun as possible.

Anyway, it's short of this money...

An amphibious mecha, there should be nothing cooler than this...

Umbrella recently developed a new type of ultra-light nanomaterial, which is as tough as titanium alloy, making all this possible.

It's a pity that it can't be too high-profile. It would be too ostentatious if it were driven out.

Basically, it can only be played in the Duke's mansion, so most people have never seen it.

Maybe one day I will go to Mars and have a good time...
