The technological competition starts with the integration of space-time memory

Chapter 214: Crazy Money Making
"What, it requires so many resources?"

Li Tang asked Zero to make a plan, which was also to immigrate one million people and build a city on Mars.

As a result, Zero's plan requires a huge amount of resources, which, if calculated in currency, would be 10 trillion dollars.

It seems to be consistent with Mark's total planned budget, but in fact, No. 0 is calculated based on manufacturing costs.

Converted into the purchasing power of the empire, it is at least 20 trillion taels.

Even if we calculate based on 10 trillion dollars, considering the current profitability of the Future Technology Research Institute and all companies under Zehua Capital, it will take at least six to eight years to meet the demand without affecting normal business operations.

But if this plan is implemented, it will be difficult for Li Tang to launch a global strike against the empire at the same time.

If both are carried out simultaneously, the Mars colonization plan may have to be extended to about ten years to complete.

Considering the time limit of 26 years, it seems a bit uneconomical to spend 10 years to promote such a plan.

With this resource, it is better to build the Earth-Moon defense system into an iron wall to ensure that even if the Ansi people from different time and space attack, they can be kept outside the Blue Planet.

What's more, it is not clear how all the similarities merge when two space-time clusters collide.

For example, will the two suns coexist or merge into one?

If so, will the two blue stars merge like this?
If not, do the two exist simultaneously in different orbits, or do the two solar systems coexist across a distance of cosmic space just like the solar system and other galaxies.

In short, there are too many uncertainties to adopt a single defensive approach right now.

If the two blue stars merge into one giant blue star, the two sides will probably have to fight directly on the planet.

If you want to have the best defense, you need to acquire more resources now. Under the current world system, that means making more money!

"It's time to release what I promised Mr. Li."

Li Tang thought for a moment and decided to launch an artificial intelligence application that had already been tested.

Zero's voice suddenly sounded.

"Dean, the Imperial OpenAI company has recently launched a new feature.

As long as the tester gives a text description, ChatGPT4.0 will be able to generate a video that is said to be absolutely consistent with real physics.

For this reason, they gave this new AI a new name, called Sora! "

"Huh?!" Li Tang was stunned.

Is this to force me to compete with it?

The new application he wanted to announce just now was similar to Sora, but it was not just a test function, but a truly complete application.

Li Tang believes that its launch will definitely bring new development to the virtual economy and allow more creative people to gain wealth and income.

"Zero, how big of a gap is there between this Sora and our Dream Shadow?"

Zero said: "We are a million miles away... still far away!"

Wow, Zero's words actually carried a hint of emotion.

This was the first time that Li Tang heard such emotional words after removing its emotional module.

It's enough to see how unhappy Zero is about Sora being compared to the Dream Shadow that it hosted.

Well, Li Tang understood this feeling, it was the feeling of comparing a genius with a mentally retarded person.

Since Sora has already thrown a brick in front of me, it would be a bit unreasonable if I don’t take out this beautiful jade [Dream Shadow].

What's more, launching a large-scale plan to colonize Mars does require greater financial resources!

The most important thing is that it can also gain a wave of global manpower support. Why not do it?

"Zero, prepare for the release of Dream Shadow. The server and network bandwidth must not fall behind. Also, let Sora's bullets fly for a while as a warm-up."

"Yes, Dean."

……

……

Across the ocean, the Silicon Valley of Empire.

When the anti-blue particle activities were gradually falling into a trough due to the continuous strong suppression by the authorities, major news suddenly came out in the field of artificial intelligence.

Shortly after launching ChatGPT4.0, OpenAI made a direct leap forward and launched new AI features.

That is, it can generate a video based on a piece of text, claiming that it is completely consistent with real physics, and it is named Sora in a high-profile manner!

A total of 14 videos were released on the OpenAI official website, all of which were said to be generated by Sora based on a piece of text.

The video was so stunning that the film, television and gaming communities were in an uproar.

Some even claim that artificial intelligence will allow ordinary people to become directors!

Others insist that Sora merely lowers the threshold for film and television, but technology cannot replace creativity!
This wave of Internet enthusiasm finally completely overshadowed the waves of anti-blue particle activities, and Director Duke was rewarded by the big boss.

The Internet in Dragon Country has once again sparked a frenzy, with many netizens tagging several major Internet companies and the Future Science and Technology Research Institute.

Because in the first half of the year, Baidu, Lili, Xunji, Xiaomi, and many others lined up to release their own large-model AI products.

There was once a frenzy that domestic AI has completely surpassed ChatGPT4.0.

Who could have thought that in just two months, a slap in the face would come at the speed of light, and all the big companies are now silent, with no one daring to come out and respond.

Generating videos directly from text requires so much computing power and training time that even if a number of large domestic companies are able to do it, they will not have enough time!
There is no choice but to be an ostrich.

In addition, Empire had previously intervened in the product shipment policies of chip manufacturers such as Innochip, and the computing power reserved by these large manufacturers could not surpass Sora.

Although the country is now comprehensively upgrading its carbon-based chips launched by Datang Semiconductor, the previous investment in silicon-based chip servers cannot be wasted.

At the moment, the computing power of the newly built carbon-based chips had not yet been built, and the computing power of the silicon-based chips could not be reached. Domestic manufacturers had completely given up the idea of ​​catching up with Sora.

At this time, all Chinese people who care about the development of science and technology have focused their attention on the Future Science and Technology Research Institute.

[Shooting the Sun] 20 days after the launch of Rocket No. .

That afternoon, Xu Cheng, CEO of the Future Science and Technology Research Institute, suddenly posted a message on a certain blog: "My AI [Dream Shadow] can make the images you imagine in your mind into a movie! @龙为成东@某米雷风口@《漂浪地球》郭帆@某义兄弟王中军@老问子..."

This blog post tagged a group of famous directors and also provided a link URL.

Originally, due to Xu Cheng's fame, only a few people noticed him.

It just so happened that Long Weichengdong, who was tagged in the post, retweeted this blog post.

“Amazing! This year’s super science fiction blockbuster! Recommended to be screened in theaters @MouDa Films!”

Some netizens clicked on the link out of curiosity.

Then I saw a page that said:

"My dean talked to the AI ​​[Dream Shadow] about the ideas in his mind, and [Dream Shadow] created a complete video. The following is part of the video, please enjoy it!"

Amazing video clips.

The number of comments under each video increased rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

“Ahhh…I don’t know what to say!”

"Same as above."

"Shit, I've lost the ability to even say 'Fuck!'"

“Isn’t this really filmed by a certain crew?”

"I made a preliminary assessment and searched the internet, but did not see any similar images."

"The above poster is wrong. That [Predator] is a pirated copy from The Wandering Earth 2. Identification completed!"

"Stupid, take a closer look. Although they look similar, they are completely different types of UAVs. This one is more advanced!"

"Yes, yes, I actually saw this Predator in the military channel's documentary "Fighting the Ocean"!"

"I know. It is said that this is a new generation of shipborne drone produced by Datang Precision under Li Shen!"

"Haha, I just remembered Professor Rosen's backstab on Lan Li, and I laughed unkindly!"

"Long Wei's Big Mouth is now the spokesperson for future technology products!"

"I feel that Longwei and Future Technology are quite similar to the Empire's software and Tel, which is very nice!"

"I still remember that Master Li Tang said that he wanted Longwei to be far ahead. Now, which smart electronic product can surpass Longwei?"

"The video is so good, have you seen the download link for the video?"

“If you don’t have it downloaded, you can record the screen!”

"I tried, but my smart assistant Niuniu said it couldn't record the screen!"

"I used my phone to shoot the computer screen, but the result was terrible!"

“I used my phone to take photos, but the results weren’t good either!”

“@Xu Cheng, can you give me a download link?”

……

As time went by, there were more and more comments and more and more people watched the video, but the Future Science and Technology Institute did not provide video downloads.

Even screen recording is not allowed!
Some people can only shoot through the screen, so the effect is naturally not good.

Soon, Xu Cheng released a new entrance on that webpage.

This is the user entrance of [Mengying]. Anyone can enter it by simply registering as a user with a mobile phone.

As long as you write a piece of text or dictate a sentence, [Mengying] can generate the corresponding video.

The prerequisite is that you pay the fee, 20 dragon coins per second of video!
A 150-minute movie can be produced with only 18 yuan!

After paying to generate the video, you can choose to publish it on the platform for free sharing, or you can set it to be charged.

The platform limits the charge to 0.002 yuan per second of video. Taking a 150-minute movie as an example, it only costs 18 yuan to watch it permanently.

In addition, video creators can receive additional rewards.

Half of all fees collected by the creator will go to the individual, and the other half will go to the [Mengying] platform!
After some early adopters paid to use it, they immediately discovered the way to make money.

【Mengying】The number of online registered users is growing rapidly at an exponential rate.

One hour, 10+ users!

Two hours, 50+ users!

Three hours, 80+ users!

Five hours, 500 million+ users!

Six hours, 1000 million+ users!

……

One day, 6000 million+ users!

This rate of user growth is unprecedented!

The most important thing is that these are all paying users!

Someone did a simple calculation and found that even if each user only paid to generate a 1-second video, the minimum consumption would be 20 yuan.

The Future Science and Technology Research Institute has a minimum daily revenue of over 12 billion!

This does not include the revenue generated by creators when their videos are viewed after they are posted.

The speed of making money is so terrifying!
Soon, someone posted his own [Mengying] account online, and he had made 100 million in just one day!
By using [Dream Shadow] to generate videos of your own imagination and letting others watch them, you can become rich overnight?
This news spread across the Internet quickly as if it had wings!

As a result, the number of users on the second day increased even more horribly than the day before!

The official Weibo account of the Future Science and Technology Research Institute announced that the number of users exceeded 1 million and 2 million on the second day!
Some people claim that a new Internet sharing platform has been born!
