Chapter 302 Mecha Monster, Man’s Romance!

So, what is Lin You doing now?

He was making comments in the prevention and control laboratory downstairs.

The Internet was still hotly discussing his sudden end and speaking for the princess, so he decided to respond.

Anyway, there are professional people doing the equipment testing, and what he should have said has already been said upstairs.

Now I'm just watching boredly from the side, feeling like I'm just idle, so I might as well entertain the netizens.

"Why, men can't be mom fans? You are sexist!

Also, I should examine myself three times a day and ask myself: Have you finished your homework? Is your work done? Has your single problem been solved?"

As soon as this news came out, no matter whether netizens believed the previous sentence or not, they were provoked by the latter sentence, and they all followed up with comments:

"Is Night City ready? Have the screws of the mirage been finished? Is the mobile app finished?"

"Aren't you also a single dog? How can you make fun of us?"

"I haven't finished writing, finishing, or solving the problem, so I won't play the game anymore. Goodbye Yunmeng!"

"Then let's stop here! It would be too rude to play any more. I still want to thank you."

…

"Yes." Lin You nodded, "The topic was successfully changed. The players are still as innocent and cute as ever!"

"But, screwing in?"

The innocent and cute players reminded Lin You.

He looked at the group of people not far away who were still testing equipment, and really started thinking about upgrading the equipment.

After all, the game warehouse is about to be built, and the company has already switched to Mirage's 2.0 wireless version, but the earliest generation wired version is still on the market.

I always feel that his speed is much faster than the market.

——Based on time, the first generation has only been on the market for 3 months.

Others are worried that the latest generation of equipment will not be available, but he is worried that the new equipment will be developed too quickly...

If he is a pure capitalist, he should keep selling the first generation until he can no longer sell it, and take all the profits he can.

After that, they put on the attitude of working hard to develop new technologies, launched the second generation, and cut another round of leeks.

But Lin You is not that kind of person. He took off so fast that when he succeeded, the process of alienation into a capital animal had not even begun.

Now he doesn't look like a successful capitalist at all, but more like an ordinary person.

He possesses the emotions and desires of ordinary people, his simple values ​​of good and evil, his laziness that always wants to take advantage of others, and his small-mindedness that will retaliate for every injustice.

But the difference is: he has huge influence with tens of millions of fans, and a terrifying net worth of hundreds of billions that can be mobilized at any time.

This means that in his early twenties, in another way, he reached the state of "doing what one wants without going beyond the rules" that Confucius once said was the ideal for ordinary people to reach at the age of seventy.

Although what the sage Confucius described is that people have reached the state of cultivation, Lin You has no state of cultivation, it is purely about money and status.

——As long as he is responsible for "doing what he wants", others will help him to behave "without violating the rules"...

But all roads lead to Rome, and the result is the same anyway.

This is the case at this time. He follows his own heart and does not want to be classified into the camp of "capitalists who cut players' leeks" - although this is only his own classification.

"Although I accidentally became the richest man in the Xia Dynasty, class classification cannot only depend on deposits, but also on ideological consciousness!"

"You must have a high level of ideological consciousness, otherwise you will be hung up on the street sooner or later."

Therefore, Lin You, who is very "ideologically aware", decided to launch the new equipment in advance.

In this way, the price of old equipment can be reduced with confidence!

The experience of careful budgeting in his previous life made him very clear: every 500 yuan reduction in the consumption of such large electronic products will have an extremely obvious promotional effect and activate a large group of potential buying groups.

And Lin You’s plan is to directly reduce the price significantly by 1,000 yuan!

A one-tenth price reduction, wouldn’t this strongly stimulate a wave of consumption?

I repeat again: Sales volume is not the most important, the number of players is the most important!

If a tenth of the price reduction can bring in one-tenth of the new players, it will be a huge profit for Lin You!

With his mind set, he immediately began to think about when and how to launch the 2.0 wireless version.

The wireless version at this time only has one more wireless function than the first generation, so Lin You plans to keep the original price without increasing it at all.

Within three months, Moore's Law had no time to take effect, and upstream components such as chips, memory, storage, and batteries were not even ready to be upgraded.

But then again, when they upgrade, Mirage can naturally upgrade to version 3.0...

Looking at it this way, even if there is no technological innovation in the future, this money can be earned for a lifetime...

As for the emergence of more powerful technologies in the future to replace virtual reality technology?

Sorry, Lin You must have had enough life by then, so he could do as he pleased.

While Lin You was looking at his cell phone and wandering away, He Peng came over.

He Peng was quite excited when he came, but after listening to Lin You explain the effects of this thing, he quickly became less interested.

"The intensity of this thing is very low, which means that the muscle activity of people who have not exercised for a long time will not be reduced, and the improvement effect can basically be ignored."

This basically means that this thing has no large-scale application scenarios in the military.

How can there be an army that has not exercised for a long time?

Even if you were to be a cook, it would still take eight people to cook for three to five hundred people.

The amount of exercise is not much less than training...

At this time, he came over and asked in a low voice with a sense of mystery: "Mr. Lin, I see you opened a prosthetic company and provided great help to disabled veterans. Our people here are now

Anyone who talks about you always gives a thumbs up!"

"?" Lin You looked at him puzzled.

Can't this kind of thing be said openly? Does it need to be so secretive?

"I heard that the Veterans Service Department is studying a matching subsidy policy and plans to launch it at the same time when you launch prosthetics suitable for physical disabilities."

In fact, people from relevant departments have already visited Journey Prosthetics Company, and Lin You has also received a report. He is still wondering why there is no follow-up.

Only now do I know that after grasping the approximate progress, I planned to launch it simultaneously.

"That's a good thing." Lin You nodded in praise.

Seeing that He Peng was still standing here looking at him, Lin You came to his senses and asked, "Is there something that needs my help?"

He Peng nodded and finally no longer hesitated: "Since you can develop a virtual world and a brain-controlled prosthetic limb, can consciousness exchange be achieved?"

"???" Lin You wrote the question mark directly on his face this time, "What do you want to do?"

Before He Peng could explain, Lin You declared his position first: "Let me say it first, I will not participate in research that deeply involves ethical issues!"

Mainly, this topic is too serious, and even a bit scary when you think about it deeply.

"It's not involved, it's not involved! Where did you go?" He Peng quickly denied.

"It's just that we want to use neural modems to establish a silent communication method that does not require language or movement, just like the legendary "telepathy." But we are completely stuck, so I want to ask you if there is any way

?”

It's not that there is no progress at all. With the help of the virtual input method, it is still possible to "type and send messages" with your mind, but it is too inconvenient.

"This..." Lin You hesitated a little, whether to answer yes or no.

Actually, this is not a single problem.

Previously [Journey Project] funded special education schools for the deaf-blind and mute. When the short film was aired, many netizens asked: "Why not also support students with speech impairments?"

Of course Lin You wanted to, but with the technology he had at his disposal, the technical difficulty of making a mute speak was completely different from making a blind person see or a deaf person hear.

Moreover, this technical difficulty is actually very similar to the "silent communication method" mentioned by He Peng.

The main thing is to distinguish the neural signals of "thinking" and "speaking".

This is actually quite complicated.

Although the divisions of the brain that control "thinking" and "language" functions are not together at all, unfortunately, the headband collects neural signals that escape to the outside of the brain and cannot accurately detect the divisions inside the brain.

The content of the instruction set obtained by Lin You has a very clear "language" neural signal translation part.

However, it is not known whether the neural signals of "thinking" have not been deciphered by research, or because of some ethical considerations, in order to leave a private space for thinking for device users, the command set is not involved at all.

And looking at He Peng's word "telepathy", do you still want to share what you see and think about?

Isn’t this outrageous, brother?!

How can I play telepathy with you if you have this technology?

I just started playing "Pacific Rim"!
