As a mage, I just want to pursue the truth

Chapter 327 Negotiation Results
“From the underlying logic, everything is done through technical means to simulate the real world.

But the difference between them is like the difference between flying planes on Blue Planet and walking on feet.

Both of them have shifted in distance, but the difference is huge.

Bluestar's computer technology is based on silicon chips. From what I have learned about the most cutting-edge technology, it has reached a bottleneck.

This is caused by the underlying logic of the technology, because such sophisticated chips are created with the help of tools.

Therefore, under BlueStar's technology system, technological progress across the entire industry chain is needed to advance the performance of silicon-based chips.

Any shortcoming will lead to stagnation of product performance.

But that’s not the case with biocomputer technology.”

Zheng Li stopped here and refused to say more.

Lei Jun's exploration of the virtual world has come to an end.

He was sure that this was already a very complete virtual world, with very little difference from the real world.

Even with his careful observation, he did not notice any frame drops in the surrounding objects.

Frame drops generally refer to the phenomenon of screen freezes and stagnation caused by the hardware being unable to handle the screen refresh rate (below 60fps) required for the game to run smoothly.

After entering the virtual world, Lei Jun found that his eyesight was better than in the real world.

Such a clear picture with no sign of frame drops shows how powerful the hardware computing power of this device is.

If Blue Star were to use its existing technology to create such a realistic visual effect, a large computer matrix would be required.

The magic civilization did it with just a device slightly larger than a fist. In Lei Jun's opinion, the gap between the two is not a technological gap, but a fundamental gap caused by different technological systems.

And he just took another sneak peek at his clothes.

I found that neither the clothes he was wearing nor the shoes on his feet were the same as what he wore in the outside world.

The hand was indeed his hand.

He also glanced at Academician Zhao beside him. The glasses that Academician Zhao had worn in the real world did not follow him into the virtual world.

Lei Jun speculated that when entering the virtual world, the virtual reality device would scan his body parameters, and then directly use his real-world body parameters in the virtual world.

“So just like Blue Star’s computers, there are civilian computers, and there are other large computers used in professional fields, which we call servers.

The same is true for virtual reality devices. There are virtual worlds specifically for ordinary people, and there will also be virtual worlds for other purposes?" Academician Zhao added.

Zheng Li nodded and said, "Yes, in fact, when updating the magic forum, I want to update a virtual world dedicated to magic fighting for everyone to use.

I just put this idea aside for now.”

Zheng Li originally planned to update the magic forum when the number of mages on Blue Star exceeded three digits.

However, when the number of Blue Star mages exceeded three digits, he was at a critical period of research breakthrough.

There is no time for this.

Lei Jun was a little confused. He didn't know what the magic forum was.

After realizing this, Academician Zhao added: “The magic forum is specially provided for mages to communicate with each other, which is a bit like our BBS forum.

It’s just that the Magic Forum does not require a computer to log in, but can be logged in directly through the brain.”

Lei Jun realized the unscientific nature of this and asked, "Directly? Without the use of any other equipment?"

"Yes, it's like a display panel appears out of thin air in your sight that only you can see."

Even though Lei Jun had enough psychological expectations about the technology of magical civilization, he was still shocked by this.

It is equivalent to embedding a computer into the human brain.

At the same time, during the conversation, Lei Jun discovered that compared with the VR character image, the personal image in the virtual world is no different from the real person in the real world.

Some micro-expressions are very lifelike and not at all as rigid as those in VR.

Even though it has been six years since the first generation of brain-computer VR, there have not been many breakthrough improvements other than brain-computer connection technology.

Lei Jun sighed: "What an amazing technique."

Because he thought that if Xiaomi phones could also achieve similar functions, people would be able to use some basic functions directly through the brain without having to take out the phone. Not to mention high-end brands, he was confident that he could beat even Apple.

Luo Yonghao’s ambition to acquire Apple may actually come true if he has the technology.

Academician Zhao asked: "Zheng Li, since the magic forum used by Mr. Zhao and his team before can directly achieve communication, why do we need a biological communication tree?"

Academician Zhao is mainly engaged in research in the biological field and doesn't know much about communications and the Internet.

Even after entering the information age, he was more interested in understanding how computers process biological experimental data and how to draw graphs.

Zheng Li explained: "The requirements for signal transmission are different. The magic forums you see are just text messages.

However, in the world of virtual reality, this signal cannot carry this level of information transmission intensity relying on previous biological communication facilities.

And before, you only communicated with dozens of people, but virtual reality technology has at least one billion users.

This is only possible with specialized equipment, and biological communication trees are like base stations.”

The three of them talked for a long time about virtual reality technology and some other trivial matters.

Finally, Lei Jun revealed their real intention of coming here: "Our main purpose this time is to communicate about the future promotion of virtual reality technology.

Teacher Zhao and I are representatives of China. We are here to discuss this matter and express our official opinion.

First of all, virtual reality equipment can be sold throughout China, but biological communication trees are temporarily limited to Gusu City.

In other words, the virtual reality devices sold to other parts of China are stand-alone devices.

Only in Suzhou can you find virtual reality devices that can be connected to the Internet.

Because the large-scale deployment of virtual reality will firstly bring about a cost issue, and secondly, the impact on all walks of life in society is currently unaffordable.

There needs to be a buffer period.

This is the only condition we have here.”

China has been very kind to capital in recent years, although there are various rumors in the market that there is no respect for individual property and that the rich have no sense of security.

In fact, compared with Western countries that directly confiscated the property of Russian wealthy people, China is much more generous.

As early as 2014, rumors began to spread, suggesting that these wealthy people who had completed their original accumulation in an unclean way should run away.

Later in 2017, he even publicly encouraged these people to run.

The smarter ones ran away early.

The reason for the buffer time this time is also for similar reasons.

State-owned capital should be given time to maneuver so that they can dispose of assets that have poor performance prospects and replace them with relatively resistant assets.

It is also a time window for the rich to reallocate their assets.

If you miss this window of time, you will miss it for real, and it is inevitable that you will be reaped by the times. This is just like the tightening of China's real estate market. 2019 was the best window to escape the top, but it is still blowing in 2020.

Some real estate companies that don't believe in evil are still buying land at high prices 20 years later. If you don't die, who will?

However, the wealthy people with antennas run very fast, after all, they have much more information than ordinary people.

As for why real estate tycoons are still buying land at high prices 20 years later, on the one hand, they are forced by local governments, and on the other hand, they do not believe that China will let real estate die.

For example, a chief economist hired by a certain company at an annual salary of tens of millions of yuan makes statements in public every day, saying that monetary policy should be relaxed, calling for interest rate cuts and allowing money to flow appropriately into the real estate market.

The reason why a certain company is heavily in debt and spends so much money to hire someone.

It was because his teacher was previously the deputy director of the China Development Research Center, and later a member of the China Monetary Policy Committee, a senior think tank in the field of central finance and economics in China.

A certain person thought that he could indirectly influence China's monetary policy through any means. In fact, it was wishful thinking.

Later, even though China's monetary policy was loose for various reasons, this loose money did not flow into the real estate industry.

Even though the money was just spinning in the financial system, it was not allowed to flow into the real estate industry.

China dares to firmly resist further housing speculation and block the flow and destination of funds in the real estate industry.

But they dare not promote virtual reality equipment in the short term. If the cold winter of the real estate industry is just dynamite, then virtual reality equipment is a nuclear bomb.

Zheng Li said directly: "Okay, no problem, I accept it."

Lei Jun continued to ask: "Can this product be promoted externally after it has been used in China to a certain extent?
That is to give China a certain amount of time difference.

Let’s adapt to VR first and then sell it to other countries?”

Lei Jun was not surprised that Zheng Li agreed so readily.

Because fundamentally, products that are open to all users are different from niche products.

Virtual reality equipment needs to be sold to all users in China, and it is unrealistic for Zheng Li to deliver it alone.

We still need to rely on China's huge and developed logistics system.

And if China does not allow Zheng Li to sell, it would be incredible if Zheng Li could only expand the virtual reality world to a scale of tens of thousands.

It can’t even cover the population of one street in Gusu.

When it comes to working on something like the Magic Brain, which has such a high threshold, Zheng Li doesn't need to consider anyone's opinion.

However, products such as virtual reality devices obviously cannot be promoted without the permission of the Chinese government.

Zheng Li asked back: "How long will it take you?"

Lei Jun replied: "Half a year."

“We only need half a year.”

As for China, they do not want to see virtual reality devices only sold within China.

This kind of impact will not only hit China's capital market, but will also have a bearing on developed countries such as America, Europe, Japan and Korea.

The Europa League is also in a rather miserable situation, with only two economic engines, Germany and France, struggling to support it.

The economic situation in England is very bad. Boris's resignation was not only due to the London magic incident, but was also closely related to England's poor economic situation.

Moreover, if Zheng Li wants to promote virtual reality equipment, he will eventually need someone to do this for him.

Apart from Sinovation Biotech, are there any other companies that can do this for him?

China can collect taxes on the income of scientific and technological innovation companies.

Previously, the taxes paid by Ke Chuang Bio every year were enough to make strong second-tier cities such as Jinling and Jiangcheng salivate, and even Shenhai was a little tempted.

The Chinese central government will inevitably be tempted by the taxes from the subsequent sale of virtual reality equipment.

"Half a year? Sure."

Originally, Zheng Li had planned to take time to negotiate with other countries.

It is a good opportunity to use China as a model to show other countries on the blue planet how virtual reality equipment can help productivity.

Half a year is nothing to a mage, it passes in the blink of an eye.

The negotiation process between the two parties was pleasant and there were basically no differences.

The main reason is that the Chinese side did not make any harsh demands.

There was no mention of asking Zheng Li to hand over the biological computer technology. This was not even mentioned.

Regarding biocomputer technology, Academician Zhao and Lei Jun only touched upon the subject and did not delve into other people's technical details.

When Academician Zhao and Lei Jun left, Zheng Li gave them the virtual reality equipment they were going to use.

"This is a rare virtual reality device. The Heilig World inside it will not appear in virtual reality devices that will be sold publicly in the future."

Lei Jun was very happy, it was worth a lot of money.

You should know that Apple’s first generation mobile phone was auctioned for 400,000 RMB.

This first generation of virtual reality equipment is also equipped with a unique virtual reality world and the virtual city of mage civilization, the value of which cannot be measured in money.

Lei Jun thought that he might have to hand it over to the country when he returned.

He originally thought that after the virtual reality equipment was released, Dami would build a virtual city based on Heilig's design.

After the negotiations, Lei Jun realized that all of Da Mi's strategic plans had to be completely overturned.

A new era is just around the corner. If Rice fails to make a good strategic transformation, it will be like a castle on the beach that will be shattered with a push in the new era.

After the negotiation, Zheng Li called Li Miaomiao: "Are you available now? Is there anyone else around?"

Li Miaomiao just said that there was no one around, and Zheng Li suddenly appeared beside her.

After revealing himself as a wizard, Zheng Li completely stopped being a human being.

Li Miaomiao was in her office, looking at Zheng Li who appeared beside her. She didn't make a fuss but just rolled her eyes.

I've gotten used to Zheng Li's mysterious appearances.

"You're using the magic brain on me so that you can better locate my position and appear beside me at any time, right?"

Zheng Li stood in the air, and the light and shadow effects that were almost the same as the real person were quite shocking. Combined with Zheng Li's temperament, there was really a feeling of being a god descending to earth.

Although Zheng Li achieved the splitting of his soul, he was still unable to teleport through space with his body.

And if it's just for communication, long-distance projection is enough.

Zheng Li replied: "This is a built-in function of the magic brain. The magic brains that everyone uses are like this. In fact, if you learn it, you can also grasp the location of other magic brain users.

I'll teach you again when I have the chance.

Just to give you a few quick thoughts, I just finished talking to the Chinese official representative, and now we need to start officially promoting virtual reality equipment."
