As a mage, I just want to pursue the truth

Chapter 328 Influence (asking for monthly ticket!)
Li Miaomiao was quite surprised that the results came out so quickly.

You should know that at that time, she reported the situation to the Chinese officials and stayed in Yanjing for a few days before returning to Gusu.

This is because Li Miaomiao does not have enough understanding of China's decision-making mechanism.

After the report, a special person signed some confidentiality agreements with her.

Li Miaomiao also knew what kind of uproar it would cause if this matter was exposed, so she didn't even tell her sister.

She has done the best she can.

Zheng Li continued, "We still need to keep it secret for fifteen days. The Chinese government needs some buffer time."

“Then we can start working.

Simply put, virtual reality devices can be sold nationwide, but communication between virtual devices is limited to Suzhou City. "

Li Miaomiao was already very business-savvy, and she quickly realized: “So what we sell to other places are stand-alone devices?
What about stand-alone virtual reality games?

As a vehicle for users’ first experience.”

Zheng Li nodded and said, “In fact, virtual reality devices cannot be connected to the Internet, and they cannot be connected to the Internet on a large scale.

However, virtual devices can be connected to the Internet.

Built-in online gaming is also possible.

For specific products, we need to find someone to do it.

But there will be special people to do this.

You know Chen Ran, right? That is, Red Fox Studio. This studio is under my control. You can directly discuss the acquisition with Chen Ran. Red Fox will be fully integrated into Kechuang Biotechnology as a subsidiary of Kechuang Biotechnology.

Let them be responsible for creating the virtual reality world.”

The core competitiveness of Red Fox Studio comes from Zheng Li’s game engine.

Moreover, Chen Ran did not dare to reveal that he had a game engine that was far more powerful than any other engine on the market.

Therefore, Chihu has always operated in a small workshop style, and the employees who have access to core secrets are the earliest employees brought out from Tencent.

At the same time, a sky-high confidentiality agreement was signed.

Even so, there are still various rumors in the gaming industry, but they have not been confirmed.

Li Miaomiao asked doubtfully: "I know about Red Fox Studio.

It has done very well in VR games and is a very powerful company in China.

When their games first became popular, many people wanted to invest in them.

But they have always been tough and have been using their profits to distribute dividends and develop new games.

He looks like he doesn't care about money.

It turns out that you are the boss behind the scenes. I guess Pony will be very depressed when he finds out, after all, the founding team of Red Fox all came from Tencent.

But how did you come up with the idea of ​​starting a gaming company? "

Zheng Li explained: "Because I want to know if there are any magical plants in this world.

I can't explore every corner of the world. Even if there are satellites, their observations cannot cover such a wide range.

I want to let more people know about magical plants through games, and see if they have seen similar plants.

I asked Chen Ran to implant the magic plants into the game."

Li Miaomiao understood instantly: "No wonder the backgrounds in the games developed by Red Fox Studio are so bizarre, they turned out to be plants from other worlds.

And red foxes often carry out creative activities around the plants in their environment.

I remember that I had initiated similar activities before, such as finding interesting plants around us.

At that time, people were still discussing in the forum that the Red Fox was worthy of being the Red Fox, even its activities were so unconventional.

Other game companies organize activities that are all centered around characters, and their main concern is how to get players to spend money.

Red Fox is organizing an event, and I don’t know what the planner of the event is thinking.

The original source is all here with you.

So what did you find?"

Zheng Li shook his head and said, “No.

But it is normal, after all, the Blue Planet is so far away from the planet I was on before.

There are huge differences in the environment and regions, so it would be abnormal if there were similar magical plants.

But I think that Blue Star does not have magical plants like the wizard civilization, but there is a high probability that there are plants with special effects.

We just haven’t discovered it yet.”

Li Miaomiao: “Maybe.

I will talk to Chen Ran about acquiring Red Fox Studio and let them do this.

Would one other game not be enough, and do we need to reach out to other manufacturers?
Actually, what I want is that since it is a stand-alone device, the accompanying content should be as rich as possible.”

After thinking for a moment, Zheng Li said, “We can communicate with these manufacturers.

However, the development of the virtual world is a completely different approach from traditional computer programming.

But it doesn’t have much impact, we can just have someone come to receive training when the time comes.”

Zheng Li forgot that this kind of training can be done by artificial intelligence.

There just happens to be a virtual world. Wouldn’t it be great if artificial intelligence could create its own virtual image in the virtual world and then provide training to the people of Blue Star?

In fact, the development of this virtual world is different from traditional programming. It is equivalent to a dream maker.

The virtual world is automatically generated by artificial intelligence, relying entirely on imagination and some artistic materials.

The dream maker only needs to fill in the framework of the world and the specific details.

Some details of the artificial intelligence structure are inconsistent with the dream maker's ideas, so the artist needs to tell the artificial intelligence the requirements more specifically.

The same principle applies to creating a game world, where artificial intelligence will automatically recognize text-based needs.

The requirements for programming languages ​​are reduced to the extreme.

Later, Zheng Li plans to open a general artificial intelligence framework to the Mage Alliance and provide it to Blue Star.

Under this framework, Bluestar's needs for industrial intelligence can basically be met.

Virtual reality technology enriches human spiritual life, while artificial intelligence, combined with breakthroughs in energy technology, meets material needs. With a whole set of technologies, combined with directing resources to the field of research and development, this is the implementation path planned by Zheng Li from the top-level logic.

From the evolution of the entertainment industry over the years, it is obvious how technological development has a direct impact on all walks of life.

In recent years, top internet celebrities have earned no less than top stars, also due to technological advances.

As for why controlled nuclear fusion is not developed in the energy sector, it is because the nuclear fusion technology route is not within the Mage Alliance's technology system.

Zheng Li doesn't know either.

The mages solve the energy problem by using biotechnology rather than nuclear energy.

It was only after Zheng Li came to Blue Star that he came into contact with nuclear energy-related technology, and he was very interested in it.

It's just that I'm limited by my time and can't spare the time to conduct in-depth research.

The bioenergy widely used by mages is, in essence, biophotovoltaic technology.

This technical route was also proposed by scientists on Blue Planet. The basic idea is to use photosynthetic microorganisms to convert light energy into electrical energy.

The microorganisms will use their photosynthetic apparatus and incident light to split water molecules. The resulting protons and electrons are collected using a bioelectrochemical system.

It's just that Blue Star has made slow progress in this regard, while the Mage Alliance has already achieved biophotovoltaic technology to provide them with more than 95% of their energy sources.

Blue Star's mainstream scientific and technological system has resulted in their application of biotechnology not developing as expected.

Taking biophotovoltaic technology as an example, the biggest difficulty lies in the fact that Bluestar's power supply system or energy storage carriers such as batteries are all based on electrochemical technology.

Aside from the energy stored as heat, Blue Planet scientists believe that solar energy is unlimited on time frames relevant to humans.

Of course, this also fits with the history of the Mage Alliance's use of solar energy, which is indeed unlimited.

Blue Star utilizes solar energy through silicon wafers, while mages utilize solar energy through biological organisms.

Scientists on the blue planet have also discovered that green plants and blue algae have long developed a natural system that can convert water into protons and electrons, producing oxygen as waste in the process.

The protons and electrons are then used to reduce the carbon atoms in the CO2 molecules, thereby fixing these carbons into multi-carbon units, forming the basis for biomass formation.

However, scientists on Blue Planet calculated the photosynthesis efficiency of this process based on the light energy reaching the outer atmosphere, and the actual biomass captured was less than 1% (the theoretical maximum is 4.5%).

This means that systems using biomass as a feedstock (rather than a catalyst) will be significantly less efficient at converting energy than photovoltaic panels.

However, the mages found that the photon efficiency of the enzyme complex with water-splitting reaction is much higher, with a theoretical maximum of about 70%, and even after using some special means, it can exceed this theoretical maximum.

Therefore, the best possibility for energy production using the photosynthetic apparatus is not the production of biomolecules that are later oxidized to obtain energy, but the direct coupling of energy production with water splitting.

Mages have historically discovered the use of whole-cell bacterial catalysts as a source of electrical energy.

Complete bioelectrochemical systems were constructed to generate electrical energy from some or all of the phototrophic organisms during the light period.

Biophotovoltaics uses natural photosynthesis to directly generate energy, where incident light is used by oxygenated biomass to carry out a water splitting reaction, releasing electrons which are then harvested via the anode, thus providing electricity.

Through this technology, the mages achieved energy freedom.

In this area, Blue Star scientists have not yet found a way to extract electrons from the microbial electron transport chain into the solid-state anode.

This is the most critical point for Blue Star to advance biophotovoltaics.

Zheng Li, as he was previously a god of magic, had experience in building a magic tower and was responsible for the infrastructure maintenance of an entire region.

Therefore, we are very familiar with this set of biophotovoltaic technology.

In Zheng Li's view, biophotovoltaic technology can not only solve the energy problem of the blue planet, but also greatly curb the climate crisis of the blue planet.

At the same time, even on Mars, as long as the biophotovoltaic technology can be moved there and applied, a complete Martian ecosystem can be built based on biophotovoltaic technology.

Of course, this is a matter for the future, and biophotovoltaic technology requires the cooperation of all countries on the blue planet.

This technology will directly destroy Blue Planet’s current energy system.

The difficulty of promotion is even greater than that of virtual reality devices.

However, based on Zheng Li's understanding of the countries on Blue Star, he estimated that the Nordic countries would fire the first shot.

Even the entire European Union, because they are tired of having to look to natural gas and crude oil for control.

After finishing the conversation with Zheng Li, Li Miaomiao stayed at home and did not go anywhere for a while.

Because of China's confidentiality requirements, she is unable to start her work for the time being.

Getting the work done will inevitably lead to news of the VR device leaking out.

So now we can only wait for official notification from China.

In the next half month, the capital markets in China and even around the world were in turmoil.

Not only does China officially hold shares in many listed companies, but many listed companies in the A-share market are themselves state-owned or central enterprises.

China also needs to deal with these enterprises in a coordinated manner.

Especially for Hong Kong-listed companies like Zhonggai Internet, their market value has continued to plummet, causing the market to wonder when the bottom will be reached.

By 2031, some inferior Internet listed companies will have been eliminated and delisted from the Hong Kong stock market, and it is no exaggeration to say that the remaining ones are high-quality Internet companies.

These companies have repeated the plunge from 2021 to 2022 and regained the title of the Beggars' Gang.

"China's Internet stocks have fallen into a state of mutual pity among Chinese beggars. Since the 13th of this month, the CSI Overseas Internet 50 Index has continued to plummet.

The total decline of the index has exceeded 30%, among which the share price of Tencent, which is known as the ballast of overseas Chinese stocks, has fallen by 25%.

This is very abnormal for a company that is the leader among the leaders in the Internet industry and has spanned the PC era, mobile Internet era and VR era.

Even in the VR era, with the entry of well-known domestic and foreign companies such as Microsoft, FB, Google, and Ali into the virtual city field, Tencent's Huanyu Pengcheng was squeezed out of the top spot in market share for the first time.

But this is still not the reason why Tencent’s stock price fell by 25% in a week.

However, this decline was a general decline in overseas Chinese stocks, and it was not just a problem for Tencent alone.

Affected by the sharp drop in Chinese stocks listed in the US, the Nasdaq index fell by more than 10% in a week, with Apple, META, Microsoft and Google being the hardest hit.

From the news perspective, there is currently no negative public opinion between China and America. Senior Chinese industry insiders speculate that this may be a risk-averse behavior of capital due to the intensive release of annual reports.

Duan Yongping, a big name in the investment industry who had been optimistic about Tencent for many years, has disappeared on Xueqiu and has not posted anything to express his optimism about Tencent.

Previously, he had publicly expressed his optimism about Tencent in the fourth quarter of last year, and completed the increase in holdings in the fourth quarter of last year, with the last increase being 300 million yuan.

Judging from the decline of Tencent's stock price this week, if Duan Yongping had not sold his shares due to this increase in holdings, his floating loss would have exceeded 60 yuan.

Judging from the sudden 360-degree plunge of Chinese Internet companies, industry insiders in Hong Kong believe that the Chinese government will soon introduce policies, which is a purely policy-oriented impact.

It's the end of the month, let's vote
