Chapter 968 Price and safety
Translator 549690339
Zhou Jiangping and a few professionals from Lehui looked at the blueprint on Chen Moâs computer screen in shock.
This was because ... What the blueprint depicted was a piece of equipment that the world had been guessing for many years but had never really developed A VR gaming pod that uses neural connection technology.
âThe current VR technology had reached a bottleneck, just like how the steam engine could not reach the efficiency of the internal combustion engine no matter how much it was improved. â
âIf the current VR technology wanted to be improved further, the most they could do was to improve the accuracy of the images, do a few more character movements, and update the sensory equipment to make the sense of the body more realistic ... â
âHowever, no matter how much he improved, it was impossible to reach the level of neural connection. â
âChen Moâs new VR gaming pod blueprint was like a transformation from a steam engine to an internal combustion engine. It changed the fundamental principles of VR gaming pods, and opened up a new VR gaming era. â
âZhou Jiangping suppressed his excitement and asked,ââââPresident Chen, letâs not talk about the cost of this thing first. I want to ask first, can this thing ... Work normally?ââ â
âChen Mo ââ==ââ â
âââAhem.ââ Zhou Jiangping coughed twice.ââDonât worry, Mr. Chen. Iâll take a good look at this blueprint.ââ â
âChen Mo sat down on the sofa,ââââItâs fine, Iâm not in a hurry. Take your time. ââ â
âZhou Jiangping and a few Lehuiâs technicians gathered around the computer screen and carefully looked at the entire design drawing, including the various components and principles of the new VR gaming pod. â
âAfter watching for about half an hour, Zhou Jiangping sat on the sofa next to him, still a little dazed. â
âââHow is it?ââ Chen Zhao asked. â
âZhou Jiangping was obviously very excited, but he still maintained his calm.ââââIn terms of production, yes! It was just expensive. A few of them used the most cutting-edge technology, such as neural connection technology, life safety system, and so on. Especially the neural connection technology, which basically uses the most advanced technology at this stage. ââ â
âââBut thereâs a problem. At the current stage, we can make the kind of electrodes that can monitor, guide, and input brain signals that you want, but ... The current level of technology canât figure out how to analyze the collected brain signals. This device was also the same. Without the corresponding analysis program, even if the brain signal was collected, how could it be converted into a program signal and transmitted to the host? And how do you transmit the hostâs signal to the players?ââ â
âChen Mo smiled,ââdonât worry about that. I have the analysis program too. Iâve already applied for patents for the hardware and software.ââ Now Iâm thinking of making a sample and estimating the price. ââ â
âZhou Jiangping still couldnât believe it, but seeing Chen Moâs confidence, he was almost convinced. â
âââIn terms of production cost, each should be around 300000 to 400000. If we lower the cost, it should be at least 250000, which is still much more expensive than most of the current VR gaming pods. However, I donât think the price is a problem. After all, this thing represents the future direction of development. Moreover, there are many rich people in this world. ââ â
âChen Mo was deep in thought, hmm, 300 thousand ... â
The price was unexpectedly high.
âThe cost of the original VR game cabin was between 50000 and 200000, and it could not be promoted on a large scale, let alone the new game cabin that cost 250000. â
âOf course, the so-called ââlarge-scale promotionââ was mainly to allow this thing to enter thousands of households and the working class. If only the rich were considered, this potential market was still quite large. In other words, at this stage, it could only be a toy for the rich, and it couldnât even fully replace the old VR gaming pods. â
âChen Mo thought for a moment.ââIf thatâs the case, then we wonât lower the price. Weâll go for a higher end. After all, to the rich, thereâs not much difference between two hundred fifty thousand and three hundred thousand.ââ â
âZhou Jiangping nodded.ââI think so too. This thing canât be sold at a cabbage price. For the working class, even if itâs cheaper by 20000 to 30000 Yuan, they still think itâs expensive.ââ At this stage, we can only go to the high-end market. However, this thing is a product of the most advanced technology, and it monopolizes the market. No matter how you sell it, youâll make a huge profit. ââ â
âââIâm fine.ââ Chen Mo tapped the table.ââWe can handle this level of hardware, right?ââ â
âZhou Jiangping nodded,ââsure.ââ Because this VR gaming pod is equivalent to bringing our cutting-edge technology into the practical stage in advance, which is equivalent to a small leap. In terms of hardware, since we can build it, we can definitely repair it. However ...ââ â
âZhou Jiangping paused and asked,ââwhat Iâm worried about is the risk of this thing.ââ This new VR gaming pod can directly transmit information to the playerâs brain and nerves. If something happens, will it cause damage to the playerâs brain?ââ â
âââWell,ââ Chen Mo explained,ââthe game Committee has already arranged for experts and technical staff to evaluate the safety of this thing. If it doesnât pass, itâs not going to be sold.ââ However, it shouldnât be a big problem, because this device isnât invasive, which means that thereâs no need for any âintubation behind the headâ, so the safety is relatively higher. ââ â
âââThe human brain has a very strong protective mechanism. The connection between the brain and the nerves is carried out in the playerâs half-hypnotized state. The game cabin itself will also monitor the data transmitted to the player and the playerâs physical condition in real time. If there is any abnormality, the consciousness connection will be immediately disconnected. For the players, it will at most be like having a nightmare, or even less frightening than a nightmare.ââ â
âââFor this, the game Committee will arrange for corresponding clinical trials to estimate the highest terror points of this thing. However, we donât need to worry about that. We donât have that power. ââ â
âZhou Jiangping nodded.ââOkay, it seems that Iâve been overthinking. How about this, Iâll arrange for a sample to be produced immediately. It should be done soon.ââ â
âChen Zhao seemed to have thought of something and said,ââââBy the way, take a good look at some of the additional functions, such as the life support system, the video signal output system for live broadcast, and so on. There might be a special version for special groups of people or special departments, so we have to consider it in advance. ââ â
âZhou Jiangping nodded,ââsure, no problemââ â
......
âZhou Jiangping left in joy. To him, so what if this thing was expensive? There would definitely be rich people who would buy it. Especially for those rich people who were old, weak, and ill, this thing was equivalent to a Second Life, so it was impossible for it to have no market. â
âChen Moâs idea was much simpler. After all, the price would drop after he unlocked a few more technology points. He would sell a batch of them to scam the rich first and let the players get used to it, then mass produce them later. â
âOf course, it couldnât be said to be a scam. After all ... The earlier you buy, the earlier you enjoy. â
