Chapter 253 Virtual Network Experience Store

Think for a moment.

Lu Chen put this matter aside.

Even if he transfers Ling to the Jumo-1 supercomputer now, it will not succeed overnight if it wants to develop self-awareness.

If artificial intelligence wants to be born with self-awareness and become an intelligent life with autonomous consciousness, it needs astronomical data for its learning and evolution, as well as matching hardware equipment.

The Jumo-1 supercomputer can only be said to meet Ling's transformation standards in terms of hardware. If it wants to truly become an intelligent life with self-awareness, the virtual world must be fully formed.

The formation of a virtual world is bound to be a long process.

"Let's not talk about this now,"

Lu Chen turned his head, "You are the person in charge of the virtual universe company now. What you need to do is not only scientific research, but also the sales of virtual brain machines. Have you made up your mind?"

This is the focus of Lu Chen's trip.

No matter how good the virtual brain machine is, it must have a huge consumer base.

Otherwise, the selling price of a virtual cabin is as high as 10,000+ or ​​even hundreds of thousands, and it is doomed to miss ordinary consumers. This is not in line with Lu Chen's original intention of establishing a virtual network.

If you want to make the virtual network stand shoulder to shoulder with the Internet, or even surpass the Internet, and become the second world of human beings, it is impossible without a huge user base.

Hearing Lu Chen's question, R-101 knew clearly that the boss meant that although the virtual cabin they developed was powerful, it did not meet the spending power of mainstream consumer groups.

Also.

The cost of this virtual cabin is not cheap at first glance. Even if it is the cost price, it is estimated that it will not be worth nearly ten thousand Xia yuan. Converted into Hua yuan, it is tens of thousands.

The cost price is several tens of thousands, and it can't be sold to consumers at a starting price of one hundred thousand?
This has caught up with a low-end new energy vehicle.

Take the Huaguo market as an example.

It's not that there are no people who can afford a virtual cabin of [-] Huayuan. On the contrary, there are still many people, but there are even more people who can't afford it.

and so.

The virtual cabin is doomed not to become a mainstream product to promote the virtual network.

R-101 pondered for a moment and explained: "Actually, our company has prepared three grades of virtual brain machines. The virtual cabin you see is the most high-end one. wealthy class.

In addition, we also launched two virtual helmets, the cheapest virtual helmet, the cost is only 1000 Xiayuan, you see! "

As he spoke, R-101 took a silver-gray helmet from the assistant beside him.

Compared with the helmet in Huaguo Laboratory, this helmet has a much taller shape.

But Lu Chen knew that it was nothing more than further optimizing the electronic circuit and installing a casing.

The most expensive parts of brain-computer technology are neural connectors and brainwave translators.

Compared with these two components, the main chip is not expensive.

Of course, this also has something to do with the Civilization Science City's ability to manufacture chips.

The intelligent unmanned industrial cluster in Civilization Science City has long been able to independently produce various high-end carbon nanochips, coupled with the use of room temperature superconducting materials.

The chips produced by Civilization Science City are several orders of magnitude higher than traditional silicon cores in terms of power consumption and computing power, and the two are not at the same level at all.

If only to make money.

Lu Chen now only needs to put this chip on the market, and he can completely reshuffle the global semiconductor industry.

After all, for silicon cores, this kind of carbon nanochip combined with room temperature superconducting materials is a blow to dimensionality reduction.

Seeing this silver-gray helmet, Lu Chen nodded in satisfaction.

That's like talking!

Just now when R-101 introduced the virtual cabin to him, his first reaction was that it would be a ghost if this thing could be fully promoted.

No matter how powerful it is, if you can't afford it, you can't afford it.

Is it possible to let others borrow money for it?

It's not just needed!

But this helmet is different.

The construction cost was 1000 Xiayuan, which was only 6000 yuan when converted into Huayuan. After including taxes and profits, Lu Chen was able to control the price within 1 yuan.

For most consumers, this is just a matter of an expensive mobile phone.

of course.

Lu Chen is sure that even so, there are still many people who cannot afford this kind of helmet.

After all, his ultimate goal is to build a virtual world, not to make money selling helmets.

A virtual world, of course, the more users the better.

Think of this.

Lu Chen shook his head: "You may still not know much about the poor consumer groups in the world, especially the consumer groups in Huaguo. There are still quite a few people who can't afford 1 yuan."

Hearing this, R-101 frowned.

Compressing the cost of the virtual helmet to 1000 Xia yuan is almost the ultimate that can be achieved without affecting its functions.

If we continue to reduce costs, it will affect the degree of virtuality of the virtual helmet.

Just like the virtual degree of the virtual cabin can reach 100%, although the virtual helmet is not as good as the virtual cabin, it can also reach the virtual degree of 95%.

At least it's not lower than the degree of virtuality that Lu Chen personally tried.

"Boss, although the price of 1 Huayuan will miss some consumer groups, there are still a large number of people who can afford it.

In addition, with the development of the economy, these groups who cannot afford it will definitely be able to afford virtual helmets gradually. "

R-101 is not too worried about this.

In his opinion, it is only a matter of time before a virtual network with more advanced technology replaces the Internet, and there is absolutely no need for Lu Chen to be so anxious.

Of course Lu Chen knew R-101's thoughts.

If the virtual network is allowed to expand by word of mouth, it will indeed gradually match or even replace the Internet.

But this time will be a long time.

It may take several years or even ten years, and with the obstacles of existing Internet companies, it may not necessarily be decades.

After all, every one of Lu Chen's companies seems to be very powerful.

But he really doesn't have a deep foundation in the Internet field.

The only thing that can have anything to do with the Internet seems to be a game company.

However, compared with the Internet giants, the industry status of game companies is not at the same level at all.

If others want to block you, they can make your company difficult in a matter of minutes.

Even if others look at Chensheng Technology's face, they will not do everything, but you have forced others to die, and others still talk to you about morality?
What will become of Internet companies that have lost the soil of the Internet?
Anyone with a little foresight knows that the emergence of virtual brain machines must be a major reshuffle for Internet companies.

The drastic change will far exceed the era when the PC network transitioned to the mobile network.

"What do you think, how about we open a chain of virtual online experience stores?"

"Virtual online experience store?"

"Or, a virtual Internet cafe."

Internet cafes have made an indelible contribution to the popularization of the Internet.

In the early years, when Huaguo's economy was not well developed, everyone surfed the Internet through computers in Internet cafes.

Later, as Huaguo's economy became more and more developed, coupled with the continuous decline in the prices of electronic products such as computers and mobile phones, these electronic products really entered thousands of households.
