Black Technology Live Room

Chapter Name: Intelligence and Artificial Intelligence

...

In Zhaicheng, in Room 1 on the third floor of the southeast cafeteria of Xihe Science and Technology Park, Zhang Zhai and Chief Xie are sitting opposite each other.

"Mr. Xie, I used to go to your place all the time to grab your meals, but now that I'm in Zhai City, you can order whatever you want."

"Okay, then I won't be polite, I'll beat you up today." Chief Xie smiled, and he was not polite, he took the menu and ordered.

However, none of the delicacies are ordered, they are all home-cooked dishes.

Zhang Zhai didn't pay much attention to food, and Chief Xie obviously didn't, either.

...

"Okay, just these dishes." Zhang Zhai handed the menu to the waiter.

"Okay, Mr. Zhang, please wait a moment, and I will serve it to you right away."

The waiter left, and only Zhang Zhai, Chief Xie, and Chief Xie's guard Xiao Liu were left in the private room.

"Xiao Liu, you should go out first!"

Chief Xie gestured to Xiao Liu.

"Yes! Chief!" Xiao Liu turned around and walked out of the private room.

Immediately, only Zhang Zhai and Chief Xie were left in the private room.

Zhang Zhai looked at Chief Xie, the two looked at each other, and then both laughed.

"Mr. Xie, you always come to Zhai City in person, isn't it just to visit the city and then have a meal with me?"

Chief Xie smiled and shook his head, "Xiao Zhai, I came to Zhai City mainly for two things."

Chief Xie didn't go around in circles, and said straight to the point,

"The first thing is to pick up the anti-gravity box that the National Space Center ordered from you, which can carry a thousand tons."

As he said that, Chief Xie looked at Zhang Zhai, "As for the 20 billion yuan to buy the anti-gravity box, it will be remitted to Xihe Technology's bank account within one day."

"Mr. Xie, you can take the anti-gravity box away after you finish your meal." Zhang Zhai smiled flatly, even after hearing the number of 20 billion, his expression didn't change much.

Selling an anti-gravity box to the Huaguo National Space Center was communicated with the elders at the very beginning.

That is the cooperation between the National Space Center and the Zhaicheng Space Center in the previous announcement.

"Mr. Xie, taking the anti-gravity box should be incidental, right? The second thing should be related to the virtual world?" Zhang Zhai said with a faint smile.

Chief Xie nodded first, then became serious, and said seriously: "That's right, the second thing is indeed related to the virtual world."

"The second matter is not my personal behavior. I also accept orders and come here on behalf of the above."

Zhang Zhai also became serious when he heard the words, and said in a deep voice: "Thank you, chief, please tell me!"

"The second thing is to entrust me to ask you some questions in person."

Zhang Zhai didn't speak, waiting for Chief Xie's next words.

"First, how long will the closed beta of the virtual world end?

Second, when will the virtual world public beta start?

Third, will the virtual helmet be sold in large quantities when the public beta starts?

Fourth, how much do you decide to price the virtual helmet? "

For a total of four questions, Chief Xie spoke out word by word, carefully and clearly.

Zhang Zhai fell silent when he heard these four questions.

He stared into Chief Xie's eyes and began to think.

These questions are very strange.

What do the above care about these?

But if you think about it carefully, you will find that the so-called four questions are all somewhat vaguely connected: the first three questions are all laying the groundwork for the last question.

And the last question, what does the price of the virtual headset mean.

"It means the audience, the audience in the virtual world! If the price is too high, most people cannot consume it, which will naturally lead to a decrease in the audience; if the price is low, ordinary people can afford it, and the result will inevitably be that many people enter the virtual world."

Zhang Zhai wanted to understand this point, and then looked at these questions, and it became clear at once what the higher-ups were thinking.

The corners of Zhang Zhai's mouth raised and he laughed. Looking at Chief Xie's serious expression, he answered easily: "Mr. Xie, for the first question, the internal test period is 30 days. For the second question, after the internal test is over, what will happen? Immediately start the public beta, the third question, after the public beta, will definitely start selling virtual helmets. As for the last question..."

Zhang Zhai paused for a moment, with a mischievous smile on his face: "I have decided to set the price of the virtual helmet at between 8,000 and 10,000 RMB."

"Xiao Zhai, are you sure you missed a zero or two zeros? Are you sure it's RMB?" Chief Xie's expression changed immediately when he heard the answer to Zhang Zhai's last question, and he said anxiously,

"Xiao Zhai, are you sure you can recover the cost by setting such a price? Why don't you set a price of around 800,000?"

Looking at Chief Xie's eager look, Zhang Zhai couldn't help laughing: "Mr. Xie, in my heart, the value of the virtual helmet is far more than 800,000, or even more than 8 million, 80 million, and even the A single part is worth far more than 800,000."

What Zhang Zhai said is naturally a quantum chip.

"However... the technology for mass production of virtual helmets has matured. Apart from R\u0026D costs, the production cost is about 900 yuan each, and with mass production, the production cost will be reduced to less than 700 yuan. Virtual helmets are sold Selling it for 10,000 yuan, although the profit is less, let’s treat it as small profits but quick turnover.”

Hearing this, Chief Xie had an awkward expression on his face, as if he was constipated.

"Xiao Zhai..."

Chief Xie was a little hesitant to speak, and wanted to say something, but felt that it was hard to say.

"Well, are you sure you won't raise the price of the virtual helmet anymore?" Chief Xie said in a difficult way.

"Think about it, virtual helmet, such a cross-generational invention, is it a bit low to sell 10,000?"

"Mr. Xie, are you teaching me to be a profiteer?" Zhang Zhai couldn't help but shook his head with a smile.

"Xie Lao, I know the meaning of the above."

Zhang Zhai slowly put away his smile, and said seriously: "Does the above think that the emergence of the virtual world will cause many people to become addicted to it, and if the audience of the virtual world is too large, it may even lead to the collapse of the real economy?"

"I've figured it out a long time ago with you, you've been playing tricks on me, haven't you!" Chief Xie came to his senses, burst out laughing, couldn't help shaking his head, and scolded with a smile, "You bastard!"

"However, what you said is indeed correct. The higher-ups do have such concerns. After the internal testing of your virtual world, the higher-ups have learned about the virtual world through some methods.

reality! It's so real! Totally a real world!

Moreover, you mentioned before that the reality of the current virtual world is only less than 70%. I can't even imagine how realistic it will be after the virtual world you mentioned is open beta! "

Chief Xie raised his head and said with emotion: "I've lived for so many years, I really have never seen such a monster like you!"

Zhang Zhai shook his head with a wry smile, automatically ignoring the last sentence.

"Most people are addicted to it, isn't it good?" Zhang Zhai looked at Chief Xie and said lightly.

"Xiao Zhai, what do you mean by that?" Chief Xie asked, frowning.

"The existence of the virtual world is indeed fascinating. It is as real as the real world, and it is also a world that will never die. You can experience a different life. To be honest, if it were me... I would Obsessed with it."

"In particular, when a complete society is formed in the virtual world, it will make many people addicted to it, affect the real economy, and even lead to the collapse of the real economy chain in the real world!" Zhang Zhai said lightly.

Chief Xie frowned more and more, and became more and more confused.

"However, this is also a good opportunity!"

"What a good opportunity?" Chief Xie was a little bit overwhelmed!

"The opportunity for intelligent robots to replace humans!

Today's intelligent robots can theoretically replace most human jobs, as long as they are repetitive jobs, they can replace them.

But why hasn't it been done? "

Zhang Zhai asked himself and answered: "Because, if this is done, it will cause a large number of workers, white-collar workers, to be unemployed! A huge unemployed population will be born.

Even though, because intelligent robots replace humans and thus increase productivity, it is enough for the country to provide high welfare to support the basic life of these unemployed people. However, this group of idlers doing nothing will still cause huge hidden dangers to the whole society. Moreover, doing so will continue to increase the gap between the rich and the poor! "

"But now...if these unemployed people enter the virtual world, there will be no hidden dangers." Zhang Zhai said with a smile.

"Xiao Zhai, what you mean is to use the virtual world to solve the hidden dangers of unemployed population, and take advantage of the opportunity to use intelligent robots to replace repetitive labor."

"That's right!"

"Hiss..." Chief Xie gasped!

I forgot to type the title, and I can't change it, I'm tired... I can only type it at the front.

Thank you for your support.
