Dreamland Guide

Mei Yiqiu stood facing the wall with his pipe in his mouth, looking at the map on the big screen on the wall through the white smoke that he spit out. The densely packed dots on the map are full of red dots. The more developed the area, the denser the red dots, and some areas have even become a sea of ​​red.

He stretched out his hand and clicked on a red spot in the eastern United States, and a small window immediately popped out next to him:

City: Miami

Population: 5.59 million

Sales: 119,500 units

Number of users: 231,325 people

He randomly clicked a red dot on the east coast of China:

City: Yongcheng

Population: 8.2 million

Sales: 173220 units

Number of users: 437709 people

Then, Mei Yiqiu opened a few more spots in Europe, Japan, and other red-intensive places. The data shows that although the number of users varies from place to place, the overall difference is not big. The average sales volume of Space Box is about one-fortieth of the population, and the number of registered users of DreamGuide is two to three times the sales volume of Space Box. It means that every space box is shared by two or three people, which is what he expected.

In this matter, the game's several operators and the agents in various regions of the space box are quite different, and there was a lot of quarrel at the just-concluded video conference. The Penguin Group believes that the most important thing about the game is the number of basic users, so it can encourage people to share the space box. If the space box cost is not too high, you can even give away hardware for free. They believe that as long as the number of users increases and users have enough dependence, it is logical to charge for games and value-added services in the future; and the agency headed by Universal International believes that the core of the entire project is the space box, the dream guide game It should be free forever, and making money through hardware is the kingly way.

Another point of controversy is whether to connect to the Internet. 5G technology has been mature and commercialized, and the external mobile Internet can fully meet the data volume and space box requirements of the Dream Guide. The cost of self-built base stations is too large, and countries are now in a wait-and-see state. Whether to vigorously build 5G base stations or build dedicated ones separately The Internet is a problem. Everyone is slowing down and dare not take too much steps.

Since 5G base stations cannot be upgraded on the basis of 4G, the world’s major communications companies have already had independent networking plans in the past two years. However, the emergence of the space box has delayed the implementation of this plan. It actually overlaps with the original. It can be used universally, but the Third Space Foundation and May Labs insist on independent networking, and no one wants the 5G network built at a high price to be useless at the end.

The general call now is to open up dream guide data, merge and merge them, and save social resources as much as possible. But many mobile phone and hardware manufacturers do not support this, because it means that, except for the space box, all communication and VR devices including mobile phones will face obsolescence in a very short time.

And this is what SpaceBox’s agents are happy to see. There will be a real overlord who unifies the world. The world in the future will be the world of SpaceBox and the world of dream guides.

Of course, companies in many places have initiated antitrust lawsuits in the local area, suing the Third Space Foundation and its technology companies and related laboratories for violating the Monopoly Act, and even some people in the United Nations General Assembly have raised issues concerning the destiny of mankind. The bill that technology must be disclosed to all mankind requires the Third Space Foundation and May Labs to disclose the core technology of the space box. But if this bill is passed, it means that all nuclear and aerospace technologies in developed countries will be disclosed to the world, so it is obviously impossible to pass.

However, opposition is sweeping across the world, and calls for technology disclosure, network mergers, and hardware price reductions are increasing. Everyone can't stand the pressure anymore, and they don't quite understand why Mei Yiqi must insist on independent networking and rapid expansion. These are two contradictory things. For such a big project, no one wants to be fattened by one bite. .

During the entire video conference, Mei Yiqiu said nothing, just watching, listening, and smoking in silence. Until the end, those people stopped talking, and he said slowly: "Let's talk about it."

Those capitalists who are usually arrogant and invincible have nothing to do with this spirited old white-haired man. This is probably the least efficient business meeting they have ever held in their life, but for the most inexorable project in their life, They had no choice but to recognize it. In the face of capital, capitalists will always be a model of flexibility.

But for Mei Yiqiu, these are not important. The important thing is how to achieve the goal he wants to achieve in the shortest time-at least 1 billion users, preferably 2 billion, or even 5 billion. Of course, the latter may not be possible for him in his lifetime.

The reputation of DreamGuide can be said to be bursting. There is almost no bad review. The malicious reviews on the Internet can be seen at a glance, because they have never used the space box, and all real users, even if they were once bought by opponents. After using it once, you will really fall in love with this game, and you will lose your fortune and want to buy a space box. As a result, there have been reports of selling kidneys to buy space boxes on the Internet.

Mei Yiqiu randomly clicked on the red dots in several dense red areas on the map. As a game with expensive hardware, the user coverage of close to 10% is quite surprising. But there is still a big gap between Mei's requirements. Even if it reaches 10% in all regions of the world, it is only 700 million users.

Of course, it is easy to falsify data. The operating department of the Penguin Group had long given him a suggestion that he could easily increase the number of users by five times the current number, but this plan was rejected by Mei Yiqi. He doesn't need some repeated inactive accounts to attract capital's attention. What he needs are real users. Each user is independent, a unique person who can pass DNA verification and individual consciousness verification.

However, ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ now in addition to developed areas, there are large gray areas on the map, where there are scattered red dots, and even some places have no red dots.

His outstretched finger slid on the map, and opened a red dot in western China:

City: Us

Population: 3.69 million

Sales: 1532 units

Number of users: 3421 people

The user base of this city is less than one-thousandth of the population, and it is not yet the poorest area in China. Mei Yiqiu slid his hand to the west coast of Africa again, and found a solitary red dot among the large patches of gray. He clicked and saw that the data was:

City: Monrovia

Population: 1.15 million

Sales: 1 unit

Number of users: 1

No matter how poor areas are, there are also rich people, but in the capital of this African country, only one person actually bought a space box. Mei Yiqiu doesn't know who that person is, but he knows the source of the problem that cannot be promoted in these places-there are no base stations, and operation and maintenance companies will not build base stations for a few users.

The only user in Monrovia must have rented a special satellite data channel provided by the third space, which will pay an extra fee.

"Professor, is there really no way to get through with the existing network and equipment?" Mei Ziqing asked cautiously behind him.

Mei Yiqiu shook his head: "No data encryption method can stop a ghost dangling in the online world!"

"But I don't understand, why do we have to stop it? As long as it cannot rewrite our data, its existence will not affect us to distinguish parasitic consciousness!" Mei Ziqing said.

"How do you know that a conscious body living in an electronic network is not a parasite?"
