Chapter 272 Summer New Product Launch
The first-generation gaming helmet has finally been designed and finalized, and the first batch of samples has begun production. Although the cost of the samples is indeed a bit outrageous, with the production cost of one helmet reaching one million, dozens of samples were still produced in one go.
It is planned to be displayed at the press conference that will be held in more than half a month. As long as it shocks people enough, there will be enough orders. As long as the volume goes up, the production cost can of course be quickly reduced.
I rarely had some free time, so I went to the office, but Tina was not in the office. Instead, Natasha was in the office, sitting by the large floor-to-ceiling window, drinking coffee, listening to music, and basking in the sun. It seemed pretty good.
enjoy.
It wasn't until Li Xiao came closer and patted her on the shoulder that she finally woke up Natasha who was immersed in the music.
He turned around and looked at Li Xiaoyao, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, and was slightly stunned.
Although they have been in the company for several months, the other employees don't know that the mysterious boss Li Xiao has a cousin, but they take it for granted that the others don't know about it at the same time.
"...Are you Li Xiaoyao?" In order to avoid misunderstanding, Natasha still tried to ask.
"Uh, yes!"
After hearing Li Xiao's answer, Natasha, who was slightly nervous, completely relaxed.
"Miss Tina went to inspect the production line for synthesizing telomerase. She may not be able to come back today."
"Okay, then you continue." He said and walked directly to the computer in the office.
He sat directly on the boss's chair and picked up the computer mouse.
Seeing this, Natasha hurriedly chased after him, sprinting to the desk in a sprint of 100 meters, and pressed her hands on Li Xiao's shoulders.
Of course, Li Xiao could easily dodge or stop her, but he did not take any action and allowed the girl to pin her down.
Then his body leaned back involuntarily, and of course the person also fell backward. What was a bit embarrassing was that Natasha actually sat directly on him.
Turning over slightly, he successfully changed his position.
"Miss Natasha, you're fine, why did you push me?"
"How dare you say that you can touch the computer in your boss's office at will?"
"Just for this?"
"What if?"
"I thought you were interested in me."
Li Xiao's words made Natasha a little angry. She struggled several times but could not push away the person who was pressing her, so she could only punch Li Xiao hard.
"...Hurry up and drive away."
Seeing that Natasha seemed really angry, Li Xiao quickly let go and sighed in his heart. He had been teased by Bai'er for the past six months, and it seemed that he had learned bad things. He actually acted like a gangster and teased a decent woman.
My old self would never do such a thing.
"If you don't want me to tell Tina what happened today, you'd better be honest." After Natasha arranged her clothes, she warned Li Xiao fiercely.
"By the way, why do you think I'm afraid of Miss Tina?"
"...You scumbag."
Regarding Natasha's words, Li Xiao was a little speechless. In a sense, he was indeed a scumbag. At least he had never taken the initiative to call Helen Zhao in the past few months. Being busy with work was no reason at all.
.
Of course, what's even more outrageous is that there are two girls in the base. Although they are not real humans, they are just highly bionic robots, but in fact they are almost indistinguishable from real humans...
"I have nothing to say."
Li Xiao didn't say anything more, turned around and left the office.
"... Just cherish Miss Tina, she really loves you." Seeing Li Xiao turn around and leave, Natasha yelled again. Fortunately, it was lunch break and there was no one else in the office area.
, otherwise it would be really embarrassing.
"Don't talk nonsense, Tina and I are just good friends."
"It's a liar."
"Forget it, I'm too lazy to be like a silly girl like you." After saying that, he left the office without looking back. As for the data on the office computer, it will be automatically backed up to the server anyway, so you can view it anytime you want.

The biggest incident in the company these days is the issue of conducting Phase III clinical trials of synthetic telomerase.
The first two clinical trials can be said to be very, very perfect, and it has been one year since the first batch of test subjects were injected with telomerase.
Compared with the reference group, no increase in the probability of cancer was found. On the contrary, the probability of cancer was reduced because the body was healthier, and many geriatric diseases were greatly alleviated or even basically cured.
Therefore, although the Phase III clinical trial has not yet been completed, special approval has actually been obtained, and participants in the trial can provide hundreds of thousands of costs in the name of funding scientific research.
The current cost of one injection is still as high as 100,000, and a course of three injections costs a total of 300,000. However, even so, countless people still flock to it.
For many people who are not short of money, spending 300,000 to reverse the biological age of ten years is very cost-effective no matter how you look at it.
As for the cost will be lower if you wait, because Li Xiao has already said that he will reduce the cost of a course of treatment to 50,000 within five years, and even reduce the cost to less than 10,000 in ten years. However, many people simply cannot wait.
rise.
Therefore, even if you spend 300,000 yuan in the name of funding research and development to participate in phase III clinical trials, many people will still submit applications, and a lottery will still be required.
Of course, the probability is more than a thousand times greater than before. Basically, if you don't win this quarter, you will most likely win the next quarter. Of course, as the number of participants increases, and the production process of synthetic telomerase is gradually improved,
Costs are also falling rapidly as expected.
…
Of course, the basic structure of the virtual world that has been developed for more than half a year has been completed. Li Xiao just described the situation of many worlds based on some memory information obtained from the fungus owner, and then the Taichu system automatically generated the basic model.
What we have to do now is to continuously add various playable elements and fix various BUGs.
Of course Li Xiao is not good at these things, but he had already acquired an Internet company more than half a year ago, and also recruited a R&D team of hundreds of people. Coupled with the powerful computing power of the Taichu system, the overall move into the city can be said to be very, very good.
of success.
In addition, related news was quietly released, causing quite a stir on the Internet. Some people even added insult to injury and said that this virtual world has technology that can allow people's soul consciousness to escape reality and obtain eternal life in the virtual world...
Some people have connected this matter with the mysterious Mayan prophecy. The prophecy of the end of the world has gradually become that mankind will enter a new era in 2012...
Rumors are flying everywhere, and Xingchen Group has not come out to refute the rumors. In fact, this is simply news that Li Xiao deliberately released. The purpose is of course to see people's reaction to the virtual world preserving human memory information. Generally speaking, the support rate of this technology among ordinary people
Very high.
And it has attracted great attention from people, especially the upcoming summer new product launch conference to be held in the Bird's Nest on August 1st. It is said that several very mysterious high-tech products will be launched.
Because of the high public attention, the discussion was very intense, and of course it also attracted the attention of the global media. Therefore, although the press conference was still less than half a month away, many media reporters flew to China early.
Chapter completed!
