Chapter Three Hundred and Thirty Four Years Later(1/2)

"Hello everyone, I am very excited right now. Behind me is the rocket launch base that took five years to build at the Laurel Base in China.

It is also the second rocket launch base built by Blue Star people in outer space. This time is the day when the Laurel Rocket Launch Base was opened for the first time.

For the first time, two satellites will be launched, namely a Mars exploration satellite and a relay communication satellite, to prepare for China’s upcoming Mars landing this year.”

The Chinese astronaut stood in front of the rocket launch base. There was no one in front of him. Only the drones surrounding him in mid-air were silently recording everything.

Five years have passed since China's first landing on the moon. During these five years, China has successively launched dozens of round trips to the moon and the earth.

Five years later, with the help of dozens of Chinese astronauts and dozens of astronauts from all over the world, China's lunar launch base was successfully completed.

The launch base will mainly launch satellites in the early stage, and will gradually undertake manned missions to and from the Moon and Mars later.

Manned technology must require extreme caution.

China's first mission to Mars still needs to be carried out on Blue Star.

After the drone swarm takes the video, the video information will be transmitted back to Blue Star.

Drone group shooting is also to shoot 3D surround video for users to watch on VR.

While China was improving its lunar base, Amerikan had already completed two round trips between Blue Star and Mars.

The first one was successful, and the astronauts who returned to Blue Star after the first success were not willing to go a second time anyway.

The second time, it failed halfway. After reaching the preset orbit above Mars, it was unable to enter Mars and could only perform the return mission.

The third landing on Mars will be launched at about the same time as China, because there is only one time window for landing on Mars.

Li Miaomiao is thirty years old in 2031. In order to celebrate her thirtieth birthday, she deliberately did not go to work today but rested at home.

She picked up the latest generation of futureverse and entered the VR world. She first went for a walk in Minecraft, and then read the latest news on the official media channel in Minecraft.

"The second official London Magic Duel Competition will be held tomorrow. It is reported that more than ten thousand people have signed up to participate in this magic battle.

After a quick and brutal screening, 1,024 players entered the formal competition stage, which will be broadcast live on our VR sports channel. Everyone is welcome to watch."

"The fourth-generation industrial full-scenario solution created by Huawei has been launched on the market not long ago. The current market response is strong. Smart manufacturing giants led by Baosteel are likely to launch the next round of technology iterations."

“The second Global Mecha Fighting Conference jointly created by Kechuang Biotech and Goose Factory will reignite the war this month, and robots from dozens of well-known companies around the world will show off their skills on this stage.

Whether Tesla, which lost in the finals last year, will make a comeback, whether Sany Heavy Industry can successfully defend its title this year, and what kind of dark horse will suddenly rise, all the suspense will be revealed in these two months."

The Mecha Fighting Conference created by Goose Factory and Kechuang Biotech will only be played for two months in the whole year, and it will take ten months to prepare.

A total of thirty-two companies from all over the world gathered together, and everyone focused on winning or losing in these two months.

Because it involves many rounds of competition, there are high requirements for the damage resistance of the mecha.

Under VR, the density of news is very high, and the official VR media plays news one by one in turn.

Like Byte's Toutiao app, once you are in it, you will be surrounded by information streams, all ringing at the same time.

Then you stare at a certain news item and the news item will be highlighted.

Information is becoming increasingly fragmented.

On the contrary, the gaming industry, benefiting from the popularity of VR, has gradually begun to return to its original nature.

Masterpieces that focus on plot and gameplay are gradually gaining popularity, while fast-food games and cash-oriented games are gradually losing market share.

After all, VR games can’t be played at first glance because of their shoddy graphics.

Players with poor quality will not be able to make money, and the inability to make money will make developers reluctant to continue investing in optimization. This is a vicious cycle.

However, even for AAA masterpieces, various in-app purchases will become popular in 2031.

Settings such as in-app purchases of skins that do not affect the fairness of the game have become normal operations.

“According to internal news, Kechuang Biotechnology will release FutureVerse equipped with the latest generation of brain-computer connection technology at a new product launch conference in September this year. It has been three years since the last revolutionary breakthrough in brain-computer connection technology.

In the past three years, there has been no generational gap between Kechuang Future's brain-computer connection VR and other brands' products. Can the new products released by Kechuang Future in the autumn this year bring new breakthroughs to consumers...

..."

Li Miaomiao turned off the news, and then changed her outfit many times until she was satisfied with it.

That's the best thing about the virtual world. Changing clothes only requires a thought.

Basically, every virtual city built by a company will have a built-in cross-dressing function.

In Douyin’s virtual city, random cross-dressing is even one of the biggest selling points.

Li Miaomiao chose the one she was satisfied with, and then walked directly into the conference room from her room.

Compared with four years ago, many things have changed, but many things have not changed.

Telecommuting has gradually become a trend among private and foreign companies, and the rents of most office buildings have fallen repeatedly.

Globally, remote working from home has become mainstream. Except for manufacturing, most companies no longer need a fixed office location.

Smart capital has already sold off its office buildings, which have lost their value and are not bundled with resources such as medical care and education.

With demand gone and nothing to force a bottom, both asset prices and rents for office buildings have entered a downward trend.

In China, only state-owned enterprises still operate in office buildings.

This will bring about a new round of matching process between house prices and the value of their residential properties.

Taking China as an example, a very important aspect of the added value of a house is commuting time. Nowadays, many young people no longer consider commuting time.

In this era, even Lianjia’s house viewings are done with VR. You can directly enter Lianjia’s VR world, and the agent will enter the specific number to view the house.

It is also bad news for the local government, which originally built so-called new districts and then drove people from the old cities to the new districts through bundled job opportunities.

Then the trick of selling residential land in new areas no longer works.

Enterprises do not have the need to gather offices. If you build a new area, the new area will not provide enough job opportunities, which means that there is no way to drive people to the new area.

There are no people in the new district, residential land cannot be sold at high prices, and local finances are facing depletion.

You must know that almost all the land in the old city has been sold, and there is basically no residential land that can be auctioned. Demolition will cost money.

We must know that among the major cities in China, 13 cities have a land dependence degree of more than 100%, and only five cities have a land dependence degree of less than 50%.

The most exaggerated one is probably Hangzhou, with a dependence on land finance of as high as 150%!

They are also the most enthusiastic about selling land in virtual cities, and Ali and Hangzhou City almost hit it off.

Hangzhou even wanted to sell the virtual property rights of a city to Ali and Byte, but Ali strongly opposed it and threatened to relocate its headquarters.

There are only five major cities with land finance dependence below 50%, among which the lowest dependencies are Pengcheng, Shenhai and Yanjing.

Four years later, the world's land finance is completely unsustainable, and real estate taxes have begun to be implemented on a trial basis in strong second-tier cities.

The cities included in the first round of pilot projects were Shudu and Hangzhou.

First-tier cities do not rely so much on land finance, and China is also afraid that if land finance is placed in first-tier cities, housing prices will collapse, causing a snowball effect.

It is now a frozen market and can barely maintain the slow decline in first- and second-tier cities.

When choosing Hangcheng and Shudu, Hangzhou has the highest dependence on land, and Shudu is also not low, with a high dependence on land finance of 100%.

Moreover, these two strong second-tier cities have just enough samples for observation, and at the same time, even if something happens, the impact can be limited to these two cities.

Even though China had built a rocket launch base on the moon at this time, China's local government still relied heavily on land finance.

The two formed a contradictory yet organic unity in China.

“In this meeting, we need to discuss how the next generation of brain-computer-connected VR products can give consumers a better experience.

If we only optimize the chip and display effects, we will not be able to widen the gap between us and other manufacturers."

Li Miaomiao paused for a moment and then said: "Or just lower your profile in marketing?"

These four years have been commented by outsiders as the four years when Zheng Li disappeared.

Compared with the revolutionary changes in each generation of brain-computer-connected VR products in the past, the brain-computer-connected VR in recent years is like Apple after losing Steve Jobs, with bigger chips, shorter bangs, and better cameras.

Although Kechuang Future's products still occupy the absolute lead in the VR field, other manufacturers on the market have caught up.

The same is true for Kechuang's future, and the same is true for Kechuang Biotech. The only new drug on the market in four years is the one that stimulates the re-growth of cardiomyocytes.

In the past four years, there have been voices in the capital market asking whether Kechuang Biotechnology has lost the R&D capabilities of the past. They are now no different from ordinary technology companies.

At its previous peak, the market value of Kechuang Biotech exceeded Apple, but now its market value is only half of Apple's, and is even declining.

This is still supported by the third generation of brain-computer connection technology, so it can barely enjoy this valuation.

Currently, the second generation of brain-computer connection technology is paid based on usage and sold to major manufacturers.

The third generation of brain-computer connection technology only realizes the feeling of dizziness, converting electrical signals into neural signals.

More gimmick than reality.

When it first came out, public opinion on various social platforms seemed to have seen the dawn of virtual reality, blowing the scientific and technological innovations to the sky.

Three years later, users have been waiting to see whether Kechuang Biotech's new products can bring them a new generation of experience revolution.

Consumers will not care how difficult the technology is to implement, they will only see the product that is finally presented in front of them, losing the ability to surprise them.

“When I was watching the news just now, I saw media reports saying that our new products this year will have innovations in brain-computer connection technology.

I was terrified for a moment because I knew we didn't.
