Chapter 530 Gift of Virtual Helmet
Liu Mingyu stopped tapping the table, crossed his hands in front of him, and said: "Mr. Ma, this method is not impossible, but it is only limited to virtual games, and does not include virtual reality technology."
"Of course." Xiao Ma nodded. His original plan was to cooperate with Xingchen Group on virtual games, and he had not thought about other applications of virtual reality technology.
If I had such epoch-making technology, I wouldn't be able to hand him over.
Being able to achieve cooperation in virtual games is already a very good way of cooperation.
Liu Mingyu laughed loudly and said: "Then we will follow Xingchen Cloud's method, and Xingchen Group and Tencent Group will jointly establish a new company."
The two parties initially reached a cooperation agreement, and the originally tense atmosphere in the entire conference room instantly became cheerful.
The rest is just a matter of details.
Of course, details are also very important.
As for how the two parties will contribute capital, it will have to be negotiated through the negotiation teams of both parties.
The two big guys just control the general direction.
Brother Ma asked: "Mr. Liu, I wonder how much this virtual helmet costs?"
Liu Mingyu turned on the holographic projection, and a virtual helmet full of futuristic technology appeared in the middle of the meeting.
Brother Xiao Ma sighed. As expected, all kinds of black technology products can be seen everywhere in Xingchen Building. The holographic projection technology can only be fully applied by Xingchen Group. He felt that the longer he stayed in Xingchen Building, the more he felt that Xingchen Building was unfathomable. It was really
It’s hard to imagine how Xingchen Group developed so many technologies.
The cost of the virtual helmet was originally a secret, but the two parties have reached preliminary opinions. For Xiao Ma, it is no longer a real secret.
Liu Mingyu said: "Mr. Ma, due to material and process issues, the virtual helmet can be regarded as a high-end microcomputer. The configurations used in it are the most expensive configurations on the market. The cost of the entire virtual helmet is about 10,000 yuan.
This is just pure hardware cost, software cost is not calculated."
To be honest, this price can only be obtained if Liu Mingyu works hard to compress it. If it is a fourth-generation virtual helmet, it is not a matter of money at all.
Not to mention mass production issues, even if it is placed in a laboratory, it may not be possible to produce it.
Some materials cannot be made just by having money.
If the industrial and technical strength has not been reached, it will be useless to say anything.
Virtual helmets involve human brain wave transmission issues. Titanium-germanium alloy is only one of the main raw materials, and some details still limit the virtual helmets.
The cost of the virtual helmet is so high, mainly due to the configuration problem inside. It has almost reached the highest configuration at this stage. With this configuration, it can barely run the Wizarding World.
It is impossible for Liu Mingyu to let other companies curb his own development. Regarding industrial development, Liu Mingyu is already progressing simultaneously.
However, industrial development cannot be achieved overnight and needs to be developed slowly.
Xingchen Group will be involved in many things in the future, and it is very necessary to master the core technology yourself.
I took a look at the hardware configuration listed on the virtual helmet. Although I don’t often pay attention to hardware configuration, Xiao Ma is still somewhat impressed by the listed important accessories. These are all high-end configurations and can reduce the cost to 10,000 yuan.
This is still a price that can only be achieved by mass production.
Brother Ma nodded: "I'm afraid the final selling price will exceed 20,000 yuan, right?"
"I don't know the details yet. It's still in production and will be announced after it's launched. But the price is probably close to ten." Liu Mingyu said with a smile.
The cost price of 10,000 yuan is only the hardware cost, plus software cost, tax and other expenses.
In the hands of consumers, the price may indeed exceed 20,000 yuan.
Is it expensive to buy a virtual helmet capable of playing virtual games for 20,000 yuan?
to be honest.
Not expensive.
When many devices were first developed, they were destined to be affordable only to rich people.
When the technology matures, the price of virtual helmets will become cheaper and cheaper, and then it will be accepted by the majority of players.
Even at the current price of 20,000 yuan, some people can still afford it if they grit their teeth.
You know, there are many players who have offered up to 20,000 yuan to qualify for the internal beta test of the Wizarding World.
What’s the point of spending 20,000 yuan to buy a virtual helmet of your own?
Of course, in order to take care of those who cannot afford to buy virtual helmets but want to play virtual games, Liu Mingyu also provided a method.
That is to open virtual game experience centers in big cities across the country just like Internet cafes.
Now for internal testing, virtual game experience centers have been opened in first-tier cities across the country. Their main function is to solve the problem of players who do not have money to buy virtual helmets.
Of course, in order to allow more players to purchase virtual helmets, Star Group also plans to introduce an installment payment method.
The equipment worth 20,000 yuan is repaid in installments over one year, which is only more than 2,000 yuan per month.
Such a price is acceptable to most consumers.
"When will the virtual helmet be available on the market?" Xiao Ma asked.
"It will be launched in large quantities in about a month, and reservations for virtual helmets may be opened in the near future." Liu Mingyu did not hide his plans.
Brother Ma grinned and said: "Then you have to make an appointment. The experience of the wizard world is really nostalgic. There is also the nightmare body-refining wizard. You can't experience the superhuman feeling in reality. You can experience it in the game.
."
"No need to make an appointment. I will send some to Mr. Ma when he returns later." Liu Mingyu said with a smile on his face.
"That would be great." Brother Ma thanked him.
Then he joked: "Mr. Liu is not afraid that I will use it to crack the virtual game?"
Liu Mingyu laughed loudly and said: "Then I have to remind you, don't disassemble the virtual helmet yourself. I have set up protection measures. If you open it privately, it will damage the motherboard inside."
Xiao Ma was surprised, but didn't show anything on his face. He laughed and said, "How could it be possible? Where can I get a virtual helmet if it's damaged?"
To be honest, he really had the urge to open the virtual helmet and do some research. He just wanted to see what kind of structure was inside to realize such an epoch-making technology as virtual reality.
Liu Mingyu smiled and said nothing. He didn't care what the other party thought. Anyway, there was a security program set up by Wu Junhao in the virtual helmet. He was not afraid that someone could crack it in this era, even if it was a brute force cracking method. Now it ranks first
It will take several years to run it on a supercomputer before you have a chance to crack it.
When Brother Ma left, Liu Mingyu gave him five brand new virtual helmets.
As for what Xiao Ma wants to do with the virtual helmet, that's not his business.
