It's really uncomfortable to die in public, even in front of the entire Blue Star people.
Lawrence had no mental preparation at all.
Herman thought this was a good thing.
Today, people are more aware of the value of consensus.
Summarizing the history of human speculation, to put it bluntly, it is consensus.
Only when someone realizes that something has value can transactions flow.
It is also a consensus that currency is debt.
In the tulip incident in the Netherlands, everyone was hyping up tulips like crazy because everyone agreed that they were valuable.
The same is true for today’s virtual currencies.
Including the monkey votes in Chinese history, the so-called significance is just to strengthen the consensus in people's hearts.
Only when there is a consensus will someone pay the bill. If only the banker recognizes the value of a hyped thing, where can you find a taker?
The phenomenon of Big A is the most obvious. If you don’t pull out a few boards and let the leeks have the illusion that this company is the leader, how can you attract the leeks to come in and harvest?
The so-called leading or demon stocks of Big A are all designed to create a false consensus that they will continue to rise.
The same goes for being an Internet celebrity. Black and red are also red, because black and red also create a consensus in the hearts of a large number of people. As long as it is a consensus, it is valuable.
Besides, public opinion is easy to manipulate. For example, tfboy, who was ridiculed by the entire Internet back then, is anyone still laughing at them now?
Such a clear and clear truth, as a little transparent person on tik tok, Heman is very clear in his heart.
Of course, four-digit fans are not too transparent. There are many people within the University of Manchester who are paying attention to Herman.
Maybe he couldn't express it in words, but in his subconscious, he was fully aware of the value of Lawrence's global popularity.
As Lawrence's best friend, he can definitely have a share in this.
Lawrence shook his head and said: "I hope to be known to the public because of my wisdom, not because I served as a backdrop for magical events."
"And I'm not very keen on being an internet celebrity. This kind of popularity can last for a month at most."
Lawrence knew very well that he had social fears in front of outsiders and was not good at speaking. He was not the material for this job at all.
As people grow up, they will have a clearer and clearer understanding of themselves.
When I was young, I dreamed of becoming a scientist, astronaut, etc. When I got older, I hoped to get admitted to Tsinghua University and Peking University.
As you grow up, some doors are closed to you due to objective reasons, and some doors are actively closed due to your understanding of yourself.
The door here refers to choice. As people grow up and have a clear understanding of themselves, their choices become fewer and fewer.
Lawrence's self-perception is that it would be best if he could take the scientific research route in the future. If he does not have this talent, it would be good to become a technician.
Herman stood up and waved his arms, the fat on his arms trembling, "Of course I know you don't have a sense of camera, and you don't have much desire to express yourself."
"I can be responsible for thinking about what to shoot for each video. My years of experience in watching movies and surfing Douyin can just come in handy."
"In addition, it's not that you don't have the desire to express yourself, it's just that your desire to express yourself lies in your wisdom, and you also hope to be recognized by others."
"We can definitely take a video to show you this aspect."
"The attention you are receiving now is just a means for us to attract followers. The popularity of this wave of traffic can only last for a while."
"I am also very clear about this. We need to rely on the audience attracted by this wave of popularity to let them be attracted by our subsequent content."
"Just like a restaurant that becomes popular on Tik Tok, it will eventually attract users to make repeated purchases. After all, it still depends on taste and service."
In this London magic incident, Lawrence is the one who attracts the most attention.
At that time, there were only three people on the stage at the Science and Technology Future Conference.
Song Zhiwen, Lawrence and his fighting opponent.
As Song Zhiwen is a Chinese and a senior executive in the future of science and technology, foreign media will not give him much pictures at all.
It would be nice if he could be mentioned in a few words, and foreign media try to minimize his existence.
As for Lawrence's opponent, he didn't even dare to take off his VR helmet, missing the opportunity to show his face in front of a global audience.
Coupled with Lawrence's thin appearance, pale face and black-rimmed glasses, he is somewhat similar to the prototype in Harry Potter.
The superposition of multiple factors resulted in Lawrence receiving the largest traffic dividend.
Of course, in Lawrence's eyes, this is not a bonus.
Lawrence shook his head: "Forget it, I'm not ready to live under the attention of so many people."
"Even though I wanted to be recognized, I didn't want to be recognized by so many people."
"How should I put it? I'm not mentally prepared for such a change."
Lawrence's tone was very firm: "No need to persuade me anymore."
"But as a friend, I can help you shoot a short video on your tik tok and help you increase the number of followers."
"As for whether you can keep them, it depends on your own ability."
Herman sighed: "Okay, I respect your choice."
"It's just that I feel like I missed a rare opportunity, but that's okay."
"In addition, Kechuang Biotech promises to give you the latest brain-computer connected VR for free."
"Currently, brain-computer connection VR has arrived. I just tried it and it is very good."
"New brain-computer connection technology can already realize most movements in reality."
"This has led to a qualitative leap in the realism of RPG games."
All the audience at the scene received vouchers worth about 1000rmb, and two audience members on the stage received a futureverse2.
The injury expenses of all spectators present at the time were reimbursed by Kechuang Future.
Lawrence then noticed that there was an unpacked brain computer connected to VR on the table next to him.
"Oh." He seemed quite uninterested.
Lawrence was thinking about the water element rushing towards him at that time, and the smell of water in the air was still echoing in his mind.
"Who do you think is responsible for this magical incident in London?
Merlin? Or who? "
Herman shook his head and said, "I don't know, but I can show you a video."
The video was posted by Charles on Facebook at the time and consisted of several segments.
"These videos have been circulating privately recently," Herman said.
That is to say, after the London Magic Incident, Charles's previous posts on Facebook were dug up by someone and spread widely.
After reading it, Lawrence wondered: "Special effects? Or magic?"
Herman responded: "I don't know if it's a special effect or what."
"At that time, someone posted on Facebook, saying that he had gained knowledge about magic, and after a while, he actually cast the spell successfully."
“I can’t find the replies from netizens under that Facebook post, and I can’t tell if it’s a special effect.”
"But I believe it's true."
"Because the post has been blocked, and the blockage of this video on the Internet is quite serious now."
"If you directly send this video to others, they will not be able to see it on their communication software."
"You need to compress the video, rename it, package it and send it to the other party."
"Only the English government can achieve this level of interception."
"Just based on this behavior, I think the authenticity of the video has been greatly improved."
In many cases, the more you remove the blockage, the higher the degree of reality becomes.
Lawrence felt too many doubts: "What happened to the magic this time?"
"Is it more difficult to obtain magic coins recently?"
It has been five years since the magic coin system was launched. As time goes by, people have a clear understanding of the difficulty of obtaining magic coins.
Most people no longer have this dream, and even many major manufacturers have given up investing in this field.
First of all, they don’t understand what they will get, and the inputs and outputs are completely unknown.
I don’t know how much I need to invest to get the corresponding return.
Furthermore, you have too many competitors, so this is a zero-sum game.
Even the giants are like this, let alone ordinary people.
Heman shook his head and said:
"Your question has exceeded my source of information. This may only be known to the government."
"But I'm sure something is very wrong in London recently. All flights in London have been grounded."
"Flights from London to Newcastle have been suspended."
"However, the attention of the whole of England has recently been on life-extending medicines. Apart from the affected flight passengers, not many people care about the suspension of London Airport."
"I smell something different from it. You have to know that the last time all flights in London were grounded was back in December 2020."
Lawrence seemed to suspect that he heard it wrong: "Life extension potion? What is that?"
He wondered if he had been unconscious for ten years, otherwise the life-extending potion would have been released.
Herman patted his head and said, "I forgot to tell you that the big pharmaceutical companies in Europe and China have recently developed a life-extending medicine, which is said to be able to extend life by one to two years."
"It's also the most hotly discussed topic around the world."
The media have stated that by 2050, with the development of science and technology, the global average life expectancy will exceed 100 years.
Life-extending potions have also made the media optimistic.
Lawrence: "It seems that too many things happened in the day when I fainted. Back to the topic just now, what is the official statement about the suspension of London Airport?"
Herman said: "The official statement is of course that this press conference involves superpower owners."
“London Airport needs to cease operations until the killer is found.”
At this time, in the ward upstairs from Lawrence, Song Zhiwen had already processed several documents and held several rounds of remote meetings with Gusu.
The shareholders of Kechuang Future include several leading Internet companies in China and Kechuang Biotechnology.
It has dual headquarters, one in Pengcheng and one in Susu.
Pengcheng's headquarters is mainly responsible for the production and manufacturing of brain-computer connected VR.
The supply chain in the consumer electronics field in the Pearl River Delta is much stronger than that in Suzhou.
All other departments are located in Suzhou.
When Song Zhiwen was in China, he traveled between Gusu and Pengcheng.
You earn a lot but the work intensity is also high.
In a rapidly growing company, it's hard to stay flat.
Domestic Internet companies, such as Sohu, have basically stagnated in their business development. The majority of their profits now come from the game Tianlongbabu produced more than ten years ago, so that their employees can rest assured.
Of course, this also depends on the integrity of the company boss.
Even though Li Miaomiao gave Song Zhiwen a holiday on behalf of the company, he still couldn't take any time off.
"Mr. Song, the company's current opinion is to suspend marketing in the Europa region first, and currently focus on tap water in niche forums."
"In addition, Goose Factory has already communicated that the next finals of "Heroes of Doom" will be held on the Europa continent."
"Apocalypse" has become a phenomenon-level survival game in the field of VR games.
For the first time, the World Championship has more viewers than League of Legends.
“Following this launch, the Face the Americas launch that was originally scheduled to take place in Rio de Janeiro has now been cancelled.”
"Currently, the sales of the second-generation brain-computer connected VR in Greater China have exceeded 2 million. The growth rate has slowed down, and shipments are still at a high level."
"Offline flagship stores nationwide have been spread across the core business districts of all second-tier cities. We are still making internal decisions on whether to expand to third-tier cities."
"In addition, Mr. Song, during your vacation, part of your work will be personally handled by Mr. Miaomiao, and a small part will be assigned to Mr. Rui."
Li Rui is the vice president in charge of supply chain. Since he has the same surname as Li Miaomiao, he is called Mr. Rui in the company.
After listening to the work plan report from his subordinates, Song Zhiwen made some simple arrangements, and then he knew that he could take a good rest in the past two months.
Because his job responsibilities were divided among other executives.
At least during his downtime.
For people who are used to being busy, being free will make them uncomfortable.
Song Zhiwen plans to wait until his health gets better, take advantage of his rare vacation, or take a paid vacation, to travel around the continent of Europe.
...
The reason why the Lancet was chosen for the paper on life-extending drugs instead of other journals with the same name is that among the four major comprehensive medical journals, two belong to Amerikan and two belong to England.
The Lancet, English Journal of Medicine, Journal of the American Medical Association, and New England Journal of Medicine.
The latter two are academic journals of American, and the first two are academic journals in England. Yes, the New England Journal of Medicine was founded by Dr. American.
If you want academic journals to be more influential, they rely on the quality of their papers.
For a paper on life-extending medicine that has attracted the attention of academic circles around the world, the Europa Union will never give it up to Amerikan.
Influence is also part of a country's strength.
China still has a long way to go in the field of academic journals, and there is huge room for development.
"Principles, experimental data and clinical manifestations of life-extending drugs"
After the paper was released, it quickly aroused heated discussion in the academic community, and everyone was discussing the divergent scenarios and applications of the principles mentioned in it.
In particular, Americen's pharmaceutical giants paid special attention to this paper.
Only colleagues in the industry are most aware of the specific value of life-extending medicines.
