"Hello everyone, I'm very excited right now. Behind me is the rocket launch base that took five years to build at the Huagui Base.

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 Mars landing mission 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 videos 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 a return mission.

The third landing on Mars will be launched at about the same time as China, because there is only that 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. The official competition stage 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 market response is now 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 final stage 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 suspense will be revealed in these two months. "

The Mecha Fighting Conference created by Goose Factory and Kechuang Biotechnology only takes place for two months of the year and takes 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 broadcasts 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 it becomes highlighted.

Information is becoming increasingly fragmented.

On the contrary, the gaming industry has benefited from the popularity of VR and 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 are unplayable at first glance due to their shoddy graphics.

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

However, even for 3A masterpieces, various in-app purchases will become popular in 2031.

Like in-app purchases of skins, this kind of setting that does not affect the fairness of the game has become a normal operation.

“According to internal news, Kechuang Biotech 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 good 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 he was satisfied with, and then walked directly into the conference room from his 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 tied to resources such as medical care and education.

The demand is gone, and there is nothing to force the bottom. Both asset prices and rents of office buildings have entered a downward channel.

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. Now many young people no longer consider commuting time.

In this era, even Lianjia’s house viewings are done through 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. They 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. 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 fiscal dependence below 50%, among which the lowest dependencies are Pengcheng, Shenhai and Yanjing.

Four years later, the world's land finance is completely out of control, and property taxes have begun to be implemented on a pilot 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 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 but organic unity in China.

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

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 Bio. 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, Kechuang Biotech's market value exceeded Apple's, 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.

It only improves the chip processing speed and display effect, and most consumers cannot detect this improvement through their senses.

Consumers will buy it. When they buy brain-computer-connected VR, they will still recognize the brand of Kechuang. This is brought about by our always being at the forefront of technology.

Whether consumers will still buy it this way in the future, I don’t know.

Consumer trust is limited, we need to come up with countermeasures, and everyone can speak freely. We are still more than half a year away from the autumn conference. "

Li Miaomiao has been in the executive position of Kechuang Biotechnology for ten years, and has been the general manager for more than five years.

Such a long time is enough for her to establish her own prestige, not to mention the absence of Zheng Li.

Compared with four years ago, Li Miaomiao's appearance has not changed at all. She is still young and beautiful, no different from a girl who has just graduated from college.

The only difference is temperament. The temperament cultivated by living in high positions for a long time is not possessed by ordinary people.

After Li Miaomiao finished speaking, the atmosphere was very depressing.

“I think we should not adopt a low-key posture, but should adopt a cold attitude.

This generation of consumers may be dissatisfied, but due to past inertia, FutureVerse will still achieve good sales.

As long as we can achieve technological breakthroughs and implement emotional feedback in the next generation of products, consumers' trust in us will return.

Iteration of technology itself is very difficult, especially since we are at the forefront of brain-computer connection technology.

Musk’s Neuralink is the most cutting-edge company besides us in brain-computer connection technology, but the latest laboratory technology released has only reached the level of our first-generation brain-computer connection VR technology.

Regarding the next generation of brain-computer connection technology, it would be great to find a marketing company that can handle marketing specifically for how difficult it is to achieve breakthroughs in our technology. "

So said the executive with flowers as the background.

Li Miaomiao asked: "How can we ensure that the next generation of futureverse can successfully carry the new generation of brain-computer connection technology?"

The executives here wanted to say that it would be absolutely fine if Zheng Li presided over it.

In the past four years, Zheng Li has been basically invisible within Kechuang Biotechnology. No one knows what research direction he is leading.

Even if they are assigned to the following research topics, the researchers only get a very small part of them.

You can't even see a leopard through a tube.

Li Wanqing is now solely responsible for the research and development of brain-computer connection technology.

But no one of the executives here dared to say this. The executives who mentioned it before were marginalized soon after.
