The beginning of a new era
Chapter 1 The Confused in 2020
The New York Times, issued in the last week of 2020, used twenty phrases to define the entire year:
black lives matter
brain link all
blursday
magi
circuit breaker
tag
d
essential workers
flatten the curve
frontline workers
endorphins…
Most of these words revolve around two things.
The arrival of Merlin and the covid-19 pandemic.
Now maybe he shouldn't be called Merlin.
Because Merlin is most likely not his real name, who cares? No matter what his name is, he has brought about earth-shaking changes to the entire Blue Star in the past fifteen years.
2020 is undoubtedly a confusing year. Brain-computer connection technology and super-lasting lithium batteries are undoubtedly telling people that new breakthroughs have been achieved in technology.
The future is bright.
Even though these technologies were developed by a Chinese company.
But at that time, people all over the Western world were confident that it would be extremely easy for us to catch up in these technologies.
However, at the micro level, what is active around us is the never-ending growth of numbers, and the news of medical collapse can be heard everywhere.
At this time, I also learned information about magic.
Even though more than ten years have passed since the magi system was proposed, I still don't understand how to calculate the cosmic coordinate system.
Even the cosmic coordinate system of the planet beneath my feet.
The superposition of all kinds of things caused people at that time to fall into great confusion.
According to data from the 2030 Amerikan Statistics Bureau, among college graduates in 2020, the proportion of taking a gap year is the highest.
In addition to this data, the ANP consumer confidence index that year fell for twelve consecutive months. Even in the month when the brain-computer connected mobile phone was launched, the consumer confidence index was still falling.
The consumer confidence index hit a record low in March 2013 at the end of that year.
The American stock market fell 33% from its high point. You must know that the Federal Reserve had not yet raised interest rates at that time.
But at the same time, there is optimism within the pessimism, and in just five months, Americen's stock market has reached an all-time high.
The five-month recovery delivered an annual return of 164%.
The lack of confidence on the consumer side and the bottoming out on the investment side are both telling me that people are confused in 2020.
The events of 2020 reminded me of an incredible article Drew Dixon wrote on Amazon that contained an interesting thought experiment.
Imagine it's 2007 and a group of research analysts are discussing Amazon's 2020 earnings. One group of analysts (let's call them the "value investing" group) thinks Amazon will have $27 billion in revenue in 2020.
But another group (let's call them the "value speculation" group) thinks Amazon will have $37 billion in revenue at this point.
The two groups disagreed on almost everything. They have different assumptions about expected GDP growth, Amazon's profit margins, and Amazon's 2020 earnings. However, despite their differences, both groups were proven wrong.
Because Amazon’s revenue in 2020 wasn’t $27 billion or $37 billion, it was $386 billion!
2020 is also the eve of a huge change in the future. Everyone is confused, unable to guess or have the ability to speculate on what the future will be like.
From an investment perspective, everyone chooses to vote for big companies and giants, letting them lead them out of the period of confusion. I believe that these once-successful companies will still be successful in the future.
From the perspective of consumption, people do not believe that their future selves will be better off than their current selves, and they choose to save food and clothing to reserve food for the future winter.
But it was different from what everyone expected. Covid-19 quickly disappeared without a trace due to the emergence of specific drugs, but the influence of the mage on Blue Star continues to this day.
It has even profoundly changed all the lifestyles of modern people.
Including the article I am writing now, if it was fifteen years ago, it would have been read by at least one million people, but now it is not seen by ten thousand people.
Chapter 2 The unavoidable scientific and innovative organisms
From the earliest days of the information age, when we mention giants, we must always mention companies like Amerikan. From the earliest Bell Telephone Company, to the later Big Blue IBM, to the two giants Microsoft and Apple in the personal PC era, to the Big4 - Google, Amazon, Apple and Facebook in the mobile Internet era.
These companies allow Americen to grab profits from around the world, and at the same time, they also make people all over the world believe in one thing. Only Americen can lead the future development of Blue Star, and only Americen has the ability to promote the advancement of Blue Star technology.
When did this phenomenon change?
Science and Technology Biotechnology must be an enterprise that cannot be avoided.
At the same time, it is also an enterprise that cannot be avoided on the eve of the new era.
As a starting point for Master in Blue Star, Master is the specific implementation company to implement his own will in Blue Star.
Kechuang Biotechnology has enjoyed too many dividends brought by the impact of technological dimensionality reduction.
So much so that today, there may be people in Blue Star who don’t know about Merlin, Magi, or the Science City in the Lion City, but there will definitely be no people who don’t know about Science and Technology Biotechnology.
Everyone is using Kechuang Biotech’s products and services.
Kechuang Bio is the collective name for all companies in this era, including IBM, Microsoft, Amazon, Apple, Facebook, etc.
With the existence of scientific and technological innovation, the previous giants disappeared like the afterglow of the setting sun on the sea level.
No one will think of American’s technology companies anymore. No one will think that American’s technology companies can achieve virtual worlds, biocomputers, and biocommunications.
Even Amerikan's capitalists don't believe we can do it.
When Kechuang Biotechnology developed a brain-computer connection for mobile phones, Wall Street was rushing to invest in brain-computer connection startups in Silicon Valley, with investment starting from US$20 million.
Even if your company was founded in a garage yesterday with only three people, I would still invest $20 million in you.
All investors are enthusiastic about investing.
After Kechuang Biotech came up with brain-computer connection to VR, the situation began to change, and Wall Street would only believe in some companies with results.
For start-up companies, even if their teams are all PhDs or even professors in related majors who graduated from top universities such as MIT, Stanford, and Princeton, capital will not invest too much money in them.
During this period, Musk's NeuraLink can still enjoy a valuation of US$30 billion, while other brain-computer connection startups cannot enjoy a valuation of US$20 million.
After the release of virtual reality equipment in the future, as long as it is a field that Kechuang Biotech is involved in, or in other words, as long as it is a field that Master is involved in, all capital will give up on this field.
Morgan invested two to three billion US dollars in Neuralink. In the end, they had to sell all Neuralink shares even if they lost money.
And never enter the realm of brain-computer connections again.
The same is true for other investment institutions. The entire brain-computer connection field, VR field and even the entire Internet industry are in depression.
In Chinese terms, a whale is born and all things fall.
Scientific and technological creatures are like whales, plundering all the nutrients from the entire ecosystem.
It is not only Americen’s companies that are affected, but also companies in China.
China's Internet companies and Amerikan's Internet companies are highly similar in terms of how they started, capital operations before and after listing, and the retreat they chose under the influence of the virtual world.
I guess this has something to do with the fact that they were all incubated by Wall Street capital.
China's Internet giant is called BAT. Like Amerikan's Internet giant, BAT retains a small number of people to maintain the normal operation of its main business, and most of its energy is turned to the financial industry.
Both Android and Apple are available. 】
The Internet business is no longer profitable, and it can be seen from their annual report profit sources that they are owned by an Internet giant, and only share the profits of Blue Star 2.
It took less than twenty years for Kechuang Biotech to grow from a company with a paid-in capital of less than US$10 million to the world's only giant.
It has achieved the goals that all Internet companies want to achieve but fail to achieve:
That is to allow all users to live in the ecology provided by themselves.
Google wants to do it, from e-browser, YouTube to Google search, Google Maps, Google App Store and then to the Android system.
Microsoft also wants to do the same, from operating systems to desktop entertainment Xbox to its massive acquisition of Blizzard.
Not to mention Apple, the Apple family is committed to building all-round integrated products from software to hardware.
It's just that no matter how hard these companies try, it's impossible for users to only use their products, but Kechuang Biotech has done it.
With the help of the virtual world, which is a carrier on Blue Star that only has concepts but no physical objects, people can meet most of the needs in the real world in the virtual world.
In Blue Star II, a Blue Star world that is close to reality is built, and the services provided are more than ten times cheaper than those in the real world.
I can’t even remember how long it’s been since I drove a car in the real world.
In Blue Star II, you can appear on any street or section of Blue Star, choose any vehicle that has existed in history, and step on the accelerator to the angle you want.
Even if the car crashes and people are killed, it is just a reload.
I know that people who read this article will think that there is something wrong with me. Isn’t this kind of life good?
I feel that as the editor-in-chief of the New York Times, I can enjoy a quality of life that is almost the same as the virtual world even in the real world. For most people who are struggling to make ends meet, the virtual world has greatly enriched them. the spiritual world and the material world.
It’s not that I hate virtual worlds, I just don’t like the feeling that everyone lives in a virtual world.
Although I typed this article word by word in front of a computer in the virtual world.
Back to Kechuang Bio, Kechuang Bio allows people to see the power of technology, and the power of technology can be seen at a glance.
Technology is the core competitiveness and most powerful moat of an enterprise.
So much so that in the real world, investment demand has shrunk extremely, and all industrial capital will ask a question before investing: Where are your technical barriers?
Technology has become a concern for all contemporary investors.
Chapter 3: Big reshuffle in the food industry
After the virtual world came out, all industries were pessimistic.
It is believed that demand will shrink. After people are satisfied in the virtual world, will they still need satisfaction in the real world?
Only the food industry is optimistic.
It is believed that the virtual world still cannot provide enough energy supplement for people in the real world.
Everyone feels that spring is coming for the takeout and catering industries.
Originally, over the past two decades, as takeout became more popular, fewer and fewer people chose to cook for themselves.
Even in New York, where the delivery fee for a takeout fluctuates around $10, the takeout industry is still growing at a rapid rate of 50% per year.
But what I didn't expect was that after Blue Star 2 began to be put into use, it would cooperate with the large-scale biological communication network.
The first to be shuffled was the food industry.
McDonald's, KFC, and Starbucks, which have existed for hundreds of years, suffered unprecedented huge losses that year.
At the same time, two years later, Starbucks became the first giant to fall in the food industry.
What the virtual world brings is the complexity of taste. As long as you can reproduce the taste, you can replicate the taste in the virtual world.
For example, in the real world, when we develop a dish, it is difficult for me to know whether everyone will like its taste.
But in the virtual world, I can taste it to countless people and get feedback from them.
If there are enough positive reviews, then I can officially incorporate the dish into my real-world menu for users.
People have known for a long time that region, race, and growth environment will cause differences in a person's taste.
The virtual world allows catering groups to customize flavors, including fried chicken, which seems to have a recipe that can be used for hundreds of years, but will still be defeated by more customized flavors.
As for why Starbucks was the first giant to fall, it was because your competitors were able to provide users with the flavors they wanted.
Users can fully taste dozens of coffee flavors online without ingesting any caffeine.
After users select the flavor they want, they can just go offline to pick up the food.
Luckin Coffee, which used this strategy, forced Starbucks out of business in just one year.
As for why Starbucks doesn't adopt the same strategy, I think you should ask Howard.
However, I guess that the price was not negotiated, and Luckin chose to sell a large part of its shares to Ahri in exchange for the permission to sense and record Blue Star 2.
However, Starbucks has been unable to negotiate prices with these powerful Internet giants.
But the good news is that Apple has acquired the bankrupt Starbucks, and we can see the rebirth of Starbucks in the near future.
In addition to the catering industry using feeling input, and then providing this feeling to the user, allowing the user to determine the taste he wants most, and then provide it to the other party in the real world after confirmation.
There are also some industries that try to use the virtual world to achieve their own goals, such as
marijuana.
Meta has cooperated with the Marijuana Group to provide various flavors of Marijuana for Amerikan’s virtual world users.
