Crazy is obviously not just a consumer.

Far away from the Silicon Valley on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, watching the "carnival" that happened on the other side of the ocean, the cicadas are crying.

I don't know how many American consumers made a special flight to China to attend the conference. For the two days of Facebook and Twitter, almost three of every ten messages were discussing this hv-1.

There is almost no doubt that if this gadget is introduced to the United States, it will inevitably set off a new round of Internet industry. More than 90% of online users will be willing to pay for this not expensive technology!

In Menlo Park, Calif., in the building of Facebook's headquarters, Zuckerberg is watching the report from the secretary, and his heart beats badly.

On the one hand, because of stimulation, on the one hand, it is naturally jealous.

At the end of last year, they just completed the division of the virtual reality device development business of their vr company oculus, and the entire virtual reality business was a little late.

As for the blushing nature, it is not necessary to say that it is impossible to see the sensation caused by this immersive virtual reality technology in the Chinese market and the envious eyes in the eyes of North American consumers.

Just then, a knock on the door outside the office.

Closing the report in his hand, Zuckerberg bowed his head to her secretary and signaled her to go outside to pour a cup of coffee for herself, clearing her throat and opening her mouth.

"Please come in."

The door opened, and a middle-aged man with gold-rimmed glasses and thin hair came in.

"I don't quite understand what you mean," went straight to Zach Burke. The man put his hands on the table and said with excitement. "The hv-1 helmet has been successful across the sea. It proves that immersive virtual reality devices have a broad market, but you have cut off our R&D department! I don't understand what you think?!"

Standing in front of Zuckerberg is not someone else, it is Dr. Sang Jiadi, chief technology officer of oculus. As early as nearly a decade ago, he led the oculus research and development team to layout the future for Facebook.

However, what happened these days was almost to give up his heart disease.

The entire R&D department was cut, and the oculus company had only one empty shell, except that the entire company's structure remained intact, with several poor patents, and occasionally sold several "old-age" vr glasses. There is nothing left to solve the problem for the users.

"Don't be excited."

In the face of Sanjadi’s question, Zuckerberg smiled slightly and handed the doctor a glass of water. He watched him take a sip and breathed back and calmed down, and continued to speak without hesitation.

"If I give you a year, do you have a few confidences to defeat Star Technology, bypass their patent barriers, and use the nerve-accessible vr equipment you developed to grab the North American market ahead of them?"

Listening to the sharp question Zuckerberg throws, Sanjaydi's momentum is slightly stagnation.

Although he wanted to bluff, but in the face of the boss's eyes, he finally did not mention this courage, silence for a while, barely squeezed a word out of his mouth.

"...very difficult."

Even if he does not want to admit it, it is a truth.

If the gap is not big, there is still the possibility of catching up. However, the current situation is that no company in Silicon Valley has mastered the core technology of the phantom system launched by Star Technology, and even the door has not touched it.

In fact, there is no way to master it.

In addition to hardware, software does not require registration for patents. All calculations are done in the cloud. I want to make a similar system in the cottage unless I can get into the server.

Now companies that want to make virtual reality hardware can only choose two ways, either completely give up this idea, or honestly become a younger brother, join the standards they have developed, produce vr helmets that are fully compatible with the phantom system, and honestly For each vr helmet on the "Starry Sky Tax".

"But... don't we just watch the Chinese people take the entire market away from our eyes?"

The secretary who happened to go out to make coffee came back.

Upon hearing the subordinate question, Zuckerberg just smiled and took the coffee from his secretary. After taking a sip, he said.

"It is impossible to steal the entire market, so they can't get in. They will enter the US market sooner or later, and we can fully grasp this opportunity and get a share from them. Although you understand my anxiety, we understand There is too much backwardness in vr technology, and it is unwise to make a hard time with them... After all, Facebook is our core business, isn't it? Mr. Sanjadi."

Sanjadi’s throat moved and wanted to say something, but in the end he did not say anything.

The reason why he and other partners had sold the shares of oculus to Zuckerberg was because he believed that this visionary leader in science and technology would lead them to the future.

Unexpectedly, their opponents just showed their fangs. The president who respected him turned to cut his own skills and gave up the technical route they had studied for many years.

Although he also knows that this is a matter of no doubt, he has not produced convincing results and has his own problems, but such an ending still makes him feel like a heartache.

Did not care about the sad expression on Sang Jiadi's face, Zuckerberg continued to pick up the report on the table and looked at it, and suddenly said.

“I heard that the phantom system has a large dependence on the speed of the network?”

"...It seems that there is such a saying. After all, the phantom system is mainly based on cloud computing technology," Sanjiadi hesitated. "In terms of Warwick's hv-1 helmet, they adopted the main scheme of their own China. Weihaisi's self-produced communication base brings connectivity to virtual reality networks. In terms of compatibility, it is also optimized for their own routers, communication base stations and other hardware devices."

Zuckerberg touched his chin, and his eyes suddenly shone with a different light.

“If we can help their equipment enter North America.”

"This is impossible!" Sanjadi looked at Zuckerberg strangely. "Communication hardware has always been the most sensitive piece. The Ministry of Commerce will not agree. It will be agreed back by 10,000 steps. The White House and the Congress will also Try everything to see them out."

"I know this is very difficult, but... is not hopeless, isn't it? This is an opportunity to keep up with the rhythm of the world. Are you willing to watch our network fall behind?" The index finger knocked on the table. Zuckerberg said to himself, "We can't do it by ourselves, so we need allies."

At this time, he suddenly thought of a phone call.

That phone belongs to a young rich man.

Of course, unlike other rich people, in addition to being purely rich, he is the new owner of the Boston Consortium.

Although low enough, Zuckerberg is very aware of the energy of that person. Whether in the financial world or in politics, that guy can be regarded as a big man with a head and face. The huge network of people he has mastered is simply incomparable to the rich and powerful.

Although he and that person only handed over the business card at a certain reception, but from that person's interest in the new technology, they seem to have the opportunity to cooperate.

And this is a good opportunity.

Thinking of this, Zuckerberg’s heart suddenly warmed up.

"In short, it will be fine for me to give this matter, you just do your own thing."

"In the future, oculus's business will focus on the production of virtual reality access equipment. We directly adopt the technical standards of Star Technology..."

"As for how to cooperate specifically, I will talk to them personally."

......

One million helmets sold out in one day, and the turnover of 12 billion a day even shook Wall Street in North America.

However, if anyone thinks that the turnover of 12 billion is already amazing enough, it can only be said that he has no knowledge of Warwick Group's business.

In fact, the hv-1 helmet is only part of Warwick's layout around virtual reality technology. Although it has shown enough money to make money, in fact, even the big source of profit is not.

What they really make money is the carbon-based communication baseband used in hv-1, and the neural modem that is compatible with the phantom system. These key hardware.

Nowadays, only the Jiangcheng Semiconductor Industrial Park can be produced in the world. Even if it is a helmet that has not been put on sale, many of the things that cannot be produced are purchased from their factories.

These industries will bring them more than a hundred billion market share in the future. Even if you have to pay a lot of royalties to Star Technology, the profits are enough for them to earn a lot of money...

Just as the whole world is crazy about the launch of the phantom system, Lu Zhou, who is the father of virtual reality technology, is quite calm and low-key.

Although every day, I can receive a lot of Aite's reminders or private letters on the bib, but this professor Lu, who has always been happy to share the joy with the fans, seems to have nothing to see this time, and a message has not responded. .

In fact, it is not that he deliberately avoided these news, but he did not see it purely.

He has been in the lab all these days, screaming at a little gadget...

Although this stuff may not be as amazing as virtual reality technology.

But when it comes to its technical content and its impact on the global information industry, it is probably not bad, or even worse than virtual reality technology...
