Chapter 273 The Second World "Enclosure" Wave Sweeping the World
Those who are paying attention to the Developer Conference are also domestic capital market investors, including Wall Street capital consortiums.
At this moment, the previous major European magnesium super consortiums continuously shot their thighs.
They began to think about the conditions proposed at that time. No wonder Lu An didn't care about them at all, and he didn't even want to see them.
Now it seems that the conditions for promising a market value of US$3 trillion were at that time.
This seemingly extremely generous number is actually not qualified at all. The value of Yuanjie Intelligent Control is definitely more than this price.
If we look at long-term expectations, this company's humanoid robot business alone is estimated to have a starting value of US$10 trillion.
Now that brain-computer terminals have emerged, the future imagination of this business is no worse than that of humanoid robots. What's more, Metaverse Intelligent Control's other business sectors, such as solid-state lattice batteries, AA metal, etc., can become world-class giants if these businesses are stripped off individually.
Should I say it or not, capital is really greedy for seeing Yuanjie Intelligent Control.
But let’s talk about the developer conference at this moment.
"The first is the safety boundary of physical interaction." Lu An on the stage pressed the small remote control in his hand to change the slide, and a series of icons and parameters appeared on it.
"In the real world, our skin, bones and nerves will protect us. In the digital world of the Metaverse, the core of this protection is composed of three rulers. "
The first yardstick is the mechanics and pain feedback standards.
The standard clearly stipulates the upper limit of the intensity of physical feedback. For example, the force feedback that simulates a "shoulder tap" is limited to less than 0.5 Newtons per square centimeter, and the threshold for producing clear pain is set at 2 Newtons per square centimeter, which requires explicit authorization from the user to turn it on.
Any feedback force that may simulate injuries such as fractures, severe lacerations, etc. is strictly prohibited.
Then there is the progressive prompt system. For any interaction that may exceed the safety threshold, such as a high-speed impact, the system will provide a mild tactile warning 0.5 seconds in advance, such as a slight vibration, so that the user has time to prepare.
Finally, there is the emergency interruption protocol. Once the user's heart rate, nerve excitement and other physiological indicators are detected to be abnormal, or the user issues an emergency thought command, such as a strong "stop" thought, all sensory input will fade out smoothly in about 0.1 seconds to ensure the user's safe "return".
Lu An pressed the small remote control again and looked at the new content displayed on the giant screen behind him.
"The second ruler is the chemical sensory quantification standard, which is the more abstract sense of taste and smell. We cannot directly copy chemical molecules, but we can standardize the sensory symbols."
"Some developers at the scene felt refreshed by this new solution.
The basic taste spectrum decomposes taste into the basic dimensions of sweet, sour, salty, bitter, umami and spicy.
Each dimension is set with an intensity level of 0-100, and developers can synthesize complex flavors by adjusting the intensity and combination of these "six flavors".
For example, the taste code of "virtual strawberry" might be [sweet: 75, sour: 25, umami: 5, salty: 0, bitter: 0, spicy: 0].
The olfactory molecule library has established a "standard olfactory library" containing thousands of basic odors, such as "grass", "sea water", "roasted coffee", "pine wood", etc.
Each smell has a corresponding code and intensity level. Developers can combine complex environmental smells through "mixing".
Its standards strictly limit the maximum intensity and usage scenarios of foul odors and pungent odors.
In terms of sensory consistency, the standard requires that visual, auditory, taste/olfactory feedback must be consistent. To take an extreme case, when you see a pile of answers in the digital world, what you smell cannot be sweet, right?
"Last and most important, is to protect our brains from being overwhelmed by the flood of information, which is the third ruler, sensory load management." Lu An's tone became extremely serious.
The first is bandwidth grading, which divides virtual experiences according to sensory data flow density into: G level, that is, all ages, low load; P
level, which requires guidance, medium load; R level, that is, restricted level, high load, requiring specific hardware support and user qualification certification.
The second is fatigue monitoring. The system will monitor the user's neural activity indicators in real time.
When signs of sensory fatigue appear, the detail density of environmental sensory information will be actively reduced. For example, reducing distant texture details, reducing the complexity of environmental sounds, or prompting users to take a rest.
Finally, there is the pure mode. All brain-computer terminal platform applications must provide a "pure mode" that can be turned on with one click. In this mode, all non-core sensory feedback will be blocked. For example, unnecessary touch and smell can provide purification for users with sensitive senses or those who need to focus.
In the next half hour or so, Lu An successively announced and elaborated on several other protocol standard templates.
At the end, Lu An looked around the audience and said with piercing eyes: "These standards are not shackles to restrict the creativity of developers, but the cornerstone to protect every user's experience and physical and mental safety, and the foundation for the sustainability, health and prosperity of this new world."
“Metaverse Intelligent Control will open up all standard underlying interfaces and testing tools. From today on, any application that hopes to access or adapt to the brain-computer terminal platform must pass strict compliance certification.”
He finally said: “We are writing history together. We are not just writing code, we are creating human consciousness. The extension of the delineation of safe boundaries is to establish warm rules for the residence of digital souls. Let us jointly build this new world responsibly." There was a burst of warm applause. However, among the applause, those members of the OMG enterprise group who applauded were somewhat reluctant, but this could not be controlled by their personal will.
At this moment, no one doubts anymore that Lu An and Yuanjie Intelligent Control are no longer just technology providers, but also the rule makers in this just-opened "Internet of Consciousness Era".
Of course, Lu An and Yuanjie Intelligent Control would not call themselves that, but they are the core forces guarding the border.
In this new racing field, if Magnesium West wants to be on the table, it can only abide by the standards set by Metaverse Intelligent Control.
In the future, even if OMG’s technology company develops a brain-computer terminal device that is comparable to the world’s intelligent control development, it will be impossible to create a new one from scratch in the digital ecological field.
Even if it is forcibly implemented, third-party developers are unlikely to be willing to adapt. To say the least, they will only become a minority.
Because others have invested a huge cost of silence in the digital world of the Metaverse, just like today’s computers, everyone can only use the von Neumann architecture.
If you come up with another architecture system, there is a high probability that you can only play with it yourself. Others are not willing to reinvest energy and cost to learn a brand new architecture system and then migrate their business there.
Unless your new architecture system completely defeats the von Neumann architecture in all aspects and can easily subvert it, others will not use your new architecture system, which will be a huge disadvantage.
After the developer conference, all major enterprises and manufacturers around the world, without exception, downloaded the underlying interfaces and testing tools of all standard protocols announced by Metaverse Intelligent Control, and then worked overtime overnight to adapt their products.
All domestic Internet manufacturers announced their access to the Metaverse digital world on the same day, and their applications are adapted to the brain-computer terminal platform.
Many major manufacturers have been doing this for a long time, but it was not announced before due to confidentiality agreements. Now it is only announced in a procedural way.
Less than 72 hours after the Developer Conference, a wave dubbed by the industry as the “Metaverse Digital World Enclosure Movement” swept across the world at an alarming speed.
Overseas, giant companies such as Facebook, Google, Amazon, Disney, and Netflix have announced to join this wave, adapting applications for brain-computer terminal platforms and connecting to the digital world of the Metaverse.
The most rapid response, which can even be said to be the most intense, is undoubtedly the global game industry.
Major domestic and foreign game giants released announcements through their official websites and social media.
R Star parent company: Technology-driven dreams are our creed. We are excited to announce that we have reached a strategic cooperation with Metaverse Intelligent Control and will fully explore new interactive narratives and game experiences based on the brain-computer terminal platform and the Metaverse digital world.
Goose Factory: Games are not only entertainment, but also a window connecting reality and the future. We are actively adapting some of our leading IP
to brain-computer terminal platforms, and forming a special team to develop game products native to this new platform. A new "metaverse" is opening, and we are already on the way.
Blizzard Entertainment: Imagine instead of just clicking a mouse, you feel the cold of Northrend, listen to the whispers of the void, and command your army with a single thought. The future of gaming is here, and we’re committed to bringing our world digitally to life in the Metaverse.
Official announcements from major manufacturers are like starting guns, instantly igniting the enthusiasm and anxiety of the entire industry.
Immediately afterwards, more extensive follow-up followed.
Capcom announced that it will bring its classic IP into the digital world of the Metaverse, promising that players will be able to "personally feel" the air vibrations and earth tremors caused by the roar of the dragon, "smell" the moist atmosphere of the ancient forest, and use their consciousness to guide weapons to perform complex combos.
Square Enix announced to restart some classic scenes in the "Final Fantasy" series as explorable ruins in the digital world of the metaverse, and began to develop a new chapter designed specifically for brain-computer terminal interaction.
E-sports games have also reached a crossroads. Riot Games announced the establishment of a "brain-computer terminal version" task force to study the tactical changes of "League of Legends" under a new interactive mode.
When releasing a skill no longer requires buttons and mouse, but relies on conscious reaction to lock and activate instantly, the game's strategic depth and upper limit of operation will be redefined.
Independent studios are the most enthusiastic. For small and medium-sized and even independent developers, now is a historical opportunity to stand on the same starting line as the established giants in the industry. It can be said to be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Seize this opportunity, and you may be able to stand out and become a new generation of industry giants.
Thousands of small teams have not made any major announcements, but they have all remained silent and devoted themselves to the development of native content in the digital world of the Metaverse without hesitation.
In addition, game engine giants Unity and Unreal-Engine also quickly announced that they will develop beta versions and optimization plug-ins of software development toolkits for brain-computer terminal platforms.
Just two weeks after the brain-computer terminal went online, another major tipping point was reached.
Fog Mirror Company, which has entered the world's major game companies with the game "Machine War", organized a small-scale exhibition match. The competition process was broadcast live online, completely subverting the global players' understanding of "games".
The live broadcast screen is divided into two parts.
One side is the traditional game interface, and the other side is the first-person metaverse digital world perspective of the two star players.
What the audience sees is no longer the players typing on the keyboard and mouse expressionlessly, but in the virtual battlefield, swallowing saliva due to nervousness, clenching their fists due to successful kills, and eyes flashing with excitement.
Through the sensory sharing mode, the audience at the brain-computer terminal could vaguely "feel" the violent vibrations in the game like an earthquake at that moment, as well as the majestic power contained in the shock waves that shattered everything!
Although it is only an extremely weak trace, the immersive impact cannot be given by any traditional screen or speakers.
After the game, a senior e-sports commentator wrote in his column:
"If we used our fingers to control the characters before, today, we have witnessed the players using their souls to become heroes. This exhibition game completely defines the upcoming era of consciousness games."
Games from the old era still exist, but they seem to be labeled as "traditional" overnight.
And a new virtual entertainment ocean, full of infinite possibilities, with human consciousness as the boat, is unfolding a magnificent picture in front of all players.
In terms of the domestic capital market, Wanxiang Huitong's stock price has staged a super main rise, and has easily exceeded the trillion market capitalization mark with continuous gains.
After the one-digit daily limit was opened on the first trading day after the holiday, it has been on the way to ten consecutive one-digit daily limit.
After the opening of the market the next day, it once again weakened to a strong position and closed the daily limit. It went out of 12 consecutive boards, and then went out of two exchanges of hands, and finally out of 14 consecutive daily limits. It was a daily limit throughout October. The next day after 14 consecutive boards, it further reached a price of 5932.52 yuan, pushing the peak market value to 2.81 trillion yuan.
Wanxiang Huitong surpassed the number one bank in the world and became the number one stock in the A-share market by market capitalization.
Now looking back at the price of 472.60 yuan in the first half of the year, it is an absolutely epic gold pit.
In just six months to the current high of 5932.52 yuan, the cumulative increase has reached +1155.29%, a full 11.5 times increase.
The main winner in this section is Junyi Venture Capital.
Zheng Hongyi originally chose to study the related industry chain of Yuanjie Intelligent Control. When the share price of Wanxiang Huitong fell below 500 yuan, he bought more than 20 billion yuan at the bottom. Now it has become more than 200 billion yuan in half a year.
His LPs now completely believe in him. No matter what he says, they no longer have any objections. After all, the results are there.
No one would have thought that Wanxiang Huitong’s share price dropped to 4.39 yuan three and a half years ago, with a total market value of just over 2 billion yuan. It was once thought that it would face the risk of ST delisting, but now it has become a super giant with a volume of 2.81 trillion yuan.
If someone had bought it at the bottom price of 4.39 yuan and got it now, in less than four years, the income would have reached a terrifying +135037.13%, a full 1350 times.
Even if it cost 10,000 yuan at the time, it is now more than 13.5 million yuan.
But the biggest winner in Wanxiang Huitong is Lu An’s good brother Qin Yiyun.
Hyphew, he won directly. He holds 47% of the shares of Wanxiang Huitong. Now the company's stock price has skyrocketed, and his worth has also soared past one trillion, reaching an astonishing 1.32 trillion, which is equivalent to more than 200 billion in US dollars.
The surge in wealth in October allowed Qin Yiyun to easily surpass Gates and become the world's richest man on the global rich list. He also broke records one after another, becoming the first super-rich man whose worth exceeded US$100 billion and US$200 billion.
But everyone knows that Qin Yiyun is only the richest man on the surface.
Since Metaverse Intelligent Control has not been listed, the company's current net assets at the end of the period have not even exceeded 1 trillion yuan. From this point of view, Lu An's net worth is still lower than Qin Yiyun.
However, anyone with a discerning eye knows that this company is of immeasurable value.
Wanxiang Huitong's current market value of 2.81 trillion, of which at least 2.6 trillion is supported by its 15% stake in Metaverse Intelligent Holdings.
In other words, if measured based on this, Yuanjie Intelligent Control’s current valuation will not be less than 20 trillion yuan, which is equivalent to 3 trillion U.S. dollars in U.S. dollars.
In the first half of the year, several major European magnesium super consortiums promised that if Metaverse Intelligent Control is listed in the United States, it will increase the company's market value to US$3 trillion in the next five to ten years.
Looking at losses now, if this company had been listed, including the bubble premium, it would now be no less than 3 trillion US dollars.
