Chapter 050: Complete lifting of the ban on game consoles

 Entering the house, Lu An went to the sofa in the living room and sat for a while, taking a laptop to surf the Internet and read news.

  After a while, a news headline caught Lu An's attention.

 The news headline reads: [The 13-year-old ban on game consoles will be officially lifted on June 1. 】

  Lu An immediately clicked in to read the specific content of this news report. After reading it, his eyes lit up. It seemed that the national level had begun to launch a systematic layout for armed humanoid robots.

 There is no doubt that when Lu An demonstrated the control robot to Li Fengting that day in Pengcheng, it must have played a big role.

  Controlling a robot in remote operation mode is basically no different from playing a game. The biggest difference is that the controlled robot is not virtual, but displays a real object.

 In addition, there is also a human-machine collaboration mode, which is more expensive and has higher technical requirements.

 The country does not do multiple-choice questions, it wants both.

  The armed humanoid robots developed by Lu An gave the military great confidence, and the establishment of armed humanoid robots has therefore risen to a strategic level.

 It is worth mentioning that many people have been misled by some so-called popular science articles, thinking that humanoid robots are worthless and useless, and are far less advantageous than non-humanoid robots.

 In fact, the humanoid robot is the most perfect universal machine. It is the optimal solution. Its perfection is reflected in the two aspects of "universality" and "compatibility".

  It is humanoid, which means that it can directly operate all equipment that humans can operate, without any need to make any modifications to the machinery. Humans and humanoid robots can also switch and take over at any time.

  In other words, humanoid robots can choose the compatibility issue between weapons and equipment at the minimum cost.

· With the development of human science and technology so far, countless invented products, equipment, equipment, etc. are almost all designed around people. This is a huge sunk cost that cannot be estimated.

 But humanoid robots can continue to bring value to these sunk costs, which is why humanoid robots can become general-purpose robots.

For example, a rifle can be used by people just picking it up. This gun is designed based on ergonomics, and humanoid robots are also ergonomic, so they can be used by picking it up.

 But non-human machines, such as robot dogs, cannot do this unless a set of modular components specifically designed to use rifles is designed for additional development of technology for robot dogs.

 But this adds extra cost. The biggest problem is that it is not applicable to another scenario. For example, if it is switched to application scenarios such as driving, flying a plane, or sailing a boat, the robot dog will not be able to do it. It can only be done by humans. And the equipment that humans can operate, humanoid robots can also operate.

 This is the advantage of humanoid robots. It is unmatched by any non-humanoid machines in terms of "universality" and "compatibility".

Humanoid robots have always been the ultimate goal of robot form, but they are also the most technically difficult. The resulting robots are very lame, and the immature technology will make them look useless.

 The reason why Li Fengting was extremely shocked when he first saw the robot developed by Lu An was that its technological maturity was beyond his expectation.

 As long as Luan realizes full automation of robots in the future, that is, it completely opens up the technical links in terms of intelligence and makes robots highly intelligent and fully automated, that will be the ultimate form of humanoid robots.

 Hence why the country has decisively raised armed humanoid robots to strategic heights. This is also the reason why Jianing City has changed overnight, and it has used the power of thunder to remove all obstacles for Lu An and Yuanjie Intelligent Control.

Jianing's power group collapsed because they became the resistance to lighting up this technology tree. As a result, the iron fist descended from the sky and struck hard, clearing all resistance and obstacles overnight.

· If the military deploys this kind of armed combat mechanical units on a large scale in the future, it will require soldiers to be able to master the remote operation mode proficiently. People who can play video games, especially game masters, will definitely have an innate advantage.

 Obviously, the country’s decision to completely lift the ban on game consoles has laid a huge foundation, which will help recruit soldiers who can master teleoperation proficiently in the future.

 This can greatly reduce the learning cost and can master this skill faster. Even some talented people can master it in a few minutes.

It is worth mentioning that as early as January 6 this year, the country issued an important document, which mentioned that foreign-funded enterprises are allowed to engage in the production and sales of game and amusement equipment, and game and amusement equipment that pass the content review of relevant departments can be sold to the domestic market.

 This shows that at the beginning of the year, the domestic 13-year ban on the sale of game consoles was lifted, but at that time it was only launched in the prescribed Shanghai test zone.

 The latest regulations issued by the country will be officially lifted on June 1. Lu An remembers that in his previous life, the ban on domestic game consoles was not fully lifted until June 2023, nearly ten years in advance.

  However, this is unexpected and reasonable.

The humanoid robot developed by Lu An is so advanced that it is technologically ahead of its peers around the world and already has military applications.

 And it has great military value. Just the fact that it can achieve zero casualty rate is enough. In future ground wars, just let an army of steel machines push it up.

  There is no need to consider the casualty rate at all, because robots are industrial consumables.

 As long as the industrial industry continues, there is no limit to the explosive force. After coming off the industrial assembly line, they will appear on the battlefield the next day to charge into battle.

 As for a human warrior, it takes more than ten or twenty years from birth to finally being able to go to the battlefield.

After the war, the scrapped armed robots can be sorted and recycled. Some of the parts that are still usable can be put into after-sales support. Those that are completely scrapped can be directly returned to the furnace as scrap metal and turned into the next brand-new armed robots to return to the battlefield.

 Obviously, future soldiers will need to master the skills of controlling robots in combat, and games are helpful in cultivating soldiers to master remote operation skills.

 A person who has never played games since childhood may have a hard time learning it, or it may take more time and cost to master it.

  Unless he has his own talent, but such people must be in the minority.

 As for another person who has been playing game consoles since he was a child, he may be able to get started on the same day and become proficient in a few days.

Furthermore, despite the ban on the sale of game consoles, people still don’t play computer games. Various online games have also begun to develop rapidly in recent years, and there are many ways to play games.

 Hence, after comprehensive consideration, the country made decisive adjustments and no longer restricted game consoles.

 Lifting the ban early is actually a good thing, and it can actually help the development of the domestic chip semiconductor industry, because the current development of games has higher and higher requirements for image quality, and correspondingly, the requirements for hardware equipment are getting higher and higher. Hardware cannot support high image quality.

  Lu An closed the webpage after reading the news. After a while, he saw another piece of news.

This news reported that a domestic communication university announced the establishment of an undergraduate major in "Art and Technology", which is the direction of e-sports design and operations, becoming the first undergraduate-level e-sports major in China.

 This matter should have only appeared for the first time in 2017, but it has appeared now, about three years in advance.

  "It seems that some things are starting to advance, which is good." Lu An nodded secretly. Of course, he was happy to see that technology and civilization could develop at an accelerated pace, which would also save a lot of time.

 But at this moment, there has been huge discussion and attention on the Internet because of the complete lifting of the ban on game consoles and the establishment of an e-sports major in a certain university.

  The vast majority of netizens and players naturally support it strongly, but parents still think that the game is a wild beast, which has caused huge controversy on the Internet.

  …

  The next day, the headquarters of Metaverse Intelligent Control Company.

  Meng Qiuyan came to Lu An's office with several documents.

  "I have compiled a set of plans for the company's top-level design structure. See if there is anything you need to add." Meng Qiuyan put a few documents on the table and said: "This is the top-level design plan, this is the arrangement of the directors and senior supervisors, and this is the people's plan. This is the employee list, this is the incentive plan, and this is the salary adjustment plan."

Yanjie Intelligent Control's current employee scale has reached more than 1,500 people. The original management structure is only suitable for small teams of no more than 100 people, and it is indeed in urgent need of adjustment.

  Lu An first picked up the top-level design plan and opened it to read, then nodded: "They are all pretty good."

Meng Qiuyan's plan is based on Lu An's expectations of building Metaverse Intelligent Control into a social enterprise. Lu An agrees with most of the designers that Meng Qiuyan's values ​​are the same as his.

  Next, Lu An read several documents, and then began to confirm the personnel arrangements of the company's directors, senior supervisors.

 According to this top-level design plan, the board of directors of Metaverse Intelligent Control consists of the chairman, vice chairman, managing director and directors.

  Lu An quickly scanned a series of employees in the company in his mind, and then looked at Meng Qiuyan's recommendation list.

 At the end, Lu An said methodically: "The three vice-chairmen are Jing Xuan, Yu Changle and you."

 Meng Qiuyan nodded, and immediately wrote down the names of Yu Changle, Jing Xuan and herself in the column of vice chairman.

Lu An continued after seeing her finish writing: "The four managing directors are Hu Chengliang, Jiang Yunian, He Liang, and Zheng Houwen."

Lu An continued after a moment: "The five board members are Fang Yuzhou, Yang Yicheng, Zhang Wenjie, Chu Xiao, and Zhang Hezhi . ”

 The chairman of the company is naturally Lu An, who will be the core layer of Metaverse Intelligent Control in the future. A total of 13 people make up the board of directors, 8 of these 13 people are members of the company’s founding team, and the other 5 are senior talents recruited.
