Reborn to create a virtual world

So far, none of Xingzhe's projects has any competitors.However, according to Fulks' latest announcement, it is clear that their competitors will appear soon.

"Intelligent control, capable of dialogue, with an electronically controlled metal skeleton, can carry out certain autonomous activities... It seems that it can really pose a threat to us." Ju Mingfeng looked at the news and said.

Lin Shu also looked serious, and said: "Actually, the key point is how intelligent these dolls can be, and what kind of activities they can perform. There are great differences in different degrees."

"Competition will emerge sooner or later. After all, our technology is not very advanced. At present, the company's technology accumulation will not surpass the top domestic companies for more than three years. If the investment and manpower are sufficient, this time can even be shortened to One year." Lin Shu said.

Although cheating is enabled, a person's strength is very limited.No matter how hard he tried, it was worth the power of three or four people, but it couldn't match the strength of dozens or hundreds of people.

Especially when it comes to projects that are not difficult but have a huge workload, what Lin Shu can do is no different from that of ordinary employees with general professional skills. For example, the construction of artificial intelligence logic systems is a meticulous and huge job. Lin Shu himself At most, it plays a coordinating role, but there is actually very little that can be done.

There are also some jobs, such as art design or plot writing, which are even things he is not good at at all, and his work efficiency is not as good as most of the employees.

However, Xingzhe's technical level is still leading at home and abroad, not because he has too many black technologies, but because he has a precise vision and unique methods in project management and talent promotion.This is the most basic and important part of a company. Xingzhe relies on these, not the so-called golden finger leading everyone.

So he is neither afraid of someone learning from him, imitating him, nor afraid of others' technical accumulation surpassing him.

Rebirth novels are very popular these days. There are always authors who think that they can make a lot of money with a little prophecy, but in fact that is simply impossible.Chen Tianqiao acted as the agent of Legend, and the method of taking advantage of the situation became a classic case in the textbook, but did he earn hundreds of millions by virtue of this method?No, he still relies on every important or small decision and long-term management.Ma Huateng imitated OICQ to develop Penguin, but Penguin is obviously more popular with most Chinese netizens than OICQ or MSN. It would be incorrect to attribute these momentums purely to an earlier seizure of the market.Because Penguin does have various advantages, and it has a very precise grasp of the psychology of many users. It is truly the top social platform that has been made into an integration of communication and entertainment.

So Lin Shu is not afraid of peer competition.For him, the technology that should be accumulated has been accumulated, and the products that can be dedicated have been dedicated.He had done the best he could, and Fulks couldn't have done better.If they really have a more outstanding product, it is not humanly possible, and Lin Shu can only face it head-on.

He analyzed Zheng Fangcheng: "I am confident in the intelligence of our products. As for other aspects, we can analyze their respective advantages and disadvantages. First of all, joint dolls are joint dolls after all. The performance is definitely not as smooth and natural as our smart partner."

Zheng Fangcheng nodded and said, "There must be a big difference between a real doll and an animation."

Lin Shu continued: "But they also have advantages that we can't match. Compared with projection crystals, dolls can be hugged and touched, which is unmatched by our intelligent system. At most we have the option of simulated interaction, and we also have separated by a layer of cold crystals."

Ju Mingfeng said at this time: "Why don't we think about it this way, which type of consumer group is most attractive to hugs or physical contact?"

"Child?"

"elder?"

"Old people probably don't like this type of doll, right? The jointed doll actually doesn't feel good in the hand, and it's small. I think it's more comfortable to hold a large doll if you want to hug it."

Lin Shu thought for a while before saying: "In fact, according to the past consumption orientation, the main target customers of joint dolls should be teenage girls who have left the scope of children, and adult women who have already worked and have good financial ability. .”

"I think our direction is wrong." Ju Mingfeng said suddenly, "The positioning of joint dolls is actually to dress up dolls rather than decorate or sleep with dolls, so we don't need to consider it in terms of being able to touch it. Since it is a costume doll, the main function of this kind of doll should be to change clothes, pose, and maybe shoot. You know what I thought?"

Lin Shu replied: "Play house?"

Ju Mingfeng snapped his fingers: "Bingo! That's it." Then he continued, "If I were Fulks' designer, I would design two modes for the doll, one is free movement mode, and the other is The second is a full control mode... The advantage of joint dolls over ours is that they can interact with the outside world instead of touching such details."

Lin Shu imagined for a while, and found that Ju Mingfeng's judgment was obviously correct.

Unlike smart companions who are doomed to be trapped in a small projection crystal, articulated dolls with solid bodies obviously have more room for movement.They can not only interact with each other, but also with the surrounding environment and objects.It sounds like nothing more than that, but maybe only lonely people who live alone so lonely that they can only raise pets to masturbate can understand. On a silent night, living alone in an empty room, or wandering in a foreign land or alone, this kind of Under the circumstances, there is an existence around me who can make some noise by itself, so how different is that.

Moreover, this kind of smart doll has two very important advantages compared with pets. One is that they will not die even if they are neglected to feed and care, and the other is that they can carry out basic communication.

Don't underestimate communication.People often say that cats and dogs have the IQ of children aged two to seven, but they do not understand human language and cannot communicate with people. The satisfaction they can have with humans in communication is much different.

Even if smart dolls can only give simple replies to users most of the time, as long as they can respond, the meaning to users is different.There are many times in the life of an ordinary person who need to talk, and a smart doll that can respond is obviously better than a small animal that cannot respond, and it will make people have a stronger desire to talk.

Considering this aspect, the smart articulated dolls are indeed in direct competition with them.

The three of them were silent for a while, and then Zheng Fangcheng suddenly said: "But we also have our own advantages. For example, in terms of skills, animation can show them, but joint puppets may not show them... No, there is definitely no way to show them. skills, such as cooking and dancing, we can always add new data packs, add new actions and new recipes, joint dolls can’t do it!”

Lin Shu nodded and said, "That's it. So we and the other party generally have their own advantages. If I have to say it, my advantage is actually greater. Next, it depends on their specific intelligence settings... The level of the degree will determine the intensity of competition between us and the other side."

Then he asked Zheng Fangcheng: "Is Fulks open for pre-sale?"

Zheng Fangcheng said: "Currently it is only advertising, and it has not yet been sold. It is said that it will be on the shelves at the end of the month."

Lin Shu said: "Let's buy a few and take a look after the order is open. We need to see the real thing to make a judgment on the specific situation."

Afterwards, when the IS series of intelligent joint dolls came on the shelves, Zheng Fangguo sent someone to order a set right away.

Overseas ordering takes a little longer than domestic ordering, but thanks to the development of the postal industry, Lin Shu still saw the real thing in early April.

This morning when he and Ju Mingfeng arrived at Xingze, Lin Shu went to the planning and technical department as usual, but as soon as he arrived at the entrance of the technical department, he found a group of people gathered in the conference room next to him. Know what to get excited about.

Then someone noticed the appearance of Lin Shu and Ju Mingfeng, and immediately asked everyone to make room for them to see what was going on inside.

On the huge meeting table between them, there are two small and cute IS dolls dancing.The male doll is wearing a black uniform with an extended cape, and the female doll is wearing a delicate and beautiful long gauze skirt. With the dance of the two, the cape and long skirt are both rippling, very beautiful.

Lin Shu didn't make a sound, and watched with a group of people for a long while, showing a contemplative look, until the two dolls stopped.

After the two dolls stopped, Lin Shu stretched out his hand to grab them, and held them in his hands. Sure enough, he found that the hands and feet of the two dolls had adsorption devices—as Lin Shu expected, and they were naturally moved by humans. Being able to maintain a sense of balance is different. Because these anthropomorphic dolls are too close to the appearance of humans, it is difficult to maintain balance during activities, and they cannot autonomously manipulate muscles to shift their center of gravity with their own will—they don’t even have muscles.

The designer of Fulks used an electrically controlled electromagnetic ball to move inside the doll to maintain its balance. At the same time, some adsorption devices were added to the hands and feet to ensure that the doll can perform various actions.

He opened his mouth and asked a group of technicians: "How much content have you tested? How is the performance?"

The author has something to say: Little Theater:

Ju Mingfeng: Sometimes, I think, what kind of character am I in this book?

Lin Shu: Why do you always want to write something?

Ju Mingfeng: It is said that in every great group, there must be someone who dares to do dirty things...

Lin Shu (categorically): No need!

Ju Mingfeng: ...

(I think you should write today's homework first.)
