Reborn to create a virtual world

On the way out of Xinbai, Lin Shu began to ask the host: If you scan a living creature with mental power, can you obtain its physiological structure data without harming itself?

The program's reply is: it depends on the creature's own situation.

The meaning of this sentence is that it may harm the living body itself.

Lin Shu pondered for a while, and knew that this path might not work.

Because there is no good and safe way to study the content of neural connections, Lin Shu can only temporarily put this matter aside and concentrate on the [-]D printing project.

After Lin Shu turned his main attention to the [-]D printing project, the [-]D printing project of Xinggui began to develop by leaps and bounds.

The main development direction of the three-dimensional printing technology of Star Trail is strong plasticity, clean and recyclable.In order to achieve this, the research and development of condensing agents and solvents is a major focus.The material of the printing material itself has become secondary instead, because Star Trail has found a systematic and effective research and development path, and after repeated experiments, it will definitely be able to produce the corresponding target material.

There are many difficulties to be overcome in order to perfect [-]D printing, such as the material performance on the outside, the hardness and toughness of the inside material, the shelf life of the finished product, and the more responsible mechanized assembly process in the later stage.Automatic assembly itself is a complex and intelligent process. If you only expect the machine to automatically arrange and complete it, there may be many bugs.For this reason, Lin Shu and Tan Yuan chose to add an assembly design file to the new printing program after discussion.The two asked the electronics department to design an additional software module, which is used to simulate the assembly process, so that users can design the assembly process by themselves, avoiding mistakes in the assembly steps and causing unnecessary losses.

Lin Shu will not be satisfied with the model market.

Generally speaking, the combination of virtual trading platform and [-]D printing technology can cover a wide range of areas. In addition to various models, there are also various types of children's toys, one-time loading props, various prop samples, etc... two The essence of the combination of users lies in the DIY behavior of users, that is, most of them can design the props they want by themselves, and then obtain the finished products through extremely simple and convenient means.

If star trails continue to improve the expression form and structural quality of materials, their uses will definitely become wider and wider, and the market will also become bigger and bigger.In Lin Shu's view, the ideal state is that it can replace most plastic products and become a new disposable cheap material.

And it will take a long time.

In private, Lin Shu only had a private meeting with Tan Yuan and a few others.Although it was only a small meeting, the content discussed was very important and serious.

"In the future, the use of [-]D printing technology will become more and more extensive, but at the same time its impact on the market will also become greater and greater. This future market is huge, and we cannot monopolize it, otherwise it will cause public outrage. Although Xingzhe is currently quite Once you have influence, you will never be able to be an enemy of the whole world."

What he said was a bit alarmist, Tan Yuan didn't take it seriously, and said, "You're too exaggerated...how come you are talking about going against the whole world?"

Lin Shu shook his head: "This is not alarmist talk. Think about the social conflicts caused by the innovation of cotton textile technology during the first industrial revolution... The market for three-dimensional printing technology is even broader than that of cotton textile technology. Before we Having discussed the practical direction of [-]D printing, do you think it will have a greater or lesser impact than textile technology?"

Tan Yuan felt that the two could not be compared at all.If I have to say it, of course the impact of [-]D printing technology is even greater.

She believes that the influence of plastics can be compared with the invention of cloud materials.However, when plastic was invented, it entered the market as a brand-new material, and it was not very oppressive to the old market.Moreover, the market at that time was immature, market information was also backward, and technology was not in the hands of a single organization, so there was no market conflict.

However, the technology of cloud materials is very different.

Tan Yuan couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

Ge Mei quickly understood Lin Shu's meaning, and asked, "What does Mr. Lin mean?"

Lin Shu said: "So I think we only need to focus on some core technologies in the future. Some non-critical technologies can be distributed in a planned way. For example, the manufacturing technology of cloud materials."

A group of senior executives participating in the meeting: "!!"

The Chief Financial Officer first objected: "If it is actually put into production in the future, the production technology of cloud materials should be the core technology!? Its technology cost and manufacturing cost are low, but the consumption is large, even if the price is set lower. But in the long run—"

Lin Shu said: "It is a labor-intensive product. Even if it can make a lot of money every day, I don't want to keep it in my hands. It is not good for us to spread too much. What Star Rail wants to do is a technology-based enterprise. I would rather give away part of the profits and collect royalties as my main income than spend my energy on setting up a factory."

When he said this, everyone thought about it and found it reasonable.But after all, it is a big piece of pie, and most people still feel a little pity.

Instead, Ge Mei laughed and said, "Boss Lin, your idea is actually correct. But it's easy to say, you have to think about it, if this part of the profit is really given up, the loss will be huge. I think most people I won't give up."

Lin Shu has never seen such great benefits, so naturally he won't be dazed by a mere cloud material.He said very calmly: "We can't eat this pie, and there are other better meals waiting for us to enjoy. If we don't stay here, we will only lose more scenery."

He thought for a while, and then continued: "Star Trail's current influence is relatively limited, and it is a safer way to use appropriate concessions to pave the way. Moreover, long-term interest exchanges are better than simple bribes and treats. It is not easy to maintain friendship. Give people a handle. The potential market for cloud materials is huge, and one or two factories will definitely not be able to handle it. And we may produce more new types of cloud materials in the future, plus condensing agents, dissolving agents, and other peripherals... …For example, products such as model hand protection boxes. If these technologies are separated and communicated with different forces, we can use such a chain of interests to form a huge community of interests—of course With the star track as the core."

Gemei: "!?"

Lin Shu's ambition is bigger than she imagined.In this way, the benefits of cloud materials are not only without disadvantages and losses, but also the benefits that can be exchanged are far more than imagined, and they are more value for money.

Next, Lin Shu discussed the specific operation plan with several people in detail, and even went down to the specific profit of each authorization.

Lin Shu said: "We can also keep the shares of the two factories. When the stalls are not large at the beginning, even if someone sees the business opportunities, they will not rashly try to take a bite. Only when the benefits are large enough To a certain extent, the shares of these materials have the value of being coveted and traded."

"...By the way, Mr. Tan, what is the current material output? If the [-]D printer is running around the clock, what is the approximate range of material consumption?"

Tan Yuan listened, opened the program and calculated for a while, and answered Lin Shu's rough estimate.

After hearing this, Lin Shu calculated the time loss and data errors that may be caused by product volume errors based on Tan Yuan's estimated value, and finally calculated the daily material consumption that a three-dimensional printer may consume after it is opened.

Of course this is just an estimate.The specific real value can only be confirmed by the usage status of the printer after it is officially installed and opened.

But other parts of the program have to be planned in advance.

Lin Shu said: "The average comprehensive cost of one kilogram of cloud materials is about 15 to 25 yuan. If the price is set at 30 to 100 yuan, we will charge about [-] yuan for the patent fee, and they will still have about [-] yuan each. Kilograms are close to [-]% profit. About ten printers are operating at full capacity, and they can consume three to ten tons of cloud materials a day—let’s not count the consumption of condensing agents and solvents—then it is about [-] to [-] material profits .”

Calculated in this way, the annual profit is about 3000 to [-] million.

Of course, it depends on the utilization rate of the machine.

Lin Shu said: "The specific plan depends on the usage rate of the printer after it is opened. It is certain that the usage rate in the early stage must be relatively high, and as the number of printers increases in the later period, the average usage rate of each machine will definitely increase. Decrease. At that time, we will determine the number of authorized enterprises and machine quotas based on the specific utilization rate, and increase the number of cooperative factories and the number of machines according to the quota of five tons per day. This will not squeeze the other party too much The profit will keep the other party from making a profit, and it will also allow downstream companies to maintain a certain degree of competitiveness, so that they will not live too comfortably."

There's still a part he didn't say.

Xingying grasped the shooting of stereoscopic projection advertisements in the early stage, and established a high degree of authority and trust.It has a list on hand, which includes actors, MV directors and manufacturers. Through this list and the fame accumulated in the early days, Xingying has gained a lot of benefits. Not only has its network expanded greatly, but all three parties have relied on it. In the film and television industry with a weak foundation, he has gradually gained the right to speak that does not match his qualifications.

At this time when the influence of [-]D advertisements and [-]D movies is gradually increasing, one can imagine how much the prestige and voice that Xingying has gained will benefit it.This is very rare for a film and television entertainment company that only has technology but no works at the beginning.Perhaps in the next decade or so, the influence of Xingying will gradually weaken with the changes in the industry, but I believe that at that time it will have enough works to support the entire brand.

For the cloud material industry, Lin Shuda also has a similar idea.

He will master the machine manufacturing and sales channels, which is equivalent to mastering the sales channels of cloud materials.In this case, even if the manufacturing technology of the material is transferred, he can still grasp the consumers, which is equivalent to grasping all the downstream manufacturers.For a larger market and more customers, they have to rely on and make good friends with Xinggui.
