Chapter 967 Price and Safety

Zhou Jiangping and a few Lehui professionals looked at the drawings on Chen Mo's computer screen, all of which were stunned.

Because... what this drawing depicts is a device that the world has been conjecture for many years but has never really developed: a VR game cabin that uses neural access technology.

The development of existing VR technology has reached a bottleneck. No matter how much the steam engine is improved, it cannot achieve the efficiency of the internal combustion engine.

If the existing VR technology wants to further improve, at most, it is to improve the picture accuracy, do a few more characters' actions, and update the somatosensory equipment to make the somatosensory feel more realistic...

However, no matter how much you improve, it is impossible to reach the level of neural access.

Now Chen Mo has taken out the new VR game cabin drawings, which are equivalent to the transformation from a steam engine to an internal combustion engine, essentially changing the working principle of the VR game cabin, and it can also be said to have opened a new VR game era.

Zhou Jiangping suppressed his excitement and asked, "Mr. Chen, let's not talk about the cost of this thing. I would like to ask first, can this thing work normally?"

Chen Mo: "=="

"Cough cough." Zhou Jiangping coughed twice, "Mr. Chen, don't worry first, I'll take a look at this drawing."

Chen Mo sat on the sofa next to him: "I'm not in a hurry, just watch slowly."

Zhou Jiangping and several Lehui technicians surrounded the computer screen and carefully looked at the entire design drawings, including various components, principles, etc. of this new VR game cabin.

After watching it for about half an hour, Zhou Jiangping sat on the sofa next to him, and there was still a little bit of a taste.

Chen Mo asked, "How is it?"

Zhou Jiangping was obviously very excited, but he remained calm: "If you can do it just in terms of production, it's just expensive. There are several technologies that use the most cutting-edge technologies, such as neural connection technology, life safety systems, etc., especially neural connection technology, which basically just happened to use the highest technology at this stage."

"But there is a problem. At this stage, you can create the electrodes that monitor, guide, and input brain signals that you want, but... how to analyze the collected brain signals, the current technological level cannot be studied. This device is the same. If there is no corresponding analysis program, even if the brain signals are collected, how can it be converted into program signals to transmit to the host? How can the host signals be transmitted to the player?"

Chen Mo smiled: "You don't have to worry about this. I have also had the analysis program, and I have applied for a patent with the Games Committee for hardware and software. Now I am considering making a sample first and estimating the price."

Zhou Jiangping was still a little unbelievable, but seeing that Chen Mo was so confident, he basically believed it 70% to 80%.

"In terms of cost, each unit should be around 300,000 to 400,000. If the cost is reduced, it should be at least 250,000, which is still much more expensive than most existing VR game cabins. But I think the price is not a problem. After all, this thing represents the future development direction, not to mention that there are really many rich people in this world."

Chen Mo thought: "Well, 300,000..."

This price is a bit unexpectedly expensive.

The original VR game cabin cost between 50,000 and 200,000 yuan, and there is no way to promote it on a large scale, let alone the new game cabin starting from 250,000 yuan.

Of course, the so-called "massive promotion" mainly means that this thing can enter thousands of households and the working class. If you only consider those rich people, this potential market is still quite large. In other words, at this stage, it can only be a toy for the rich, and it cannot even replace the old VR game cabin.

Chen Mo thought for a moment: "Since that's the case, then we won't cut prices. We will take the high-end route. Anyway, for rich people, there is no big difference between 250,000 and 300,000."

Zhou Jiangping nodded: "I think so too. This thing cannot be made at a bargain price. For the working class, even if it is 20,000 or 30,000 yuan, they still think it is expensive. At this stage, we can only go to the high-end market. However, this thing is the product of the most advanced technology and a monopoly market. No matter how you sell it, it will be huge profits."

Chen Mo tapped the table gently: "We can control this level of hardware now."

Zhou Jiangping nodded: "Yes. Because this VR game cabin is equivalent to bringing our cutting-edge technology into the practical stage in advance, which is equivalent to a small leap. From the hardware perspective alone, since we can build it, we will definitely be able to repair it, but..."

Zhou Jiangping paused and asked again: "What I worry about is the risk of this thing. This brand new VR game cabin directly transmits information to the player's brain and nerves. If an accident occurs, it will not cause damage to the player's brain, right?"

Chen Mo explained: "This, the Tourism Committee has arranged for experts and technicians to evaluate the safety of this thing. If it is not passed, it will definitely not be able to sell it. However, it should not be a big problem, because this device is not invasive, which means there is no need to do any 'backward intubation', and the safety is relatively higher."

"The human brain has a strong protection mechanism. The access between the brain and nerves is carried out in the semi-hypnotic state of the player. The game cabin itself will monitor the data transmitted to the player and the physical state of the player in real time. Any abnormality will immediately disconnect the consciousness. For players, they are at most like having a nightmare, even slightly more than the scaring of the nightmare."

"For these, the Travel Commission will arrange corresponding clinical trials and have an estimate of the highest shock value of this thing. However, we don't need to worry about these, and we don't have that power."

Zhou Jiangping nodded: "Okay, then it seems that I was overly worried. In this way, I will arrange to make a sample immediately, and it should be soon."

Chen Mo seemed to have thought of something again and said, "By the way, you can take a look at some additional functions, such as life support system, video signal output system for live broadcasts, etc. This thing may have some special versions for special groups or special departments, and you should also consider it in advance."

Zhou Jiangping nodded: "Okay, no problem."

...

Zhou Jiangping left happily. For him, no matter how expensive this thing is, it will definitely be bought by a rich man. Especially those rich people who are old and weak and sick, this thing is equivalent to a second life and cannot be sold without a sales channel.

Chen Mo's idea is much simpler. Anyway, the price of unlocking a few more technology points will drop. First, sell a group of local tyrants, and let players in this world adapt and mass production later.
