In the following days, everyone seemed to be suddenly busy again. Zhou Jinyu basically took music classes during the day and took some time to broadcast live in the evening, usually for four or five hours a day.
Although it is not comparable to the training time of other professional gamers, for Zhou Jinyu, maintaining such intensity of game time every day is the best way to maintain her game state.
Lin Hexia is busy with sports donations. Although the horoscope has not been revealed yet, this matter is a good thing that benefits the country and the people. There is a high probability that it will be passed. There is nothing wrong with preparing in advance.
Because sports donation is not their family's business, the more people involved will inevitably lead to more things to do, and it just happened that the World Gaming Competition has not yet started, so this matter was completed.
On the contrary, Zhao Yi felt that he was the most leisurely person, but this was not the case. Although he did not go out, he was busy with Xuantian Technology Company, especially their robot business.
At present, their robots are mainly commercial service robots, and their output value is not very large. In addition, the previous high popularity has passed, and their annual operating income is now maintained at less than 10 billion yuan.
This is the result of the large scale of his industry and the relatively strong support of his brother companies. If he completely followed market rules, his income would probably be smaller, so the development potential of this category of robots is not high.
The reason why he pays attention to the robot business of Xuantian Technology Company is mainly to plan for the future. In the future, robot replacement will be carried out. The country is destined to need a large number of robots.
Not to mention too many, just to maintain the operation of the current economic volume, we need a similar number of robots as the current domestic working population, which means that at least 700 million units are needed.
This is not a small number. Once job replacement is really started, huge funds will be spent on the production of these robots, and the cost will be very huge.
It would be better if it were sold to others, since the cost would be borne by others, but if it was used by oneself, then the cost of manufacturing such a large number of robots might be overwhelmed.
Although he has a full set of robotics technology in his hands, which technically costs nothing, the production and manufacturing costs alone will probably be overwhelming.
Not to mention that the manufacturing cost of a robot is 100,000 yuan. If it is really that expensive, the so-called alternative plan will become a joke, because the manufacturing of the robot alone will cost 70 trillion yuan.
However, our country's annual GDP is not that high. Even if it is divided into several years and some positions are replaced every year, the cost is still very huge and cannot be afforded by a company.
Although it is true that he has many industries and a lot of money, the money is useful, and it is not so much that there is no place to spend it. The funds that can be used will definitely not be that much.
Therefore, if he wants to implement this plan well, he must reduce the manufacturing cost of the robot to less than 10,000 yuan. Of course, the lower the better, only in this way can large-scale promotion be possible.
The reason for such a request is not only that he cannot come up with so much funds, but also has an inseparable relationship with the current labor costs.
The reason is simple. If the cost of using robots is much higher than the cost of hiring a labor force, then it is better to hire labor. This is the law of the market, which in disguise prevents the promotion of robots.
More importantly, if the cost of robots is high, then a large part of the company's operating profits will be eaten up by robots, and then there will be even less profits that can be distributed to employees who are leaving their jobs.
In other words, if the cost of robots is too high, it will be difficult to provide current treatment to employees who are leaving their jobs, not to mention other companies, even his own companies.
The housekeeping robot he planned to produce previously cost about 10,000 yuan, which seemed to meet his requirements. In fact, it was not the case. It mainly came from two aspects.
The first aspect is that among the many demands for robots, housekeeping service robots are the lowest level, the requirements are not high, and the level of natural manufacturing is considered very low.
The second aspect is that the materials used by housekeeping service robots are ordinary materials. Because the home environment is relatively stable and friendly, ordinary materials can meet certain requirements.
However, robots used in the production field may face a variety of tasks. Using this very common material, it is difficult to achieve wide adaptability.
Of course, you can also customize the robot according to the content of the robot's work, but this actually increases the cost. Everyone knows that only by mass-producing a product can the costs of all links be reduced as much as possible.
Therefore, he needs to develop a robot with broad applicability, and the manufacturing cost should not be too high. Of course, the lower the better, this is what he currently needs to do.
He needs to further optimize the entire structure of the humanoid robot and minimize the use of unnecessary structures and materials. This is the most effective way to reduce costs.
The second step is to further reduce the production costs of various parts of humanoid robots, optimize the manufacturing processes and technologies of these parts, and further compress this cost.
Finally, there is the material. The robot involves many types of materials, and different materials are required for each part. He needs to find alternatives for these materials one by one, which must be easy to use and cheap.
If other people face so many problems, they must be confused. There are so many good things in the world. They want high performance but don’t want to pay more costs.
But it is possible with him, because whether it is high performance or low cost, it is ultimately a technical problem. As long as it is a technical problem, he can always find a solution.
At present, the cheaper material is actually steel, which is not only large in quantity but also relatively mature in the industry. However, steel is too heavy. If a robot is to be made about the same size as a human body, it may weigh several tons.
Previous housekeeping robots used aluminum alloy materials, but small-scale production of aluminum alloy materials has not been a big problem. If it is mass-produced, there will be a problem whether there are so many minerals for you to use.
In addition, the cost is still relatively expensive. When it comes to limited mineral resources, the cost will not be very low. Even if it is very low now, with large-scale use, it will rise according to market demand. stand up.
Therefore, the materials he needs still need to be obtained from inexhaustible resources, just like carbon materials, which can be extracted from all carbon-containing raw materials through technology.
Because those resources that are not scarce now will become scarce resources once they are used on a large scale, and the cost will rise uncontrollably, which will lead to the bankruptcy of his plan.
According to this idea, he mainly focuses on elements that are very abundant on the earth, and these elements must be relatively easy to obtain and are not restricted by their origin.
So he set his sights on elements such as hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, silicon, carbon, and calcium. He hoped to use these elements to form various required substances to meet the material requirements of robots.
If it can really be realized, the material cost will be greatly reduced, and the main difficulty is to use these elements to develop materials and prepare the required materials, and most of the costs are concentrated here.
The most important reason why human technology needs to use a variety of minerals is that we cannot use these simple elements to make the molecules with complex structures we need.
But there is not much difficulty here. He only needs to put forward the requirements for materials for a certain part, and then continue to deduce them through simple elements. Zhou Ling can do this work.
A lot of the scientific and technological information he got from Zhou Ling was actually the result of Zhou Ling's deduction in Zhou Ling's space. It doesn't mean that Zhou Ling was born with this information, but the deduction speed in Zhou Ling's space was basically too fast. It doesn't take much time.
This gives people the illusion that Zhou Ling can immediately satisfy him as long as he makes a request. In fact, this is not the case. The source of all technologies is based on the powerful calculation ability of Zhou Ling Space.
The deduction of complex materials is mainly divided into two steps. The first step is to determine the molecular structure and arrangement order of the material that meets the requirements. Only when the goal is determined can we talk about how to produce it.
The second step is obvious, and that is how to manufacture certain materials in a cheap way. Generally speaking, there is not one type of material that meets the requirements. There must be several, or even countless types. It depends on him. Are you willing to wait and continue the deduction
Then from among the many production and manufacturing plans, Zhou Ling selected the obviously cheaper plan, and then personally screened it through him, which was more in line with the production and manufacturing plan in the real world.
The Game World Championship officially started on November 1st, so he had enough time to do this. The reason why he had to do it in advance was mainly because he felt that it would not take long to use it.
And if you want to have such a large production capacity, you must build the entire industrial chain. This requires a lot of time and energy to make overall arrangements, and you cannot just improvise.
Especially the budget issue. If he doesn't prepare it in advance, he won't have so much money to spend temporarily. He can't disrupt other plans just because of this plan. This will not be worth the gain.
So during this period, everyone is basically busy during the day, and only at night can they gather together. If someone is on a business trip, not even everyone can gather together at night.
Therefore, everyone basically doesn’t work much at night, either watching TV together or playing games together. Anyway, the days go by very fast, and it’s November in the blink of an eye.
Zhou Jinyu learned basic music knowledge from top domestic music teachers, which included not only the understanding of music, but also learning musical instruments.
If you are an ordinary person, if you want to do well in this area, you will basically start from a young age. It is very likely that it will take a long time to use an instrument to play a piece of music completely and smoothly.
But Zhou Jinyu's brain and body reaction capabilities have been strengthened. Not only has his learning ability been greatly improved, but he is also very talented in getting started.
Although they have not reached the level of perversion like Zhao Yi, after an IQ test, her and Lin Hexia's IQs have also increased to more than 180, far exceeding the scope of ordinary people.
It was also because her IQ had been greatly improved that her doctoral thesis, which she had been unable to complete, was completed in just a few days and passed the evaluation of her supervisor.
This is the benefit of high IQ. Things that others cannot figure out no matter how much they think about, are effortless for people with high IQ and do not require much brain power at all.
Therefore, she has gained a lot from learning music knowledge and musical instruments in this month, and she has met the requirements for music knowledge learning.
According to the words of her teacher: "You are a genius in music. It is a pity that you did not study before. Now I have nothing to teach you."
I don’t know if it’s true or not, but Zhou Jinyu said it herself, so I’ll take it as true. In any case, her shortcomings in this area have been made up, and even if she’s not top-notch, she’s at least capable.
As for learning musical instruments, her performance was equally amazing. In less than a month, she actually learned all the mainstream performance instruments. He and Lin Hexia listened to her playing and the results were very good.
Although some songs lack a sense of agility because they are not very familiar, ordinary people cannot hear them at all, which shows that Zhou Jinyu's ability to master musical instruments is quite strong.
As for the music played, it is not particularly important. This is a job where practice makes perfect. Mastering the tools proficiently is not a big problem for Zhou Jinyu.
As the saying goes, all that is needed is the east wind, but his east wind has never come. The materials for the throat modification potion are still being prepared, but they are almost there. It is estimated that they will be available in November.
To be honest, he always felt that the time for his development was too short at this time. Tianji Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company has grown precious medicinal materials like this, but it was just not available in the right years to meet the demand for medicinal efficacy.
Therefore, it takes time to collect these materials from the private sector, and the price is naturally very high. For example, throat modification medicines cost millions of yuan.
In fact, for him, it doesn't matter how much money he has. What he fears most is not being able to find materials that meet the requirements. This is the most troubling part, just like the potion that enhances physical ability, which has never been found.
However, after collecting these materials, there was a lot leftover. The throat modification potion mainly required a variety of materials, and the dosage was not actually large. The remaining materials added a lot of information to his laboratory.
With the arrival of November, the first global club competition of "League of Legends" begins. The competition venue is in the capital. People from the God of War Club have basically come to the capital to set up camp.
When they came over, Zhao Yi and the three of them went over to welcome the club members, treat them to a meal, and personally check out their residence.
During the competition, it is not enough to just arrange hotel accommodation, but also to prepare a training venue for them, so this time they did not stay in a hotel, but arranged a villa for them.
In the past, it would have been quite difficult to find a villa that met the requirements in the capital, but now it is much easier. China Housing Corporation has many such villa properties.
No matter what society it is, there will always be high-end consumer demand. China Housing Corporation will build a number of villas in every city to meet the housing needs of high-income people.
After the club members who came to Beijing settled down, the three of them went home on their own and did not live with the club members. Firstly, it was inconvenient, and secondly, they were afraid of their restraint.
When formulating a game strategy, it can only be a temporary decision. In his previous life, he didn't know how those coaches formulated the game strategy. Anyway, they used to have a short discussion before going on the field.
Moreover, the club's coach is basically a decoration. The formulation of strategies, banning and selecting heroes are all decided by Zhao Yilai. Anyway, this is an unusual game competition team.
It is much more convenient here than in Shanghai. After all, they are at home, so they are more relaxed and do not even make too many preparations. Basically, everything is as usual, except that there is an additional competition activity. .
At the beginning of November, game competition teams from all over the world also arrived one after another. Their residences were all contacted in advance, so there was no need for the event organizers to worry.
However, if they do encounter difficulties, they can seek help, especially with visa and other procedures. The event organizers will help them handle it so that each team can come to compete in time.
As the popularity of "League of Legends" is getting higher and higher around the world, this global competition has attracted the attention of many game fans around the world, and also presented our country's capital in the most intuitive way in front of global game fans.
Over the years, our country's economy has developed rapidly and its foreign economic exchanges have continued to deepen. However, compared to ordinary people, there are not many opportunities to understand the actual situation of our country.
In order to show our country's economic development achievements and urban construction, the competition venue in the capital this time was also placed in the Software City of Fanxing Software Company, which is in Chaoyang District.
Not only are there world-class information facilities, but the construction level is also very good. The people who live and work here are also very knowledgeable, and their quality is naturally much higher.
In addition, Fanxing Software Company itself is a very well-known giant company in the world, so club members from all over the world can not only enjoy first-class competition facilities here.
At the same time, they can also feel the charm of my country's urbanization construction, and they can also see for themselves what the headquarters of the world's top software companies are like, deepening my country's external influence.
People who have never been to Fanxing Software Company only know that they are very well-known, and most people have frequently used their software, but when it comes to what is concrete, it is probably very vague.
Because Fanxing Software Company itself is relatively low-key, apart from striving to develop its business, it does not have too many bells and whistles, nor does it deliberately mythologise a certain character as a benchmark, so it appears to be relatively ordinary.
Just like in the previous life, when hearing about Microsoft, they thought of Bill Gates, and when hearing about Apple, they thought of Steve Jobs. But now, when people hear about Fanxing Software Company, they don't have much impression except for their products.
There is no richest man in the world here, and there are no technical geniuses or lunatics here. There are just a group of ordinary employees who work hard, so from a concrete point of view, they are indeed ordinary.
But if you talk about the software industry, they can't escape the topic no matter what, which makes their names seem not so ordinary, and even makes people deeply feared.
Therefore, arranging the venue here for this global competition is also a promotion for Fanxing Software Company, allowing global players to see what the headquarters of Fanxing Software Company is like, and deepening everyone's impression of Fanxing Software Company.
Since everyone comes in advance, except for adaptive training, everyone's activities are free, so these club members will go shopping and get familiar with this country and city that they have heard of countless times but have never been to.
In fact, at the end of the competition, the competition will arrange for all club members to visit the headquarters of Fanxing Software Company and the headquarters of Xuantian Technology Company. The expenses will be paid by the organizer.
The reason for visiting the headquarters of Fanxing Software Company is that the competition venue is on their territory, and the second reason is to let everyone know more about this world's top software company, which will help improve the company's image.
As for Xuantian Technology Company, this competitive game was developed by this company. Now that they have arrived on their territory, it would be a bit unreasonable not to take them to visit the headquarters.
Xuantian Technology Company is actually a giant company in terms of revenue, but in terms of staff size, it is a medium-sized company, with only more than 5,000 employees combined.
There are only more than 100 people related to the game, and these people are not game developers. They are all people responsible for game promotion and operation.
Most of the remaining business is related to the market. The production of their smart glasses, holographic projections, robots, etc. is handed over to other companies such as Huaxin Precision Manufacturing Company. They do not manufacture it themselves. business.
The department with more technical personnel should be their global satellite communication system department. Although they do not produce these satellites, they at least have graduates in aerospace, otherwise it will be difficult to play well.
It is precisely because their headquarters is not large in scale that they rent the office building at the headquarters of Fanxing Software Company and do not build their own headquarters base.
If there is no large-scale increase in headquarters staff in the future, they may still rent offices, but this is unlikely. After all, the robot business is not a small business.
So Zhao Yi is also considering the issue of Xuantian Technology Company's headquarters and where to build it. To be honest, there are too many companies in the capital, and he doesn't really want to put Xuantian Technology Company's headquarters in the capital. (End of chapter)
