The software part of "Looking at the Stars - The Origin of Civilization" has been written long ago, and even the subsequent architecture has been completed. It only needs to make some changes based on the actual data in the past.
However, it is not that easy to play the first chapter "Origin of Civilization" to the end, because it tests the wisdom of game players, and ordinary players are simply incompetent.
Because they need to lead a group of uncivilized species to evolve to possess wisdom, master civilization, and then master technology, so as to have the ability to explore outer space. It is not that simple.
In this process, players need to constantly learn things, and not only learn, but also learn and apply them, which is fundamentally different from previous games of killing monsters and upgrading.
In the current state, many people don't even understand the so-called civilization, let alone lead a group of ignorant species to achieve a collective jump and become a smart race.
In this process, a great deal of energy is required, and you are constantly faced with attacks from wild beasts and other biological groups. It is very likely that the situation you have worked so hard to manage will be ruined, and you may even lose your own life.
He originally didn't want the design to be so complicated, because it would be very unfriendly to ordinary players, and the number of people playing this game would definitely not be very high.
But then he thought about it, if he was just developing entertainment products, why would he spend so much energy? What he wanted was to use a game to allow gamers to improve themselves, rather than just entertain themselves.
Especially when robots become popular, there may be many people playing games, but if they are just for entertainment, it will seriously affect the level of people's brains in thinking about problems, and gradually become mentally retarded.
He cannot ask everyone to play this game, but he hopes to give players another option. Not everyone is addicted to purely entertainment games, and the smarter the people, the less willing they are to do so.
After the improvement of intelligence milk, the intelligence of the people in our country is not bad. It is still possible to play entertainment games for a few days, but after a long time, it is difficult to attract people to such mechanical games.
Compared with the games on the market, the "Looking at the Stars" series of games is much better in terms of realism and playability. Achieving achievements in this game gives you a stronger sense of achievement than in the games on the market.
The game is now ready. He tested it and found that there are no problems. As for bugs, after being detected by intermediate artificial intelligence, it is not said that there are none, but they are definitely not something that players can find.
The reason why it has not been launched until now is because the super photon computer that can host this game has not yet been installed. Not only can ordinary servers be used, at least the operating cost is very high.
Fortunately, the super photon computer should be ready in the next few days, and this game should be available to everyone soon. As for the operating area of this game, there will be no restrictions.
It's just that he plans to deploy servers only in China. As for whether players from other countries can connect and play smoothly, it is not his concern.
To be honest, he doesn't really want to let players from other countries play this kind of game that can improve players' comprehensive abilities. He just clearly refuses it and can only restrict it in this way.
If foreign players want to play smoothly, there is no way out. That is to purchase global satellite communication services, so that their delays are basically not much different from domestic ones.
It just increased the player's cost invisibly, but he liked it because it brought business to Xuantian Technology Company. He even considered whether to limit the speed of overseas IP addresses.
Apart from games, the biggest thing in June will be the rollout of mass production of robots. At that time, he will personally go to Chongqing to inspect the business there.
To be honest, Xuantian Technology Company has not changed much with or without him. After all, he himself is not overly involved in the management of Xuantian Technology Company. This time he went to Chongqing just to have a look. After all, it is really unreasonable not to go there even once. .
While there were still a few days left, he logged into Xuantian Technology Company's technology creation and sharing platform to see if there were any other very interesting ideas to prepare as research topics for the next stage.
In fact, in addition to the game tasks he is responsible for, intermediate artificial intelligence has also completed some tasks, which are relatively easy to implement, but are areas that few people paid attention to before.
He would definitely not take on such a task himself. If the intermediate artificial intelligence can solve it, he will solve it. If it cannot solve it or it is not within Xuantian Technology Company's positioning, it will be handed over to other companies to complete.
Of course, these tasks must have a certain value. If they don't have much value, they won't be done. After all, the investment is not proportional to the gain, so there is no need to invest.
The gains here not only refer to monetary gains, but also include social gains and other aspects. For example, the game task he is responsible for is not very profitable in terms of profitability.
Although he did not dare to guarantee it in the end, based on past experience, highly difficult games often mean a reduction in the number of players, but they cannot significantly increase the unit price of game time, resulting in limited final income.
However, the current situation in the country is still very different from that in the previous life. After all, everyone has a high IQ, and maybe their pursuits are a little different, so he is not sure.
He flipped through the valuable suggestions and found a very interesting suggestion. Some people actually thought it was cruel to kill animals to eat meat. Is there any way to avoid this happening
The person who left the message was a Chinese netizen, which surprised him. This kind of "Holy Mother" style in previous lives was mostly found in Western countries, because it can reflect the superiority of civilization in this way.
To be honest, he does have a way to do this, but he needs to weigh whether it is appropriate to do so. As the person in charge, what he considers is definitely not a simple issue of "cruelty".
The development of human beings to this point is definitely not a result of vegetarianism. This process has been through the experience of blood and fire, and step by step it has stood out from many earth creatures.
If human beings lack the original blood of their ancestors due to their comfortable living conditions and become "holy saints", is this good or bad for human beings
Human beings have only become the masters of one planet, and they are always facing punishment from nature. They cannot be said to be absolute masters, so humans are not yet at the point where they can sit back and relax.
What's more, there is still a vast universe waiting for mankind. It goes without saying that the competition between civilizations in the universe will be more cruel than the competition between civilizations within the earth.
If our people become flowers in a greenhouse and cannot be tough against "blood", then we will probably be eliminated in the competition in the universe. This is a long-term consideration.
In fact, the earth itself is not absolutely peaceful. Bloody wars still occur from time to time between various civilizations. The world is far from as peaceful as we think on the surface.
The reason why you can enjoy peace is because the country where you were born protects you, and other people in the country are carrying the burden for you. You cannot turn yourself into a "silly white sweet" just because of this. This is a blessing to others. People's efforts are not respected.
Therefore, technical issues are not an issue for him to consider. He needs to comprehensively evaluate whether it is good to do this and whether it will cause other problems. This is the most important thing.
He has always believed that the reason why human beings have been able to develop so far is that "good and evil" live in the human body at the same time. If only one of them existed, human beings would not be where they are today.
He does not shy away from the evil side of human beings, and he does not think it is entirely a bad thing. The most important thing is not to deny evil and desperately praise goodness, but how to balance the two.
Only by balancing good and evil can we be able to advance and retreat freely, and can humans remain invincible for a longer period of time. This also involves the golden mean in our country's traditional culture.
And from the perspective of the animals themselves, if humans do not raise them, is there the possibility of population extinction? From the perspective of humans, personal freedom may even be more important than life.
That's because they know that their own ethnic group will not be exterminated. If it does come to that point, then breeding is the first priority, and inheriting genes is the fundamental idea. This comes from the instinct of biology.
Obviously, most animals do not have the height of humans, and not all domestic animals can survive well in the wild. Especially in the natural state, they cannot support the breeding of large populations.
Human beings are only able to breed the population to today's scale only when they master technology. If they rely solely on natural supply, they will definitely not be able to achieve the current population size.
As the saying goes, everything is determined after careful consideration. Since fate has given them a gray side, they must also have a side full of vitality. You cannot only look at one side and ignore other possibilities.
A typical example is that our previous pig breeds were gradually eliminated during breeding practices due to low meat growth rate or slow growth rate, and some of them are even no longer visible.
He organized these thoughts into words and published them under this suggestion as an alternative thinking on this issue, hoping to make more people think more deeply about this issue.
So he just marked this task as orange, which means that this issue is still controversial and requires everyone to conduct a certain debate.
In fact, he doesn't really care whether the debate can come up with a solution, but he hopes that more people will think about this issue, rather than purely from a personal perspective.
Individual and collective thinking patterns are sometimes completely different. What may seem evil to an individual may be a good deed in the collective thinking pattern.
Putting aside these big problems, he began to think about the technical realization of this task. In fact, the organ cultivation technology of Chinese pharmaceutical companies can do it.
This technology has been used in the actual operations of Tianji Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company. Due to the current high cost and small scale, it is only used by high-end restaurants.
Because this method is cultivated in a completely sterile environment, it is much safer than ordinary raised meat products, and it can be controlled independently, and the quality is much higher than that of raised meat products.
At present, the selling price of their products is 10 times the price of ordinary breeding products. It is basically out of reach of ordinary people and cannot be supplied to the market as daily meat products.
In addition to the cost of cultivation technology, the biggest cost comes from the expensive raw materials for culturing organs. The manufacturing process of these raw materials is cumbersome and the cost is relatively high.
If you want to achieve large-scale production and reduce costs, you also need to solve the problem of raw materials, and this cost must be reduced.
In addition, more advanced cultivation technology is needed to achieve large-scale cultivation. Current technology cannot do this because the technology they use is not prepared for this.
The cultivation of human organs can bear higher costs and does not require large-scale homogeneous cultivation, so when he provided this technology, he did not think about it at all.
Although Tianji Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company has improved this technology, the degree of improvement is not high. It has only slightly improved production efficiency, but the high cost has still not been well solved.
However, they are also working hard to solve this problem, but with their current technical strength, it is difficult to do this, at least in the short term.
He needs to create a device that can convert ordinary grains and other foods into the materials and energy needed for cell proliferation on a large scale, and the conversion process should be more efficient and not consume too much.
His method is to use microbial technology to do this. Although it is also possible to use mechanical equipment, the conversion rate is much lower, and chemical technology is also required.
No matter what, in his opinion, biotechnology is very simple and has the lowest loss. At least the use of biotechnology has such advantages for him, because the technical problems are not too high for him.
If others were to do this, just researching suitable microorganisms would require a lot of money and energy. In the end, it was found that the cost was still very high.
In addition to using organic materials such as grain as raw materials, inorganic materials can also be used as raw materials. However, with the current concentration of minerals, it is not as cost-effective as using organic raw materials such as grain crops.
The earth is actually rich in materials, but the minerals that can be easily mined by humans are very limited, because with the current mining capabilities of humans, mineral veins must be formed, otherwise the cost of collection is too high.
Moreover, cell cultivation not only requires the consumption of materials, but also energy. Organic raw materials absorb energy from sunlight during the growth process, and they themselves have high absorbable energy.
Obviously inorganic raw materials are much worse in this regard and require humans to consume additional energy. From this perspective, using organic raw materials is much better than inorganic raw materials.
These organic raw materials are turned into amino acids and other peptide substances that are beneficial to cell absorption, so that the utilization rate is higher compared to the digestive system of the organism itself.
In fact, if you want to digest these organic substances, you can also use enzymes to process them. However, enzymes are more difficult to control than microorganisms, especially when they are separated, which is more troublesome.
After having ideas in this regard, he began to think about how to cultivate cells into specific tissues on a large scale, which focused on efficiency and resource utilization.
In addition, it is necessary to achieve fine control, which means that what kind of meat quality and taste can be quickly adjusted, rather than a fixed breeding mode.
Because the fixed cultivation model is difficult to adapt to rapid changes in the market. If the market changes, equipment will need to be replaced or it will take a long time to adjust, which is very dangerous for business operations.
After thinking about this, he will use the Zeoling Space to perform deductions, so that the technology obtained in this way will be more accurate and faster.
When he immersed his consciousness in the Zhouling space, he found that the last mission of deducing the robot had not ended yet. He was busy outside during this period and actually forgot about it.
Since there were no restrictions, Zeoling Space had already developed a lot of robotic technologies, and he didn't even know how to start sifting through them. He didn't know what to do for a while.
There is no time to deal with this matter now, so I have to ask Zhou Ling to help store all the deduced plans, and when I am free, I will slowly select suitable advanced robot plans.
After deducing in Zeoling Space, he got many plans, from which he chose the one that was currently easiest to implement, low-cost and safe.
The next step is to think about how to operate this area. Xuantian Technology Company is definitely unwilling to operate it, because although the technology is very advanced, the actual operation is still very troublesome.
Therefore, the artificially cultivated meat products business should be left to Tianji Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company. They have accumulated a certain foundation in this area, and it is easy to leave it to them.
Xuantian Technology Company only needs to be responsible for manufacturing intelligent cultivation equipment, and even the microbial technology used does not intend to be placed here at Xuantian Technology Company, and will be directly handled by Tianji Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company.
Finally, he plans to use biofilms for biomanufacturing peptide amino acid technology, as well as other effective substance separation technologies. For this biofilm, he plans to license the technology to Fluclight Environmental Management Company for operation. After all, they have a foundation in this area.
As for whether the microbial cultivation business and biofilm manufacturing business will be involved in the future, it depends on whether there will be a lot of business in this area in the future. If there is a lot of business, it may also be possible to set up a special subsidiary to operate it.
It's just that after getting these technologies, he didn't hand them over to various companies immediately. Instead, he looked at the response on the Internet. At the same time, if Xuantian Technology Company wanted to manufacture intelligent cultivation equipment, it still had to wait until the robots were put into use.
After all this work, he began to pay attention to Xuantian Technology Company's film and television drama business. From mid-January this year to the end of May, after more than four months, intermediate artificial intelligence created a large number of film and television drama works.
According to the settings at the time, the production volume of TV series and movies was maintained at 1:1, which meant that one TV series and one movie were produced in two days. This mass production speed was very fast.
Although the annual production volume is still not comparable to Qing Ning Entertainment Company, it is produced with the hard work of dozens of millions of people, and it is incomparable with the production efficiency of Xuantian Technology Company.
The reason why he limits the production output is that on the one hand he does not want to overwhelm Qing Ning Entertainment Company in terms of this data, and on the other hand he produces too much and the market may not be able to digest it.
Xuantian Technology's movies are now scheduled to be released every week. The movies that go to theaters are all works with strong box office performance, and the rest are directly played in online theaters.
The reason why it is said to be a strong box office performance is because the movies produced by artificial intelligence are not all special effects blockbusters, but there are also many small fresh movies or literary films.
Since he does not have many restrictions on movies produced by intermediate artificial intelligence, as long as they do not violate the basic principles, the production of various types of films is completely up to the intermediate artificial intelligence.
The same is true for TV dramas. Large-scale viewing parties are organized almost every half month, and the produced TV dramas are bought to various TV stations.
Fortunately, these tedious tasks do not need to be done by Xuantian Technology Company itself, but are handed over to the distribution subsidiary that has just become independent from Qing Ning Entertainment Company.
Not only is the distribution of their TV series business handed over to this company, but their film distribution business is also handed over to this company. Xuantian Technology Company only needs to be responsible for production and does not care about anything else.
The box office revenue of movies has so far exceeded 16 billion yuan, and the average global box office of each movie is about 800 million yuan. There are some special effects blockbusters with high box office, and some niche movies with unsatisfactory box office.
Although there are a lot of box office data, Xuantian Technology Company can only get about 3.2 billion yuan in revenue, because various expenses need to be deducted, so there is not much in hand.
Cinema lines account for about 50%, film funds account for 5%, business taxes account for 3.3%, and distributors account for about 20%, so producers can only account for about 20%.
The reason why distributors account for such a high proportion is mainly because they are responsible for the promotion of the movie, which requires investment of funds, so the risks they bear are also very high, so the proportion will naturally not be very low.
Of course, in addition to theater box office revenue, there will be other income, but apart from online theater revenue, other businesses are handed over to Qing Ning Entertainment Company, and Xuantian Technology Company only takes a symbolic payment. That’s all.
So in total, in these four months, Xuantian Technology Company's film revenue is only 10 billion yuan, and the contribution of online theaters is even much higher than the total revenue of offline theaters.
In terms of TV series, in the past four months, a total of more than 60 TV series were produced, bringing about 6 billion yuan in revenue to Xuantian Technology Company, with an average income of 100 million yuan per TV series.
This includes TV stations purchasing broadcast rights and online video revenue. In addition, there are other licensing revenue, which all add up to so much.
Therefore, the film and television drama business is not ranked among all the businesses of Xuantian Technology Company. It is considered a marginal business. If these were not produced using artificial intelligence, the profits would be even less.
Another business is Douyin. Currently, the number of Douyin users in the world is as high as about 500 million. The development speed is not bad, but the competitive pressure it faces later is also not low.
Because Qianxun Technology Company has also made targeted competition plans, but it is not that easy to completely suppress Douyin. The final result may be to share the market together.
As for making money, this is still in the money-burning stage. If you want to make money, you still have to wait. He plans to consider commercial operations when the number of global users exceeds 1 billion. There is no rush yet. (End of chapter)
