Chapter 612: Jigsaw Puzzle
"Haha! Guys! I got a VR helmet!"
After queuing all night with a tent, he finally grabbed a buyer for the brain-computer VR helmet and excitedly posted a photo of himself and the VR helmet on Weibo.
It immediately attracted many envious comments.
"Awesome, queue all night!"
"I woke up at five o'clock, but after seeing this team, I went straight home to take a nap."
"Brother, it's been posted. Although it's not as popular as the robots, several Internet companies are currently recruiting people with quotas to be testers."
“Is this true? Can you get money for wearing a VR headset?”
"It may not last as long as robots, but it can be used in the short term. It may be that Internet companies are developing corresponding applications and there are not enough testing equipment."
“…”
If we switch to a platform like smartphones, in order to grab traffic and set rules, we would like to give the whole world away so that everyone can develop on their own platform so that they can dominate the market and defeat their competitors.
But the VR platform in front of us is the opposite, requiring developers to seek it everywhere.
This is the difference brought about by technological gap-level suppression!
Nowadays, Umbrella's products are very popular in the eyes of many people.
You can participate in a lottery to become a tester of the holographic bracelet, and earn a thousand dollars every month just by doing nothing!
The situation with robots is even more exaggerated. It is equivalent to robots going out to work to support the family.
So now this VR helmet can also receive a subsidy?
This is even more exaggerated than the already avalanche of virtual currencies that were once popular!
When virtual currency was at its hottest, a graphics card could provide long-term, stable returns.
However, after Red Queen emerged, it drained the virtual currency market in one go.
A zero-sum game market without legal protection is really useless when facing artificial intelligence based on superconducting chips and quantum computing.
The market is limited in size, and panic selling at inflated prices can cause a 99.99% drop in a single day.
Compared with virtual currencies, which have serious speculative behavior.
Umbrella's stable income is what really makes people feel delicious.
Especially for a certain big country, the current per capita income is not high, but it can still be bought with gritted teeth.
After 'Tibuanpaolu' started his live broadcast of food delivery with a robot, many people followed suit.
Coupled with the gradual introduction of robots in factories, it has almost become a consensus that robots can support families!
But what is very interesting is that most of the netizens who gritted their teeth and sold their houses to buy robots will choose to run their own business just like "running away with the bucket".
Some robots are used to deliver food, some are used to set up stalls, and some are used to open small restaurants with robots that cook and provide takeout. There are also robots that are trained with unique recipes and various small functions, and robots are not allowed into the factory.
Because after returning home, the robot can do housework, cook, and keep everything in order. It can also tell jokes and interact with the owner, adding some popularity.
Since I already have money to support my family, I naturally pursue a better quality of life.
The best thing about factory robots is that manufacturers can help with funding, giving a chance to those who can’t even afford $700,000 even if they sell their houses.
"Brothers, I have a lot of VR helmets here, but they are not available for use..."
Because of the popularity brought by the group of people queuing up to grab the helmets, someone posted a short video link in the reply.
The content was a man in a factory uniform patting the stacked shelves behind him.
There are VR helmets everywhere!
"Fuck! They produced so many so quickly?"
"It seems that this is just a short-term salary after all."
"Awesome, this was announced not long ago, right?"
“…”
Many people flocked to the linked short video and commented on it.
The guy in overalls and a helmet also posted a video to explain the situation.
"Hey, you guys underestimate our speed. The core chip is provided directly by Umbrella. We just need to complete the rest of the assembly. The VR helmet is so big, it's actually easier to assemble than a mobile phone. The shell is stamped into one piece, so it's not a big deal."
After receiving this response, many people felt relieved.
That seems to be true!
Now, because brain-computer VR devices have just been launched, there seems to be a great demand for them.
Just like the original holographic bracelet.
When it gradually becomes saturated and there is only a demand for upgrading, it will be completely different from now.
"But your factory should also start to popularize robot operations, right?"
Someone started asking questions.
"Oh, yes, I won the robot lottery, so I got the job of leading a class."
The merciless critical hit directly broke the defense of many people in front of the screen.
"Jealousy has made me unrecognizable!"
"I want a robot to support me, too!"
"I regret it. I should have sold my house and bought a robot before I became famous."
“…”
In response to these words, the man in work clothes who posted the video also laughed, and then uploaded another photo. In the photo, the factory was filled with neatly arranged robots like the Terracotta Warriors.
Unlike previous videos of robots being filmed in factories, these robots were not activated and were not on the production line.
For a moment, this made many people feel a sense of joy that was about to burst out.
"Could it be that..."
"Could it be..."
"Yes, Umbrella has a robot assembly business and has chosen to outsource it to here. The output seems to be pretty good."
It was originally just a video about the rush to buy VR equipment, but now it has fast-forwarded to the point where robots and VR equipment are beginning to be mass-produced in China.
This moment immediately set off the entire Internet and even spread abroad.
The A-share market has never been as strong as it is today, with all stocks rising!
In fact, this is just OEM, and the bulk of the profits are still in the hands of Umbrella.
But just like Japan begged Umbrella not to move its automobile industry even if it had to surrender, as long as the factory is still there, it can provide a lot of liquidity convenience, tax revenue and jobs.
On the other hand, the country's perfect industrial chain and logistics can also make up for Umbrella's biggest production capacity disadvantage.
In the past, we relied on factories in Mexico, Brazil and other places. Compared with now we have started to fully use domestic OEM business, the efficiency is definitely not on the same level!
As more and more robots are used, efficiency will in turn increase.
The world is about to enter the era of big machines, which is almost just around the corner.
Many people who did not draw the robot were cheering and looking forward to it.
But at the same time, some people who look further ahead also feel a little worried.
Umbrella has adopted a delaying tactic, binding robots to individuals, limiting large-scale purchases, and also taking advantage of individual roles.
But the problem is that as production capacity increases, sooner or later everyone will have one.
Will there still be such a shortage of robots by then? Will there still be so many job opportunities?
This kind of efficiency explosion, even if Umbrella adds VR and other production tasks to create gaps to consume production capacity, but as the gaps are slowly filled up, it will still lead to a large amount of capacity overflow, which is likely to cause major social structural problems.
The robot is so efficient!
Although the production capacity has increased, coupled with the fact that carbohydrates can now be synthesized, it can directly ensure that no one will starve to death.
Maintained the minimum living standard.
But what will happen to these idle people?
If too many people are idle, there will be chaos...
However, some people also followed Umbrella's puzzle and gradually saw the trends and directions that Umbrella itself was actively guiding.
Brain-computer VR?
Virtual world?
Or a similar super project construction in Penglai?
I just don't know if this diversion can be successfully introduced...
