Chapter 3894 What Is the Solution?
"Infinite Horror" was supposed to be officially launched on January 29. However, due to the sudden doomsday crisis, the public beta of "Infinite Horror" was postponed. After all, it is not a good time to launch a new game at this time.
Of course, when the whole world was in chaos, the number of players in the "Second World" did not decline too much. Compared with the chaos and violence outside, playing games at home is undoubtedly the best way to deal with it. Especially for players, since the end of the world is coming anyway, it is better to play more games and worry about those things! This is also the reason why the "Second World" makes other consortiums extremely envious and jealous.
All consortiums have suffered different economic losses, but the "Second World" still maintains high profits. It would be strange if they didn't envy it. Especially the stock market. Although the global stock market has suffered a sharp drop in the past few days due to the end of the world, many companies, especially those large companies, have suffered losses of tens of billions or even hundreds of billions of dollars. The "Second World" has naturally suffered some losses, but the losses are not large, and the total decline is no more than 10 billion US dollars. After that, the global rumors were clarified, and the stock price of "Second World" recovered comprehensively. In the end, its stock price not only rose back, but also exceeded the previous stock price, reaching an astonishing $450 per share. Its market value reached an astonishing $315 billion, second only to Exxon Mobil's $350 billion, becoming the second largest company in the world by market value.
Faced with this stock price, many people are really jealous. To be honest, the annual profit (net profit) of "Second World" is not high. It will never exceed $10 billion a year, but this market value is too exaggerated. It has become the second largest company in the world by market value. This is too amazing and too exaggerated. And with this trend, it is very likely to surpass Exxon Mobil and become the world's largest company by market value.
At present, whether it can surpass Exxon Mobil depends on one thing, that is, the result of the delayed public beta of "Infinite Horror". This time, the dual charging standards of the point card charging model and the "death charging" model are adopted. Point cards are not expensive in China. The monthly subscription is 35 yuan, and the point card is 40 yuan for 120 hours, which is a relatively cheap charging method. In foreign countries, the same charging standard is also adopted, but it is converted into the currency of different countries, and the price is not increased at all.
As for the death charging model, an incremental charging model is adopted. The first death. It only costs 1 yuan (global equivalent, exchange rate), while the second time is 2 yuan, and the third time is 4 yuan, which increases cumulatively. For this charging model, players who have known it early. Although I calculated that after about the 20th time, only some local tyrants can afford it. Most people can only afford the cost of the first 10 deaths. Although it feels that this death cost is a bit high, there are resurrection props in the game itself. Therefore, as long as you don’t demand immediate resurrection, it’s okay.
Therefore, players can accept both charging models. At present, the outside world is concerned about the popularity of "Infinite Horror" by players. How many people will accept "Infinite Horror". The more people accept it, the more money it will make.
This time, it was still early in the morning.
In the early morning of February 6, that is, the early morning of Saturday in Beijing time, "Infinite Horror" was officially fully publicized.
Lin Feng stood in the hall, looking at the big screen, watching the numbers jumping on it, with a face full of expectation.
When "World War" was first publicly tested, the number of people exceeded 200 million. What about this time? What will it reach? Is it close to or surpassing?
"70 million!" The first cheer came. This number is second only to the number of people in the public test of "World War".
"Over 100 million!" There was a jubilation in the hall. Over 100 million is enough to guarantee its absolute profit.
Any game with more than 100 million players will have a profit of hundreds of millions of dollars every month, or even more. You know, the cost of players investing in a game is getting higher and higher now, and games have gradually become the preferred entertainment method for human life. Compared with the usual spending of hundreds, thousands, or even thousands of dollars a night in KTV and bars, spending hundreds or even thousands of yuan a month is not too much for many players.
"It has broken 150 million!" Everyone cheered again and began to look forward to the grand occasion of breaking through 200 million.
At this time, on the other side of the earth, in Essen, a non-county city in North Rhine-Westphalia in western Germany, a discussion about the prospects for the development of the earth's economy is underway. Nine countries, nine heads of state of the world's developed countries, and the finance ministers were divided into two groups, each sitting in a circle, discussing completely different topics.
The finance ministers naturally discussed topics related to the economy. The heads of the nine countries discussed topics related to Lin Feng. As for these nine countries, they are the United States, Britain, Germany, Spain, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Greece, Japan, and South Korea.
'Nu Wa' is naturally the top priority of this topic.
"Everyone, "Infinite Horror" has just been launched. According to its official data, its online users have exceeded 100 million!" Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said sourly.
100 million online players, then it can contribute more than a billion dollars in revenue every month, or even more, and it is cash. And the number of online players is still rising. Its official website has a special online player data section. Although it is impossible to check the relevant data in real time, it can know when a game has created what kind of data. At present, the latest update is that "Infinite Horror" has created a new game record of 100 million online players.
Hearing this number, all the leaders are not so happy. This time, they made a doomsday statement, and all countries suffered disasters. It can be said that it was a mess. In the end, they forced their respective countries to issue a series of decrees to increase wages. As a result, in the end, Lin Feng got the benefit for nothing. This is as depressing as it can be.
"Ladies and gentlemen, let's not talk about him for now, let's just talk about 'Nuwa'. As far as we know, 'Nuwa' is the only artificial intelligence life in the world today. It is intelligent life. We in Japan have been researching this thing, but there has been no breakthrough so far. But although we have not made any breakthroughs, we know how much an artificial intelligence life can do. Aviation, industrial manufacturing, the Internet, and all fields, artificial intelligence life will bring about earth-shaking changes in our lives." Shinzo Abe said in a deep voice, "If we have no progress in this regard, and Lin Feng has the exclusive use of artificial intelligence life, then there can only be one result, that is, let it dominate the world. He is now one of the richest people in the world. If he is allowed to develop, who can compete in the future?"
The heads of state nodded. Indeed, this is an epoch-making product, just like the role of the invention of the steam engine in the industrial revolution. Artificial intelligence life is one of the most core products of today's scientific and technological revolution. Whoever has artificial intelligence life will be the leader in this scientific and technological revolution.
"So, no matter what, we must get 'Nu Wa'. We must be in a fair competition." Shinzo Abe said shamelessly.
"Yes, everyone, it is extremely selfish for Lin Feng to enjoy 'Nu Wa' alone. Such extremely selfish behavior will slow down the progress of the world. Think about Watt, Edison, Newton, Einstein, these scientific masters, all contributed their achievements to everyone in the world for free! We must let Lin Feng hand over 'Nu Wa'." South Korean President Lee Myung-bak shouted.
Many leaders nodded. That's right, these former scientific masters have contributed their scientific crystallizations to the world for free. Otherwise, if everyone kept them, how could there be the prosperity of the world today. Watt invented the steam engine, but he didn't let people use it. Would there be the Industrial Revolution in the 19th century? Edison invented the electric light, but he didn't let people use it. It would still be a dark world now. Newton's universal gravitation, without universal gravitation, many things nowadays cannot be made at all, and Einstein's theory of relativity is the key to human exploration of the universe. And Lin Feng's 'Nu Wa' is to explore the technological revolution and open a key that can lead mankind to the future and the interstellar era.
Lin Feng should contribute it to the world. Let the whole world enjoy such a great scientific and technological achievement. Of course, in return, all mankind will praise Lin Feng's greatness. The heads of state of various countries sang a long paragraph of praise, but in the end, they found that this would never happen at all. Lin Feng would definitely not agree. It is purely delusion to force Lin Feng with such public opinion.
"Everyone, stop this fantasy. How to get 'Nu Wa', or in other words, what we need is not 'Nu Wa', but its source code. As long as we have its 'source code', we can develop our own Adam, Eve, or Zeus!" Bush said loudly.
Once we get 'Nu Wa', it will first be used in the military. This is where artificial intelligence life can play the most role. The United States will become even stronger and can even fight a war with no casualties. Of course, no casualties naturally refers to the US government.
But how? This time we must come up with a comprehensive plan, instead of forcing with rumors like last time, which ended in failure. (To be continued...)
