The online seminar ended, and Fang Hong took off his VR headset. Looking at the device in his hand, he nodded to himself with satisfaction: "It seems that Xingyu Technology will not need to borrow money next year..."
After experiencing it personally, Fang Hong is very confident about this head-mounted display terminal and believes that its sales will definitely not be low.
Once Qunxing makes an effort, all the brother companies will come to help, and the entire content ecosystem can be quickly built up and take shape. Moreover, this is to create a brand-new industrial system, and other brother companies can also benefit from it. It does not mean that only Xingyu Technology will benefit.
For example, WeChat has brought a major upgrade to the Internet social experience in the immersive scene of head-mounted terminal devices. Users can visualize their own online identities on the Internet social platform and personalize their own virtual characters on the Internet.
This is simply a super Plus version of Tencent's QQ Show, which has been upgraded from a two-dimensional flat image to a three-dimensional stereoscopic image, and has richer interactive scenes and interactive elements. The fact that QQ Show can sell well proves that it has great market prospects.
Elements such as personalization and customization are more popular among the current younger generation, especially senior Internet surfing enthusiasts. They are very keen to create their own exclusive personality display on the Internet and pursue unique and personalized virtual characters. Otherwise, how can games like "League of Legends" make a lot of money by selling skins and props? This is regarded as players expressing their own personality through game characters.
WeChat itself is a social software with social attributes. The virtual characters that display the identities of users can also be roughly understood as selling skins.
……
In the coming days, WeChat will continue to enrich the content products for head-mounted display terminals, Yixin Video will continue to optimize and iterate, and related companies under Qunxing Group are all working hard to create a content oasis.
At Xingyu Technology, Qin Feng's work focus is also on the summer launch of VR headset terminal equipment. This year's technology circle is destined to be very lively.
At present, all of these are still highly confidential, waiting to make a splash at Xingyu Technology's summer press conference. Moreover, this summer press conference will be different. Companies such as WeChat and Yixin Video will also be guests and showcase their products for head-mounted display terminals at Xingyu Technology's summer press conference.
Although this is not yet a true virtual world, it is undoubtedly a big step towards a true virtual world.
Fang Hong put the head-mounted display terminal aside. He sat in his original position motionless and fell into deep thought.
If current technological trends continue, a true virtual world will one day arrive. It is not a question of possibility, but a matter of time.
The virtual world must be created, and it must be done well. Fang Hong has nothing to worry about.
But he also deeply realized that human civilization cannot be immersed in the virtual world, and still needs to look up at the stars and explore the vast real world outside.
Truly meaningful life and civilization should be outward-looking rather than inward-looking. They should constantly expand their living space into the depths of the real universe and broaden their existence in the universe, rather than immersing themselves in a virtual, illusory nest created by technology.
If the virtual world develops unilaterally to the extreme, perhaps an ultimate picture like this will emerge: at that time, the surface of the earth will gradually disappear without traces of human beings, and forests and grasslands will be restored. All life will be prosperous, but the shadow of human beings cannot be seen on the surface.
Somewhere deep beneath the surface of the earth, there is a super base running a supercomputer, inside which live tens of billions of digital people. If such an ultimate picture becomes a reality, human life and civilization will have no meaning.
Creating a virtual world is one thing, but we must not go to extremes unilaterally. Fang Hong has a deep and clear understanding of this.
Rising to the height of the entire human civilization, only by looking up at the starry sky and constantly expanding one's living space and existence in the real universe can human civilization be on the correct path and have meaning of existence.

Now it is March. In the capital market, the New Securities 3 Index has already stood above the 50 point mark. This rising trend stopped falling at 2200 points and has been rising by more than 1933 percentage points. It has left the main board indices of the two cities far behind in the three major A-share trading markets.
However, the NX50 Index has been adjusting at a high level in recent days, and expectations for another US interest rate hike are growing stronger.
Shortly after the market closed on Friday afternoon, March 3, Matrix Quantum announced a blockbuster news that caused a sensation in the technology circle, especially the artificial intelligence industry. The company's head Chen Yu directly announced that the company's second-generation AI language model was officially open source.
On the day the news was announced, people in the technology circle were unable to sit still. Industry insiders knew best how powerful Matrix Quantum's AI technology was. The company's spiritual realm search and online translation were so advanced that almost no peers could rival them.
Moreover, Lingjing Search has already surpassed Baidu in terms of development, and its market share is almost the same as Baidu's. The fact that Baidu's stock price is now stagnant is the best reflection of this.
Many peers in the industry have also entered this field, but found that they could not compete with Matrix Quantum at all. Unexpectedly, the company actually open-sourced the second-generation large model and directly skipped the first generation.
As soon as the news was announced, there was a rapid AI craze in the industry. Many people were very enthusiastic about adopting what others used. Now they had a story to tell. They could call themselves an AI technology research and development company and the products could be quickly produced.
Fang Hong doesn't really care whether those who follow the trend are serious about it or just trying to make money by telling stories. He just wants to stir up this craze and blow up a big technology bubble. On the one hand, on the other hand, only when everyone plays with big models can Matrix Quantum sell hardware and computing chips in the future.
During weekends, artificial intelligence, large model training, etc. have become the hottest topics in the technology circle. Many people have begun to participate, and some have even started their own businesses at the speed of light.
It is very uncomfortable for other companies in this industry because they found that after Matrix Quantum became open source, even some third-rate companies dared to call themselves high-tech companies engaged in AI. The most uncomfortable thing is that those companies that they originally looked down upon used Matrix Quantum's open source technology to make large models, and they seemed to be better than theirs.
There is only one choice for them, which is to follow suit and use Matrix Quantum's open source technology. Otherwise, it would be a great shame if they couldn't even beat those companies that copied the company's technology. It would be better for them to quit the circle and stop playing.
One thing that the outside world is very concerned about is what the purpose of Matrix Quantum's open source move is?
After some analysis, many people have speculated that some people in the investment circle have realized that the matrix quantum operation will greatly boost the company's display chip and computing chip businesses in the future.
Matrix Quantum has lowered the threshold by open-sourcing its technology. Many people who cannot play can also train their own large AI models. However, to train large models, they have to purchase computing chips. As more players participate, the demand for computing power increases sharply, and Matrix Quantum will be able to sell hardware better.
Many people in the technology and investment circles seemed to suddenly realize that it was no wonder that Matrix Quantum chose to open source its technology. It turned out that it was aiming to sell better hardware, and this logic was valid.
