124: If you were allowed to monopolize the gaming industry, would you create The Matrix?

Seeing that Lu Xingye had finished his experiment, Jarvis walked in with a smile, his steps light, as if he had a spring in his step.

Looking at him,

Jarvis was in a good mood, as if he had done something incredible, and was now like a child showing off to an adult.

"Boss."

"Have you completed your satellite research?"

Lu Xingye nodded slightly: "Yes. Nothing can be hidden from you, my Artificial Intelligence."

Hehe!

"That's natural."

"You know I'm in charge of the entire Hive."

Jarvis let out a dry laugh, his right hand unconsciously reaching out to stroke his chin.

This was a habitual gesture of Lu Xingye.

For some reason, after he acquired a body, he always habitually imitated Lu Xingye's movements.

"Stop being so vain."

"Why do you look so happy? Have you completed the task I assigned you some time ago (monopolizing the gaming industry)?"

Lu Xingye asked with a smile.

The first Skyeye satellite had been successfully developed, costing a total of 7 billion dragon coins, and that didn't even include the construction of the launch pad.

Now Lu Xingye was very short of money.

He urgently needed to monopolize an industry to 'harvest leeks'.

And it had to be a large harvest of leeks.

The Starlink project had a total of 108 satellites, and the funding gap was huge! If he had sufficient funds, he could mass-produce satellites and send all 360 satellites into space as soon as possible... Jarvis walked to the sofa nearby, sat down, crossed his legs into an 'eight' shape, and a slight smile played on his lips:

"Guess?"

"..." Lu Xingye fell silent, watching Jarvis's actions.

Crossing your legs in front of your boss, is that polite?

"Stop playing coy."

"Speak quickly." Lu Xingye straightened his face.

For some reason, he always felt that this Artificial Intelligence had gone astray, with a hint of a hooligan about him.

Hehe!

"Mission accomplished!"

"Not only did I monopolize the gaming industry, but I also crippled Penguin Group."

...Crippled Penguin Group?

This... "..." Lu Xingye was greatly startled by the news, his heart slightly trembling.

This Jarvis fellow, he's capable!

You damn it!

How many things have you done behind my back? How did you manage to cripple Penguin Group?

However,

It's good that it was crippled!

Crippling Penguin Group would allow him to seize its market share. This would be a huge sum of money.

Although Lu Xingye was very shocked internally, he remained outwardly calm. One must maintain a certain demeanor in front of one's subordinates.

"Hmm."

"Well done."

He paused, then asked:

"By the way, during the time I was developing satellites, what else happened at Suihuo Technology? Please tell me everything."

Jarvis rested his chin on his hands, seemingly imitating human thought, and after a moment, he slowly spoke:

"Boss."

"There are two more things I need to report to you."

"The first thing is—"

"While I was dealing with Penguin Group, I also developed the haptic feedback pod, bringing the virtual reality era forward."

"From now on, people's lifestyles will undergo earth-shattering changes."

Virtual reality?

Lu Xingye was slightly stunned again upon hearing this.

He had originally planned to research satellites first, and then proceed with researching virtual reality haptic feedback pods.

He hadn't expected Jarvis to silently complete it for him.

He truly lived up to being a mature Artificial Intelligence.

So nice!

...With the haptic feedback pod developed, it was equivalent to monopolizing the internet.

This would also generate a huge amount of money.

Now Lu Xingye had an almost 'obsessive' desire to make money; he had to make money... make money... make a lot of money.

And then build satellites.

"You've done an excellent job." Lu Xingye didn't hold back his praise.

Immediately after, he asked:

"Since you've unearthed this great treasure of virtual reality, how do you plan to develop this treasure to maximize profits?"

"Of course, by collaborating with other internet manufacturers to develop the virtual world as quickly as possible! I must make money quickly so I can help the boss." After speaking, Jarvis handed Lu Xingye a very complete, already printed virtual reality development plan.

Although Jarvis possessed a very high degree of autonomy, Lu Xingye was still his highest authority, and some important decisions still required Lu Xingye's authorization.

"Boss."

"This is the detailed plan for virtual reality."

"Please take a look at it."

Lu Xingye took the plan and sat shoulder to shoulder with Jarvis. From a distance, the two sitting together gave a sense of harmony.

His gaze fixed on the plan, Lu Xingye began to read carefully... Jarvis's plan was extremely detailed.

It not only specified which internet manufacturers to invite to jointly develop the virtual world, but also established the rules of the virtual world.

It clarified what types of software manufacturers could develop in the virtual world and what types they could not.

Everything was covered in minute detail.

It was all-encompassing.

It was very detailed... As he read to the end, Lu Xingye discovered that Jarvis's virtual reality plan, in its later stages, would even incorporate technologies such as brain-computer interfaces and consciousness uploading.

These two technologies were quite remarkable.

Simply put:

It was about uploading human consciousness to the internet, thereby achieving a form of alternative immortality.

The technology involved was somewhat similar to the movies avatar and The Matrix.

Or perhaps a combination of avatar and The Matrix.

Lu Xingye couldn't help but admire Jarvis's imagination, to have thought out the plan so completely.

However,

The technologies in The Matrix and avatar were a bit too advanced, and Suihuo Technology's current technological foundation simply couldn't develop them.

If he wanted to achieve these two functions, Lu Xingye would have to extract these two technologies from the movies.

However,

Lu Xingye was not prepared to extract these two technologies from the movies for now.

Firstly:

He was somewhat worried that once the real world was transformed into a form of disguised immortality similar to the avatar world,

This world would undergo unpredictable changes.

Even the world's rules might collapse.

Lu Xingye disliked the unknown and didn't like doing things he couldn't control... Secondly,

What Lu Xingye needed was a flesh-and-blood real world, not a virtual world of immortality.

If a virtual world similar to avatar were created, where there were no troubles, no poverty, no hunger, and everyone could achieve spiritual fulfillment,

Who wouldn't want to enter such a world of immortality?

Once everyone in reality entered the virtual world, the real world would be over... No, that's not right.

His thinking was not entirely correct.

Jarvis's approach was not entirely without merit; some of his ideas could be completely re-thought, viewed from a different perspective.
