540 Medias Reaction (2/2)
”Last year, that military project.”
”Oh! The… Zhou family's industry.” Jiang Chen immediately realized and paused. ”What did they say?”
Because of that project, he, unfortunately, gained the interest of CIB. He burned his bridge with the General Staff Department ”without considering the bigger picture,” took out the people from the CIB then escaped to Xiangjiang. Because of that attack, it made him certain about the decision to establish his own area of control.
Although only a year had passed, since so many things happened in the past year, he almost forgot about the forces in the country.
Precisely speaking, the Zhou family was his ”business partner.”
”Based on what they said, when the conference was streaming yesterday, they used our official site to follow the progress of the conference. They're interested in developing applications for virtual reality that we mentioned and immediately called for a board meeting after the end of the conference. They even sent out business representatives to Xiangjiang this morning and advised us of the potential for cooperation.” Xia Shiyu pushed up her glasses.
”Did they mention which area?” Jiang Chen asked.
”In the military field. They asked about the possibility of using immersive virtual reality training to replace live ammunition training.”
”The possibility certainly exists, but it will be hard to implement.” Jiang Chen sunk into his chair. ”And it's impossible to replace it. The coordination and reaction of the body can only be trained by actual exercise.”
Unless training chambers with nutrients were used.
On the other hand, Jiang Chen didn't want to step into the field of military tech. It had to do with confidentiality.
Would a country allow their training modules to be run on foreign servers? Absolutely not! They had to protect their weapon specifications, which were confidential.
And Jiang Chen wouldn't hand over his quantum computer; he wasn't that selfless.
”I didn't give them a precise response,” Xia Shiyu said.
”It's fine even if you reject them because I personally don't have any interest in becoming an arms dealer.”
As if she predicted Jiang Chen would say this, Xia Shiyu sighed.
”The domestic market is still massive, and virtual reality is a big piece of the pie, so there are a lot of people eager to get their hands on it. Take regulation for example - what should be regulated, who should be regulated, and how should it be regulated all haven't been addressed yet. Do you know what I mean?”
”Of course I do. Because it hasn't been addressed, it depends completely on what we have to say before it's adjusted.” Jiang Chen laughed nonchalantly.
In better terms, it was crossing the river while searching for rocks.
”As long as you understand, we can't make the same mistake as Google,” Xia Shiyu reminded him discreetly.
”Don't worry, we won't replicate Google's failure because we don't have a copy-cat that could become our Baidu.”
Once the Phantom completely conquered the high ground of the market, the quantum computer at Coro Island would act as the server and the global virtual reality network would be established. By that time, even if virtual reality technology was made public, no one would be able to hinder Future Technology's control on the market.
Just like now, no country could get rid of the internet.
