592 Virus Vaccine (2/2)
But due to the insufficient amount of evidence, Ladisiv's words alone could not prove direct connection between Takeda Pharmaceutical and the infection that broke out in the city of Kejia. Nepon government absolutely would not sanction their star enterprise based on Jiang Chen's one-sided warning and accusation.
Jiang Chen could only hope that the Ghost Agent sent to Yoto could bring him good news.
After Takeda Pharmaceutical introduced the ”pill”, Future Biology also brought out corresponding research results – injection type T virus vaccine. The patient taking the vaccine would be granted with permanent immunity against the T virus that broke out in City K. And there would be no possibility of being infected by that the virus in at least 50 years.
Once the vaccine hit the market, it received wide recognition from the international community and directly impacted Takeda Pharmaceutical's sales.
Regardless of costs or clinical results, Future Biology's vaccine was far superior with the only minor drawback being the production quantity. Takeda Pharmaceutical had to call an urgent press release promising for the development of a more effective anti-virus medicine or vaccine.
Because the vaccine problem was solve, the international medical teams in the city began to gradually leave.
Future Biology invested in a new pharmaceutical plant in Kejia and expanded the daily vaccine production amount to 100 thousand per day. A lot of international and national heal organizations ordered the vaccine. Based on the estimation provided by Tao Ming, because of the gap of T virus vaccine on the international market, Future Biology's 2017 earnings could exceed 12 billion USD!
Although it was only the beginning of the year, when he made the estimate, he voice was filled with certainty.
Even then, Future Biology's financial report was nowhere comparable to Future Technology.
At the end of February, Godly Land was already on the right track and the media had an overwhelmingly positive reception. Based on the report from Future Technology's new CEO Ning Huajian, Godly Land had 110 million active users.
Sitting on such a massive amount of users, even though game was free, there was no need to worry about profitability.
Future Technology gained a large amount of operating experience from New Era. And these experiences were worth being utilized into Godly Land. For example, the auction system and the costume system. Without interfering with the game's playability, they maximized the profitability channels.
But followed the launch of the global server, the small questions missed during the internal testing phase were gradually discovered and fixed with the help of the developers in the apocalypse.
For example, people would become too addicted and spent all day in the virtual world, completely forgetting day and night. The Phantom will not cause any physiological damage to the user's body, but lying on the bed without moving for a long time was damaging to the body itself, and this is without the discussion of eating and drinking water.
To tackle this, Du Yongkang and his programmers added a status panel in the user's menu. Based on the body's response to the brain to confirm the hunger and thirst level of the body, once it was determined to be abnormal, it would remind the player in the field of vision. If the player neglect the warning, the helmet will auto log out to act as a protection mechanism.
On the other hand, to prevent players from becoming too addicted to the virtual world, Future Technology added some limits to gaming time. Based on the time zone of the player, between 8 at night to 6 in the morning, the player's experience and gold reward was 100%. In the day time, any gaming time over 8 hours will be considered tired status with reward level only at 50%. 24 hours of continuous time online (The gap between each login is less than one hour) will trigger the protection mechanism.
Of course, the protection mechanism only applied to workdays. Holidays and weekends restricted the limit on time online with the consideration of people's habit of playing all night long.
Future Technology would introduce the virtual reality hibernation chamber in the future.
With the protection of the nutrient liquid, users could remain in sleep state for an extensive amount of time without causing damage to the body. At that time, players who bought the hibernation chamber which is equivalent to VIP users will be granted the ability to stay online for a continuous period of time until all nutrient liquid is exhausted.
But Jiang Chen thought that for the rich players that could afford the half a million hibernation chambers, they probably won't have that much time to play the game.
But he also knew that in the near future, the application of virtual reality was not limited to gaming. It will become a tool that completely changes everyone's life.
