Chapter 258 The Industrial Revolution

Compared to Huawei, Alibaba and Tencent still lean towards an internet-centric mindset, believing that information technology empowers industries and always using information technology as a foundation to fit industries onto the internet.

Instead of delving into the business and thoroughly understanding it before attempting to empower industrial internet, we should focus on this.

After all, Huawei comes from a real-world business background, making it much more reliable than Alibaba and Tencent in the industrial internet field.

As for JD.com, like other internet companies, JD.com has a large investment portfolio, but before 20 years ago it mainly focused on advertising, marketing and e-commerce.

JD.com invested in many local e-commerce companies 20 years ago.

However, 20 years later, JD.com continued to exert its efforts in the medical field, with JD Health receiving an investment of 830 million US dollars from Hillhouse Capital that year.

After JD Health was listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, its market value reached HK$200 billion.

Therefore, JD.com is pinning its hopes on achieving robotic surgery through industrial VR.

In other words, doctors can perform surgery remotely using industrial VR technology.

This idea would be great if it could be implemented, but the problem lies in the stability of communication.

The precision required for medical surgeries is comparable to that of high-precision manufacturing.

JD.com hopes to connect with a group of hospitals willing to cooperate and then use dedicated lines across cities to ensure stable communication and low latency.

Although medical resources tend to concentrate in first-tier cities, the medical conditions in provincial capitals are better than those in prefecture-level cities and counties, and prefecture-level cities are better than counties.

Therefore, medical resources can be regionally adapted, for example, high-quality medical resources in provincial capitals can only be opened to those within the province.

JD.com's vision and blueprint are perfectly crafted.

When JD.com and Sci-Tech Biotech reached a cooperation agreement, JD Health proposed the idea in its semi-annual report, which received a warm market response. Its market value soared by 50% from less than HK$200 billion in just one month.

It has fallen back now because it hasn't landed yet; there's still a distance to go before it hits the ground.

Let's return to the topic of next-generation brain-computer interface VR.

With the launch of the new brain-computer interface VR, mainstream games on the platform had already been adapted before the launch.

Chen Ran and his team's "Breaking the Law" was successfully launched in early October.

The story of "The Wings of Breaking the Law" is set in the late Ming Dynasty, and the main plot revolves around a series of events that occurred in the sixth year of the Tianqi reign (1626).

Due to its excellent production quality and graphics that are considered the pinnacle of domestic games, it was highly praised by Chinese players as soon as it was released.

Within a month of its launch, global sales exceeded two million copies.

With a price tag of 298 and two million points, the first month's revenue of 500 million should be enough to keep Red Fox Studio alive.

Moreover, this game with a Cthulhu-themed setting in the Ming Dynasty sells better overseas than in China.

It's worth noting that before developing this game, Red Fox Studio was virtually unknown.

Furthermore, because Red Fox Studio did not accept Tencent's investment, Tencent has been suppressing its traffic acquisition efforts.

There are basically no official recommendations.

It's important to know that even games without a publishing license can still attract attention and traffic from social media if they have a good reputation.

After all, even if you buy from Steam in overseas regions, the company will still get a cut.

In 2024, there was not much difference between the domestic Steam market and the semi-banned state.

The combination of various factors has led to "Breaking the Law" becoming even more popular overseas.

IGN gave "Wings of the Law" a high score of nine.

As an aside, IGN also gave Genshin Impact a high score of 9 out of 10, praising its incredible open world and captivating exploration.

The ratings and comments caused a huge uproar in China, to the point that IGN China claimed that the ratings from IGN headquarters had nothing to do with them.

IGN gave "The Wings of Law Breaking" a high score of nine, and Chen Ran and his team did not do much public relations work on it.

This is purely IGN's spontaneous evaluation:

"The Wings of the Law Breaker is an unconventional Chinese game. Although it contains many Chinese elements, you can clearly feel its differences from traditional Chinese games."

It contains all the classic elements of ancient China, such as carved railings, flying eaves, glazed tiles, latticed windows, porcelain, and flying fish robes, but the overall art style gives people a mysterious and crazy feeling.

Both the main storyline and side quests are incredibly rich, making it impossible to put down.

Both mainstream media and console gamers have given it positive reviews.

However, we haven't found any player comments saying that they've seen the plants in the game in real life.

Chen Ran never saw Merlin after the game was released, and the game was a great success.

He is regarded by the industry as a new leader in China's console game industry.

Chen Ran even doubted whether Merlin's visit to him was just his imagination, and whether he had actually found an investment from a Middle Eastern businessman named Harriman.

It's worth noting that in recent years, reskinned browser games with the tagline "If you're a brother, come and fight me" have been very popular in the Middle East, with many wealthy players enjoying these kinds of games.

Therefore, it's not impossible that a Middle Eastern tycoon addicted to Chinese games would invest in him.

However, the game development engine provided by Merlin reminded Chen Ran that it was not a dream but reality.

The funding can be provided by Middle Eastern tycoons, but they can't provide such an advanced cloud gaming engine.

"The Wings of the Law Breaker" is also compatible with the new generation of brain-computer interface VR.

After the launch of the new generation of brain-computer interface VR, the market value of Kechuang Bio approached the 1.5 trillion yuan mark for the first time.
