8th of July.
Shi Lei woke up early because Dong Guoguo had conveyed a piece of good news to him through Izur.
The second generation of the free-motion operation platform was officially mass-produced in the Lin 'an underground base!
Dong Guoguo had set up two production lines. Each production line had a monthly production capacity of 30,000 units of the free-motion operation platform. Naturally, the monthly production capacity of the two production lines was 60,000 units.
The total cost of the second-generation free-motion operation platform was 2,600 Xia dollars. This cost price also included the transportation cost from the Lin 'an underground base to Shuangqing City.
Although the cost was 600 dollars higher than the VR gaming helmet, Shi Lei did not intend to sell the second-generation free-motion operation platform at a high price.
Compared to the VR gaming helmet, the free-motion operation platform could not greatly improve the most intuitive gaming experience.
The design of the second-generation free-motion operation platform was very clever. It could effectively reduce the fatigue of players and reduce the restrictions on players' movements. However, for ordinary players, the free-motion operation platform was completely unnecessary equipment.
For example, if upgrading from a seamless display plan of four projection cloths to a VR gaming helmet was roughly equivalent to upgrading from a black-and-white monitor to the latest IPS monitor. This upgrade effect was very obvious.
As long as players were not blind, they would be able to see the difference between the two.
Upgrading from the first-generation free-motion operation platform to the second-generation free-motion operation platform was equivalent to upgrading from an ordinary mouse and keyboard to a wireless mouse and keyboard.
Although a wireless mouse and keyboard were more convenient to use, the difference in essence was not big. The user would not feel it clearly.
Therefore, Shi Lei did not intend to sell the second-generation free-motion operation platform at a high price. He only wanted to maintain a reasonable profit.
Shi Lei finished washing up and contacted Dong Guoguo in the Lin 'an underground base through Izur.
After Shi Lei took over the Lin 'an underground base, he opened a connection between the underground base and the Internet.
However, whether it was the underground base's external communication or external data access to the underground base, they all required Izur's consent to complete the connection.
After waiting for a while, Dong Guoguo's voice came from the wireless earpiece. "Boss, did you receive the message I sent?"
"Received!
Old Dong, how is the product's qualification rate? "Shi Lei asked the most important question.
Although the production line for the second-generation free-body sensing operation platform had been completed, what about the passing rate of the finished products manufactured by the production line?
The second-generation free body sensing platform was a high-precision product. Even the slightest error would cause the player's body to feel unwell.
Therefore, the second-generation free-body sensing operation platform had to go through strict inspection before leaving the factory!
"Boss, don't worry!
Our production line integrates the final inspection process.
The passing rate of the finished product may not be 100%, but it is at least 99.99%! "Dong Guoguo said with certainty.
A 99.99% passing rate, which meant that out of 10,000 sets of products, only one set would have a problem!
Based on the production capacity of 60,000 sets per month, only six sets of unqualified products would have problems.
A one in ten thousand error rate was already a very, very good quality control rate among manufacturing enterprises.
Shi Lei smiled. Shi Lei was also very satisfied with the 1/10,000 quality control rate.
Although it couldn't compare to Intel's quality control.
However, it was already much better than most manufacturing companies.
"Old Dong, start the production at full capacity!
Continue to expand the production line. We need at least ten production lines to meet the production demand! "Shi Lei instructed.
The production line of the Lin 'an underground base was not a professional single-product production line, but a comprehensive automated mechanical production line.
For example, the production line of the second-generation free-body sensing operation platform only needed to be slightly modified to produce AIP artificial intelligence prosthetics, VR gaming helmets, steel vehicles, or shadow dragons.
In short, even if the production line of the Lin 'an underground base was built a little more, it wouldn't cause too much waste.
According to Shi Lei's estimation, the second-generation free-body sensing operation platform would need at least three million sets.
If there were only two production lines, with a monthly production capacity of 60,000 sets, it would take 50 months to produce it slowly!
Fifty months was equivalent to slightly more than four years. Not to mention the second-generation somatosensory operating platform, even the third-generation somatosensory operating platform had been successfully developed and officially launched on the market. How could they have so much time to slowly wait for production?
If there were ten production lines to collectively produce the second-generation free-body sensing operation platform, the monthly production capacity would be 300,000 sets. It would only take ten months to complete the production task.
"Boss, if we want to build ten production lines, we'll need about 200 million yuan."
Dong Guoguo reported to Shi Lei that the price of a production line was about 25 million Xia Guoyuan. The Lin 'an underground base had already built two production lines, and eight more production lines needed to be built. Naturally, it would cost another 200 million Xia Guoyuan.
Shi Lei didn't feel the pinch of 200 million yuan. Whether it was his own personal account or Dream Entertainment's account, there was a lot of money left for transfer.
However, because Shi Lei's personal account had transferred 10 million USD to Tao Wenxian yesterday, together with the previous bits and pieces, there was only 6.4 million USD left.
The 200 million yuan for the Lin 'an underground base could only be transferred from Dream Entertainment.
Fortunately, Shi Lei had the final say in Dream Entertainment, and it wasn't a listed company. The allocation of funds was decided by Shi Lei alone.
In Dream Entertainment's account, there was still 2.15 billion USD. Shi Lei had been planning to use such a large sum of money, but he was always entangled with various things and didn't have the opportunity to use it.
According to the exchange rate in 2007, 200 million yuan was about 25 million USD. Shi Lei gave Izur some instructions, then called Mu Shuang.
Izur transferred 25 million USD to the Lin 'an underground base's account.
At the same time, he transferred 25 million USD to Shi Lei's personal account.
Shi Lei's little stash was squeezed dry. After the transfer of 25 million USD, his little stash was full again. There was more than 31 million USD in total.
Dream Entertainment's account still had 2.1 billion USD. Shi Lei didn't use this sum of money in a hurry. Instead, he left it for the development of Mirui Technology Group's headquarters.
Shi Lei had encircled an area of more than ten thousand mu in Shuanghu. It wasn't an easy task to build this piece of land.
Although 2.1 billion USD seemed like a lot, in reality, some of Shi Lei's plans required a lot of money.
Other things aside, if the development of the Yellow Triangle area was developed according to Shi Lei's plans, it would be impossible without 10 billion USD!
10 billion USD could turn Shi Lei's territory in the Yellow Triangle area into Shi Lei's private territory. It was a private territory that couldn't be invaded.
"Old Dong, I've transferred 25 million USD to the Lin 'an underground base's account. According to the plan, build more automatic machine production lines." Shi Lei instructed Dong Guoguo.
"Oh right, Old Dong, how's the mass production of the VR gaming helmet?"
Dong Guoguo smiled bitterly. "Boss, there's a slight problem with the mass production of the VR gaming helmet.
Due to the special nature of the VR gaming helmet, we can't check if every VR gaming helmet is qualified.
Therefore, we can't guarantee the quality of the VR gaming helmet. "
The VR gaming helmet obviously couldn't pass the machine inspection. Naturally, it couldn't guarantee the quality of the finished product.
Shi Lei thought about this problem for a while and smiled. "Old Dong, according to your estimation, what's the quality of the VR gaming helmet?"
Dong Guoguo calculated the situation in his heart. Then, he said in an uncertain tone, "Boss, I can't estimate this problem.
However, according to our production line's technology and Izur's impossible situation, the quality of the finished product is at least 99.9%! "
"A one in a thousand defective products rate isn't unacceptable!
Old Dong, there's only one production line for the VR gaming helmet. Ten thousand units per month, right? "Shi Lei replied.
Dream Entertainment had always announced to the public that the production process of the VR gaming helmet was complicated. Even if the quality of the VR gaming helmet was one in a thousand, Shi Lei could accept it.
After all, Dream Entertainment would provide a perfect after-sales mechanism. Players who bought a defective VR gaming helmet would not only receive a free replacement from Dream Entertainment, but they would also receive a certain amount of compensation.
Shi Lei believed that in the face of strong after-sales and considerate compensation, players wouldn't care about the occasional defective VR gaming helmet at all. They would even hope to buy a defective VR gaming helmet.
"That's right!
One production line can only produce ten thousand VR gaming helmets per month.
Boss, although the cost of the VR gaming helmet is lower, the manufacturing process is more complicated than the free-body operation platform. "Dong Guoguo confirmed Shi Lei's question.
Shi Lei frowned. According to Shi Lei's estimation, the sales of the VR gaming helmet would reach at least two million units. Shi Lei also planned to produce two million units. However, one production line could only produce ten thousand units per month. This made Shi Lei hesitate if he should cut down on the production plan.
"Old Dong, is there still a production line for the VR gaming helmet?
Did you only borrow AIP's artificial intelligence artificial limb production line? "Shi Lei asked.
"No, boss. We've modified an AIP artificial limb production line.
We have enough AIP artificial limbs in stock. Moreover, the number of AIP artificial limbs produced each month is not high. Therefore, we changed it into a VR gaming helmet production line. "Dong Guoguo replied.
Yu Mo Medical Co., Ltd. under Mirui Technology Group only sold two hundred sets of AIP artificial limbs every month. This number of AIP artificial limbs did not cause any pressure on the production.
"Oh?
Old Dong, if we want to produce two million VR gaming helmets, can you calculate how many production lines we need? "Shi Lei asked the professional.
