"Hey! Big brother, did you watch 'Things in a Different World' last night? It's really super ~ ~ ~ awesome! "
Elijah pulled Tang En's hand and shouted happily, "I feel that a lot of things in it are incredible! It's super interesting! "
"Yes, yes, yes, of course I watched it, and I was the first one to watch it."
Tang En sighed again and again. He was worried.
Today was a rest day, so Elijah didn't have to go to school. This girl ran over to Tang En, obviously wanting Tang En to accompany her.
But Tang En still had a lot of things to do today …
"My classmates are all talking about this cartoon. Everyone is looking forward to the next episode. Big brother, can you tell the TV station to hurry up and broadcast the next episode …"
Elijah tried to act coquettishly.
"Don't worry, just wait patiently. There's a schedule for the broadcast of the cartoon."
Tang En sighed again. He had underestimated the appeal of cartoons to children. In this world where entertainment was scarce, such an interesting thing was suddenly born. It had only been broadcast for a few days, but it immediately set off a huge storm in the Irus Empire.
Not only children, but even many adults were fascinated by this new form of artistic expression.
What surprised Tang En even more was the keen intuition of the businessmen. When the cartoon was broadcast to the third episode, there were already companies in the market that began to imitate the content of the cartoon and sell some peripheral products.
This was Tang En's plan from the beginning. After all, the technical requirements for producing peripheral products were not high, but it could create a profitable industry chain that could solve many people's work problems.
But taking it without asking for permission was a different matter. That was piracy.
Tang En himself didn't care about the loss of profits, but he had to protect the environment of the entire market. It was like a big tree. If the roots were crooked from the beginning, no matter how tall it grew in the future, the whole tree would be crooked.
Regarding this matter, Tang En and Fiona held a meeting. They sent a large number of field personnel to those companies and asked them to buy the rights to develop peripheral products. Otherwise, they would use legal means to protect the rights of the original.
Piracy was a very serious topic. The Prandal businessmen didn't have that kind of awareness, and they didn't even feel that what they were doing was wrong.
Tang En's thoughts were very simple. Before piracy became a habit, he would first kill this bad habit and directly promote the rights of the original copyright.
In the end, among all the companies that sold peripheral products, Tang En picked five of the most qualified and had the best attitude, and gave them the authorization, while all the other companies' pirated peripheral products were banned.
Not only was this matter of course, but it was also discussed in the most recent interview Talk Show. Taking advantage of the popularity of the magical TV, everyone in the Irus Empire understood the importance of intellectual property rights.
Although he didn't see any results yet, Tang En believed that after this incident, people would understand that protecting intellectual property rights was also protecting their own interests.
Tang En had calculated very well. If the animation-related industry chain developed healthily, it would soon grow into a huge market with a market scale of more than a hundred million dollars. Although the Tang Chamber of Commerce did not care much about it, to those small chambers of commerce, the cake of this market was already big enough. They did not even have the ability to take a bite out of it. As long as there were no pirated products, everyone could share this market and make a lot of money. Why not?
Therefore, it quickly became a consensus to protect the market order together.
In Tang En's plan, the entertainment industry was a market for ordinary people, and also a consumer market that stimulated economic vitality. A large amount of money flowed into the market through his planning and construction, and into the pockets of the residents, and then through the rich entertainment industry, the gold coins in their pockets would be taken out. Therefore, in order to better enjoy life, they would work twice as hard. This was a very idealized market model.
Tang En only needed to pay attention to the top military, scientific research, magical modification technology, and other fields. If he controlled the development of this world and strictly followed his plan, this world might still have a chance to survive.
While listening to Elijah's nagging and her classmates showing off the cards and peripheral toys they had collected, Tang En came to the Magical Engineering Research Institute.
"Where's Jean?"
"Master Jean isn't here."
Klotto, who was welding parts, pushed his glasses and said without looking up, "It is said that the Starmoon Tower observed a medium-sized Chaos Gate over at the Solaguer Mountains, so he took the special mobile unit to solve the problem."
Tang En raised his eyebrows. The Solaguer Mountains was where the Holy Cathedral of Wind was located, and it was also the base camp of the Dark Serpent. However, the mountains were flattened by Tang En, so this Chaos Gate naturally had nothing to do with the Dark Serpent. Maybe it was just a coincidence that it opened there.
After all, the probability of a Chaos Gate appearing in the Ronitante was unusually high.
However …
"What the hell is this special mobile unit?"
Tang En felt that he had never set up such a unit.
Klotto raised his head and pointed to the Magical Powered Armor in front of him and said, "The first batch of materials sent back from the Astral Plane had excellent performance, so we specially made a batch of Magical Powered Armor. Although it has not been completely improved to a satisfactory level, it has preliminary combat ability. Jean felt that it should be taken out for a combat test, and he happened to receive the news, so he took the people out."
Tang En was speechless. "I'm asking about the special mobile unit …"
"Jean said that the unit equipped with the Magical Powered Armor should of course not be confused with the previous unit, so he came up with this name."
After a pause, Klotto smiled and said, "You don't say, I think this name is quite appropriate."
It turned out that it was just a temporary combat team.
Tang En leaned over to take a look and asked casually, "How many power armors have you produced? Is it enough to deal with the Chaos Gate? "
"We produced one hundred units in the initial stage, and they are all full-body models. The interior has been modified with shock absorbers, respirators, and so on. In addition, they are equipped with chainswords, large-caliber machine guns, and miniature missile launchers. They are equipped with twelve miniature missiles."
Speaking of this, Klotto thought of another thing. He wiped his hands and said to Tang En, "Speaking of which, I want to further modify the power armor."
"Oh? How? "
"Dimensional warehouse."
Klotto took Tang En and Elijah to a sample cabinet and pointed to the dimensional warehouse inside. "This is the dimensional warehouse for the Golden Giant Statue to mine. I'm thinking that if the power armor can also be equipped with the dimensional warehouse, the continuous combat ability of the power armor will definitely be greatly enhanced."
Klotto did not have this idea at first. After all, dimensional equipment was too rare and expensive. However, as several Golden Giant Statues were put into use in the Astral Base and began to mine minerals, and a large number of rare minerals were sent back, his mind became active.
Although dimensional equipment was expensive, the materials in the Astral Base were endless, and there was no need to worry about wasting them.
Based on the advantages of the Astral Base, he thought of developing a mini version of the dimensional warehouse and equipping it with the power armor. This way, the power armor could reduce a lot of external weight and increase the amount of ammunition storage. The combat time would be doubled.
"This is a good idea."
Tang En nodded. "With the development of the Astral Base, the Astral Base will soon begin to produce Astral Crystals. By then, dimensional equipment will no longer be so unattainable. Let's do it."
"Of course."
The proposal was approved, and Klotto smiled. "In addition, I also want to further enhance the combat ability of the power armor. A while ago, I talked to Ms. Eustisa about the artificial soul, and then I learned some interesting things. Perhaps, the potential of the artificial soul is greater than we thought."
Tang En nodded noncommittally. "What did you think of?"
The potential of the artificial soul technology was, of course, huge. To put it simply, the artificial soul could become a tireless robot on the production line, greatly increasing production efficiency. To put it simply, the artificial soul could even replace the human facial features to perform tasks such as observation, exploration, detection, targeting, and attack.
However, their development of the artificial soul was not deep enough. It was like having a quantum computer with unlimited potential, but only having the programming ability of the DOS era. The two did not match at all.
Let's use the computer language as an example. The artificial soul technology that the Einstein Baylen Family was currently researching was more like the state of assembly language.
In the early stage of the artificial soul technology, which was similar to the period of machine language, they directly set the basic state of the artificial soul to achieve specific functions. When this specific instruction set accumulated enough, they simply packaged these researched instruction sets into a series of basic instruction sets to save time.
Later, when they created a new artificial soul, they instilled these basic instruction sets into it, and then began to control some of the behaviors and functions of the artificial soul through the control instruction set. This was equivalent to the assembly language stage of the development of computer language.
At this stage, the alchemists of the Einstein Baylen Family were still tinkering with the basic instructions at the bottom. When they found a function that was not available, they began to patch it. Therefore, these basic instruction sets were becoming more and more complete. Tang En estimated that if he continued to catalyze, the artificial soul technology would soon develop to the next stage, which was the stage of advanced language. They would begin to adjust and control the functions of the artificial soul through some richer integrated instructions.
By that time …
Tang En felt that there would be a technological leap, and it would not be a problem to create an artificial soul computer …
"By the way, why are you looking for Jean?"
Tang En snapped back to reality, wrote down what he just thought of, and said, "There is something I need his help with … Elijah, what are you doing?"
