Super Invincible Battleship

49  Chapter 39: Long-Lost Phone Call

Yan Fei discovered the drawbacks of the Auxiliary Brain, which made it somewhat difficult for him to quickly develop his own forces with its assistance. However, after sleeping on it, Yan Fei suddenly had an epiphany the next morning, thinking of an excellent strategy.

Technologies related to industrial manufacturing require many prerequisite technologies, and indeed, parsing and inferring these technologies takes a lot of time. However, there are several emerging industries that don't have as many prerequisites, which can be developed to seize opportunities for rapid growth.

Originally, Yan Fei planned to prioritize the development of the information technology industry, since it is an emerging industry. The information industry doesn't require many precursor technologies and has enormous development potential. As long as it has core technologies, it is possible to grow into a world-class super enterprise, and China has several such super enterprises.

But several recent events have caused Yan Fei to have concerns. China and the United States are in a trade war, and once the United States exerted its power and stopped providing chips and operating software to Chinese enterprises, it killed off a large Chinese technology enterprise. This exposed the Chinese enterprises' weakness of lacking core technologies. Therefore, even if Yan Fei were to enter the information technology industry, he definitely wouldn't be able to solve the hardware problem in the short term. So even if his enterprise became the world's number one, as soon as the United States throttled him by not supplying chips or not making their products compatible with his, his enterprise would immediately be done for.

To break through this barrier, core hardware must be developed. This brings the situation back to square one, which is the lack of a large amount of high-end scientific and technological prerequisite knowledge regarding chips, and even if these prerequisites were met, he still lacks the equipment to produce these core hardware, which only Western countries possess. So in the end, his development is still limited by the technological blockade and equipment export of Western countries like the United States.

Therefore, Yan Fei temporarily gave up on the information technology industry, as it is a massive systemic project, and he currently lacks the ability to develop in this field. But once he has the capability, he will certainly intervene in this industry and completely break the Western technological blockade on China.

Besides the information technology industry, the biomedical technology industry is also emerging. From the rise of biomedical technology to now, it has only been a few short decades. The related knowledge is not as vast and comprehensive as basic science and can be said to be a minor branch on the complete technology tree. If Yan Fei specializes in the biomedical branch, he can save a great deal of time and might soon get hold of cutting-edge black technology in this field.

If he were to develop the manufacturing industry, the required funding would be enormous. Not only would a large amount of land resources be needed, various types of equipment would also have to be purchased, and there would be no visible results in the short term. Therefore, for Yan Fei, the fastest returning industry would undoubtedly be the biomedical industry. The biomedical technology doesn't need too much capital, won't require too many production sites once production begins, and the production equipment is easy to obtain. Once the products gain consumer acceptance, they can rise rapidly in a short period.

Most importantly, in the biomedical industry, no one can choke off Yan Fei's enterprise. As long as his enterprise grows, no one can stop it.

Yan Fei has one hundred million in cash, so his initial start-up capital is already in place. Once the Auxiliary Brain can infer practical biomedical technologies, his company can start up quickly. And once his company grows strong, his status will be as solid as a rock, and no one will dare to easily go against him.

Having gradually solidified his ideas, Yan Fei made a development plan. He then launched the Drone, ordering the Drone Assisted Intelligent Brain hidden in the ocean trench near Shanghai to cease parsing and inferring other technologies. Instead, it used Quantum Radar to connect to the WIFI at his home and began downloading various biomedical knowledge from the Internet.

On the Internet of Earth, countless pieces of knowledge about biomedicine are available for free download. A large amount of experimental data on biological entities can be acquired without charge, and in some large medical forums, a wealth of clinical medical data can be obtained. Of course, the real trade secrets of biomedical technology cannot be found on the Internet.

The data related to biomedical technology is as vast as a sea of smoke, and even with the Auxiliary Brain's formidable speed of downloading without interruption, it took a full two days to download all the related materials from the Internet. In the time that followed, the Auxiliary Brain would keep an eye on the Internet's dynamics. As soon as new speculations or experimental data about biomedical technology appeared, it would download them to its database and use these materials for parsing and inferring.

Although biomedical technology is only a minor branch on the technology tree and hasn't had many years of development, the relevant knowledge involved is still very extensive, and the Auxiliary Brain's progress in parsing is quite slow. After all, there is a blank in the Auxiliary Brain's technology tree, and all knowledge accumulation has to start from scratch. But once there is a starting point, the process of parsing and inferring will accelerate.

The Auxiliary Brain has no physical form, and all its parsing and inference capabilities can only be performed within its database. Even if results are inferred, it cannot conduct experiments on its own. However, once it understands the detailed data of biological entities, along with the experimental and clinical data published online by various laboratories, it can simulate similar experiments. After repeated verification, once the experimental data is found to be correct, the Auxiliary Brain will finalize the technology and mark it on the technology tree. As long as a technology is marked on the technology tree, it indicates the technology is correct – such is the amazing nature of the technology tree.

On the Internet, detailed data on various biological entities are extensive and complete. Through decades of human research, not only has the animal body been thoroughly studied, but the human body has also been comprehensively researched, so the Auxiliary Brain easily obtained a vast amount of human body data.

In the process of human research on biological entities, each study would result in some discoveries, large or small, and the same research by different people could lead to different findings. However, due to certain reasons, the research data of these researchers were not integrated. That is, I discovered this, you discovered that, but due to various reasons, these findings discovered by different people are not completely unified.

After obtaining these data, the Auxiliary Brain could combine them and immediately found many things usually overlooked by people. That is to say, the Auxiliary Brain truly integrated humanity's discoveries, and even if the current biomedical technology ceased to develop, it could continue to enhance human biomedical technical levels until all the developmental potential was exhausted.

However, this integration process requires massive data computation and simulation experiments, and the Auxiliary Brain's computing capability is still insufficient for rapid data integration. But Yan Fei believed that as long as the Auxiliary Brain continued to parse and infer, it would certainly make new, world-shocking discoveries based on current knowledge.

A week later, the day when Yan Fei's home was to be demolished finally arrived. Over the past few days, Yan Fei had moved the belongings from his home to a small apartment in the city. Taking one last look at the only building his parents left him, his heart filled with sorrow, he turned and walked away. The demolition team entered behind him, starting to tear down the house imbued with Yan Fei's special attachments.

Living in his new home, Yan Fei devoted all his energy to the Auxiliary Brain.

In that time, the Auxiliary Brain had been analyzing the biomedical technology data downloaded from the Internet. Although it was starting from scratch in learning this science, it was growing at a remarkable speed. It autonomously collected and corrected those aspects that were usually neglected or had deviations. Therefore, the biomedical technology it possessed at the moment, albeit basic, far exceeded that of other biomedical tech companies around the world.

Yan Fei hadn't been going out these days, nor had anyone sought him out. The missile attack at the Shanghai dock had been deliberately downplayed by the authorities, who simply reported it as a chemical explosion without any casualties.

As for the heavy casualties among Marquis's men, it was portrayed as a massive vendetta among gangs. Then the Police Department launched a large-scale operation and wiped out the remnants of Marquis's criminal forces. Even the other unrelated gangs suffered heavy losses during this crackdown and were forced to lay low, no longer daring to cause trouble.

The yacht that was sunk by Yan Fei's drone off the coast of China didn't even make it to the news, as if it had been forgotten altogether.

Yan Fei enjoyed a rare period of leisure time. His only hope now was that the Auxiliary Brain could come up with some black technology, which he would then use to build up his own forces.

That day, as Yan Fei was monitoring the progress of the Auxiliary Brain's analysis, he received a long-overdue phone call. Hesitating for a moment after seeing the caller ID on his mobile phone, he eventually answered the call, and a crisp, sweet female voice came through.

"Fei, it's me!" n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Hearing this voice, Yan Fei felt a bit dazed, but quickly recovered and said, "Pingping, it's been a long time, what made you think to call me?"

The girl named Pingping laughed, "What, can't I contact you if there's nothing wrong?"

Yan Fei replied with a laugh, "No, it's just that it's been so long since we last spoke. Hearing your voice all of a sudden makes me happy."

Pingping said, "I'm back in Shanghai."

Delighted, Yan Fei asked, "When did you get back?"

"Just arrived," Pingping replied, "And guess what, Yang Qi has also come to Shanghai. Let's get together!"

Surprised, Yan Fei said, "You mean Yang Qi is in Shanghai too? Is he alone?"

She answered, "No, he's on a business trip with colleagues. I was also surprised when I found out; I didn't expect him to be able to travel for work now."

"Alright, let's meet up tonight and call Yang Qi too," Yan Fei said.

"Okay, I'll let Yang Qi know," Pingping said.

The girl who had been talking to Yan Fei was named Lu Pingping. She and Yan Fei, along with Yang Qi, were classmates at Zhendan University. However, after graduation, they had gone their separate ways and seldom met. Now that Lu Pingping had returned to Shanghai and Yang Qi was also there on business, it was a good opportunity for them to get together and catch up on each other's lives.
