327: Chapter 326 Planning and Organizing

The news came suddenly and felt rather absurd.

If it hadn't been issued by officials and forcibly pinned to the top of all major platforms, almost no one would have noticed it.

But even so, those who saw the news only gave it a cursory glance before scrolling past. Occasionally, someone might accidentally click on it, read the whole text, sigh about how chaotic foreign countries are, and then return to the endless tide of the internet.

There is so much information available; what could be more worth looking at than this?

Somalia?

That place is simply too far from China. Even what is happening in Somalia seems like a world away when viewed from within China.

The only thing that might catch people's attention is that there are actually Chinese personnel stationed in Somalia. No one knows what the country was thinking, or what there is to care about in such a dump of a place as Somalia. But since the personnel have already been safely evacuated, then it is fine.

No one goes to investigate the story behind this: why did a firefight occur? Is it serious? Why evacuate the personnel? What were these people doing there?

No one cares.

These things are not as interesting as getting into a keyboard war under a post.

Wang Shuo, naturally, was one of these onlookers.

At this moment, he was sitting on the sofa, crossing his legs, and carefully reading the news report on his tablet.

Unlike most onlookers, his mindset was very peaceful. He was neither pessimistic nor despairing, nor was he gloating. Sometimes, when he saw the comments of foolish netizens, he actually found them quite interesting.

Perhaps this is the shift in his mindset.

Before obtaining the core, if he had seen news like the United States sanctioning a Chinese enterprise, he probably would have been like some of the indignant netizens on the internet now, unable to wait to vent his grief and anger with his keyboard.

Perhaps he even would have gotten into a spray war with those idiots who supported the sanctions until one side was left unable to function in daily life.

As for now... he has reached enlightenment.

Keyboards, anyone can type on them; trash talk, anyone can say it. Getting angry at these people, aside from leaving oneself full of suppressed anger with nowhere to vent, doesn't really do anything to the other party.

If you want to do something, you have to do it ruthlessly.

"Zero."

"Please instruct, sir."

"Take this, this, this, and this..."

Wang Shuo tapped a few avatars on the screen. These were carefully selected accounts that, just by looking at their posts, one could tell belonged to veteran runners.

"Collect their information. If there are no issues, hand it over to the Police Station as usual."

"Understood, sir. Initiating active intrusion methods to collect information. This may violate relevant regulations. Please confirm the command."

Wang Shuo did not hesitate and said calmly: "Highest sequence, authorize execution."

After the embarrassment with Chen Xin last time, Wang Shuo had very promptly changed the confirmation password. In fact, as Zero became more and more perfect, such confirmation passwords were gradually becoming unnecessary.

But Wang Shuo still had no intention of canceling them.

Having casually decided the future living conditions of several people, Wang Shuo put the tablet aside, leaned comfortably on the sofa, stretched, and felt that something was missing.

Hmm... if someone could serve him a cup of tea right now, the atmosphere might be more to his liking.

It's just that...

After carefully counting the current personnel in the company, it didn't seem appropriate to ask anyone.

Sighing, Wang Shuo could only get up himself, walk to the tea station to brew a cup of tea, and return to the sofa with the cup.

Taking a gentle sip of the sweet tea, Wang Shuo thought carefully.

The emergence of the Super Chip was undoubtedly a good move.

Especially by successfully making a connection with Huaneng Group through the Chip and successfully tying Huaneng Group to his own chariot.

What?

You say Huaneng Group hasn't gotten on board yet?

How is that possible? After using our Chip, could it run off to someone else's house?

It doesn't matter, take it slow. Wang Shuo will always make Huaneng Group tie itself tighter and tighter to this carriage until it can't get off.

Hmm... perhaps it's not a carriage, but an interstellar spaceship.

At that time, it will be hard to say who took advantage of whom.

It must be said that with the core's blessing, Wang Shuo now has enough psychological advantage no matter who he faces.

Not as good as you now?

It doesn't matter. We will see in thirty years. Ten years later, looking back from the edge of the solar system, we will see if you are convinced.

Ahem, off-topic.

Facts have proven that even the underlying technology of the Humanoid Race is something that current humans must look up to, not to mention the advanced stuff later. Some things, even Wang Shuo, the successor, found his head spinning, completely unable to understand.

This is also the reason why he wants to recruit people like He Chenguang, Song Xuezhi, and others.

These things cannot rely entirely on himself; one day, others will need to study them. What Wang Shuo can do is to try his best to ensure his starting advantage. When these things become commonplace in the future, he can also rely on the core and these mainstays to continue to grow and strengthen.

At that time, Frontier Technology will inevitably become a behemoth, a behemoth far beyond everyone's imagination!

Wang Shuo imagined the future of Frontier Technology and smacked his lips lightly.

The idea is beautiful, but reality still needs to be walked step by step.

With the successive participation of Huaneng Group, Chen Group, and the Central Academy of Sciences in the Super Chip project, the funding problem that troubled Wang Shuo most was also solved.

Huaneng Group is worthy of being one of the top super-large groups in China, and its financial strength is far beyond Wang Shuo's imagination.

Less than twelve hours after the contract was signed, 30 billion in funds had already been injected into the regulatory account.

General Manager Yu Tongguang looked calm and unruffled: "After consultation with Elder Ren and me, to show our sincerity, all the startup funds for the wafer factory and Chip factory agreed upon in the contract will be provided by Huaneng Group. These are just the first batch of funds."

When Wang Shuo asked him how much he planned to invest in total, this General Manager Yu looked calm and acted cool with great proficiency: "After evaluation by professionals we hired, based on the current general market price plus a 20% premium, it is calculated at 100 billion."

Hearing this figure, Wang Shuo admitted that he was envious, very unyieldingly envious.

He had to be envious; this was simply a real-life version of using money to crush people.

Who could withstand such a test?

So, Wang Shuo nodded with a touched expression, and then unceremoniously misappropriated 20 billion of the first 30 billion, without even saying a word.

What wafer factory, what Chip factory, is 10 billion in initial startup funds not enough?

30 billion just to lay a foundation is something only a prodigal son would do.

Moreover, the value these 20 billion could create in his hands was far greater than throwing it into the ground.

Next is the problem of how to divide the money.

These 20 billion are enough to accelerate all of Wang Shuo's projects under construction and those about to be built by several orders of magnitude.

Wang Shuo picked up a pen and sorted it out carefully.

First is Song Xuezhi's laboratory. Wang Shuo intends to prepare the entire laboratory with the highest specifications. It must not only have the ability to produce high-tech Prosthetic Limbs but also undertake other experimental tasks.

The most important of which is gene research.

The human body is a peculiar organism that has not been fully revealed to this day.

Genes are the most mysterious and basic parts of this compound combination composed of carbon and water, apart from the brain.

The technology of the Humanoid Race is very advanced, but their research in genetics is far behind the normal level of civilization. It can even be said that it is still in a very initial stage.

At the very least, from the information Wang Shuo has come into contact with so far, this is the case.

This means that Wang Shuo cannot quickly advance the progress of gene research through the Humanoid Race. Except for a few basic gene potions, Wang Shuo has no other technical indicators and experimental data for reference.

But these few gene potions... to be honest, Wang Shuo does not dare to use them directly. If even the slightest problem occurs, he will be the greatest sinner in human society.

Therefore, a comprehensive laboratory is essential, and relevant researchers need to be recruited as soon as possible.

This part requires money.

Secondly, Wang Shuo plans to set up a medical device company specifically to digest the research results of the laboratory. The best state Wang Shuo expects is that the experimental results of the laboratory can be directly converted into company profits, and the company profits can be enough to feed back into the laboratory to continue research, moving towards each other and becoming better together.

This part of the money does not need to be too much. It only needs to find a few people to build the company framework, and the necessary venues and other facilities can be built slowly.

Third, Wang Shuo needs a new experimental base, an peripheral experimental base in the city. After careful consideration, Wang Shuo intends to find a new piece of land in Hanzhong City and build it directly into the new headquarters of Frontier Technology.

It's just that if this happens, the personnel of the Frontier Technology headquarters must be expanded. Otherwise, a few thousand square meters of office building would only have three people sitting there, and the rest would be robotic arms, robots, or Drones running around. Not to mention whether people would be scared to death if they saw it, even Wang Shuo himself would not want to deal with machines all day.

Wouldn't it be better to raise a few little secretaries with good figures and appearances?

Ahem, of course, this is just a thought. The main reason is still the second one. If the laboratory is set up at the headquarters, then in addition to experimental personnel, logistical support personnel are also essential. Always letting Liu Yemei worry about it alone, Wang Shuo always feels a bit guilty.

Fourth, a fully automated production factory. The original narrow warehouse could no longer meet Wang Shuo's needs at all. He is now in urgent need of a fully automated processing plant where he can place equipment and turn Wang Shuo's theories into reality. For this reason, Wang Shuo is prepared to cooperate with Chen Zhongxuan again, directly providing industrial master machine technology to Chen Zhongxuan, and upgrading Chen Group into the most advanced industrial equipment manufacturer in China and even the world in one fell swoop.

If this goal is achieved, then the stock of Chen Group will at least increase tenfold, and the volume will also expand tenfold. He will then have another reliable ally.

Fifth, the upgrade of the zero egg platform. This is the top priority. In Wang Shuo's plan, Zero has always been the core of the core. No matter when, Zero's core position will never be shaken. And the zero egg extended from Zero is naturally the top priority. Although it is just a simple upgrade, after calculation, this plan is actually the place where the most money is spent.

The reason is also very simple. There is too much basic technology required. If possible, Wang Shuo even wants to use nanotechnology to directly create a nano zero egg.

Counting carefully, Zero's Chip needs to be upgraded, the shell needs to be upgraded, the structure needs to be upgraded, the sensor needs to be upgraded, the screen needs to be upgraded, the camera needs to be upgraded, the action method needs to be upgraded, and the energy reserve needs to be upgraded. These all need basic technical support.

If the current zero egg can still rely on suppliers to provide parts for assembly, then the upgraded zero egg will use parts with technology that does not exist in the world at all. This means that Wang Shuo needs to create a supply chain by himself.

Note, it is a set, not a line.

Everything from raw material collection all the way to the appearance of the finished product, with dozens of links in the middle, requires Wang Shuo to handle it by himself. The time and energy involved are far from as simple as just saying it.

After thinking about it, Wang Shuo finally decided to do it. The upgrade of the zero egg can be done step by step, but the research and production of basic technology must be put on the agenda as soon as possible.

Sixth, the First Equipment Factory. With money, Wang Shuo also began to consider comprehensively upgrading the equipment of the First Equipment Factory, and increasing investment in the subordinate Weapon research institute, at least to ensure that it has enough attraction.

Seventh, the development and upgrade of conceptual equipment.

Eighth, the Security Company...

Wang Shuo wrote while thinking.

He wrote in detail about things that were well-thought-out, and wrote concisely about things that were not well-thought-out, waiting for improvement.

Time passed quickly. After writing two or three pages, Wang Shuo straightened his waist and looked at the plan on the paper, feeling a little heartbroken.

A dozen or so items in total left almost nothing of the 20 billion he had just received.

Money is still so fast to spend, and even the real big projects haven't been listed yet.

It's already so expensive now, so if he wants to go to the moon or something later, wouldn't it cost thousands of billions?

Shaking his head slightly and sighing, Wang Shuo ordered Zero to scan the plan and convert it into text for storage, then stretched, looked at the time, and it was already lunch time. No wonder he felt a little hungry.

Due to the core, he now feels hungry faster than others.

At this time, he remembered his good brothers whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

Picking up his phone, just as he was about to call Zheng Jun for a meal, a call came in. Wang Shuo looked at the name displayed with some surprise, and then clicked to connect.

"Hello, Sister Zheng."

Before Wang Shuo could ask how she was, Zheng Yi's voice came out.

"Wang Shuo, are you in the company?"

Wang Shuo was slightly stunned and replied: "Yes."

"I'm coming to pick you up."

The call hung up.

Wang Shuo looked at his phone and frowned slightly.

For some reason, he heard a trace of urgency in Zheng Yi's tone.

In Wang Shuo's impression, this had never happened before.

So... something he didn't know... had happened?
