Chapter Ninety-Six: Tripartite Cooperation#

Under the care and supervision of Ms. Zhu Shaoqiong and Mr. Qi Zhiguang, Qi Min nested in his bedroom and had time to plan for the future.

She explained the results of the brain-like "human experiment" to Yelena, and invited her to cooperate very seriously: "This is a big deal. If we can build a bigger and VR game city, we will be equivalent to the future Zuckerberg, Ma Huateng, and maybe even ...... What is the name of Google's founder? ”

"Wait, wait, we have to figure it out first," Yelena sounded excited, but still had some apprehensions, "Can this be repeated?" ”

"You don't need to think about repetition, you just need to expand the size of the brain-like body." Qi Min said quickly, "Where do you think it is appropriate to build a new supercomputer?" I'll have to talk to my collaborators......"

"Do you really want to work with me?" Yelena said in surprise, "I mean...... I haven't even graduated yet - but if I can do it, I don't care about graduating! ”

"yes, Lena, what do you think? Is it worth investing this money? Qi Min asked with a smile.

Yelena – in her own words – still has a little money at home. Qi Min knew that Sakharov, even if he was not an oligarch, made a small fortune in the nineties. At present, it is the most feasible way to find Yelena's parents to invest.

"Good...... I'm going to talk to my dad about it. Yelena quickly said, "It may not be a lot of money, but when the company start-up capital should be enough." I'm in charge of finding the money, and you and your collaborators are technologically staked, so it's just right...... I really can't take out a loan, as long as your experiment is okay. ”

What Qi Min wants is Yelena's refreshment. She is actually not an only child, and she was not interested in business originally, and her family's industry is supported by her brothers and sisters. However, although she is not very interested in making money, she is still attracted enough to go down in history. For such a groundbreaking project to build a virtual world in a brain-like body, making money is no longer a top priority. Yelena could see that if the project was to be completed, the name of its founder might appear in future history textbooks.

Qi Min hung up the phone, thinking about how successful she was.

Leng Buding Anton said: "Aren't you really BOURGEOSIE?" ”

"Well, you know what." Qi Min crossed his arms and said, "In the structure of capitalist society, only by playing according to the rules of capitalism can you really promote your own technology. I've discovered the consciousness storage properties of brain-like bodies, and if I don't do it myself, this opportunity will also fall into the hands of those big guys. Do you choose to let me make money, or do you choose to let Pony Ma make more money? ”

"The problem is that 'Nimbus' is a state-owned asset, and what you take is also the government's investment." Anton reminded her.

"My brain-like body has been built, animal experiments have been done, and the part of the project has been completed." Qi Min explained calmly, "The current trend is to pay more and more attention to the transformation of results, and if I have really succeeded in transformation, the government should encourage it." ”

Anton frowned at her with some distrust, but Qi Min said to him with a smile: "I can rely on this to open a company, attract business investment, and make a real career." No one will dare to call me a LOSER again. ”

She lay weak in bed, her hair shaved from her head, and she could only wear a pitiful hat, but there was a rare glint of ambition and confidence in her eyes.

——

Anton didn't think that Qi Min could really do anything big, but when Qi Min was lying in bed, he had already begun to contact Ms. Zhou Xiaoshan and Yelena to discuss the establishment of the company.

Ms. Zhou Xiaoshan was shocked to learn that a virtual world could be established in the brain-like body. She has been doing supercomputer research for half her life, and she doesn't really know much about biology, and she never imagined that consciousness could be demodulated in such a simple way and converted into a format that computers can store. However, strictly speaking, there is no real demodulation in the process of consciousness entering the brain-like body, and the brain-like body, like the previous neuronal algorithm, cannot be understood by external analysis. And it's more interesting to have a brain-like application than to understand it.

Ms. Zhou Xiaoshan doesn't play video games much, but anyone who knows a little bit about the Internet entertainment industry can see the commercial value contained in the brain-like body. Qi Min provided the technology, Yelena Andreevna Sakharova paid for it, and Ms. Zhou Xiaoshan provided the "Nimbus" computing resources and maintenance guarantees, and the three hit it off.

Qi Min hung up the multi-person call with Ms. Zhou Xiaoshan and Yelena, but when he looked up, he saw Anton lying on the side of the bed looking at him quietly, and couldn't help but reach out and pinch his cheek.

"When I have money, I will build you a modern kitchen, 100 square meters, full ventilation system, what you want." Qi Min boasted rather conceitedly.

The way she looked made Anton laugh. Regardless of whether this can really be achieved or not, Anton still leaned over and kissed Qi Min on the cheek: "Okay, I'll wait." ”

"Get me some juice or something?" Qi Min demanded "inch by inch".

This was the first time she had an active need for food since she came out of her brain-like body. She had only had a little egg drop soup at lunchtime, and now the juice was a good sign that her digestion was recovering.

Anton immediately asked, "What juice do you want?" ”

"Apples, pears, whatever." Qi Min said, "I was a little thirsty after talking for so long just now. ”

After receiving the "order", Anton opened the door of Qi Min's bedroom and went out to prepare juice. From Qi Min's bedroom to the kitchen, he was just about to pass through the living room, and when Anton came out, he happened to see Ms. Zhu Shaoqiong and Mr. Qi Zhiguang sitting in the living room.

Ms. Zhu Shaoqiong walked over and asked in English, which was not fluent, "What do you want to do?" ”

Qi Min in the bedroom shouted: "I asked Anton to help me make some apple juice." ”

"I'll just call you." Ms. Zhu Shaoqiong hurriedly said.

"No, you let him go." Qi Min said directly, "He's not paralyzed again." ”

Qi Min winked at Anton, meaning to let him behave well. Anton understood and hurriedly walked in the direction of the kitchen. Ms. Zhu Shaoqiong was not at ease and also followed.

Anton walked into the kitchen and soon found the juicer - the so-called wall breaker that Mr. Qi Zhiguang bought only last month, which can probably be squeezed more fully than ordinary juicers. Then he found apples in the refrigerator - the second-hand refrigerator that Qi Min bought in his apartment was exactly the same model as the refrigerator at home, and the way to put things was the same.

Just as he washed the apple and picked up the knife to cut it, Ms. Zhu Shaoqiong waved her hand at him, and had to say in stumbling English: "Don't use it...... This one...... Knife. You use that...... That ......"

She couldn't think of how to say "paring knife" in English for a while, and when she was worried, Anton finally couldn't help it and whispered in Chinese: "Mom...... I can actually understand Chinese. ”
