The next day, Xia Ming continued to discuss cooperation matters with people from all walks of life, and Lawrence and Tian Zhong were also arrested to help deal with the documents.

Finally a little more relaxed, Xia Ming talked to Tian Zhong and Lawrence about the arrangement of cicadas and illusions. Tian Zhong wiped the beads of sweat from his face and said with emotion: "This is really a shot to destroy the old world!" ”

He was both tired and excited. During this time, he has been traveling around North America, setting up a shelf for North American cicadas, promoting businesses such as Galika, Shamrock, and "Phantom Galaxy", and he is so busy that his feet do not touch the ground.

When the North American cicadas began to operate stably, he thought that the work was over and he could take a break, but he didn't expect Xia Ming to come to the United States and throw out the Terminator neuron chip, which blew up the entire industry at once.

Now Tian Shige is faced with a new choice, whether to return to the gaming field and take charge of SynaCyber, or stay in Cicada Movement, or enter IEI, which is still only a shelf, and continue to be in charge of North American affairs.

Either way, it means taking the helm of the market, which is too much of a stimulus for a mid-level technical backbone who was only a Google game division last year. Although he was the vice president of Legend Interactive Entertainment before, his real power was limited to the W project under development, which is far from being compared with the current one.

Tian Zhong thought about it again and again, and had a choice: "On the game side, let's give Xiao Hang a chance, I believe he can carry it." Personally, I'm interested in IEI. ”

Xia Ming nodded, originally he thought about it like this, whether it was Cicada Movement or SynaCyber, it was just technical verification and sales, not his core. IEI is currently the most closely related to the research institute and needs to be controlled by credible people.

"Then Lao Tian will be the vice president of IEI, and he will be in charge of things in North America......"

As he spoke, he looked at Matthew Lawrence, who was in charge of the vision.

The big man has lost a lot of weight and looks more energetic. He waved his hand and said, "I just know graphic images, so let me stay in the illusion." ”

Illusion is now the narrowest business in Xia Ming's company, but because of the strong promotion of the alfalfa engine, its position in this field is almost the same as IEI's position in the EI field in the future. It is the strongest cash flow at the moment, and it is growing at a double-digit percentage every month.

In the first two quarters of this year, Phantom earned $750 million in revenue and $110 million in net profit, a ratio that is extremely eye-catching. Although the revenue in the first two quarters was as high as $1 billion, the net profit was less than $50 million.

Xia Ming asked: "Then Wu Sihao was also transferred to IEI, does it have an impact on you?" ”

"Oh! NO！ Lawrence shouted.

"It was decided, and the development of "Galaxy of Illusions" was lost to SynaCyber anyway. You find someone to take care of the affairs of Huaxia yourself", Xia Ming made a decision very arbitrarily, Lawrence nodded helplessly, and Tian Zhong cast a sympathetic look at him.

Recalling what Xia Ming had said in that wasteland, Tian Zhong had to admit that this speed was too fast.

Wu Sihao was also transferred to IEI as Executive Vice President. The chairman and CEO have to be held by Xia Ming temporarily.

"Lack of people", Xia Ming had a headache. The stall is getting bigger and bigger, and counting the stall that Xiaotang is about to take, there is no capable and credible person to manage it.

He glared angrily at Lin Cheng, who was doing nothing next to him, this guy, with Xiaotang and them, was really leisurely. Just bury yourself in scientific research.

"What's wrong?" Lin Cheng innocently asked in the god chat.

"Cicada movement and illusion have your shares, you are so easy to shake off the shopkeeper!" Xia Ming was dissatisfied.

"Those who can work hard!" Lin Cheng smiled.

Xia Ming made a blood-vomiting expression: "I'm already schizophrenic, literally!" ”

The brothers were silently arguing, and Lawrence suddenly whispered, "Xia, since yesterday." The action over there was several times more active, and it even started listening to my phone calls. ”

Tian Chong's expression also became serious: "My private email is also monitored, what actions they may make." ”

What the two said, Xia Ming knew that after he spoke to Hassabis a few months ago, the two reported to him through confidential channels that the CIA was monitoring their situation.

I thought it was a routine investigation of sensitive companies like Chrysanthemum and Huasheng, but I didn't expect that after winning the IJCAI award, the CIA suddenly increased its efforts, maybe it was organizing some evidence.

"Could it be related to Yang Yuanchang?" , God chatted, Lin Cheng was a little worried.

Xia Ming denied: "Unlikely, Yang Yuanchang is not powerful enough to mobilize the CIA, our progress on the neuronal chip has stimulated the Americans, and their hawks may have some ideas." ”

Lin Cheng's worries were as heavy as ever: "That's troublesome, there is CIA interference, how can we solve Yang Yuanchang?" ”

Xia Ming's trip was not simply to win awards and release neuronal chips, but to prepare to solve Yang Yuanchang once and for all. Xiaotang is in Canada to make final preparations and will come to meet them in two days.

That's when the CIA jumped out, adding a huge risk to the operation.

Fortunately, because of the cooperation between IEI and Alphabet, as well as Xia Ming's open stance in technology, at least stabilized the power of the IT consortium, which made it impossible for Americans to unify their positions. Otherwise, IEI's treatment in the United States will be worse than that of Chrysanthemum and Huasheng, and he may not have any accidents.

[Linzi, you will return to China tomorrow and make some preparations over there. 】

[Okay, you must be careful, security side ......]

[I can tell the difference, you don't have to worry. 】

Don't be reckless, we don't need to take risks now. 】

After discussing with Lin Cheng on the God Chat, Xia Ming was about to explain to Lawrence and Tian Chong, and Tian Chong's mobile phone rang.

He listened for a while, and looked at Xia Ming with a confused face: "I was looking for you, saying that it was the father of the victim of the car accident back then." ”

Xia Ming's heart jumped, could it be Lin Qianyan's father!?

No, Lin Qianyan's parents were indeed in the United States before, but after their daughter's accident, they felt that the United States was a sad place and returned to China last year.

Although he has not been in direct contact, he has also inquired about some information from the side. Even secretly helped somewhat. It stands to reason that they shouldn't know their relationship with Lin Qianyan.

"I'm very sorry, I only found Mr. Tian's contact information, and I can only contact you through him. I'm Vikas Prasad, and my son, Diyan, was killed two years ago along with Mr. Tang and Ms. Xu......"

Sure enough, it has nothing to do with Lin Qianyan, but the fourth person who had an accident in that car accident. Originally, Xia Ming thought it was just a passerby, but he didn't expect it to be related.

"I read the news and found out that you are from Professor Xu's research institute, you have made achievements along Professor Xu's path, you must have been targeted by a certain organization, you are in danger now! Must leave the United States as soon as possible! ”

Looking at the name and listening to the accent, Prasad should be an Indian, and his warning made Xia Ming suddenly brightened.

The fourth person is also the target of Yang Yuanchang's gang! And his father must have known something inside!

Looked at the numbers. Xia Ming said: "Mr. Prasad, I don't quite understand what you mean, can we talk face to face?" ”

"It's too dangerous! I'm calling you, you've taken a huge risk, leave as soon as possible", Prasad was resolute.

"Does the death of your son have anything to do with the organization you were talking about?"

"I don't see this as a personal vendetta, and it's not something that can be solved by individuals."

"You should understand. I wouldn't believe such a headless warning. ”

"I can only do what I can. How you choose is your business. ”

Xia Ming asked again and again, and after Prasad was perfunctory for a while, he finally hung up the phone.

Xia Ming did not have an expression of disappointment on his face, and a very cute two-dimensional girl avatar popped out of his field of vision, which was Xia Xiaoyan.

Xia Xiaoyan popped up a window, and in the window was Google Earth. From a complete globe to a single building in a seaside town.

Malibu Township, Los Angeles ......

It's a pity that the satellite photos are from a few months ago, and it would be nice if they could be monitored in real time.

It's not that Xia Ming can't control satellites now, but it's not just any satellite that can cover the target, so he has to spend some effort to find a suitable satellite in orbit. And using satellites to focus on targets leaves clear traces. It's better not to be exposed easily if it's not at a critical juncture.

It would be nice to have your own reconnaissance satellites......

Xia Ming was in a reverie, and Xia Xiaoyan had a report: "The mobile phone number is consistent with the social security number and health care records, it seems that this Mr. Prasad does not know that his current situation is the most dangerous." ”

Xia Xiaoyan's complaining is completely Xia Ming's style, who made her Xia Ming's PEI.

This Xia Xiaoyan's hardware is part of his brain, he upgraded the original QNI system to PEI, in a sense, what he said about Lin Cheng "schizophrenia" is true.

In just over 10 seconds of his phone call with Prasad, he not only captured the geographical location of his mobile phone, but also hacked into the database of the US Social Security Administration and the United Medical System of the United States, and captured all of Prasad's information.

"A psychiatrist?"

Seeing Prasad's career information, Xia Ming felt that he was one step closer to the truth.

Xia Ming said to Lin Cheng and them: "I have to go to Los Angeles immediately, right away!" ”

If you go late, you might only see a corpse.

One of the benefits of the U.S. is that it is also very convenient to get from big cities to small places, from San Francisco to the town of Malibu more than 600 kilometers, and it takes up to six hours by car, train, and speedboat. It's faster to fly, and you don't have to wait for the departure time, a large number of small airlines business jets are waiting for you, and you can go as you go.

With Lawrence and Tian Shige helping to arrange, Xia Ming took a bodyguard on the road, and two hours later, the plane landed at Los Angeles Airport, took a business car sent by the rental company, and arrived outside the small town of Malibu in the evening.

"Boss, someone is following," Wen Dehua, the bodyguard and driver, reminded.

"Well, pretend not to notice and stop at the gas station in front", Xia Ming had already found out, and when he came out of the airport, there was a station wagon following, always a hundred meters away. The license plate and model cannot be found on the Internet, and it is estimated that it has been covered up.

A few minutes later, the commercial car turned into the gas station, and the station wagon passed by, and through the rearview mirror, Xia Ming saw the other party's situation clearly.

It's two black men with a fierce face, and they look like gangsters on the streets.

After refueling, I got back on the road, and the station wagon was gone, but another station wagon appeared. In Xia Xiaoyan's enlarged image, you can see that there are two other black people, and you can see at a glance that they are still gangsters.

"They should know where we're going, and they're going to hunt us out with Mr. Prasad there, and then make the illusion of cannibalism or something."

Wen Dehua's breathing was a little short: "Boss, do you want to find a place to stop and get that thing ready?" ”

This Chinese guy is Anson's subordinate, he is clever and quick to react, and his family background is also innocent, so Xia Ming asked him from Anson to serve as a personal bodyguard.

In terms of ability, Xia Ming has more choices, among the retired scouts recommended by Lao Hong, any one can beat Wen Dehua, but there is another advantage of bringing Wen Dehua, he has a gun license in the United States.

"Wait a minute, you drive slowly", Xia Ming hugged his arms, his eyes slightly defocused.

In an instant, Xia Xiaoyan turned into an Internet demon king, entered the local police communication network, and issued a fake orange-level order to the local state police.

In terms of instructions, the four people became wanted criminals who escaped from prison, and the photos and explanatory documents were readily available, but they were all randomly picked up by Xia Ming from the FBI wanted network.

The four people on the command were all frontal photos wearing prison uniforms, and Xia Ming only saw their side faces, but after Xia Xiaoyan's processing, they became straight faces, and it was effortless. Compared to a year ago, his ability to "simulate restoration" has increased significantly.

Calling 911 directly is inefficient and will expose himself, Xia Ming also speculated that there are more than four people on the other side, and they should all have weapons, so that the police can hold them safely.

A few minutes later, the van was already driving into town. The small town of Malibu is a seaside luxury residential area, and it is also a prime location for Chinese billionaires to invest in real estate across borders.

The station wagon that followed behind began to accelerate, and Wen Dehua subconsciously put a hand into his arms to prevent the other party from shooting directly when overtaking.

Xia Ming said, "Speed up!" ”

The siren sounded suddenly, and the police car rushed out of the street where Xia Ming's commercial car was driving and stopped the station wagon behind.

The shouting faded away, followed by the screeching of tires scraping the floor, the sound of vehicles colliding, and finally the sound of gunshots.

As they approached Prasad's home, sirens sounded ahead as the station wagon that had initially followed them was fleeing with the police car chasing after them, and a common road chase in the United States took place.

"I don't know where these people came from", Wen Dehua was relieved, but also a little guilty, his bodyguard didn't seem to play a role.

"When the police ask out, we'll know", Xia Ming said nonchalantly, this kind of hacker can do things, for him as natural as drinking water.

But this is also the reason why he became more and more vigilant about Yang Yuanchang and his gang, after completing the research on neuronal chips, Xia Xiaoyan and Qianyan's training, he spent several days searching for Yang Yuanchang and the Coppenss Foundation on the Internet, but there was still no progress.

This illustrates two possibilities, one is that Yang Yuanchang and the Coppenss Foundation communicate through the dark web, and the other is that they basically do not rely on modern information means to communicate.

The former can still be imagined, and the latter is a bit more mysterious.

When Xia Ming came, he opened his mind and was ready to face mutants or people with special abilities.

Speaking of which, isn't he a mutant with magical powers......

Prasad's homes are not too luxurious, they are ordinary single-family American homes, located in a low-density residential area near the sea.

Xia Ming scanned the situation within 100 meters of the surrounding area through Xia Xiaoyan, and then observed the sound, current, and heat radiation in the residence, and only after confirming that there was no problem did he ring the doorbell.

The one who opened the door was an old man of Indian descent with a thin body, gray hair, and glasses, and he was stunned when he saw that it was Xia Ming.

"Mr. Prasad, it seems that you recognize me", Xia Ming smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and said, "Yes, I am Xia Ming." (To be continued.) )
