Chapter 490: Recruiting People
Although the process is a bit cumbersome;
But Yang Ming still got 21% of the shares of the research institute where Professor Hua Moli worked.
Duoduo Moduo is still very principled. Even after Yang Ming provided him with sufficient material conditions, he was still able to stick to his principles and not waver.
The Hall Abnormal Human Research Center is the top research institute of the Guel Alliance that studies human genes. It is not an institution that can be measured by money. It has certain strategic significance... It definitely cannot be sold at a low price.
After Yang Ming kept raising the price, Duoduo Moto finally agreed to let Yang Ming acquire part of the shares of the institute.
Similarly, Duoduo Moduo is a little curious:
"This research institute doesn't study biochemical transformation technology. Why is Luo Feng so interested in it?"
“Because of some experimental tools.”
Yang Ming did not hide:
“It’s not Luofeng who is interested in it, but us.
"We want to get some of the biological experiment tools here.
"In addition, we are very interested in Gu'er's biological genes... You know, my boss is now a strange creature that is half human and half ancient god. He wants to see if it is possible to find a path other than the technology given by the Fayya people in the study of human genes."
"So that's how it is," Duoduo Moduo dispelled the last bit of worry, "I'll help you arrange it, but the purchase price may be a little higher than the market price."
Yang Ming suddenly asked: "I have a question that may offend you, but I still want to ask... You want to cooperate with my boss, right?"
Duoduo Moduo hesitated for a second and nodded slightly.
"My home planet is relatively weak in Faya's game," Dodomodo sighed, "If possible, I think the two weak candidates can join hands and fight for a place to survive."
Yang Ming smiled and said, "Then how can you be sure that my boss's home planet is also a weak planet?"
"The rule of the Faya people is this," Dodomodo explained, "A relatively weak planet will give some care to the pioneers of this planet. This can be considered a supplement, but this care is limited. The impact of the pioneers on the winning rate of the mother planet cannot exceed a certain value."
"Yeah?"
Yang Ming murmured:
"So that's how it is. Doesn't that mean my boss's plan is ruined?"
Plan? What plan?
Duoduo Moduo was hesitating whether to ask directly, but the young general in front of him had already said it himself:
“He also wanted to gather the five Forerunners for a meeting before the game started, when the Forerunners were sending messages to their home planet, and directly threaten you.
“If your home planet targets our leader’s home planet, our boss will take bloody revenge on the three winning planets.
“I hope you can consider this and mention this matter clearly in your reply letter to your hometown.”
Duoduo Modo was stunned for a moment, then looked at the young general in front of him with a feeling of not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
"This kind of thing... the Fayya people will not agree to..."
"I think so too," Yang Ming said with a sigh, "but my boss is a very paranoid guy. He will definitely do what he has decided to do."
Duoduomodo shook his head and turned to look out the porthole.
He sighed slightly, his eyes became cloudy and deep, and he did not utter a word for a long time.
…
Professor Hua Moli, wearing a transparent protective suit, sat in a microgravity chair and slowly put down the experimental report in his hand.
He was thinking about things that had nothing to do with the current experiment.
Hua Moli has calmed down in the past few days.
He didn't know much about international affairs, but he saw the farce staged by the New Federation, Sherman, and Luofeng in the Guel Alliance, and saw the news that the Sherman Empire and the New Federation were about to launch an all-out war.
He seemed to be an eyewitness to these things;
It seemed as if he had accidentally witnessed history and even gently pushed the wheel of history.
That young man...
Hua Moli has been wondering recently, was it a coincidence that this young man contacted him, or was he intentionally trying to contact him?
If someone intends to contact you, what does he want?
Advanced technology?
The value of their research institute lies mainly in genetic pharmaceuticals and gene modification technology, which has nothing to do with the military.
Moreover, Yang Ming is a politician who can make everything happen with a wave of his hand. What plans could he have for himself?
Do you think he is an old gentleman and you can take him to a nightclub?
Professor Hua Moli smiled, shook his head and continued to focus on the experimental project at hand.
"Huamori! Come and see! The equity of our institute has changed!"
"What?"
An elderly man walked into Hua Moli's private laboratory with a cane.
Outside the glass window, men and women in white coats looked over here.
This old man is their executive director. His main job is to raise funds for various projects of the institute and to maximize the commercial benefits of some projects as much as possible.
“Just now!”
The old director laughed and said:
"Haha! We got a new capital injection, and we can start several projects that we had stopped before at the same time!
"Moreover, the other party is willing to buy out our core shares at a high price and promise not to interfere with our research direction!
“This is simply amazing!”
“Who is the buyer?”
"A wealthy businessman named Hatton just registered a company and obtained special qualifications approved by the military," the old director laughed. "It sounds like he is a man with great connections. I don't know why he would like our research institute. We don't have many patents that can generate profits right now."
Hatton?
Hua Moli was stunned: "Hatton from Luofeng? Energy tycoon?"
“I haven’t verified this, but I received a call from the Union Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Commerce, and they also wanted us to give this rich businessman Hatton no more than 30% of the total shares.
"This seems to be part of the cooperation between our Guel Alliance and the Falling Wind Alliance."
The old director smiled and said, "Mr. Hatton and his daughter are on their way. I have already booked a hotel and dinner. Don't refuse today. This is to meet our new boss. Remember to toast him a glass of wine when the time comes."
Hua Moli opened his mouth, seeming to be hesitant to speak.
A bit messy.
Let him sort it out.
Hutton is Yang Ming's uncle. Hutton acquired more than 20% of the shares of this research institute and injected a large sum of funds into them.
Hua Moli whispered: "This is a problem."
"What's the problem?"
"They approached me while I was on leave."
Hua Mori took off his protective goggles, stood up and paced back and forth. The slight sound of the protective suit rubbing against each other made him more annoyed.
“They definitely have a clear goal.
"Oh, I really like that guy Yang Ming. Now I feel really bad."
"Hey! Huamori!"
The old director said seriously:
"Don't be paranoid. If they want to obtain some technology from us for commercial use, that is normal business behavior.
"Also, although our technology is cutting-edge, most of it has no advantages in commercialization."
"That's why I'm worried!"
Hua Moli pointed at his head:
"The technical reserves hidden in our five brains can be used in many military applications! If they want them, are we going to hand them over?"
"We can let the Alliance military intervene. They have only acquired more than 20 percent of the shares. The maximum they are allowed to acquire is only 30 percent, and it does not involve core shares."
The old director advised:
“Why not wait for them to come and talk to them?
"Mr. Hatton and his daughter will be here soon... Come with me, we will go to the space station to pick them up. If you have anything to say, please speak to them in person. Our research institute needs to operate in a healthy manner."
"I don't want Yang Ming to be lying to me either."
Hua Moli sighed:
"Wait for me to change my clothes . If the situation is unclear, the five of us should not show up at the same time. This way, they won't be able to obtain any complete technology."
"You're too sensitive Huamori."
“Not sensitive.”
Hua Moli said seriously:
“I hope that the technologies we develop will benefit mankind, rather than being used in the military, becoming tools for biological and chemical experiments, or sharp blades for killing other humans.
"Human genes are very fragile, you know that."
"No problem, Huamoli, let's not argue among ourselves. Once we meet them, we will know roughly. They must be great investors."
…
Half a standard galactic day later.
The first star of the alliance, the hotel where the Luofeng Alliance delegation is staying.
Boss Yang, who had just left a welcome dinner, heard Lu's report before he even had time to walk out of the bathroom.
"Boss, there's something wrong with Professor Hua Moli."
"Hmm?" Yang Ming wondered, "What could be the problem over there? Didn't we directly buy part of the shares of their research institute? We also got special approval from the military. Could Kolev and Mimily still mess up such a small matter?"
“The situation is a bit complicated right now.”
Lu hummed a few words:
“In order to conceal our true goal, we listed a total of seven technologies, and the other six of these seven technologies are all of relatively high commercial value in their research institutes, and overall they should seem very reasonable.
"They met two galactic hours ago and had a preliminary conversation. Others did not pay much attention to these seven technologies, but Professor Huamoli accurately grasped our vital points.
"He asked us to explain the purpose of the technology 'neural system memory overwriting neuron stabilization assistance'. If we couldn't explain it clearly, he refused to provide the part of the information he had."
Yang Ming laughed: "This old man is quite perceptive."
"It should be said that he is the one who is more serious," Lu whispered, "The other scientists have already agreed, and we have obtained four-fifths of the technology. In fact, as long as Hua Moli turns a blind eye, we don't even need to go to his research institute, and we can complete the task assigned by Li."
Yang Ming looked thoughtful: "What do my father-in-law and my sweetheart say?"
"Eh, that's disgusting."
"This is called interest! What do you, a mechanical thinker, know?"
"Okay, okay, you greasy fun point."
Lu rolled his eyes in his mind space, but continued to report seriously:
"Kolev swore that they would not use these technologies for evil, but Miss Mimili was too lazy to deal with these issues. She asked me if she could kidnap Huamoli's family.
"Of course, I rejected Miss Mimily's proposal."
"It's better to finish this as soon as possible so that I don't have to worry about it," Yang Ming thought for a while, "Please help me make an appointment with Professor Hua Moli. I will have an encrypted communication with him later and ask him to find an environment with good confidentiality."
"Okay boss, I'll arrange it right away."
Yang Ming took a towel to dry his body, put on the disposable pajamas prepared by the hotel, and thought about how to persuade Hua Moli.
Or, just kidnap his daughter?
That would be so unfair to this old friend of mine.
About five or six minutes later, a dialog box popped up in front of Yang Ming. He clicked OK, and a bust of Professor Hua Moli appeared in front of Yang Ming.
"Hi, Professor!"
Boss Yang smiled with narrowed eyes:
"I'm finally out of trouble now, and I'm planning to go shopping in the Guell Union. Do you want to come and join me? I can ask your Ministry of Foreign Affairs to list you as a special guest."
Hua Moli looked at Yang Ming with complicated eyes: "I'm not in the mood to joke with you."
"Okay, let's get straight to the point."
"You approached me on purpose before, right?" Professor Hua Moli asked.
Yang Ming groaned for a few seconds and said, "I don't want to deceive you, Professor. I did approach you with a plan, and I want to get that technology, the technology that can prevent the brain from exploding when the memory is overwritten."
Professor Hua Moli closed his eyes and sighed.
Yang Ming said seriously, "But I don't mean . You know, if I want to harm you, I can use all kinds of means. I really admire you, especially your frankness and unique attainments in women's underwear design."
"screw you."
Professor Hua Moli sighed:
"I thought I had gained a new friend and was very happy about it. I even went to share it with my daughter, although I was turned away.
"Is this the technology that brought you to the Alliance?"
"this……"
Yang Ming did not answer directly, but said:
“You should have seen what I wanted to do, and now it has almost been accomplished. I have reached a cooperation with the alliance, I have secretly met with your deputy prime minister and several ministers, and I have also established a friendship with the Chief of Staff Dodomodo.
“In fact, you can rest assured that the technology transfer between us is carried out under the full supervision of the Guel Alliance Military and the Ministry of Commerce.
"In fact, I gave the Guel Alliance a batch of military technology, and they will also give us a batch of technology. That is the highlight."
Professor Huamoli seemed very sober: "Then can you answer me, what do you want to do by overriding the stabilization technology?"
"It's my secret, Professor."
"Yang Ming, you know what this technology does, right?"
Hua Moli frowned and asked:
“If we have this technology, we can download a virtual personality generated by artificial intelligence into the brain of a living person.
“This is unethical.
“My teacher developed this technology to treat amnesia and brain-related diseases, but after developing this technology, he discovered the huge hidden dangers in it.
“The third disaster, you should be familiar with this concept. It refers to a large-scale, highly automated artificial intelligence that is out of human control, creating a stable mechanical society that does not require human participation, and then in turn threatens the survival of human society.
“This technology is the key.
"With this technology, once a large-scale third disaster gets out of control, they may capture humans, use their living bodies, and cover their brains with information. We are able to establish our own personality and realize our self-awareness. To an extent, 80% of it is due to our own memories and unique neuronal structures. If this information is modified, this body will become another person.
“Robots have the potential to reprogram the human brain… that’s too dangerous!”
Yang Ming stared at Hua Moli: "Professor, you are worrying too much."
"No, Yang Ming," Hua Moli whispered, "We must face this problem squarely. If you can't convince me, I will never hand over this technology. The most critical data of this technology is in my brain, and no one can force me."
Yang Ming's right thumb slightly twisted his index finger.
"That's it, Huamori."
Yang Ming said:
"I need this technology, but I don't want to keep it for myself or use it on a large scale. If you can agree to the 'amnesiac' clause, I can let you personally participate in this experiment.
"The so-called memory erasure means that you first participate in my experiment throughout the entire process, and then after the experiment is over, you erase your related memories.
"What do you think? I will give you a generous reward, and this technology is the scalpel in your hand, not mine."
Hua Moli was stunned for a moment, frowned and looked at Yang Ming, and whispered:
"Is there someone you want to resurrect? Yang Ming, this is impossible. I know that it is very popular to digitize the human brain and upload it to the virtual world, but a mind separated from the body is essentially no longer that person.
"A human being should be a close combination of his body and mind . Simply uploading data to the virtual world will still run according to the program we set in advance, which is not the way humans think.
“It’s just a virtual mind.
"Even if you download this virtual mind into a person's body, it will only change twice. It is essentially impossible for it to be another person. Moreover, the mechanism by which the human body affects the mind is extremely complex. There are too many uncertainties."
Yang Ming smiled and said, "Professor, just think about whether you want to agree to me... What I can promise you is that I will not conduct experiments that harm humans."
Huamoli fell into deep thought.
Yang Ming heard the young girl's voice: "This is a good idea. We can borrow his laboratory and some of his instruments."
Yang Ming: …
Okay, so you haven’t even prepared a laboratory within the Guell Alliance?
This is so different from the omnipotent Sister Li!
"I agree."
The old professor nodded firmly.
Yang Ming smiled gently: "Then have a good chat with my Uncle Hatton. I'll go somewhere else and come to your place after I finish my business here."
"I don't want to see you again!"
Hua Moli cursed angrily:
"You little liar!"
"You old gentleman."
