Cyber Heroes

Before today, Tao Enhai would never have thought that the chairman of a large company would actually squeeze the subway.

And they are also very casual.

Tao Enhai is a little weird about this: "Don’t you drive a private car?"

"Unless I am going home with my spouse, I can’t drive when the number of people is less than three. "Yes." Xiang Shan looked serious: "Love Earth is to love our homeland of humanity."

Tao Enhai rarely sees people repeating such slogans in such righteous terms. But...

He felt that the other party was not joking.

"By the way, my car has just been driven away by my lover."

"Oh...understood."

Xiang Dong today Wearing ordinary casual clothes and sneakers. Except for the smart glasses on the bridge of the nose, which are very cutting-edge electronic products, the others are all cheap items.

On the contrary, Tao Enhai himself, in a suit and leather shoes, is in a formal suit.

"Ah, by the way, since we do not conduct external business here, there will be no outsiders to visit, so we can dress freely in the future." Xiang Shan used his fingers to draw in front of him. Said to Tao Enhai.

The first generation of smart glasses can only rely on voice and motion command capture to control. In noisy areas such as subways, voice commands may not be effective. Just now Xiang Shan suddenly said, "They are not waiting for me", and he also saw the news of the reaction of smart glasses.

The two got on the subway soon. Although it is a suburban area, it also looks like a high-tech industrial park. Quite a few people leave work. Although the subway is not crowded, there are no seats available.

Xiang Shan and Tao Enhai are standing in the middle of two sections of the subway. While reading something, Xiang Shan explained to Tao Enhai the main business scope of "transhumanism".

Superman Enterprise is now mainly engaged in four areas. These four fields are "genetic engineering", "cognitive science", "information science" and "mechanical engineering". There are many overlapping projects under these four areas.

For example, "the correlation between certain cognitive abilities and heredity" is a content that spans the two fields of "genetic engineering" and "cognitive science".

Another example is "reproducing the cognitive process of human thinking with computers", which belongs to the overlapping area of ​​"cognitive science" and "information science".

And these projects influence each other, forming an organic whole within Superman Enterprise. Tao Enhai faintly felt that these areas seemed to be serving a big project. But this "big plan", which he had vaguely guessed, revealed an unrealistic sense of science fiction.

Xiang Shan even revealed that Superman invested in the establishment of a game incubation community in Northern Europe last year, and reached cooperation with many well-known independent game producers to study "the mechanism of game behavior." The interactive process of game behavior and virtual reality" and "the shaping of virtual community by game behavior".

"Ah, by the way, in terms of a single department, the incubation community is the department with the highest profit margin and the fastest capital turnover in our Superman enterprise." Xiang Shan said with regret.

After all, the company's R&D organization is burning money. It burned enough money to directly bankrupt many small countries.

No matter how much you earn, it is not enough for scientific research.

Tao Enhai couldn’t help interrupting: "So...what do we rely on to make money? State financial allocations? Probably not..."

Xiang Shan nodded: "There is a part . But it is mainly made by "products." In fact, the country can't stand the extravagant burn of ours..."

Tao Enhai was a little puzzled: "But I haven't seen you...our company's Products?"

"No, you've actually seen them before." Xiang Shan whispered, "You used to be a doctor, right? Many new drugs in the past two years are marked with'Yawill The method of preparation' right?"

"It seems to be...ah..." Tao Enhai really remembered. The Yawill method is an efficient and safe method for preparing biopharmaceuticals. Gene editing allows yeast to metabolize organic compounds of overwhelming majority species at low prices.

In these years, Yawillmedicine has become the mainstream of the market.

Then, it has been mentioned in the textbook...or the medical representative has introduced it. The inventor of the Yawill method is Yoggmov Voight.

"This is too...but..." Tao Enhai thinks this is a bit...a bit...immoral?

——Or am I too naive?

Similar stories have happened countless times in history. For example, Edison has the patent right for the best bulb interface and the patent right for the best filament. Therefore, no matter which light bulb, it is impossible to compete with him.

"Of course, Dr. Tao, I know what you are thinking, but please listen to me." Xiang Shan said: "We can rely on this method to make money, and it is conditional. First of all, this patent is Free licenses are granted to state-owned enterprises or related departments in all countries. For private companies, we charge a license fee at a fraction of a percentage of the profit. At the same time, we have one more condition-if the patent is adopted , It is necessary to control the profit rate within a lower range."

Tao Enhai was silent for a moment: "This...how did Mr. Voight live to the present?"

In this way, all businessmen in the entire pharmaceutical industry will send Yoggmov ·Voight to the Dark Must Kill List...

"This is why they are provided to governments at no charge." Xiang Shan shrugged, "More than that. A patent, and every one of our patents, will be authorized to use in various countries. In addition to avoiding assassinations, we can also get various policy support."

"All our applications Patents are published in the same way. Those capitalists either use our patents or don’t use them, and then they are annexed by their peers. Of course, if they secretly use them, that’s not bad. Although our legal department is very staffed Few, but there are still a few well-known lawyers who have deep cooperation-they like patent lawsuits the most. Although those lawyers are with us, but believe me, they are very inhuman."

Xiang Shan seemed to think of something, hehe smiled.

"But those pharmaceutical companies...and other companies, will they try to attack us?"

Unconsciously, Tao Enhai actually developed a sense of identity with this mental disorder company .

"haha..." Xiang Shan laughed: "Don't worry about this, brother, most of the best scientists are on our side."

"The best scientists "In fact, there will always be only a handful of people. This point is unambiguous. If the “academic influence” is converted into wealth by a numerical value, the Gini coefficient of the academic world will be larger than that of the countries with the largest gap between the rich and the poor.

In the case of Yoggmov · Voight is a member of Superman, Xiang Shan really has the confidence to say so.

"It is precisely because we are so good, so everyone's prediction of the future of the industry is basically very accurate. We have always used this vision to attack others." Xiang Shan After thinking for a moment: "Although I haven't missed it at all, the probability of our guessing wrong is still quite low."

"How low?"

"Currently mine The probability is 7%, David is 3%, Xinyu is 16%? Anatoly ignores 100%...but he is purely theoretical." Xiang Shan thought for a moment: "Yeah. Although Yogg is still zero so far, it is simply because the direction of technological development is defined by him, so there is no discussion."

Tao Enhai respected.

It can be described as a percentage...... How many patents does this company hold......

even more how......

Tao Enhai also returned The smell is coming.

The core of Superman Enterprise is the R&D department. They basically do not produce any physical goods. Using patents to attack transhumanism is basically meaningless.

With the introduction of Xiang Shan. Tao Enhai gradually outlined a blueprint for the company in his mind.

The two chatted all the way. During the period, it was accompanied by Xiang Shan's words "make soup, no salt and pepper"—probably ordering food. At about six o'clock, the two men arrived at Daqianmen.

"It suddenly occurred to me that it is only one or two stops away from West Third Ring Road." Xiang Shan sighed: "If I knew you were coming, wouldn't it be fine if you just let you wait here? Time wasted on the road."

The destination of the two is the Quanjude main store in Daqianmen.

Tao Enhai thinks this place is a bit flashy. He said: "Does the company usually have dinners here..."

"Yes, listening to your accent, you are also a local?" Xiang Shan said, "I'll just say it straight. Actually, I do. I don’t really want to choose the location here. But now Heaven and Earth is not my choice. The proportion of foreigners in the company is too high. They, ah, how can I say, they like this... understand?"

The two are nodded. Xiang Shan has learned about the box through smart glasses. He did not ask the waiter, and walked over with Tao Enhai.

Tao Enhai heard happy laughter and cheerful voices from a distance. As soon as he pushed the door, he saw a white-haired young woman singing various versions of the Internationale in unknown languages. There were several people around. In the corner of the restaurant, several people divided into three groups and debated fiercely.

At this moment, Tao Enhai felt that he was even more out of place.

In an entire box, I was the only one wearing formal clothes.

Everyone is in casual clothes.

Xiang Shan coughed slightly, but apart from the few people who had noticed here, everyone else was still immersed in their world. Xiang Shan had to raise his voice and said, "Comrades, let me introduce you. This is Dr. Tao En Haitao, whom I said before. He will join our research department from tomorrow. Welcome everyone."

Then there was sparse applause in the box.

It seems that the chairman has no special face here.

Xiang Shan didn't care, and directly arranged Tao Enhai to sit next to him.

Tao Enhai sits down and wants to get to know him at the same time.

But after seeing the person's appearance, he exclaimed: "Mr. Voight?"
