Chapter 1221

.

Jade District, Longteng Plan I Division.

Storm stood in front of Tao Wenxian, suppressing his impatience as he waited for Tao Wenxian to reveal the secret.

Tao Wenxian looked at the impatient Storm and chuckled. He stopped teasing Storm and said, "Storm, what do you think of the Hero's World's main system and the non-player controlled characters?"

Storm's expression froze as his breathing quickened. A thought flashed through his mind. Could it be …

"Jazz, what do you want to say?" Storm didn't say what he was thinking. He didn't want to be disappointed.

Tao Wenxian spread out his hands. "This matter is the top secret of the Mirage Technology Group. We don't know the specifics. However, I want to tell you that the AI system of the Mirage Technology Group isn't that simple. "

Storm's eyes kept changing. If the AI of the Mirage Technology Group was a real AI, an AI that was similar to an electronic life form and had seven emotions and six desires, then wouldn't the non-player controlled characters in the Hero's World be another kind of human existence?

If that was the case, then wouldn't his Senior Sister Lue Er also have real emotions?

If Tao Wenxian and Jian Wushuang could complete the genetic technology and transfer the non-player controlled characters in the Hero's World into their research, then wouldn't Senior Sister Lue Er appear in the real world? And just like a real human?

Storm's breathing stagnated. "Jazz, are you sure about this?"

Tao Wenxian quickly waved his hand. "Of course not! How would I know such a top secret? However, Storm, you can actually observe these things carefully! Maybe you can try the Turing Test? "

The Turing Test was a set of methods to test AI. In the world, there wasn't any AI program that could pass the Turing Test.

Storm frowned. "Jazz, maybe you don't know, but in the Hero's World, someone has already done the Turing Test. Almost all the non-player controlled characters have passed the Turing Test. So, until now, the players are still debating whether the non-player controlled characters in the Hero's World are played by humans or AI programs. "

"Alright, Storm, let's not talk about this anymore. This question is too profound! Now, have you decided to invest in us? "Tao Wenxian looked at Storm seriously.

Storm nodded and asked again, "How much investment do you need?"

Tao Wenxian raised his right index finger and said, "We need 655 million USD for the initial investment! Moreover, we won't sign any written contracts. Everything about our cooperation will be verbal agreements. At the same time, you must keep this matter a hundred percent confidential. If any information is leaked, we will shirk all responsibility. "

Storm was put in a difficult position.

Even for a super tycoon like Storm, 655 million USD was not a small amount. Without any cooperation agreement or documents, Storm was very worried!

"Think about it!" Tao Wenxian didn't rush him. He just reminded him, "Even if we can't work together, we won't make things difficult for you. I just hope that you can keep this a secret. Don't let this matter get out. "

Storm nodded slightly, then began to seriously consider the matter.

About a minute later, Tempest let out a sigh of relief. "I agree to your request! It's only a hundred million USD. At most, I'll be scammed by you! "

Tao Wenxian laughed. "As expected of the most famous tycoon in the Hero's World! Alright, don't worry. We'll record how this money is used. If you want to check the accounts, we can take out the records! "

As he spoke, Tao Wenxian handed Storm a piece of paper. "Transfer the money to this account. This is a confidential account. No one will trace it. Don't worry! Alright, to congratulate us on a happy cooperation, Storm, you'll treat us to lunch today! "

Storm rolled his eyes. "What do you want to eat?"

"I'll send you back to Shuanghu District! There's a sauerkraut restaurant in Shuanghu District. It's very special. Let's go! "Tao Wenxian was talking about Old Jiang Sauerkraut.

As usual, Jian Wushuang drove. The three of them returned to Shuanghu University around two in the afternoon. In Shuanghu University, they changed into Storm's Mercedes-Benz ML805 and rushed to Old Jiang Sauerkraut in the back street.

Storm's entry into Shuanghu University was recorded. If Storm appeared directly in the back street and there was no record of him leaving Shuanghu University, it would expose a big flaw.

Tao Wenxian took care of these details very carefully. This made Storm have a whole new level of respect for Tao Wenxian.

When Jian Wushuang drove Storm's Mercedes-Benz ML805 into the back street and parked the car, the three of them walked into Old Jiang Sauerkraut Private Restaurant. Their expressions changed at the same time. Their bodies stiffened as they looked at a person inside.

Shi Lei was already sitting in Old Jiang Sauerkraut Private Restaurant. On the table, the steaming hot sauerkraut was constantly emitting steam. Obviously, it had just been cooked.

"You're here? Is there a traffic jam on the road? Why are you so slow? It should only take about half an hour to come back from Zhongyu District, right? "Shi Lei said calmly.

Tao Wenxian said with a bitter face, "Stone Head, you know?"

Jian Wushuang's expression was also very ugly. He lowered his head and said, "Boss, I'm sorry!"

Storm looked at Shi Lei. He didn't know how to greet him. He could only stand there awkwardly, not knowing what to do.

Shi Lei pointed to the seats. "Come and sit. You haven't eaten yet. Let's eat first!"

Tao Wenxian nudged Storm and pouted. "Storm, you go first!"

Jian Wushuang also stared at Storm. Obviously, he had the same intention.

Storm understood what Tao Wenxian and Jian Wushuang meant. Compared to Tao Wenxian and Jian Wushuang, he didn't belong to Mirui Technology Group. Shi Lei shouldn't make things difficult for him.

"Director Shi, I'm sorry that we meet again under such circumstances!" Storm walked to Shi Lei's side and said with a bit of bitterness.

Shi Lei waved his hand. "Don't worry about it. Let's eat first! Old Jiang's cooking is very good. He has been specializing in sauerkraut for almost 75 years. It can be said that in the whole country, there are only a few restaurants that have this kind of sauerkraut! "

Old Jiang wasn't in the main hall of the private restaurant. Instead, he was busy in the kitchen. He still had to make handmade noodles to cook in the sauerkraut later.

Tao Wenxian and Jian Wushuang also walked over and sat on the bench with their heads down. They looked listless.

"Eat, eat! Don't be shy! "Shi Lei took the lead and picked up a piece of chicken wing essence with his chopsticks and put it in his bowl.

Tao Wenxian gritted his teeth. Since it was going to be a tragedy anyway, he might as well eat his fill first! After thinking it through, Tao Wenxian didn't hold back anymore. He picked up the chicken drumstick with his chopsticks and ate it in big bites. It was as if he was trying to turn his anger into appetite.

Jian Wushuang looked at Tao Wenxian and didn't hold back anymore. He pointed at the chicken drumstick and chicken wing and focused on eating the essence of the meat. Storm, on the other hand, was a little uneasy. He didn't eat much and didn't eat much.

Shi Lei finished a chicken wing and wiped the oil stains at the corner of his mouth with a napkin. Then, he whispered, "Jazz, Sword, the corporation already knew about your matter. They also expected that you would contact Storm."

Hearing Shi Lei talk about their matter, the three of them put down their chopsticks at the same time. Shi Lei waved his hand. "Continue eating, continue eating. We'll talk while we eat."

However, how could the three of them be in the mood to eat?

Shi Lei didn't force them. He continued, "Your research belongs to the category of research that is banned globally. Let's not talk about the regulations and laws. The corporation's higher-ups don't support this matter. It's not what you think. Biological weapons? Hmph! In the eyes of the corporation's higher-ups, biological weapons are too restrictive. The corporation can easily eliminate biological weapons! "

Storm looked at Shi Lei in shock. He had heard a little about Project Tianshen. The product of Project Tianshen was indeed very powerful. If it weren't for the flaws in Project Tianshen, humans who accepted the project would lose their independent thinking. Storm would probably be tempted.

After all, the product of Project Tianshen was almost superhuman in the eyes of ordinary humans. However, was a biological weapon of that level not a match for Mirage Technology Group?

Shi Lei noticed Storm's surprised gaze. He didn't explain further. He only said, "The corporation won't interfere too much with your research project, but we won't leave it alone either. Today, as the representative of the corporation's higher-ups, I'll make the following requests.

"First, your research should stop. Pure biological genetic technology can't achieve the final result.

"Second, transform and develop the technology that combines biology and machinery, which is biological robot technology. Using machinery internally and bionic muscles and skin externally, the final result will be the same. There won't be any legal or moral issues.

"Third, the corporation won't invest in any of your projects, but we'll provide the necessary support. If you need the non-player character subroutine of the Hero's World, the corporation can also transfer it to you. "

After making three requests in a row, Shi Lei clapped his hands. "Alright, let's continue eating!"

After Tao Wenxian and Jian Wushuang heard Shi Lei's request, they let out a long sigh of relief. Tao Wenxian said, "Stone Head, you should've said so earlier. You almost scared Lil 'Sword and I to death!"

Shi Lei chuckled but didn't answer.

Tao Wenxian looked at Storm and asked, "Storm, will you still invest?"

Storm nodded calmly. "Of course!"

According to Shi Lei's request, the technology to create 7D female characters had been shifted from biological genes to biological machinery. However, the overall situation wouldn't change. Moreover, Storm knew that Mirage Technology Group was so powerful. He couldn't wait to form a relationship with the corporation.

"By the way, CEO Shi Lei, I have a question." Storm looked at him and said.

"What question?" Shi Lei replied casually.
