Chapter 1189: Time Passes and Transfers
The moment Gao Xinjian saw Chen Chuan, he stared at him for a moment, then smiled and said, "Director Chen seems to be a very punctual person. I am Gao Xinjian."
Chen Chuan nodded and said, "Mr. Gao, it's our first meeting. Thank you for your invitation."
He could feel that apart from the security team outside, there were no powerful fighters around. The fighter from Dongxuan Temple who was suspected to be from Yuanren Company was also nowhere to be seen. There were only these two people in front of him.
Gao Xinjian stretched out his hand towards the table next to him and said, "Director Chen, please take a seat."
Chen Chuan nodded, and he and Gao Xinjian walked to the table together and sat down opposite each other.
At this time, the black-haired woman came up, picked up an exquisite porcelain bottle, and slowly poured the milky drink into an ancient tall cup.
There is a layer of clear and transparent liquid at the bottom of the cup. Once it is mixed, it becomes crystal clear and as pure as ointment, which looks pleasing to the eye.
Gao Xinjian smiled and said, "This is a kind of fat jade juice that is not very common today. It was the favorite of Emperor Ming in the past. Every drop of it must be collected at the right time. It is collected from the 'Cai Peng Ye' at the moment when day and night intersect in the blending ground. Not a single drop can be wrong.
A Caipeng tree needs to grow for more than a hundred years, and it takes a hundred trees to get such a bottle. This tree was hard to find in the old days, and the planting conditions were also very harsh. Before drinking, it needed to be mixed with the elixir water prepared by the Xuanshi. Emperor Ming had to take such a cup before practicing Xuan every day, which was a lot of trouble at that time.
But now there is a plantation in the fusion area of Heimo Continent. Using the cultivation technology of the new era, there are already 300,000 Caipeng trees there. The yield of each tree is more than a hundred times that recorded in the old times. Even if it is picked manually according to the ancient method, it only takes five to ten minutes now.
And by selecting the best from the best, their quality..." He looked at Chen Chuan, "will only be higher than before."
Chen Chuan knew Emperor Ming, the second to last emperor of the previous dynasty. He was not very concerned about governing the country, nor did he like to practice spiritual cultivation like other emperors of the previous dynasty. He was just addicted to pleasure and studying all kinds of delicious food and drinks.
However, what he noticed at this moment was that the jade juice was very heavy. Such a bottle in the woman's hand was as thin as a line of snow when poured out, without a difference of half a centimeter, and she maintained a graceful posture throughout the whole process, which required very stable hand strength and force-generating skills.
This woman gave him a strange feeling, a bit like a puppet, but also a bit like a human.
Gao Xinjian smiled and said, “Her name is Gao Yueying, and she is the embodiment of our Yuanren Company’s highest technology, a doll that is almost indistinguishable from a real person.
Her entire body is made of artificially cultivated alienated tissues, without any human material. She even has combat power comparable to that of a fighter, and has a high learning ability and growth potential, and can merge with active consciousness bodies to exert even more powerful power. "
Chen Chuan has some understanding of this aspect. If the puppet wants to reach the third level, the technical conditions are more stringent. The key is that similar costs are enough to create an active consciousness.
However, reaching the level of a fighter is more difficult than creating an active consciousness at the same level. After all, active consciousness does not have to consider body shape and inherent appearance too much when integrating technology, and is much more efficient in obtaining high-energy nutrients.
Of course, puppets also have their own irreplaceable advantages. Due to their realistic appearance and behavior, they often have better emotional interaction and affinity. If they also have certain growth potential...
He asked: "Has your company already reached this point?"
Gao Xinjian looked at him and said slowly: "Yueying was actually a product born by chance, and because the manufacturing cost and technology are extremely high and complicated, if there is no major breakthrough in technology, she will almost be impossible to reproduce.
In fact, my original intention was to get rid of her to prevent the company from making unnecessary investments in this area. After all, the use of human materials is cheaper and more cost-effective, has greater growth potential, and is more easily accepted by people. "
At this time he sighed, "But over the past decade or so, I have watched her grow up from a baby to where she is now. She is like my own child. My feelings of that kind have faded and I have tried to accept her."
At this time, Gao Yueying had already poured the two tall glasses and then handed them to the two people present.
Chen Chuan took it in his hand. He could clearly feel the heaviness of the slurry just now, but after it was condensed with the elixir water below, it became light and weightless.
There was a thin white mist as delicate as gauze at the top of the cup, and the alienated tissues in his body suddenly felt a desire, indicating that this thing was good for him.
Gao Xin smiled and held up the cup, motioned forward and said, "Director Chen, please."
Chen Chuan raised the cup, returned the greeting, put it to his lips and took a sip. He felt a cool breeze entering his body and his thoughts became unusually clear and lucid in an instant.
This thing actually has the effect of nourishing the alienated brain tissue and enhancing the spirit, which is very rare.
Gao Xinjian put down the cup and said, "Director Chen is young and promising. I have a son and a daughter. If they were still alive, they would be only two or three years older than you."
Chen Chuan had read the information and had some understanding of the situation of the previous generations of the Gao family, but he was not very clear about the next generation of the Gao family. The Gao family did a very good job of keeping it confidential.
Listening to Gao Xinjian's statement, he asked, "Are they gone now?" Gao Xinjian said with a complicated expression, "Our Gao family has a rare family genetic disease. Some children often do not live to adulthood, and they are unfortunately no exception."
Chen Chuan glanced at him and said, "Mr. Gao, I'm sorry."
Gao Xinjian smiled and said, "It's nothing. This is the fate of our Gao family."
His eyes revealed a spirit, "This may be a curse, but it is also a spur. Survival has always been our first motivation, and it forces us to move forward.
Our family has been committed to solving this issue, and in order to survive, we later established the Yuanren Company.
This also makes us much more aware of the crisis of the outside world than others, and we escaped from East Land and came here early.
But even after arriving at the land of Yingzhou, looking around, everyone we see is not our fellow tribesman. Looking at the fate of those primitive people, any East Continent person would feel uneasy. This also forces us to work hard to expand our own living boundaries and make ourselves safer.
Just like the current big bomb, it is because of the arrival of the other world that the world has to keep progressing, not because the people standing on the stage want it to be so. In fact, if possible, I think all of them, including me, hope that the world will remain unchanged forever. "
Chen Chuan did not deny this statement. Most things and most people are forced to become strong, not willing to do so. The pressure from survival is always the first priority. The same is true for those who practice martial arts.
But for him, apart from this, he enjoys more the process of becoming stronger little by little. The joy and wonderful feeling brought by self-growth are the real motivation.
Gao Xinjian added: "To put it simply, my Gao family was originally from the Jibei Dao. After the fall of the previous dynasty, my Gao family lay dormant for a while, and then we crossed the ocean to come here and open up a new world.
Over the past few hundred years, many people from East Land have come here to reproduce and thrive. In Heimozhou, one-third of the population is of East Land descent.
No one can accomplish anything alone anywhere. We need to work together and rely on the strength of everyone. But beyond that, we are also looking for more possibilities.
Over the years, Yuanren has been committed to providing mankind with a possibility, and puppet technology is one of them. It effectively makes up for the lack of combat effectiveness of the security system, which also makes it more concerned.
For example, the Federation has always wanted to obtain our technology. "
Chen Chuanshuo said: "I remember that Yuanren Company is a member of the consortium. Isn't that safe enough?"
Gao Xinjian said slowly: "The Federation does have a certain deterrent power, but this power cannot be used. It is based on a balance. When the pressure of survival becomes greater and greater, and there is an urgent need to concentrate power inward, this balance may be broken, and that may be another new situation.
After the big bomb hits, no one can guarantee what will happen. Only countries and organizations that are large enough will have a chance to survive. Yuanren Company has to make more considerations for this.
Non-my family, its heart must be different.
I agree with this statement, and I believe the federal people also view us in this way, so we have to seek some way out. "
He looked at Chen Chuan and said seriously: "The skyline of Dashun has given us a glimpse of a broader future. The investment in Jibei Road is only the first step. Later, we will gradually transfer some industries to Dashun.
We invited Director Chen to come here today, and we sincerely hope that Director Chen can give us some support, which will be very beneficial to Dashun and Yuanren Company. "
Chen Chuan looked at him and said, "Your company is willing to invest in Donglu, of course we welcome it, but I have a question. Even if your company returns to Dashun, can you really rest assured?"
Gao Xinjian smiled and said: "Any decision has risks and must be considered in light of the current situation. At least in the current era, Dashun is worth our choice.
More than two hundred years ago, the ancestors of the Gao family left Donglu and achieved a temporary prosperity. More than two hundred years later, we intend to return to Donglu..."
At this point, he looked at Chen Chuan and said, "I hope my decision is correct."
Chen Chuan nodded and said, "I think I know what Mr. Gao means."
Gao Xinjian smiled and gestured. Gao Yueying behind him clapped her hands, and a soft rope road was lowered on both sides. Then, the waiters in the banquet hall came over one by one with bell-shaped plates in their hands, with a symbol of etiquette.
