Affected by the epidemic, the office environment in the Lion City is sluggish, and the occupancy rate of office buildings across the island shrank by 0.3%. Commercial real estate prices have fallen again and again.

Kechuang Biotech spent huge sums of money to purchase an office building 4km down from the Tuas Biomedical Park in the Lion City, close to the Pacific Ocean, and transformed it into a research and development center integrating experimentation and office with full authority of Aibo Biotechnology.

The pharmaceutical research and development industry in the Lion City is very developed. Among them, Tuas Biopharmaceutical Park contains research institutes of multinational pharmaceutical companies such as AbbVie, Alcon, GlaxoSmithKline, Pfizer, Roche Pharmaceuticals, and Shire.

The supporting facilities are very complete, but the office building chosen by Kechuang Biotech is some distance away from Tuas Biomedical Park, so it can only enjoy some of the conveniences of Tuas Biomedical Park.

This office building will serve as the Lion City R&D center of Science and Technology Biotechnology. Including renovation costs, the total cost is 1.68 billion lion yuan, which is approximately 8.4 billion RMB.

For Kechuang Biotechnology Co., Ltd., which has 5 billion yuan unspent on its books, this money is small money at best.

Before building an R&D center in Lion City, Lei Jun came to Suzhou to talk specifically with Zheng Li. He felt that there was no need to invest so much to build an overseas R&D center.

"Junior brother, it is very common for pharmaceutical companies to build R&D bases overseas. Especially for scientific and technological innovation, the development cannot only rely on endorphins."

"I can completely understand and support it. The R&D environment and various supporting facilities in the Lion City are very good. Rice may also establish a R&D base in the Lion City in the future."

"But it is not necessary to buy an office building. You can mainly rent office buildings in the early stage. If the scale increases in the later stage, you can consider buying or even building yourself."

Lei Jun and Zheng Li now generally refer to each other as senior brothers to show their closeness.

Zheng Li still holds 70% of the shares of Kechuang Biotech and has absolute controlling rights over the company, while other shareholders only have the right to make suggestions.

Lei Jun's suggestions are typical Internet thinking, running fast in small steps and iterating continuously.

Zheng Li replied: "I plan to stay in Lion City in the future. Cheng Gang and Li Miaomiao are watching over the company. I will stay in Lion City after the R&D base in Lion City is completed. I have new research goals."

"

"The R&D base in Lion City will support the development of Kechuang Biotech in the next five years."

Zheng Li's answer made Lei Jun curious. It has been a year since Zheng Li studied the industrial synthesis route of endorphins. He had no other output during this year, and he did not mention that he was doing it every day in the laboratory in Suzhou.

What.

"If this is the case, then I think there will be no problem with the R&D base in Lion City."

"But I'm still curious about what your research goals are?"

Zheng Li replied: "Brain-computer connection, I have been researching this direction last year. I have some results and some clues. I need to go to the Lion City to verify my ideas."

"The reason why we have to go to the Lion City is because the Lion City has a relatively rich population, and we need a rich enough race to conduct experiments on brain-computer interfaces."

Compared with the relatively single yellow race in China, Southeast Asia has much richer races.

Zheng Li continued to explain: "Moreover, different languages ​​will produce differences in people's consciousness. The same brain wave signal is likely to express different meanings in different language systems."

Lei Jun looked confused when he heard this. He didn't understand what Zheng Li said. Most people don't know that language family affects your cognitive function.

Zheng Li: "So I need to conduct more multi-dimensional experiments to revise my theory and my products."

Zheng Li's statement was an external statement. In fact, the reason why he wanted to go to the Lion City was that he had made a breakthrough in the artificial magic brain.

Artificial magic brain is a very common technology in the Mage Alliance, and it is applied to everyone, but it does not mean that he can make artificial magic brain. He understands the principles inside, but it will take time to reproduce it.

Just like everyone in China who has received a middle school education, they know the principles of steam engines, but if they are thrown into ancient times, it may not be that easy to reproduce a steam engine without tools.

Of course this is just an analogy.

Moreover, Americen has blocked many top scientific research equipment from China.

There are as many as 4,500 commodities on the Americen control list, more than 40% of which are scientific research equipment required by laboratories.

These scientific research equipment can be purchased in the Lion City, but not in China. This is also an important reason for Zheng Li to go to the Lion City.

Another very important point is that even if he created an artificial magic brain, Zheng Li would not dare to use it on himself immediately. He would also need experimental subjects to conduct experiments.

Zheng Li’s external statement is that brain-computer interfaces need to be developed.

Lei Jun asked: "Are there any preliminary products that can be displayed now?"

Zheng Li took him to the laboratory on the seventh floor and handed him a black helmet, "After you put it on, try to use your consciousness to control the points on the screen."

"Imagine the point on the screen as a mouse and try it."

Lei Jun looked at the white dots on a black background and had a great time playing.

Zheng Li continued: "You can try our little game."

After speaking, Zheng Li sat on the other side and also put on a black helmet. He continued: "I control the white bar on the left, and you control the white bar on the right. This is a table tennis game."

"The white strips are the shots and the white dots are the ping pong balls. We can't let the white dots touch the black parts on both sides."

Lei Jun nodded and said: "Isn't that just like the first computer game in history?"

The first computer game was a table tennis game that Amerikan scientists who were studying nuclear weapons used a computer combined with an oscilloscope when they were bored, and controlled it with a handle - a light spot bounced back and forth between two boards.

After playing around for a while, Zheng Li stood up and signaled: "Let's go."

Lei Jun is still a little reluctant to leave:

"I will fully support you. You are truly a genius among geniuses."

Zheng Li said calmly: "The current brain-computer connection technology is still far from mature. In the next days in the Lion City, I will devote all my efforts to research and development of brain-computer connection technology and commercialize it as soon as possible."

Lei Jun asked: "Can brain-computer connection technology be applied to mobile phones?"

Zheng Li: "They are all mature API interface calling methods. Brain signals are converted into electronic signals. If you can connect to a computer, you can connect to a mobile phone."

Lei Jun: "Dami has been in a difficult situation recently. I'm not afraid of your jokes. It has been established for almost ten years, and it can only use cost-effectiveness as a sign."

"I want to break through the high-end market but I can't. Even today when Huawei is blocked by Americen and the high-end brand market is severely depressed, Rice still can't gain a foothold in the high-end market of mobile phones."

Zheng Li doesn’t understand the mobile phone industry, or he doesn’t understand Blue Star’s consumer goods industry: “Is there anything bad about cost-effectiveness?”

"Rice is a cost-effective product. Why?" Zheng Li stopped talking halfway through.
