"In other words, I slept for a total of 68 hours, which is less than three days?"
Looking at the calendar displayed on the phone, Chen Chen showed a look of amazement. "I spent more than a month in the other world, but only three days have passed in reality?"
As if thinking of something, Chen Chen turned his head again and asked, "Has the USB drive been normal for the past three days?"
"Yes, except for the USB drive's teleportation after you woke up, there has been no change in the USB drive for the rest of the time."
Little X nodded her little head and then said happily, "So, you've solved the hidden danger?"
"Yes, it was a close call. In the end, I found the other party and killed him. It turns out that the antimeme was my predecessor..."
"You mean... The previous owner of the USB drive?" Little X asked in surprise.
Chen Chen replied. When he said this, he could not help but feel a little embarrassed. The antimeme itself had the ability to devour relevant information and was almost unsolvable. However, he had found a way to solve it under such circumstances.
To be able to do this, in addition to the calmness he had trained in reality, there was also a lot of luck involved...
"But even now, I still don't know who that predecessor is, what his name is, and what he does."
At the thought of this, Chen Chen could not help frowning. "X, check the Internet and see if there's any news. The effect of the antimeme has disappeared, so the Earth Federation is likely to have recalled 'his' existence. Maybe we can find out his past through the Internet."
"I'll give it a try."
Little X agreed, then she closed her eyes directly and began to frantically search the entire Internet for any suspicious information.
These pieces of information were found one by one, then quickly analyzed and calculated by Little X with extremely terrifying computing power, and then discarded. It took half an hour for Little X to roughly search some fixed websites.
"It's not working, I still can't find any clues."
Little X shook her head. "Do you need me to turn on the Prophet system to restore the other party?"
"There's no need."
Chen Chen waved his hand. "There are two possibilities. First, my predecessor isn't dead and the antimeme is still active, so no information can be found on the Internet. Second, the movies in the USB flash drive were released between 1998 and 2003. That is to say, the previous owner of the USB flash drive may have disappeared more than twenty years ago, so the Internet can't find him.
"If it's the first case, then it's useless to turn on the Prophet System. If it's the second case, there's no need to. Our network may not remember their existence, but it's impossible for the higher-ups of the Earth Federation not to know. After all, even the emergence of the Earth Federation was promoted by the former president. Now that only 20 years have passed, I believe that there are still many higher-ups alive. If they suddenly remember everything, they will naturally start to investigate. At that time, we can also find traces of their activities."
"Then, shall we just wait and see?"
Little X pouted and sat on the side, feeling a little bored. She picked up a glass of water and played with it.
Chen Chen smiled. "Alright, since there's no threat now, let me go."
"Alright." Little X agreed, and then the waiting cranes and other equipment began to dismantle the outer shell and armor of the isolation room.
Taking advantage of this time, Chen Chen suddenly had an idea. He stood up and sat in front of the laptop, and then directly inserted the USB flash drive in his hand.
When Chen Chen opened the USB flash drive from the computer, he immediately saw that the four extremely familiar movies in the USB flash drive had completely disappeared...
The four movies were "The Grudge", "Final Destination", "One Missed Call", and "Ring".
In addition, there were many more movies in the USB flash drive. These movies were of all kinds, including sci-fi dramas, historical dramas, and even modern romance dramas.
These were all put in by the FBI in another dimension when Chen Chen was asleep.
"Sure enough, the movies in the USB flash drive have really changed..."
Chen Chen could not help but feel a little dumbfounded. When he first got the USB flash drive, he thought of a question: Since the USB flash drive could only store movies that conform to reality, why did those four horror movies still exist?
Could it be that the four horror movies did not exceed reality?
This idea had been entrenched in Chen Chen's mind for a long, long time at that time, causing him to be constantly on tenterhooks. He was afraid that one day, his hand would shake and he would open these four horror movies by mistake.
But now, this worry was finally gone because these four movies had been opened in another world and then deleted by Chen Chen himself.
However, now it seemed that Chen Chen's worries and cautiousness were not groundless. If he had opened Ju-on when he first got the USB flash drive, then he would know what would have happened to the world in the dream.
"But then again, what was the reason for the predecessor to take things too hard and combine himself with the antimeme? And he even set up four horror movies in the USB flash drive, waiting for someone to take the bait? "
Chen Chen had a vague idea, but if he wanted to verify it, he was afraid that he would have to go to the movie Event Horizon...
Event Horizon, also known as Event Horizon, was jokingly called the prequel of Warhammer 40K by many netizens. The setting was slightly similar to the background of the tabletop game Warhammer 40K, especially the unknown space that the spaceship entered. Just like the subspace in Warhammer, it deliberately displayed a kind of madness, chaos, despair, and so on.
Of course, it was impossible for the current Chen Chen to go there and seek death. Even if he wanted to go, he would have to wait until his technology was sufficiently advanced. Now, he had not even gone into space, let alone explore the opposite of the human world — the subspace world.
Just like when he opened Ju-on when he was not strong enough, rashly entering Event Horizon could lead to death.
Thinking of this, Chen Chen understood the importance of stability even more. Otherwise, like the predecessor, even if the whole world was merged into a federation, in the end, he still ended up fusing with the antimeme, ending up in a state that was neither human nor ghost.
At this time, there was a series of clicking sounds outside the isolation room, and finally, the door was completely opened.
"Sir Godfather, the armor has been dismantled, you can come out."
Little X interrupted Chen Chen's contemplation and reminded Chen Chen behind him.
"Coming."
Chen Chen pulled out the USB flash drive again, turned around, and walked out of the isolation room.
However, this time, Little X's Black Knight avatar was closely following Chen Chen. As Chen Chen walked faster, Little X also had to hop and jump to keep up with Chen Chen's pace. From a distance, it looked somewhat comical.
"In the three days that you were away, SpaceX has signed a contract of intent with us. If all goes well, it will only take a few weeks for us to buy 10% of SpaceX's shares."
Little X consciously reported as she walked. "But if we want to invest in SpaceX, I'm afraid we have to report to the Foreign Investment Committee (CFIUS). Now that CFIUS has taken the initiative to contact SpaceX to confirm this matter, we can only invest if we get their approval."
Chen Chen could not help frowning when he heard this. Because this was related to the aerospace industry, it was indeed difficult to acquire a company like SpaceX. Moreover, the West itself was a group of hooligans, especially the first continent of the Earth Federation, North America. The case of a certain beat back then was still vivid in Chen Chen's mind. He was not willing to follow the path of this company.
Therefore, when Chen Chen first started the company, he did not consider North America.
"Then, go ahead and post a reward."
Chen Chen thought for a while and said, "Post a reward on the God's Forbidden Zone forum. As long as a family is willing to help us lobby the authorities, we'll pay them 10,000 information points and the family that succeeds in lobbying will receive anywhere from 50,000 to 100,000 information points."
"Yes, but recently, several consortia such as Rodriguez, Edwards, Munster, and your servant Brown have sent in messages."
Little X continued, "Dozens of members of the Northern American Regional Council simultaneously called for an investigation of our company at the regional council meeting. This is because we hold a large portion of Osmond Biotech's shares. They suspect that we're stealing the technology for the Alzheimer's drug..."
Chen Chen's footsteps paused and his eyes could not help but turn gloomy.
"This is why I hate setting up companies in the West."
Chen Chen snorted coldly. "Are the members of our plutocratic families all useless? Get them all to work hard and suppress this proposal. I don't want to see this proposal implemented. "
"Understood." Little X nodded.
It had to be said that as the influence of Chen Chen's company grew, it had completely attracted the attention of the Western regimes. If Chen Chen had not tied up a large number of European and American consortia with the "mankind anti-aging project", perhaps the sword of sanctions in North America would have been planted long ago, just like the company that developed 5G back then.
At this time, it was clear that this sword of sanctions was still hanging over the head of Blacklight Biotechnology. It was all thanks to the consortium of God's Forbidden Zone lobbying the North American officials and constantly pressuring the regional council that the sanctions had not been issued.
However, under the influence of the main theme, it was obvious that these consortia would not be able to hold on for too long.
"I originally thought that we could reach the point where Northern America, Europe, and other Western regimes can no longer control us before they react, but now it seems that they can't sit still."
Chen Chen sighed in a low voice. "Since they've completely noticed me, then let's go all out. There's no need to keep a low profile for the sake of hiding. Let's show them that we're not an existence that can be easily manipulated by them!"
"Are you really going to go all out?"
Little X was startled. "We have a lot of technology in our hands now. What technology should we release first?"
Chen Chen thought for a while. "Naturally, AD-001 won't do. I'm still planning to wait until next May to see if the plot in the movie will really happen by then. Also, we've already released all kinds of anti-cancer targeted drugs and there aren't any new biomedical products that are necessary recently. In that case, we don't have to stick to the biomedical industry."
"Then, let's try VR."
After thinking about it, Chen Chen sneered. "Didn't we use Musk's lace electrode technology? In that case, we can go with the flow and claim that we've developed a new electrode technology. We'll use the technology we got from Elysium's dimension as a sample to release the new electrode technology and make it into a VR device. The technology of the VR device can be obtained from Ready Player One."
Chen Chen said as he walked, "In this way, we can quickly get a lot of money and completely eliminate the financial constraints."
"You're going to change the Internet landscape?"
Little X was shocked when she heard this. Of course, she had seen the movie Ready Player One. According to the movie, the world was devastated because of the world war. Therefore, people turned their attention to the virtual world under the circumstances of a shortage of resources and an extremely poor quality of life, hoping to find comfort in the virtual world. Thus, the game Oasis came into being and quickly unified the entire Internet.
From eighty-year-old people to eighteen-year-old young people, they had completely regarded Oasis as an indispensable part of their lives. Simply put, Oasis was the Internet and the Internet was Oasis.
However, according to the current trend, the Internet world was changing with each passing day. Once a game like Oasis appeared, there was no need for a major change in reality to quickly sweep the entire Internet and completely reshuffle the Internet landscape.
"Even if I want to change, what can I do?"
The corner of Chen Chen's mouth curled up into a sneer. "Not only do I want to change the Internet landscape, but I also want to change the landscape of reality. I've thought a lot during this period. Biomedicine, the aerospace industry, and the Internet are the three major fields of human society that can lead to the future. Biomedicine can prolong human life and rejuvenate human beings;
"The aerospace industry can lead mankind beyond the earth and colonize outer space. This is also one of the fields that human history will absolutely not give up;
"And the Internet, corresponding to reality, represents the second world of human society. If the real world represents the needs of human beings on the material level, then the Internet is the needs of human beings on the spiritual level. The Internet will only change, but it will never be eliminated."
Hearing Chen Chen's analysis, Little X could not help but nod. Just as she was about to say something, Chen Chen's next words completely shocked her...
"Releasing VR and reshuffling the Internet landscape is just the first step in my plan."
Chen Chen continued to add. "I've divided the Internet landscape into four sub-eras — the first era: the VR era, which is the era when the VR field breaks through the traditional constraints and is upgraded from audio-visual to audio-visual, smelling, tasting, and touching!
"This era will inevitably form an impact comparable to the Industrial Revolution because it represents the prototype of the virtual world and may even represent the birth of a certain evolutionary branch of human beings...
"And then, the second era — the artificial intelligence era. Artificial intelligence enters the civilian era and robot butlers enter thousands of households.
"In this era, I've also laid the foundation, which is Project Xingtian! Next, I'll let Project Xingtian continue to evolve and let the androids be completely born...
"Then, the third era — the Skynet era. At that time, I'll release new strong artificial intelligence and let these strong artificial intelligence be officially used by the Earth Federation. At that time, the court will hand over sentencing and trial work to AI to achieve true fairness and justice!
"And the last sub-era in the plan, I call it... The virtual reality era!
