In fact, it is just a matter of thought.

Li Yan has currently reached 80% progress in almost all of his skills, and there is a vast ocean ahead for all of his skills.

The skills that can exceed 80% of the progress are the few skills at levels three and four.

It is normal for the body to stay at 80% without extremely high-intensity training. The skills that can be improved are basically due to his in-depth research on lithography machines and biological sciences in the past year.

Even though I’ve read a lot of books, 80% of my level skills are in science.

Should we say that the upper limit of liberal arts is relatively low, or is it really difficult to judge "liberal arts abilities beyond human standards"?
Li Yan didn’t understand, he just kept on learning.

Over the past year, my thinking and exploration of the system has never stopped.

What is more surprising is that improving skills after 80% is not as difficult as imagined.

The vast ocean was indeed boundless, but there were no rough waves. Li Yan actually gained some improvement during the long voyage.

He thought that the image of the vast ocean meant that he had to find the right path to make progress, but he didn't expect it to be so difficult.

However, it is not yet known whether this is good news or bad news.

Li Yan has basically determined the level represented by 80% - the top level among humans.

Maybe it’s the level of an individual genius, or maybe it’s the level of the most outstanding group.

The memory of 85 alone shows that he has the ability to memorize everything he sees and the memory capacity to never forget anything.

Li Yan does not think that the memory he currently possesses is at the level that "humans" can possess.

He had only seen this kind of people on TV in individual instances where they displayed "extraordinary superpowers", but they were often limited by various conditions.

Li Yan doesn't need any conditions.

With strong thinking speed and logic, Li Yan's retrieval ability is also outstanding.

He could easily recall at any time the positions of everyone and every word spoken in a meeting a year ago.

It is no exaggeration to say that this is a capability never seen before in history.

He was very clear that after reaching 80% progress, he was gradually improving in the direction of exceeding the theoretical strength of humans.

Standing before him was a sentence:

“The power of an individual is limited.”

Li Yan is not in a hurry to improve his ability values ​​at the moment - this is also because he really doesn't know how to improve it quickly, because his values ​​are already overflowing.

During his exchange of views on biological science research with Academician He Xiaogang of BGI, he helped Academician He publish three high-level papers. His research ideas made Academician He sigh that he was like a student in front of Li Yan.

In this niche field, Academician He is also the first person.

This shows Li Yan’s current strength.

But... there's still something missing.

If Li Yan’s next step is indeed to “transcend”, then there is a very simple logic - how can one break through human limits by learning the knowledge currently mastered by humans?
For example, when it comes to having a photographic memory, only the important parts are worth remembering. Having a good memory certainly has its advantages, but in this age of information everywhere, forgetting some details doesn't matter.

Having a true photographic memory does not bring about any qualitative change in your ability improvement.

The time has come for Li Yan to monetize her abilities.

If the end point of the system is just one person possessing the skills of a hundred people, and all of them standing at the top of humanity, it would be really boring.

In that case, Li Yan's greatest value would just be her legendary status.

What he can do alone, a super elite team of 100 people can also do - if the team can cooperate smoothly.

So Li Yan needs a bigger platform, and he needs to mobilize more resources to help him accomplish some things that humans cannot do yet.

Break through on your own.

The Future City is the first step.

But with such a big move, there's probably still a lot of things to grind...

"Two square kilometers? Dasha Island?" Li Ming, the chief officer of New Taipei, frowned after listening to Ren Jiangfeng's report.

This secretary, who has been in charge of the provincial capital for five years, is already in his fifties, but he looks very young, with delicate features. When he was young, he was also a famous young man in the system.

But in fact, he is a man with a bad temper. In the past five years as the chief official of New Taipei City, he has often scolded his subordinates.

The key is that those who are criticized are convinced and dare not react.

Because Li Ming's criticism was well-founded.

He is indeed a rare all-round leader who has a lot of knowledge and a good memory. He is almost sixty years old but still very energetic. It is generally recognized in the circle that his next stop will be a senior official in charge of a region.

"Yes, he didn't want any of the three core plots we prepared earlier. He rejected them almost immediately and only wanted this one."

"According to what Li Yan said before, he wants to build a demonstration city, right?" Li Ming gave the secretary a look, and the secretary left the office obediently. Now there were only the top two from New Taipei City in the office.

"Yes, Secretary."

"The demonstration city covers an area of ​​two square kilometers, and there is nothing around it. What are Li Yan's considerations?" Li Ming took out a cigarette. He had this habit when he was deep in thought.

"He also said that he would build a factory upstairs and move it here first." Ren Jiangfeng pulled over a chair and sat down, showing Li Ming the meeting minutes.

"Build a factory?" Li Ming was stunned. "Two square kilometers is too big for a high-tech demonstration. Xin'an Science Park is only 2 square kilometers, with hundreds of high-tech enterprise headquarters on it. Can Li Yan Future Technology support it? But it's not enough to build a factory. Even if he doesn't plan to introduce basic factories such as lithography machines, chips, and drones, Dasha Island is definitely not enough for a full-chain factory area for a Jiaolong mobile phone."

Ren Jiangfeng nodded, "I've confirmed with him, and that's exactly what he thinks."

Seeing that Li Ming didn't say anything, Ren Jiangfeng continued:

"I think it is impossible for Li Yan to give up the Rongxi Industrial Park, which has already grown in scale. He has just built a landmark headquarters in Baijiang New City, and it is unlikely that he will move all the core industries to Future City."

"Isn't this nonsense?" Li Ming was always very direct when discussing things behind closed doors. "He kept saying it was a 'demonstration'. When did he ever say we would move all of them?"

Ren Jiangfeng nodded, "So I don't quite understand what he meant by building a factory."

"What's so confusing about this?" Li Ming shook the meeting minutes in his hand. "He never said from the beginning to the end that he only wanted Dasha Island."

Ren Jiangfeng was not surprised by this and just continued to nod.

"In the future, urban construction will also require the construction of residential communities. Can this be done on Dasha Island? Li Yan is clearly using this small area of ​​Dasha Island as a demonstration to co-build with us."

"That's what I thought. I briefly mentioned the idea of ​​building a bridge to him, and he immediately gave me a direction for the plan."

Seeing that Li Ming had no reaction to the words "planning direction", Ren Jiangfeng had an idea in his mind.

"Secretary, did Secretary Huang tell you anything?"

Li Ming took a few puffs of his cigarette and said, "I should attend this meeting. You are too careless, Jiang Feng."

"Yes, it's my problem. I wanted to start with it, so I didn't let you attend the meeting."

"I'm afraid Li Yan has had his intentions for a long time, no matter whether it's Dasha Island or any piece of land in the eastern part of Dongshi. As long as you give it to him, he will definitely go for it. What he wants is a large piece of undeveloped cheap land, which is not easy to find in New Taipei. He is very clear that Future City is a demonstration, but supporting a demonstration area requires a lot of foundation. These foundations cannot be laid by Li Yan alone. He said that relocating the factory, building a community, and building a hospital are just a drop in the ocean."

"You want us to pick up the tune?"

"What else? Do you expect him to build a city in Dongshi? He gave us an opportunity, and we will take advantage of it to build infrastructure and development. By then, it will be natural for Li Yan to build factories on the large tracts of land along the coast of Dongshi. With employment, there will be no worries about other supporting facilities not being used."

Ren Jiangfeng remained silent.

Li Ming put out his cigarette, "Jiang Feng, what do you think?"

"It's a bit risky." Ren Jiangfeng said, "Although Li Yan has created enough miracles, the investment this time is huge and we face considerable risks. If we fail, we may suffer a backlash from all sides. Moreover, the northbound route was changed to eastbound because of his company, which affected too many people."

"Did you talk to him alone afterwards?"

"Yes."

"He didn't tell you how much land in the East Stone District he wanted?"

“…I’m ashamed to say that I haven’t.”

"Did he explicitly say that the factory would be moved to Dasha Island?"

"He said that the two square kilometers would not be used to build high-rise buildings, but would be used to build test sites and factories."

Li Ming frowned and knocked out another cigarette, "Where is Qian?" Ren Jiangfeng was suddenly stunned.

"Relocation... I think it was discussed after we talked about the eastward expansion. I mentioned to him the difficulties of building a new city, and he said that the factory would be relocated first."

Li Ming suddenly took the cigarette out of his mouth quickly - this was a sign of his irritability. Normally, he would have been yelling at people.

"He has no intention of moving to Dasha Island. He is obviously asking you for the land in Dongshi! The new factory is placed together with the test site. Do you think it is for samples, demonstrations, high-tech or basic production lines?"

Is it...obvious?
"Jiang Feng, you were promoted from the science and technology department, so it's understandable that you don't know much about land planning. What about Wang Ping? Director of the Planning Bureau, didn't he say that there is not enough land to build a factory?"

"He didn't speak."

"Shit." Li Ming put the cigarette back in his mouth. "Li Yan is testing us. His ideas are too big. Whether it's creating a demonstration area out of thin air, or promoting planning changes and directly building a new city, it sounds like a big step. If we express our support, he will reveal more. Now it seems that we haven't given him confidence."

Ren Jiangfeng remembered that Li Yan did not reveal any useful information when they talked to each other alone, so he kept saying that he wanted to talk to Secretary Huang, and gradually came to his senses.

"But your consideration makes sense. He is not doing charity, and neither are we. If we want mutual benefit and win-win results, we need to study it carefully." Li Ming took a deep breath, "But... Li Yan's personality, I thought he would not try to test us. It's okay to tell you, Secretary Huang is very supportive, Secretary Huang has already told me about the strategy of moving eastward."

This was completely beyond Ren Jiangfeng's expectations. "Secretary Huang, do you support it to this extent?"

"The idea of ​​connecting the cross-sea bridge to Fengcheng can be brought out. What do you think?"

"What about us?"

"The province is the province after all, and we have different considerations from the province. To really build a new city is as difficult as climbing to the sky. There are too many examples of failure before, and you know how much effort it took to build Baijiang New City. I am not sure if I can rely solely on future technology. Do the research that needs to be done quickly, and make two versions, one conservative and one open. I will call Secretary Huang later."

"clear."

"Oh..." Li Ming carefully read the minutes of the meeting again, "No wonder Li Yan was so tentative. Xian Qingsong talked about the shortcomings of the land right away..."

"Yeah, I don't know what he's thinking."

"With his consideration as a district, forget it."

After Ren Jiangfeng left, the secretary just pushed the door open and Li Ming waved him: "Go out first."

The secretary then turned around and closed the door.

Li Ming finished his cigarette, opened the curtains, turned on the exhaust, and then called Huang Guohui.

"Secretary Huang..."

After Li Ming roughly explained the situation and analyzed it, he was waiting to hear Secretary Huang's opinion, but he heard shocking words:

"Li Yan tested you? You actually let Li Yan's mentality become a test? Li Ming, you are confused!"

Ren Jiangfeng was holding a video conference over there when he suddenly heard a hurried knock on the door, and then the door of the conference room was opened directly.

Li Ming looked around angrily, then walked straight to Xian Qingsong, who looked confused, and pointed at him and cursed:
"Xian Qingsong you ***!"

Li Yan naturally had no idea about these discussions and analyses within New Taipei City. His considerations were actually not much different from Li Ming’s analysis.

I know that the authorities take him seriously, but this cannot be used as a premise to communicate with the authorities.

Even though he knew that the province attached great importance to him, he still needed to test the city's intentions.

Wanting to drive the development of the area by one's own efforts is, at best, a grand blueprint, and at worst, it is a sinister intention.

Just how much money each province, city and district will contribute to the cooperation is enough to discuss for a while.

If Li Yan uses the province to put pressure on New Taipei right from the start, it will inevitably be difficult to expand cooperation later.

If we want to realize a truly world-leading technological demonstration site, we must go all out in cooperation and there cannot be any obstacles.

But Li Yan cannot give the initiative to the government. If it ends up becoming a replica of Future Technology moving into a certain science and technology park, it will be meaningless.

It is necessary to have absolute control and at the same time have the government willingly provide unimaginable resources.

It's hard.

The most crucial point is that Li Yan cannot figure out the official attitude towards him.

It is useless to just know that "it is very important". It is not clear what the lower limit of Li Yan's freedom is and what the upper limit of support that can be given to Li Yan is.

After Li Ming angrily criticized Xian Qingsong, the relevant units in New Taipei City completed the first version of the "Dongshi District East High-tech Zone Plan" at a high speed and high standards, and it was soon recognized by Huang Guohui.

So in mid-November, Li Yan was invited by Huang Guohui to attend a special tea party.

There were only five people attending the meeting, including Li Yan, Huang Guohui from Linjiang, Song Chun, Li Ming from Xinbei, and Ren Jiangfeng.

The theme of the meeting is very clear.

It was the first time that Li Yan saw New Taipei City’s carefully prepared plan when she arrived at the scene. She only took a quick look and already had an idea in her mind.

"See if there are any opinions or needs," said Huang Guohui.

Li Yan read it carefully and said, "Secretary Huang, as far as the current planning content is concerned, it basically meets my expectations. Dasha Island is a demonstration site. The northwest of Dasha Island is an industrial zone, the southwest is residential and supporting facilities, and there are two bridges... I can even say that it is better than I expected. I originally thought that two square kilometers of Dasha Island plus six or seven square kilometers of the northwest would be the maximum, but now they have directly given us twelve square kilometers, which can be regarded as a new city."

Several leaders laughed.

"But I still have a question." Li Yan covered the planning text.

"Please speak." Huang Guohui kept smiling.

"Is this high-tech zone planning a leading project led by Linjiang with Future City as the main focus, or is it a project led by Future Technology and co-built by the government after selling so much land to me?"

Li Ming and Ren Jiangfeng were both stunned.

"Which one do you want?" Song Chun asked. The gray-haired and kind-looking No. 2 had never really interacted with Li Yan.

"The latter." Li Yan said bluntly, "Leaders, I see the sincerity of this plan, but for me, if I can't take the lead, I would rather just take the 2 square kilometers of Dasha Island."

The meaning was very clear. Since he couldn't give Li Yan the initiative, he was too lazy to cooperate with the official eastward development plan. He just treated it as an experimental field exhibition hall and created a demonstration site out of thin air.

"It's up to you." Huang Guohui's smile was still sincere. "Old Song, Li Ming, Jiang Feng, I think we should do it according to Li Yan's wishes. Make a detailed plan and communicate more with Li Yan. Sell the land when it's time to sell it, and build the infrastructure first. If the project is to be launched, we should do it as soon as possible."

Now, no one in the tea room responded.

Even Li Yan was stunned.

What's going on? Why are you agreeing so readily?
It all depends on what kind of pampering you are in response to?

You make me look like a joke, boss!

"Do you have any other demands?" Huang Guohui asked.

"No, Secretary Huang is so supportive, so it's just as you said. If you want to start it, just start it quickly."

"Funding is not a problem, right?" Song Chun said with a smile.

"Future Technology still has a lot of capital." Li Yan also smiled, "But..."

"Don't worry, Linjiang and Xinbei will contribute their share, and every bit of it will be indispensable." Huang Guohui actually dispelled Li Yan's doubts before they could even raise them.

Afterwards the five of them didn't mention the matter much, and the conversation basically turned into idle chat about everything under the sun. However, since everyone's time was precious, they ended the conversation tacitly after a few more sentences.

On the way back, Li Yan felt mixed emotions.

It seems that the upper and lower limits of the official attitude towards him are far more exaggerated than he expected.

Was he too cautious in testing New Taipei City? But looking at Xian Qingsong's statement and Ren Jiangfeng's performance at that time, it really didn't look like the signal Secretary Huang sent today...

Perhaps, the higher the level, the more important Li Yan is?
But Li Yan had talked about this matter with Huang Guohui before. Huang's attitude cannot be said to be bad, but he also has many concerns of his own, and he definitely would not support it as wholeheartedly as he does today.

what happened?

Alas... Li Yan sighed inwardly. Based on his understanding of this group of people, the only question he would never be able to answer honestly was "What position does Li Yan hold in the official's heart?"

"It can be true, but we can't know it's true." Li Yan murmured, "This is the unpredictable rule of man."

Xiao Gao was confused after hearing this.

Over at the teahouse, Li Ming and Ren Jiangfeng, who were about to leave, were stopped by Huang Guohui.

"There are some things I didn't intend to tell you, but since Li Yan is determined to take root in New Taipei, you still have to listen to them."

"Leader, please give me instructions." Li Ming quickly pulled out a chair and sat down. His movements did not look like that of a man who was almost sixty years old.

"What I want to talk about is the country's attitude towards Li Yan."
