Industry: Cthulhu

Chapter 19 Factory
"God, what a god!"

Brown came to Fang Yan excitedly, and as soon as they met he said mysteriously, "The latest gossip is that the Spirit of Light has suffered a major setback in front of the compass!"

Fang Yan was slightly startled. "The Spiritual Lord of Light? The only religious nation among the four giants, what happened to them?"

Brown said, "Rumor has it that the Light Spirit Master wanted to crack your algorithm and ended up burning two photon neural network computers in a row, leaving those charlatans gnashing their teeth in anger."

"But the charlatans refused to give in. They used a supercomputing array consisting of over a thousand nanocomputers to try to split the compass algorithm into countless fragments, with each nanocomputer processing one fragment, and using distributed computing to find the algorithm's weaknesses."

"Guess what?"

"Over a thousand advanced nanocomputers burned up instantly! The underlying logic hardware was completely scrapped! The charlatans suffered heavy losses!"

After Brown finished speaking, he slapped his thigh and laughed, looking as if he was gloating, and he was even happier than if he had won the lottery jackpot.

"You shouldn't be so happy when others suffer, right?" Fang Yan asked in confusion.

Brown said, "You don't understand. Although the Lord of Light is one of the four giants, this country is founded on religion. Even their scientists and engineers believe in a guy called the God of Light. They kowtow and worship him every day. It's completely different from us."

"I'm not the only one who's happy that these charlatans have been humiliated. All the engineers in the galaxy are happy too. We've all been looking forward to this day for a long time."

After Brown's introduction, Fang Yan understood that the Spirit Lord of Light was a pan-galactic alien. Although this country also had academies of science and engineering for the sake of power and development, their bishop claimed that science was created by the God of Light and the universe was also a product of God's creation.

Therefore, Pan-Galactic engineers are extremely disgusted with this country and would like to see them laugh at their expense. Perhaps this is what is meant by "people with different ideologies cannot work together."

"Your matrix encryption strategy is truly amazing," Brown praised. "More and more rumors indicate that not only the Light Lord, but also countless countries and forces have suffered significant losses in their attempts to crack the algorithm."

"What method did you use to make the algorithm's computational load explode exponentially when it was attacked, instantly overloading the computer?"

Hearing that Brown also believed that the computer's underlying hardware burned out due to overload and did not think it was due to a backlash attack, Fang Yan's heart was relieved.

As for the secrets hidden in the algorithm, Fang Yan naturally pushed them to the group of non-existent teachers, letting them continue to take the blame. After all, everything was researched by the teachers, and Fang Yan was just learning from them.

"Your teachers had such powerful abilities, but they eventually retired to the galaxy. It is really a great loss to the Milky Way." Brown couldn't help but sigh after listening to Fang Yan's fabricated story.

At this time, Li Muyun also came to find Fang Yan, and Brown told him about the humiliation suffered by the Spirit of Light.

Li Muyun was not so optimistic. Instead, he was worried about the future of the company. After all, the other party was a galactic overlord. If he took his anger out on Fang Yan and the company, the consequences could be very serious.

"do not worry."

Brown said, "The four giants of the galaxy are inherently hostile to each other, and they check and balance each other. Even if the Lord of Light wants something, the other three will definitely oppose it."

"Among the four giants, the Spirit Lord of Light is nicknamed the Divine Stick, and Leng Yinshan, located in the center of the Milky Way, is nicknamed the Barbarian. The real stabilizing force is actually Naga and Pontiac. The former is a republic, and the latter is a federal parliamentary system. It is precisely because of their existence that the Divine Stick and the Barbarian are forced to restrain their edge."

"Taking a step back, Earth is at the edge of the galaxy. Even the Lengyinshan Empire in the Central Ring is out of reach of our region. Instead of worrying about them, we should worry about the major powers surrounding Earth. After all, Alliance law is often useless at the edge of the galaxy."

After hearing what Brown said, Li Muyun finally felt relieved and started talking excitedly about the factory.

After some simple preparations, Blue Light Technology finally had its first factory. Li Muyun had come to Fang Yan to ask if he wanted to visit the factory. "Mr. Brown was also very helpful in this matter. It was thanks to his intervention that the federal government was so willing to sell us the large-scale experimental base that had originally belonged to China National Nuclear Corporation," Li Muyun said.

Brown quickly waved his hand, "We're family, so don't be polite. I don't like it."

"Zhonghe, Arefa, Lawrence Livermore, etc., these are all products of the Old Earth era, and are now abandoned or semi-abandoned."

"Your use of these ancient experimental facilities for your controlled fusion project is a good thing that benefits both you and others. I'm simply helping you to greet the Earth authorities and explain your goals and needs."

"Next, if you need it, General Fusion, Massachusetts Fusion, CERN, Princeton Plasma, these research institutes and laboratories from the Old Earth era can all be purchased. It's very cheap and won't cost much."

Brown's words made Fang Yan feel emotional. Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and European Organization for Nuclear Research had been such glorious places in the past.

Unfortunately, with the sudden arrival of the era of the universe, these top global scientific research institutions have gradually become abandoned and become useless.

……

Soon after, Fang Yan, Brown, and Li Muyun stood on the edge of an ancient mountain range, located in the far suburbs of the capital, surrounded by lush forests.

Once upon a time, this area was strictly controlled and blocked because it was a state secret.

Now, the factory buildings, including the Central Research Center, are dilapidated and the walls are covered with vines.

Fang Yan nodded slightly. The factory's location was very clever. The surrounding mountains and lush vegetation acted as a natural barrier. There was also a small river nearby with crystal clear water. Although the location was remote, there was sufficient water supply.

The three of them came to the factory entrance. Above a heavy iron door were engraved the words "China National Nuclear Corporation Controlled Fusion Research Center", but the font had faded a little.

"Boss, don't be fooled by the shabby exterior. The interior has undergone major renovations as required," said Li Muyun.

is it?

Fang Yan walked in doubtfully, and sure enough, the scenery was completely different from what he saw outside. All the offices and laboratories were wiped clean, and even the bedding in the staff dormitory was brand new.

Some of the experimental equipment and tools I requested are already in place, while some have just arrived and I haven't even had time to unpack the boxes.

"Although we are now in the era of the universe, our tradition of concentrating our efforts on major tasks has not changed."

Li Muyun said, "The Ministry of Science and Technology, and even the military, have all made significant contributions to this matter. In two days, this factory will be operational according to your requirements."

Brown, standing by, chimed in, "Fang Yan, I know you don't like dealing with officials, but to be fair, they've been quite helpful in your matter. When I heard you were going to personally work on controlled fusion, I was shocked by your efficiency."

"Do it well."

"This is not only Blue Light Technology's first factory, but also your first step towards the stars and the sea!"
