Doctor, I'm really strong!

However, now, after infinite analysis, future technology has gained independent lines, which means that Originium Arts will break through the original constraints and become something more convenient. It does not need to adhere to the original structure and can be drawn on anything and shaped at will, as long as the heat dissipation and the carrier can withstand it.

A great discovery, a revolutionary development!

Kroos immediately contacted Liu Jiuli and informed him of their research findings.

Liu Jiuli, who was reviewing documents, immediately put down his work and flew to the research department where Kroos was located. Kroos couldn't wait to show off their discovery.

A silicon wafer with a simple line on it.

"It is indeed a breakthrough development."

Liu Jiuli instantly realized what this meant: from today onwards, Originium Arts could be encoded, stored, and used in any form, in any state, and in any structure, as long as you knew programming.

Originally, I only wanted to make a breakthrough in software and incidentally study hardware, but I didn't expect to want both.

What a surprise! An unexpected surprise!

However, this also means that the traditional Originium Arts drawing and writing will be replaced by software and systems, and Originium Arts will become more stable, so that there will never be a situation where I am thinking about making materials and suddenly a dangerous item appears next to me.

"How long will it take to make it practical?" Liu Jiuli asked.

Kroos: "I already have an idea for the most basic programming software, it should only take a month."

Liu Jiuli looked at the silicon crystal panel and suddenly said, "Do you think this is really the origin of Originium Arts?"

Kroos immediately replied, "Of course, our discovery is already so revolutionary, but to use this kind of basic programming requires a lot of computing power. We used three quantum computers."

Liu Jiuli shook his head: "Have you ever heard the saying, 'A point moves to form a line, a line moves to form a surface, and a surface moves to form a solid'?"

"That's not describing geometry... I understand."

Kroos had a flash of inspiration and understood what Liu Jiuli meant. The original structure of true Originium Arts should be individual points that can exist independently without any extra meaning, but can be given effects when they are activated.

It can be split further!

This is so exciting!

As a researcher, Clooney became instantly excited. She didn't care about the high mountains and dangerous obstacles ahead; she just wanted to know what the view from the top of the mountain was like.

"I'm still counting on you for the rest of the research. Keep it up, great scientist."

"no problem!"

Kroos was full of fighting spirit.

Then Liu Jiuli summoned two men in blue peaked caps from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to carry Kelusier away.

"Huh? What did I do wrong?"

"Go and get some rest. Your dark circles are comparable to a panda's."

"This is a smoky eye! This is a smoky eye!"

Regardless of what he's pretending to be, Liu Jiuli is not allowing Kroos to continue acting so erratically. What if she suddenly dies on the job? Explaining to Kal'tsit is a minor matter, but losing a key researcher is a major one.

As a reward for discovering the basic line segment of Originium Arts, the research department received a large sum of money specially approved by Liu Jiuli, which instantly boosted their morale. However, before they were ready to continue their efforts, they needed to take a good vacation.

Your smoky eye makeup is pretty much the same as Kroos's. If you want to continue pursuing your dreams, then take good care of your body.

The subsequent programming and practical work was handed over to other applied technology research departments. Their job was to turn the new discoveries into physical means of production, which would then be mass-produced by the universal factory.

One conceivable use case is Originium Arts integration, which can efficiently integrate a large number of Originium Arts onto a small circuit board, similar to an integrated circuit in a computer. This would essentially give the staff an auxiliary AI, turning magic into intelligent technology, such as singing you a heartwarming song like, "Tell me, thank you, because of you, the four seasons are warm."

Don't you feel healed? (￣︶￣)

And this is just the very first and most basic step.

Section 115: The Ambition of a Small Businessman

(Happy May Day everyone, if you get a holiday...)

After the initial excitement, Liu Jiuli ordered a news blackout and classified it as top secret.

The reason is very simple: the research into the origins of Originium Arts has shaken many things, such as the sacredness of Originium Arts.

That alone is not a big deal; a tool is just a tool, and humans don't care about the quality of a tool. But what if this tool is tied to the interests of many people?

The value of Originium Arts lies not in the art itself, but in the sacredness it bestows upon many regimes on Terra.

Just like the first person in a primitive tribe to master fire, countless people could grovel at his feet. In the long history of Terra, Originium Arts have been bound together with bloodlines and power.

Now suddenly someone jumps out and tells everyone: Originium Arts are free for everyone to use, just like your rags are cheap, so come and play!

What do you think the reaction of those who benefit from the system will be?

Liu Jiuli can ignore the pincer attack from the two major powers, but what about the backlash from the vested interests of the entire Terra continent?

If he lost, everything would be for naught; if he won, the battlefield would be littered with corpses. This was not the scene he wanted to see.

In the game, as a Paradox Interactive player, you can shout "Boring, I want to see rivers of blood," but in reality, there are too many people and things that make you reluctant to make choices that even war criminals fear. Anyway, Liu Jiuli is quite reluctant to part with his comrades now.

Therefore, we must learn to conceal our talents and not flaunt our wealth. This is what our simplest ancestors did: develop our strength in secret. By the time others realize what's happening, you've already crushed the world. They can only accept it and try to survive under the new rules. This is the correct way for the strong to maintain their dominance.

However, while it's important to conceal one's shortcomings, one should still use them as before, just by changing the name, such as "Goodwill withholding wages," "Quantum reading," or "lifting a stone to drop one's own foot."

Technology begins with naming.

Rui, the pride of Chinese products, and Xing Coffee give you a thumbs up.

The weapons research department quickly took over this task, and the person in charge will definitely surprise you: the Broken Bones siblings (Broken Bones has an older sister, Misha. In the game, after Broken Bones dies, Misha equips Broken Bones' gear to fight, and then dies).

After all, their father was a talent in this field, and both siblings had received a complete education. After Shattered Bones found his sister, Misha first stayed in the medical department for a while, then was transferred to the technology research and development department, and finally came to the weapons department, where Shattered Bones also happened to be transferred.

The cadres of the Reunion Movement have all been reassigned to new jobs. For example, after studying hard, Mephisto is now a nurse in the medical department, which is quite different from his life in the game.

Faust is training in the sniper unit. He performed exceptionally well in the previous Battle of Chernobog and is now a second lieutenant. He will be sent for further training. The only problem is that the Red Guards do not currently have a proper military academy.

It's okay, everything is difficult at the beginning, but problems will always be solved. At worst, we can learn about war in the process of war.

After learning about Kroos's research findings, Misha and Shattered Bones were initially shocked, but then they excitedly threw themselves into the research and application of the new technology. Their main focus was on combining modern weapons with Originium technology, which you could think of as turning an AK47 into a fire unicorn.

True magical damage.

There are many technical challenges to overcome here, as it involves merging two tech trees that, while intersecting, are quite different overall. Fortunately, the technical difficulty is not so great that it would require creating a hybrid of Protoss and Zerg.

But that's okay. Once you have a goal, all that's left is to work hard.

Longmen Future Science and Technology City Commercial Street

Yun Teng sighed, put the ticket in his hand into the drawer, and felt very depressed.

Some time ago, Future Technology started promoting online shopping and created the Xunduoduo shopping platform. Yunteng saw the business opportunity in this and thought about creating an e-commerce platform as well. The ordinary people in Future Technology have strong purchasing power, the infrastructure is well-developed, and the public security is good. As long as he can develop it, he will make a fortune.

But to his surprise, his application for an e-commerce platform was rejected by the Red Guards.

Yes, the Red Guards. Future Technology Company belongs to the Red Guards. On this private land of Future Technology City (Liu Jiuli's name is on the purchase list of Longmen), the Red Guards are the ones who have the final say in management.

It's nothing. As long as you abide by the law, they will be your best protector. But what Yun Teng didn't expect was that after he sent his platform application, the Red Guards sent him a contract directly.

One point above that Yun Teng is very concerned about is that all online platforms must be subject to public-private partnerships.

Simply put, once a merchant platform goes live, they must unconditionally hand over 51% of their management control to the government. In other words, the government won't ask for anything except taxes and dividends from your business, but your financial management must be handled by government personnel, and the flow of funds will be entirely subject to government oversight. The good news is that you don't need to spend your own money on finances; the government will provide everything. However, when the government needs you, it can directly use the board of directors' power to demand that you do something, and you must obey unconditionally.

This request was simply absurd, and Yun Teng said he couldn't understand it at all.

Robbery! This is blatant robbery!

Why should you interfere with the surplus value I painstakingly extract? We want free trade!

But after he finished getting angry, Yun Teng realized that he seemed to have no choice.

For small business owners, Future Science City is the best choice.

While other countries value business, small business owners can be driven to bankruptcy by extortion and bribery without connections or resources. Such things happen every day in Longmen. Yun Teng has a businessman friend who does business in Longmen. He wanted to try his luck in Future Science City, but he was worried that he wouldn't be able to make it after leaving his familiar place, so he stayed in his original location to continue his business. As a result, he hanged himself last month.

His daughter was tricked by gangsters into using drugs and incurred a huge debt. When the gangsters came to collect the loan at exorbitant interest rates, he realized he could never repay the debt in his lifetime. In despair, he strangled his daughter to death and then hanged himself.

Ironically, the money that friend painstakingly earned in the Lungmen free market was less than what I earned in a month.

As a shrewd businessman, Yun Teng quickly figured out the key point.

The Red Guards are wary of the emergence of large merchants. This management model is designed to prevent large merchants from developing. Due to the special company structure, Future Technology itself is an internal circulation economy, and the quality and price of its goods are very low, which gives it an overwhelming advantage over the outside world. If it does not expand outwards, others will be lucky. Others simply cannot enter the market, forming a very special monopoly.

What Yun Teng didn't know was that this so-called monopoly was actually the nascent form of the country's domestic market. As a businessman, it was already quite remarkable that he could think this far from the perspective of profit.

The current situation is that small business owners simply cannot survive outside. There is no room for advancement. Even if they do develop, they will only become snacks for larger powers, who can devour them in a matter of minutes.

Future Science City gives small business owners opportunities, but they cannot play the snowball expansion game. In addition, a ceiling has been prepared in advance to block all business owners. You can only reach this height. If you exceed it, you will be cut off. This will keep the business group in a situation where small business owners are always gathered together.

Without the emergence of monopoly capital, the power of capital will be dispersed, and the polarization of social wealth will be controlled within a safe range, ensuring stable internal development. As long as you walk steadily enough, time will help you get rid of all your enemies.

However, this is unacceptable to ambitious businessmen. But the height that Liu Jiuli set was just right so that they could be rich and happy under the banner of Future Technology, but would be unable to compete with other large companies after leaving.

Terra's development model is extremely extreme, a completely thumbtack-like social structure. Small businessmen have no chance of transcending class to become monopolistic capital unless they take advantage of opportunities provided by the state. But Liu Jiuli only gave them hope to survive and live a prosperous life; any other thoughts should be abandoned.

It's important to know that Future Technology has never been listed on the stock exchange and remains a limited liability company, where Liu Jiuli has absolute authority.

Yun Teng knew that he couldn't possibly live a better life than he did here after he left, but he was unwilling to give up. So he decided to give it a try and see if he could break through the red lines of future technology and take himself a step further.

So he used a private account to register a website and started building his own e-commerce platform. Less than three days after the platform started operating, the fine imposed by the Red Guards came down. The amount made Yun Teng writhe on the ground in pain, but it wasn't enough to bankrupt him.

This is the deterrent effect of the red line: the first time results in a warning and a fine, the second time results in reporting to Sun Prison.

Yun Teng really couldn't understand it. If the merchants were doing well, wouldn't the Red Guards get even more tax revenue? He could earn a lot of money and pay a lot of taxes, which would be much more than a group of small merchants paying taxes every year. Why not take his position to the next level?

Oh, I get it. Because of the future technology monopoly, I can't monopolize it. That's it, that must be it!

Yun Teng felt he had seen the truth, but reality made him sigh helplessly.

"Forget it, this is fine too. At least it's much better than the uncertain life outside."

Yun Teng comforted himself, got up, and mustered his fighting spirit again.

At least as a small businessman, I am doing better than many big businessmen outside. Future Science City is a place full of opportunities, and all I have to do now is wait for the opportunity.

That day will definitely come!

Section 116: Kosichek's Choice of Sides

Today was a sunny day. Liu Jiuli was enjoying the aroma of milk tea when he was greeted by an unexpected yet perfectly reasonable guest: Black Snake Koschche.

"I never expected Your Excellency to grace us with your presence. Please forgive me for not welcoming you properly."

Liu Jiuli spoke sincerely, but he sat motionless in his seat, and apart from his words, his whole demeanor was perfunctory.
