How come the celestial technique I stole is so powerful?!-Chapter 93: Changsheng Group Also Has a Battle for Power
Chapter 93: Chapter 93: Changsheng Group Also Has a Battle for Power
Ding Lizhong said, "Why would I have the leisure to dabble in Jade? This was given to me by an old friend."
"An old friend, who?"
Ding Lizhong was somewhat reluctant to answer; he suddenly felt that his future son-in-law was starting to seem rather vulgar...
Ding Ruoshui spoke up: "This was given by Uncle Huang from the group. Uncle Huang is my dad’s best friend, and also someone who takes the technical route."
Uncle Huang!
Within the senior management of Changsheng Group, there was only one with the surname Huang—Huang Chengwang!
The Chief Engineer of Changsheng Group, focusing on neutrino communication.
Within the management hierarchy of Changsheng Group, he was ranked in the top ten.
Among these top management members, he and Ding Lizhong were the only ones who were technically oriented.
All of this was information that Chang Ye had found through Dragon Eye on that day, with an abundance of details that Lin Xiaosu had taken in at a glance, already forming his own organizational framework regarding Changsheng Group.
"Uncle, actually, I came here because Ruoshui told me you were in trouble."
At this moment, Ding Lizhong was contemplating making an excuse to leave.
Because he realized this prospective son-in-law began to seem a bit too mundane.
It’s not easy for a daughter to be serious about a boyfriend, one has to give her some face no matter what...
Suddenly hearing this statement, Ding Lizhong temporarily dismissed the idea of retreat...
But he didn’t speak.
His trouble was great, but his issues were also his taboo.
To discuss this with a young man, there was no need.
Lin Xiaosu said, "I don’t have any other special skills, I just like to crack cases."
Ding Lizhong’s eyes slowly lifted, staring at Lin Xiaosu with surprise: "You... you like solving cases?"
"Yes!"
"So, what have you figured out?"
"Uncle must have been targeted by someone!"
"Of course, I was targeted!" Ding Lizhong let out a sigh: "Because I never actually did that thing, even though the whole world believes I did, I know very well that I’ve been maliciously targeted."
"There is no causeless targeting in this world, uncle must have thought about who would target you?"
"Enemies!"
"As far as I know, you are technically oriented and have almost never dealt with business competitors; even if Changsheng Group has made enemies in the industry, it would be hard for that enmity to fall on your head."
"That’s not necessarily true!" Ding Lizhong said: "Business competitors are all enemies—rivalries in business ultimately boil down to technological competition. Taking me out would deal a heavy blow to Changsheng Group; that’s their motivation."
Ding Ruoshui’s hand slightly trembled, causing ripples in her tea cup; she agreed with this point.
Her father represented the technical strength of Changsheng Group; taking him out would be a severe blow to the group, which would be a significant advantage to competitors. Business is like a battlefield, so it’s possible for industry peers to make a move.
Lin Xiaosu said: "So, uncle, have you been confined to your house, and Changsheng Group’s research and development has ceased?"
"How could that be possible? They are underestimating Changsheng Group too much. Without me, Changsheng Group will naturally have new leaders in scientific research! Why would they stop advancing in research and development just because of me alone?"
"Right, if you stop, Changsheng Group won’t. Uncle sees this point, but did the person who planned this not see it?"
Ding Lizhong’s heart skipped a beat...
Yes, if it were a competitor’s doing, the target would definitely be Changsheng Group’s overall research.
And as he said, he, Ding Lizhong, did not represent the entirety of Changsheng Group.
Without him, others would follow.
Changsheng Group would operate as usual without any individual.
Therefore, plotting against him would be missing a logical link, a failed strategy.
Would anyone use such a strategy that even the well-informed would know was misguided from the start? Only a fool would!
In other words, Lin Xiaosu’s brief words had refuted the "external competitor conspiracy theory"!
"Are you suggesting... an inside job?" Ding Lizhong said.
"There’s only that possibility!" Lin Xiaosu said: "What they want is not to severely damage Changsheng Group but to eliminate you, the obstacle, and take charge of directing the scientific research of Changsheng Group."
Ding Lizhong pondered: "Our project has two deputies... if they feel I blocked their way, they too would have miscalculated! Because after this incident broke out, the impact was quite bad, and the state is very likely to issue a ban, on the grounds of extreme danger, to prohibit this project altogether."
Lin Xiaosu was slightly shocked: "The state might ban it entirely?"
"Yes, the Biological Chip, our initial positioning was actually medical skills, but in the course of science, there are infinite variables..."
He then went on, giving Lin Xiaosu a real primer on the Biological Chip technology...
The Biological Chip, initially positioned for medical skills.
What was the design principle?
Aimed at cerebral palsy, targeting vegetative patients—those whose bodily functions were intact, but whose brains were damaged. If a Biological Chip was implanted into the brain, connecting the autonomous brain cells, wouldn’t vegetative patients be directly awakened? Wouldn’t cerebral palsy patients return to health? Wouldn’t this project be a great boon to humanity?
Connecting brain cells couldn’t be directly tested on humans and required animal testing.
In this test, they were astonished to find that they could control animals.
Controlling animals was also the opening of a new avenue.
For example, controlling a mutant spider to enter the sewer system to do things humans couldn’t, or making birds soar high in the sky, serving as sentinels for humanity—the applications were very broad in scope.
But then, this issue arose.
Alien Species Spiders, killing people!
Everyone’s sense of security suddenly tightened.
The idea that Bioengineered species with implanted chips could kill, could pets do the same? Panic ensued as potential dangers seemed to lurk everywhere...
Panic accumulated to a certain extent, and the nation became alerted.
This project started to become dangerous.
Faced with dangerous scientific experiments, it was indeed possible for the nation to issue a ban, prohibiting the tests...
"If the ban really happens, what then? Will Biological Control stop?" Lin Xiaosu’s brows also furrowed.
"Once any technology has started, it’s not really possible to completely stop it; it would only shift in a different direction. It’s the same with bioengineering technology."
"For example?" Lin Xiaosu seemed quite interested.
"There are actually two approaches to Biological Control, and there has always been a dispute within Changsheng Group!" Ding Lizhong said, "One approach is the project we previously worked on, implanting a chip internally. This is the biological method. The other is direct connection with external information, which is ’neutrino’ technology."
Lin Xiaosu’s teacup also began to ripple.
His gaze suddenly became infinitely distant.
Ding and his daughter Ruoshui didn’t notice his expression...
Ruoshui asked her father a question, what is neutrino technology? ƒreewebɳovel.com
Ding Lizhong’s answer was very profound...
Neutrino is a very peculiar thing, formless and massless, capable of passing through all physical barriers. In feudal superstitions, "ghosts" could actually be understood as "neutrinos".
Precisely because it has the property of being formless and massless, neutrino communication has great prospects.
Such communication technology applied to Biological Control is like a fish in water. Some creatures fly or burrow deep underground, thousands or even tens of thousands of meters, where ordinary communication technology simply cannot reach, resulting in situations where creatures cannot receive signals. Neutrino technology, ignoring all physical barriers, is precisely the best complementary technology for biological control.
Ruoshui listened with fascination, "This doesn’t sound too bad, why are you strongly against it, Dad?"
"Because this technology is very dangerous, the controlled creatures still retain their own instincts. Neutrino communication can connect to them, but the control is weak. To be exact, it’s more stimulating than restraining for the creatures, so using this technology for biological control, if you give them instructions to attack, they execute them thoroughly. If you give them restraining instructions, they might not listen."
This is biological nature.
This is called animal instinct.
Every animal has its violent side.
And violence conforms more closely to biological nature than restraint does.
Violence is instinct; restraint is rational.
Animals mostly have instincts and lack rationality.
This was exactly the biggest disagreement between Ding Lizhong and the faction leader Huang Chengwang in the dispute over the direction of biological control at Changsheng Group.
Ding Lizhong is the third-largest shareholder.
He is also the Chief Technical Officer of Changsheng Group.
His words carried even more weight. That’s why the direction of Changsheng Group’s Biological Chip became the main path.
Lin Xiaosu’s gaze slowly returned from the distance, connecting with Ruoshui’s. His gaze slid over her face and fell on Ding Lizhong’s, "Uncle, do you know why I asked you to come upstairs?"
Ding Lizhong was slightly startled. Wasn’t coming upstairs to look at the scenery?
Lin Xiaosu said, "Do you know why I kept mentioning that piece of Jade?"
"Why?" Unable to help herself, Ruoshui asked.
"Because the study isn’t safe!" Lin Xiaosu said, "The least safe thing is that piece of Jade!"
Ding Lizhong shuddered violently: "What have you discovered?"
"There is a crevasse in the Jade, and within that crevasse is a surveillance device."
Ding Lizhong’s face changed drastically: "My study, it blocks everything..."
His voice suddenly stopped, as if he thought of something...
Lin Xiaosu smiled faintly, "You just mentioned a new term, neutrino technology! Neutrino technology, ignoring all physical barriers, will inevitably overturn existing shields of the world!"
Ding Lizhong’s face turned pale, and his eyes tightly shut.
The piece of Jade was a gift from Huang Chengwang.
And Huang Chengwang was precisely the lead researcher of neutrino technology.
All high-level executives of Changsheng Group have the safest study rooms, blocking everything.
But neutrino technology can overturn all kinds of shielding.
He and Huang Chengwang were good friends back when they taught at university.
It was Ding Lizhong who personally facilitated Huang Chengwang’s entry into Changsheng Group.
Though they differed in their scientific and technological paths, in private, they were the best of friends...
And what about Ruoshui?
In her mind, she was piecing all of this together...
Her father was targeted, and she called on Lin Xiaosu to investigate...
Facing such a case, she actually didn’t expect to break through so quickly, but he did!
The possibility he proposed, seemingly far-fetched, but upon closer thought, was entirely logical.
With her father at Changsheng Group, the major direction of research, her father had the final say.
But now, her father was inexplicably besmirched and confined to the villa, and his once highly anticipated research project, even if not completely banned, was at least put on indefinite hold.
Changsheng Group couldn’t possibly stop because of one person.
Research had to continue.
But the direction?
Most likely would be adjusted!
Adjusted to "neutrino biological control," which Huang Chengwang had once persistently advocated.
So, Huang Chengwang had motive.
If the Jade "Meditator" in this study truly had surveillance equipment inside, Huang Chengwang suddenly became the prime suspect.
