Hearing Xiang Kun mentioning "Shenxing Technology", Zhang Hongpu raised his hand to touch his eyebrows and nodded, "Shenxing Technology has indeed cultivated deeply in some fields and is very successful."

However, he paused slightly, his voice changed, and then said: "But in my opinion, there are still many domestic technology companies that do better than'Shenxing Technology'."

Having said that, I will give examples of several domestic technology companies of the same size, all of which are specialized in a certain field and are also not well known to the public.

Xiang Kun said: "But I think'Shenxing Technology' is different. They have the courage to be the first in the world and don't care about the gains and losses of the moment. Any technology company, to a certain extent, should have such a courage. "

Zhang Hongpu smiled and said: "But there is still a big difference between your company and "Shenxing Technology" in the business area. What you mainly do is still Internet products."

Xiang Kun said: "In fact, Mr. Zhang and I have been talking in the past two days, and it is likely that we will also start to get involved in the hardware field in the future.

"Oh?" Zhang Hongpu looked at his granddaughter.

Zhang Qian replied: "Mr. Xiang might be talking about VR-related equipment and other terminal information collection and recording equipment, but it is still only about direction selection."

Under normal circumstances, when talking about this, Xiang Kun should naturally talk about the technology they mentioned, future development, or other topics, leaving aside "Shenxing Technology."

However, Xiang Kun has not yet found out the information he wants on this topic, so he will naturally not give up, seemingly to follow up naturally: "As far as I know, VR technology is currently in a perfect layout, except for the United States. , There is also the domestic "Shenxing Technology". Their layout is different from Oculus, which must be acquired, but they also have their own core technology. I am very optimistic. If we want to save time and cost, we can actually consider Cooperate with them."

As soon as he said this, he seemed to have stepped on Zhang Hongpu's inverted scales. He sat up slightly, with his hands folded on his chest, as if he was thinking.

And Zhang Qian hurriedly said: "Mr. Xiang, our VR social idea is still at the level of conceptual research. There is no need to study hardware implementation so quickly. Besides, we can fully focus on the specific application development level. On the hardware and the terminal, it is enough to adapt. There is no need to get involved in these thankless areas. In terms of our size, it is too late."

Of course Xiang Kun knows that Zhang Qian is deliberately pulling him out of the "pit", not to touch her grandfather's inverse scales, but he is well-measured and can clearly grasp Zhang Hongpu's current state, knowing what kind of test should be done The scale and rhythm are carried out without worry.

"It’s because our size is too small. It’s too late to enter, so we have to find a mature company to cooperate. We have to die by ourselves as a social company. It is an old and beautiful company. It must not be very good to cooperate with. Cooperation is almost the best choice." Xiang Kun said.

Zhang Hongpu spoke: "Mr. Xiang, what do you think is the most important thing for a technology company?"

"Science and technology companies, the most important thing is technology." Xiang Kun said naturally.

Next, Zhang Hongpu did not talk about "Shen Xing Technology", but told a few stories, including those during the Western Industrial Revolution, as well as those from the early 20th century, the 70s and 80s, and even after the 21st century. There are domestic and foreign ones.

Generally speaking, it is expressing a point of view that science and technology itself has no attributes of good and evil, but those who apply it do have; even for research, there must be a bottom line, otherwise, whether it is for yourself or others, It is still irresponsible to the entire human race.

It can be seen that this is Zhang Hongpu expressing his ideas and trying to influence Xiang Kun.

But Xiang Kun keenly captured some elements from these contents:

The reason why Zhang Hongpu hates "Shenxing Technology" is most likely because he believes that "Shenxing Technology" has done some research that he thinks is "beyond the bottom line".

Of course, Zhang Hongpu did not say that. Even when he told those stories, he did not mention the word Shenxing Technology once. After that, the topic did not rely on “Shenxing Technology”, and Xiang Kun could not directly. Asked, I would certainly not get any answers.

But he can already be sure that Zhang Hongpu does know some inside information.

According to the documents that Xiang Kun has read, neither when Academician Shen was in charge of the research plan alone in the early days or when Mr. Liang took over, there was no excessive and anti-human research, or in other words, in the so-called "mysterious force". Under the threat of the "ultimate predator", they can't do too complicated experiments.

Of course, it does not rule out that there are some things "beyond the bottom line" in the part of the document that Xiang Kun has not seen, or the experiment that has not been recorded in the document.

However, according to Xiang Kun’s speculation, it is more likely that Zhang Hongpu made a misjudgment of some information.

Xiang Kun decided to take a look at this memory of Lao Xia's "Dream in Dream" at night.

Because of the presence of Alice, Xiang Kun doesn’t need to secretly place a super-connected object such as a ball on Zhang Hongpu’s body for positioning, as before. After Zhang Hongpu arrives at the place to rest, Alice will naturally be able to Send him the location, whether it's a mobile phone or a car's GPS, it can help locate.

At that time, Xiang Kun only needs to bring the black circle graffiti love objects that he has established with Lao Xia before, and place them close enough to Zhang Hongpu's sleeping place.

At midnight, Xiang Kun, who emerged from a villa area over the wall, did not go directly to the hotel, but found a secluded place to sit down, ready to directly trigger Lao Xia’s dream to launch "Dream in Dream"—— He has been notified by Alice. Half an hour ago, Lao Xia arranged the "Bell Apple" combination to wash and go to bed. Now she has gone to sleep and is ready.

Xia Libing is already quite familiar with the exploration of people’s memory information in "Dreams in Dreams" and the guidance of specific thinking directions. Soon Zhang Hongpu’s dreams showed why he would like "Shenxing Technology". "There is so much disgust.

It turned out that many years ago, the son of an old friend of Zhang Hongpu took the female companion he had just met home, but in the middle of the night, he was invaded into the house by a monster with swollen body, dark brown skin, and dense weird patterns. The female companion was killed and taken away.

Zhang Hongpu’s old friend’s son was terrified. After calling the police, the police could not find any DNA tissue left by humans in his home. Some of the broken clothes found on the scene could not extract any useful information except his DNA. There is no trace left by the so-called "huge monster".

Moreover, there was no sign of forcibly breaking into his residence. The surveillance of the community just broke down, but some nearby cameras did not capture any abnormalities.

But Zhang Hongpu was entrusted by his old friend and used some relationships, but he found out some of the secrets of this matter. It was not that the son of the old friend had hysteria, but that an ugly monster that looked like a human and inhuman entered the old friend in a truck. Where the son of the son lives.

He also found that after the truck had left, it entered a property owned by "Shenxing Technology" Lu Chengan.

Just when he wanted to conduct further investigations, an official person found him and told him not to investigate the matter again. The matter was an “internal incident” and an “internal investigation” would be carried out, and no ordinary citizens were subjected to it. Substantial harm, do not expand the impact.

He could only give up investigation and investigation, but through some early information from other sources, he had a faint guess that the monster was probably Lu Chengan's paralyzed son.

So he took it for granted that Lu Cheng’an, Lu Cheng’an’s son, and even certain official institutions were conducting certain “beyond the bottom line” research and experiments, and even the monsters were killed and taken away without any information. , As if the woman who had never existed was to protect those monster sons who studied and protected Lu Chengan, all traces were erased.

Judging from the information displayed in Zhang Hongpu's dream, if that night attacked the mansion of his old friend's son, the monster who attacked and killed his female partner was Mr. Liang, and the female partner was likely to be another "humanoid mutant creature".

Although Zhang Hongpu was not a direct witness, the image of Mr. Liang he showed in his dreams would be very different from reality, but by comparing with the previous secret documents, it can be inferred that Mr. Liang started to clarify the new direction of mutation. The body began to break through the human form until it gained the invisibility ability.

If it were now, Mr. Liang wanted to hunt down a "humanoid mutant creature", it would not cause such a big movement at all, and there would be no witnesses—because it would never be seen.

However, according to Xiang Kun's interpretation of those secret documents, whether it is Academician Shen or Mr. Liang, they will not use such a direct, violent, or even somewhat reckless way to deal with the newly discovered "mutant creatures". This processing method is not conventional.

It seems that Mr. Liang is more out of control and emotional.

He faintly guessed about this matter, and he might be able to verify it later.

Suddenly, the dream collapsed, and Lao Xia escaped from the "dream in a dream" and seemed to wake up directly.

Xiang Kun opened his eyes in a dark corner outside the villa area and was a little stunned. Although Zhang Hongpu’s dreams have already clarified the reason why he dislikes "Shen Xing Technology", their purpose this time is to explore the news, so generally Lao Xia will still have an operation to erase her dream memory, but this time she has omitted it directly?

After being surprised, Xiang Kun, through the feedback of the "Super-Sense Object System", suddenly realized what had happened-something went wrong in Chongyun Village.

...

Tongshi Town.

Earlier, when Xiang Kun, Tang Baona and others were talking with Zhang Hongpu over dinner, Xia Tianhuo was drinking tea with Chu Xiuwen in a newly opened tea shop on a pedestrian street.

For dinner, the two of them, Chu Xiaoting and Zicheng ate at the "Youlong Restaurant". After eating, the couple ran to other places to play. Naturally, Xia Tianhuo was embarrassed to go to make light bulbs and went with Chu Xiuwen. Drink tea next to.

"Mr. Xia, how long do you plan to live in Tongshi Town and Chongyun Village?" Chu Xiuwen filled the cup in front of Xia Tianhuo with tea, and asked with a smile.

"It’s really comfortable to live here. I feel like I really can’t live without the rabbit meat of the'Youlong Hotel’. In Chongyun Village, I don’t know if it’s the climate, environment, oxygen content or magnetic field. I just feel that living there is very comfortable and very at ease. Alas, I think I might also be doing something in Tongshi Town or Chongyun Village Zhiling when I look back, and I can't say I have to take care of Brother Chu! "Xia Tianhuo said with a smile.

He said this sincerely. During the period after returning from Burma, the few days he lived in Chongyun Village made him sleep at ease.

However, when Professor Li Yang was still there, he usually chatted with Professor Li. After Professor Li left, Xiangkun and Yang Zhener would not be bored with him.But now Xiang Kun, Yang Zhen'er, and Tang Baona are no longer there. In the building where they lived in Chongyun Village, apart from him, there were only Lao Xia with two children, Little Bell and Little Apple, oh, plus a cat, A bird.

Although he is Lao Xia's cousin, but to be honest, in front of Lao Xia, he always feels that he is a younger generation.So together with Xiao Ling Dang and Xiao Apple, when facing Lao Xia, he always felt that he had also become a child and was carried by Lao Xia. It was strange...

And he also found that when he was there, Xiao Ling and Xiao Apple often leaned aside and whispered. He actually felt "excluded" and was even more awkward...

Therefore, during the few days when Xiang Kun and Tang Baona left, he basically played in Tongshi Town and Zicheng during the day. Sometimes he went to sleep at night, and sometimes he opened a room in the town to sleep if it was too late.

To be honest, he sometimes finds it strange. Obviously he is related to Lao Xia and Yang Zhen'er, but inexplicably think Lao Xia, Yang Zhen'er, Xiang Kun, Xiao Ling Dang and Xiao Apple look at them. It looks more like a family, as if they are very familiar with each other, and there is a tacit understanding and trust that is difficult to describe, and it is difficult for other people to intervene.

Chu Xiuwen smiled and said: "Mr. Xia is willing to invest in Tongshi Town. As Tongshi Town people, we must welcome us with both hands. But what Mr. Xia used to do at home seems to be a large-scale raw material trade? In this regard, Tongshi The town probably has no market."

"What I did in Tongshi Town is definitely not my family's business. I was wondering whether I should also build a farm in Chongyun Village. There are so many new restaurants in the town. I estimate that the demand for fresh ingredients should be met by then. Quite high. But later I looked at the farms under construction and learned some information. I guess it was not suitable, so I wondered if I should open a franchise chain restaurant in the town. If you have something to do, you won't be purely idle and will be picked up by your family at that time." Xia Tianhuo said half-jokingly.

"That's good. If you have an idea, you can talk to me. Don't tell me what else is the best place to open in Tongshi Town, where are the shops whose leases are about to expire, and where are the shops with higher cost performance. I know all these things better." Chu Xiuwen said with a smile.

The two chatted, and the topic naturally came to Qi Haoguo who was eating together two days ago.

"I heard that President Qi... was arrested?" Xia Tianhuo asked with some confusion.

Chu Xiuwen nodded: "To be precise, he surrendered. Hey, his matter is more complicated, and he will be confused for a while, or...I actually don't understand very well. But now it seems that he told the police. Many things, according to the charges, may not be as serious as he thought. In addition, after so many years, he has voluntarily surrendered. It is estimated that the sentence will not be too serious. Alas, I really don’t understand his thoughts, but To be sure, he himself is quite calm about this."

Xia Tianhuo also nodded: "I feel the same way. Mr. Qi gave me a feeling of...how to say, I understand it."

The two chatted at the tea break until ten o'clock, and went to eat supper together, only then did Chu Xiuwen carry Xia Tianhuo back to Chongyun Village.

As soon as he got in the car, he received a call. It was a "reporter" who had interviewed him in Myanmar before. He wanted to talk to him about being kidnapped in Myanmar and asked him if it was inconvenient.

Xia Tianhuo originally wanted to refuse, but the "reporter" mentioned some information about Montamira's vision that they recently investigated, which immediately aroused his curiosity, so he reported to Tongshi Town "You "Long Hotel" location, let them come to him.

In fact, he originally came to Tongshi Town and came to Chongyun Village to find answers from Lao Xia, to see if Lao Xia knew the truth about his rescue, and what some existence he had vaguely perceived.

But after coming here, he found that he couldn't get an answer from Lao Xia at all, but he couldn't be completely sure that Lao Xia had nothing to do with this matter, so he was stuck here.

Fortunately, it was quite comfortable to live here. Before he knew it, he almost forgot why he came here.

"Is there a reporter who wants to interview Myanmar?" Chu Xiuwen, who was driving, asked smoothly when he saw Xia Tianhuo hang up.

"Yes, I have interviewed me once in Myanmar, but I always feel that the two are not like serious reporters." Xia Tianhuo shook his head and said.

"Mr. Xia still has a good mentality. If I encountered something, I guess there will be a psychological shadow when talking about it now." Chu Xiuwen sighed.

"In fact, it's not that exaggerated. It didn't take long in total. Before I had time to be afraid, it was over." Xia Tianhuo joked.

As they were talking, when their car drove onto the newly built village road, there was a sudden power outage. Even the newly installed street lights on the roadside were all extinguished, and the whole village was plunged into darkness.

Xia Tianhuo was surprised to observe the sky through the windshield: "What's the matter? Why is the moonlight blocked? The sky was pretty good when we had supper just now, and we could still see the stars and moon. After a while, why does it seem like it is going to rain heavily?"

In the darkness, the light formed by the two high beams in front of their car seemed to have taken them abruptly into another world, which was quite strange.

The wind also grew stronger, the car lights were shining on the road ahead, fallen leaves and other garbage were blown by, and in the distant mountains, there seemed to be weird screams.
