312 Knowledge Exchange, Destruction of Sunset
After Lin Tian and Li Chengqian finished their discussion, very quickly, the top virologists, doctors, nurses, and researchers in the country came to Li Chengqian's biological laboratory.
Li Chengqian was glad to have help. He handed the tedious vaccine testing work to the team leader, Wang Jiang.
Wang Jiang took his new role very seriously, the way newcomers were eager to make their presence felt. Moreover, the asphyxiation virus vaccine was very important. He quickly began the testing work.
Li Chengqian searched the Professions mall after he got back to his office.
"Kinetic energy weapons and laser arms!" These two were powerful weapons that could be manufactured within a year.
"The ability to manage planetary resources!"
If he wanted to mobilize all kinds of resources in an extremely short period of time and carry out arms production, he needed the ability to manage efficiently. The current national system clearly could not meet this requirement.
"The Star Radar Detection System provides the ability to detect one's enemies."
"An efficient energy system is also needed to support the use of the various arms systems."
The ability to discover the enemy's abilities was the most important. If one couldn't discover the enemy, it would be useless even if the arms were powerful.
Li Chengqian selected a batch of usable technologies and professions in the Professions mall.
Kinetic weapon research (from electromagnetic rifle to light speed cannon) required 18 billion experience value points.
An introduction to the research of super laser weapons and stellar cannons required 20 billion experience value points. It contains technical information ranging from the most basic laser guns to laser stellar cannons.
The guidelines for the construction of the 18th generation controlled artificial solar system required 8 billion experience value points. This was a mature controlled nuclear fusion system. As long as a fusion power station was built, it could satisfy the power needs of the world.
The planetary-level powerful artificial intelligence management system required 5 billion experience value points.
It could monitor the status of one billion people and control five billion robots at the same time. At the same time, it was a super intelligent system that could process trillions of information. Its computing ability was extremely strong. As long as a target was set in the system, it could drive the power of the entire planet to complete the target.
The construction specifications for the quantum radar detection system in the galaxy required 35 billion EXP experience value points. The quantum radar system could monitor the entire solar system, and would detect anything as soon as it appeared at the edge of the solar system and would send an early warning.
Based on normal technology development patterns, the technologies that Li Chengqian chose might take hundreds or thousands of years to be developed.
There were many technologies in the Professions mall that were more advanced than these. However, with Earth's current productivity, even if he had bought these related technologies, he wouldn't have been able to produce them.
Just like the technology to produce chips for the primitives, it was impossible for the primitives to produce them. It was useless even if they were given to them.
The technologies that Li Chengqian had chosen were limited by Earth's current productivity, technologies that could be produced with Earth's productivity.
After choosing the technologies he wanted to exchange for, Li Chengqian turned to look at his personal interface. Li Chengqian frowned when he saw the experience value points he had, they were still quite lacking.
"I only have 31.5 billion experience value points. It's impossible to do it in one go."
"The artificial solar system is the foundation of everything. The production and use of other arms can only happen when there is sufficient energy supply. I have to acquire this first and build on it."
Li Chengqian chose to exchange his points for this. The experience value points on his personal interface was reduced by 8 billion points, leaving only 23.5 billion points.
"I will absorb all the knowledge at one go! I won't absorb this knowledge for the time being." Li Chengqian muttered in his heart.
Li Chengqian had only just discovered this function not long ago. When exchanging for many technologies at once, he could opt to absorb all the knowledge at one go, after he has acquired all the technologies.
"The planetary-level strong AI Management System must be acquired. If we build the nuclear fusion power station without increasing productivity, it might take decades to complete!" The planetary-level strong AI Management System was also a necessary knowledge for Li Chengqian. With the help of this System, he only needed to give the order, and the System would mobilize all the resources that could be mobilized to complete Li Chengqian's order in the shortest time possible.
"Leave the construction of the fusion power station to Lin Tian!"
"He can be given secondary rights to the planetary-level strong AI Management System."
The construction of the fusion power plant requires the power of the country. Li Chengqian alone was not enough. Hundreds of thousands of people, or perhaps, even millions of people need to work hard to achieve this, and countless industries need to be involved too.
The best option is for the state to drive this project.
"Once the planetary-level strong AI Management System is activated, a lot of people will be affected. A powerful force is required to push it through, and even more so, a powerful force is needed to guarantee the widespread implementation of the System." Li Chengqian narrowed his eyes. With this System, other than a very small number of decision makers, everyone else would become staff. Everyone's mission would be assigned by the System. This was a necessary way to increase efficiency.
Many people's territory would be encroached on. Many people would lose their rights and privileges.
Severing someone's authority was akin to killing someone's parents, or removing someone's lifeblood. Bad things might happen.
Therefore, he had to have powerful arms to guarantee the implementation of the planetary-level strong AI Management System.
"Kinetic energy weapons! Combat robots." This was the guarantee Li Chengqian would give to Lin Tian.
"Exchange for kinetic energy weapons research (from electromagnetic rifles to light speed cannons)!"
Immediately, Li Chengqian only had 500 million experience value points left on his personal interface.
Then, Li Chengqian lay down on the bed. He put on the upgraded brainwave receiver on his head and found a comfortable position to lie down.
He muttered in his heart, "Absorb knowledge."
Immediately, a large amount of knowledge appeared out of thin air in Li Chengqian's memory.
Fortunately, Li Chengqian's body was unbelievably strong because he had consumed a rare treasure.
Otherwise, his head might explode from the vast amount of knowledge.
…
While Li Chengqian absorbed the knowledge, there was a massive outbreak of asphyxiation virus in Sunset.
Zombies infected by the asphyxiation virus appeared in all states, and in an extremely short period of time, the number of infected people increased exponentially.
No one dared to get close to the zombies. It was useless even if they got close and killed the zombies, because as long as they got close, they would be infected and die from the asphyxiation virus.
The management system in Sunset completely collapsed. Along with it, law and order collapsed.
The rich and powerful had already evacuated from Sunset.
The people of the Sunset were merely production tools of the tycoons and leaders. They were instantly abandoned.
Very quickly, there was severe disruption of essential services, leaving the affected population without access to basic necessities such as water, electricity, food, and internet."
Those who stayed in their homeland went crazy from despair.
The dark side of human nature is revealed at this moment, with looting, killings and shootings. Women and children were trampled on, and they wailed in the midst of chaos.
Everyday in Sunset, more people died at the hands of their own kind than at the hands of the asphyxiation virus.
What happened in Sunset went viral on the internet. Everyone felt a chill run down their spines.
The countries that initially took in tycoons and leaders from Sunset stopped doing so after seeing these scenes on the internet.
In the past, with Sunset as their backer, no one dared to disrespect them. But now, Sunset had already collapsed under the attack of the asphyxiation virus.
Without Sunset as their backer, these rich people and executives who used to show off were nothing.
Black Country and Sunset bordered each other.
In the past, Sunset had built an astonishingly long wall at the border in order to prevent the people of Black Country from entering.
The world's largest quarantine net had been erected on the wall.
The only entrances through the wall were the three doors that had been specially left open.
The doors were usually heavily guarded on Sunset's side. They would gun down anyone who tried to enter Sunset.
At this moment, in front of the largest gate in the wall, a world-famous tycoon from Sunset looked at the closed gate in front of him and said to the soldiers from Black Country who were on sentry duty, "I made a deal with your Prime Minister. He promised to let me enter the country. Please open the door."
The soldiers of Black Country were 200 meters away from the door. They were wearing sealed protective suits and their sniper rifles were aimed at the door.
"People of Sunset, go back. You're not allowed to enter!" The soldier's voice was cold and rough.
"F*ck, I invested 300 million Sunset dollars in your country. Your Prime Minister promised to let me enter the country!"
Seeing that the soldier was still unmoved, the tycoon frowned and cursed.
"You idiots, open the door and let me through."
BANG!
The Sunset tycoon's head exploded like a watermelon.
A shot was fired. The soldier on the sentry duty had a cold expression on his face. He cursed with his companion, "Sunset has already destroyed our country, yet they still dare to curse at us. I wonder who gave them the courage to curse at me. They have a death wish!"
"Alright, cheer up and be more vigilant. According to the instructions from above, no one from Sunset is allowed to enter Black Country!"
"Kill all those who want to enter our country!"
"An asphyxiation virus pandemic has erupted in their country. This virus is incurable. We can't let the Sunset people transmit the virus to our country."
"We have to fight for our families!"
