Rebirth: All Patents, Cutting off the European and American Tech Tree

#278 - Chapter 278: Construction of an Underground Research Institute! Two horses arrive at the same

Day one.

The stock price plummeted from $18.25 to $6.77.

Day two.

The smiling face bomb is still unresolved.

It plummeted to $4.03!

Will it continue to fall?

Will there be a rebound in the middle?

Chen Hao wasn't sure.

Last year, he shorted internet technology stocks, supported by his memories from his previous life.

He knew the approximate range of the decline and roughly how many days it would last.

This time is different!

In his previous life, Microsoft didn't experience this crash; he orchestrated it himself, leading to numerous uncontrollable risks.

This time, shorting Microsoft also involved leverage.

Once the stock price rebounds midway, there's a risk of being liquidated at any time.

"Close the position."

He didn't understand the stock market and acted entirely on instructions.

"Brother Zhao, once your work there is finished, return to China as soon as possible," Chen Hao instructed.

"Okay, I understand."

The call ended.

Wrapping up will take some time; it might not be finished until tomorrow.

Of course, there's still time.

It's 11 a.m. in New York.

It's dawn in Shanghai.

Chen Hao glanced at the technical data for the Type 055 destroyer on his computer and yawned.

Last time.

The information given to Pan Jingfu only included some core technologies.

It was less than one-tenth of the entire warship.

Brain-computer interface research and development is necessary.

But it can't be completed in a short time.

The technical data for the Type 055 destroyer can't be neglected either.

Seeing that it was already dawn, he was about to go to sleep when a text message arrived: 'Chairman Chen, the goods have been delivered.'

It's here?!

He immediately perked up.

He tiptoed out of the study.

Headed straight to the bathroom.

He splashed cold water on his face, looked at the staircase leading to the second floor, and quietly left the residence.

Fifteen minutes later, he walked into that small building.

The first floor had been cleared out, filled with wooden crates, and Lu Qingshan was waiting for him.

"Brother Lu, thank you for your hard work!" Chen Hao said excitedly.

"It's nothing."

"Eat something first."

Chen Hao conjured up a plastic bag.

It contained cake and mineral water.

Lu Qingshan was stunned.

He nodded and took it, devouring it ravenously to the side.

Whether it was digging the basement or bringing the equipment tonight, it had to be done at night—he was really hungry.

Creak!

Chen Hao used a crowbar to pry open the wooden crates.

Behold!

It was an extremely complex and precise instrument that ordinary people wouldn't recognize!

Brain-computer interfaces cover multiple fields.

Computer technology.

AI technology.

Brain science.

Neuroscience, etc.

The equipment required for research and development also spans different fields.

In fact, some equipment can't be bought because it doesn't exist anywhere in the world, and it can only be created by hand.

What was bought included not only finished equipment but also various parts and components.

Lu Qingshan finished eating, and Chen Hao also pried open all the wooden crates one after another.

Next.

He started moving the equipment and components.

He kept moving until after 3 a.m.

After moving everything to the basement, Chen Hao told Lu Qingshan to go back first.

Then.

He started assembling the equipment.

Not the equipment used for research and development, but a series of verification equipment.

Password!

Fingerprint!

Iris scan!

Entry is only allowed after meeting all verifications.

Otherwise…

The only option is to violently destroy the entrance.

And not just the entrance?

Later, he will also have to spend time installing special sensor devices in every area of the basement.

Any area that is violently damaged will trigger a self-destruct device.

The self-destruct explosive is…

A pentazolate anion salt bomb!

Not only will the laboratory be reduced to ashes, but this entire area will be turned into ruins—the intruders will also be reduced to dust!

"Damn… I'm exhausted!"

He kept busy until dawn.

The verification equipment was mostly completed, but the mechanisms could only be set up tomorrow.

He headed straight home.

His wife would be waking up soon, right?

Before he could return to the small courtyard, before he could bring his wife breakfast, and before he could get a good night's sleep, his phone suddenly rang.

"Chen Hao!"

It was his sister-in-law, and her tone was urgent: "Come to the company right away!"

"What happened?" Chen Hao asked quickly.

"It was originally good news, but now… it seems to be bad news!"

Xia Qingyan smiled wryly: "Come over and I'll tell you."

Good news?

That turned into bad news?

What does that mean?

"Chen Hao?"

As he hung up the phone, the door of the small courtyard opened.

Xia Qingmo was about to go to class.

"Qingmo!"

Chen Hao greeted her with a smile, handing her the breakfast that Shi Dali had bought: "Eat breakfast."

"You…"

The girl looked at him and stammered: "Didn't you sleep?"

Her boyfriend's eyes were bloodshot.

"I…" Chen Hao wondered how he should explain.

"I'm going to class."

Before he could explain, the girl smiled softly: "You should go to sleep."

Was she forcing him to lie?

Or did she not need an explanation?

She had already made her decision.

Unfortunately.

Chen Hao didn't have time to sleep!

…

Hanteng Capital.

Several people were sitting in the conference room.

Ma Teng.

Ma Yun.

The two Mas had traveled from Shenzhen and Hangzhou, respectively.

Xia Qingyan was also there.

There were also two other people.

Qiu Zhengfeng, the director of Chuangshiji's R\u0026D department.

Sun Hongxing, the director of Shenzhou Automobile's technology department.

They didn't come together.

The two Mas had contacted her some days ago, but Xia Qingyan had turned them away. Sun Hongxing had only come today, and as for Qiu Zhengfeng… he had contacted Xia Qingyan the earliest, but he had also been temporarily turned away.

Until today.

With so many people looking for Chen Hao, she couldn't keep turning them away, right?

Helpless!

She could only bring everyone together.

"Sister Xia!"

A knock on the door sounded.

The next moment, Deng Xiaoyan walked in.

He and Chen Hao were brothers.

Chen Hao called Li Ju 'Aunt,' and he followed suit.

Chen Hao called Xia Qingyan 'Sister Xia,' and he naturally had to follow suit as well.

The difference was.

Chen Hao's address changed depending on the occasion.

For example, today, Chen Hao would use her title, but Deng Xiaoyan didn't care about that—he would call her the same thing, no matter where he was.

To put it nicely, he was honest and straightforward; to put it bluntly, his EQ was lacking.

"Why are you here?" Xia Qingyan asked in surprise.

"Don't even mention it!"

Deng Xiaoyan found a chair and sat down, his face full of displeasure: "Haozi isn't answering his phone, so I had to come find you, Sister Xia."

"He wouldn't answer your phone?" Xia Qingyan didn't believe it.

She knew that in Chen Hao's heart, Deng Xiaoyan was far from an ordinary friend.

He was the kind of person he would chase after to feed.

"Because he scolded me!"

Just then.

Chen Hao came in with a sullen face, glaring fiercely at Deng Xiaoyan.

"When did I scold you?!"

Deng Xiaoyan was furious.

He thought, don't you often scold your godfather, me?

"We'll talk about it later."

Chen Hao was too lazy to argue; this wasn't the right occasion: "Two Ma CEOs, what can I do for you?"

"There's good news and bad news; which does Chairman Chen want to hear first?" Ma Yun chuckled.

"Putting on airs!"

Ma Teng curled his lips and said to Chen Hao: "Chairman Chen! After this round of burning money, the number of users has greatly increased, but… there's very little money left."

"According to the agreement, Hanteng Capital has priority if further financing is needed."

Chen Hao not only gave them investment.

He also provided the two Mas with development plans.

For example, Ma Teng's QQ Group only had chat features in its previous life.

What about now?

QQ Games.

QQ Farm.

QQ Space, etc.

In short.

The speed of project expansion far exceeded his previous life.

In addition to the crazy burning of money, the speed of QQ user growth far exceeded his previous life.

However, the money was also being burned much faster.

The situation on Ma Yun's side was similar.
