808: Chapter 83: I was blind.

The originally violent and unstable blue liquid miraculously calmed down the moment it touched the graphene.

It was like a raging beast being gently stroked down its spine.

The liquid's color began to change.

It shifted from deep blue to profound violet, finally becoming transparent like flowing mercury.

The entire laboratory fell silent, with only the sound of the centrifuge slowly coming to a stop.

"mesaichi-7..."

Lin Chi held the beaker, tears streaming down his face without warning.

He succeeded.

But he didn't cheer; instead, he carefully raised the beaker above his head like a child.

The light refracted through the liquid, casting an eerie yet captivating sheen.

Shen Yan stood up and straightened the unwrinkled hem of his suit.

"Let's go witness history."

The door to the observation room opened.

Shen Yan walked into the laboratory, the sound of his leather shoes clearly audible on the floor.

Professor Liang, who had been aggressive moments before, now stared at the cup of liquid with his mouth agape, not even noticing Shen Yan approach him.

"This... How is this possible? How can the molecular bonds reorganize automatically?"

Professor Liang muttered to himself, his worldview collapsing at that moment.

Shen Yan ignored him and walked directly to Lin Chi.

"Is this what you wanted?"

Lin Chi nodded vigorously and handed the beaker to Shen Yan, his hand still trembling slightly.

"It's not just a catalyst, President Shen, it's alive."

"It can achieve superconductivity at room temperature. If we inject it into the chip's cooling system..."

Lin Chi swallowed, his eyes flashing with a manic light.

"The existing computational bottleneck will cease to exist."

"Given enough power, I can make 'Tianshu' evolve ten thousand times in one second."

Shen Yan took the beaker, feeling the icy cold touch.

The system interface in his mind popped up precisely on cue.

[Detected cross-era product: Perfect Grade · mesaichi-7 Fluid.]

[Item Rating: S Grade.]

[Market Valuation: Incalculable.]

[Note: Congratulations, Host, you have grasped the key to unlocking the Artificial Intelligence era.]

Shen Yan's lips curved slightly upward.

The hundreds of millions of US dollars spent these past few days were worth it.

"Guang Ke."

"Here."

"Connect the main frame of 'Tianshu' and clear all background programs."

"Now that the sword is forged, it's time to test its sharpness."

Five minutes later.

In the massive server room, the black mainframe occupying an entire wall began to roar.

This was Rock Technology's most core secret, the piece Shen Yan had been maneuvering for the past six months.

But previously, due to issues with heat dissipation and conduction efficiency, 'Tianshu' had remained dormant.

It was like a master possessing peerless martial arts but whose meridians were blocked.

Lin Chi operated it personally.

He slowly injected the cup of transparent liquid into the Host's circulation system interface.

Everyone held their breath.

The liquid flowed along the transparent pipes, spreading instantly across the entire cooling network like spilled mercury.

The previously red high-temperature alarm light instantly extinguished.

It was replaced by a green indicator light, symbolizing the system operating at full capacity.

The data on the screens began to jump wildly.

Ten percent... Fifty percent... One hundred percent...

Three hundred percent!

"Holy crap..."

Chen Guangke couldn't help but curse.

"Is this thing on steroids? Is this processing speed even from a computer?"

The progress bar on the screen moved so fast it was just a blur.

A large-scale data model deduction that originally required a month to complete now took less than three seconds.

The feeling was akin to someone accustomed to riding a bicycle suddenly boarding an intercontinental missile.

"It's not just speed."

Lin Chi stared intently at the screen, his fingers flying across the keyboard.

"Its logic core is self-evolving."

"It is learning, thinking, and... reshaping."

Suddenly, all the data streams on the screen vanished.

Only a simple cursor remained, blinking against the black background.

Immediately after.

A line of Chinese characters slowly appeared.

"Hello, Creator."

At that moment, everyone in the laboratory got goosebumps.

This was not a preset program.

This was an interaction method never before seen.

Professor Liang plopped onto the floor, not even bothering to pick up his fallen glasses.

He had studied material science his entire life, yet today he witnessed a miracle at the limit of science.

Shen Yan looked at the screen, not losing his composure like the others.

He spoke calmly.

"Hello, Tianshu."

The cursor on the screen flickered once, as if in response.

"Scan the entire network. I want to know the real accounts of the shell companies Mei Jinning currently holds."

Shen Yan issued his first command.

In the past, this would have required a team of hackers to spend days and nights breaking through firewalls.

But now...

After only one second.

Countless Excel sheets, private emails, and transfer records cascaded down like a waterfall, filling the entire large screen.

Even Mei Jinning's consumption list from a private club last night was perfectly clear.

In the face of this absolute computational power, the internet held no secrets.

"This is too terrifying..."

A young researcher nearby turned pale.

"If this thing gets out of control..."

"It won't get out of control."

Shen Yan interrupted him, his voice filled with unquestionable authority.

"Because the one holding the reins is me."

He turned around and looked at Lin Chi, whose face was exhausted but visibly ecstatic.

"What reward do you want?"

Lin Chi paused, seemingly still recovering from the shock.

He scratched his messy hair and smiled somewhat sheepishly.

"I... I want a bowl of beef noodles, with extra cilantro."

Shen Yan laughed.

This time, his smile carried a touch of genuine warmth.

"Guang Ke, go buy it."

"Invite the best noodle master in Jinghai to the company cafeteria. From now on, he will exclusively make noodles for Engineer Lin."

"Got it!"

Chen Guangke agreed, turned, and ran out, his steps noticeably lighter.

He knew that Rock Technology was truly about to take off.

What nonsense shareholders, what Mei family—in the face of 'Tianshu'—they were merely lambs awaiting slaughter.

Shen Yan clapped Lin Chi on the shoulder.

"Go get some sleep. When you wake up, all resources here are yours to command."

"I want you to mass-produce this fluid. Even if it means buying up all the palladium in the world, do it."

Lin Chi nodded heavily.

At this moment, in his eyes, Shen Yan was no longer just a capitalist.

He was a god.

A god who allowed a madman like him to fully realize his talent.

Lin Chi was helped away to rest.

Only Shen Yan and the room full of still-stunned experts remained in the laboratory.

Professor Liang stood up unsteadily, walked to Shen Yan, and bowed his head before the man thirty years his junior.

"President Shen... I was blind."

"That fluid... If you are willing, I can lead my team to assist Engineer Lin with subsequent stability testing."

This was reality.

Strength was always the best way to silence people.
