928: Chapter 923 Only One Chance

"Our new drug research has burned through eight billion. If we can't calculate the stable state of this structure within two weeks, our capital chain will break."

"The previous server needed three months to run this model. We can't wait that long."

Shen Yan looked at the rotating molecular structures on the screen but did not respond directly.

"Lin Dong."

He called out to the intercom hanging on the wall.

"I'm here, Brother Yan. I'm currently monitoring the data access from Aurora. Those guys write code like crap..."

Lin Dong's resentful voice came through the speaker.

"Forget about that for now. Divert the computing power to Huamei Biology's Interface Number One and run the PD-17 molecular model they just uploaded."

"Got it, just a moment... Loading complete... Full power running... Done."

It took less than thirty seconds in total.

"Project the results onto the large screen in the reception room."

The next second, the originally dark screen lit up.

A perfect, extremely complex double helix structure rotated slowly on the screen, with the connection of every chemical bond clearly visible.

Next to it was a line of small green text: [Structure Stability Verification Passed, Minimum Energy Consumption Path Generated.]

Sun Lan's water cup fell to the ground with a 'smack,' shattering into pieces.

She froze there, her mouth open wide enough to fit an egg.

"This... How is this possible..."

"We ran it on our supercomputing cluster for a week and it never converged. You guys... thirty seconds?"

This was the terror of E-class computing power.

It was also the true might of the 'Advanced Artificial Intelligence Algorithm' that Shen Yan possessed.

A calculation volume that was an astronomical figure for ordinary computing power was merely an elementary school math problem in front of pangu.

"Dr. Sun."

Shen Yan's voice pulled her back from her shock.

"I can copy this molecular formula to you right now."

"But I don't want money."

The way Sun Lan looked at Shen Yan now was no longer like looking at a savior, but like looking at a deity.

"What do you want? As long as Huamei can afford it!"

"I want the 'Jinshen' Laboratory to establish a joint research and development center with Huamei Biology."

Shen Yan tapped his fingers lightly on the table.

"Additionally, I want control over Huamei Biology's Jinghai production base."

This was no longer asking for the moon; this was annexation.

But Sun Lan showed no hesitation.

"No problem! I'll call the Chairman right now!"

For someone about to drown, as long as they could survive, they wouldn't hesitate to sell their soul to the devil.

Not to mention, this devil could truly bring them a miracle.

After Sun Lan left, the sky had already darkened.

The snow outside was falling harder, but the number of luxury cars in the power plant's courtyard had not decreased; instead, there were more.

Chen Guangke pushed the door open, holding a thick stack of letters of intent.

"Brother Yan, these people have gone crazy."

"People doing quantitative analysis, meteorological simulation, new materials... Even two film companies specializing in special effects want to leech off our computing power."

"Just now, a coal boss came in carrying two sacks of cash, saying he wanted to mine Bitcoin here, but I had someone escort him out."

Chen Guangke spoke animatedly. The resentment he had bottled up for the past few months had finally been completely vented today.

Before, he had to beg everyone just to get investment, but now these people were lining up to send money.

"Is there any news from Ning Ke?"

Shen Yan asked.

"Yes, there is."

Chen Guangke suppressed his smile and became serious.

"Ning Ke said that the chip giants you asked him to monitor have started to panic."

"Nvidia issued a statement saying they will investigate the source of the GPUs used by pangu, suspecting we bypassed export controls."

"Investigate?"

Shen Yan sneered.

"Let them investigate."

"Those cards were all 'picked up' from the scrap yard. Every single one has a legal scrap certificate."

"The more they jump around now, the more it proves that we're hitting them where it hurts."

Just then, the system interface flashed again.

[Chain Quest Updated.]

[Quest Objective: Utilize the influence of the pangu Supercomputing Center to integrate top resources from at least three industries within one week and establish the 'Shen Yan System' business alliance. (Current Progress: 2/3)]

One more was needed.

Shen Yan's gaze shifted to the middle-aged man in the corner of the reception room, who hadn't spoken, hadn't handed over a business card, but was just sitting there quietly reading a newspaper.

The man wore an inconspicuous gray jacket and a pair of old cloth shoes that were somewhat faded from wear.

However, in the system's view, the label above the man's head was golden.

[Key Figure: Special Commissioner of the North China Bureau of State Grid, Li Jianguo.]

[Today's Intelligence: Due to extreme cold weather, the load on the Jinghai City power grid has reached its limit. If intelligent dispatch optimization is not performed, the entire Jinghai will face large-scale rolling blackouts at 8 PM tonight.]

Shen Yan stood up and adjusted his collar.

He walked past An Ran and Chen Guangke, straight up to the middle-aged man.

"Commissioner Li, the news in the paper is from yesterday. Why not look at the real-time load chart for the Jinghai power grid now?"

Li Jianguo put down the newspaper. A sharp glint flashed in his seemingly cloudy eyes.

"Boss Shen knows me?"

"I don't know you, but I know what you're worried about."

Shen Yan pointed to the brightly lit Jinghai outside the window.

"The evening peak will arrive in two hours."

"If my calculations are correct, based on the current dispatch strategy, the substation in the East District will trip at 7:45."

Li Jianguo's expression finally changed.

This was an internal, top-secret warning from the State Grid. How could this young man possibly know?

"What do you want to say?"

Li Jianguo put away the pretense of a retired cadre, emanating the pressure of a high-ranking official.

Shen Yan was completely unfazed, just looking at him calmly.

"Give pangu the dispatch data interface for the Jinghai power grid."

"Give me ten minutes, and I'll give you a new intelligent dispatch plan."

"It won't just save you from blackouts tonight; it will also help you save 15% on line loss every year."

Li Jianguo stared at Shen Yan for a full ten seconds.

"Young man, don't speak too boldly. That concerns the livelihood of millions of people. If something goes wrong, you can't bear the responsibility."

"I will use the Shenyan Group as collateral,"

Shen Yan replied decisively.

"If the East District substation trips at 7:45, the pangu Supercomputing Center will be donated to the state free of charge."

The reception room instantly became so quiet that even breathing could be heard.

An Ran frantically signaled Shen Yan from the side; her eyelid was twitching uncontrollably.

That was the treasure they had just spent billions to build!

Li Jianguo remained silent for a long time, finally slowly taking out his mobile phone.

"I have the authority to open a temporary interface for you, but you only get one chance."

"Lin Dong!"

Shen Yan didn't even need to turn his head.

"Understood! Grid data connected... Constructing urban energy topology model..."
