225: Chapter 225 Biology Level 4!
The configuration work for the server room was finally all finished.
Looking at the matrix of low-level code constantly flickering on the control terminal, Zhao Yang had a premonition: if his Informatics was to break through to LV6, the opportunity would likely lie within Shin-chan's low-level code.
After handling all the network configurations and security blocking protocols for the server room, Zhao Yang didn't stay long in this chilly basement filled with the roar of powerful fans.
He wouldn't be coming to this room much in the future.
Although Shin-chan's physical body was locked inside these cold server cabinets, it could now assist him online anytime and anywhere through complex encrypted network tunnels.
Supported by massive hardware computing power, the current Shin-chan could be considered a ghost living in the bottom layers of the network.
Furthermore, it now possessed autonomous logical judgment capabilities. As long as there was network signal coverage, Zhao Yang could issue voice or text commands to Shin-chan via his phone or the laptop he carried, obtaining highly efficient data feedback.
It was extremely convenient.
Returning to the first floor, Zhao Yang slammed and locked the heavy security door before walking out of the Jinxiu Tsinghua neighborhood.
Primary artificial intelligence...
Walking on the road back to school, watching the early summer sunlight filter through the leaves and scatter onto the pavement, Zhao Yang's eyes were full of emotion.
In fact, with his current brainpower and Informatics reserves, if he really wanted to manually craft a low-level framework similar to the Large Language Models (LLM) of later generations at the code level, the difficulty wouldn't actually be that high.
But the most fatal practical problem was that there was simply no need for it at this stage. Earth's current hardware manufacturing level was completely unable to support the real-time operation of a model of that scale.
The foundation of artificial intelligence is computing power, and the core of computing power is high-process silicon-based chips. The fatal weakness in chip manufacturing is the EUV Extreme Ultraviolet lithography machine.
This thing involves the limits of an entire basic industrial system, including top-tier Zeiss optical lenses, ultra-precision mechanical processing, extremely high-purity light sources, and complex fluid mechanics.
It is a collection of the industrial crystallization of a country or even multiple developed nations; it's simply not something that can be achieved by individual ability alone—it is the result of systematization.
Thinking of this, a hint of a sigh flashed in Zhao Yang's eyes.
The road was still long if he wanted to break this kind of industrial technology blockade.
It would be very, very difficult.
However, now that he had Shin-chan as a powerful, tireless assistant, some of the extremely tedious plans he had previously envisioned in his mind finally had the conditions to be implemented!
For example, establishing a tech-pharmaceutical company absolutely under his control.
If he could use modern high-precision chemical analysis instruments to perform reverse engineering on the ker brand stimulant and resolve its core effective molecular formula...
Even if he could only synthesize a castrated, low-spec substitute due to process constraints, listing it as the company's first flagship product would still be a massive, inexhaustible gold mine.
Of course, for a Shin-chan drug to go from laboratory project initiation, animal testing, Phase I to III clinical trials, to finally obtaining the marketing approval from the Drug Administration, it required an extremely long time cycle.
It wasn't realistic to expect to make quick money from this in the short term, but this legal commercial shell had to be set up first to provide compliant cover for future capital flows and technical reserves.
In addition, the research and development process for reverse-engineering the energy potion also needed to be put on the agenda.
Shin-chan's ability to process massive amounts of data was terrifying. In chemical analysis, those tedious mass spectrometry peak comparisons, nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum interpretations, and lengthy experimental step coordination could be completely packaged and handed over to it for arrangement.
Thinking of this, Zhao Yang's executive power was instantly maxed out.
Back at the dormitory, he immediately opened his computer and found one of the most professional corporate agencies in Yanjing. He threw some money at them for an expedited fee, and in just a few days, he quickly finished the industrial and commercial processes and registered a physical company named Spark Biotechnology.
Although the company was registered and all the licenses and corporate accounts were ready, Zhao Yang had no intention of posting any recruitment notices online.
He didn't plan on hiring anyone—at least for now, he wasn't prepared to recruit any human employees.
After registering the company, Zhao Yang began using the name of Dimension Biotechnology to contact Gu Jinghuan again. Through Boss Gu's medical device import channel, Zhao Yang purchased a large amount of the top biochemical experimental equipment currently on the market.
The procurement list was extremely long, including Agilent's ultra-high-performance liquid chromatographs, high-precision mass spectrometers, automated nucleic acid extraction stations...
In addition, at the end of the order, Zhao Yang specifically added a large sum of money to order three sets of six-axis industrial automation robotic arms from an automation equipment manufacturer, which were originally used for precision automobile manufacturing.
Simultaneously purchased were several industrial-grade trackless AGV transport carts and automated conveyor belt systems.
That's right!
These extremely expensive precision mechanical devices were all the physical body interfaces he had prepared for Shin-chan!
Zhao Yang planned to rent another remote, hidden independent factory building in the suburbs of Yanjing to set up an automated laboratory!
Analyzing the unknown components of the system potions and conducting countless trial-and-error reagent proportions and titrations involved too much boring and repetitive labor.
But the energy potion happened to involve the system's greatest secrets. Zhao Yang was absolutely unwilling to let any human researcher come into contact with these beyond-the-era products, not even the diluted waste liquid.
After all, it was hard to explain the source of these things from the system to others, and it would actually be very troublesome.
With Shin-chan's current capabilities, it could directly drive these automated devices.
Let cold steel replace human hands of flesh and blood, working twenty-four hours a day without fatigue in an absolutely sterile and constant-temperature physical environment to fiddle with those test tubes and centrifuges!
No need to pay wages, no need to pay social security, no emotional fluctuations, and absolute loyalty.
This was the ultimate in efficiency and confidentiality.
While Zhao Yang sat in front of the computer, busy writing the low-level control protocols for the lights-out laboratory and arranging the layout of these automated equipment pipelines...
The phone on the desk suddenly rang.
The caller ID showed Professor Gu Ming from the School of Life Sciences.
Zhao Yang casually pressed the answer button: "Professor Gu."
"Zhao Yang! Great Shin-chans!"
As soon as the call connected, Professor Gu Ming spoke excitedly.
"Our research group's paper on the drought-resistant gene regulatory network just received the official acceptance email from the editorial office! It passed the review and is being scheduled for publication!"
"Congratulations, Professor Gu."
Zhao Yang stopped typing on the keyboard and replied with a smile.
"Our project for this stage has finally been successfully concluded."
"This is all thanks to you! If you hadn't used that algorithm to accurately lock onto those core targets, we wouldn't have been able to get such beautiful data in the later verification experiments."
Professor Gu Ming's mood on the phone was very high.
"Tonight, our research group is holding an internal victory banquet at a restaurant by the school's south gate. Everyone specifically requested that you must be there, so don't you dare decline. Six o'clock tonight, be there on time!"
"Alright, Professor Gu, I'll definitely be there on time," Zhao Yang agreed readily.
"Great, see you tonight then."
After hanging up the phone, just as Zhao Yang put it back on the desk, the system notification sounded in his ear.
"Ding! Detected that a Biology research project deeply participated in by the User has officially concluded, and the core research results have been accepted and published by an authoritative journal!"
"Calculating subject experience..."
"Ding! Congratulations to the User, you have gained Biology experience +20,000!"
Hearing these two notifications, Zhao Yang's eyes suddenly lit up. Not bad! A twenty-thousand experience point reward!
"Ding! User's Biology experience is full, successfully leveled up to LV4!"
"Ding! Obtained level-up attribute reward: Intelligence +3!"
"Ding! Obtained random lucky draw attempts +2!"
