As a mage, I just want to pursue the truth

Chapter 173 Conditions (4000)

The Lion City has spared no effort in winning over Zheng Li.

Since Zheng Li arrived in Singapore, he has tried to win over Zheng Li through various means, and the efforts to win him over have gradually increased with the development of Kechuang Biotechnology.

Most of the administrative staff at the Singapore R&D center of CStone Biotechnology are dressed flashily every day, which fascinates the researchers at the R&D center.

Single researchers run to the administrative office area whenever they have free time.

Some of these women were sent by their families, while others came on their own accord.

Unfortunately, most of the researchers are typical Chinese test-takers who just walk around, take a look and leave every day without showing their masculine charm.

Zheng Li is the richest man in Asia, a first-generation rich man, and he is also very handsome. These so-called second-generation rich people go there just for Zheng Li.

Marry Zheng Li, the capital that Zheng Li represents is too tempting.

The market value of Kechuang Biotechnology exceeds 50 trillion RMB, and Zheng Li holds more than % of the shares. His net worth of trillions is very attractive.

Many women in Southeast Asia, Hong Kong, Taiwan and other places dream of marrying into a wealthy family.

These places do not promote gender equality or respect women's rights as much as mainland China.

In the past, Hong Kong actresses would retire and get married if they could marry into a wealthy family. This phenomenon is much less common in mainland China. There are differences in values ​​and pursuits.

As for the wealthy families in Singapore who wanted to marry their daughters to Zheng Li, the Singapore government not only did not stop them but provided various conveniences. They were happy to see Zheng Li have a closer connection with Singapore.

The official connection here is to invite Zheng Li to participate in official activities while inviting certain socialites to participate and arranging their seats together.

But Zheng Li didn't respond and gained nothing.

Zheng Li was also helpless. He saw someone coming to talk to him about academic issues. After he explained, he asked a few questions casually, but saw that the other party could not answer.

So Zheng Li recommended some professional books and papers, saying that reading them would help one get started and they could discuss the topic later.

There is really no one who can finish this set, the threshold is too high.

After three years, no one could persist, and the top leaders in Singapore even suspected that Zheng Li had a problem with his sexual orientation.

In this era of great contention, Zheng Li and his Science and Technology Future can be regarded as strategic resources.

The potential value of brain-computer connections is increasingly recognized by the outside world. The value of the monopoly of scientific and technological innovation in the field of brain-computer interaction is even more difficult to estimate.

Among them, Chen Yongcai is the most eager among the senior executives in Singapore to win over Zheng Li.

As a PhD in Mathematics from Yale University, Tan Eng Chye continued his academic research even while serving as the president of Singapore National University.

Chen Yongcai has a good balance between academic and administrative work, and it is because of this that he can become the person in charge of the Lion City Magic Coin project.

"Based on the current situation, I will get straight to the point. Lion City hopes that you will join our Magic Coin project team. If you agree, you will become the person in charge of the research of the Magic Coin project team."

"And we are willing to give you the magic brain corresponding to the first magic coin mined in Lion City."

Zheng Li was surprised by the generosity of Lion City, because he was Chinese and had only been in Lion City for three years.

After seeing the open and secret struggles between England, Neon and Kangaroo Country over a magic brain, he knew the value of the magic brain on Blue Star.

Although he can have as many of these things as he wants, for a small country like Lion City, this magic brain may be their only gain for many years.

Chen Yongcai saw the surprise that flashed across Zheng Li's eyes. He knew that the chips he took out this time made Zheng Li tempted, but he just thought so.

He sat opposite Zheng Li without saying a word, just looking at Zheng Li quietly.

Zheng Li asked directly: "Why me?"

"And I just need to join the Magic Coin project team to get the Magic Brain?"

You have to know that with Zheng Li's identity, if he took the magic brain, he would return to his country. With his social status, it would be impossible for Lion City to stop him.

As for physically destroying Zheng Li or directly imprisoning him, even without considering Zheng Li's own abilities, the Chinese officials are not pushovers.

Therefore, Zheng Li has a new respect for Singapore. After all, not every country can make such a determination.

After Chen Yongcai finished explaining, Zheng Li finally understood what the other party was thinking.

"Mr. Zheng, joining the Magic Coin project team is only one of the conditions. I don't need to elaborate on the preciousness of the Magic Brain."

"I can tell you a little bit of information. There are only about ten magic brains in the world."

“For more than two years, top talents gathered together to mine magic coins, but only about ten magic coins were found.”

This number is only an estimate by the Lion City side and there is a certain deviation from the actual data.

"So there are certainly more than just one condition to obtain the Demon Brain, but the remaining conditions won't be difficult either."

"There are only two other conditions. One is that you need to be a citizen of Singapore, and the other is that you need to marry a wealthy woman from Singapore and have offspring."

"Neither of these two conditions is difficult. You can choose the specific marriage partner as long as he/she is within the range. Of course, you must respect the other party's wishes."

If Zheng Li was a Blue Star person, two words would definitely pop up in his mind: selecting a concubine.

Zheng Li was stunned for a moment after hearing this. He declined politely, "Mr. Chen, forget it. I am not yet at the point where I would trade my marriage for something."

Zheng Li indeed thinks so.

After the birth of the Mage Alliance, the great abundance of material things made marriage a historical term. Mages, including ordinary people, no longer needed marriage and did not have such relationships.

After Zheng Li came to Blue Star and gained a deep understanding of its history and current situation, he realized that the people of Blue Star attach so much importance to marriage.

Dividing the property in half during divorce is still a bit cruel.

In Zheng Li's opinion, people should not get married at all, let alone use their marriage as a transaction condition.

As for future generations, Zheng Li was even more resistant.

Accustomed to being rejected by Zheng Li, and having had many private conversations with Zheng Li, Chen Yongcai did not feel surprised when Zheng Li rejected him:
"Don't rush to refuse. Think about it before deciding. If you don't want to, just email me back."

"In fact, we are not treating marriage as a transaction condition. It's just that your marriage partner needs our approval. But it doesn't mean you can't date other people you like."

There is also a view in Singapore that Zheng Li is deeply in love with Li Miaomiao and only considers Li Miaomiao as a marriage partner.

But this view was not recognized by everyone. Because if there was real affection, how could Li Miaomiao only come to Singapore once in three years?

Zheng Li shook his head and changed the subject: "I won't consider it for now."

Zheng Li serves as the head of the mining team, and the right to use the mined minerals belongs to Zheng Li.

In addition, they will find their designated person to marry and immigrate to Singapore. You should know that according to the laws of Singapore, the pre-marital property must be divided equally between the other party in case of divorce. This is equivalent to Zheng Li spending half of his own wealth to buy a magic brain, and this magic brain also requires his own mental labor.

Half of Zheng Li's wealth is 500 billion RMB.

Not to mention that even if the magic brain is given to Zheng Li after the magic coin is mined, Zheng Li is still a Singaporean.

After he transferred his nationality, China was in no position to speak for him.

The Lion City side had calculated very well, calculating that Zheng Li did not understand the laws of Lion City, or that Zheng Li would not conduct any prior investigation.

If Zheng Li was an ordinary person, he would have been fooled and fallen into this trap.

From the perspective of Lion City, the biggest purpose of giving the position and benefits to Zheng Li is to completely and deeply bind Zheng Li with Lion City.

Unfortunately, Zheng Li is a mage himself, not to mention that the one in Lion City is just a clone.

Zheng Li was not afraid of threats or inducements. If he lost this clone, the worst that could happen was that he would just change his identity.

But now that Lion City has done this, can they withstand the pressure from China?

"I have a question. Have we verified the Heber algorithm that Merlin claimed in his paper?"

"Is what he said necessarily right? Is it really possible that a planet that conforms to the Hyber algorithm could have intelligent life?"

"And the possibility of intelligent life here, is it that there is intelligent life now or that there will be intelligent life in the future? If there is intelligent life in the future, is it certain or just a possibility?"

Chen Yongcai smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Zheng, your questions are not easy to answer."

"First of all, the Heber algorithm, the Heber constant, and the calculation method of the cosmic coordinate system are all concepts that Merlin came up with. The logic of these concepts is self-consistent."

"At least for now, the scientists on Blue Star have not found any loopholes."

"As for what Merlin said about the planets that conform to the Hyber algorithm possibly having intelligent life, we don't know about that, and it's not important to us right now."

"Because at least in the short term, we don't have the ability to travel between stars. As long as we find a cosmic coordinate system that conforms to the Heber algorithm, Merlin will give us magic coins and magic brains."

“The Heber algorithm and Heber constant are not so much astronomical theories as they are mining systems carefully designed by Merlin. We mine according to the system he designed and get rewards.”

"And I can't answer the other question."

Zheng Li: "I'm curious about the progress of Lion City. I saw in the news before that Lion City is working with ASEAN to conduct research related to magic coin, right?"

In fact, progress is slow, because the intelligent planets close to the blue planet that are easy to find have already been excavated by the big countries.

If we want to find a new cosmic coordinate system that meets the requirements, we can only look into deep space. The mining difficulty is somewhat similar to BTC, which is a gradually increasing state.

Chen Yongcai would naturally not tell Zheng Li the truth: "The mining progress is the same as expected. We have found a star field that meets the requirements and are currently locating a planet that specifically meets the Heber algorithm."

The problem is that before they calculate the specific cosmic coordinate system, they don’t know whether the planet has been dug up by other major powers.

This is a zero-sum game of blind vision, and one slow step will lead to slower steps.

Zheng Li: "I have another question. The Magic Coin research group is a joint research team formed by your country and other ASEAN countries."

"How can you guarantee that the magic brain exchanged for the first magic coin can be used by me?"

Chen Yongcai smiled and said: "We still have a certain say in Southeast Asia. We have agreed that the right to use the first magic coin belongs to Lion City. Of course, we have also paid other costs."

Zheng Li reminded: "I saw in the news that India also wants to join the joint research team. If India joins, can you still guarantee that you will have such a big say as you do now?"

"I'm sorry there are too many unknown variables in this collaboration. I'd rather work on my own."

Chen Yongcai's heart sank when he heard the word India. As a regional power, India put too much pressure on Lion City.

Their alliances cannot stop India from achieving its goals. India has already won over at least three ASEAN countries.

The ASEAN meeting to be held in Kuala Lumpur in a few days will discuss this matter. Tan Eng Chye is unsure whether he can keep India out:

"India's participation will not affect our cooperation. The Lion City side will definitely do what it promised in advance."

But he was still confident in what he said. Chen Yongcai continued, "I still say that, Mr. Zheng, don't rush to refuse, think about it carefully."

“We know that Kechuang Biotechnology has established a magic coin research team a long time ago, but we didn’t have a deep understanding of magic before.”

"After Merlin's performance, Kechuang Biotechnology increased its investment in the field of magic. But the power of a company is ultimately no match for that of a country."

"If Mr. Zheng wants to master extraordinary powers, cooperating with us is the best way. It will be difficult for you to get your turn in China."

Seeing the other party's statement, Zheng Li verbally took a step back: "Okay, I'll consider it."

Witten was restrained by Merlin at the Stockholm Concert Hall and could not move, and Merlin's voice rang directly in his mind.

In addition to Witten, Jean Pierre, the owner of the French magic brain, also received the same treatment.

After this incident, America and the European Union speculated even more that Merlin could directly control the magic brain injector through the magic brain.

Therefore, even though the magic brain has many benefits, no decision-makers dare to inject it.

"Zheng Li still didn't agree?"

"He said he needed to think about it, but I think the hope is slim, Zheng Li is too young and has achieved too much.

People like this always think they can do anything and can do anything they want. It is the most difficult to convince such people. "

"At first I thought I shouldn't be obsessed with Zheng Li. After all, his achievements are only in the field of biology. There are many people who are better than him in the field of mathematics."

"After comprehensive consideration, Zheng Li is the best candidate. He can be of great help to Lion City in other aspects."

"But you failed to convince him, didn't you? Since you failed to convince Zheng Li, he is not the only candidate to launch Plan B."

Lion City certainly wouldn't dare to use force against Zheng Li. Under this situation, China has a strong deterrent power over Southeast Asia.

As time goes by, the deterrent power continues to increase. After all, China has not stopped producing dumplings in recent years.

"Okay, then Zheng Li is competing with us for doctoral graduates in the Department of Mathematics and the Department of Astronomy in Lion City. Do we need to intervene in this matter?"

"No need. How many people can he recruit? Let him go. Young people always need to encounter setbacks before they can recognize the truth of the world. It's fine if he wants to come back and cooperate with us after he encounters setbacks himself."

Sorry, I went to the movies last night so I didn’t write. I’ll make up for it this morning.

After watching "Moonfall", if you watch it with the mindset of watching a science fiction film, you may be disappointed. But if you watch it with the mindset of watching a disaster film for the special effects, it's not bad.
