As a mage, I just want to pursue the truth

Chapter 184: Kechuang Biotechnology resumes trading
When Clark Island was sold, it was considered big news in the industry.

Because the island is geographically remote, it has no advantages other than its large area.

Due to the large area and the relatively low price, if it is used for tourism, the required renovation costs and subsequent marketing costs will be too high.

From the perspective of asset investment or tourism operation, there are many better options in Malaysia.

Previously, a large proportion of investors in tourism real estate in Southeast Asia came from Russia. However, for some reasons, Russian investors have disappeared in recent years.

Islands like Clark Island are the ones that no one cares about.

So when Clark Island was sold, the people working there thought: How could such an island be sold? I wish I had handled it.

The harder it is to sell an island, the higher the sales commission.

However, Clark Island perfectly meets Zheng Li's needs. It is remote and most of the surrounding islands are undeveloped, and the island area is large enough with rich plant ecology.

Zheng Li has already built Clark Island into the way he wanted it, and has transferred several clones from the Lion City R&D Center to Clark Island through secret means.

At present, in addition to the clones controlled by Zheng Li himself, Clark Island also has several clones controlled by the low-level artificial intelligence of the Bio Cloud.

These clones are responsible for some daily clerical work.

Zheng Li's main purpose on Clark Island was to study magical plants to see if he could develop a potion that could enhance spellcasting abilities.

In fact, it is possible to enhance spellcasting ability through human body modification, but one also needs to know how to do the modification.

The wizards of the Mage Alliance conducted research on magical plants and creatures, transplanting their useful gene fragments into experimental subjects.

Because gene fragments cannot be transplanted at will, transplanting gene fragments may cause gene collapse.

Magical plants are easier to cultivate and manage than magical creatures.

Therefore, Zheng Li planned to start with magical plants.

Although both Magic and Blue Star's scientific systems are based on experimental science, they have many similarities in the concepts of scientific philosophy.

However, the specific experimental methods and observations are completely different systems.

The genetic mutation of Blue Star is first induced in cells to produce genetic mutations through some means, and then to see what changes in traits will be brought about by the changes in fixed gene fragments.

The mage can directly induce cells in the direction he wants, although he may not be able to induce the cells he wants.

Then, we select the organisms that meet the requirements from the induced organisms and conduct genetic research.

The differences between Blue Star civilization and Mage civilization are more than these. Blue Star is more of an industrialized civilization with large-scale industrial production.

The mage civilization places more emphasis on individual strength. Many products rely on a mage to produce through artificial intelligence to support the production capacity of the area under his jurisdiction.

Similar products from different mages will have strong personal characteristics.

Some popular mages even charge a premium for their products.

But on Blue Star, the effect that magic can achieve is much worse than when Zheng Li was in the Mage Alliance.

Therefore, Zheng Li needs to spend more time to enhance his spellcasting ability first.

Zheng Li even suspected that the plane where Blue Star was located was not the same plane as the Mage Alliance.

Although the Haber constants of the two are the same.

After Zheng Li arrived on the island, the first thing he did was to cultivate a very simple magic plant - magic grass.

Magic grass is a common crop in the Mage Alliance. The main function of potions prepared with magic grass as the main ingredient is to measure the strength of the mage's will.

A wizard casts spells by influencing reality through his will.

Then measure the spell strength, and the spell strength and will strength can be converted using a formula.

This involves the Douglas Index, which is a constant in the formula for converting willpower and spellcasting strength.

"The constants are indeed different from the planet constants I saw in the Mage Alliance."

"The problem is that the Heber constants of Blue Star and the Mage Alliance are the same, so why is there an inconsistency in the Douglas index?"

"Is there something wrong with Blue Star, or is there something wrong with the star region where Blue Star is located?"

"According to the notes of mages who accidentally wandered to foreign planets and returned to the Mage Alliance in history, there has never been a situation where the Heber constant is the same but in different planes."

Zheng Li discovered that the Blue Planet was very strange. He had realized this before, and he confirmed it again after measuring the Douglas Index on Clark Island.

"It's obviously impossible for me to research the specific reasons by myself."

"I need to master the power of not being afraid of any power on Blue Star before I can reveal my true identity and start more direct cooperation with them."

"Before we have the power to fully protect ourselves, we can only cooperate through the magic coin system."

Zheng Lixiang knew very well that since he had come to Blue Star, he needed to be able to protect himself completely.

Although the technology of the Mage Alliance has a generational advantage over Blue Star, Zheng Li only masters a small part of it.

Moreover, the technology that Zheng Li mastered was not at the combat level.

What's more, the mage's spellcasting ability has decreased and he can't withstand the nuclear bomb.

"It just so happens that Blue Star is a planet filled with oceans. Maybe I can also transform into anything like the senior wizard did."

Zheng Li was able to become a god of magic in the Mage Alliance thanks to his research results in the field of biological computers.

He has always been interested in the wizard in history who transformed himself into everything and controlled a planet for thousands of years.

Previously in the Mage Alliance field, it was forbidden to conduct research in this area.

Now that he has come to Blue Star, Zheng Li is thinking of taking this opportunity to study in detail how the wizard was able to transform himself into anything.

"But first I have to improve my spellcasting abilities."

As for why not going to other planets, it is because the Mage Alliance can achieve long-distance space teleportation.

However, teleportation is limited to inanimate objects and does not enable the teleportation of intelligent life.

Let me first popularize a concept. The solar system of Blue Star is in the Laniakea Supercluster - Virgo Cluster - Local Group - Milky Way - Orion Arm - Gould's Belt - Local Bubble - Local Interstellar Cloud - Oort Cloud.

The Local Bubble is a bubble of low-density, high-temperature plasma that surrounds the solar system and spans 1000 light-years.

The bubble is surrounded by a layer of gas and dust that separates it from the rest of the interstellar matter.

The star field actually controlled by the Mage Alliance is roughly equivalent to a part of the local bubble.

Including the Alliance and the Empire, the territory controlled by the mage civilization will not exceed a local bubble.

Wizards have thought about using the Heber constant and the Heber algorithm to find planets where intelligent life may exist.

Then, by sending a probe to the planet, we can reach cooperation with the civilization of that planet.

But the problem is that what they need is knowledge, and it is difficult to find the right person.

Not to mention trying to conquer other civilizations across galaxies.

Every planet with intelligent life is extremely precious.

Zheng Li is a god of magic, but the number of gods of magic in the Mage Alliance far exceeds the number of life planets. If you want to conduct research similar to the mage who can transform into everything, just wait for sanctions.

The Mage Alliance will never accept such incidents to happen again.

As for the wizards who accidentally drifted to other planets in history, why this kind of research was not conducted.

First of all, there are very few mages who return to the Mage Alliance alive, and secondly, not all mages are interested in this direction.

Moreover, this is a secret. The Mage Alliance has sealed up this history, and there are very few mages who are qualified to know it.

It was by chance that Zheng Li learned about this period of history and the bits of relevant technical information in historical records.

After Zheng Li decided what he wanted to do, he felt confident but also anxious.

Because there are too many difficult problems on this road waiting for him to solve.

The soul alone is divided into countless small pieces and scattered on every biological computer.

Or is there a dedicated central computer to store souls, so that they can be transferred at any time in the event of an accident?

If it is the latter method, how does the soul achieve the transfer?

In addition, how can such a huge biological cloud network be centrally managed?

These are the two main difficulties, and Zheng Li feels overwhelmed just thinking about them.

"Let's make the potion that increases our strength first before we think about this."

Zheng Li has already focused most of his energy on Clark Island.

Ke Chuang Bio is now on the right track, and Zheng Li’s clone in Lion City is mainly engaged in the subsequent research and development of brain-computer connection.

Prepare for virtual reality.

Moreover, even if Zheng Li came up with virtual reality technology now, Blue Star would not be able to promote it.

First of all, it is impossible to achieve real-time interaction of the five senses by relying on a virtual reality helmet alone and existing semiconductor technology.

Even Bluestar's existing gigabit network is far from the bandwidth required to support virtual reality.

Only after breakthroughs in various basic technologies can the revolution of systematic products be achieved.

Just like brain-computer connection VR is the culmination of the VR industry's efforts over the years.

If it were 16 now, and Zheng Li took out his brain-computer interface to connect VR, he would not be able to achieve the same results as today.

Zheng Li's public alias - Merlin - has been posted on the forum by American mages since the Stockholm incident.

They posted that they hope Merlin can forgive them for what they have done, and that American will show sincerity to win forgiveness.

Zheng Li did not respond to the post from the American side.

Zheng Li learned through the Internet that various countries are now deliberately speculating that he is the missing English scientist.

When Zheng Li was answering questions that interested him in the magic forum, he consciously imitated the writing style of the essay of the most suspected missing person.

And not every answer is imitated, just occasionally.

If every answer is imitated, it will sound too deliberate and will not achieve the desired effect.

Zheng Li's strategy of playing hard to get made the English side very happy.

The fact that Merlin was English was already a huge advantage in their eyes.

Although Merlin has not had much public contact with England now, from the perspective of England, if Merlin wants to choose a partner in the future, England will definitely be the first choice.

“The founder of Kechuang Biotechnology transferred 8% of its shares to Huaguo Investment Co., Ltd.

After the news was announced, Kechuang Bio's stock price surged by 6% on the day it resumed trading. Affected by the expansion of state-owned assets and the hot sales of brain-computer connected VR, Kechuang Bio's market value hit a new high.

The sales volume of brain-computer interface VR in the first quarter of 2024 far exceeded institutional expectations, and the market response was enthusiastic. Ke Chuang Bio has continued to be favored by institutions since its listing.

Even though Kechuang Bio's brain-computer interface prosthesis was included in the Guangdong Province centralized procurement list, it still did not affect the market enthusiasm. Major star fund managers have significantly increased their holdings.

Not only have institutions increased their holdings, northbound funds have also continued to increase their holdings in CStone Biotechnology since last week, with the cumulative net inflow exceeding 40 billion yuan in a single week, making it the stock with the largest amount of increased holdings this week.

The market value of Sinovation Biotech has exceeded 3 trillion RMB for the first time, and the founder of Sinovation Biotech, Zheng Li, has moved up one place on the list of the world's richest people and is now ranked third. "

"Leader in brain-computer connection, further expansion of business layout

Investment points:

The company's leading position in brain-computer connection is solid, with a global market share of over 2023%. In 4000, the company expects to license more than 81.7 million brain-computer connection phones, with a global installed market share of 3%, ranking first in the world for three consecutive years.

The company has newly laid out its upstream lithium battery industry, and its net profit margin has remained stable. The company has licensed its lithium metal cathode materials to all lithium battery manufacturers through patent licensing, and at the same time, it has firmly grasped the manufacturing equipment of key graphene coating materials in its own hands, which has given the company a deep moat.

The brain-computer connection VR business is developing rapidly and the gross profit margin remains high.

Since the first quarter of 2024, the company's VR business has developed rapidly. In 2024Q1, the VR business revenue was 369.1 billion yuan, with a gross profit margin of 36.6%. As a new business, the single-quarter revenue exceeded billion yuan.

In 2024, with the rapid growth of VR market demand, VR business will become the company's new high-speed growth pole.

The pipeline planning in the field of innovative drugs is clear and endorphins have stable profits.

The company has stable patent licensing relationships with traditional pharmaceutical manufacturers, emerging pharmaceutical companies, etc., and continues to invest in new drug research and development, gradually reducing its dependence on a single pharmaceutical product. The pharmaceutical product structure will become more diversified.

The company's production capacity bases are spread across the country, and capacity construction is accelerated, helping the company's performance maintain rapid growth.

盈利预测及投资建议：预计公司2024-2026年归母净利润分别为1653.9、2085.2、2408.1亿元，对应公司4月7日收盘价853.36元，PE分别为28.3、23.6、17.4倍，维持买入评级。

Risk warning: The sales of brain-computer-connected VR products worldwide are lower than expected; international political games bring negative policy impacts; the company's innovative drug research and development is lower than expected. "

When Chen Ran returned home in the evening, he browsed the financial news. After seeing the news of Kechuang Bio's resumption of trading, he took a look at the price of Kechuang Bio and regretted it deeply.

After Tencent and Kechuang Biotechnology cooperated, the first brain-computer interface VR sample was sent to Tencent.

After many of their colleagues experienced brain-computer VR, their first reaction was to buy some stocks of Ke Chuang Biotechnology.

You have to know that one share of Ke Chuang Bio is more than 60,000 yuan, and the loss of such high-priced stocks is unbearable.

At that time, Chen Ran didn't trade stocks but only bought funds, so he didn't have this awareness.

Later, when he started to play in person, he realized what a rare opportunity he had missed.

Chen Ran turned over on the sofa and continued to browse his phone.

The response to "Hero Future" after its release was extremely enthusiastic, and they will definitely receive a considerable year-end bonus this year.

Thinking of this, Chen Ran’s regret for missing out on Kechuang Bio’s stocks was alleviated a little.

Moreover, since the game is online and the development work is completed, the subsequent optimization and upgrading are not as tiring as before.

Therefore, I can get off work before eight o'clock in the evening, go home at nine o'clock, lie on the sofa and check my phone.

As Chen Ran was scrolling, his phone suddenly jumped to the desktop automatically.

Sorry, something happened suddenly today. I have been busy before and only have time to write in the evening. I need to wait until this weekend to make up for what I owe.
