Chapter 151: Leading the Way to Surrender to the Enemy? No! Embracing the Future!
If LA company can really achieve cold nuclear fusion, then LA will be the number one giant company today, without a doubt!
Just when Nicolo asked to see the device in the video with his own eyes, Leon had already notified the security soldiers of LA Company and brought the miniature cold nuclear fusion core to Nicolo.
For safety reasons, this core device is placed in a reinforced glass cabinet.
When Nicolo saw the nuclear fusion device emitting bursts of faint blue energy light, it seemed as if he saw a bright new future for mankind through that faint light.
It was not until this moment that Nicolo finally believed that what Leon said was true!
"Mr. Leon, has your polymer really achieved cold nuclear fusion?!" Nicolo suddenly felt like crying.
If Leon had told him earlier that polymers could be used to create controlled cold nuclear fusion devices, he would have led the way in surrendering to the enemy like Francis!
Oh no, choose to embrace a brighter future!!
On the surface, the biotechnology company is a biological company that studies biological genes and manufactures drugs, but in fact it is a "new energy" company that has made its fortune by selling the patent for alcohol 2.
The high patent fees for ethanol 2 are the core source of revenue for biotechnology companies. As for other projects such as cloning humans and cloning animals, they are secondary businesses.
However, the genetically modified wheat that produces ethanol-2 fuel requires a large amount of arable land to grow, which will reduce the planting area of normal crops.
However, wheat is not a suitable plant for human consumption because it is poisonous.
Only after a series of complex processing can this wheat be barely edible.
But most of the time, the poor would rather eat indigestible plastic food than food made from alcohol-2 wheat, because no one wants to be poisoned.
It can be said that the reason why famine and food shortages occur in the cyber world is inseparable from the company's large-scale planting of alcohol-2 wheat.
If cold nuclear fusion can be promoted and used on a large scale, mankind will no longer be restricted by the energy crisis. Oil and methanol will not be enough in the face of nuclear fusion!
The remaining arable land can help humans solve the problem of food shortage.
"Mr. Nicolo, if you believe that what you hear is not what you see, you should know that there is no need for me to play such a joke on you."
As Li Ang spoke, he signaled to the security soldiers with his eyes, asking them to take the miniature cold nuclear fusion device away to avoid any unexpected accidents.
As Nicolo watched the soldiers of LA Company take away the nuclear fusion core device, his reluctant eyes were still fixed on the device.
But soon, Nicolo came to his senses.
He knew very well that once LA shared its cold fusion technology, it could become a global giant just by collecting patent fees.
By then, energy companies like biotechnology and Petrochemical will all have to crawl under the feet of LA companies, without any ability to fight back!
As long as Li Ang nodded, he could easily destroy the two energy giants, Biotech and Petrochemical, at any time, but he did not do so.
If this is the case, it means that Li Ang has no intention of really overturning the table of biotechnology, but is trying to take over the biotechnology company at the lowest cost.
However, even if Leon really intended to overturn the table, Nicolo knew that he and Petrochemical could not defeat LA Company at all. After all, LA Company was a giant company that made its fortune through war!
What's more, Arasaka Corporation is an ally of LA Corporation. One is the strongest military group on the ground, and the other is Arasaka Corporation which owns the Ford-class aircraft carrier.
Not to mention biotechnology and Petrochemical, even if the European Space Agency is brought in, there is no way to defeat them.
Since LA Company even has the support of the High Knights, the ESA's mass projector dares not drop meteorites on LA Company's territory.
If ESA dares to drop meteorites on the LA company, the High Knights will dare to drop meteorites on Orbital Aviation. Anyway, the High Knights don't live on Earth, so even if it's a lose-lose situation, they'd be happy to see it.
After sorting out the strength and background of both sides, Nicolo finally made a choice: "Mr. Leon, you win."
Nicolo heaved a long sigh of relief, like a surrendered soldier who had given up resistance, or like a relieved tired traveler. He knew that the moment cold nuclear fusion occurred, he had already lost.
As a savvy executive of a large company, Nicolo knows better than anyone that the trend of the times cannot be stopped by human power. The emergence of polymers has already marked the arrival of a new era of human civilization.
While the LA company can still sit down and cooperate with him calmly, he should just admit defeat and act like a grandson. This is much better than the biotechnology company being swept into the garbage dump of the times by Li Ang.
"I can give you my share of the shares, but I have another request, you must agree to it!"
Nicolo stared at Leon, his expression becoming more solemn than ever before. How could he remain indifferent when faced with a polymer that could change the fate of mankind?
"You have to let me join the polymer research and development department of LA Company. I don't mind even if I start as a scientific researcher at the lowest level!"
Although Nicolo's performance in company operations is no different from those of the executives of giant companies, and he also relies on power to disregard human lives, he does have an almost paranoid love for biological research. Between the power-hungry company executives and the fanatical scientists who pursue the truth, Nicolo prefers the latter, otherwise he would be too lazy to go to the company's laboratory every day.
Since polymers can have magical chemical reactions on plants and nuclear energy materials, it is enough to show that the uses of this thing are definitely more than that!
Maybe it has some strange effects on the human body.
Joining LA Company is Nicolo's only chance to touch the new "truth" of science, and he must consider whether this is his only chance in this life.
"Mr. Nicolo, your pursuit of science and technology is admirable. I can agree to your request and arrange for you to join the Vavilov Research Institute of LA Company."
Leon was very satisfied with Nicolo's reaction. He liked dealing with such smart people who knew the times, which saved time and energy.
For a company executive like Nicolo who is at the top level, as long as he is not stubborn and does not refuse to accept a toast, he will not live a miserable life.
"I'm curious about what projects the Vavilov Institute has. Are they just leaf buds and cold nuclear fusion?" Nicolo couldn't help but ask.
It was the first time he heard of such a research institute. You know, the connections, relationships, and resources in the circles of top dignitaries are almost the same.
Especially for R&D institutions like the Science and Technology Research Institute, they are bound to receive a lot of attention from companies. However, the research department of LA Company actually knew nothing about it!
This situation may happen either because LA's technical background is so profound that it can directly skip all technical assistance from other companies and achieve absolute self-sufficiency.
Or the LA company got something for nothing and directly acquired a research institute that is so powerful that it can rival the giant technology companies!
But no matter which statement or speculation it is, it is enough to show that today's LA company is already powerful enough to control other giant companies.
In the face of Nicolo's doubts, Leon told him the main uses of polymers.
When Nicolo heard that polymers could help scientists adjust the growth structure of plants and edit their growth curves at will, his expression became more and more stunned.
Crops adjusted with polymers can actually be planted on the moon, Mars, and the North and South Poles. Even the earth’s ecological forests that have long been destroyed can be restored to a great extent.
After hearing these technological points, Nicolo started to doubt whether he was studying gene fusion and had gone too far in his research. He felt as if he was in a dream.
Everything that happened today was nothing but a pipe dream. How could human beings possess such a magical substance that can change the destiny of the race!
"Mr. Nicolo, in the Vavilov Institute, you will see humanity's most advanced technological power. These technologies will soon change this cyber world where the strong prey on the weak."
Leon could understand Nicolo's feelings at this moment very well, because he had experienced similar excitement.
The limitation of the cyber world lies mainly in its extreme capitalization, which leads to stagnation of technological level.
In order to completely monopolize their respective market segments and control the means of production, the vested interests of giant companies that collude with each other will avoid market competition as much as possible and strangle their opponents before they can rise.
Therefore, in the cyber world, a large number of small and medium-sized enterprises have no room for survival at all, and the giant enterprises that have formed alliances with each other use interests as chains to tie the future of all mankind to them.
There is only a special existence like LA Company that has risen so fast that it is incomprehensible. Otherwise, the fate waiting for Leon would be either to be taken in by a giant company and treated like a dog, or to be beheaded by agents.
However, now, the person who carried out the invitation, beheading, and accepting as a dog was Li Ang.
Nicolo blinked hard and secretly pinched the flesh on the inside of his thigh. After feeling a clear pain, he smiled and said:
"Mr. Li Ang, it seems that I underestimated your ability and ambition. I thought all this was just a trap you set for me, but I didn't expect that you were planning to trap more than just me."
"And the whole world."
Based on all the known information, Nicolo has guessed the true intention of LA Company, but he does not intend to stop or interfere with Leon's layout.
Under the absolute crushing power of the other party, the wise choice is to go with the flow. Since the new era has arrived, let's just let nature take its course.
Those who go against the trend will only be crushed into the mud by the wheels of history.
Seeing that Nicolo had completely given up resistance, Leon did not keep him talking any longer. After treating the guests and accepting the dog, it was time to find the next one.
"In a while, I will invite executives from giant companies around the world to attend an internal meeting of the LA company on the Sky-Sky No. 1 airship."
"When the time comes, I will continue to show you other uses of polymers, Mr. Nicolo, you must come and see."
The uses that Li Ang mentioned naturally refer to the large-scale collective neural network technology of polymers controlling drones, robots and other devices!
