After the honorary doctorate conferment ceremony at the National University of Singapore, Chen Yongcai and Zheng Li had a brief exchange.
Chen Yongcai often communicated with Zheng Li about academic issues via email.
Chen Yongcai was greatly shocked by Zheng Li's profound expertise in PDE.
After Singapore decided to leverage its academic environment to build a research team focused on magic, Chen Yongcai strongly recommended Zheng Li.
"Zheng Licai has achieved such results at the age of twenty. He is a rare talent. We need to do our best to win him over."
"His academic strength is not only in biology, but he also has a deep understanding of mathematics. At least in the field of PDE, his level is no less than that of a newly promoted professor at the National University of Singapore."
Singaporean officials neither approved nor rejected Chen Yongcai's proposal, as they had previously approached Zheng Li in hopes of him transferring his citizenship to Singapore, but were directly refused.
In their view, the cost of trying to win over Zheng Li was too high and not worthwhile at all.
After Kechuang Bio went public, Zheng Li's net worth has exceeded 500 billion RMB.
Even though Zheng Li is from Earth, money is just a number to him, not to mention that Zheng Li doesn't care about money at all.
Singapore has no leverage to persuade Zheng Li.
Chen Yongcai tried to leverage his personal relationship with Zheng Li to change the situation.
After a lengthy security check, Chen Yongcai finally entered the R&D center of Kechuang Bio in Singapore.
Zheng Li stood up in the reception room to greet Professor Chen: "Professor Chen, our security measures may be a bit excessive. You are aware of what happened in Singapore before, so please forgive us."
Since the biological cloud was built, Zheng Li's brain has been able to multitask, utilizing the storage and computing functions of the biological cloud for its own use.
These kinds of routine meetings don't even take up one percent of his energy.
Chen Yongcai: "It's alright. I'm a very straightforward person, and Mr. Zheng, you are also a straightforward person, so I won't beat around the bush."
"You've been in Singapore for almost a year now. I wonder what your impressions of Singapore are?"
Judging from the tone of the music, Zheng Li could roughly guess the other party's intention: "It's a nice place, the weather is warm, and it's clean and tidy."
"I think it's great."
Chen Yongcai continued, "Singapore recently has a very large research project with an annual investment of at least 10 billion US dollars. The plan is to organize a large research team to conduct research in biology, chemistry, astronomy and mathematics."
"Our research objective is very special. You will only know this after you join the team. I can guarantee that it is a research subject that you may have heard of but have never seen before."
Zheng Li was speechless. It's just studying magic, right? I've been playing with magic for hundreds of years, what else is there to study? I know most of the things you want to study.
But on the surface, she had to pretend to be completely unaware: "Could you explain it more clearly?"
Chen Yongcai looked troubled: "I'm sorry, no, this research project is now and will be highly confidential for a long time to come."
"But once you join the program, all relevant permissions will be granted to you."
Zheng Li asked, "Since the level of secrecy is so high, should I apply for Singapore citizenship?"
Chen Yongcai nodded: "Of course, but I guarantee that the research subjects will definitely satisfy you."
Zheng Li declined, saying, "I need to think about it. Changing nationality is a big deal."
After Chen Yongcai left, Zheng Li stayed alone in the conference room for a while. He realized that the major forces on Blue Star had begun to operate.
He felt that this level of effort was not enough; the nations of Earth had not yet realized what magic could truly bring.
They haven't tasted the benefits enough, and their understanding of how magic improves research efficiency and depth is not yet profound enough.
Zheng Li sighed inwardly. The mining speed of Magic Coin was too slow, and it was still in the early exploration stage.
He could only hope that once the speed of magic coin mining increased and more people developed magic brains, he could gradually unlock more functions for the magic forum.
There are only two people here; the forum might as well be called an instant messaging software.
Zheng Li doesn't have much of a sense of national identity; it's just that Singapore can't offer him a price, or rather, no country on the entire planet can offer enough to buy him off.
Zheng Li can obtain what he needs on his own.
With the restart of high-energy physics particle accelerators like CEPC and ILC, Zheng Li felt that his arrival had brought about a huge change to the scientific research process on Earth.
After leaving the reception room, Zheng Li went to the public research area.
"Li Wanqing, what's the progress of the brain-computer interface?"
Li Wanqing glanced at the experimental data: "The research on brain-computer interface with mobile phones for the English department is basically complete. The brain-computer interface with mobile phones for the Arabic, Japanese and Korean departments will begin soon."
"Given our experience with English-speaking brain-computer interfaces for mobile phones, the progress for the other three language systems will be much faster."
"In addition, brain-computer interfaces are being developed in the field of prosthetics and the second phase of brain-computer interface mobile phone research and development projects are also underway."
Sci-Tech Biotech has assembled a large team at its R&D center in Singapore, with over 300 PhDs in brain science and biological sciences.
Putting aside everything else, Singapore is really convenient for finding R&D talent.
Not far from the Science and Technology Innovation Biotechnology R&D Center is the Dashi Biomedical Park, where a large number of multinational biomedical giants, startups, and SMEs have set up R&D centers.
Kechuang Bio's human resources department would occasionally go there to see if they could poach people.
In addition, Kechuang Bio is recruiting in China, saying that they want people to work in Singapore with good benefits and visa assistance. There are so many recent PhD graduates who want to come.
Not to mention, my work experience at Kechuang Biotechnology is a very valuable one.
When making career plans, you need to realize that some work experiences are worthless and will be a disadvantage when you change jobs.
Some work experience is valuable; even if the salary was low at the time, you can use that experience to get a higher salary in the next job.
As a monopolistic company in the field of brain-computer interfaces, many American companies have tried to poach its employees, offering salaries starting at 1.5 times higher.
After listening, Zheng Li nodded and said, "Very good, but do you have any insights?"
"Although these three are all applications of brain-computer interfaces, have you noticed any differences?"
Li Wanqing was lost in thought, pondering the differences between the three projects, as well as their research materials and experimental data.
The three projects are: brain-computer interface for mobile phones in other language systems, brain-computer interface for prosthetic limb control, and optimization and upgrade of brain-computer interface for mobile phones.
“Brain-computer interfaces for other language systems are developed according to your ideas, Mr. Zheng. Basically, you just need to follow the steps and there is very little need for independent thinking.”
"Brain-computer interface prosthetics is a relatively mature application area with many industry cases and solutions, and there are many things we can learn from it."
"The only area where we can optimize brain-computer interfaces for mobile phones is the most challenging, because we are at the forefront of this field and need to rely entirely on ourselves."
