Griffin's face changed drastically, and he said, "Leaving Guansuo Si?"
“I don’t want it!”
"I also want to publish these achievements of mine on Guansuo IV, so that those who look down on me can open their eyes!!"
Li Xin patted Griffin on the shoulder and said, "Once we're in space, I'll give you more scientific researchers. Your project will make rapid progress, and I'll have you return home in glory!"
Griffin asked doubtfully, "Really?!"
Li Xin looked sincere and said, "Of course it's true!"
"When did I ever lie to you? I moved your laboratory from the Dewan War Zone to Yadun. Didn't I do what I promised you? I gave you a bigger space and more scientific research personnel to support you!?"
Griffin nodded, it was true.
Li Xin provided great support for his project, providing him with people, money and equipment.
Griffin thought again that he was already in Li Xin's hands, and where he went was not something he could decide at all.
It's not that he has to work wherever Li Xin wants him to. After figuring this out, Griffin nodded and said:
"That's fine, but when we have results, you must let me come back. I want to give those people a good slap in the face!"
Li Xin smiled naturally: "Of course no problem!"
…
After solving Griffin's problem, Li Xin came to the second project.
This is Ophelia's Biological Brain Research Institute. Compared to when she was in Gasu, she only has a pitiful thirty or so people.
In Yadun, Li Xin gave her full support and gave her all the talents she thought of. Now, there are nearly 300 people in her research institute.
Each one is an elite, each one is a talent.
After hearing the news that Li Xin was coming to inspect, Ophelia reluctantly came out of the laboratory.
Li Xin looked at the blonde Ophelia and asked, "What? It looks like you don't welcome me?"
Ophelia's expression changed, and then she quickly adjusted it. With a smile on her face, she said, "How could it be!"
"I've been looking forward to your visit again."
"Just now, there was a problem with the experiment, so I was thinking about how to solve it."
Li Xin smelled the scent of green tea from his previous life on Ophelia.
But it doesn’t matter. What Li Xin is interested in is not her looks, but her scientific research ability and projects.
"Take me to see your project!" Li Xin did not delve into this issue.
Ophelia took Li Xin deep into the underground laboratory. What Li Xin saw along the way was much more exciting than what he saw at Griffin's side.
Along the way, there were all kinds of creatures, brains of all shapes and sizes.
This feeling is really too strange.
Finally, we arrived at a laboratory full of brains.
Li Xin saw an entire brain array here. In the center, there were at least twenty brains in tanks, with electrical chips and various circuits plugged in, and they were soaked in light green nutrient solution.
These nutrient solutions seem to have the function of dissipating heat. New nutrient solutions are constantly delivered and old nutrient solutions are extracted.
When he got closer, Li Xin could see these brains moving from time to time.
Li Xin asked Ophelia beside him, "Is this the biological brain array you mentioned?"
When Ophelia talked about her project, her face seemed to be radiating a different kind of radiance.
She said confidently, "Yes, this is our latest achievement, the biological brain array."
"These biological brains already have preliminary practical value. The amount of computing power they can provide is similar to that of silicon-based mainframes of the same size, but with much lower energy consumption."
"What about the problems that existed before? Have they all been solved?" Li Xin asked.
When he first learned about it, Li Xin knew the defects of these biological brains: the high cost of cultivation, the short lifespan, and because computing and storage are in the same place, there is a huge loss of data after death.
Ophelia paused and said, "We have solved some of those problems now..."
"First, there's the issue of cultivation costs. The cost of these biological brains has dropped significantly, by about 30% compared to before."
"Thanks to our maintenance and special nutrient solution, the biological brain's survival time can be extended to approximately three hundred days."
Li Xin nodded slightly. This was good news. At the beginning, it seemed that he only had hundreds or even dozens of days to live.
Compared with silicon-based hosts, such a length of time is really unbearable. Silicon-based hosts can be used for a few years, more than ten years or even longer if they are well maintained.
Now the biological brain can be used for 300 days. Although it is still not long enough, it is at least a big improvement.
Ophelia continued, "As for the storage problem, we currently have no solution, so we can only use an external storage system."
"After the biological brain is replaced, the data left behind can still be used by the new biological brain."
"Now, these biological brain arrays have become practical. Currently, most of our research institute's calculations are completed using these biological brain arrays!"
Having said this, Ophelia became much more confident.
Li Xin asked another question of concern: "How do the construction and maintenance costs compare to a silicon-based mainframe with the same computing power?"
Ophelia's expression froze for a moment, but quickly returned to normal. She said, "This price... is more... expensive than the silicon-based mainframe."
"How much is it?" Li Xin asked.
Ophelia took a deep breath and said, "It's about 150% more expensive."
"But you know, our technology is iterating very quickly now. I believe it won't be long before I can reduce these costs!"
Li Xin shook his head and said, "The group is no longer planning to support you in continuing this research on Guansuo IV."
Ophelia was shocked: "Why, I'm about to produce results!"
Li Xin sighed and said, "This is an instruction from the higher-ups."
"Where are you going to go from now on?"
Ophelia stood there in a daze, her eyes seemed to have lost their luster.
Li Xin's fabricated words seemed to have a better effect than expected, so he said, "But I'm still very optimistic about this project."
Ophelia grabbed Li Xin's hand as if she had found a lifeline, and asked anxiously, "Are you willing to continue supporting my project?"
Li Xin patted her hands and said with a smile, "I'm willing to do that, but it might not work on the planet."
Ophelia was stunned for a moment and asked, "Where is it?"
Li Xin smiled slightly: "Space!!"
