Chapter 49 The Forty-ninth Patent



Qu Yan slept until dawn.

Last night was the first peaceful sleep he had had since being rescued from hell. He no longer woke up in the middle of the night, had night sweats all night, or had recurring nightmares.

A whole night of dreamless and high-quality sleep finally allowed him to have a good night's sleep. At this time, he no longer felt manic or had palpitations, and his body and mind had a long-lost sense of satisfaction.

Especially when he woke up, he found his wife sleeping next to him, holding his hand tightly.

The happiness and warmth he felt at that moment made him forget all the hardships and he was willing to try to believe that the future might not be so bad, and that he would still have the people he loved and the warm sunshine to embrace him.

He wanted to put a piece of clothing on his wife, but as soon as he moved, his wife woke up.

When his wife saw how energetic he was today, she was overjoyed.

"Didn't you have a nightmare last night?"

Qu Yan held her hand tightly and smiled sincerely, "I slept very well. I didn't have any dreams."

His wife's nose felt sore and she bit her lips hard to prevent herself from crying again.

But Qu Yan hugged her and held her head in his arms.

The familiar hug made his wife unable to bear it any longer. She cried out in pain, as if she wanted to cry out all her grievances.

She sobbed but still did not forget to ask the most crucial question. She grabbed his clothes and looked up at him.

"Then you still want to divorce me?"

Qu Yan opened his slightly red eyes and shook his head.

He said with a nasal voice: "I want to spend my whole life with you."

His wife stared at him blankly for a long time, and finally burst into laughter and hugged him tightly again.

Qu Yan also rarely showed a happy smile.

After both of them calmed down, Qu Yan subconsciously touched the sleep bracelet on his wrist and fell into deep thought for a long time.

Dai Li also gave the sleep monitoring device set to Mr. Cheng, who gave it a five-star rating after using it.

During the operation and recovery period, Mr. Cheng used a sleep monitor to fall asleep every day.

During this period, he not only recovered his health, but also became more energetic. The hair that had been lost due to chemotherapy grew back, and the lost flesh was replenished. When he was discharged from the hospital, he looked at least ten years younger.

Mr. Cheng has been discharged from the hospital, but the mother of the boss who had previously spent a huge amount of money to buy a kidney from abroad is still in the hospital.

His mother had a strong rejection reaction after the operation and is still in the hospital for observation.

Later, when they met Cheng's father at a drinking party, they naturally talked about the situation of their elders.

It was also at this time that he learned about Mr. Cheng's condition and knew that he had received a biomimetic kidney. Both kidneys were replaced at the same time. Not only did there not be any rejection reaction, but he was also discharged from the hospital early.

Now walking and running are no problem, and I am no different from healthy people.

After the drinking party, he became interested and asked around about the biomimetic technology. He finally found out that currently only the 993 Hospital can perform this technology, and it is very difficult to make an appointment, and the review mechanism is extremely strict.

He thought that since Mr. Cheng was able to transfer to No. 993 on the same day, Cheng's father's family must have connections.

So he wanted to use his connections to transfer his old mother to the 993 hospital and replace his mother with a biomimetic kidney that would not cause rejection.

For this purpose, he even held a banquet, introduced a business deal with full sincerity, and came to ask Cheng's father for help.

Father Cheng was jealous of the business he introduced and wanted to make money from it, but he was really busy and couldn't help.

Not to mention that he had no connections with the 993 Hospital and bionic organs, and Dai Li, who had connections, had a tense relationship with them.

Cheng's mother now wants to have a good relationship with Dai Li, but she can't see her at all.

Dai Li would visit Old Man Cheng almost every other day, but she always chose when they were not around.

The two seemed to have agreed that Dai Li would not meet with them, and Old Master Cheng also repeatedly warned them not to harass her or cause trouble for her.

More importantly, the numbers of their entire family have been blocked and have never been released. Only Mr. Cheng can contact her, and she will only answer the phone if he calls her.

He explained sincerely why he couldn't do it, but the other party didn't quite believe him.

Everyone in the business world knows that business relies on connections, and any connection you can get into must be maintained well.

What does it matter if you are not familiar with each other now? As long as the relationship is maintained well, you will become familiar with each other.

In his eyes, Cheng's father's refusal meant that he didn't want to help and was just making excuses.

He said considerately that it was okay if it couldn't be done, and it wouldn't affect everyone's relationship, and he also invited Mr. Cheng to finish the meal.

But in fact, Cheng's father knew that he had offended him, and it would be difficult for him to get projects related to him in the future.

Mr. Cheng returned to his car very dejected.

At this time, he felt regret for the first time. He regretted that he should not have looked down on and neglected Dai Li, and should not have allowed his family to exclude her.

But no matter how much he regretted it now, it was of no use. Dai Li didn't need anyone in their family to regret it.

It would be best if everyone was well and didn't bother each other. She still had a lot of things to do and wanted to make a lot of money to expand the scale of her business, improve the lives of ordinary people, allow them to use more technological products, and lead the advancement of science and technology.

First of all, she had already achieved her first goal of making money. The balance in her account was increasing every day and never dropped no matter how she used it. Her own products were always in short supply and the market could absorb them immediately no matter how much production capacity she had.

e-ne helmets have been selling very well recently. The factory has repeatedly increased production, but they are still out of stock.

And she gets a cut of every helmet sold by e-ne.

In addition, more and more technology and electronics companies are consulting about 0.22nm chips and have also seen chip samples. If the deal is successful, it will be a huge source of income.

The list of these technology and electronics companies was preliminarily selected by e-ne and Guan Honghou, and finally reviewed by Dai Li.

There were many big foreign brands on the list, but they were all picked out one by one by Dai Li and thrown aside.

Guan Honghou said distressedly, "These are all large technology companies with strong assets. The group you threw away had an international market share of 43% last year, nearly half. If we take their orders, we won't have to worry about not getting the money."

He still thinks like a traditional capitalist. He will make decisions based on the business model that can make the most money.

Dai Li: "Boss Guan, we are not short of money now."

Haizhou nodded at the foreign company that Guan Honghou was worried about. "Last year, this company colluded with some Z customers and wanted to boycott us. Mr. Guan doesn't work in the tech industry, so he hasn't read the news."

Yuan Heng: "It's safer not to accept their orders. The future relationship between the two sides is uncertain. The industry's cutting-edge technology really shouldn't flow overseas."

Song Jingshan sneered, "If they want to sanction us, then let them? They're interested in our cutting-edge technology, and we generously sell it to them? Where in the world can such a good thing happen? I wouldn't be happy to earn this money even if it was given to me!"

Guan Honghou discovered that, except for himself, no one seemed to want to cooperate with foreign capital.

He waved his hand in a conciliatory manner: "I admit that my awareness is not high enough and I can't keep up with your thinking. I have no objection to you young people making the decision."

Dai Li picked out a few more names and said, "These are all Sino-foreign joint ventures. Some of them have a higher foreign ownership ratio. For the time being, we will not cooperate with these joint ventures."

After careful selection, only three 100% local companies met the requirements.

These three companies all started out by making low-end phones, including Yang Fan's U+.

Their products were once ridiculed by netizens as the configuration of electronic waste and the standard configuration of social idiots.

It is like a cheap label, attached to the users and also to their brands.

Now everyone is slowly trying to make mid-range and high-end phones, but users are still not very receptive.

Netizens seem unable to accept that one day domestic mobile phones will no longer be cheap, no longer selling for just a few hundred yuan or one or two thousand yuan, and will no longer dominate the sinking market, but will start selling for three or four thousand yuan, or five or six thousand yuan, and compete with international brands for business.

They will say, if I have the money, why don’t I buy international brands? The performance of your domestic brand phones is not necessarily superior, and the accessories and chips are not as good as others.

The lack of strong competitiveness has always been a dilemma for domestic high-end mobile phones.

They cannot always make low-end machines, but they cannot recover their costs by making high-end machines. They are going back and forth between low-end and high-end, testing the waters and trying to find a new way out.

But with the 0.22nm chip, all difficulties can be solved.

The three local technology companies were overjoyed when they received the reply from Dai Li's company.

This is a signal to the three companies that they will definitely have a place in the future international market!

At the same time, Aldaton also received a polite rejection letter.

Reus stayed in the country for nearly a month, during which time his emotions were up and down.

He came to Country Z to explore the truth about chips, and later discovered that the 0.22nm chip was developed by a technology company in Country Z.

For a moment he couldn't face this fact.

Even if someone achieved a technological breakthrough, it should be from a developed country. Based on Country Z's progress in semiconductor development, it should not be their turn.

But the fact is the fact, and he will have to accept it even if he can't face it anymore.

Next, he thought about cooperating with this company. Who wouldn’t want a 0.22nm chip?

Not surprisingly, he received a rejection email.

Later, he placed his hopes on Yundu, hoping that Yundu could negotiate the cooperation.

Unexpectedly, Yundu, who had high hopes, was also rejected.

Through his investigation of various contacts, he found that there were only three technology companies in the country that had grabbed the quota. The common point of these three companies was that they were completely domestically produced and pitifully small in scale.

Royce scolded them on the spot for being stupid, saying that they would not cherish such a high-quality customer and would let such a small business waste good things.

What’s the point for small companies that make mid- and low-end phones to get more advanced chips? They will still continue to make their mid- and low-end phones. Can they fully bring out the advantages of 0.22nm chips?

Don't end up wasting resources like a cow chewing on a peony.

Royce is not optimistic about their cooperation and asserts that companies from Country Z will not be able to take away their international market share.

Royce only sees the current situation of domestic mid- and low-end machines and will never understand the huge energy contained in these small businesses.

They have never lacked strength, what they lack is a suitable opportunity. They are always ready, waiting for the moment when the opportunity comes. They will seize it firmly and make the whole world take notice!

Royce, who was flying back to his country at this time, may not know that the future of his group and the future of the world's technology industry are about to change drastically and unprecedentedly.

After Mr. Cheng recovered from his illness, Dai Li returned to her previous work status.

Recently, she distributed a set of sleep monitors to each employee in the company, which received unanimous praise from the company's employees and everyone was very satisfied.

Since using the sleep monitor, the overall efficiency of the company has been improved. No one takes a nap at work anymore, and even yawns are no longer uttered.

When people get enough sleep, they can maintain a high-efficiency working state and be energetic all day long.

Employees strongly urged Dai Li to mass-produce the sleep monitor.

"I used to need at least half an hour to prepare for sleep. If I had to get up to pee urgently, I would have to prepare for sleep again, which resulted in me going to bed at one or two o'clock every night. Now I don't need to prepare for sleep. I can fall asleep whenever I want."

"I developed the habit of staying up late after I started college. It's become my biological clock. I can't fall asleep before 2 or 3 a.m. every day. My previous workplace was too far away, so I had to get up at 7 a.m., but I still couldn't fall asleep until 2 or 3 a.m. I would catch up on sleep on the subway every day, and I wouldn't feel refreshed when I got to the office."

"I'm a light sleeper and have neurasthenia. The slightest noise can wake me up, and I basically wake up several times every night. Ever since my boss gave me a sleep monitor, I finally know what it's like to sleep through the night. It's so wonderful!"

Their user experience can be summed up in one sentence: the sleep monitor is very useful, please make sure to mass-produce it!

Dai Li accepted the employees' proposal very happily, not to mention that the profits brought by the mass production of sleep monitors would be quite considerable.

In modern society, too many people suffer from insomnia. The increasing pressure of life and the reversed day and night schedule have greatly affected sleep.

The popularity of melatonin and sleep-aiding drugs proves that there is a huge market for sleep aids.

Moreover, compared with melatonin and sleeping pills, the user experience of a sleep monitor is completely overwhelming.

When she was preparing for the mass production of the sleep monitor, someone found her about the sleep monitor.

It was Qu Yan whom she had met before.

Qu Yan was recently discharged from the hospital, but he has almost recovered.

With his wife's careful care and a sleep monitor to help him sleep well, his complexion seemed to have been completely transformed.

He has slowly come out of the haze and become sunny and loves life.

"Radiant" is the most appropriate way to describe him now.

When Qu Yan saw Dai Li, he didn't beat around the bush and asked directly if he could ask her for another sleeping machine.

This was not a big problem. Dai Li readily asked Sister Tu to give him another pair.

But Qu Yan looked down at the sleep monitor in his hand, thought for a long time, and wanted to make a small request to Dai Li.

"Teacher Dai, can you adjust the value of your sleep monitor a little higher, for example, to allow people to sleep longer? Or can you allow people to enter a deeper sleep so that no matter what happens, such as physical pain, they will not wake up."

"Sure," I was about to be happy about this answer, but then I heard Dai Li say, "But it's not safe, I won't increase the value."

"Adults only need six to eight hours of sleep, but the upper limit on sleep time on a sleep monitor is ten hours. Sleeping any longer than that is actually bad for the body. Furthermore, your idea of ​​allowing people to enter a deeper sleep and not feel pain is even more unsafe. Pain is the body's self-protection mechanism, and it shouldn't be deprived during sleep. That's like being on a chopping block."

Sister Tu listened and shook her head: "You absolutely can't do that. What if criminals get hold of a sleep device like this and use it to commit crimes? The victim will be completely powerless to resist."

A dim light flashed in Qu Yan's eyes.

"What do you want to do with the sleep machine? It's not just to help you sleep." Dai Li saw that he had other uses for it.

"It's not to help me sleep, but it's also to help someone, an old partner of mine."

Qu Yan paused for a long moment before continuing slowly, "My old partner and I graduated from the same police academy. We were both outstanding students there. After graduation, I became a police officer as I had hoped, and he was selected to become an undercover agent."

The gears of fate will always change dramatically because of a small choice. From then on, these two former old partners embarked on two completely different lives.

Qu Yan: "My career went smoothly for the first ten years. I rose through the ranks from an ordinary police officer to a first-class superintendent. I was an outstanding role model in the eyes of my colleagues, neighbors and friends, and was recognized annually. During these ten years, I had no news of him, and he never went home to see his mother."

"Neighbors gossip says he was expelled from the police academy and went out into the underworld, and who knows where he's dead now. But his mother doesn't believe it. She's been waiting for him to come back, at the intersection where she used to take him to school for ten years, waiting for him to come back and tell her where he'd been. Don't you know how much she misses him and how worried she is about him?"

"Ten years later, we finally found him. He completed his mission perfectly, wiping out the entire drug trafficking chain and seizing over 200 tons of drugs, the largest amount ever seized."

Dai Li and Sister Tu looked at each other tacitly and both had a bad feeling.

Qu Yan let out a heavy breath. "But the man who came back was no longer the Han Yu I knew ten years ago. He had lost his former edge and spirit. He couldn't even be considered a normal person. He was just like the thugs I caught before, a scoundrel and a slippery drug addict. It was only then that I found out where he had been and what he had been doing for the past ten years."

Sister Tu covered her mouth in shock and speculated: "Was he forced to do that?"

Qu Yan pinched his finger bones until they turned white, and bit his cheeks tightly.

"They put a gun to his head and forced him to do it, because they just needed a henchman who was easy to control and would fight for them once he got his hands on that stuff. The colleague who had previously refused died in front of him. He couldn't sacrifice himself again, because if he did, there would be no one to complete the mission. He had no choice but to offer his own token of loyalty."

Qu Yan laughed self-deprecatingly. "Everyone outside says I'm unparalleled in my bravery and have made countless contributions, but I never knew that the information that led to my promotion was all from him, who risked his life to pass it on. When I was receiving my medal, he had narrowly escaped death in a drug lord's den abroad."

"That's not my achievement. It's clearly his honor, but few people know what he did. His identity will never be revealed. People only see his miserable state and say he didn't learn his lesson, got involved with the underworld, and deserved to be a drug addict."

"He's clearly a hero, but now he's dragging his mother down with him."

This was a heavy topic. After Qu Yan finished speaking, no one spoke for a long time.

Dai Li: "Is he undergoing withdrawal treatment now?"

Qu Yan gathered his emotions and nodded, saying, "I've been cooperating with the treatment, but it's too difficult. I've visited him a few times before, and I couldn't bear it. Seeing him like that makes me feel so depressed and uncomfortable. I feel suffocated and breathless."

"I really hope he can suffer less during the withdrawal process. He's suffered so much. When I saw the sleep device you gave me, Teacher Dai, I wondered if I could use it on him so he could fall asleep during the withdrawal symptoms, which would alleviate his pain."

Qu Yan looked at Dai Li expectantly, hoping that after listening to Han Yu's story, she would make an exception and help him change the values ​​on the sleep monitor.

However, Dai Li still refused: "You are not an amateur. First of all, you should know why the withdrawal reaction occurs."

Qu Yan certainly knew the cause of the withdrawal reaction.

The human brain automatically produces endorphin, which is the source of our happiness and pleasure, and also serves as a painkiller for regulating our joints.

Drugs can allow people to obtain a large amount of dopamine in a short period of time, giving them double the happiness.

The human brain is lazy. Once it discovers that dopamine can be obtained from the outside world, the brain will no longer automatically synthesize endophenol. The next time the human body wants to obtain happiness and pleasure, it must get it from the outside world, otherwise the human mind will feel negative, painful and uncomfortable.

At the same time, our muscles and joints are constantly rubbing against each other. The brain produces endophenolphthalein, which has an analgesic effect, preventing us from feeling the pain of friction between the joints. Once the brain can no longer synthesize endophenolphthalein, the pain of friction between the joints will become more obvious, so some people describe it as like a bug crawling on their body.

Dai Li: "To help him, we should start with phenolphthalein, rather than letting him use sleep to trick his body when he has withdrawal symptoms. Forced withdrawal treatment will not do his body any good."

The people of Quyan were very smart and they turned around immediately.

He asked ecstatically, "Teacher Dai, do you have a better idea?"

Sister Tu: "Of course, our Dai Dai is Doraemon."

Recently, Sister Tu has really treated Dai Li as her own Doraemon. She asks Dai Li to do whatever she wants. The key is that Dai Li can help her do even the most outrageous things.

Anyway, Dai Li has been pestered to help her make a series of medical beauty equipment, and I don’t know what else she will do for her next.

Dai Li smiled faintly and said, "There is definitely a way. But you can't do this alone. It's not legal for us to make the final decision. You should ask your superiors and find someone to take charge."
