My autobiography is definitely not a tragedy!
Chapter 492 - 323: Biology Doesn’t Care

Chapter 492: Chapter 323: Biology Doesn’t Care

Life is like a play, when you’re happy it’s a comedy, when you’re sad it’s a tragedy, when romance comes knocking it turns into a teen drama...

"Mom, you’ve been watching too many TV dramas, that’s enough, I still have work to do, please leave!"

"Hey! I wasn’t finished talking..."

"Bang!"

Yang Hui stared at the closed door, her face full of astonishment.

Strange, this reaction... Why is it a bit different from what I expected?

Could it be that he was shy, so he closed the door and hid under the covers to chuckle?

...

Meng Lang locked the door, his face a mix of tears and laughter.

Older ginger is indeed spicier, Comrade Yang Hui truly has fiery eyes and golden pupils! This is incredible!

The intelligence I painfully gathered over many lifetimes, she easily solved with just a photo album?

One sentence! Really, I can’t help but admire it...

But Comrade Yang Hui doesn’t seem to realize that two pieces of good news exactly make bad news...

He sighed helplessly.

Sometimes I think, I am quite a failure.

The ancients say, cultivate oneself, put one’s family in order, govern the country, and bring peace to the world...

But in these stages, I hold my autobiography in hand, yet fail to fulfill any of them.

Cultivate oneself, my body is full of ailments yet unresolved, I may fall into Alzheimer’s any day.

Put one’s family in order, my love life is so tangled that not even the civil office knows when it could be sorted out.

I can’t even foresee the formation of a "home," let alone bringing harmony to it.

As for governing the country and bringing peace to the world, in my many lifetimes, there has never been peace!

The more I read, the more I know, but my troubles only seem to increase...

If I knew nothing about the future, at this moment... I would probably be hiding under my covers gleefully, right?

Ah! Trouble, it’s always a hurdle for those seeking happiness...

I’ll just take it one step at a time... Let’s think about how to launch satellites first.

...

He sat at his desk, eating the lunch his mother brought, while he took out his notebook and looked up cutting-edge technology on "rocket recovery."

In December 2015, SX Company from across the ocean succeeded in a vertical landing of the Falcon 9 on land, successfully recovering the first stage rocket.

This was the first time a rocket designed for orbital launches had achieved a vertical landing. Using recoverable rockets could significantly reduce the cost of space launches, a landmark event ushering in a new era of affordable spaceflight!

As of now in 2018, SX Company holds an astonishing 65% of the global commercial launch market share, primarily due to its advanced recovery and reuse technology.

The word "affordable" says it all.

Depending on temporarily using other countries’ satellites through stealing, although technically feasible, isn’t a long-term solution.

Satellites are essential national equipment, large-scale uncontrollable satellites could almost be equated with acts of war.

In the long run, to execute large-scale drone warfare, building one’s own satellite constellation is imperative.

However...

Watching the Falcon Rocket recovery video on his computer, Meng Lang struggled to swallow the kung pao chicken in his mouth.

This is the forefront of space exploration technology, a gem in the crown of human technology, the crowd’s screams and cheers underlining the historical significance of this moment.

And in the entire world, only SX Company has mastered this technology...

Though I have laid out many industries, I am totally inexperienced in the field of rocket launches, to think about recovering rockets under these circumstances...

Even Meng Lang himself found it a bit like a pipe dream.

And such cutting-edge high-end space technology, can it really be surpassed with just Zero?

Meng Lang pointed at the playing rocket recovery video on the screen, trying to ask.

"Zero, if I let you develop the control software part, could you achieve this effect?"

After a full 3 seconds, Zero replied.

[Please remove the word ’could’! If you provide detailed rocket launch parameters and if I use all my computing power, it would take me about three days to complete this design task.]

"It’s really possible?" Meng Lang’s eyes widened.

[It is not difficult. According to the research materials, the key technology barrier in rocket recovery is ’on-line planning guidance software.’

That is, enabling the rocket to adaptively adjust and optimize in real-time during its return.

I’m sorry, but this is exactly Artificial Intelligence’s forte.]

A wave of "everyone else here is just a little brother" boldness permeated the air.

Yet, Meng Lang was not overly joyful.

Yes, we had overcome the key technology barrier.

But do we lack key technology? What we lack is a whole commercial launch industrial chain!

Simply having a strategy direction from a military book is not enough; how to implement it is something we must figure out ourselves...

Starting from scratch on my own would be too slow. The only feasible option was to partner with the National Aerospace Bureau.

The rocket launch technology of Country Hua could absolutely be ranked in the top three worldwide.

But if we were just providing key software technology, then during the construction process of the low-orbit satellite constellation, I would absolutely have no say.

I need to not only be a provider of technology but ideally also a provider of funding, controlling the commercial operations...

Meng Lang then searched a bit more about the current development of domestic commercial space companies, and the results brightened his eyes.

Since 2014, our country had formulated a series of aerospace policies to promote the development of commercial aerospace and encouraged private enterprises to enter the aerospace field.

In 2017, there were a total of 16 disclosed commercial aerospace financing events, with total funding exceeding 1.7 billion yuan.

In 2018, there were a total of 14 disclosed financing events for commercial aerospace, with total funding exceeding 1.3 billion yuan...

Clearly pressured by SX Company’s rapid monopolization of the international satellite launch market, the domestic scene had realized its own shortcomings in the aerospace sector and was now accelerating the development of commercial aerospace companies.

By reducing the costs of space activities through market competition, from the perspectives of cost savings, efficiency improvements, and adapting to downstream demand, commercialization had become the trend in the development of the aerospace industry.

And this... was his opportunity!

However, before shooting for the stars, he at least needed to launder the recovery guidance software technology...

Meng Lang thought to himself.

"Zero! Pull up the detailed information on Cretaceous Company..."

...

Su City, Changqing Biological.

"Professor Zheng, this is the first batch of scientific research equipment list. Please inspect it and, if there are no issues, sign here."

Zheng Dalu took the inspection list handed over by Tang Yun and carefully verified each item. After confirming they were correct, he then signed his name in the designated area.

Smiling, he handed the inspection list back to Tang Yun.

"Thank you, Mr. Tang."

"This is part of my job." Tang Yun smiled back.

"The next batch of equipment is already on the way and should arrive next week. If you need anything else during this time, you can always tell me."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Dalu couldn’t help but feel a bit sentimental.

"Our company’s efficiency is indeed commendable. Before, it could take up to half a year to get a single piece of equipment approved. I’m really grateful to Mr. Tang."

"Hehe! That’s because Chairman Gao values this project, she has instructed us to meet all the demands of the research institute. If you should thank someone, thank Chairman Gao." Tang Yun responded with a laugh.

Hard work is your own, but the credit goes to the leaders, a little secret of the corporate world.

Zheng Dalu’s loyalty indeed rose a few points.

Yet, he also felt a considerable pressure.

They trust without suspicion and burden you with heavy responsibilities right from the start; if you don’t produce results, you won’t even feel right with yourself.

Originally planning to leave work at five sharp, he now considered, maybe pushing dinner half an hour later...

5:30 might not be too bad?

"Professor Zheng! It’s out! It’s out!"

Just then, a researcher clad in a white lab coat burst into the office, exuberantly excited.

"Xiao Wang, what kind of behavior is that, rushing around? What’s out?" Zheng Dalu glared at him.

This was his research assistant brought along from Suzhou University, usually a steadfast individual...

Didn’t he see there were still guests present?

"It’s...it’s the comparative trial for Alzheimer’s disease early prediction technology! The experiment has a 100% accuracy rate!

Professor! Our experiment... it seems like it really succeeded!"

Joy was unmistakable on Xiao Wang’s face.

"What?!"

Professor Zheng was utterly stunned.

Success... succeeded?

He slowly widened his eyes!

"That’s impossible! How could it have succeeded..." Zheng Dalu’s face was filled with disbelief.

Tang Yun was somewhat speechless.

What are you talking about, your experiment succeeded and you’re not happy about it?

However, she didn’t know that in Zheng Dalu’s eyes, it was normal for the experiment to fail; but if it succeeded... that was headline news...

"Where are the experiment data? Show me, quick!" Zheng Dalu urgently told his assistant.

"Here they are!"

Accepting the handed-over experimental data, Zheng Dalu disregarded Tang Yun’s presence and began comparing the numbers item by item right there on the office desk.

Then... gradually, he became even more flabbergasted.

Undoubtedly, it was a perfect experiment...

He looked up, his expression somewhat vague, "Are you sure... these experiment data aren’t falsified?"

Xiao Wang couldn’t help but be half amused, half frustrated.

"Professor, you personally conducted the experiment, and the data just came out. How could I have the ability to forge it so quickly?"

Indeed! The experiment was completed right under his own eyes, and there was impossible to falsify anything in such a short time...

If it wasn’t falsification on their part...

Suddenly, an article floated up in Zheng Dalu’s mind!

An inaugurating work in Alzheimer’s disease pathology explorations, doubtlessly a classic...

This moment, standing at the crossroads of history.

He suddenly remembered a saying from his mentor many years ago.

You can publish papers through deception, you can gain honors through deception, but you can never cure a disease through deception...

Because, biology does not care.
