Chapter 15: The Beginning of A Technological Empire

As Old Zhu introduced the scenarios in which the robotic arm could be used, Ding Chen’s expression became more spirited.

The more they talked, the happier they became. Slowly, they came to the same conclusion.

Ding Chen slapped Old Zhu’s shoulder. “You’re quite a nice guy. If you hadn’t told us about the pros and cons, perhaps Tiantian would have given the technology to someone else easily. You can tell that although my niece is good at technology, she’s a lot worse at grasping people’s hearts.”

Old Zhu rubbed his shoulder that ached from Ding Chen’s slap and complained, “I don’t think you’re any better than Tiantian.”

Huo Tian agreed. “That’s right. Uncle still has the cheek to criticize me.”

In the small and dilapidated courtyard, the three of them were discussing the beginning of the technology empire that would shake the world in the future! However, at this moment, they did not think that they would be able to change the world one day. They only had a simple wish to become rich.

Then, there was a series of patent applications and company registration procedures. It was all thanks to Old Zhu. He was the one who invested the most money and contributed the most during the processes.

Ding Chen only realized that his buddy was not poor at all when they started the business together!

Ding Chen’s received a blow to his perspectives of the world. “You must be lying, right? Does one earn so much from opening a dumping ground?”

Old Zhu smoked his cigarette, feeling a little proud. “How else do you think I have the money to buy so many houses?”

Huo Tian was not surprised at all. After all, the people in charge of the garbage disposal industry chain hundreds of years later were all rich big shots.

Old Zhu looked at Huo Tian hammering and knocking away on a pile of scrap metals. He sighed and said to Ding Chen, “Our urban village is really a piece of treasure land. It looks like a dilapidated slum, but there are so many hidden talents.”

Ding Chen said unhappily, “What are you talking about? I don’t believe that there’s another genius in this area who can be compared to Tiantian.”

Old Zhu said with a smile, “Don’t be unconvinced. You know Bi Long, right? He had been quite arrogant a few years ago and Later on landed up in prison. His nephew is also a genius, but he’s specialized mainly in computer programming. He earned several hundred thousand yuan from a program he made some time ago.”

Ding Chen was struck by a realization. “I remember now. That child is quite pitiful. He seems to be an illegitimate child and his leg was broken by the child of his father’s wife. His uncle went to seek revenge on his father and was sentenced to a few years. He’s living with his aunt now, right?”

“That’s not the worst part.” Old Zhu sighed. “Both of his legs were amputated. His uncle’s family spent all their money to treat him and fight a lawsuit. Why was his aunt willing to support him? If it wasn’t because she was scared that Bi Long would look for her trouble after he comes out from prison, his aunt would have chased him away long ago.”

Ding Chen sighed. “It’s not easy…

Huo Tian was listening to them gossiping and was quite curious about the boy called Bi Ying. She asked, “How old is Bi Ying?”

Old Zhu said, “I don’t know his exact age, but he should be around your age. Oh right, he seems to have graduated from junior high. I don’t know if he will continue to attend school.”

Huo Tian thought about it for a while. “I want to get to know him. Where is his house?”

Old Zhu was puzzled. “Why are you looking for him? His aunt is not to be trifled with.”

Huo Tian giggled and said, “Didn’t you say that he just earned money? I’ll go ask him if he wants to custom make a pair of robotic legs!”

Old Zhu and Ding Chen both looked at Huo Tian with complicated expressions. After a while, Ding Chen said, “If you want to go, then go. If you make a friend, you can go out more often. You won’t stay cooped up in the house all day till you’re almost growing mushrooms.”

Huo Tian got Bi Ying’s address from Old Zhu and ran out happily.

Old Zhu looked at Huo Tian’s back view and sighed. “This young lady is so kind. It’s just that her luck isn’t that good. She didn’t do anything and yet she has to bear so much debt.”

Ding Chen spat out the toothpick in his mouth and said with a cold snort, “What do you mean by bad luck? What’s so good about being abused all the time in the Huo Family? Moreover, Tiantian is so capable. When our company opens up, won’t the money be returned to the Huo Family very soon? Perhaps the Huo Family will regret having chased Tiantian away.”

“That’s true. If it wasn’t for the Huo Family’s poor judgment, this God of Fortune wouldn’t have fallen into our hands.”

“Pui, what do you mean by ‘our’? She’s from our family!”

Bi Ying’s house was not far away and Huo Tian found it in no time. She was a little nervous when she knocked on the door.

Huo Tian wasn’t here to make a genius friend.

She only remembered that in the history of robot evolution, it was a scientist named Bi Ying who had designed the computation model for smart artificial intelligence. Later on, people designed what was truly defined as real artificial intelligence under the framework of Bi Ying’s algorithm. However, these smart robots tried to subvert humans.

After resolving the doomsday crisis, people studied the development of smart robots. They believed that Bi Ying, the initiator of smart artificial intelligence, had deliberately left loopholes in the algorithm, allowing smart robots to inherit the evil side of his character. This resulted in a crisis that almost destroyed humanity…
