Homo sapiens

November 27, 2017.

The Calagua Islands in Luzon are still hot, and personnel from a professional acceptance company completed the final acceptance work of the laboratory.

Li Qingye, who found no major problems, asked Fang Xincheng to pay the completion payment to Xinhai Company. However, according to the contract, there was still 5% of the balance that had not been paid.

In fact, this is also an industry rule. The final payment is usually settled after a period of time after it is officially put into use.

The contract between Homo Sapiens and Xinhai Company stipulates that the final payment will be settled to the other party only if there are no major problems within 18 months after it is officially put into use.

Li Qingye, who returned to Calagua Island, summoned a group of management personnel.

"The company's shrimp and pomfret farming this year only made a total profit of US$420,000. Although it's not too much, fortunately there was no loss. Thank you for your hard work, Tashi."

Tashi showed his big white teeth and said with a smile: "The weather is better this year, and we are more lucky."

Li Qingye turned to Li Jinglan and ordered: "Jinglan, please discuss with Tashi and give some bonuses to the employees of the breeding base."

Li Jinglan stopped taking notes and then nodded: "OK, I'll arrange it as soon as possible."

"Then let me talk about the second thing." Li Qingye became serious: "You should understand that the company cannot continue like this. We must find new businesses, otherwise we will go bankrupt sooner or later."

Li Jinglan and others feel the same way.

The taciturn Kangnan was worried that his department would be laid off, so he rarely spoke: "Boss, how about I take a boat to the south to see the Solomon Islands?"

Li Qingye waved his hand: "There is no need, I have my own arrangements for the fleet."

After hearing that Li Qingye had an arrangement, the others did not speak, but waited for him to speak.

"You should understand that now in the Pacific, especially in the northwest Pacific, wild fishery resources are becoming increasingly scarce. Ocean fishing is a dead end, so turning to aquaculture is the new direction."

Li Jinglan, who stopped taking notes, had worked hard before and understood Li Qingye's thinking very well, but aquaculture was not easy to do.

After all, Homo sapiens company now has shrimp and pomfret farming. This kind of technology content is relatively low, and it is almost a low-street breeding species. At most, it can only earn a hard-earned money.

Li Qingye continued: "Jiwei shrimp and pomfret have no in-depth value. Just maintain the status quo. The next breeding species our company will develop is this..."

The slide screen behind him immediately projected a fish.

"Eel?" Tashi frowned and blurted out: "Boss, the cost of eel farming is very high, and the amount of eel fry caught has become less and less in recent years. It is difficult for us to buy a large amount of fry."

Kangnan also reminded: "Boss, Tashi is right. Eel fry can only be caught and cannot be artificially reproduced. Our company has fished near the Luzon Trench before, and now the number of wild eels is too small."

But Li Qingye was confident. He smiled and asked: "It is precisely because artificial reproduction is impossible that it is worth our investment. Otherwise, do you think the laboratory I invested 50 million US dollars in is used to create biological and chemical weapons?"

"Uh..." Li Jinglan immediately realized that a biological laboratory with such a huge investment must be researching something.

“I plan to study eel artificial breeding technology. If we can breed eel fry at low cost, we will gain a huge market.

do you know? During the previous peak period, global eel consumption was 220,000 tons, with an average selling price of US$15 to US$30 per kilogram, and a total output value of US$3.3 to US$6.6 billion. This is not the limit of the eel industry, but the depletion of wild resources. Limitation, if low-cost artificial reproduction can be achieved, then this will definitely be a tens of billions industry. "

Hearing the cake drawn by Li Qingye, everyone became breathless. The eel industry is indeed a cake.

"Furthermore, I have studied the relevant information on artificially propagated eels for more than half a year and found that the Japanese already have relevant technology, but the production cost is relatively high. What we have to do is to find low-cost mass production technology. I already have some knowledge in this regard. Got the idea.”

Hearing this, Li Jinglan immediately expressed his support. That's all. In addition, the company belongs to Li Qingye. Anyway, if the investment fails, it will be a big deal for him to find a job again.

No one else had an opinion either.

Next, Li Qingye arranged work.

First, let Li Jinglan take people to the southern Fujian province of China to purchase a batch of semi-mature or mature cultured eels, and then transport them back to Calagua Island.

Tashi freed up six ponds for breeding shrimps and transformed them into eel farms.

Kangnan took the fishing boat to the area around the Luzon Trench and tried to catch some glass eels (young eels).

As tasks are arranged one by one, the entire company becomes busy.

This is also Li Qingye's purpose. After all, it would be too strange to invest in such a large project without any explicit research projects.

Of course, this eel research project is not a cover, he intends to do it for real.

On the one hand, it is to conceal the true situation of the biological laboratory; on the other hand, it is also to find a profit-making project for the Homo sapiens company, so as not to sit back and have nothing.

Within the experimental base.

After he passed through the layers of security systems, he did not start the experiment immediately. Instead, he rechecked the computer system in the base.

After calling up the underlying data of the computer system, Li Qingye raised his glasses: "As expected."

There are quite a few backdoors hidden in the system, and some can even allow the computer to actively send signals and covertly send information through nearby mobile phones or laptops.

These system backdoors are most likely secretly set up by computer manufacturers, and even Xinhai Company may not know about them.

He re-edited and modified these backdoors, but he did not completely block them. Instead, he edited a fake database. Even if the backdoors transmit information, it is still false information.

On the other side, he readjusted the servers and used one of the small servers as an obvious loophole. The remaining servers completely blocked the loopholes and completely isolated the network.

Even the fan of the refrigerator is locked to several fixed frequencies, cutting off any possibility of transmitting signals to the outside.

In addition to the computer system, he also carefully checked the operating systems of other devices several times, and also found many backdoors, some for stealing secrets, and some to cause the equipment to malfunction "earlier".

When he thought about the careful thinking behind these scientific instrument manufacturers, he was very glad that the instrument information storage and computers of Jiangcheng Laboratory had been completely destroyed.

If it weren't for an extra careful mind, once the equipment of Jiangcheng Laboratory was recycled by those manufacturers or carefully tested, some data on the Jianmu Factor would most likely be leaked.

After recording the equipment where the problem was found, he quickly removed these backdoors, so that he could conduct experiments with confidence.

But when he thought that many of those manufacturers were also suppliers of spare parts for computers and mobile phones, Li Qingye thought about the issue of mobile phones and laptops.

He asked Chen Jianxiong, who was in charge of security, to adjust the security measures inside and outside the scientific research base.

For example, he originally planned to use a walkie-talkie as a communication device for internal and external use, but now Li Qingye feels that the walkie-talkie is not safe.

He sent people to Huaqiangbei in Pengcheng to purchase a batch of bulk electronic spare parts. He then DIYed a wired telephone and laid out internal telephone lines on Calagua Island.

As for radios and mobile phones, they can only be used in the dock area. Before going to other areas, these communication equipment must be removed and handed over to security personnel for safekeeping.

Completely isolate mobile phones and the like from getting close to the scientific research base. Under this strict defense, the inside of the scientific research base can basically prevent the leakage of information.

Of course, these means are not enough.

Because there is another secret in this world called "forced attack".
