Chapter 493: Snowman's New Food
After hearing Zhuge Xu's words, Xia fell silent.
This is indeed a solution, but compared to transactions with the military, Zhuge Xu's plan will definitely significantly reduce the transaction volume.
The most important thing is that if they cooperate with the association, the protagonist of this transaction will change from their Xia Group to the Super God Evolution Research Institute.
But if he refused, with the current progress of the Xia Foundation research team, even if they succeeded in their research, it would probably take a long time to reach the level of the Emerald Dream.
On the other hand, Zhuge Xu, the proposer of this plan, was very calm.
He had actually thought about the Xia Group's idea, but he didn't bring it up because he was concerned that players might confuse reality with the game.
However, if it is not used as a regular training device but as an assessment device, then the problem will be solved.
And in this way, the initiative of this project is completely in their hands.
Everyone knows now that the Super God Evolution Research Institute and the Association are basically in the same boat.
Bai Qi also figured out the key, but his brows became even more furrowed.
In order to achieve this operation, he must develop a device outside of the Emerald Dream that allows people to interact with dreams.
The prerequisite for this technology is that he must first create a server that can handle the demand - a dream world that is no less powerful than the Emerald Dream.
“It’s a bit difficult~”
Bai Qi scratched his hair with a headache, but he had already started to find a solution, but Xia made a decision at this time.
"Then, on behalf of the Xia Consortium, I agree to this plan."
Xia Ya let out a long breath, looked at Zhuge Xu seriously, and said, "Our Xia Group will be responsible for all expenses of this research project, but the ownership of the research results needs to be handed over to the Xia Group."
"No, the research costs can be borne by our Super God Evolution Research Institute, but the research results can only belong to the Super God Evolution Research Institute."
"Then our Xia Group can bear 50% of the consumption, and we will pay the corresponding patent fees, but we need exclusive production and operation rights."
"Yes, but all the data of the results need to be monitored by our Super God Evolution Research Institute. If it violates our previous agreement, we have the right to revoke these two rights."
"Then, deal!"
The two men shook hands vigorously and reached a deal at lightning speed, and then looked at Bai Qi in unison.
"So, the question now is when will Master Bai Qi be able to complete this technology?"
Xia looked at Bai Qi and said, "With the Emerald Dream, I think similar research shouldn't be difficult, right?"
"Sorry, it's hard for me to say. After all, the difference between the combat system and the leisure system is huge. I can't guarantee when I can complete it."
"Besides, I don't want to make any changes to the Emerald Dream, so I may have to start over."
Bai Qi shook his head and did not make a promise easily.
"I see."
Char nodded slightly when he heard this. The main theme of Emerald Dream is leisure and stress relief, which is why it is loved by the citizens of the Everbright Federation.
It is indeed unrealistic to expect Bai Qi and others to slap himself in the face for the Xia Group .
"In that case, I'll have to trouble the Super God Evolution Research Institute."
Xia Ya said: "That's it for now. The Xia Consortium will send the specific contract to you later."
Xia Ya nodded, then looked at Xia Xuan beside him and said, "There is one more thing, which is a personal matter. My brother Xia Xuan is very interested in the mechanical weapons of the Super God Evolution Research Institute. I wonder if there is an opportunity for him to study with Professor Chu?"
"Studying with Professor Chu?"
Bai Qi looked at Xia Xuan curiously, while Xia Xuan turned his head away in embarrassment.
Is there anything more shameful than working for someone who once defeated him?
"I can't decide, but I can ask for you."
Bai Qi thought about it and didn't refuse.
Xia Ya only said that he would study with Professor Chu, but he didn't say that he would join the Super God Evolution Research Institute. Anyway, the core content has always been studied by the trusted team, so Xia Xuan can be left to the external team.
Why not take advantage of free labor?
"Thank you very much."
Xia Ya smiled, stood up and said, "In that case, I won't bother you any more. Master Bai Qi, please remember to come visit the Xia Corporation when you have time in the future."
"Okay, I'll be there when I have time."
Bai Qi nodded, sent Xia Ya and Xia Xuan out, and then returned to the office again.
"Bai Qi, you seemed a little confused just now. Is there a technical problem?"
Zhuge Xu looked at Bai Qi seriously.
The reason why he agreed so readily and even gave up the patent ownership was because Emerald Dream had already helped Bai Qi seize the core patent for this type of technology.
Even if the patent was handed over to the Xia Group, they would still have to give a portion of the profits to Bai Qi. Adding the profits from after-sales, it would already be considered a large piece of meat cut from the Xia Group.
Moreover, the other party has already agreed that the Super God Evolution Research Institute will not bear any losses if the research fails. This is equivalent to them getting the money for free to do the research, so they will not lose money in any way.
But if possible, Zhuge Xu still hopes that Bai Qi can figure it out.
In the business world, there are no eternal enemies, and the Xia Group already has cooperation with them, so there is no problem in deepening the relationship.
“A little.”
Bai Qi nodded and said, "The dream device is easy to solve. We just need to modify the Emerald Series. The key now is to find a server similar to the Emerald Dream."
"Well... say something that uncle can understand."
"To put it simply, uncle, you have to find a secret realm of dreams first, then we can do the subsequent things."
"Understood. I'll have someone collect them right away."
Zhuge Xu nodded, looked at Bai Qi who was frowning and thinking about a solution, and said: "Bai Qi, you don't have to worry. Anyway, even if it fails, we don't have to bear the loss."
"But it would be best if it could be completed. As long as this opening is opened, our Super God Evolution Research Institute will be able to have more business in the future, which will be very beneficial to our future development."
"Um."
Bai Qi nodded, but still didn't stop thinking.
Otherwise, let Chongcao be the server?
With the Dream Weaver, the problem of dream interaction can be easily solved, but this makes it impossible to popularize it in other places.
Tsk, what a hassle.
Bai Qi scratched his head and put the matter aside for the time being.
Anyway, the formal contract hasn't been signed yet, and the Xia Group hasn't said when it will be completed, so we'll take our time.
"By the way, Uncle Zhuge, is Granny Fan still here?"
Bai Qi looked at Zhuge Xu first and asked.
"She left the day before you came. She said she was needed in the sea area, and she also took a game cabin with her."
Zhuge Xu smiled and said, "Bai Qi, how did you manage to trick so many legendary creatures? This operation is comparable to that of a martial emperor."
"Maybe, I'm handsome?"
…
The contract from the Xia Group was delivered quickly, along with the first batch of funds.
Zhuge Xu was not vague and quickly set up a special research group to begin research.
Although the dream secret realm that Bai Qi requested has not yet been found, the dream interaction device and combat simulation system still need to be studied early.
After all, this is an actual combat simulation dream, and you can't just teleport into it like the Emerald Dream.
Xia Xuan, who was responsible for escorting these things, successfully joined Professor Chu's team and became a glorious worker.
As a key figure in this research project, Bai Qi is still immersed in his own research.
"This soul-transferring curse is indeed much more complicated than the soul-sending curse."
Bai Qi looked haggard. He scratched his hair, which had become a mess, and asked Yu, "Yu, what is the result of the deduction?"
"Grandpa, out of the 381 scenarios we have deduced so far, there are zero successful results."
Yu ruthlessly stabbed Bai Qi with another blow. After hearing this, Bai Qi simply lay down on the ground and stopped studying.
"Alchemy is indeed different from runes."
Bai Qi closed his eyes and rested for a while, then temporarily handed over the analysis task to Yu, and ran to the Secret Realm of Time to check the status of several pets.
Except for Gamma, who also has his own secret realm, and Shuke, who is busy tinkering with things, all other pets were driven into the secret realm of time by Bai Qi.
You know, the lifespan of pets is much longer than that of humans, and under normal circumstances, as pets age, their strength will gradually increase.
Although Alpha and the others, except Delta, had no way to gain insights into the time system, the six extra hours a day were indeed of great help to the growth of their pets.
A pile of sand makes a tower.
Even without mentioning this, using the Secret Realm of Time to offset the consumption of the Evolution Egg, or to practice skills here, is also quite good.
Bloopers.
(Master, you are here.)
Sensing Bai Qi approaching, Delta ran over immediately.
"How do you feel? Has this secret time realm been of any help to you?"
Bloopers.
(It’s very helpful. Delta’s time rewinding is getting longer and longer, and the control of time stagnation is getting more and more precise.)
"That's good."
Bai Qi nodded with satisfaction, then looked aside.
Alpha was training at the base with the Seven Swords as usual, while Beta was meditating to improve his mental strength under Jerry's urging. As for Cordyceps, he was dealing with matters in the Emerald Dream in his sleep.
As for the bull snake, this guy has been making the same movement ever since Bai Qi obtained the secret realm of time. It seems like he has gone into hibernation?
"Well, what is Jetta eating? Don't tell me that the ingredients I bought earlier have been eaten?"
In order to help Jieta quickly strengthen its strength, Bai Qi bought a bunch of ice materials before leaving the Sixth Tower, but now they are gone?
Bloopers.
(Jeta had already finished eating. These were ice potions from the Super God Evolution Research Institute.)
"Ice potion, when did the Super God Evolution Research Institute start selling potions?"
