Chapter 85: Chapters 84, 85 “Ordinary” Maritime Disaster_2 Chapter 85: Chapters 84, 85 “Ordinary” Maritime Disaster_2 “It’s gone!” Kojima Hiko was still shaken. “Captain, the crew must have been eaten by it, what should we do?” the crew members asked, faces pale. “Continue the search,” Kojima Hiko tried to keep himself calm, “Also, no one is to speak about this, I need to report it up!” ... When the rescue team found Tanaka Jiro, he had already fainted. “He suffered extreme fright, but there’s nothing wrong with his body,” the doctor said. “Sea monster, don’t eat me! Ah!” Tanaka Jiro woke up from his dream to find a crowd surrounding him. “Don’t be afraid, you’re safe now,” the doctor comforted him. Tanaka Jiro was stunned for a few seconds, then burst into tears, shouting, “My brother, my friends, all killed by the sea monster! Eaten alive!” The crowd remained silent, until one investigator said, “Mr. Tanaka, could you please describe what happened?” “At the time, we were reeling in the net and discovered a huge hole ripped in it...” Tanaka Jiro recalled, trembling with fear. “Very well.” The investigator had already noted it down. “You must kill it!” Tanaka Jiro pleaded, “As long as such a monster exists, we fishermen cannot go out to sea!” “Rest assured, we will handle it.” The investigator quickly reported the information. “I am certain it was the sea monster, we saw it with our own eyes, and we have video evidence!” In a secret meeting room, Kojima Hiko was speaking. No one present held a lower position than he did. “Professor Fujikawa, what is your take?” one person asked an elderly professor with gray hair, an expert in this field. “I believe it is a mutated marine lifeform due to nuclear pollution, more aggressive than typical sea creatures!” Fujikawa Shigeo stated with a serious expression, “And I am certain that such creatures are not solitary, these mutant monsters underwater pose a threat to us!” “We must take action...” “Nonsense!” A voice interrupted him, the speaker was a prominent figure who barked angrily, “There is no sewage, no pollution, and no mutant creatures, do you understand?” “But these are the facts!” Fujikawa Shigeo tried to argue, but was immediately shouted down, “This was just a normal shipwreck, the Tanaka encountered a ship accident and everyone perished!” “Anyway, this matter must not be made public. Otherwise, we will face tremendous pressure!” Fujikawa Shigeo looked stunned; Kojima Hiko dared not speak either. They knew that if this matter were to be disclosed, it would bring enormous negative consequences to the whole of Japan. First, there would be issues with fishing, then pressure from all sides domestically, the nuclear power plant problem would again surface before the public, as well as international pressure. “Does anyone have questions?” he asked the group. Kojima Hiko was the first to lower his head, followed by Fujikawa Shigeo, and then the others. “That’s settled then!” the man said, “This incident is absolutely confidential. I do not want to hear about anyone leaking it, or you’ll settle it with your lives!” “Yes!” everyone nodded. The incident involving the Tanaka was merely a small item in the news that day, stating a ship malfunction with everyone lost. The families of the crew requested continued rescue efforts, but were directly refused. An event that should have awakened the world, vanished without a trace. ... In a certain place in Japan, some prominent figures were still discussing the matter. “There are more and more mutant creatures in the sea, something is bound to happen sooner or later!” “Reduce fishing operations in nearby waters!” “Let them be mutants, they’re just deformed creatures; arrange some whaling and patrol ships to kill them!” “Compared to our economic issues, this is minor!” To them, harm from mutant creatures was no different from harm caused by wild animals. But pollution must never be mentioned! Currently, the economic problems troubling them were more severe. “Last year, Shen Zhou made several technological breakthroughs, including in metallurgy, industrial manufacturing, automobiles, and such, which have severely impacted our related industries! If this continues, our economy will experience a major recession!” one person said. “Not just us, several other countries are in roughly the same situation.” “None of our measures have been successful.” “We cannot confront them with our strength alone!” someone said, “The Lights have already issued an invitation to us, a seven-nation conference will be held in two months to discuss economic issues!” “This time, we must intensify our efforts!” The participants would also include the UK, France, Canada, and Australia. The dramatic changes over the past year had instilled them with a strong sense of crisis, so they all responded enthusiastically to this meeting convened by Eagle. ... He Xingzhou was unaware of the events at sea, and even if he knew, he thought it quite normal. After all, so much time had passed, and there were bound to be some Zergs evolving rapidly, their appearances becoming more frequent. “Mr. He, welcome to visit. Our institute, from top to bottom, is ready!” He Xingzhou had arrived at the Microelectronics Research Institute. After several hours of communication and handover, he met two team leaders. One of them, an expert in microelectronics in his sixties, was Luo Zhenhai, an academician of the Academy of Sciences and a Level 2 executor of the Xuanwu Plan! The other, a nearly fifty-year-old female academician, was Yan Rui, an expert from the Academy of Sciences’ Optoelectronics Research Institute, also an academician of the Academy of Engineering and a Level 2 executor of the Xuanwu Plan! The Academy of Sciences’ Optoelectronics Research Institute was in the southwest region, He Xingzhou had already discussed with them last year; they had formed a team to coordinate with He Xingzhou’s plans. “Even on the first day of the Lunar New Year, everyone is working hard,” He Xingzhou shook hands with them. “All for the Xuanwu Plan, it’s not hard work.” Luo Zhenhai smiled, “Shall we begin right away?” “Our people and equipment are all ready!” Yan Rui said. “Alright!” He Xingzhou immediately began working with them. He first connected with the team on technology and research related to smart glasses. A researcher introduced, “We have collected data from research institutes across the country. Regarding smart glasses, we can produce a basic framework, with performance comparable to current smartphones and other mobile devices.” After carefully reviewing, He Xingzhou said, “There are still some defects.” “First, we cannot manufacture chips ourselves. This issue is very important.” “Second, our optical technology is outdated. The high-end lenses for smart glasses need to be imported!” “Third, our VR and AR technology is not up to par; they are merely rudimentary VR and AR technologies.” “As for the AI system, my team has completed it.” “The chip issue cannot be resolved overnight,” Luo Zhenhai said helplessly. Everyone was aware of this issue, and research institutes everywhere were working on it. “Yes.” He Xingzhou understood and said, “Our short-term goal is to quickly improve optical technology, as well as AR and VR technologies.” He set the first goal as the manufacture of high-end optical lenses. This was crucial and could be used in areas such as scratch detection on metal, glass, film, and semiconductor surfaces; chip and silicon wafer damage detection; MARK point positioning; glass-cutting machines; dispensing machines; SMT detection; paste machines; and more in industrial precision alignment, positioning, part recognition, size measurement, industrial microscopy, CCD vision alignment, and measurement devices. In straightforward terms, the smart glasses he wanted to build, or any other smart device, required high-end optical lenses. Secondly, the gene testing device that had yet to be developed could also be successfully manufactured with a super high-resolution electron microscope. Furthermore, manufacturing lithography machines, chips, and laser radar also required these! Most high-end manufacturers in this area were concentrated in Japan, Hans, and other countries. Fortunately, Shen Zhou was also gradually gaining strength in this field and had mastered some technologies.
