Rebirth of the Godly Prodigal

“Hahaha!” Hong Dali violently patted his shoulder. “That’s the way, why talk all this bullshit with me when everyone knows that I’m a prodigal. It’s just spending a bit of money, it’s nothing much. Yup, bring your team here directly tomorrow. This building still has quite a lot of space, you guys can just work here before we have a better location for you. Since, currently, the fourth to seventh floors are empty, you can just pick any floor. If you need assistants, materials and such, just ask.”

“This…” Le Anxuan was a bit dazed. He obtained 20 million of capital just like that? At first, he thought that it would be good enough if he was able to get two to three million, but he didn’t expect that value to be tenfold.

“OK!” At this moment, there wasn’t any need to hesitate. He should just gather his team and move here. Le Anxian furiously nodded. “I will bring my entire team here tomorrow at 8:00 AM!”

“Then, it’s settled!” Hong Dali was very satisfied with his decisiveness. “By that time, I shall reward each of you 10,000 yuan for pocket money!”

Look at this, look, this is Young Master’s resolution! 10,000 yuan each for pocket money!

Actually, speaking of which, Le Anxuan’s team was already a mature team. Getting sponsorships shouldn’t be a problem for him normally. It wasn’t an overstatement to say that if they were willing to enter the entertainment industry and do something like gaming or filming, they definitely wouldn’t end up in such a pathetic state. At least, getting 10,000 as tips shouldn’t be difficult.

The problem was that this group of people had a strong sense of individualism, they definitely wouldn’t be willing to be controlled by anyone.

Their thinking was that they would do their own inventions, their sponsors couldn’t interfere with what they created, but just be in charge of giving them money. Of course, as to whether or not the item they created would be useful or not, that couldn’t be guaranteed.

Therefore, which company would want to accept such a team? The company needed to give them money but couldn’t get what they wanted, wasn’t that just squandering?

As a result, Le Anxuan’s team ended up suffering…

But now, with Hong Dali, this superprodigal as their sponsor, both parties were happy with the result.

Hong Dali wasn’t concerned at all with what they would develop and create as long as it was something fun. He was happier the more money they required as this would mean that it would be simple for him to complete his mission. Le Anxuan was also very happy too as this meant that they could do research according to their own ideas and thinking. Le Anxuan and his team didn’t have any wild ambitions and weren’t really concerned with money—If they really wanted to earn money, they wouldn’t have ended up in such a state.

Even so, Hong Dali was still not satisfied. He directly asked Lin Chuyin, “Chuyin, why don’t you play with them?”

“Oh.” Lin Chuyin, this emotionless technological geek, unexpectedly didn’t have any specific plans or direction for her future research, so she nodded and agreed without even giving it a thought. “OK, since it’s fine for me to do research on anything.”

“Hahaha! Le Anxuan, right? From now on, I shall just call you Brother Le.” Hong Dali violently patted his shoulder. “Let’s wish us a happy collaboration in the future!”

“A happy collaboration!” Le Anxuan was very happy. “We definitely will not let you down, Young Master!”

“OK!”

Lastly, Hong Dali named their laboratory Photon Force Laboratory, as a commemoration of an anime called “Mazinger Z” in his previous life. Then, Le Anxuan and Lin Chuyin both expressed that they didn’t have any opinions with it…

Therefore, the most awesome science research laboratory in history, Photon Force Laboratory, was thus established.

“Brother Le.” Since the name for the laboratory had been decided, Hong Dali naturally had to ask what they were researching on. “Hm, previously, I saw that the Virtual Reality Projection your team produced was quite complete already, why are you still lacking so much money now?”

Everyone else was quite curious too.

By right, during the auction, their technology was already quite complete—even if it was still lacking a bit, they still had the two million yuan paid by Hong Dali for it. But now, the money was still not enough? This didn’t make sense…

Mentioning this, Le Anxuan felt slightly embarrassed. “It’s like this. The one we sold to Young Master was an incomplete one. You should be aware that the suit you bought can only roughly illustrate the framework, there are still many details that can’t be displayed.”

Hong Dali wasn’t very sure about this, but Lin Chuyin was. “Oh, that’s right. It can only show a rough outline. Many aspects couldn’t be shown, such as the fingers.”

“Ah, I understand now.” This time, Hong Dali finally understood. “Which means to say that when you sold me this system, it could only portray a rough outline. For example, when I move my elbow, it will look like a piece of wood or robot moving, is that right?”

“Yes.” Le Anxuan explained, “There isn’t a lot of area on that suit which is used to locate the specific nodes, and there are only about 120 of these nodes. These 120 nodes can tell the rough outline of a person. Then, when connected to the computer, it can stimulate the movement of the person.

“But obviously, this isn’t enough.” Le Anxuan continued, “Young Master, think about it, the hardest part about a person’s movement is exactly areas such as the fingers, the hair, and such small places. Although the hologram on the computer can move the joints as naturally as a real person, areas such as the finger which is the most important ones are stick lacking.

“Therefore, after we obtained the funds, the later research was focused on creating these nodes for the smaller joints and the outer skin.”

Speaking up to this point, Le Anxuan’s eyes were shining. “As long as we complete this, when a person wears the suit, all of the movements will be able to be perfectly reflect into the computer! Only at this stage is the Virtual Reality Projection fully completed!”

Once he said this, everyone present understood.

The one Hong Dali had was just a half-completed product. The movements reflected in the computer were akin to robots.

But once they fully completed their research, the person reflected in the computer would be akin to a real one, able to move about like a real human.

At this time, Tang Muxin softly asked, “But even though this technology sounds very incredible, the question is, what use does it have? If we want a person’s movement in the computer or something, we can just record that from a real person, why the need to make this at all?”

Her question was simple and also very direct, but this was exactly the part that Le Anxuan and his team were most embarrassed about—they themselves also didn’t know what this technology could be used for…

Actually, what Tang Muxin said was not wrong. This was just putting a person’s movement into the computer, but there was a much easier way to do that—just use a recorder…

Therefore, Le Anxuan was quite embarrassed. “This… We still haven’t thought of it yet…” Speaking up to this point, he got a bit nervous. “But I believe that this technology definitely has a use for it, it definitely has, it’s 100% useful!”

Seeing his nervousness, everyone instantly laughed. Ling Xiaoyi helplessly said, “This person isn’t even sure of the use of something he created himself, sigh…”

“You are all embarrassing! You are all really embarrassing me!” Unexpectedly, Hong Dali shook his head. “Do you all understand what is called the romance of the second dimension? Do you understand what is called the dream of geeks? If you don’t, then don’t say anything. In my view, this Virtual Reality Projection is really incredible! Super incredible! Extremely incredible!”

Tang Muxin wasn’t convinced. “Then, Dali, tell us, how is this technology incredible? So what even if it can change a third dimension person into a second dimension person? That can be done by asking someone to do an anime—the actions they draw out aren’t bad too!”

Hong Dali decisively shook his head. “It’s not comparable, not comparable! Hahaha! I just thought of something—this technology, it is really too useful, it must be useful, it is totally invincible!”

“Are you for real?” Upon hearing Hong Dali’s words, everyone expressed that they didn’t understand. Although this technology sounded very incredible, its actual use in the real world was obviously not very large. Yet Hong Dali said that it was invincible, this caused everyone to be quite surprised.

“Of course, it’s real!” Hong Dali laughed loudly and said, “You all still remember that virtual character that I talked about, Hatsune Miku, right? Once this technology is completed, Hatsune Miku will be able to come out!”

“Hatsune Miku?” Tang Muxin repeated the name a few times and suddenly asked, “Dali, does this name refers to the future Sister Chuyin?”

“Haha, something like that!” Hong Dali’s eyes were shining. “Doesn’t Chuyin have the Holographic Projection Technology. Xinxin, think about it. If—I mean IF we use this Virtual Reality Projection to turn people from real life into second dimension characters to sing and dance about, then use this Holographic Projection Technology to project it, what do you think the effect will be?”

“This…” Hearing Hong Dali say this, everyone was astonished.

What he was saying was to bring the second dimension right in front of people, to the point that they couldn’t even tell which was real and which wasn’t!

Second dimension characters appearing in the third dimension!?

Oh, what the heck, how awesome would that be! They were already excited just thinking about it!

Everyone was astonished, Tang Muxin was even looking at Hong Dali with worshiping eyes. “Dali, you are really awesome! Just nice, I’m learning to dance now, so if I wear the suit and dance, I will be able to become a second dimension character dancing too?”

“That’s right.” Hong Dali proudly nodded and said, “Xinxin, you are in charge of the dance movements. Then, Chuyin is in charge of character processing. By that time, Chuyin will be able to become a second dimension character and appear in front of everyone. Think about it, how surprised will they be!?”
