Setting up companies and factories was something Ding Yun was more than familiar with, so this aspect proceeded smoothly and rapidly as time went on without any difficulty.
Furthermore, the chips she released were not drugs.
They did not require any pharmacological experiments.
It was only necessary to test that they were harmless to the human body.
Therefore, in less than three months, Ding Yun had everything prepared, including inventory for the press conference, and was ready for a full launch.
She prepared to release two types of chips.
One was a chip that could be implanted anywhere on the body and serve as a normal communication device.
The main technology used was brainwave connection technology.
As long as it was inside the human body, even in a toe,
it could be used normally through brainwave connection.
The drawback was that it could only make calls or send text messages; it could not be used for video calls or watching television, as ordinary people's brainwaves were relatively weak and could not support such technologies.
The other type was implanted at the back of the head, directly connecting to the human brain's neurons. This chip had a much more comprehensive function, capable of video, image, and text communication without issues, and could even advance to develop holographic games without major problems, completely replacing mobile phones.
As for potential concerns about scanning for payment.
As long as the merchant also had a corresponding chip implanted,
eye contact would be sufficient for direct communication and payment.
In short, it was extremely convenient to use.
When Ding Yun started releasing the chips, initially, there would not be many interested buyers. After all, she was neither a big company nor well-known, and the product she sold seemed somewhat illogical by current standards.
But the world was never short of
people who wanted to try new things.
So, although her chips sold in small quantities, some were indeed sold. As those chips were sold and used by the buyers, their miraculous nature quickly exploded on the internet.
For a time, countless people followed suit and bought them.
After purchasing, they would enthusiastically recommend them to others.
Because being able to communicate with others without a phone, and connect with others using one's own biological energy without charging, was incredibly cool. Not to mention that the more advanced chips connected to neurons could also watch TV, etc.; the experience of watching TV in one's mind was far better than on even the largest TV screen, comparable to VR.
In short, Ding Yun made a fortune, and everyone generally believed this was definitely the future direction.
After this continued for half a year.
When the chips were purchased by many people for research and analysis,
relevant national agencies approached her for cooperation. However, unexpectedly, they did not ask where her creations came from, only seeking technical cooperation. Ding Yun was naturally unwilling.
Her original intention was to attract the attention of national agencies and then hand over all her possessions, as long as the country provided some compensation or profit sharing.
After all, managing a company and controlling public opinion was quite troublesome.
She had no intention of getting married or having children, so she had nowhere to pass on the responsibility. She couldn't just keep doing this forever.
Therefore, Ding Yun could only adopt the strategy of "if the mountain will not come to Muhammad, Muhammad must go to the mountain."
She directly confessed to the personnel sent by the relevant agencies.
She stated that she did not know the principles behind it, that she had accidentally obtained some fortuitous encounters, which allowed her to establish this company. Cooperation was possible, but they would have to research it themselves. She could provide everything, and they could do their own research.
Furthermore, she could also hand over the chip company.
All she wanted was profit sharing.
Ding Yun's actions instead bewildered the people from the relevant agencies. They had already discovered that the source of Ding Yun's technology might be problematic, but they did not want to alert her, so they planned to cooperate slowly, deepen their understanding, and then find a way to investigate the source of the technology.
Who would have thought that Ding Yun would be so direct?
And then she revealed a source of technology they had never considered before, which would naturally cause confusion.
However, Ding Yun's extreme cooperation, and the things they saw afterward, ultimately forced them to admit that what Ding Yun said was probably true.
She had indeed obtained fortuitous encounters.
The technologies involved in these chips were indeed not from foreign countries; they were very likely from alien planets.
With this understanding, the subsequent cooperation became much smoother. Ding Yun directly handed over everything except the golden items, the Meow Star communicator, and the initial artificial intelligence to the head of the relevant agencies.
The chip company retained the main profit-sharing rights.
And then she became a hands-off manager.
After all, she had no use for too much money. Living a life where she did not have to manage anything and received billions in dividends annually was incredibly comfortable.
And all of this was done privately,
with a discreet handover.
With national intervention, especially with the involvement of many researchers, Ding Yun's originally simple chip company quickly developed many technologies related to biomedicine based on the existing technology. The researchers, by analyzing the chip manufacturing machines, extracted the technologies contained within them and applied them to other areas to extend their applications.
Holographic helmets were even developed as a result.
Correspondingly, Ding Yun returned to her original peaceful life, finally free from company affairs. Even the education of her eighth younger brother was taken over by relevant agencies, who specifically arranged several tutors for him. From then on, Ding Yun's daily life consisted solely of writing her Guide to the Meow Starers' Cosmic Travels.
As the content of her novel progressed, various spectacular alien life forms gradually appeared, and various novel alien technologies also emerged. This not only attracted a large number of readers but also attracted many experts and professors to read, attempting to find inspiration from it.
Especially those in the know within national agencies, they read Ding Yun's novel in great detail. To be precise, they were not reading a novel, but the various alien knowledge involved in it. They could not understand the Meow Starers' Alien Survival Guide that Ding Yun had given them, so they could only read Ding Yun's novel as a translated document.
In this way, they learned about aliens and the universe.
For many years thereafter, many ingenious technologies appeared domestically, and many technologies that diverged from the original scientific development emerged. This was not unrelated to the influence of Ding Yun's Meow Starers' Cosmic Travels on researchers.
As for Ding Yun's previous concern about Meow Starer invasion.
Many years later, Ding Yun discovered that while the real Meow Star communicator might indeed have a location and invasion function, the Meow Star communicator provided to her by their administration was not a genuine Meow Star communicator.
It was a replica Meow Star communicator.
Its internal positioning system had been modified. The supplies transmitted by the Meow Starers were first sent to a barren planet by the fake Meow Star communicator, and then forwarded to Ding Yun from that barren planet. The subsequent coordinates were obfuscated, and the Meow Starers could only locate the transfer point, which was that barren, lifeless planet.
This was something Ding Yun discovered more than twenty years later.
After receiving the furious roars and scolding from a higher-level Meow Star civilization, calling her a swindler, and after much research,
she finally understood.
Once she confirmed that she would not be invaded by Meow Starers and that the items she had tricked them out of were all free of hidden dangers, Ding Yun specifically handed over the items she had successively deceived from the higher-level Meow Stars over the years to the country, stating that they had recently fallen.
The authorities did not delve too deeply into this matter.
They simply awarded Ding Yun more hidden rewards.
And then continued their research and localization efforts.
