Reborn in 2014: A One-Man Tycoon

For the next few days, Meng Chuan practically glued himself to two places.

The Green Gang headquarters underground at Fu-Hsing University, or the sofa facing the floor-to-ceiling window in the study.

The leaves of the old locust tree outside the window keep falling.

Meng Chuan didn't even bother to lift his eyelids.

The same problem keeps popping into my head:

How can we get a clear picture of the observation process?

Sending in an undercover agent is the best approach.

If we could get a member of the Green Gang to infiltrate the "living model".

They were taken away by the observers along with the death row inmates.

We might be able to discover their hideout.

We need to figure out what they're going to do with all these creatures.

But that's not realistic.

First is memory.

Observers might be able to directly access memories in the human brain.

Memory cannot be faked.

The idea of ​​reading memories might sound unbelievable.

With current Earth technology, this technology is still in the theoretical stage.

But it's possible that observers have already achieved that.

If we actually send someone, wouldn't all those doubts in his mind about the Green Gang, the Mars project, and the observers become public knowledge?

At that point, forget about going undercover; you might just get burned yourself.

Secondly, there is communication.

Even if you're lucky and the observer doesn't read your memories, and someone actually manages to infiltrate the area, how do you get the message out?

They can even interfere with starship signals, so ordinary communication equipment is useless against them.

Moreover, no one knows where the observer's lair is; the distance is too great, and information transmission is too difficult.

You can't expect an undercover agent to send signals with their mind, can you?

"It's difficult..."

Meng Chuan sighed as he stared at the empty teacup, his fingertips unconsciously drawing circles on the table.

Meng Chuan couldn't sleep or eat properly until he figured out the observer's intentions.

Whether or not this matter is undertaken, it will jeopardize the entire human civilization.

Meng Chuan even considered disguising himself as a death row inmate to sneak in.

But he rejected the idea as soon as it arose.

Once he disappears, who will take over the mess on Mars and the affairs of the Green Gang?

Moreover, the observer should know him.

There was absolutely no way he could get away with it.

"Staring blankly again?"

A familiar voice rang out at the door, and Liu Qian walked in carrying a bowl of hot porridge.

Place the bowl on the coffee table in front of him.

"It's been three days already. You haven't eaten or slept. Are you planning to turn yourself into a dried-up corpse?"

Meng Chuan looked up at her, and the bloodshot eyes made Liu Qian frown.

"Has something happened to the Green Gang?"

Liu Qian sat down next to Meng Chuan and held his hand with some tenderness.

She knew that the young man in front of her had been keeping many things on his mind lately.

In fact, he had already achieved great success and no longer needed to worry about anything.

"If it's difficult, just tell me. We're husband and wife, what can't we share?"

Liu Qian said softly.

Although Liu Qian knew that if Meng Chuan couldn't solve it, she probably couldn't either.

But she really felt sorry for Meng Chuan.

For this reason, she even put aside her job as principal and took leave to stay home with Meng Chuan.

Liu Qian's words warmed Meng Chuan's heart.

He opened his mouth, wanting to spill everything about the observers, Mars, and living samples.

It's really painful to keep some secrets in your heart.

But Meng Chuan swallowed the words back down his throat.

This is a huge matter; Liu Qian is just a university president.

Having grown accustomed to a peaceful life, Meng Chuan didn't want to drag her into this mess.

"No big deal."

He forced a smile, picked up the bowl of porridge, and took a sip.

"It's just... I've hit a snag. I wanted to send someone to investigate something, but once that person goes in, either the other side will see right through them, or they won't be able to send the information back. It's a dilemma."

Meng Chuan's statement was vague.

He knew Liu Qian was worried, and he couldn't comfort her without saying something.

Liu Qian didn't press the matter further.

She knew Meng Chuan's personality; asking about things he shouldn't say would be pointless.

She simply patted Meng Chuan's hand gently:

"No matter how difficult the hurdle, there's always a way to get through it. You're just too serious about it."

Meng Chuan didn't speak, and lowered his head to drink his porridge.

The porridge was warm, but the ice in my heart hadn't melted at all.

For the next two days, Liu Qian simply took leave and left all the matters concerning Fuxing University to Ye Xiao.

She stayed home with Meng Chuan.

She didn't urge or ask, but quietly sat next to Meng Chuan reading a book or peeling an orange for him.

Meng Chuan's condition improved slightly; at least he was able to eat, but his brows remained tightly furrowed.

Meng Chuan only noticed Liu Qian when she was packing her luggage on Friday night.

Are you going on a business trip?

"Yes. I told you about it before."

Liu Qian folded several shirts and put them into the box:

"The school's biology department has partnered with a foreign wildlife conservation organization on a project that involves a trip to Africa."

Meng Chuan was stunned.

It seems he did say that, but he was a bit distracted at the time and didn't take it to heart.

"Does Fu-Hsing University still handle wildlife matters?"

"It's not about managing, it's about providing technical support."

Liu Qian explained with a smile:

"You! You are the principal, I am the vice principal. You don't even know anything about our school."

Liu Qian explained.

It turns out that Fu-Hsing University has developed a biochip.

It is so small that it can be implanted in animals.

If an animal is killed by poachers, the chip will transmit the poacher's location and even physical characteristics via quantum signals the instant its heart stops beating.

She picked up a thin, transparent piece about the size of a fingernail from the table and handed it to Meng Chuan:

"This is the sample. It uses the principle of quantum entanglement, so the signal is impervious to distance and cannot be intercepted. Now that the technology is mature, we'll go to Africa and install it on elephants and lions to test its effectiveness."

Quantum signals...disregard distance...

As Meng Chuan held the chip, he suddenly felt a "buzz" in his head, as if something had exploded.

He suddenly looked up at Liu Qian, his eyes flashing with an alarming light.

"You just said... this chip can transmit messages within an animal's body using quantum signals?"

"Yes! What's wrong?"

Liu Qian was startled by Meng Chuan's huge reaction.

Now in 2027, research in quantum mechanics has become quite mature.

Thanks to the collaboration between the Startup Dream City and Fu-Hsing University, Fu-Hsing University is now a global leader in quantum mechanics research.

At that moment, Meng Chuan almost burst out laughing.

If human infiltrators aren't an option, surely animals will work!

The observers need large mammals, such as lions, elephants, and bison... Aren't these exactly the animals that Liu Qian and her team are going to protect?

If this quantum chip were implanted into these animals and then "sent" to observers...

Wouldn't that be equivalent to installing countless hidden cameras in the enemy's stronghold?

Observers can interfere with radio waves and block satellites, but they can't intercept quantum signals, can they?

Moreover, animals have no memory, so even if their memories are read, they won't be able to glean anything useful.

Even if he did manage to read it, what would that have to do with Meng Chuan?

He had no idea that these animals had been implanted with microchips.

He just happened to catch a large mammal that had been implanted with a chip.

"That's great...that's really great!"

Meng Chuan suddenly hugged Liu Qian, startling her.

"Have you... suddenly gone mad?"

"Not crazy, not crazy!"

Meng Chuan released her, picked up the chip, and examined it closely, the worry in his eyes completely dissipating.

"When are you leaving for this business trip? Hurry up and go!"

"Are you... are you kicking me out? You wouldn't be sneaking off to 'eat' something else while I'm out, would you?"

Liu Qian looked at Meng Chuan with suspicion.

Meng Chuan's smile instantly froze on his face:

"No...no way! How could that be? My loyalty to you is as clear as day and night. If I were to betray you, may I be struck by lightning..."

"Boom!"

A thunderclap suddenly echoed through the once clear sky...
