"Currently, it's about 3 million pieces per year."

"3... 3 million?!" Mr. Liu was dumbfounded.

Keep in mind this is just the initial phase of production. 3 million a year, isn't that going to take up more than half of Hua Wei's total production capacity?

Not enough for ourselves, yet prioritizing external supply? What kind of operation is this?

Recalling how just now he was asking for some samples back for research, seeming like he owed a favor, his tone suddenly became a bit sour.

"For me, it's just a few samples, but for others, you're giving 3 million right away, huh?"

Mr. Yu slightly twitched the corners of his mouth and didn't explain.

Say nothing of 3 million, even if they wanted our entire production capacity, we'd have to provide it...

After all, they are the true owners of the technology...

"In any case, if this technology alliance can truly play its role, creating a super ecological zone, it would absolutely be beneficial for us."

At least... in terms of system ecology, we won't be controlled by others."

Mr. Yu was obviously referring to the "Google family bucket" banning Hua Wei on their own.

As a result, Hua Wei's share of the overseas market has been shrinking drastically, which is one reason Hua Wei unhesitatingly supports Gao Yuan in forming this alliance.

Mr. Liu, upon hearing this, couldn't help but sigh with concern.

"Yes, but the one being controlled isn't just your company..."

Although escaped disaster thanks to Meng Lang's guidance, and even strengthened his control over Jingdong, eliminating internal threats, it still brought the nearly public conflict between him and several major investors.

He's unsure whether, in the future, the opponents will openly attack him, just like they've targeted Hua Wei.

Following Hua Wei's footsteps, he might also have the idea of "banding together for warmth."

At least in the "common prosperity" business philosophy, Jingdong and Hua Wei naturally stand out from other entrepreneurs...

The two exchanged a knowing smile, seeing the understanding in each other's eyes...

...

"Silent Hill" project base.

"Xiao Yu, time for lunch, today's meal is lychee pork, according to your request, I've added extra sweetness~"

"Woof~"

Sticking out its tongue to lick the steaming food placed before it.

"Awoo~" with a look of enjoyment, it squinted its eyes after biting into a piece of lychee pork, even its mouth curled into a smile.

It's hard to imagine such a human-like expression appearing on a dog's face...

"Tap tap~"

Using its dog paws to tap twice on the ground, the kind nurse smiled.

"Glad you're satisfied. After eating you have two hours of entertainment time, then comes the culture class. If you perform well, dinner will include your favorite honey cake~"

"Woof woof~" Despite being dog barks, you could hear the joy in the sound.

After barking, it seemed to realize, emitting a haughty "hmph" from its mouth, then continued to enjoy the food.

Once the plate of lychee pork was devoured, even the sauce licked clean, a large screen suddenly lit up not far in front of the dog.

After the classic Fox Film Company opening scene, accompanied by a burst of music...

[Welcome to Pandora, humans...]

The dog watched the movie intently while someone watched the dog through a one-way observation window...

Mr. Hu, witnessing all this, couldn't help but twitch his mouth again while looking at the so-called cultural course schedule in his hand.

It's virtually indistinguishable from his granddaughter's elementary school curriculum.

"This is the result of your research over time? Teaching it to watch Avatar while providing it with nine-year compulsory education?"

Beside him, a lab technician in a white coat explained with a peculiar expression.

"Mr. Hu, initially, we were confused too, but looking at the effects, they're not completely meaningless.

Even though the entity still refuses direct communication, at least it's not as hostile as before and is more willing to express simple emotions through body language.

The hardest part is always the first step. From a biological psychology standpoint, this indicates gradually breaking through its psychological defenses, subtly exerting mental influence.

From initially triggering survival instincts through hunger, to the subsequent seemingly bizarre methods, each step has strict requirements.

Based on our psychology team's thorough analysis, this so-called '108 kinds of mental contamination methods' remarkably incorporates demand temptation, reciprocity principle‌, information induction‌, information distortion, social identity‌, authority effect, and other complex and sophisticated psychological suggestions.

You may even regard it as a 'Psychological Manipulation Technique' that's complex and incremental.

The key is, it targets this unheard-of non-human life form..."

"Psychological Manipulation Technique..." Mr. Hu raised an eyebrow. "The kind that makes them totally obedient?"

The researcher quickly waved his hand.

"That's impossible, even the world's top hypnotism only imposes limited influence on some human behaviors. Total obedience? No suggestion could achieve that.

The more intelligent the species, the more this holds true.

Just like taming a bird of prey or training a dog, even spending dozens of years doesn't guarantee complete obedience. In the end, it's about breaking through the biological psychological barrier in some way, increasing identification.

However, looking at the process and effect, this Psychological Manipulation Technique seems to involve a certain degree of 'consciousness ideology indoctrination'..."

"Consciousness ideology indoctrination?" Mr. Hu was puzzled.

Countless disputes in the human world ultimately boil down to conflicts over ideology.

From national policy disagreements between left-wing and right-wing, to major clashes over skin color, ethnicity, and ideologies, all essentially revolve around ideological conflict.

Yet...

Indoctrinating a non-human entity with consciousness ideology? What are they trying to achieve?

"Is there any other conclusion?" Mr. Hu asked.

"Well... not yet, but we deduce that creating such a highly targeted psychological suggestion plan, the entity likely wasn't their first encounter with this unknown species.

Perhaps... they've been researching it for a long time."

"Hmm... So, they probably have similar live samples?"

From the orphanage battle, it's clear Meng Lang's organization is not wholly ignorant about this species.

If they had caught one or two for research before... then it's understandable.

Meaning, the research we're doing might have already been conducted by the opponents more than once, no wonder they freely offered such a precious sample...

This realization somewhat disappointed Mr. Hu, who hoped to exchange research findings for some intel.

He shook his head, put away some small thoughts, and proceeded as previously agreed, sending all experimental results in encrypted files...

...

Soon, Meng Lang received the encrypted confidential files sent from Mr. Hu's side via special encrypted channels.

Viewing the specially "silenced" processed video footage.

Depicting scenes where the white-haired dog waited drooling for food, reluctantly attended nine-year compulsory education, or stared at the movie screen intently, wagging its tail with a gleeful expression...

Meng Lang rubbed his chin, revealing a peculiar smile.

This attitude has a certain flavor of being lost in enjoyment...

He couldn't help recalling a chapter in the autobiography where Xiao Yu pondered the Night Demon Clan's racial traits.

[Neural parasitic organism? Such an intriguing species setup.]

[If they split offspring from the parent body... how do they ensure they won't become schizophrenic?]

[For example, ants as social insects, would there be one pretending to loaf away in the nest?]

Now it seems.

The first ant loafing away in the nest...

Seems to have appeared...
