“Boss, this data is from Vanguard Technologies, a project about enhancing human physical fitness. The core aspect is using the characteristics of viruses to replace human cells, thereby giving people powerful self-healing abilities…”
Norman was introducing other project data he had collected when Aaron directly interrupted him.
“Is it possible for Vanguard Technologies to cooperate with us? And we don’t need to cooperate with them.”
Aaron knew more about Vanguard Technologies’ project than Norman did.
Wasn’t it just the Extremis virus? A human enhancement serum with significant flaws.
Although it did have its unique aspects, Aaron didn’t need to spend energy researching that thing now.
He could easily get one later.
“There’s no need to present me with data involving other companies’ core projects.”
Norman nodded and pulled out a few more documents from the complex stack.
“Then perhaps you might be interested in this ‘Cradle of Life’ technology led by Dr. Helen Cho, boss.”
“Cradle of Life technology? Helen Cho?”
Aaron’s eyes lit up. He finally heard a familiar name.
“Helen Cho is a renowned genetics expert. Although she’s young, she has remarkable achievements in the field of genetics.”
“The Cradle of Life technology is a special technology she conceived after deeply studying genetics, aiming to imbue machines with life.”
“This technology sounds crazy, and no one agrees with her ideas, especially in her country, where male preference is strong and she’s not valued.”
Seeing Aaron seemed very interested, Norman emphasized some points, even though he himself thought this plan was too crazy.
This was a forbidden technology that involved creating life, and it wasn’t currently feasible with the available technology.
If he were in charge as before, he wouldn’t even glance at this technology and would shut it down directly.
However, when Norman saw Helen Cho’s profile, he felt that this data might catch his eye.
Aaron also noticed Helen Cho’s profile and picture on the data.
Very young, but with a certain charm.
Moving his gaze down, he saw a more in-depth study of the Cradle of Life.
After skipping a bunch of professional terms he didn’t understand, Aaron finally saw the summary.
“Creating life? Interesting!”
Norman could tell.
Aaron was interested in Helen Cho as a person and in the project as well.
But he still dutifully reminded him, “Although the Cradle of Life technology looks promising, I must remind you that it’s very difficult to achieve. First, we need to solve the artificial intelligence problem.”
“Judging from the current situation of major companies, Stark Industries is probably the only one with the capability in artificial intelligence.”
“Even if the artificial intelligence problem is solved, this ‘Cradle’ that can create life probably doesn’t have the broad market expected.”
“Moreover, Helen Cho’s idea… is really…”
He didn’t say it explicitly but had already expressed his opinion.
Norman knew Stark had created an artificial intelligence called JARVIS.
It was once touted by the media as a miracle.
In fact, it was true. No one didn’t admire Stark’s wisdom.
This single artificial intelligence was enough to distance other companies.
Of course, the Cradle of Life technology had another function. Once a breakthrough was made in research, it might be able to create living people.
But this was too shocking and would definitely not be listed on the market.
It couldn’t even be explicitly written in the project, or it wouldn’t pass the public opinion hurdle alone.
Aaron disagreed. “I believe in Helen Cho’s ability. She… is very good!”
Was he concerned about this so-called machine?
The Age of Ultron had already proven that the Cradle of Life was indeed successful.
Without Helen Cho, Vision wouldn’t have had a chance to be born.
But this thing had greater personal significance for Aaron.
Even if it had no market, he would fund Helen Cho to complete the project.
For the sake of the person, and for the Cradle of Life.
Creating life…
What abilities would it give him after fusion?
Aaron was looking forward to it!
Seeing Aaron so determined, Norman took a deep look at Dr. Helen Cho’s photo, lost in thought.
“Then, boss, should I arrange for her to meet with you immediately?”
“The group really needs an expert like Helen Cho. She’s very capable!”
Norman immediately changed his position, not hiding his appreciation for Helen Cho at all.
“Okay, arrange the time yourself.”
Aaron nodded with satisfaction. Norman was becoming more and more understanding of him, which was a good thing!
“Dr. Helen Cho is in New York, looking for sponsors to help her complete the technology, but she’s running into walls everywhere. If she knows you value her so much and intend to sponsor her…”
“I believe Dr. Helen Cho will express her gratitude to you according to the etiquette of her country!”
“That… offer herself in return?”
Norman said in broken Chinese. Although it was not smooth, the fact that Norman could learn a few sentences in his busy schedule was enough to prove that he was very attentive.
“Norman, you’re doing very well. Have Harry come by when you have time.”
Norman was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly. “I’ll go take care of it now!”
Norman left again, full of energy.
Watching the other party’s departing back, Aaron sometimes worried if he was exploiting this middle-aged man in his forties too much.
These days, especially in the United States, a good workaholic was hard to find!
At this moment,
Aaron suddenly noticed something.
The corner of his mouth curved.
“Look what I found, a little mouse?”
Under his mental control, the Osborn Group’s network security program was instantly and completely activated.
Under Aaron’s leadership, it engaged in a fierce battle with an external data stream.
Loud alarms echoed throughout the building.
Perhaps sensing the Osborn Group’s resistance was too intense, the data stream directly sacrificed its pawns to protect the king, forcibly severing itself and quickly retreating from the firewall.
“Want to run? Not so easy!”
Although Aaron didn’t know much about the network world, his skills were already very high compared to ordinary hackers.
Probably in the first echelon below artificial intelligence.
What’s more, he also had the entire Osborn Group firewall as an aid.
Like adding wings to a tiger!
Aaron chased relentlessly, deliberately not swallowing the opponent in one gulp, but following behind at a time when the opponent didn’t notice.
He went around and around in the network world,
Even running overseas,
Then entering from the southern region again.
Finally stopping at…
Osborn Group?
Aaron realized something.
He came to the French window and looked down.
Across a distance of hundreds of meters, he quickly scanned through the vehicles parked below.
Finally, he locked onto a van.
He activated X-ray vision, successfully penetrating the obstacles and seeing the situation inside the car.
Aaron’s expression was strange. “Skye?!”
