296 Biological Research Center
A piece of barren land that was 100 kilometers south of the small desert in Tianyi City was bought by Li Chengqian.
At this moment, this place had already become a huge construction site.
A large number of excavators, loaders, and concrete mixers were lined up. Then, under the engineers’ command, a large amount of concrete was discharged.
At this moment, the height of the building had already exceeded the ground.
As the surface had not been processed, it could be seen that the underground building was very large, occupying about 3,000 square meters.

“Master, is this the construction site of the Divine Dragon Software Company? What are they building? Is it a military shelter? This is huge! I think there’s at least 3,000 square meters underground.” A young man walked around the construction site and was so surprised that he was mouth agape.
The building was underground, and the walls were more than a meter thick. It was made of special cement, which was extremely strong and airtight. It was also done especially quickly and could be formed and used within a few hours.
This special cement was usually only used for military facilities such as shelters.
“No, I heard that the Divine Software Company wants to build a biological laboratory here. It seems to be for vaccines or something. The requirements are especially strict.” The old master told the little apprentice what he had heard.
Then, the old master said proudly, “You weren’t here a few days ago, so you didn’t know.”
“Underneath this is not the first floor, but the 34th floor.”
“The underground area is not 3,000 square meters either, but about 100,000 square meters.”
“What? 10,000 square meters?” The young man’s eyes widened when he heard the news.
“Master, are you lying to me? The construction site of the Divine Dragon Software Company has only started for a few days.”
“How could they have made so much progress already?”
“Even if the construction equipment, steel bars and cement can be found from the market, we still need workers to build the structures and to work on the steel bars…”
“We don’t have that many workers here at all!” Soon, the young man thought of a loophole and quickly retorted.
“Heh, you’ll know when you see it!” The old master had a disdainful look on his face.
Just as the old master was speaking, 300 worker robots appeared.
These robots were modified based on the foundation of the first generation robots. They had all the tools needed for work on their mechanical arms. Instead of mechanical legs, they had wheels like vehicles, so they moved very quickly.
“Did you see that? The Divine Dragon Software Company does robot work. It’s fast and good.” Looking at the stunned young man, the old master said proudly.
Just as he spoke, the robots moved.
Not only were there welding attachments and cutting tools on their mechanical arms, there were also tools for shaping steel bars.
They had immense strength. The steel bars that were difficult for humans to bend were like noodles in their hands. They could easily bend them into any shape.
In just 10 minutes, 3,000 square meters of steel bars were all completed and welded together with the steel bars extending from underground.
“F*ck… This efficiency is amazing.” From the moment the robots appeared, the young man’s eyes widened in disbelief. His face was filled with shock.
The efficiency of these robots was hundreds of times higher than that of humans!
This was not the first time the old master had seen this scene, but he was still shocked by the efficiency and quality of the robots. “To be honest, I’ve been in the construction industry for more than 20 years. The quality of steel bars is not even as good as those done by the robots.”
“Furthermore, at this speed, one machine is comparable to the efficiency of hundreds of people. It’s really too advanced!”
Just as the old master was sighing, the prefabricated structures that had been prepared long ago were fixed around the pillars by the robots. Steel pipes were quickly installed on the ground and the structures were neatly installed.
After 20 minutes, 3,000 square meters of structures had been installed.
All the structures were as flat as a mirror.
This level of uniformity was not humanly possible.
Moreover, with such a large area, even if there were 1,000 skilled workers, it would take at least three days to insert the steel bars and structures.
If the quality requirements were especially high, such as to the level of the robots, it might not even be possible in 10 days.
“Everyone, please line up the concrete mixers and discharge the concrete in positions marked by the robots!” Following the instructions of the on-site engineers and the guidance of the robots, the concrete mixers were lined up and concrete was discharged.
A floor was formed at a visible speed.
On a small hill not far from the construction site, there was a blue temporary house. This was the project department.
Almost all the senior managers of the Divine Dragon Software Company were here at the project department.
Zhao Na, who was in charge of the lithography machine production, Zhang Tianling, who was in charge of the business negotiation department, and Huang Ting, who was in charge of the subsequent development of the operating system.
The heads of the finance department, engineering department, production department, secretarial department, and other departments all came over.
The simple conference room of the project department was filled with people.
“Boss, according to the current progress, the first phase of our biological research center will be completed in three days!” The new CEO of the Divine Dragon Software Company, He Hongyan, updated Li Chengqian on the situation.
He left Baidu and officially joined the Divine Dragon Software Company.
“The renovation of the 34th to 10th underground floors has been completed. All the equipment has been installed.”
“After the construction on the ground is completed tomorrow, the renovation and installation of the equipment on the other floors can be carried out immediately.”
“We’ve taken extremely strict measures on each level. Each level is relatively isolated…”
“So even if we need to use it now, there’s no problem.” Li Chengqian pointed at a model of the project department.
“Boss, we’ve made the strictest prevention and control measures for the virus port, as you have specially instructed. This port is only connected to the 34th floor. We’ve asked an expert to review it. There’s no risk of leakage.”
He Hongyan pointed to a small hole with a diameter of 20 centimeters on the top layer. This small hole was the inlet for the virus that Li Chengqian had specially set aside.
Li Chengqian nodded. “President He, we must complete the construction of the biological research center within the specified time.”
“This is very crucial to us!”
“It’s even more important than the Divine Dragon System!”
“We can put aside anything else, but we can’t delay this matter at all.”
“President He, it’s been hard on you during this period of time.” Li Chengqian was very satisfied with He Hongyan’s progress.
“Boss, I actually have a question. The Divine Dragon Software Company doesn’t have any biological technology or related companies. Why would we spend so much money to build such a huge biological research center?” He Hongyan wasn’t the only one with this question. The other senior managers of the Company also had this question.
Li Chengqian had already spent 30 billion yuan in order to expedite the construction of the biological research center. This is excluding the construction robots he provided. The amount invested was astronomical.
If he used this 30 billion yuan to invest in the real estate market, based on the extreme efficiency and quality of the robots, he would be able to bring in at least 60 billion yuan in revenue to the Divine Dragon Software Company in a year.
If the 30 billion yuan was invested in the financial markets, it could also bring back 30 billion yuan as long as it was handled well.

As for the biological research center, it was like a bottomless pit… There were no benefits at all.
If not for the fact that the operating system of the Divine Dragon Software Company had already occupied the world market, such a huge sum of money could bankrupt the Divine Dragon Software Company.
He Hongyan was very puzzled by this.
“Mr. He, you’ll find out soon enough.” Li Chengqian didn’t answer He Hongyan’s question.
“Speed up the construction! I have great use for the biological research center.”
