“What seems to be the problem?” He Xingzhou asked.

“There are many issues, the most pressing one is the gene sequencer,” Pan Yan said, “Our current gene sequencers perform at about the same level as your previous test reports, and we can’t obtain more useful information.”

“As for your conjectured biological chip, it is indeed undetectable too.”

“Actually, it’s not just the gene sequencer; we lack advanced instruments related to genetic engineering!”

“In this regard, we have to admit that foreign technologies and instruments are more advanced than ours.”

He Xingzhou had heard about this matter as well. In terms of genetic engineering technologies and equipment, foreign countries had started earlier, and their technologies and devices were more advanced.

The most distressing part was that due to the country’s development in recent years, those developed countries saw us as severe threats, creating a list of restrictions on relevant scientific and technological advancements, so-called the ‘Blockade List.’

Genetic engineering, biotechnology, and medical-related technologies and devices were included in this list!

Pan Yan continued, “A few years ago, UK companies were still providing us with the latest gene sequencers, but in recent years, they’ve completely restricted the trade. Now, the gene sequencers and related instruments we use are a generation or two behind theirs.”

“With these kinds of devices, it is tough to yield any effective research results on Zerg genes. We can only conduct research in other areas.”

“*A long way to go!*” He Xingzhou sighed. Technological research and development had never been a process that a single technology could push all the way through.

The advancement of biotechnology must be complemented by the progress of industrial manufacturing technology.

“I understand. I will figure something out about this,” He Xingzhou said. “Please list the instruments and equipment needed.”

“Alright.” Pan Yan had it in mind already, but she did not hold much hope; those instruments belonged to high-end precision manufacturing products firmly censored by foreign countries.

The domestic effort to strengthen in this area would take time, and it could only be said to strive for it as soon as possible.

However, what He Xingzhou had in mind was that he needed to upgrade the industrial manufacturing-related technology; otherwise, even if many high-tech products were understood and designed, they couldn’t be manufactured!

Huaxia was a manufacturing giant, but there still existed a gap with foreign countries in high-precision and high-performance manufacturing.

Returning to his office, He Xingzhou immediately explored technologies related to industrial manufacturing.

“Ultra-precision manufacturing involves various technologies,” the Quantum Light Computer said. “Ultra-precision machining imposes special requirements on workpiece materials, processing equipment, tools, measurements, and environmental conditions. To achieve it, you must first unlock technologies like precision mechanics, precision measurement, precision servo systems, computer control, and other related technologies.”

He Xingzhou saw that ultra-precision machining also included ultra-precision cutting and ultra-precision specialized processing, such as ultra-precision turning, mirror grinding, and polishing. For example, processing the 800-millimeter diameter aspheric mirrors used in fusion devices, with a maximum accuracy of 0.1 micrometer and a surface roughness of Rz0.05 micrometer, required such ultra-precision cutting machine tools.

Ultra-precision specialized processing targeted nanometer or even atomic units for machining. When cutting with traditional technology was no longer possible, it required applying chemical energy, electrochemical energy, thermal energy, or electrical energy technologies. For example, lithography machines used to manufacture chips employed ultra-precision specialized integration of electron beams in processing.

“Unlocking ultra-precision cutting machine tools requires ten thousand energy units, and the various prerequisite technologies needed for unlocking also add up to several thousand energy units.”

“And to unlock ultra-precision specialized processing technology, a single lithography machine alone requires a hundred thousand energy units!”

“*Energy is still not enough!*” He Xingzhou thought. There were too many technologies to unlock.

Currently, he had already planned the nanocrystal solar power station under construction. It was expected to provide the Quantum Light Computer with two hundred energy units per day after completion, roughly seventy-two thousand energy units in a year.

If he wished to unlock multiple technologies simultaneously, this was not going to be enough.

“*I need more resources! It would be best to build another super-large photovoltaic power station in the western region!*” He Xingzhou pondered, realizing that relying solely on this small photovoltaic power station at the research institute wasn’t sufficient.

The first batch of funds allocated by the state for modifying the research institute, purchasing various equipment, and hiring personnel had nearly run out.

These funds lasted only two months, and the approval for the second batch of funds was still pending.

“In that case, I’ll use the money from technology licensing!” Recently, after licensing battery technology to other enterprises, a batch of funds had been obtained.

He Xingzhou planned to construct a large photovoltaic power station under the guise of energy research in Huaxia’s northwestern region, a place with abundant sunlight!

Thinking so, he immediately called Xu Zhilan and a few related personnel to formulate a plan.

“Location selection, construction, and so forth must be completed quickly, working directly with the National Grid under the name of the Xuanwu Plan. The funding will be covered by our research institute,” He Xingzhou instructed.

The construction capability of the National Grid was indeed very reliable.

“Alright, we’ll complete it as soon as possible!” Xu Zhilan jotted down his requirements and discussed the complete plan with everyone.

“Once this large photovoltaic power station is constructed, there’ll be a further strain on funding,” He Xingzhou knew well that scientific research was a very costly affair!

How costly was it? Even if the world’s richest person invested in his projects, they wouldn’t last long! These technologies ahead of their time were challenging to sustain even with national power!

“*I’ll have to keep promoting technological products to earn more money,*” He Xingzhou pondered; the second episode of his video should be released soon. Licensing the magnetic levitation motor technology to those car companies was bound to yield another substantial return!

…

Several days later, He Xingzhou released his second video on the website, “DIY Electromagnetic Floating Car (Part 2) – Magnetic Levitation Motor Group.”

After the release of the previous video, He Xingzhou’s followers had already grown to one million!

This was thanks to the publicity from various news outlets, as well as attention from major corporate and media accounts.

In the entertainment channel, there were quite a few creators with a million followers, as mainstream audiences preferred watching celebrity gossip and videos where pretty girls offered freebies, after all.

In the science channel, especially for such a science-based teaching series to reach this level of attention was indeed remarkable.

If He Xingzhou hadn’t been too busy to participate in media promotional activities, his followers would likely have multiplied several times over!

As soon as his new video was released, the website immediately sent update notifications to his followers.

“Here it comes, here it comes!”

“First, front row!”

“Finally updated, how far has it gotten this time?”

“Saw the title; is he already working on the magnetic levitation motor this time?”

“@Volkswagen, @Dongfang Auto, @Da Mi Technology, @BYD Auto Company, @Tesla… The big shot has updated, hurry up and take a look!”
