"President Chen, Professor Zhang will be here soon."

The latest flight had already arrived in Ning City. Soon, they saw a large group of people coming out. Among them was an elderly man who looked completely different from the others.

Chen Feng knew then that the person must be Professor Zhang Yuanqing. After coming outside, this person immediately saw Chen Feng and Liu Qiuya. Zhang Yuanqing actually recognized them both because he had seen their faces on television.

Coming before Chen Feng and Liu Qiuya, Professor Zhang was very happy and said to them,

"It is truly troublesome for the two of you to come and greet this old man."

Zhang Yuanqing was wearing a very simple Tang suit with no embellishments, but his demeanor clearly showed he was a scholar.

Behind Zhang Yuanqing were four young people. Three of these young people looked like bodyguards, and one young man was probably Zhang Yuanqing's apprentice or student.

After arranging for Zhang Yuanqing to get into the car, they headed towards Ning City. In the car, Zhang Yuanqing chatted with Chen Feng and Liu Qiuya for a while.

"This Virtual Reality Helmet of yours is truly quite surprising. If I'm not mistaken, the research on computer-like neural synapses contained within it is probably very profound."

Upon hearing this, Chen Feng's heart skipped a beat. He hadn't expected Professor Zhang to see through the key aspect of the Virtual Reality Helmet as soon as he arrived.

He was very clear about the relevant technology of the Virtual Reality Helmet in his mind. It contained a large amount of knowledge about LCD panels, glass, and computers.

Indeed, this Virtual Reality Helmet also used computer and network language and structures similar to neural synapses. Of course, it couldn't be produced by a regular factory; it could only be printed without difference using his own 3D Printer for these key components.

He didn't know how Zhang Yuanqing had figured it out, but he definitely couldn't underestimate him. What if he found out that he had an Elementary Artificial Intelligence? Wouldn't that be even more troublesome?

"Our knowledge base regarding computers is relatively simple. It's just very basic dynamic facial recognition technology and virtual scene conversion technology, and so on."

But Zhang Yuanqing waved his hand and said to Chen Feng,

"Young man, don't be nervous. Our main purpose for coming here is to cooperate with you."

"Cooperate? How do we cooperate?"

This time, Chen Feng was still a little unclear. If they were going to cooperate, what was the point of cooperating with an expert in artificial intelligence like him? He already had an existing artificial intelligence, although it was only an elementary version, it would definitely evolve into an advanced artificial intelligence in the future.

"Actually, it's like this. We have some knowledge about your Virtual Reality Helmet. We've also worked on similar things before because we used to work on Holographic Projection, but Holographic Projection was too troublesome to develop. We could only work on this Virtual Reality Helmet to simulate some other aspects of scenes. You don't know, after this Virtual Reality Helmet came out, it has greatly helped our research, and even some other research in Huaxia."

Chen Feng hadn't expected this. His Virtual Reality Helmet was just for playing games, at most for immersing in some scenes. What other help could it provide? What aspect could be useful for research?

However, he quickly thought of it. If they could simulate some relevant chemical experiments or other physics experiments through the Virtual Reality Helmet, allowing people to experience the experiment firsthand, then perhaps it could indeed have a promotional effect.

"Do you want to modify this Virtual Reality Helmet and set it up as an experimental helmet that allows you to experience things firsthand?"

Professor Zhang nodded at this point.

"To be honest, this thing of yours is quite important to us. Imagine, after inputting the relevant data, conducting simulated experiments for comparison, and then simulating some other physics experiments, people can observe them up close. This way, it might be helpful."

Hearing this, Chen Feng nodded. If that was the case, then cooperating with them was fine. After giving them this helmet, they could do whatever they wanted with it.

Soon, they arrived at the factory. After arriving at the factory, Zhang Yuanqing conducted an on-site inspection and found that the factory was a bit too simple. However, this didn't matter; it was still under construction, and it would be fine after it was completed soon.

During this time, Zhang Yuanqing suggested visiting his factory, but Chen Feng refused. For him, there was nothing technically complex in this production line. The technically complex things were all in his closed production line, which was his 3D Printer.

If he were to take him to his factory that produced molds on the assembly line, it might arouse Zhang Yuanqing's suspicion, so he didn't do that.

Zhang Yuanqing wasn't angry because he also knew that all of this was a trade secret, and his suggestion was indeed a bit presumptuous.

"How is it, Professor Zhang? How do you think we can cooperate further? What do you need? Perhaps we can provide it to you."

Zhang Yuanqing nodded and then said to Chen Feng,

"It's like this, what we need is actually very simple. We need this Virtual Reality Helmet of yours, and we also need you to help us establish a similar relevant database and simulation experiment software."

Upon hearing this, Chen Feng frowned. For him, doing these things was actually very simple; he could just let the Elementary Artificial Intelligence do it. However, what benefits could he get?

"Professor Zhang, you know, we are businessmen."

Professor Zhang nodded after hearing Chen Feng's words.

"Don't worry, you will definitely not be short on benefits. We will provide you with a large amount of funds and relevant technology, which can help you avoid many detours and quickly establish an ecosystem. And we will also notify all relevant people to give your Corona Technology Company the green light."

One should know that Zhang Yuanqing was an expert in artificial intelligence. His students were spread throughout the entire technology industry and he had a very large network of connections. If he were given the green light, then expanding the market would be very simple, and he could also provide him with a lot of technical information.
