Umbrella Corporation's current business, while it could not be said to have absolutely nothing to do with the electronics industry, was still about as far removed from it as possible.
One was biotechnology, the other was the electronics industry. No matter how you looked at it, they were not in the same camp.
Just like Boris's expectations for Umbrella Corporation's future, Patrick also believed that deepening its work vertically was more suitable for Umbrella's development.
So although Patrick had looked into Murphy's idea of "entering the electronics industry" according to Murphy's instructions, he had never supported it.
The leap was too huge. Umbrella had no accumulation in this field at all, and the chip industry was one that required an extreme amount of technical accumulation. For Umbrella to barge in under its current circumstances—wasn't that like a little white rabbit entering a wolf's den? It was pure, unadulterated prodigality.
But to Murphy, this was something he had no choice but to do.
Why enter the electronics industry?
Wasn't it because technological development right now was too slow?
In truth, although the current tech world was not as cutthroat as it would be thirty years later, it was already developing fast enough. Calling the electronics industry something that changed by the day was no exaggeration at all.
But Murphy came from the future. In his eyes, many of the current technologies were still far from enough.
For example, the gene sequencing technology that the Transfiguration Research Group desperately needed was still in its infancy. If this were thirty years later, why would they need to slowly guess, bit by bit, what new genes had appeared after Boris turned into a vampire? They could just perform whole-genome sequencing on him, then compare it with the human genome and the bat genome, and
