Chapter 333: Easy Come, Easy Go
In a luxurious villa, Dr. Qi Li stared intently at the screen displaying the recent achievements and core data from the Federation’s research institute regarding Space Vessels.
He had gone to great lengths and spent a huge amount of resources to obtain these core documents through top-level agents.
“What a bunch of useless fools and incompetent people. After all these years, there are still no significant breakthroughs.”
He couldn’t help but rub his temples, feeling somewhat irritated.
He closed the screen and was about to step outside for a stroll to clear his mind when darkness suddenly engulfed him.
He fainted without realizing that someone had appeared behind him.
Even if he had sensed it, he would likely dismiss it as a figment of his imagination.
Because this was unscientific.
The villa was equipped with a small Defense System.
With it always activated, the entire villa lay within the coverage of the energy shield.
It was impossible for anyone to enter the villa without breaking the energy shield.
And it was equally impossible for anyone to enter without triggering an alarm.
Using immortal power to knock Dr. Qi Li unconscious, Yi Chen immediately employed the Soul Searching Technique.
His simulated divine consciousness was recognized by Dr. Qi Li’s biological magnetic field as the energy signature of Dr. Qi Li himself, allowing him to easily access his brain.
“He actually underwent modifications?” Yi Chen was somewhat surprised.
He discovered that Dr. Qi Li’s brain contained numerous miniature devices.
These tiny instruments continuously released special energy, connecting to the neurons and the hippocampus in his brain, which stored memories.
The purpose was to prevent anyone from extracting his memories.
If an external force tried to extract those memories, the energy would quickly erase all important stored memories.
Unfortunately, this posed no challenge to Yi Chen.
Dr. Qi Li was guarding against the Federal Parliament or the Military using related equipment to extract his memories.
In front of these miniature devices, to extract his memories, one would need to simultaneously destroy all the devices in an instant while releasing the same energy to replace it.
Otherwise, the energy connecting the devices to his brain would immediately eradicate those important memories.
Even with the most advanced technology from the human federation, this would be very difficult to achieve.
It was like dozens of devices using special energy to connect to thousands of bombs.
If someone touched any bomb, it would explode; if anyone touched any device, it would explode; if any energy connecting these bombs were cut, it would explode.
Yi Chen’s Soul Searching Technique, however, was different.
His technique was designed to simulate the opponent’s energy signature.
This was indirectly equivalent to Dr. Qi Li extracting his own memories, recalling the events of the past.
Soon, Yi Chen completely extracted Dr. Qi Li’s memories.
In just a minute or two, he fully digested and understood them.
He couldn’t help but click his tongue in surprise.
This Dr. Qi Li was clearly a person with a story.
Though he appeared to be in his twenties, his actual age was over ninety; he had merely undergone cosmetic surgery to look younger.
Dr. Qi Li was a genius who emerged from the slums.
From a young age, he possessed an incredible talent for Space Vessels.
By his teens, he could assemble various simple devices from discarded parts.
In his early twenties, he was already a doctor from the highest institution of the human federation.
Subsequently, with his brilliant ideas and thoughts, he successfully entered the Federation’s research institute.
It was not an exaggeration to say that he soared to great heights.
Unfortunately, because of his harsh living environment in childhood, Dr. Qi Li developed a fiercely competitive and stubborn personality.
After entering the Federation’s research institute, he initially advanced rapidly due to his talent and ability, rising swiftly through the ranks.
By the age of fifty, he had become an academician, qualifying to establish large teams and research facilities.
However, at the academician level, everyone was a genius among geniuses.
To advance further to the level of vice president, one needed not only talent but also connections and skill.
Dr. Qi Li fell slightly short in terms of connections.
To stand out, he took a risk and applied for a substantial amount of funding, hoping to enhance the power of battleship laser cannons, which had seen little progress for over a century.
To accelerate the research, he even sold some research results and confidential information, accepting sponsorship from top tycoons, and enlisted agents to collect research and experimental data from other academicians.
When the situation was exposed, he not only failed to advance but lost his academician title, dropping several ranks to become merely a researcher, with his research funds severely restricted.
In a fit of anger, Dr. Qi Li moved to the crime-ridden planet A61258, intending to amass wealth by modifying various Space Vessels and establish his own top-tier research facility.
However, after decades, by being open to all requests and daring to modify any Space Vessel, he indeed accumulated significant wealth.
Yet, because of his prolonged absence from the human federation’s research institute, he needed to spend a large amount of funds to collect relevant materials.
After more than thirty years, not only had he failed to achieve breakthrough progress in the power of battleship laser cannons to slap the entire federation’s research institute in the face, but he hadn’t even managed to establish a related research facility.
What further frustrated Dr. Qi Li was that with Yi Chen’s rise, the emphasis on the power of large battleship laser cannons continually diminished.
The current main research focus of the Federation’s research institute centered on using the weapon refining technique to create high-quality materials and enhance various performances of battleships.
Even if he managed to establish a research facility and achieved breakthrough progress, it seemed that no one would care, and it wouldn’t generate much excitement.
Because the current power of large battleship laser cannons was already sufficiently strong.
What was truly lacking was the operator’s anticipation and speed.
These could be continuously improved by enhancing one’s strength realm.
In other words, Dr. Qi Li initially made the mistake of focusing on enhancing the laser cannon’s power for breakthrough and attracting attention.
When Yi Chen emerged and the technological civilization of the human federation began to shift, it was one mistake after another.
Dr. Qi Li was now deeply entrenched and could not extricate himself.
The decades of accumulated funds were all invested in collecting research results and materials, as well as purchasing related equipment for the research facility.
There was no way to turn back.
Yi Chen pondered for a moment, enveloping Dr. Qi Li’s body with his divine consciousness.
With a thought, he used the Teleportation Technique to instantly return to Lin Yuehai’s office.
“Commander!”
Lin Yuehai was surprised that Yi Chen returned with Dr. Qi Li so quickly after just a few minutes.
“Create a secret account. I’ll give you the account number and password, and transfer all the money into it. Dr. Qi Li is here for fingerprint and iris verification.”
Yi Chen instructed, sending the account number and password he obtained from Dr. Qi Li’s memories to Lin Yuehai through his divine consciousness.
“Got it!”
After receiving the relevant information, Lin Yuehai immediately went to open the safe in his office.
He retrieved a money transfer device that had undergone various encryption processes, ensuring that the signals were untraceable.
