Dream Capture: I Can See Through All Secrets!

190: 190. A treasure trove of technologyHis dining table was overturned, a mess on the floor.

The surrounding diners watched in panic, no one daring to help him up.

“It looks like a heart attack…”

The restaurant’s well-trained waiters reacted quickly, immediately coming over to maintain order, while another man, who looked like a manager, hurried forward. Seeing that he was alone, he immediately called for an ambulance and orderly evacuated the surrounding guests.

Soon, the emergencyaislereserved by the restaurant was opened, and several medical personnel quickly arrived.

They skillfully performed initial examinations and first aid, then carefully moved the old man onto a stretcher and left the restaurant.

The commotion gradually subsided.

“Ah, he doesn’t look that old, like a tourist. How did he suddenly fall ill?” Lu Xiaoli sighed, still shaken.

“I hope he’s okay,” Lu Zezhou also shook his head.

Lu Feng withdrew his gaze, refilled his parents’ teacups with hot tea, and said, “Alright, let’s continue eating. Try this dessert; it’s said to be very good.”

He felt no great ripples in his heart; this was just a small, accidental interlude in life.

That afternoon, after sending his parents back to rest at their Banshan East Road villa, Lu Feng prepared to take a short nap.

His consciousness settled, and he soon entered the dream space unique to him.

Countless dream bubbles, representing the thoughts, desires, and secrets of others, floated like nebulae in the cosmos, each with a different color.

However, just as he was about to browse casually, an extremely special dream bubble caught his attention.

It wasn’t the common white, yellow, or red bubble, but rather displayed a rare, constantly shifting, colorful hue, very dreamlike, yet emanating an unstable, almost dissipating aura.

“What kind of dream is this?”

Lu Feng immediately became interested, approaching it like a child discovering a new toy.

The name “Andrew” appeared on it, and when Lu Feng peered into this magical bubble, he realized that this person was the foreigner who had suffered a sudden heart attack at the restaurant at noon.

And Lu Feng finally understood why the bubble’s color was iridescent: because it was now filled with memories, consciousness and memories were uncontrollably surging and replaying, starting from Andrew as a young foreigner, little by little… a life flashing before his eyes?!

Lu Feng had seen a life flash before his eyes once before; it was his foreman’s, when he was still working on a construction site. However, that was a direct forced entry into the dream, so he hadn’t seen the color of the dream bubble.

“So… that’s how it is!” He suddenly understood.

However, he didn’t care about the life or death of this stranger and was about to leave after a quick glance.

On the surface of the colorful bubble, fragmented scenes flashed rapidly… childhood toys, school exams, laboratory instruments, moments of winning awards… However, just as the images flashed to some fragments of Andrew’s adult life, several extremely crucial scenes with special markings made Lu Feng’s gaze suddenly freeze!

That was… the Eagleland national emblem!

The report from that White House office!

And… a “Top Secret” labeled research chip design document!

Lu Feng’s eyes instantly narrowed, and he turned back, beginning to scrutinize this foreigner named Andrew.

His formerly lazy demeanor vanished, replaced by a focused intensity, as if he had discovered significant prey.

He extended his finger and gently tapped the colorful, almost shattered dream bubble.

Instead of choosing to experience Andrew’s life in the first person, Lu Feng directly, in his true form, like a transcendent observer, stepped into this peculiar dream.

The content of the dream was complex, like a fast-forwarded movie, yet incredibly clear.

Lu Feng stood quietly to the side, watching Andrew’s life unfold before his eyes:

A blond little boy, naturally fascinated by mechanics and logic, disassembled various appliances in his garage, his eyes full of curiosity and light;

As a teenager, he won state-level science competitions by assembling simple circuit boards himself; his thirst for knowledge far surpassed that of his peers.

Later, with astonishing talent and excellent grades, he was admitted to the world-renowned MIT, where he displayed extraordinary talent in chip design;

During college, he often stayed up all night, filling whiteboards and scratch paper with dense formulas and architectural diagrams. Eventually, Andrew independently developed an innovative chip underlying architecture. The paper, once published, shocked the academic world and was eagerly sought after by several of Eagleland’s top semiconductor companies, who granted him an exceptional admission, seeing him as a future star… His life was like a cheat code, advancing by leaps and bounds, smooth sailing all the way!

The dream’s timeline advanced rapidly.

At the graduation ceremony, he spoke as an outstanding graduate representative, but the core content of his speech was an infinite yearning for the future development of chip technology.

After joining the company, Andrew thrived. Driven by an almost obsessive love for chip design, he successively overcame several critical technical hurdles and was exceptionally allowed to participate in national-level projects.

In meetings, he eloquently debated against many, overcoming objections to push for his radical but infinitely potential new architectural solution, and then, he succeeded.

It was precisely this architecture that helped Eagleland establish its advantage in the global high-end chip sector, firmly controlling the high-end chip industry chain.

At a small-scale White House awards ceremony, a senior official personally pinned a medal on him, honoring his indelible contributions to the nation.

Andrew ultimately became the chief chip architect recognized jointly by Eagleland’s national laboratories and several core semiconductor giants, holding a transcendent status, exposed to nothing but the nation’s most core and cutting-edge technological secrets.

However, he increasingly felt his ideals were being eroded.

“We cannot continue like this! Our technology should not be used solely to create barriers and weapons!” Andrew’s voice echoed in the dream, filled with anger and helplessness.

“Andrew, your job is to innovate, not to set policy!”

The arguments erupting in the conference room, and the excessive fatigue and heart disease noted in his annual medical report, made him want to drop everything and go travel and rest. However, his applications were repeatedly rejected, the reason being that he possessed too many secrets and his status was too special for unsupervised international travel.

Finally, he made up his mind, using an international academic conference as a cover, meticulously planning, like a prisoner escaping a cage, shaking off all protection, and embarking on this belated world tour.

Like a child, he greedily breathed the air of freedom, traveling through most of the world. His last stop was this ancient and vibrant Eastern nation, Xia.

He just didn’t expect to have a heart attack.

Lu Feng watched silently, surprised.

This old man, who collapsed from a sudden heart attack, was by no means an ordinary engineer or scholar; he was one of the key cornerstones supporting Eagleland’s hegemonic position in the information technology field!

His brain was a mobile, invaluable treasure trove of chip technology!

“What an… unexpected gain,” Lu Feng’s lips curved into a meaningful smile.

He had only intended to have a meal with his parents, but unexpectedly stumbled upon a big fish capable of influencing the global technological landscape. Coincidentally, Tingfeng Energy was already on the right track, and he needed to expand his own domain.

However, this situation was different from before; it wasn’t a comatose person trapped in consciousness, but a dying person. Lu Feng had no way to save him, and if the other party died, this technological treasure trove would also vanish into thin air.

Is there any way?

Lu Feng fell into deep thought…
