My Life as an Awoken

Chapter 163: Autonomous Driving

With deals made and promises to keep, I got right to work on all of the new projects.

The projects I have to do are the energy training techniques which involve the camera that can see energy. I will need to figure out how that works and mass produce them. One camera won’t be enough.

The other project is autonomous driving. Autonomous driving is pretty synonymous with electric cars.

However, I still have Layla’s design for the improved engine and I don’t want that to become obsolete so soon. I want her final work to be immortalized and remembered for a long time to come.

So I’m going to make both an electric and gas version of the car. That way I can corner the market, since I’m sure some people will never buy an electric vehicle.

I will make sure that those who buy a gas powered car get a car with extremely good gas mileage.

The engine Layla designed was able to have a gas mileage of 100 miles if I remember correctly.

But, I think it would be hard to start from nothing. Especially if we have to navigate patents.

Looking into it one of the leading if not the leading autonomous driving company is called Apollo Roll. It is a Xia company that makes self driving taxis. They have over 5,500 patents and a solid foundation in the industry.

Not only that, they already have a project planned in Dubai. Where they plan to release 1,000 self-driving taxis as a test run.

It is quite literally the perfect company to acquire for our plan.

The biggest problem is if we can afford to buy it or if they are even willing to sell.

The online information has the company valued at around $40 billion. That is with all of the assets associated with the company. Like the factories, actual taxis, and the patents.

Since the company is privately owned it means that we can buy the whole thing, but it also means that they can just reject us.

With the company making annual profits last year around $800 million and with the new Dubai project they stand to make much more.

Our offer will have to be around the $50 billion mark. With our current earnings absolutely smashing that amount we can afford to spend that much on acquiring it.

I leave it up to Xue Qing to set up the appointment and manage acquiring the company.

While she does that I will look into the camera.

Before doing anything with the camera I make sure to gather data on the energy training technique. Because in the event that I break the camera we will not be left with nothing.

With the previous test subjects waiting for their next assignment I chose one and had him get right to work. I set up the camera and connected it to a computer using WIFI. But it took a moment because it was having trouble reading the signals.

I had to boot up the main computer to run diagnostics and decode the wavelengths it was sending. I don’t know where she got this thing from but it didn’t run on any kind of code or transmission that I recognized. Not that I’m an expert.

After finally getting it to connect we got to filming.

...

The filming took a week before the test subject showed any form of energy manipulation. But once he had it it was swiftly used in the way described in the training technique.

The energy training technique made use of Blaschko’s lines. Blaschko’s lines, also called the lines of Blaschko, are lines of normal cell development in the skin. These lines are only visible in those with a mosaic skin condition or in chimeras where different cell lines contain different genes.

These lines may express different amounts of melanin, or become visible due to a differing susceptibility to disease. In such individuals, they can become apparent as whorls, patches, streaks, or lines in a linear or segmental distribution over the skin.

They follow a V shape over the back, S-shaped whirls over the chest and sides, and wavy shapes on the head. Not all mosaic skin conditions follow Blaschko’s lines.

The lines are believed to trace the migration of embryonic cells. They do not correspond to underlying nervous, muscular, or lymphatic systems. The lines are not unique to humans and can be observed in non-human animals with mosaicism.

Ultimately they are lines that show your growth as a baby growing inside of your mother. Which means that so long as you were born and have a consciousness, you can use this training technique.

While Blaschko’s lines are unique to yourself you can still use the technique. The biggest thing I noticed was how the energy was flowing.

It starts with you breathing energy in through your mouth which cycles around your head before moving down your spine slowly spreading out around your entire body. The main thing I noticed about this is that the energy flows in the skin.

Despite "breathing" it in, it stays in or on the skin while it flows around the body. Once the Blaschko’s lines are saturated the energy starts to seep into the body.

This process seems really crude and unrefined. There is not a focal point to gather the energy. It just saturates the body and stays inside. There doesn’t seem to even be a way to harness the energy inside of your body either.

It seems like we really got duped by Ameera. But, maybe we can make this work anyway. If we try to combine the energy manipulation method with other techniques that have lacked it we might discover a miracle.

There are plenty of techniques that haven’t worked because we lacked the energy manipulation method, but now that we have it they should work.

I just thought of something that could be revolutionary.

What if we combine the energy manipulation method with body training techniques?
