After listening to the news reported by the public opinion director, he only said one sentence,
"Understood."
Then he hung up the communication and looked at the leaders from various departnts gathered around the president of Military Technology, Lucas, for a eting.
The head of the Special Operations Departnt, tris, stood up and said,
"According to information from various branches, currently 13 cities in the United States have traces of this software, evenly distributed along the magnetic levitation tracks. I suspect they are using the transportation routes to spread the software, using the live broadcast of the Cuba conflict as a gimmick."
After he finished speaking, Freddie couldn't help but stand up and say,
"Given the current spread rate, the software's user base will reach at least millions or even tens of millions across the United States, turning it into the best marketing platform. The revenue we can earn by placing advertisents on it is imasurable, so I suggest..."
"Imdiately create an identical software, order Horizon Corporation to halt the project developnt, and find a way to steal the source code of the software."
"I disagree."
The head of the Network Information Security Departnt raised his hand to vote, then stood up and pointed to the Super Earth live broadcast in the center of the eting, saying,
"You have no idea what such a massive amount of active information ans. For years, we have been trying to lower the upper limit of data circulation. If you develop such software independently and connect nationally and beyond, once an AI invades, it will be everywhere, much like the old internet era."
"If you don't want to relive another network collapse, I suggest you drop this idea, or perhaps you intend to have an Internet Supervisor agent stationed next to my desk, watching work every day."
Freddie initially intended to argue back—we have the Black Wall, don't we? And how can anyone achieve this? Maybe you're just not up to the job?
But upon thinking about it, he decided to let it go. Now, none of the world's giant corporations aren't targeting the Black Wall. Everyone's digging holes, and if it collapses, no one would be surprised.
Besides, their official rank is higher than his, and such words are unspeakable.
At this ti, tris stood up again and said,
"There is now sufficient evidence that Horizon Corporation definitely has a stable channel for obtaining old internet confidential data, be it excavating relics or having accessed the old internet. I personally suggest controlling Lin Miao himself, as his danger index even surpasses Huang Ban Sanlang."
"What's most important is that during this Cuba war, he bypassed us and directly reached a secret agreent with President Miles. This is not good news for us."
"Objection."
Another person stood up,
"Horizon Corporation is now a high-level partner of Military Technology and New Arica. A rash move would damage our comrcial credibility, pushing Horizon towards Huang Ban and Kangtao. Considering Lin Miao's vigilance, if he senses sothing amiss, he is likely to hide, which brings us nothing but harm."
The group had different opinions; so were wholeheartedly considering the company, so for their personal future, and others were simply indifferent, gazing at the sky as if it was none of their business.
Nobody ntioned using Zeta Technology's Human Brain Array for developing this software, as such a level of data volu would require at least tens of thousands of brains to sustain data circulation within the United States.
Killing tens of thousands and ensuring their brains are removed intact is sothing only a crazy Military Technology would attempt; even Zeta Technology wouldn't agree to such a mad idea.
Ultimately, the decision-maker was Lucas.
"Based on your views on Horizon Corporation, I propose the following plan."
"Maintain the current cooperation relationship, place advertisents on the platform, and turn the Cuba conflict into an exhibition of Military Technology weapons. If our weapons outperform the European Community in this war, we may see long-term and substantial growth in our international market earnings."
"Additionally, focus on the developnt trend of this software, maintain close contact with Horizon Corporation, and see if our friends are willing to add more features that benefit us."
It's a given that the European Community will react to this software matter. The weapons transportation to Cuba is inevitable, and Lucas is not inclined to act against Horizon in this situation.
Should Horizon exhibit anomalies, Military Technology would have to take action itself, and the European Community would likely find an excuse to intervene, unlike the current relatively safe proxy war.
The alienation of capital from humans is not limited to the common alienation from the working-class people.
Capital also alienates capitalists, and to an even greater extent.
In the capital market, if you don't advance, you die. Capitalists must do everything possible to maintain positive growth trends to avoid being devoured by capital; otherwise, they face demise.
To ensure capital appreciation, they can toast with their father's killer, push their daughter to beco soone's concubine, send their wife off as soone's mistress, abandon humanity, discard ethics—nothing is off-limits.
And even if they can't win at the gambling table, they must ensure the opponent loses money, because mutual losses are better than a single one winning.
The competitors for Military Technology are nurous.
