Reborn in 2010, the AI ​​in my mind is too powerful.

"You don't need to worry about money. This is your next task: Project Starlink."

Musk looked at the Starlink logo displayed on the monitor and immediately made a connection.

"Are you talking about OneWeb's strategy of using low-Earth orbit small satellites? I've met with their founder, Greg Wheeler, a few times, and we actually have some interest in it."

I feel that he is planning to outsource a large number of launch missions to us after we achieve some success with our rockets. His thinking is different from mine. I originally wanted to discuss this with him later.

By the way, he's complained to me many times that because of me, Google is too busy focusing all its energy on the AI ​​competition and is investing less and less in his area.

Chen Yiran nodded: "That's the idea, but I think the same way you do. Ultimately, this is a launch issue, not a satellite issue. His thinking is off track."

In later years on the Chinese Internet, whenever Starlink is mentioned, many people bring up Motorola's Iridium satellites. In fact, Iridium is too far removed from the past. The concept of large-scale satellite networking has actually been explored by many players.

Motorola was just the first; many companies followed suit, but most of them died within a few years.

The project that is truly similar to Starlink and that is genuinely being pursued is OneWeb's plan.

Moreover, Musk is far from being innovative in this regard; large-scale networking of low-Earth orbit satellites has been an idea that many people have had for a long time.

Greg Wheeler was the one who truly perfected the concept of mega-constellations, and he was also the most famous player in the 20th century, achieving fame long before Musk.

In 2007, Greg Wheeler founded O3b Networks, a space-based internet company, with the slogan of providing internet services to the remaining three billion people who were not yet using internet services at the time.

At the time, it still gained recognition from many companies and received a lot of investment, including funding from Google in 2008, with Google promising to invest a billion dollars to burn.

He was even prepared to join Google as the head of Google's project to provide global internet connectivity via satellite.

However, Aurora's sudden rise has diverted all of Google's attention, making this project seem increasingly unreliable.

Greg Wheeler had no choice but to change O3b Networks' target, altering the orbital plan from low Earth orbit to medium Earth orbit, hoping to survive and be acquired.

Then in 2012, he founded OneNet, with a clear goal: initially to deploy hundreds of satellites in low Earth orbit, and later to tens of thousands.

Musk is a bit insecure. Right now, he's in a phase where he's a little proud, but still a bit intimidated when he has to compete with those well-known and powerful figures.

"Why don't we discuss it with them and see if we can cooperate? After all, Greg Wheeler has been working on this project for a long time, so he should have a well-developed plan."

Chen Yiran gave Musk a mocking look: "Can't you have some ambition? What's so difficult about satellites? Hurry up and start applying for satellite orbits, apply like crazy, don't care if they're launched or not, just apply for tens of thousands of them first."

If you're really worried, go poach people, poach like crazy. Or, I can just steal their plans for you, it's not a big deal. Everything is for the sake of quickly bringing the internet to every corner of the earth.

Musk felt that this meeting was noticeably different from before. Chen Yiran seemed to have become more unrestrained. Although he had been like this before, he had never been this outrageous.

Thinking about the AI ​​update issue that Chen Yiran had just mentioned, an incredible idea appeared in his mind. Although it seemed incredible, it didn't seem impossible for Chen Yiran.

Musk asked cautiously, "Boss, have you created real AI, like the kind you see in movies, real AI?"

Chen Yiran squinted at Musk. After becoming successful, Musk ventured into brain-computer interfaces and created OpenAI. In interviews, he has repeatedly stated that he believes the universe is more likely to be a large video game, or that humanity was created to launch silicon-based systems.

In short, he seems like someone who can be recruited. And Musk's abilities are undeniable; after all, it seems like none of the companies he's founded have failed.

"It has nothing to do with AI. I'll tell you what happened after Starlink's first launch."

Musk suppressed his curiosity, thought for a moment, and said, "Alright, then I'll start this project. Let's cut ties with Greg Wheeler. OneNet will probably be our number one competitor from now on."

"Don't worry about that much. His overall approach is flawed. Without independent launch capabilities, the low-Earth orbit satellite constellation plan is completely unrealizable. Alright, you can go now. It's time for me to walk the dog."

Musk stood up, walked halfway, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration. He turned back and said, "Boss, that March launch mission isn't far off. How about we give ourselves a little more time? Launch it on April 1st? That would be perfect for the young master's birthday."

Chen Yiran suddenly felt that Musk had become much more pleasing to the eye.

"Okay, let's launch on April 1st then."

----------------------------------------

For a period of time afterward, Chen Yiran continued to cram for various kinds of knowledge, and gradually gained a clearer understanding of her own experience.

In the study, Professor Xenius, who had already taken his entire family to Lanai Island as hostages, stared in shock at the paper in his hand, trembling as he asked, "You're not lying to me, are you? Is this... is this what you've seen? Is it really that simple? Is this the ultimate answer that humanity has been searching for for tens of thousands of years?"

Chen Yiran nodded: "Although it's incredible, I feel like the answer comes from my recent cramming. Besides, it can't be tens of thousands of years ago. Tens of thousands of years ago, humans didn't have that much free time to think about ultimate answers. They were just honestly hunting."

Professor Xenius suddenly slumped into his chair: "Sigh, why did you tell me this? I feel like life has no meaning anymore. Nothing I look at will seems meaningless. I might as well just die."

Chen Yiran was prepared. She pulled out a drawer and took out a plate of braised beef: "Try it, is it good?"

"........................?"

"I've also felt lost, but that day when I got home, my mother fed me some braised beef, and it was so delicious. So why think so much? Braised beef will still stimulate our taste buds, we'll still be happy when the fish takes the bait, and we'll still enjoy sex."

That day I called Samsung directly and asked them to send a girl group over. All nine of them came, all together.

Lie down on the ground.

"It feels so good. I feel like I've seen something higher, something that makes me feel safe to enjoy life, and I can do bad things without worry, like forcing beautiful women to submit."

"Boss, I'm a cancer patient, and my health isn't good."

"That's why we need to work hard! You have deep connections in the research community, so go and find some neuroscientists for me, specifically those who are terminally ill. According to my plan, with just a tiny anchor point, we can create an artificial brain that can carry your thoughts! That's practically immortality!"

"Okay, I'll go get them."

"Be careful, don't be someone who's always concerned about ethics."

"Don't worry, we talk about ethics all the time, but everyone actually wants to run wild and unrestrained, it's just that they don't dare to."

Chen Yiran thought for a moment and then added, "Also, there must be family members who can be brought over to be used as hostages. Although it doesn't necessarily have to be kept secret, it would still be very troublesome if it were leaked, and a lot of people would have to be killed."
