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

Mexico is not truly free of drugs; in fact, many countries have taken steps to address this issue, most recently in 2006 when President Calderón launched a militarized anti-drug campaign.

He deployed 4.5 troops, including a dedicated navy to prevent infiltration. Over six years, they killed and arrested numerous high-ranking officials.

However, by 2012, Mexico's murder rate had more than doubled, with the murder rate surging tenfold, the death toll exceeding 10, the number of missing persons exceeding 3, and nearly 4 unidentified bodies found throughout the country.

This number even surpasses that of war-torn Iraq and Afghanistan. This strategy of turning countries into battlefields ultimately turns them into graveyards, so while later adopters did not directly cease their operations, they have effectively given up.

Simply put, Mexico has too many gangs that are deeply entrenched and widespread. If you take down a few leaders, a large force will split into hundreds of smaller factions. The nearly two hundred independent criminal organizations across the country can at least survive on the huge profits from transnational drug trafficking.

Once they are broken up and can no longer continuously obtain the high profits from drugs, they will immediately turn to collecting protection money and controlling legal industries such as avocados, mining, and public transportation.

Violence has also shifted from being a tool for drug trafficking to a means of maintaining rule and seizing territory, leading to a sharp increase in open killings of ordinary citizens and local officials, even far exceeding those of drug traffickers.

Therefore, the Mexican leadership is actually powerless to combat drugs. They can neither find the enemy nor avoid being infiltrated, and their economy is deeply intertwined with drug trafficking. The more they try to ban drugs, the more chaotic the country becomes.

However, the appearance of the aurora caused drugs to lose all their advantages.

I heard you can make people feel good? There are options for pleasure in Oasis! And they're even harmless!

The Mexican government was immediately stunned, as were the drug traffickers. The whole of Mexico was thrown into chaos. The drug traffickers could only rely on the large number of people in Mexico and hope that Aurora would have to give up some profits to protect their image and avoid large-scale casualties in Mexico.

They even thought that this might be the only chance to clean up their act! Would they then be able to become normal businessmen who could walk in the sunlight?

Anyway, the aurora borealis is not going to solve Mexico's problems!

But they underestimated the power of the aurora. If they can't solve the problem, can't they at least solve the problem of the people who caused it?

A mere 30 people, they're all drug dealers anyway, why not just kill them all?

Trying to reason with drug dealers? Go talk to our mechanized forces instead.

The aurora borealis acted very aggressively this time, even failing to notify the Mexican government to maintain secrecy.

The aerial hunters flew directly from their base in New Mexico into Mexico, launching a large-scale raid on drug cartel strongholds.

Ground troops then entered, with thousands of human soldiers leading thousands of AI soldiers. They first rescued all the employees and their families from Aurora, and then began to fill in any gaps and eliminate any remaining survivors.

Aurora did a ruthless job, not only killing 23 gang members of all kinds in one night, but also eliminating bankers, accountants, lawyers, police officers, and judges who were detected in the system as money laundering agents and had been bribed.

The Mexican government expressed its dissatisfaction to the US government during the operation, arguing that regardless of whether they were drug traffickers or not, it was unacceptable to cross borders and kill Mexican citizens in such an outrageous manner.

With no response, Mexico directly dispatched its own armed forces to retaliate against the aurora, and they too were taken away.

Eighteen hours after the operation, having eliminated all opposition forces in Mexico, Aurora withdrew. Subsequently, US government troops entered Mexico and declared martial law to prevent a resurgence of drug trafficking.

This unnamed aurora display greatly provoked the international community.

Although many Mexicans took to the streets to cheer and welcome the U.S. military, for them, any normal government is better than the Mexican government.

Despite many people whose families have been killed by drug dealers, some have even started to enshrine dog heads with aurora borealis and jasmine seals in their homes.

Although these drug dealers are indeed utterly wicked and heinous.

However, the act of large-scale invasion of a sovereign state and killing people without trial still terrifies countless people.

The United Nations has almost unanimously begun to oppose the hegemonic behavior of the United States, and has called Aurora a butcher company, saying that killing people without trial is a serious regression in the judiciary.

France and Germany, who are still resisting the aurora in Europe, have gained new supporters. Some people with questionable morals who originally hoped the aurora would be able to enter the country are now starting to consider whether Chen Yiran is the kind of populist judge who tends to execute all crimes.

There were also large-scale demonstrations within the United States, with many people holding signs that said they stood with Mexicans.

The largest of these organizations is an organization called the Anti-Aurora Association.

In Washington, D.C., the organization's leader, Eva, stood on the stage and declared aggressively: "Three hundred thousand innocent humans have been brutally murdered by AI! If we do not stop the aurora's behavior, humanity will eventually perish!"

There weren't many supporters in the audience, only four or five hundred.

These people really have no choice; most of them were among the most vocal critics when Aurora Wetware first came out.

At the time, Chen Yiran tweeted that he would use Aurora technology to perform facial recognition on each person, making them permanently unable to use Aurora products.

They initially thought it was just a distant threat. Who knew Chen Yiran was so petty and actually meant it?

They gradually discovered that they could no longer use any of Aurora's products! From mobile phones to online accounts, and later even roaming users who wanted to become therapists due to serious illnesses, nothing worked!

Once Aurora's system recognizes them, the staff will ask them to leave.

It wasn't that no one tried to throw a tantrum or beg for mercy, but the AI ​​robot didn't care and just threw the person out of the store like a chick.

This also makes later visitors hesitant to take the initiative to protest against the aurora, since they will still need aurora technology to achieve immortality in the future, and even now, if they can't enter the oasis, they are basically out of touch with society.

So only these few hundred people, who were condemned to death by the aurora from the very beginning, have persisted in opposing it.

Yuma County, a temporary shelter for aurora.

Miguel and his family embraced and wept bitterly. Beside them was another family, who were uneasy. They had nothing to do with the aurora; they were Miguel's neighbors. They were simply brought up by the aurora investigators because Miguel's family mentioned it when they left.

Miguel began to comfort his older brother, who had been caught in a gang shootout while his wife and children were visiting her parents' home, and the whole family had perished. Now that they were in a safe place, the older brother began to break down emotionally. He felt that he should have been more determined to try running away to America with his younger brother; perhaps his wife and children wouldn't have died.

With a clang, a man in red armor walked over.

"Miguel, your family has brought you here. You will take them to the employee center to register as your relatives and see what they can do."

Aurora takes good care of its own people, prioritizing all work for its employees' families. Also, Lady Jasmine especially loves being praised, so please praise Lady Jasmine often, especially in places with cameras, okay?

Miguel didn't find it funny; he quickly led his family and neighbors toward the camera and began to flatter it.

"That, that Lady Jasmine is the strongest, the kindest, the greatest! Lady Jasmine is the cornerstone of Aurora!"

"Yes, Boss Chen can consider retiring! Lady Jasmine can lead us to a better future."

"I choose Lady Jasmine; she is the one everyone wants!"

Looking at the flamboyant family, the man in red armor scratched his head and said, "It's alright, even though it's a bit extravagant, as long as they brag in front of the camera occasionally. Also, don't call him Boss Chen. He's not that petty; he doesn't care if his employees tease him a bit."

But you should call him Chairman, right? It would be best if you could watch some anime like EVA. The Aurora employee forum has a list of the Chairman's preferences, so take a look and don't make any mistakes.

"Don't focus so much on the work. Robots can do that. Why hire so many ordinary people? It's just so you have something to do, so you can chat and boast a little."

Miguel smiled broadly: "I know, I know. Well, look at my neighbor's family, two elderly people with a 20-year-old granddaughter. What are they going to do?"

"We, Aurora, rescued everyone; we can't just ignore the aftermath, can we? Kind Jasmine can't agree to this either."

The man in red armor stood still for a few seconds, seemingly consulting with someone.

"Alright, for now we'll consider you a family member. Go to the center and see if there's anything we can do."

Miguel nodded, then gave what he considered a rather handsome smile to the petite little girl who filled him with a protective instinct.

The two families then went to the employee center, as they were still most worried about their jobs, given the high cost of living in the United States and the fact that they didn't even have legal status.

Fortunately, after registering at the center, they all got simple mushroom farming jobs.

Miguel led everyone to find accommodation; Aurora was one of the few companies that directly provided housing. In the sparsely populated Yuma, they even offered high-quality villas.

Then he led everyone to the mushroom greenhouse and began to introduce it to them with great enthusiasm.

"This is where we work, the black velvet breeding area. If it's a new area, we just need to operate the spraying robot to spray a mixture of spores and nutrient solution."

Look at this black fungal carpet; underneath it is an electrode network that can generate a lot of electricity!

We usually call it a carpet. It grows very quickly and doesn't require much intervention.

Our main job is picking mushrooms. As soon as mushrooms sprout, we pick them and take them to the oil pressing factory over there.

Then there's the secondary task: black velvet often corrodes various pipes and grows inside. We basically have to clean it once a week, but because I'm so free, I scrape it off almost every day.

That's the job. It's actually quite simple, but remember to be careful when entering and exiting the shower. Spores escaping can be a real problem and will result in a deduction from your pay.

The pretty little girl next door, Himena, stared wide-eyed and asked, "Is it really that simple? The staff member just said our salary is $5 a month, plus a 10-day interest bonus?"

Miguel puffed out his chest and said, "We're employees of Aurora! How can we be compared to other small companies? We're not short of money. Besides, don't underestimate the ordinary work we do; it's high-tech. You know SpaceX, right? You know Starship? It all uses our mushroom-shaped structure to get up there."

What is SpaceX? What is Starship?

"...I'll take you to see Oasis tomorrow. It's launching tomorrow, and as we said before, we all get a day off so we can watch the launch up close from Oasis. Anyway, Aurora is going to claim territory on the moon!"
