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

Lanai Island, Aurora's high-level meeting, several people are arguing frantically about something.

Eagle sighed and said, "Can't we tone it down a little? We're in a very passive position right now. Although Oasis has more and more users, many people still prefer the realistic tactile feel."

Our Disney theme parks are all family-oriented. We've roughly estimated that our revenue may decline by 7% over the next three months.

I suggest that at least Nachito and Chen Modong be transferred. The argument is that although they were attacked first, they had the ability to de-escalate the conflict, yet they didn't adopt a better strategy.

Amy Zeggart slammed her hand on the table: "Those two helped us achieve our strategic goals quickly, why should they be transferred?"

Igor reassured them, "Could you also consider the work of our media department? It's just a transfer, not a demotion or anything. Just give them a break for a while, and then we'll let them out."

"If we do this, how will we carry out our work in the future? What if the frontline soldiers become hesitant and timid?"

Eagle was speechless, feeling a bit resentful towards Jobs for planting a huge time bomb for him.

He had always followed Steve Jobs's last wish and kept up with Chen Yiran.

The trend is quite positive. Apple and Disney have successfully merged and acquired even more companies, showing signs of growing bigger and stronger.

Then, a few years later, this "good" became a bit too good.

This led him, who used to be involved in entertainment, to actually start thinking about the problems of frontline soldiers.

Moreover, the situation of the company's senior management also made him very uncomfortable. There are currently three types of people in the company's senior management. One type is those who have followed Chen Yiran since the FlowEDA era. They have been deeply brainwashed, and their core belief is that whatever Chen Yiran says is right.

These people are gradually losing their reverence for life.

The second type of people is even more outrageous: a group of scientists who were on the verge of death were saved by the aurora, as well as some researchers who voluntarily became modifiers in order to improve their brain performance.

This group is even more outrageous than the first group. They have absolutely no respect for life. After Chen Yiran opened the door to a new world for them, they have lost all respect for life.

The third group consisted of three managers who joined later: Amy Zegart and Alan Mulally.

The three of them gradually formed different ecological niches. Alan Mulally had focused on manufacturing and paid no attention to company policies.

The conflict between Eagle and Amy is much more frequent. Amy is a super extremist who tends to think that if there is enough force, the world should be reshaped directly.

Igor, on the other hand, believes that the world can be reshaped, but can't the methods be softened a bit?

The two often clash at high-level meetings, and this incident in Mexico is another example of this.

Given Aurora's capabilities, there are actually many ways to achieve the goal in a more dignified manner.

However, under Amy's leadership, the people below became extremely efficient, completely disregarding decorum.

Igor even felt that the small group of adjusters below were deliberately causing trouble, wanting to show off the power of the Aurora.

Neither of them could convince the other, and after arguing for a long time, they finally looked at Chen Yiran.

Chen Yiran tilted his head, watching the high-definition remastered version of Battlestar Galactica that Jasmine had shown him in his mind, when he suddenly realized that the venue had quieted down and everyone's eyes were on him.

He scratched his head, feeling that this incident was not a simple, isolated event, and that his handling of it might directly change the overall strategy of the subsequent Aurora Operation.

It's frustrating. On one hand, he doesn't want to deal with the two of them, but if he doesn't, wouldn't it seem too immoral?

After all, quite a few people died.

After thinking for a long time, he remembered a sentence that Nachito said when he saw the original video, which made him make up his mind.

"Destroy all original videos, just use the modified ones as they are now, and issue a gag order."

Eagle felt somewhat disappointed; he felt the company had taken another step closer to becoming the villain of a science fiction novel.

After all, he was a high-ranking official who had always been dedicated to his work, so Chen Yiran still explained a few words: "Iger, I know you are kind-hearted, but have you considered this question? Why didn't these damn priests dare to lead people to attack the gang back then, but they dared to lead people to attack us?"

To put it bluntly, they just think we're kind and weak! If we don't take a stand on this issue, similar problems will keep popping up in the future.

Not only will we not treat them, we will also promote Nachito and Chen Modong and give them important positions!

Alright, alright, let's stop talking about these trivial matters and get to the most important issue today: we're officially entering the Middle East.

"Come on, Philby, you explain the situation to them."

A Coordinator stood up. He was a humanoid Steel Coordinator with a screen on his face, displaying a portrait of Shinji Ikari.

The others began to mutter to themselves that this person was probably a bootlicker and most likely not a real anime fan; he was just using the avatar to curry favor with Chen Yiran.

It's worth noting that Chen Yiran's current everyday attire is the same style of blazer worn by Commander Ikari.

Philby first bowed to Chen Yiran, then waved to activate the latest holographic projection for his explanation.

"According to our calculations, the amount of black velvet we currently have in North and South America is still insufficient. After all, the fuel required to support interstellar travel is enormous. Moreover, we are also considering making black velvet a conventional energy source, replacing oil."

Therefore, the Middle East is a place we must take over. Fortunately, the countries in the Middle East have good relations with us, so it is relatively easier.

Our current idea is to cover the entire Rub' al Khali Desert with black velvet.

The Rub' al Khali Desert stretches across Saudi Arabia, Oman, the UAE, and Yemen. It covers 650,000 square kilometers, of which at least 500,000 square kilometers are completely uninhabited.

We estimate that this could bring the annual production of linseed oil to 16.5 billion tons. In terms of energy, this would be enough to completely replace global oil production.

Of course, according to our calculations, there may be many side effects. The first is the albedo. The albedo of the desert is about 0.35, while the albedo of black velvet carpet is close to that of asphalt, less than 0.1.

The average annual solar radiation on the desert surface is about 265 watts per square meter, which results in the absorption of about 72 watts per square meter per year. This leads to a sharp increase in temperature in some local areas.

Secondly, there's the carbon sequestration effect of black velvet. Assuming each square meter sequesters approximately 10.3 kg of carbon dioxide per year, 50 square kilometers would amount to 51 billion tons annually, equivalent to 14% of global emissions. Some more aggressive models even calculate it to 200 billion tons, exceeding half.

This could lead to global cooling, and we need to observe the specific consequences.

Eagle sat below, feeling a chill run down his spine. He was increasingly able to understand why Alan Mulally focused on manufacturing and was unwilling to come to headquarters to participate in discussions about specific matters.

These things were far beyond his comprehension. Could they now directly affect global temperatures and the aurora borealis?

He couldn't help but ask, "And shouldn't global cooling be a good thing? We've been talking about global warming all the time, so will the cooling down neutralize it?"

However, current meteorological research still holds differing opinions regarding the Earth as a whole.

Chen Yiran tapped the table and said, "Let's stop worrying about Mexico. We've already occupied it. Let them launch a counterattack if they dare."

In the next phase, Aurora's mission mainly consists of three parts. The first is to formally enter the Middle East and begin deploying Black Velvet. This will allow various Middle Eastern countries to still have sufficient capital even after oil becomes obsolete.

Second, the construction of spacecraft remains a very important task.

Third, don't think that spaceships have any military deterrent effect. This is different from science fiction movies. We don't have any concrete ideas about so-called space-level weapons yet.

Therefore, the AI-enabled weapons of all allied countries cannot stop. Within a year and a half, we need to connect the weapons of the United States, the major Eastern power, Singapore, the United Kingdom and other European countries, as well as those of the Middle East, Australia, South America, Japan and South Korea with AI!

Abandon illusions, prepare for battle.
