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

A discreet convoy of Aurora vehicles is steadily making its way to Washington, D.C.

The car was carrying two of Aurora's top executives: one was Katharine, who had risen from a medical dropout to the governor of Hawaii in just a few years.

Another is Bob Iger, the former head of Disney. After Disney merged with Apple, Chen Yiran brought him into Aurora Company as a senior executive.

This trip was a skill-showing adventure for the two of them. The car they were in no longer used gasoline, but rather a fuel cell engine, or enzyme fuel cell.

Thanks to the high strength of the cellulose oil, the cellulose oil chamber is very small. After the core enzyme stack is installed, it is decomposed and electrons are released. It can then work after passing through the current collector.

The overall design of the vehicle is completely different from that of previous gasoline and electric vehicles. With the addition of AI, autonomous driving has become a standard feature.

Catherine looked at the small bottle in her hand, still finding it somewhat unbelievable.

"This is amazing! This dark-looking thing is incredibly powerful."

Eagle nodded: "I knew this stuff was powerful before, but I had no idea how it was used in rockets. This is quite an eye-opener. Seven kilograms of lint is equivalent to five hundred kilograms of batteries. That's just outrageous."

The fuel tank on this car is practically a small container, only 20 kilograms, yet it can travel 2,000 kilometers. I even think it's a bit of a waste to give this thing to ordinary people.

Catherine thought about it and felt it was a bit wasteful, but there was no other way. Promoting black velvet to replace oil was Chen Yiran's future policy.

This time, the two will tour the west, carrying the black velvet on the back of the heavy truck and various velvet-covered oil trucks in front for display.

The two also wanted to take this opportunity to improve the image of the aurora.

Recently, Aurora's reputation has taken a sharp turn for the worse. It's the kind of thing where people don't dare to criticize it out loud, but they secretly dislike it.

Chen Yiran didn't care about this at all. He actually felt that most people weren't annoyed by the aurora's recent aggressiveness.

His main problem is his aversion to the various policies implemented by Aurora in the Oasis, which is the same as when he used to curse the game developers in his previous life.

He felt that based on the value of Black Velvet, even nuclear power plants would have to take a backseat, so the best way to promote it was to just sit at home and invite people to come and admire it.

However, since two key figures within the company had this idea of ​​manipulating public opinion, he allowed them to begin this publicity campaign.

The convoy departed from Yuma and planned to travel through several states, stopping in the capital of each state to showcase Black Velvet's various capabilities and then discuss subsequent cooperation and promotion.

They drove all the way to Washington, D.C., and then held some kind of ceremony at the Capitol.

However, the unexpected happened very quickly. Just two hours after the convoy set off, the security convoy in front of them suddenly stopped.

While the two people in the car were still confused, the car's AI assistant spoke up.

"A security issue has arisen. We've activated the contingency plan and need to retreat."

The car made a U-turn on the spot, and the entire convoy sped back.

At that moment, several strangely shaped robots suddenly sprang out of the soil on both sides of the road and crashed into the cars at the front, instantly blocking the road.

Then, countless well-equipped special forces personnel poured out from the dense forest on both sides and began firing at the convoy.

Their objective was clear; they didn't seem to want to leave any survivors.

Because of Chen Yiran, Aurora has always been very concerned about safety.

The security detail for this trip by the two bigwigs was also quite strong, consisting of 15 vehicles and a team of dozens of humanoid robots.

In a direct confrontation, this force would be enough to withstand an army of thousands.

Unfortunately, they were ambushed, with countless suicide robots and enemies armed with rocket launchers appearing on both sides.

Five minutes later, there were no survivors left in the convoy.

A commander, completely covered in protective clothing, arrived with his men and began taking samples from the wreckage.

"Hurry, hurry! Five minutes! We need to evacuate in five minutes!"

Their deployment was meticulous. Several people quickly ran to the truck behind and collected the black velvet fungus that had been blown to pieces into some specially made jars.

Then the group ran back to both sides of the road and split into numerous small teams to escape.

This place is extremely desolate; there is no one for dozens of kilometers around, and the nearest settlement is a dilapidated little village with only about a hundred people.

Not far to the south is a U.S. Air Force firing range, a 6900-square-kilometer military restricted area under both ground and air control.

Most people went in this direction, preparing to escape from here.

The other two small teams went north and fled upstream and downstream along the river.

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

When the incident occurred, Chen Yiran was playing games on Oasis.

Jasmine's voice appeared in a hurry.

[Something's happened! Something's happened! Catherine and Eagle's convoy has been attacked!]

Chen Yiran was stunned for a moment, but still used his skill on a high-level player in front of him, and the numerical advantage made the opponent disappear into thin air.

"What's going on?! Their security personnel should be able to handle this, right?!"

It's hard to say, hard to say. Those two idiots. We asked them to apply for air support to enter the controlled area for protection, but they thought it was too much trouble and didn't apply. They didn't even bring their armored vehicles, saying it was too high-profile.

Being ambushed and subjected to heavy firepower could lead to disaster.

"!!! Didn't I tell them to take 5 people? How many did they actually take?"

[I only brought 15 adjustment personnel and a few dozen robots, but mainly no tanks. I've already checked the satellite feed; would you like to see the footage?]

"I don't want to look, it makes me uneasy. I hope there are no problems with the dungeon plan. I didn't expect so many people to be involved in the second dungeon plan."

No problem, I've detected that 15 people have died. The satellite has received the signal and will begin the rebirth process immediately.

The robots present have already uploaded their consciousness in real time. I've communicated with them, and they're very professional. They discovered that underground bunkers have likely been dug on both sides of the road.

This is strange; our information monitoring has found absolutely no clues.

What should we do now?

"What can we do? Fight! The satellites are watching us the whole time, let's send people to arrest these guys first!"

Oh, it seems that the group's target was Black Velvet. They stole the Black Velvet Fungus and ran away, splitting into four groups. Two groups took the waterway, and two groups went through the military restricted area.

The monitoring on the waterway might be problematic; the topographical maps are too complex. As for the military restricted area, there are administrative issues; we'd need to apply to Congress, etc. What should we do?

"What a bunch of idiots! The black velvet is despore-free, otherwise how could we possibly take it out?"

Those idiots either don't know, or they might just be gambling on a possible reverse transfer. What do we do now? I've already contacted people and gone there; should we go to Congress to apply for permission first?

Chen Yiran thought of Catherine, who had worked diligently since the company was founded, and Eagle, who had helped him after Jobs' death, and felt somewhat angry.

Even if the dungeon plan can be reborn, the experience of dying will not be pleasant.

Besides, not everyone is so easy to accept becoming a person who needs adjustment. It's not like they're sick. If they're not mentally prepared, they might need counseling later.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Screw administrative issues. By the time the procedures are finished, the person will have already disappeared. Catherine is the governor of Hawaii. Now that something has happened, Aurora is going to arrest her to protect American dignity! Go and arrest her directly!"

If any government troops try to stop them, kill them! The same goes for the waterways; send people to intercept them immediately.

Furthermore, use all available resources to find out exactly how these people managed to evade all electronic surveillance and carry out this ambush. There must be a very experienced force behind this.

Okay, it's already being done.

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

The DuPont family home in Delaware.

The nine DuPont family members stared intently at the satellite images. They saw that Aurora's reinforcements were arriving very quickly, and neither the military restricted area nor the two teams using the river seemed to be able to evade capture.

The current head of the family, Elter Irene du Pont VIII, took a deep breath.

"They must have fooled him. Everything is proceeding according to plan. We shouldn't make any moves in the short term. We need to calm down and wait at least a year before going to pick him up. There are enough supplies stored there for him to live on; he won't have any problems."

His son, Pierre Dupont, nodded in agreement: "The person who knew about the waterway will take his own life; his wife and son are in our hands."

Regardless of whether we ultimately obtain the black velvet, at least the initial and final stages have been resolved cleanly.

DuPont VIII smiled and said, "Now, everything is going according to plan. There can be no unusual behavior. Those who are going to attend the reception will still go, and those who are going to interviews will still go. In short, there can be no unusual activity."

And remember, electronic devices are unreliable; even a whisper can be overheard! Remember that! Don't deliberately avoid carrying your phone every day; strictly adhere to the code of conduct.
