Volume 4: Walking in the Solar System Chapter 35: Confidence

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    United Technologies Corporation's "Alchemy Furnace" comprehensive research project has achieved a lot of results. Although the investment is staggering, it is fully worthy of its name.  The company makes more money, and many major scientific and technological achievements come from this super project that cost nearly 300 billion Australian dollars, equivalent to about 500 billion U.S. dollars.  Although the company started late and is not as good as the French and Japanese who have been planning for a long time, it has kept up with the times.  Deep mining technology is the signature of the company's mining group WGM, and this technology can be used not only for gold mining.

    Han Shumei got her wish, and a golden house was erected at Sunway Playground. It was not to show off, but to prove that United Technologies' technology was no different from other facilities.  According to the company's custom, major research institutes and industrial groups are eligible to display their own signboards at Sunway Playground for visitors to visit.  Therefore, the Mining Group built this golden house that cost 200 million gold coupons and inlaid various gemstones on the roof. It is the most valuable building in the entire amusement park.

    The gold storm stems from the vicious cycle of the international financial system. This is the view of the mainstream media.  United Technologies' habit of collecting and storing gold is hard to define because it falls within the realm of what is acceptable.  Some people believe that Weizhou's crazy hoarding of gold is a booster, and it is not an exaggeration to say it is a trigger.

    The distrust between groups is the direct cause of the proliferation of gold. The management of United Technologies is certainly unwilling to do such boring things as artificial gold, but others believe that the company has the ability to achieve low cost, so they also invest heavily in research on artificial gold.  .  When the French fell below three times the cost, they were already panicking, worried that Citigroup, which was not inferior to its own technology, could do better.  Gallic roosters do things very uniquely, and even technically, their behavior cannot be inferred by common sense.

    The gold storm will happen sooner or later. Technology is advancing, but a unified global credit currency cannot be established due to conflicts of interest between various groups.  In the process of rapid improvement of social productivity, the financial crisis first occurred, which shows that mainstream groups are not clean. They want to occupy most of the results brought about by technological innovation through financial means.

    This storm has caused heavy losses to various countries. Citigroup¡¯s delay and system are considered to be the main culprits in causing the situation to be out of control, so they are rushing to demand compensation from Citigroup.  There is fierce fighting within Washington due to the reorganization of major forces, and the three major intelligence agencies are trying to undermine each other.  Compared with the NSA and FBI, which are mainly based in China, CIA, a giant in the international intelligence community with numerous overseas branches, will inevitably suffer damage.

    Li Zhuang was watching the joke. He didn't expect that Washington would bring trouble eastward and directly sue the company. However, he was not afraid now. "Soldiers will stop them, and water will cover them. Who is afraid of whom? Washington thought that ten years ago, he could always find someone to stop him."  There is no reason to rob us, and the worst is not to enter the Citigroup market."

    "Haha, yes, that's how human society is. Strength comes first. The Golden Storm is not our problem. If it's not their turn, they will pick up a big stick and hit us on the head. Who is afraid of who?"

    Zhou Qisen¡¯s voice is relaxed and cheerful. It is completely different from ten years ago. At that time, he was the most tired person in the company, working more than fifteen hours a day, especially when Li Zhuang was under house arrest.

    "Let Zhang Mingde deal with it. He has been idle for a long time. How come he is like me now? He spends all his time thinking about teaching astronomy. He has opened an international classroom using virtual reality technology. It is almost the same as giving lectures on the spot. Yes.  One of the people who pioneered virtual teaching.

    "How about I also give a virtual teaching? So as not to run around." Li Zhuang had a sudden thought, and then shook his head, feeling that it was still necessary to go out for a walk. No matter how developed the Internet is, it cannot replace the communication between real people.  Weizhou and Yale are too far apart. Zhang Mingde probably thought of this trick because he didn't want to fly frequently.  He is now the dean of Sunway University Law School and is very busy.  Compared with law, artificial intelligence involves multiple disciplines and cannot be solved by purely liberal arts methods.

    The Artificial Intelligence Research Institute has now been expanded into a complete three-level system, with six subordinate units including the Intelligent Machine Research Institute, the Smart Life Research Institute, the Automation Research Institute, the Robotics Research Institute, the Artificial Intelligence Theory Research Institute and the Brain Science Research Institute. Researchers  It is well equipped, including auxiliary departments and engineers working in affiliated factories, with nearly 40,000 people, exceeding Li Zhuang's expectations.

    "Tom Cat" is the director of the Automation Research Institute. He basically doesn't go back to Citigroup except for NAE meetings.  The heads of other departments are all students of Li Zhuang. He is keen on teaching, but in fact it is just to be lazy. Of course, few people realize this.  There is now a gathering of elites here, and no matter whether it is internal management, intellectual intensity or research and development progress, it is not inferior to other institutions.

    The Artificial Intelligence Research Institute was established just over ten years ago. At first, Li Zhuang was just a polished commander. After Thomas joined, he shared the research pressure in the field of automation for him. He was also considered Jin Guozheng¡¯s teacher, and the two got along well with each other.

    The director of the Intelligent Machine Research Institute is Wang Chengmin.  The director of the Intelligent Life Research Institute is Qian Lin.I just exchanged places with Jiro Tanaka, who officially became the director of his favorite robotics research institute.  The director of the Institute of Artificial Intelligence Theory is Hauge Guster, and Wang Chen is officially the deputy director. The results of the research of the Fourth Bureau can be used on smartphones. This organization is actually Li Zhuang's personal assistant.

    The director of the Brain Research Institute is a girl from France named Emma DuBois, with a very ordinary name.  Her father works at the Medical Research Institute and her mother is an application engineer at wai.  Emma DuBois is both a parent and a mother, and she just meets the requirements of this position.  The position had been occupied until Miss DuBois had stepped down a year earlier.

    Emma is a student of Li Zhuang, but the computer expert's poor knowledge in thinking science and neuroscience can no longer cope with professionals. Except for the fields she is good at, she has to figure out everything else by herself.  What troubles Li Zhuang is that this pretty girl is entangled with Daniel Bernard. Little Bernard went to work at the Institute of Applied Physics, and he might be trying to avoid her.

    "I hope the internal romance will not cause trouble. Fortunately, the company is big. Like some units, if these two people cannot get together in the end, someone will definitely choose to leave." Li Zhuang muttered and secretly rejoiced.

    Little Bernard went back to France for half a year last year. When Li Zhuang thought he would choose to work in Paris, the little guy ran back and said it was uncomfortable and weird there.  He first worked at the Intelligent Life Research Institute for a period of time, and then transferred to the Institute of Applied Physics at the beginning of the year.

    Genius is genius. Bernard Jr.¡¯s research has greatly improved the range of activities of robots, and the combat efficiency of combat robots has been greatly improved. This result is very different from his original desire to benefit mankind.  Of course, little Bernard has no intention of paying attention to this. He has been closely associated with the Energy Research Institute recently.

    "It took ten years to finally succeed. It's not easy." Li Zhuang sat on the chair and stretched, feeling relaxed and happy.  The cohesion of the Artificial Intelligence Research Institute is one of the best among major research institutes, and his and Thomas' hard work has paid off.  Foundation needs to be accumulated. Over the years, the company's management has spent a lot of energy on Sunway Education Group and Wesson Academy of Social Sciences, trying their best to cultivate the company's follow-up echelon and establish an upgradable cycle model.

    Based on the cross-influence of mixed cultural heritage and benign social operation, Weizhou has formed a complete system, and its own development mechanism is close to perfection.  Although other groups criticized Weizhou's approach, people still moved to Weizhou in an endless stream.  Citizens have the right to move freely, because land in the Great Sand Desert is purchased by companies or individual employees. The conditions in these places are not good, and the population of Kimberley City, which is rich in water resources, has increased dramatically.  Each of its districts is an independent municipal administrative district. Cities such as Kunmunya, Kalumburu, Wyndham, Halls Creek and Gordon Downs all have a population of more than 400,000.

    On the surface, United Technologies has not made much progress in recent years, but it is far more streamlined than it was six years ago, and the power and relationship network that management can use are several times greater than before.  As long as the new generation born in Weizhou grows up, this mixed cultural system can be said to be profound.

    "Haha, I'm not afraid now. The most you can use is the navy and space force. Do you think Australia's navy and air force are not up to par?" The computer expert felt reassured when he recalled the development of Australia's three armed forces over the years.

    The strength of the Australian Navy is growing at an annual rate of 30% with the funding of WLMs and the company's management. By last year, it had two large aircraft carriers, four cruisers of 15,000 tons, thirty-two destroyers and frigates of more than 7,000 tons, and  A military force of 20 submarines.  With the support of the air force, it is enough to maintain the security of Australia, a large island.

    As the saying goes, the reasonable are afraid of the unreasonable, the unreasonable are afraid of the unreasonable, and the unreasonable are afraid of their lives.  Li Zhuang is the kind of person who likes to reason, which is why United Technologies' legal department has grown to a daunting scale.  Unreasonable, the computer expert has never been afraid after moving to Australia, his mind is not that rigid.  There are only two things he's afraid of, those who act recklessly and those who don't care about his life.

    Ten years ago, United Technologies was already a large enterprise with more than 100,000 employees, and it needed to face big forces.  Ordinary people have their own security staff to deal with their mischief. These people are very powerful and they don't have to worry about gangsters and the like.

    In the past, everyone knew that the most violent force on earth was Lao Maozi, who was brutal and rude. Later, the Yankee family became the dominant one and became very domineering.  Since the founding of Wilson-Lee United Technologies, it has been frequently blackmailed by Washington, resulting in losses of more than 100 billion U.S. dollars.  There are many names, and the conditions dreamed up by politicians and the CIA often cause headaches for management.  However, most of the company's business is overseas, so this problem is very serious.

    Among the undercover agents and moles uncovered by the company¡¯s internal affairs department, in order of origin, they came from Citigroup, China, Russia, Japan, the United Kingdom, France and Germany, and only 10% came from other forces.??

    The desperate assassins come from dozens of forces, including Australia itself. This is the reason why the Intelligence Bureau of the Ministry of Security was established.  Li Zhuang is very grateful that he is still alive, having experienced hundreds of assassinations in ten years.  He retaliates in kind, and Harris and Simpson are overjoyed. They used to have to think twice before doing experiments, but now they stay in the underground research institute all day without leaving.

    Pressure is driving force. The strength of the military industrial group WLMs has grown rapidly. The research and development progress of the Military Industrial Research Institute is comparable to that of World War II and the Cold War. The number of employees and budget of the Safety Committee have far exceeded the needs of ordinary commercial enterprises.  Most of the core employees were not in a very good state of mind when they arrived. They were worried that their good life would be lost. The entire system worked together to develop various advanced equipment.

    Skills cannot be supplemented by strength. This is a typical thinking of scientific researchers.  The management has no confidence in strategically defeating the old underground forces who cannot be guessed by common sense, because most of them are mentally disturbed; they also don¡¯t want to compete with politicians, because they really can¡¯t compete.  While the three military forces of the Security Council have been significantly expanded, efforts have been made to improve the combat effectiveness of the Australian military.

    Li Zhuang¡¯s original joke was actually his true thoughts. No matter how courageous the Australian Navy is, if the quality and quantity of its armaments cannot keep up, it will be impossible for it to withstand the turmoil of the Citizen Navy.  Canberra can argue with Washington afterwards, but the company's losses will be significant, as modern weapons are too powerful.

    Destroyers, frigates, cruisers, aircraft carriers, conventional submarines, nuclear submarines, tactical strategic missiles, strategic laser defense, armed helicopters, drones, c5i, combat robots, electromagnetic gun tanks, electronic warfare armored vehicles, fully protected metal exoskeletons, electromagnetic guns,  A combination of high-performance individual weapons and a wide variety of high-energy military food are placed in front of the Australian armed forces, half sold and half given away.

    Some of these equipment are orders from the Australian military, and some are developed by the Military Industry Research Institute with reference to parameters announced by other major countries.

    ¡°The nerves at United Technologies are a little abnormal!¡± Australian media commented afterwards.  The National Assembly, the Prime Minister's Office and the Ministry of National Defense are all confused. The difference is that the National Assembly and the Prime Minister's Office do not know how to deal with it, while the Ministry of National Defense is confused, except for the minister.

    Although the three armed forces of Australia mainly use military products from Citigroup and the United Kingdom, no one is willing to let other countries control their own lifeline. A country that cannot independently develop its own military equipment cannot become a real great power.  The entry of a large number of high-quality new immigrants has weakened the energy of the local die-hard forces. The mass recruitment of young people from Wisconsin and the frequent joining of retired officers and soldiers of the Australian Armed Forces in the company's security department have reorganized the internal structure of the Australian Armed Forces.

    WLMs has a close relationship with the Australian armed forces. The Australian Army and Air Force have military bases in Wisconsin, and the Navy has military ports in La Grange and Kunmunia. The WLMs military shipyard is located near the WLMs military shipyard.  On the one hand, it is supervision. United Technologies has a lot of troubles, and weirdos are everywhere here; on the other hand, it is protection, especially the numerous shipyards from La Grange to Waller Downs and the asa in New York City.  .

    The three armed forces have about 200,000 troops in Weizhou. This is Australian territory. Canberra¡¯s taxes and donations from the Weizhou system account for about half of its fiscal revenue. The three armed forces are obliged to protect the security of Weizhou.

    Any normal country, if its citizens and companies are intimidated and arbitrarily detained by foreign forces, if the military does not dare to step forward, then there is no need for such a cowardly force to exist, unless it does not belong to the country but to some group.

    The Weizhou Police Department is responsible for maintaining law and order in Weizhou, the United Technologies Corporation Security Department is responsible for the company's internal security, and the Australian military maintains the external security of Weizhou.  The military expenditures of Australia's three armed forces come from federal financial allocations. The finance itself has no money. A large number of companies and citizens, including United Technologies Corporation, pay various taxes and fees to maintain the operation of the federal government.

    In a modern country, there is a prerequisite for saying that taxation is an obligation, that is, there must be a mutually recognized contract, otherwise it is no different from a feudal country.  Li Zhuang is a staunch supporter of the tax contract theory. He has discussed these in his published sociology articles and improved some of the shortcomings of the social contract theory according to his own understanding. Weizhou's management system should be regarded as a slowly advancing experiment.  Taste.

    Li Zhuang thought this way. Regardless of whether others agreed or not, he firmly moved forward in this direction.  Weizhou has the conditions for implementation because it has an original contract and a complete system.  With the development of the times, the difficulty of perfecting the social contract theory is increasing, and public power has a tendency to overflow. This comes from the unavoidable bad nature of human beings.

    Thinking about it, the computer expert couldn't help but laugh. "I am not doing my job right now. I am thinking about these things all day long. Could it be that I have been invaded by thoughts? We now have enough talents. No one is irreplaceable, and we don't need to be afraid of abnormal means.  "

    The Chairman¡¯s soliloquy is the reality of United Technologies Corporation.  The resignation and reassignment of management this time have caused almost no damage to the company.As soon as Wolfman left, Dr. Rodolfo Reed, another nb award winner, took his place.  His reputation is not as great as that of Hoffman, but his management ability is stronger.

    "This is the confidence. At least you don't have to be as worried as last time." Li Zhuang was thinking of the trouble that happened a few years ago, which was related to the "Wesson Act" and nuclear weapons.

    When United Technologies first adjusted, Washington was too busy to play the role of world policeman.  After the United Nations withdrew the supervision team, the company's management celebrated. Unexpectedly, a few years later, Washington came back and proposed to break up United Technologies and develop weapons of mass destruction on the grounds that United Technologies violated the Wesson Act.  Reasons to investigate management.

    "It doesn't matter if you can't find the loopholes, you can make them up. Washington doesn't do this kind of thing once or twice."  CIA obtained some information through undercover agents and traitors, and based on this, they fabricated many documents, which were quite decent.  Washington's methods are not terrible, and the management's careful thinking is enough to make these boring little things disappear invisibly.

    The trouble comes from the restrictions of the International Atomic Energy Agency and the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, of which Australia is a signatory, and the International Atomic Energy Agency, a lackey of Citigroup.  The daring actions of the Institute of Theoretical Physics and the Australian military plunged United Technologies into a huge crisis. Canberra was devastated after receiving the news.
