Agriculture Maniac

Chapter 553 Banquet
When Yu Yang, Lao Shi, and Lao Bu gathered at Shungeng Mountain Villa.

North America.

Morgan Estate.

Welch strode into the study, his forehead covered in sweat.

“Mr. Morgan, the oil tycoon did indeed die at the hands of our people, but all those top-secret documents have disappeared.”

"for example?"

"Brain-computer interface technology, electroencephalogram (EEG) recognition technology, deep brain stimulation (DBS) technology, spinal cord stimulation (SBS) technology, vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) technology, closed-loop neural stimulation (LOL) technology, neuronal control technology, brain-in-vacuum container technology, biological nutrient solution formulation, cortical electrode implantation technology, human-machine neuromodulation technology..."

Old Morgan narrowed his eyes slightly. "Didn't get a single one?"

"Yes, including the database's storage and the graphics card matrix's video memory, which have been washed by other data hundreds of thousands of times, making them difficult to restore."

As Welch spoke, he played a surveillance video.

on the screen.

Inside the oil tycoon's underground core laboratory, countless security guards and hunting dogs are on a tight patrol.

According to the backend data, all automated equipment, including infrared, thermal, and radar sensors, as well as armed robots, are operating normally.

next second.

Seven or eight slender figures, shrouded in black, moved with uncanny agility, dodging infrared beams, ignoring heat, and braving radar to destroy the automated sensing robot. They then unleashed a barrage of kunai, killing the unsuspecting security guards and hounds.

They moved as if they had rehearsed thousands or tens of thousands of times in advance. Every movement was fluid and their positioning was extremely precise. From their appearance to their disappearance, their movements were so smooth that it was as if they had developed muscle memory.

Then, the screen flashed.

They appeared inside the core laboratory, some wielding samurai swords, others crossbows, still others bows and arrows, and still others clad in heavy armor, instantly defeating even more elite armed security forces.

They immediately secured the lab's control computer, took out a series of strange, bucket-shaped mainframes, and began replicating the lab's data...

Through the monitoring screen, one can vaguely see the data transmission progress and the number of data flushing cycles...

Half an hour later.

Morgan Group special agents stormed into the laboratory, and the men in black resisted while hiding in the deepest part of the laboratory.

next second.

A drilling vehicle crashed through the steel walls of the underground laboratory, carrying them away into a dark and fresh earthen cave.

Special forces attempted to give chase, but a violent shockwave erupted from the cave entrance.

boom…

A crimson haze filled the air.

The special forces soldiers' pupils constricted sharply, and they all collapsed unconscious.

Old Morgan ignored the crimson smoke. "Are these men in black ninjas from Japan?!"

"It cannot be confirmed, but considering the numerous secret experiments conducted on the Japanese islands, it is highly likely to be so."

"Could it be someone from Yu Sanyuan's group playing the role? You know, the data accumulated by the oil tycoon's projects is probably no less than 1000 terabytes. If we want to remove the permissions in half an hour, copy it all away, and then perform data washing, even we simply cannot complete it. Only someone who knows the data path and the core of the data could possibly perform the data migration."

"This suspicion cannot be ruled out."

Old Morgan sighed, "If Yu Sanyuan takes away the oil tycoon's research results, we'll be in trouble."

"Yes, so I prefer to believe it was stolen by Japanese ninjas."

"In the current situation, we must not deceive ourselves."

Welch bowed and said, "That was taken by Yu Sanyuan."

Old Morgan picked up his pipe and fell silent.

In the past, although the three-system AI led the world, it did not leave North America far behind.

At least both sides are still in the stage of artificial intelligence, rather than 'fully intelligent and autonomous'.

Just like the natural disasters in Southeast Asia.

The two sides are competing on anti-interference, speed and bandwidth, staffing, and AI server performance.

If North America completes its 'de-redundancy' process and increases its production capacity, both sides will be at the same level.

However, if Yu Sanyuan obtains brain-computer interface, brain neuron technology, spinal cord electrical stimulation technology, cortical electrode implantation technology, etc., the three-system AI technology will undergo a qualitative change.

In particular, Yu Sanyuan had already launched The Sims and started training personal assistant AI.

Or.

Hundreds of millions of players worldwide help Yu Sanyuan train his personal AI assistant.

Wait until the technology matures.

Yu Sanyuan combined brain-computer interface technology with gaming pods and gaming helmets, allowing players to play games using brainwaves.

Wait until the technology matures.

Yu Sanyuan combined brain-computer interface technology with unmanned devices, allowing players to control three types of unmanned devices using brainwaves through games.

Wait until the technology matures.

Yu Sanyuan combines games with reality, allowing players to control unmanned devices using brainwaves to wage war in the real world.

This is completely different from a soldier using an AI combat platform to control 200 drones.

Because a player controlling a drone constitutes a combat unit.

With the addition of personal AI assistance, tactics will become more sophisticated and strategies will be more in-depth.

Even more alarming is the in-game online store, where players can acquire food based on their online time, effectively eliminating any worries they might have.

In wartime, if the three systems introduce a military industry system, granting outstanding players money, status, and honor...

This will give rise to a profession, a system, a framework, and a development model.

Thus, the three systems effectively possess hundreds of millions of fearless, crazed warriors.

Once the three-dimensional unmanned equipment develops into an ecosystem, it can be manufactured and produced continuously...

In this world, apart from Yu Sanyuan, who controls the food supply, no one else's word matters.

Even he, J.P. Morgan, had to take an oath to join the collective.

Yes, it's not a toast.

It's all about donations; you have to join.

Of course, the development of the three systems will take time, perhaps 10 years, perhaps 20 years.

Therefore, the Morgan Group still has a chance.

Therefore, there are now two options.

First, by maintaining cooperation with the three departments and increasing investment in scientific research, the Morgan Group is striving to catch up. Even if it still lags behind the three departments, Yu Sanyuan will not dare to make any moves within 50 years.

Secondly, it completely broke with the three factions, with both sides going all out, a head-to-head confrontation, a fight to the death.

"Originally, I thought I was raising an enemy to enhance my own power and using Yu Sanyuan to strike at European Judaism, but I never expected that I would raise an enemy to cause trouble and put myself in a dilemma."

Old Morgan held his pipe and took a deep drag.

Welch hesitated slightly, "Old Brooks and Old Smith went to Shili Camp."

"With the death of the oil tycoon, we will be the only dominant force. In order to protect themselves, the other two will inevitably have to cooperate with Yu Sanyuan."

"Yes, it is said that by investing $2500 billion in the three eastern states, they obtained the operating rights for Agriculture 3.0 in California and Texas."

"In order to develop foreign trade and perhaps obtain more resources, Yu Sanyuan must prevent the devaluation of the US dollar. His best course of action now is to devalue the Chinese yuan and see which currency depreciates faster, thereby preventing the exchange rate from falling below 1:7.5. However, considering the international market, he certainly cannot over-issue Chinese yuan. Therefore, he needs to utilize the massive amount of Chinese yuan accumulated by foreign investors. But Yu Sanyuan clearly does not want to use foreign currency for exchange..."

Welch nodded and took over the conversation, "So Yu Sanyuan forced Lao Bu and Lao Shi to invest in Dongshan Prefecture, and then through the project, he would pay higher salaries to enterprises, employees, migrant workers, etc., so that more money would flow into the market. Moreover, Lao Bu and Lao Shi are just leading the way. Next, Yu Sanyuan will also seek investment from the EU, European Judea countries, and West Asian countries."

“In this way, the key issue is prices. As long as prices rise, it can offset the change in the value of money caused by the increase in wages.” Old Morgan said, taking out his notebook to write and draw. “Previously, a monthly salary of 300 red notes cost 1 red note for ice cream; now, a monthly salary of 3000 red notes costs 10 red notes for ice cream; at the same time, if the US dollar is over-issued 10 times, the exchange rate between the US dollar and the red notes is still 1:8; if the US dollar is over-issued 20 times, the exchange rate between the US dollar and the red notes becomes 1:7. In this way, although the red notes can be exchanged for more US dollars, our total amount of money has increased 20 times, which can buy more products from the East.”

“Mr. Morgan, we can’t over-issue that many US dollars right now, at most three times.”

“We can transfer the debt to Iraq, Libya, Japan, South Korea, the Philippines, etc., or let these countries hold more US debt, including Europe should also increase its holdings... More than 200 countries around the world can help us absorb at least 30 trillion US dollars of debt, and then we can issue at least 20 trillion US dollars in currency.”

"The joint fleet is about to visit the Gulf of Mexico. They will definitely visit small countries such as Cuba and Jamaica. If cooperation is reached, the camp against North America will become larger and larger. At that time, there will be fewer and fewer countries willing to help us absorb the debt."

“We still maintain a dominant position in the global market. Whoever Yu Sanyuan tries to win over, we will do the same. Apart from countries like Cuba and South Vietnam, the rest will definitely side with us.”

“But we need to transfer the debt to countries that are leaning towards us, which will make them more inclined to adopt the third system.”

“Perceptions and prejudices cannot be reversed in a short time or even in a war. I believe that countries around the world have more confidence in us.”

"Then I'll make the arrangements."

Welch understood that Morgan was doing this to pave the way for a falling out with Yu Sanyuan.

In other words, it forces countries around the world to take sides.

The problem is, what should we do with those two traitors who run off to Shiliying?!
Forget it.

Since J.P. Morgan didn't say anything, he didn't need to create trouble for himself.

Welch thought so, but driven by loyalty, he still contacted Romney in Massachusetts.

Romney was originally a heavyweight in the Republican faction, but later abandoned Bush and joined the oil tycoon, hoping to compete with the Democratic faction's Jordan for the next North American governor.

With the death of the oil tycoon, Romney was effectively isolated by the Republican faction. If the Morgan financial group could bring him over and repackage him, it would inevitably break the agreement between Bush and Smith's secretary that "the next North American governor must come from the democratic faction."

If Romney secures more capital support and successfully takes over the North American management position, it will be beneficial for the Morgan Group to conduct more operations at the national level after its falling out with the three factions.

Welch pondered this as he drove away from Morgan Estate.

...

the other side.

At the foot of Thousand Buddha Mountain lies Shungeng Mountain Villa.

The elegant guzheng music echoed in the classically styled restaurant.

On a large round table with a diameter of 6.6 meters, purple dendrobium orchids and white carnations are piled in the center, while an electric turntable around the perimeter displays the factory's specially supplied liquor and a few exquisite cold dishes made with three types of ingredients.

Yu Yang sat in the head seat, with Lao Shi and Lao Bu sitting on either side.

The Grand Steward of Dongshan, the Grand Steward of Dongshan, sat opposite.

The remaining executives sat around the perimeter according to their positions.

Even at this point, no one, including the Grand Steward of Dongshan, understood Yu Sanyuan's intentions.

Even contacting superiors did not yield a definite response.

So the head steward of Dongshan took the initiative to raise his cup, intending to ask the question tactfully.

However, the moment he stood up, a waiter who was setting out the dishes touched his wrist with a spoon, and the liquor in his glass spilled directly onto the table.

"Excuse me, sir, I'm so sorry."

Those present were not ordinary people; they couldn't very well make things difficult for a waiter.

Yu Yang coughed and took out the microphone he had prepared in advance. "Forget it, you didn't do it on purpose. How about this, sing a song to liven things up, and we'll call it even."

She didn't look like a pretty waitress at all, so she quickly bowed and thanked her.

He then picked up another microphone and casually used his 3 Series tablet to skillfully play a song that had been popular in the factory two years ago, 'The First Dream', on the laser TV in the restaurant.

As the music played, the moment she opened her mouth, her unique and clean smoky voice, unlike the original singer's, instantly captivated the entire audience.

for a long time.

After the song ended, the waiter bowed and left.

Yu Yang picked up the microphone and said, "My initial dream was to invest in Dongshanfu. To put it bluntly, there shouldn't be any backward areas around Shiliying, which would lower its value."

The crowd at the scene: "."

"So there's no need for you to worry too much. Just keep developing your career, get promoted as you should, and maintain a calm mindset."

After Yu Yang finished speaking, he still didn't touch the cup, but instead switched the program on the laser TV.

on the screen.

One after another, Y8 Pro Max heavy transport aircraft bearing the logo of 'Nan Yue San Yuan Heavy Industry' arrived at Dong San Fu-Yao Qiang Airport.

At this time, the airport was under martial law, and fully armed green uniforms could be seen everywhere.

Not long after.

The first Y8 Pro Max opened its rear end and used its onboard trailer to pull out a 12-meter-long container.

The container then unfolded, revealing layers of drone platforms resembling shelving.

at the same time.

Three South Vietnamese security guards, dressed in black special operations uniforms, wearing three red and one green four-leaf clover armbands and a full set of three-system individual combat systems, strode out of the cabin on mechanical exoskeletons that only extended to the waist and abdomen.

The man in green stepped forward, and the two saluted each other.

Followed by.

After the South Vietnamese security guards stood at attention, without any apparent movement, the mechanical exoskeleton at their hips suddenly extended, transferring the square-shaped device on their backs to their abdomen.

Like a blooming flower, it quickly formed a standalone workstation with three 15-inch screens.

With one hand typing on a keyboard and the other controlling a joystick, a dense swarm of drones instantly flew out from the previously unfolded container.

They are like flocks of birds, sometimes in groups, sometimes in formation, sometimes forming letters in the sky...

During the exhibition.

More and more Y8 Pro Max vehicles are arriving and unloading more containers.

The person in charge of Dongshan military uniforms, who was sitting to Lao Bu's right, stood up excitedly, slapping his left palm with the back of his right hand, "Great!"

Yu Yang raised his glass. "This is what you deserve."

"Thank you, Chairman Xie, for supporting the military's development!"

They both downed their drinks in one gulp.

Yu Yang exhaled a breath of alcohol, didn't eat any food, and instead switched the laser TV program again.

on the screen.

A scruffy-bearded teenager disassembles something that looks like a medical pod.

After being injected with nutrient solution, it took off its coat and lay down inside.

The 'medical pod' automatically locates a vein for injection and activates the life monitoring system.

Then the screen flashed.

The boy entered the game and transformed into a burly, strong man, with a war chariot appearing beside him.

[Silently repeat "Enter."]
Following the instructions, the boy controlled his character to enter the tank and then began to familiarize himself with driving, shooting, and so on.

There were no passengers, only myself.

Yu Yang pressed pause. "Everyone, do you know what this means?"

on site:"???"

Even Old Bu and Old Shi were equally baffled.
