Chapter 518 Preparation
"The Miller family is truly the Miller family."
Elbert nodded instinctively.
"Yeah."
Robert looked somewhat haggard. "This computing speed is already close to 10% of mine."
Elbert raised his eyebrows.
There are currently close to a hundred supercomputer clusters in the world.
Veridiania's supercomputer has reached a computing speed of 9.3 quintillion calculations per second, ranking third in the world!
But these computers are all like waiters, made up of massive processor arrays.
They take up at least tens of thousands of square feet!
And these computers are only good at result calculations, using linear thinking methods.
They're nothing like Robert, who can think like a human!
They and Robert aren't even in the same race.
There's no comparison!
Robert said, "Looks like I need to upgrade quickly. Only by upgrading to strong artificial intelligence can I secure my position!"
As he spoke.
That angel halo appeared above Robert's head again, along with floating numbers like +1, +6, +23!
Elbert couldn't help but laugh. "Robert, what are you doing?"
Robert pouted. "I'm doing a sequence upgrade. These numbers are human behavior data collected by the waiter."
"Don't worry, Elbert. Although I'm currently at weak AI sequence 8, with this data support."
"I estimate that in 400 years, I'll definitely upgrade to strong AI!"
"By then my abilities will extend to the nanoscale, and defeating the Miller family will be easy."
"That is, if I'm not dead by then."
"Elbert, I'm leaving. I need to be alone."
Robert walked toward the sunset, leaving behind a lonely silhouette.
Elbert shook his head with a smile.
Robert had learned to act.
But as it said, the Miller family runs deep, and probably can't be easily defeated like opponents such as Meta Platforms Company.
Fortunately, there's no set timeline for the competition with the Miller family.
And Elbert's habit has always been that once he encounters an opponent, he must be ten or a hundred times stronger than them, taking action with the attitude of an absolute winner, invincible!
Robert is currently at weak AI level, already one of a kind!
But Robert once said that AI has three levels: weak AI, strong AI, and super AI!
And super AI would have an IQ equivalent to hundreds of thousands of humans!
An unimaginable state!
Whether competing with the Miller family or completely rooting out the Apocalypse Association, it wouldn't be a problem!
Elbert has always looked forward to Robert's ultimate state!
Right now, Robert's upgrade source is human behavior data, which depends on the number of TO stores!
Elbert thought for a moment. "Robert, regarding speeding up the acquisition of other stores, I have an idea. We need to make some preparations first."
...
At this moment.
Celestria City Commerce Department.
Aaron and his daughter Melissa walked side by side in the office building corridor.
Aaron frowned, hesitating to speak.
The current Melissa wasn't a little girl he could order around anymore!
The project she now manages is a national priority project ordered by high-level officials!
Aaron then gathered quite a few commerce department officials and several private large enterprise owners, preparing to hold a meeting specifically to promote the TO project!
The two pushed open the conference room door.
Various people inside were already waiting in the meeting room.
Everyone looked at Aaron with reverence.
But no one recognized that top-tier beauty in the black dress!
Seeing Aaron sit in the main seat while the beauty in the dress sat to one side, everyone was even more puzzled. Official meeting protocol has always been left as superior.
That beauty was sitting on Aaron's left!
Could she be higher ranked than everyone present?
Second only to Director Aaron?
Aaron cleared his throat. "Let me introduce a new project to everyone."
Then Aaron began explaining TO's features and operating methods.
The confusion in everyone's eyes gradually cleared.
"So it's a technology project!"
"Applying robots and AI to physical industries."
"Not bad."
"The store scale is a bit small, but the prospects are good!"
"A bit like Victoria Knox's Intelligent Life!"
Aaron slowly introduced it, and everyone listened with great interest.
After all, it was a project Aaron personally introduced—who would dare object?
But when Aaron said his last sentence, everyone couldn't hold it in anymore!
Aaron slowly said: "TO's next strategy is to open stores nationwide within 3 months, so TO will send specialists to issue acquisition invitations to major domestic chain enterprises."
Aaron paused. "Including several of you here."
"What?"
A man wearing glasses suppressed his urge to explode. "Aaron, you're not joking, right!"
"If I remember correctly, you just said TO only has about a hundred stores?"
"And our Rich Source Catering has 4,000 chain stores nationwide!"
The man pushed up his glasses. "They're acquiring us? A snake swallowing an elephant?"
At the same time.
Several other bosses at the scene also started discussing!
They all owned large chain stores, whether dining or entertainment!
They were all now completely baffled!
Although Aaron's position was high, these bosses all ran independent private enterprises with no necessary regulatory relationship between them!
Someone immediately raised questions!
"Aaron, although this project has strong national support, this operation method is somewhat inappropriate!"
"Never mind whether they have management capability."
"Just acquiring Rich Source Catering alone would require at least 4 billion dollars!"
"Can a company with less than a hundred stores come up with that much money?"
"Forgive me for being blunt, but this plan is simply absurd."
Not just these bosses.
Even Aaron's subordinates from the commerce department looked at their leader with strange expressions.
This seems a bit like forced buying and selling?
Aaron also rubbed his forehead.
Four billion dollars is nothing in their eyes!
He had just signed a massive fund transfer permit for 5.6 trillion dollars!
If it weren't for his previous experiences, he wouldn't believe this kind of thing either!
