The Gods of Olympus (VI)
Ceres Conglomerate
Hydroponic farms, food workshops, pollution purification, energy supply, ecological cycle... Most resettlement areas have not turned into Malthusian hells because of the terrifying population density, completely relying on the technical support provided by the Ceres Conglomerate.
Although the Ceres Conglomerate is the super-enterprise with the weakest presence among the gods of Olympus, this does not mean that its influence is also the weakest - the field it monopolizes is too basic and too important, so that once it makes even the slightest move, it will cause an earthquake reaction.
Just because they maintain the most fundamental things for human survival - energy, food and living space.
The "Fusion Bureau" and "Annihilation Bureau" opened by the Ceres Conglomerate around the world are connected to form a network, which replaced the energy supply of 60% of the resettlement areas after the cyber war and maintained the existence of the native human community. The technology of directly fixing carbon elements in the air to make tasteless subsistence food "ash blocks" has continued the food rations that humans rely on for survival when the earth's ecosystem is almost completely collapsed now.
In addition, the "bad soil" that is not suitable for human habitation in most areas of the earth is still spreading, and its pollution is still eroding the boundaries of major resettlement areas. If it were not for the purification provided by the Chris Group, I am afraid that most of the population would become nomadic tribes wandering in the dangerous wilderness, slowly mutating into technological barbarians.
However, all this is not without cost, and the Chris Group does not provide free services. Their quotes are just right to allow most of the people in the resettlement areas to maintain the highest work efficiency that can be put into recycling - not so many that the people sterilize themselves in despair, and not so few that knowledgeable people have the spare energy to do some dangerous business.
In addition, for the market of the upper class, the Chris Group also has the most high-end products. Those high-end products are not so advanced in technology, but they are precious enough - in this era when the ecosystem has collapsed, the Chris Group has genetic samples of almost all creatures in the AD era, which enables them to provide truly original luxury customized products for customers in need, whether for viewing or use. Nowadays, having an extinct species from the AD era as a pet can be said to be one of the status symbols of the upper class.
Finally, the Chris Group is the only company among all the Olympus companies that has been confirmed to have the technology to reverse the pollution of "bad soil". But what is puzzling is that this Olympus god will only use this technology to clean up and rebuild the destroyed resettlement area and start re-colonization, but will never use it to reclaim new wasteland and expand its scale.
Main business: food, energy, environmental transformation, etc.

Bacchus Order
Formerly the "Elysium Order", a company that was included in the ranks of the Olympus gods during the fourth revision of the "Olympus Agreement" - although they insist that they are a cult. The Bacchus Order does not have an α-level Abyss Dark Web network interface as the authority of the Olympus gods, but they access the Abyss Dark Web salvage technology through [Data Delete] and can efficiently translate and interpret the technology in it.
In just twelve years, they have occupied nearly half of the patent offices, and the income from those technical patents is enough to make them equal to the Olympus gods. In order to prevent the peace order in the human intelligence field from being broken, the Jupiter Group held a meeting, revised the agreement, accepted the "Elysian Cult", and became a member of the Olympus gods under the name of Bacchus - the first god to be promoted after the signing of the Olympus Agreement.
The technical foundation of the Bacchus Cult [Data Deleted], they dived into the abyss dark web to salvage technology, and translated the technical oracles that can be effective under current technical conditions through "metaphorical thinking" that humans cannot understand.
Main business: [Data Deleted], technology reverse restoration. (End of this chapter)
