Chapter 164 Unprecedented! Level 9 Prize Pool Launched!
Europa can completely understand Leon's decision-making thinking. Safety is a necessity for fragile humans, and it is something that everyone will strive for.
It is precisely because of this that the "safety" business is enduring and extremely profitable!
Medical care, food, medicine, and security have always been good businesses that harvest all classes of human beings.
The more a company can control the underlying needs, the more its tentacles can penetrate into the ecology of each class and control every aspect of these creatures.
From the top rich and powerful to the poor common people, all without exception cannot escape the control of top giants.
In the past, this supreme power was held by the state apparatus, but now this power to control the fate of civilians has been transferred to the hands of companies.
Today, LA Company has basically been able to completely solve the world's famine problem through polymer plant cultivation and gradually control human food supply.
It won't be long before LA Company joins forces with biotechnology to capture the global food market and become the world's largest food manufacturer.
Controlling food is equivalent to controlling human life and death.
What Li Ang has to do now is to use the black wall to control another potential threat to human beings, the flow of AI. This is his first level purpose!
"Europe, it seems that you have understood what I mean, so do you know what you should do next to achieve my goal."
Li Ang was very satisfied with the rhythm of the conversation with Europa. This almost omniscient and omnipotent transcendental AI was even more understanding of people's hearts than the White Queen.
The White Queen only has the ability to rigidly execute his orders, but Europa seems to be able to understand the problem, quickly provide the best optimization plan, and automatically start execution.
With Transcendent AI Europa here, the processing efficiency of most of LA Company's affairs will definitely increase significantly!
"I think I will go back and convene an internal meeting of the European Community to hand over all the operation and maintenance rights of the black wall to LA Company, and ask them to pay LA Company a large amount of compensation every year."
"In addition, I will also develop a program to protect cyber hackers from harm when crossing the black wall, which can be sold to generate profits for the company."
"Whether it is a company or an ordinary network hacker, they must pay money to the LA company to ensure the normal operation of the blackwall."
In Europa's understanding, the current black wall is the fish pond dam built by LA Company, and the flowing AI inside is the fish.
If you want to ensure that the dams do not collapse and humans are not flooded, you can only pay maintenance fees every year.
If hackers want to fish, they have to buy equipment and amulets from LA Company.
Europa's answer is almost perfect, and these plans are indeed within the scope of Leon's consideration, but not entirely for these reasons.
"Today's LA company has absolutely overwhelming power in terms of network and AI, and can formulate a set of rules that are in line with the company's interests."
"If there are other European companies that are unwilling to accept the terms and restrictions of LA Company, then I can use technical means to force their managers to accept it."
Seeing that Europa seemed to have really weighed the situation in all aspects and made the right decision, Li Ang felt even more happy.
This is indeed the AI assistant he needs!
"What would you do if the EC's Orbital Aviation and LA Corporation were at odds with each other and prepared to use mass projectors to carry out space-based weapons strikes?"
Li Ang asked his last question. He was not worried about the threat of Orbital Aviation's strategic weapons, but wanted to know Europa's approach to this matter.
The LA company, which has full control over the earth's network and AI, has long been able to use 10,000 methods to restrict the use of orbital aviation's mass projectors.
In Li Ang's view, the current mass projector is just a trebuchet of little use. It may be useful in scaring other companies, but it cannot scare LA Company.
As long as Li Ang is willing, he can let Orbital Aviation's core executives die suddenly at any time.
"This is not difficult to solve. I can control every message sent to the Crystal Palace by Orbital Aviation through data modification. As long as I am willing, the people in the Crystal Palace will never receive messages on the ground."
Europa's handling style is very straightforward, which is indeed very consistent with Leon's way of doing things.
"Yes, it seems that you are fully aware of your mission and your next steps, so go ahead and do it."
After the words fell, Leon took the initiative to unlock the restrictions of the matrix for Europa, but its access point was still stuck in the Poseidon subnet of the Voodoo Gang.
Just before Europa was about to leave Night City and return to Europe to carry out these tasks, it suddenly asked Leon a question:
"Mr. Li Ang, is LA Company limited to controlling the destiny of mankind on earth, or will you go to the depths of the universe to start a new era of interstellar colonization?"
"With the existing resources of LA Company, it is enough to explore new homes in outer space."
"You don't have to focus on emptying the wallets of these companies."
The question Europa asked was exactly what Li Ang was thinking. He did have this consideration, but if he wanted to start this interstellar colonization process, it could not be carried out by the LA company alone.
All cyber company forces on the ground must join this massive space exploration under the guidance of LA Company!
Leon manipulates the network monitoring company and human security issues through the black wall, which is only the superficial reason.
There is a deeper reason, which is to tie all companies to the LA company.
Blindly violent destruction will only lead to endless disasters, but the carrot and stick interest-driven means can make others follow their will.
The reason why Leon set up such a trap to ambush Europa, control the black wall, and coerce the European Community is to pull these companies onto the LA company's ship to the universe.
He believes that the old guys in the European Community who know the times will not destroy themselves like a stubborn fool.
"Europa, this is why you can only exist as an assistant AI of LA company. I already know your suggestion."
"Now go and complete the task you should do."
Leon did not explain his ideas to Europa too much. For the tool AI, all it has to do is to do its job well.
As for other decisions, Leon will take care of them. He can be the only one at the helm of LA Company, and Europa can't do it for him.
"Okay, I will complete my task truthfully."
Europa responded with a little disappointment, then left the matrix and returned to the Poseidon subnet of the Voodoo Gang, and then instantly arrived at the European network area through the positioning of the access point.
Although most of Europa's consciousness data has returned to Europe, it has not been able to return completely due to the effect of the matrix program.
It's like a little tail is tied to the Poseidon subnet. As long as Leon has an idea, he can pull Europa back from the European network to the company's headquarters at any time.
At this moment, Leon was the only one left in the headquarters hall of LA Company. After thinking it over again and again, Leon called Morgan Blackhand and told him to go out and do a few things.
The first thing was to take people to kill the Haitian hackers of the Voodoo Gang and move the Poseidon subnet server to the headquarters of LA Company.
Even if it is simply to reduce the crime rate in Night City, it has made some contribution.
The second thing is to let Morgan Blackhand knock on Agent Reed, who is lurking in Dog Town, and let him report all his recent work.
If Reed is as loyal as V and tells the truth about his contact with Miles, then he can still be saved.
At least with a little more training, Reed may not be unable to become a core member of LA Company.
If Reed insists on not changing his ways and continues to fight against the CIA and chooses to be loyal to Miles, then when LA Company starts to liquidate New America, he will also die!
As for the third thing, it is to let Morgan Blackhand remind V to make timely preparations to continue to devote himself to completing the task.
Because the next LA Company will start to close the net on a large scale!
V must complete the task for the company at any time.
"Just these few things, you go and do it."
Leon nodded to Morgan, and Morgan didn't say much. After receiving the order, he went directly to complete the task, highlighting a straightforward and neat one.
After watching Morgan leave the company, Li Ang suddenly received a long-lost system prompt.
[Level 9 Mission: Conquer Europa, the most powerful transcendental AI in Cyberpunk 2077]
[Status: Completed]
[Mission Reward: 1 trillion enterprise coins, 10 roulette draw opportunities, 1 ‘Level 10 roulette draw’ opportunity (the probability of winning from the prize pool has been increased!)]
[Extra Reward: Achieved the achievement of ruling all AIs in the cyber world, and guaranteed to win 1 out of 10 Level 9 draw opportunities! (The prize pool items come from the world of the heavens - "Halo Infinity")]
…
As the system prompt sound fell, Li Ang's long-silent mood finally fluctuated. He hadn't completed the system's mission for a while.
This time, the sudden prompt sound of the mission completion really surprised Li Ang.
But what made Li Ang most excited was that the system mission he completed this time was an unprecedented Level 9 mission, and the chance to win the lottery was also drawn from the Level 9 prize pool!
This means that the probability of him being able to extract good things has greatly increased!
Since LA Company and New America reached an arms deal for the Metal War, his weapons sales task has basically reached its limit.
To go further and complete the system's arms trading task, he can only rely on the natural digestion of the market and slowly grind it over time, but Leon certainly doesn't want to wait like this.
So he used other technology points to start a more extensive layout.
From using flapping-wing aircraft to unite the high knights, to using the matrix to win over AI Batmos, becoming a guest of honor and shareholder member of Ye's company.
Then he used polymer technology to control the biotechnology company, and as a bureaucrat, laid a large network covering the giant companies of the whole world.
Nowadays, Leon's all-round micro-manipulation has accumulated countless forces that have reached interest allies for his LA company.
But these bureaus are like a seed that has just been planted. It will not germinate and bear fruit immediately, and it must be pushed by time.
And now, the bureau that Leon laid in the Russian network area has reaped the first fruitful harvest for him!
