Bab 15: Direction ...
Jiang Hao did not know anything about Yang Zhao and his team of flies.
He was busy enhancing everything and anything he could touch.
He was careful and only gave +1 enhancement to general things since there were going to be a bunch of strangers living here with him soon.
As for more private things, +2 or +3 enhancement depending on the situation.
Things like the computers used in the security system or the nanny system were all upgraded to +3. There was honestly no need for it, but it was cheap anyway, why not do it?
There was also the fact that depending on Mia for everything started getting monotonous and boring.
It was fine that she was powerful, but it would feel too invasive if she was in charge of everything.
His search for diversity ended up with an AI in charge of security called Adrien and another in charge of the house which was named Alice.
What baffled him however was why these AIs loved Western names so much. Wouldn't it be enough to just go with Xiao Bei or Xiao Yan? At least at that time, he wouldn't have to slow down when calling their names.
Well, at least he could use 'Technopathy' and did not have to struggle with pronunciation so much.
Let's just think of it as a security measure. Who would think that someone not so proficient in English would name his AIs with English names?
Now my mind is stable and my mood has improved. Nice.
But this also brought up a matter that could no longer be ignored.
His body was healthy and vigorous, his mind calm, his worries settled, and at the end of it, he found that he had nothing to do.
It was the epitome of being a salted fish.
It is still a salted fish even on a gold-plated silver platter.
Comfortable.
Who'd want to work hard if he could lie down and make money?
Struggle for 20 years just to get an education, and then struggle for more years to get a job, then struggle to keep the job and make a living?
Who said that this is the right way?
He had learned that it was better to use other people's time and money to enrich himself.
Don't look at how idle he was and think that he was lazing around.
Well, he was indeed lazing around, but his mind was always actively thinking about nonsensical things.
Like the Tao Te Ching.
Or, something like religion.
It could not be helped.
Ever since the establishment of the Infinite Dragon Unlimited Company, he had been thinking of making it a religion, hence the name Ouroboros.
But the more he thought about it, the more difficult the task seemed.
Ouroboros seemed to be nothing more than a monopolistic internet company that was terrorizing people worldwide.
There were benefits, but human nature tends to remember the negatives more than the positives. That's why people were still taking to the streets every day demanding its closure.
But who has such abilities?
Even if there were such people, who would dare?
Leave alone the fact that Mia would take down whoever tried, the mere fact that Ouroboros was mass-producing AIs is enough for governments to turn a blind eye.
Better yet, governments were looking for Ouroboros in order to control it, not close it. Such a company is strategic enough even without its money-making ability.
The value of the Dragon Coin has already reached 10000 USD on the black market and it was still going.
Jiang Hao did not understand why people could not wait obediently and make money slowly. But he did not stop it.
The more this happened, the more famous the Dragon Coin would be.
At least, more and more underground bosses were now using Dragon Coins for transactions. These were truly untraceable.
Maybe he should start charging tax? Nah, that'd be weird.
Instead, these forces were more likely to be his strongest allies at the beginning.
Most religions that have lasted eons usually have a pattern that is worth learning from.
First advocate for taking care of oneself; starting with the body, mind, spirit, and soul.
Then advocate for taking care of others.
The first condition was simple enough with enhancements, but how many people could he enhance at the same time?
It was simply unrealistic.
The second was also possible, but the amount of effort, time, and resources required is too exaggerated. He did not have thousands of years nor did he have that much chance.
The more human civilization advances, the more its tolerance for religion reduces.
So, just insist on being called a company, but behave like a cult or religion? That's kind of weird. Let's not think about it.
The only thing that could meet the first and second conditions is the development of Biotechnology.
The rapid development of pharmacology thanks to AIs provided by Ouroboros is not enough.
It also did not help that research results were being posted online as soon as they came out. Who'd invest in R&D if they could not patent the results and make money from it?
This is a problem that Jiang Hao never thought of before. Is this what it means to hit one's own foot?
But thinking about it, he would not change a thing.
Firstly, this move made many black-hearted entities drop out of the market. They were not making money anyway, so it was better to go to something else.
It also helped that many secrets were now available online and most of them were drowned in spit.
Secondly, real scientists were not in it for the money. It was enough to get the deserved rewards and they would not think so much about other things.
As for lack of research funds and blah blah blah… just look for Skynet Technologies and submit a proposal. If the idea is sound enough, funds will be provided.
Better yet, you'd be asked to come to a specially prepared place where there was everything you needed.
Mia was renting such places all over the world, but this model was not very reliable.
That was why he was in a hurry to establish labs in every major city. The station in the northwest was also for highly sensitive matters.
As for why he was doing this, of course, it was for the development of the human race… *Cough* Ahem, I mean, for more materials for enhancement.
Reverse engineering is the right way.
