Chen Wenhao, on his side, was busy holding a video conference with Jin Wei and other management of Kamodo companies. As the only company in the group that does not have an office in Yidong Park, Chen Wenhao has relatively little contact time with this group of managers, but this does not affect his prestige among these people, most of the people engaged in the IT industry have more or less romantic heroic ideas in their hearts, and the subjective acceptance of a person who can break out of such a scale and launch a series of eye-catching products in just two years is a few points higher.

Putting aside the different reactions of everyone in Kamodo after Chen Wenhao and them informed them of the imminent appearance of competitors.

Almost at about the same time, in the control room of a secret underground base in the United States, several men in straight suits surrounded four old white men, and everyone did not speak, but just looked at the control room, outside the large floor-to-ceiling glass is a steel structure hall covering a huge area, and the most conspicuous place in the hall is a circular flying saucer that directly exceeds 10 meters.

There is a conspicuous broken gap on one side of the flying saucer, and a group of people in overalls are busy around the flying saucer, surrounded by various test instruments. If Chen Wenhao could be at the scene, he would definitely feel familiar: it was the alien spaceship from which he obtained the energy block when he went to the United States in distress.

After staring at the alien spacecraft for a few minutes, one of the four old men, with all white hair, was the first to speak out to break the silence, "The test is over?" ”

A middle-aged man in a high-end handmade custom suit walked forward quickly, this person was tall and had distinct facial features, and he was properly domineering President Fan in the outside world, but at the moment he looked like a primary school student, "Yes, sir." The joint laboratory has completed the latest version of the software upgrade, and the translation test results have matched the performance of the small card software. The development of the intelligent customized module was also successfully completed, and the laboratory said that compared with the products of Kamodo, each has its own advantages. ”

"In addition, owners in 63 businesses have used our software, and more than 90 percent have said they would use our products to replace their existing ones, if the price is about the same."

When the white-haired old man heard this, he nodded slightly, turned his head sideways and said to the other people, "The time is almost up, what is your opinion?" ”

"On behalf of Morgan, I agree to launch it as soon as possible."

"The Mellon family agrees."

"The Cleveland family seconded."

……

The four leading old men actually represent the four major consortia of Rockefeller, Morgan, Mellon, and Cleveland in the United States.

Anyone with an in-depth understanding of the U.S. economy would not underestimate this kind of family consortium that has been passed down for decades or even centuries. The consortium, which can persist in the invasion of a hundred years of history, has extended its tentacles to all corners of the national economy. As a matter of fact, every major political and economic adjustment in the United States in modern times is influenced by the results of the game between the major conglomerates. It's just that after entering the Internet age, the dissemination and access to information have become fast and cheap, and the United States has always had a tradition of anti-intellectualism, so the family consortium has become much more low-key and withdrew from the forefront. At the same time, a large number of civilian heroes were born in the new fields of computers and the Internet, which also distracted the public.

Although the limelight is no longer what it used to be, the energy, steel, railway, aviation, arms and other industries that really determine the lifeblood of the country's economy are still basically controlled by the major US conglomerates. The four consortia represented by the four people present are the first array in the consortia.

The wreckage of this alien spaceship was discovered more than 60 years ago, when the consortium forces were just beginning to turn behind the scenes, and the resources that could be mobilized were far better than now, and the consortium discovered the spaceship that crashed in the mountains before the state apparatus. As time passed, this meeting, which was originally only related to the wreckage of the spaceship, occasionally coordinated and dealt with conflicts and contradictions between some consortia, after all, everyone held this shocking secret together, and used it as a link to discuss things, so that each other could have more leeway. For a long time, among the peripheral personnel of these four consortia, there was inevitably a legend of a "Shadow Council".

In the 80s, as the power of the US central government continued to grow, this secret was still known to the state, and after various behind-the-scenes deals, the military also became a member of the joint conference on behalf of the country. During this period, the swords and swords are deceitful, and if they can be made public to the world, it will be a top-level American drama.

The process of acquiring technology from the wreckage has been very slow, but only a small part of the results that can be obtained have become the fuse of every industrial technological revolution, and have also turned into a help for further exploration of spacecraft technology. As a result, the United States leads the world in science and technology, and the conglomerates make astronomical profits from it.

In recent years, the ship's research team has made a new discovery: the spacecraft is not only loaded with a set of artificial intelligence that assists flight (damaged), but also comes with a component that functions like a compiler and can be customized with artificial intelligence. However, this system has always been protected by super forces, and the current level of technology can barely reach the periphery, but it still lacks the technology to capture the core area.

However, the R&D team cautiously expects that the technology for the spacecraft will be available within a decade. What has been learned so far is that the level of impaired artificial intelligence is enough to replace most of the basic jobs in society. The existing AI technology on the planet is like a toy for young children.

The consortium is looking for huge profits from the AI revolution, and the military wants to create an invincible army that can automatically destroy the enemy. Just when many interest groups had high hopes for this, the emergence of Kamodo was like a basin of ice water poured directly on their heads, and the emergence of small card translation software and intelligent modules quickly won the reputation of users. What scared and confused them even more was that the technicians evaluated and believed that the artificial intelligence technology displayed by the Chinese company was no less than the alien technology in the wreckage of the spacecraft.

Is it our American's alien spacecraft that has been otter, or is the technology of the Chinese already shoulder to shoulder with the sun? The group of people involved in this is deeply confused.

It's just that today's international situation is no longer what Uncle Sam was like in the world, and how to deal with this crisis, at the beginning, the opinions of the government and the consortium, and the opinions between the consortiums, failed to reach a consensus. What started as a coalition of opponents led by Apple, and then escalated into an attack on Chen Wenhao when he came to the United States, was in fact the private actions of the radicals in this large interest group. Each consortium has its own arms company in its hands, and it is really simple to get something done. Therefore, the attack at that time did not involve the forces of the American military, otherwise it would not be a problem for him to get out, but it is likely that his secrets will be exposed.

And when Kamodo's intelligent products gradually swept the global market, when Infinite Future Company launched a series of black technology products, and at the same time imposed a ban on the 13 companies of the opponent alliance, watching the technology companies in their own power network collapse, under pressure, this big interest group finally reached an agreement, and the countermeasures were nothing more than two points:

The first is to boycott and create various barriers to the sales of this company's products in the United States and even the Americas; The second is to increase investment in the research and development of spacecraft and master artificial intelligence technology comparable to it as soon as possible.

Although they still haven't figured out the cause of the sudden commotion of the spaceship, they can only transfer the ship's wreckage to a new secret base, but the technical team is then pleased to find that the resistance that originally prevented them from touching the core has suddenly disappeared, which makes the estimated progress greatly advanced. Not so long ago, they finally cracked the AI compiler and got the technology they had always dreamed of.

The compiler is more powerful than expected, and after several rounds of development and testing, the technical team unanimously said that it is fully ready for practical use, and it will not be worse than the small card series. Although they couldn't surpass the small card series, they were a little unhappy, but they couldn't wait. The eagerness to see the urgency of this software promotion program being named "Torch", which coincided with a major military operation during World War II. Of course, it also has the same name as a domestic innovation plan, which is pure coincidence.

The first step of promotion is to use the "torch" to expel the "small cards" in the territory of the United States and in the regions that the United States has the ability to influence, and for this reason they do not hesitate to use national power to blow the wind on large companies in related industries in the name of national security. I believe that as long as there is not a big gap between product functions and performance, this goal is not difficult to achieve.

The killer feature is still to come, and in order to seize the global market, this interest group has made a decision: the first year is free. The trick is not surprising, it can be said to be an old routine: free or low price to suppress competitors, monopolize and then raise prices, and reap excess profits. In terms of the thickness of funds, they have sufficient self-confidence, but they are just a Chinese company that has not even been listed. A single large company controlled by a consortium will have much more funds than it. Not to mention the companies that meet this condition, several consortia can easily list dozens of them. No matter how you look at it, it's like a war between ants and elephants.

In the second week after Chen Wenhao and the management of Kamodo held a communication meeting, the American IB company, which is well-known in the field of electronic technology and enterprise technical services, suddenly announced that the company has developed the latest artificial intelligence technology, which has reached the international leading level, and the translation software "Torch" using this new technology will be officially produced, which will be completely free of charge at the initial stage. At the same time, major enterprises are also welcome to consult the intelligent module customization business.

IB is one of the 13 members of the coalition of opponents.

On the same day, 12 other companies in the alliance jointly issued a statement that they would use the "Torch" software in their own products.
