Chapter 724: Jack's Little Plan for the Future
The story of the great writer and his muse will continue, and the ambiguity and tug between them will predictably provide joy and conversation for their relatives and friends for a long time to come.
But at the same time, outside of their little world of the two, other people's lives will go on, unfolding their own interesting stories.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! A series of shots echoed through the basement, and Jack pressed a button, and the motor drove the thin steel cable to pull the target paper back in front of him.
"90 rings, good grades, you are the best student I have ever taught."
Hearing Jack's praise, Alexis, who took off the soundproof earmuffs, smiled into two crescents in her eyes, "Have you taught a lot of people to shoot?" Jack. ”
"For now, it's just you." Jack grimaced, amusing the little girl.
"My marksmanship is also very good, obviously I can teach you too" Cassel, who was sitting on the side resting, was a little depressed, always feeling that his little padded jacket was about to defect.
"But Jack is the best marksman I've ever seen, and I've only seen a scene in yours where ten bullets are left with only one hole in the bull's-eye." Alexis had just seen how badly her dad had lost a bet with Jack.
Cassel gritted his teeth for a while, "Bet on a super LCD TV, I don't believe your performance will always be so stable." ”
"Don't gamble, I'm afraid that the proceeds from your next 'Nicky Hit' series won't be enough to pay off your gambling debts."
The wool can't catch a head, and just now Kassel has lost all the electrical equipment in the kitchen, and the tables, chairs and benches in the attached dining room are all high-end goods with a lot of price, which is enough to make his flesh ache for a long time.
The trio left the small underground shooting range, which consisted of only four 20-meter-long shooting tracks, and the rumbling of decoration outside was deafening.
This is the future new office of Jack's wanted criminal team, which is currently less than halfway complete, and the first and second floors have just completed the buried work on the water and electricity pipes, and the fastest progress is the huge underground garage.
The entire team is currently tentatively staffed with a maximum of six people, or a few cars, and after removing some of the server rooms reserved for the future, Jack has set aside nearly half of the remaining area to build the small indoor shooting range they just used.
In the future, they will face the most vicious people who can be on the FBI wanted list, and any accident can happen, and Jack can't cover the whole game, so he is very concerned about maintaining the state of the team.
In addition to this underground shooting range, he also planned a large gym area on the first floor, in addition to the daily fitness equipment, there is also a combat training room similar to the one Hannah originally arranged at home.
It can be said that Jack has not wasted a cent of the funds allocated by the New York office, and there is even a large part of the shortage, such as the server room he reserved, it is estimated that only an ordinary server can be placed for the time being.
In Justin's vision, a small supercomputer is indispensable if she wants to fully exert her abilities, although it does not need to reach the crazy computing power of a laboratory supercomputer, but it is conservatively estimated that the cost starts at a million dollars, and there is no upper limit.
Jack didn't dare to think much about this for the time being, first, the FBI was not wronged, and he could not let them squander their funds so pretendiously, and secondly, it was difficult for him to explain why a small operation team to hunt down wanted criminals should set up a separate computer center outside of the FBI system.
All of this stems from his concern about a certain drama back then, the main plot of "Suspect Tracking" takes place in New York, plus the news about John Reese's fake death that he obtained during his brief collaboration with the CIA.
Although Harold Finch is still in the public eye, there are no rumors of injuries due to bombings, and his partner Nathan is also alive and well, which is not quite the same as the plot line of the original show.
But Jack has long been accustomed to the magic of the world's self-interpretation, after all, the CIA-Matt Graver, who looked similar to "Thanos", died in front of him like an ordinary dragon character.
Even if he hadn't been there at the time, even Michael Weston, the absolute protagonist of "Warning in the Line of Fire", might have died on the spot.
Jack is a precautionary character, and he is well aware of the ability of the two artificial intelligence in "Suspect Tracking" to do things, so he naturally has to arrange some countermeasures in advance.
Now that there is a small supercomputing center under the Wolf brothers' farm in Los Angeles, Justin is building her own online empire little by little, nominally for the preparation of future short video platforms and manipulation of trolls.
When those Mary Sue, Long Aotian and the like and video short drama projects are almost laid out, a short video social platform similar to the previous life "Tik Tok" will be born.
Chris has almost completed the pre-planning work and is already hiring people, and a development project of this magnitude is impossible for Justin to be busy alone, and it is useless to smoke from the keyboard.
This requires the collaboration of hundreds or thousands of programmers, experienced project managers, and a large amount of capital.
In the early stage, funds are not a problem for the time being, but it is a big deal for Chris to sell all the paintings in his RV, and in the future, there will be a mature capital market in the United States that can be listed to make money, but talents are rare, and Jack even had the idea of contacting Harold Finch in advance.
However, after repeated entanglements, he still gave up this idea, and the impact on the plot is secondary, and on the premise of not having too deep friendship, it is very likely that this kind of awesome character will occupy the magpie's nest in turn.
So Jack chose to go with the flow, except for telling Chris, don't hire too many third brother programmers, especially don't let the third brother occupy management positions, he doesn't interfere with other operational work at all.
It's not that he is racist, it's really the experience of Boeing in his previous life that makes it difficult to let go of the three brothers' "I think power", which is no longer a stereotypical problem.
Therefore, it is foreseeable that in the future, there will be two huge data centers in New York and Los Angeles that can back up each other, and behind these two data centers, there are several control terminals similar to those hidden under the Wolf Brothers Farm and the FBI Action Team Office, which are composed of small supercomputers, to ensure Justin's absolute control over this huge network.
In "Suspect Tracking", artificial intelligence can monitor the whole of New York City with almost no blind spots through any device with a camera, and Jack is not very demanding, and Justin can control some of the permissions of devices such as smartphones and tablets.
If he really wants to achieve this goal, Jack himself still has a long way to go, including his promotion in his position, connections and status within the FBI, but fortunately, the situation is not urgent, and for him there is time to play a few more idle moves.
After all, the initiative is in his hands, as long as he does not encounter a robot that looks like a "governor" and cannot be killed in the future, then there is no need to worry that the artificial intelligence program called "machine" tossed by Harold Finch will evolve into a "Skynet" to lead to the end of mankind.
No matter how outrageous the plot trend related to "Suspect Tracking" is at that time, anyway, the sky is falling and there is a group of protagonists on top, Jack's methods are just prepared, and he can catch up with the best, and if he can't catch up with it, it's a big deal to hide back in Los Angeles.
