Chapter 314: Atlas Group
Lille likes young people who are motivated
No, now he's only eighteen and Frank is thirty-eight.
Seeing this, the slightest doubt in everyone's hearts was dispelled, and they immediately turned into complex emotions about the uncertainty of the future.
Lille painted them a super big pie.
But how do you grow on a land you've never met before, and still accomplish this feat?
It's a little unsettling.
Lille smiled and gave Frank a thumbs up: "Yes, the first thing to solve is security. β
Africa is a sweet spot in Lille's eyes, but that doesn't mean that the people there are all good.
"I'm going to register a private military contractor there."
Sensitive words, quite sensitive.
After all, Lille's anti-war stance has always been clear, but it is a bit surprising that he is doing so now.
In fact, Lille also has a bit of a headache about this.
Although Wakanda promised to open a back door to his policy, the security problem is not something that Wakanda can solve.
The African Union has exhausted its own resistance to the warlords around it, and the security in the country is in shambles, a notable example is Somalia -
The country is still in a state of armed secession, GDP is declining year after year, and it is quite normal for people to rob passing ships
It's even a means of livelihood for them, a job.
The internal security of Wakanda is not bad, but Wakanda is a super closed country, so it is impossible to plunge headlong into it and close off the country, right?
The bad social state was displayed on the screen, and everyone was silent.
New York was indeed free, and even machine guns appeared in Hell's Kitchen before the rollout of ctOS by Bloom.
But these are still street scuffles, and Africa is a real war.
The good news is that Africa is very chaotic, but the intensity is not high, and the most powerful weapons are the combat vehicles and missiles that have been eliminated from the Middle East, and the quality of personnel is also low.
Lille isn't out to fight, and Martin's conscientious Demons only need a little gear upgrade to be able to take on security.
And such an elite as Frank . As long as Lille wanted to, it would not be a problem at all to defeat some warlords.
"This private military contractor is primarily engaged in protecting our own production facilities, but to be honest, I already anticipate that when our industry rises, there will be international accusations that we will economically colonize Africa.
In this regard, I have already discussed with the king of Wakanda, although we are actually poverty alleviation, but this is the case.
The company is divided into two parts, one is the original business of peace of mind, protecting the core means of production and maintaining stability on a daily basis.
The second part needs to have a strong emergency response ability, Frank, and you are responsible for this part.
Candidates can choose your former comrades-in-arms, disabled veterans. It's up to you to do it yourself. β
"We will initially have our headquarters in Tanzania and we will be able to buy a plot of land around Salam at a very low price under the contract.
But there's nothing but land there, and there may be covert terrorist gangs, so - Frank, that's up to you. β
Lille projected intelligence information from the African Union on the screen.
The name of this "terrorist" group is quite creative: the Steppe Liberation Front.
The faces of the crowd were a little strange: what a decent name.
Lille shrugged: "That's how it is over there, liberate this, equal that, the program of this organization is to cut off all ties between Tanzania and the outside world and restore theocracy."
As for the name, it is estimated that they learned it from some arms trafficker, and according to reliable sources, they may also be involved in human trafficking.
Get them and then we transport the power generation equipment through Salam.
We need to work on this, and when we get there, we can only use wind and solar power in the short term, and the power supply standard needs to be re-established.
I've got a plan here."
Lille took out a hard drive case from his pocket, and everyone in the conference room suddenly had straight eyesβ
"Uh, it's just normal wind and solar."
This information is a summary of the various power schemes used by hundreds of thousands of people in Adaccardo in the Badlands.
Overall, wind and solar are not too high-tech, and Adicado's data is more real and diverse.
And if the power supply network is established in a systematic way, it can also be used in the bad land.
"Are you sure?" Dr. Otto and Dr. Toombs asked in unison.
"I'm sure β really, just some data that might help with the design."
Lille distributes the hard drives to his researchers, which will be refined by the two experts in the fields of mechanics and energy.
Some data? Otto and Tumus looked at each other suspiciously: "Do you need such a large enclosure for some" data?
Regardless of these two, Lille continued: "In the short term, our business will continue, Michael, how are things going with the prosthetic system? Also, your body"
Michael's body is now much "stronger", and after the original Death Warrior component is disassembled, his body is left with a skeleton-like prosthetic body, barely powering his brain.
Yes, only his brain and half of his face are completely his own, and the rest of his body is completely prosthetic.
The skeleton is now filled with more motors and batteries, the shell has been redesigned, and his body is barely visible as mechanical when he wears clothes.
He pulled a chip from his neck.
"That's it, we now have a prosthetic production line that covers the limbs, the replacement spine, and some small muscles that are compensatory.
Well, there's actually quite a lot of categories, but they're all integrated into the operating system. β
[Advanced Prosthetics Lab Achievement: Basic Operating System NexusOS Foundation 1.0]
[Description: Completely self-developed prosthetic integration system, compatible with all first-generation self-produced prosthetics, the control of micro-motors is amazing, and the performance is 30% higher than the average value of multiple beta versions.] γ
[Developers: Michael Collins, Professor Connors]
[Bonus Technology Points: 500 Points]
[Current Technology Points: 9500]
The first generation of prosthetics is based on brain-computer interfaces, with a large number of micro-motors and exquisite mechanical structures to achieve a bionic effect.
It may look very technological on the outside, but in reality it can only be regarded as a rough combination of mechanical prosthetics and exoskeletons.
Relatively speaking, the sensor is not sophisticated, and the user experience is quite different from that of top-of-the-line custom prosthetics.
As for the beta version, it is actually the operating system that Lille has patched up in the cyberpunk world, where the prosthetics of various companies are in a superficially compatible situation, and there are also a variety of illegal homemade prostheses to consider.
That is, Lille is proficient in a variety of technologies, and ordinary black clinics are plugged in with cables that can be used, and if you can't find the right doctor, insanity is the norm.
With a slight change, this system can be ported to the cyberpunk world, and the software of the first generation of prosthetics can be upgraded.
"Not bad." Lille nodded, "What about the development of the second generation of prosthetics?" β
The second generation of prostheses will add implantable structures, add more intelligent microprocessors to the prosthesis, and begin to enhance visceral capabilities.
Connors looked at Peter, who compiled the information: "The experiment of cultivating animal organs with lizard serum has been successful, and the experiment of cloning human organs will start immediately, I think there should be no problem." β
"Then the progress of follow-up research will improve rapidly." Michael was also a little excited, after all, trapped in a mechanical body, many sensations still disappeared with the disappearance of biological tissue.
This full-body prosthesis is more like a coffin that supports his brain activity, and the feedback is vague, and ordinary people would have gone crazy a long time ago.
According to the plan, the third generation of prosthetics will try to simulate more peripheral nerves and provide a lifelike perception system that will make him feel more like a person.
But before that, the development of the second generation of prosthetics must be completed.
In the end, it takes money to do everything.
Lille looked at Hammond: "Is there a problem with funds?" β
Hammond smiled and put down the tablet in his hand, he had already completed the budget estimate in a rough step: "That's it?" Boss, you have some misunderstanding of our profitability right now
Rather than worrying about the lack of money, it is better to worry about the speed of development, which takes a long time to build. β
Cement needs time to cool, steel needs time to smelt, and workers need time to work.
Build a city of the future out of the open space, with money, technology, and time.
"So we're going to do whatever it takes, and we have a lot of new technologies here that haven't been put on the civilian market yet."
Lille pulled out a small piece of prepared spider silk catalyst, and pulled out a piece of cement from the octopus arm around his waist.
The little octopus picked up the pouring gun next to the wall, absorbed the cement, and poured it into the mold next to the bucket -
Generally speaking, it takes time for cement to set and cure.
"Every bit of time we have to find a way to shorten it, and there are technologies that are not only effective in the field of special operations, such as this.
I'm guessing you all know this kind of spider silk with explosive tensile strength. β
Everyone nodded: Lille used it when he rescued Dr. Tumus, and Spider-Woman used it to do his best in the city.
Peter immediately thought of what Lille wanted to do, and it was as if a door was slowly opening in his head
The little octopus feeds the vibrating rod into the cement, and Lille adds solvent to the vibrating rod -
A miraculous thing happened, when the little octopus pulled the vibrating rod out of the cement, the cement that should have been cured for days dried up and solidified quickly, and the octopus arm was immediately replaced with a hammer
Bang.
The crisp voice seemed to knock on everyone's hearts.
"The strength will exceed the standard strength within 16 hours, and the spider silk solution can significantly speed up the speed process, all we need to do is equip the workers with civilian engineering exoskeletons, equip them with safety devices and production tools."
There are not many large instruments in Africa, but there are many people.
Lille's line of thought is very instructive, and few of you here have thought about these little things.
Before this, almost every once in a while, Peter would fantasize about being able to fly through the air and help the citizens of New York.
And the streets of New York are full of homeless people, and they can't help them at all.
Perhaps they have their own reasons for wandering, but not having a house to live in is the easiest way to connect with having a house to live in.
At this moment, he suddenly thought of the scene where he used the spider silk solution to build a house and shelter the world's colders
So Peter quickly raised his hand: "Actually, when I was experimenting with spider silk before, I also found that a blending method can increase the conductivity of spider silk to the level of silver wire, but the price is even much lower than copper wire." β
Lille smiled and returned to the table: "If you have similar ideas, you can apply for funds to experiment."
However, I guess that this kind of small idea is not something that can be thought of by genius, and the small ideas can be left to other employees.
Soβget to work, guys. β
The pie, short-term goals, and demonstrations are all there, and the anxiety about the future immediately turns into a clear vision.
It's really time to get to work.
Hammond raised his hand, "Then we'll go to Africa now?" β
Lille restrained his smile: "No Frank, your special squad is the first to operate to transport supplies and personnel from the sea to Tanzania.
The first supplies were provided by Wakanda, and the personnel were made up of volunteers and locals. β
Long-distance transportation is dangerous.
Once out of the public eye, things get complicated.
Many of the African Union's airlines are controlled by foreign capital, but by sea, they at least have their own ships.
"You will cross the oceans under the name of the 'Theseus Transport Company.'"
"Speaking of which." Hammond suddenly said, "We're going to be a global company, and we'd better register an entity internationally to integrate these resources." β
Lille had already thought of this, turned around and wrote the name of the company on the screen:
Atlasγ
"We use that name."
Atlas Group.
