"Booker?"
The reminder suddenly appeared in his field of vision, making Booker's previously excited emotions seem like a bucket of ice water had been poured on him. He didn't know how long he was stunned, but Liao Qi's voice from the passenger seat seemed to come from a far away place, and he was pulled out of his dazed state.
Booker hurriedly laughed twice and said with a slightly embarrassed expression:
"Ah, well, you are right, we are going to... where did we just talk about?"
"Speaking of the Theseus Freight Company warehouse."
Sitting in the passenger seat, Liao Qi, who continued the previous topic, looked at him suspiciously, and then said:
"What just happened to you?"
"It's okay... Maybe there was something wrong with the subcutaneous nerve sedative pump just now, and I suddenly felt dizzy."
Booker pressed his hand on the steering wheel to answer, and then continued following Liao Qi's topic:
"By the way, matters related to Theseus's warehouse will indeed be very troublesome."
Jiang Zhou originally planned to continue asking if there was something wrong with him who was suddenly stunned just now. But when I heard him talk about "Theseus' Warehouse", I couldn't help but ask:
"What exactly will be the trouble?"
"Although it is not a company under the Order of Olympus, Theseus Cargo is still an international company. Even if we do not consider their security force for the time being, we must also consider their strong influence. We cannot deal with it as before. Just like the Lobotomy Gang, they rob directly through violence."
Booker said.
Because of the need for mutual checks and balances, many Olympus companies that were conducting economic colonization in the Nord settlement area had a tacit agreement not to set up branches in the underground classes. Therefore, until the high-profile entry of Pluto Deep Diving Company broke the balance, most of the people who actually settled underground to build factories were small and medium-sized enterprises.
Companies that can gain a foothold in resettlement areas where order has collapsed and "simple folk customs" are naturally not fuel-efficient - in addition to having strong enough security forces, their businesses are also deeply embedded in local residents. In all aspects, it is difficult to bear the consequences of being sanctioned by them in business.
"About half of the black market in the entire underground class of the resettlement area relies on the logistics system of Theseus Freight. Maybe some of the materials you used for the depth 2 adjustment and transformation were obtained through their channels. It can be said that now, Today, almost one-third of an organization’s purchases come from their channels.”
And at least one-third of the purchases are able to get reasonable prices because of the existence of Theseus Freight... Otherwise, those black market profiteers would dare to raise the prices to the sky.
Booker continued:
"In other words, even if we succeed in the robbery, if we are blacklisted by them afterwards and no longer do business, will the organization's future development at the bottom of the resettlement area be difficult?"
Saying this, Jiang Zhou nodded to indicate that he understood.
In this era where human gatherings are separated by countless autonomous killing machines and polluted soil, many necessities that cannot be self-sufficient can only rely on these cross-border transportation and logistics companies.
Otherwise, even if the organization has a multi-purpose printer, it will not be useful - otherwise, even if you want to print a high-energy pulse gun, you will have to learn to extract radioactive elements from ceramic tiles as printing materials.
Therefore, once the organization breaks up with Theseus Freight Company, or even completely turns against each other, the consequences can be said to be disastrous.
"And the previous 'Siege of Theseus' incident, because we brought the battlefield into their warehouse, has put us on the warning list... Even if it was the Pluto Deep Dive that really caused losses to them... Punishment force.”
Booker pinched the bridge of his nose and said helplessly.
"Can we get things through peaceful means? Like negotiating a deal or something."
Jiang Zhou asked.
In Liao Qi's memory, the corporate liaison office of the Icarus Liberation Front was particularly good at this. Especially now that the organization has been performing government functions to a large extent on the second to negative seven floors of the resettlement area, they still have a lot of leverage in terms of negotiations.
Booker sighed and shook his head:
"It's useless. The liaison room was able to discuss so many things before. That's because those things essentially only require money to bribe a few key people. No matter how exquisite the system design is, as long as it is ultimately People are manipulating execution, and we can find weaknesses and deal with them, but..."
Booker sighed again, and then continued:
"However, Theseus Freight is a company run by AI. There is not even a single human employee in the entire company. When doing business, we always only act in accordance with the rules and regulations. The contract stipulates who will be kept for how many years, and there will be no one for a day. More, and never less in a day. Methods like bribery are of no use at all."
The attitude of Theseus Freight Company in doing business has always been "If you like to do it, don't do it," it only relies on word of mouth for publicity. I have never seen them place any advertisements.
Faced with this kind of enterprise, there is no way they would try to bribe a computer program.
"in other words……"
Jiang Zhou concluded with his fingers:
"We can neither use force to rob them, nor can we use soft means to bribe them."
At this point, he had roughly guessed Booker's train of thought.
"In other words, we can only try to steal it."
Jiangzhou Road.
Between robbing and buying, only the method of "stealing" is theoretically feasible.
Booker nodded:
"That's right, the only way to steal that multi-purpose printer is feasible."
Jiang Zhou pondered for a moment, then cautiously confirmed:
"If I understand correctly, you mean... we are going to a place with 24-hour uninterrupted drone patrols. Every corner is equipped with surveillance equipment. Even a mosquito flying in can detect the presence of mosquitoes. The mother's place. From a hive warehouse that is taller than most residential buildings in the resettlement area, and the internal structure is more complex than the introduction of the Yu-Gi-Oh card effect, steal a pure black coffin that is big enough for several people to lie in, and has an extremely ostentatious appearance? "
Booker nodded and said:
"Yes, that's pretty much what it means."
Then a confused expression appeared on his face:
"But what are the Yu-Gi-Oh cards?"
In response, Jiang Zhou waved his hand and said:
"It's nothing, it's just a card game that cost a lot of money in the AD era... But how do you plan to do it? No, I should ask, is this possible?"
No matter how you look at it, Booker's proposal seems too incredible.
As for Jiang Zhou's question, Bookerboard said with a serious face:
"Honestly, I don't know how to do it."
If this was a nonsensical comedy movie, Jiang Zhou felt that after hearing this answer, he should have dropped to the ground with an exaggerated "ha". In the camera, he could only see his shoes flying up.
Looking at Liao Qi's "Are you just having fun with your family" expression on his face, Booker finally broke out and laughed.
After laughing for a long time, he said:
"In the adjustment and transformation of Upgrade Path Perseus Depth 4, the most core adjustment authority is the quantum camouflage leather invisibility device called 'Hyena's Armor'."
