In the next few days, Jiang Zhou has been dealing with the Icarus headquarters, the resettlement area government, and the expatriate studio of Pluto Deep Diving Company, working on the geothermal power station project on the seventh floor. Prepare.
In fact, in theory, Booker, the leader of Icarus, should be responsible for all these things. But he completely delegated all the power in this matter to Liao Qi. Only when Liao Qi encountered a situation where he could not command some senior members of the organization, he would come forward to help.
Although Booker claimed that he decided to let him take full responsibility because his partner Shen Lan said that she could only trust Liao Qi, who had saved her life twice. But anyone with a discerning eye can see that Booker intends to train this young boy in his early twenties to become the next leader of Icarus, while he continues to retreat behind the scenes.
Because of this, this arrangement has aroused considerable doubts within the organization. In particular, those members who were originally opposed to the organization's compromise with the company reacted particularly violently. On several occasions, when Jiang Zhou hosted discussion meetings to assign tasks for the next phase, those people directly and openly opposed the plan itself at the meeting, calling it a "fatal mistake."
"You can't really blame them."
After the meeting, Booker packed up the materials and said comfortingly.
In the previous meeting, the leader of the intelligence team, the deputy leader of the action team, and the person in charge of Nord’s Voice of Justice channel all agreed by coincidence—perhaps not coincidentally, but had been connected in private for a long time—once again Strong doubts have been expressed about the plans to rebuild the geothermal power station itself.
"There are some inside stories that cannot be explained clearly to them at this stage, and they will feel that it is reasonable to question them. In addition, their previous fierce objections were actually not entirely against the matter itself... they were also based on their own Interests are considered.”
Booker said.
"is that so?"
Jiang Zhou became interested.
The movements in Booker's hands suddenly slowed down. He sighed and said:
"The new leader of the intelligence team has just been here not long ago. He is worried that if you take over the leadership of Icarus, I will return to that position and remove him. The deputy leader of the action team is the former team leader Coret A direct descendant of the power station, his adjustments and transformations follow the Icarus path like yours. Theoretically, he can also be nominated to be the next team leader... If you lead the reconstruction project of the power station and gain this prestige, then There was no hope for him at all.
"But having said that, based on the stability of his mental index, there was actually no hope from the beginning, but he didn't realize it yet."
Booker said and shrugged.
"What about the person in charge of the 'Nord Voice of Justice'? He should be an iron radical, the kind who hopes to completely eliminate the power of Pluto Deep Submersible Company from the bottom of the settlement area."
Jiang Zhou asked.
At the previous meeting, the person in charge impassionedly denounced the organization for making peace with the company. Jiang Zhou was deeply impressed by his impassioned attitude of forgetting his original intention.
"He, he is actually a capitulationist."
As Booker spoke, a corner of his clothes transformed into an atomizer. He took out a cigarette cartridge from his pocket and put it in. He took a puff and continued:
"Keep this in mind, when the gap in strength between the enemy and ourselves is difficult to bridge, any theory of quick victory is essentially the rhetoric of the capitulation faction. Of course, it is also possible that he was frightened by the company's previous disciplinary actions and is now a little disillusioned. Crazy... Anyway, I will replace him before the next meeting. It is not a good idea for him to continue to hold the biggest publicity mouth now."
As he spoke, he paused for a moment, as if to give the other party time to digest the information, and then continued unhurriedly:
"You have to be able to see things like this yourself in the future."
In response, Jiang Zhou, who felt physically and mentally exhausted, lay directly on the table and complained:
"It's really complicated... To be honest, I never thought I was the material to be a leader..."
Whether it's Jiang Zhou or Liao Qi, both of them seriously lack experience and... interest in managing an organization with more than twenty people.
If Jiang Zhou was really good at this, during the Janus project a hundred years ago, he wouldn't have realized that he had been sidelined until the end of the project.
"You have no ambition."
As for Liao Qi's complaint, Booker gave a brief answer.
Then he picked out some of the minutes and threw them into the trash. The next second, the documents in the trash can spontaneously ignited, turning into ashes and rolling in the flames.
"The best leaders are often those who do not expect to be leaders. Just like Frederick II, whose lifelong dream was just to be a bagpiper."
Turn over the ashes to confirm that the document was indeed burned clean, Booker said.
Come on, the decapitated King Louis XVI still wants to be a locksmith... This kind of thing is only related to ability. People without leadership skills will only bring disaster if they are ambitious or not.
Jiang Zhou couldn't help but roll his eyes - obviously, the other party's remarks were just perfunctory. The real purpose of the other party is actually just to deceive themselves into taking over Icarus in the future.
Has this confirmed that he will leave the Nord settlement in the future?
Jiang Zhou thought so.
"Okay, let's get down to business first... You went to Theseus's warehouse with Shenlan yesterday. Did you gain anything?"
After finishing what he was doing, Booker looked up at Liao Qi again and asked.
Jiang Zhou straightened his back when he heard this, and his expression instantly became serious.
"That's it... the security measures inside the Honeycomb Warehouse have been upgraded a lot compared to the mirror we explored in the Abyss Dark Web before. Seismic wave sensors, molecular sniffing devices, thermal radiation howlers, and high-energy reaction detection Radar... there are also many new devices whose models have not been found yet. In addition, regarding the new security robots, I saw the Vesta Intelligent Control mark, so to speak..."
"in short……"
Booker interrupted Liao Qi's dish name and asked directly for the conclusion:
"Can the Hyena's quantum camouflage system deal with those alarm devices?"
"It's absolutely possible. You can sneak in very easily just like you did when you went to my house before."
Jiang Zhou nodded and continued:
"But it's still the same problem as before. You can't bring that universal printer out of the warehouse without being noticed."
"What about the plan we discussed before? Sneak in first, then activate the realm of silence inside the warehouse, paralyzing all radio signals inside, and then..."
Booker asked.
This was the plan with the highest probability of success that he and Liao Qi had come up with after extensive discussions.
Theseus Freight is operated entirely by AI, with no human employees inside the warehouse. In other words, he only needs to sneak into it to install the Silent Realm Generator and paralyze all the security robots, and then he can confidently give the universal printer to...
"Sorry, can't do it."
Jiang Zhou shook his head and rejected the plan.
"Unfortunately, probably because of the previous riot, Theseus Freight Company upgraded its security measures - I saw almost a dozen autonomous drones with independent self-compiling cores inside the Honeycomb Warehouse alone. Products of Star Intelligent Control. They can act even when exposed to the Silent Realm, and you will definitely be exposed by then."
When Booker heard this, he spread his hands:
"Then I can't think of a way to do it."
In response, Jiang Zhou smiled:
"But I came up with a very feasible solution."
