After returning to the Elysian Space World by the Spirit Star Spaceport, Yang Tianyi's originally idle days became slightly busier.
The end of the promotion battle means that the group has one more world in its hands. Although there are past experiences and plans made in advance to follow, conquering a world from its roots is far from easy as imagined.
And because there are still indigenous forces like the Shrimp Empire in the world of District 9 that need special treatment, in order to avoid conflicts between the two parties or nip the conflict in the cradle, the group is bound to invest a large amount of resources in the world of District 9, including warships, space Fortresses, land-based anti-orbital weapons, and more.
Everyone understands that strong force is the basis for maintaining peace. If given time, the power deployed by the Group in the world of Area 9 is not enough to scare the menacing Shrimp Empire fleet, then even if the relationship between the two parties does not deteriorate to the point of war, billions of humans on the earth will definitely suffer. .
The vast sea of stars contains nearly infinite resources, whether in the past or in the future, for hundreds of thousands of years.
Therefore, from a subjective point of view, Yang Tianyi does not want the population under the group's rule to be reduced significantly due to some avoidable disasters.
Business is business, and life is life. Since the humans in these worlds accept the group as their ruler, even if it is for the purpose of improving work efficiency, providing a stable life for these tens of billions of humans must become the chairman of the group. One of the responsibilities.
And to put it harshly, Yang Tianyi believed that even if they died, they would have to die on the road of creating value for the group instead of being slaughtered by a group of aliens falling from the sky.
After all, with the current strong productivity of the group, there are no necessities that cannot be produced quickly. Only humans who grow naturally, the future workers, staff and soldiers of these groups need years to grow from birth to adulthood. Such a huge time unit may be the only exception allowed by the top management in a group system where efficiency is paramount.
It is true that the group can use a large number of robots and clones to replace natural people for daily production and work, and the former is most likely to be more efficient than the latter, and there are no technical problems.
But if the main subjects that make up the group change from naturally growing humans to billions of man-made products without emotions or with only false memories, Yang Tianyi is worried that his original intentions when establishing the group will subtly change until he himself becomes Part of this cold machine.
In fact, he stayed up late at night for a long time more than once, leaning on the edge of the bed to reflect on himself, questioning himself over and over again under the moonlight, what was the purpose of establishing the group in the first place.
Is it to make money? It is no exaggeration to say that he owns several worlds and has become extremely wealthy in a literal sense. Is it for power? He is crowned the emperor of the empire, and any decision he makes will affect billions of living beings. From birth to death, everything about them is closely related to their carefully constructed group system, and they stay together day and night.
He is willing to help the homeless people on the streets and provide them with shelter and basic material security at extremely low prices; he will listen carefully to the needs of the group's employees and the people under his rule, and as long as they are not excessive, he will provide them one by one. satisfy.
But at the same time, he caused boundless chaos and war in other worlds, taking pleasure in the howling of the enemies in the flames, and turning a cold eye to the group's army's use of force to suppress the rebels. Maybe he helped a lot of people, but the cost was other people's lives or even their lives.
When thinking about his future life trajectory, Yang Tianyi looked through history and found that those beings who were quite similar to himself were often given derogatory titles such as "dictator" and "tyrant".
Although he doesn't mind being called this by a minority of opponents, if one day the minority becomes the majority, what should he do at that time? Should he still order Ramsey to mobilize the army and fleet to suppress it by force?
On another evocative night, Yang Tianyi casually closed the plan submitted to him by the engineering department regarding the group's future development plan in the Ninth District World, sat down on the edge of the bed on time and closed his eyes.
After a long period of endless thought, he opened his eyes, and a light seemed to appear in his deep pupils.
At this moment, his thoughts were extremely clear. At this moment, he seemed to be a fish jumping out of the river. The moment he stayed in the air, he had a glimpse of the future flow of the river of destiny.
...
Early the next morning, Yang Tianyi woke up and looked at the time. He quickly got up from the bed, washed and changed clothes and walked out of the chairman's bedroom on the top floor of the building.
His schedule today is very full. In the morning, he will have a meeting with Harland and other department heads to discuss some major matters. At noon, he will have lunch with the governors of various countries in the Elysian Space World, and at the same time, he will strive to work with them on several large-scale cooperation projects. reached an agreement to further enhance the group's control over the world parliament and national governments.
The work in the afternoon is relatively easy. You only need to go to the group's newly completed advanced arsenal in the Middle East Alliance to show up and inspect the efficiency of the production line and the living standards of the employees.
As for the evening, after the private chef prepares a sumptuous dinner, Yang Tianyi and Xingshu will sit down together. While enjoying the delicious food, he would have a heart-to-heart talk with the awakened artificial intelligence, which was still in its ignorant stage, and try to plant a seed called sensibility into her program before her body was created.
If it doesn't work for one day, it will be a week, if it doesn't work for one week, it will be one month. He believes that sooner or later Xingshu will realize the fact that he has human emotions. Only then will she completely complete her awakening and embrace her true self in the boundless world of data.
For some reason, on the way to the conference room in the middle of the building from the top floor, Yang Tianyi always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't explain exactly where the problem was. He just felt that there seemed to be an inexplicable aura permeating the air today.
After savoring it carefully, he found that the source of these smells was very messy. After looking closely in the direction he sensed, Yang Tianyi was shocked to find that the source of the smell was actually the group employees coming and going around him, which immediately puzzled him.
Although he was curious about whether there was something wrong with his nose, he couldn't just stop someone and ask them if they had taken a good bath, right?
However, the doubts lingering in Yang Tianyi's mind did not last long, because he found that he did not seem to smell the smell with his nose, and the smell hidden in those breaths was somewhat similar to human emotions.
For example, when a smiling employee passed by him, he seemed to be able to smell a refreshing and sweet smell from the other person's body.
After that, Yang Tianyi saw several employees who were taken to the corridor and scolded by their bosses because their work was not completed in time. The bitterness emanating from their bodies spread everywhere. He just stopped and watched for a moment, and a trace of sadness emerged in his heart. After a long time, he even felt the urge to burst into tears.
"What's going on? I seem to be able to see other people's emotions..."
In order to verify his conjecture, Yang Tianyi came to an employee who accidentally scattered documents on the ground. While helping her pick up the papers scattered on the ground, he secretly looked at the smile on the corner of the other person's mouth and asked tentatively: "Re- Organizing files should be a sad thing, right? Why don't you seem to be bothered at all?"
"Really? I thought I hid it well!"
The female employee picked up the documents one after another from the ground and explained in a brisk tone: "Because today is my first day of promotion, knocking over a document is not a big deal, so why bother about it?"
Yang Tianyi smiled slightly when he heard this, aligned the papers he picked up and handed them to the other party's hands, then softly agreed: "You are right, getting promoted is indeed a happy thing, Miss Paulson."
The employee who heard her name only felt that the man's voice was somewhat familiar. After recalling it, she suddenly looked up and found that the person who helped her pick up the documents for a long time was indeed the chairman of the board with whom she had a chance encounter.
"Aren't you busy eating pudding from the canteen today?"
After taking a look at the other party's job card, which had a higher-level position than the previous liaison officer, Yang Tianyi couldn't help but make a joke, and then drifted away under Paulson's shy eyes, having already concluded his suspicions in his heart. .
The smiling employees are excited, so the food is sweet and delicious, while the scolded employees are sad, so it is bitter and difficult to swallow. But Miss Paulson had two completely different auras at the same time, the sweetness brought by promotion and salary increase, and the bitterness caused by spilling documents, which is enough to prove that she does have the ability to sense the emotions of others. .
This reminded Yang Tianyi of the conversation he had with Earl Carl, the business envoy of the Yongdarim Destiny Empire in the Star World a few months ago, about psychic powers. The latter clearly explained how to judge whether he has become a psychic potential, among which Sensing other people's emotions is one of the fastest and most authoritative methods.
Although he was still a little confused in his heart, there was no doubt that after a long period of self-reflection and thinking about life, he inadvertently succeeded in achieving the first awakening mentioned by Erkar, and stepped half a foot into the palace of psychic energy.
Perhaps simple mind-reading and precognition abilities cannot bring him any benefits for the time being, but Yang Tianyi is still very happy, because this at least shows that he is not a despised psychic insulator.
And as long as he can awaken again, he can be like the omnipotent beings mentioned by Erkar, distorting reality with thoughts and reshaping matter with spiritual energy.
After trying to reduce some of his sensitivity to human emotions, Yang Tianyi touched his nose which had returned to normal, and while thinking about how to use his ability to surprise several department heads, he hummed a little tune in a happy mood. Opened the door to the conference room.
When he saw that Haaland was being held tightly by Ramsey and demanding more military expenses, but had to smile and maintain his demeanor, he rolled his eyes and started to get angry.
"Harland! You don't seem very happy?"
"..."
First latest.
