Chapter 1316 Poseidon Heavy Industries

After that, the topics between the two parties began to gradually open up.

"Ms. Edson, I wonder what you think of this 911 incident?"

As they were talking, someone started talking about 911.

"Ah, actually it's nothing. It's just that in this situation, war seems to be somewhat inevitable, but our only problem now is where the battlefield is... Ahem, in short, no matter what, we are in this conflict

The main goal is to avoid conflicts with the Soviets. Once there is a conflict with the Soviets, the benefits we have obtained and the benefits we are about to obtain may be damaged..."

During the first half of the speech, Catherine found that her tone sounded a bit like she was responding to a reporter's interview, so later on, Catherine changed her tone slightly.

"I think that in the face of this conflict, we should join forces... Well, maybe we can join forces to do something special?"

Catherine smiled.

"!!!"

They were a little shocked.

"Look at our current situation, it can be said to be very serious. I believe that many people suffered losses in this 9/11 terrorist attack, and our Ark Group also suffered..."

Fake! Totally fake!

Catherine suffered no losses at all, and the Ark Group suffered no direct losses at all.

Because Catherine didn't have any department at the World Trade Center.

The lessons from her previous life made Catherine decide that it would be better to be a little more cautious.

After all, maybe someday some awesome guy will fly a plane and crash into the World Trade Center?

That must be fun, but if it involves heavy losses to myself...well, let's forget it.

Catherine didn't want to lose her own people to something that she was originally happy to see.

"Although the Soviet Union also suffered the same losses as us, the losses suffered by the Soviets were far less than ours. Their deaths were all ordinary people. But our losses were elites - and their number was ten times theirs.

.”

More importantly, the United States had to compromise with the Soviet Union for this purpose.

"So, why don't we join forces and do something to safeguard our interests?"

This is just like what Catherine said before.

If the other party gives in to her, she will offer them a sweet treat.

"Poseidon Heavy Industries."

Catherine said one word.

But many people frowned.

But among them, Franklin, David and Soros are exceptions.

What they see is unlimited interest.

Poseidon Heavy Industries?

...heavy industry?

Heavy industry is the foundation of a country.

However, heavy industry is definitely not the most profitable place.

Even many national-level heavy industries require large investments and low profits.

"Perhaps everyone present has heard of a wonderful existence...the cyber body."

Everyone was moved by it!

Cyber body!

Everyone has heard of such a being!

But what exactly is this?

What can this magical thing bring to them?

"If you are interested, our Ark Group will send you invitations to participate in our seminar in the next few days. Prosthetic technology will be the focus of our meeting..."

Prosthetics and electronic brains are two technologies that Catherine wants to develop.

Of course, it would be impossible to create a fully nanosized electronic brain like the one in "Ghost in the Shell".

However, if you are making a brain-computer interface, it doesn't matter at all.

The brain enhanced by the brain chip can completely connect to the Internet and even achieve in-brain assistance.

By intervening in the retina, technology can allow users to realize a virtual screen in front of their eyes.

Of course, if it is not a brain nerve chip but a sensing device, it is also possible.

Catherine didn't want to install such a device in her head.

However, if an external sensing device is to be connected to the brain during surgery, the value required is about ten times that of the original one.

In other words, if an embedded brain-computer interface costs US$100,000, a sensor-type brain-computer interface will cost US$1 million - and "at least".

That's it, the banquet is almost over.

But at the end, when they all left, Catherine stayed.

"Miss Edson, your last plan is really bold, but you are sure it is Poseidon Heavy Industries."

"Actually, I think Dainippon Giken's name is good, but unfortunately, we don't seem to be a Japanese company..."

Catherine complained already.

Soros is a bit funny.

Whether it is Dainippon Giken or Poseidon Heavy Industries, this is a thing called "Soul Reaction".

But if it were a dead guy from the 21st century, he would definitely complain - isn't this thing cosplaying in "Ghost in the Shell"?!

Catherine, who has a bad taste, is still in a bad mood...

"I am ready to promote my technology."

Catherine said this.

"Prosthetic technology?"

"Not just prosthetics, but also prosthetics and biological brain technology."

This is completely a technology that is difficult to possess in the original world, because in the original world, there is simply no space for people to realize such technology.

——You cannot take out a brain alone for detailed study, or even keep it active after cutting it open.

However, in Catherine's era, there happened to be such technology.

It may be a bit science fiction, but this is exactly what current technology can achieve.

This is like asking people in the 1970s to imagine a future world. Who would have imagined that the future world would be a world enveloped by the Internet and intelligent electronic devices?

It’s not that the technology is too wonderful.

However, people will eventually be blinded by everything that shrinks before their eyes.

Everything they know is analyzed based on the knowledge they already possess.

Therefore, they cannot imagine a world that develops from another possibility.

This is not a question of science fiction or not.

This is because the knowledge they possess binds them.

According to research, human beings can only reintegrate and deduce the knowledge obtained in their own brains. However, they have no way to "create" outside of the knowledge they possess, and the probability of being able to "create" is very low. However,

, without exception, are the shining points of human technology.

This means that humans can only provide feedback, but cannot truly "innovate". It is reasonable to regard everything developed from another world line as "science fiction".

And Catherine is now walking on the road of "science fiction".

"Think about it, in the future, all our knowledge will be available through the Internet. Each of us will have an auxiliary computer. This computer will allow us to surf the Internet, chat, and identify ourselves anytime and anywhere.

And do some other things..."

In fact, the first few items have already been realized in the 21st century.

The existence that realizes these is called "smartphone".

But Catherine's concept goes deeper. She extended the entire concept to electronic brain technology.

"As for prosthetic bodies... Speaking of which, can you imagine a world in which a person completely uses an artificial body to carry out activities?"

Catherine smiled.

"That's...what?"

Soros obviously didn't know what Catherine meant.

"It's not anything, it's just that..."

Catherine knocked on her head.

"Except for this place, all other places can be replaced..."

Soros shook his head: "What you said is really amazing."

"It's not surprising. It's true."

Catherine smiled.

After Soros was stunned for a moment, he smiled and shook his head: "Yes, if this is what you said, then it will definitely become a fact..."

It's like this mysterious "a".

The mysterious "a" protein has infinite possibilities. Such an existence is really amazing.

What does the future look like?

No one can tell.

A small change can cause drastic changes in history.

Butterflies can turn everything upside down.

The only thing that remains unchanged is the contradictory relationship between productivity and production relations.

History is a mysterious thing composed of countless necessities and accidents. Some are inevitable, but this is not a specific history, but the process of history.

Some are accidental, like 911.

If Bin Laden had been killed a year ago, there must be a question mark as to whether "911" would still exist in this world.

But regardless of whether there was 9/11 or not, the productivity and production relations of this world are still developing, and this will not change based on human will.

It can even be said that the more capitalists develop technology, the more they dig their own graves.

Just like what Hitler's good friend Stasch said back then...

"Poseidon Heavy Industry is just the beginning, I will create a whole world!"

Catherine said proudly.

"A whole world? Miss Edson, what is your purpose?"

Soros was a little stunned.

"The purpose is very simple. The reason is probably because of the blueprint I planned back then. I want to realize my future."

Catherine said so.

"Your future?"

"Yes, everything is going to change."

Catherine narrowed her eyes.

"Everything is changing."
