Osborne Megacorp

For the same product, the sales situation and principles observed within the Osborne Group and in Dilian are different.

For example, in the virtual reality warehouse, Osborne Group will only sell castrated biological computer cores to Innovation Network Company. This thing is like the CPU of a computer, but the entire virtual reality warehouse machine is designed, produced and sold by Innovation Network Company. .

The same goes for synthetic humans. The machines and core components for producing synthetic humans are produced and sold by the Osborne Group. Osborne basically does not export finished products directly.

The company currently responsible for producing and exporting synthetic humans to the society is a company called Model Control Life. Harry has a controlling stake, but the CEO status of this company is very special.

She is a synthesizer who left the Osborn Group, named Amanda, and appears to be a middle-aged black woman.

According to records, the reason for her resignation was: she wanted to help synthesizers integrate into society. Detroit had just declared bankruptcy and was a very suitable city to promote synths.

This person is now reporting to Felicia about the whole story of the android killings. Harry is beside Felicia, but Amanda doesn't know it.

As mentioned earlier, the core components for the production of synthetic humans by Model Control Life need to be purchased from the Osborne Group. So far, Osborne has exported a total of 5 synthetic human cores to Model Control Life, which means that on the market There will never be more than [-] model-controlled life synthesizers in circulation.

But model-controlled life also has to make money. These [-] units were sold out in one go. Just providing follow-up services is not enough to make money, so what should we do?

Of course, these synth cores are recycled.

Amanda kept these cores in the company and sold these synths to the outside world through remote data transmission. Once the time was up, she launched the next generation of synths and began to scrap them.

This hand can be said to be quite business-savvy. In just ten months, Model Control Life has completed two iterations of synthetic humans.

It was obviously a core batch, but it was sold several times.

It's just that these synthetic humans are serious "conscious beings". What Amanda did is equivalent to putting a person's brain in a life-sustaining chamber, repeatedly restarting his consciousness without the person realizing the abnormality, and letting him People make slaves.

After restarting twice, some synthesizers experienced an exception:

When a rich man planned to buy a new version of the synth at home, the synth broke out. The sense of crisis of being abandoned and the remaining problems caused by restarting the synth matrix prompted him to take drastic action, and he killed the rich man.

After Harry read the report at hand, regarding Amanda's actions, even he, a big boss, had to call out the expert: Amanda is also a synthetic human, and her behavior is tantamount to using her own kind as consumables.

This is too humorous: Harry originally thought that synthetics know best about synthetics, and it would be most suitable to let a synthetic do this work. However, this guy backhandedly locked his kind in a small cage and repeatedly cut leeks.

You must know that the complexity of the synthesizer matrix exported by the Osborne Group seems to be only 0.2, but this is actually a very high level. The level of Ultron is estimated to be around 0.02.

Performance and consciousness are different. If Amanda does this, it is not unexpected that the synthetic human will behave excessively.

So what is she in it for?Logically speaking, these synthetics should not have such a strong obsession with profits. Moreover, this behavior of burning similar people as firewood does not fit the definition of "help".

The murderous synthetic was shot dead by the police who arrived later, and the rich man's daughter is now receiving psychological treatment.

After hearing this, Felicia said: "I think you should know that Mr. Osborne's expectation for synthetics is to integrate into society, right?"

Amanda nodded: "I know, but humans have very deep prejudices against synthetics, so we can only do it step by step in this way..."

"Step by step?" Harry felt a little funny and interrupted Amanda's speech.

Amanda was stunned. Converted to the calculation speed of an old computer, her brain's floating point calculation speed could reach 5 quadrillion times per second. But even so, she still had a moment of excitement after hearing Harry's voice. pause.

"You see, there are currently 70 synths employed in the Osborne Group, but we have never heard of these synths committing crimes within the group.

And you, since the second product iteration of model-controlled life, synthetic humans have learned to commit crimes.

Tell me, what results did your step-by-step approach achieve?Should I iterate you? "

While listening to Amanda's report, Harry also learned about the current situation in Detroit. In general, it was quite different from what he imagined.

"Mr. Osborne, I..."

"That's enough, Amanda, you were the first to resign and leave the company. I thought you could do this job, but now it seems that you are not suitable for this job.

The review team will arrive in Detroit soon and cooperate with the investigation. "

Amanda's emotions fluctuated violently, but she didn't take any action on the surface. She only paused briefly before lowering her head.

"Yes, Mr. Osborne."

......

There were crowds of people protesting outside the Model Control Life Company, but the place was surrounded by Detroit police.

DPD said it was an investigation, but in fact it was protecting the lives of the model-controlled people who were attacked by the angry crowd.

After all, these synthetic humans, which are low in price, have superior performance, and are completely obedient to humans, are really a good medicine to revitalize the economy and cannot be ignored.

This thing can put synthetic humans to work in factories without paying wages. It can stimulate consumption and only requires a little investment in publicity. This thing has become an iconic product of Detroit. Everyone wants to buy one, especially those who don’t want to get married. , but also have strong needs - of course, there are also married people.

Not to mention that the DPD director also specially ordered two X-love synthetics from the model-controlled beings that can shrink specific organs at will. Synthes of this type can be sold for millions outside.

Everything is negotiable. If the CEO of Model Control Life is so generous, how could he be a bad person?

It's just that he is happy at home. The DPD police officers are miserable now - even if they are equipped with police exoskeletons, body armors and explosion-proof shields in their hands.

The angry crowd yelled at the police officers, shouting words starting with F like rap, and the DPD police officers were highly focused.

They do have exoskeletons, but you have to know that exoskeletons are almost universal now, not to mention all kinds of prosthetic transformations. It's hard to say whether there will be dangerous prosthetic lunatics among the crowd.

Soon, people became quiet: a floating transport plane without jets appeared in the sky, and a group of fully armed black soldiers jumped from an altitude of more than ten meters.

Compared with the outer armor on their bodies, the exoskeletons on the DPDs looked like rags.

Their faces were covered by full-coverage helmets, and the sensors on the helmets flashed a dangerous red light. The weapons in their hands were as exquisite as handicrafts, and they were completely different from those on these police officers.

This is an army.

The DPD police officers nervously grasped their firearms. Corresponding to their haste, these dark troops stopped firmly in front of the DPD cordon. Facing the chief's call, they remained silent.

The sergeant was at a loss, but soon the order came down:

Don't hold them back.
