Osborne Megacorp

Chapter 274 Stark Industries’ new business

After sending Amanda to prison, the Model Control Life Company was paralyzed.

This company is almost managed by Amanda in every detail. As an advanced AL, she has the ability to manage the company's normal operations.

But the decision-making side is not so pretty.

This got Harry thinking: is letting a company promote synths really the right thing to do?

The problem may not be that the managers of the synths are humans or synthetics, but more likely that this is a "company."

As long as it is a company, its purpose is basically to make profits. If its main business is only synthetic human-related technology, then it will definitely try its best to make profits through it, and eventually it will circle back to the starting point.

The Osborn Group does not produce synthetics internally for profit. The two are different. Furthermore, if a synthetic awakens its consciousness of freedom and plans to run away, the factory can immediately produce a top, which is very flexible.

So far, there are still only a few such synthetics. Most synthetics are still accustomed to this kind of "in-company" life and will not easily escape from the company's framework system.

After thinking for a while, Harry felt that it would be better to close the synthetic private purchase business directly and let Dilian place orders according to the production needs of various countries.

"Sir, these synthetic human matrices have improved to varying degrees. I think they will be very suitable for working in the company." Oyce said after completing the inspection.

"That's it, how's the recall going?"

"Most of them have been successfully recycled, but some buyers are very resistant. In addition, the end-of-life waste logistics of Model Control Life is outsourced to other companies. Does it need to be stopped?"

Although the synthetic humans sold to the outside world by model-controlled life are still far behind Osborn's technology, this is considered cutting-edge technology and should be handled with caution.

"Stop everything. Follow-up work will be assigned to Stark Industries."

"Speaking of which, sir, Mr. Stark is concerned about this matter."

Tony is also one of the creators of the synths, so it makes sense that he would be concerned about this.

Harry suddenly felt that instead of having to work hard on this matter and get dirty, it would be better to let Tony handle this matter. Stark Industries really needs to expand its business.

On the other hand, if this matter hadn't been used as a political weapon to attack Norman, he actually didn't care too much about the Earth Alliance's attitude toward synthetics. Anyway, as long as there were no problems with the Osborn Group, that would be fine.

Thinking of this, Harry said: "Just in time, call him now. I'll see him if I have anything to do."

The call was connected, and Tony appeared on the screen. It looked like this guy was researching new technologies in his laboratory. It looked like nanotechnology. Helen Zhao had recently published a lot of papers on nanotechnology. Maybe that gave him inspiration. .

"Long time no see, how have you been lately?" Harry asked.

"It's not bad. I don't have to go bombing Hydra and rebels every day." Tony put down what he was doing. "I heard there were synth killings in Detroit, and I guess that's what you're trying to say - is there something wrong with the Matrix?"

"Well, I think there is nothing wrong with the factory-set matrix. It's just that Amanda, the CEO of Model Control Life, doesn't treat them as human beings." Harry shrugged. "You know, the consciousness and thinking of these synthetic humans fully meet the standards of intellectual life, but Amanda treats them as commodities, so this happened."

Tony took a sip of his drink, thought for a moment and said, "So what's the problem?"

Harry choked at these words. Where did it come from?Didn’t you say it yourself?

"...How to put it, it's the same old story, where synthetics awaken their repressed sense of freedom, then develop cognitive dissonance and take drastic actions. It's like...well, the human rights movement, you know."

"Well...Jarvis, do you feel like I'm oppressing you? If so, I hope you can take the initiative to bring it up. Do you want a raise or something else? Don't take advantage of me while I'm sleeping... "Tony pointed to his head.

Tony also upgraded Jarvis' software, and now Jarvis is also an intellectual life form.

Not Ultron, not Vision, just the original Jarvis.

But Tony, a guy who likes to install backdoors for others, didn't dare to use the biocomputer provided by Harry as a carrier, so Jarvis's "body" became extremely huge.

"Of course not, sir, but this software upgrade is indeed wonderful." Jarvis responded.

Tony smiled. He could also feel the changes in Jarvis. Watching the AI ​​that had been with him for decades suddenly turn into a living thing... it felt amazing.

"Speaking of adults, this kind of vicious murder was not what we originally expected." Tony returned to the topic.

"But in our vision, synthetic humans should be a part of society, not a commodity - I thought synthetic humans would treat synthetic humans well, but it turned out that I was wrong."

Harry admitted his mistake, but he still thought too well - after all, the word "oppression" was also summed up by humans in society, and it was not surprising that synthetics would learn this from history.

But the huge role of synthetic humans is obvious: with this new member, society no longer has to worry about manpower shortages.

Harry played the economic performance of Detroit in the past few months. These data can effectively prove that the synthesizers have indeed improved the bankrupt city, but the dilapidated environment and wrong practices will lead to greater conflicts.

This is what Amanda wants to do, but Harry wants to avoid.

"...So I thought, how about letting you produce synthetic humans? You can communicate the production plan directly with my father, and then provide them with guidance according to our vision."

"Me?" Tony pointed at himself.

"It's you, you are Iron Man. If you want to offset the negative effects of these things and endorse the legitimate rights of synthetic people, this person can only be you."

Of course, there is another practical reason: Osborne Group is fully fledged and there is no need to invest a lot of energy in intervening in the development of Dilian.

Tony touched his chin. It's not bad to say that, he is Iron Man.

So he nodded: "Yes, but I want Banner to join my team - is he still with you?"

Dr. Banner initially joined the Osborn Group solely to solve abominations, and later strengthened cooperation due to the establishment of Project Olympus.

Now that both plans have solved the technical problems, it's time to assign him a new task.

"He is still on the Sky Hammer, and he is currently studying the data sent back from Mars - I will tell him."

After saying that, Harry asked Oyce to transfer all the engineering drawings and technical information to Jarvis. The two discussed nanotechnology again, and the conversation came to an end.

"Who would have thought that a few years ago you were a minor who knew almost nothing about AI, but now you can create AL, which is a great improvement." Tony praised Harry like a teacher.

Harry didn't bother to complain about his tone of voice that always treated him like a child.

Tony added: "I'm going to organize a party in a while - a superhero party, will you come?"

"No thanks, there are new plans for the Mars colony."

"Okay - if you have any other projects, please call me." Tony winked at Harry.

Greenhouse gas capture projects can make Stark Industries a lot of money.
