Weizi rubbed her throbbing temples.
She couldn't remember how many times she had sat here because of Monster Industries.
It seemed that ever since she had invited the president of Monster Industries to participate in the business event, her office style as the president's first assistant had changed. She had become an overseas consultant for Monster Industries.
However, this time, Weizi understood that today's meeting was different from any other meeting or discussion in the past.
"Then, let's begin the meeting." Weizi knocked on the oak table in front of her that was filled with a sense of history. "I think that before the meeting begins, everyone has already collected enough information from their respective professional fields."
"The theme of our meeting this time is to summarize the information from various professional fields and finally evaluate the extent of the virtual world's impact on us."
"Then, will we react or counteract this?" An officer from the Pentagon raised his thick eyebrows. His tone was full of urgency. "The information we have provided is detailed enough and has been evaluated by many of our technical personnel. We have found that after using the Primordial Spirit Suit and the Full Posture Simulator, the training level of the soldiers can be increased by 200%. "
"Isn't this impact big enough?"
"Do we still need to have a meeting to discuss it?"
“200%？” The president of Google interjected with some surprise. "Isn't this a bit of an exaggeration? After all, it's just virtual training. Isn't saving training funds its most prominent function?"
The officer sneered. "You businessmen only see money in your eyes."
"Saving astronomical amounts of training funds is indeed one of its advantages, but have you ever thought about it? As long as we equip the soldiers with this system, then in daily training, there are many training subjects in our training system that we have to seal in the training files due to risk considerations. Now, we can take them out without any scruples. "
"It's simply a joke."
"Originally, our Marine Special Forces' underwater explosives training subject started out in the sea, training the special forces members with 100% actual combat requirements."
"And the result?"
The officer couldn't help but slap the table. "The result was that in actual combat situations, the accident rate of this subject training was as high as 3%."
"The patterns in the sea are complex, and many special forces members encounter undercurrents and obstacles underwater. Therefore, the elimination rate for this training has always been one of the highest among all the training subjects. Every period, 20% of the people are eliminated because they don't meet the requirements. "
"The high elimination rate led to many people having no choice but to take risks and forcibly pass through those 'dangerous areas' in order to complete the mission. As a result, extreme situations like the special forces members running out of oxygen or being trapped underwater would occur from time to time during the training."
"Those old men in the Congress keep blackmailing us with funding, asking us to rectify, rectify, and rectify again."
"We have changed the sea from a real battle situation to a designated bay that has been specially 'cleaned'."
"Then change the designated bay to an inland lake with a lower risk factor."
"In the end, it was changed to a swimming pool."
"Tell me, what kind of combat skills do you think a special force member who was trained in a greenhouse can master?"
"Underwater demolition training is one of them. There's also jungle survival training, live ammunition training, mine clearance training, combat training, assassination and anti-assassination training, and so on."
"How can there be any actual combat in this dangerous training? It's just a joke to fool those saints."
"If we put all this training into the virtual world, we can increase the level of danger by ten times. It will be more dangerous than actual combat. But we won't have to pay a single cent of the training cost other than the virtual equipment, and we won't have to worry about those bad accidents anymore. "
"This is just the personnel training. The significance of the equipment training will only be greater than the personnel training."
After speaking indignantly in one breath, the officer glared at the president of Google and asked him if he still thought the 200% increase in training level was an exaggeration.
The latter shook his head awkwardly.
"Please calm down first." Tim, the president of Apple, stood up to ease the atmosphere. "Even so, we can't make countermeasures the first choice."
"I always think that if we can establish good cooperation with Monster Industries and introduce the virtual world project to us, it will be the best choice."
"Countermeasures will only result in a lose-lose situation."
"Is that possible?" The officer sneered again. "Even if there was a 10% chance of cooperation, we wouldn't be sitting here. Instead, we would be sitting in the building of Monster Industries, discussing various cooperation terms with the stubborn president."
This was the truth …
Which one of them had never been rejected by Monster Industries?
Technology companies such as Apple, Facebook, and Google dreamed of cooperating with Monster Industries, but Monster Industries didn't even look at them seriously. In the eyes of the president, they were even more disliked than the strange man in the bell tower in Notre Dame de Paris.
The arrogant and stubborn president even said to Weizi that he would cut off the altar of Apple, the company with the highest market value in the United States.
At first, Weizi thought that this joke could be used to make people laugh at various meetings.
Now, the market value of Apple had fallen worse than a has-been star. If anyone dared to mention this in front of Tim and Weizi, they would definitely turn hostile.
At this moment, Wez's fair face became awkward and awkward. "Cooperation … is indeed impossible."
"Now, everyone, please state the information collected from the virtual world."
"After the meeting, I will organize the information into a short report and present it to the president."
…
The presentation lasted for more than two hours. When the presentation was over, Weizi got up and shook hands with the presidents one by one. They left.
These presidents' schedules were as busy as the president. After the presentation, they couldn't stay even if they wanted to. Besides, they couldn't make the final decision on the response plan. As long as the president signed, they would be notified of the response result.
After sending off the presidents, Assistant Weizi returned to the conference room. She nodded slightly to the officers sitting on both sides of the room.
"Okay, now we're all on the same side."
"Let's talk about something related to the military."
After speaking, an assistant behind Weizi took out a few documents that were not allowed to be leaked out from a briefcase and handed them to the officers one by one.
— — Monster Industries' Non-civilian Raw Materials and Abnormal Raw Materials Investigation Report.
The first page of the report only had a few brief sentences:
According to our investigation, Monster Industries involved plasma batteries, rare earth metal minerals, nuclear fuel, and diamond mineral resources. There were many abnormal mineral resource sources that did not go through the international mineral market.
The second item of the report introduced plasma batteries.
The energy density of plasma batteries was nearly ten times that of existing lithium-ion batteries, and the number of cycle charging and discharging cycles and charging time were far beyond the level of existing batteries.
The energy breakthrough brought about by plasma batteries was no less significant in the field of batteries than the virtual world on the Internet.
This kind of battery was extremely coveted by European and American countries in both commercial and military fields.
Now, in the report, the most important source of materials for plasma batteries was listed in detail — rare earth metal elements.
Most of the rare earth metal elements in Monster Industries came from a small country in Africa called Nigeria. The report also introduced the details of Monster Industries' mining and smelting plants in Nigeria.
The second item was related to nuclear fuel.
According to the investigation, the intelligence department believed that behind the mining and smelting plant, there was also a tightly protected nuclear-involved plant.
The location of the plant was no longer a secret, but there were various detection and sensing systems there. The intelligence department had been unable to break through the cordon to investigate more.
The third item was diamond-type mineral resources.
From the screen of the first-generation magic crystal mobile phone, technicians extracted the diamond coating processed by vapor deposition.
In the second-generation magic crystal mobile phone, this diamond coating also existed.
Then, in the era of holographic glasses, technicians found that this diamond coating technology was instantly improved to a level of unimaginable and creepy harshness.
The harsher the technical requirements, the more important the technology was in the product.
There was no doubt that the diamond coating technology on the holographic glasses display would inevitably be the most important part of the holographic glasses technology.
Without this technology, holographic glasses could not be used normally.
Diamond coating required a large number of diamonds, and a large number of ultra-high purity rare diamonds were needed to coat holographic glasses.
Nigeria was also the largest source of diamond raw materials for Monster Industries. According to the estimates of technicians and investigators, about 85% of Monster Industries' high-grade diamonds came from Nigeria.
The three diamond factories that Monster Industries launched in a short time could not be hidden from these intelligence personnel.
Therefore, the next topic of discussion for Weizi and several Pentagon officers was the issue of these important mineral raw materials in the report.
