Chapter 326 Tan Zhengzong, the decisive blow!

Inside the spacious and brightly lit launch hall of Zaiya Company headquarters.

Media from all walks of life gathered together, and a somber atmosphere filled the air.

Today's press conference is destined to cause a huge uproar in all sectors of society.

On the stage, Tan Zhengzong appeared calm and composed, sitting upright in a sharp suit.

He calmly surveyed the entire room, a faint smile playing on his lips, exuding composure as if everything was under his control.

"Everyone, I know why I'm here today,"

Tan Zhengzong's voice was clear, cool, and steady.
"Zaiya Linker has indeed exposed some problems in the past period of time, such as users losing control of their minds due to excessive pressure, thus turning into a demon machine state."

He paused slightly, and the entire hall fell silent. All the reporters held their breath, waiting for his next words.

"However!"

Tan Zhengzong's tone suddenly changed, and his voice became firm and powerful.
"Are these side effects all we need to be concerned about?"

The reporters on the scene were stunned for a moment, exchanging glances filled with doubt and confusion.

Tan Zhengzong slowly stood up, placed his hands on the podium, glanced at everyone, and began to speak slowly.

"The real issue that deserves our attention is not the Zaia linker itself, but the existential crisis that humanity as a whole is facing today."

"Human-machine puppets, these machines with artificial intelligence that are constantly evolving, have silently taken away the vast majority of human jobs."

"This has led to millions of people losing their jobs, economic turmoil, and unprecedented social division and crisis."

His voice grew deeper, his tone becoming magnetic and captivating.

"Once these artificial intelligences reach the technological singularity and possess independent consciousness and thought, the inevitable conflicts and contradictions between them and humans will intensify."

"Therefore, we must find a new solution, a key that can truly allow humanity to regain control of its own destiny. And that key is the Zaia Linker!"

As soon as he finished speaking, all the reporters present were shocked.

Dan Masamune walked confidently onto the stage.
"The Zaia Linker can give humans processing power comparable to that of humanoid robots in a short period of time, greatly enhancing their competitiveness."

"After using it, no company will have any reason to claim: We only need humanoid robots and we no longer need humans!"

This sentence became the decisive blow.
A sentence that everyone will remember.
The human journalists present all fell silent.

As for the humanoid puppets, they were recorded and reported truthfully.
At this point, a meaningful, cold smile appeared on his face.
"Humanoid robots are indeed cheap, and hiring humans requires paying wages and insurance. But the value of human beings is far beyond what a mere cost can measure."

"What we are facing now is a racial issue between humans and humanoid robots, a socio-political issue concerning our future destiny!"

These words, like a boulder thrown into a lake, instantly stirred up a huge uproar.

The reporters on the scene were so impressed by his eloquent words and far-sighted vision that they even forgot to ask about the side effects of the Zaia linker.

At this moment, sitting in the corner of the audience, Finnis watched as Dan Masamune effortlessly controlled the entire scene on stage, and a sense of admiration rose in his heart.

The man before me is no ordinary businessman or entrepreneur, but a powerful figure who truly understands how to manipulate people's hearts and control public opinion.

Finally, Dan Masamune casually mentioned the side effects of the Zaia linker.

"Of course, I'm not denying the flaws in the Zaia linker. But we're working hard to improve the technology, and a new upgraded version will be released soon, at which time all the problems will be solved."

"And the reason I'm standing here today is to tell everyone."

He paused, his tone becoming even more solemn, as if he were the protagonist on the world stage.

"The Zaia Linker is not a dispensable toy, but the only key for humanity to reclaim control of its own destiny. Human society must unite and actively embrace the changes of this era, and can no longer allow artificial intelligence to dominate!"

After he finished speaking, he bowed slightly to all the reporters present, displaying just the right amount of humility and confidence.

In an instant, the hall erupted in enthusiastic applause and lively discussion, with numerous reporters vying to raise their microphones and bombarding the audience with more detailed questions.

But all of this was within Dan Masamune's calculations. All he needed was an opportunity to shift the topic and refocus on the importance of the Zaia Linker, rather than its side effects.

Following the press conference, public opinion underwent a fundamental shift, with major media outlets reporting on the future prospects of the Zaia Linker and the social conflicts between artificial intelligence and humanity.

As a result, ZAIA successfully weathered the crisis, and more importantly, the status of ZAIA Linker in human society was successfully elevated to a higher level.

Inside the office, light streamed through the blinds, casting deep shadows on Tan Zhengzong's face and making his already resolute and cold expression even more ruthless.

Finnis leaned gracefully against the desk, tilting his head slightly to look at Tan Zhengzong, a faint smile always on his lips: "Mr. Tan, as expected of you, you handled this media storm perfectly."

Tan Zhengzong chuckled softly, slightly raised his eyes to look at Finis, and calmly said.

"Public opinion is always just a tool; what really matters is the strategy behind it. This is just the first step in my plan."

Upon hearing this, Phineas raised an eyebrow curiously: "So, what are you planning to do next?"

It must be said that even if she were a time-traveler, she wouldn't be able to apply certain business tactics, but Tan Masamune did teach her a lesson.

"I?"

Dan Masamune seemed to find the question somewhat ridiculous, revealing a confident yet disdainful smile.
"I don't need to do anything next."

Finnis was somewhat surprised by this answer and waited for his explanation.

To be precise.

Tan Zhengzong slowly stood up, leisurely walked to the window, and looked down at the bustling city streets below.
"What I need to do is further expand the sales of the Zaia Linker, so that more and more humans will use it voluntarily." "Only in this way can I obtain a more comprehensive sample of game-related disease data. This data will become an important bargaining chip for me to control the entire social order."

He tilted his head slightly, his gaze sharp as he looked towards the distant horizon, his tone filled with undisguised confidence.
"As for the Destroyer.net and Hiden Intelligence, I don't need to take action myself. They will eventually collapse and disintegrate due to their own weaknesses and problems."

Upon hearing this, Finnis couldn't help but chuckle: "What an easy and simple method."

Tan Zhengzong turned his head, his face curving into a smile.
"The management team at Feidian Intelligent simply rode the wave of the times and hitched a ride on the coattails of capital. They have limited capabilities and a narrow strategic vision. When faced with a real crisis, they will naturally reveal their weaknesses and prove to be easily defeated."

Finnis nodded and smiled slightly: "However, I am quite curious. Mr. Tan, you have been emphasizing the need to eliminate Feidian Intelligence, but it seems that you have not completely opposed humanoid puppets. It seems that Zaia Corporation is also continuing to develop humanoid puppets?"

Upon hearing this, Tan Zhengzong gave a meaningful chuckle.
"Eliminating Feidian Intelligence does not mean eliminating the category of humanoid robots itself."

"The existence of humanoid robots has an undeniable commercial value for Zaia."

"On the one hand, this cheap and efficient labor force allows us to maintain a huge competitive advantage in the market. On the other hand, as long as we firmly control this industry, we can continue to guarantee the absolute leading position of Zaia Linker."

Upon hearing this, Phineas suddenly realized...
"That's just how the business world is, by its very nature."

Dan Masamune added calmly, "I don't need to completely reject or eliminate a certain type of product. Instead, I need to learn how to keep everything under my control and ensure that everything is controllable and beneficial to me."

This time, Finis was completely impressed by Dan Masamune's abilities.
"As expected of Mr. Tan, your clear and calm business thinking has made me admire you even more."

Tan Zhengzong turned around calmly, walked back to his desk, sat down again, and gently straightened his cuffs: "However, these are just business strategies. The real key stage is yet to come."

"Using the Zaia Linker, I will infiltrate every corner of human society with the game virus. When humanity is completely unable to escape this data dependence, the fate of this world will be completely in my hands."

After listening, Finnis slowly revealed a smile of admiration and respect. She bowed slightly and said elegantly, "It seems that my choice was indeed correct, Mr. Tan. I will be counting on you for the future."

Tan Zhengzong nodded slightly, his expression calm and confident, as the sunlight from the window fell on his shoulders.
Li Dou.
This time I have the upper hand, how are you going to fight me!
The atmosphere inside the MetsubouJinrai.net station was tense and oppressive, with Dan Kuroto's roar echoing throughout the room!

"That old fox, he truly lives up to his reputation as my cunning and treacherous father!"

"They've actually started using underhanded tactics; they're as good at it as ever!"

Tan Lidou paced back and forth, gesturing wildly and muttering to himself, his whole being in a state of high excitement and irritability.

This scene continued for a long time, giving Takumi Ogami, who was standing to the side, a terrible headache.

Onoue Takumi couldn't help but sigh and pinch his brow: "You've been cursing since the press conference, can't you calm down a little?"

Dan Kuroto, however, was completely deaf to the noise; instead, his emotions escalated, and he pointed angrily at the sky.
"Calm down? That guy is clearly openly provoking me! He actually dares to treat humans as his toys and even manages to gain public approval. This is an insult to me!"

Metsubou, who was standing next to him, originally wanted to scold this crazy guy and tell him to stop talking, but when he saw Dan Kuroto's crazy and dangerous eyes, Metsubou decided to wisely shut up.

Xun was so frightened that he huddled in a corner, trembling, wishing he could hide himself away, afraid that Dan Kuroto would notice him.

Looking at the gloomy-faced Metsu and the silent Xun hiding to the side, Onoue Takumi shook his head slightly and asked softly.
"Is it possible to completely expose Dan Masamune's conspiracy, while ensuring that the gaming addiction doesn't flare up?"

Dan Kuroto scoffed at the suggestion: "Expose? Ha! If I wanted to, I could easily trigger everyone's gaming addiction right away! I could plunge this world into madness and panic!"

Upon hearing this suggestion, Mie's eyes suddenly lit up, and he eagerly interjected, "Isn't this great? This way, we can also completely destroy humanity!"

"No, I absolutely disagree with this approach!"

Mie: "Why? This is a golden opportunity!"

"I have said that my goal has never been to destroy humanity, but to find a real solution to the problem and break the vicious cycle between humans and humanoid robots."

Faced with Onoue Takumi's resolute stance, Metsu fell silent, because Ark had remained quiet and had not refuted Onoue Takumi's argument from beginning to end.

This indicates that Ark's current will is not firm.
At this moment, Dan Kuroto finally calmed down a bit. He slumped into a chair in frustration, rubbing his temples hard with both hands and gritting his teeth as if talking to himself.

"Damn it! It seems I must finish that prototype driver as soon as possible, otherwise it will be too late once Dan Masamune's plan succeeds completely!"

Silent and quiet, Dimu Li stood in the corner, her gaze gently sweeping across the faces of the group of people before her, trying to capture and understand their emotional fluctuations.

After thinking about it all night, she gradually realized that it wasn't that she didn't care about Onoue Takumi, but that she might not even have the capacity to feel emotions.

Perhaps it was precisely because she lacked a genuine heart that she was unable to truly resonate with everything before her.

Without emotional resonance, she naturally couldn't truly understand or genuinely care about the crazy behavior of A-Qiao, Mie, Xun, and even Dan Li-Dou.

Realizing this, Dimu Li slowly lowered her gaze, feeling a slight sense of loss, but she quickly regained her composure and calm.

Perhaps, for her, a humanoid puppet, the so-called resonance is ultimately a luxury.

Fumiki sighed softly, silently observing everyone in the room.

She didn't say anything more, just stood quietly in the corner, her expression so calm it was hard to fathom.

At that moment, six slender figures silently appeared behind her.

Each one is exactly the same as Fueki Koyomi himself, with almost no difference in appearance, expression, or gentle and serene temperament.

They are all clones of Fueki Reijin's puppets, which she usually uses to perform various tasks. However, they appeared spontaneously at this moment because they sensed the fluctuations in the main body's emotions.

The several Dimu Lishi exchanged glances, their eyes revealing a hint of worry.

They didn't ask any questions, but simply stayed quietly by her side, protecting her in a wordless way.

It was as if a barrier had been erected in the room, quietly separating Di Muli from the noise of the outside world, forming a quiet and warm little world.

Only Koyomi and her sisters remain.
