Becoming an Emperor Starting from the World of The Wandering Earth

As it turns out, Skynet's capabilities far exceeded Garcia's, and even Murphy's own imagination.

With the SkyNet system connected to the factory's regional network, the first areas to be optimized were the company's finance and legal departments, which had mountains of accounts and contracts.

In the past, Hannah and her team worked day and night to check everything, but even they couldn't avoid making mistakes.

After all, people aren't machines; they get tired and lose focus. Some tricks hidden in the nooks and crannies can easily slip by if you're not careful.

But Skynet will not.

In less than half a day, Skynet had analyzed all the financial transactions, purchase contracts, lease agreements, and even official documents exchanged with the UEG department over the past few years, and generated a report on potential risks and vulnerabilities, which was then sent directly to Murphy and Hannah's terminals.

The list clearly outlines which payment terms in contracts contain hidden traps and which asset depreciation calculation methods might be subject to scrutiny by the UEG tax authorities.

Even some middle managers who left the company a couple of years ago were found to have taken kickbacks in the procurement process, and these were all uncovered by Skynet.

Hannah's hands trembled slightly as she looked at the report.

She had a vague feeling that there were some problems, but she lacked evidence and the energy to investigate further.

Some of them were blind spots that she had never considered.

"Sir, if these things are caught by competitors or UEG inspectors, fines are a minor issue; in serious cases, they might revoke part of the operating license." Hannah approached Murphy immediately.

Murphy remained calm. "Fix the loopholes that need fixing as soon as possible, and renegotiate the contracts that need renegotiation. As for those who took kickbacks... gather the evidence and give it to Mullen. He knows how to 'kindly' remind them to give back what they shouldn't have taken and to shut up forever."

Despite the current turbulent situation and social chaos, as long as the UEG has not completely collapsed, the fig leaf called law and order can never be torn off.

Especially now that he is preparing to expand, he cannot afford to leave any obvious weaknesses that could be exploited.

After dealing with these historical issues, Hannah felt a significant weight lifted off her shoulders.

She no longer needed to bury herself in endless bills and terms; she only needed to be responsible for the final approval of some major projects and financial transactions related to the mutual aid society.

As for the others, Skynet will monitor them in real time.

Secondly, there's production efficiency.

After the SkyNet system connected to all the factory's production equipment, access control systems, and energy meters, each worker's operating habits, defect rate, and even walking routes and rest times were recorded, statistically analyzed, and entered into the SkyNet database.

Then, individual job matching and optimization suggestions are sent to each production supervisor.

Each employee is assigned to a suitable position based on the analysis of the SkyNet system.

The experienced technicians with particularly steady hands, who were well-suited for precision assembly, were transferred from the ordinary assembly line to the calibration post for key components.

Young men with good physical strength will be assigned to handle raw material handling and initial processing.

……

Make the best use of people's talents and resources.

The effects of these small changes are astonishing.

With the same workers and the same equipment, adjusting job positions can increase overall production efficiency by at least 15%.

Although the workers were a little unaccustomed at first.

But they soon discovered that the new positions were easier to handle, and their performance-based pay had increased significantly. Their initial discomfort vanished immediately, and they praised Mr. Murphy for his accurate judgment and ability to use people effectively.

Of course, personnel adjustments alone are not enough; the production lines within the factory have also been reorganized and replanned by Skynet.

SkyNet will provide optimization solutions for which lines have severely aged equipment, which processes have excessively long logistics distances, and which raw materials have been stockpiled for too long, and Jameson will immediately make the necessary modifications.

Upgrade old equipment that can be upgraded or modified as soon as possible.

If it's truly beyond repair, just scrap it and then buy a replacement on the market.

Next came the establishment of the media publicity department.

Garcia specifically selected a dozen or so employees with some media work experience from the factory, purchased some equipment, and formed a publicity department.

With the people and equipment in place, the next step is content creation.

The Skynet system played its role to the fullest here.

Although Murphy was concerned about MOSS and didn't allow Skynet to connect to the network, it doesn't mean that data can't be captured even without a network connection.

I designed a simple scrolling program and then bought a high-speed camera and placed it in front of the screen.

The program will automatically scroll and refresh the screen content, and then Skynet will use high-speed cameras to capture all key topics and public opinion trends related to Murphy Energy and Murphy.

Then, through a specific program, the data is manually downloaded and entered into Skynet's servers.

This is called physical grasping.

Then, SkyNet will generate vivid and engaging scripts or design short video scripts based on Murphy's previous speaking style and word choice habits.

Then, through thousands of manually controlled online accounts, they continuously distributed the content to the remaining social media platforms, video websites, and local forums.

At a time when most media outlets are reporting on planetary engine progress, new UEG policies, or other riots and famines, Mo's Energy's positive and hopeful content is like a bright spot in a gloomy world, quickly capturing the attention of many.

The name "Murphy," along with his image as a young, promising, philanthropic man who dedicated himself to saving the country through industry, began to spread from Houston to the entire state of Texas.

Even though Murphy never appeared online, his fan base began to grow exponentially.

Although most of them just give a like or leave a comment, the faith points they generate are very small, far less devout than those of the factory workers and the homeless people at the relief window.

But there are just too many of them!

Little by little, great things are achieved; grains of sand can be piled up to form a tower.

Murphy would use these faith points to continuously exchange for basic necessities such as rice and meat from the store, ensuring the supply to the factory and relief stations and maintaining the stability of the basic base.

Now, after deducting these necessary expenses, his daily net increase in faith points has steadily reached the 300-point mark.

Moreover, this number is slowly but steadily climbing as the publicity continues to spread and word-of-mouth spreads.

Even weapons production lines and vertical farms are progressing steadily.

To the east of the factory, within a fully completed vertical farm covering approximately 3,000 square meters,

The newly appointed head of the Department of Agriculture, Long Anyi, is showing Murphy a detailed introduction to the already well-established vertical farms.

Long An Yi is a Chinese man in his early forties, tall and thin, wearing glasses. He speaks slowly but clearly and logically.

He was a talent that Murphy acquired three months ago after redeeming and using the talent recruitment order again.

I previously worked at a vertical farm in California for eight years, rising from technician to deputy farm manager.

Later, the farm was nationalized by UEG, and the management underwent a major reshuffle. Naturally, he, a remnant of the old regime, was eliminated.

In America, unemployment is equivalent to bankruptcy.

Just when Long Anyi was about to become homeless, he happened to run into Mo's Energy, which was expanding its recruitment recently, and he was recruited as a result.

After confirming through Skynet's analysis that his technical level met the standards, Murphy gave him the position of deputy factory manager, in charge of the establishment and operation of the vertical farm.
