I control the AI ​​empire thanks to the geniuses in my group.

"William Charonner? That scoundrel who counterfeits in the gutter, going to accuse me in the holy Palace of Westminster?"

"Yes, he will turn around and accuse the mint of corruption and incompetence, and then put forward a set of anti-counterfeiting measures he made up to fool the members of parliament. He intends to use your face to whitewash himself into the savior of the British Empire."

"are you sure?"

"I have reliable sources," Su Zhou said seriously.

one second.

two seconds.

A twisted, even morbidly excited, sneer suddenly appeared on Newton's face.

If Newton had heard this news an hour earlier, the neurasthenic Newton would probably have smashed the ink bottle on the table in anger, then clutched his throbbing head and cursed the injustice of the world.

But it's different now.

The Newton of today is a chosen one who firmly believes that he bears the great mission of purifying Christianity!

A despicable man who prints counterfeit money not only defies the laws of the British Empire, but also attempts to obstruct the steps of God's appointed guardian to unravel the truth of the universe.

wishful thinking!

"Let him go to Parliament! Let him put on a show in front of those idiot members of Congress!"

Newton's voice suddenly rose: "I will investigate him thoroughly! I will search every filthy pub in London, find every woman he has slept with, and pry open the mouths of every scoundrel who has run errands for him!"

Seeing that the situation was not good, Su Zhou advised, "Mr. Newton, this can be done, but the most urgent task now is to deal with the hearing."

"The lawmakers may be stupid, but they have power."

Without Su Zhou saying anything more, the fervor on Newton's face gradually subsided.

He was, after all, Newton.

He may be emotionally charged, but his brain never truly shuts down.

The senator is stupid, but he needs a job at the mint now.

"You mean, we shouldn't alert them yet?"

Su Zhou nodded and said, "That's right. The congressmen will definitely raise questions at the hearing, so we need to immediately compile a list comparing all the mint's production reports, metal purity test records, and the number of coins minted with the national treasury's accounts for the past three years."

"The data should be detailed, the format should be clear, and it's best to make it into a chart that's easy to understand at a glance. If the councilors can't understand complicated things, we'll give them something simple and intuitive."

Newton frowned: "A diagram?"

"They can't understand dense data, so it's best to use graphics to represent it."

Su Zhou walked to his desk, picked up a quill pen, and quickly drew a simple bar chart on a blank sheet of paper.

The horizontal axis represents the year, the vertical axis represents the mintage, and the corresponding metal loss rate is marked next to it.

"Like this."

He pushed the paper over: "The human eye is naturally more sensitive to graphics than to text. By presenting the data in this format, the congressman can see at a glance that the mint's efficiency has not only not decreased, but has actually increased significantly since you took over."

Newton took the paper and stared at the diagram for several seconds.

"I've never seen this kind of diagram before."

"A little trick passed down from the East." Since the inventor of the data bar chart, Prieffer, hasn't even been born yet, Su Zhou can only pass the interpretation to Eastern wisdom.

Anyway, this thing is used most by Chinese people.

Nowadays, every office worker has to learn this skill. Some people stay up until 2 or 3 a.m. to do data statistics. One day, they will let AI do these things!

However, for now, he still has to teach Newton how to use his hand.

Newton did not press further; the intelligent man had clearly already grasped the beauty of this method.

I never expected that one of his group members would be so amazing!

Newton secretly admired him.

Su Zhou continued, "Next, Charona will definitely come up with his own anti-counterfeiting scheme. This scheme will sound impressive, but it will definitely not stand up to actual verification. His purpose is not to really improve the minting process, but rather..."

"To take the opportunity to enter the mint."

Newton coldly picked up the conversation: "To spy on our molds and embossing equipment."

Well, as expected of a top genius, his reaction speed is like he's cheating.

"Therefore, you need to prepare an experimental plan in advance that can disprove his design on the spot, leaving him no room for excuses."

Newton, seemingly lost in thought, asked, "Anything else?"

Su Zhou continued, "Charona is a very well-hidden person. His current public identity is a minting expert. You need to restart your investigation of him, but not now. Now, just do one thing to show the parliament that the mint doesn't need any outsiders interfering."

These three suggestions are actually just the first step in Su Zhou's plan.

Su Zhou knew that this was far from enough to fully help Newton capture the cunning Charona.

But he first needed to figure out what resources Newton could currently access, and the overall speed of the mint.

Late 17th-century London had no surveillance, no internet, and not even a police system in the modern sense.

Charonna was able to manipulate London's elite precisely because this cunning old fox had an intimate understanding of the social networks of the time.

If Su Zhou were to reveal his massive arrest plan now, not only would Newton find it unbelievable, but the entire administrative system of the Royal Mint would also collapse under the immense pressure of such an unprecedented execution.

This is like trying to run the latest and most complex program on a rusty computer; the result will inevitably be a crash.

Any experienced programmer or architect would never blindly deploy an extremely complex core algorithm on an unfamiliar server.

They will inevitably write a few simple scripts to run and figure out where the current system's limits are; this is called benchmark testing.

Su Zhou is doing the same thing now.

He had to prepare in advance to stir up a storm in London.

"I didn't expect you to think of so many things."

Newton squinted his slightly sunken eyes and looked the young man up and down again.

It's important to understand that because Newton dealt with dry numbers and obscure theology for so long, very few people could catch his eye. The number of people he considered to be intelligent was so great that the entire city of London combined wouldn't even be enough to fill a mahjong table.

He didn't expect that the newcomer in group 42 was so capable, able to quickly help him sort out what he needed to do.

I just don't know if it's true that Su Zhou said Charona would be asked to testify at a hearing.

It's quite a task to dig up all the old, messy accounts from the mint over the past three years and reorganize them into these novel charts.

Those guys in the factory who just coast along on their British Empire salaries would definitely curse his ancestors for eighteen generations in private.

If the parliament doesn't say a word in the end, he might solidify his reputation as a neurotic and paranoid maniac.

Can we trust Su Zhou's words?

Newton thought for a moment and realized that Su Zhou understood his flow numbers.

In Newton's haughty evaluation system, those who could master such advanced mathematical tools already had an IQ that surpassed 99 percent of ordinary people on the European continent.

A mind that understands numerology must have rigorous logic; it is impossible to fool him with baseless tabloid news.

Moreover, Su Zhou's theological views were very much to his liking.

In London, where the streets are full of orthodox Christians, someone who can see through the logical fallacy of the Trinity at a glance and still call him the chosen one is truly a kindred spirit!

Surprisingly, Newton found himself feeling inexplicably comfortable and at ease chatting with Su Zhou.

Looking back on most of his life, the people he encountered were either shameless scoundrels like Hook who always wanted to steal his credit, or a bunch of stupid politicians in parliament who couldn't even do multiplication and division.

Every conversation with others is accompanied by endless arguments and soaring blood pressure.

But Su Zhou is different.

Not only do I never argue with him, but when I'm feeling frustrated, I can also follow his train of thought and come up with a solution. This feeling is intoxicating.

Newton figured it out.

Even if we take a step back and assume the hearing news is false, and that Chalona chickened out and didn't testify in parliament, he still definitely won't lose out on this high-profile investigation!

He had only been in charge of the mint for a short time, and those old hands were always outwardly compliant but inwardly defiant, making a complete mess of the accounts in each department.

Only by thoroughly reviewing the important data from the past three years can he fully grasp the situation of the mint.

From now on, anyone who dares to tamper with purity or embezzle consumables will be caught on the spot with just a glance at the data.

Newton made up his mind and snorted: "If those useless people in the mint who are paid royal salaries had half your brains, I wouldn't be suffering from headaches from being disgusted by a sewer rat every day."

The scientific giant, now over fifty, suddenly turned around and put on a deep red velvet coat.

"To hell with the headache, let's get to work tonight. Sue, you teach me how to draw that oriental painting!"
