Chapter 466 The Tok Group's Upgrade from Slingshot to Cannon

As the network issues were resolved, the shipping issues were also resolved.

Oasis, a Trafigura independent sector.

More than a thousand people gathered together for a coordination meeting.

These more than a thousand people are all people subject to adjustment, and they are special people subject to adjustment.

Their thoughts moved very quickly; the meeting to assign tasks and responsibilities to everyone was over in just 5 minutes.

As soon as the meeting ended, young John tried to run away, but old John quickly grabbed him.

John pouted and said, "It's so boring that our Tok Group sector doesn't allow the use of Oasis's various game items."

Old John raised an eyebrow and said, "Isn't this a good thing? Otherwise, how could I keep you in check? How much interest do you still have? Don't keep wasting money! Save some more!"

"Okay, okay, I see. We won't have to use ships anymore. Air freight is faster and we can earn more. It's no big deal if I spend a little more. Alright, alright, I'm off. I have to deliver goods in an hour."

Old John sighed and his consciousness left the oasis.

When he opened his eyes again, his consciousness was inside his altered human body.

He used various cameras and sensors to experience his new body.

Previously, his youngest son contracted AIDS, a severe and incurable drug-resistant strain. Fortunately, Aurora's technology appeared in time, allowing him to transform his son, John, into a modifier, and he himself became a modifier as well.

Of course, as shareholders of the Tok Group, they didn't create any ordinary humanoid bodies, nor did they create any strange or unusual ones.

They promptly put the wet brain on the ship, and old John was very happy. He had worked for Trafigura for many years and had a genuine passion for the freight industry; he simply loved shipping goods all over the world.

Now he has become the ship, and he is very happy. He doesn't need sailors to help him; he controls all the ship's machinery, including 20 industrial robots of various kinds.

Moreover, life is not boring; the Starlink network, which spans the globe, ensures that he can visit the Oasis anytime.

Various movies and TV series, as well as delicious food, made him feel that working on a ship was a very comfortable job.

The only thing in his life that gave him a bit of a headache was his son, John.

Little John was much lazier than him. Although they both worked on ships, Little John could hardly save any money. The basic enjoyment in Oasis couldn't satisfy him. He often spent money to buy game equipment and even tipped various Oasis streamers. He indulged in all four of his hobbies: eating, drinking, gambling, and whoring.

In John's words, eating, drinking, gambling, and whoring are all too cheap in the Oasis; not doing them would be a loss.

This caused old John to constantly worry that his son might miscalculate the money and not have enough to pay the previous interest.

He certainly didn't want his son to sleep in a cold, sterile brainwashing center. Fortunately, he was quite wealthy and wouldn't have to worry about these issues in the short term.

However, he felt that his previous idea of ​​getting a better ship was unlikely to be realized.

Just then, Aurora made its move.

Aurora proactively approached Trafigura Group and signed a one-to-one transfer agreement with each of Trafigura Group's shareholders.

They exchanged a new type of aircraft for half of their shares in the Trafigura Group.

No one who can become a captain is a fool, and no one clings to their small shareholding; they all chose to exchange it.

Then, they obtained the aircraft that the Aurora crew called the Fathead Fish.

Strictly speaking, the bighead carp can be considered an airship, as it can fly directly to an altitude of ten kilometers and then contact countless accompanying fish fry.

Each bighead carp is initially provided with only one fry; any additional fry will need to be purchased from Aurora.

The fish fry have a small helium chamber on top as an energy-saving support device, and a large black velvet energy storage chamber.

The central section uses an open frame, which facilitates the loading and unloading of goods by small black velvet push robots.

At the bottom, dozens of black velvet propellers are arranged in a vector pattern.

The fish fry are 6 meters long and 2 meters wide, with a carrying capacity of up to 5 tons, a cruising altitude of 5 kilometers, and a top speed of 500 kilometers per hour. However, for cargo safety, Aurora recommends 150 km/h, as this speed already surpasses traditional shipping.

Moreover, they are no longer confined to oceans and rivers; they no longer need ports, as they can transport goods directly inland via straight routes.

Old John, feeling his new body, couldn't wait to go out and sell his goods.

He wanted to make money as soon as possible. The bighead carp, being a high-altitude platform, could support up to five fish fry at a time. He wanted to spend money to find Aurora as soon as possible to collect all five fish fry.

In Samarayuka, an elderly man with gray hair anxiously looked up at the sky, occasionally taking out his phone to check the time.

Garcia, standing nearby, laughed and said, "Eulalio, can you calm down a bit? There are still more than ten minutes left. Come on, have some Coke."

Eulario was somewhat dissatisfied with Garcia's laxity, but Garcia was now the town's biggest hero, the most promising young man who had successfully brought the aurora to the town and made the entire town rich.

He didn't argue, but instead picked up the Coke Garcia handed him, took a sip, and the instant the cold Coke went down his throat, the tangy and bubbly sensation made Eulario instantly forget all his troubles.

He laughed and said to Garcia, "After we die, the aurora will really take responsibility, right? I heard that only countries like the United States, Singapore, and South Korea have governments that pay for the aurora to spread and grant immortality."

I don't expect to be able to enjoy life in the Oasis forever. In America, don't you sleep for a year and then wake up for a year?

I can sleep for five years and wake up for one year. I saw on the forum that some people in the US are worried about the Aurora Center extracting some kind of creativity from the brains of people with wet brains because of the wet brain issue that arose during the war in Europe. They're just being ridiculous.

"It's just using my brain to do some calculations and stuff, what's the big deal? Americans are so hard to please. If this were in Mexico, countless people would want to do it but wouldn't even have the opportunity."

Garcia pointed to the sign at the factory entrance and said, "How many times have I told you? From now on, we can't be considered Mexican anymore! We belong to the Aurora! The Aurora has its own territory, and who knows, we might even go to the moon and Mars someday. Besides, you're in great health, why are you thinking about immortality?"

Eulario pointed to the Coke in his hand and said, "Didn't everyone say that drinking Coke was unhealthy? But we Mexicans are too poor and the water quality is bad, so we drink Coke like water, which makes our health even worse."

But our town has improved now. The tap water is fine, and every household has installed a filter.

But I still can't give up cola. I used to drink only one or two liters a day, but now that I have money, I'm drinking almost three liters a day. I guess I don't think I'll live much longer.

Garcia waved his hand dismissively: "Don't worry, I said I'd take responsibility, and I definitely will. Drink as much as you want."

Mexico suffers from poor infrastructure and very bad tap water quality; the coverage of water purification facilities is far less than that of Coca-Cola's distribution network.

In Mexico, bottled water is more expensive than Coca-Cola, which has led to a huge Coca-Cola addiction among Mexicans, with an average person drinking 5 milliliters of Coca-Cola per day.

In arid and water-scarce places like Samaljuka, the average person can get two liters.

This makes Mexico one of the countries with the highest incidence of diabetes in the world, and diabetes is also one of the leading causes of death in Mexico.

But now it's all good, since I won't die, I can drink as much as I want!

While they were talking, the two of them downed another bottle of cola!

After a while, a faint buzzing sound came from the sky.

Garcia and Euralia looked up and saw a gigantic airship slowly descending, stopping a few dozen meters above the ground.

Several small robots flew down, scanned the area as if identifying something, and then flew to Garcia's side.

"You're Garcia, the manager of the Samalyuca refinery, right?"

Garcia quickly nodded: "It's me, it's me. This is Mayor Eulario of Samareyuka. See those jars? We've already filled them and coded them."

"Okay, then I'll ship it directly. I'll probably be coming to this route often in the future."

"Okay, okay, we can refine about 5 tons every two months now, and that may increase later, depending on the company's arrangements."

"Okay, okay."

Dozens of small robots began to lift cans of velvet oil onto the central delivery area of ​​the airship, arrange them, and fasten the buckles.

These goods weren't complicated, and the machines wouldn't malfunction, but Old John still kept a close eye on what was happening on the camera.

He now uses velvet oil on his bighead carp and fry, and he knows how potent it is.

With the support of the wet component, his thinking was very fast, and the high school and college knowledge that he had almost forgotten became clearer. He just did a few calculations and his hands were already shaking a little.

Although he now has no hands.

5 tons of crude oil is roughly equivalent to 155 million tons of TNT, or, using the commonly used unit of measurement, the Hiroshima atomic bomb, it's equivalent to a hundred of them.

Although Aurora had previously told them that velvet oil is produced by enzymatic hydrolysis after harvesting mature fungal carpets, and that it is a very stable, ultra-high-energy substance that is absolutely safe and will not explode.

But old John was still a little apprehensive. After fussing for more than half an hour and loading the cargo, he slowly set sail.

He carefully examined the nearby weather radar map, then connected to Starlink to request route weather support before finally slowly flying towards the United States.

He checked his transport insurance as he flew, and although he had looked at it many times, he still couldn't help but take it out to look at it from time to time.

Aurora provided him with a spot in the dungeon program, and they maintained excellent communication with Starlink while flying in the air, updating their consciousness every half hour.

This made old John feel much better; even if it exploded, he wouldn't die.

That day, more than a thousand people from the Trafigura Group piloted the Aurora airships to begin making up for the lack of maritime transport.

The total carrying capacity of the world's fleet is 24 billion deadweight tons, but airships have a speed advantage. In addition, they are all operated by human and machine personnel, and their overall turnover is more than five times faster than that of the fleet.

These two thousand 5-ton airships directly stabilized the cargo transportation crisis in human society.

According to Aurora's estimates, another 6 airships of the same size would be needed to completely make up for the shipping shortfall.

Just when everything seemed to be going well, the Wet Clan struck again.

They clearly did not want to see human society gradually recover, and after lying low for a few days, they used their classic tactics.
