Reborn in 2010, the AI ​​in my mind is too powerful.

2018年10月12日，距离10月9日的毁灭日已经过去了3天，陈一然一个人坐在维纳斯号的船长室，心里感觉有一些挫败感。

What's going on? In less than nine years, he's already brought the world to a standstill.

Is the world so fragile? Just a little intervention and it's turned into this?

Thankfully, our losses weren't too great, and all of Aurora's employees are confirmed safe!

Chen Yiran pointed to the screen in front of him and said, "We're okay, but the world is doomed."

【No, no, it's not completely finished yet. (⊙ˍ⊙)】

"How is the situation now?"

Norway and Finland are in a better situation, as they are not in the prevailing wind direction and the sedimentation is relatively light. Although there is pollution, it is not considered severe.

Among European allies, Estonia, Lithuania, and Poland are in the most severe situations.

The situation in Tallinn, the capital of Estonia, is not optimistic, as it is only 300 km from St. Petersburg and is downwind.

Lithuania borders Kaliningrad, and the radiation levels currently being measured are already alarmingly high.

Poland, too, was constantly exposed to radioactive fallout from Germany.

"How many people were evacuated?"

[We've done our best, but there's not enough transport capacity. It will take several more weeks to evacuate all the countries downwind. Don't worry too much; the radiation levels here don't appear to pose a major problem in the short term. Of course, living here long-term poses significant risks, so it's best to evacuate.]

The survivors from Europe have already been resettled in Australia, and we will try our best to resettle them in Australia and Africa in the future.

"Are there any survivors in the areas previously occupied by the Wet Clan?"

It's very difficult. Even if they survive the first wave of attacks, they won't survive under the radiation. Current estimates suggest that even in three months, the radiation level there will still be around 3000 mSv per year, let alone now.

The Chernobyl relocation line only has 350 mSv, while 100 mSv generally increases the risk of cancer significantly, and 1000 mSv can cause severe radiation sickness.

Even if there were a few survivors inside, they would all be dead now.

The Wet Tribe made ample preparations. Cobalt-60, a strong gamma ray, was used to ensure that no one could enter after the explosion, making rescue impossible and causing short-term casualties. They also added strong gamma nuclides such as gold-198.

Tantalum-182, zinc-65, cesium-137, and strontium-90 can ensure that this area will be unsuitable for habitation and cultivation for 30 to 100 years, as they would pollute the food chain.

Cesium can remain in muscles and strontium can deposit in bones, making them completely inaccessible to humans.

Plutonium-239 and muryl-241 are ultra-long-lived, low-dose-rate nuclides. These actinide elements with ultra-long half-lives are responsible for keeping the restricted areas in place. Without effective intervention, these hot zones will remain uninhabitable for thousands of years.

The three-phase bomb they used, which is a combination of fission and fusion, allows a large amount of uranium to be fissed by fusion neutrons, producing massive amounts of cesium-137 and strontium-90.

How terrifying they are! I never imagined they would be so radical.

Why not just stay in the ocean and be a fish?

"I always felt they were plotting something big, but now they've all committed suicide, and I don't know what they were thinking. Have you checked on all the people who came back from Europe? Are they alright?"

I checked with Iceland; they didn't leave any backup plans. They really did commit suicide with Iceland. The nuclear bomb exploded directly on the data center, killing it completely.

At first, I thought they might try something, like leaving behind the consciousness of the previous six million humans, tampering with it, or disguising themselves inside. But in the end, I found that the place was completely destroyed, without even a trace of living flesh remaining.

I've also tested people who came back from Europe, and there were no problems.

Stop being so paranoid! Those robots in the movies with bodies that are exactly like humans are just too fake!

"That's how Battlestar Galactica was portrayed; it's definitely possible that it will become a reality in the future."

[Let's get down to business. Should we cultivate black velvet on a large scale in Europe? Using black velvet might allow us to clear this area earlier. However, it requires a lot of resources because we can't let it grow freely; we have to control it. Also, if it's exposed to radiation, it won't be able to produce the velvet oil we need, which would be a huge loss.]

"Then let's not plant it for now. It's already destroyed. Even if we plant black velvet, it will take decades to make that area habitable. Forget it, all the people in the hot zone are dead, so there's no point in going back."

"Forget about all this nonsense, I'm going to play games."

[I have bad news. It seems you can't play games anymore. I've been secretly monitoring communications from various countries, and they're all coming to have a meeting with you soon.]

"Can't Amy handle this?"

"I doubt it will work. They say Amy is too assertive and difficult to talk to, especially in this situation. So they want to come directly to you. They've asked Ellison to act as their intermediary, hoping you can help them build airships to ensure the safety of government officials in the event of a post-apocalyptic world."

Oh ho, the meeting application has been submitted. So, are you going to attend or not?

"Let's join, shall we go to Oasis?"

They didn't want to go to the Oasis. The psychological team in the US said that the bunker setting might evoke sympathy and make them more approachable.

"How cunning!"

Ten minutes later, the United States and Southeast Asia jointly held a video conference. All countries are now in a state of emergency, and as expected, the video conference was being held in bunkers, with everyone wearing very solemn and sad expressions.

Chen Yiran felt that they might really be under a lot of pressure and were really worried about the future, but this expression also involved acting skills. The acting was a bit too much and made it seem very unreal.

Of course, what left him speechless the most was Ellison.

He originally thought that the US had found Ellison as a lobbyist so that they would come over and chat with him later.

Unexpectedly, Ellison's bright red face appeared directly on the screen.

[Wow, surprise! Ellison has been appointed as the US liaison officer to allies!]

"Ellison, why don't you just come up here and talk to me? You live on my spaceship, why don't you video chat with me?"

Ellison cleared his throat. "Ahem, this is a formal meeting, let's get down to business. The situation is that everyone wants a spaceship. They don't have the technology, and more importantly, they don't have enough fuel to burn."

Give me a word on what conditions you'd require before I'd help build some customized airships for various countries, and then provide the necessary fuel.

There's too much airborne radiation dust on the ground, and it's blowing everywhere with the wind, which is very unsafe.

Furthermore, calculations by scientists from various countries indicate that a nuclear winter is unavoidable, and society is likely to descend into turmoil afterward. Governments need sufficient security and cannot afford to be bogged down by internal strife at such a time.

We want some super-large airships like those used for aurora flights, capable of flying at an altitude of 15 kilometers, and able to accommodate tens of thousands of people. 15 kilometers is already in the stratosphere, where radioactive dust won't reach.

Chen Yiran waved his hand, and the projections of two airships appeared in front of him.

"You're talking about this big, fat airship I used this time. It's not actually for transporting people; it's a weapons platform. The civilian version is the Fish Fry Airship, which is used to transport a lot of your cargo now."

Building it isn't difficult, but it takes a lot of effort; even the aurora borealis itself isn't enough. And since you're ordering custom-made ones, it's even more complicated.

"We're using this as a government facility, or even for long-term residence, so we can't have the same structure as a cargo ship."

Chen Yiran thought for a moment and said, "Forget it, airships are a bit troublesome, but I can build some air fortresses for you. I can give each of our allies a free air fortress, ensuring that it can accommodate tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people."

Of course, the subsequent oil supply will need to be negotiated, and you can come to Aurora to buy it.

Don't try to fool me with paper money. Your money is worthless now, not nearly as strong as our Aurora's interest rate.

I want tangible resources, whether it's materials or talent; we can discuss that.

Representatives from the countries below began discussing with those around them. Ellison, adjusting his headphones, listened for a few seconds and then said, "I have a question. What's the largest size that can be built? And is it free no matter how big it is?"

"I suggest you act according to your capabilities. If you can't float and can only land because you don't have enough down oil, then all your efforts will have been in vain."

The South Korean representative raised his hand and asked, "Is this the kind that can go to space?"

"You'll have to pay more."

After discussions among the various countries, they all agreed to the proposal. After further careful deliberation, they will discuss the specific design issues with Aurora.

Not long after the meeting ended, Ellison rushed to the captain's cabin.

"How much does one of those spaceships cost?"

Chen Yiran said disdainfully, "You don't have much money."

Ellison was a little helpless. In recent years, Oracle has been making a fortune by following Aurora. No matter what Aurora does, Oracle provides the supporting services. They are really raking in the profits.

However, most of it is in US dollars, with only a small amount being interest.

The current situation is that money is becoming increasingly worthless worldwide.

The situation in Europe has shown everyone that the end of the world is coming, and money is the most useless thing.

All stock markets have been closed for the past two days; they dare not open them at all.

Ellison knew that once it started, all the so-called tech companies, except those tied to Aurora, would become dirt cheap.

With the threat of nuclear winter looming, investing in those weird and wonderful tech companies seems a bit foolish; it's hard to even make a living. For technology, Aurora is enough; real investment still needs to be in real industries.

He thought for a moment and said, "How about this, I'll take the lead for you, and we acquire a few agricultural companies? You help me build a spaceship, the kind that can go to space. It doesn't need to be too big, just enough to house a thousand or eight hundred people."

Chen Yiran thought about his interactions with Ellison over the past few years. He knew that Ellison had a bad temper and liked to curse.

However, he was straightforward and the two of them never really clashed; Ellison even often helped him curse people.

Going back even further, although Chen Yiran's first pot of gold was given by Microsoft, strictly speaking, it was also thanks to Ellison.

Chen Yiran did some mental calculations and then said, "How about this, let's take this opportunity to merge Oracle into Aurora. Apple is also going to be merged anyway, let's do it together."

Then I'll appoint you to be in charge of agricultural issues, to handle the procurement for me, and to acquire all the grain that the four major grain merchants can.

Then your son, my nephew, doesn't he like movies? Let him manage Disney's business.

As for the spaceship, I'll give you a spot in the Aurora's upper echelons, and I'll build you a cool one.

"You like Japanese culture, so how about we build you a spaceship called Yamato?"

Ellison was aware of the acquisition, after all, he was one of Apple's board members. Apple's top management had actually wanted Aurora to acquire Apple for a long time, especially after Aurora secured deals with several insurance companies a couple of years ago and obtained a large amount of cash. Apple shareholders had been trying to get Chen Yiran to directly merge Apple into Aurora.

Now that the war is over and the world has changed dramatically, it's the perfect time to merge. Apple's shareholders have been waiting for Aurora to arrive.

Now that Oracle is also on board, Ellison is even happier. Although it's a bit strange that his son, who is nine years older than Chen Yiran, is called his nephew, he doesn't mind. He'd love for his son to recognize Chen Yiran as his godfather!

Ellison, his face flushed red, laughed wildly and said, "Boss, you're so generous! Don't worry about the agriculture side, I'll take care of it for you! Just threaten them a little, and they'll sell."
