Chapter 203: Future Projects
After Silas left the conference room, he made his way to the warehouse. It was time to start taking the world by storm.
He has previously made plans on releasing the Pod and launching the VR game created by Apollo. But due to a lot of things, he hasn't had the time for see those plans through but he decided to putting them into motions now.
Silas intends to use the Pod for three different things which are gaming, research and training—mostly military training.
The first one has already been explained, the last doesn't need explanation as it's self-explanatory. While the details of the second can be guess by just looking at it.
The usage of the Pod for research is a way to have researchers in the real world to visit the simulated research lab world and gain as much knowledge as they can.
Just as Silas said, he doesn't want to fully depend on AI and stuffs. He still want to have people around him.
As someone who is still trying his best as socializing, he feels it would do him more good to surround himself with people rather than isolated himself from them.
It isn't anything complex for the researchers to visit the simulated world as all that would be needed is for the Pod to have the Domain function.
This is the same with the military training as the Domain function is the only thing that can help Silas to achieve what he wants.
Silas also remembered what Luna said about building an even better quantum computer to increase her computation power.
He immediately decided to do that but he suddenly thought of a very critical issue he's going to have in the future. Actually, not in the future as he would start having it very soon due to the workload on the quantum computer that are going to be increasing very soon and that is the issue of power—electricty.
As it stands, a massive amount of electricity is consumed by AGIs and the quantum computer. Something that has been brought to Silas' attention before and he had already thought about how to fix it.
This is the reason why he was delighted when he got the fusion power knowledge from the system. It is also one of the reasons why it's among the knowledge he transferred to his clone in the simulated research lab world.
"Luna, what's the progress on the nuclear fusion research?" Silas asked Luna who was seated beside him in the car.
{Just I said before, research on every knowledge you made available to the simulated research world AIs have already been completed.}
"What about on how to create it in the real world?"
{That has also been taken care of.}
Silas nodded in satisfaction when he heard this, "Good. Then I can start as soon as possible but how do I go about creating it in the real world? Do I need to employ some manpower or something?"
He was thinking of if he should get some professional and expert hands for the creation of the fusion plant in the real world.
It's no doubt that the creation of a fusion plant is something extremely complex and difficult. It isn't something that can be done by winging it or relying on a stroke of luck. Many protocols must be followed simultaneously, and the creation process must be carried out stringently
Well, that is for regular people. On the spot, Silas has already thought of a solution—AI.
Even though he doesn't want to admit it, he knew that he only way he won't have to start looking for experts and professionals around the world is by creating an AI or AGI that can handles everything. It's actually disheartening but Silas knew that this is the bitter truth.
If a fusion power plant is to be created, the first thing that has to be done is the conceptual design and research, something that the AIs in the simulated research world has taken care of.
The second is the engineering and reactor design which is the to design the physical structure of the reactor, to ensure that everything works perfectly. This can also be taken care of by an AI instead of looking for a mechanical and electrical engineer or a materials scientists.

Even the processes that are even more complex can be handled by an AI. The easiest parts are the construction and infrastructure, followed by the control and monitoring systems.
There's no argument that the last two can only be perfectly handled by an AI.
Silas thought about this and decided to create an AGI that will be in charge of construction works. Not just the fusion power plant construction work but also other construction works in the future.
Silas doesn't plan for the AGI to completely take over the job of the construction workers. His reason for creating it is because he wants it to be an assistant to them.
With the way he sees things, he knew that there are some projects—very massive projects that will be undertaken in the future and he knew that there's no way the construction workers who are ordinary humans can do it themselves. He also knew that it's impossible for AI to complete them on its own.
One might think otherwise but Silas has a reason why he knew that AI or humans can't do it alone.
After making the decision, Silas immediately brought up an IDE interface he created and started typing in the codes for the new AGI.
As he typed in the codes, Silas remembered the "request" he made to Lorckheed Martin Corporation.
"Luna, has Lorckheed given a response to my request?"
{No. The last time I checked, they were in a meeting but it yielded nothing and they had to adjourn it. Should I pressure them?} Luna asked, immediately making preparation to give the company a little tease.
Silas smiled and shook his head when he heard this.
"Don't pressure them. It's not like the weapons are needed anyway. The only thing we might actually need from the them is designs and some very little information, and we have our means of getting those without having to ask."
{Yes, we do.}
Silas decided not to bother himself with other things and continued his coding. He wants to complete the coding of the new AGI as soon as possible.
If it was before his evolution metamorphosis, he would had been done with it in a couple of minutes but now, it would take him a couple of hours before he's done with the codes.
Some couple minutes later, Silas' convoy stopped outside the warehouse.
{Master, we've arrived at the warehouse,} Luna said, informing the busy Silas of their arrival.
Silas nodded and paused what he was doing. He looked at the car door being held open by one of the guards and stepped out the car.
Silas couldn't help but smile as he stepped out of the car. He had been limiting himself too much before, not wanting to spend and this had made him not to realize what he had been missing all this while.
The truth is that Silas just want to enjoy his money and enjoy his time but here he is.
"Maybe I can enjoy it later in the future but I have to work towards it."
