Chapter 284 Brainstorming! Agents correct the technology tree!
As soon as Song Zhaomei said this, many senior employees in the conference room showed some surprise expressions.

They had not expected that the world's largest companies would also consider the "unity of politics and religion" and the Pope's system.

Although it is not suitable for a global giant, it is not a bad idea.

On the surface, the system of the world's giant companies is an ordinary corporate system, but in fact, the current Leon and the former Arasaka Saburo of Arasaka Corporation are completely of the same status and power.

His level of power has already reached the top level of dictator and emperor. There are no senior staff or shareholders who can check and balance Li Ang and take away his power.

As the person who controls the highest personnel power in the giant enterprise in the world, Leon is the "God Emperor" of the giant enterprise. The so-called integration of politics and religion is at most just a matter of adding another title.

There is no difficulty in this.

What's more, the legendary experiences and stories that happened to Li Ang could be easily packaged and marketed as "Emperor of the Universe".

Back then, the historians of the early Western Han Dynasty racked their brains to arrange a fantastic birth story for Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang, and finally came up with the story that Liu Bang's mother was fucked by a dragon.

The record of Liu's father being a green-headed turtle with tears in his eyes is such an outrageous thing, but it can be used as material to prove the legitimacy of the regime.

As the weapon king of Little Chinatown, Leon has built an Infinity-class aircraft carrier through self-research and tinkering in a few years, and opened the star gate to play the expedition of the heavens. This should be easy to understand and reasonable!
"Yes, I agree with Song Zhaomei's idea."

At this time, Ott Cunningham stood up first and affirmed Song Zhaomei's point of view, and then made his own supplement around the issue of technological reform.

"However, we also want to bring some technological changes to the humans in the Dune universe."

"Their interstellar civilization system is all based on substances such as spices. This is not a reasonable technological system and needs to be changed!"

Ever since the human civilization in the Dune universe was stabbed in the back by AI and almost caused the destruction of the country and the race, the humans here have completely given up on the technological research and development of artificial intelligence.

However, interstellar colonization activities cannot be separated from a large amount of calculations and route planning, so these necessary tasks are transferred to the navigators trained by spices.

It can be said that today's Dune Space Route was established by thousands of navigators.

Once the spices are gone, these navigators will slowly lose their computing abilities and degenerate into ordinary humans again.

By then, the interstellar routes in the Dune universe will be paralyzed and fall into a state of shutdown.

The huge Galactic Empire will also fall apart and lose its close connection. What awaits mankind is to secede and fight on their own.

Since the world giant wants to integrate the Dune universe, it is necessary to change the opponent's misplaced technology tree.

Of course, this is just the surface reason.

More importantly, once the scientific research department of a world giant gets involved in the technological transformation mission of the Dune universe, it can also give priority to drawing talent resources to its own department.

Over the years, the Development Department has continuously integrated the universe and made various contributions, resulting in a large amount of talent resources leaning towards the Development Department.

In the long run, this is bound to lead to a shrinkage of talent in other departments, making it even more difficult to make contributions.

Although Li Ang can use his power to transfer personnel to change and reshape the high-level structure at any time, a person's "background" is always important.

Ingredients are things that often remain for a lifetime and are not so easy to remove completely.

Therefore, the best way to deal with this is to balance the talent absorption of each department as much as possible.

The Research Department needs more talented people who have no influence from other departments and have a good pedigree.

And this is also Li Ang's arrangement!
However, it is not easy to change the Dune universe technology tree, which requires the full cooperation of all departments.

After all, the impact of this incident is no less than changing the ancestral laws of the feudal dynasty.

The reason why many seemingly outrageous and inefficient behaviors continue to exist is because they have formed long-term path dependence. The strong inertia cannot be changed overnight.

What's more, in the eyes of humans in the Dune universe, AI is the source of disaster that leads to the destruction of species, and anyone who dares to touch it will not have a good ending.

It can be said that the use of AI artificial intelligence is equivalent to denying the significance of the holy war for the humans of Dune and denying everything that the savior Butler has done!
This is the foundation of the Galactic Empire. If the giant corporation wants to subvert the cognition of Dune humans, it must destroy it before it can be rebuilt.

Although it is very difficult to accomplish this, we have to do it no matter how difficult it is.

After all, using spices to cause genetic mutations and create a bunch of navigators that are neither human nor ghost is ultimately a low-level unorthodox method.

Judging from the technology tree that Dune humans have now lit up, this is the upper limit of humanity.

He can neither attain enlightenment and ascend to transcend dimensions, nor can he understand the mysteries of the universe and control the laws of physics.

The world's giant companies come here to use technology to alleviate poverty and restore order.

"Manager Otto is right, but I think we shouldn't do this ourselves. We will face a lot of resistance and it will be easy to make mistakes."

The executive who took over the conversation was Margaret, the new head of the Joint Intelligence Bureau. She continued to make additional comments based on the ideas proposed by Otto and Song Zhaomei:
"We should first find a suitable agent in the Dune universe and have them do these things, support the boss in becoming the Divine Emperor, and change the technological direction of Dune."

"More importantly, he must be 100% loyal to the leadership of the Universal Corporation!"

Since joining the global giant, Margaret has been reading and checking a lot, learning about Leon's history and how he manipulates and handles various events.

When she learned that Li Ang, the CEO of a giant company, had hardly ever made any mistakes and that every issue could be resolved with the highest efficiency, she was completely impressed by this visionary boss.

From Leon's work style and thinking, the tactic that Margaret likes the most and studies the most in depth is "taking him in as a dog".

"Looking for an agent?"

Hearing this, the employees nodded thoughtfully. This was a good idea, but who was the right agent to choose?

Moreover, when choosing the agent to support, should we choose a small family that is easier to control, or a large family that needs to be won over for cooperation?

These are all issues that need to be considered.

At this time, Margaret smiled and said that since she wanted to support an agent, she must of course choose a large and powerful family so that she could suppress other small families.

As for whether the other party will be convinced...that is not up to them!

"Everyone, you already know which family is the most suitable candidate."

As soon as Margaret finished speaking, everyone thought of the same name at the same time, that is the Atreides Family!

Most of the top executives of the world's largest companies already know about the human clan forces in the Dune universe.

According to the original plot line, the Atreides family will be arranged by the ill-intentioned Emperor Saddam to the spice-producing planet Arrakis.

On the surface, this personnel transfer arrangement was Emperor Saddam's favor to Atreides, giving their entire family a mountain of gold.

But in reality, the planet Arrakis is full of desert, and there is nowhere to escape.

There were neither decent large-scale military defense fortresses nor sufficient communication equipment to quickly contact the large forces on Atreides' home planet for rescue.

It can be said that this is the place of execution, the "Falling Phoenix Slope" of the Atreides Family, and the place carefully selected by the Harkonnen Family and the royal family to kill and silence people!
And sure enough, when the Harkonnen family attacked the Atreides family, the whole process went extremely smoothly.

It was a pity that the Harkonnen family did not act ruthlessly or quickly enough, allowing Paul and his mother, Lady Jessica, to take the opportunity to escape to the depths of the sand dunes in a flapping-wing plane, and thus luckily managed to save their lives.

If the Cosmos Corporation were to choose a suitable agent in the Dune universe, the best choice would be the Atreides family.

This is not only because Atreides is about to be targeted by the royal family and needs external help, but also because the prestige and ability of this family are higher than those of other families.

As the leading family of the Dune clan, Atreides is definitely the undisputed leader, second only to the Colino royal family.

If the Atreides family can be taken down, most of the other powerful families will also cooperate with the integration mission of the world's giant companies.

Like other aristocratic families, either they are too weak to win the support of the people, or they are bad guys like the Harkonnen family, who are full of evil intentions.

Although humans in the Dune universe have entered the interstellar age, their political system is still a feudal society, so these landlords and wealthy people are more capable of exploiting the people than anyone else.

All the major families headed by the Corino Royal Family are not human beings. Only the Atreides Family treats their people like human beings, so they have a high reputation in the Galactic Empire.

Regardless of whether it is a political show or not, even if the Atreides family is pretending to be gentlemen, it is still much better than the real villains who eat people without leaving any bones.

In short, only a powerful family like Atreides can facilitate the Universal Corporation to carry out subsequent work tasks. "Well, the next action is decided!"

After summarizing the proposals of the senior executives, Li De also formally announced the next deployment plan.

As the person who made the final decision, Li Ang just watched the show the whole time, just like a player who had turned on the one-click hosting mode, silently watching the NPCs below complete the mopping-up mission on their own.

Li Ang was quite satisfied with the results of this high-level meeting.

After brainstorming, this group of people basically said out all the points he thought of.

This shows that after the first five integrated actions, the global giant enterprise has established a mature and complete system for external expansion.

Unless he encounters an extremely difficult copy of the universe, under normal circumstances, Li Ang can be a leisurely and hands-off boss.

Just wait for your subordinates to report the situation.

This time, the Dune Universe is a test for the top executives and departments of giant companies to see if they can successfully earn themselves the title of "God Emperor".

……

005 "Dune" universe, the home planet of the Atreides family, the planet Caladan!
In a high-rise building in the capital of Caladan, which is dotted with medieval palaces, Leto Atreides, the patriarch of the Atreides family, was listening quietly to a report from a Mentat.

"My Lord Duke, under your proper governance, all the colonies and production areas of the Atreides family have enjoyed good weather and good governance."

After flattering him habitually, Mentat changed the subject and said in a deep voice:

"But through my observations over the past few days, I've discovered that the Colino Royal Family and the Harkonnen Family are plotting something against us!"

"I think we should make plans in advance in case of emergency."

This Mentat was called Duffy Hawat, and he was the assassination master and military advisor of the Atreides family.

As Leto's trusted backbone, Hawat has made many contributions to the Atreides family.

During this period, based on a series of personnel transfers, trade exchanges, and policy changes in the Colino royal family, he deduced that Harkonnen and the royal family were up to no good!
But Hawat couldn't fully figure out for the time being what measures the other party would take against the Atreides family.

Upon hearing this sudden warning, Duke Leto simply smiled indifferently. As the leader of a powerful family in Dune, he had experienced too many political upheavals.

He has plenty of experience in dealing with conspiracy attacks like this one.

Especially the Atreides. Under Leto's governance, they began to rise step by step and gained the love and respect of countless forces. Leto knew better than anyone that the tallest tree in the forest would be destroyed by the wind.

He also expected that the Colino royal family would find ways to attack him.

Although the royal family and the Harkonnen family joining forces will pose a great threat to the Atreides family.

But trying to overthrow the Atreides family without any basis would also lead to other families opposing the royal family and Colino.

After all, other aristocratic families are not just for show. The Atreides family has done a lot of political benefits for them. If they develop well, they will be attacked and targeted.

Then, based on the principle of "the lips and the teeth are cold", they will also rise up and oppose the violent dictatorship of the Colino royal family.

Originally, the Colino royal family took the lion's share of the resources, which had already made many families unhappy. If the resources could be redistributed, they would certainly be happy about it.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, the Colino royal family would not easily act against the Atreides family.

They cannot afford the consequences of this rebellion.

In Leto Atreides's estimation, the most that the family would suffer in the next few years would be the Chamber of Commerce losing some money and some rebellion in the colonies.

It shouldn't be targeted too badly.

"Keep me informed of any new developments," Leto instructed Hawat.

It is impossible for Leto to say that he does not take the warning of sanctions seriously at all. As the head of the family, he has to be cautious and careful in everything.

"Yes! Your Excellency the Duke."

Hawat nodded and responded solemnly.

Just as the two were about to discuss other important matters, they heard a shrill alarm coming from outside.

Upon hearing the warning, Leto's face immediately darkened, because it was an alarm of enemy invasion. Their home planet Caladan was being targeted!

Then, the communication device in the room popped up, and the urgent voice of the frontline personnel came from the device:

"Reporting to His Excellency the Duke, we have detected a fleet outside the atmosphere of Caladan, rapidly approaching the ground."

"We have not been able to figure out the other party's background yet, and the Space Association has not responded to us yet. Do you want to know whether we should enter a full-scale emergency state?"

Faced with this sudden and unexpected change, Leto and Hawat subconsciously thought of sanctions against the Atreides family.

Could it be that the Colino Royal Family and the Harkonnen Family are moving so quickly...

As soon as they arrived, they sent out a fleet to forcibly attack the home planet of Atreides.

This is too arrogant!

Without time to think more carefully, Leto immediately gave orders to the personnel over there:
"Immediately enter a state of emergency, evacuate all civilians, mobilize all military forces, activate all warships, and activate ground shields."

"Master Hawat and I will be there soon!"

After he finished speaking, Leto did not forget to send a small flapping-wing aircraft to pick them up and leave.

"Yes! Your Excellency the Duke."

Not long after the communication conversation ended, a flapping-wing aircraft landed outside.

Leto and Hawat boarded the ornithopter one after another. After calming down, they continued to discuss the next response.

"My lord, the Colino royal family and the Harkonnen family have prepared many unknown means to target our development."

"But I think it's unlikely that they would launch a direct military war against us."

Hawat has a strong thinking ability. As the best among the Mentat, his deductions are always accurate.

"Kaladan is our territory. There is an army here that has been run by the Atreides family for generations. Attacking this planet by force will only cause them heavy losses."

"It is absolutely impossible for them to capture Karadan in such a short period of time. During this period, we can send out a request for assistance and ask other families to send out their troops."

"If we can prove that the Colino and Harkonnen families have joined forces to attack us, we can even turn the tables and force them to give up more political rights!"

In just a moment, Hawat thought of the decision that would best serve the interests of the Atreides family and analyzed the current situation in detail for Leto.

Duke Leto nodded with satisfaction, and his nervousness eased a little.

"If it wasn't the royal family and Harkonnen's army, then who else could it be."

Leto began to think.

Hawat shook his head and said, "We cannot determine the opponent's origins for the time being, but the planet of Caladan is indestructible. We are fighting at home, so please rest assured, sir!"

As a military advisor to House Atreides, Hawat was confident in the defensive capabilities of Caladan's military fortress.

Even if the Corino royal family and Harkonnen sent out all their troops, it would not be easy to defeat Atreides's army.

Take a thousand steps back.

If it is really the royal family and the Harkonnen family who jointly send an elite expeditionary force to attack, Hawat will definitely be confident enough to protect the Atreides family.

He even has the confidence to turn the tables and annihilate all these invading enemies on the planet Karadan!
