In Fuuto: Starting as a Kamen Rider 01

Page 14

Representative Takashima's voice was filled with anticipation and undeniable confidence.

"It will become a new symbol of the technological strength and economic revitalization of Fengdu, a beacon illuminating the future."

"According to our vision, it will integrate the city's most advanced energy allocation system to maximize energy efficiency."

"It will have a revolutionary three-dimensional intelligent transportation hub, which will completely improve the increasingly congested traffic situation in Fengdu."

"It will have a built-in next-generation information network hub covering the entire city, providing ubiquitous high-speed data services."

"More importantly, it will be uniformly scheduled and optimized by an unprecedented artificial intelligence city management system."

She paused slightly as she spoke, her gaze once again fixed on Su Chen.

"And looking at the entire Fengdu, no, perhaps the entire country, the only company with the capability, technology, and vision to support such a massive and complex system is your Zero One Technology, President."

These words are both a compliment and an undeniable fact.

In Representative Takashima's eyes, the flames of ambition and the brilliance of ideals intertwine and shine, creating a unique charm.

"I sincerely hope that Zero One Technology can become the core technology and leader of this epoch-making project."

"In return, the parliament will do everything in its power to provide you with a substantial financial subsidy to support the initial construction and technological development of the project."

She emphasized the word "amazing," clearly indicating that the size of the funding was enough to impress anyone.

"In addition, there is a series of unprecedented policy incentives, including land use, tax breaks, and green channels for relevant regulatory approvals."

"This will be a truly meaningful and mutually beneficial collaboration. Zero One Technology will gain prestige and tangible benefits, while Wind City will gain a new lease on life and a future."

Her words were highly persuasive, and every promise she made hit the most crucial point precisely.

Su Chen listened calmly.

His expression didn't change much, as if he were listening to a routine business report.

Only slender fingers rhythmically tapped lightly on the smooth rosewood table surface.

Da da da.

Each soft sound represents the collision and high-speed processing of countless pieces of information in his brain.

He keenly realized that this was far more than just a simple business project.

Once realized, the blueprint drawn by Yayoi Takashima will see Zero One Technologies' systems deeply integrated into every inch of the city's fabric, like the city's nervous system, encompassing everything from energy and transportation to information and management.

At that time, Zero One Technology's influence will inevitably penetrate from the purely commercial field into the political core of Fengdu.

He will no longer be just a successful businessman.

Rather, he is one of the true controllers of this city.

By then, even the mysterious and deeply entrenched "Museum" organization would have to carefully consider the terrifying consequences of paralyzing half of the city if it wanted to act against him as recklessly as before.

This invisible protective umbrella is of immeasurable value.

Not to mention the “amazing” financial subsidies and the huge cash flow that subsequent projects can generate.

These funds are the lifeblood he desperately needs to expand the "Ames" armed forces and develop new models of program enhancement keys.

Every project requires astronomical sums of money to advance.

Su Chen stopped tapping.

He had already made up his mind.

"I see no reason to refuse."

He slowly stood up, his posture as upright as a pine tree.

He walked around the desk and extended his hand to Representative Takashima.

A confident and profound smile appeared on his face, like a chess player who had everything under control.

"Member Takashima, it's a pleasure to work with you."

A hint of joy flashed in Yayoi Takashima's eyes, and she quickly stood up and tightly grasped Su Chen's hand.

That hand was warm and strong.

"Let us together usher in a new era for the Wind City and for ourselves."

Su Chen's voice was calm, yet it carried a tremendous power to change the world.

This handshake was more than just the conclusion of two agreements.

It signifies that a new force, capable of overturning the existing power structure of Fengdu and leading the city toward an unknown future, has officially announced its alliance at this moment.

The sky outside the office seemed to have become deeper and clearer because of this historic convergence.

Chapter Thirteen: The Unexpected Bodyguard, Philip

The significance of the "Second Wind Tower Project" far exceeds that of a mere city landmark.

It carries the future of Fengdu's transformation.

It will inevitably crush the huge pie of the deeply entrenched old forces.

Representative Takashima knows this better than anyone else.

She knew she was now in the eye of the storm, with countless eyes watching from the shadows.

Her own safety kept her awake at night.

She did not choose the security personnel provided by the authorities.

Those people may be able to stop bullets, but they cannot stop the threat from the deeper darkness.

Through her own connections, she found the "Narumi Detective Agency," which was renowned in the underworld of Fuuto.

The reasons are very valid.

"To deal with those 'unusual' threats, you naturally need 'unusual' experts."

Thus, at the first formal technical meeting of this ambitious project, a rather peculiar scene was captured.

Su Chen, the head of Zero One Technology, and his personal secretary Izzy, as the technology leaders, occupied one side of the conference table.

Their expressions were calm, yet they possessed an unquestionable authority.

Meanwhile, behind Representative Takashima, the trio from Narumi Detective Agency became another unmissable sight in the conference room.

Akiko Narumi, the young director of the agency, was looking around the conference room with wide, curious eyes.

Everything here, from the automatically adjusting light dome to the holographic projection equipment suspended in the air, was filled with a futuristic feel that she had only seen in science fiction movies.

Shotaro crossed his arms and leaned lazily against the cold wall.

He tried to keep a straight face, attempting to portray the kind of taciturn, sharp-eyed "hard-line bodyguard" he envisioned.

However, the occasional glances towards the snack section slightly disrupted the deliberately created atmosphere.

As for Philip, he was hired by Congressman Takashima as a “temporary technical advisor.”

At this moment, he sat quietly at the conference table, his fingertips unconsciously tapping the surface, as if analyzing every data stream in the air.

"...The above is our initial concept for an artificial intelligence-based urban management system."

Izzy delivered the core introduction of the project in her characteristically calm tone, devoid of any emotional fluctuation.

"It will be uniformly scheduled and calculated through the Yak satellite to achieve the most efficient use and immediate response to the city's energy distribution, transportation network, public safety and even disaster early warning."

Every word was like a precision-guided bullet, striking the nerves of everyone present.

An eerie silence fell over the entire room.

The air seemed to freeze.

Everyone was deeply impressed by this technological blueprint, which was so advanced and even had a touch of science fiction.

The future depicted in this blueprint is so beautiful that it's hard to believe it easily.

"This is...this is amazing..."

It was Philip who first broke the silence.

His voice trembled slightly.

Those eyes, which were always as deep as an ancient well, were now gleaming with an unprecedented light.

That gleam is the challenge ignited in a top hacker when facing a firewall that is supposedly unbreakable.

That radiance was also the excitement that a peerless chess player felt when he encountered a truly exceptional opponent on the other side of the chessboard.

"Mr. Su Chen!"

Philip jumped up from his seat, the chair legs scraping against the floor with a soft but clear sound.

He looked at Su Chen with burning eyes.

"Your AI logic architecture actually... actually uses a highly decentralized distributed neural network as the basic perception layer, and then uses 'Ark,' which has absolute computing power and the highest authority, to perform the final integration and decision-making..."

He speaks extremely fast, and every word is precise.

"This design concept...it's simply...it's something only a genius could come up with!"

Philip excitedly took a few steps closer, seemingly wanting to experience the wisdom behind the blueprint more intimately.

He began to have a more in-depth and intense discussion with Su Chen about the technical details.

The topic jumped from the principle of quantum entanglement that enables ultra-long-distance, delay-free communication to adaptive algorithms that simulate the responses of biological neurons.

From the underlying logic of giving Humagears a near-real "heart," it extends to how to safely and effectively link to and utilize the vast "root" database of "Earth's memory."

The two were completely absorbed in their own world, oblivious to everyone else.

Their speaking speed increased.

The technical terms used in the discussions are becoming increasingly obscure and difficult to understand.

To the others in the meeting room, it was like some kind of encrypted language, each syllable familiar, but the combination completely incomprehensible.

One is a time traveler who possesses O01 technology that is decades, or even centuries, ahead of the current era.

The other is a data life form that can directly link to the entire "Earth Library" of information.

This exchange, which transcends different dimensions of knowledge and forms of existence, is like two sparks of wisdom colliding at high speed.
