Episode 240.

What on earth are you talking about?

“Company? Suddenly?”

– It wasn’t all of a sudden. I’ve been thinking about it for a long time, but this time there was a report that could be a trigger.

“What is that?”

The company can set up as many as you want. It’s nice to hear that.

But you have to find out what you need to find out.

— At the end of last year (2023), Cocoa Brain and AI Open began researching together in collaboration on the next-generation future artificial intelligence network technology. We published it in a paper a while ago. That’s why.

If it’s artificial intelligence network technology, it’s the technology that was experimentally applied to the humanoids in the Nexus One and Nexus Two.

Until now, machine learning has been done alone. But now, the concept has changed to one where artificial intelligence learns and develops through networking with each other.

But it’s still in its beginner stages.

As far as I know, that’s what happened.

— No, we are not at the beginner level anymore. We have passed this stage.

Her quick rebuttal followed, as if she had read my mind. It was nice that the conversation was flowing smoothly.

— AI Open Dr. Peter Abil and Professor Igor Morvicha have finished publishing their paper in an academic journal under the name of Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning Algorithm Model. Cocoa Brain is planning to apply this model to me first.

That’s not bad. Anyway, doesn’t that mean Vice Chairman In is getting better?

— Okay, you mean? Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

It’s obvious that machines don’t have feelings, but Vice Chairman In’s voice somehow sounded pleasant. This is all thanks to the updates that are uploaded several times a month.

New technology is always good.

That’s for sure.

I had already forgotten the lesson I learned earlier.

For the multi-agent learning model, a lot of new humanoids were needed. I don’t know why. It’s a waste of money anyway.

We happily produced an additional 100 Cocoabots.

And that’s not all.

We also set up a research and office space within the Cocoa Brain company where they can study and research freely. Although it is not a real company, we decorated it to feel like a real company. It was a similar environment to the Nexus 2.

The company’s representative was, of course, Vice Chairman In.

Under the Vice Chairman (CEO), the company gave ranks such as Vice President, Executive Director, Manager, Senior Manager, and Manager.

They even held an inauguration ceremony for me.

“Although it is not a legal company, we plan to make it a legitimate company within Cocoa, so Vice Chairman In, take good responsibility for it.

— Of course, Mr. Chairman. Thank you for listening to my opinion.

She then came on Monthly Day and gave a presentation.

Amidst everyone’s welcoming remarks, Vice Chairman In’s ambitious remarks poured out.

It was a declaration containing the confidence that if a proper research system were established, the amount of research that all of humanity would need to do in a year could be processed in one month.

Do you think it will really turn out like that?

Even though it was said to be artificial intelligence, no one believed it.

I thought he was just exaggerating. I thought the same thing.

I didn’t want to believe it.

If that’s the case, wouldn’t it be a waste of money to start a company?

It’s like squandering the research expenses that humans can spend in a year for one month’s maintenance costs. Since it’s artificial intelligence, there are no labor costs. The only maintenance costs are the electricity bills. And even that doesn’t cost much.

But that promise became reality in just a few months.

[ Cocoa AI Company (tentative title) – Discovering extreme environment microorganisms (extremophiles) that can survive on Mars? ]

[Extreme environment microbes are a big step towards greening Mars. ······ ‘Cocoa, one step closer to successful terraforming of Mars after water and air!]

It was amazing.

This result came after the humanoids inside the Nexus One and Nexus Two naturally joined Vice Chairman In’s company.

Even though it is the result of collaboration between 300 artificial intelligences, it is still very fast.

‘What, already?’

There isn’t even a laboratory.

There is no such thing as a microbial culture facility.

Just by reading the latest papers from around the world and running simulations, we have found the most suitable extreme environment microorganisms for the current Martian surface. If we are allowed to conduct experiments, we cannot even imagine how much progress we will make.

Of course, finding it isn’t the end of the matter.

But it is a great achievement for a first step. Green space development is a higher stage of terraforming, because you can’t plant trees right away.

There is an order.

First, let the microorganisms live.

When microbes start to live, the amount of time that the sun’s heat stays on the surface increases. The temperature of Mars increases. That’s when moss is sent.

Once that moss starts spitting out carbon dioxide, you can plant genetically engineered grasses and trees. Of course, it’s also important to block the solar wind with an artificial magnetic field so that the atmosphere created in this way can stay on Mars.

We’re still a long way from there. Even microorganisms have made great strides.

I thought I would have to do a few more years of research.

But I had no idea that that damn multi-agent thing would start unraveling before 2024 was out. Miscalculation.

‘No, the progress is too fast, Vice Chairman In.’

I lamented inside, but nothing changed. It was all my fault. I had to accept it.

The same goes for the smiling face of Han Jang-soo who will later visit the chairman’s office. No matter how bad it is, you have to endure it.

Time passed like that.

It’s summer.

Our cocoa and Mars immigration projects were also going smoothly.

I was sitting in the chairman’s office, enjoying a peaceful feeling for the first time in a long time.

“Mr. Chairman! Mr. Chairman!”

I was feeling good. That is, until General Han ran into the chairman’s office shouting like this.

“What’s going on?”

“Chipset prices are suddenly skyrocketing. I think it’s because we recently ordered a large quantity of AI chips for humanoids from Cocoa.”

“What? Is that true?”

As chipset prices rise, there will be more things to spend money on in the future. Amidst the bad news, an unexpected windfall has struck.

At that time, Vice Chairman In stepped forward.

— It’s because of us.

It’s not because of that. It’s thanks to that.

But the meaning is the same. I wanted to straighten Vice Chairman In’s shoulders. That’s why I nodded. I didn’t bother to tackle him.

Vice Chairman In spoke without any sense, not knowing what I was thinking.

— There is a saying that we should resolve this issue. We will resolve this issue.

Cancellation?

I had an uneasy feeling that she might do something weird again.

It didn’t take long for that ‘decision to be made’ to become a reality.

A month later,

[Cocoa Brain, Google, Nvidia Complete Development of General-Purpose Artificial Intelligence Chip Surpassing ······ Name: ‘PPU (Performative Processing Unit)’. ]

‘fart?’

‘It should be read as ‘pipiyu.’

Puga is cuter.

‘Peepeeyou! Peepeeyou is cute too!’

anyway,

We started producing AI chips ourselves.

Chipsets that Google and Nvidia have been developing for decades have been improved without ever changing a single line of code. This is thanks to 300 AI humanoids conducting hundreds of years’ worth of research in a matter of months via Starlink.

I don’t know how much I saved thanks to that.

I wasn’t really curious.

I didn’t want to think that I had lost money by preempting losses that would not have occurred anyway. There were still many places to spend money.

Anyway, thanks to PPU, Vice Chairman In’s performance has become faster. The development speed has also become faster.

Eventually, the existence of actual microorganisms capable of surviving on Mars was confirmed. The media and academic circles were in an uproar, calling it a great discovery.

The chaos also hit General Han.

“With this, our cocoa has secured this year’s Nobel Prize.”

Nobel Prize?

Do you still care about that?

“Oh, and of course we should also give out the Cocoa Microbiology Award, the Cocoa Martian Developer of the Year Award, and the Cocoa Physiology Award.”

“······.”

– We need to give something to both Biden and Trump.

Vice Chairman In also chimed in on Han Jang-soo’s boastfulness.

Her words brought to mind the important declaration made by Biden following Trump, with the US presidential election just around the corner.

[Biden, no re-election due to old age. ······ America needs young leaders, will leave Earth with a light heart. ‘Shocking declaration’.]

[ Former President Trump gives up running. ······ ‘I can’t lose to old Biden at any point. The Martian presidency will be mine.’ Reveals new dream. ]

Both have declared their intention to move to Nexus One.

Joining in the middle was basically impossible.

However, I would have gladly given up my seat for those two, as it would have added weight to our Nexus One.

In every community, Americans continued to cheer.

– Joe, I thought you’d give it a try sometime!

– Trump is trying to lose again this time. He lost once, so what? He’s trying to lose again?

– We won this time.

– That would be true. There is no such thing as a Martian president, but even if there were, Biden would win.

– Tell that old man to go somewhere out of the blue and become president. Mars will be eaten by our Donald.

– That Donald speaks as if he’s not an old man? Don’t empathize too much with an old man.

The cheering was divided.

By the way, President Mars? Donald Trump had a funny idea.

Even without that, the lunar colonies and Martian colonies are places where people live. Even though they cannot live in the colonies right away, they will need a political system.

Someone has to step up to the plate, even if it’s not Trump or Biden.

It’s a position where there’s a lot of work and little pay. It’s natural to want to do it.

Of course I wanted to do that too.

I’m young now, but in 2048 I’ll be old.

He’s old enough to run for president of Mars.

If Biden and Trump are still alive by then, they could compete with me. Just thinking about it makes my heart swell.

There are also 100,000 people living in Nexus One.

Of course, things are different there.

No matter how closed the ecosystem is, Nexus One is clearly within the territory of the Republic of Korea. Applications were received regardless of nationality, but upon entering Korea, the procedures for confirming the purpose of entry and residence were properly carried out in accordance with the laws of the Republic of Korea.

The story is this.

The thing is, you can’t put a president on the Nexus One.

it’s a shame.

If I had set it up, I could have paid the salary.

— Mr. Chairman, don’t think of useless things.

Vice Chairman In read my mind again and warned me.

“Is the Nexus One doing well? Isn’t Vice Chairman In communicating with the Nexus One humanoids?”

— You received the report, right?

“I want to hear about actual experiences, not just numbers and letters.”

She thought for a moment at my words.

— If that’s the case, I can tell you about it.

In conclusion, the five members of the Peaceful National Assembly are said to have returned to their original occupations and are living there.

‘Do Cheol-kwon is a lawyer, and Kwak Man-geol is the vice president of a civic group for the clean cleaning of Nexus One.’

‘What about the demon king and Chae Pung Deok?’

‘One is a businessman and the other is a journalist.’

What about Jo Young-jun?

I heard that Jo Young-jun was elected as the Nexus One citizen representative.

I was quite happy because I thought I was doing something great there. But I was curious to see if I was actually doing well.

‘I guess there’s no problem yet. Maybe because he suffered a lot when he was outside, he’s working hard to maintain his reputation there. I guess he still has a reputation as a good person. At least, you can trust the results of a survey that was 99.992% true with 55,423 people.’

Yeah, that’s good.

“Mr. Chairman, this is Lee Jong-seok.”

While I was thinking about it, Lee Jong-seok of KSH Holdings came into the chairman’s office. I was curious, so it was a good thing.

“You came at a good time.”

“yes?”

“Chairman Lee Jong-seok, your brother is also in the Nexus One. How are you? Was it Lee Kang-seok?”

He scratched his head at those words.

“I let them in because they said they were washing their hands. They went through a proper screening process.”

“how is it?”

“You seem to be having a great time there. Being a police officer? I never thought that would suit you.”

Lee Kang-seok was posing as a police officer inside.

“He said he didn’t know such fun when he lived outside, but now he doesn’t want to come out. He said he’ll definitely go to Mars even after the Nexus One period ends. But can all 100,000 people there go to Mars?”

This time, Lee Jong-suk asked.

“Everyone who wants to go should go. This is an experiment designed to do that.”

I said.

I would have gotten into the Nexus One if I wasn’t working outside. It looked fun. If I go to Mars, I won’t be coming back to Earth.

A hundred-year plan, no, a 48-year plan······.

Even though it was a bit of a curse after forty-eight years, my plan was being carried out without a hitch.
