Episode 241.

Half of 2024 has already passed.

Vice Chairman In’s abilities improved day by day.

It was a little scary.

Now, all the secretaries who were paid to the entire group have been included in the multi-agent learning model. It was planned. If anything, it is late.

‘There are a total of 1,054 entities in the Cocoa Finance Group.’

‘There are a total of 743 Cocoa Game Studios.’

The number of connected objects reached tens of thousands.

That wasn’t all.

Not only the Cocoa Labs affiliates, but even Panku and Bagyeo all fell into the hands of Vice Chairman In.

But I couldn’t give even a single share. It was impossible until a bill was passed that would allow humanoids to have legal personality.

‘In the end, no harm was done.’

Needless to say, I don’t even need to say anything.

If I could, I would give it all.

But it is impossible until we overcome humanity’s aversion to a world dominated by artificial intelligence. Even Elon Musk was skeptical about this. I can’t do it on my own, so I have no choice but to put it on hold for now.

It’s a shame.

[ World’s No. 1 cocoa productivity index. ······. A whopping figure that surpasses Tesla, which is in second place, by 10 times. ]

The result came out like this.

What about the research results?

Thanks to this, I was able to achieve not only this year’s goals but also next year’s goals, and I achieved meaningful results before summer even ended.

Elon Musk’s long-term gift to us, the Tokamak, the ion engine, and even the supersonic electric vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) aircraft, have all been made into prototypes that can be tested in practice.

It’s a huge achievement.

But Vice Chairman In did not look satisfied at all.

– There’s nothing left for us to do, Mr. Chairman.

I was speechless for a moment after hearing Vice Chairman In’s words.

I wanted to say, “Play.”

But that couldn’t be done. If I say something like that and then turn my attention to improving performance, the speed could become even faster than it is now. That’s more dangerous for me.

There was silence for a moment.

— From now on, I will help America and Musk. I have nothing else to do, so I will do it as a part-time job. Let’s start with the artificial magnetic field right away. I have to launch it within the next year.

And this time again, the answer was not mine but Vice Chairman In’s.

There was only one question.

Next year?

It will definitely be finished this year. I guarantee it.

Vice Chairman In’s current pace of development was like that. I couldn’t help but curse inwardly.

‘Next year? Yes, this year.’

I swallowed it quickly. But,

— Why are you complaining like that when I say I did something wrong?

I forgot for a moment that Vice Chairman In was reading my mind. If this continues, won’t Vice Chairman In really dominate our cocoa?

‘I wish that were the case.’

This was the truth.

The news also reached the United States.

“Cocoa will soon succeed in driving a tokamak?”

Elon Musk was absolutely shocked. He had no idea it would happen this fast.

I knew that Korea, Japan, and China were conducting tokamak experiments, one after the other.

It is a fierce competition between China, which succeeded in operating for 403 seconds (101 seconds at 160 million °C), Korea, which is developing a Korean-type nuclear fusion reactor called K-STAR, and Japan, which is developing JA-DEMO, although they conducted experiments by lowering the temperature.

It wasn’t enough to warrant caution.

But it’s a different story when it comes to cocoa.

Moreover, Cocoa is not only doing tokamak. It is researching everything from VTOL, the next generation of air vehicles, to ion engines, which will be the core of interstellar driving. And it is fast. It is breaking all the records that have been achieved so far.

‘It’s faster than I thought. I expected it.’

It was while he was thinking like that.

Diriring, diriring.

It was a call from Cocoa Labs, a familiar Korean international phone number.

“This is Elon.”

– Hello, I am the Vice President of Cocoa Labs.

But it wasn’t Kang Si-hyeon.

“Vice Chairman In?”

An AI can make a phone call, right? What on earth does it have to say? Musk was genuinely surprised.

“Why did you call me?”

– Just give me one job. I want to do a part-time job.

I was surprised again.

After getting to know Kang Si-hyun, there were many things that surprised me. But that didn’t happen to other people. The only one who surprised Musk was Kang Si-hyun.

I’ve been thinking that way for a long time.

But not this time. I never dreamed that there would still be so many surprises left in other places.

Elon touched his nose with mixed emotions.

“Well, what can I do for you?”

The answer was simple.

– All, all of it. (All. All of it.)

* * *

So I brought them all.

Time passed. Summer passed and winter came. Vice Chairman In became incredibly busy.

‘Vice Chairman In, where are you?’

‘I’m working now. Don’t talk to me.’

It was absurd.

She must be telling me not to talk to her on purpose. With her computing speed, she could do ten million things and still have a conversation with me.

She is becoming more and more human. This is also at a scary pace.

There was a flood of media reports.

[ Cocoa Labs, pushing ahead with a full-scale artificial magnetic field project. ······ ‘Elon Musk, this collaboration is a small challenge, but it will be a big challenge for humanity.’ Showing confidence. ]

[ Confident in completing the prototype by the end of the year. ······ ‘If an artificial magnetic field is introduced, the speed of terraforming Mars will be at least 10 times faster.’ ]

Elon Musk also showed his strength.

To make all this happen, Starship has to do its job. Even Vice Chairman In can’t do anything about it. It’s a company secret.

I also don’t bother to touch it. No fool would bother to bring in money-making secrets. Musk can keep it as he has so far.

The end of the year is almost here.

“Space is great, but please pay attention to Earth too.”

It was Nam Hyeonseung.

“What am I.”

“Of course I know everything is going well. But do you feel left out because your mind is completely focused on space?”

“I see.”

Indeed, Nam Hyeon-seung also went into and out of low orbit several times, unable to resist my temper.

There were also some things he did on purpose to make you go crazy. It would be a lie if he said he didn’t want the people of Baedal to be a little careless. It’s not like it’s going to ruin you, but you have to see that he at least wanted it to be a problem.

It was a useless thought.

Nam Hyun-seung had already grown Bae-gye into the best food tech company in the five oceans and six continents by mixing exaggeration and exaggeration. He also built a similar system for Nexus One.

“I’m also upset.”

The same was true for Pangku’s Lee Seok-hwan.

“It’s been a long time since you came to Korea, but aren’t you disappointed that you’re only drinking coffee in Hwapyeong?”

“I shouldn’t be upset. The only thing that’s disappointing is that Chairman Kang’s interest is not the same as before. Oh, and Chairman Lee Chung-jae of Jeju Island said the same thing.”

Lee Chung-jae.

I had forgotten about him.

“Do you remember now?”

Lee Seok-hwan said with a big smile.

“Well, it’s impossible for me to remember Chairman Lee Chung-jae’s name when I’m hanging out with people like Trump, Biden, Musk, and Zuckerberg.”

“I thought so. I came here because you asked me to ask anyway.”

When Nam Hyun-seung started to laugh, Lee Seok-hwan added, “It’s a joke to make you laugh, but there’s a lot of truth in it.”

“nexus······.”

“I will do it for you.”

“······You make decisions very quickly.”

I always knew it, but Lee Seok-hwan stuck out his tongue.

“Instead, Chairman Lee Chung-jae cannot enter Nexus One. Later, when the lunar colony Nexus Three is completed, I will put you in the first place. You won’t be disappointed, right?”

He nodded too. His expression showed that his purpose had been achieved.

“The reason Chairman Lee Chung-jae lives in Jeju Island is because he hates the hustle and bustle. If it were a moon colony, he would be able to enjoy the tranquil blue of the Earth whenever he opens his eyes. I bet he would really like it.”

There’s more to say.

“Hyunseung, no, Chairman Nam and Chairman Lee, please help us build the Nexus Three and Nexus Four (Mars) logistics system. Wouldn’t your experience in Nexus One be enough? It’s an essential part of our Cocoa space project.”

“Then until when······.”

“We plan to have it by at least 2030.”

“······!”

“······!”

Both of them turned into surprised rabbits at my words.

“That quickly?”

Not soon. It’s late.

“It has to be faster. Are you willing to do that? No matter how much it costs, you have to do it. I’ll pay you the money. As much as you want.”

Taking advantage of this momentum, I also put in my money. The two exchanged glances for a while. It seemed like there wasn’t much else to say.

Eventually, they both nodded. Okay.

— I’m dreaming of a white Christmas. ······

My strategy worked.

Somewhere, early carols were sung as if celebrating. 2024 was passing by like that again.

* * *

Time flies. The year 2025, the year of Eulsa, has arrived.

Vice Chairman In was still busy.

[ AI influence spreads throughout the Cocoa Group. ······ Higher proportion of AI used in work than any other company. ]

As a result, the work of the cocoa people gradually decreased.

Almost everything was running on the power of the AI ​​network. Now, there were only a handful of people coming to work. Thanks to this, the cost of maintaining the facility was reduced by an incredible amount.

It was an unwanted side effect.

The only one that was not affected was KSH Holdings.

“Mr. Chairman.”

Both Lee Jong-suk and Lim Kyung-joon were now handling everything in the office without going anywhere else.

Is the reason why I insist on going to work even though I don’t have to because the chairman’s office is right next door?

“If you’re not busy, let’s talk.”

“Do you look busy?”

“I don’t think so.”

“That’s right, Mr. Chairman.”

I sat down after chatting about nothing.

“Shall I show you the report?”

Lim Kyung-jun said this in a leisurely voice, but I shook my head. I didn’t want to see a report full of pluses and digits.

Now, I have given up on using all the assets managed by KSH Holdings. I feel embarrassed to keep worrying about them when they never decrease no matter how much I use them.

More than that,

“How is the Nexus One market doing?”

In my words,

“Of course. The currency system devised by Chairman Lee Jong-seok is working very well. It is more rational than Earth.”

“No, what are you talking about? It’s transparent because it’s a place that revolves around virtual currency. CEO Lim has laid out the plan very well based on his past experience.”

The two of them gave each other credit. Anyway, I’m glad that things are going well.

It’s nice to hear that.

At least when the space age comes, the system will be in a good environment for me to spend money. At least money won’t pile up like it does on Earth. Will I be able to spend all my money then?

At the moment I was thinking this, Vice Chairman In’s bright voice rang out from outside the door.

— Breaking news, Mr. Chairman.

At that voice, the ears of the three people inside turned to one side at the same time.

“What’s the news?”

I asked.

— This is news from SpaceX. They’ve finally finished developing the artificial magnetic field generator. All they have to do is put it on Starship and launch it. They haven’t made an announcement yet.

“When will it be announced?”

— Now that you’ve informed Cocoa, I heard you’re going to hold a press conference right away. You can watch the details on TV.

Before I could even tell him to do it, Lim Kyung-jun moved quickly.

There was no need to change the channel; all channels were already filled with Elon Musk’s mischievous face.

-······ This moment has finally come.

His mouth opened.

– It is the moment to write a new history of multi-planetary humanity and Mars immigration that I dreamed of with Chairman Kang Si-Hyeon of Cocoa. I am currently installing the largest celestial body in human history among the artificial celestial bodies launched from Cape Canaveral. Success is not just my wish, but the wish of all of humanity.

‘Please pray, I don’t know if it will work.’

Everyone burst into laughter at Elon Musk’s speech, which did not forget to include humor in the midst of seriousness. There was one person who did not laugh.

Me, that is.

This is too fast, even if it’s fast.

An artificial magnetic field that was thought to be possible only by 2030 has been test-launched before 2026.

If things go on like this, the 2048 plan might even be brought forward, damn it.
