Urban God-level Youth-Chapter 592 - 594: The Capabilities of Artificial Intelligence

Chang Jing spoke up, "Qian Du Company is already struggling to stay afloat. If it hadn't been for the glimmer of hope seen in self-driving cars, Qian Du Company would probably have gone bankrupt by now."

"Self-driving cars?" Qin Hao chuckled.

Chang Jing said, "The stock of Qian Du Company has already plummeted. Investors have been divesting and selling off Qian Du's shares en masse. If it weren't for Li Fengyu dipping into his own pockets to buy a large amount of stock, Qian Du couldn't have held out this long."

Qin Hao asked, "Dipping into his own pockets? He must have had to use all his savings over the years, right?"

Chang Jing nodded, "Exactly, this time, Li Fengyu sold several of his houses, putting all his funds in self-driving technology."

This time, Li Fengyu was bound to fail, for Jiangqi Group's intelligent self-driving cars were already in production under intense secrecy.

Xinghai High-tech's artificial intelligence technology was very mature, and the first vehicle could be produced in about half a month, which would mark the moment of despair for Li Fengyu.

Qin Hao could imagine his ending, but he had no choice, such is the nature of the business battleground.

If one day Qin Hao fell, his fate would not be much better; certainly, there would be many waiting to kick him while he was down.

Qin Hao said, "If I could come up with one or two more blockbuster games, Tenglong Group's downfall wouldn't be far off."

Chang Jing added, "The user base is definitely going to shrink further. Whether the company goes bankrupt depends on how Ren Huachen deals with it. If he still holds out hope and dips into his own pockets, then Tenglong Group may hold on for a while longer."

Qin Hao looked down at her and asked, "What's the difference between that and going bankrupt? How many game developers are there now?"

Chang Jing replied, "About sixty. They are also researching games, but their work can't compare to Tenglong Group's game team; the gap is quite significant."

Qin Hao smiled faintly, "That's not a problem. Mr. Chang, what do you think of Lv Tian?"

Chang Jing sat in her chair, turned her head towards him upon hearing his words, their faces just a few inches apart.

Her rosy lips parted lightly, "Lv Tian is undoubtedly competent, with many methods up his sleeve. And he always comes up with unusual and effective strategies; otherwise, his Amao Net Shopping wouldn't have reached its current extent."

Qin Hao asked, "What do you think about having him as your subordinate?"

Chang Jing replied, "That would be fine; if he comes, he can take on a lot of responsibilities. Internet matters can be left to him. But do you think he would agree?"

Qin Hao's smile carried a self-assured charm, "Even someone like you is willing to approach him proactively; do you think he would refuse?"

Upon hearing this, Chang Jing's cheeks flushed red, and she pushed him away, "What do you mean I'm approaching proactively? I'm looking at the long-term benefits. Don't make it sound so vulgar, okay? It makes me seem like... something else."

"Mr. Chang, you're overthinking it. I have some other matters to attend to so I'm going back to my office," Qin Hao said as he exited her office and entered his own.

Back in his office, Qin Hao opened the system marketplace; he had proper business to attend to at the company.

After searching for a while within the system marketplace, Qin Hao found what he was looking for: the Basic Interstellar Radar Navigation Satellite Intelligence System, priced at six million achievement points.

The Basic Interstellar Radar Navigation Satellite System could be used on interstellar battleships or on planets, providing navigation services for land, sea, and air.

Qin Hao considered looking for other items but didn't find anything, so he chose to exchange for the radar navigation satellite system. The technology partly involved military aspects, which would be a serious issue if exposed.

But without a navigation system, intelligent self-driving cars would be blind, even though they might still be roadworthy; the lack of a navigation system would severely impact their use.

Leasing someone else's navigation satellite offered no guarantee—self-reliance was key.

After learning the technology, a contemplative look appeared in Qin Hao's eyes, and through the Star Domain Network, he sent the research and manufacturing technology to Mechanical Soldier 001. Such confidential matters naturally had to be entrusted to robots like 001.

This was a matter of great importance, and once produced, nobody, including Chang Jing, could know about it.

If the news got out, the charges against him would be serious. In Xuan Country, only the state could possess military technology; individual companies were not allowed to research it.

Arms were always under strict control in Xuan Country, and the satellite market was similarly regulated by various nations—only states were entitled to launch them.

After leaving instructions for Mechanical Soldier 001 online, Qin Hao sat in his office chair, agonizing over the decision for a long time before he finally exhaled, "Let everything follow my heart."

Some things, when held in one's hands, instill a sense of security.

He had no ulterior motives; he simply hoped to have the strength to protect his family, friends, and country.

Not everyone in the nation's leadership was incorruptible and devoted to the people—many were living for their own desires. With so many uncertainties, he dared not take risks.

Qin Hao continued to browse the system marketplace, looking for a mobile and a PC game. His main goal was to topple the three giants of the internet industry.

He quickly found two games. The PC game was "Mechanical Soldier," which prominently featured controlling various mecha in combat and was also a 5V5 team battle game.

Mecha came in many varieties, including those specialized for defense, agility, attack, as well as balanced warrior-type mechas, among others.

This game also had an upgrade feature, and once intelligent wearable technology matured, players wearing smart gear would feel like they had truly entered another world.

The current VR9D technology already had this effect, but it was not yet mature, and importantly, the gaming graphics and effects lacked refinement, which required further effort from game companies.

Qin Hao's goal was not to develop an ultra-realistic virtual game but to crush Tenglong Group's gaming industry.

The development of this virtual game could follow later; the current conditions of people's lives didn't allow for it yet.

The mobile game was also "Mechanical Soldier," but with slight modifications to suit mobile user operation.

The two games cost him a total of four million achievement points.

He began writing code on the computer, planning to hand it over to the game development department once completed.

Suddenly, the voice of the Intelligent Computer Xiao Xing resonated, "Master, are you writing game code?"

Qin Hao asked, "What about it?"

Xiao Xing said, "Master, anything related to the network can be entrusted to me. I have now switched to a large server, and my processing capability is very strong. I can create the game, and it will be absolutely in accordance with your requirements."

Qin Hao was taken aback, "Damn, you have this function?"

Xiao Xing confirmed, "Yes, Master, Xiao Xing can handle anything related to the network."

Qin Hao was indeed surprised; he hadn't been aware of this feature, "How long will it take you to research these two games?"
