My Dream Connects to 3000 Years in the Future

”April 18th: Lin Xia and Zhao Shao registered their respective companies!”

”April 20th: The two of them recruited enough people and began production in earnest! They started cooperating with various parties... I have to say, Lin Xia is a pretty good judge of character. While Hu Ruochu isn’t great at factory management, she’s surprisingly smooth when it comes to liaising with our partners! She’s more than just a good HR manager...”

”Successfully connected with all the major platforms and signed deals... Through this, we’ve acquired immense wealth...”

Chu Bamboo skimmed through the text. His good brother had written a great deal about business, but he wasn’t particularly interested in it. Or rather, the only piece of information in this section that caught his eye was...

’So Hu Ruochu seems to have escaped disaster? That’s good!’

’And this really proves that the path they took didn’t have any major problems!’

Chu Bamboo glanced at a summary. In just half a month, the entertainment companies they had established had all entered a stage of rapid profitability...

Millions in daily revenue!

And that was just the beginning! The daily profits were still growing.

”May 1st: Under the bombardment of thousands of AI-generated short plays, audiences of web novel IPs are all saying the game has changed. Although the 100% faithful Reproduction of the plot earned a lot of complaints from fans... the reception is still far better than for those that randomly decided to change the story.”

”...However, there’s a fatal flaw! My fame skyrocketed... Now, I even get recognized on campus from time to time! It’s a little terrifying. I once had a dozen or so underclassmen rush up to confess their feelings to me one by one... I honestly feel like I’ve become a superstar! Is this the joy of being famous?”

Chu Bamboo: ”!!!”

’Wait, you’re clearly not a superstar... you’re a viral celebrity!’

Chu Bamboo felt a retort stuck in his throat, unsure what to even say. Then, he saw his good brother had added another line: ”Thankfully, when I went back to see my parents, they didn’t recognize me as a big star... That, at least, makes sense!”

”The novels are still a bit more widespread among the younger generation...”

”May 17th: When I went to the police station again, I saw Howard! That guy still hasn’t left? Looks like he’s determined to fight a war of attrition!”

Reading this, Chu Bamboo frowned. ’He’s still here... I don’t know if he’s staying in Jinling because he can’t find any information, or what. If that’s the case...’

Chu Bamboo sensed trouble. He continued reading and found that his good brother hadn’t taken any action against Howard! He just ignored him. Apparently, his good brother was determined to avoid contact with the Golden Dawn if at all possible... focusing on development above all else!

”June 1st: Lu Keke came on board! After she signed an NDA, I gave her the papers on room-temperature superconductors and asked her to replicate the findings...

She was suspicious, thinking I was messing with her! And then, well... that was that. She has a lot to learn when it comes to room-temperature superconductivity!

The idea of her whipping up a room-temperature superconductor from scratch in a year or two is pretty unlikely... I guess even geniuses have to obey the fundamental laws of physics...

I went to the university president and managed to find a mentor for Lu Keke in the field of room-temperature superconductivity! Uh, of course, this just gives her a chance to be a student; she still has to pass that expert’s assessment... But I think she should be fine...

The seed has been planted; now it’s time to wait for it to blossom. Thankfully... I have plenty of patience!”

”October 21st: The factory conversion is complete.

We successfully integrated Z into the factory and created a custom automation program tailored to all its current equipment... This reduced our personnel requirement to fifteen percent of the original, while increasing efficiency to seven and a half times the original.

The factory may be very small! But after this series of upgrades, with enough raw materials, our factory’s output can reach about five percent of Di’s total production!”

”Doesn’t sound that impressive? But Di has thirty-three battery manufacturers! Do you have any idea what that means...

Let’s just say, the industry insiders nearly pissed themselves when they heard the news. And yes, by ’industry insider,’ I’m specifically referring to Hu Ruochu!”

”After the news spread... the Officials started sending three waves of people from state-owned enterprises every day to learn from our advanced experience! But how are they supposed to learn this... We’ll just give them some nerfed versions of Z’s AI personas and let them figure it out slowly.”

”Maybe it’s because we’ve connected with the state-owned enterprises, or maybe it’s because our output is still limited and hasn’t hurt Di’s bottom line, but for once, Di didn’t hysterically launch some kind of business war against us.”

True. Chu Bamboo nodded silently. ’Too many of the Divine Continent’s resources are controlled by state-owned enterprises! It would be useless for Di to try and restrict our resources, since the procurement channels for state-owned enterprises are completely different from those of private companies...’

”Alright, enough of that nonsense. Let me outline the specific factory conversion process!

First, the program modification. The specific program is as follows: ...

Program modification is the cornerstone of automation! We suffered a lot and even encountered quite a few bugs. I’ve come to deeply understand that Z isn’t omnipotent! That’s because she has never produced a battery before! She has no data on the subject...

Let me repeat: if an AI has no data, don’t let it do the job! In that area, she’s the equivalent of a novice—a novice with immense power and the greatest potential for destruction! If you can’t wrap your head around that, just think of her as a bratty kid!

She even nearly blew up the battery factory a few times. No... there was one time she actually set the place on fire!

Lin Xia was so mad he cried! He told me later that he thought they’d have to find a new factory and start the conversion all over again. Luckily, the fire prevention system in Z’s automation settings is quite sophisticated, and it managed to get the fire under control!

After that, Jinling University sent over a batch of outstanding PhD students from the battery industry to be our workhorses. Plus, we were able to message Shanghai for technical support... We barely managed to pull through...”

”Once you have the program, Z can avoid ninety percent of the errors! As for the remaining ten percent? Just have Z buckle down and deep-learn all the relevant knowledge from battery manufacturers! This is a pitfall you have to fall into yourself... I’ve recorded some things, but you wouldn’t understand them anyway! So that’s that. I hope you burn down a factory too... I’m not cursing you, it’s just a simple blessing that you’ll learn from your mistakes.”

Chu Bamboo: ”...”

You think he believed him?

”Aside from that, the additional equipment needed for the factory is as follows...”

”The equipment manufacturers and specific parameters are as follows...”

”I’ve basically chosen equipment manufacturers from the areas surrounding Jinling!

And they have all this equipment in stock... When you get back, just buy it, input the program, and you should be able to get the factory up and running in about two or three days.

Of course, while that part is fast... your employees will need to be retrained!

Still, you should be able to start production within half a month to a month, right? You don’t think that’s too slow, do you?”

Chu Bamboo: ”...!”

Damn! The smugness was practically radiating off the page...

But it was no wonder his good brother was so proud! A shortcut to skip all the hard work, was it?

Chu Bamboo silently wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. At the same time, he was a little emotional. ’This time, my good brother’s mindset feels genuinely peaceful and stable!’

’It’s a world of difference from the last infiltration mission.’

’Is this the sense of security that comes from taking the empire-building route?!’

Chu Bamboo smiled silently. From the bottom of his heart, he was happy for his good brother in this life.
