Anton was right. After Murphy's modifications, the world now possessed the basic conditions needed to realize the OGAS plan.
More than four years ago, the Blue Queen series of personal computers had emerged, and the internet led by Umbrella had already begun taking shape worldwide.
With Umbrella's strong support, the Soviet Union had begun widely promoting computers and networks three years ago. Its personal computer and network penetration rates had now surpassed those of the United States, second only to Britain, making it one of the most "electronicized and networked" nations.
What was more, they now had Pioneer, a supercomputer thirty years ahead of the rest of the world.
Its computing power was already enough to support the operation of massive models with tens of billions of parameters. With it, there would not even be a need for a three-tier network—Pioneer could directly control the nation's economic data.
Murphy intended to use Pioneer as an external computational brain. That would be tantamount to him directly controlling every economic cell in the entire Soviet Union.
Tsk. Brilliant.
The OGAS system could precisely regulate the nation's economy.
And not just the economy.
Human resource systems, even the bureaucratic apparatus, could naturally be managed through this system. As long as there was sufficient computing power, sufficiently accurate data, and analytical models, corruption could truly be eliminated altogether, making the entire system efficient and clean.
Transportation, healthcare, education, communications, and every other field requiring regulation and allocation could likewise use this system.
To a certain extent, the operation of the entire world fell under the models of cybernetics, and OGAS was the embodiment of that model.
If one possessed not only the power of a nation, but could also optimize that power down to the level of individual "cells," even Murphy found it difficult
