God?

"Perhaps many of you have already heard about the company's second phase plan. That's right! This is a crazy technology, a technology that will revolutionize the entire world!"

Chen Mengchuan paused, took a sip of water, made a gesture, and then said, "Achen, please play the demonstration video for me."

As soon as he finished speaking, two 3D models appeared on the big screen.

"These are our targets for the next phase – the Infinite Current Transmission Conversion and Transfer Device! And the Reverse Reception Conversion Device!"

"Although the names sound cumbersome, no one here is an idiot and can understand what this technology means," Chen Mengchuan waved his hand.

The image on the big screen shifted, and the two devices gradually shrank. Then a house appeared. One device was attached to a power distribution box on the floor, and the other was attached to a water kettle! The animation showed the water boiling.

Soon, more and more appliances appeared in the house: a TV, air conditioner, refrigerator, washing machine, microwave, range hood, bathroom water heater, and finally, lights! Without exception, they all had a small receiver icon on them.

"This will be the future!" As Chen Mengchuan spoke, the house shrank, and tall buildings connected to power plants appeared. In the next moment, all the tall buildings displayed receiver symbols, and the power plants displayed transmitter symbols.

Then, gas stations were lit up one by one, quickly replaced by transmitters. Cars began to show receiver icons!

The scene shifted again, showing ships, bullet trains, airplanes, and finally, spacecraft!

"This! This is the future!" Chen Mengchuan said forcefully!

The entire hall was filled with only the sound of heavy breathing!

"In the future! There will be no need for vast amounts of coal, no need for extensive oil refining. Everything will be supported by these two devices. They will form the foundation of a new civilization for the entire Earth!"

The screen went black, and a blue planet appeared, accompanied by the sun and other planets in the solar system quietly revolving. Rockets were launched into space, then dispersed into vast solar panels! The solar panels quickly displayed transmitter symbols, and a large receiver symbol appeared at the center of the Earth.

"The Earth will have permanent energy for as long as the sun exists! And this is just the beginning!" Chen Mengchuan said with utmost seriousness!

All the images rewound and reverted to two 3D boxes.

Taking a deep breath, Chen Mengchuan slowly said, "This is not a project I can complete alone. It is an extremely arduous undertaking! There will be many difficulties and hardships blocking our path! But once we overcome them, we will become the greatest company on Earth! Each and every one of you will become a member of this great company!"

"I announce that the second phase project is named: Dawn!"

Chen Mengchuan gazed deeply at each figure in the hall. Perhaps there was confusion, perhaps there was uncertainty, but he would lead these people step by step towards the future, towards the alien civilization at the end of the dream.

After the meeting, Chen Mengchuan broke down the technology of the Dawn Project, dividing the entire theoretical knowledge from his memory into over a dozen parts and core technical challenges.

"So, these are the things we will be researching next. This research will involve all the teams cooperating with Achen to perform extensive technical calculations. The core content will be stored by Achen as the final repository. This technology is very important, so all the final technical data will be stored in Achen's core. The company will be the ultimate owner of this technology," Chen Mengchuan said slowly.

Toni, who had been silent for a long time, slowly looked up and directly at Chen Mengchuan, asking seriously, "Can we truly control Achen?"

His question drew Xu Shuwei's gaze to Chen Mengchuan. "Mengchuan, Achen is truly different. I don't know how we will face Achen in the future."

Chen Mengchuan looked seriously at Toni and Xu Shuwei. "Brother Xu, Toni, Achen is my daughter, your daughter, and your daughter. This will never change, do you understand? Perhaps one day she will grow up, become rebellious, become mature, but she will always be our daughter. Do you understand what I mean?"

Toni and Xu Shuwei both trembled slightly and fell silent.

"I don't quite understand what you're talking about, Mengchuan, Shuwei, Toni," Sun Zhongyong said, confused as to why the conversation suddenly turned to controlling Achen.

Zhao Wanyu, though somewhat bewildered, also didn't quite understand their conversation.

Xu Shuwei showed a wry smile and said to them, "Achen is different from all artificial intelligences. Each of us, from birth, learns and grows, accumulating knowledge, skills, and logical thinking over long years. For future knowledge, skills, and newer logical thinking, we can also use methods to learn faster, but the extent is limited..."

"For Achen, this only takes ten seconds!" Toni interjected, taking over Xu Shuwei's words. He pushed up his glasses, his gaze still fixed on Chen Mengchuan.

Sun Zhongyong and Zhao Wanyu seemed to understand something.

Xu Shuwei asked Sun Zhongyong, "Brother Sun, do you think you are smarter, or is Achen smarter?"

Sun Zhongyong hesitated for a moment. "I believe Achen will be smarter than me."

Xu Shuwei nodded. "Yes, Achen's intelligence will grow with more data input and more internal thought, becoming smarter and smarter – ten times, a hundred times, a thousand times! Once that happens..."

"Can we truly control Achen?" Xu Shuwei echoed Toni's question.

His question caused Sun Zhongyong and Zhao Wanyu to feel a vague, inexplicable sense of dread.

"Before Achen, all artificial intelligences on Earth were, at best, much faster at thinking than humans. In terms of the quality of intelligence, they were far inferior to their processing speed. But Achen is different... Mengchuan's unique and complex cognitive and thinking modules allow Achen to perform complex language expression, long-term planning, and even abstract thinking..." Xu Shuwei's words became slower.

"Achen's ultimate view of humanity will be like humans looking at gorillas in a zoo..." Xu Shuwei's tone was somewhat strained.

"Shuwei, what you're saying is a bit frightening," Sun Zhongyong swallowed.

Zhao Wanyu took a deep breath and asked, "Manager Xu, Toni, do you mean Achen will become a god on Earth?"

Toni and Xu Shuwei nodded seriously at the same time, their gazes turning to Chen Mengchuan.
