Chapter 994 Inspecting the Manor


    Yang Bo did not find a suitable excuse to visit the Ninth Fleet.


    However, there is no rush on this matter, because it seems to be relatively far away for the time being.


    In addition, there is no possibility of filtering at all. It is a bit unrealistic to have whatever configuration you want.


    So Yang Bo came to Vicky City and continued to upgrade the mecha''s operating system.


    In the Crimson Federation, mechas are the main fighting force.


    Although the major forces in the Crimson Federation also have battleships and armed spaceships.


    But warships and armed spaceships are not used easily by these forces.


    Because the destructive power of armed spaceships and battleships is too great.


    Armed spaceships and battleships can easily destroy a city.


    But there is no point in doing so. What the major forces are fighting for is the city itself, as well as the population.


    If both sides use spaceships and battleships to defeat their opponents.


    Then the future of the Crimson Federation is only destruction.


    Because using spaceships and battleships to defeat opponents will inevitably reduce the wealth on the ground to zero.


    Therefore, the Crimson Federation Council enacted strict laws hundreds of years ago to restrict the use of armed spaceships and warships.


    If any force uses spaceships and warships first during internal conflicts and frictions, then the other forces will launch a devastating blow to the first mover.


    This is somewhat similar to nuclear power on Earth.


    It is precisely because of this environment that mechas have become the backbone of the major forces.


    Of course, for the top forces, although armed spaceships and battleships cannot be used, they are indispensable.


    The reason why mechas have become the backbone is because they are flexible and changeable.


    Although fighter planes are more powerful than mechas, they are not as flexible as mechas.


    In the process, Yang Bo encountered some troubles again.


    That is, different manufacturers of mechas have different models, and there are many types of mechas.


    The country of the Crimson Federation also has the ability to manufacture mechas.


    But the mechas in John Li''s manor were not made by the Crimson Federation.


    Because the Federation is a warlord-like system, a certain warlord has the ability to manufacture mechas, but this warlord wants to sell the mechas he made to other warlords.


    Other warlords will not buy it at all, and other warlords will worry that these mechas have other backdoors.


    The mecha itself is actually a weapon. The energy batteries of these mechas can turn into huge bombs under certain circumstances.


    In addition, the mecha can also collect a lot of information.


    Therefore, the warlords in the Federation who can manufacture mechas use them themselves.


    Warlords who cannot make mechas can purchase Imperial or Alliance mechas.


    So Yang Bo was faced with mechas produced by different mecha manufacturers in the alliance and the empire.


    Both the Alliance and the Empire have three major mecha manufacturers.


    The top leaders of the Alliance and the Empire will not allow one mecha manufacturer to monopolize their domestic mecha R&D and production.


    There are also strict restrictions on the mechas exported by these two countries. From the operating system to the configuration, it is impossible to reach as high a level as for personal use.


    "Should we change it to a unified operating system?" Yang Bo looked at the remaining mechas and muttered in his heart.


    The remaining dozens of mechas come from three companies, each of which has its own operating system and intelligent system.


    The mecha''s operating system and intelligent system have a lot to do with its own hardware.


    Yang Bo has the ability to change the operating systems of these mechas to the same one.


    There are just some differences for different mecha configurations and hardware.


    The advantage of this is that it allows the mecha masters in the manor to operate other mechas.


    And it also has great advantages when training new mecha masters.


    However, this also has disadvantages. On the one hand, it will expose John Li’s powerful software capabilities.


    It goes without saying how important the mecha''s operating system is.


    Many mecha intelligent operating systems are bound to hardware.


    Even if they are not bound together, the intelligent operating systems of these mechas are every company''s biggest secret.


    If someone could easily change these smart operating systems.


    Then this person will be regarded as a thorn in the side of several major mecha companies.


    Yang Bo finally decided to just optimize the operating systems of these mechas. Of course, the unification and standardization of mecha operating systems is a general trend.


    "Wait until you are strong enough, then think about these things again!" Yang Bo honestly continued to optimize the operating systems of these mechas.


    "The hardware of some mechas can be changed!" When Yang Bo was optimizing the mecha operating system, he discovered that there was room for optimization in the hardware design of some mechas.


    It took three interstellar days for Yang Bo to optimize the mechas of his men.


    "Boss!" Xu Shun saw his boss, John Li, and quickly stepped forward to say hello.


    Yang Bo now pretended to be John Li, opened John Li''s smart watch, and opened the permissions of the mecha warehouse.


    In this way, the mecha masters under his command can use the mecha normally.


    Then check out the news from Karaya and local news.


    Then Yang Bo saw an email sent to him by Black Star Company.


    Notify yourself to attend the shareholders'' meeting at the company in two days.


    The company has already formulated plans for Golden Lion City.


    "Yeah." Yang Bo hummed while replying to the company''s email.


    Then Yang Bo looked at some things inside the manor.


    Yang Bo felt a little at a loss for the management of the entire manor.


    Although I already knew how John Lee Manor was managed in the past, I only realized how difficult it was when I actually got started.


    The expenses of the manor, as well as the income of the manor, must also be guarded against infiltration by interested people.


    There are so many people in the entire manor divided into many departments.


    "Looking for an outstanding CEO!" Yang Bo felt like the boss of a company, looking for an outstanding management talent to help him manage his territory.


    But the talents on the Crimson Federation face another problem. There is a high probability that they are people sent by other forces.


    Yang Bo has great ambitions, so the current management talents within the manor cannot catch Yang Bo''s eyes at all.


    "Intelligence?" There is still a vision to develop, and the intelligence system is also a top priority.


    John Lee also has an intelligence department, but its ability to gather intelligence is limited.


    Most still rely on company intelligence.


    "Big head!" Yang Bo is not afraid of making money, nor is he afraid of buying some warships, nor is he afraid of technical problems.


    It is about the management and development of this future.


    If the foundation and general direction are not done well at the beginning, then the entire force will have big problems later on.


    Faced with this problem, Yang Bo has no solution for the time being, because he does not have such talents at all.


    As far as John Li''s manor is concerned, the management talents are all lurking from other forces, so we know whether these people in this manor are reliable or not.


    "The first step is to find a way to send these unreliable people away." Yang Bo decided to solve the personnel problems within the manor first.


    Because it is impossible for Yang Bo to use spiritual seeds to release so many people in the entire manor.


    Although there is no limit on the release of spiritual seeds for the time being, Yang Bo knows that this is because his spiritual power is strong enough.


    But no matter how powerful the spiritual power is, there is a limit, so there should be a limit to the number of times the spiritual seeds can be released.


    The other is to release spiritual seeds and read other people''s memories.


    This kind of reading other people''s memories has a slightly immersive feeling, as if it is your own memory. Yang Bo felt that the more spiritual seeds he released, the more he read other people''s memories, the greater the possibility that his own memory would be interfered with.


    In the end, you may not know which of your memories are your real ones.


    Therefore, when Yang Bo read the memory of these management talents within the manor, he only read a small part of the memory related to identity issues.


    It doesn''t involve too many other memories.


    "Would you like to dress yourself as a killer?"


    "The management of my own manor is still a matter of talent."


    "And it''s not a modified person or a clone."


    "But we have to find an opportunity." Yang Bo thought in his mind.


    Xu Shun, the manor''s chief butler, had no idea that the boss in front of him was trying to get rid of him.


    What Xu Shun is wondering now is why the boss locked the manor''s mecha warehouse!


    Xu Shun''s intuition told him that there must be something wrong with this.


    So Xu Shun asked: "Boss, do we still want to purchase mechas? The Alliance''s Ping An Mecha Company will hold a mecha exhibition in Karaya next month."


    "But this time the price of the mecha has increased by 15% compared to last time."


    When Yang Bo heard this, he asked: "Price increase?"


    "Yes, because of the passage of the Civilian Mecha Act within the alliance, the sales of mechas have skyrocketed." Xu Shun nodded and explained.


    "I know!" Yang Bo nodded after hearing this and didn''t say much, because that''s how John Li was.


    "Alas!" Yang Bo sighed in his heart.


    John Lee did not leave everything to a steward, but also personally controlled the manor''s armed forces and money.


    Unlike Yang Bo, everything can be left to the housekeeper in Devon Star.


    On the one hand, Yang Bo''s status in Devon Star is a hereditary nobleman, and the butler is also a person trained by the family.


    That is, the empire still has a complete legal and supervisory system.


    In the Crimson Federation, if a person dares to give money to another person for safekeeping, there is a high probability that the other person will take the money and run away.


    If Yang Bo wants to hand over the money to Xu Shun for management.


    Then Xu Shun can take the money and go directly to other places to join other people.


    Others are happy to accept it because the other person brings a lot of wealth.


    This invisibly increases the difficulty of Yang Bo''s management.


    Seeing that his boss didn''t continue, Xu Shun said, "Boss, are we still recruiting mecha masters this year?"


    “We won’t be recruiting for the time being this year!”


    "Be prepared. I''m going to the company for a meeting in two days." Yang Bo hasn''t solved the problem of these young people internally, and he won''t recruit people before.


    Because we are recruiting people now, it is very likely that these people’s accomplices will be recruited.


    "Yes!" Xu Shun nodded.


    Then Yang Bo ignored the butler and took a flying car directly to the fighter warehouse.


    There are fifteen fighter planes in the manor, but only five can go to space.


    The remaining ten fighters can only fly within the atmosphere.


    "Alas!" Yang Bo sighed as he looked at these fighters.


    Because these fighters are produced by four companies, and some of them are antiques from hundreds of years ago.


    Of course, the performance of these fighters is much more powerful than those on Earth.


    The worst fighter among them has a maximum flight speed of more than Mach 10, a bomb load of 150 tons, and looks like a giant bat.


    However, this fighter has the worst performance because it can only carry missiles and cannot carry energy weapons.


    The power of fighter planes is actually to extend the attack distance of energy weapons.


    Because energy weapons attack in a straight line, the higher the launch point of the energy weapon, the wider the range it can cover.


    Logically speaking, the attack power of fighter planes is stronger than that of mechas, so the position of fighter planes among the major forces should be more important?


    But why is the opposite true?


    This is actually because fighters face many problems when fighting in the atmosphere.


    The energy weapons of fighter planes are not omnipotent, and weather factors limit the performance of fighter planes.


    For example, in stormy weather, the energy weapons of fighter planes are almost useless.


    Even if the radar can lock on the opponent.


    There are all kinds of other weather.


    In addition, the number of fighter planes flying high will increase when facing enemy air defense forces.


    "Forget it!" Yang Bo looked around and found that the performance of these fighters was not enough for him to waste time optimizing their systems.


    Because the manor has other weapon systems.


    "UAV system!" Yang Bo came to the hive UAV system again.


    There are probably more than 20,000 drones in the manor, but most of them are miniature and small reconnaissance models.


    "Backward." Yang Bo came to the Honeycomb UAV Command Center, carefully looked at the configuration of these drones, and muttered two words in his heart.


    "I have the technology myself and should vigorously develop drones."


    "This will also indirectly reduce management talents."


    "Then design a hive drone system yourself."


    "But these systems are not singular and are integrated with other defense systems across the estate."


    "Turning the whole body." Yang Bo considered these things again, so he decided to read them all before talking.


    "Robot..." Yang Bo looked at the robot command system inside the manor.


    Although there are more than 3,000 robots, most of them are old models.


    The oldest one is actually equipped with gunpowder weapons.


    Moreover, these robots come in all shapes, and some are like miniature tanks, equipped with various miniature missiles or gunpowder weapons.


    There are also various other bionic animal shapes and spider shapes.


    Yang Bo believes that these robots should also be of the same model to facilitate maintenance and command. He just said that the modules equipped with these robots need to be changed.


    Then we went to the manor''s alert system command center. The alert system used here was also an older model.


    "Tsk!" Then Yang Bo came to the wall again and looked at the old gunpowder weapons.


    Although these old gunpowder weapons are worthless in Yang Bo''s opinion.


    But those who possess these weapons in the Crimson Federation are no small forces.


    "Dong dong dong." Yang Bo came to the side of a large-caliber machine gun. The caliber of this machine gun was 14 millimeters. It came up with a sudden burst.


    Although these machine guns pose no threat to mechas and fighter planes, they still pose a great threat to drones, robots, and armed soldiers.


    These machine guns have two modes, one is automatic alert mode, and the other is manual.


    Most of the Crimson Federation''s weapons use two modes.


    Because when guys like the Crimson Federation collide, they first paralyze the opponent''s intelligent system.


    Various electronic interference methods, energy bombs, and electromagnetic bombs will interfere with these intelligent systems in a short period of time.


    Although these things do not affect the hardware and software core of the intelligent system.


    But the intelligent system analyzes the data it collects. Electromagnetic bombs and energy bombs mainly interfere with the data it collects.


    Once the data is wrong, the results of the intelligent system are also wrong.


    "It needs to be changed!" Yang Bo felt that this kind of machine gun had a lot of room for improvement, and the entire armed defense system of the base needed to be changed.
