Chapter 724 Jack’s little plan for the future

The story of the great writer and his muse will continue. It is foreseeable that the ambiguity and pull between them will provide joy and conversation for their relatives and friends for a long time to come.

But at the same time, outside their small world, other people's lives will continue, telling their own interesting stories.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" A series of shooting sounds echoed in the basement. Jack pressed the button, and the motor drove a thin steel cable to pull the target paper back in front of him.

"90 rings, a good score, you are the best student I have ever taught."

Hearing Jack's praise, Alexis took off her soundproof earmuffs and smiled, her eyes turning into two crescent moons, "Have you ever taught many people how to shoot? Jack."

"You're the only one for now." Jack made a face, making the little girl very happy.

"My marksmanship is also very good, obviously I can teach you." Kassel, who was sitting aside to rest, felt a little depressed. He always felt that his little cotton-padded jacket had a tendency to defect.

"But Jack is the person with the best marksmanship I have ever seen. I have only seen in your novels the scene where ten bullets were fired and only a hole was left in the bullseye." Alexis just saw her father with her own eyes How badly I lost my bet with Jack.

Cassell gritted his teeth and said, "If you bet on a super LCD TV, I don't believe your performance will always be so stable."

"No more gambling. I'm afraid the proceeds from your next 'Nicky Hitt' series won't be enough to repay your gambling debt."

You can't pluck all the wool. Just now, Cassell had lost all the electrical equipment in the kitchen, as well as the tables, chairs and benches in the attached restaurant. They were all expensive high-end goods, which was enough to give him pain for a long time.

The three of them left this small underground shooting range with only four 20-meter-long shooting tracks. The rumbling sound of decoration outside was deafening.

This is the future new office of Jack's Most Wanted Criminal Team. Currently, less than half of the decoration progress has been completed. The first and second floors have just completed the work of burying water and electricity pipes in the walls. The fastest progress is this huge one. underground garage.

The entire team is currently tentatively composed of up to six people and a few vehicles. After removing a part to reserve for future server rooms, Jack allocated nearly half of the remaining area to build the small indoor shooting range they just used.

In the future, what they will face will be extremely vicious people who are on the FBI's wanted list. Any unexpected situation may happen. Jack cannot conquer everyone, so he is very concerned about maintaining the status of his team members. .

In addition to this underground shooting range, he also planned a large gym on the first floor. In addition to daily fitness equipment, there is also a fighting training room similar to the one specially arranged by Hannah at home.

It can be said that Jack has not wasted any of the funds allocated by the New York office, and there are even a lot of shortcomings. For example, the server room he reserved can only be equipped with an ordinary server for the time being.

In Justin's vision, in order to fully utilize her abilities, a small supercomputer is indispensable. Although it does not need to have the crazy computing power of a laboratory supercomputer, the cost is conservatively estimated to start at one million US dollars. There is no cap on it.

Jack didn't dare to think too much about this for the time being. Firstly, the FBI was not taken advantage of, allowing them to squander funds in such a self-serving way. Secondly, it was difficult for him to explain why a small action team chasing wanted criminals was outside the FBI system. Set up a separate computer center.

All this stems from his worries about a certain drama that year. The main plot of "Person of Interest" took place in New York, plus the news about John Reese's fake death that he obtained during his brief cooperation with the CIA.

Although Harold Finch is still in and out of public view, there are no rumors of injuries due to the bombing, and his partner Nathan is also alive and well. This is consistent with the plot line of the original show. Some are not quite right.

But Jack has long been accustomed to the magic of the world interpreting itself. After all, the CIA-Matt Graver who looked similar to "Thanos" died in front of him like an ordinary supporting character.

If he hadn't been there at the time, even Michael Weston, the absolute protagonist of "Fire Warning", might have died on the spot.

Jack is a character who plans ahead. He is well aware of the trouble-making abilities of the two artificial intelligences in "Person of Interest", so he naturally has to arrange some countermeasures in advance.

Now there is a prototype of a small supercomputing center underground at the Wolfe brothers' farm in Los Angeles. Justine is building her own Internet empire bit by bit. Of course, it is nominally for the future short video platform and control of the trolls. Such preparations.

When the layout of novels and video short drama projects such as Mary Sue and Long Aotian is almost complete, a short video social platform similar to the previous "Tik Tok" will emerge.

Chris has basically completed the preliminary planning work and has begun to recruit people. It is impossible for Justin alone to handle a development project of this scale. The keyboard is useless when it smokes.

This requires the collaboration of hundreds or thousands of programmers, highly experienced project managers, and massive capital investment.

In the early stage, funding is not a problem for the time being. The worst case scenario is that Chris will sell all the paintings in his RV. In the future, there will be mature capital markets in Laos and the United States where he can go public and make money, but talents are rare. Jack even wanted to contact him in advance. Harold Finch's thoughts.

However, after repeatedly struggling with it, he gave up the idea. The impact on the plot was secondary. Without a deep friendship, it was very likely that such an awesome character would occupy the magpie's nest.

So Jack chose to let nature take its course. Apart from telling Chris not to hire too many third brother programmers, especially not to let third brother occupy management positions, he did not interfere at all in other operational work.

It’s not that he is racist, but the lessons learned from Boeing in his previous life make it difficult for him to put his mind at ease with the third brother’s “power of thinking”. This is no longer a matter of stereotypes.

Therefore, it is foreseeable that in the future, there will be two huge data centers in New York and Los Angeles that can back up each other. Behind these two data centers, there are several similar ones hidden under the Wolf Brothers Farm and the FBI Operation Team Office. Underground, a control terminal composed of a small supercomputer is used to ensure Justin's absolute control over this huge network.

In "Person of Interest", artificial intelligence can monitor the entire New York City almost without blind spots through any device with a camera. Jack's requirements are not high, and Justin can control certain permissions on devices such as smartphones and tablets. Can.

If he really wants to achieve this goal, Jack himself still has a long way to go, including the improvement of his position, connections and status within the FBI. Fortunately, the situation is not urgent, and he has plenty of time. A few moves of idle chess.

After all, the initiative is in his hands. As long as he does not encounter a robot that looks like the "Governor" and cannot be killed in the future, then there is no need to worry that the artificial intelligence program called "Machine" created by Harold Finch will evolve into "Skynet" brings about the end of mankind.

No matter how outrageous the plot trend of "Person of Interest" is, the protagonists will be able to bear it if the sky falls anyway. Jack's methods are just preparedness. If he catches up, he will be the best, but if he fails, he will be defeated. At worst, he will hide back in Los Angeles.
