Chapter 7: A New Starting Point!

While everyone was whispering, President Joseph gradually recovered from his shock.

However, because he was currently looking down at the design drawings, no one could see his absent-minded expression.

After all, it had been a long time since the usually calm, old President had expressed his thoughts toward the exhibits at the Science & Technology Summit.

That was because there was no technology nowadays that seemed to excite him. 

This time, the Science & Technology Summit was just a formality. He didn’t expect to have such a pleasant surprise.

Vice President Robert was also very concerned about this matter.

Whether it was his own thoughts or the President’s, both of them were clear about the significance of the technology proposed by Anderson and how it would affect the world once it was developed.

Robert had not joined the Science & Technology Association for a long time. It had only been a few years and was accepted for his extraordinary talent. He became the vice president because he was very sensitive and knowledgeable about technology and data.

He could almost conclude that there was nothing wrong with the technology proposed by Anderson, and President Joseph’s evaluation was considered the most accurate in the entire association.

The technology that President Joseph had taken a fancy to was definitely not some simple trick.

And through the incredulous expression he had just seen in President Joseph’s eyes, he was almost certain that changing the world was not a pipe dream; it was completely achievable.

Everyone in the meeting room was still discussing the situation in an animated fashion. 

Meanwhile, on the stage, Anderson was quietly looking at the sky as if he was either in deep thought or in a daze.

It was as if everything had nothing to do with him now, unperturbed by what was going on around him. 

In addition to the two president’s attitudes, the audience couldn’t help but have some thoughts about it.

Perhaps, perhaps…

Anderson could really achieve such a high level of technology?

Could he really design such a technology?

However, the moment such a thought appeared, many people immediately denied their own thoughts.

This was impossible!

Was it really that simple?

Just relying on such a young man to come up with such a concept, was he able to complete a technology that would change the course of history as they knew it?

Many people could not accept it.

One had to know that every time they carried out scientific research design and research, they had to invest a large amount of money and manpower.

According to Anderson’s plans, artificial intelligence was not something that could be easily created.

However, the current situation seemed to be…possible to turn into a reality. 

Compared to those who could not accept it, some of them who knew Joseph and Robert better already wanted to have technological exchanges and business cooperation with Anderson.

This was because there was still a huge gap in the world of artificial intelligence.

Regardless of whether all the functions that Anderson wanted to achieve could be implemented, any improvements that could be made would bring about a significant change in the world.

This meant that even Anderson’s unfinished artificial intelligence had great commercial value.

Moreover, such artificial intelligence could be used in too many areas.

Cars, planes, ships, and other vehicles… All of them could be improved.

The aerospace industry could also use such technology.

Even if it couldn’t completely be replaced by artificial intelligence, it could update the entire network intelligence system of the human world.

Time passed slowly for a few minutes.

An old cough sounded and immediately attracted everyone’s attention.

Everyone looked at President Joseph.

Joseph’s gaze was very complicated. His entire body was trembling slightly as if he was a little excited.

Seeing Joseph in this state, everyone present quieted down once again.

As for those who had already participated in several Science & Technology Summits, other than the surprise on their faces, their hearts were even more unsettled.

In the past, President Joseph was a calm researcher, who never showed any sort of excitement or rash emotions on his face in front of others. 

This was the first time they had seen him react in such a way. 

At the same time, seeing President Joseph in such a state, Robert was very excited but was able to hide his inner state well.

However, it was obvious that President Joseph had already made a decision in his heart.

President Joseph slowly exhaled, looked at Anderson, and said, “Anderson, come with me.”

After saying that, he stood up from his chair and walked toward the door of one of the meeting rooms. 

However, halfway through, he suddenly remembered something and stopped walking. He then turned to Robert, “Take a break for ten minutes. The exhibition will continue after that!”

Robert nodded and looked at the others helplessly.

To be honest, he did not want to stay in this boring Science & Technology Summit.

The key to the door of a new era was about to appear. Although he could not be a participant in it, he was satisfied to have been just a witness.

This Anderson could have come yesterday or even tomorrow.

Why had he decided on doing this today?

No, next time, someone else had to host the summit.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to contain himself if this happened during the next summit.

Just now, in Anderson’s demonstration, he saw the name of the folder: Iron Suit.

From the name, it was obvious that Anderson’s goal was to build a suit of armor.

Artificial intelligence was just a subdirectory of the iron suit.

In short, Anderson’s AI was a program for this particular iron suit. 

Maybe Anderson wanted to build a robot that could operate an iron suit like in the movies.

To do that, he divided up a lot of technical directions and sorted all the files neatly.

There were even some blank folders labeled ‘untitled’.

This also meant that he actually had a general idea of what he wanted. Otherwise, he would never have casually filled out such a file name.

In Anderson’s mind, everything was being prepared for him to unleash his iron suit to the world.

That included things like ‘Alloy-elemental titanium’, which was also in the sub-directory of ‘Artificial Intelligence’, and some other untitled folders.

Perhaps next time, Anderson would bring him a new surprise!

Robert calmed himself down and prepared to carry on with the boring technology demonstration.

On the other side, President Joseph’s two assistants slowly pushed open the door.

The sunlight shone in, causing the people in the venue to involuntarily cover their eyes.

At this moment, Anderson smiled. He looked at the door and felt that his future was now filled with hope and endless possibilities.

This door was his new starting point!

Soon, he disconnected his phone from the projector. Under the crowd’s envious gaze, he walked out of the exhibition without looking back..
