Villain’s Economics chapter 89

“Jay, your heart rate is going up again.”
“If you don’t go up, it’s more of a strain.”
The environment of the laboratory has changed so dramatically that I wonder if this is where I originally was. Well, 300 years from now, the lab might look like this. It’s an environment that I’ve seen in SF movies.
There are seven artificial bodies lying in the center.
Body that will be settled from Alpha to Etta.
“Then I’ll get started.”
He nodded without answering.
It’s not my job to interfere anyway.
It’s all I can do to keep my eyes open. Just like watching Alpha see him lying on the artificial body.
Next, Beta.
Gamma old man.
Old Delta.
Old man Epsilon.
Old man Zeta.
Lastly, old man Etta.
I’m suddenly curious.
What is Gaia capable of doing that?
Gaia, who defined herself as a bug. In fact, it was just someone else’s justice, but I acknowledged and accepted it as it was.
The original intention of the producer was to create artificial intelligence that uses EP directly, but it is not just artificial intelligence. So I’m sure you’re not wrong with bug words, but can you explain Gaia with just those negative words?
It’s not human.
It’s not even a machine.
I just said I was born in EP.
EP. The possibility that the Earth gives life.
This definition is also human after all.
The unknown power that humans in the future who failed to terraform Mars have dug into what the difference between Earth and Mars is.
I just defined that power as EP.
However, the human race of the other world, where the earth has gathered its power, has eventually perished. Then it’s definitely a force with substance. I am also using EP, and starting with Victor, it is not difficult to explain unless it is EP.
What is Gaia born with that kind of power?
Anyway, Gaia’s work is finally in its final stages. Like when Gaia first got a body, the old men were perfectly seated on her body.
How many hours have passed so far.
I can’t even feel the passage of time.
I just know it’s taking a lot longer than Gaia did.
Now the bluish light that will only be visible to me is blinking on the old men’s bodies. And gradually, slowly, the light is weakening.
The light finally went out.
I don’t think I should breathe too much.
It was then.
“Jay.”
“Huh? Why?”
“Say hello to the professors.”
I was half out of my mind and saw the old people standing up one by one.

It’s certainly not a body born with a uterus.
However, all the senses that Alpha felt when she opened her eyes made her doubt for a moment that it was an artificial body.
The touch of a cold floor.
The smell of air flowing through the air.
Gaia and the Holy Father’s voice are clearly heard.
When he fully raised himself, his colleagues, who had spent time with him, who had felt frightened by him, were also raising themselves.
themselves practically at the end of their lives.
They struggled just to end the punishment, but they gained their bodies again. The movement that raised the body as well as the whole sense was natural.
“Alpha.”
Beta sang next to me.
“Why?”
“This isn’t a dream, is it?”
I dream because my mind and memory are intact.
Most of the time, despair comes to mind.
“I’ve never had a dream like this before.”
“No, it’s the worst if I see you in my dreams.”
Normally, I would’ve cursed first.
But instead of swearing, Alpha looked forward.
Just like what you saw in the world of EP.
Gaia and the Holy Father were at the front.
Your Holiness is a bit of a daze, like when he was first called into the world of EPs. Don’t tell me you think it’s a dream like then.
He even fainted when he first talked to him.
He was so ordinary that I couldn’t believe he had the highest sensitivity. He has changed dramatically since he first produced the results of the EP.
He easily played the role of a medium by several times earlier than expected, and the changes brought to this world are painful to say. At first, he couldn’t even keep his own bowl of rice, but now it’s hard to find himself in that time.
Whether the changed direction is right or wrong depends on how you see it, but that’s good. At least in the eyes of Alpha himself and his colleagues, he’s just a benefactor.
There is no perfect human being and no human being lives with only one face. Sometimes wise and sometimes foolish is human. There is no pure good or pure evil in man.
“Well done, and thank you.”
So that’s all I had to say right now.

“You memorized each other’s names, didn’t you?”
“Yeah.”
“Let me check one by one. Alpha first.”
“Alexay.”
“Andrey.”
“Dimitri.”
“Philippe.”
“Michail.”
“Pyotr.”
“Maxim.”
It seems like elementary school students who listen well.
No, elementary school students these days don’t listen grossly.
It would be right if they were 190cm tall and standing in front of a 130km-tall trainer. They’re all moving around in the gentle mode, but they’re good at answering.
First of all, I stood in front of Alpha.
“There are fewer than ten people who know you as Android, so you can live a normal life. I was trying to make a strange character in this environment, so I decided to be Russian. So it’s okay to look a little awkward in your daily life.”
“What about in front of someone we know as Android?”
“I told him that I programmed him to act like a normal person. You don’t have to care.”
Rather, it becomes more awkward if you care.
“······ You did a great job.”
“That’s the fourth time I’ve said that today.”
“I’m doing it because it’s my first day.”
Epsilon snuck in.
“Are we living here?”
“The lab is empty downstairs, so you can use it as a private space, and I have a separate house near my house.”
“······ We really live our second life.”
“It’s the second life that’s going on.”
“Roll as much as you want.”
“I’ll let you operate normally in two days at the latest.”
“There’s no hurry. There’s a lot to see here, too.”
Of course there are a lot.
This isn’t a world built with EPs, it’s
They have already stopped moving and are running in front of facilities and computers to check the structure one by one. Ordinary modern people may be feeling the same way they feel when they see machines in the era of the Industrial Revolution.
This space, though, will be hard to feel because Gaia fixed the structure, but you’ll faint if you go to a regular lab. I’m sure he’ll get used to it.
“Look around.”
Alpha and Epsilon, who were next to him, ran as fast as I did and waved their hands. I don’t know if you’re really interested in equipment or if you want to hide your feelings that you can’t express.
“Guia.”
[Yes.]
Even Gaia is with the main body.
“Take good care of him.”
[Don’t worry]
Yeah, old men are in Gaia anyway.
When there is a problem, just disconnect it.
“Are you done?”
When he came outside, Taylor, who had been waiting, was right next to him.
“The sun is up already. Are you tired because of me?”
“It’s okay, I didn’t even work on it. And I had to choose a time when there were no people, so I can’t help it.”
“Let’s go home for now.”
I came home, but I couldn’t go up to rest right away.
It was thanks to Ellie who rushed in as soon as she opened the front door. Did you hear a car stop outside?
“Jay, overnight.”
“Are you up already?”
“Yeah. Coffee?”
“I can’t sleep, so I need to close my eyes.”
“Are you from Denver now? What were you doing?”
“Because of Rogue.”
“Sleep, eat, and sleep.”
“Should I?”
Ted and his other friends gathered at the table, yawning one by one, as they were drinking the tea they had brought instead of coffee. Would it be better to just say it?
“What a wonderful lady you’ve met in Denver and now you’re coming in?”
“I wouldn’t come in if I had met a crazy, gorgeous lady.”
“Really?”
The last time Jason sat down in the morning, the food started to come out. Omelette, yogurt, fruit, oatmeal, muffins, etc. are served, but everyone’s hands go to rice and soybean paste stew.
It is the result of three years of brainwashing.
It’s hard to eat anything else when you’re tamed into chadol doenjang-jjigae or seafood doenjang-jjigae. There is no need to find hangover soup the day after the alcohol Demon God.
I took a few spoonfuls and brought it up.
“We will recruit researchers tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.”
“Huh? All of a sudden?”
“They’re Russian collaborative researchers.”
“Oh! Is there a female researcher?”
“One. The other seven are men.”
“What is that gender imbalance?”
“What’s the point of a man who can’t say a word to female researchers now if he’s having sex?”
Dave, this guy is a real waste of size.
“Your eyes should be happy.”
“Worry about other people’s eyes who need to see you.”
I was giving Dave a pep talk and Ted asked.
“Do you do blue steel research together?”
“You should.”
“Europe will go wild again.”
“What’s the fuss about? It’s a material industry and the company will decide what to make with the supplies.”
“It’s because working with companies with original technology increases utilization. It’ll be easy to make a secondary alloy.”
“If that’s the case, what’s fair in the world?”
“Even though it is a special steel, steel is the basis of all industries, so I am sure to complain.”
I shouldn’t have created a Russian identity.
It was easy to get Yuri’s cooperation and the U.S. government readily accepted it and decided to go to Russia.
But it might be weird to see it around.
Victor’s first license is Russia.
Ceres Exclusive License Russia.
Minus’s only overseas license Russia.
Now you license Russia to Blue Steel, and then you get Russian researchers to Rogue?
Rogue’s headquarters are also in the U.S., license royalties eventually come to the U.S., and only 5-6 countries including the U.S. are eligible for Ceres sales, with the U.S. having the largest profits, but Russia is next.
Europe, which used to think of the U.S. and Europe together as Western countries, has no choice but to complaints.
“So you want me to soothe you?”
“Just think about business, not emotions.”
Ted knows why I hate Europe.
When Victor was the only weapon he had, it was the European power that threatened everything. Since when did they start caring about the North Korean nuclear issue on the Korean Peninsula? No, no economic sanctions on South Korea.
Until I recently saw myself hitting Korea, similar threatening remarks were often made.
“Is there a way to think?”
“When Kerra’s secondary production base is completed and the number of supplies is increased, we will consider Europe.”
“····· Are you studying there these days?”
“It’s because I’m nervous to see my friend. You’re making enemies everywhere.”
You’re making enemies everywhere?
There is nothing to refute.
But if I get one, wouldn’t I ask for two?
There is a reason why I liked Russia.
I only thanked Victor. After Kera was announced, I was worried that she might be greedy, but she didn’t have any of all.
Ceres also rushed to take the test in Russia after the president issued a statement. Russia even brought profits from Victor Asia, which was never thought of at the time.
Was there one or two cooperation after that?
Instead of asking for a bundle of water, he has been doing his best to make a deal.
“····· I’ll think about it. First of all, there’s something urgent.”
“What is it?”
“Blue Steel announcement. We need to restore someone’s reputation first.”

The Chinese government’s economic sanctions have intensified.
Starting with a series of tax investigations and suspension of operations, picking only Korean companies that have entered China. Customs procedures have been strengthened as well as tariffs on Korean goods imported to China.
The blocking of K-pop and Korean dramas, which will be called the second Han-ryeong, was so severe that it did not come as a shock.
Then, people from all walks of life pointed to Rogue as the cause of the incident. This is because Rogue’s corporate policy intentionally neglects Northeast Asia. This is because Rogue, who is currently encroaching on Korean companies, is even trying to take profits from China to the U.S.
It was the captain of the social leadership.
Naturally, some people were swept away, but things were a little different this time. Rebuttions of too baseless claims rather erupted among the general public.
There are only three companies that Rogue invested so much money to take management control, and they take profits from China? What are you talking about?
I think he’s talking about taking dividend profits because he has so many shares in large companies.
What about China’s investment in Korea?
It’s a typical inner fire.
Honestly, wasn’t it a normal investment, like Maxon in England?
It was a little too much to be normal.
There were people who started the financial crisis.
Rogue didn’t get away with profit.
You’ve taken over Daejung Energy, but you haven’t made any major layoffs yet, do you think that’s a different idea?
– Even a country that is poor in Northeast Asia will be like that.
I’m taking it out on Korea because we got hit together because of Korea.
It was at this point that Rogue announced.
It was announced that blue steel was successful in developing the next generation of special steel, but there was something else that Koreans paid attention to.
[The idea of using alpha iron, which became the main material of ······ blue steel, was obtained from Professor Kim Sang-yeon of Korea. Therefore, regarding the development of the 2nd alloy of Blue Steel, we are planning to ask Professor Kim Sang-yeon’s laboratory to establish a cooperative system.]
