In the field of technology manufacturing, Caesar couldn't reach the level of Tony Stark as Iron Man on his own, even though his intellectual growth far exceeded that of an average human being.
Tony's almost over-the-top creative mind and engineering prowess were considered a kind of "Superpower" within the realm of technology, and they still couldn't match the unique ability to assist the Extracting Card System in replication!
However, this didn't mean that Caesar couldn't shoulder the technological research and development burden of Stark Industries. He had the superintelligent AI "God" at his disposal, far surpassing the world's technological standards. With control over all the top manufacturing factories and resources of Stark Industries and the Carl Family, combined with his unique mindset from his previous life on another Earth...
Caesar only needed to provide complete product requirements and ideas, leaving all the theoretical and developmental work to God's computational speculation, and then handing it over to Stark Industries' research and manufacturing teams and workers for further refinement.
At this moment, in Tony's private workshop.
Caesar, acting as the supreme commander, sat at the desk, surrounded by computers on and under the table, with the mainframe fans and liquid cooling systems working hard to cool them down. Several monitors were displaying blue screens, each showing God's distinctive blue sphere logo.
The door opened, and Eddie stepped in, wiping the sweat from his forehead, breathing heavily as he reported to Caesar, "It should be fine now. Three supercomputers in the Stark Industries Technology Park ring are all activated, along with two from the Carl Family, totaling five supercomputers on standby."
Caesar nodded, instructing towards one of the screens, "God, let's run a check first."
"Yes."
God responded through the speakers, and several screens immediately flashed a series of data codes. After a while, with a beep, "Connection to five supercomputers successfully established, ready to utilize their performance and storage for data computation at any time."
"Very good." Caesar snapped his fingers lightly.
Beside him, Eddie asked curiously, "Is it necessary to use all five supercomputers at once? Are we trying to hack into a major country's military database?"
"Don't be ridiculous, even for a military database, God wouldn't even need two supercomputers."
Caesar rubbed his hands impatiently, looking eager to get started, and said with a meaningful smile, "But what we're about to do next, I'm afraid five supercomputers won't be enough."
"Then I'll wait and see." Eddie rolled his eyes, sitting down on a chair, curious to see what kind of idea this little devil Caesar was trying to come up with.
Since everything was ready, Caesar didn't hesitate. He spoke directly, "First of all, God, I need to set up a secure database, one that nobody can hack into or modify, including Vis and J.A.R.V.I.S."
God barely utilized the supercomputers, immediately providing a solution, "Done. The database will be set up in the supercomputer equipment room at the main base, protected by a firewall I'll set up and monitor online. Nobody will have the authority to breach it."
"Hold on, I'm not done yet." Caesar twirled the stick of his lollipop between his fingers, speaking with seriousness beyond his years, "The storage capacity of that database needs to be large."
"How large? Please provide an example." God, unwilling to concede, responded coldly.
Caesar was straightforward, throwing out a staggering condition, "It needs to be able to hold the data equivalent to everything within ten Earths."
"Master, what are you planning to do?" Eddie was a bit dumbfounded, and it seemed even God hadn't anticipated this, as the images on the monitor screens stuttered slightly.
Caesar blinked, saying, "Nothing much, just creating an enormous virtual world. If the realism is high enough, the required data storage must be large enough."
He glanced at the screens, asking, "So, can it be done?"
God remained silent for a moment, then the speakers came back to life after a dozen seconds of silence, "Resolved. The storage facility will be set up at the main base, equipped with compressed memory chips. It's estimated to accommodate the data equivalent to everything within twelve Earths. Starting now, let the technicians begin the hardware modification of the main base. It will only take nineteen hours."
"Well done." Caesar praised lightly. It was impossible for him to achieve such a feat using theoretical knowledge and current technological levels.
But the artificial intelligence God was different. With the technological theories from Earth, Wakanda, and the Planet Sakaar at its disposal, as long as the conditions proposed didn't exceed a certain level of difficulty, God could attempt to tackle the technological challenge through computation.
Caesar didn't beat around the bush and laid out his requirements as planned, "I need a super-strong network signal that can cover at least one major city."
After about half a minute of computation, God responded coldly, "Resolved. Stark Industries will manufacture an extraterrestrial signal tower capable of covering the entire city with a network signal, with an upload speed of up to 100G per second. Construction will commence now, and with Stark Industries' manpower, it's estimated to take three days."
Caesar pondered for a moment before continuing, "Furthermore, I need to construct a super-sized virtual world framework within the database, initially divided into several zones, to meet the system's basic framework for elements such as escaping reality and gaming fantasies..."
On this point, Caesar spoke at length, including some ideas for virtual space regions and settings. He mainly articulated the desired effects, leaving the specific theories and practical implementation to God for computation and judgment.
Before long, God provided a reliable analysis, "According to your requirements, it will take five supercomputers three days to compute and encode each system for a complete, detailed, and high-fidelity virtual world zone."
"Take your time, no rush," Caesar smiled, comforting God instead.
Eddie had been feeling lost in the clouds until now, but finally, he understood. Surprised, he exclaimed, "Master, is the so-called new research product to save Stark Industries a game? A simulated reality game?"
In the year 2009 of the 21st century, electronic games were indeed a major trend with the popularity of computers, smartphones, and other electronic products.
However, Stark Industries developing games? However you looked at it, it seemed a bit of a downgrade. After all, Stark Industries was the leading boss in technology and weapons enterprises!
Sensing Eddie's skepticism, Caesar remained unfazed and confidently stated, "You don't understand. What I'm going to create isn't just a game, but a world."
"A world?"
Eddie muttered to himself, momentarily failing to grasp the concept.
Caesar didn't explain further. He turned to God and said solemnly, "God, there's one last technological challenge we must tackle— I need to create a device, preferably similar in model and size to a helmet, that can serve as a medium for humans to connect their senses and perceptions to the virtual space we're creating."
Eddie was dumbfounded, realizing from everything that had been said before that an incredible black technology product was about to be born.
The studio fell silent.
God didn't respond immediately. The screens continued to flash with data codes. If one were in the supercomputer equipment room at that moment, they would see countless chips and hardware rapidly heating up, while the liquid cooling devices worked frantically, and a massive data stream surged through the cable network.
After a while, God finally responded, "Resolved. The device development is tentatively named 'Holographic VR Helmet Technology'!"
