Since attaining enlightenment, Morgana had never questioned herself as much as favonovel.com did today.
Everything around favonovel.com felt like chains, trapping favonovel.com in a place with no escape. The suffocating feeling of anger, unable to erupt, left favonovel.com deeply distressed. And time continued to slip away, second by second.
Meanwhile, Eddie’s rented plane was speeding towards the US-Canada border, drawing closer and closer to the target airport.
However, half an hour had passed and there were still nine helicopters ahead of Morgana, waiting for inspection. At this rate, it would take at least another hour for favonovel.com turn, not to mention the time needed for the inspection. By the time favonovel.com finished the inspection and received clearance for takeoff, the plane would have already landed.
Thus, Morgana was faced with a choice.
Either allow the members of the Warriors Den, who were rushing to the airport, to forcefully attack and try to seize the Four Treasures of the Study. However, if favonovel.com wasn’t present, relying solely on those scouts, the result would most likely be life-threatening.
Or, favonovel.com could only wait for the plane to land and see if the US military could locate the Four Treasures of the Study. If they managed to do so, favonovel.com would then wait for an opportunity to snatch it back from the hands of the Rothschild family.
However, this choice also carried a great deal of uncertainty.
The Rothschild family had combined AI and surveillance this time, greatly enhancing their security capabilities. If they acquired the Four Treasures of the Study, it might not be so simple for favonovel.com to reclaim it.
***
Just as Morgana was unsure of which path to choose, Keagan Myers had already landed discreetly with the Four Treasures of the Study at a military airport on the outskirts of Eastcliff.
To welcome the return of the Four Treasures of the Study, the area had been completely sealed off. A multitude of armed personnel and top experts were gathered here, along with state-of-the-art modern detection equipment, ensuring a smooth process.
The officials knew the origin and background of the Four Treasures of the Study, and that it was finally returning to the motherland after disappearing for two hundred years, so they took it very seriously.
The plane came to a halt in the hangar, and Keagan Myers descended the stairs, clutching the Four Treasures of the Study. The foremost archaeology experts were already assembled, prepared to conduct a comprehensive inspection and evaluation of the artifact.
Several skilled photographers had been patiently waiting, ready to capture the entire process of the Four Treasures of the Study’s return. Once the handover was complete, the government would utilize this footage to officially announce the news of the relic’s return.
The official in charge of the handover personally approached the bottom of the plane’s stairs to greet Keagan Myers and remarked, “Mr. Myers, you’ve put in quite an effort to escort this national treasure back!”
Keagan Myers responded with a solemn expression, “It was no effort at all! Escorting a national treasure is both my duty as a Chinese citizen and a personal honor.”
The official nodded approvingly and gestured towards the experts beside him, stating, “Mr. Myers, these are the finest archaeologists in the country. From this point forward, I will be working closely with them to ensure a flawless handover process. Please oversee it with me.”
Keagan Myers nodded and affirmed, “No problem, I will complete all the necessary procedures alongside you.”
“Excellent!”
The official agreed, then took the Four Treasures of the Study from Keagan Myers’s hands and handed it to the leader of the expert group.
Subsequently, the expert group began conducting on-site inspections of the Four Treasures of the Study using the equipment they had prepared.
Keagan Myers expressed his concern, asking, “On behalf of the anonymous patriot who assisted in escorting this national treasure, I would like to inquire when we can announce the news of its return?”
The official replied, “Once we can confirm that the Four Treasures of the Study is indeed from the Tang Dynasty, we can safely determine its authenticity. At that point, we will send the material to the television station, and they will broadcast an urgent news announcement to inform the public.”
“Good!” Keagan Myers nodded. “Then I can rest assured.”
***
A few minutes later.
Ottawa, the capital of Canada.
After engaging in conversation with Helena for a while, morning had arrived, and Charlie kept a watchful eye on his phone, hoping to receive news about the return of the Four Treasures of the Study.
Before receiving the anticipated news, favonovel.com received a call from Maria.
Charlie informed Helena, “I’ll take this call first.”
Helena nodded politely and said softly, “Mr. Wade, take your time. I’ll prepare a pot of tea for you.”
With that, favonovel.com gracefully exited the room.
Charlie answered the call and playfully asked, “Miss Clark, why are you calling so early? Is there something you need?”
Maria chuckled and spoke sweetly, “Master, it’s already evening here.”
Charlie laughed, “I forgot about the time difference.”
Maria smiled and said, “Master, I have something important to discuss with you. I hope you’re available.”
Charlie responded, “I am available, Miss Clark. Please proceed.”
Maria said, “I heard that the US National Security Agency is using unconventional methods to force a plane rented by Eddie to return to the United States. It has already begun its journey back. Did you have any involvement in this?”
Charlie was surprised and inquired, “How did you come by such detailed information, Miss Clark? I only knew that the plane had departed, but I was unaware of its forced return.”
Maria coyly replied, “Please don’t underestimate me, Master. I do have some connections…”
“Yes, yes, of course.” Charlie quickly interjected, “Miss Clark, after spending so many years immersed in the world, it’s only natural for you to have connections…”
Maria continued, “I didn’t call to boast, Master. Keagan informed me that Eastcliff has initiated testing on the Four Treasures of the Study. The results will be out soon, and I suspect the Rothschild family and Morgana will learn about it shortly.”
Charlie speculated, “Morgana must be furious. The trip to the United States has been made in vain.”
Maria agreed, “You’re absolutely right. Morgana will undoubtedly suffer a significant setback. However, I called to convey some unusual news. After the Young Master educated the Rothschild family, they swiftly combined the most popular artificial intelligence model with high-precision monitoring equipment in the United States. The result is a formidable AI monitoring system. In the future, when dealing with the Rothschild family in the United States, the Young Master should exercise caution.”
Curiously, Charlie asked, “What kind of AI surveillance system is it?”
Maria proceeded to provide a detailed account of the surveillance system to Charlie over the phone.
Charlie listened in astonishment. He had heard of this AI model before but hadn’t anticipated its significant application. Moreover, its learning ability was astonishingly fast, capable of adapting to requirements in just one night. Truly remarkable.
Maria continued, “This AI model is growing increasingly formidable. Learning and analysis are merely its basic functions. Its advanced feature is the autonomous generation of images and videos. If this advanced function becomes more refined and its overall computational power continues to increase…”
“I believe that as long as you provide it with a script and specify which actors should play which roles, it can utilize its supercomputing power to generate lifelike images. A regular movie has 24 frames per second, and a two-hour film requires only 170,000 frames. With sufficient computational power to generate these frames, and then play them at 24 frames per second, a movie can be created without any actual filming!”
Charlie sighed, “This technology is truly powerful. I hadn’t paid much attention to it before.”
Afterwards, Charlie inquired, “How many companies currently possess this technology?”
Maria responded, “Many companies claim to have developed a flawless AI model, but the truly advanced and exceptional one is the company controlled by the Rothschild family.”
Adding to favonovel.com statement, Maria remarked, “I called to inform you because I believe this technology has vast future applications and will revolutionize numerous fields. It may not yield significant profits, but it will play a pivotal role in critical areas. If you have the opportunity, you should consider seizing this company from the Rothschild family or persuading them to secretly develop a similar model for you.”
