The artificial intelligence of the Chitauri mothership was only a prototype, far inferior to the Red Queen in terms of intelligence.
But no matter what, it was still artificial intelligence. It carried a considerable amount of Chitauri culture and knowledge, something different from the specific technologies the Red Queen had already extracted.
If those classified technologies could greatly enhance Earth's military strength, then this Chitauri AI could rapidly improve Earth's foundational development.
At Xu Dan's command, the Red Queen immediately went to work.
The data cluster trapped inside the cage had almost no ability to resist. In an instant, the Red Queen forcibly tampered with its core program.
"Master, it's done. Do you need to give it a name?"
Xu Dan shook his head. "No need. You manage it."
He had no interest in dominating such a low-level AI. For intelligence of this level, he could write one himself.
The only reason to keep it was for what it had learned.
The Red Queen worked quickly. Not long after their conversation ended, Antarctic Company's unmanned transport aircraft docked with the Chitauri mothership.
Cleaning up the corpses inside the battleship was actually extremely heavy work. At the time, a large number of Chitauri had still been hidden on the ship, but their lifeforms were special and had been easily wiped out.
Even the corpses scattered across New York City would require many days of specialized personnel to clean up—let alone the interior of this enclosed battleship.
Many people might think that removing bodies was enough, but in fact, after transportation, thorough disinfection procedures were also required.
From the unmanned transport aircraft, batches of conventional robots slowly walked down. These robots were relatively low-cost. Their role was simply labor; they didn't need advanced appearance or equipment.
Under the Red Queen's command, they began a mechanical and comprehensive cleanup of the battleship's interior.
This would take a long time.
Xu Dan temporarily left the Chitauri mothership.
Back in the city, looking up, although the appearance of the Chitauri battleship had not changed, it somehow no longer gave off that oppressive feeling.
The technologies obtained from the Chitauri spoils had to be put into production at Antarctic Military Industries.
First of all: the development of the Chitauri's two main weapon types.
Weapons were never good things—but for an Earth that had just experienced an alien invasion, advanced weapons were now the most desired.
During the invasion, even the U.S. military had seen that it was largely discriminated mutants and a few superheroes who resisted the aliens.
Those people all possessed something of their own to counter the Chitauri army.
Imagine if it had been an ordinary national army against the Chitauri. Would the result have been the same?
The enemy's weapons could be fired like rapid artillery, while human weapons might take half a day to kill a single Chitauri.
On the battlefield, such a small difference could trigger a chain reaction. Without using suicidal weapons, humanity would ultimately be defeated.
Therefore, after acquiring a large amount of Chitauri military technology, the first thing Xu Dan thought of was individual weapons.
Modern Earth had no shortage of weapons of mass destruction—but those were last-resort options.
Individual equipment, however, had barely changed in the past decade.
Since human armies first began using firearms, the state of things had remained largely the same. At most, guns had become more accurate and more powerful, but there had never been a qualitative leap.
Xu Dan intended to change that.
From the last time he exported equipment to various countries, it was clear he had been planning super-individual equipment since the very first order after Antarctic Military Industries was established.
Most of those had been redeemed from CrossFire, then processed, with safety procedures added. They could only be used against extraterrestrial life.
In terms of raw power, Chitauri technological firearms were somewhat stronger.
Now, he would implement this technology within Antarctic Military Industries and begin mass production.
Exchanging equipment one by one versus serial production across an entire industrial system were completely different concepts.
On the production lines of Antarctic Military Industries, robots performed nearly all the work. Real people stayed in research rooms developing theory and technology. For outside labor-intensive work, he didn't want to recruit idle personnel.
After all, this was the arms industry.
If he ended up nurturing another Obadiah, that would be like courting death.
——————————
While production was in full swing here, leaders from various countries were already discussing a major issue at an international conference.
The meeting had been convened at the initiative of the U.S. President.
There was no choice—the alien invasion had taken place in New York, and now Xu Dan was hovering the Chitauri mothership overhead.
"I propose using armed force to launch a compulsory strike against Xu Dan. His actions have always been excessive. No matter how great his contribution to society, he cannot be allowed to be so arrogant!"
"Well… Representative of the island nation, I advise you to be careful. The topic we're discussing concerns the fate of humanity. Don't let unpleasant matters arise because of your previous incident—and don't forget the person who once saved the world."
Previously, Antarctic Military Industries had released a batch of firearms, and the island nation had been on the purchase list.
But at the time, Xu Dan had emphasized the contract terms. They ignored them and even attempted to use those firearms to harm innocent civilians. As a result, one-third of their navy had been lost.
Even if the matter were taken to the International Court, Xu Dan would still win, because everything had been clearly written in the contract.
"Hmph. Continue."
"Everyone, after this alien invasion, you should understand that Earth has always been in danger. No one can guarantee that the sky won't open again tomorrow. No one can guarantee where such a rift might appear. Yet some among us are still secretly using underhanded methods for selfish interests. That is what I want to address…"
