347: Sharing

The base already had a local area network, but internet-connected devices were not widespread.

The previous community lacked entertainment features and functioned more like a company intranet.

Because the population was small before, there was no demand for online social interaction, and the intranet existed primarily for work-related purposes.

Now, things are different; the area enclosed by the walls is equivalent to three super-large cities, with populations both above and below ground.

For over 2 million people, establishing an online community is actually very suitable.

Moreover, with an online community, those who have been optimized and are idle can also find ways to make a living.

The construction of the base's internet is not complicated; with the existing local area network as a foundation, Three can quickly establish an online community according to Tian Ming's requirements.

During a meal, Tian Ming told Shen Yuan his idea, and Shen Yuan nodded repeatedly after hearing it; she strongly agreed with Tian Ming's idea.

"Husband, can I tell you something?" Shen Yuan asked.

"What is it? Go ahead!"

"Let me manage the base's internet; I'm quite interested in it, and I've been bored lately, so I can help you," Shen Yuan said with a smile.

At this moment, Xiao Xiao, lying in her crib, made gurgling sounds.

Tian Ming knew that this little one wanted to go out and play again.

He waved his hand, and a Nanometer Avatar appeared, enveloping Xiao Xiao.

Xiao Xiao looked as if she was wearing a miniature armor, like a small Iron Man.

Xiao Xiao floated directly and flew towards the dining table.

"You can manage it.

I'll share Three's permissions with you so you can communicate directly with Three.

As long as you're within the base, no equipment is needed."

Shen Yuan nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, okay, then I'll be the boss of our base's online community from now on."

Xiao Xiao floated beside her mother, giggling at her mother's excited expression.

"Two, from now on, Xiao Xiao is with you.

She can't speak yet, so protect her.

She can go wherever she wants, but she cannot leave the base," Tian Ming said.

"Yes, Master!"

Shen Yuan raised an eyebrow and asked, "What, are you tired of holding your daughter already?"

Tian Ming smiled and said, "How could that be? But holding her makes it inconvenient to do things.

Isn't it great to have Nanometer Avatar Two as a nanny?

My current avatars are very strong; they're the strongest nannies in the world."

As he was speaking, a mechanical tentacle extended from behind Xiao Xiao's mech, like an octopus's arm.

The tip transformed into a spoon, scooping up a spoonful of fish soup.

Xiao Xiao looked at the food with excitement, which greatly surprised Tian Ming.

"Are you out of your mind? The baby hasn't even had her full month yet, and you're feeding her fish soup?" Shen Yuan was terrified, looking at Tian Ming with a reproaching expression.

"I wasn't controlling Two; it was Xiao Xiao herself."

Tian Ming felt both surprised and delighted because Two's feedback told him that Xiao Xiao's consciousness was directly connected to Nanometer Avatar Two.

This little baby, who couldn't speak, was actually able to control her father's avatar directly.

The avatar was like a robot; Tian Ming was the primary user of the avatar, and Xiao Xiao, as his daughter, was the secondary user of the avatar.

"Two, strictly prohibit feeding anything that cannot be eaten at this stage," Tian Ming said.

Xiao Xiao brought the fish soup to her mouth, but it was a few centimeters short and couldn't reach her mouth at all.

The little girl immediately became unhappy and started crying out anxiously.

After all, the Nanometer Avatar was still Tian Ming's Nanometer Avatar.

Xiao Xiao, as his daughter, could use it, but she was restricted by Tian Ming.

Shen Yuan looked at Tian Ming and asked, "Are you saying the child can control your avatar with her consciousness?"

Tian Ming nodded slightly and said, "I just discovered it too, but it requires my authorization.

I made Two a nanny, and Two is in a protective state for Xiao Xiao, so Xiao Xiao's consciousness can connect to Two."

Shen Yuan was delighted and said, "That's great!

Come on, let Two translate what the baby wants to say now?"

Tian Ming smiled and said, "Two, simulate Xiao Xiao's voiceprint and translate the sounds coming from Xiao Xiao's mouth into a language we can understand."

Two replied, "Master, are you sure you want to do this? The little master has not yet formed a concept of language, and her conscious expressions might be translated into gibberish by me!"

Tian Ming pondered for a moment, then said, "Then try to translate it and see what Xiao Xiao really wants to express."

"Damn it, eat eat eat... can't eat it, Mom, that, give it to me!"

Shen Yuan couldn't help but laugh when she heard this translation, saying, "Forget it, it sounds like nonsense.

Although I roughly know what it means, let's wait for the baby to learn to speak herself!"

Tian Ming also laughed and nodded, "But today was an unexpected gain.

The baby can not only boost Ability Users but also control my avatar."

"Hmm, but we can't let her control the avatar and run around randomly; she's too young after all.

Set a range for her; the entire base is too big, and we won't be able to find her if she gets lost."

Tian Ming, however, smiled and said, "Don't worry, she won't get lost.

Two is not completely controlled by the child; it has its own thoughts.

It won't go to dangerous places, and the child can't go there even if she wants to.

You can call Two back through Three or check Two's location."

Shen Yuan nodded: "Okay, now that you say that, I feel relieved."

After they finished eating, with a wave of a hand, the plates and bowls were spotless, like new.

Tian Ming stood up and said, "I need to go out and replicate two million smartphones."

"Okay, good.

I'll stay home and optimize the community."

Tian Ming nodded, preparing to leave, but Xiao Xiao directly floated after Tian Ming.

Indeed, Xiao Xiao thought her father was going out to play again and quickly followed.

Shen Yuan rolled her eyes and said, "Your daughter really loves to join in on the fun.

She's so energetic before even a month old; when she gets a little older, she'll probably wear you out."

Tian Ming laughed heartily: "What's there to be afraid of? Her dad can handle anything."

Tian Ming took Xiao Xiao to the base's research center and retrieved two of the strongest civilian-grade internet-connected devices from inside.

These devices could be called smartphones, but not entirely; besides a fixed screen, they also had virtual projection capabilities and could perform biometric recognition.

Their powerful functions made them more than sufficient as personal smart devices.

"Three, contact the current manager of the investment company and ask him to come over."

"Yes, Master!"

Three quickly contacted the investment company and conveyed Tian Ming's message.

The current manager of the investment company, upon hearing that Tian Ming was looking for him, dared not delay in the slightest and rushed to the research center.

Before long, a young man appeared at the entrance of the research center.

This person was named Zhao Hai, the current manager of the investment company.

He looked about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, dressed in a neat suit, with a professional smile on his face.

As soon as he entered the research center, he saw Tian Ming and Xiao Xiao floating beside him.

Zhao Hai respectfully bowed to Tian Ming and said, "Mr. Lu, you were looking for me?"
