Jin Ling University, computer server room.
Dean Qin patiently waited for Lu Zhou’s “information technology expert”, and when he saw Luo Wenxuan at the door, he was dumbfounded.
“Isn’t this… Professor Luo from the physics department?”
“Yeah…” Luo Wenxuan looked at Dean Qin and said, “Is there a problem?”
“No…” Dean Qin said. He hoped that Luo Wenxuan just happened to be walking by. He asked, “Academician Lu sent you?”
Luo Wenxuan nodded again and said, “Yeah of course, why else would I be here?”
Dean Qin: “…”
Even though he didn’t have high hopes for the Jinling Institute for Advanced Study, he didn’t expect Lu Zhou to send a physics professor.
Has Academician Lu gone crazy?
This is like getting a veterinarian to do brain surgery.
Professor Wang, who was standing next to the server, spoke with an annoyed tone.
“Forget about it, I’ve been here all day. The enemy is an expert. This server is useless. Prepare to reinstall, I’m getting hungry.”
Professor Wang had the only keys to the computer server room.
If Dean Qin weren’t here, he would have left and went to eat a long time ago. He wanted to call the server supplier and ask for them to reinstall the software and replace the hardware.
Dean Qin sighed and looked at Luo Wenxuan as he said, “You should know what’s going on, even our computer science professor is giving up. If you’re here just to reinstall the operating system, you can go.”
Professor Wang was a little comfortable, and he said, “Let me add to that, I’m not giving up, it’s just that we were too late. If I were informed of this earlier, I might have been able to save it. But now that the entire server is fried, I can’t do anything.”
Luo Wenxuan scratched his head and said, “I don’t know what you’re talking about, all I know is that Lu Zhou gave me a USB and asked me to plug it into the servers.”
Professor Wang stepped to the side and made an inviting gesture.
“Come on, go ahead, I want to see what happens.”
“Okay…”
Luo Wenxuan walked up to the server and searched for a while before he finally found a USB port.
Professor Wang looked at his clumsy movements and was speechless.
When Luo Wenxuan finally inserted the USB, he took two steps back and looked at Professor Wang.
“Can you turn it on?”
Professor Wang turned on the server.
The fan in the server began to spin, and the computer screen lit up as if the server was resuscitated. Then, everything turned off again.
Professor Wang looked at the dead machine and impatiently said, “Now what?”
“I’m a physics researcher, I don’t know…”
Luo Wenxuan awkwardly scratched his head and noticed everyone in the server room looking at him. He quickly took out his phone and called Lu Zhou.
The phone was quickly connected.
Luo Wenxuan immediately spoke.
“I plugged in the USB.”
Lu Zhou: “Okay, thanks.”
Luo Wenxuan couldn’t help but ask, “… Now what?”
Lu Zhou said, “… What do you mean?”
Is he asking me to compensate him for the favor?
Come on…
I’ll just buy you lunch next time.
Luo Wenxuan awkwardly scratched his head and said, “I mean, am I… done?”
Lu Zhou smiled and said, “Oh, yeah, you’re done. We just have to sit and wait now. Thanks, you can leave now.”
The USB contained a piece of software written by Xiao Ai. Once the USB was inserted into the server, the software would automatically install itself onto the server.
Once the server data transfer was completed, Xiao Ai would have total control over the server. As long as the server was connected to the Internet, the program installed on the server could open a back door to the quantum computer at the Jinling Institute for Advanced Study.
Then, the hackers wouldn’t be facing some Jin Ling University professor, they would be up against an artificial intelligence quantum computer.
In the binary world, Xiao Ai was the apex predator. Not only because of its own intelligence, but also because of the raw computing power of quantum computers. Xiao Ai had surpassed the binary bottleneck and had the advantage of multi-state qubits…
With this kind of computing power, it could easily fight against the world’s top supercomputers.
However, Luo Wenxuan was a little speechless.
“I thought I would get to witness something.”
Lu Zhou was amused as he said, “Oh yeah? Take out your phone and go on Weibo, you’ll get to witness something soon.”
Luo Wenxuan said, “… Okay, but I feel like the server is still down.”
“Don’t overthink it. Just tell Dean Qin to keep the power and Internet on, just make sure there aren’t any power outages.”
Lu Zhou cleared his throat and spoke.
“I’ll take care of the rest.”
After that, Lu Zhou hung up the phone.
Lu Zhou placed his phone on the table and stretched his back. He stood up from his hotel chair and slowly walked toward the floor to ceiling windows.
It was late into the night.
The brightly lit city lights shined on the window.
It should be day time in America right now.
But there’s a thunderstorm coming.
Lu Zhou looked at the view outside his window and chuckled.
“Xiao Ai.
“You got this.”
A string of text bubbles appeared on his computer screen.
[Yes, Master! (` ・ω・ ́) ゞ]
[Xiao Ai got this! (๑•̀ᄇ•́) و✧]
