These are no ordinary insects stealing trade secrets; they are spies from Organization S. Just like when they were dealing with the Tang Group, their neural network technology also firmly attracted their attention.

Therefore, he and Yuan Yuqin had long ago laid a trap, even deliberately revealing a flaw, just waiting for the other party to fall into the trap.

"Fantastic! Absolutely fantastic!"

Witnessing a cyber battle firsthand, Wan Shi couldn't help but stand up and applaud. Like the scientists, the security team working tirelessly behind the scenes to protect research data deserves equal respect.

Tang Yue closed his laptop: "Uncle Wan shouldn't need to go out, right? For your safety, the entire building will be closed for a while."

The next month will be the most critical phase of the research, and also the time when the S organization will launch intensive attacks.

Looking at Tang Yue's serious face, Wan Shi nodded and said, "Okay."

A storm is brewing outside.

After a barrage of interrogations, the police finally obtained crucial intelligence: a hacker, unable to withstand the pressure, confessed to the existence of Tang Zhanhang. Following the clues, they finally found the hidden network in Beijing—the Yao family!

Within a month, two listed groups went bankrupt in succession, casting a pall of gloom over the entire city of Jiangcheng.

Many people were secretly wondering if the Yu Group would be the next to go bankrupt, but as the first episode of the 3T Challenge documentary aired, the Yu Group's stock price soared instantly.

Everyone was stunned.

Yu Wan is hardly a spoiled brat; he's clearly a hidden genius!

These scientists are certainly not short of money; the fact that they were able to be brought together is enough to prove that this technological research is genuine.

The entire scientific community was in an uproar. A news channel even interviewed Professor Li, a titan of physics, only to find him looking quite aggrieved: "Those old guys aren't as good as me."

This...this is jealousy!

He was jealous because Yu Wan didn't let him participate in the research!

"No, I have to get to Jiangcheng right away. I might even witness history." In front of the camera, Professor Li not only had his assistant book his plane ticket, but also quickly packed his suitcase, leaving the reporter bewildered in the wind.

Netizens across the country are glued to their computers every day, with reports every few days claiming to have spotted a top scientific researcher in Wuhan. The streets are filled with armed forces responsible for security, creating an atmosphere of excitement and seriousness comparable to the 2008 Olympics.

As a result, Yu's stock price soared to an even higher point.

Having made a fortune, Yu Jianguo understood the importance of avoiding direct confrontation. He immediately donated tens of millions of yuan to impoverished mountainous areas and various arts and crafts organizations, and his supermarkets and stores offered discounts on daily necessities, benefiting the people.

Those who were secretly plotting to cause trouble were dumbfounded. Who would dare to cause trouble for the Yu Group at this critical juncture? Netizens across the country would not stand for it.

In the following period, a nationwide learning craze swept the country, with many variety shows and movies being filmed related to artificial intelligence.

The popularity of the TV series has soared, and the stock prices of companies in related fields have also risen to varying degrees.

The violin competition, which was originally highly anticipated, proceeded to the finals in a state of complete neglect.

"Aunt Xiao, may I come in?" Ji Yun Chu knocked gently on the door, and only unlocked it after receiving permission.

The heavy curtains were drawn, plunging the room into darkness.

Xiao Ling was curled up on the sofa, staring intently at the tablet computer, seemingly lost in thought.

As Ji Yun Chu entered, she smelled a strong odor of alcohol. She frowned slightly and softly called out, "Aunt Xiao?"

Xiao Ling looked up at her, her expression momentarily dazed.

Ji Yun Chu knew what she was looking at; she was seeing Yu Wan through her own eyes. Thinking of this, her nails dug deeply into her palms. No matter how hard she tried, she seemed unable to escape Yu Wan's shadow. How could she not hate her?

"I heard you hadn't eaten, so I brought you some porridge." She smiled sweetly, placed the porridge on the coffee table, and then turned on the living room light.

Xiao Ling seemed to only just realize who she was, looking listless, and casually put the tablet computer aside.

Ji Yun Chu glanced sideways and immediately saw Yu Wan's bright and beautiful face. She was so jealous that she almost broke the disposable chopsticks.

While drinking her porridge, Xiao Ling asked, "How's your practice of that piece of music I gave you last time coming along?"

"I'm quite skilled at it now, but I'm not quite sure how to capture the emotions," Ji Yun Chu replied honestly. "How about I try another song?"

"No way!" Xiao Ling angrily slammed down her spoon, splashing porridge everywhere. "You have to play the Concerto No. 5 in A minor and win the championship with it."

She was unusually persistent in her dedication to the piece, which made Ji Yun Chu suspect that it was related to Yu Wan. So what was she? Even if she won the violin competition, what would it mean?

Several times, the words of questioning almost came out of her mouth, but she held back. Xiao Ling was extremely controlling; if anyone disobeyed her in the slightest, they would be verbally abused or even slapped. With a mother like that, it's no wonder her own daughter didn't acknowledge her.

"Don't go to school these next few days, practice the piano with me." At that moment, Xiao Ling suddenly made a firm decision, without considering her feelings at all.

Ji Yun Chu couldn't help but say, "But I still have classes."

"Smack!"

Suddenly, she felt a slap on the face, a burning pain shooting through her. Ji Yun Chu lowered her eyelashes, concealing the anger and coldness in her eyes. She would settle this score sooner or later!

Xiao Ling snorted coldly and ordered, "Go to the practice room and practice the piano now. Don't stop without my permission."

"Yes." Ji Yun Chu turned around, her fingers tracing the button on her chest, a mocking smile spreading across her lips. Once she had a firm footing, she would expose Xiao Ling's ugly face to the world.

-

Another month has quietly passed.

On this day, bursts of laughter erupted from the laboratory.

The crowd celebrated wildly, embracing one another in droves, tears welling in their eyes.

It was a success!

They succeeded!

Although it was only less than two months, with the support of Yuwan's experimental data accumulated over the past three years and such a large scientific team, the successful development was inevitable.

The combination of neurons and AI can be applied not only to holographic games but also to the medical field. It might even be used to awaken people in a vegetative state or restore the health of paralyzed people... This would be a major innovation for the human world!

“I have already applied for the technology and submitted the research results to the country.” Yu Wan took out a USB flash drive from her pocket and handed it to Guan Kui: “I know you are researching quantum science. This is some data I compiled in my spare time. Happy birthday.”

Guan Kui was stunned for a long time before hugging her with great joy: "Yu Xiaowan, how can you be so outstanding!" She was extremely satisfied with this birthday gift, beyond satisfied.

Only when I hugged her did I realize how incredibly thin the person in my arms was, as if they would break if I exerted too much force.

Guan Kui felt a mix of emotions. When someone more talented than you works even harder, all that remains is endless admiration.

Her eyes welled up with tears. "Next time we meet, I hope you've gained ten pounds."
