The newly graduated intern, like someone in a debate, started arguing back with a barrage of questions.

None of the members of the investigation team uttered a sound when questioned.

Only those of us in charge of foreign affairs gave the foreign guests some face, since there were many reporters present. We stepped in to smooth things over and gave them a way out, and the matter was over.

A strange scene unfolded as the event ended: the invited experts fell silent, and the Western media, surprisingly, didn't press for answers; those who did were not even Western journalists.

At this point, the comrade in charge of foreign affairs had already called Xing Baohua, implying that the matter should be put aside for now, and that his people should withdraw. He said that if they continued to pursue the matter, it would be embarrassing for everyone and would not be conducive to friendly relations.

Being aggressive will only create more trouble for the rice company; it's better to avoid making things difficult. Let them handle the rest.

The most common way to appease both sides is to first suppress Xing Baohua and then try to persuade the other side.

But Xing Baohua said to the foreign affairs official, "We can't let them ruin the reputation of rice. You say I want to sue them, but can that get us evicted?"

"It's not good for the image. It's not too late to make trouble after they leave you. If all else fails, have your company's lawyer issue a letter to scare them, but don't actually do it."

The lawyer's letter has already made one point: once the media reports it, everyone will know that Da Mi is innocent. If the other party continues to press this issue, then we will really have to see each other in court.

The foreign affairs department tried to smooth things over and finally persuaded the investigation team to change locations.

Little did they know they were going to the telecommunications department of the post office to inspect the server room.

That doesn't matter; you can look at anything at the civilian level, but the scope has been defined.

The school wouldn't let us see it, the research institute wouldn't let us see it, and only a few tech companies were allowed. I went to a certain place, but to my surprise, they refused.

Just when everyone thought the investigation team was determined to go and see, they turned around and left.

Those who know, know; those who don't, might think someone is trying to be clever, holding back important secrets from the other party under pressure.

What they're trying to do is have their own people investigated by their major electronic capital partners. What's there to investigate?

Xing Baohua and Xiao Tianna are setting up servers at the Taihu Data Base, which will become the largest digital base in China, and even the world.

As long as users of Shield Security or DaMi are using it, the files on their computers will be digitized and converted into data traffic, which will then be stored here.

"With such a large volume of data, we can't expect people to look at each piece of data one by one. To identify the important data, we need search algorithms or keyword algorithms to extract it from the vast amount of data, which greatly reduces the need for manual screening."

“Your idea is good, but the initial workload is enormous, requiring several years or even more than a decade of continuous refinement,” Xiao Tianna replied.

"We are still young, and we can afford to wait."

"Too."

"I recently read a few related papers written by a professor of electrical engineering at the University of California, about the transition to the early stages of global electronic intelligence. It's a very interesting article; you can take a look when you have time."

In his article, he highlighted that a company in Silicon Valley has developed an intelligent robot that can receive simple human commands.

He said that when humans are freed from physically operating robots, it represents the initial stage of intelligent products. He also used the example of the rice smart home appliance to illustrate how intelligence is getting closer to us.

Xiao Tian turned to Xing Baohua and said, "You mean, our next focus should be on developing smart products or related programs?"

"The hardware can't keep up! The amount of data is too large and it's very demanding on hardware. If the computing power can't keep up, everything else is useless, especially when it comes to connecting to the database in the Taihu Data Center. This requires a lot of computing chips to build a controllable search engine system."

Following Xing Baohua's words, Xiao Tian thought for a moment and said, "It is indeed a very large plan. If you want to do it, the investment will be huge, and you will also need several backup machines. With the continuous updates in technology, upgrades will be necessary every year."

"Yes! The initial investment is enormous, and the time span from construction to product launch, and from product launch to profitability is too long, but it is worth doing."

"I have another question. Aren't you afraid of causing huge trouble by collecting data from all over the world and making it public?"

"It's not that we're not afraid, but rather we need to rephrase it. When you search for something, or even an article, what tool do you use to find it? A forum or a website? You simply can't find anything related to it. You don't even have a clue."

However, the emergence of search engines offers them a glimmer of hope, allowing them to find many of the things they desire. We're building a platform; any problems will arise for the websites where data is uploaded. Of course, websites are also platforms; as long as there's no evidence that the upload originated from within the website, it's fine—it's the registered user who uploaded it.

In short, we only found information about a website that published user-uploaded materials; whether they violated regulations or not is completely irrelevant to us.

Xiao Tian instantly understood what Xing Baohua meant. This guy was planning to use the database to create more fake websites. These fake websites could be distributed in many countries, so there could be tens of thousands or even millions of virtual users impersonating him.

This way, the website can absolve itself of responsibility, claiming that any problems should be directed to the user, as it was content uploaded privately by the user. If a website can absolve itself of responsibility, what about a search engine website?

Even if you sue the search website, you won't win because the actual infringement has little to do with the search website; at most, it's just that the review process wasn't strict enough.

However, the lack of strict review criteria and regulations proves that a user searching for an article and clicking on it leads to a specific website.
