After the meeting, Jiang Chen knew the location of He Qianjian. However, he did not have time to pay attention to this matter. Instead, he quickly attended another meeting.
The meeting was still held in the city, but the venue was moved from the auditorium to a small conference room that required multiple identity verifications to enter. There were no more than twenty people present, and they brought together the country's top political and technological figures.
Jiang Chen sat at the very end, next to him was the president of the Academy of Sciences. The old man had gray hair, and when he saw Jiang Chen sitting down, he frowned slightly. It was already quite exaggerated that he was the keynote speaker at the previous meeting at such a young age, but he didn't expect that he would also participate in this meeting.
"President Huo." Jiang Chen saw the old man's confusion and did not explain. He just greeted him politely and said nothing more.
The previous meeting was more about introducing the DTW system and the Yangtze River, as well as making the successful tracking research during this period public. The topic of this meeting is more serious - whether the intelligence data currently found should be shared with other countries immediately.
Changjiang has currently collected a lot of evidence that the DTW system is unusual and may have an adverse impact on the Earth, or even lead to the outbreak of a world war, but it is not conclusive. Moreover, according to the analysis results, if Changjiang had not been developed, it would take at least fifty years for the system to collect Earth data unimpeded and launch a planetary war.
Fifty years is equivalent to most of many people's lives. During this period, there are too many preparations that can be made and too many complicated issues to consider. From a utilitarian point of view, at least for the current people in power, such a long time will not have any impact on his career. Even if the domestic decision-makers unanimously decide to resist foreign enemies first, what about the people in power in other countries?
The exposure of the DTW system is more likely to not only fail to promote unity among countries, but also lead to conflicts and wars. China, which owns the Yangtze River, may be on top of the mountain temporarily, but it will not be invincible. Everyone here knows how ugly the consequences of ambition and greed can be.
Even in China, there are different voices. Today's meeting is to unify internal ideas. This meeting lasted for six hours, and in the end, the minority defeated the majority, and the old man at the top made the final decision to share this intelligence with every country on the earth.
Jiang Chen breathed a sigh of relief when he came out of the meeting room.
He had never thought that he would sit in a meeting of such magnitude as a participant. At that time, he thought that he could only act according to orders and was prepared to do so. However, deep down, he still hoped that before facing such major difficulties, all countries and races on the earth could unite and face this disaster that would come at an unknown time.
"Xiao Jiang."
Jiang Chen stopped and respectfully faced the old man who was shorter than him.
The solemnity on the old man's face faded a little, and he raised his hand and patted Jiang Chen's shoulders twice, with a gentle force that seemed to weigh more than a thousand pounds.
"Do your best."
Jiang Chen clenched his hands into fists and said word by word: "Do my best."
The old man nodded and left first.
"Where is He Qianjian?" Jiang Chen put on his headphones, and Changjiang's voice came: "The General Military Research Institute within two kilometers."
Jiang Chen frowned slightly: "Can you capture the DTW signal?"
"Yes." Changjiang: "Is it necessary to invade?"
Jiang Chen hesitated for a moment and said, "No need. Keep an eye on the situation over there and alert me if there is any movement."
The Yangtze River Laboratory was moved from the military research branch to the headquarters, and the files of all scientific researchers were encrypted. Among them, the file of the chief director Jiang Chen had the highest level of confidentiality. In addition to his work, his daily life was also strictly protected.
"Is the boss going home today?"
Jiang Chen packed up his things and smiled: "Well, I'll go back and come back in the evening."
"Will the professor go back then?" someone asked jokingly.
"Him?" Jiang Chen frowned, then he remembered that he hadn't seen Shi Fengyue since last night. He was so busy that he forgot about it and didn't take it seriously. Now he hasn't shown up yet, feeling a little strange. "Have you seen him?"
"No, Professor Shi went out yesterday because of a phone call. We haven't seen him since. He was on duty yesterday. Wasn't he in the dormitory?"
Jiang Chen was in the lab all night yesterday. Hearing this, he nodded and said, "I'll go back to the dormitory first."
The dormitory is also called the family building. It covers a very large area and the environment is very quiet. Those who live here are scientific researchers from the General Institute of Military Research and their families. In addition to the high-rise area, there are also separate small buildings and a small courtyard similar to a siheyuan.
The Yangtze River project is of great importance, and twelve scientific researchers including Jiang Chen were assigned to the area with the highest level of confidentiality. Any one of the neighbors here is a scientific researcher who has made significant contributions to the country. They may be famous or may be anonymous, but they are definitely well-known in the field of scientific research.
When we were first assigned here, everyone was excited for a long time. Every day when we went out and came back, we hoped to run into our idols. However, most of the scientists who lived here were very secluded. They either stayed in the laboratory or stayed at home. Obviously, this area was full of people, but when people came in and out, there were almost no people on the road except for their companions in the laboratory.
Jiang Chen walked all the way until he opened the small wooden door of the courtyard where he lived, but he didn't meet many people.
"Shi Feng Yue——"
"Shi Feng Yue..."
"Shi Feng Yue?"
Jiang Chen searched every room but couldn't find Shi Fengyue. He was about to go to the backyard to look for him when his cell phone rang.
"Chenchen, have you set off yet? The mothers have cooked a lot of your favorite dishes for you. Qianmin, Qianyu and Ranran are waiting at the door. If you don't come back, they will all become Wang Geshi."
"I..." Jiang Chen walked to the terrace, looked around the backyard, and pursed his lips: "Sorry, I may be back a little late, you guys eat first..."
"You haven't finished your work yet? Mom knows. Then go get busy. Don't be anxious. Work is more important."
Jiang Chen turned around and went downstairs, humming softly: "Sorry, I have to make you wait for me again."
"What nonsense are you talking about? Your parents know how important your job is. Your brothers and sisters understand very well. Don't say that. Just focus on your work. Don't worry, okay?"
"Okay—" Jiang Chen paused, "Shi Fengyue!"
The man standing by the sofa turned around and raised his eyebrows: "Why are you back?"
"Mom, I have something else to do. I'll hang up now."
Jiang Chen walked down the stairs in two steps. "Where have you been? You didn't even answer the phone."
Shi Fengyue curled his lips, "Just one night, did you miss me?"
Jiang Chen laughed, then frowned: "You don't look well, what's wrong?"
"It's okay." Shi Fengyue pressed his brows with his fingers and smiled: "I had a nightmare."
"Nightmare?" Jiang Chen looked into his eyes: "What's going on? Can't you tell me?"
Shi Fengyue raised his hand and placed it on his head: "It really was a nightmare, I wasn't lying to you, didn't you say you were going home today? Why aren't you leaving?"
Knowing that he couldn't get anything out of him, Jiang Chen suppressed his worry and asked, "Are you going back?"
"If you leave, I have to stay." Shi Fengyue shook his head: "You haven't been home for more than three months, sleep at home for one night, don't worry about this, I will notify you if anything happens."
"It's been three months..."
Hearing the time, Jiang Chen was a little dazed.
It has been three months since the meeting was held at the Military Research Institute. In the first month, he and his entire team were in a closed state. No one could contact them, and they could not contact outsiders. Only after ensuring that no information about the Yangtze River was leaked, they were strictly protected in the Military Research Institute.
This month, the entire team has been working hard to develop Yangtze River and dig deeper into the loopholes of DTW. Now, we have finally made some small gains. If nothing unexpected happens, after this UN General Assembly, DTW and Yangtze River system will officially enter the sight of some people in the world. If the plan succeeds, they will enter the sight of people all over the world.
Before that, he and the entire team must be perfect, to ensure that the Yangtze River can 100% block the DTW system from sending information to its creation, and to rewrite its core data as much as possible while retaining all DTW data and technology, so that it can serve mankind from now on and put the interests of the earth as the first priority. If it fails, it must be destroyed.
"Go back and have a good rest for a day." Shi Fengyue gently rubbed Jiang Chen's head, leaned forward slightly, and met his eyes: "I'm here."
Jiang Chen smiled, pinched his chin, pecked his lips lightly, and let go: "Thank you for your hard work, Professor Shi."
Shi Fengyue slid his hand down and pressed hard on the back of Jiang Chen's neck, pulling him closer to the distance he had already created: "Can you give me some reward for all the hard work?"
Jiang Chen's lips curled slightly: "What do you want?"
"It's very simple." Shi Fengyue leaned in close, his nose touching his, "Just change one word in the sentence you just said and repeat it."
"Which word?" Jiang Chen asked knowingly but still felt it was not enough, so he smiled more: "Tell me after you have revised it. Teach me."
Shi Fengyue's eyes darkened, their noses crossed, and when their lips were about to touch, a shrill alarm suddenly sounded.
"The activity of the DWT system has increased dramatically, and the fluctuation of He Qianjian's health value has decreased, 76%, 75%, 72%..."
Jiang Chen and Shi Fengyue looked at each other and ran out at the same time.
"I'll drive." Shi Fengyue took out the car keys, "You wait for me at the door."
"good."
When Jiang Chen got in the car, He Qianjian was also busy.
"Why did you suddenly faint?"
The doctors and nurses pushed the bed to the operating room in an orderly manner. The man with glasses walked the fastest and asked questions as he walked.
"I don't know. There was nothing unusual when I checked the beds this morning. Just when I was about to ask him about it, he..."
A young man behind an instrument suddenly exclaimed, "Doctor, look!"
The man with glasses paused, caught a glimpse of something, turned around and quickly walked to the instrument, slowly frowned, revealing a look of shock and confusion: "...What is this?"
"DTW system wants to kill H0001!"
H0001 is He Qianjian's current nickname. For the sake of confidentiality, the core experimental personnel who have access to He Qianjian and several leaders above call him by this.
"Contact Professor Zhou quickly, and notify the person in charge of the Yangtze River project!"
The man walked hurriedly, and ordered as he walked: "Zhao Yang, be responsible for recording all the conversations between DTW and H0001. Not a single word is allowed to be missed. The conversation records are saved in the previous format. Zhang He, you contact the maintenance team and try to reduce the error rate of the decoding system..."
Zhang He said calmly: "It is 0.62% now, the lowest error rate in the world, and that's with the support of the Yangtze River system. We simply can't lower it any further."
"That's why I said to contact the Yangtze River Project Team. They will definitely be able to do it." The man frowned and said, "DTW has been very vigilant since it knew we could decode their conversations. The people in the analysis team couldn't fully understand its specific meaning. At that time, it didn't even think of harming H0001. There must be a reason for its sudden abnormal behavior at this time. We must find out."
"I know." Zhang He glanced at the data and turned around: "I'm going to the Yangtze River Project Team."
Doctors and researchers in white coats pushed He Qianjian into the encrypted laboratory. Doors opened and closed one after another. The young assistant still looked confused as if he had not recovered from the serious accident. "H0001 was in a state of brain death just now..."
The man with glasses didn't answer and walked out quickly.
Jiang Chen ran in and almost bumped into him head-on. They both braked at the same time, but neither recognized the other.
Since the last meeting, Jiang Chen has been staying in a tightly guarded area because he is being monitored in real time by Changjiang. He has not come to see He Qianjian, and naturally has not met with the researchers here.
So he said sorry in a low voice and brushed past the man. Shi Fengyue took a long step and strode over. When he saw the man with glasses, he paused and said, "Professor Zhang."
Zhang He nodded as a greeting, and when the two were about to pass each other, Feng Yue called out, "Jiang Chen, take elevator number 2."
Zhang He quickly turned his head: "Jiang Chen? The person in charge of the Yangtze River project?" He looked up and down at this young man who looked about the same age as his son, and there was a moment of surprise on his face.
Zhang He was able to secure a position in the General Military Research Institute just after he turned 40. He is already a representative of talent and strength. It should be said that those who can appear here are all geniuses in various research fields and talents cultivated and supported by the country.
For example, the young assistant following Zhang He grew up with the title of child prodigy. He entered university at the age of 12, graduated from graduate school at the age of 16 and was included in the national key scientific research talent training program. He was able to independently host projects at the age of 18. In the same year, he published papers in internationally authoritative journals. He also represented the country in international youth scientific research competitions. Last year, he entered the General Military Research Institute and became his assistant. Among any peers, he is absolutely a leader.
But with such a genius, he can only start as an assistant. Compared with the achievements and status achieved by the young man with a bright smile in front of him, there is a world of difference.
Zhang He has always cherished talents and treated his assistant like a half son. He would not have any prejudice or contempt towards young researchers. But when he saw Jiang Chen clearly, his heart, which had been calm for a long time, suddenly tensed up. There was no other reason, but he sighed that there is always someone better than you.
"Are you the person in charge of the Yangtze River project?"
Jiang Chen paused, glanced at Shi Fengyue and said, "Hello." Recalling Shi Fengyue's address just now, he politely said, "Professor Zhang."
Zhang He nodded, turned and walked towards Jiang Chen. Just as the elevator door opened, he walked in and began to briefly describe the situation of H0001.
Jiang Chen quickly caught up with his pace, nodding as he listened, and at the same time instructed Changjiang through his mobile phone to dispatch the researchers from the studio over.
Seeing that he reacted quickly and without any confusion, Zhang He nodded inwardly and became more curious: "Is this a portable version of Changjiang? What is the difference between the application and the main system?"
Jiang Chen: “29.096%.”
"The main system's powerful defense system and automatic counterattack mode require powerful server support. Currently, there is no portable loading tool. Except for the weakened defense and automatic counterattack modes, other functions are on par with the main system."
Professor Zhang's eyes lit up, and he was very interested. However, he also knew that the time and place were not right, so he could only suppress his regret: "We're here. H0001 is in the surgical laboratory now. I'll take you to change clothes."
Jiang Chen and Shi Fengyue followed Professor Zhang, quickly changed their clothes and disinfected themselves, passed through a series of metal doors, and finally stopped in front of a door. The three people, including Professor Zhang, were allowed to enter only after being carefully checked by people wearing protective clothing.
As soon as Professor Zhang entered, he walked directly to a machine and asked the person who was recording the data: "What's the situation?"
"It's stable now." The man glanced at Jiang Chen and Shi Fengyue, a little curious, but he didn't ask any more questions. He suppressed the excitement that was about to come out and continued to report: "H0001's brain death has been reversed!"
Jiang Chen and Shi Fengyue also heard this sentence that could not be suppressed at all. They looked at each other and heard the man excitedly said: "This is the first case in the world where brain death can be reversed, and it happened in our laboratory!"
Professor Zhang was obviously also shocked, but he recovered quickly. The first thing he did was not to go in to check the situation of H0001 or ask his colleagues inside. Instead, he turned around and said to Jiang Chen: "Mr. Jiang, what do you think?"
Jiang Chen has gotten used to this title during this period of time. Because he is still a student and does not have a doctorate degree, let alone titles such as professor, he is able to independently take charge of the most important project in the country. It is somewhat disrespectful to directly call him "Xiao Jiang" or "Engineer Jiang". It is also too frivolous to call him "Boss" together with the project team. So, I don't know who started it, but Jiang Chen's title became "Mr. Jiang".
Although Jiang Chen felt a little awkward when he first heard it, he had already experienced titles such as Doctor, Professor, and Academician in his previous life, and regarded Mr. as an ordinary greeting. Gradually, he got used to it over time.
"The DTW system can manipulate H0001's brain waves, and can materialize and touch real objects."
Professor Zhang was shocked. As one of the testers of H0001, DTW could communicate with H0001. The brain death of H0001 just now also proved that DTW was very likely to damage H0001's brain, but it was unimaginable to make it real.
In a sense, artificial intelligence that can both parasitize in the human brain and touch physical objects is more like a "soul" than an artificial intelligence. To use horror movie examples, DTW is like a ghost that can possess a person, or one that has practiced for thousands of years and has boundless magical powers. In short, DTW can no longer be called artificial intelligence. In a sense, it is already a human.
A person who is immortal, can live forever, and has the power to destroy the world.
Professor Zhang took a deep breath. During this period, they had been recording the communication between H0001 and the system, monitoring his physical condition on a daily basis, and asking about the details. Due to the highly confidential nature of the Yangtze River Project, even though they were also part of the Yangtze River Project, the information they knew was still one-sided.
At least they greatly underestimated the power and terror of the DTW system.
Jiang Chen was not surprised by Professor Zhang's surprise. It had only been three months since the Yangtze River Plan was announced. This was a plan that concerned the survival of the entire world. It was naturally impossible to make a decision one moment and complete it the next. He had been isolated from the world for three months and had only completed a small part of the entire plan.
Subsequent plans require the operation of the state machinery. The entire country will serve the Yangtze River Plan. The General Research Institute is just one of its components. Except for the initial researchers of the Yangtze River Project and the top few, there will be no more people who know the entire plan.
Therefore, given the information asymmetry, Professor Zhang’s surprise at this moment is easy to understand.
Professor Zhang had many questions to ask, but he also knew that he shouldn't listen to a word of what he shouldn't know, let alone ask questions. He was silent for a moment and said, "I'm going to write the report. H0001 is in the innermost laboratory. Just identify yourself before you go in."
Jiang Chen thanked him and without staying outside for long, he and Shi Fengyue went straight to the laboratory where H0001 was.
This laboratory was built in the innermost layer of the institute's heavily guarded defenses. Jiang Chen and Shi Fengyue had already walked through many doors that required verification and undergone body searches before entering the operating room outside. The searches were even more rigorous as they went further inside.
Jiang Chen and Shi Fengyue took out their identity verification cards.
"Yangtze River Project Team, Jiang Chen, CJ01963S."
"Yangtze River Project Team, Shi Fengyue, CJ01972S."
The soldier guarding the door looked serious and saluted: "Mr. Jiang, Professor Shi."
The door slowly opened, revealing a busy yet orderly scene. Researchers in white sterile suits were doing their jobs, walking around from time to time. A woman who was passing by with documents stopped when she saw a strange face coming in at the door.
"Hello." Jiang Chen stated his identity, "I'm here to see H0001."
The woman knew that someone from the Yangtze River Project Team would come, but she didn't expect that the person who came was the person in charge. She quickly greeted him and led Jiang Chen Shi Fengyue to a transparent laboratory. As they walked, she confirmed again: "Mr. Jiang, Professor Shi, you don't have any electronic devices on you, right?"
Jiang Chen smiled and said, "CX1.0 is on me, but don't worry, it won't affect any equipment."
When the woman heard that Changjiang was carrying the money on Jiang Chen, she looked at him curiously like Zhang He, but didn't find anything unusual and didn't ask any more questions. She had already verified Jiang Chen's identity. He was the most core figure in the whole plan and it was impossible for him to lie about this.
"Doctor." The woman knocked on the door of the laboratory. "Mr. Jiang, the person in charge of the Yangtze River project, is here."
The middle-aged man stood up, picked up the documents beside him, and walked towards the two people.
"I'll take you to see H0001 first." He reported He Qianjian's detailed situation as they walked, and finally said, "The DTW system seems to have a plan. Although H0001 has been rescued, the situation is not optimistic. He has already developed brain atrophy. Before he wakes up, we can't be sure whether he can stay sober and rational in the future."
Jiang Chen was thoughtful, "Have you found out why DTW suddenly attacked H0001?"
"The analysis team is still analyzing the conversation between DTW and H0001. When they talk, they use different special codes for each important message. The analysis team cannot guarantee that they can fully understand it."
"It's okay." Jiang Chen smiled and glanced at the person next to him: "Professor Shi will take care of it."
The middle-aged man looked at Shi Fengyue when he heard this. He looked indifferent and did not respond, but only curled the corner of his lips.
"We're here." The middle-aged man pointed to the fully isolated ward and said, "This is H0001. We have at least three people observing and recording his condition at all times. Opposite is the analysis team. They are currently analyzing the conversation between H0001 and DTW before the accident."
"Let's go to the analysis team first."
He Qianjian hasn't woken up yet, so there's no point going over now. Moreover, the system of the core laboratory of the General Institute of Military Research is controlled by the Yangtze River main system. Jiang Chen knows He Qianjian's real-time situation earlier than anyone else here, so there's no need to waste time visiting him.
There were seven people in the analysis team, both men and women, all wearing glasses and looking tired.
When he saw Jiang Chen and the others come in, he was not as curious as the scientific researchers outside. He just greeted them casually and then stared at his screen and worked.
"Doctor." One of them took off his glasses and rubbed his eyes. While drinking a sip of tea, he asked Shi Fengyue and his friends who were very familiar with him and had already opened their computers, "Are they from the main project team of the Yangtze River?"
"Jiang Chen and Shi Fengyue."
"Jiang Chen? Chief executor of the Yangtze River Project?" The middle-aged woman took a half-second longer to glance at him, then returned her gaze to the screen. She asked as she operated the system, "Are they coming to help? Can the error rate of the maintenance team be reduced?"
"Not yet."
The woman frowned: "Why don't you take them there first?"
The implication is that you are wasting your time? The doctor, who was not old but could be considered their leader, touched his nose and said with a wry smile, "Aren't you just opposite H0001? Come and take a look."
Jiang Chen: "How is it?"
Shi Fengyue plugged in the USB drive he brought with him, installed the system he had developed during this period, and nodded after running it: "Not bad."
"Mr. Jiang...what is this?"
"Professor Shi's latest achievement." Jiang Chen smiled and said, "This system should help you speed up your analysis and reduce the error rate."
"Reduce the error rate?" The woman who had just put on her glasses took them off and quickly walked to Shi Fengyue's computer. She stared at the computer screen intently. When she saw the translation results after the system automatically input the data, she couldn't help but be surprised: "The accuracy rate is very high."
"I thought your main project team only studied the Yangtze River system." The doctor laughed and said, "I didn't expect that one person could replace our entire team."
Jiang Chen lowered his eyes and looked at Shi Fengyue, a smile appearing at the corners of his lips.
"You are too kind."
Shi Fengyue stayed to help analyze and assemble the system, while Jiang Chen followed the doctor to the maintenance team.
As soon as Jiang Chen came out of the maintenance team, he heard Changjiang's announcement: "He Qianjian's heart rate changes: 66, 67, 69, 72... Already awake."
The doctor also heard it and was about to speak when he saw his assistant walking over quickly: "Doctor! H0001 is awake."
