When Qi Yan got up, he felt a little dizzy. He held his forehead and knew that this was caused by staying up late.

When he went to the cloakroom to find clothes to wear today, the personal terminal rang a prompt. He took a look and allowed the connection.

The person on the other side excitedly said before he could speak: "Qi Yan, I saw the work report you uploaded to the intranet yesterday. You actually restarted Project E763? When did you come up with this idea? Not only me, but also Gamiye and Eliza were surprised! You--"

Qi Yan's hand that was buttoning his shirt paused, and he interrupted: "August, I have a headache."

"Understand, understand, I'll keep my voice down," August said with difficulty, "Are you really going to restart Project E763?"

Qi Yan's face turned pale, and his voice was two decibels lower than usual: "Well, I happened to study artificial intelligence in Turan."

"I read your admission information in Turan, but you have mastered all the things that Turan teaches before you are ten years old, right? What's there to learn? Don't say that you found the inspiration in Turan!"

"It has a little influence, I met a lot of different people on this trip, and they all have their own thoughts. In comparison, artificial intelligence seems too simplistic. "Qi Yan buttoned halfway, and was too lazy to button again, so he talked to August about his ideas.

"The essence of the Alliance's existing artificial intelligence is data-driven. Using a huge database and data mining processing speed, artificial intelligence can give the right response.

Because there is enough data and the mining is fast enough, it will give people the illusion that 'this is machine intelligence'. In fact, this is because most people simplify intelligence problems into data problems. In the final analysis, artificial intelligence at this stage is just a miracle created by data."

August understood what Qi Yan meant.

Today’s artificial intelligence is still under the pre-set instruction of “go to bed at 1 a.m.” Under this instruction, as long as it receives the same instruction from humans in the future, the artificial intelligence will follow it, but it actually does not know the meaning of the instruction itself.

He pointed out: "Do you want to completely change this direction?"

"No," Qi Yan's eyes were like a pool of water under the shade of the trees. When talking about the fields he liked, he would be very focused. "Not completely. I just wonder what it would be like if the current artificial intelligence could be taken a step further."

Thinking of Qi Yan's "too single" description, August tried to understand: "You want to give artificial intelligence 'emotions' and 'thinking' to make them different?"

Qi Yan didn't care much about the results: "Maybe? I can't foresee the final results for the time being."

August was very interested: "If you get a satisfactory result in the end, which field will you use it first?"

"The military," Qi Yan did not hesitate this time, "the military front, it may be used on starships first."

"Use it on military starships? Do you want to integrate it with the starship's central control system and directly serve as the 'brain' of the entire starship?"

August thought further than Qi Yan. "There is a work report on the intranet. I saw that humanoid combat mechas are also in the research stage. Because of the collapse of the space source stack state, there is no alternative energy source for the time being. But if the energy source is found, your achievement can be embedded in the humanoid combat mecha as the core. Maybe it will have a strange effect, such as creating a big killer." "

Well," Qi Yan was absent-minded for a few seconds, not knowing whether he was talking to himself or to August, "I'm just worried that there is not enough time."

"Qi Yan," August knew that Qi Yan was confused about reality, so he spoke, but he didn't know what to say or how to comfort him.

As a bystander, he could not feel the pain of the person involved.

Qi Yan did not let himself indulge in this emotion, "Don't worry, this is the project left by my mother, I will try my best to complete it."

When going downstairs, Qi Yan received a text message from August: "You forgot to register again. When this project was first established, your mother did not name it. Now you have restarted this project, so the results need you to name it."

Name it?

He was about to reply, and August's text message came again: "Don't call it E763! This is the project number, you can't be lazy!"

Qi Yan had to delete the two characters "E7" that he pressed.

Naming is too difficult.

Lu Fenghan put the bread slices on the table and saw that Qi Yan was walking carelessly. He didn't know what he was thinking. The buttons of his clothes were also buttoned in a mess, revealing a large area of ​​cold white skin, and the bow tied near his wrist was still dangling.

He walked over, unbuttoned the wrong buttons on Qi Yan's shirt, and then re-buttoned them one by one in order. He sighed in his heart, thinking that Qi Yan was indeed a little confused and his life skills were approaching zero.

Qi Yan stood quietly, allowing Lu Fenghan to button his shirt patiently, and suddenly asked: "Do you have any favorite nouns?"

"Nouns?"

"Yes, nouns that can be used to name some systems or models."

Thinking that Qi Yan had made another model and didn't know what to name it, Lu Fenghan thought for a few seconds: "Po Jun. In the Earth era, the seventh star of the Big Dipper, mainly engaged in weapons and killing. When I was in school, I thought that if I could design a starship, I would name it 'Po Jun', but later the complex starship materials science made me sober up and I realized that I was not suitable for starship design."

Qi Yan replied to August's message: "The name is 'Po Jun'."

August's words were full of surprise: "You chose the name yourself?"

Qi Yan: "Can't I choose the name myself?"

"Impossible, you don't have that level."

Qi Yan decided to ignore him.

Seeing Qi Yan's pale face, obviously he had stayed up all night again and had no appetite, Lu Fenghan had no choice but to get him a bag of peach-flavored nutritional supplements. He took it back halfway through and tore a small hole in the package before handing it over again: "Drink this?"

Qi Yan held it in his mouth and drank it in two gulps, which was considered a breakfast.

After class in the afternoon, he went to the laboratory. The holographic projection was on inside. Professor Fu stood in the middle and talked to Ye Pei. Seeing Qi Yan, he smiled and said, "You are the only one missing. Now that everyone is here, come on, classmates, let's discuss it."

Qi Yan sat down in his seat, resting his chin on his hand, feeling sleepy, and his elbow hurt from knocking against the hard table.

When Lu Fenghan saw him frown, he knew that his minor problem had come back. Helplessly, he took off his coat, folded it, and put it between Qi Yan's elbow and the table.

Qi Yan tried it and found it very soft, so he propped up his chin and continued to listen to Professor Fu.

"Since the beginning of the school year, all the tasks you have received have come to an end. New tasks will be arranged in a week. I have made a list of the processing models you need to understand and use proficiently, as well as the knowledge you need to be familiar with and master. I think this is not a problem for you."

As he spoke, Professor Fu showed a long list with a lot of thesis materials and references. Qi Yan took a look and found that it was mostly about Turan's third and fourth grade.

The students present were all top students in the grade, and no one complained that the list was too long. Most of them did not follow Turan's teaching plan, otherwise Mondrian would not have been able to apply for a patent in his first grade.

Professor Fu continued: "Of course, the contents of the list are too easy for you, so I left you a small task!"

Ye Pei whispered: "I knew you would never let us go so easily."

"Student Ye Pei is very perceptive," Professor Fu said with a smile, "I will send the specific arrangements to your personal terminals, remember to check."

After the holographic projection disappeared, Qi Yan opened the personal terminal and saw the schedule sent by Professor Fu.

Ye Pei sat over, scratched his hair, and said worriedly: "Qi Yan, Mondrian, we will form a team of three! Professor Fu is really right? Our school's large optical computer can't support this level of data, the calculation level has exceeded the limit!"

Lu Fenghan listened at the side and thought - it turns out that the strongest loser in the alliance also has times when his equipment can't keep up.

The tasks of each group are different. After reading it, Mondrian continued: "Ye Pei is right. If we want to support this level of data, we need to go to ISOC to borrow their 'Tianguang No. 3' super optical computer."

ISCO is the Super Optical Computer Equipment Center, headquartered in Leto.

Qi Yan nodded in agreement: "Well, the peak speed of 'Tianguang III' is 925432TFlop/ms, nearly a million TFlops per millisecond, which can support it."

Ye Pei raised his hand: "Can you use 'Tianguang III'? I have only seen holographic images, but never touched it."

Mondrian: "The point now is not, how should we apply for the right to use 'Tianguang III'? I remember it was very difficult and the procedures were very complicated. This should also be a difficulty set by Professor Fu."

Qi Yan thought for a while: "I can get the right to use it."

Ye Pei and Mondrian looked at Qi Yan.

ISOC's headquarters covers a large area, but the ground buildings are not high, with an average of only three or four floors. Mondrian had checked the information beforehand: "The buildings on the ground were built randomly. The 'Skylight III' we are going to use is underground. It is said that the original intention of this design is to prevent the particle cannon from hitting Leto one day."

Ye Pei nodded to show that he understood, but he doubted Mondrian's last sentence: "If Leto is really hit, the entire alliance will probably be finished."

"That's not necessarily true," Lu Fenghan followed Qi Yan and chatted casually, "If the rebels want to overthrow the rule of the Alliance, they will definitely not advance little by little from the edge of the Southern Cross Region. After conquering the Southern Cross Region, they will attack the Kepler Region, and after occupying it, they will attack the Messier Region or the Central Region. How long will it take? If I were the rebels, I would occupy Leto in one go, and then bring the Central Region into my sphere of influence. Anyway, the garrisons in the other three regions are very average, and it will take only a few years to clean them up slowly."

Ye Pei and Lu Fenghan have hardly spoken a word, probably to avoid suspicion. Although Lu Fenghan followed Qi Yan to the laboratory, he usually acts like an invisible man. For so long, the only thing known about him is his last name, Lu.

But because they saw each other every day, they were not strangers. Ye Pei felt that what Lu Fenghan said seemed to make sense: "Then according to what you said, the particle cannon might really fall into Leto one day?"

Lu Fenghan's tone was always casual: "Who knows, if the Alliance front doesn't work harder, it might really be soon."

Ye Pei's scientific research thinking was purely scientific. Every day she thought about how to upgrade the processing model and how to deal with data. She rarely read the "Leto Daily". She was about to continue chatting, but suddenly found that the big screen of the ISOC headquarters building cut to the news broadcast.

On the screen, the host clearly reported in the Alliance's common language: "...According to the latest news from the Southern Cross Region front, on October 3, the expeditionary base was suddenly attacked by the rebels and suffered heavy losses. This is the second time since the great defeat that the expeditionary base has suffered heavy losses..."

Ye Pei stopped and looked up at the screen. After a long time, she commented: "You are really disappointing!"

Lu Fenghan's eyes were slightly dim, and there was no smile at the corners of his lips: "You are really disappointing."

Ye Pei didn't know why, but she always felt that when Lu Fenghan said this, there was nothing wrong with his tone, but it made her feel a little cold.

Following the instructions on the map, they arrived in front of a two-story building. The group went in. There was no one in the lobby except for a service robot that greeted them: "Please scan."

Ye Pei and Mondrian originally thought that Qi Yan would show an application form or a pass, but they didn't expect Qi Yan to simply scan his personal terminal, and the service robot said: "Information verified."

When they got down from the elevator to the seventh floor underground, Ye Pei still hadn't reacted: "We'll go in now. "

Qi Yan explained: "My friend applied for long-term permission and can apply to use 'Skylight No. 3' at any time. I borrowed the permission from him."

Ye Pei had no doubt: "So that's it! Your friend must be very powerful to have long-term permission here. It seems that only professors in our school have long-term permission to process data."

Lu Fenghan glanced at Qi Yan and thought, generally speaking, "my friend" refers to me.

There was still no one in the entire underground seven floors. The guide lights led to a metal door. Qi Yan scanned the personal terminal as usual and opened the door.

"Skylight No. 3" is equipped with more than 70,000 light modulators, and the components alone occupy half of the room.

Ye Pei couldn't help but sigh: "It is said that if the holographic game we are playing now uses 'Tianguang No. 3' as a carrier, the world in the game will be indistinguishable from the real world!"

"There is still a difference."

Ye Pei was curious: "Qi Yan, how do you know?"

Qi Yan turned his eyes away: "I guessed."

After the novelty wore off, Ye Pei, as the team leader, began to assign tasks and roughly calculated the time: "We will be here for about thirty hours. I brought a lot of nutrients. It's no problem to double the time. If you need it, just ask me. Okay, let's get to work!"

Their mission this time is to decompose, mine, and organize a large data package, and then embed the logic through the processing model to form a correct data sequence. Finally, after the entire data sequence is imported into the artificial chip, the robot carrying this artificial chip can answer the corresponding questions.

This is the most basic artificial intelligence process chain.

However, this complete set of operation content is generally not available until the third grade, but Mondrian and Ye Pei did not find it difficult, and Qi Yan was the same, and was studying how to upgrade the processing model.

Lu Fenghan had never come into contact with a super optical computer before, he had only heard of it.

The reason why the First Military Academy was so stingy in every aspect and was so poor that it couldn't even afford a weather monitoring and control system was mainly because the First Military Academy spent a large amount of its savings in the early years to buy a super optical computer to build a simulated battlefield.

Land, naval, and air battles are all fine, but the most difficult is space battle. Countless planets, nebulae, black holes, different gravitational forces, cosmic storms, meteorite belts... The space environment is complex and too difficult to build. Only super optical computers can support it.

In addition, the subsequent maintenance expenses are too high, resulting in the First Military Academy being in a state of poverty all year round. It is so poor that it wants to catch a few fish in the river at the school gate and sell them for star coins.

Lu Fenghan still remembered that when he first took the simulated combat class, every teacher would emphasize that this class must be taken seriously, because it simulates a completely real space battlefield. The more familiar you are with it, the higher your chance of survival will be when you really have to drive a starship to protect the stars behind you.

He sat down on a chair nearby and couldn't help but recall his school days, but found that with the passage of time, most of them were not clear, and all kinds of emotions had faded long ago - including the unwillingness to lose a fight with someone in school, and the sadness of facing the death of a comrade for the first time after arriving at the front line, all of which were covered up layer by layer by the years.

His eyes turned to Qi Yan.

He inexplicably remembered what Qi Yan once said, "Forgetfulness is a gift from fate."

It seems that it is indeed a gift.

Once you focus on something, time will pass very quickly.

Lu Fenghan checked on the star network, but could not find the specific battle situation on the front line. He simply asked Vincent to give him a detailed description of the battle situation. He opened a star map in his mind as a sandbox and began to analyze the reasons for the defeat.

Although he felt early on that it was almost certain that the acting commander led the starship to deliver heads to the rebels, there was nothing to analyze.

Qi Yan and the others also buried their heads in their work.

During this period, Qi Yan also distractedly thought about the structure of "Po Jun", got some inspiration, and wrote a few notes very hastily.

In the equipment room, the flow of time is unclear. There are metal walls on all sides, and even if there are windows facing outside, they only connect to the underground. The light was on and never went out. Apart from feeling a little sore in his neck, Qi Yan had no idea how much time had passed.

Lu Fenghan caught a glimpse of Qi Yan's small movements, walked closer, put his hand on the back of his neck and squeezed it twice.

The skin on the back of the neck is creamy white, delicate to the touch, and the vertebrae are slightly raised, making you want to slowly rub it with your fingertips.

Lu Fenghan thought so, so he did it, but he only rubbed it twice before stopping - he was afraid of leaving red marks on his delicate skin.

At this time, a prompt box suddenly popped up on the control screen. Qiyan glanced at it and frowned.

Lu Fenghan lowered his eyes and asked him, "What's wrong?"

"Someone is hacking into the system and triggering the firewall."

Mondrian and Ye Pei also heard it, and both were surprised.

"Who is so brave that he actually came to jump over the firewall of ISOC headquarters? Aren't you afraid of breaking your legs?" Ye Pei was puzzled again, "Qi Yan, how did you find out?"

"I have the habit of turning on background monitoring when I run data for projects. If I encounter illegal intrusion, I will receive a prompt." Qi Yan did not elaborate. After thinking for a moment, he still bypassed the intranet of the headquarters building.

His authority level is very high, and entering the intranet will not trigger a security alarm.

Mondrian and Ye Pei did not understand what the command Qi Yan typed meant, but they roughly knew that it was related to illegal intrusion.

Ye Pei was very curious: "Qi Yan, what's the situation now?"

"Someone wants to hack into the intranet and shut down the defense system of the ISOC headquarters."

Ye Pei took a while to react, "Defense system? A defense interception system to prevent bomb attacks?"

Qi Yan nodded, "Yes."

Ye Pei widened his eyes, looked at Lu Fenghan, and murmured, "No way, the rebels are really going to capture Leto? Are you a crow or a prophet?"

Lu Fenghan put his hands on the edge of the table and looked at the complex characters on the screen. "Capture is not certain, but the probability of a Lu-fire light pressure bomb is a little higher." He

sneered in his heart. The front line had just suffered a defeat and retreated from Turin to York, once again handing over the seven mineral stars to the rebels.

If we continue to retreat like this, we will almost reach Leto.

It’s no wonder that the rebels seized the opportunity and wanted to carry out another round of bombing in Leto, which would also deepen the instinctive fear of countless people.

Lu Fenghan twirled his fingers, subconsciously trying to get a cigarette, and finally forced himself to calm down.

The closest Ye Pei was to the flames of war was at Fontaine No. 1. She stammered a few words: "What should we do now? Will it really blow up? No, we are underground, it shouldn't bomb us, right?" "It

can't bomb. There are people stationed in the security center of the ISOC headquarters, and the defense system will not be shut down easily. They have reacted now." Qi Yan thought for a while, moved his fingers, and used the traces left on the opposite side to pursue the opponent's origin.

The chase lasted a whole hour.

Ye Pei and Mondrian saw that Qi Yan had a cold expression and his fingers were typing commands without pausing. They were afraid to disturb him, so they didn't dare to speak loudly and could only communicate in a low voice.

Ye Pei: "Why can Qi Yan construct PVC93, accelerate the R9-03 model, and now help the people at ISOC headquarters break the legs of invaders, but we can only... watch?"

Mondrian: "In fact, you know the answer in your heart."

"Alas," Ye Pei sighed, "I don't know if my genes can reach Qi Yan's level after recombining once."

At the same time, a fierce battle just ended in the security center of ISOC headquarters.

A young man flexed his fingers. "Okay, I don't know how many people are on the other side, they are as cunning as rats. They jumped more than a thousand temporary stations and we almost lost them! It's obvious that they came prepared."

"If we really lost them, the next attack would not be from the Star Network. It might be ten light pressure bombs in a row. As soon as the front line suffers a defeat, the rebels will come to cause trouble." A girl of typical Germanic descent next to her stretched her back. "I was so busy chasing people that I forgot to find out the identities of these 'rats'."

The young man who had just spoken suddenly pointed to the screen. "No...someone helped us find out the identities of the 'rats'!"

The two looked at the lines of information appearing on the screen, which stated the specific coordinates of the "rats" that had just invaded.

The young man was shocked: "With the coordinates, why worry about not being able to catch the person? But, could this information be false?"

"It can't be false," the blond-haired, blue-eyed girl pointed to the tower-shaped logo in the corner of the screen, "Look here."

The young man took a deep breath: "Did someone from 'over there' pass by and help us? We are both really lucky today."

In the equipment room.

Seeing Qi Yan finally stop and start to move his fingers, Ye Pei guessed that he was fine, so she rested with a relieved mind.

Checking the time, she took out the nutritional supplement and asked Qi Yan: "I brought coffee flavored ones, do you want them? They can barely be used as a substitute for coffee."

Lu Fenghan knew that Qi Yan thought coffee was too bitter and didn't like to drink it, so he refused for him: "We brought some too."

Qi Yan was exhausted from the previous hour, his knuckles ached, and he didn't want to speak, so he hid beside Lu Fenghan and was lazy.

After a while, he felt a little hungry again, and very consciously reached out to take the nutritional supplement from Lu Fenghan's pocket.

After glancing at the seal, Qi Yan tugged at the corner of Lu Fenghan's clothes, and when the other person looked down at him, he handed the nutritional supplement over.

Lu Fenghan tore it open in two moves and handed it back to Qi Yan, doubting himself a little - would his indulgence lead to a negative development in Qi Yan's ability to take care of himself?
