707 Smart Computer (1/2)
Betting site.
When Su Ling's name was cemented as first, everyone turned pale as if they had just lost their soul. 1,000 trillion... it's not an amount that can be brushed off! They actually lost 1,000 trillion to Su Hao in one exam!
”I'm done...” The boss looked gloomy as he sat on the ground.
He knew that no matter what, he's now in deep sh*t!
The entire website only has a few hundred trillion to run. This time, forget about waiting for his superior to save them. If they can't come up with 1,000 trillion, they will be punished by the Federation.
He vaguely seemed to be able to imagine police cars coming and his future days in prison.
”What do we do? What can we do now?” The boss's body was drenched in cold sweat. It was at this time that his communication device rang. He was shocked as he peeked at the caller ID.
”What should come finally arrives.” With a forced smile, the boss opened his device and established the connection.
A virtual screen emerged, showing a figure. The boss's expression looked soulless with no sign of vitality. With an unwilling look, he stared at the screen, ”You're here to mock at me, huh?”
”I only want my principal money back. As for the remainder, how about we settle it with you fulfilling one of my requests.”
On the screen, Su Hao's mouth raised, forming a slight arc.
”What?” The boss abruptly opened his eyes wide.
1,000 trillion dollars in exchange for a request? Does that mean Su Hao is not going for his 1,000 trillion dollars? The boss got back his soul. If this is true, then anything is fine.
As long as the money is here, he could come up with any excuses.
However, Su Hao is willing to give up on such an enormous fund? If it's true, then how hard would the request which he needs to fulfill be?
The boss finally calmed down.
What request is worth 1,000 trillion star dollar? If it were a typical day, he wouldn't even dare think about it, but now he found himself with nowhere to escape!
Having such a thought, the boss once again looked up, ”What do you want?”
”This site, I heard that the entire operation is built on a smart computer?” Su Hao asked indifferently.
”Yes.” The boss nodded before thinking of something which made his face change, ”Are you perhaps asking me to steal the smart computer?”
Smart computer!
One is comparable to the processing power of tens of millions of ordinary computers. It definitely lives up to its title as smart. Although there is still quite a distance from a quantum computer, it was still technological progress worthy of being celebrated! Even large forces like the top ten families only have one each! Its value definitely far exceeds 1,000 trillion!
Sure enough, his goal is none other than that!
The boss trembled. He should have thought of this earlier.
The whole site, only this smart computer is worth this much. It's just that even he only has the authority to use it. The entire betting site is connected to the computer via an extremely long data line. In fact, he had no idea where the actual location of this smart computer is!
”You are overthinking it.” Su Hao shook his head, ”I just want to look at it.”
”Look at it?” The boss couldn't believe what he had just heard. Stop trying to deceive me! I am no three-year-old kid! That is not a small amount of money; it's 1,000 trillion star dollars! All this money just to a look at it and experience it personally? Who would believe him!
”I am researching on how to increase computing power to exceed an ordinary computer. Thus, I personally want to see how a smart computer operates. That will be convenient for my research.” Su Hao continued nonchalantly, ”After my research is successful, perhaps I can build one for myself too.”
”Oh, so this is your reason.” The boss came to his realization.
So he's trying to steal technology? Indeed, scientific technology is priceless in this age.
”What can I do?” The boss calmed down.
”I want to see it with my own eyes, see how it runs! That data line should be enough for you to identify its location. Bring me there! I request at least ten minutes for me to take a good look at it. Half an hour later, I will leave! There won't be any trace left behind!”
”You have been working for the betting site for many years. Don't tell me you can't do this much? Of course, I don't wish to be discovered. Naturally, you wish for the same too, right?” Su Hao's tone was very calm.
”You really just want to research it and nothing more?” The boss continued doubtful, ”You won't end up destroying it?”
”Even if you wish to die, I do want to die together with you!” Su Hao sneered, ”A smart computer is not worth being traded with my death.”
The boss pondered for a bit. That does make sense. With Su Hao's current status, one can say that he has infinite potential. To trade his life for a mere smart computer wouldn't benefit him.
”Alright, I will make some arrangement for that.” The boss took a deep breath.
On the other end, Su Hao smiled, ”Rest assured. I really just wish to look at it.”
The boss smiled bitterly.
So what if he doesn't believe Su Hao?
Since the situation had escalated to this stage, he could only trust Su Hao because he had no choice!
That night, they both quietly sneaked in.
The boss has been working here for over a decade. His responsibilities include supervising and protecting the smart computer. Naturally, he had his way to find its location easily. With Su Hao's superb hacking skills, both quietly snuck in and finally saw the target with their own eyes.
”This is the smart computer?” Su Hao was stunned.
Regarding smart computers, he had imagined it many times, but he never thought that the so-called smart computer turned out to be... a man!
Yes, a man.
A man was sitting cross-legged with a faint glow around him. His entire body was wrapped in bandages. Both of them took a glance and recognized something. It is computer data.
”This... what's going on?” The boss was a bit shocked.
”It turns out to be this...” Su Hao scanned around the area, ”A supercomputer can imitate and deduce any data, but it still lacks AI and human intelligence. No matter how much hardware is upgraded, it will never be completed. I have been looking for this breakthrough, but I would never have imagined the truth to be like this!”
Human!
In Kingdom of Heaven, those thousands of computers had reached a bottleneck. Adding more units no longer holds any significance. For a computer to achieve a perfect AI, it needs to be humanized!
Su Hao had been looking for this breakthrough.
