From now on, Lu Zhou's identity is no longer just an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, but also the general consultant for scientific development of the Ministry of Pan-Asian Cooperation and Science and Technology.
But fortunately, both the early warning and the convening of emergency meetings about the virus were textbook-level, and it caused almost no substantial damage to the life and property safety of the Pan-Asian people.
"Especially regarding how to dispose of the quantum computer array on Ceres, limited clues indicate that this unparsable computer program is running on it, and part of the core code is highly similar to the Alpha virus."
"You seem to have a prejudice against people in administrative positions," Li Guangya shrugged, "Okay, then correct it as you wish. This is the center of power in the Pan-Asian cooperative academic community, and now you are only one step away from reaching the top. Just one step away.”
However, Lu Zhou is still confident about completing his plan.
This proposal aroused the approval of many people.
Most of the problems faced by second-generation controllable fusion are advanced versions of the bottlenecks faced by first-generation controllable fusion. As long as the most critical magnetic field can be solved, the rest is not a problem at all.
“This is the academic center for pan-Asian cooperation.”
"Oh, really."
Seeing the quarrel in the conference room, Minister Xue couldn't help but feel a headache. He glanced sideways at Lu Zhou, trying to read any changes on his face.
But this time it was different.
…
A week has passed since the last time I gave Captain Xing the password.
Pushing away his chair and standing up, Yang Wu from the Pan-Asia First Fleet looked around the conference room and spoke.
"so?"
General Advisor of Scientific Development... Lu Zhou
These days, Lu Zhou has been waiting for an answer from Xing Bian, especially about what the password is used for, but there is no news at all.
"Let me say a few words."
I remember that at this time, a moderate cough suddenly came from the conference room, which made the quarrel calm down a little.
"You can put forward any good ideas, and I hope everyone can express their opinions."
"There's nothing to say. Obviously, the supercomputing center is the source of the virus!" A scholar stood up and said fiercely, "The Alpha virus has a strong ability to evolve, and it is very likely that this evolution happened in It was completed with the support of this supercomputing center. Regardless of whether it is an extraterrestrial civilization or the KB organization that built this supercomputing center, physically eradicating it is always the best option!"
He spent the last few days of February quietly like this. On the first day of March, Li Guangya suddenly called him and told him that the procedures for taking office had been completed.
Director Tang lived up to his expectations. After slightly improving his A1-type pulsed magnetic field generation device, he designed it into a building with a total area of about 4 acres, capable of forming an instantaneous magnetic field of 10,000-20,000T Tesla in the central area. Magnetic generating device.
In terms of rank, he is probably the second-in-command of the entire Pan-Asian Cooperation Technology Department.
He had only gone to the front line for less than half a month. How come when he came back, Academician Lu had already become the general consultant for scientific development.
At this time, a gray-haired scholar raised his hand and expressed a different opinion.
After reviewing a large number of documents, Lu Zhou has spent the past few days designing a laser ignition array that can be used for core ignition.
Minister Xue, who walked to the stage, read out the outline of the meeting and then sat down.
"This is my second time here."
With everyone waiting quietly, the meeting began.
Lu Zhou: "Unfortunately, I'm not very interested in power."
After hearing these words, Minister Xue nodded thoughtfully and fell into deep thought.
"At most it can only be regarded as the center of power in the academic world." Lu Zhou glanced around and said casually, "I didn't see scholars, I only saw bureaucrats."
"Based on the clues we have so far, the supercomputing center should be built artificially, and it is very likely to be an important clue related to the Alpha virus. Our fleet does not recommend destroying it... although it is easy to do so."
"Nice to meet you, Academician Lu. I have only seen your name in textbooks before. I never thought that one day I would be able to work with you. Thank you for the power of science and technology." Minister Xue smiled and extended his right hand. Minister Xue shook Lu Zhou's warmly. He shook his hand up and down, and then continued, "There happens to be a meeting soon. It would be great if you could come together. We hope to borrow your wisdom."
No matter how perfect the theoretical model is, it is just talk on paper without being tested in practice.
Such as lighting a fire.
"What meeting?"
To his disappointment, however, he saw nothing but a blank expression.
The person who previously proposed destroying this quantum computer array sneered and said: "For scientific research? This is simply ridiculous! Which research institute dares to use such dangerous experimental equipment?"
The first is over there at the Electromagnet Research Laboratory.
After waiting quietly for a while, but not hearing anything else, Yang Wu, who was sitting next to him, asked casually.
"I'd like to hear from the General Counsel for Scientific Development."
The most critical thing is that Wang Sicheng cannot even determine whether it was a human being who created the virus or something other than human beings...
"If possible, I hope this is the last time I come here in my life," Academician Wang Sicheng glanced at his watch again, sighed softly and said, "It's about to begin."
Another scholar nodded in agreement and said, "My opinion is the same. Even if the entire Ceres is blown up, it will not change what has happened. Taking a step back, even if we finally decide to destroy it, those hardware will still be innocent. This supercomputing center is probably the largest quantum computer array in the entire solar system. If it is used for scientific research, it will be of great help to us!"
The conference room was noisy.
No matter what secrets were hidden in that computer, it would not be a wise move to reveal them at the risk of bringing the world closer to the fire.
"As to what to do with that computer and the calculations it was executing..."
Different from previous network security crises, this time the Alpha virus is not only global, but also far from being comparable to ordinary computer viruses in terms of danger and concealment quality.
Looking at the commotion in the venue, Minister Xue paused and continued.
"We are all top experts in the field of information engineering and scientific research. I have called you here this time because I hope you can provide some valuable opinions."
"Nothing, just a little nostalgic," Academician Wang continued with a flash of memory in his eyes, "About 20 years ago, when I was working at the Shanghai Computer Research Institute, I was fighting against the 'locusts' that were sweeping across the country. , my mentor and I were recruited here for a meeting.”
Yang Wu noticed that the man sitting next to Minister Xue looked familiar. After looking at him carefully for a while, a surprised expression appeared in his eyes.
Although there is still a lack of experimental testing, as far as he feels like it, there should be no big problem.
The moment the words fell, the conference room was filled with people, and the faces of the experts showed expressions of surprise and shock.
"As long as its data is cleared, it is safe, at least to a certain extent. Why can't it be used? Scientific research itself is full of risks. What's more, even if not all of it is used, we can dismantle it and use its Parts!”
The meeting has not yet started, but many people are already sitting in the spacious conference room.
Academician Wang, who was sitting at the table, glanced at his watch and suddenly said softly.
Minister Xue smiled slightly and said.
"Let's talk as we walk."
At the same time, the construction team on the moon has also begun construction on the foundation.
"If that supercomputing center is the source of the Alpha virus, I don't recommend destroying it immediately. This may be the only clue we have so far. My intuition tells me that if we want to figure out how to solve the Alpha virus, we must figure it out. Calculating something."
"Anyway, let me introduce you to your colleague first... He just happened to be here," Li Guangya said with a smile as he looked at the middle-aged man walking towards him, "This is Xue Rui, the Minister of Science and Technology. "
Li Guangya smiled and said: "Of course, except for the Minister of Science and Technology, you are the highest in rank."
But what's interesting is that although there is no news from the Security Bureau, good news from East Asia Electric Power comes one after another.
The so-called locusts here naturally do not refer to locusts in nature, but a computer virus codenamed Locust. This virus specifically targets cloud server attacks and poses a considerable threat to the pan-Asian cooperative virtual reality network and maglev highway network.
