Novel Full Chapter 1493: The Unknown Secret Of East Asia Energy
The downside of the convenience of the information age was that, with the continuous advancement of information technology, privacy was increasingly approaching a false proposition.
Especially for Lu Zhou, who had an artificial intelligence robot, this was even more apparent.
Although he didn’t take Song Yangwei’s threat to heart, out of cautious consideration, Lu Zhou felt that he still had to understand what the secret was.
Xiao Ai lived up to Lu Zhou’s expectations. After a lot of hard work, Xiao Ai finally bypassed the layers of defense and hacked into Song Yangwei’s personal terminal.
Although most of the data in this era were stored on cloud servers, there were also a small number of special users who hired professional companies to protect their confidential data and store them in local storage space.
Unfortunately, there was nothing on Song Yangwei’s personal terminal…
At least there was no so-called shady news that could subvert East Asia Energy’s power.
“Sorry, Master, Xiao Ai is too useless.”
“It’s okay, maybe the shady news doesn’t exist, he is just bluffing.”
Seeing that Xiao Ai’s face was full of frustration, Lu Zhou touched her head.
When Lu Zhou saw her turn from being frustrated and sad into being happy, he couldn’t help but think.
Is he really bluffing?
I feel like his confidence is real.
So…
The data is stored in a more secure place?
“Xiao Ai.”
“Huh? 0.0”
“Other than the shady news… Did you find anything that is difficult to understand in his terminal? The kind of thing that cannot be analyzed by your computing power.”
Xiao Ai: “There are actually quite a lot, but most of them are useless information… Ah, yes, it seems that there is one that meets Master’s requirements, which Xiao Ai retrieved from the cached data of the video call ._(゚Д゚)ノ”
Lu Zhou immediately said, “What did you find?”
“X-100.”
“X-100?”
“Xiao Ai doesn’t know what it is. There is no description of that thing in his personal terminal, but looking at how carefully he treats it, it seems… very important? ᕙ(⇀‸↼‵‵)ᕗ”
Very important?
After repeatedly pondering the words and remembering that Song Yangwei had previously served as a director of the Science and Technology Committee of the board of directors, Lu Zhou suddenly had an idea.
According to the charter of the East Asia Energy Board of Directors, this position could directly determine the appointment and dismissal of the company’s scientific research director, which was equivalent to the top leader of the research and development department. Any major research and development project must be signed by him.
Thinking of this, Lu Zhou immediately ordered.
“Xiao Ai, help me retrieve the data in the East Asia Energy Archive! Especially about R&D, collect all the R&D projects related to the entry of X-100!”
“Yes, Master! (๑•̀ᄇ•́)و✧”
Because Lu Zhou himself was the chairman, there was no need for hacking operations at all. With the authority granted by the chairman himself, Xiao Ai easily entered the company archives and downloaded all the information about the mysterious X-100.
After removing some obviously irrelevant rubbish, Lu Zhou quickly found a report titled “Evaluation Report on X-100 Application” from the pile of files.
This report had not been published publicly. It was kept in the archives as a corporate secret.
After getting the report, Lu Zhou followed the summary part of the report and read it line by line.
In short, this was an evaluation report on outsourcing projects.
About ten years ago, East Asia Energy signed a joint research and development project with an information technology company called “Dawn Technology” to invest one billion credits to develop an artificial intelligence automatic control program for a new generation of controllable fusion reactor cores.
Judging from the completion date of this assessment report, this project was probably completed in the middle of last year.
On the surface, there seemed to be nothing wrong with this project. Whether it was the process or the things written in the evaluation report itself, it was quite satisfactory. However, the strange thing was that, relative to this one billion investment, this report was quite crudely written.
In particular, the detailed test results of the artificial intelligence program were not mentioned in the report at all.
A trace of doubt arose in his mind. Lu Zhou, who looked at the holographic screen, reached out his index finger to select the file.
He was stunned.
It’s gone?
The billion-dollar nuclear core control project is gone?
Did it never exist, or was it deleted…?
The suspicion in his mind became stronger and stronger. Lu Zhou continued to find Dawn Technology’s bidding documents and tried to gather information about this company in the attachment.
However, something strange happened.
The whole project was like a black hole, swallowing all of the information. Everything about the X-100 research project was erased by an invisible hand.
“The original signed contract is still here…”
Lu Zhou looked at the signatures of the contract signing officers. When he saw the names of former chairman Liu Zhengxing and Song Yangwei, director of the Science and Technology Committee, on the contract, a feeling in Lu Zhou’s heart became stronger and stronger.
Intuition told him that the “shady news” that Song Yangwei said should be related to this research project codenamed “X-100”.
It was just that he really didn’t understand what was the reason that made them act so secretive about the control procedures of a reactor.
Maybe…
This project that’s codenamed X-100 is not actually researching reactor control procedures but something else?
When this thought suddenly came into his mind, Lu Zhou’s pupils gradually showed a trace of understanding. Soon, more doubts followed.
Xiao Ai, who was sitting on the sofa, suddenly opened her eyes and looked at Lu Zhou excitedly.
“Master! Xiao Ai seems to have found something incredible! ヾ(≧▽≦*)o”
After hearing these words, Lu Zhou immediately asked, “Did you find something then?”
Xiao Ai: “Although most of the experimental data about X-100 has been erased, Xiao Ai still found residual data about the X-100 project in the cache data of the electromagnet research laboratory database. The part that hasn’t been cleaned up yet. (⃔*`꒳ ́*)⃕↝”
The remaining data that has not been cleaned up…
Lu Zhou was amused.
I didn’t expect to be grateful at the low efficiency of the electromagnet research laboratory.
However, he would never invite those idiots back. He would rather recruit some new people.
Settling down, Lu Zhou asked in a serious tone, “Can the data be restored?”
Xiao Ai: “It has already been restored! (.・∀・)ノ゙”
The data was quickly downloaded to Lu Zhou’s personal terminal, and the source code of the program was retrieved through developer mode.
Lu Zhou looked at the lines of code. He didn’t feel much at first, but the more he looked down, the more familiar he became, and the expression on his face became more solemn.
As he had guessed, this code that was jointly developed by East Asia Energy and Dawn Technology was indeed not an intelligent program for a reactor…
It was the ALPHA virus that made a lot of noise some time ago!
