《Inheriting Company: Starting from Building the Iron Suit》


 Chapter 1

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    At a parallel world in New York, June 3rd.


    For many people in this world, this was a very important day.


    It was the day of the Science & Technology Summit.


    The Science & Technology Summit was a conference organized by the world¡¯s top scientists.


    At this summit, there were researchers and dignitaries from various countries, as well as people proficient in all types of weapons, special forces, mercenaries¡­


    The reason why all these people were gathered here on this day was simple: to buy powerful technology and weapons that would allow them to arm their own countries.


    This world was not a peaceful world and war was the norm!


    Where resources were scarce, everyone was fighting for oil, minerals, forests, fresh water, and so on. In short, everyone needed resources.


    That meant that the only respected professions in this world were those who were scientists and inventors.


    In this world, those who brought progress to one¡¯s country did so through powerful technological inventions.


    That was why, no matter how fierce a war was, no sides were allowed to annoy or attack scientists no matter which side they were from.


    This was because all scientists around the world had signed an agreement.


    The Mutual Assistance Agreement.


    If even a single scientist was threatened or hurt, it would arouse the anger of scientists all over the world.


    They would then bring out their high-technology weapons and join in on the fray.


    The agreement stated that the country that hurt any scientist would be destroyed by the other scientists themselves.


    Yes, a whole nation destroyed for one scientist!


    This was not an exaggeration.


    Everyone wanted to befriend the scientist association, especially those with terrorist connections!


    The logic behind it was simple. When all the high-tech weapons in the world were brought out by these scientists, their firepower would all be concentrated on one country.


    It was a terrible sight to behold!


    ¡­


    It was now 9 o¡¯clock in the morning.


    The Science & Technology Summit officially began at 10 o¡¯clock.


    The building was full of science and technology, its appearance similar to the spiral rise of a DNA double-stranded structure.


    At this moment, there were people bustling up and down the stairs.


    These were the elites in suits and researchers in white coats.


    There were also special forces soldiers amongst them with cold faces, as well as terrorists with murderous intent. The people from both sides stared at each other as they walked into the building.


    No matter how deep their hatred was, they had to behave themselves in this place.


    No one could protect them if they caused trouble here.


    ¡­


    Under a big tree not far from the building.


    A man wearing a white shirt and sunglasses glanced at the building in the distance. His expression was very calm, but his fists were tightly clenched.


    He looked at his watch and muttered to himself, ¡°We can go inside in ten minutes.¡±


    Yes, the technology building was not a place where anyone could come and go as they pleased.


    Without a certain identity or status, you could not just simply enter.


    Other than the members of the Science & Technology Association, the others were either invited dignitaries from various countries or some big clients who were simply ¡®doing business¡¯ in areas where war and chaos could not follow them.


    There were also some people who had spent money and had connections who could get them an invitation they needed to join.


    Only a select few could get in through connections as external quotas were always extremely limited.


    Everyone entered the building in batches according to their rankings, and those who had to use external connections were usually the last to be let in.


    By the time they could enter the building, most of the big exhibitions would usually be over so all they would be able to see were the remaining side exhibitions and introductions from afar.


    Anderson was one of the last people to enter.


    However, he had not come here to see the technology or weapons that the scientists had invented.


    He only had one goal, and that was to become a member of the Science & Technology Association.


    Everyone knew how to become a member of the Science & Technology Association.


    All you needed to do was invent and create a piece of technology that could satisfy others and be recognized by the other members to become a part of the Science & Technology Association.


    Finally, it was 9.50am.


    Anderson walked quickly to the building and took out a special card from his pocket, the size of a regular credit card.


    It was not a hot day.


    However, the back of his white shirt was soaked with sweat.


    The reason for his sweat was simple: he was both excited and nervous.


    Soon, maybe around ten minutes later, he was going to do something great.


    Without the association¡¯s recognition, he was going to walk on stage and demonstrate his artificial intelligence technology.


    It was a huge risk to do such a thing at the risk of offending the association.


    If the technology he invented was not recognized as useful by the researchers, it would cause a lot of people to pursue him.


    The lesser punishment was to spend the rest of his life in a prison cell, while the worst would be taking him away and ¡®disposing¡¯ of him.


    However, Anderson had no choice.


    Once, he was just a company clerk until suddenly, by accident, he had arrived in this world.


    It was a parallel world that was similar to Earth but different.


    In this world, he became the heir of a weapon company.


    The weapon¡¯s company was not bad, but it was only one of the many arms dealers in this world.


    The worst thing was that the company was facing bankruptcy and a debt that ran sky-high.


    Once he could not repay the debt, there was only one ending for him in such a dangerous world.


    And that was death!


    But fortunately when he arrived in this world, he also obtained a magical item¡ªa god-tier technological system.


    Every week, he could check in once within the system and obtain a magical piece of dark technology!


    The first reward he received was a part used to create an iron suit for a certain type of artificial intelligence.


    In fact, this iron suit was something he had only seen in movies before this!


    The technology it contained was something that the people of this world could not imagine.


    The materials included titanium alloy, nano alloy in the later stages, and a special metal that did not belong to this world¡ªvibranium.


    The intelligence aspect was extremely advanced; it could be said that it surpassed any artificial intelligence of this era.


    Once he got more parts, the armor also included an array of weapons such as electromagnetic energy guns, laser beams, and so on.


    Of course, the most important core technology he needed to complete the puzzle was the controllable nuclear fusion!


    If he obtained this technology, he would basically not have to worry about powering the armor over long periods of time.


    However, he would just have to wait patiently to obtain that piece.


    The most important thing now was to join the Science & Technology Association.


    As long as his technology could be recognized by the scientists of this world and he successfully joined the Science & Technology Association, the problems that he was facing would no longer be just his own.


    Also, his debt could be solved by selling part of the funds that he would go in to improve his artificial intelligence technology.


    After that, the weapons company could become a high-tech company from then on!


    His identity would also change from that of an ordinary arms dealer to a scientist that everyone respected.


    Therefore, since God had given him such an ability, he intended to use it to fight for himself. He couldn¡¯t just stay at home and wait for the company to go bankrupt, bidding time for his death.


    Anderson believed that he could do it. After all, this was a high-tech concept from another world. In this world, it was a path that no one had ever walked before.


    ¡­


    Soon, the technology summit officially began.


    At this time in an empty room, there were nearly 200 people from all over the world of high status.


    Half of them had looks of anticipation on their faces, while the rest were simply excited.


    Some were excited that their works would be displayed in front of the world, while others were excited to get the opportunity to obtain their favorite technological weapons.


    Finally, an old man wearing a neat suit and gold-rimmed glasses walked onto the stage.


    At the same time, there was a round of applause from the audience.


    He raised his glasses and glanced at the crowd below the stage before nodding slightly.


    ¡°Good morning, ladies and gentlemen! I declare that the Science & Technology Summit has officially begun!¡±

 Chapter 2

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    ¡°First of all, let me introduce myself. I¡¯m the President of the Science & Technology Association and also the founder of Hyman Technology. You can call me Joseph.


    ¡°I¡¯m very happy that everyone is able to attend this Science & Technology Summit.¡±


    At this point, the old man paused and looked at the crowd below the stage. Finally, a hint of impatience appeared on someone¡¯s face and all Joseph could do was helplessly smile.


    He actually didn¡¯t have many expectations for this year¡¯s Science & Technology Summit.


    Everyone¡¯s exhibits had already been passed to him through a list from the very beginning.


    They were all the same, mostly ordinary guns and ammunition, or just some modified vehicles. It was nothing more than adding some range and power to the original foundation.


    The most exciting stuff was just precious ¡®souvenir¡¯ guns made of all kinds of strange materials.


    These young people had no imagination at all.


    These people were like a group of children. All they did was take the original object¡¯s form and use all kinds of strange and rare materials to make a replica as their ¡®admission¡¯ ticket into the exhibition, hoping to seek everyone¡¯s reward and recognition.


    Just from the looks of it, these kids didn¡¯t even seem to have any patience.


    Joseph shook his head and slowly said, ¡°Next, let our vice president and founder of Smith Technology, Mr. Robert, host this exhibition¡¯s introduction for everyone.¡±


    After hearing Joseph¡¯s words, an excited voice immediately sounded in the meeting room.


    After waiting for so long, the meeting finally began.


    Many people had come to the Science & Technology Summit but through paying a great price.


    Money, connections, and everything else in between.


    All in the effort to prove their own value and that of their own research technology, that could only be done through this exhibition alone.


    Therefore, rather than listening to an old man mumbling, it was better for them to just move onto the appraisal segment.


    Everyone could no longer wait to display their exhibits to the rest of the crowd to receive praise and honor.


    Under everyone¡¯s gaze, a middle-aged man with a combed-back hairstyle sitting in the first row slowly stood up and walked steadily onto the podium.


    ¡°The purpose of our Science & Technology Summit is to promote the progress of the world. I believe that with your active participation, whether it is the future of the world or all of you present here, you will all have a bright future!


    ¡°I won¡¯t say anything else. Now, let¡¯s get straight to the main event and begin today¡¯s Science & Technology Summit introduction.¡±


    After saying that, the entire conference room was filled with a burst of enthusiastic applause, everyone¡¯s faces colored with excitement.


    After the applause stopped, Robert walked to the front of a row of exhibits that were covered with a black curtain.


    Then, he picked up the card in his hand and read, ¡°Now, according to the order on this card, I will be giving a simple introduction to everyone¡¯s exhibits. The owner of the exhibits that are being read can raise his hand at any time to add content!¡± Robert finished.


    Countless members began to discuss in low voices. Many of them also took out a small card from their pockets and read what was on them. It seemed that they were very familiar with the exhibition process.


    Robert saw this scene and did not say anything.


    He did not let everyone quiet down. Instead, he gave them some time to prepare.


    The Science & Technology Summit was the top conference in the star-spangled country, even if it had a very strict system.


    However, in reality, it was still relatively lenient in handling matters.


    After all, apart from a portion of acquaintances, there were also quite a number of newcomers who just joined each time. They had to give them some time to get used to how things worked.


    After a minute, Robert read out the first exhibit on the card.


    The content included nothing more than the name of the technology, the creator, and which company it came from.


    As for more specific content related to the technology, the creator himself raised his hand and stood up to introduce it.


    ..


    Half an hour passed.


    The first segment of introductions was basically completed and now, there was a ten-minute break.


    This was also a good time for them to discuss things with one another.


    Generally speaking, if someone wanted to take a fancy on a particular weapon displayed just now, this break was also the time for them to communicate their interest.


    Those who acted quickly had already started to place their orders, preparing to draw out the first payments from their own accounts.


    Ten minutes wasn¡¯t that long.


    Everyone had finished chatting. One by one, they put away the pen and paper in their hands into their bags, putting down their wine glasses as they were carried away by the waiter with a tray.


    After that, they returned to their seats, ready to listen to the next segment of the exhibition.


    At the last minute¡­


    Suddenly, a man in a white shirt and sunglasses quickly walked up to the podium.


    This made everyone stunned.


    What was going on?


    Generally speaking, the host of the exhibition was appointed by the President of the Science & Technology Summit and he would inform everyone in advance.


    He wouldn¡¯t change the candidate midway.


    After all, not everyone could stand in that position and speak.


    At this time, the vice president who had just wiped his hands clean with a white handkerchief noticed the man on the podium after being reminded by the waiter.


    He immediately frowned and turned his head to look at President Joseph who was sitting on an animal skin sofa not far away.


    The two of them looked at each other, Joseph¡¯s eyes also showing confusion.


    He shook his head slightly. It was obvious that he did not know what was going on.


    Vice President Robert heaved a sigh of relief. As long as it was not arranged by the president, he was not worried.


    He had even thought that the President was dissatisfied with him and wanted to replace him at the last minute.


    After all, this was the Science & Technology Summit.


    The Science & Technology Summit had been held for so many years. During the first session, there had been some things that made him uncomfortable and unhappy.


    But after everyone gave the troublemakers a small punishment, no one dared to come to the Science & Technology Summit ever again to cause trouble.


    These troublemakers no longer existed.


    And now, a young man had appeared. Not only did he walk onto the podium, but he also had a calm expression on his face as if he didn¡¯t take the Science & Technology Summit seriously at all.


    This made Robert suspicious.


    To dare to come to the Science & Technology Association to cause trouble, could this kid be Joseph¡¯s illegitimate child?


    However, he did not have time to think about it now.


    After confirming with his eyes that Joseph himself did not know about it, this was indeed an uninvited guest. He needed to be invited out so that he would understand what a stupid thing he had done.


    Robert was just about to wave his hand and call a few special forces guards to take this kid away when just then, he saw President Joseph staring at the man on the stage with interest.


    ¡®It¡¯s been a long time since something like this has happened,¡¯ thought Joseph.


    The Science & Technology Summit was getting older and older as if it was going downhill like these old men.


    Now, this young man walked onto the stage.


    He saw the fighting spirit in the young man¡¯s eyes.


    This kid was very brave. It was possible he brought a surprise with him.


    Joseph had some expectations, even if this was a person who was not on the exhibition list.


    He raised his hand toward Robert and shook his head at him. Obviously, he did not want him to stop what was happening in front of them.


    Robert had no choice but to stop the special forces and wave his hand. He made the two special forces soldiers stop their actions.


    Let¡¯s see what the young man who took his place wanted to say..

    Under everyone¡¯s gaze, Anderson took a deep breath.


    To be honest, before he went on stage, his palms were drenched in sweat during the one hour he sat below the stage.


    After all, no one knew if everything would be as he had expected even if his plan was relatively straightforward.


    The first step was to go on stage.


    The second step was to start introducing his dark technology, the artificial intelligence.


    However, he needed to go on stage first to grab this opportunity for himself.


    After some thought, he figured the best time to get on stage would be during the halftime interval.


    Because during this period, it was a relaxing time for everyone to get up and move, drink some wine, and chat.


    Of course, he wasn¡¯t stupid enough to walk up to the stage during the break.


    Interrupting the break would definitely cause dissatisfaction.


    Therefore, he chose to go up at the very last minute.


    It was equivalent to cutting the line ahead of everyone else.


    However, what a strange thing it was. After he stood on the stage, he didn¡¯t feel nervous anymore. He suddenly had a strange feeling.


    It was as if he had returned to the past when he was introducing and promoting his products to his customers.


    However, he wasn¡¯t promoting his products to a few people now. Instead, he was introducing them to a few hundred members.


    There was still a similar underlying feeling.


    Under the crowd¡¯s curious gazes, Anderson adjusted the height of the microphone on the podium.


    He glanced at the crowd below the stage and slowly said, ¡°Hello, everyone. My name is Anderson.


    ¡°Now, the reason why I¡¯m here is the same as everyone else. I¡¯m here to showcase my technology and become a member of the Science & Technology Association. Of course, by the end of this, I¡¯m here to change the entire world!¡±


    After listening to Anderson¡¯s speech, the people in the meeting were initially stunned. Then, they sneered in dissatisfaction. ¡°Hmph, a kid who looks less than 20 years old dares to boast about changing the world?¡±


    ¡°This guy is very arrogant. How could he develop a technology that can change the world so easily?¡±


    ¡°Where did he get the courage to come to the Science & Technology Summit and say such words? What kind of scientific researcher doesn¡¯t modestly introduce their own technology products? He doesn¡¯t look like a scientist at all. He looks more like a salesman.¡±


    ¡°I think he did this to attract the president¡¯s attention and gain recognition. But he¡¯s still too naive. Many people here are very professional scientific researchers. It¡¯s impossible to fool them.¡±


    ¡°He¡¯s still too young. It¡¯s good to have a goal, but it has to be based on an actual understanding of one¡¯s own situation. When I was young, I had the same idea but had to face the reality of my dreams in the end.¡±


    ¡°Why don¡¯t we listen to what this kid¡¯s technology is? We might be able to teach him a good lesson!¡±


    Standing on the stage, Anderson heard an undisguised mocking voice from below the stage.


    Although he was a little unhappy, he still held it in.


    After all, it was not surprising that most people would act that way. However, they were not him.


    He looked at those who were trying to laugh at him and a smile appeared on his face.


    In fact, after he obtained this artificial intelligence, he also obtained all the knowledge about it as well.


    Before he came to this conference, he had already looked it up on the internet. Currently, the level of artificial intelligence development in this world was still quite low.


    In terms of applications, other than the common sweeper robots and some robotic arms, not many people were focused on this area of technology.


    Everyone was thinking about how to make weapons more powerful, and technology that was not related to weapons was only researched by some small companies.


    Therefore, he was not worried about his own technology at all. He even thought that the small companies present might not have fully grasped it at this point either.


    Of course, that was indeed the case.


    At the same time, Robert, the Association¡¯s vice president, was also a little dumbfounded when he heard Anderson¡¯s words. What era was it now? How could there still be such a naive person?


    However, when he saw Anderson¡¯s young appearance, he understood. If he was a few decades younger, he might have had the same idea.


    However, the idea was just an idea. He was not ignorant enough to go to a Science & Technology Summit and embarrass himself.


    During this time, the only person who had a different opinion was President Joseph, who was sitting on the leather sofa chair at the side.


    He believed that Anderson was not a braggart.


    In fact, when Anderson walked to the commentary desk, the people around him had already noticed and reminded him of his own shortcomings.


    He saw the young man clenching his fists tightly. It was obvious that he was making a very difficult decision.


    In the end, the moment he stood on the platform, he suddenly felt relieved. His eyes were filled with confidence and a fighting spirit.


    At that moment, he was certain that this kid would bring him some surprises!


    And now that he heard Anderson say such words¡­


    He was even more interested. It had been a long time since he had met such a guy.


    What kind of thing could make this kid have such confidence and say that he could change the entire world?


    If this kid could really do what he said¡­


    If he was allowed to join the Science & Technology Association, perhaps it would stir up a new wave of vitality amongst their current members.


    ¡°Quiet!¡± Vice President Robert shouted calmly before he looked helplessly at President Joseph.


    To be honest, he felt a little aggrieved. If not for the President¡¯s signal, he would be very happy to see this kid make a fool of himself.


    After all, normally, he was the one presiding over the exhibition now. In the end, he was left behind.


    Letting this kid stand on the stage was akin to getting his own job stolen.


    Seeing that everyone had quieted down, Anderson noticed the President who nodded slightly to him not far away.


    A smile appeared in his eyes. He nodded in thanks as well and continued.


    ¡°I believe that many of you here are already looking into any information about me. As everyone can see, I am the heir of an arms company.


    ¡°Right now, my company is in a debt crisis and has many issues. Many of you may be thinking the same thing. How can a guy who can¡¯t even pay off his debt be able to stand here and say such arrogant words about changing the world?


    ¡°However, what I want to say is that I do have a piece of technology that can change the world: artificial intelligence.¡±


    Anderson slowly uttered the last two words and the conference room that had just calmed down suddenly became noisy again.


    ¡°No way, this is the so-called technology that can change the world?¡±


    ¡°How boring, I thought it was some new type of weapon but it turned out to be this kind of thing?¡±


    ¡°This is an area that no one is researching and only small companies that don¡¯t have the ability to develop technological weapons would choose to research it.¡±


    ¡°With this kind of thing, even if it¡¯s developed, what sort of benefits could it even provide?


    ¡°Maybe this guy¡¯s design isn¡¯t any ordinary type of artificial intelligence. Perhaps it¡¯s the kind that you can talk to?¡±


    ¡°You mean like the one on your phone? Hey, Siri, what¡¯s the weather like today? Haha!¡±


    At this moment, Vice President Robert was also dumbfounded after hearing this. He felt that this Anderson person was just here to make a joke and couldn¡¯t be trusted at all.


    No, he had to dash this kid¡¯s dreams before he made a fool of himself!

 Chapter 4

    Just as Robert was about to go on stage and tell this kid to get lost¡­


    To everyone¡¯s surprise, President Joseph, who was sitting on the sofa, spoke up. ¡°Anderson, I¡¯m quite interested in learning more about this technology of yours.


    ¡°I want to know, what¡¯s the difference between the artificial intelligence you designed and the ordinary artificial intelligence we have now? I hope you can enlighten me more about the topic.¡±


    Joseph¡¯s voice was not loud but the moment he opened his mouth, everyone¡¯s eyes were already on him.


    This was Joseph Hyman.


    He was one of the most famous scientists in the world.


    Hyman Technology, the company under his name, covered technology used by all walks of life and was a technological giant that everyone in the industry looked up to.


    However, why would such a person be interested in the technology developed by a young man who was less than 20 years old?


    Moreover, the kid¡¯s background was that of an arms company, which meant that he was just a businessman.


    The son of a businessman could develop technology?


    Why would President Joseph be interested in such a thing?


    Perhaps Joseph was already old.


    That was why he would allow such a kid to speak so arrogantly.


    Many people had malicious thoughts in their hearts, hoping that Anderson would make a fool of himself. This also proved that President Joseph¡¯s vision had clearly deteriorated over the years.


    However, now that President Joseph had spoken, they could only listen obediently. Even Vice President Robert, who had already reached his limit of patience, also watched quietly.


    At this moment on the podium, Anderson¡¯s clenched fists couldn¡¯t help but relax.


    He admitted that he had made a gamble.


    In this world where research and development of high-tech weapons were prevalent, many people might only know the surface details of the artificial intelligence that he had proposed.


    However, he still believed that someone would pay attention to his technology.


    The ones who would pay attention to him were the top technology companies that covered the entire industry.


    This was because in the current world, it was already very difficult to reach a new height in the development of high-damage weaponry technology. There wouldn¡¯t be any obvious progress anymore.


    The market was already close to saturation and there were too many choices.


    Under such circumstances, if he made some leaps and bounds in other areas, he would definitely get the attention of other big shots.


    It was also because of this that Anderson was so confident in saying that he could change the world.


    These were the key steps that Anderson had long thought of!


    Because only in this way would he be able to attract the attention of tech giants who would be interested in understanding more about what he had created!


    Finally, he would use his own material to prove and conquer them!


    It wasn¡¯t all just empty talk.


    After the system¡¯s explanation, all the technology he obtained was something that could be realized in this world.


    Now, he only needed to get the Association¡¯s recognition and then achieve his goal step by step.


    He wasn¡¯t just cheap talk and now, everything was going according to his plan!


    To his surprise, he actually got the attention of the world¡¯s technology giant, the Association¡¯s President himself, Joseph Hyman.


    This made him a little stressed.


    But once he proved himself and got his recognition, he might be able to get the cooperation of Hyman Technology.


    Hyman was often willing to pitch in when it came to good and innovative ideas that truly proved useful.


    By then, he would have access to some of the resources provided by Hyman Tech and would be able to research and develop other technologies contained within the iron suit itself.


    This was the path he had planned for himself after obtaining the god-tier technology system.


    And to carry out this plan, the most important thing was to get a ticket to the technology exhibition.


    Although his deceased father had left him with a mess¡ªa company that was heavily in debt¡ªhe had also given him hope and a key to the future, which was his ability to get into the exhibition.


    This was the opportunity!


    It was right in front of him!


    Anderson looked at the old man not far away and nodded respectfully.


    ¡°President, the general design information is in the folder in my bag. The specific content and data are stored on my phone. I want to ask you for some advice. I hope you can make some modifications to my design,¡± Anderson said confidently.


    Joseph looked at Anderson¡¯s expression and smiled as well.


    It had been a long time since he had seen such a confident young man. This kid said that he wanted to ask him for help to make some corrections but his tone was so confident.


    Looking at this young man, Joseph could not help but think of his own self in the past.


    His mind was filled with all kinds of thoughts. He was also so confident, hoping to change the world.


    Along the way, he met friends with similar aspirations and led a team. They overcame many difficulties and were generous and brilliant in all fields.


    Time passed in the blink of an eye.


    The existence of the Science & Technology Association now proved that he had accomplished all his initial goals.


    Looking at the confident look in Anderson¡¯s eyes, Joseph smiled and said, ¡°Anderson, I want to see your design drawings. Can I?¡±


    ¡°Of course,¡± Anderson said confidently.


    Then, Joseph turned his head to look at Robert and said, ¡°Go to Anderson¡¯s seat and bring his documents over.¡±


    ¡°Anderson, you can present the presentation now,¡± Joseph continued.


    On the side, scientists from other companies and research institutes looked at Anderson with envy and jealousy.


    He had actually gotten the President¡¯s attention.


    Meanwhile, the other scientists who were supposed to present the technology in the second half were already gnashing their teeth in anger.


    This guy¡­


    Soon, Robert brought the information to Joseph.


    At the same time, under everyone¡¯s eyes, Anderson connected his cell phone to the exhibition¡¯s big screen wirelessly.


    As his finger kept swiping his data password safe, Anderson opened the file with his fingerprint.


    A bunch of files in various formats popped out and Anderson¡¯s finger kept swiping, looking for a file.


    Many of the audience members who were watching the projection were dazzled.


    But to the professional researchers, these were all normal operations.


    However, this young man, who was not even 20 years old, could clearly distinguish the documents and was able to do so with ease.


    This required a certain level of professionalism and a deep understanding of one¡¯s own research to be able to do so.


    Finally, Anderson opened a file titled ¡®Iron Suit: General Outline¡¯.


    In the subdirectory of this file, a few more file names popped out.


    ¡®Artificial intelligence¡¯, ¡®Alloy-elemental titanium¡¯, and there were even unnamed files.


    Except for two files with names, it was clear that this folder was what took up the most space in his hard drive.


    The remaining unnamed files were all of the same size and there was no specific content.


    After that, Anderson opened the AI file and saw dozens of blueprints filled with all kinds of dense computational data.


    Seeing this scene, everyone was stunned.


    Was he trying to brag about himself by being able to understand the complexity of the data that was now being showcased in front of them?

    ¡°F*ck, is this a joke? Is this guy really capable?¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t understand what¡¯s going on but I know these things are definitely not simple. This guy is prepared!¡±


    ¡°Hey, I think the third blueprint looks like a brain!¡±


    ¡°Oh god! Now that you mention it, I seem to see a living being made of data!¡±


    ¡°Could this be the artificial intelligence that Anderson wants to create?¡±


    The crowd below the stage continued to discuss and express their opinions.


    At this moment, President Joseph put down the blueprint in his hand and looked at Anderson in disbelief. ¡°Anderson, are you trying to create a Third World?¡±


    Seeing President Joseph¡¯s astonished expression, Anderson couldn¡¯t help but feel a little excited.


    Sure enough, there were still people in this world who could understand the depths of his research.


    He then smiled and explained, ¡°That¡¯s exactly my idea. My artificial intelligence also includes the extension idea of linking to the human subconscious. However, these are things that can only be done in the future. Right now, what I¡¯m trying to do with it is be able to solve most human problems, whether it is technology such as data deduction, or entertainment such as chess, or even human emotions.¡±


    At this moment, most of the people who listened to Anderson¡¯s explanation were still confused. They looked left and right, hoping to get some explanation from others.


    Everyone had a rough understanding of artificial intelligence. Most people felt that it was like a toy for children to play with.


    However, after listening to Anderson¡¯s explanation, they were stunned.


    Was AI just entering data into a fixed program and then asking it to act according to a certain pattern of behavior?


    But in Anderson¡¯s description of his technology, it seemed like that wasn¡¯t the case?


    Since when could an AI understand human needs and even solve emotional problems?


    And the most ridiculous thing was that he said it could actually link to the human subconscious.


    This involved biological knowledge!


    This was unacceptable to most people.


    Just like in the Middle Ages, not everyone would accept the idea that they could be replaced by robots.


    This was something that no one had considered because it was a path they had never imagined.


    Moreover, most of these people represented companies that specialized in weapons.


    Only a small number of researchers from companies that dabbled in science and technology had a general understanding of Anderson¡¯s thoughts and intentions. Excitement appeared in their eyes and they could not wait to have a good chat with Anderson.


    Finally, a few people who did not understand found the right person and quickly asked, ¡°Hey, is there anything special about this artificial intelligence and ordinary artificial intelligence?¡±


    ¡°Didn¡¯t you hear Anderson¡¯s analysis just now? Didn¡¯t he say it clearly?¡± A guy in a suit glanced at him and said disdainfully.


    The person who asked was a little embarrassed.


    There were plenty who also felt like they were in a similar situation.


    After all, for people who dealt with all kinds of guns every day and didn¡¯t dabble in things beyond that, their knowledge regarding this matter did not even cover the basics.


    Finally, he couldn¡¯t help it.


    A young man raised his hand and asked Anderson, ¡°I have a question. What is your definition of artificial intelligence?¡±


    Hearing this young man¡¯s question, the concepts of knowledge related to artificial intelligence kept appearing in Anderson¡¯s mind.


    Anderson looked at the young man as he said very smoothly, ¡°To me, artificial intelligence includes robots, language recognition, image recognition, natural language processing, and expert systems.


    ¡°And in my vision, the technological products brought by artificial intelligence in the future will be a ¡®container¡¯ to human intelligence.


    ¡°Artificial intelligence can simulate the information process of human consciousness and thinking. Artificial intelligence is not human intelligence, but it can think like human beings and may even surpass us at some point.


    ¡°Artificial intelligence is an extremely challenging science. It includes computer knowledge, psychology, philosophy, and other disciplines, and is composed of different fields


    ¡°Generally speaking, one of the main goals of artificial intelligence research is to enable machines to perform complex tasks that normally require human intelligence. However, everyone¡¯s definition of ¡®complex¡¯ work differs in terms of their own knowledge and the era they come from.¡±


    After hearing Anderson¡¯s definition of artificial intelligence, the audience finally understood what Anderson wanted to do.


    However, even if they understood, could such a thing really be made?


    As Anderson said, people in different eras had different understandings of certain concepts.


    Just like a complex job, different people had different answers.


    That was to say, in order to deal with and solve such a problem, artificial intelligence had to be ¡®intelligent¡¯ enough to deal with the problem in different scenarios.


    And in this era of pursuing technology, the problems that everyone was facing weren¡¯t problems that an ordinary intelligent computer could solve. Could this artificial intelligence really do all of that?


    Everyone was now skeptical.


    At this moment, compared to the doubt in everyone¡¯s hearts, President Joseph was more shocked.


    Yes, shocked!


    Artificial intelligence actually had a long history in this world, but no one had ever delved into the mysteries of it.


    Not to mention the future and development of artificial intelligence, which Anderson had also defined earlier to the young man.


    He took a deep breath, looked at Anderson, and praised him, ¡°Anderson, your idea is very good. Currently, the research on artificial intelligence in our world is still in the field of intelligent simulation robots, but these only have basic information recognition.


    ¡°According to your conceptual blueprint, your AI includes logical reasoning, game playing, information sensing, dialectical processing, and so on. But the disciplines involved are very broad and can not be explained clearly in just a few sentences.


    ¡°According to the classification in your proposal, it includes philosophy, cognitive science, mathematics, neurophysiology, psychology, computer science, information theory, cybernetics, indeterminacy, bionics, social structure, and the concept of scientific development. That¡¯s at least a total of 12 disciplines.


    ¡°This doesn¡¯t even take into account the research areas you¡¯ll have to cover, which include language learning and processing, knowledge representation, intelligent search, reasoning, planning, machine learning, knowledge acquisition, combinatorial scheduling problems, perceptual problems, pattern recognition, logical programming, soft computing, imprecise and uncertain management, artificial life, neural networks, complex systems, genetic algorithms, and the way humans think. These are nineteen more areas to study.


    ¡°It¡¯s impossible to do this without decades of research. This is something that only an elite team can do.¡±


    After Joseph¡¯s calm analysis, he basically understood what kind of artificial intelligence Anderson wanted to create.


    If it could really be created, it would indeed be a technology that transcended eras, a technology that could really change the world.


    However, Joseph had once led a team and participated in solving all kinds of difficult technological problems. He had worked for decades before he made significant progress.


    And now, what Anderson wanted to do was so huge that even he did not have the confidence despite this idea being pitched by a young man who was not even in his twenties.


    However, it was already good enough for Anderson to come up with this concept.


    Such an outstanding young man, he couldn¡¯t ask for more from him..

 Chapter 6

    At this moment, most of the people in the exhibition also understood how amazing this was.


    Even the most professional and knowledgeable researchers at the scene didn¡¯t dare to say that they could understand these things, let alone integrate them into a specialized subject.


    How could something like this merely be called artificial intelligence? A more apt name for it was building a ¡®super brain¡¯.


    Below the stage, Vice President Robert, who initially wanted to kick Anderson out, was stunned speechless.


    While there were many who could not comprehend the knowledge before them, they knew that it was definitely something powerful despite the knowledge barrier.


    However, Robert happened to be very familiar with some of these subjects, to the point of proficiency.


    For example, philosophy, sociology¡­ These were all his hobbies.


    However, Anderson had actually connected them back to artificial intelligence.


    After Anderson finished speaking, he seemed to be imagining something in his mind.


    However, he felt a sense of anxiety in his heart.


    Because if it could really be realized, the biggest problem would be the molding and improvement of the autonomous creative thinking ability of artificial intelligence.


    The other aspects were fine and not difficult to solve, but if the autonomous creative thinking ability of artificial intelligence could not be broken through, then all technological processes that it required to grow would be lost.


    If Anderson wanted to develop such artificial intelligence, this was the most difficult and crucial step.


    At this moment, everyone in the room was thinking. A portion of the arms dealers were wondering if this kind of artificial intelligence could be configured and used on their own weapons so that they could be fully automated.


    On the stage, Anderson looked at everyone and coughed lightly, bringing back some people from their thoughts.


    He then continued. ¡°In my opinion, the pursuit of high-damage weapons is far too concentrated all around the world and has even reached the state of fanaticism. The scale and variety of weapons in this world are close to saturation. Therefore, the best way to promote the development of our world is to now progress in other areas.


    ¡°As for the artificial intelligence I designed, I believe everyone knows what it is after seeing it. Right now, everyone¡¯s shallow use of artificial intelligence is merely a drop on the surface of what is to come. While the most it does now is fingerprint and portrait recognition, the reality is that it has far more potential than that.¡±


    Anderson paused for a moment, then swiped his phone again. He opened a document and went on with his introduction.


    ¡°So, in my opinion, now is a very good time to bring artificial intelligence into the limelight. Artificial intelligence is a very important technological advancement if we want the entire world to achieve rapid progress.¡±


    After listening to Anderson¡¯s summary, President Joseph¡¯s eyes were fixed on the large projection screen. His hands, which tightly gripped the design blueprint, were so excited that sweat began to drip down his forehead.


    That was because on the screen, he saw the direction of solving various difficult problems in the research of artificial intelligence.


    The most crucial one was the molding and improvement of autonomous and creative thinking ability when it came to mechanical intelligence.


    The reason why Joseph was shocked was because the blueprints before him contained a detailed plan to solve these problems.


    Every aspect had very detailed data parameters.


    With his many years of scientific research experience, Joseph actually discovered that it actually seemed feasible!


    At this moment, President Joseph suddenly had an idea that was hard to suppress.


    Could Super Artificial Intelligence really be produced?


    Yes, Super Artificial Intelligence. Joseph had exactly the same idea as Anderson.


    This kind of artificial intelligence couldn¡¯t even be considered ordinary technology. Just using the word ¡®artificial intelligence¡¯ to describe it even felt like an insult.


    At that moment, Joseph looked in Robert¡¯s direction.


    The two of them nodded in tacit understanding, their faces filled with excitement.


    They could already see that everything about artificial intelligence had been thought out by Anderson; even these difficult technological problems had been solved.


    As long as they followed Anderson¡¯s idea to conduct research, they would be able to see the tangible results very quickly.


    On the stage, Anderson saw the President and Vice President of the Science & Technology Association nod at him.


    It was obvious that his idea had been recognized.


    He knew that there would definitely be people who would recognize his genius.


    Anderson took a deep breath and relaxed his mind.


    He had already succeeded in obtaining the recognition of two technological giants!


    Now, the President and Vice President believed that his artificial intelligence technology would definitely be able to be realized.


    From their expressions, it could be seen that the two of them had already studied other aspects of technology other than weapons.


    After all, the development of the world was basically fixed at this point. If they wanted to make further breakthroughs, they had to look at other aspects.


    As for AI, it wasn¡¯t a particularly advanced technology. As long as there was a direction, there would be a technological breakthrough very soon.


    The current level of technology in this world was not considered that advanced. In fact, it could be considered a serious scientific deviation.


    A lot of things were still at the initial stage.


    Therefore, not everyone could understand technology that was too advanced.


    However, artificial intelligence happened to be at a level that everyone had some understanding of, but it was not that deep.


    As long as Anderson explained these things and gave the researchers a direction, it would not be difficult to solve these problems.


    And for these researchers, it was only a matter of time before artificial intelligence was realized with the data that was provided by Anderson.


    At this moment, the entire conference room fell into a strange silence.


    Anderson quietly waited for the President to speak, while Joseph and Robert fell into deep thought.


    Many of the audience couldn¡¯t hold it in any longer, and discussions gradually began to ring out within the exhibition space.


    ¡°Tell me, what is the President thinking about right now?¡±


    ¡°I think the president feels that this young man has a good idea but it¡¯s all just theories at the moment. This is a Science & Technology Summit, not a seminar.¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t think so. The feasibility of this artificial intelligence is very high. Moreover, this young man still has preliminary data parameters. Perhaps the President is already thinking about investing and preparing to carry out science and technology experiments.¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t believe it. This artificial intelligence has been out for so long but no one has come up with anything unusual. He¡¯s so young and has so many research directions. Can he solve all of them by himself?¡±


    ¡°Even if he has been studying since elementary school, he might not be able to do it.¡±


    ¡°No matter what, this kid has already succeeded. He¡¯s already received the attention of those two big shots. If there is any progress in the development of artificial intelligence in the future, this kid will forever be considered its creator.. He¡¯s already famous!¡±

 Chapter 7

    While everyone was whispering, President Joseph gradually recovered from his shock.


    However, because he was currently looking down at the design drawings, no one could see his absent-minded expression.


    After all, it had been a long time since the usually calm, old President had expressed his thoughts toward the exhibits at the Science & Technology Summit.


    That was because there was no technology nowadays that seemed to excite him.


    This time, the Science & Technology Summit was just a formality. He didn¡¯t expect to have such a pleasant surprise.


    Vice President Robert was also very concerned about this matter.


    Whether it was his own thoughts or the President¡¯s, both of them were clear about the significance of the technology proposed by Anderson and how it would affect the world once it was developed.


    Robert had not joined the Science & Technology Association for a long time. It had only been a few years and was accepted for his extraordinary talent. He became the vice president because he was very sensitive and knowledgeable about technology and data.


    He could almost conclude that there was nothing wrong with the technology proposed by Anderson, and President Joseph¡¯s evaluation was considered the most accurate in the entire association.


    The technology that President Joseph had taken a fancy to was definitely not some simple trick.


    And through the incredulous expression he had just seen in President Joseph¡¯s eyes, he was almost certain that changing the world was not a pipe dream; it was completely achievable.


    Everyone in the meeting room was still discussing the situation in an animated fashion.


    Meanwhile, on the stage, Anderson was quietly looking at the sky as if he was either in deep thought or in a daze.


    It was as if everything had nothing to do with him now, unperturbed by what was going on around him.


    In addition to the two president¡¯s attitudes, the audience couldn¡¯t help but have some thoughts about it.


    Perhaps, perhaps¡­


    Anderson could really achieve such a high level of technology?


    Could he really design such a technology?


    However, the moment such a thought appeared, many people immediately denied their own thoughts.


    This was impossible!


    Was it really that simple?


    Just relying on such a young man to come up with such a concept, was he able to complete a technology that would change the course of history as they knew it?


    Many people could not accept it.


    One had to know that every time they carried out scientific research design and research, they had to invest a large amount of money and manpower.


    According to Anderson¡¯s plans, artificial intelligence was not something that could be easily created.


    However, the current situation seemed to be¡­possible to turn into a reality.


    Compared to those who could not accept it, some of them who knew Joseph and Robert better already wanted to have technological exchanges and business cooperation with Anderson.


    This was because there was still a huge gap in the world of artificial intelligence.


    Regardless of whether all the functions that Anderson wanted to achieve could be implemented, any improvements that could be made would bring about a significant change in the world.


    This meant that even Anderson¡¯s unfinished artificial intelligence had great commercial value.


    Moreover, such artificial intelligence could be used in too many areas.


    Cars, planes, ships, and other vehicles¡­ All of them could be improved.


    The aerospace industry could also use such technology.


    Even if it couldn¡¯t completely be replaced by artificial intelligence, it could update the entire network intelligence system of the human world.


    Time passed slowly for a few minutes.


    An old cough sounded and immediately attracted everyone¡¯s attention.


    Everyone looked at President Joseph.


    Joseph¡¯s gaze was very complicated. His entire body was trembling slightly as if he was a little excited.


    Seeing Joseph in this state, everyone present quieted down once again.


    As for those who had already participated in several Science & Technology Summits, other than the surprise on their faces, their hearts were even more unsettled.


    In the past, President Joseph was a calm researcher, who never showed any sort of excitement or rash emotions on his face in front of others.


    This was the first time they had seen him react in such a way.


    At the same time, seeing President Joseph in such a state, Robert was very excited but was able to hide his inner state well.


    However, it was obvious that President Joseph had already made a decision in his heart.


    President Joseph slowly exhaled, looked at Anderson, and said, ¡°Anderson, come with me.¡±


    After saying that, he stood up from his chair and walked toward the door of one of the meeting rooms.


    However, halfway through, he suddenly remembered something and stopped walking. He then turned to Robert, ¡°Take a break for ten minutes. The exhibition will continue after that!¡±


    Robert nodded and looked at the others helplessly.


    To be honest, he did not want to stay in this boring Science & Technology Summit.


    The key to the door of a new era was about to appear. Although he could not be a participant in it, he was satisfied to have been just a witness.


    This Anderson could have come yesterday or even tomorrow.


    Why had he decided on doing this today?


    No, next time, someone else had to host the summit.


    Otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t be able to contain himself if this happened during the next summit.


    Just now, in Anderson¡¯s demonstration, he saw the name of the folder: Iron Suit.


    From the name, it was obvious that Anderson¡¯s goal was to build a suit of armor.


    Artificial intelligence was just a subdirectory of the iron suit.


    In short, Anderson¡¯s AI was a program for this particular iron suit.


    Maybe Anderson wanted to build a robot that could operate an iron suit like in the movies.


    To do that, he divided up a lot of technical directions and sorted all the files neatly.


    There were even some blank folders labeled ¡®untitled¡¯.


    This also meant that he actually had a general idea of what he wanted. Otherwise, he would never have casually filled out such a file name.


    In Anderson¡¯s mind, everything was being prepared for him to unleash his iron suit to the world.


    That included things like ¡®Alloy-elemental titanium¡¯, which was also in the sub-directory of ¡®Artificial Intelligence¡¯, and some other untitled folders.


    Perhaps next time, Anderson would bring him a new surprise!


    Robert calmed himself down and prepared to carry on with the boring technology demonstration.


    On the other side, President Joseph¡¯s two assistants slowly pushed open the door.


    The sunlight shone in, causing the people in the venue to involuntarily cover their eyes.


    At this moment, Anderson smiled. He looked at the door and felt that his future was now filled with hope and endless possibilities.


    This door was his new starting point!


    Soon, he disconnected his phone from the projector. Under the crowd¡¯s envious gaze, he walked out of the exhibition without looking back..

 Chapter 8

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    In the long corridor, there were snow-white walls on both sides and bright, white lights lining the ceiling with a 5-meter spacing in between.


    Under the soft light, four figures walked slowly.


    Other than the sound of footsteps, there were no other sounds.


    President Joseph walked steadily with two assistants on his left and right. They were also his students.


    Anderson walked behind President Joseph with a calm expression, causing President Joseph¡¯s two students to constantly look at him, their eyes filled with an inexplicable meaning.


    In their opinion, although this kid had been acknowledged by President Joseph, this was only the first step. After that, he would face even more tests.


    After all, this guy was about the same age as them. It was already very good that he had such insight and could come up with the concept of artificial intelligence.


    Although they had also seen Anderson¡¯s preliminary simulation of the concept of artificial intelligence, they were still far from being able to make a clear judgment based on experience and intuition like the two presidents.


    Therefore, they had never thought that Anderson would be able to create a finished product of artificial intelligence because it simply felt too good to be true.


    After turning a corner, President Joseph suddenly slowed his footsteps and looked at Anderson with a strange expression. ¡°Kid, actually, I really want to open up your head and see what it looks like on the inside! Your thoughts are definitely not something an ordinary brain circuit can think of.¡±


    Seeing President Joseph¡¯s serious expression, Anderson was instantly stunned.


    Was the President really going to dissect him open just to study him?


    This was just a small artificial intelligence and he was already thinking about studying his brain.


    If he were to bring out all the other, more amazing dark technologies, he wondered how long it would take before he was placed on the surgical table and dissected by other researchers.


    Perhaps the scientists of the entire world would go crazy.


    Anderson shook his head with a bitter smile.


    Meanwhile, Joseph¡¯s two assistants were also stunned on the spot.


    Was this still their serious and unsmiling teacher?


    This was President Joseph. Since when did he interact with younger people in such a casual manner?


    President Joseph¡¯s sternness was well known. They had been with President Joseph for five years.


    However, they had never encountered such treatment.


    Had President Joseph changed?


    Various thoughts kept popping up in the two assistants¡¯ minds.


    When Joseph saw the helpless expression on Anderson¡¯s face, he immediately smiled and wrinkles appeared on his face.


    It had been a long time since he had met such an interesting young man.


    This young man had been nervous at first before he went on stage but once he was up there, it was clear that he had regained his confidence.


    Now, he had even obtained his own recognition and was still able to maintain a normal state of mind.


    All these signs showed that this young man was very confident in his own ideas and did not have any doubt in his abilities.


    In fact, even now, Joseph still had this trace of doubt in his heart.


    He could not believe his own judgment.


    After all, Anderson was really too young, even younger than when he had led the team back then.


    Even when he saw the data displayed by Anderson, the first thought that popped up in his mind was that Anderson had a scientific research team under him and an elite one at best.


    It was even stronger than his original team. Otherwise, the completion rate of this technology would never have been so perfect.


    Either that or Anderson had stolen the other people¡¯s research results.


    Such a thing was not uncommon in the world where technology was prevalent.


    Some people worked hard for most of their lives just to develop a technology that could change the world while others within their team would simply ¡®sell¡¯ the results for their own profits.


    However, after Joseph carefully understood the technology and investigated Anderson¡¯s background, he immediately denied this speculation.


    First of all, as Anderson said, his background was just that of an ordinary arms dealer. The company he ran had problems, so it was impossible to support an elite research team.


    Stealing other people¡¯s research results was even more impractical than the previous idea.


    This was because the aspects involved in Anderson¡¯s ideas were too broad. It could even be said that they were even a little ahead of their time.


    Even Hyman Tech had not reached such a level, let alone other technology companies.


    These ideas could not be implemented silently in this world where technology was prevalent.


    Therefore, all the results showed one answer.


    It was that this super artificial intelligence technology that could change the world was conceived and implemented by Anderson himself.


    And Anderson¡¯s self-confidence, as well as the various data demonstrated, proved that this was not an empty theory.


    Anderson had evidence, and most importantly, his eyes lit up when he talked about the technology that he had developed.


    This was the reason why Joseph was willing to believe in Anderson.


    Joseph smiled and gently patted Anderson¡¯s shoulder. ¡°Although I¡¯m ready to believe you now, there are still some parts of me that have doubts.¡±


    Anderson nodded, indicating that there was no problem.


    ¡°Anderson, what I want to know is, how did you do all this? In your design concept, there are 12 disciplines and 19 research directions. Even the most experienced team in Hyman Technology wouldn¡¯t dare to say that they would succeed. I hope you can answer this question for me.¡±


    Joseph looked at Anderson seriously, his face full of expectation.


    The two assistants beside Joseph kept looking at Anderson and Joseph, completely confused about the situation.


    Naturally, Anderson noticed the state of these two people. At first, these two people were disdainful of him, but now after seeing their mentor like this, they were probably dumbfounded.


    However, the attitude of these two people did not matter to him.


    Seeing Joseph¡¯s somewhat anxious expression, Anderson replied in a serious tone, ¡°I¡¯m self-taught!¡±


    ¡°Self-taught?¡±


    In an instant, Joseph was also dumbfounded.


    It was obvious that this answer was not within his imagination.


    He could not believe it, but when he saw Anderson¡¯s sincere and serious expression, he could only shake his head helplessly. ¡°There were many people who praised me and gave me a lot of glory and titles such as a new star in the scientific world, a man who changed the world, a scientific monster, and so on.


    ¡°But now, I feel like you¡¯re the one who deserves it more! You are clearly a scientific monster, to be able to come up with such a thing on your own is really too strange.¡±


    The generous praise came from President Joseph¡¯s mouth.


    Anderson understood that he probably would not be prodded further on how he was able to develop such an idea in the future. However, he wasn¡¯t worried about that either as even if they investigated more, they would not be able to find anything.


    That was because all the knowledge was stored in his mind.

 Chapter 9

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    Anderson smiled and said, ¡°You flatter me. I¡¯m just standing on the shoulders of giants.¡±


    ¡°On the shoulders of giants?¡± Joseph asked curiously.


    ¡°Yes, if it weren¡¯t for these seniors who summarized these knowledge subjects, I wouldn¡¯t have thought of these things. I just jumped off their own ideas. I was lucky,¡± Anderson explained modestly.


    ¡°Anderson, you brat¡­¡± Joseph scolded jokingly.


    Suddenly, Joseph looked at Anderson as if he thought of something. His gaze became a little dim.


    ¡°It would be great if you could have appeared thirty years earlier. Brat, I can see that you have a lot of ideas from the names of your folder. There seems to be a lot of things you haven¡¯t displayed yet,¡± Joseph said.


    Anderson nodded. ¡°Well, I do have a lot of ideas but I can¡¯t implement them all yet. I need some time.¡±


    ¡°Unfortunately, I¡¯m old. I may not see the day when you finally do.¡± Joseph shook his head.


    ¡°You don¡¯t have to be so discouraged. You just turned 60. You may see it one day. Don¡¯t worry, the chance is there,¡± Anderson said affirmatively.


    Joseph didn¡¯t say anything. He just stared into Anderson¡¯s eyes as if he wanted to know if Anderson was deliberately comforting him.


    After the two looked at each other for five seconds, Joseph confirmed that Anderson wasn¡¯t joking. He was serious.


    In an instant, Joseph¡¯s gloomy eyes regained their light. Although it sounded incredible, he still chose to believe it.


    Just like the Super Artificial Intelligence developed by Anderson this time, even though it was incredible, there were still other miracles on the horizon.


    Perhaps Anderson could create a miracle for him over and over again.


    Joseph was willing to believe it. He turned around and looked at his two assistants.


    ¡°Go and inform our most elite research team. We will now begin an in-depth discussion on Anderson¡¯s technology.¡±


    The two assistants heard Joseph¡¯s instructions and recovered from their shock. They subconsciously replied, ¡°Okay.¡±


    The two assistants walked quickly to the other side of the corridor while Anderson followed Joseph into the conference room¡¯s round table.


    Soon, a group of people in professional attire walked in.


    From their appearance, they all seemed to be in their forties.


    Everyone took their seats.


    Joseph sat at the center of the table while Anderson sat beside him. Both of them had calm eyes as they waited for everyone to arrive.


    Finally, when the last gray-haired old man walked into the room, the door was closed by the two assistants outside.


    The gray-haired old man glanced at Joseph and said with a smile, ¡°What happened? Why are you calling us here so urgently?¡±


    ¡°Is there any new discovery at this year¡¯s Science & Technology Summit?¡± Another middle-aged man with brown curly hair asked. ¡°Or has the Research & Development Fund for new weapons been distributed?¡±


    Hearing their words, Joseph shook his head but a strange smile appeared on his face.


    ¡°Old man, just say what you want to say,¡± the white-haired old man said helplessly to Joseph.


    ¡°Yes, President. There must be something very important for all of us to be gathered here.¡±


    Suddenly, a researcher wearing thick-rimmed glasses pointed at Anderson who was beside Joseph and said, ¡°President, if I¡¯m not wrong, our meeting this time must have something to do with this kid!¡±


    At this moment, the researcher who was constantly speaking out his thoughts in the meeting room was attracted by the researcher¡¯s words. He looked at Anderson who was beside Joseph.


    ¡°Hmm? I just noticed that there¡¯s an unfamiliar young man beside the President.¡±


    Everyone looked at Anderson¡¯s young and unfamiliar face with a surprised expression.


    One had to know that not everyone could sit on the chair beside President Joseph. That was Vice President Robert¡¯s seat.


    And now, it was actually taken by a young man.


    What kind of identity did this young man have to be qualified to do so?


    Everyone¡¯s gaze kept sweeping over Anderson¡¯s face, continuously speculating about Anderson¡¯s identity.


    One of the most common thoughts was that Anderson might be a relative of Vice President Robert.


    After all, every seat here was fixed and no one was allowed to randomly mix them around. Even the President could not casually ask a stranger to sit in their chairs.


    That kind of behavior was equivalent to offending the original member that the seat belonged to.


    These seats also symbolized their identity and strength.


    If you could get everyone¡¯s approval, then you could sit closer to the president¡¯s seat.


    The nearest seat was the vice president¡¯s seat beside the president.


    What exactly did this young man have? That was what made everyone very curious.


    After some thought, they felt like this young man had obtained the recognition of Vice President Robert, or the President wanted to replace him.


    However, unless the President himself spoke up, these were all just speculations.


    Because this had happened before.


    When some members were conducting research on the project, they would occasionally get their sons or other relatives to come over and listen in.


    While some people did this during project audits, it still wasn¡¯t the norm to let someone else sit in for you even if they were related.


    After all, this was Hyman Technology. Those who were able to participate in Hyman Technology¡¯s conference meeting was definitely no ordinary bystander.


    However, normal people who came in and listened in could only stand on the side. They were definitely not qualified to take a seat.


    There was only one situation where they would be able to do so.


    They were someone who was considered a researcher or scientist who had a skill level that the President had acknowledged.


    Otherwise, this fellow would definitely not be able to sit there, let alone sit in the vice president¡¯s seat.


    At this moment, various thoughts emerged in the member¡¯s minds.


    Their gazes were filled with curiosity as they looked at Anderson.


    Finally, Joseph saw that everyone had completely calmed down. He picked up a copy of the design blueprint that had just been printed and had his assistants distribute them to the other researchers.


    Joseph said slowly, ¡°I know that many people have a lot of doubts in their hearts, but I think that everyone can wait for a while and take a look at the documents in their hands first.¡±


    As the documents were distributed to each researcher by his assistants, the entire conference room fell silent again.


    The researchers began to flip through the design blueprint in their hands.


    After flipping through a few pages of the documents, one of the old men felt that something was wrong the more he looked at it.


    ¡°Artificial Intelligence? Joseph, is this what you¡¯re interested in creating now?¡± the white-haired old man looked at Joseph and asked slowly.


    Hearing the white-haired old man¡¯s words, the other researchers also looked at Joseph.


    Why would they suddenly be studying such a thing? This was not part of Hyman Technology¡¯s current research plan.


    Was the AI related to the young man who popped up in the conference room?

 Chapter 10

    At this moment, everyone was filled with doubts.


    As Joseph¡¯s most elite team, their daily research work was carried out according to a set plan.


    However, they didn¡¯t receive such an order regarding the research on artificial intelligence.


    However, Joseph had now taken out such a document for them to see and had gathered everyone over.


    This was the first time such a thing had happened.


    After all, as the elders of Hyman Technology, they usually studied various weapons in their respective research rooms.


    In the past, no matter how important the research was, it wasn¡¯t necessary for all of them to gather together.


    After all, there wasn¡¯t any technology in the world that was worth their combined research.


    This meant that Joseph valued this research very much.


    Joseph even thought that only by gathering all of them here would he be satisfied.


    ¡°Joseph, this is not in our research plan,¡± the white-haired old man said as he put down the design in his hand.


    ¡°President, we still have a lot of research projects in hand. We don¡¯t have time to study other projects now,¡± another researcher explained.


    ¡°President, according to your blueprint, the research on artificial intelligence is still in the initial stage but the goal mentioned later is on another level.¡±


    At this time, many researchers in the meeting room put down the blueprint in their hands and looked at Joseph, hoping that he could give an answer.


    After all, just taking out a concept design like this would force them to put down their current work and carry out scientific research that had unpredictable future results.


    After all, a lot of scientific research was just a conjecture. If they really wanted to realize it, it would take the span of five, maybe even ten years or more.


    Maybe it was something that could not even be verified within their lifetime.


    ¡°President, I believe that with just this design, you would not gather all of us here for no reason. You must have some evidence, right?¡± another middle-aged man with sparse hair said confidently.


    Joseph smiled and said, ¡°You guys take a look first. I do have some evidence.¡±


    After saying that, Joseph nodded to Anderson beside him.


    Anderson took out his phone that had already been connected to the projector and began to display his data parameters.


    Seeing this scene, the researchers in the field immediately quieted down.


    They kept comparing the design drawings in their hands with the data on the projection.


    In less than three minutes, the expression on their faces all changed.


    The gray-haired old man¡¯s furrowed brows gradually relaxed, and an excited expression appeared on the face of the middle-aged man with sparse hair.


    After the others finished looking at it, they exchanged a few glances with the other researchers and saw the shocked expression in each other¡¯s eyes.


    The white-haired old man looked at Joseph and coughed lightly. He then sighed. ¡°Joseph, as expected of you.¡±


    The old man looked at Joseph with a complicated expression. He was one of the candidates to be the next President of the Science & Technology Association.


    However, he did not want to waste his time on managing the Science & Technology Association. He only wanted to put all his attention on scientific research so he voluntarily withdrew from the election.


    ¡°The President is definitely worthy of his current position! He actually figured out all the data parameters to advance artificial intelligence. It can actually be produced!¡±


    ¡°President, I¡¯m more interested in this artificial intelligence now. I hope to be able to participate in this research.¡±


    ¡°It just so happens that I¡¯ve gained a certain interest in this area lately after reading some books about it. Count me in, President!¡±


    ¡°You two, I clearly heard you guys whispering earlier that you just wanted to leave the conference room so you could get back to your research work rather than work on this artificial intelligence.¡±


    ¡°No, don¡¯t frame me. I didn¡¯t say such things.¡±


    ¡°I didn¡¯t either. I¡¯m very interested in the President¡¯s research.¡±


    Seeing the heated discussions and arguments, Joseph¡¯s smile became even brighter.


    He had a moment of reflection on himself and the team. Back then when they had to stay up all night to solve a difficult problem, it was the same for everyone.


    ¡°This is technology that can change the world.¡±


    ¡°With such a technology, all our research can be greatly improved. Whether it¡¯s efficiency or accuracy, it can reduce our workload.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s really incredible that artificial intelligence can achieve such a level.¡±


    ¡°We shouldn¡¯t have wasted all these years on researching these technological weapons. Such technology came so late, so now everyone must pull their weight!¡±


    ¡°Yeah, as a researcher, we should make bold assumptions and be careful to verify. Our thinking shouldn¡¯t degrade with age.¡±


    ¡°Indeed, we are too lax.¡±


    Many researchers kept self-examining themselves, guilt appearing on their faces.


    It had been a long time since they had gathered to discuss like this since a few decades ago.


    The technology in this world was indeed very advanced but only in the aspects of weaponry.


    In other aspects, there was still a huge gap. This could be considered a wake-up call for them.


    From the perspective of artificial intelligence, it was indeed a very good idea.


    Because artificial intelligence could be said to be very backward now, it was very necessary to further develop it.


    Especially now that there was reference data, they could completely use this data to test and simulate the results they needed.


    Perhaps, they were about to start a new era.


    At this moment, everyone had a thought.


    After all, President Joseph had summoned them all. This was already clear.


    At their current age, it was a great honor to be able to participate in such a large-scale research!


    This was the opportunity Joseph gave them.


    Thinking of this, a member clapped, causing the other members to start clapping as well.


    ¡°Joseph, I didn¡¯t expect you to still have such an idea at your age. Making you the President of the Science & Technology Association was the best choice in our lives.¡±


    ¡°Yeah, I didn¡¯t expect that we would have the opportunity to participate in such scientific research.¡±


    ¡°This artificial intelligence can be said to be a technology that transcends eras!¡±


    ¡°Can such an artificial intelligence still be called artificial intelligence?¡±


    ¡°I think we should give this technology a new name!¡±


    Everyone¡¯s emotions became more and more intense as they thought of a new name for this technology.


    Joseph, who was sitting at the head of the table, lightly tapped the table. Everyone immediately quieted down and looked at Joseph.


    Joseph nodded slightly, but then he looked at Anderson and said, ¡°Anderson, what do you think of the name ¡®Super Brain¡¯? I think it¡¯s quite apt for what we¡¯ll be doing!¡±

 Chapter 11

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    Joseph quietly looked at Anderson, waiting for his answer.


    Seeing this scene at the time, all the researchers in the meeting room were stunned, their faces filled with disbelief.


    What was going on?


    Some people subconsciously rubbed their eyes as if they had seen things wrongly.


    Joseph looked at everyone¡¯s expressions. He smiled and shook his head, saying, ¡°This design was not thought up by me.¡±


    It would have been fine if Joseph did not explain. However, now that the cat was out of the bag, everyone was stunned.


    This was a joke!


    This kind of technology was not thought up by the president, so who else could it have been?


    The subjects and research directions contained in this design document were all explained in great detail. It was definitely something that only an experienced researcher could accomplish.


    However, after seeing the president asking the young man in front of them about the situation, it was clear that the research was most likely related to this kid called Anderson who was in front of them.


    However, that wasn¡¯t right. This kid looked so young and didn¡¯t seem like an experienced researcher.


    Suddenly, everyone remembered their initial thoughts that Anderson was Vice President Robert¡¯s stand-in.


    Could it be that this kid was representing Vice President Robert to attend the meeting?


    This felt like the most plausible explanation for why he was in the other¡¯s seat.


    Moreover, today was also Vice President Robert¡¯s time to host the Science & Technology Summit.


    The logic seemed sound.


    ¡°I know. It¡¯s Robert, right? I remember that Robert was very interested in philosophy and sociology some time ago. Joseph, are you secretly doing research with Robert? How could you forget me? This is really infuriating,¡± the white-haired old man pretended to be angry and scolded him.


    Hearing the white-haired old man¡¯s words, the other researchers present instantly understood.


    That¡¯s right. Perhaps the president meant that he didn¡¯t come up with this thing alone and Robert had contributed to it.


    After all, the president was very clear about these things.


    As researchers, they did not lack money. They worked hard every day to do research, hoping that one day they would be able to add their own name to a technology that could change the world.


    Seeing these old friends looking for reasons for him and even thinking of Robert in the midst of it all, Joseph felt a little helpless.


    However, he also knew that this kind of technology was thought up by a young man. Even though this was prevalent knowledge to himself, there was a part of him that still could not accept it.


    After all, this was research, not a game.


    However, this matter still had to be clarified.


    Joseph shook his head again and looked at the white-haired old man who was older than him sitting across the round table. He explained, ¡°William, you¡¯re wrong. Robert did not come up with this technology.¡±


    The white-haired old man named William suddenly widened his eyes. He could not accept it and said, ¡°Since it¡¯s not you nor Robert, then tell me, who is it? It can¡¯t be this young man, right?¡±


    Everyone¡¯s eyes instantly fell on Joseph, hoping to know the answer to this question.


    If nothing unexpected happened, they would most likely have to carry out research on this technology.


    But if they did not know who the author of this document was, they would not be able to carry out their research with peace of mind.


    It all pertained to the professional ethics of a scientific researcher.


    They must never casually use someone else¡¯s scientific results. This was also a main principle at Hyman Technology.


    Although the scientific community stole the research results of others and was even prevalent in the community, they could not stop others from doing so as they were now in a race with younger and potentially brighter researchers than them.


    However, they still had their own procedures as the older generation of researchers.


    Joseph nodded, patted on Anderson¡¯s shoulder, and said, ¡°That¡¯s right. Just now, the research you saw was all done by Anderson himself.¡±


    Hearing Joseph¡¯s explanation, everyone at the table was stunned. They subconsciously looked at Anderson.


    ¡°It was conceived and realized by this young man?¡± The middle-aged man with sparse hair said in such a way as if he was asking himself a question.


    Obviously, he could not accept it.


    At this moment, everyone had the same mentality as him.


    Everyone had a surprised expression on their face as they started discussing among themselves.


    ¡°It can¡¯t be. These perfect designs were designed by this young man?¡±


    ¡°Even I might not be able to achieve such a level. I¡¯ve been engaged in scientific research for more than 30 years.¡±


    ¡°This young man looks even younger than my son. Even the smartest scientific research genius would not be able to achieve such a level.¡±


    ¡°Such scientific research results definitely require a lot of time to perfect to such an extent.¡±


    ¡°Please don¡¯t make such a joke, President Joseph!¡±


    After a discussion, many people had come to a consensus that the young man was definitely not the person behind all this.


    William looked at Joseph solemnly, obviously not satisfied with this answer.


    Looking at the crowd¡¯s doubtful eyes, Joseph suddenly felt very tired.


    Why did no one believe the truth?


    He slowly exhaled and said seriously, ¡°Look at my expression, do I look like I¡¯m joking?¡±


    Joseph¡¯s expression was solemn and took up the posture of Hyman Technology¡¯s founder and the President of the Science & Technology Association.


    Everyone noticed Joseph¡¯s serious expression and they all fell silent.


    They knew Joseph very well. When he became serious, he would look like this.


    However, if these things were really created by this young man like what President Joseph had said, then the young man¡¯s understanding of scientific research was far too terrifying.


    He had achieved something before the age of twenty that they might even be able to achieve in their lifetime.


    Everyone looked at each other and fell silent.


    Joseph nodded slightly when he saw this. He knew that there were still many people who did not believe this answer.


    However, none of that was important now.


    As long as Anderson had the ability, he would prove all of this in the future.


    After the matter was clarified, it was time to officially carry out the ¡®Super Brain¡¯ research.


    ¡°Alright, let¡¯s put aside everything else. I only have one purpose for taking out this document. Can you guys implement these technologies?¡±


    Joseph swept his gaze across the room and looked at everyone¡¯s silent expressions.


    After hearing the President¡¯s words, everyone did not want to be conflicted anymore. They could only focus their attention on the design blueprint and flip through it again, hoping to figure out its feasibility.


    Everyone was an experienced old researcher. They flipped through the design drawings again to carefully verify the research.


    In less than a few minutes, everyone put down the design drawings in their hands at the same time and looked at William who was on the other side of the table.


    William was silent for a moment and nodded. ¡°There are no problems with it. We shall proceed..¡±

 Chapter 12

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    William glanced at Anderson who was sitting quietly beside Joseph with a complicated expression.


    How could such a young man design such a scientific report?


    After he checked it again and combined it with the projected data, he found it more and more unacceptable.


    This was because the data was too detailed and clear. It was basically a complete production report that had been meticulously designed.


    Yes, if they really followed this method, it would be a foolproof operation. They could simply find a random lab to complete it.


    They didn¡¯t need to carry out any experiments at all because the report had already been completed.


    ¡°Actually, this report is already very clear. Even if we weren¡¯t involved, another company with little understanding of the field of artificial intelligence would be able to do it,¡± William added.


    ¡°What do you think, Anderson?¡± Joseph looked at Anderson and asked.


    ¡°I hope this technology will be carried out and promoted by Hyman Technology, Mr. Joseph. Of course, I would at least like my name to be mentioned in the research as well,¡± Anderson said with a smile.


    ¡°Okay, then it¡¯s decided.¡± Joseph nodded and looked at William. ¡°Now, we will start the study and research according to this design and the information in Anderson¡¯s phone.¡±


    William nodded and said, ¡°Okay, I understand.¡±


    At this moment, the mood of everyone in the room suddenly surged.


    This meant that they were about to conduct research that would change the current state of their world¡¯s technology.


    Perhaps in a few months, they would be able to even see the fruits of their labor.


    Beside them, Anderson noticed the somewhat tense atmosphere in the room and his heart was filled with anticipation.


    The time to witness a miracle was coming.


    Anderson copied all the information about artificial intelligence from his phone.


    Soon, a USB flash drive was placed in all the researchers¡¯ hands. They held the design drawings precariously and walked quickly to the laboratory.


    When this group of top researchers walked past the science building, it was the first time they had all been seen gathered together in a public place.


    At this time, the Science & Technology Summit had just ended. Countless people were walking out of the elevator or down the stairs to exit the exhibition center.


    When they saw the scene through the glass from upstairs, they were instantly dumbfounded.


    Those researchers were all top scientists who had appeared in various scientific journals.


    They basically wouldn¡¯t show their faces outside. Many people could only witness them when they were working in their laboratories.


    Now, they were all gathered together?


    ¡°What¡­ What happened?¡±


    ¡°Look, is the young man walking in the crowd the same young man who appeared at the exhibition?¡±


    ¡°F*ck, it¡¯s true!¡±


    ¡°Could it be that the reason these big shots are here has to do with that kid?¡±


    ¡°Does anyone remember what technology that kid was promoting?¡±


    ¡°I remember, it was something about artificial intelligence.¡±


    ¡°Yeah! If the details are right, he said it was some sort of super artificial intelligence that could change the world!¡±


    ¡°Sending out such a senior research scientist, could it be that this artificial intelligence can really be realized?¡±


    ¡­


    People kept discussing and soon, the unexpected incident that happened at the Science & Technology Summit became a hot topic on the internet.


    Of course, Anderson didn¡¯t care about what they were saying at all.


    After all, compared to building artificial intelligence, these were trivial matters.


    Not far from the science exhibition building, there was a cluster of Science & Technology labs.


    The largest lab was the core of Hyman Tech¡¯s Science & Technology elite research team, the largest and most well-equipped laboratory.


    Other than Joseph and Robert, only the old team members could enter.


    ¡°Shall we just start?¡± the middle-aged man with sparse hair said excitedly.


    William looked at Anderson with a strange look in his eyes and said, ¡°Young man, what do you think?¡±


    Joseph saw William¡¯s attitude and immediately understood what William was thinking.


    Obviously, he was still worried about the previous matter. He didn¡¯t believe that this technology was conceived by Anderson.


    Joseph also looked at Anderson and said, ¡°Anderson, since this is your scientific design, it should be led by you. After all, you should know all the details and key points.¡±


    After Joseph said that, he looked at William. These words were directed at the older man in front of him.


    William looked at Joseph and then at Anderson. A hint of fighting spirit flashed in his eyes. He smiled and said, ¡°I think this proposal is not bad. Anderson, the research this time will be led by you. What do you think?¡±


    ¡°Sounds good!¡± Anderson said confidently.


    Seeing Anderson¡¯s attitude, William was a little surprised.


    This young man actually answered so easily and decisively. He wanted to see exactly how good this kid was.


    At this time, Joseph also looked at Anderson with a smile.


    There were two reasons why he had told him to let Anderson lead the research this time.


    First, it was because of William¡¯s attitude.


    Second, it was because he also wanted to see Anderson¡¯s actual skill level. After all, theory and practice were two different things.


    No matter how well someone might be in theoretical stuff, there were plenty who were still terrible when it came to practical application.


    Compared to theoretical approaches, he preferred practical application instead.


    However, even if there was a problem with Anderson¡¯s practical ability, he would not be disappointed.


    After all, this kid was still young. This time, he would treat it as letting him learn through practical experience.


    ¡°President Joseph, actually, this is also my first time doing real scientific research. I might not always know what¡¯s the right way of doing things. I hope that I can create this artificial intelligence technology together with everyone. I might have more things to learn from everyone.¡± Anderson looked at Joseph and William, his tone sincere.


    Soon, everyone started to act and start their research according to the design drawings provided by Anderson.


    As if he had become a member of this laboratory, Anderson kept discussing the key points of each research direction with the other researchers.


    William and Joseph didn¡¯t believe it at first. After all, it wasn¡¯t easy to convince these experienced researchers to work with someone who was considered wet behind the ears.


    However, when the results of all the programs were out, the researchers were all dumbfounded.


    All of them could run without any problems.


    Just like that, the entire laboratory became busy. While Anderson sat in his seat and observed data on multiple computer screens at the same time, he would immediately order the relevant personnel to make the appropriate adjustments when he noticed that there was something wrong with the data.


    At this moment, Anderson had unknowingly become the core of the entire laboratory.


    When Joseph and William saw this scene, they were so shocked that they were speechless.


    ¡°Joseph, where did this little monster come from?¡± William slowly asked as he wiped the sweat on his forehead.


    ¡®I want to know too!¡¯ Joseph grumbled in his heart as he looked at William speechlessly..

 Chapter 13

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    In fact, Joseph had actually wanted to use this opportunity to give Anderson a good reality check on his inexperience.


    He even had encouraging words scripted in his head already.


    ¡°Anderson, don¡¯t be discouraged. Although your theoretical knowledge is very rich, this is a practical operation. Mistakes are bound to happen.¡±


    Yes, Joseph had even thought of his lines.


    Then, he would take the opportunity to absorb Anderson into Hyman Technology and let him become his disciple.


    However, the result shocked him greatly.


    This kid was a scientific monster, a completely illogical being of existence!


    It was one thing for his theoretical understanding to be so outstanding, but his practical application was actually so perfect that no one could find any fault with it.


    Just now, when Anderson was preparing to debug the data, William had already prepared to go up and give him some good ¡®pointers¡¯.


    But every time Joseph saw that William was about to speak, Anderson immediately solved the problem.


    This happened several times.


    Seeing this, Joseph laughed in his heart. However, in order to take care of William¡¯s ego, he held back his laughter.


    After all, in the entire laboratory, everyone was terrified of William except for him.


    If anyone had a problem or was not serious, William would criticize that person.


    Sometimes, even as the founder of Hyman Technology, William would not hold back on his remarks.


    Now that he was faced with such a capable kid, it seemed like even the neurotic William could not say anything.


    Time continued to pass and soon, nighttime had also passed.


    The whole laboratory was still very lively. Everyone was either resting or discussing the experiment¡¯s progress.


    During this time, William was sitting in the chair next to Anderson.


    The two of them were concentrating on observing the data. Whenever there was anything unusual, William would communicate with Anderson, trying to solve the problem at the first possible moment.


    Just when William was about to grab a glass of water, Joseph walked over and patted his shoulder. ¡°Old man, it¡¯s been a night. You should go and rest for a while. Get some breakfast.¡±


    Just as William was about to shake his head and refuse, he heard Anderson say, ¡°Old sir, thank you for helping me here. It¡¯s made my life a lot easier. I¡¯m still young so it¡¯s not a big deal for me to stay up all night. However, you should take care of your health when you can.¡±


    Anderson¡¯s relaxed eyes clearly showed that he was very confident about the scientific research this time.


    William looked at Anderson and patted him on the shoulder. ¡°Okay, I trust you to keep everything in check.¡±


    Under the lead of one of Joseph¡¯s assistants, William went to the lounge next door to enjoy a sumptuous breakfast.


    Joseph looked at his other assistant beside him and said, ¡°Jack, you are now taking over William¡¯s position. If there are any abnormalities in the data, tell Anderson. He will tell you what to do.¡±


    The young man named Jack nodded excitedly. He did not think that he would be able to participate in such research.


    ¡°Anderson, what do you want to eat? I¡¯ll bring it over for you,¡± Joseph said with a smile.


    ¡°Sandwiches or hamburgers!¡± Anderson answered casually.


    He stared at the screen. He knew that many people were resting or eating breakfast, so there was no one else keeping an eye out on the data at the moment.


    Joseph also understood the importance of this matter. He didn¡¯t bother Anderson anymore and went to the break room next door.


    Joseph sat next to William and asked with a smile, ¡°How is it? Are you satisfied?¡±


    William took a bite of the sandwich and looked at Joseph. ¡°Did you do it on purpose?¡±


    ¡°On purpose?¡± Joseph did not understand.


    ¡°You clearly know that this kid has very strong practical application but you still deliberately said that you wanted him to lead the experiment. Are you not deliberately trying to hurt me?¡± William said helplessly.


    ¡°You¡¯re wrongfully accusing me. I really didn¡¯t know that this kid¡¯s practical ability was so strong,¡± Joseph explained.


    ¡°Really?¡± William looked at Joseph suspiciously.


    ¡°Of course it¡¯s true. I¡¯ve investigated his background myself. This kid was the heir of an arms dealer who faced company bankruptcy. He has no scientific background whatsoever,¡± Joseph explained helplessly.


    Hearing Joseph¡¯s serious answer, William forgot about the sandwich that he was eating in his hand.


    He subconsciously looked at the back of the man who was carefully observing the data through the glass wall.


    ¡°Maybe this kid really is a genius!¡±


    ¡°I think so too.¡±


    ¡°Yeah, not only did he think of such amazing technology, but he¡¯s also so skilled in operating it. He doesn¡¯t look like the son of a businessman at all. He was born to be a scientist!¡±


    ¡°How far has the experiment progressed?¡± Joseph asked.


    ¡°Soon. We might be able to see the preliminary results in two days,¡± said William.


    ¡°So fast?¡± Joseph was shocked.


    ¡°Yeah, I didn¡¯t expect it to be so fast either. This is all thanks to that kid. Because he was leading the entire experiment, there were basically no problems and no obstacles along the way. Even with my vast experience, I couldn¡¯t be as decisive as him¡­ I¡¯m still so old.¡± William sighed.


    ¡°This kid is really inhuman. I even joked with him and told him that I wanted to open his head and see what¡¯s inside!¡± Joseph said with a smile.


    ¡°Oh, President Joseph actually knows how to joke? That¡¯s a rare sight,¡± William said.


    ¡°Maybe I¡¯m old too. When I see outstanding young people, I always want to be able to communicate with them and have a common language,¡± Joseph replied.


    ¡°This kid is too outstanding. Why don¡¯t you take him as a disciple and let him inherit Hyman Technology?¡± said William.


    ¡°I want to too, but this kid has a personality. He might not accept it.¡± Joseph shook his head.


    William and Joseph glanced at him from a distance and smiled helplessly.


    Fortunately, there was no one else around them. Otherwise, if they were heard by others, it would cause a huge storm in the entire technological industry.


    William ate the remains of his sandwich and took a sip of hot tea.


    Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something. He looked at Joseph and said, ¡°In two days, we will have the results of our artificial intelligence. I think you can actually contact that side.¡±


    ¡°That side? You mean the military minister of the Star-Spire Country?¡± Joseph asked.


    ¡°The technology we are researching this time is different from the usual. Once it is released, it will cause a huge sensation. Not only the Star-Spire Country, but you should try to contact all countries that have good technological developments and growth,¡± said William.


    ¡°It¡¯s just a preliminary result. Are we going to announce it to the world now?¡± Joseph felt that it was a little too early.


    ¡°I talked to Anderson yesterday. He has a lot of ideas. Can you imagine? This kind of artificial intelligence is just the beginning for him. I have a feeling that this kid will bring us more and more surprises!¡± William said excitedly.


    ¡°I understand. I will contact them. Perhaps¡­we are already on the road to changing the world.¡±


    Joseph nodded solemnly. Then, he looked at Anderson who was seriously operating the instrument on the other side and remained silent..

 Chapter 14

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    Two days quickly passed in the midst of busy work at Hyman Technology¡¯s Science & Technology¡¯s main research facility.


    At this time, in the administration building not far from the White House, it was very quiet.


    In an impeccable office, a man in a military uniform was sitting on a chair, watching the Science & Technology Summit that was held two days ago by the Science & Technology Association.


    Suddenly, a scene that surprised him appeared in the video.


    A young man actually walked to the podium?


    This was the Science & Technology Association, who would dare to cause trouble there?


    For a moment, the man in military uniform wondered if there was something wrong with his video.


    After all, the video he was watching had been sent from the Association itself.


    This was not the cut-out version of the video that was circulating on the internet.


    After all, many of the things displayed at the Science & Technology Summit were semi-finished products or dangerous items that ordinary people could not see.


    The man in military uniform thought for a moment and shouted to the guard outside the door, ¡°Someone, go and call Charles over.¡±


    The guard at the door heard the man¡¯s order. He stood at the door and saluted before closing it and quickly walking to the other side of the corridor.


    After a few minutes, there was a knock on the door.


    ¡°Come in!¡± the man in military uniform said calmly, but his eyes were staring at the video.


    The door opened.


    A muscular man with a crew cut saluted him and said, ¡°General O¡¯Neil, what can I do for you?¡±


    ¡°You were at the Science & Technology Summit the day before yesterday, right?¡± O¡¯Neil looked at Charles and asked.


    ¡°Yes, I was there.¡± Charles nodded.


    ¡°There was an accident in the middle of the exhibition?¡± O¡¯Neil continued to ask.


    Charles thought for a moment and then answered, ¡°Yes, a young man named Anderson appeared in the middle of the exhibition, introducing a piece of technology about artificial intelligence.¡±


    ¡°Was it really just about artificial intelligence?¡± O¡¯Neil asked suspiciously.


    ¡°It seems to be different from ordinary artificial intelligence. According to Anderson, his technology can change the world,¡± Charles replied.


    ¡°Change the world?¡± O¡¯Neil¡¯s face was a little contemptuous. After that, he asked, ¡°What does President Joseph think of this matter?¡±


    ¡°President Joseph seems to take this matter seriously and called this kid away from the scene so that he could speak to him about his research in private.¡±


    ¡°Take it seriously?¡± O¡¯Neil frowned slightly and ordered, ¡°You can go back now.¡±


    After Charles answered respectfully, he left the room.


    Soon, the room became quiet again, leaving O¡¯Neil alone.


    He had seen the footage of Anderson through the video just now, which is why he had asked those questions.


    However, the fact that the young man was able to stand on the podium and not be kicked off the stage showed Joseph¡¯s attitude regarding the matter. He had tacitly agreed to whatever the young man had to say.


    After Charles¡¯ explanation, he had a feeling that things were not that simple. There must be a follow-up to this incident.


    O¡¯Neil was about to pick up the phone on the table and call Joseph to ask what exactly had happened.


    However, before he could make the call, the phone on the table suddenly rang.


    O¡¯Neil picked up the phone and Joseph¡¯s voice suddenly chimed through the other side.


    ¡°O¡¯Neil, are you free now?¡±


    ¡°Yes, I have something I want to talk to you about,¡± O¡¯Neil replied.


    ¡°You can come over. Maybe we can talk in person,¡± Joseph said.


    ¡°Do you need me to go over? Is what you want to talk about very important?¡± O¡¯Neil asked curiously.


    ¡°It is indeed very important. I can¡¯t explain it clearly on the phone,¡± Joseph said seriously.


    Normally, if he could explain things clearly on the phone, it would be curt and to the point. But now, he had no choice. The things that Anderson designed had gone beyond the scope of ordinary technology.


    It was difficult to explain such things in one or two sentences. He had to use examples to explain it clearly.


    O¡¯Neil held up the phone. Thinking of the video he had just watched, combined with Joseph¡¯s current attitude, he already had some ideas in his mind.


    It had been a long time since he had gone to Joseph¡¯s company, after his last buying spree of technological weapons.


    Now, there was only one possibility for Joseph to call him over, and that was that they might have developed a technology that was more important than those high-tech weapons.


    In addition to the words of the young man named Anderson in the video earlier¡­


    ¡°Okay, I understand. I¡¯ll be there right away,¡± O¡¯Neil replied.


    He hung up the call.


    O¡¯Neil put down the phone and walked out of the door. A guard followed behind him consciously.


    When he came to the mansion¡¯s gate, a black car was parked at the door.


    The guard opened the door for O¡¯Neil and then sat in the driver¡¯s seat.


    ¡°Sir, where are we going?¡± the guard asked as he started the car.


    ¡°Our final destination is Hyman Tech¡¯s base. Let¡¯s go to the roof first,¡± said O¡¯Neil.


    ¡°Yes, sir.¡±


    Soon, the sound of an engine was heard. The black car drove toward a high-rise building not far from the administrative building.


    On the roof of this tall building, a helicopter was ready.


    ¡­


    An hour passed.


    A modified helicopter appeared in the sky above Hyman Technology¡¯s research center.


    Whup-whup-whup!


    The helicopter¡¯s sound became louder and louder before finally, it slowly landed in an empty lot in Hyman Technology.


    At this time, two young men who had been waiting for a long time quickly walked to the helicopter and said respectfully, ¡°General O¡¯Neil, welcome to Hyman Technology¡¯s research center!¡±


    O¡¯Neil looked at the two young men and said with a smile, ¡°I remember you. You¡¯re Joseph¡¯s two students, right? One of you is Jack, and the other is Tom.¡±


    ¡°Yes!¡±


    The two men looked at each other with red faces and were a little excited. They did not expect that the general would still remember them.


    After all, such big shots were rare. It was difficult for ordinary people to get in touch with them.


    It was their honor to be remembered by such an influential person.


    Under the lead of Joseph and his two students, they quickly entered the building complex of the research center.


    At this time, in the center of the circular research lab, a robot stood quietly in front of everyone.


    The robot¡¯s head was connected to a helmet-like device, and there were many antennas on the helmet that were receiving information.


    ¡°Intelligence No. 1 is finally completed.¡±


    Seeing this scene, the researchers present heaved a sigh of relief.


    ¡°Should we start the test?¡± the middle-aged man with sparse hair asked impatiently.


    ¡°Wait a little longer,¡± Joseph said calmly.


    ¡°Wait a little longer?¡± Everyone was puzzled.


    It was clearly completed. Shouldn¡¯t the test be carried out?


    Everyone looked at William and found that his expression was also very calm.


    This made everyone even more depressed.


    But in the next moment, a burst of loud laughter suddenly sounded from outside the door.


    ¡°Joseph, you¡¯ve successfully lured out my curiosity!¡±

 Chapter 15

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    Hearing this voice, everyone¡¯s attention was immediately drawn to it.


    They saw a tall and blonde middle-aged man in a military uniform striding toward them.


    Seeing this figure, everyone present had shocked expressions in their eyes.


    Meanwhile, Joseph and William quickly walked toward O¡¯Neil and gave each other a symbolic pat on the chest.


    ¡°Joseph, I¡¯m in your base now. You have to tell me what you¡¯re studying!¡± O¡¯Neil said with a smile.


    ¡°Of course. You can come and take a look.¡± Joseph led O¡¯Neil to the robot.


    O¡¯Neil looked at the strange robot with a puzzled look.


    ¡°Joseph, isn¡¯t this just an ordinary robot?¡±


    ¡°It does look like an ordinary robot, but there¡¯s a huge secret hidden in it.¡±


    ¡°Secret? What secret can a robot have? Does this robot have its own thoughts?¡± O¡¯Neil asked curiously.


    ¡°Huh? How do you know?¡± a middle-aged man with sparse hair asked in surprise.


    ¡°I actually guessed. In addition, I saw what happened at your Science & Technology Summit. It¡¯s about artificial intelligence,¡± O¡¯Neil explained.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect you to guess it. We are indeed doing research on artificial intelligence. We just finished creating this prototype,¡± William said helplessly.


    ¡°The research on artificial intelligence is completed?¡± O¡¯Neil was a little surprised.


    ¡°Yes, it has been completed.¡± Another researcher nodded.


    ¡°If I¡¯m not wrong, you guys only started to confirm the project the day before yesterday, right?¡± O¡¯Neil asked.


    ¡°Yes, it took three days,¡± William replied.


    ¡°Your artificial intelligence research isn¡¯t just a con job, right?¡± O¡¯Neil asked suspiciously.


    ¡°A con job?¡± Some researchers were a little dissatisfied. After all, everyone had spent two days in the laboratory in order to produce these results.


    This was definitely not something that could be casually brushed off. How was this a con job?


    ¡°Although I don¡¯t know much about research, I¡¯ve never heard of anything that can be developed in just three days. I¡¯m afraid it can¡¯t even be a half-finished product,¡± O¡¯Neil said with his reasoning.


    Joseph looked at O¡¯Neil¡¯s serious expression and smiled. ¡°Indeed, under normal circumstances, any research must be carried out carefully. Repeated trial and error is needed to find the best solution. It¡¯s the same even for Hyman Technology. However, this particular research experiment is different.¡±


    O¡¯Neil looked at Joseph curiously and asked, ¡°What¡¯s the difference?¡±


    ¡°For this experimental research, the research team of Hyman Technology was only responsible for helping. The real leader and designer is this young man, Anderson,¡± Joseph said, pointing at Anderson.


    ¡°Anderson? The young man who interrupted the Science & Technology Summit?¡± O¡¯Neil was surprised.


    Although he watched the video and added Charles¡¯ explanation, he didn¡¯t know what to say.


    O¡¯Neil just thought that Joseph thought that the young man named Anderson performed well and had a good understanding of science and technology.


    Therefore, O¡¯Neil thought that Joseph just wanted to induct Anderson into his company.


    But now by hearing Joseph¡¯s words, that was not the case at all.


    This young man could actually lead Joseph¡¯s research team?


    How did he do it?


    Joseph could see O¡¯Neil¡¯s disbelief but he did not want to explain more.


    Compared to the oral explanation, using actions to explain everything was the best way.


    Joseph looked at Anderson and said, ¡°Anderson, you can start the demonstration now.¡±


    Anderson noticed Joseph¡¯s gaze and understood that President Joseph wanted him to get to know O¡¯Neil.


    Anderson nodded and said respectfully to O¡¯Neil, ¡°This is the new generation of artificial intelligence that we have created. Now, just take the appearance of this robot as an example. In essence, this artificial intelligence is relying on a small chip. Currently, it¡¯s been loaded into this robot. Although it looks a little crude, its current degree of intelligence is comparable to a super brain.¡±


    ¡°Comparable to a super brain?¡± O¡¯Neil was puzzled.


    ¡°It¡¯s not just a super brain. The artificial intelligence I designed can not only execute some complicated commands but also solve problems related to human emotions.¡±


    ¡°A cold machine can solve emotional problems?¡± O¡¯Neil obviously did not believe it.


    ¡°Maybe we can have a competition,¡± Anderson suggested.


    ¡°A competition?¡± O¡¯Neil asked.


    ¡°Yes, we can let your special forces soldiers compete with the simple robot we just built,¡± Anderson said confidently.


    ¡°Interesting. Do you mean that a simple robot you casually built can be as good as my elite soldiers?¡± O¡¯Neil sounded a little dissatisfied.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t say that. Didn¡¯t the general want to see the standard of this robot? This is the best way. You should be very familiar with the abilities of the elites under you. You can use your soldiers as a reference,¡± Anderson explained.


    ¡°Okay, I agree,¡± O¡¯Neil replied.


    Soon, the group arrived at a shooting range.


    The guard next to O¡¯Neil picked out a pistol and Robot No. 1 also picked out a pistol.


    Just as the game was about to start, O¡¯Neil suddenly made a suggestion.


    ¡°I think it¡¯s better to play a small game first than simply shooting at the target.¡±


    Anderson looked at O¡¯Neil and asked, ¡°What small game?¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s have a gun assembling game,¡± said O¡¯Neil.


    ¡°No problem.¡±


    ¡°Okay, let¡¯s start now,¡± said O¡¯Neil quickly.


    As soon as he finished speaking, the guard beside him quickly disassembled the gun in his hand.


    This was a trap that O¡¯Neil had deliberately set up.


    Generally, as long as a robot had a basic set program and followed its predetermined rules, there would be no mistakes.


    However, AI robots usually did not fare well with chaotic events.


    Once an accident occurred, if the relevant program had not been set up before, the robot would not be able to act accordingly and had the potential of crashing.


    However, something unexpected suddenly happened.


    When his men began to move, the opposite robot looked at his men, its eyes glowing red as it began to disassemble the gun at the same time.


    If this was just a simple imitation, it wouldn¡¯t be so surprising for a general like him.


    This was because Robot No. 1 and the soldier¡¯s guns were two different models.


    However, Robot No. 1 only looked at the soldier for two seconds.


    After the two-second pause, Robot No. 1¡¯s movements were fast and accurate, faster than the speed at which the soldier finished assembling the guns. It was as if it was a veteran who was proficient in firearms..

 Chapter 16

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    ¡°Is this still a robot?¡± The soldier who assembled the gun was dumbfounded as he muttered to himself.


    He was General O¡¯Neil¡¯s personal guard, a top-notch mercenary who was proficient in a variety of firearms.


    Now, had he actually lost to a robot?


    He felt that his decades of gun knowledge and handling experience were all a joke.


    While the soldier mused on his one-sided feelings, O¡¯Neil saw the whole thing clearly from the side.


    ¡°Could this robot have been imitating and learning from what he saw earlier?¡± O¡¯Neil was suspicious.


    He had observed it carefully just now. When the robot had just started assembling the gun, its movements were a little awkward. Sometimes, it would even observe how the soldier assembled the gun as if to get some tips or pointers.


    This meant that the robot was not very familiar with gun assembly.


    But after familiarizing itself with it for two or three seconds, its movements immediately became faster.


    Its movements became faster and faster, becoming more proficient as the seconds passed.


    In the end, he actually overtook his soldier¡¯s proficiency in assembling guns.


    Noticing this, O¡¯Neil looked at the robot and his expression became solemn.


    Perhaps this robot really had some potential.


    However, he had to continue testing out its limits.


    After all, these soldiers represented him and his abilities.


    He was a five-star general. How could he lose to something that wasn¡¯t even a person?


    O¡¯Neil took a deep breath and looked at Anderson. ¡°Okay, you win the first round.¡±


    ¡°General, what do you want to do next?¡± Anderson said with a smile. From O¡¯Neil¡¯s expression, he knew that he wasn¡¯t convinced. There would definitely be another round of trials.


    At this time, the other researchers were very relieved and happy.


    This result proved that Anderson¡¯s idea was a success.


    Because in the original idea that Anderson had communicated with them, the most important core ability for artificial intelligence was its learning function.


    In the database they had provided, although it contained relevant gun data, it was only information pertaining to a gun¡¯s basic range, weight, and how to use these various firearms.


    It did not include dismantling and assembly of gun parts.


    Who would disassemble a gun in a battle unless that person was so bored that he could not find anything else to do to relax in the midst of chaos?


    Therefore, when they heard about the gun assembly competition just now, they were a little flustered.


    However, when they saw that the robot could actually learn the soldier¡¯s actions and even imitate him, their hearts grew more and more excited.


    This meant that his experiment was basically a success!


    However, as they watched, the researchers suddenly became nervous again because they noticed that General O¡¯Neil¡¯s expression had become a little ugly.


    At that moment, they realized that regardless of the results, things would not end with smiles for both parties.


    If they lost, it meant that there was something wrong with their technology and they were still far from a finished product.


    If they won, it would be equivalent to slapping General O¡¯Neil across the face.


    Therefore, even if the robot won the game, they did not dare to cheer.


    If they angered General O¡¯Neil, then Hyman Technology would lose a big customer.


    Fortunately, General O¡¯Neil had failed his own game and did not have any dissatisfaction. His tone was still relatively calm.


    They had wanted to find an excuse to stop the match.


    However, they did not expect General O¡¯Neil to become more and more courageous. He did not care even if he lost as he wanted to continue the match.


    Now, they were nervous again.


    They had no choice. It was not good to lose or win in this kind of match.


    There was only one result that was the best, and that was simply to get a draw.


    They could only pray that the next trial that General O¡¯Neil had in mind this time would be simpler. It would give them the space to control the robot¡¯s actions and achieve a draw.


    ¡°Since that¡¯s the case, why don¡¯t we increase the difficulty?¡± General O¡¯Neil looked at Anderson and said with a smile, his tone somewhat provocative.


    He seemed to be certain of winning against Anderson as he patted the soldier¡¯s shoulder confidently.


    ¡°General, what do you have in mind?¡± Anderson was as calm as ever and his tone was equally confident.


    Anderson¡¯s confidence even gave the others the illusion that his ¡®Intelligence No. 1¡¯ was omnipotent.


    It felt like a fragile illusion.


    Even the researchers who had participated in the experiment who were also the robot¡¯s creators did not have the confidence to believe they would beat the general¡¯s soldiers.


    After all, the robot had just been developed and was not even fully tested, so they were not confident in the full extent of its abilities.


    Although they had seen Robot No. 1 defeat the general¡¯s soldier, who knew if it was due to good luck or pure ability.


    ¡°This time, we will compete with shooting targets and simulate a rescue operation. We need to kill all the robbers within one minute and save all the hostages,¡± General O¡¯Neil said confidently.


    Saving hostages was something that was easier said than done.


    Even certain special forces soldiers who often carried out such missions could not guarantee that all the hostages would be rescued. The final result was usually exterminating all the robbers so that there would not be any more problems in the future.


    However, this was just a robot. There was absolutely no way to confirm whether the person hiding in the grass was a robber or a hostage that needed to be rescued.


    Since Anderson dared to boast that this robot could sense emotions, he wanted to see if this was true.


    After General O¡¯Neil finished speaking, the competition venue was moved to a new place.


    This was a special shooting range made up of many hills.


    In this special shooting range, there were small bushes and jungles, with some scattered tin cans all around.


    There were also some ¡®human targets¡¯ lying across the field in various positions.


    The soldier quickly occupied a position, which was a small slope.


    On the small slope, there was a bush that could be used as cover.


    This was an excellent position. Through this position, one could observe the full extent of the battlefield.


    At this moment, Anderson had gotten Robot No. 1 to find a vantage point. Although it could not compare to the soldier¡¯s position, it could basically cover four-fifths of the field with its current position.


    ¡°General O¡¯Neil, Robot No. 1 is ready. The game can start at any time,¡± Anderson said with a smile.


    ¡°Okay.¡± General O¡¯Neil looked at William and Joseph and nodded, indicating that the machine could be turned on.


    After that, a mechanical rumbling sound was heard.


    In the next moment, the entire hillside shooting range seemed to have a life of its own and it began to move.


    Except for the bushes and some fixed metal cans that were still in place, the human targets suddenly stood up one by one.


    At the same time, the soldier on the hillside began to shoot.


    Bang, bang, bang!


    Three gunshots rang out in mid-air and three targets that were marked as robbers fell to the ground..

 Chapter 17

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    The soldier proudly looked at another hill not far from him.


    His three shots just now were fast and accurate. He did not give his opponent any leeway to make a move.


    Although he had gained a certain advantage in his first move, he still attached a certain amount of importance to the robot in his heart.


    No matter what, he had indeed lost just now. Losing to a robot had brought shame to the general.


    Therefore, even if he had the advantage now, he would still go all out and fight for General O¡¯Neil¡¯s pride!


    Fight!


    This was a battle. In order to obtain 100% victory, the soldier had repeatedly warned himself in his heart to treat this as a real battle no matter what.


    The soldier adjusted his breathing slightly and focused his gaze on the entire field.


    The next moment, another pile of targets stood up.


    The soldier subconsciously wanted to make a move but turned his wrist instead and forcefully controlled himself.


    Because the targets that stood up this time were marked as criminals who had taken hostages as cover. The two targets were stacked together.


    He could not fire as he liked because it was very likely that he would accidentally end up hurting the civilian.


    After all, if he wanted to kill the robbers, he had to pass through the hostages first. Although it was not impossible with his skills, he could only kill one of them at a time.


    The worst thing was that the targets would be able to counterattack before he got to all of them.


    If he fired and did not get a good shot on the robber, it would be a terrible loss if he accidentally grazed or even shot the civilian instead.


    The risk was too great, so he chose to let these targets pass.


    The soldier was slightly relieved because, at this time, the robot on his right was still quietly in place, not firing a single shot.


    He even suspected that this robot was very likely unable to identify the target and had already crashed in the midst of the chaos.


    Since the other party did not fire, he wanted to make this toy unable to fire a single shot in this competition.


    On the other side.


    Seeing this scene, General O¡¯Neil immediately felt relieved.


    As expected, his test had not gone wrong.


    As expected, this robot could not handle such a complicated situation.


    In such a situation, even veterans who often carried out rescue operations would sometimes not be able to distinguish foe and ally clearly, and an accident would occur.


    Of course, this usually meant civilian casualties.


    After all, in many cases, once an enemy appeared, they would also likely have a gun in their hand. If you could not shoot first, then it was very likely that you would die.


    As a top-notch special force soldier, under such circumstances, he absolutely could not hesitate. As long as he could complete the mission and save most of the hostages, it was acceptable to have some percentage of error.


    Of course, proposing such a competition also had risks for his soldiers.


    After all, this competition was meant to be a show for everyone and there was an important aspect that none of them could forget: the hostages¡¯ lives.


    Therefore, this was different from the first competition. Even if he were to let some criminals slip past, he could not attack the ¡®hostages¡¯.


    Of course, he had already told the soldier to be alert about this earlier.


    Although the two rounds of targets were just the beginning and there were no other moving targets, the soldiers carried out the mission very well.


    They knew when to fire and when to not do so.


    Everything was fine!


    He would definitely win this match!


    O¡¯Neil turned his head to look at the silent robot on the other side of the hill. His strong desire to win instantly faded.


    In the end, it was still just a machine.


    He actually became serious about a match against a machine. It was really ridiculous.


    Thinking of this, O¡¯Neil couldn¡¯t help but shake his head.


    At this time, the group of researchers on the other side of the field looked a little surprised.


    How could this be?


    It wasn¡¯t possible, right?


    Based on the competition earlier, it was clear that their robot had the ability to perfectly mimic the actions of others.


    Moreover, on the way to the hillside shooting range, they had already added the basic data information of the hillside shooting range into Robot No. 1¡¯s database. Although they couldn¡¯t have detailed data at every point¡­ The robot definitely wouldn¡¯t be unable to fire a single shot.


    There might be something wrong with Robot No. 1.


    If this continued, they would definitely lose this match.


    To be honest, they could accept it if they really lost. After all, the soldiers under General O¡¯Neil were definitely the best in the army.


    If they lost in a normal match, they would be able to justify it as long as the loss was not too severe. That was why they had given the robot the information on the shooting range they were currently at.


    Moreover, the two target rounds that the soldier had demonstrated were already enough for the robot to learn from his actions.


    In the first round, Robot No. 1 had intended to test its target. However, it did not fire despite being ready to do so.


    According to the manual speed of Robot No. 1¡¯s gun, its delay was very low to the point that it was non-existent.


    Therefore, in the first round of shooting, no matter how fast the general¡¯s soldier moved or how fast he could knock down the two targets, Robot No. 1 would definitely be able to hit the last one.


    The current targets were basically double targets that were protected by the hostages. While it was a difficult situation, it didn¡¯t mean that shooting the robbers themselves was impossible.


    Because the models of the two targets were different, there was actually some spare space for shooting.


    However, the fact that the soldiers did not shoot in the second round surprised them. After all, according to the soldier¡¯s abilities, they could definitely knock down the target without hurting the civilians.


    From this action, it could be seen that the soldier was seeking stability and consciously avoiding the risk.


    Because there were no enemies here, the soldier was being cautious. He avoided shooting any target that had civilians involved. This way, he could establish in their minds that as long as civilians appeared, they would not shoot.


    However, Robot No. 1 did not need to think so much. He only needed to run according to the chip¡¯s program. Moreover, according to Robot No. 1¡¯s powerful computing ability, as long as the probability was more than 50%, he could shoot accurately.


    Of the three overlapping targets, one of the robber¡¯s shoulder and right hand were completely exposed, which meant they were easy targets with no margin of error.


    However, Robot No. 1 was still waiting, which already showed the problem.


    General O¡¯Neil would definitely not take a fancy to problematic design research, let alone order it.


    However, even if they wanted to solve the problem, they couldn¡¯t because the whole project was led by Anderson. No one knew what was happening to Robot No. 1 except for him.


    The researchers suddenly felt a little dejected. It seemed that this artificial intelligence wasn¡¯t as simple as they had imagined.


    They were still too anxious. It had only been less than an hour.


    Thinking of this, everyone glanced at President Joseph and William, sighing in their hearts. Then, they turned to look at Anderson with a complicated look in their eyes.


    In any case, they could only look at Anderson..

 Chapter 18

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    ¡°It should be about time¡­¡± Anderson muttered to himself.


    To be honest, he didn¡¯t look forward to the second match as much as he did the first one.


    Although he was confident in the first match, he was quite satisfied with the result of the show regardless of its outcomes


    Because it was the first test, any results were good.


    But now, for the second time, Anderson wanted to use this opportunity to test Robot No. 1 more.


    Moreover, this competition was essentially just an exhibition match. Since General O¡¯Neil wasn¡¯t convinced, he decided to let the competition continue.


    But now that the two rounds of gunfire had passed, it was almost enough. After all, if his performance was too ugly, both President Joseph and General O¡¯Neil would probably be very disappointed.


    Anderson nodded to President Joseph, who was not far away and had a somewhat ugly expression on his face, to let him temporarily relax.


    Before the third round of targets appeared, Anderson gently pressed the button on the test instrument in his hand.


    In the next moment, the eyes of Robot No. 1 on the hillside flickered slightly, as if it was blinking.


    At the same time, in the center of the field, many targets were erected again. At the same time, they began to move left and right across the field. These targets had all become moving targets.


    Bang, bang, bang!


    Another few gunshots rang out.


    But this time, it wasn¡¯t only the soldier that made the gunshots. On another small hillside, the robot that had been lying on the ground all this time finally fired.


    This attracted everyone¡¯s attention toward it. A wisp of faint white smoke rose from the hill. This was caused by multiple shots being released in a short period of time.


    Then, everyone looked in the direction of the other shooting range.


    They saw that all the targets on the ground had been shot down. There were only intact civilian targets left on the field.


    Seeing this scene, all the spectators in the field took out their binoculars that they had prepared beforehand.


    The crowd kept glancing at the targets on the ground, silently counting in their hearts to see which colors they were marked with.


    Red was the color that General O¡¯Neil chose for his soldier.


    To him, red was closer to the color of blood and more realistic-looking than blue.


    Blue represented the color of the bullets fired by Robot No. 1.


    Soon, everyone counted all the ink stains in the field.


    As a result, there were eight targets stained with red and only six targets stained with blue.


    Seeing this result, the researchers in the field were relieved. Although they had lost to the general¡¯s soldier by two less, it was very close.


    This result could be said to be very satisfactory.


    However, when the general at the side saw the situation on the field, his face immediately darkened.


    Although it looked like his soldier had won in terms of numbers, his soldier had hit stagnant targets while Robot No. 1 had hit all the criminal targets that had been protected by hostages.


    Moreover, these robbers that were blocked by civilians were moving targets. In comparison, the robot¡¯s ability was obviously stronger.


    The researchers were usually stuck in their laboratory, only looking at the results and counting the colors. Naturally, they didn¡¯t notice the difference.


    At this moment, after the third round of shooting ended, General O¡¯Neil sighed in his heart.


    There was no point in continuing to compete.


    O¡¯Neil was just about to admit defeat when he saw President Joseph beside him suddenly laugh out loud. ¡°O¡¯Neil, the soldiers under you are really skilled. You deliberately didn¡¯t let your soldiers attack the target with hostages, right?¡±


    Before Joseph could finish, William added, ¡°O¡¯Neil, you must be deliberately testing our robot. The soldiers who can be by your side are elites. They are already very familiar with this sort of rescue operation.¡±


    O¡¯Neil looked at the two of them and smiled helplessly. He knew that these two guys were giving him face in this situation.


    ¡°So that¡¯s how it is!¡±


    ¡°No wonder the soldiers did not shoot the target that was holding them hostage. They must be thinking of them as civilians in an actual operation!¡±


    ¡°General O¡¯Neil is really a good general!¡±


    Hearing the people among them start to praise him, O¡¯Neil also understood that it was best to end the competition here.


    From the competition results, it could be seen that Robot No. 1 was indeed powerful. Regardless of whether it was the first or second round, he was stronger than his soldiers.


    Since everyone was willing to give him face, he could only nod his head.


    When the others saw O¡¯Neil¡¯s official stance, smiles appeared on the researchers¡¯ faces. They did not care about the competition¡¯s outcome. They immediately placed all their attention on the research of Robot No. 1.


    ¡°Have you guys tested the frequency of Robot No. 1¡¯s continuous shooting?¡±


    ¡°We have. The frequency is constant and the timing of firing at all the targets is very good.¡±


    ¡°However, there¡¯s a problem. Robot No. 1 actually managed to shoot just the robbers. Why didn¡¯t he shoot at the other targets? It should be easier. Moreover, if the soldiers also shot at the moving targets, wouldn¡¯t it interrupt Robot No. 1¡¯s shooting rhythm?¡±


    ¡°I have a speculation that¡¯s a little ridiculous. Is it possible that Robot No. 1 already knew in advance that the soldier would not shoot at the double moving targets with hostages, so it only needed to calculate according to its own data and attack the targets that would not be attacked by the soldiers?¡±


    ¡°It anticipated the soldier¡¯s actions in advance?¡±


    General O¡¯Neil also heard the researchers¡¯ discussion and immediately fell into deep thought.


    As a general, he had been affected by the psychology of victory and defeat just now. But now that he had calmed down, after many years of understanding guns and shooting, he discovered many problems.


    First, the first point mentioned by the researchers¡ªshooting frequency.


    In such a shooting competition, firing frequency was very important.


    Once one¡¯s firing frequency was interrupted, it would need to be adjusted again to make one¡¯s own firing rhythm faster.


    The firing frequency of Robot No. 1 was very constant, which was normal. After all, this was a robot. As long as it followed procedures, there would basically be no accidents.


    However, what troubled O¡¯Neil was that even if it followed its procedures, this was a competition, not a simple test. With the presence of soldiers, accidents could happen at any time.


    Although, in reality, the soldier did not attack the double targets.


    Moreover, this was what he had told the soldiers in advance. How could a robot know about these sorts of things?


    Is it really that ¡®smart¡¯?

 Chapter 19

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    After the third round of shooting ended, the robot and soldier were quickly summoned back.


    Everyone ended the competition with great tacit understanding. No one mentioned the outcome of the match anymore.


    The soldier glanced at the robot with a complicated look in his eyes.


    He knew that he had lost the second round.


    Although the general did not say that he had any problems nor did he blame him, he could not lie to himself despite the researchers¡¯ praise.


    Therefore, the soldier stood at one side in silence and did not say anything else.


    On the other side.


    Everyone surrounded Anderson. At this moment, they only had one question in their hearts.


    ¡°Anderson, we only have one question. The situation that happened just now, including the soldier¡¯s actions, was everything in Robot No. 1¡¯s calculations?¡±


    Anderson looked at everyone and pondered for a moment. Then, he took out a control device that looked like a keypad or a phone.


    ¡°It¡¯s actually not that magical. Robot No. 1 cannot predict the state of others. These are all probability calculations based on real-time data on the spot.¡±


    ¡°Based on data?¡± Joseph¡¯s eyes lit up as he quickly took the control device from Anderson¡¯s hand and connected it to a tablet computer.


    At the same time, he said to his assistant beside him, ¡°Start calculating now.¡±.


    After all, what if he was the only one who was mistaken? That was when the assistant¡¯s role was vital.


    After looking at the data, he could see that the overall data of Robot No. 1 showed three stages according to the time period.


    The first stage was when the robot was just in position and there was a large amount of data feedback.


    This situation should have been when Robot No. 1 had just gotten into position and was scanning the terrain, starting to collect a large amount of data. However, the data did not change much.


    The second stage was when the soldiers started shooting. At this time, the fluctuation of the data was even greater and there were lots of data calculations that had already caused a very drastic change.


    ¡°It should be this place. Robot No. 1 has a more obvious reaction.¡±


    ¡°Yeah, why hadn¡¯t the robot reacted to the stimulus earlier?¡±


    ¡°This is the first two rounds. In the first round of targets, the soldier started shooting, and in the second round, because the targets that appeared were all overlapping targets with hostages, the soldiers stopped shooting.¡±


    ¡°So, Robot No. 1 is analyzing the soldier¡¯s state and behavior?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s very possible!¡± Joseph said in realization.


    At this moment, General O¡¯Neil¡¯s face became very interesting after hearing the analysis.


    ¡°This robot has such an ability. Is this your artificial intelligence?¡± General O¡¯Neil couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    ¡°Actually, this robot doesn¡¯t have much to do with us. It was basically created by Anderson!¡± William said.


    ¡°Anderson, you mean that young man?¡± O¡¯Neil turned his head and looked to the side.


    ¡°Anderson, do you have anything to say?¡± Joseph asked with a smile.


    At this moment, Anderson looked at the crowd with a smile and nodded.


    ¡°General, I actually still have a lot of unfinished work regarding Robot No. 1¡¯s design. For example, the current identification system and the learning ability are still a little slow at the initial speed. There¡¯s still quite a gap compared to what I imagined.


    ¡°If Robot No. 1 could enter a state when the soldier fired the first shot, perhaps before the second round, Robot No. 1 would already be able to learn and correct itself at the same time.¡±


    ¡°Now, every time it carries out a new mission, it has to be given a certain amount of space and time to learn. Although the final result is acceptable and almost a passing grade, it¡¯s still not enough¡­¡±


    Hearing Anderson¡¯s analysis and answer, the people present were speechless.


    Such results could only be called a passing grade?


    ¡°Anderson, I have a question. You just said that every time it goes out on a mission, it needs to learn once. If it¡¯s something that has been learned beforehand, can Robot No. 1 enter the state immediately?¡± General O¡¯Neil thought for a while and suddenly asked.


    ¡°Well, in this case, it¡¯s indeed possible to enter the state and start the mission without collecting data on the spot.¡± Anderson nodded.


    ¡°Well, since we have just had a competition, I want to see how far your Robot No. 1 can go if it¡¯s only a single test!¡± General O¡¯Neil stated curiously.


    ¡°Hmm, if that¡¯s the case, it might be worth testing.¡±


    Anderson looked at Joseph and William, wanting to see their thoughts.


    Joseph thought for a moment then agreed with General O¡¯Neil¡¯s suggestion. ¡°Anderson, there¡¯s no rush now anyway. The function of Robot No. 1 can be improved slowly in the future. Now that General O¡¯Neil wants to test it again, we can also collect more data, which can be compared with the data later.¡±


    It was obvious that General O¡¯Neil was interested in the machine.


    General O¡¯Neil was their big customer. If he really placed an order, it would be a huge sum of money.


    Anderson took back the controller in Joseph¡¯s hand again and soon, another round of target shooting occurred.


    This time, there was no competition.


    Robot No. 1 arrived at the position where the soldier was previously.


    This position was the best position in the entire shooting range.


    The soldier was worthy of being General O¡¯Neil¡¯s most elite special forces soldier. He did not spend much time in the previous competition. With just a glance, coupled with his rich combat experience, he found the best shooting location.


    Of course, Robot No. 1 did not come to this place because of the soldier. Instead, the data told it that this location was the most advantageous within this terrain.


    Robot No. 1 quickly lay on the ground like a professional special forces soldier. It was exactly the same position as the soldier had done earlier.


    This action was learned from the soldier¡¯s action. Because it was the most labor-saving and concise, he chose this action.


    And just this action alone instantly made General O¡¯Neil, who was at the side, approve of Robot No. 1.


    ¡°It has the standards of a soldier!¡± General O¡¯Neil praised.


    ¡°Yes.¡± Joseph nodded in agreement.


    ¡°President Joseph, General O¡¯Neil, Robot No. 1 is ready. Shall we start the test now?¡± asked Anderson.


    General O¡¯Neil was about to nod.


    Suddenly, Joseph realized that this was no longer a competition, but a test. He immediately shouted to his assistant beside him, ¡°Hurry up and bring the most accurate test equipment in the lab. Hurry up!¡±


    Yes, just now, he subconsciously thought that this was still a competition.


    Therefore, it was not easy for them to accurately measure the test results. If General O¡¯Neil saw him doing such a thing earlier, he would definitely be dissatisfied and think that they did not value their competition.


    Therefore, he did not take out the test equipment from the laboratory before.


    But now, there was no problem. Whether the data was good or bad, it was just a problem with the robot. It had nothing to do with the general..

 Chapter 20

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    Hearing Joseph¡¯s reminder, the two assistants quickly ran toward the laboratory.


    With these experimental tools, they could clearly understand how much Robot No. 1 had improved and how different it was.


    This was the first time it had started shooting at a target after obtaining data.


    Now, Robot No. 1 could be considered very familiar with the task of shooting at a target.


    Under such circumstances, how much could Robot No. 1 change?


    Even they were looking forward to it now.


    Especially Jack, who had previously replaced Dr. William to help Anderson with data testing.


    He had also spent a lot of effort on creating this robot. The completion of Robot No. 1¡¯s project was due to him.


    Even though it was just simple data observation and collection, the two assistants soon moved the important testing equipment from the laboratory over.


    The two assistants continued debugging. When the green lights appeared on the two machines that were similar to computer hosts, the two of them wiped the sweat on their foreheads and said excitedly, ¡°President Joseph, we have already set the machines to the best condition.¡±


    ¡°Well, in that case, let¡¯s start the test!¡±


    Joseph walked quickly to the machine, took out a tablet and connected it to the square-shaped black test instrument.


    Hearing Joseph¡¯s voice, Anderson immediately pressed the button in his hand.


    At the same time, the entire venue began to change.


    The moment the target appeared on the scene¡ª


    Bang, bang, bang!


    A few gunshots rang out consecutively. The bullets were like a line, and all the robber targets on the scene were quickly knocked down.


    The speed at which each target fell was less than a tenth of a second in between each target.


    No one could see clearly how these bullets knocked these targets down like dominoes except for Joseph.


    The moment Robot No. 1 fired, he had already started the real-time test and recorded all its results.


    Joseph and William stared blankly at the screen on the tablet.


    All the bullets were like arcs, as if there was a mathematical structure in them. Especially the moment the targets were knocked down, there was a sense of beauty in its power.


    ¡°How is it?¡± O¡¯Neil saw their stunned expressions and asked curiously.


    It was not just him. The other researchers, Joseph¡¯s two assistants, and the soldiers around O¡¯Neil all looked excited, as if they had vaguely guessed something.


    ¡°After comparing the results from the previous group, the data of Robot No. 1 has almost doubled, whether it is shooting speed, frequency, or the accuracy,¡± Joseph said with excitement, clenching his fists.


    In an instant, the entire scene was filled with exclamations!


    ¡°This is unbelievable!¡± O¡¯Neil stared at the crawling figure on the hillside, his eyes filled with surprise.


    He did not expect the change to be so great.


    Generally speaking, no matter how fast the shooting movement was, there would always be a threshold.


    After all, this was not a random shot but a precise strike.


    This robot was actually able to achieve such a level. It could be said to be an eye-opener for him.


    This ability could be said to be the limit of the special forces.


    However, compared to this artificial intelligence robot, he was more interested in its, Anderson.


    Such a young man, who looked to be less than 20 years old, was actually able to create such a thing.


    Such a thing could be said to be a huge breakthrough in the scientific and technological world.


    At this moment, Anderson, who was holding the remote control for Robot No. 1, also smiled.


    ¡°This result is not bad. In terms of shooting alone, it¡¯s basically perfect. If the bullets and guns are replaced with more powerful guns and better equipment, perhaps the data will be better.


    ¡°But there¡¯s no need to rush. Artificial intelligence is only the first step. There are still many things to be researched and manufactured¡­¡± Anderson looked at a large number of fallen targets not far away and sighed.


    Joseph, who was at the side, heard Anderson¡¯s sigh and was immediately shocked.


    This was probably the dilemma of a genius!


    This kind of data was still considered average and was only his first step. He had no choice but to be curious about what Anderson wanted to do next.


    ¡°Anderson, other than these battle-related functions, Robot No. 1 also has some other functions that can be tested,¡± William suddenly reminded.


    ¡°Right, let¡¯s test them all now!¡± Joseph smiled and said expectantly.


    ¡°Okay, then we can now test the robot¡¯s intelligence,¡± Anderson suggested.


    ¡°Intelligence?¡±


    O¡¯Neil looked at Anderson with some confusion. In his opinion, the ability of artificial intelligence had been proven so there was no need to test its intelligence.


    ¡°This intelligence test is not a simple math problem. This test is targeted,¡± Anderson said with a smile, then he looked at William and nodded. ¡°Dr. William, you can invite our guest out.¡±


    ¡°Guest?¡± Joseph was also a little surprised. After all, he didn¡¯t really participate in the design of Robot No. 1 and wasn¡¯t clear about the specific content of these tests.


    ¡°Yes, a guest!¡± William smiled and pointed at a middle-aged man not far away.


    ¡°Hi! William, Joseph, long time no see!¡± The man wore a black headscarf on his head and smiled. He walked quickly to the crowd and waved to greet them.


    ¡°Is that Yamashita Seishi?¡± an assistant beside Joseph said in surprise.


    ¡°Yes, it seems to be him.¡± Another assistant nodded.


    ¡°The previous world Go champion, a Japanese-Korean mixed-blood. I remember that the President asked us to invite him before. He said that this is an old friend he made in Japan, but he¡¯s in seclusion from the world to study more about Go,¡± said Jack.


    ¡°Aren¡¯t we giving Robot No. 1 another test? Why did Dr. William invite him over?¡± Another assistant was curious.


    ¡°I¡¯m not sure either. Maybe we will know why later.¡± Jack saw the look of understanding on President Joseph¡¯s face.


    ¡°William, is this the opponent you arranged for me?¡± Yamashita Seishi pointed at Robot No. 1 and asked.


    Hearing Yamashita Seishi¡¯s words, everyone immediately understood what the second test was about.


    ¡°It¡¯s actually a match between Robot No. 1 and world Go champion, Yamashita Seishi?¡±


    ¡°This is Yamashita Seishi. He can be said to be an authority in the Go world and has won many world championships.¡±


    ¡°A match against the Go champion, there¡¯s no comparison at all!¡±


    ¡°After all, this is Go. It originated from China and can be considered the oldest strategic two-player board game. It¡¯s been gradually developed to this day and is widely recognized as the most complicated board game in the world!¡±


    ¡°Indeed, there¡¯s basically no suspense in this competition. Yamashita Seishi will definitely win!¡±

 Chapter 21

    After listening to the crowd¡¯s discussions, General O¡¯Neil roughly understood the current situation.


    Although he did not know much about Go, he was more familiar with chess.


    Moreover, the friends he made were mostly professional chess players.


    Once, when he was chatting with those players, he heard someone mention the name of this Go player.


    To be able to win so many championships in an international game like Go over the years, such a person could be considered as the most outstanding human in terms of intelligence, regardless of his experiences with the game itself.


    Moreover, Go was extremely difficult. If Robot No. 1 really wanted to play against Yamashita Seishi, O¡¯Neil could already see the outcome.


    ¡°Let¡¯s change the venue first,¡± William said.


    ¡­


    Under William¡¯s lead, everyone came to the room.


    ¡°This is a place for everyone to relax and have fun. It can be used as our venue for this competition. The Go venue over there is ready,¡± William introduced.


    ¡°William, when did you arrange this?¡± Joseph said as he glanced at him.


    ¡°When you went to contact General O¡¯Neil, I wasn¡¯t idle either. I talked to Anderson and wanted to test the intelligence level of Robot No. 1. Ordinary calculations couldn¡¯t tell its level, so I had to find a real human with high intelligence to compete. Only then could I get a real result!¡±


    After William finished his explanation, he looked at Yamashita Seishi who was in position not too far away with a hint of anticipation in his eyes.


    Soon, under everyone¡¯s attention, Robot No. 1 sat across from Yamashita Seishi across the chessboard.


    It sat on the chair and imitated Yamashita Seishi¡¯s manner, respectfully waving its hand.


    ¡°Shall we start now?¡± Anderson asked Yamashita Seishi. After all, this was the world Go champion. It was not easy to invite him over, so of course, he had to understand his thoughts.


    ¡°Sure, let¡¯s start now. I¡¯ve been waiting for a long time. Before I came, William told me that you guys have developed a ¡®super artificial intelligence¡¯ that can compete with me. In Go, I haven¡¯t met an opponent of my skill level for a long time,¡± said Yamashita Seishi slowly.


    ¡°Alright, since you¡¯re ready, let¡¯s start now.¡± Anderson pressed the button on the machine in his hand.


    On the surface of the machine, it was sitting still. However, the red lights in its eyes were constantly flashing.


    At the next moment, Yamashita Seishi made a move. He picked up a black piece and placed it in the lower right corner of the chessboard.


    Meanwhile, Robot No. 1 was still not moving but the data in Anderson¡¯s hand was constantly changing.


    Obviously, Robot No. 1 was currently thinking.


    Just yesterday, when the construction of Robot No. 1 was not completed, William had talked to him about this matter. He had put forward this idea at that time.


    It just so happened that William had a good relationship with the world Go champion, Yamashita Seishi.


    In order to compete with Yamashita Seishi, during the production of Robot No. 1, Anderson had already input a lot of Go knowledge into its system.


    At the same time, William also communicated with Yamashita Seishi.


    Finally, Robot No. 1 began its first move. It took a white piece and went to the other side of the chessboard.


    ¡°Huh?¡± When Yamashita Seishi saw this move, a surprised expression appeared in his eyes.


    As for the rest of the people present, they basically had no idea about Go. They could only quietly wait for the result.


    On the chessboard, the white and black pieces kept on crisscrossing.


    Robot No. 1 and Yamashita Seishi moved their arms faster and faster.


    The others were getting more and more confused, but also more and more nervous.


    ¡°How is it?¡±


    ¡°Who has the advantage now?¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t understand.¡±


    ¡°Sigh¡­ I don¡¯t understand Go either.¡±


    ¡°Then who knows the current situation?¡±


    ¡°Maybe we can ask Dr. William!¡±


    ¡°One of Dr. William¡¯s hobbies is playing Go. He might be able to understand it.¡±


    At this moment, William was fully focused on a huge projection screen.


    The content projected on the screen was the match between Robot No. 1 and Yamashita Seishi.


    At this moment, Dr. William also heard the other¡¯s discussions. He suddenly remembered that other than him, no one could not understand the battle of Go at all.


    It seemed that he had to be a commentator this time.


    ¡°Go is a game of competing territories and now, Robot No. 1 is the underdog.¡± William walked over and explained while pointing at the projection.


    ¡°A game of territory occupation? It clearly looks like the two of them are occupying almost the same territory!¡± one of the researchers said.


    The others also nodded in agreement with the researcher¡¯s opinion.


    William continued to explain, ¡°Although the current situation doesn¡¯t seem to have much of a difference, you have to treat the two of them as if they were in a previous war.¡±


    ¡°During the war, all the famous great lords would first carve out a domain around the edge of the map. Then, they would unite all the forces around this domain and build solid defensive castles at the same time. After that, they would continuously expand their forces and cover the center. Only such a territory could develop well. This is an encirclement development.


    ¡°Moreover, the city territory was built in the middle of the map from the very beginning. It¡¯s very easy to be attacked by enemies from all directions and be slowly devoured.¡±


    After listening to William¡¯s explanation, everyone looked at the chessboard again. It was as if they saw a war without any smoke, and they immediately understood the situation of the players from both sides.


    ¡°Then, from the very beginning, Robot No. 1 was in a passive position, wasn¡¯t it?¡± Assistant Jack said.


    ¡°Sigh¡­ In the end, robots are still no match for human brains.¡±


    General O¡¯Neil heard William¡¯s explanation and his eyes lit up with great interest. He muttered to himself, ¡°So this is Go.¡±


    ¡°So, Robot No. 1 is basically going to lose?¡± Jack asked.


    ¡°No, there are too many changes in Go. It¡¯s hard to see the results until the end. But from the looks of it, Robot No. 1 is in a defensive state,¡± William continued to explain.


    ¡°The world Go champion has gained the advantage. This game is basically over!¡± Some researchers were obviously not optimistic about Robot No. 1.


    In their opinion, unless Robot No. 1 gained the advantage in the beginning, it would not be able to put up a fight against Yamashita Seishi.


    Even General O¡¯Neil was not optimistic.


    If this chessboard battle was really a war, how could a machine compare to a human¡¯s brain, let alone the current situation where the world champion still had the advantage.


    At this time, if there was only one person who still had hope for Robot No. 1, it would be William.


    Compared to the advantageous situation, William preferred the disadvantageous situation. Only the kind of reversal in the disadvantageous situation could give him a pleasant feeling comparable to solving an experimental problem.


    ¡°If I¡¯m not wrong, the best step for Robot No. 1 right now is to ¡®fly¡¯,¡± William explained with clenched fists..

 Chapter 22

    After hearing William¡¯s explanation, everyone still did not understand.


    With the current situation, could Robot No. 1 still win?


    No matter what method it used, that did not seem like the case.


    Everyone looked at William in confusion and asked, ¡°What is flying?¡±


    ¡°To be precise, it¡¯s taking flight. That¡¯s when one places the pieces diagonally on the original chess piece, forming a sun shape.¡±


    William did not say anything as he explained. He focused even more on the projection.


    It was obvious that the situation had entered a very important stage. When the others saw this, they did not dare to ask further. They could only wait quietly at the side.


    At this moment, it was Robot No. 1¡¯s turn to place his pieces.


    Everyone clenched their fists tightly. Although they knew that Robot No. 1 would not be able to win this match, they already had a glimmer of hope in their hearts.


    Beside the board, Robot No. 1 looked at the field, a red light flashing in its eyes.


    Finally, it picked up a white chess piece and gently placed it on the chessboard.


    Clack.


    The white chess piece landed on the chessboard, making a crisp sound.


    ¡°This is¡­ Why is it placed here?¡±


    William¡¯s eyes flashed with a hint of surprise.


    ¡°What happened?¡±


    ¡°Could it be that Robot No. 1 made a mistake?¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s impossible. This is an AI, there¡¯s no way it made a wrong move,¡± said Jack.


    ¡°Hmm, William, what do you think?¡± Joseph, who had been watching quietly, suddenly asked.


    Hearing Joseph¡¯s question, the other researchers also looked at William.


    General O¡¯Neil also looked at William curiously. He knew that something must have gone wrong in the Go game.


    ¡°This move is called ¡®break¡¯ in Go. According to this move, Robot No. 1 seems to want to go head-to-head with Yamashita Seishi!¡± William explained.


    Seeing Robot No. 1¡¯s move, even Shishi Yamashita was stunned. He couldn¡¯t help but frown.


    At this time, the researchers at the side also noticed that something was wrong. The world Go champion, Shishi Yamashita, who had always been expressionless, was now frowning.


    ¡°William, is there anything strange about this move?¡± General O¡¯Neil could not help but ask.


    William slowly explained, ¡°¡®Break¡¯ can also be called ¡®cut¡¯. It is the method of directly cutting off the connection of the opponent¡¯s pieces and dispersing them.


    ¡°The reason why I¡¯m surprised is because this is very different from the way Robot No. 1 played before. In other words, it is as if a different person is now trying to break the old pattern and throw away some things to establish a new pattern.¡± William sighed.


    ¡°Is there a problem with this?¡± O¡¯Neil asked.


    ¡°Problem? Actually, there¡¯s no problem with this.¡± William shook his head and continued, ¡°The current situation can be described with a metaphor. It¡¯s equivalent to sacrificing one¡¯s arm to open up a new situation. Now, Robot No. 1 is ready to fight to the death.¡±


    After hearing William¡¯s explanation, O¡¯Neil roughly understood the current situation.


    If Robot No. 1 from before had pursued stability, slowly developing and facing off against each other, the current Robot No. 1 had already given up on the previous idea and went straight to the most extreme method, directly starting a war, slaughtering its foes and seizing territory.


    Yamashita Seishi understood that the opponent had changed and started a different battle mode, which made him have no choice but to become serious.


    Ever since he became the world Go champion, he had never lost a match.


    And now, if he lost to a robot, it would be embarrassing.


    He quickly gathered his thoughts and concentrated on dealing with this game.


    Yamashita Seishi quickly made a new move, trying to block Robot No. 1¡¯s attack.


    The two people¡¯s right hands once again intersected. Black and white chess pieces continuously fell on the chessboard, like the sound of raindrops falling.


    At this moment, the audience¡¯s eyes were also fixed on the projected chessboard.


    A few minutes later.


    The ¡®killing¡¯ on the chessboard finally came to an end.


    Whether it was Robot No. 1 or Yamashita Seishi, both of them slowed down the pace of their movements.


    ¡°Why do I feel that the situation is getting worse and worse?¡±


    ¡°The right hand that Robot No. 1 raised has already stopped for a long time.¡±


    ¡°Indeed, it has reached a critical and urgent position. At this position, if there is any mistake, this match can be declared over,¡± William explained solemnly as various results appeared in his mind.


    ¡°Where will you be?¡± Yamashita Seishi narrowed his eyes and looked at Robot No. 1 opposite him.


    At this moment, Anderson looked at the test instrument in his hand and felt that the data was almost stable. This meant that the result of this competition was about to be announced.


    The red light that was constantly flashing in Robot No. 1¡¯s eyes calmed down. At the same time, the chess piece in his hand was slowly put down.


    Clack.


    This chess piece was placed in its position.


    Yamashita Seishi¡¯s pupils immediately shrank. He looked at Robot No. 1 with some surprise.


    ¡°This step¡­¡±


    William suddenly clenched his fists. He finally understood.


    Robot No. 1 had chosen to place a stone from the center at the very beginning. Moreover, it had always chosen to avoid the battle. It was all for the sake of turning the tables and to pave the way for this step.


    This was also because the opponent was Yamashita Seishi. If it were any other person, this step would have already appeared.


    ¡°Dr. William, what exactly is happening in the game now?¡± his assistant asked curiously.


    William took a deep look at Jack and explained, ¡°Robot No. 1 should have seen Yamashita Seishi¡¯s first move and already had a rough idea of the game¡¯s route. Whether it was the defense or the crucial frenzied killing, it was all for one move. It was like a foreshadowing that had been hidden on the field all this time.


    ¡°The opponent is Yamashita Seishi. Therefore, if you want to reveal this move, you have to go through hundreds and thousands of steps of deduction! That is to say, when the first move was made, Robot No. 1 had already deduced thousands of steps. Of course, only Robot No. 1 can do this!¡± William exclaimed in disbelief.


    Hearing William¡¯s explanation, everyone present had looks of disbelief on their faces.


    Meanwhile, Yamashita Seishi looked helplessly at Robot No. 1 and said slowly, ¡°I¡¯ve lost!¡±


    He really did not expect that he would actually lose to a robot like this.


    It was precisely because the opponent was not a human but a machine, coupled with the fact that Robot No. 1 had played conservatively for the first ten minutes.


    Therefore, he underestimated his opponent.


    After that, his advantage grew larger and larger, making him treat this game as a casual game.


    However, a loss was a loss.


    As the world Go champion, it was not that he could not afford to lose. Perhaps for him, losing was also a good thing.


    The reason why he could become the undefeated champion was because of his outstanding talent.


    It was because he had absorbed the experience of many seniors, and failure after failure allowed him to continue to grow.


    Perhaps, through Robot No. 1, he would be able to achieve greater breakthroughs and progress in Go!


    Thinking of this, the depression in Yamashita Seishi¡¯s eyes was gradually replaced by excitement..

 Chapter 23

    After hearing Yamashita Seishi announce his surrender, everyone present had incredulous expressions on their faces.


    This was the world Go champion and he had actually lost to a robot?


    This was simply unbelievable.


    ¡°Yamashita Seishi actually lost¡­¡±


    ¡°I really didn¡¯t expect it.¡±


    ¡°The artificial intelligence designed by Anderson actually has such a level?¡±


    ¡°This is no longer a simple artificial intelligence. We¡¯ve had our doubts before this but now we must put them aside and think of this project in a new light.¡±


    ¡°Yes, we should believe in Anderson and Robot No. 1.¡±


    At this point, the researchers¡¯ faces revealed a guilty expression.


    ¡°This artificial intelligence is already so powerful?¡± General O¡¯Neil was stunned and muttered to himself.


    Although O¡¯Neil didn¡¯t know much about Go nor did he care, it wasn¡¯t easy to reach the level of world champion.


    And to be able to defeat the world champion of Go only meant one thing: Robot No. 1 had the strength of a world-class Go player.


    How did this happen?


    He had never heard of such technology in the scientific community before, so how could it be developed so suddenly?


    O¡¯Neil¡¯s heart was filled with doubt.


    At this moment, Joseph saw the confusion in O¡¯Neil¡¯s eyes. He smiled and said, ¡°General O¡¯Neil, you must have a lot of doubts in your heart right now. General, do you really want to know why such a simple machine can do such a magical thing?¡±


    Hearing Joseph¡¯s words, O¡¯Neil immediately nodded and replied, ¡°I really want to know why.¡±


    Joseph waved his hand to signal for Anderson to come over.


    At this moment, the match on the field had already finished. Anderson was controlling the AI for a while, and at the same time, he walked over with Yamashita Seishi.


    ¡°Anderson, although we won this match, there are still many things that everyone doesn¡¯t understand. I hope that you can explain it to solve everyone¡¯s doubts,¡± Joseph said with a smile.


    Anderson held the Robot No. 1 controller in his hand and connected it to the projection screen.


    He explained, ¡°The AI I designed is more like a data robot loaded with a supercomputer than a traditional AI. With the support of a large amount of data, he only needs to constantly adjust the plan according to real-time feedback.


    ¡°As for its data feedback speed, as long as there is information stored in the database, it can be retrieved. Therefore, this match might seem like a match between an ordinary robot and Yamashita Seishi but in reality, Yamashita Seishi is competing against all the Go masters in the world.


    ¡°All the game moves that Yamashita Seishi knows, Robot No. 1 knows. He is also aware of those that he doesn¡¯t know either. With the addition of big data, unless Shishi Yamashita can do the same thing, it¡¯s basically impossible for him to win.


    ¡°Therefore, this chess game is unfair to Yamashita Seishi. Robot No. 1 only needs to arrange and combine all the Go moves that he knows.¡±


    After listening to Anderson¡¯s explanation, both O¡¯Neil and the other researchers understood the reason for all of this.


    Simply put, as long as Robot No. 1¡¯s loading speed was fast enough, it was basically impossible for humans to surpass Robot No. 1¡¯s calculation speed and steps.


    When you made the first reaction, it had already calculated dozens of steps later.


    Furthermore, the number and speed would continue to increase.


    ¡°Anderson, is this the artificial intelligence that you want to build? It¡¯s too scary!¡± The young assistant was the most receptive to new things. Coupled with the performance of artificial intelligence before this, he quickly realized what would happen once this artificial intelligence was released. It would be a huge improvement from the previous version.


    With this kind of technology, whether it was for people¡¯s lives or the military, it would change the course of history.


    After all, with such a mechanical soldier or a staff officer, a large number of casualties could be avoided on the battlefield.


    It was unimaginable to rely on the will of the military against such an emotionless machine.


    O¡¯Neil thought of this and looked at Anderson, asking urgently, ¡°Anderson, can such a machine be mass-produced?¡±


    ¡°If it¡¯s the current one, it might not be able to be replicated. This one costs us quite a bit of energy. Actually, for such artificial intelligence, the most important thing is the chip. If it¡¯s mass-produced, it might still be 20% inferior to this one, but it¡¯ll still satisfy all its required functions,¡± Anderson explained.


    ¡°Very good. With 80% of this machine, I¡¯m already very satisfied.¡±


    General O¡¯Neil seemed to have seen his mechanical team bowing to him in his mind and he could not help but smile.


    Anderson naturally saw through General O¡¯Neil¡¯s thought and quickly reminded, ¡°General, I have something very important to tell you. If the machine is too powerful, it will also bring a problem. That is, the soldiers will rely too much on the machine and their individual will and ability will slowly be weakened.


    ¡°While machines can be replaced, people¡¯s willpower cannot. Therefore, although Robot No. 1 looks good, once the military starts to popularize such a weapon and neglects training their human personnel, they¡¯ll only be able to face death if they ever lose the machines on their side.¡±


    Hearing Anderson¡¯s reminder, O¡¯Neil suddenly woke up.


    ¡°Anderson is right. This kind of machine can not be casually used in the military. Moreover, it cannot be widely used. It is best to use it as a trump card.¡± Joseph also understood the importance of artificial intelligence at this time and its huge limitations.


    O¡¯Neil took a deep breath and nodded to Joseph. ¡°I understand. I will use this kind of artificial intelligence robot carefully.¡±


    O¡¯Neil turned to look in the direction of Anderson and smiled. ¡°Young man, you¡¯re not bad. Do you want to develop our military?¡±


    Before Anderson could say anything, Joseph interrupted, ¡°That won¡¯t do. Anderson is now a member of Hyman Technology. Moreover, this is the first technology he has produced and it has already reached such a high level. His future is limitless!¡±


    William nodded and said, ¡°Joseph is right. Letting such a technological genius go to the military is a waste of his technological talent!¡±


    ¡°Hey, you don¡¯t have to be so excited. I was just joking.¡± O¡¯Neil saw the anxious faces of the two people and he put out his hands to comfort them..

 Chapter 24

    ¡°This kind of artificial intelligence will definitely be of great help in people¡¯s lives,¡± Yamashita Seishi said.


    ¡°Yes, indeed. Artificial intelligence can become a considerate butler and solve all the chores in the house. At the same time, it can also become a very professional bodyguard¡­¡±


    Anderson looked at Yamashita and expressed his agreement. To achieve such a function, it could be solved by loading a different chip.


    Hearing Anderson give those two examples, it also aroused the imagination of others.


    ¡°Maybe it can be a professional driver and assistant!¡±


    ¡°An accountant who can quickly calculate accounts and a financial assistant who can analyze data!¡±


    ¡­


    Everyone began to discuss among themselves and their eyes shone with a strange light. It was as if they could already see the artificial intelligence robots with different jobs performing their tasks in the streets and alleys.


    Suddenly, Yamashita Seishi thought of something that made him feel despair and fear.


    If that time came, would all the world Go champions be taken over by a bunch of robots that could calculate through algorithms?


    If such a thing happened, would it mean that all types of games would be plunged into darkness?


    ¡°Anderson, if such an AI really appeared, would a Go player like me also be eliminated? Just like the game just now, after I made the first move, perhaps in the eyes of the machine, the outcome had already been basically decided. It was just a matter of time.


    ¡°No matter how I change, artificial intelligence will always be ahead of me. I will always be behind.¡±


    When Yamashita Seishi said this, there was a hint of frustration on his face.


    But he had no choice.


    This world was a world dominated by technology.


    Since this artificial intelligence technology had already been developed, this meant that it was only a matter of time before it became popular globally.


    He could not stop it.


    When the others saw Yamashita Seishi¡¯s expression, they thought about it carefully and suddenly discovered a huge problem.


    It was not just Go. If this artificial intelligence really appeared, a large number of people in the world would lose their jobs.


    Even Go, a game that required an extremely high IQ to reach its peak, could be crushed by artificial intelligence.


    What about other professions that did not require high technology and intelligence?


    One could foresee that once they reached that stage, there would be robots everywhere.


    The intelligent mechanical era.


    Was such a future really what they wanted?


    Everyone immediately looked worried.


    ¡°Anderson, I have a very important matter now. I want to know your opinion.¡±


    William¡¯s face suddenly became very serious. He stared at Anderson, hoping to get a good answer.


    ¡°What is it?¡±


    Anderson looked at William in confusion.


    The others were also stunned by William¡¯s sudden change in attitude.


    What was going on? Even Joseph, who knew William very well, was puzzled.


    William took a deep look at Anderson and said, ¡°Anderson, I remember that you mentioned before that this artificial intelligence could even solve human emotional problems.¡±


    ¡°And this time, when you made it, you added some knowledge about human society and human psychology, right?¡±


    ¡°Yes, I had this idea and I did add such a program function to Robot No. 1,¡± Anderson replied with a normal expression.


    ¡°What I want to know now is, if artificial intelligence is really born, will there be any issues regarding human safety?¡± William finally voiced his thoughts.


    Hearing William¡¯s words, the other researchers present immediately realized the seriousness of the problem.


    If artificial intelligence had an intelligence that surpassed human intelligence and was allowed to gain the ability to understand human emotions, then it was very likely that it would have self-awareness.


    The more dangerous thing with something like that was that it would most likely rebel against humans and create danger for human society.


    Once such a thing happened, it meant that the machine had the same or similar creativity as humans, self-protection awareness, emotions, and spontaneous behavior.


    ¡°Yes, there is indeed a chance that such a thing will happen.¡± Anderson touched his chin and nodded slightly.


    ¡°Anderson, I¡¯m serious. If such a situation really happens, the research on artificial intelligence must stop here. It absolutely cannot continue,¡± William said seriously with a frown.


    Joseph saw that Anderson¡¯s relaxed look did not seem to be worried about this matter at all. He asked with a smile, ¡°Anderson, do you have any other ideas?¡±


    ¡°In theory, the things that Dr. William is thinking about is indeed very likely to happen,¡± Anderson explained. He then paused and continued confidently, ¡°But in fact, there¡¯s no need to worry about this matter because I won¡¯t let such a situation happen.¡±


    ¡°Can such a thing be guaranteed?¡± William asked.


    ¡°Of course, in terms of understanding of artificial intelligence, no one in this world will surpass me! As long as I don¡¯t allow it, those intelligent machines will not be able to have the creation and continuation of their own consciousness! So you don¡¯t have to worry about such a problem. When I designed it, I had already considered this point.¡±


    After listening to Anderson¡¯s explanation, everyone slowly heaved a sigh of relief.


    Suddenly, Joseph¡¯s assistant, Jack, voiced his doubts, ¡°Anderson, if that¡¯s the case, then we don¡¯t need to associate artificial intelligence with human emotions at all!¡±


    The other researchers also thought of this but did not want to voice it out.


    Anderson definitely thought of such a question, but he still chose to do it. There must be a reason for this.


    Under everyone¡¯s doubtful gazes, Anderson finally voiced his thoughts.


    ¡°Because this is a very important function. The biggest reason I created artificial intelligence was to develop a universe that can connect to human consciousness. I call it the meta-universe!¡±


    When Anderson voiced his thoughts on the ¡®meta-universe¡¯, everyone present could not help but think of a mysterious great world under the starry sky¡­


    ¡°Your thoughts¡­have already exceeded our imaginations¡­¡± Joseph sighed.


    ¡°Sigh, it will be the young people¡¯s world from now on. We are already old.¡± William also sighed.


    Meanwhile, Yamashita Seishi slowly sighed.


    At the same time, the soldiers beside O¡¯Neil were no longer depressed.


    They had already understood what kind of existence was competing with them just now.


    Maybe this was the tip of the iceberg in the future puzzle of the meta-universe..

 Chapter 25

    ¡°Of course, the ¡®meta-universe¡¯ is still a long way from the current world. We should focus on the present.¡±


    After saying that, Anderson pressed the button on Robot No. 1¡¯s controller in his hand, turning it back into standby mode.


    Looking at Robot No. 1 that had fallen into silence, they felt that Anderson was telling them his grand blueprint in a light tone.


    At this moment, only shock remained in their hearts!


    ¡°Mr. Yamashita, you don¡¯t have to worry. Such an interesting game of Go is a game between humans. I wouldn¡¯t do such a boring thing.¡±


    Anderson comforted him, which made Yamashita feel much more relaxed.


    Joseph looked at his watch and suggested, ¡°It¡¯s getting late and it¡¯s time for lunch. Let¡¯s stop the discussion about AI for now.¡±


    ¡°Yeah, I¡¯m a little hungry too. Let¡¯s go,¡± O¡¯Neil said to Anderson with a smile.


    Anderson nodded and walked to the restaurant with Joseph, William, and O¡¯Neil.


    The other researchers looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other¡¯s eyes. The atmosphere gradually became lively.


    ¡°I feel like I¡¯m in a dream now.¡±


    ¡°Anderson actually has such an idea!¡±


    ¡°Actually, I heard Anderson mention it before at the Science & Technology Summit but what he said was too strange that I thought he was joking,¡± Jack scratched his head and said embarrassedly.


    After all, Anderson didn¡¯t take out any exhibits at the Science & Technology Summit. Who would have thought that he could really create such a terrifying artificial intelligence?


    ¡°The Science & Technology Summit?¡±


    Everyone was curious. After all, they had stayed in their own labs and didn¡¯t attend the Science & Technology Summit. They didn¡¯t know what conclusion Anderson had come up with, so they immediately began to ask about what happened to Anderson.


    ¡°Yes, at the Science & Technology Summit, Anderson proposed the concept of artificial intelligence and even prepared a folder for his future plans.¡±


    ¡°Anderson¡¯s next plan?¡±


    ¡°Yes, I remember that at that time on the screen, ¡®Artificial Intelligence¡¯, ¡®alloy-elemental titanium¡¯, and some other ¡®unnamed¡¯ documents belonged to a subdirectory folder labeled ¡®iron suit¡¯,¡± Jack recalled carefully.


    ¡°Alloy-elemental titanium?¡± Someone asked doubtfully.


    ¡°I¡¯ve never heard of such an alloy.¡±


    ¡°Is this an unknown alloy element?¡±


    ¡°Could it be that this ¡®iron suit¡¯ is Anderson¡¯s ultimate goal, and this alloy element is the material he will use to build this armor?¡±


    After hearing some speculations from others, the researcher with sparse hair voiced his opinion.


    ¡°I have a feeling that it won¡¯t be long before Anderson will display these things.¡±


    ¡°Now that you mention it, I have the same feeling.¡±


    As everyone chatted, one of the researchers suddenly thought of something and said, ¡°Everyone, I still have something to do. I haven¡¯t finished the work on hand, so I¡¯ll be leaving first.¡±


    Then, because of this researcher¡¯s actions, the other researchers also remembered that before they came here to help, they had either given their research experiments to be settled by their assistants or even suspended indefinitely.


    Now that the matter had come to an end, they also returned to the laboratory in twos and threes. Some of the older researchers chose to enjoy lunch first and take a break.


    On the other side¡­


    After enjoying a sumptuous lunch, Anderson was led by Assistant Jack to a room in Hyman Tech.


    Anderson took a look at the room. It was very spacious and was decorated in a Nordic style. It looked very tidy.


    ¡°Thank you for leading the way,¡± Anderson said to Jack with a smile.


    ¡°Have a good rest.¡±


    Jack also nodded with a smile and closed the door.


    ¡°Ah, I¡¯m so tired¡­¡±


    Anderson sat down by the bed and lay down comfortably. He muttered to himself, ¡°The plan is perfect¡­ And General O¡¯Neil still wants to order Robot No. 1. In that case, my debt problem can be solved. However, this is only the first step¡­¡±


    In Anderson¡¯s previous plan, he would first use artificial intelligence to give these scientists an unimaginable abstract concept and use it to attract the attention of the higher-ups in the Science & Technology Association.


    Then, he would slowly implement his own plan through the other party¡¯s company, designing a simple home-based intelligent robot and using it to accumulate his own funds.


    After that, he would return to his own company and begin the path of transformation. He would turn his company into a high-tech company and slowly develop and accumulate resources to design a true, fully functional artificial intelligence.


    The result was very surprising. It had attracted the attention of the association¡¯s President and he was able to provide all the resources. He was even able to design a preliminary artificial intelligence now.


    To be able to complete the first step so quickly, it had to be said that a large part of the reason was due to the help of Hyman Technology.


    To be precise, it was with the help of Joseph, the association¡¯s President.


    Moreover, during the demonstration, even people from the military had appeared, giving him an additional bargaining chip.


    Perhaps, he would soon receive greetings from a national level.


    ¡°Everything is going according to plan. Perhaps I can try the second step¡­¡±


    He looked at the white ceiling and felt a little tired. After that, he gradually fell asleep.


    Before he fell asleep, he could not help but shout out a vague phrase.


    ¡°It worked¡­¡±


    ¡­


    In a conference room.


    Joseph and William were sitting in their seats, thinking about something.


    At this moment, Joseph and William had returned to their calm and collected state.


    Suddenly, Joseph looked at William and said, ¡°William, do you have any new views on Anderson now?¡±


    Hearing Joseph¡¯s question, William¡¯s eyes were a little helpless. They had already discussed this question before.


    ¡°It¡¯s still the same. This kid doesn¡¯t seem like a person who should exist in this world. He has to be described as a scientific monster.¡±


    Joseph agreed with William¡¯s words. He picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, and asked, ¡°Do you think there are really aliens in this world?¡±


    Hearing Joseph¡¯s guess, William looked at him seriously. ¡°To be honest, I also want to know the answer. But, other than Anderson himself, no one else may know how he did all this.¡±


    ¡°However, the truth is that this kind of artificial intelligence does exist, and it appeared under our witness.¡±


    ¡°Although the materials used by Anderson were all provided by us, I found a key problem when I looked at them again. Even if we had such a thing, we wouldn¡¯t be able to achieve the same level as him.


    ¡°As more and more functions are needed for the artificial intelligence, there will often be some accidents during the experiment. If we can¡¯t solve all these problems in the first place, then there will be all kinds of accidents in the later experiments..¡±

 Chapter 26

    ¡°Therefore, Anderson is very important to us! After witnessing such technology, I¡¯m afraid you won¡¯t be satisfied, Joseph.¡±


    William glanced at Joseph and took a sip of his tea as he continued, ¡°This kind of artificial intelligence is only Anderson¡¯s preliminary design. I¡¯m becoming increasingly interested in his future ideas. Now that his artificial intelligence has reached such a level, his main project, the iron suit in his drafts, is definitely not a simple thing!


    ¡°Based on that, I¡¯m under the assumption that Anderson¡¯s future plans and the emerging technologies he has in mind are still in their early stages. Any one of these technologies will definitely cause a shock in the scientific and technological world. Just like what Anderson said, he is going to change the entire world!¡±


    William¡¯s eyes were shining with the wisdom of a scientist. He looked into Joseph¡¯s eyes and said, ¡°People like Anderson will only appear every few centuries. Perhaps the purpose of such people coming to this world is to change the world.¡±


    Joseph glanced at William and shook his head slightly, saying, ¡°Originally, I thought so too. But now, I¡¯m actually a little shaken. This kid has brought us too many surprises. This kid clearly has many ideas in mind but he could have done them himself based on his skills. Now, he actually cooperated with us and even designed Robot No. 1 in order to display his prowess without holding back.


    ¡°If you¡¯re telling me that his main objective is to change the world, I¡¯m afraid that I can¡¯t put my trust in that belief 100%. The state he displayed at the Science & Technology Summit could be said to be his most authentic performance. At that time, whether it was in his actions or his expression, he was very cautious. However, he said that he wanted to change the world. This was obviously a line he had decided to use after careful deliberation. It¡¯s obvious that this kid has a reason for all his actions.¡±


    Hearing Joseph¡¯s analysis, William suddenly laughed out loud. ¡°So this is what you were worried about. Joseph, you¡¯re always like this. Perhaps you can try to step down from your position as President of the Science & Technology Summit.


    ¡°In short, don¡¯t bother about what Anderson is thinking. Just look at what he¡¯s doing. As for Anderson¡¯s idea of changing the world, I believe him. After all, when you have the ability to change the world, I don¡¯t believe you can resist such temptations!¡±


    At this point, William¡¯s face gradually became solemn. ¡°Joseph, you have to keep Anderson at Hyman Technology. That¡¯s the only way to obtain the ¡®key¡¯ to opening the door to the New World. We have to be the first batch of pioneers!¡±


    Joseph also nodded seriously.


    Suddenly, a cell phone rang in the room.


    Joseph looked down and his face became solemn.


    One had to know that his cell phone was usually set as ¡®busy¡¯. Most people basically could not get through to his cell phone.


    That meant that the only people who could get through to his cell phone past busy mode were people on his white list, the big clients.


    Joseph picked up the phone and answered the call.


    William looked at Joseph and did not try to leave the room to give him privacy. The two of them were already very familiar with each other so there was truly nothing to hide.


    A heavy voice came from the other side of the phone.


    ¡°Joseph, I saw the email you sent. I¡¯m sorry, I didn¡¯t come to the test site. However, you¡¯ve completed the test already, right?¡±


    ¡°Yes, Mike. However, we already have the test video made. Do you want to see it?¡±


    ¡°Great, I¡¯m very interested. You know, I¡¯ve always been very interested in technology, especially new discoveries. However, I¡¯ve been far too busy recently¡­¡± Mike complained about the other end of the phone.


    ¡°Mike, I understand. After all, you¡¯ve become the Chief Cabinet Secretary. You really don¡¯t have the time to catch up with all the latest technological discoveries now,¡± Joseph comforted him. ¡°I also sent the video to you. Remember to check your email.¡±


    ¡°Okay, I got it¡­¡±


    The two of them chatted for a while more before the call was finally ended.


    At this moment in Japan, in a room decorated with imposing decorations and an equally stifling atmosphere¡­


    Mike was sitting on a soft sofa chair. His eyes were filled with disbelief as he looked at the video in front of him.


    ¡°Is this the artificial intelligence that Joseph was talking about?¡± Mike muttered to himself.


    Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he pressed a button on the table.


    Soon, his secretary walked in.


    ¡°Quickly go and gather all the major professors from the Empire¡¯s Twilight Academy, Berkeley University, the Empire¡¯s Army University, the Empire¡¯s Navy University, and the Empire¡¯s Air Force University. Gather all the instructors who have the title of senior professor and senior doctor.¡±


    Hearing Mike who was speaking much faster than he usually did, the secretary didn¡¯t dare to ask any more questions and quickly walked out of the door.


    Two hours later in a large conference room.


    Mike walked into the conference room and glanced around. He could see from the collar of everyone¡¯s clothes that most of the professors and doctors from the universities had arrived.


    The only one who hadn¡¯t arrived yet was the doctorate professor from the Empire¡¯s Twilight Academy.


    However, since most of the people were here, perhaps they could have a look first.


    Mike pressed the button in his hand. The projection slowly unfolded as a video began to play.


    The professors sat in a circle and noticed the video that appeared on the screen. They paused and stopped chatting.


    A few minutes later, the video finally ended.


    Mike turned off the video, turned around, and looked at everyone present.


    ¡°You¡¯ve already seen the information in your hands. It covers the creator of this artificial intelligence technology that you¡¯ve just watched, a man called Anderson. Now that the video has finished playing, I want to hear your opinions.¡±


    After Mike finished speaking, he sat quietly in his seat, waiting for everyone to speak.


    The professors and doctors present looked at each other and slowly exhaled. The expression on their faces was still filled with surprise.


    The meeting room was silent for a minute. No one spoke for a while.


    After all, what they saw was really beyond their understanding.


    Another minute passed.


    A professor slowly stood up and said with some suspicion, ¡°Could this be a cover for Hyman Technology? I suspect that this is all an illusion!¡±


    With the first person speaking, everyone quickly started discussing.


    ¡°I think so too. This kind of thing is simply not something that current technology can do.¡±


    ¡°Moreover, the most unacceptable thing is that Hyman Technology actually wrote in the statement that the inventor is Anderson. So you¡¯re telling me that this guy who looks like a playboy designed and manufactured this kind of technology?¡±


    ¡°This is not what artificial intelligence is at all!¡±

 Chapter 27

    In the conference room.


    All the professors looked at the information in their hands, expressing how they could not accept it for what it was.


    This was their unanimous thought.


    Soon, another professor crossed his arms over his chest, shook his head, and said, ¡°It¡¯s impossible to create such technology casually. The design process requires at least a month of trial and error for an elite team before any good results are visible.


    ¡°But if we really want to do such a design, we won¡¯t be able to reference any sort of help online or through technological forums. Instead, it¡¯ll be a lot of trial and error on our end till the end of it.¡±


    Hearing the professor¡¯s explanation, everyone present nodded in agreement. One after another, they expressed their approval and began to agree.


    ¡°It¡¯s true. This is completely against scientific common sense. I won¡¯t believe it.¡±


    ¡°The most unacceptable thing is how the creator is apparently this Anderson guy. I¡¯ve just looked into it and apparently he¡¯s the heir of an arms dealer.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s really too strange. Why would Hyman Technology advertise someone with an arms dealer background?¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s no need for us to discuss such things here. I want to leave now and go back to carry out my experiments.¡±


    Just as everyone was furiously amongst each other, Mike suddenly slapped the table.


    ¡°Quiet!¡±


    Hearing Mike¡¯s shout, everyone shut their mouths and looked quietly at him.


    ¡°I have to make this clear. Joseph clearly mentioned to me that everything you¡¯ve seen and read is all real. Although President Joseph and I have a good relationship, he¡¯s not the sort of person to joke about these types of technological advancements.


    ¡°Also, there is an email that I exchanged with Dr. William. He replied that he was also involved in the research of this technology at that time.¡±


    As he spoke, Mike opened an email and showed it to everyone present.


    Looking at the information projected, everyone immediately fell silent.


    Dr. William was a top scientist who was considered an equal to Professor Ryan. Since he dared to say so¡­


    It meant that everything in the video should be true.


    After all, this was Dr. William. His serious attitude toward science was well known in the scientific community.


    Seeing that everyone had quieted down, Mike sighed in his heart.


    When he saw the video Joseph sent him, he was very excited.


    But after he thought carefully, with his understanding of the world¡¯s technology, he immediately realized that such a thing seemed impossible with their world¡¯s current technological progression.


    Then, he called William.


    Dr. William was the chief researcher of all projects in Hyman Technology. If such a thing really existed, then was the person who most probably was in charge and knew what was going on.


    However, the result he got was very surprising.


    Dr. William was involved in the project. Moreover, the email said that he could only help a little. The main person in charge was a young man named Anderson.


    When he saw this, Mike was puzzled.


    A young man who could make Dr. William his assistant.


    Thinking of this, Mike coughed lightly and continued, ¡°So, there is no doubt about the authenticity of these videos. Of course, I know that there will still be a lot of doubts in everyone¡¯s heart.


    ¡°After this, you can make the appropriate calls to your connections and try to understand the situation better. After all, if this kind of technology is really like the video suggests, we must strive for it vigorously.


    ¡°But now, for us, the most important thing is to analyze the technology involved through the video.¡±


    Hearing Mike¡¯s explanation, the professors in the room also nodded to show that they understood.


    Mike played the video of the projection again.


    The professors started to get serious. After a period of observation, some voices gradually began to discuss their observations.


    ¡°My God, if this is true, this technology is amazing!¡±


    ¡°This technology is enough to change the world!¡±


    ¡°Even now, I still find it hard to accept that Hyman Technology could create such technology without making a sound. It¡¯s simply impossible, right?¡±


    ¡°No matter how he did it, such technology is very important to any country. As long as we can obtain it, we will be able to walk at the forefront of the world.¡±


    ¡°Indeed, if we have such an artificial intelligence, our country will become technological leaders, and our insufficient labor force problem will be solved!¡±


    ¡°The combat strength of this machine can even be comparable to that of the special forces. If we have such a thing, we can completely popularize it in the police station, Navy, and even the Air Force.¡±


    ¡°Moreover, this artificial intelligence was able to defeat the world Go champion. Does this mean that artificial intelligence is capable of performing tasks that require precise manipulation?¡±


    ¡°In the first video, the one named Anderson said that he wanted to connect artificial intelligence to the consciousness of human beings.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s just an unrealistic dream. I feel that there might only be one artificial intelligence robot in the video. It is impossible to mass-produce such a machine.¡±


    ¡°However, even if it can¡¯t be as exaggerated as the video shows, it has a very important strategic significance for our Empire!¡±


    Everyone spoke one after another, and the atmosphere became more and more lively.


    Suddenly, Mike, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly stood up and said, ¡°I think that all of you are right. However, the most important point is that we should consider getting that young man to accept us. After all, if we want to use his technology, we must get his recognition.¡±


    Hearing Mike¡¯s words, the other professors also understood. No matter how they discussed it, everything could not be separated from the inventor of this technology, Anderson.


    ¡°So our first goal is to find Anderson and talk to him?¡± a young man raised his hand and asked.


    ¡°Yes, this is indeed a very important matter. Before that, we still need to wait for someone,¡± Mike said.


    ¡°Wait for someone?¡±


    Everyone looked at Mike in confusion. Hadn¡¯t they already discussed it? Who else did they need to wait for?


    Seeing everyone¡¯s confusion, Mike explained, ¡°We need to wait for Professor Ryan to come over. Professor Ryan is a good friend of Dr. William. We need Professor Ryan¡¯s help. Also, I believe that Professor Ryan will have a different opinion about this video.¡±


    After hearing Mike¡¯s explanation, everyone immediately showed a look of understanding.


    After all, this was Professor Ryan, the top scientist in Japan.


    Only someone with his identity could make everyone else patiently wait for him.


    Everyone had nothing to do, so they watched the test of Robot No. 1 again..

 Chapter 28

    Suddenly, a young researcher raised his hand and asked, ¡°Can¡¯t we contact him directly?¡±


    Mike looked at the researcher and shook his head, saying, ¡°Now that Anderson is in Hyman Technology, it¡¯s impossible for us to have a chance to contact him privately.¡±


    ¡°In that case, are we going to the star-spire country?¡±


    ¡°Yes. After all, we have to get our hands on such technology. We can only have a good talk with them when we go to their experimental base.¡±


    Soon, a few minutes later¡­


    The door of the conference room suddenly opened and an old man with wrinkles all over his face and black-framed glasses walked in.


    He glanced at Mike, and the two of them nodded at each other.


    The old man walked quickly to the front of the conference room. ¡°I saw that video just now. The things in it¡­ are real.¡±


    ¡°Professor Ryan is verifying the video¡¯s authenticity?¡±


    ¡°If all the things in the video are real, Professor Ryan would know.¡±


    Hearing their discussion, Professor Ryan¡¯s face also showed a hint of helplessness. He explained, ¡°I didn¡¯t believe it at first, but I had a video conversation with William. I saw the robot named Robot No. 1 with my own eyes. It¡¯s indeed hard to imagine, but these are the facts.¡±


    ¡°I plan to go to New York City in person,¡± Ryan said seriously.


    Hearing Ryan¡¯s thoughts, all the professors present showed a surprised expression.


    This was Professor Ryan!


    In the past, it was always others who begged to come and ask for advice from Professor Ryan.


    Now, he actually needed to ask for advice from others?


    However, since Professor Ryan valued this technology so much, it meant that it was very likely to be real.


    Immediately, the other doctors and professors in the meeting room raised their hands one by one, indicating that they wanted to join in.


    ¡°Okay, since everyone has the same idea, then we¡¯ll find a time to go and take a look together!¡±


    Seeing everyone¡¯s enthusiastic attitude, Ryan nodded and made a decision.


    ¡°Professor Ryan, there are so many of us and we all have teaching tasks. We might not be able to leave for the time being. We¡¯d better find a day when the students are on vacation!¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s still a month left and the students are going to have their summer vacation. Why don¡¯t we go over and investigate during this time?¡± a doctor suggested.


    ¡°I think that isn¡¯t a bad idea. There are still some experiments in my lab that haven¡¯t been completed. It will take some time to complete the handover.¡±


    After hearing that everyone had finished discussing, Professor Ryan nodded in agreement.


    Although he really wanted to immediately head over and see what this technology was like, he also had some experiments and teaching tasks that he had to properly hand over before anything.


    ¡°Okay, it¡¯s decided then.¡±


    Seeing that they were done, Mike clapped his hands.


    ¡­


    At the same time in Hyman Tech¡¯s Science and Technology Building.


    At this moment in a conference room, Anderson slowly stood up from his chair.


    He looked at everyone in the room and said, ¡°Yes, my next project is to develop a new alloy material. In my next plan, I will also include the research of local smart equipment!¡±


    ¡°Local smart equipment?¡± Everyone was puzzled.


    ¡°Yes. For example, a mechanical glove, or more accurately, a mechanical gauntlet!¡± Anderson explained.


    He recalled that in the movies, Iron Man once relied on a single arm component that had artificial intelligence imbued into it.


    He was currently unable to build a nuclear reactor, so it was basically impossible for him to use this thing to shoot out energy.


    But his requirements weren¡¯t high. The gauntlet could lock onto objects and even help the user quickly become proficient with firearms.


    The mechanical gauntlet idea was to help soldiers carry heavy objects, such as artillery shells, and also reduce the recoil of their guns when they fired.


    They would also allow the soldiers to quickly master the new electromagnetic energy gun he had developed.


    In the next month, they would be tackling the special alloy-titanium alloy before continuing on with creating the mechanical gauntlet.


    Lastly, they would then work on the electromagnetic energy gun blueprints.


    These could be unlocked in advance according to his wishes.


    And these technologies, which he thought about carefully, were of particular use at this moment.


    They would not cause too much impact on the world like controlled nuclear fusion.


    ¡°But since these are to be made, do we really have to use the special alloy titanium alloy that you mentioned just now?¡± Jack asked after he raised his hand.


    ¡°Yes, only after using titanium alloy can the machine¡¯s consumption be greatly reduced. If such things are made from ordinary materials, it is very likely to cause great wear and tear.¡±


    After listening to Anderson¡¯s explanation, everyone understood and nodded to indicate that there were no further issues.


    ¡°Alright, then today¡¯s meeting ends here!¡±


    Anderson turned off the projector in the meeting room. The researchers took their documents and slowly went back.


    He took his own documents and walked to his office.


    The people who were doing research with him were the assistants or disciples of the old researchers of Hyman Technology.


    No one had heard of artificial intelligence before.


    Moreover, President Joseph had summoned all of them, which was why there were so many instructor-level professors to help him with his experiments.


    Now, they still had their own matters to attend to.


    William was basically in charge of the artificial intelligence project.


    Each science and technology instructor sent a few assistant disciples from their laboratory to Anderson¡¯s hands to help him quickly build a research team.


    However, these student assistants still needed a lot of training.


    However, all the materials would arrive in a few days.


    After that, they could start the material research immediately.


    Thinking of this, Anderson¡¯s eyes couldn¡¯t help but burn with excitement.


    The matter of artificial intelligence was too important and he hadn¡¯t yet discussed it with their country¡¯s military leadership.


    This did not affect the fact that he still needed funding for their current project. They would definitely need high-quality materials like the new element alloy-titanium alloy.


    ¡­


    Just as Anderson had just finished his meeting.


    Joseph¡¯s assistant, Jack, had already arrived at Joseph¡¯s room.


    At this time, in the room, Joseph and William were looking at the information that Anderson had given them.


    Anderson had discussed his plan with them from the very beginning.


    After all, such a plan was no small matter, especially when they heard that Anderson wanted to research weapons.


    Every country had never stopped researching electromagnetic weapons. Now, Anderson wanted to research electromagnetic energy guns.


    This surprised Joseph and William.


    Rather than weapons, they would like to see some surprising technology like artificial intelligence because the world did not lack technological weapons!

 Chapter 29

    ¡°Jack, what do you think of the contents of the meeting held by Anderson just now?¡± Joseph turned off the video and asked Jack.


    Jack lowered his head and pondered for a moment. He looked up at Joseph and said, ¡°Teacher, although I don¡¯t understand what Anderson wants to do, I¡¯m still very much looking forward to this technology. Although Anderson proposed the idea of studying weapons, I believe that according to his personality, it is probably still in a field that hasn¡¯t been covered before. I know from his chat that he has a lot of wonderful ideas, so I think that even if he studies weapons, he can still give us some surprises!¡±


    Hearing Jack¡¯s idea, William nodded in agreement.


    ¡°I think we just need to wait. Maybe Anderson will continue to give us surprises,¡± William continued.


    Joseph also thought for a while, then looked at William and said, ¡°William, I think so too. However, I¡¯m not as patient as I was when I was young. I hope to see the results of Anderson¡¯s research soon.¡±


    ¡°In that case, we¡¯ll let some of our laboratory instructors go over and help him deal with some things. This will make sure that the students won¡¯t be clumsy and misunderstand Anderson¡¯s idea, causing the experiment to drag on,¡± William agreed.


    Soon, after another conference call with Joseph.


    A few old professors who didn¡¯t have any important experimental work on hand decisively agreed to Joseph¡¯s request.


    After all, compared to boring repeated experiments, their understanding of science and technology had deepened after communicating with Anderson.


    Although Anderson looked very young, his mind wasn¡¯t like a young man¡¯s at all.


    His ideas were all perfect and his operating experience was very rich. He didn¡¯t belong with these old professors at all.


    Although they had been very tired when they had studied artificial intelligence together with Anderson, it also made them feel a long-lost fulfillment and the original initial excitement they had when they had first begun their lives as researchers.


    In fact, when they heard that Joseph wanted some professors to help Anderson research new projects, many of them were very interested. Unfortunately, they still had many experiments that hadn¡¯t been completed yet.


    Therefore, they could only watch and envy their old friends who didn¡¯t have any important experimental work in their hands.


    After hanging up the video call, the professors casually greeted their assistants who were helping to conduct the experiments.


    After the five of them made an appointment to have dinner together, they walked toward Anderson¡¯s laboratory.


    After their lunch break, the students came to the laboratory to begin their daily tasks.


    The entire laboratory seemed to be operating normally, but the most important professor had disappeared.


    ¡°Huh?¡±


    ¡°What¡¯s going on? Is the teacher on vacation today?¡±


    ¡°Yeah, why isn¡¯t the professor here?¡±


    The students walked into the laboratory in twos and threes, holding some experimental material reports in their hands. They were preparing to report but discovered that the old professor, who had always attached great importance to research, had not come.


    Just like that, the students put aside their doubts and spent the whole afternoon relaxing.


    Until the afternoon while they were at the staff cafeteria, a few students in the laboratory suddenly realized that this had happened across multiple labs at the same time.


    A few professors had already left their own laboratory and all went to Anderson¡¯s laboratory.


    ¡°Sigh, if I had known, I would have agreed to go to Anderson¡¯s laboratory.¡±


    ¡°Who knows, even the teachers went to Anderson¡¯s laboratory to participate in his new project.¡±


    ¡°Such a project is definitely not a simple one. The teachers were able to go, so it must have been arranged by President Joseph.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m so envious! After all, he¡¯s the technological genius who developed the Artificial Intelligence Project!¡±


    ¡°But that day, I heard that he wanted to research weapons and new materials?¡±


    ¡°Yeah, that¡¯s what I heard as well, which is why I rejected participating in the project. All sorts of weapons have been thoroughly researched by various laboratories. However, I didn¡¯t expect that even the teachers would have gone to Anderson¡¯s laboratory.¡±


    During this afternoon alone, during all the breaks and resting places, there were students who had long discussed Anderson¡¯s new experimental project.


    Others had the courage to apply for the job in the lab.


    Many people had tried but slots were limited.


    Now, they couldn¡¯t go even if they wanted to unless they could be better than those people.


    However, they were mostly students with average grades and the lab was only for the elites now.


    Even so, they were extremely curious about Anderson¡¯s experiment.


    After all, Anderson¡¯s true age was about the same as theirs but he was able to reach such a level. It was evident that he had a very good level of technological understanding.


    ¡­


    Just like that, Anderson¡¯s experiment officially began three days later.


    Several trucks carrying various kinds of metal ores drove into the experimental base.


    The boxes of experimental materials stunned the passing researchers.


    Everyone in the laboratory started to get busy under Anderson¡¯s guidance.


    The research direction of the laboratory was divided into two aspects.


    One was the chemical research related to titanium alloys, the other was the research related to mechanical arms, gloves, engineering mechanics, and physics that matched human body equipment.


    The researchers were now the busiest people in the lab.


    As the lab got busy, file after file was sent to Joseph and William¡¯s desk.


    Joseph and William put down the files and looked out of the window in the direction of the lab.


    Outside the entire laboratory, countless passing researchers looked curiously inside every day.


    ¡­


    A month quickly passed.


    In Japan, all the professors had made their preparations and boarded the international flight to New York City.


    The entire flight was not that long, just taking up half a day.


    When the private plane stopped at JFK airport, the cabin door opened.


    The five-person special elite team from Japan walked out first.


    The entire plane was filled with big shots from the scientific world.


    Although the Japanese government was very reluctant to let these professors come over, there was nothing they could do. If these professors were to cause a ruckus, their Empire would suffer even more.


    This was because these researchers were all members of the Science and Technology Association.


    If they no longer wanted to stay within Japan, they themselves would be helpless to stop them.


    Therefore, they could only send out their country¡¯s most elite special forces team to protect them.


    After the special forces team walked out of the cabin, the first person to come out was Professor Ryan.


    He looked at Joseph and William, who were coming to pick them up not far away. His eyes revealed a hint of nostalgia for seeing his old friend.


    ¡°Ryan, long time no see!¡± William greeted him.


    ¡°Well, we haven¡¯t seen each other for at least five years!¡± Ryan said thoughtfully.


    ¡°It seems that you take this matter very seriously. In the past, even if we had any scientific experiments, only a few people came. You have so many people here. You must have other motives,¡± Joseph said as he reached out his hand to Ryan..

 Chapter 30

    Ryan looked into Joseph¡¯s eyes and shook his hand hard. He said seriously, ¡°We do have other purposes, such as poaching that young man named Anderson.¡±


    ¡°That young man is not easily bribed. He can stay at Hyman Technology only because he wants to do his own research. I can¡¯t control his thoughts,¡± Joseph said with a smile.


    ¡°I knew it. A person who can create such a level of technology is definitely not a simple person, even if he¡¯s just a young man.¡±


    Ryan shook his head helplessly and continued, ¡°Oh right, how¡¯s that artificial intelligence? I want to see it.¡±


    ¡°Since that¡¯s the case, let¡¯s go to the testing site,¡± William suggested.


    ¡°Okay, I think that¡¯s fine. I¡¯ve wanted to see it for a long time.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right. Only the feeling brought by the live experience can let us see the data more clearly and intuitively.¡±


    Hearing William¡¯s suggestion, many of the professors immediately raised their hands in agreement.


    Seeing this situation, Joseph also let out a sigh of relief helplessly. He knew that no matter how tired these people were, they would never go to the place he had arranged for them to rest.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±


    Soon, the group of people sat in five small cars and headed toward the experimental site.


    The special forces got into another car.


    In the first black car, Ryan looked at Joseph and asked, ¡°There¡¯s one more thing. Where is researcher Anderson? I want to meet him.¡±


    ¡°Anderson? Before you came, I already sent someone to inform him of your arrival.¡± Joseph nodded.


    ¡°That¡¯s great. With him here, our communication will be more convenient and relaxed,¡± Ryan raised his glasses and said with satisfaction.


    A few minutes later.


    When everyone arrived at the experimental site, they saw that Robot No. 1 that appeared in the video was already waiting at the side.


    The professors¡¯ eyes all lit up as they circled around Robot No. 1.


    ¡°This is Robot No. 1. It¡¯s much smarter than what we saw in the video.¡±


    ¡°When I saw it in the video, I felt like it was a big toy. But when I look at it closely now, I see the circuits in its neck. I could feel the technical elements in it.¡±


    ¡°Oh right, where¡¯s researcher Anderson?¡± Ryan suddenly thought of it and turned around to ask


    Joseph looked at his assistant, Jack.


    Jack scratched his head awkwardly. ¡°Yesterday¡¯s research was a little late. Anderson is still washing up. He¡¯ll be here soon.¡±


    Ryan was immediately interested when he heard that. ¡°Research? What research is Anderson doing now?¡±


    Jack didn¡¯t answer and looked at Joseph.


    Joseph casually replied, ¡°Weapons research.¡±


    ¡°Weapons research? Didn¡¯t Anderson think that technology and weapons were already limited in the video? Why would he study weapons?¡± Ryan was puzzled.


    Obviously, he did not accept this answer.


    However, since Joseph answered him, it meant that Joseph did not want to talk too much with him.


    He also expressed understanding. No one would tell others about their next plan before their research was completed.


    After a few minutes, Anderson quickly walked toward the experimental site.


    He had just pushed the door open, causing everyone to look.


    When everyone saw that it was Anderson, their eyes were suddenly filled with a strong thirst for knowledge.


    Regardless of who they were, they quickly surrounded Anderson.


    ¡°Anderson, I have a very important question. Regarding artificial intelligence, what is your underlying logic?¡±


    Looking at these anxious faces, Anderson felt as if he was a celebrity dressed in gossip, surrounded by a large group of reporters and paparazzi.


    The surrounding noise drowned him out. He was at a loss for what to do.


    When Joseph and William saw this, they both had helpless expressions on their faces.


    Wasn¡¯t Anderson now far too popular?


    At this moment, only Jack¡¯s eyes were filled with envy.


    He wished he could have such a day. For now, he could only laugh at himself in his dreams.


    He used to be a little jealous of Anderson, but now, he didn¡¯t have such thoughts because the gap between them was too big.


    They were no longer on the same level.


    Suddenly, Joseph gently patted Jack¡¯s shoulder and said, ¡°Jack, shout for them to be quiet.¡±


    ¡°Me?¡± Jack pointed at himself and was surprised.


    He was just a small assistant. These big shots were all famous professors.


    He felt that his status was a little unworthy.


    ¡°You are representing William and me now. You can¡¯t let us two old men shout, right?¡± Joseph said helplessly.


    ¡°Okay, I understand.¡±


    Jack nodded, took a deep breath, and suddenly shouted at Anderson¡¯s direction, ¡°Professors, please be quiet, okay?¡±


    After Jack¡¯s reminder, all the professors instantly woke up and realized how awkward their actions were.


    After all, before they came, they had accumulated too many doubts in their hearts. When they saw Anderson, all of these questions had suddenly burst forth.


    It made them forget what they were doing for a moment.


    However, after the release of their emotions and Jack¡¯s reminder, they had already returned to their normal state.


    At this moment, Anderson also heaved a heavy sigh of relief.


    He was finally free!


    Joseph saw that the situation had returned to normal and coughed hard. ¡°I know that everyone has a lot of problems in their hearts right now, but Anderson just came over. There are so many questions and he can¡¯t answer them all at once.


    ¡°How about this? Everyone writes down the questions in their minds on a piece of paper. I¡¯ll gather them together and let Anderson summarize them.¡±


    After hearing Joseph¡¯s suggestion, the professors all nodded in agreement and looked at each other awkwardly.


    They had been holding back for the past month and were getting anxious. They even needed Joseph to remind them of such simple things.


    Soon, Joseph arranged for everyone to come to a large conference room.


    However, to their surprise, there was an exquisite breakfast spread in front of every seat.


    ¡°Although it¡¯s already nine o¡¯clock, I know that many of you haven¡¯t had breakfast yet,¡± Joseph said with a smile.


    ¡°Now, everyone, you can write down those questions on paper. I¡¯ll come and collect them after you¡¯re done,¡± William continued.


    Professor Ryan took out his phone as he ate breakfast and wrote down all the questions he had thought of during the past month.


    The other professors also did the same. [160]


    Joseph turned on the projector and started to play the video of Robot No. 1 as a warm-up to the meeting..

 Chapter 31

    After all the professors had finished their breakfast.


    Anderson drank a cup of hot tea and wiped the oil off the corner of his mouth. He was ready to start this exchange of questions and answers.


    ¡°Anderson, your first question is about the underlying logic of artificial intelligence. How did you design it?¡± Joseph picked up the paper in his hand and asked.


    Anderson nodded and said to the conference room, ¡°Which professor wrote this question?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s me.¡± Behind the large square table on the right, a doctor raised his hand and answered.


    Anderson smiled and began to answer the question, using the behavior of Robot No. 1 in the video as an example.


    Just like that, as the first question was answered, more and more people began to follow the flow of the Q&A session.


    Facing these many questions, Anderson answered each and every one of them in great detail.


    Combined with the video of Robot No. 1, the doubts in the professors¡¯ hearts were all solved.


    This included the doubts they had about Anderson before. All of it had practically disappeared.


    After all, to be able to answer all of these questions, one had to have a deep understanding of the subject matter to be able to answer.


    At this moment, in the hearts of all the professors, there was only one thought regarding Anderson.


    No matter what price they had to pay, they had to poach Anderson to Japan.


    Whether it was for the Empire or for them, this was a very important matter.


    This was because Anderson was a true genius, and only a genius could invent and realize such technology.


    Time continued to pass during the session.


    By noon, the doubts in their hearts had mostly been solved and they were willing to go out and get food at a restaurant.


    In the restaurant, the professors were also constantly discussing with each other, sharing their insights from earlier while eating.


    Many researchers of Hyman Technology were dumbfounded by this. Was this how the top researchers were like?


    No wonder it was said that the progress of scientific research there had almost surpassed that of the star-spire nation. Such research attitude was admirable!


    For a time, it even aroused many students of Hyman Technology to follow suit.


    At half-past two in the afternoon, all the professors were finally willing to rest at ease.


    Of course, most of them stayed at Hyman Technology to view the projects that had been developed in recent years.


    When the crowd passed by Anderson¡¯s lab, their eyes were filled with curiosity.


    They had seen many labs before but they were all relatively idle. However, there were so many people going in and out of this lab, and everyone was very busy.


    After asking around, they were even more excited when they found out that this was the lab of Anderson¡¯s latest project.


    To be able to create a technology like artificial intelligence, Anderson¡¯s latest project must also be the kind of technology that could stand out from the crowd.


    However, Anderson was not in the lab at the moment. They could only wait outside since they did not have permission to enter.


    However, after a few hours, they did not see any sign of Anderson. They had no choice but to return to their own accommodation.


    However, it was not a total loss. At least they knew the direction of Anderson¡¯s two research projects.


    The next day, the group of doctors with dark circles under their eyes came to the conference hall in groups.


    ¡°Why did you go to Anderson¡¯s laboratory yesterday? I didn¡¯t sleep well the whole night. Did you have the same problem too?¡±


    ¡°Forget it. Compared to this, we will know the answer soon.¡± Professor Ryan rubbed his eyes, trying to reduce the dark circles under his eyes.


    Finally, Anderson opened the door and came to the conference room.


    This time, Joseph and Dr. William didn¡¯t come.


    Jack followed behind Anderson, holding the question-and-answer sheet filled with questions.


    Soon, the second round of questions and answers began.


    It was five o¡¯clock in the afternoon.


    When the last question of the day was answered by Anderson, Professor Ryan suddenly raised his hand and asked a question.


    ¡°Anderson, remember at the Science & Technology Summit, you seemed to have some other plans. Why do you want to design weapons and research materials now?¡±


    Hearing this question, everyone present also looked at Anderson with dark circles under their eyes.


    According to Anderson¡¯s definition of the field of artificial intelligence, as well as his subsequent thoughts, didn¡¯t he want to build a new world of human consciousness based on the foundation of artificial intelligence?


    Now he put artificial intelligence aside to study materials and weapons?


    Wasn¡¯t this putting the cart before the horse and not knowing the order of things?


    Joseph and William would also be aware of the problem behind this. However, they did not stop Anderson but instead provided him with resources and help.


    So this thing might not be as simple as it seemed.


    The weapon they were talking about might be a multi-purpose weapon or maybe something else entirely?


    Of course, Anderson didn¡¯t know what these people were thinking, nor did he know that yesterday evening, a group of science professors stood at the door of his laboratory, wanting to find out what he was studying.


    However, since these people had questions, there was no need to hide things.


    After all, these were all big shots in the scientific world. It would be helpful to publicize their inventions in advance.


    ¡°The projects I¡¯m researching are not casual research projects. These are all part of my final project, which includes the artificial intelligence that I¡¯ve researched before.


    ¡°I¡¯ve already pointed out the general direction of artificial intelligence. As for its follow-up, I can¡¯t develop this technology to the extreme by myself. Even the parts that link to human consciousness may need future generations to slowly try it out step by step.


    ¡°As for the things that I¡¯m working on now, it¡¯s actually very simple. One is the new element alloy, and the other is the mechanical armor.¡±


    After Anderson finished speaking, the professors present were even more confused.


    Putting aside the new element alloy, hadn¡¯t mechanical armor already been researched and broken through already?


    Could it be that Anderson could create something different?


    When Anderson saw everyone¡¯s reaction, his expression showed that he had expected them to feel that way.


    ¡°The mechanical armor that I¡¯m researching is different from what you¡¯ve seen before.¡±


    ¡°My first plan is to develop a mechanical arm. At the same time, I want to install an artificial intelligence chip on this mechanical arm to realize the function of releasing electromagnetic energy pulses.¡±


    After listening to Anderson¡¯s explanation, the room fell into silence. Then, an intense noise erupted.


    There was nothing that the professors in the mechanical armor field did not know. There were even many professors who had experience in researching mechanical weapons designed for the armed forces.


    However, they had never designed mechanical parts like these.


    Because mechanical armed forces were considered elite squads who were usually decked out from head to toe, what was the use of designing only an arm?


    To let others attack your body?


    Moreover, such equipment as mechanical armor was really inconvenient.


    Who liked to wear a heavy iron shell for no reason?

 Chapter 32

    Now, not only did Anderson want to research mechanical weapons, but he also wanted to install artificial intelligence and electromagnetic energy weapons on them?


    Regarding electromagnetic weapons, the entire scientific community had been researching them for a long time. Only Japan and NYC had some results, while others were still in the testing phase.


    But now, Anderson wanted to realize such a function on a mechanical gauntlet?


    It was unrealistic!


    The most fatal point was that electromagnetic weapons needed energy support.


    How could a single mechanical gauntlet achieve this?


    It couldn¡¯t possibly have a large-scale energy supplement to support it.


    Electromagnetic weapons were a difficult problem that the entire scientific community hadn¡¯t studied clearly.


    Now, they had heard about Anderson¡¯s plan to modify electromagnetic weapons.


    They were stunned.


    He didn¡¯t even know how to walk and now, he wanted to run?


    Basically, everyone thought that it was impossible for Anderson to develop it.


    They had once wanted to use electromagnetic weapons technology on naval warships.


    Although the actual performance was barely up to standard, the high cost of building and modifying the warships made them give up on the idea.


    Until now, the research on electromagnetic weapons in Japan was still at a standstill.


    At this time, those PhD professors who were very familiar with the field of technology and weapons suddenly had a very bad impression of Anderson.


    No one would like a dishonest guy, especially when it came to scientific research.


    Anderson naturally saw that everyone was questioning him, so he did not want to answer anything just yet.


    Before he created the AI, he had explained a lot back and forth. However, in the end, they were still unwilling to believe him.


    People would always believe the results that they were willing to believe.


    Unless, of course, they saw it with their own eyes!


    ¡°As for electromagnetic weapons, I¡¯ve already created them. There are two types, portable electromagnetic handguns and G7 electromagnetic sniper rifles,¡± Anderson said confidently.


    Sensing Anderson¡¯s unwavering tone, all the professors present doubted themselves for a moment.


    Could it be that Anderson had really developed it and had even given it a name?


    That is what it sounded like.


    Although everyone doubted it, they did not dare to be so sure now. After all, Anderson had even created something like artificial intelligence.


    Perhaps¡­


    However, they still couldn¡¯t believe their own thoughts. In the end, they could only look at Professor Ryan.


    ¡°Anderson, can I take a look at the electromagnetic weapon that you¡¯ve developed?¡± Professor Ryan said with a smile, a hint of anticipation appearing in his eyes.


    ¡°If you want to take a look, of course. There are no problems with that.¡± Anderson agreed without hesitation.


    Seeing this situation, many of the professors present were confused.


    This kid was too confident!


    Not long ago, Anderson had developed artificial intelligence technology. Now, only a month had passed and he had solved the problem of electromagnetic weapons?


    This was simply beyond their understanding!


    This was impossible!


    ¡­


    An hour later.


    Five cars drove into Hyman Technology¡¯s Weapons Testing Park.


    Hyman Technology¡¯s Weapons Testing Park was located next to Borg University of Science and Technology.


    Borg University of Science and Technology was Joseph and William¡¯s alma mater. It was one of the top ten scientific academies in the world.


    Five black cars stopped in front of a fence.


    The door opened and everyone got out of the cars.


    Anderson greeted the two guards at the sentry post not far away.


    The guard saw that it was Anderson and nodded with a smile. Then, he opened the door.


    Ever since Anderson had developed the electromagnetic weapon that day, Joseph and William had hurriedly brought Anderson over to this area.


    They had to go back and forth to check the data several times before they were satisfied.


    After coming here several times, the guards were very familiar with Anderson.


    The professors from Japan who had followed Anderson by the side were now filled with surprise.


    They didn¡¯t expect that Anderson would have such status here.


    However, this was just a brief thought. At this moment, they were more focused on the box in Jack¡¯s hand.


    This was because the box contained the G7 electromagnetic sniper rifle.


    Everyone walked into the testing range.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go. Compared to just looking at the data on the panel, the actual performance would be better proof of their capabilities.¡±


    The doctors present also nodded in agreement.


    Anderson took the box from Jack¡¯s hand and opened it.


    There were several gun parts of different sizes inside and Anderson began to assemble them skillfully.


    A few minutes later.


    All the parts in the box disappeared and the G7 electromagnetic sniper rifle was now in Anderson¡¯s hand.


    Anderson picked up the G7 and quickly walked to the shooting position under the nervous and expectant gazes of the group of professors led by Ryan.


    Whoosh!


    Bang!


    A hurried and low sound was heard and at the same time, a small hole appeared on a wooden target 100 meters away.


    Seeing this scene, all the professors in the field were instantly stunned.


    30 meters behind the professors, the eyes of the five elite special forces soldiers were practically shining at the scene in front of them.


    They began to discuss in low voices what they had just seen.


    ¡°What speed!¡±


    ¡°What kind of gun is that?¡±


    ¡°The sound of the gun is too soft. If we weren¡¯t familiar with guns, most soldiers wouldn¡¯t be able to hear such a weak sound.¡±


    ¡°Could it be a modified gun with a special silencer?¡±


    ¡°It should be but judging by its appearance, it isn¡¯t really that easy to discern whether that¡¯s the case.¡±


    ¡°Aren¡¯t you talking nonsense? Why don¡¯t you look at where we are now?¡±


    ¡°The Weapons Testing Park?¡±


    ¡°Yeah, the professors are here to see the data performance of these new guns!¡±


    ¡°But I still feel that something is wrong. I saw that the kid¡¯s movement with the gun clearly suggested that he wasn¡¯t familiar with guns but he could still hit the target. The gun itself probably helped him a lot with that.¡±


    ¡°I think so too. It¡¯s impossible for such a gun to be unknown. It must have gone through several iterations before it could be invented.¡±


    Compared to the special forces soldiers¡¯ intuition and experience, the professors were more interested in comparing the weapon¡¯s performance.


    Professor Ryan was a professor who knew a lot about weapons research.


    At this moment, he was constantly thinking about the weapons in this world that could be tested to such an extent.


    But after a few minutes of recollection, he realized that he didn¡¯t know any that had performed so magnificently!


    In fact, he already knew that Anderson had succeeded.


    Because he had also developed electromagnetic weapons, the bullet and the gun barrel exploded in an instant during their testing, and the high explosive friction would also produce very discerning sounds!


    But now, when Anderson¡¯s G7 electromagnetic sniper rifle was fired, there was almost no sound.


    Moreover, the gun¡¯s recoil was almost negligible, to the point where Anderson¡¯s body barely shook when it was fired..

 Chapter 33

    Anderson had already completed the shooting.


    However, the atmosphere at the scene was abnormally quiet.


    The professors from Japan were silent.


    They did not expect that Anderson had really completed the design of the electromagnetic weapon.


    G7 electromagnetic sniper rifle!


    The professors looked at the weapon with a complicated gaze. In their hearts, they had already memorized the name of this gun.


    ¡°Professor Ryan, how is it?¡± Anderson put down the G7 electromagnetic sniper rifle in his hand, turned around, and smiled at the crowd.


    Professor Ryan smiled bitterly. He had been researching electromagnetic weapons for several years, and in the end, a little guy had figured it out so quickly?


    ¡°Anderson, I want to see the data from the previous test. Is that okay?¡±


    Anderson looked at Jack and nodded.


    Jack took out a document that he had already prepared and handed it to Ryan.


    These were the things that Anderson had asked him to prepare in advance.


    Ryan flipped open the document. His eyes kept scanning through all kinds of data, and the expression on his face became more and more interesting.


    When the other doctors saw Professor Ryan¡¯s reaction, they were immediately curious and gathered around to take a look.


    ¡°The bullet¡¯s firing speed is 2,000 meters per second?¡±


    ¡°Even the best sniper rifle in the world today only has a record of 1,500 meters per second.¡±


    ¡°The speed is too exaggerated. It would be great if it could be tested on the spot!¡±


    ¡°I also want to witness it with my own eyes.¡±


    Hearing the crowd¡¯s surprised voices, Anderson was very understanding as he asked Jack to take out a radar testing instrument.


    These things were actually prepared when he, Joseph, and William were testing the gun at the beginning.


    Jack adjusted the instrument casually and made an OK gesture to Anderson.


    Anderson picked up the G7 electromagnetic sniper rifle again.


    Different from the previous time, he turned on the high-power scope this time.


    Although, even with his familiarity with firearms in the past half a month, he already had a certain level of proficiency in firearms as the heir of an arms dealer.


    Basically, he did not need to use a precise aiming device to shoot a target that was about 100 meters away.


    However, since he had already used a radar testing instrument, he had to at least be a little more serious.


    Whoosh!


    Bang!


    Another shot flew past. When everyone came back to their senses, a bullet hole appeared on the tenth ring of the target 100 meters away.


    ¡°What are the numbers?¡± A professor anxiously walked to Jack¡¯s side and asked.


    Jack pointed at the number on the display screen and slowly said, ¡°10 kilometers per second.¡±


    The professor¡¯s eyes widened as he looked at the data. He subconsciously turned his head to look at his colleagues and said in a daze, ¡°10 kilometers per second!¡±


    Hearing this answer¡­


    Everyone was suddenly riled up!


    Ryan looked at the calm-looking Anderson and exclaimed, ¡°It¡¯s unbelievable, too amazing!¡±


    He did not expect Anderson to really be able to create an electromagnetic weapon. He also did not expect the performance of the G7 electromagnetic sniper rifle to be so perfect.


    Anderson touched his chin and looked at Professor Ryan. He said casually, ¡°Actually, this data is just alright.¡±


    Professor Ryan was stunned when he heard Anderson¡¯s flat tone.


    What did he hear?


    Anderson was still not satisfied with such a performance?


    Looking at Anderson¡¯s calm expression, Ryan began to doubt himself.


    ¡°Anderson, is this data not good enough?¡± A doctor voiced out the doubts in Ryan¡¯s heart.


    Anderson thought for a moment and replied, ¡°If we can modify better and lighter bullets, then we can increase the speed even more.¡±


    After listening to Anderson¡¯s explanation, the doctors expressed that they did not want to communicate with Anderson anymore.


    If they continued chatting, they would question their decades of experience and scientific knowledge.


    Was there really such a big difference between people?


    Just as the professors were feeling uncomfortable, the special forces soldiers were already extremely excited.


    ¡°Dr. Anderson, can I fire a shot?¡±


    A burly man with flat hair rubbed his hands and looked at Anderson with a silly smile.


    ¡°Uh¡­ I guess it should be alright.¡± Anderson thought for a moment and agreed to the Special Forces soldier¡¯s request.


    Seeing Anderson¡¯s attitude, the other four special forces soldiers asked excitedly, ¡°Dr. Anderson, can we as well?¡±


    Seeing that a few special forces soldiers were fighting to experience the G7 electromagnetic sniper rifle, a few professors who came from the military academy were immediately interested. ¡°Dr. Anderson, count me in.¡±


    ¡°Yes, each of you can only fire one shot.¡± Anderson nodded and agreed.


    After all, he had already agreed once so it wouldn¡¯t make a difference to let a few more people try it. Since they wanted to see the electromagnetic weapon, he might as well let them experience it. After all, they were all people with high connections, so it wouldn¡¯t hurt to make friends with them.


    The crew-cut special forces soldier took the G7 electromagnetic sniper rifle from Anderson¡¯s hand, turned his head proudly, and raised his chin at his other companions.


    Under everyone¡¯s envious and jealous gazes, the crew-cut special forces soldier took a deep breath and placed the butt of the G7 electromagnetic sniper rifle on his shoulder.


    He did not open the magnifying glass and aimed at the target 100 meters away.


    Whoosh!


    The rapid and weak sound of a gunshot could be heard.


    At the same time, a bullet hole appeared on the tenth ring of the target that he was aiming at.


    ¡°This gun feels so comfortable!¡± the crew-cut special forces soldier exclaimed.


    During the mission, he had used all kinds of guns. This included pistols, rifles, and even machine guns.


    Those guns had been improved for several generations but if they were compared to the G7 electromagnetic sniper rifle in his hand now, he would not be able to use them.


    Instead, he would ask their manufacturers just what kind of crappy gun they had even bothered to build.


    The crew-cut special forces soldier fanatically brushed the side of the G7 electromagnetic sniper rifle as if he was hugging his lover.


    After he fired just now, that gentle feeling made him feel like it was all a dream.


    Had he actually fired a gun?


    It was to the point that he still wanted to fire a few more shots to confirm it.


    The crew-cut special forces soldier glanced at Anderson from the corner of his eye and had some thoughts in his mind.


    Dr. Anderson should not blame him for firing another shot, right?


    But just as he raised the G7, the slightest of movements, a few hurried voices suddenly sounded behind him.


    ¡°Damn it, Antonio, what are you still doing?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s our turn now!¡±


    ¡°Antonio, give me the G7!¡±


    The special forces soldier named Antonio put down the G7 helplessly and reluctantly handed the electromagnetic sniper rifle in his hand to another special forces soldier.


    This special forces soldier held the rifle with a comfortable expression. Then, he looked at the target and began to shoot without hesitation.


    Just like that, everyone began to shoot.


    More than ten people were like children fighting over a toy. Before they got the gun, they kept urging the others.


    When they got the G7, they had to play with it carefully every time. Finally, they reluctantly handed it over.


    Just like that, 35 minutes passed.


    Under the crowd¡¯s enthusiastic and positive atmosphere, everyone had the opportunity for target practice.


    Apart from excitement, there was also desire on everyone¡¯s face.


    No man could refuse such a ¡®toy¡¯!

 Chapter 34

    After everyone had experienced the G7 electromagnetic sniper rifle once, no one questioned Anderson anymore and only looked at him with admiration.


    Previously when Anderson had developed artificial intelligence, they would still think that Anderson had done it by chance.


    But now, Anderson had developed the G7 electromagnetic sniper rifle.


    They could only sigh in their hearts. It seemed like his genius was not just a stroke of luck!


    Of course, compared to these professors¡¯ thoughts, the thoughts of the special forces soldiers were very pure.


    The five of them stared at the G7 electromagnetic sniper rifle that Anderson had placed on the ground for the time being. Their hearts itched, and they felt like ants crawling all over their bodies.


    No, just touching the gun once was not enough.


    One couldn¡¯t just pick up a gun like that on the market. So if they didn¡¯t enjoy it now, they would have to wait for next year¡¯s launch during the Science & Technology Summit when it was reintroduced for sale to the general public.


    The five of them racked their brains, their faces twisted with their mixed feelings and turmoil.


    If the officers who normally gave them orders saw this, they would be too surprised to say anything.


    These guys were clearly like emotionless robots when they were doing missions, but now, they were actually acting like normal people?


    Finally, Antonio, who initially made the request to Anderson, seemed to have thought of something and immediately slapped his head.


    He excitedly glanced at the other four, leaned over, and whispered, ¡°I have an idea.¡±


    ¡°Is Dr. Anderson still testing the G7 electromagnetic sniper rifle? The true ability of the G-7 electromagnetic sniper rifle is not limited to just a 100-meter range. After all, this is a sniper rifle!¡± Antonio said excitedly.


    ¡°Sniper rifle? What¡¯s the difference?¡± Another commando touched his bald head and asked.


    ¡°Are you an idiot? As long as the test is not over, we will have more opportunities to use the G7 electromagnetic sniper rifle.¡± A commando with a wolf tail whip looked at him with disdain.


    After being reminded, the bald special forces soldier had a look of realization on his face. ¡°So that¡¯s how it is! Antonio, I didn¡¯t expect you to have such a good brain. When we¡¯re out on missions, you¡¯re usually not like this.¡± The bald special forces soldier slapped his forehead and looked at Antonio with shining eyes.


    Antonio glanced at him proudly. ¡°That¡¯s only because the mission is too simple. I don¡¯t need to use my brain.¡±


    Soon, the five of them came up with a plan and looked at Anderson with shining eyes.


    ¡°Dr. Anderson, I remember that you¡¯re researching an electromagnetic sniper rifle, right?¡± the bald special forces soldier shouted loudly.


    Hearing this sudden shout, the professors at the field looked at him with displeasure in their eyes.


    Anderson frowned slightly. ¡°Yes, do you think there is something wrong with my gun?¡±


    The bald special forces soldier smiled and scratched his head. ¡°Doctor, I think your gun is really great. Once I hold it in my hand, I don¡¯t want to put it down.¡±


    ¡°Idiot, get to the point!¡± The special forces soldier beside him whispered to remind him.


    ¡°Oh right, Dr. Anderson, since it¡¯s a sniper rifle, shouldn¡¯t we test its sniper performance?¡± Antonio waved his hand and said.


    After Antonio¡¯s reminder, the eyes of the professors in the field also lit up.


    Yes!


    This was a sniper rifle, why not test its long-range performance?


    The professors looked at the G7 electromagnetic sniper rifle in Anderson¡¯s hand again.


    ¡°We can follow the original video and have a competition. This way, it will be more interesting!¡± Professor Ryan suggested.


    The others listened to this suggestion and nodded with smiles, especially those special forces soldiers. They couldn¡¯t wait to hold the G7 electromagnetic sniper rifle in their hands once again and shoot.


    Anderson and the professors made up their minds and ordered people to start moving.


    Soon, the equipment needed for the competition and the candidates for the competition had been chosen among the five special forces soldiers.


    This time, the special forces soldier who had gotten the G7 electromagnetic sniper rifle was the bald special forces soldier.


    He looked at the special forces soldier with a crew cut proudly. Although Antonio had been in the limelight previously, he was very lucky this time. He had obtained the shooting rights of the G7 electromagnetic sniper rifle.


    ¡°Antonio, how is it? Are you envious?¡± The crew cut special forces soldier deliberately came closer, wanting to use this opportunity to make a show of himself.


    ¡°Bill, don¡¯t be so proud. Although your weapon is better than mine, I¡¯m still the best when it comes to sniping and shooting skills!¡± Antonio let out a breath, feeling a little unconvinced.


    When the doctors at the side saw the two special forces soldiers start to fight each other, the atmosphere of the competition instantly became lively.


    ¡°Professor Ryan, do we want to make a bet?¡± Anderson asked Ryan with a smile.


    ¡°What do you want to bet on?¡± Ryan was immediately interested.


    ¡°President Joseph invited me for a drink and gave me a bottle of Lafite. I heard that Professor Ryan¡¯s ancestors are from a noble lineage. Therefore, let¡¯s bet on that bottle. I¡¯ll bet on my G7 electromagnetic sniper rifle¡¯s performance,¡± said Anderson while stroking his chin.


    ¡°Kid, you obviously want to cheat me of my wine, right?¡± Ryan scolded with a smile. ¡°Alright, Anderson. I agree.¡±


    Ryan did not plan to reject Anderson¡¯s idea. After all, he felt that he would make more money if he could befriend a genius with just a bottle of wine.


    Moreover, from what the two special forces soldiers said just now, he did not feel that he would definitely lose.


    Compared to the two guns, the G7 electromagnetic sniper rifle was naturally stronger. However, this competition still depended on one¡¯s skills.


    Ryan glanced at Anderson and found that his expression was very calm. It was as if he felt he had already won the competition.


    ¡°Anderson, don¡¯t underestimate Antonio. He¡¯s the captain of this elite special forces team. He can be called the strongest, all-rounded special forces soldier.¡±


    ¡°Is that so? But with the G7 electromagnetic sniper rifle, I believe that Bill will definitely not lose.¡±


    ¡°Young man, don¡¯t be too conceited. Although weapons are very important for top-level special forces, the gap between their skills is irreparable. These are just the natural instincts of a genius in his own field.¡±


    ¡°We shall see then!¡± Anderson¡¯s eyes were also filled with fighting spirit.


    ¡°Okay, then let¡¯s begin,¡± Ryan said without showing any weakness.


    After hearing the two of them, Jack shouted to the two special forces soldiers who were already ready.. ¡°Let the sniper competition begin!¡±

 Chapter 35

    Just as Jack had said ¡°shoot¡±, Bald Bill had already fired.


    This made everyone look surprised.


    In less than two seconds, he had fired. This was not a sniper, right?


    Although the professor in the field did not know much about sniper techniques, this was still a shot from a distance of 1,000 meters.


    A real sniper would hide in a place for a long time. He would only consider firing after he had considered the terrain, wind direction, air humidity, air density, and other factors.


    Other than external factors, the internal factors were also very important. For example, the mentality, posture, and pulse would all affect the shooting.


    If the sniper did not consider these two aspects carefully and fired rashly, any slight deviation would cause the target to be unable to be killed.


    As for the sniper, it would definitely be a fatal shot.


    The competition had just started and Bill had already fired. This did not seem like a sniper at all.


    This was clearly because he had obtained the G7 electromagnetic sniper rifle. His state of mind was proud and he looked down on Antonio.


    At this time, Antonio had also adjusted his condition to the best.


    The sniper rifle in his hand was carefully designed by him and was also the most convenient one he used for missions.


    After all, the weapon test field of Hyman Technology had a complete set of weapons and weapon accessories. He quickly configured his own exclusive sniper weapon.


    He added a grip, a muzzle recoil device that could stabilize the body of the gun, and several gauze strips.


    Since he wasn¡¯t doing a mission right now, he didn¡¯t need a silencer.


    Compared to a silent sniper, he preferred a violent roar!


    Bang!


    With a loud bang, a flame shot out from the muzzle.


    When Antonio fired the first shot, Bill had already completed the fourth shot.


    Although Bill¡¯s shooting speed was very fast, Antonio was not affected by Bill at all.


    He had completely put himself into the sniper rifle.


    Antonio stared at the scope. At this time, his mind and eyes only had one thought, which was to hit his targets.


    Soon, a few minutes passed.


    Holding the G7 electromagnetic sniper rifle, Bald Bill had completed 10 shots.


    Antonio had three shots left.


    Bill waited quietly on the side. He was very confident in his results.


    Ever since he got this gun, he had never been so confident in his shooting skills.


    This gun was a gun that was born for him.


    On the other side, Antonio adjusted his body and breathing again.


    Bang!


    This was his last shot.


    Finally, both of them completed their sniper shots.


    Jack and a group of doctors took out infrared binoculars and began to collect and compare the data of the two.


    A few minutes later.


    A look of disbelief appeared on their faces.


    ¡°Antonio, there are a total of ten shots. Nine of them scored ten points, and one of them has nine points. Bill also has nine shots with ten points and one shot with nine points.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s a draw between the two of them!¡±


    In an instant, the audience was stunned.


    Even Anderson was stunned. ¡°I guess this works?¡±


    Antonio put down the sniper rifle in his hand and looked at Bill with a smile. ¡°Bill, not bad!¡±


    ¡°Antonio, you¡¯re also very strong!¡± The corner of Bill¡¯s mouth curled up slightly.


    In fact, the reason why they had fought to a draw was because they had discussed this beforehand.


    However, the gazes between Antonio and Bill were seen by Ryan.


    He had lived for so many years, how could he not understand that this was the little scheme of a few mercenaries?


    However, he could satisfy their wish to compete again.


    ¡°Anderson, let¡¯s change people again. Let¡¯s compete again,¡± Ryan suggested with a smile.


    At this moment, Anderson saw what happened between the three of them. It was obvious that these two special forces soldiers were up to something.


    However, since the other party was willing to compete, there was no need for him to refuse. He just had to explain some things in advance.


    Anderson walked in front of the special forces soldiers and greeted them with a smile. ¡°You guys have competed well in this match!¡±


    Hearing Anderson¡¯s words, the special forces soldiers nodded awkwardly.


    Soon, the remaining three special forces soldiers and two other people were selected.


    The last person who was not selected had an ugly expression on his face. In the end, he could only watch the two of them participate in the match.


    A few minutes later.


    The match began again.


    This time, after Anderson¡¯s reminder, the two special forces soldiers did not attempt the same scheme as Antonio and Bill.


    When they were in their best condition, the two of them immediately opened fire.


    This time, the competition ended very quickly.


    When the two special forces soldiers put away their guns, they sat quietly at the side.


    ¡°How is it? My G7 electromagnetic sniper rifle has improved the sniper greatly,¡± Anderson said to Ryan with a smile.


    At this moment, Ryan also put away the binoculars in his hands.


    He smiled at Anderson and praised, ¡°Indeed, this rifle should really improve the sniper even more. Whether it¡¯s sound or power, this rifle far surpasses ordinary sniper rifles. Anderson, you win this time.¡±


    From this competition, Ryan could already foresee that soon, the world¡¯s technological weapons field would change.


    ¡°It seems that in the future battlefield, the G7 electromagnetic sniper rifle will be the new star of the battlefield!¡± Ryan sighed. Then, he looked at the two special forces soldiers who were still not satisfied and asked, ¡°As professional soldiers, what do you think of this gun?¡±


    Antonio and Bill looked at each other.


    Antonio said, ¡°I suddenly feel that once this kind of gun is released, all US snipers who have trained hard for many years will lose our jobs.¡±


    ¡°Yes, this kind of gun is too terrifying. The recoil force is small and it¡¯s very easy to use. Even an ordinary soldier can reach the level that we professional snipers can do!¡±


    At this moment, the two felt that their many years of skills were so easily replaced by machines and their hearts immediately welled up with frustration.


    When Anderson heard their words, he suddenly laughed out loud.


    When the two special forces soldiers saw this, they immediately thought that Anderson was mocking them. Their hearts immediately surged with anger as they looked at him.


    Anderson shook his head and said, ¡°You guys are completely wrong!¡±


    When they heard Anderson¡¯s words, everyone, including Professor Ryan, suddenly had doubts in their eyes.


    After all, these were the two special forces soldiers¡¯ true thoughts and they had come to this conclusion based on their years of experience.


    However, Anderson had some other thoughts?

 Chapter 36

    Anderson glanced at everyone present and a smile appeared on his face.


    Finally, he looked at the two special forces soldiers.


    ¡°Antonio, Bill. In your sniping career, how far is the longest range you¡¯ve ever shot from?¡±


    Hearing Anderson¡¯s question, the two special forces soldiers showed a proud expression on their faces.


    ¡°3,200 meters!¡± Bill answered.


    ¡°3,540 meters!¡± Antonio said confidently.


    ¡°Well¡­¡± Anderson¡¯s expression was a little strange.


    Antonio frowned. ¡°Is there a problem?¡±


    This was their best result. Such results could be ranked within the top five in the whole world.


    But now, it was being questioned?


    Why?


    The special forces soldiers looked more and more displeased.


    Even though Anderson was able to develop such a powerful technology, he was not their superior nor a professional sniper. How could he have the confidence to question them?


    Anderson then explained, ¡°All of you are misunderstanding. I am not questioning your abilities. What you said just now is based on your previous records.


    ¡°However, have you ever thought about what level you professional elite special forces can reach if you use the current G7 to carry out missions? Don¡¯t be fixated by this small test field in front of you.¡±


    After Anderson finished speaking, a look of understanding appeared on everyone¡¯s faces.


    A few special forces soldiers stared at the G7 electromagnetic sniper rifle, their eyes shining with excitement.


    That¡¯s right, if they had such a weapon, wouldn¡¯t it be easy for them to achieve even a range of 5,000 meters?


    Thinking of this, the five people¡¯s faces were full of smiles. They respectfully walked to Anderson¡¯s side and said, ¡°Dr. Anderson, if you want to hold a weapons conference at some point, please consider us!¡±


    At this moment, seeing the attitudes of the five special forces soldiers, Professor Ryan could not help but sigh. ¡°Sure enough, times have changed!¡±


    Suddenly, an idea flashed through Ryan¡¯s mind.


    He quickly walked to Anderson and asked, ¡°The range of the G7 electromagnetic sniper rifle has increased compared to the guns used before. Does it also have an increase in power?¡±


    After Ryan¡¯s questioning, all the professors realized something.


    The technology that Anderson had developed could not be seen by ordinary people. It had to be tested from a completely new angle.


    ¡°That¡¯s right. This G7 electromagnetic sniper rifle is more powerful than a traditional sniper rifle,¡± Anderson said as he nodded.


    Therefore, everyone present was even more excited.


    A few minutes later, the new round of testing began again!


    ¡°Bill, are you ready?¡± asked Ryan expectantly.


    ¡°Yes!¡± Bill nodded.


    The next moment, after Jack had told them to fire, Bill pressed the trigger.


    A distant flat ground suddenly burst out with explosive fireworks!


    ¡°Let¡¯s go take a look!¡±


    Seeing the result, Professor Ryan couldn¡¯t wait to find out what had happened.


    After all, the test target this time was not an ordinary wooden target, but an armored target that specialized in testing the power of uniform mass.


    This target was made out of a composite steel plate with uniform density.


    Just like the shell of an armored vehicle, this was a common material that was utilized during wartime.


    Soon, everyone came to the side of the target.


    There was only a small hole on the composite target, which was about the size of a fist. A ring of red liquid steel appeared around it. It even kept falling down until it finally turned into a black iron block.


    And inside the thick target, a round bullet had completely deformed.


    ¡°This power¡­ There¡¯s actually a circle of red soldering iron around here?¡±


    ¡°This is the actual test result of the G7 electromagnetic sniper rifle? It can almost penetrate a tank?¡±


    The crowd gathered around the hole and sighed.


    Anderson looked at it with pity and said, ¡°The material of the bullet still needs to be improved.¡±


    ¡°If the bullet¡¯s design is better, its armor-piercing ability can be improved a little. However, its power is still small.¡±


    Hearing Anderson¡¯s words, the professors and special forces soldiers present were dumbfounded.


    They were still not satisfied with such a result?


    The power was already exaggerated to the extreme!


    However, when they remembered that Anderson seemed to have expressed such emotions previously, they were not so surprised.


    Perhaps this was the idea of a genius!


    Not only did they develop the world¡¯s unique artificial intelligence, but they also broke through the bottleneck in electromagnetic technology and weapons research.


    This might really be Anderson¡¯s innermost thoughts.


    Anderson could say such words and casually judge his own experiments, but the others could not simply because they weren¡¯t qualified.


    At this moment, Professor Ryan was already thinking about what Anderson had said.


    ¡°If the bullet and the material of the bullet are upgraded¡­ What do you think of a needle-shaped bullet?¡± Professor Ryan looked at Anderson and asked.


    Anderson thought for a moment and nodded. ¡°Hmm¡­ That¡¯s an idea that could be considered.¡±


    After receiving Anderson¡¯s affirmation, Professor Ryan was like a student who had been praised by a teacher, his face full of excitement.


    ¡°I knew this would work! As long as he uses such a bullet, he should be able to completely destroy a tank!¡±


    Professor Ryan was getting more and more excited. He even started to dance. He did not look like a 50-year-old man who was approaching his sixties.


    Seeing Professor Ryan¡¯s appearance, some of the other professors were also affected by his emotions. They all revealed excited expressions.


    ¡°Such power is indeed terrifying.¡±


    A few special forces soldiers at the side also realized this during the moment.


    Having been on the battlefield, they had already started to associate an image in their minds.


    In the trenches, a group of soldiers held the G7 electromagnetic sniper rifle and aimed at the dozens of armored tanks on the opposite side.


    At the next moment, they pressed the trigger together.


    In an instant, countless needle-shaped bullets formed a rain of bullets, piercing through the tanks, tearing through countless pieces of flesh, exploding smoke and dust that tore the entire battlefield apart.


    To achieve all this, perhaps only a small team of more than a dozen soldiers would be enough.


    Was this the future battlefield?


    Thinking of this cruelty, a few special forces soldiers could not help but shudder.


    It was too terrifying!


    Especially when such a weapon appeared in the hands of the enemy, they had no intention of resisting.


    However, on second thought, if such a weapon appeared in their hands¡­


    Thinking of this, the few special forces soldiers immediately trembled with excitement.


    At this moment, the five of them only had one thought in their hearts.


    That was to become the first batch of soldiers to obtain the G7..

 Chapter 37

    In order to purchase the first batch of G7 electromagnetic automatic sniper rifles, a few special forces soldiers looked at Anderson with flattering faces and said, ¡°Dr. Anderson, we misunderstood you just now. It¡¯s all our fault. If you want to release your weapon at the Science & Technology Summit next year, please consider us first!¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t plan to hold an exhibition about this weapon. Maybe, even the Science & Technology Summit next year will not be held,¡± Anderson thought for a moment and replied.


    ¡°You don¡¯t plan to release it?¡± Hearing this answer, everyone present was stunned.


    After all, once such a powerful weapon was released, it would definitely set off a global frenzy.


    The huge profits would be in the hundreds of millions.


    However, Anderson wasn¡¯t moved by such benefits.


    This was simply unimaginable to them!


    ¡°Of course. Although I won¡¯t release it to the public, it¡¯s only because I don¡¯t intend to research the model after the G7. That¡¯s the progress of this weapon¡¯s research.¡±


    After hearing Anderson¡¯s words, everyone present understood Anderson¡¯s arrogant thoughts.


    Obviously, right now, Anderson just didn¡¯t want to study such a weapon anymore.


    His idea might be to study other weapons.


    Maybe as a genius, he felt that such a weapon was no longer challenging.


    Suddenly, the special forces soldiers were left with nothing to say.


    Because they really wanted to be able to use such a weapon, Anderson had actually told them that these wouldn¡¯t be in mass production.


    The G 7 was the only generation of weapons of its kind and would also be the last.


    At this moment, Anderson continued, ¡°Actually, I don¡¯t have many thoughts about this G7. Do you still remember my previous idea that I had pitched before?¡±


    Many professors began to recall what Anderson had said before.


    Suddenly, one of the professors with a bald head said, ¡°Do you want to install the electromagnetic weapon into the mechanical arm?¡±


    Anderson nodded. ¡°Yes, and the artificial intelligence as well.¡±


    ¡°Can this really be done?¡±


    This was the only question left in the professors¡¯ minds.


    However, when they saw Anderson¡¯s confident expression, they somehow believed him.


    If it was Anderson, it was not impossible!


    However, they only paused for a moment on this idea.


    After all, if Anderson could really get this kind of scientific research and development, wouldn¡¯t there already be results?


    Up until now, Anderson still hadn¡¯t realized all his plans.


    This was scientific research. No one could guarantee that every experiment would succeed!


    Now, the other professors present were caught in a strange circle.


    They wanted to see Anderson develop something new, but they did not want him to succeed.


    Because, if Anderson could develop such a thing, what wouldn¡¯t Anderson understand about weapons technology in the entire scientific community?


    This was equivalent to indirectly slapping them in the face.


    They had studied something for decades that they didn¡¯t understand, and it had just been casually broken down and developed by a young man who wasn¡¯t even 20 years old.


    At this moment, they had an inexplicable expectation.


    They were expecting Anderson to fail!


    Who wouldn¡¯t fail an experiment at least once? This was simply too outrageous.


    This was not in accordance with their common sense.


    However, they had no way now because Anderson seemed to have his plans.


    It would depend on whether his plan this time would succeed.


    On the other side, a few special forces soldiers were still staring blankly at the G7 electromagnetic sniper rifle.


    After all, Dr. Anderson might not be able to research such a weapon in the future.


    When they thought of this, their hearts ached.


    They even thought that it was because of their small actions just now.


    Now, the few of them had their hearts set on talking to Anderson.


    As captain of the elite team, Antonio took a deep breath and suddenly walked to Anderson¡¯s side.


    This action immediately frightened everyone around him.


    ¡°Antonio, what are you trying to do?¡± the professors shouted loudly. Some of them had already rushed to Anderson¡¯s side to protect him.


    After all, one of the reasons they came here was to rope Anderson into Japan¡¯s own scientific team and Antonio was the person they brought with them.


    If anything happened, it might trigger a war between the two countries.


    Right now, Anderson was not an unknown heir to an arms dealer.


    What Anderson developed could have a huge impact on the entire world.


    This was the strength of a top scientist and also represented his identity.


    Soon, Antonio was stopped by a group of people.


    He looked at the professors in front of him helplessly, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.


    He remembered that the mission of the five special forces soldiers was to protect this group of professors.


    But now, the awkward thing was that the professors were actually going to protect someone from another country?


    ¡°professor, I don¡¯t want to do anything to Dr. Anderson. I just want to ask you for one thing. Can you develop a few more G7 electromagnetic sniper rifles? No matter how much it costs, we are willing to buy them!¡± Antonio said sincerely.


    At this time, when Anderson heard his words, he smiled and said, ¡°Although I¡¯m not going to study the G7, I can let other researchers continue my research. Perhaps the progress will be much slower than mine. After all, the gun that you just shot was developed by us, regardless of the cost. We used a lot of materials and even had to create our own, like the titanium alloy.


    ¡°When the time comes, the officially released weapon will definitely be inferior to this gun in terms of materials. But don¡¯t worry, the feel of the gun will be the same as this G7. It might be a little weaker in power and range but no matter what, it will definitely be much stronger than your current weapons.¡±


    After Anderson¡¯s explanation, the special forces soldiers immediately felt relieved. Although they could not have a top-notch G7, they were very satisfied to have a normal version of the G7 electromagnetic sniper rifle.


    However, when they thought that the G7 would not be studied by Anderson, they might have to spend a few years studying other cheap replacement materials.


    All of this would require more waiting time.


    In this world, no one could distort the will of scientists.


    Therefore, they could not ask for more.


    Antonio also thought it through, nodded, and said, ¡°Okay, we understand.. Thank you, professor!¡±

 Chapter 38

    Seeing this scene, the professors finally understood what was going on.


    Everyone immediately heaved a sigh of relief.


    They also roughly understood Anderson¡¯s thoughts on this weapon.


    Although Anderson had other plans, this plan should at least have a sequence.


    A weapon that could change the entire battlefield should be thrown aside just like that? Just for him to run off and study something brand new in a different field?


    Thinking of this, various expressions appeared on the faces of the professors.


    Because they didn¡¯t understand such a method, they had felt that neglecting such research was a pity.


    However, this was the idea of a genius!


    The professors looked at Anderson with helpless and sad expressions on their faces.


    However, they had also been able to gain a lot from their profession. Not only were they able to see artificial intelligence, but they were also able to see such a technological weapon.


    Moreover, in the plan that Anderson had just mentioned, he seemed to have developed a new material?


    This once again aroused the crowd¡¯s curiosity.


    Titanium alloy?


    This seemed to be the name of the document in Anderson¡¯s list?


    At this moment, the professors immediately began to think.


    It turned out that when they were visiting, they had already seen that Anderson¡¯s laboratory was carrying out such activities.


    However, they did not have the opportunity to go in and take a look.


    But now, Anderson had said it himself.


    This made them think of a possibility. Should they discuss with Anderson and go to his laboratory to take a look?


    Perhaps they would see more things and be even more pleasantly surprised!


    ¡°Anderson, we have already completed the test of the G7 electromagnetic sniper rifle. Now that we have nothing else to do, we would like to go to your laboratory and take a look. Would that be alright?¡± Ryan looked at Anderson and asked sincerely.


    After all, although he was much older than Anderson, age meant nothing in their community.


    In this world where science and technology were respected, whoever had the most achievements and scientific achievements would have the most weight in their words.


    And now, Anderson¡¯s identity was definitely inferior to Ryan, down to what technology he had discovered and created.


    However, Ryan¡¯s attitude was only because he valued Anderson¡¯s contributions in the future.


    He had a feeling that in the future, Anderson¡¯s achievements would definitely surpass him.


    There was no harm in having a good relationship with Anderson in advance.


    Hearing Ryan¡¯s request, Anderson thought for a few seconds and replied, ¡°You want to go to my lab? That sounds good to me.¡±


    The reason why Anderson was able to agree to Ryan¡¯s request so quickly was due to the fact that the other party had come after great difficulty.


    Moreover, President Joseph had previously talked to him about it. Anderson himself wanted to pay a little attention to the technological team from Japan that had come this time.


    Not only were they the most powerful scientific research organization in Japan, but they were also part of the Science & Technology Association. In a sense, they were also on the same side.


    ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter if you reveal information to them or not.¡±


    That was what Joseph told Anderson at the time.


    But what Joseph didn¡¯t expect was that Anderson didn¡¯t care at all.


    Anderson let Professor Ryan and the others test the data.


    Something like that didn¡¯t matter to Anderson. They couldn¡¯t figure it out by themselves even if they tried.


    That was because he had other more important things to do. He was about to achieve some of the functions of the iron suit he had in mind.


    The others naturally did not know what Anderson was thinking.


    At this moment, after getting Anderson¡¯s consent, they looked at each other with disbelief in their eyes.


    ¡°Anderson, you truly are a scholar!¡± Ryan praised.


    When they saw Anderson hesitating just now, they already felt that he would definitely not agree to this matter.


    If they were the ones who developed a new technology, they definitely wouldn¡¯t allow others to enter the laboratory to watch it. What if the results were stolen¡­


    However, after thinking about it, Anderson really agreed with them!


    Such a young kid was actually willing to share his technology.


    In comparison, they weren¡¯t as open as a young man who wasn¡¯t even 20 years old!


    At this moment, the other professors looked at Anderson with admiration and a little shame.


    ¡°Anderson, shall we go now?¡± Ryan asked tentatively.


    ¡°Yes, we should.¡± Anderson nodded.


    ¡­


    Soon, Anderson and the professors got into the car again and drove toward Hyman Technology¡¯s base.


    Halfway through the journey, Anderson¡¯s phone suddenly rang.


    ¡°Dr. Anderson, it¡¯s Tom. The mechanical gauntlet has been completed. You can come back and check it. The President and Dr. William are waiting for you!¡±


    Hearing Tom¡¯s excited voice, Anderson¡¯s heart was also burning.


    After about a month, they were finally about to witness a miracle!


    ¡°Okay, Tom. Five minutes. I¡¯ll be right there!¡±


    After getting an answer from Anderson, Tom hung up the phone.


    At this time, Professor Ryan, who was sitting next to Anderson, also heard Tom¡¯s excited voice. This immediately aroused his curiosity.


    ¡°Can the mechanical gauntlet, artificial intelligence, and electromagnetic weapons really be assembled together?¡± Professor Ryan stared at Anderson, eager to know the answer.


    ¡°The preliminary design has been completed!¡± Anderson answered with a smile.


    ¡°This¡­¡± Professor Ryan was shocked speechless.


    ¡°Actually, it hasn¡¯t been fully realized. Because of the energy, even if the electromagnetic weapons are installed on the mechanical gauntlet now, it¡¯s only a single arm. Without sufficient energy supply, it can only shoot out one electromagnetic pulse at most.¡± Anderson recalled his own design and analysis.


    ¡°If that¡¯s the case, why did you add such an extra function?¡± Ryan asked, puzzled.


    After all, it was meaningless for a one-time use weapon to be unable to continuously output energy.


    Forcibly configuring a complicated function would increase the difficulty of the experiment for nothing. It might even cause the entire scientific research to fail due to this reason.


    But no matter what Anderson designed, it was Anderson¡¯s idea. They were not in a position to judge.


    Anderson saw Ryan¡¯s expression and knew what he was thinking.


    However, the electromagnetic pulse was not an insignificant function.


    Although it could only emit one energy pulse now, which seemed a bit cumbersome, it was because the controllable nuclear fusion reactor had not been built yet.


    But sooner or later, Anderson would have to work on all of these technologies.


    For now, he was just preparing for the future..

 Chapter 39

    A confident smile appeared on Anderson¡¯s face again.


    When Ryan saw this smile, he was a little dazed.


    This was the third time he had seen this smile.


    The first time was to demonstrate artificial intelligence, the second was during the G7 electromagnetic sniper rifle¡¯s demonstration, and the third time was now¡ªdemonstrating the core technology of the first two technologies combined with his newly developed titanium alloy material.


    This was a more dangerous technological peak than the previous two.


    Why was this young man so confident that he could climb it again and again?


    Professor Ryan turned his head to look out of the car window, his eyes tired and expectant.


    Perhaps the world was about to usher in a technological explosion because of Anderson.


    Maybe these old-timers were about to be abandoned by the times.


    They could no longer understand the new technology.


    However, they were still very lucky.


    As a scientist, being able to witness such a thing made life extremely worth it.


    However, Professor Ryan suddenly felt somewhat dissatisfied.


    Because compared to standing by and witnessing it, he wanted to experience it personally.


    Therefore, he could not use his previous vision and knowledge to understand these new technologies. He had to start learning new things!


    ¡°What if you don¡¯t know?¡±


    ¡°If you don¡¯t know, then ask!¡±


    Ryan recalled that afternoon. His mentor had told him so.


    He turned to look at Anderson and said, ¡°I have some understanding of the technology of battle armor. Currently, there are basically two research directions in the world regarding this.


    ¡°The first direction is mechanical armed battle armor. It relies on mechanical force, which is a variety of exquisite mechanical structures. It allows the soldiers who are equipped with battle armor to provide support force so that they can lift heavy weapons more easily. They also have a high resistance to recoil force, and their defense is different according to the different materials.


    ¡°The advantage of this type of mechanical armor is that it doesn¡¯t need electricity and can be used continuously. However, its weight can cause one to be rather clumsy.


    ¡°The second direction is the energy-powered battle armor. This type of armor uses electricity to provide energy for the entire set of battle armor to function. Compared to the first example, this type of armor is very obvious in terms of strength for the soldiers because without those mechanical parts, their speed would increase.


    ¡°However, the weakness of energy-armed warframes is also very obvious. Once the energy is used up, it will become a pile of scrap metal. Moreover, once there is an accident in battle, the circuit system will report an error and so on. The risk of using it is very high.


    ¡°So Anderson, I want to know which direction you are studying for this armor that you have designed.¡±


    After analyzing it seriously, Ryan looked at Anderson with curiosity in his eyes.


    Anderson glanced at Ryan. He felt that the old man¡¯s attitude toward him had changed slightly.


    However, Anderson had seen a lot of such things this month.


    Whenever someone wanted to join his team, they would use this form of questioning to get close to him and try to prove their ability.


    Jack and Tom had already rejected many people for him.


    However, if it was Professor Ryan, he could consider it.


    Anderson thought for a moment and began to explain his research direction.


    ¡°Professor Ryan, the armor that I¡¯m researching is actually not much different from the other two. But the reason why I¡¯m so confident is because artificial intelligence is equivalent to an armed system.


    ¡°Just like you said, the current world¡¯s armed systems are actually only energy and non-energy, and the one I¡¯m researching includes two types. I¡¯ve roughly divided this set of armor into the head, torso, and limbs. I¡¯ll set the type of armor according to the different parts


    ¡°To sum it up, it¡¯s mainly based on energy and supported by machinery. The AI chip is equivalent to the brain of the entire armor. In order to bring the AI to the extreme, I developed a titanium alloy¡­¡±

    Three minutes later.


    Anderson explained the basic direction of his design to Ryan bit by bit.


    At this moment, after listening to Anderson¡¯s idea, Professor Ryan was already in a daze because Anderson¡¯s design was too detailed and complicated.


    At the end of Anderson¡¯s speech, he even mentioned the need to increase the waterproof function, the drying function, and the oxygen supply function.


    He had only designed one arm and the other parts had not been specifically made yet, but he was already thinking about the next thing?


    The waterproof function was to go into the sea to carry out a mission?


    This was too ridiculous. Who would wear armor to the sea?


    The heating and drying function was to disperse the water vapor and prevent colds. It could be considered as a tie-in to the waterproof function.


    But the most unacceptable thing to Ryan was the oxygen supply function!


    Could it be that Anderson wanted the soldiers to wear armor to the plateau area?


    It couldn¡¯t be that he wanted the soldiers to wear armor to outer space, right?


    It was impossible!


    The more and more ridiculous ideas behind Anderson¡¯s technology made Ryan wonder if he shouldn¡¯t have asked him this question.


    However, Anderson was very serious when he analyzed it with him and it didn¡¯t seem like he was joking.


    Ryan opened the window, took a deep breath of fresh air, and calmed his heart.


    He began to think in the opposite direction, following the train of thought that Anderson had just described.


    Regardless of the ridiculous ideas that Anderson had mentioned, there was definitely no problem with Anderson¡¯s design.


    If he wanted to achieve such a level, what else would his design need?


    Ryan slowly closed his eyes and began to speculate in his mind.


    After he straightened it out, he suddenly felt that everything was very complete but there was still one thing missing.


    A very important thing!


    Because the design was too complicated, each part had a different division of labor, so he did not know which part the device was and what was missing.


    Time gradually passed.


    Finally, five cars stopped at the door of the laboratory.


    At this time, Joseph, his assistant Tom, and William were already waiting at the door.


    ¡°Anderson, you¡¯re finally back!¡± William waved his arm excitedly.


    He couldn¡¯t wait to know how Anderson had designed the warframe.


    Anderson smiled and nodded, then the group of people quickly walked toward the laboratory.


    Joseph signaled to Anderson with his eyes, hinting that if some of the content was more important, it was best not to reveal it.


    If Joseph had known, Anderson would have explained all his technology to Ryan.


    He wouldn¡¯t have let his student Jack follow Anderson and would have kept an eye on him.


    Joseph wouldn¡¯t have thought of that.


    However, Anderson didn¡¯t care if his technology was exposed!

 Chapter 40

    In the laboratory.


    At this moment, all the professors stood quietly on the side, like students waiting to listen to a lecture.


    Under everyone¡¯s gaze, Anderson sat on the chair, opened his laptop, and pulled out a design blueprint.


    Then, he projected the design blueprint onto a screen for all of them to look at.


    Anderson stood up and glanced at everyone. He cleared his throat, looked at his own design blueprint, and began to explain. ¡°This is my design concept. I¡¯ve named it the iron suit. In essence, it¡¯s no different from normal armor. This armor is roughly divided into the head, torso, and limbs.¡±


    At this moment, everyone was dumbfounded when they saw the picture that Anderson released.


    This was because this design no longer looked like armed battle armor, but more like a transformation mech that only appeared in sci-fi movies!


    This was something that was completely out of reality!


    Was this still called being no different from ordinary battle armor?


    However, they had a rough understanding of Anderson¡¯s personality.


    This was probably what Anderson was really thinking.


    Looking at the design drawing, everyone was speechless. They didn¡¯t know how to evaluate such a high-end thing.


    It was also the first time Joseph and William saw this design drawing.


    They had come to Anderson¡¯s laboratory quite a few times but the most they saw was a semi-finished arm part. They didn¡¯t expect the overall appearance of the iron suit to be so complicated and sci-fi looking.


    ¡°William, what do you think?¡± Joseph asked.


    William¡¯s gaze was fixed on the design that was filled with important formula data. He sighed slowly and said, ¡°I don¡¯t understand¡­¡±


    The two of them smiled helplessly and subconsciously looked in Professor Ryan¡¯s direction.


    After all, only the three of them in the entire lab could understand this design.


    However, since the two of them couldn¡¯t understand it, Ryan definitely couldn¡¯t understand it either.


    At this moment, Professor Ryan looked at the design drawing seriously as if he was looking for an answer.


    His appearance immediately surprised Joseph and William.


    Ryan could actually understand it?


    The two of them looked at each other in disbelief.


    They didn¡¯t expect that Ryan¡¯s understanding of new technology was actually better than theirs.


    After reading through the entire design blueprint, Ryan focused his gaze on the center of the iron suit. Three seconds later, his face kept trembling as he began to look more and more excited.


    ¡°I know, I know what¡¯s missing,¡± Professor Ryan muttered to himself.


    At this moment, all the professors were immediately attracted by him and looked at him curiously.


    Joseph and William couldn¡¯t wait to know what Ryan had seen.


    Ryan didn¡¯t care about the crowd¡¯s reactions. He turned his head and looked at Anderson. ¡°Anderson, I have a question. If you want to achieve all this, where is your core energy drive?¡±


    Hearing Ryan¡¯s question, an inexplicable smile appeared on Anderson¡¯s face.


    Everyone else¡¯s thoughts were also detached from this complicated design manuscript.


    They understood where the focus of this armor set was.


    The focus was not on these designs, it was on the energy drive!


    ¡°Of course, energy is also in my future plans,¡± Anderson replied with a smile.


    Seeing Anderson¡¯s signature smile, the hearts of all the professors in the laboratory trembled.


    How could they not understand? This kid had a big plan from the start.


    However, they didn¡¯t expect that Anderson¡¯s plan included energy!


    Now that the world was vigorously developing technology, all kinds of resources were in short supply.


    Every year, a large number of experimental bases were interrupted halfway due to the lack of resources and energy.


    In the end, they had no choice but to be annexed by other experimental bases in order to make way for bigger and better things.


    And now, Anderson was actually going to break into the research of energy?


    Suddenly, everyone could not help but think that Anderson seemed to have unknowingly developed a new resource¡ªtitanium alloy.


    After researching materials, he was still planning to develop new energy?


    Joseph and William smiled helplessly.


    Although Anderson had told them that artificial intelligence was only the beginning, they only nodded their heads in encouragement.


    After all, even if Anderson was a rare genius, he still needed time to understand and learn before he could finally start researching and experimenting.


    There was definitely a process.


    Therefore, they did not take these things to heart.


    However, they realized that they had still underestimated Anderson.


    It seemed that there was nothing in this world that could stop Anderson. Even if it was time, it had to make way for Anderson.


    This was no longer a genius.


    This was scientific imagination and scientific wisdom that surpassed humans and came from a higher dimension!


    William looked at Joseph with an emotional expression and said, ¡°I knew that this kid would definitely give me a surprise! I didn¡¯t expect that he would actually do so many things in a month¡¯s time and even plan so many things. It¡¯s simply unimaginable.¡±


    Hearing William¡¯s emotional expression, Joseph nodded his head with the same feeling.


    ¡°The wisdom of mortals is unable to imagine all of this. Perhaps this is because of the God of Science & Technology¡¯s guidance!¡±


    They had painstakingly researched for decades but if they let Anderson do the research, perhaps they could really do it in a month¡¯s time.


    If it was in the past, they would definitely not dare to think this way.


    But since Anderson¡¯s appearance¡­


    After all, he was someone who could no longer be explained by common sense.


    When Anderson saw that everyone had fallen into silence, he coughed slightly and pulled everyone¡¯s thoughts back.


    ¡°I know that everyone is unable to understand these things for the time being. However, it doesn¡¯t matter. Because these things are just a plan. The part of the weapon is closely related to energy. I can¡¯t do this now. It¡¯s just a conceptual thing that has yet to be realized.¡±


    At this point, Anderson paused. Seeing that the expressions of the professors had returned to normal, he continued to talk about the mechanical gauntlet and artificial intelligence. These were the functions that could be implemented first.


    These parts were finally in the area that the professors had some understanding of. Thus, the professors all revealed confident smiles.


    In the laboratory, the heated discussion grew more and more.


    Seeing this, Joseph, William, and Ryan lost interest in the discussion. The three of them nodded tacitly, obviously wanting to say something.


    As such, the three of them silently left the room and walked to the small conference room next door. At the same time, they called for Anderson..
