Chapter 1524 Emergency Meeting

It has been a week since Captain Xing was given the password last time.

These days, Lu Zhou has been waiting for Xing Bian to give himself an answer, especially about what the password is used for, but there is no news.

But what is interesting is that although there was no news from the Security Bureau, good news from East Asia Electric Power came one after another.

The first is over there at the Electromagnet Research Laboratory.

Director Tang lived up to his expectations. After slightly improving his A1 type pulsed magnetic field generating device, he designed it into a facility with a total area of ​​about 4 mu, which can form an instantaneous magnetic field of 10000-20000T Tesla in the central area. Magnetic generating device.

At the same time, the construction team on the moon has also started construction on the foundation.

No matter how perfect the theoretical model is, it is just talk on paper if it has not been tested in practice.

However, Lu Zhou is still full of confidence in completing his plan.

Most of the problems faced by the second-generation controllable fusion are advanced versions of the bottlenecks faced by the first-generation controllable fusion. As long as the most critical magnetic field can be solved, the others are not a problem at all.

Like starting a fire.

After reviewing a large number of documents, Lu Zhou has designed a laser ignition array that can be used for core ignition in the past few days.

Although there is still a lack of experimental tests, as far as he feels, there should be no major problems.

In this way, the last few days of February were passed quietly. On the first day of March, Li Guangya suddenly called him and told him that the procedures for taking office had been completed.

From now on, Lu Zhou's identity is no longer just an academician of the Huaguo Academy of Sciences, but also the chief scientific development consultant of the Pan-Asian Cooperation Science and Technology Department.

In terms of rank, he is probably the second-in-command of the entire Pan-Asian Cooperation Science and Technology Department.

"This is the academic center of Pan-Asian cooperation."

"At best, it can only be regarded as the center of power in the academic world." Lu Zhou glanced around and said casually, "I didn't see scholars, only bureaucrats."

"You seem to have a prejudice against people in administrative positions," Li Guangya shrugged, "Okay, then make a correction as you wish, this is the power center of the pan-Asian cooperative academia, and now you are only one step away from reaching the apex." One step short."

"Oh, yes."

Li Guangya smiled and said, "Of course, besides the Minister of Science and Technology, you are the highest in rank."

Lu Zhou: "Unfortunately, I'm not very interested in power."

"Anyway, let me introduce your colleague to you first...he just happened to be here," Li Guangya said with a smile as he looked at the middle-aged man walking towards him, "this is Xue Rui, the Minister of Science and Technology. .”

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Academician Lu. I only saw your name in textbooks before. I didn't expect to be able to work with you one day. Thanks to the power of technology." Smiling and stretching out his right hand, Minister Xue enthusiastically shook Lu Zhou Shaking his hand up and down, he continued, "There is just a meeting in a while, it would be great if you could come together, we hope to borrow your wisdom."

"What meeting?"

Minister Xue smiled slightly and said.

"Let's talk as we go."

...

The meeting has not yet started, and many people are already seated in the spacious conference room.

Academician Wang, who was sitting at the banquet, glanced at his watch and suddenly said softly.

"This is my second time here."

After waiting quietly for a while, but did not hear the following, Yang Wu who was sitting next to him asked casually.

"so?"

"No, it's just a little nostalgic," Academician Wang continued with a flash of memory in his eyes, "About 20 years ago, when I was still working at the Shanghai Computer Research Institute, I was fighting against the 'locusts' that swept across the country. , My mentor and I were summoned here for a meeting."

The so-called locusts here are naturally not locusts in nature, but a computer virus code-named locust. This virus is specifically aimed at cloud server attacks, and has caused a considerable threat to the virtual reality network and maglev road network of Pan-Asia Cooperation.

Fortunately, both the early warning and the convening of the emergency meeting of the virus can be described as a textbook-level speed, and it hardly caused any substantial loss to the life and property safety of the Pan-Asian people.

This time, however, is different.

Different from previous network security crises, the Alpha virus this time is not only global, but also far beyond the comparison of ordinary computer viruses in terms of danger and concealment quality.

The most important thing is that Wang Sicheng is not even sure whether it is human beings who created this virus, or something other than human beings...

"If possible, I hope this is the last time I will come here in this life," Academician Wang Sicheng glanced at his watch again, and said with a slight sigh, "It's about to start."

With everyone's quiet waiting, the meeting started.

Minister Xue who came to the front of the stage read out the outline of the meeting, and then sat down.

Yang Wu noticed that the person sitting next to Minister Xue looked familiar. After looking carefully for a while, a look of surprise appeared in his eyes.

Chief Adviser for Scientific Development... Lu Zhou?

He had only been to the front line for less than half a month, but once he came back, Academician Lu has already become the chief adviser of scientific development.

"Everyone is a top expert in the field of information engineering and scientific research. I have called you here this time, and I hope that you can provide some valuable opinions."

"Especially regarding how to deal with the quantum computer array on Ceres, the limited clues indicate that this undecipherable computer program is running on it, and part of the core code is highly similar to the Alpha virus."

The moment the voice fell, the conference room was crowded with people, and expressions of surprise and shock appeared on the faces of all the experts.

Looking at the commotion in the venue, Minister Xue paused and continued.

"You can put forward any good ideas, and I hope everyone can express their opinions."

"There is nothing to say, obviously that supercomputing center is the source of the virus!" A scholar stood up and said fiercely, "Alpha virus has a strong ability to evolve, and it is very likely that this evolution happened in the It was completed with the support of this supercomputing center. Regardless of whether it is an extraterrestrial civilization or the KB organization that built this supercomputing center, physically eradicating it is always the best option!"

This proposal aroused the approval of many people.

Whatever the secrets of that computer, it would not be wise to reveal it and risk drawing the world into a fire pit.

After hearing these words, Minister Xue nodded thoughtfully and fell into deep thought.

The meeting room was noisy.

At this time, a gray-haired scholar raised his hand and raised a different opinion.

"If that supercomputing center is the source of the Alpha virus, I don't recommend destroying it immediately. This may be the only clue we have so far. My intuition tells me that if we want to figure out how to solve the Alpha virus, we must figure it out. What are you calculating?"

Another scholar nodded and said, "My opinion is the same. Even if the entire Ceres is blown up, it will not change what has happened. If we take a step back, even if we finally decide to destroy it, the hardware is innocent. This supercomputing center is probably the largest quantum computer array in the entire solar system, if it is used for scientific research, it will be of great help to us!"

The person who previously proposed to destroy the quantum computer array sneered and said: "For scientific research? It's ridiculous! Which research institute dares to use such dangerous experimental equipment?"

"As long as its data is cleared, it is safe, at least to a certain extent. Why can't it be used? Scientific research itself is full of risks, and even if we don't need all of it, we can dismantle it and use it. Parts!"

Seeing the meeting room caught in quarrels, Minister Xue couldn't help feeling a little headache, and looked sideways at Lu Zhou, trying to see the change on his face.

To his disappointment, however, he saw nothing but a deadpan expression.

I remember at this time, a moderate cough suddenly came from the meeting room, which calmed down the quarrel a bit.

"Let me say a few words."

Pushing away the chair and standing up, Yang Wu from the Pan-Asia First Fleet looked around the conference room and said.

"Based on the clues we have so far, the supercomputing center should be built artificially, and there is a high probability that it is an important clue related to the Alpha virus. Our fleet does not recommend destroying it... although it is easy to do so."

"As to what to do with that computer and the calculations it was executing..."

"I would like to hear the opinion of the General Counsel for Scientific Development."
