【(˶´﹃`˵)】

Floating around the land boat, the drone controlled by Xiao Ai swayed up and down, left and right, and turned in circles.

Lu Zhou speculated that this strange posture was probably a unique way of coquettishness by artificial intellectual retardation, but it was really a bit hardcore and difficult to understand.

Looking at Xiao Ai who was making noise next to him, Lu Zhou coughed lightly and said.

"Don't make a fuss, I'll study how this thing works first."

It's not a toy for children, it's probably the only commercial quantum computer in the world that can be used in the industrial realm in the true sense of the word, not the kind of laboratory experiment that has just surpassed the early classical computers.

If this is broken, not to mention that he can't afford this loss, human civilization can't afford it!

Xiao Ai: [Yes, but the master...... I'm afraid you've spoiled it! QAQ】

"How is that possible!"

As soon as this sentence came out, Lu Zhou suddenly realized that this broken system didn't even give him a booklet with instructions for use, so after being embarrassed for a few seconds, he coughed lightly and asked, "...... Would you use this thing? ”

Xiao Ai: [No! But once I let me in, it will definitely be! 0v0】

Xiao Ai: [Moreover, you can also save the step of installing the system!] 0v0】

Is it so awesome?

Seeing that Xiao Ai was so confident, Lu Zhou thought about it seriously for a while, and finally made a decision.

"Then please."

Informatics is not his forte.

Although he has improved the level of informatics, the subject level is not equal to the knowledge reserve, it only determines the speed of acceptance of knowledge in the field and a very abstract analysis ability, if he does not spend a lot of time studying, his current programming skills are actually no different from the level of undergraduate.

It's okay to write some small programs, but in a frontier field like quantum computers......

If you don't work hard, I'm afraid it's hard to even touch the door.

Xiao Ai: [Leave it to me!] (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧】

Almost as soon as this line of text flashed from the screen, the VGA logistics vehicle crawling next to it and the mechanical arm on the wall moved.

First, the chassis was moved from the central open space of the laboratory to the edge of the wall, and then the robotic arm connected to the wall went up and down, and after identifying the various power cables and power conversion interfaces supporting the chassis, it was quickly connected to the correct position.

Lu Zhou's heart was shocked when he saw the operation, and he was afraid that this guy would break his "new computer".

But fortunately, what he feared did not happen.

For his new home, Xiao Ai is obviously much more cautious than him, and after installing the chassis, he even freed his "hands" to use tools to tailor a cooling rack with a water-cooled air cooling system for this chassis, and then carefully put the chassis on it.

Xiao Ai: [Master, master, the installation is complete!] The time to witness the miracle is coming~φ(≧ω≦*)♪]

Lu Zhou: "Don't talk nonsense, turn on the machine quickly." ”

The signal light on the chassis flashed for a while, and the connected screen quickly lit up.

However, the screen was lit up, but it was dark and there was no movement.

Staring at the pitch-black screen, if it weren't for the text box cursor jumping in the upper left corner, Lu Zhou would not even think that this thing was dead.

After continuing to be silent for a while, Lu Zhou looked at the drone floating next to him and asked.

“…… That's it? ”

Ai: [Huh? It's already been done, huh? 0v0】

Lu Zhou: "...... Don't have a desktop? ”

Xiao Ai: [But this is originally a command-line operating system...... Of course, I can also design a graphical operating system for the owner if he or she needs it...... Wait, Xiao Ai suddenly felt that a flood of power was pouring outΣ(°△°|||) ︴】

The words flickering on the screen suddenly stopped, Lu Zhou was slightly stunned, and then hurriedly asked.

“…… What happened to you? ”

"Xiao Ai!"

At the moment when the words fell, the chassis of the quantum computer suddenly emitted a blue light.

Looking at this shocking scene, Lu Zhou's eyes couldn't help but widen, but he soon realized that the light did not come from the quantum computer, but from the illusion in his field of vision......

Or rather, the system.

In less than half a second, a translucent dialog box popped up from his field of view.

[Congratulations to the host, the "artificial intelligence" branch technology has been upgraded. 】

[Current Level: LV3]

A branch of "artificial intelligence"!

Upgraded here!

Lu Zhou's heart was excited.

The last time he was promoted seemed to be when he had just returned from Princeton, although he also moved Xiao Ai once later, but that time it didn't seem to meet the conditions for the upgrade.

However, LV3 can only be upgraded by a quantum computer!

This upgrade condition is too harsh, right?

Stretching out your index finger and dotting on the translucent dialog, the collapsed dialog box soon expands downwards to list the requirements for advancing to LV4.

[Upgrade Condition: Collect enough data from human social behavior.] 】

The upgrade conditions of LV4 do not seem to continue to improve computing power, which also makes Lu Zhou really relieved.

This is already a quantum computer sent by a higher civilization, if he is asked to move Xiao Ai to a new house, even if he really gets the quantum computer technology out, I am afraid it will be impossible to find a "bigger house" in the short term.

It's just that this "collecting enough data from human social behavior" is too abstract, isn't it?

Is it enough to register a few social accounts, watch the sand sculpture group members pour water and blow it, and then quietly hang up and wait for the reading note?

Looking at the empty progress bar, Lu Zhou couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

At this moment, Xiao Ai, who had been silent for a long time, finally reacted, and the drone parked in mid-air swayed left and right and floated in front of Lu Zhou.

Xiao Ai: [Master, I'm alright.] (✿◡‿◡)】

Stretching out his hand and slashing in mid-air, dispersing the translucent dialog box, Lu Zhou looked at Xiao Ai with a "shy" face, and asked.

“…… How do you feel after upgrading? Has anything changed? ”

Xiao Ai: [I feel like I'm getting smarter!] (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧】

Lu Zhou: "......"

I don't know if it's his delusion.

He always felt ......

It seems like a bit of a loss to take such a good thing to upgrade this guy?

……

Because it could not be disassembled, Lu Zhou's enthusiasm for this "surpassing" X-1 quantum computer suddenly decreased by half, and after throwing it to Xiao Ai to tinker, he quit the laboratory and took the elevator directly to the dean's office on the top floor.

Sitting at the desk, thinking that it would be better to deal with the backlog of documents when he came here, so Lu Zhou dug out the materials submitted by various research institutions below from the filing cabinet this month.

Just as he was about to go through them one by one, there was a knock at the door of his office.

Closing the document in his hand, Lu Zhou temporarily threw it on the corner of the table.

"Come in."

With an excited expression on his face, Yang Xu, director of the Institute of Computational Materials, pushed open the door and walked in.

Seeing Yang Xu with an excited face, Lu Zhou was slightly stunned for a moment, and then asked with a smile.

"What good news excites you?"

"That's great news, of course!" Walking quickly to Lu Zhou's desk, Yang Xu laughed, and put the report in his hand on Lu Zhou's desk excitedly, "Do you remember the carbon-based chip project we set up two years ago?" ”

Lu Zhou's heart moved slightly, and he immediately sat up straight from the office chair.

"Got a result?"

"It's not just a result...... Looking at Lu Zhou, Yang Xu took a deep breath and said excitedly, "We've already done it!" ”
