Chapter 492: Supercomputer and AI (Part 1)

"I'm back!"

After saying this to the villa's indoor visual intercom, Sun Cheng didn't care whether Ye Qi had noticed or not, and walked straight into his study, carrying the laptop that Revenge had transformed into.

After locking the door behind him, he inserted the USB flash drive that AI-001 had transformed into into the interface of the laptop that Revenge had transformed into.

Instantly, lines of data began to appear on the screen, jumping continuously and being read rapidly.

"How long will the data reading take? Revenge..."

"Two minutes... The information stolen by AI-001 is extremely complex. If it is not organized, it will affect Master's normal reading!"

"Understood!"

Upon hearing this, Sun Cheng was no longer in a hurry. He reached into his inner pocket, took out Xiao Wu, the miniature Decepticon disguised as an Apple phone, and placed it in front of him.

"Xiao Wu, project the virtual interface!"

As his voice fell, a beam of light was immediately projected from the light screen in front of him, instantly forming a light screen of about 40 inches in front of Sun Cheng.

Apart from one icon, almost nothing else could be seen on the light screen.

Sun Cheng didn't find it strange, because there were only two situations in which he would use Xiao Wu; making calls or sending messages didn't require Xiao Wu to project a screen at all, and the only reason he would need to use it was to watch Ye Qi's live stream.

Because it wasn't his first time using Xiao Wu to watch her live stream, it had specifically reserved a shortcut icon shaped like a 'Yuegui Tree' on the projected light screen, although it was useless anyway.

"... Open the live stream..."

He ordered calmly. The next moment, the only icon on the light screen projected by Xiao Wu seemed to have been clicked, and a live streaming website popped up rapidly; it was 'Yuegui Network', one of the major live streaming platforms in the country.

And on the screen projected by Xiao Wu, it did not appear directly on the homepage of Yuegui Network, nor could a single advertisement be seen; instead, it linked directly into a live streaming room.

Looking at the figure on the screen, which occupied nearly half of the interface and was singing with abandon—a figure so familiar to him that it couldn't be more familiar—Sun Cheng narrowed his eyes in enjoyment, though his eyes were cold.

Regarding live streaming, a new form of entertainment that had exploded in popularity in China and even across the world in recent years, he had always had some resistance toward it.

However, Sun Cheng had the right to dislike it, but he did not have the right to influence others' preferences.

In this era of the attention economy, "the general's lonely grave goes unasked, while the actor's family affairs are known to the world" had long since become the norm.

One could not blame it on "the decline of human morality" or "the degeneration of social mores." To speak on a grander level, it could be said that the national mainstream media did not attach importance to value guidance.

But the reason an atmosphere of entertainment-first appeared was simply because as economic conditions improved and material needs were satisfied, the general public was using their feet to choose the spiritual enjoyment they needed more.

When he was in the 【Transformers Great Universe】, after reading some psychology and sociology books during his spare time, Sun Cheng had a brand-new understanding of this phenomenon.

There are many smart people in the world, but there are even more ordinary people with mediocre aptitude. Some are unwilling to be mediocre and can eventually leap over the dragon gate to change their family and fate through year after year of study.

But the vast majority of ordinary people, and even some smart people, would become lazy and give up on further progress after encountering a bottleneck or achieving certain results.

Their future and prospects were destined to be mediocre from the moment they gave up, so naturally, they had plenty of time that should have been spent on learning and self-improvement to squander.

The live streaming platform was a more realistic vanity fair, a low-threshold entertainment circle. It allowed those who possessed the looks, singing voices, and eloquence that others dreamed of—especially handsome men and beautiful women—to become famous quickly, gain the adoration of thousands, and thus achieve both fame and fortune.

The audience gained entertainment, the wealthy patrons gained satisfaction and handsome men or beautiful women, the streamers gained fame and status, and the platform gained performance; it could be considered a relatively successful business model in the internet industry.

His gaze could not help but fall on the screen, on the stunningly beautiful woman who made him dream of her day and night. Sun Cheng's heart was colder than his eyes.

Ye Qi was the motivation that supported him in his struggle in the 【Transformers Great Universe】; she was also the only thing he could not let go of.

Sun Cheng, who was becoming increasingly accustomed to the survival mode of Mechanical Life, had more than once had the thought of never returning.

Therefore, it was impossible and he would absolutely never let anything happen to Ye Qi, or sit by and watch her suitors appear. Keeping her in Nandu, keeping her by his side, was only the first step.

"... The young lady is truly beautiful, and her singing voice is so good. I love it so much..."

"The streamer is my wife, I don't accept any rebuttals!"

"The guy above, you're dreaming! She's clearly my wife!"

Glancing sideways at the audience's bullet comments in the live stream, Sun Cheng couldn't help but feel a surge of killing intent in his heart.

He still remembered that the last time Ye Qi came to Nandu, she was accompanied by a friend of hers who also did live streaming—Chen Lan. At that time, Chen Lan seemed to have come to Nandu to meet with a wealthy patron from her donation leaderboard; she seemed to have already been conquered by money.

On the internet, there was certainly no shortage of powerful figures and wealthy men chasing after Ye Qi, just like Chen Lan's financial backer.

Thinking of this, he knew he had to do something to take precautions.

"Yuegui Network... I remember Panda made a venture capital investment last year, right... Was it the B-round or C-round... A live streaming platform is actually a good promotional channel. I can let them add a technology section and raise some technical streamers for product appreciation and reviews..."

Sun Cheng had previously considered letting Ye Qi come to his company to help, but she had refused.

He knew Ye Qi too well; after all, they had lived together for over ten years, so he was very clear that as long as she didn't want to come, he absolutely could not force her.

Therefore, he could only find ways from other aspects to wipe out those bugs who tried to approach her.

Just as he was deliberating how much investment was needed for a strategic stake in Yuegui Network and the subsequent plans after the investment, suddenly, the data stream that had been flashing continuously on the Revenge screen next to him finally ended.

At the same time, its cold mechanical voice also sounded, "Master, all the data stolen by AI-001 has been read and organized. Would you like to view it now?"

"Is it done?"

Sun Cheng couldn't help but feel a jolt of energy. He looked at Xiao Wu, "Xiao Wu, end the virtual interface projection!"

The virtual light screen floating in front of him disappeared immediately. He then moved Revenge from the side and placed it in front of him, then looked at the screen of the laptop it had transformed into, and saw 137 different folders arranged in nine rows from top to bottom on the desktop.

Each folder was marked with a different name in Chinese. Because it had been preliminarily organized by Revenge, the files he considered most important were all concentrated in the first row at the top.

Sun Cheng looked at them one by one, and saw that the dozen or so folders above displayed 【North Wind Data】, 【Nuclear Test Simulation】, 【Electromagnetic Simulation】, 【New Fighter Wind Tunnel Simulation】, and so on.
