Digital Life (Absolut01) - Chapter 175

[One hundred and seventy-four.]

When Lu Zhenyu of 174 Parasitic System

walked out of the hospital to meet the team sent by Microsoft, the boss was reluctant.

Because the source of this powerful virus is very suspicious, once you start to deal with this problem, it is estimated that you will not be able to idle for a while.

Although he hadn’t seen the virus himself, Lu Zhenyu could smell a very obvious smell of advanced artificial intelligence just from the briefing Su Wan prepared for Lu Zhenyu.

And this obviously has a bad hint for Lu Zhenyu.

Unlike Su Wan, who was 16 years old when we first met in 5 years, Su Wan is now a 25-year-old, beautiful, mature, talented and well-known professional celebrity.

Now she is not only the most proficient in business and the most experienced of Lu Zhenyu’s secretaries, but also the founding disciple of Lu Zhenyu who is known both inside and outside of Digital Totem, and who is most likely to become the future leader of Digital Totem.

The current Su Wan has personally prepared a briefing material for Lu Zhenyu, which is enough to show that she takes this incident quite seriously.

With the briefing in hand, Lu Zhenyu drove the car from the factory to the headquarters, letting the car drive automatically along the way, and he sat in the back seat while looking at the material while exchanging views with Su Wan.

“Xiao Wan, do you think this matter is very important? Why do you do this kind of technical briefing yourself? Isn’t everyone tossing Chen Yuan and giving Chen Yuan stress training?” Lu Zhenyu waved the document in his hand, ignoring it. On the wide road, others looked at this strange car with an empty driver’s seat, but it was driving normally, and asked Su Wan with strange eyes.

Lu Zhenyu knew that he was not keen.

He is not good at and does not like business decision-making. It is difficult for him to gather the concentration and attention that he can easily gather in scientific research. Most of the things are just an idea and let others do it.

But Su Wan is different, Su Wan still has great ideas in business.

“Dandelion is too old. Now, purely as a software product, this software has almost no profitability, but the annual maintenance service costs are rising. In general, it is not very cost-effective. Master, your idea is very good. Ah, I have always emphasized the perfection of products. But since then, I think there will be many problems like this now. Either it has been selling well and has a good reputation, and if there is no problem, the whole product line will collapse immediately. It is crisis public relations, and it costs a lot of money to compensate customers. The best way is to divide a series of features of the product into several grades, and promote and distribute them according to a certain plan. When a customer chooses a newer product, at the same time , which is equivalent to giving up the service value of the previous generation of products. Although this part of the profit is not too much, it is also very large in accumulation. And Dandelion, although as a product, this product has a long life cycle, but I follow the Several calculation methods have been used to calculate, and no matter how I calculate it, I feel that Dandelion is not very cost-effective.”

Su Wan shrugged confidently, expressing her disapproval of Lu Zhenyu’s original approach.

“Haha. Okay, then this time I’ll just focus on technical matters. How to negotiate the next cooperation with Microsoft?

It’s all up to you.” Lu Zhenyu said with a smile.

“Master, do you mean that you have agreed to open a new generation of operating systems?”

“Of course,” Lu Zhenyu said frankly, “although optical silicon chips are still in their infancy, they have already begun to change the style of the entire computing field. In terms of software, Dandelion products and things that have been patched later are indeed a bit outdated. How to open it depends on how you talk with Microsoft. How the project is organized is also up to you. If you do a good job, I have a gift For you.”

Su Wan’s eyes lit up.

Lu Zhenyu has always been kind to her apprentice. Her graduation gift from college is a very cute two-seater sports car, and the gifts she gets every year for her birthday are also some very special things.

“Then I’ll go to work boldly?” Su Wan lowered her head, raised her head and looked at Lu Zhenyu.

“Well, don’t worry, I will help you.”

After a little contact with Microsoft’s technical team.

Lu Zhenyu handed over all the work of negotiating the joint research of the next-generation operating system with the technical officer of the other party to Su Wan.

And he, together with the two directors Lu Dekun and Han Liping, and Microsoft’s technical team, studied the wildfire of more than 22 trillion.

This extremely strange operating system.

After finding a random computer to conduct all the virus infection tests, Lu Zhenyu was a little unsure whether this was a virus or not.

The purpose of this “virus” seems to be to spread, or multiply, and not be interested in pure destruction.

Moreover, this virus has a little more functions. The virus integrates several software functions, such as media playback, network, and basic office software, and even image browsing.

It can be said that if this virus occupies a computer alone, it is almost a simple operating system with not too few functions.

However, when combined with a computer with other operating systems and other software installed, the power of “wildfire” is fully demonstrated.

But it doesn’t do much damage to the system, and it won’t affect the user’s usual use of the computer. It just changes the whole system before you know it.

Some people who are not very computer literate, and even one of them installed some good plug-ins by themselves, never thought that it was actually a virus.

The final definition of this strange thing is: parasitic operating system…

With such a positioning, the cracking of this “wildfire” also began.

In the headquarters of Digital Totem, now the software laboratory, the technical staff of Digital Totem and Microsoft gathered together to establish a very complete and huge test environment, and once again tried to crack the “wildfire”.

Since Zhenyu Lv showed his amazing typing ability in his first confrontation with Baudelaire, all the technicians of Digital Totem have been working hard to improve the typing degree and accuracy, and even commissioned Logitech to design a special design for the programmers of Digital Totem. A special keyboard.

The keystroke travel of this keyboard.

Significant optimizations have been made in terms of damping and meeting programmers’ special setup needs for shortcut keys.

There’s even a bendable keyboard light that can be tucked into the keyboard to satisfy the habit of some programmers who like to work in the dark… While preparing for the entire cracking work, Microsoft’s technicians looked at the numbers in wonder. The programmers of the totems laid out the machines in the lab as quickly and neatly as they were deploying a battle.

This time, they used the digital totem program laboratory. After most of the mechatronics research was moved to the research center, they independently enjoyed the research area of the entire headquarters and rebuilt it into the center operation room.

The upstairs and downstairs of the central operating room are machine rooms, and the central operating room is made of glass and steel, creating an unusually large space.

When it comes to the layout, some people will probably feel that it is a bit like the kind of conference room where the United Nations holds a meeting.

In the middle are the seats of the project host and others.

The surrounding area is divided into several sectors.

Each accommodates departments from different aspects of a project.

On the top of the middle of the room, there are different graphs showing each project and the progress of each sub-project in the project, so that everyone can see it at a glance.

Especially when several closely shut down projects need to coordinate with each other, these very intuitive representations are especially useful.

This room is not commonly used, and is generally a key item for digital totems.

Only when the last time to tackle the key problems is time, the project teams are allowed to arrange the time to use them in turn.

Therefore, this room also has the reputation of “wire of fire”.

All projects that Lu Zhenyu personally presides over and participates in, often have a distinct Lu style, that is, Lu Zhenyu will think things clearly, but Lu Zhenyu does not like to talk about it at meetings, but he plans his own work. Plan and own ideas into everyone’s mailbox, every employee of Digital Totem.

They were all used to seeing Lu Zhenyu sitting in the middle as steady as a mountain. As long as he installed his own machine, he could see a very detailed email after connecting to the system.

And Lu Zhenyu was in the middle, the seat with the best view, surrounded by a bunch of monitors, often working from left to right.

Coupled with the gesture of dictating several different tasks at the same time, it has become the “cover” of the digital totem program laboratory, and it can also give everyone a sense of stability.

Lu Zhenyu didn’t care whether the people from Microsoft were used to it, or at least they could accept this way of working. Lu Zhenyu was very sure that although the strength of the other party was quite good, as long as he went out on his own, there was absolutely no problem that could not be solved.

Not long after the work went on, Lu Zhenyu chatted with Lu Dekun and Han Liping while monitoring the progress of the wildfire infection simulation: “Did you see something coming?” Lu Dekun

said disdainfully, “It’s too similar to us. The style of the program.”

“Yeah,” Han Liping replied.

“It’s just style.”

Lu Zhenyu quite agreed with them.

In the simplicity of the composition of the entire wildfire.

Full of traces of subtractive learning mechanisms.

And the setting of the whole artificial intelligence, the style is very similar to the things used in a series of products recently opened by Digital Totem.

Although the full source code has not been cracked yet.

But from the reaction of the program, the senior technicians have enough evidence to say such a thing.

Although Wildfire had the word fire in its name, Lu Zhenyu felt that Wildfire was more like a creature with primary intelligence, a very special parasitic creature.

It settles into the host, controls the host, and then reproduces again.

The whole mechanism has shown a rather interesting, but also quite precise and advanced artificial intelligence.

This kind of artificial intelligence is obviously also derived from the pseudo-neuron theory, but there are very obvious differences.

Because, in contrast, this feature of artificial intelligence that is not particularly powerful at present, if described, it is more like some kind of parasitic plant.

It can be said that the designers of this wildfire have already made another attempt to use artificial intelligence.

Although Lu Zhenyu is sitting in the middle of the “line of fire”, this time, because after the work is planned, there are two directors, Lu Dekun and Han Liping, who are responsible for supervising the implementation. He can devote more of his energy to thinking and planning.

And it’s also an excellent test for your own programmers.

Now, he is not alone.

He has many powerful helpers.

The familiarity and understanding of artificial intelligence allows the programmers of digital totem to have faster progress and better performance. The whole cracking work has been carried out for 16 hours, and they have controlled the process of spreading the infection of wildfires, and have brought their own solutions for wildfires. The little Trojan horse program that made a patch.

Although the whole cracking operation is still going on, externally, this new patch will be released immediately.

After 29 hours, when Lu Zhenyu was taking a nap in the adjacent lounge, a technician woke Lu Zhenyu up.

He said, “Mr. Lu, it’s a little strange. The basic crack is almost the same. However, there is another Trojan horse in the package, which is a bit like an easter egg made by the maker. We can’t solve it there.”

Lu Zhenyu sorted out his clothes. Just followed the programmer to the “FireWire” to continue working. On his workbench, there is no doubt that coffee, sandwiches, and even a moderately cooked poached egg are already on display at this time.

Su Wan doesn’t do this now, but Lin Xiaobai never misses any time when Lu Zhenyu might need to eat. From the point of meticulousness, Lin Xiaobai is really strong.

Sitting in his seat, Lu Zhenyu glanced at the “easter egg” that his subordinates did not continue to take action, and immediately knew why his subordinates stopped taking further action and went to decompile wildfire. A specialized program for non-invasive wildfire removal on a computer that has been infected with wildfire.

This so-called easter egg is definitely the signature of a master programmer, and this person Lu Zhenyu is very familiar with, that is Kefir.

The shell of the entire easter egg is an enhanced version of the noisy Baudelaire.

Lu Zhenyu would not be overwhelmed by this difficulty. He casually stuffed food into his mouth while dictating the command line, and the “Easter Egg” opened in less than a minute.

In this easter egg, there is a small picture, and a small chat program excuse.

That picture is a handwritten letter with just a few words: I’m back.

Do you want to meet me?

– Kefir.

Lu Zhenyu didn’t show any nervousness or embarrassment. He stuffed the last small sandwich into his mouth, took out the camera from the drawer, and connected it to the computer.

Then connected to the chat program.

First there was pitch blackness and noise, and then an extremely pale face, also sleep-deprived, appeared on the screen.

That’s Kefir.
