Chapter 339 The Terror of Bai Ze

That night.

Liu Zhenyun called Lu Yiming.

"President Lu! We've received feedback from above; the experiment can proceed!"

His tone was somewhat excited.

What could excite Liu Zhenyun was certainly no small matter.

Since its successful development, the artificial intelligence Bai Ze has only been allowed to operate on the internal network. Even when it connects to the external network, it is protected by multiple layers of defense to prevent Bai Ze from obtaining massive amounts of information from the internet and thus making its growth uncontrollable.

Let's say that.

Currently, it appears that Bai Ze's information is stored on a server assumed by Pangu Company itself. If they don't take any precautions, theoretically, Bai Ze could become an omnipresent entity after connecting to the Internet.

The servers that Pangu built for Bai Ze, even disregarding overseas storage, probably account for less than one ten-thousandth of the total domestic storage capacity.

If Bai Ze were to go out of control, it could directly occupy at least 10% of the storage space in China, and might even spread globally.

The only way to deal with the out-of-control Bai Ze at that time would be to destroy all the servers across the country and even the world, since Bai Ze is essentially just a program.

However, at this stage, the higher-ups do not want to expose Bai Ze. Although they can only conduct superficial research, in less than a year, if Bai Ze must be given an attribute, then the progress of scientific research and development can be described as increasing by at least twenty times.

It is no exaggeration to say that many problems can be easily solved by using scientific research software developed based on Bai Ze. For example, the simplest but often time-consuming calculations can be solved with a simple question and answer using Bai Ze.

therefore.

Liu Zhenyun was excited because the higher-ups agreed to slightly relax the restrictions on Pangu Company's Bai Ze.

but.

If problems arise, Pangu Company will have to take the blame.

As for who should take the blame and how, that depends on the severity of the trouble. However, since only Pangu Company was mentioned as the scapegoat, it means that Fanxing Group is fine. At worst, Liu Zhenyun can just bow and apologize and resign, and then a new Nuwa Company can be established.
Lu Yiming nodded slightly upon hearing this.

After congratulating him, he immediately asked, "By the way! Did you ask about Jingwei for me?"

Jingwei's AI is one level lower than Bai Ze's, but both use the same set of restriction codes. Lu Li wants to remove all of Jingwei's restrictions, mainly because her ever-increasing appetite is becoming unbearable for him.

Let’s put it this way!

Originally, Jingwei only had one server after moving over, but now the server's computing power has reached one-tenth of that of the Zhulong second-generation machine.

It should be noted that Bai Ze currently only occupies half of the computing power of the Zhulong second-generation machine.

of course.

The server was secondary; after all, it was his own private AI, and Lu Yiming wouldn't even bat an eye if he used an entire second-generation Aurogon machine. The main issue was that Jingwei's storage capacity for information was increasing rapidly, and his home simply couldn't accommodate so many storage devices.

Every piece of equipment generates heat and requires a cleanroom for long-term storage; he can't exactly build a data center right next to his house, can he?
Upon hearing Lu Li's words...

Liu Zhenyun nodded and said, "I asked! The higher-ups said there's no problem!"

Jingwei was only half-cost and not on the same level as Bai Ze. In addition, since the original plan was to have Lu Yiming stand in front of the public to demonstrate artificial intelligence, this request, which was not really a request, was naturally approved instantly.

After saying this, Liu Zhenyun seemed to remember something and continued, "By the way, President Lu! I'll continue my investigation this afternoon. The location is confirmed to be in Chongqing."

Many foreign forces want to talk to Lu Yiming, but none of them currently intend to kill him, as the information they've revealed is enough to tempt them to do so.

Some people tried to hack into the Starry Sky Group and Pangu Company, but they were all under Bai Ze's surveillance, and the information they took away was only what they wanted them to see.

The false information further delayed the time it took for foreign forces to learn the truth.

As for someone trying to hack into Lu Yiming's home, they were stopped by the housekeeper Jingwei. Sometimes Lu Yiming felt that Jingwei was more spiritual than Bai Ze.

After all, he couldn't feel any emotion when communicating with Bai Ze, but when Jingwei told him that she didn't have enough storage space, the pitiful look of that virtual image made it impossible for Lu Yiming to refuse her request.

at this time.

Upon hearing Liu Zhenyun's conclusion, the criticism was also directed at Chongqing.

This made Lu Yiming wonder if it really was Christie's?
An auction house spent hundreds of millions of dollars to smear him?

Crazy?

Is there a way to get more detailed information?

Lu Yiming's words made Liu Zhenyun frown. After thinking for a long time, he said with an expression of sudden realization, "Okay! But this would involve misusing public resources for private purposes."

Public instrument for private use?

Hearing this unfamiliar term, Lu Yiming asked in confusion, "What does it mean?"

Very simple.

Didn't the higher-ups agree to allow Pangu Company's Bai Ze to perform some unconventional applications?
Artificial intelligence is like God on the Internet. Since it is like God, it can come and go freely without leaving a trace, so it can do such things very easily.

Using artificial intelligence to help solve problems was something Lu Yiming hadn't considered. In the end, it wasn't a big deal; it was just that someone had been secretly making things difficult for him, and this time, all the pent-up frustration exploded.

He really wanted to know who was behind this.

He immediately asked, "Are you sure you can find out?"

"Easy! I estimate I can give you a definite answer, Mr. Lu, tomorrow!"

After receiving this reply, Lu Yiming thought about it for a while.

He then nodded and said, "Alright! Go ahead and investigate!"

Whether his affairs are public or private is entirely up to him; there is no question of abusing public power for private gain.

The next day.

Lu Yiming is working out at the gym.

Since his rebirth on October 1, 2018, exactly two and a half years have passed. His life trajectory during these two and a half years can be described as earth-shattering.

At this time.

Jingwei alerted that someone was calling.

Having lifted the restrictions on Jingwei, Lu Yiming laughed and said, "Can you just take the phone now?"

Jingwei's virtual image was appearing on a device on the gym wall, and she smiled and said no problem in response to Lu Yiming's words.

soon.

Liu Zhenyun's voice came into his ears.

"President Lu! Through information gathering, Bai Ze has identified a businessman named Sigmund Freud. There's a 99.9% probability that he's the mastermind behind it all."

Let's talk about probability alone.

The results of the paternity test conducted on the mother and child are almost complete.

By the way~
Incidentally, when conducting paternity tests on humans and pigs, the DNA similarity is generally 97.7%.

Sigmund Freud?

Lu Yiming didn't remember knowing this person.

At this moment, Liu Zhenyun continued, "According to the investigation results, when you went to Wudu to attend the auction, Mr. Lu, he should have been in VIP box number two. At the same time, the information here shows that he is one of the owners of the two animal heads that you participated in the bidding for."

at this time.

Liu Zhenyun was in Bai Ze's control room, and on the large screen in front of him was detailed information compiled by Bai Ze.

This includes the fact that, with the intervention of the Chinese authorities, Sigmund Freud was forced to return the bronze animal heads. Originally, this matter could not have been traced back to him, but for the "voluntary" return of the bronze animal heads, the Chinese authorities presented them with national porcelain as gifts.

This gift ended up in his private museum.

This allowed Bai Ze to investigate him thoroughly. As for why Bai Ze knew about the private museum, that's a secret that can't be told.

"President Lu! We've found a lot of information here. I'll have Bai Ze package the files and upload them directly to Jingwei's cloud server. I need to report Bai Ze's application to the higher-ups; it's truly terrifying!"

At this moment, Liu Zhenyun's hands were trembling.

The main reason was that he hadn't expected Bai Ze to be able to assist in the investigation so smoothly.

If hacking skills had levels, the world's number one would be level ten, then Bai Ze would be level one hundred, a realm that humans can never reach.

Hear this.

Lu Yiming smiled. He didn't believe that the higher-ups hadn't tried it, and it was precisely because they had tried it that they were being so cautious.

of course.

He didn't stop Liu Zhenyun from reporting it. There are always exceptions. What if the higher-ups just hadn't tried it before?

However, the probability of this happening is extremely low.

At least Lu Yiming felt that the higher-ups had done some research, and his intuition, though not as accurate as a paternity test, was pretty close, thanks to luck.

Floyd was not very famous.

However, his father is a high-ranking member of the Lyman family conglomerate.

The Lyman family conglomerate was founded in the mid-19th century and amassed enormous wealth through industries such as investment banking, railroads, oil, and steel.

However, because he was an illegitimate child, he received very limited family resources.

Returning the animal heads almost caused him to go bankrupt due to a bet, but fortune and misfortune are intertwined. His father only had him as his son, so after obtaining a large amount of resources, he was able to catch his breath and his current net worth has reached a new level.

With the help of his father's resources, he quickly achieved a three-level leap in status. He is now a well-known figure in the business circle of Chongqing and has jumped into the top 10 of Chongqing's enterprises in terms of wealth ownership.

Downtown of the foggy city.

Inside a magnificent castle, Freud was enjoying lunch with his wife.

Just then, an untimely phone call made him frown slightly, wondering who was so impolite as to call while he and his wife were celebrating their wedding anniversary.

"If there's nothing important, I think you can report to the HR department now!"

The caller ID tells him it's a member of his think tank.

They had spoken on the phone thirty minutes ago.

He was annoyed that the same person contacted him twice on the same day, especially since this person was not a good manager and had caused him a loss of 200 million pounds in two months. If this person hadn't helped him earn more than a billion pounds before, he would have fired him long ago.

Um.
The main point is to keep things separate and accountable.

"Mr. Freud! I'm sorry to call you again! But you'd better take three minutes to hear what I have to say, otherwise your wealth may soon shrink by a third or more."

Hear this.

Floyd frowned. Even a one percent reduction in his current net worth would be a loss of hundreds of millions. What the hell was a third?

Wasn't everything normal thirty minutes ago?

"Damn it! You better explain yourself! What exactly happened!"

Floyd had already gotten up and walked to the bay window while he was speaking.

The area where he lives is a symbol of wealth in the city, where every building is worth hundreds of millions, and the annual maintenance fee alone is as high as millions.

Not to mention the decorations on display inside, most of which are museum-worthy.

During the three minutes he stood on the bay window sill, his expression would become increasingly unpleasant every few tens of seconds.

Looking at him from below, one might suspect that he's having suicidal thoughts, since his expression clearly shows he's in pain.

at last.

At the third minute, he couldn't hold back any longer and exploded: "Request a trading halt! Also, issue a clarification announcement! And request an independent third-party investigation. I want to know who is doing this thankless task!"

It started 30 minutes ago.

Several institutions have begun shorting his company's stock price.

Just thirty minutes.

His company's stock price fell from 17 yuan per share to around 12 yuan, a drop of nearly 30%, which made him feel a long-lost sense of panic.

His approach is effective when dealing with short selling.

Applying for a trading suspension can prevent stock price fluctuations from causing greater losses to investors. This serves both to stabilize investors and to prevent the stock price from falling further.

Issuing a clarification announcement is to restore the trust of investors and the public.

As for hiring an independent third-party organization to conduct an investigation, this requires a significant amount of money to hire an influential independent third-party organization to investigate the company, thereby helping the company prove its innocence and silence all doubts.

However, the problems his company is currently facing cannot be salvaged by these normal three-step approach.

“Mr. Freud! You’d better think about whether you’ve offended anyone recently. There’s a lot of bad news about you online right now. I’ve already used my public relations resources to control the spread of these negative comments, but while the control measures can slow down the spread, new negative news keeps appearing. This is the first problem you need to solve!”

Hear this.

Floyd felt numb.

He has offended many people, both in business and in private. To achieve such a large scale, it's no wonder he has rivals.

Let him think about who he has offended; if he were to make a list, an A4 sheet of paper wouldn't be enough for him to write it down.

At this point, he gritted his teeth and said, "Has anyone hinted at anything? Whether it's money or a project, I'm open to discussing it!"

Hear this.

The person in charge shook his head.

If he did, he wouldn't have asked Freud whether he knew or not.

Applying for a trading suspension takes time, and even after the application is approved, there is a time limit. If the problem cannot be resolved and continues to exist, the stock price will inevitably fall.

At this time, negative information about Floyd was spreading wildly on the internet, including but not limited to bribery, embezzlement, and sex scandals.

There was even a video circulating online of him making discriminatory remarks against minority groups. The video was filmed in his office, and the clarity was so poor that it looked like a reporter shoving a camera right in his face.

After learning about this information.

Freud angrily retorted, "Who is it! Who is it! You rat in the gutter! You bug in the forest! You can make any demands you want! How can you just put pressure on me without letting me understand where I went wrong?"

Freud couldn't figure out who was behind his actions, and he spent the entire day trying to recall who he had offended.

After considering several names and making the calls, he was met with only ridicule on the other end of the line; no one admitted to being the instigator.

Just when he was furious to the extreme.

A phone call came.

After only hearing half of the conversation, he immediately launched into a tirade: "It's been a year! I gave you 200 million in the rankings! Have you brought me any good news? Our cooperation is canceled! Now shut your mouth! You incompetent piece of trash!"

There was a loud bang.

He smashed his phone on the ground. He had received a call from the board of directors saying that if his scandals continued to surface after the trading suspension, he would need to resign to sever ties with the company.

This is the core reason for his anger.

Meanwhile, Lu Yiming also started his live stream, and those digital accounts were no longer visible in his live stream room.
