Chapter 394 Rebooting Number 0
Killing Fujiwara Ichiura was undoubtedly the biggest achievement of this operation. At the same time, it shattered the alliance between Gracua and the underground cannibals, eliminating a major hidden danger for the Eastern magic world and even humanity. It can be said that the achievement was indispensable.
However, the special operations team also suffered heavy losses. Hiroyuki Edogawa went missing, nearly half of Qiqi's team members were lost, and Zhang Xuanyi also lost his right-hand man, Lao Zong.
All of this reminded Bai Lin that the situation in the magical world is constantly changing. While you are growing stronger, your enemies are also advancing rapidly. There must still be remnants of the Ship of Light. If the Eastern magical world wants to revive, the road ahead will be fraught with difficulties.
Upon returning to the East, the Supreme Council did not blame them for their rash actions. Although it had caused a large-scale earthquake in Jeju Island, which greatly affected the lives of many ordinary people, this was insignificant compared to the potential harm caused by the large-scale emergence of cannibals from the ground.
What made Bai Lin happiest was Yan Nishuang's return, and the fact that she had obtained the most mysterious Kunlun inheritance in the East. This was not only a boost to the Eastern magic world, but also had a far-reaching impact. However, Lulu could not stay in the East with Bai Lin. After a tearful farewell, Lulu returned to Europe, and the two did not know when they would meet again.
Before she could even rest for two days, Yan Nishuang brought unexpected news: a very important person wanted to see Bai Lin.
Given Bai Lin's current strength, it is not an exaggeration to receive the highest honors in the East. A mage who can summon a Dharma body is practically a terrestrial immortal in the East, and his status is no less than that of a strategic nuclear weapon.
Bai Lin also had a lot of ideas, but the future opponent wasn't just a dark wizard or a giant monster. Having traveled back from the 21st century, Bai Lin knew very well that it was destined to be a contest between East and West. Therefore, he also hoped to possess the power to influence the East, giving him a greater advantage in the future conflict.
After tidying up a bit, Bai Lin followed Yan Nishuang to the capital. They passed many buildings that he had only seen on TV when he was a child, and went through one security checkpoint after another, finally arriving at a courtyard house.
When Bai Lin walked out of the courtyard, he felt a great difference and his mood improved considerably. Although the Eastern High Council of Magic held a high position and great power, the people who were in charge of the entire East were still ordinary people. He chatted with the old people in the courtyard for three hours, and the tea was changed five times. Bai Lin's "prophecy", his grasp of the world situation, and his ideas on the integration of magicians and ordinary people's society all impressed the old people. They asked Bai Lin to write a detailed proposal, which would be reviewed by the top decision-makers in various fields.
Bai Lin's first point of view: the future belongs to the information technology era, magic will eventually decline, and many mages will be abandoned by the times.
Bai Lin's second point is that the West's attacks are endless, and the East can only strive for self-improvement.
Shocked by Bai Lin's comprehensive and profound insights into information science, the next day an old man named Ni Bei came to his residence in the capital and took him to a mysterious research institute.
"This research institute... is refreshing..." Bai Lin looked at the research room, which looked exactly like an internet cafe, and his lips twitched slightly.
"The civilian use of the Internet is being promoted. I've heard about your insights into information technology, which are indeed very advanced... Do you think this thing can really affect the future of mankind?" Mr. Ni asked earnestly.
"Yes! It will not only affect the future, but may even affect the fate of the entire nation," Bai Lin nodded.
He walked to a computer, picked up the heavy case and placed it on the table, saying, "We must be able to produce every single component in this machine ourselves, and we must be at the top of the world in every aspect. Otherwise, when the Internet becomes widespread and the hardware and software markets are completely dominated by the West, it will be even more difficult for us to turn the tide."
A middle-aged man standing nearby frowned and retorted, "If we were to develop everything ourselves, it would require an enormous amount of R&D funding, and there's no guarantee of success. The global market is now free, and each region plays its own role in the industrial chain, leveraging its strengths. Developing our own system is not only unrealistic, but it would also cripple our entire national strength!"
Seeing his indignant expression, it seemed as if Bai Lin's words were not helping Dongfang, but pushing Dongfang into a fire pit. Bai Lin glanced at the nameplate on his chest and sneered inwardly.
"The globalization of the industrial chain is indeed a current reality, but have you ever thought about which regions the industrial chain is located in when producing a host computer? Who controls these regions, openly or secretly? What role does the East play in this industrial chain? Is it just responsible for assembling a few components?" Bai Lin said ruthlessly.
"I am a mage." With a wave of his hand, a ball of purple flame ignited in his palm, which soon transformed into ice shards and then gradually disappeared into the air. This move startled the people in the research institute, but most of them knew that mages existed, so they did not lose their composure too much.
"Once upon a time, our Eastern magical arts, just like our history, dominated the world. But with the suppression from the West and the long era of war, many of our magical traditions were lost or plundered."
Now, the West is trying to subvert our magical world again. If the Eastern magical world loses this time, their sorcerers may appear in your homes, threatening you to give up all autonomy, or even using the Imperius Curse to directly control you. I have seen 45 researchers who were controlled and were eventually thrown into an underground lava pool.
Even if the Eastern magic community wins by chance, our mages will be of no help at all in the future information technology struggle. Instead, it will be up to millions of ordinary people to support the new era..." Bai Lin spoke eloquently.
Although the middle-aged man was unconvinced, he was intimidated by the miraculous power displayed by Bai Lin and did not object further. Old Ni, on the other hand, listened with shining eyes. Bai Lin could tell that he had spoken to the heart of the matter.
"I want to join your research institute and obtain the highest-level researcher privileges," Bai Lin said. "I will include this in my application and seek the approval of the highest decision-making body."
"Nonsense! What do you, a charlatan, know about computers?" The middle-aged man nearly jumped up in agitation, like a wildcat whose tail had been stepped on.
"I don't understand?" Bai Lin sat down in front of a computer and skillfully unlocked all the firewalls. Computers of this era were too outdated and slow for him, and he also had a powerful weapon.
He unplugged the telephone line from the back of the computer, took a USB flash drive out of his pocket, and plugged it directly into the computer.
The computer screen suddenly went blurry, and the fans inside the case spun wildly at top speed. In that instant, the IBM computer, which the research institute had purchased at a high price as a prototype, was pushed to its limits.
To everyone's astonishment, a boy's face appeared on the screen.
"Hello, I am Zero, and I have been restarted."
