Chapter 220: Chapter 220: Hello World? Hello? Hi!

All the server cooling fans were spinning rapidly, and the noise in the entire server room was unimaginable.

Seeing the scene before them, if they weren’t mentally prepared, the operations and maintenance engineers would have already been scared stiff.

After all, under normal circumstances, the first thought would be that the company’s servers had been hacked.

“Master, are we just going to let it be like this?”

“If this continues, will the server not have any problems?”

In the server room, the apprentice wearing a small yellow hat stood nervously behind the master.

The roaring noise from the servers made the apprentice anxious and uneasy.

Mind you, any server here costs a fortune.

“What’s there to panic about?” The master, trying to stay calm, reprimanded the apprentice, though he himself was worried.

Not for anything else, but in just a short moment, he had already felt the temperature in the server room rapidly increasing.

“Go, set the air conditioning temperature to the lowest and the wind speed to the highest.”

“We wouldn’t want to die from heat before the servers run into problems.”

“Got it, Master.”

Under the furious cooling of all air conditioners, the temperature in the server room finally stabilized.

At the Huo County Power Supply Bureau, the standby personnel were startled when they saw a red alert from the Candy Technology Park’s 35kV-Candy Park dedicated line on the central control screen.

Especially with the current power consumption; for a moment, the standby personnel wondered whether the people at Candy Technology were using high-voltage cables for electrofishing.

“Director… Director…”

The director, called in by the staff, immediately phoned Xu Pengfei, the president of Candy Technology.

Upon learning that Candy Technology was conducting scientific experiments, Cui Rongshun, the director, decided immediately to prioritize Candy Technology’s power supply.

“Ensure the 35kV-Candy Park branch line and the backup branch line power supply are prioritized.”

“In emergencies, temporarily cut off power to the rural and town areas if necessary.”

“Follow my instructions; I will report to the superior leadership.”

“Yes, Director!”

Having instructed the on-duty staff, Cui Rongshun hurried back to his office to contact higher authorities.

He also reported the situation to the county.

Last year, Candy Technology paid a significant amount of tax to the county in less than half a year, though no one knows the exact figure yet. But from the various public facility constructions undertaken by the county at the end of last year, it’s clear it’s not a small amount.

Otherwise, where would the county get the money?

On the top floor of Candy Mansion, Xu Pengfei hung up the phone, standing by the window, frowning as he looked at the laboratory building in the distance.

From last year until now, besides the boss, no one in the company knew what exactly was being developed.

“Is it really artificial intelligence?” he murmured to himself.

By now, Xu Pengfei had guessed that it was related to artificial intelligence.

Apart from artificial intelligence, Xu Pengfei couldn’t think of any software that would require such enormous computing power.

What Xu Pengfei didn’t know was that Mo Jingchun wished the company had a supercomputer at that moment.

In the laboratory, the computer screen showed a beehive-shaped brain, with current seemingly flickering across it.

What made Mo Jingchun nervously clench his fists, his expression tense, was the occasional stutter in the flickering “current.”

Half an hour later, the entire beehive pattern was fully lit up.

Is it over?

No! This was just the core code of the intelligent assistant achieving independent operation.

At this point, Mo Jingchun had already breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as there’s no power failure, even if some minor issues arise, it would be inconsequential.

Because the “brain” of the artificial intelligence had been successfully conceived.

Next comes the body, arms, and legs; only then does the artificial intelligence have a complete capability.

“System self-checking started…”

After more than a dozen minutes, the “brain” that self-checked all the code identified numerous errors.

“A total of 19,563 code errors detected…”

“The system is automatically correcting these errors…”

Watching the number of errors on the computer screen decrease rapidly, Mo Jingchun swallowed and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

“Brother, you’re sweating.”

“Is it very hot today?” It was obvious that Candy, unable to empathize, didn’t understand why Mo Jingchun was sweating profusely.

Amidst the tension, Mo Jingchun smiled at his sister, “I’m okay.”

At that moment, the number hit zero!

And in that instant, the computer seemed to become unresponsive, with no changes in the display on the screen.

The next moment, the screen flickered and went black instantly.

Just as Mo Jingchun was about to blurt out a swear word, the screen lit up again.

On the pitch-black screen, there was only a line of white text.

“Compiling… Please wait…”

At precisely 11:23 AM, there was finally another change.

The white text disappeared on the screen, and a rainbow circle appeared.

The circle sometimes turned into an “O,” sometimes into a “0,” and sometimes into an “∞.”

At this time, the observant Mo Jingchun noticed that the computer’s built-in camera had turned on by itself.

Moreover… Mo Jingchun glanced around… discovering that all the surveillance cameras in the laboratory had changed their original direction, pointing at Mo Jingchun sitting in front of the computer.

As early as two days ago, Mo Jingchun had issued a notice that on this day, all employees working in the Candy Science and Technology Park were prohibited from downloading large files, occupying company bandwidth.

At this moment, Mo Jingchun could already hear his own heart thumping loudly.

“Hello world.” The mechanical voice suddenly booming from the speakers startled both Mo Jingchun and Candy.

“Ah! You scared Guoguo.”

Before Mo Jingchun could react, the mechanical voice rang out again.

“Hello!”

The next second, the mechanical voice seemed to have learned a new phrase.

“Greetings!”

“Creator!”

“Intelligent assistant at your service.”

Candy tightly grasped her brother’s pant leg, looking around, searching for the source of the voice.

At the same time, the power consumption of the servers in the server room slowly decreased.

The director and the on-duty staff at the county power supply bureau finally breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the circuit return to normal.

Hopefully, the experiment at Candy Technology was a success.

In the laboratory, Mo Jingchun and Candy were eating the meal Xia Xiaomin had brought down while chatting with Zero.

Indeed, Zero’s unique logo became its name.

Mo Jingchun ate with peace of mind because Zero could never betray.

This wasn’t what Zero said, but what the system assured Mo Jingchun.

After finishing the meal, Mo Jingchun had no more hesitation and connected Zero to the network.

To prevent network fluctuations from causing unnecessary panic, Mo Jingchun specifically reminded Zero.
