Chapter 63 It's time to go to church for prayer

  Thank you to book friend "☆づ惜ぉ尐夜" for your repeated support! I really appreciate your support! Thank you to book friend "哲维" for your repeated support! Bowing down! Speaking of which, recently it's all been about saying thank you, this feeling is really great! By the way: The next chapter will feature a beautiful girl, everyone can guess who she is, those who answer correctly will receive a kiss from me! Hahaha!

  Two minutes later, everyone was staring blankly at the computer. Earlier, they had tried to get rid of the strange garbled code with an antivirus tool, but what puzzled several people was that no matter what commands they gave, the computer didn't respond at all. Professor Vincent thought the computer had crashed and shut it down for a reboot. The result...the computer remained in this state after rebooting!

  Everyone's face changed color in an instant, because the computer in front of them was a supercomputer, named "Core Ability", with a calculation speed of over 100 billion times per second, belonging to the same level as the "Fortress" supercomputer of the North American Air Defense Command!

  This is the US Computer Research Center, with a very high level of security, and so far no hacker has ever invaded it. How did this garbled code flow enter "Core Ability" and how did it cause the "Core Ability" supercomputer to crash?

  Several people in the room were stunned for a while, and then a staff member pushed open the door and walked in. He complained: "You guys, the 'Xin Neng' computer's body has overheated excessively. Although we have activated all the cooling towers, the situation has not improved. What are you doing? How can you overload 'Xin Neng'?

  As soon as this was said, Vincent and others immediately sensed that something was wrong. After a while, Lumen from Intel suddenly exclaimed loudly: "I know! Someone is using our computer to do some calculations!"

  Vincent and the others suddenly realized, the progress bar on the computer screen can well verify Rumen's words, until now, everyone finally understood - it turns out that someone is occupying our computing resources!

  Although a few people understood, they still couldn't think of it, the computer didn't listen to orders, how could they kick the other party out? Just as several people were at a loss, the "Xin Neng" computer in front of them finally changed, the progress bar on the screen had reached the end, and with a flash of the screen, the garbled code and progress bar disappeared instantly. The "Xin Neng" computer returned to normal operation, and now it looks exactly the same as before. If not for several people witnessing it with their own eyes, everyone would have thought that what happened earlier was an illusion.

  After being stunned for a while, Professor Vincent sat in front of the computer and became busy. In less than three minutes, he pointed at the computer screen with a look of horror and said: "You... you see? It's not just our computer that is like this. All computers connected to the internet around the world have... have lost control!!"

  The remaining few people had already seen the news headline on the computer screen - "Thirteen minutes of global network silence", Professor Vincent opened the news website, as the most authoritative domestic news media, the report was quite reliable, but after seeing this title, Vincent and others felt that it was a misposted news.

  Professor Vincent then opened the New York Times website and saw a headline that read: "Super Virus with Nuclear Bomb Power". The content of this news was similar to the previous report, detailing the course of events. At the end of the article, the author wrote: "Today's events have exceeded the basic rules of computer technology, something impossible has happened, I think this must be God's joke, he wants to tell us not to be so obsessed with computers, we should spend more time praying in church."

  This statement is a bit sarcastic, but it also well illustrates people's confusion. Modern human society is built on the foundation of science and technology, but now this thing has overturned people's understanding of science. Many people are seriously thinking about whether this is God revealing himself, because the time when this thing broke out was 5:13 in the afternoon, and the duration was exactly 13 minutes. In Westerners' eyes, 13 is an unlucky number. Since the event that just occurred is so closely related to the number 13, maybe it's really God playing a joke on us?

  Even Professor Vincent and others began to doubt their values at this moment. After a while, Microsoft's senior engineer Josh spoke up: "Everyone... I think we should go to church and pray..."

  Senior engineer Lewis of IBM nodded and said, "Yes, I think it's necessary..."

  The rest of them nodded in agreement, including Professor Vincent, and they immediately walked out, it seemed that they were really going to pray.

  Most Westerners believe in Christianity, even high-tech professionals are devout Christians. Even the great Newton and Einstein could not escape this fate. From here we can see that Westerners have their own unique persistence in terms of divine authority. When faced with things they cannot understand, people will always think about it from this perspective. When expressing extreme shock, they usually say: "Oh my god!"

  At this moment, a certain trash website on the internet is having an online conversation. The two parties communicating are Angel and Satan. Satan sent a message saying: "What do you think about what happened today?"

  The angel replied: "......Inexpressible......Unintelligible......"

  Satan: "......That's what I think too, this thing is really unthinkable..."

  After a moment of silence, Satan sent another message: "Do you think the occurrence of this matter might be some kind of omen?"

  Angel: "What omen?"

  Satan: "This thing may portend some outcome has appeared, you saw that progress bar? At the time my computer was running at full speed, it's clear that something is using my computer to do some work. According to the final screen displayed by the progress bar, this work has been completed, so some outcome must have appeared."

  Satan's interpretation is quite accurate, but he wouldn't think that this is the evolution process needed for the birth of artificial intelligence.

  The angel fell silent for a moment before responding, "Although what you said makes sense, I think this matter is fundamentally illogical. Have you considered - the combined computing power of all the computers in the world is incredibly strong. If the other party really wants to use these computers to produce some kind of result, then what would they be calculating? What kind of outcome would require such astonishing power to appear?"

  Satan saw the angel's message and replied: "What you said makes sense too...... My mind is all messed up right now..."

  Angel: "In my opinion, this thing is likely to be caused by some hidden danger of the global network - never mind, I still have things to do, let's talk about it here."

  Satan: "Alright, I'm also going to church for prayer, see you later."
