Mansion on the outskirts of Jinling.
Originally, he made an appointment with Academician Zhang to talk about pulsed magnetic fields in person, but Lu Zhou waited for a long time and didn't see Academician Zhang. Instead, he saw an unexpected person.
Looking at Captain Xing who appeared in the access control system, Lu Zhou had a surprised expression on his face.
He didn't expect that not long ago, he had clearly expressed on the phone that he was not interested in the project of the task force, but Captain Xing still came to him.
After calming down, Lu Zhou asked.
"What's the matter?"
Captain Xing, who was standing in front of the iron gate, coughed softly and looked at the camera of the access control system.
"Are you not going to invite me in?"
After hesitating for a while, the iron gate finally moved slowly.
Looking at the open iron gate, Captain Xing breathed a sigh of relief. He walked along the path behind the gate toward the main building of the villa.
The door opened.
After Lu Zhou invited him to sit down, he instructed Xiao Ai to go to the kitchen and bring two cups of tea.
Xing Bian looked at the back of the robot vigilantly. He took a deep breath and spoke in a low voice.
"I really don't recommend you to continue to use robots … After seeing the ALPHA virus, aren't you afraid at all?"
"Are you suspecting that a hundred-year-old man who just woke up created this virus?"
A hundred-year-old man is fine …
Xing Bian's eyebrows twitched fiercely. He was too lazy to explain the relevant laws. He coughed lightly and explained.
"I didn't mean that. It's purely a safety advice. Now we have basically confirmed that Liu Zhengxing's death was committed by a robot infected with the ALPHA virus. Although the reason is still unknown, it is obvious that you are also on their target list — "
"I know," Lu Zhou said casually. "I probably guessed a little bit about Liu Zhengxing's death. But I'm not afraid of the ALPHA virus, and I don't think they have the ability to hurt me. "
Xiao Ai nodded in agreement. He walked out of the kitchen with tea and spoke energetically.
"Yes! The host's Xiao Ai is very strong! (́ • ́ • ́) و "
Xing Bian: "…?"
Looking at Xiao Ai who suddenly interrupted, Lu Zhou coughed lightly and spoke.
"You go first. I'll stay in the study for a while."
Xiao Ai: "QAQ"
Xing Bian stared dumbfoundedly at the robot walking upstairs. He decided to pretend not to see Academician Lu's strange hobby. He cleared his throat and looked at Lu Zhou with a serious look.
"We need your help."
Looking at Captain Xing's sincere eyes, Lu Zhou was slightly stunned, then he said with a strange expression.
"I'm just a scholar, not a detective. How can I help you?"
"But you are an expert in the field of AI." Xing Bian took out the sample bag in his hand and gently placed it on the table. He said solemnly, "This was found on that person's body."
Corpse?
Lu Zhou asked almost subconsciously.
"Who is it …"
"Song Yangwei."
Song Yangwei...
He's dead?
Hearing this unexpected news, Lu Zhou's throat moved slightly, and the expression on his face gradually became dignified.
From the first day they met, he didn't have a very good impression of that guy. Especially the last two threats, even if they didn't hurt him, it was really unpleasant.
But even so, Lu Zhou still hoped that he would be tried by the law rather than end up like this.
The only two signatures on the X-100 project book were Liu Zhengxing and Song Yangwei.
In the end, both of them were dead, and their secrets were buried in the ground.
Lu Zhou didn't expect this result.
"He's dead?"
Looking at Lu Zhou, who was surprised, Xing Bian nodded solemnly and continued.
"He was found dead at home …
"It's right under our noses."
It took about three minutes for Captain Xing to briefly tell Lu Zhou what happened.
In short, for some inexplicable purpose, the Security Bureau put him back under house arrest.
However, during the house arrest, someone remotely hacked into his implanted prosthetics and implanted a very destructive virus.
However, Lu Zhou still didn't understand why a healthy person had to stuff a bunch of parts that didn't belong to him in his body.
In the era he used to live in, only people who had no other choice would choose this path.
"So his artificial heart was turned off?"
"To be precise, it was implanted in the central nervous system to coordinate the artificial heart. The perpetrator overloaded and damaged the chip through some kind of virus, causing the victim's heart to stop beating and spinal nerve necrosis. "
Lu Zhou: "This is a really tragic way to die."
"It's quite cruel, because this process is usually not completed in an instant."
The process of death was prolonged. The feeling of watching one's life slip away little by little was an inhumane torture, both mentally and physically.
"Bionic prosthetics … Why do you have such a strange trend?"
"How would I know?" Captain Xing said with a wry smile, "But this is the truth. Now they may not only have the ability to make billions of robots rioting, but they may even have the ability to determine the life and death of hundreds of millions of people. We must figure out what this virus is, and it is best to contain it at the source … Can you find a way to restore the data inside? "
Lu Zhou said with a headache, "Don't you have such experts in your task force?"
Captain Xing: "Our experts are inclined to the direction of application. For information technology crimes involving cutting-edge research fields, we generally entrust cooperative universities and laboratories … But you know the current situation, some things are not convenient to disclose."
Some things were certainly not convenient to disclose.
Once a large-scale panic was triggered, the consequences would be unimaginable for everyone.
Lu Zhou felt a little headache when he looked at the pleading eyes.
Except for quantum computers and quantum optical cables, he really didn't remember having any outstanding achievements in the field of information technology, and he didn't know why Captain Xing thought of troubling him.
"It's hard to say … I don't know if I can help you with the chip that has been physically burned."
"Please." Captain Xing looked at Lu Zhou sincerely and said seriously, "This is for the safety of billions of people's lives and property. The only person I can think of who can solve this problem is you!"
After staring at Captain Xing for a while, Lu Zhou, who was silent for a long time, finally sighed.
"Okay, I'll try …"
In any case, the cause of everything was because of the experiment a hundred years ago, and he should be the one to clean up this mess.
Not to mention that this problem was so serious that it was closely related to everyone's fate …
Seeing that Lu Zhou finally nodded, Captain Xing's frowned eyebrows finally stretched into a sincere smile. He spoke in a grateful tone.
"Thank you!"
"Don't thank me so soon, I can only try." Looking at the sample bag on the table, Lu Zhou continued, "Just leave this thing with me for two days. Come back the day after tomorrow, I should be able to give you a result."
