It had been a week since the last time he gave the password to Captain Xing.
These days, Lu Zhou had been waiting for Xing Bian to give him a reply, especially about what the password was used for, but there was no news.
But interestingly, although there was no news from the Security Bureau, good news came one after another from East Asia Power.
The first was from the electromagnet research laboratory.
Director Tang lived up to his expectations. After slightly improving his A1 pulsed magnetic field generating device, he designed it into a magnetic generating device that covered an area of about 4 acres and could form an instantaneous magnetic field of 10000 to 20000 T Tesla in the central area.
At the same time, the construction team on the Moon had also begun the construction of the foundation.
No matter how perfect the theoretical model was, it was just a theory without being tested in practice.
However, Lu Zhou was still full of confidence in completing his plan.
Most of the problems faced by the second-generation controllable fusion were advanced versions of the bottlenecks faced by the first-generation controllable fusion. As long as the most critical magnetic field could be solved, other problems were not a problem at all.
For example, ignition.
After consulting a large number of documents, Lu Zhou had designed a set of laser ignition arrays that could be used for nuclear core ignition in the past few days.
Although there was still a lack of experimental testing, as far as he was concerned, there should be no major problems.
The last few days of February passed quietly. On the first day of March, Li Guangya suddenly called him and told him that the formalities for taking office had been completed.
From now on, Lu Zhou's identity was no longer just an academician of the China Academy of Sciences, but he was also the chief consultant for scientific development of the Pan-Asian Cooperation Ministry of Science and Technology.
In terms of rank, he was probably the second-in-command of the entire Pan-Asian Cooperation science and technology department.
"This is the academic center of Pan-Asian Cooperation.
"At best, it can only be regarded as the center of power in academia." Lu Zhou glanced around and said casually, "I don't see scholars, only bureaucrats."
"You seem to have a prejudice against people in administrative positions." Li Guangya shrugged his shoulders. "Well, as you wish, this is the center of power in the Pan-Asian Cooperation academic community, and now you are only one step away from reaching the top."
"Oh, really."
Li Guangya smiled and said, "Of course, other than the Minister of Science and Technology, you have the highest rank."
Lu Zhou: "Unfortunately, I'm not interested in power."
"No matter what, let me introduce you to your colleague … Since he's here," Li Guangya said with a smile as he looked at the middle-aged man walking toward him, "This is Xue Rui, the Minister of Science and Technology."
"Nice to meet you, Academician Lu, I've only seen your name in textbooks. I didn't expect to work with you one day. Thank you for the power of technology." Minister Xue extended his right hand with a smile and shook Lu Zhou's hand enthusiastically. He then said, "There's a meeting in a while. It would be great if you could come along. We hope to borrow your wisdom."
"What meeting?"
Minister Xue said with a smile.
"Let's talk on the way."
…
The meeting had not yet begun, but many people were already seated in the spacious conference room.
Academician Wang, who was sitting in the middle of the table, glanced at his watch and suddenly said softly.
"This is the second time I've been here."
After waiting quietly for a while, Yang Wu, who was sitting next to him, asked casually, "So?"
"So?"
"Nothing, just a little nostalgic." With a touch of reminiscence in his eyes, Academician Wang continued, "About 20 years ago, when I was still working at the Shanghai Computer Research Institute, my supervisor and I were summoned here for a meeting in order to fight against the 'locusts' that swept the whole country."
The so-called locusts here did not refer to locusts in nature, but a computer virus codenamed Locust. This virus specifically targeted cloud servers and posed a considerable threat to the virtual reality network and maglev road network of the Pan-Asian Cooperation.
Fortunately, the virus, whether it was the early warning or the convening of the emergency meeting, was textbook speed. There was almost no substantial loss to the lives and property of the Pan-Asian people.
However, this time was different.
Unlike several previous network security crises, this time the ALPHA virus was not only global, but it was far from comparable to ordinary computer viruses in terms of danger and concealment quality.
The most important thing was that Wang Sicheng was not even sure whether it was a human or something else that created this virus …
"If possible, I hope this is the last time I come here in my life." Academician Wang Sicheng glanced at his watch again, sighed softly, and said, "It's about to start."
While everyone waited quietly, the meeting began.
Minister Xue, who walked to the front of the stage, read the outline of the meeting, then sat down.
Yang Wu noticed that the person sitting next to Minister Xue was a little familiar. After looking at him carefully for a while, a surprised expression appeared in his eyes.
Chief Consultant of Scientific Development … Lu Zhou?
He only went to the frontline for less than half a month. How did Academician Lu become the Chief Consultant of Scientific Development when he came back?
"Everyone here is a top expert in the field of information engineering and scientific research. This time, I gathered everyone here in the hope that you can provide some valuable opinions.
"Especially about how to deal with the quantum computer array on Ceres. The limited clues show that this unresolvable computer program is running on it, and part of the core code is highly similar to the ALPHA virus."
The moment the voice fell, the heads in the conference room moved, and the faces of the experts showed surprised and shocked expressions.
Minister Xue paused and continued, "If you have any good ideas, you can put forward them.
"If you have any good ideas, feel free to bring them up. I hope everyone can express their views."
"There is nothing to say. Obviously, that supercomputing center is the source of the virus!" A scholar stood up and said fiercely, "The ALPHA virus has a strong evolutionary ability, and it is very likely that this evolution was completed with the support of this supercomputing center. Whether it is an extraterrestrial civilization or a terrorist organization that built this supercomputing center, physically eradicating it is always the best option! "
This proposal was approved by many people.
No matter what secrets were hidden in that computer, it was not a wise move to expose it at the risk of dragging the world into the fire pit.
After hearing these words, Minister Xue nodded thoughtfully and fell into deep thought.
The conference room was noisy.
At this time, a gray-haired scholar raised his hand and raised a different opinion.
"If that supercomputing center is the source of the ALPHA virus, I don't recommend destroying it immediately. This may be the only clue we have so far. Intuition tells me that if we want to figure out how to solve the ALPHA virus, we must figure out what it is calculating. "
Another scholar nodded and echoed, "My opinion is the same. Even if the entire Ceres is blown up, it will not change what has happened. In the worst case scenario, even if we decide to destroy it, the hardware is innocent. This supercomputing center is probably the largest quantum computer array in the entire solar system. If it is used for scientific research, it will be of great help to us! "
The person who previously proposed to destroy the quantum computer array sneered and said, "For scientific research? This is ridiculous! Which research institute dares to use such dangerous experimental equipment? "
"As long as its data is emptied, it will be safe, at least to a certain extent. Why can't we use it? Scientific research itself is full of risks, not to mention that even if we don't use all of it, we can dismantle it and use some of its parts! "
Minister Xue couldn't help but feel a headache as he watched the conference room fall into a quarrel. He glanced sideways at Lu Zhou, trying to see any changes on his face.
However, to his disappointment, he didn't see anything except for Lu Zhou's facial expression.
He remembered that at this time, there was a cough that was neither light nor heavy in the conference room, and it made the quarreling voices calm down a little.
"Let me say a few words."
Yang Wu from the Pan-Asian First Fleet pushed his chair away and stood up. He looked around the conference room and spoke.
"Judging from the clues we have so far, the supercomputing center should be artificially built, and there is a high probability that it is an important clue related to the ALPHA virus. Our fleet does not recommend destroying it … although it is easy to do so. "
"About how to deal with the computer and the computing program it is executing …"
"I want to hear the opinion of the Chief Advisor for Scientific Development."
