Scholar's Advanced Technological System

Chapter 1501: Help From the Security Bureau

Mansion on the outskirts of Jinling.

Lu Zhou arranged by email to talk to Academician Zhang about the pulsed magnetic field in person, but Lu Zhou waited for a long time and did not see Academician Zhang. Instead, he saw an unexpected person.

Lu Zhou looked at Captain Xing who appeared in the access control system. He showed a clearly surprised expression on his face.

He had made it clear on the phone not long ago that he was not interested in the project of the task force, but Captain Xing still found him.

Lu Zhou asked, “What do you want?”

Captain Xing, who was standing in front of the iron gate, gave a light cough and said while looking at the camera of the access control system.

“Aren’t you going to ask me to come in?”

After hesitating for a while, the iron gate finally moved slowly.

Seeing the iron door slowly opening, Captain Xing sighed in relief. He walked along the path behind the door towards the main building of the mansion.

The entrance door opened.

After Lu Zhou invited him to sit down, he told Xiao Ai to go to the kitchen and bring two cups of tea.

Xing Bian took a deep breath and said in a low voice, “I really don’t recommend that you continue to use robots... After seeing the ALPHA virus, are you not afraid at all?”

“Or are you suspecting that a 100-year-old man who just woke up created this virus?”

100-year-old man...

His eyebrows twitched fiercely. He coughed slightly and explained, “I didn’t mean that. It is purely out of safety concerns. 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, you are obviously on their target list now.”

“I know,” Lu Zhou said casually, “I can probably guess what happened with Liu Zhengxing. But I am not afraid of that ALPHA virus, and I don’t think they have the ability to hurt me.”

Xiao Ai, who nodded in agreement, came out from the kitchen with the tea and said enthusiastically, “Yes! Xiao Ai is very strong! (๑•̀ᄇ•́)و✧”

Xing Bian: “...?”

Lu Zhou coughed slightly and said, “Stay in the study room for a while.”

Xiao Ai: “QAQ”

Looking at the robot, who was now walking up the stairs, Xing Bian decided that he didn’t see anything. He cleared his throat and looked at Lu Zhou with serious eyes.

“We need your help.”

Lu Zhou was stunned by the sincere look in Captain Xing’s eyes. He spoke with a weird expression.

“I’m just a scholar, not a detective. How can I help you?”

“But you are an expert in the AI field.” He took out the sample bag in his hand and placed it gently on the table. Xing Bian said solemnly, “This was found on the body of that person.”

Body?

Lu Zhou blurted out, “Which person...?”

“Song Yangwei.”

Song Yangwei...

He’s dead?

After hearing this unexpected news, Lu Zhou gulped slightly. The expression on his face gradually became serious.

Although from the first day they met, he didn’t have a good impression of that guy, especially the two threats afterward, even if it didn’t hurt him, it was really uncomfortable.

But even so, Lu Zhou still hoped that he would be tried by the law, rather than ending in this way.

The only two signatures on the X-100 project were Liu Zhengxing and Song Yangwei.

Both of them were dead. As a result, all the secrets about them had been buried in the soil.

Lu Zhou did not expect this result.

“He died?”

Looking at the surprised Lu Zhou, Xing Bian nodded solemnly and continued, “He was found dead at home...

“Right under our noses.”

It took about three minutes for Captain Xing to briefly tell Lu Zhou the whole story.

In short, the Security Bureau put him back home under house arrest.

However, during the period of house arrest, someone remotely hacked into his implanted prosthesis and uploaded a very destructive virus.

Lu Zhou still didn’t understand why a normal person, who was not sick, had to implant a bunch of parts.

In the era where he once lived, only people who were forced to would choose implants.

“So his artificial heart was turned off?”

“To be precise, a chip implanted in the central nervous system controls the artificial heart. The perpetrator used a virus to overload and damage the chip, causing the victim’s heart to stop and also caused spinal nerve necrosis.”

Lu Zhou: “This method of death is quite miserable.”

“It’s cruel, because this isn’t an instant process.”

The process of death was prolonged, and the feeling of watching one’s life go was torture, both mentally and physically.

“Bionic implants... How is there such a strange trend?”

“I don’t know.” Captain Xing said with a wry smile, “But this is the fact. Now they may not only have the ability to control billions of robots but also determine the life and death of hundreds of millions of people. We must find out what this virus is, and it is best to contain it at the source... Can you think of a way to restore the data inside?”

Lu Zhou said with a headache, “Is there no such kind of expert in your task force?”

Captain Xing: “Our experts are towards the application direction. For information technology crimes involving cutting-edge research fields, we generally commission universities and laboratories that we cooperate with... But as you know with the current situation, some things are not convenient to disclose.”

Certain things were inconvenient to disclose.

Once a widespread panic began, the consequences would be unimaginable for everyone.

Lu Zhou felt a little headache.

Except for quantum computers and quantum optical cables, he really did not remember making any outstanding achievements in the field of information technology, nor did he know why Captain Xing came to trouble him.

“It’s hard to say... The chip has been physically burned, I don’t know if I can help you.”

“Please...” Captain Xing said earnestly while looking at Lu Zhou with a sincere expression on his face, “This is for the safety of billions of people’s lives and properties. The most promising solution I can think of is you!”

Staring at Captain Xing for a while, Lu Zhou, who was silent for a long time, finally sighed.

“All right, I will try...”

In any case, the cause of everything was due to an experiment a hundred years ago, and he should clean up his own mess.

Besides, this problem was so serious, and it was closely related to everyone’s fate...

Captain Xing finally stretched out a sincere smile as he said in a grateful tone, “Thank you.”

“Don’t thank me just yet, I can only try.” Lu Zhou looked at the sample bag on the table and said, “Leave this thing here for two days. Come back the day after tomorrow. I should be able to give you a result.”
