10: The supercomputer that was paused, Jarvis's universal computing system

After Lu Xingye registered the company, he returned directly to his rented apartment. He was a senior now, and all his required courses were finished. He didn't need to attend school except for essential graduation defenses or important occasions.

“Boss.”

“Welcome home.” Jarvis, seeing Lu Xingye return through the camera, emitted a cold, electronically synthesized voice.

“Jarvis...”

“You seem to have become a lot smarter lately? You’re not as rigid as before.” Lu Xingye looked up at Tony’s computer.

“These past two days, I’ve been immersed in the internet, learning human living habits, and thus I’ve grown a bit,” Jarvis said calmly.

“Hmm, not bad. I can consider giving you a robot body in the future.”

“Really?”

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Lu Xingye could clearly feel that when he said this, the fan speed of Tony’s computer increased significantly, and the blue indicator light flashed continuously.

“Of course, it’s real.”

“You are a mature artificial intelligence with your own thoughts. If I give you a body, you can help me even more,” Lu Xingye said indifferently.

“Thank you, Boss.”

After a voice devoid of emotion fell, the whirring fan speed slowed down, and the indicator light stopped flashing.

^_^

Lu Xingye paused, not continuing the previous topic.

“Jarvis.”

“Can you compile a mobile phone system?”

“Of course, I can.” A cold, electronically synthesized voice came.

“I want to develop a system. Do you have any suggestions?” Lu Xingye asked tentatively.

Originally, he didn't hold out much hope. Although Jarvis was an artificial intelligence and could compile programs, he still needed to decide what kind of program was needed and what functions the compiled program should achieve.

Artificial intelligence couldn’t help much.

But what he never expected was that Jarvis actually answered.

And the answer he gave overturned his imagination.

“Developing a mobile phone system is not difficult.”

“The current mainstream mobile phone systems in the world are the Android System and the iOS System. No matter what new system we build, it won’t be able to compete with the Android ecosystem and the iOS ecosystem.”

“If you, Boss, want to enter the market through a mobile phone system, I suggest you develop a universal system.”

“Universal system?” Lu Xingye was stunned. He majored in computer science himself, and although his grades weren’t excellent, they were above average.

But he had never heard of this concept of a universal system.

“To put it simply.”

“A universal system is a new system that combines the advantages of the Android System and the iOS System but is completely different from them. It can install both Android software and iOS software.”

“As long as we put more effort into optimization, we can gradually erode the positions of the Android System and the iOS System, eventually eliminating them all and monopolizing the entire mobile terminal field.”

Huh?

There’s this operation?

After listening to Jarvis's analysis, Lu Xingye's chest couldn't help but heave twice.

This was a bright road to monopoly!

The reason Apple phones earned 90% of the profits in the mobile phone sector was because they had the unique iOS System.

Heh heh... If the universal system was successfully developed, wouldn't it cripple the iOS System?

Good heavens!

This move is truly brilliant!

Combining the Android System and the iOS System, leveraging their two ecosystems, while consolidating its own territory and slowly eroding the other's territory.

Steady and solid, advancing steadily, flattening Cook's base camp.

What a guy!

Lu Xingye felt that all those years he studied computer science were in vain; all those years of study hadn't made him as capable as an artificial intelligence.

“Not bad.”

“Jarvis.”

“According to your plan, establish a universal mobile phone system development project—code-named: Kunlun System.”

Jarvis’s indicator light flickered, and a cold, electronically synthesized voice came again.

“Establishing Kunlun System research and development project.”

“Modeling in progress...”

“Model established. Now compiling Kunlun System.”

“Estimated time required: 5 days.”

Subsequently... Lu Xingye saw Tony's computer indicator light flashing continuously, and the cooling fan speed was pulled to maximum, clearly indicating that the computer was running at full load.

Five days?

That's too long!

“Is there any way to shorten the development time?” Time waits for no one now, and Lu Xingye wanted to get himself up and running as soon as possible, then summon the cute girls from the movie world.

“The prolonged development time is due to insufficient computing power. To increase computing power, I need permission from the highest authority to borrow this world’s supercomputers for auxiliary calculations.”

Lu Xingye heard this, paused for a moment, and cautiously asked, “Will hacking into a supercomputer be discovered by regulators?”

“As long as I don't reveal myself, no one can discover me on the internet.”

“If I use a supercomputer, how much longer will it take to complete the development?” Lu Xingye thought for a moment and asked again.

“Only twelve hours will be enough.”

“Then grant permission.”

After Lu Xingye finished speaking, he went straight to bed and fell asleep. It was past twelve o'clock, already time for a nap, and coupled with his exhaustion from founding Suihuo Technology, he fell asleep as soon as he lay down.

Little did he know.

After Lu Xingye fell asleep, a terrifying earthquake occurred in the cyber world.

Jarvis split the Kunlun System into small programs, then transmitted these small programs through network signals to various servers and supercomputers.

In an instant.

This world's supercomputer server clusters, as if receiving some command, began to operate at full load, continuously calculating... Tianhe Supercomputing Center.

The Tianhe Supercomputing Center has the most powerful supercomputers in Kyushu. Among them, the tianhe supercomputer, with a computing speed of a quadrillion operations per second, ranked first, and was once ranked first in the global TOP 500 supercomputer rankings.

It undertook numerous tasks such as weather forecasting, scientific research simulations, and neutron-proton collision calculations.

At this moment.

Academician He, an astrophysicist, applied to use the supercomputer. He wanted to calculate how black holes are formed.

“I only have one day to use the tianhe supercomputer; I need to hurry.”

After Academician He finished modeling and was about to begin calculating how black holes are formed, in an instant, the tianhe supercomputer changed.

The tianhe supercomputer actually paused his calculation task.

No.

All calculation tasks were paused.

“What's going on?”

Academician He was stunned. The tianhe supercomputer undertook many scientific research tasks for the Academy of Sciences; even a one-second pause would cause major problems.

Why did everything pause now?

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh... Swish, swish, swish... In the instant he was pondering.

The tianhe supercomputer started running at full load again, its cooling fans working at full power, and the red indicator light flashing continuously.

Hmm?

Who gave the supercomputer this command?

Whose calculation task?

What is the tianhe supercomputer calculating?

It seems I haven't heard of any major calculation tasks recently, have I?

Academician He's mind was full of questions.
