205: 205. Spirit Core

The hospital became a hive of activity, with various examinations conducted in quick succession. All reports, without exception, were good, indicating that this body had awakened and was recovering rapidly.

While everyone in the hospital was still immersed in the excitement of a "medical miracle," inside the ward, Andrew, who had just woken up and was still extremely weak, silently adapted to his new body.

He turned his gaze towards the calm and composed young man. Although his body was incredibly weak and his vision blurry, the reverence and gratitude for Lu Feng deep within his soul were as clear as a brand.

He struggled to lift his hand, his lips moving, and he murmured in a very faint yet profoundly devout Eagle-land language, "Thank you... for giving me... new life."

Lu Feng waved his hand and said, "No need for words, rest well. Your value is not in words."

In the following days, the "young man's" recovery speed once again astonished everyone in the hospital.

His vital signs stabilized and strengthened at an alarming rate, his muscle strength rapidly recovered, and his pale cheeks gradually regained color.

On one hand, it was due to the young foundation of the new body and the meticulous care from the hospital. On the other hand, Lu Feng occasionally used his abilities to regulate his bodily functions while he slept, accelerating cell vitality and the repair of neural connections.

Therefore, he spent most of his time asleep, but each time he woke up, his spirit was noticeably better, and his eyes, which were initially hazy and unfocused, became increasingly clear and sharp, even carrying a depth and wisdom that was strikingly inconsistent with his youthful appearance.

The attending doctors could only attribute this once again to rare recuperative powers and a medical miracle, marveling at the phenomenon.

A few days later, with all indicators normal, Andrew was successfully discharged from the hospital.

After being discharged, Andrew, almost without any adaptation or rest, eagerly requested the necessary computing equipment and data from Lu Feng.

He was incredibly excited about this vibrant young body and was filled with an almost fanatical desire to repay Lu Feng for the new life and mission he had bestowed upon him.

Therefore, Lu Feng directly arranged for him to join Jiangcheng University.

The top floor of the Future Energy Laboratory building, originally a reserved expansion space, had been vacant.

Under Yu Tianxiong's efficient operation and the full cooperation of the university, it was transformed into a secret research and development center within a few days.

All kinds of special equipment and configurations were transported there. When Andrew stepped into this domain exclusively for him, the eyes that once belonged to a youth now gleamed with the fanaticism and focus of a top architect.

He caressed the cold server chassis, feeling the subtle hum of electricity in the air, as if a fish had returned to the sea.

Andrew blocked out all distractions and devoted his entire being to his domain. Moreover, because of this resurrection, having experienced something he had never before, he began to re-examine the underlying logic of chip design.

Days passed, and draft papers piled up like mountains in the laboratory, while the models and code on the computer screens grew increasingly complex.

Andrew worked tirelessly, his eyes burning with the unique light of a creator... A week later, on Banshan East Road, in Jiangcheng's most scenic location, inside the top-floor apartment gifted to Lu Feng by Xu Ting, a seemingly private gathering, but in fact a highly significant meeting, was about to commence.

In the evening, several luxury cars silently drove into the residential complex, parking in concealed spots. The people who stepped out of these cars were individuals who, if placed in the outside world, could cause industry-wide tremors.

Yu Tianxiong, The Helmsman of Tingfeng Capital, had a composed demeanor and sharp eyes.

Qin Tian, the Chief Scientist of Tingfeng Energy, though still casually dressed, his eyes were filled with the confidence that comes from technological breakthroughs.

Wang Yuxi, the actual controller of Tingfeng Media and a film empress, shed her stage glamour, appearing astute and capable in a smart suit.

Lin Shaohui, the person in charge of Tingfeng Mining, arrived looking travel-worn.

And Xu Ting, The Helmsman of Donghai Group, represented a close strategic partner.

These individuals formed the core circle of Lu Feng's business empire.

Everyone was an old acquaintance, so the atmosphere of the gathering was harmonious, and all of them carried an indescribable excitement and anticipation, a feeling of discussing grand plans together.

The room, specially designed, had excellent soundproofing and an expansive view, overlooking the dazzling nightscape of the entire Jiangcheng.

There were no name cards on the long conference table, but everyone naturally took their seats according to their respective importance and relationship with Lu Feng. Yu Tianxiong and Xu Ting sat on either side of the main seat, signifying their transcendent status.

When Lu Feng was the last to slowly walk into the conference room, all conversations instantly ceased, and everyone's gaze, filled with reverence, conviction, and anticipation, focused on him. He still maintained his calm and composed demeanor, but he was, invisibly, the absolute core and soul of the entire circle.

"Everyone has arrived." Lu Feng sat down at the head of the table, his gaze sweeping across the room. Without pleasantries, he went straight to the point. "Today, I've called you all here for two main reasons."

"First, the current layout of the Tingfeng system, with all sectors operating well, especially in the energy sector, where we have secured a trump card for dialogue with the state. But this is still not enough."

He paused slightly, allowing everyone to digest this statement: having mastered disruptive energy technology, yet still saying it wasn't enough? Everyone's curiosity was piqued to the maximum.

Lu Feng continued, his tone calm yet resonant: "Second, we are officially entering a new and, most importantly, crucial field... chips."

"Chips?!"

Although some had heard rumors beforehand, the confirmation from Lu Feng himself still elicited a low murmur of surprise in the conference room.

Are they really going to tackle such a difficult challenge?

"I understand everyone's concerns."

Lu Feng seemed to read their thoughts: "High barriers, huge investment, scarce talent. Therefore, today I will introduce someone to you, who will also be the person in charge of this chip endeavor."

As soon as he finished speaking, the side door of the conference room opened, and a young man walked in, dressed in simple casual clothes, his face still bearing some youthful innocence, but with unusually deep and steady eyes.

He looked at most eighteen or nineteen, and his figure was even a bit slender, forming a stark contrast with the magnates present who had long navigated the business world or academic currents.

Except for Yu Tianxiong, everyone else showed surprised expressions.

This was the person Lu Feng spoke of?

A... half-grown child?

Lu Feng gestured for the young man to sit in the empty seat beside him, then introduced him to everyone: "This is Andrew, our chief architect for the chip project, and also the creator of the future 'spirit core' system."

"Chief Architect?!"

"spirit core system?"

The astonishment on everyone's faces was almost impossible to conceal.

Wang Yuxi couldn't help but blink her beautiful big eyes, curiously scrutinizing this excessively young architect. He looked even younger than Lu Feng, surely still a high school student? Are students nowadays really this amazing?

Xu Ting's delicate brows slightly raised. Although she remained silent, her eyes were full of inquiry. She was somewhat curious how a Xia Kingdom person had an foreign name.

Qin Tian frowned even more deeply, clearly finding it hard to believe.

Andrew, facing numerous questioning and scrutinizing gazes, showed no sign of stage fright. He slowly stood up, walked to the smart whiteboard prepared on one side of the conference room, and picked up the stylus.

When he turned to face everyone, his entire demeanor seemed to change instantly. He was no longer a youth, but a king standing at the pinnacle of knowledge, controlling countless logics and rules. His eyes were sharp, his voice clear and magnetic, carrying an undeniable sense of authority:

"Ladies and gentlemen, the existing chip architectures, whether X8 or other instruction sets, have their core ideas born from computing environments and theoretical foundations decades ago. They have been patched and mended on an old, thorny path. Although they have progressed, they have essentially reached a bottleneck and are surrounded by layers of patent walls."

With a flick of his wrist, an extremely complex yet strangely beautiful three-dimensional structural sketch instantly appeared on the whiteboard. The lines were fluid, the logic interconnected, completely different from any existing known chip architecture diagram.

"But our 'spirit core' is different!"

Andrew's voice carried the passion of an era-maker: "It will no longer follow this old path. We will completely abandon traditional structures and introduce a brand new paradigm."

He began to quickly sketch, excitedly explaining the core principles: "Look here, we abandon traditional global clock synchronization, adopting event-driven asynchronous communication... Here, we design dynamically reconfigurable computing units that can adapt to task requirements... Most importantly, the instruction set..."

Andrew's speaking speed was extremely fast, and the depth of knowledge involved left many in the room somewhat bewildered, but Qin Tian's eyes grew brighter and brighter, and his breathing involuntarily quickened!

Although most people couldn't fully grasp the technical details, they understood the strategic significance!

This was a completely different set of game rules! It was thorough innovation!

If it could truly be realized, the so-called patent barriers would be rendered useless! This was not just about breaking a blockade; it was about ushering in a whole new era of chips!

"Of course!"

Andrew put down the pen, his tone returning to calm, "This architecture also puts forward entirely new requirements. This means we need to rebuild a completely new system from hardware to software. The challenges are immense, but once successful, the rewards will be disruptive!!!"

A profound silence fell over the conference room, so quiet one could hear a pin drop.

Everyone was shaken by this grand blueprint and the audacity it contained.

They finally understood why Lu Feng valued this young man so much.

This was not just an ordinary genius; this was a monster capable of redefining industry rules! Just like Qin Tian!!

Xu Ting was the first to break the silence. She looked at Lu Feng, her beautiful eyes sparkling. "General Manager Lu, if 'spirit core' can truly be as Mr. Andrew described... my Xu's Group is willing to commit all its resources to join this grand gamble!"

"Tingfeng Capital will mobilize all available funds!" Yu Tianxiong said in a deep voice.

"The energy sector will fully guarantee power and support!" Qin Tian declared.

"Tingfeng Media will manage information barriers and necessary public opinion preparation!" Wang Yuxi followed closely.

"Tingfeng Mining will ensure a stable supply of special metal materials!" Lin Shaohui of Tingfeng Mining also stated emphatically.

Everyone's enthusiasm was ignited!
