New Black Technology

On the internet, Future Technology's quirky official Weibo account once again trended.

"I have an Intelligent Assistant, so I'm not selling it. I'm just playing around."

Below Future Technology's official Weibo, netizens left comments, saying they were just playing around.

Unlike Future Technology's official Weibo, the course review section on their official website was filled with small programs written by users after a day of studying, as well as questions encountered during development. In short, overnight, Future Technology's official website courses had become a discussion forum for countless Han Language developers.

In the office, Li Zhou, having nothing to do, suddenly remembered the progress bar in his mind. He concentrated his thoughts and was shocked to see that the progress bar had reached 98% without him realizing it. In the second he was stunned, the progress bar jumped to 99%!

Seeing the progress bar moving so quickly this time, Li Zhou fell into thought.

Compared to before the system fully awakened, there could only be a few reasons for the system's progress bar to move so rapidly.

Either it was because he had created a company and gained considerable fame globally, thus accelerating the system's progress bar.

Or it was because he had developed an Intelligent Assistant and Han Language development tools using the system's black technology and acquired a large number of users, thus accelerating the system's progress bar.

Or it was because the release of the Han Language Programming Language had a significant impact on the global IT industry, thus accelerating the system's progress bar.

After thinking it over, these were the only three possibilities. Of course, it wasn't impossible that the system had made a comprehensive evaluation and accelerated the progress bar. Regardless of the situation, as long as it could speed up the progress bar, it was what Li Zhou wanted to see most.

All day long, Li Zhou was distracted. He didn't even notice when Xiong Kexuan visited.

In the CEO's office, Wang Fei was gossiping and whispering to Xiong Kexuan.

"Sister Xuan, the boss seems completely out of it today. He was fine this morning! What happened suddenly? Could he have broken up with someone?"

"What are you always thinking about? Instead of wasting time imagining things, why don't you help me entertain Xiao Nuonuo?"

At eleven o'clock at night, Li Zhou tossed and turned, unable to sleep. He kept checking his phone or the progress bar in his mind.

It wasn't until close to midnight that a familiar prompt sounded in Li Zhou's mind.

Upon hearing the system's prompt, Li Zhou quickly found a comfortable position to lie down. The experience after the progress bar reached 100% last time was still vivid in his memory.

However – after waiting for a long time, the system showed no reaction at all.

Li Zhou frowned and closed his eyes. He soon discovered a slight change in the system: a "Details" button and a "Transfer Learning" button had appeared next to the progress bar.

Thank goodness, seeing that the system had finally become user-friendly, Li Zhou was almost moved to tears.

He had been worried that if the progress bar suddenly reached 100%, he would just collapse on the spot. Now, it seemed he no longer had to worry about that.

Li Zhou silently thought "Details," and the next moment, the basic information about this new black technology appeared in his mind.

"Photonic Computer Technology!"

The information in his mind made Li Zhou's eyes snap open. If his parents downstairs weren't already asleep, Li Zhou would have been unable to resist jumping up and shouting, "Who else can compete!"

At the forefront of computer technology today, various countries are seeking computers with stronger computing power, and their primary focus is the research and development of quantum computers.

Theoretically, quantum computers utilize the principles of quantum mechanics to perform high-speed mathematical and logical operations, as well as to store and process quantum information.

Photonic computers, on the other hand, use photons as the carriers of information, employing optical interconnects instead of wires, optical hardware instead of electronic hardware, and optical computation instead of electrical computation. They utilize lasers to transmit signals and integrate optical circuits with various optical components and optical fibers.

Although major global powers have made breakthroughs in quantum computer technology, especially China, which is at the world's highest level in quantum computer research, truly deployable and commercially stable quantum computers are still a distant prospect.

While photonic computers cannot match quantum computers in terms of operating speed and computational volume, they have lower environmental requirements and are more suitable for civilian use.

Of course, these are not the most important aspects. The most crucial point is that the system provided Li Zhou with the complete technology for photonic computers.

If the system had asked him to research quantum computer technology, he wouldn't have known where to start.

Li Zhou lay down again, adjusted himself to a comfortable position, and selected "Transfer Learning."

The next second, a tidal wave of information flowed into his mind. Protected by the system, Li Zhou entered a deep sleep state.

The night in the deep mountains was devoid of any light sources except for the moonlight shining from the sky. Only one person was on duty, protecting Li Zhou's safety late into the night.

In the early morning, the sun shone through the window into Li Zhou's room. Feeling the glare of the sunlight, Li Zhou uncomfortably shifted his position, turning his back to the window.

Since Li Zhou started high school and his parents knew how tiring studying was and that he couldn't sleep well at school, they had stopped waking him up, even if he slept until noon.

Now, with his son having founded such a large company, he was even more tired than when he was studying. Li Zhou's parents would certainly not go upstairs to wake their son.

During this time, Zhou Song quietly tiptoed upstairs to check if the boss was alright and then went downstairs. No one else went upstairs to disturb Li Zhou's sleep until noon.

While sleeping, Li Zhou was woken up by hunger. Drowsily, he closed his eyes and called out to his Intelligent Assistant, Nai Yi.

"Nai Yi, what time is it?"

"Dong dong dong, it's already two o'clock in the afternoon! Brother, you've slept for fourteen hours. According to scientific sleep knowledge, this sleeping pattern is extremely unhealthy."

Li Zhou scratched his head and reluctantly opened his eyes. There was no other way; his stomach was already protesting. If he didn't appease it soon, he suspected his stomach would revolt.

The technical data for photonic computers this time was much more extensive than that for artificial intelligence, which was also why Li Zhou slept longer this time than the previous one.

From the various components of the photonic computer to the production process, everything was in Li Zhou's mind. As soon as he thought about it, the relevant knowledge would automatically appear. The most fascinating part for Li Zhou was the core of the photonic computer – the photonic chip.

Li Zhou was already impatient to create a photonic computer. Once he did, he could truly write artificial intelligence.

However, he had been wandering around the company during this period and hadn't done any research in the laboratory. If he suddenly produced a photonic computer, he wouldn't even be able to fool himself.

What needed to be done now was to have Xiong Kexuan purchase a large batch of experimental equipment and materials, and then create the appearance that he was conducting research.

When the time is ripe, the photonic computer can be unveiled!
