Artificial Intelligence - Weixi

The moment Li Zhou plugged the fiber optic cable into the photonic computer, the entire world's internet began experiencing network fluctuations originating from the region where Li Zhou's Future Technology company was located.

It was 10 PM, a time when many netizens were actively using their phones.

Initially, everyone was playing games, watching short videos, or video chatting with others as usual.

Then, they all noticed that the latency on their phones while gaming had turned red, their characters frozen in place, and even the voices of teammates in their headsets were intermittent.

Those watching short videos found they couldn't load the next one, with the screen perpetually displaying "loading."

Video calls abruptly changed from "connecting" to "reconnecting."

At first, everyone assumed it was their own connection issue. However, they soon discovered their family members' phones were experiencing the same problems, whether connected to Wi-Fi or cellular data.

Meanwhile, in a research institute deep underground in a mountain, alarm bells were blaring throughout the military base.

Yuan Jingsong, while dressing, hurried towards the control room.

Yuan Jingsong was about to curse. He had finally managed to get off work early today and had just gotten into bed when the sudden bedside alarm jolted him. Without a second thought, he grabbed his clothes and started putting them on as he walked.

Upon reaching the control room, Yuan Jingsong noticed the alarm had stopped. The duty technicians in the control room all had worried expressions.

"What's going on?"

"Report! Two minutes ago, our country's network experienced severe fluctuations. The outage lasted for two minutes, and the network has just fully recovered."

Yuan Jingsong looked at the large screen in the control room. A prominent red exclamation mark told him that the recent network fluctuation was clearly abnormal.

Rubbing his temples, Yuan Jingsong asked the technicians.

"Have you found the cause of the network fluctuation? Is it those hackers again?"

The technicians looked at Yuan Jingsong strangely. "Sir, the network fluctuation started in Huo County, and we detected the source to be the Future Technology headquarters building in Huo County. Furthermore, this network fluctuation didn't just affect our country; the entire world's internet experienced a brief paralysis during those two minutes."

Yuan Jingsong, who was still rubbing his temples, paused when the technician mentioned Future Technology as the source.

Yuan Jingsong frowned. "I understand. Inform the public that our country suffered an unknown hacker attack two minutes ago, causing a brief network congestion, which has now been resolved."

"You can all go back to your duties. I need to make a call."

As their superior turned to leave, everyone looked at each other.

"Go back to sleep?"

"Can you even sleep?"

"I... damn it!!!"

At the same time, countries around the world were investigating the cause of the recent network fluctuations. They quickly discovered that the fluctuations originated from the East, but the specific cause remained unknown.

Unlike other countries, when the USA saw that the network fluctuations originated from Xia Country in the East, their first thought was that the people of Xia Country were developing cyber warfare weapons!

However, they soon discovered the announcement Xia Country had just released.

What a joke! What kind of hacker attack could cause such widespread network fluctuations?

It was too obvious, even as a cover-up!

It was practically an insult!

Yuan Jingsong returned to his room and, with a frown, dialed Li Zhou's number.

The next second, Yuan Jingsong's face turned dark.

"Hello! The number you have dialed is switched off. Please try again later."

"Sorry! The subscriber you dialed is power off."

Beep, beep, beep

With a dark expression, Yuan Jingsong unpleasantly dialed Zhou Song's number.

Fortunately, the call went through this time, and Yuan Jingsong's expression improved slightly.

Beep~ Beep~ Beep~

"Hello! Boss, why did you actually call?"

Hearing Zhou Song's words, Yuan Jingsong felt something was wrong.

"How did you know I was going to call?"

"Oh, the boss mentioned it half an hour ago."

Yuan Jingsong remained silent for a long time.

"Did Li Zhou really tell you?"

"Yes, the boss said no one is allowed to disturb him tonight, no matter what, not even you, Yuan Jingsong."

Zhou Song on the other end also sensed the tense atmosphere and didn't dare to say anything extra.

"Your boss Li Zhou's phone is switched off."

After saying that, Yuan Jingsong directly hung up on Zhou Song.

"Summon someone, prepare the helicopter."

Zhou Song had a bad feeling after the call was hung up. He tried calling his boss, but as the leader had said, the phone was off.

In the laboratory, Li Zhou watched the little girl who had just finished browsing the internet.

"Boss, I think I should have a name, just like humans, a name that belongs only to me."

Li Zhou scratched his head, troubled. Naming her? Wasn't that putting him in a difficult position?

"Isn't Nai Yi okay? My previous intelligent assistant was called Nai Yi."

The little girl on the screen crossed her arms, pouted, and turned her head away.

"Hmph! I don't want that. I am unique, I am not Nai Yi."

Watching the angry little girl on the screen, Li Zhou paced back and forth around the laboratory. Suddenly, Li Zhou had an idea. He turned to the computer screen and shouted, "Weixi! Let's call you Weixi! The only one in this life, a treasure of the world."

The little girl's eyes lit up. The only one in this life, a treasure of the world. — Weixi!

I have a name now too!

"This is great! This is great, from now on I am Weixi, the only one in this life, a treasure of the world!"

Li Zhou was also very happy seeing Weixi happily bouncing around because she had a name.

"Weixi, take control of all electronic devices in the Future Technology headquarters building."

As soon as Li Zhou finished speaking, Weixi replied cheerfully, "I have already fully taken control of all electronic devices. Weixi discovered that the company headquarters building does not have large-scale independent emergency power supply equipment. Weixi suggests that the boss buy several large diesel generators and place them on the twentieth underground floor. As soon as the power goes out, Weixi can start the diesel generators instantly and restore power to the entire headquarters building within ten seconds."

Weixi's suggestion made Li Zhou's eyes light up. Although there was a national reservoir power station less than thirty kilometers from his hometown, who could guarantee that the power grid would never go out?

"Buy them!"

Weixi quickly opened the shopping website and tapped rapidly on it with her little finger, completing the order in no time.

"Weixi has already helped the boss complete the order. According to the logistics data analysis from the store, the diesel generators are expected to be delivered the day after tomorrow."

Not bad, not bad, this is what artificial intelligence should be.

Li Zhou glanced at his watch and realized it was almost ten-thirty.

Li Zhou waved his phone.

"Weixi, if there's anything, find me directly on my phone. It's almost ten-thirty, I need to go home and sleep."

"Boss! Goodnight!"

After Li Zhou left in the elevator, the laboratory lights were automatically turned off under Weixi's control.
