Ps: To all the book friends, you can invest in the new book. The daily update of 3000 words is also almost complete. Investing now can still yield a harvest. By July, it will be listed, and you can harvest again.

In the past few days, a piece of news has been circulating within Future Technology: the company is preparing for another major move. Unfortunately, no one has any idea what it is, except for the relevant personnel.

Regarding the internal testing of the Star Operating System, the IT department has some self-awareness; they don't air their dirty laundry.

As for CEO Xiong Kexuan and others, it's even more impossible for them to leak information.

I have to say that human habits are completely different from artificial intelligence. After a few days of testing, Li Zhou didn't receive any bug reports, but instead, some suggestions were made regarding its usage.

Li Zhou carefully reviewed all the suggestions. For the reasonable ones, Li Zhou would have Weixi optimize the Star Operating System immediately.

Through continuous internal testing and usage over the past few days, the Star Operating System has no problems at all.

However, the most critical issue facing Li Zhou is the ecosystem!

No matter how good a system is, if no one uses it, it's no different from a pile of data.

Fortunately, most software development in the country is currently done using the Chinese language, which makes it easy for the Star Operating System to achieve compatibility.

Now, this operating system, belonging to the Chinese people, is ready. With just a command, it will be released to the public for external internal testing. After confirming there are no major issues, a medium-scale public beta will be conducted, and finally, if there are no problems, the official version of the Star Operating System will be launched.

However, Li Zhou is not in a hurry at all. According to Xiong Kexuan's plan, releasing the Star Operating System together with the Photonic Computer will have the best effect.

Li Zhou is not as professional as Xiong Kexuan in this regard. Anyway, whenever Xiong Kexuan wants to release it, she can. Li Zhou has decided that he definitely won't be on stage this time!

Monday.

Today is the day Yuan Jingsong comes to pick up the goods. Yuan Jingsong, who had been agonizing for a week, received a call from Li Zhou last night while anxiously waiting.

Yuan Jingsong thought that if Li Zhou hadn't called last night, he would have called Li Zhou to inquire about the situation.

On the national highway from Huo County to the Future Technology headquarters, five vehicles were traveling on the winding road.

Of the five vehicles, only the one in the middle was a fully enclosed truck; the other four were cars.

This time, to ensure the safe transport of the Photonic Supercomputer and the Artificial Intelligence back to the research institute, a total of twenty fully armed special forces soldiers, including Yuan Jingsong himself, were present, even equipped with an RPG.

Some people might think Yuan Jingsong's approach is too ostentatious, clearly telling enemies that he is transporting very important items.

However, who can guarantee that the news of Yuan Jingsong coming alone to Future Technology to pick up the goods won't leak? If it does leak, can Yuan Jingsong alone protect the Photonic Supercomputer and the Artificial Intelligence? Clearly not.

Therefore, for safety's sake, it's better to be fully armed and pick up the goods from Future Technology openly rather than worrying about "what ifs."

Moreover, Xia Country now fears no challenge and has no need to be secretive. The people of Xia Country do not fear a fight!

Of course, even in times of peace, forgetting war leads to peril; one must remain vigilant.

In Xia Country, where knives are strictly regulated, Yuan Jingsong doesn't think it's possible to take down a fully armed special forces team of twenty people in a short time, especially since Huo County is not on the country's border.

Yuan Jingsong said sternly into his headset, "All combat personnel, constantly observe your surroundings and watch out for any suspicious individuals or vehicles following us."

"Control, Control received!"

"Control, Two received!"

In the underground laboratory of Future Technology, Li Zhou was making the final adjustments to the Photonic Supercomputer to be delivered to the military.

This was the first Photonic Supercomputer Li Zhou had sold, and if a minor issue affected its reputation, it would be difficult to sell in the future.

A Photonic Supercomputer generates billions in pure profit, so how could Li Zhou not care? Selling just one more unit would be much faster than earning money from players buying skins.

"Boss, the military personnel have arrived at the company entrance."

Just as Li Zhou finished the final debugging of the Photonic Supercomputer, Weixi's reminder made Li Zhou realize it was already ten o'clock without him noticing.

"I know."

Soldiers, no matter where they are, will attract the attention of others, especially fully armed special forces.

In the short time it took for the five military vehicles to stop, the employees of Future Technology curiously walked to the windows, looking at the five military vehicles.

Especially some male colleagues, upon seeing the fully armed special forces, exclaimed "Holy shit!" several times.

Many people looked disdainfully at those who could only exclaim "Holy shit!" They didn't study hard in school and now all they could say was "Holy shit!" when they saw something.

Yuan Jingsong got out of the car, scanned his surroundings, and made a gesture. The next second, everyone quickly surrounded the five military vehicles and spread out.

Watching his brothers securing the perimeter, Yuan Jingsong led two people towards the Future Technology headquarters building.

As soon as he entered the building, Yuan Jingsong saw Li Zhou, who hadn't washed his hair and was wearing flip-flops, smiling and welcoming him.

"Old Yuan, your gear looks really cool, almost as handsome as I am."

The two people who followed Yuan Jingsong into the building couldn't help but twitch their mouths when they saw Li Zhou, who shamelessly praised his own handsomeness.

Yuan Jingsong wasn't surprised. Didn't he know what kind of person Li Zhou was?

What a joke!

"Where's my stuff?"

Li Zhou scratched his itchy scalp. To produce this Photonic Supercomputer ordered by the military, Li Zhou hadn't washed his hair for three days.

Li Zhou shot Yuan Jingsong a resentful glance and turned to leave, not looking back.

"Follow me."

Upon reaching -10F, Li Zhou looked at Yuan Jingsong and then at the two special forces soldiers following closely behind him.

Li Zhou's intention was clear: Yuan Jingsong alone was enough to go down.

Yuan Jingsong frowned, "You can trust them."

Unfortunately, Li Zhou was completely unmoved.

With no other choice, Yuan Jingsong had the two wait at -10F, while he and Li Zhou went down together to bring up this batch of "goods."

In the laboratory, looking at the photonic supercomputer before him, which appeared to be functioning normally.

Li Zhou gave Yuan Jingsong a look and then touched the photonic supercomputer.

"Old Yuan, I'll say this upfront. What I'm handing over to you now is a photonic supercomputer that I've debugged and tested, and it has no issues. I don't care what you do with it once you take it back, but if it malfunctions because you disassembled and reassembled it yourselves and couldn't put it back together, I won't be responsible." Li Zhou took a USB drive from his pants pocket and handed it to Yuan Jingsong.

"This contains the artificial intelligence. Once plugged into this photonic supercomputer, it will automatically install and activate. The USB drive can only be used once; it will self-destruct after use.

Friendly reminder, all artificial intelligences are like infants from the start. What that means, your experts understand better than I do. I imagine you wouldn't want one with a personality like Weixi."
