Divine Wisdom Tower.
A key scientific research institution in Tai Tai Prefecture, a joint research and production base for artificial intelligence, and a special research institution approved in the Institute of Information Technology's second batch.
It was a massive scientific research industrial park covering more than fifty thousand mu. At its center stood a five-hundred-meter silver-white tower, while transport drone swarms worked through the night, carrying containers back and forth along designated routes, continuously pouring resources into this world.
In the morning, after finishing their last cup of coffee, the researchers would head to their workstations. Perhaps they would pause in the corridors to exchange a few words with familiar colleagues, but no more than five minutes later, it would all end. Everyone was giving it their all, hoping to earn even the faintest chance of reaching the future.
They shouted. They believed. They existed.
Newly produced papers and theoretical expositions, the practical application of every new technology, the arduous path from theory to engineering products. The foundations upon which the Council of Knowledge advanced toward the future were born from countless sleepless days and nights.
Reinforcement learning, intelligent control, algorithm iteration, network architecture, updates to frameworks and protocols.
The road had no end.
They could only move forward.
They had to move forward.
"—Mm."
Song Shi opened his eyes.
"Is this..." Sensing the subtle changes in the surroundings, he made his judgment. "Pretty accurate. Exactly depth 4."
Not far away, Ai Lu and the others had also risen to their feet.
The freezing wind howled in from every direction. As far as the eye could see, there was nothing but pure white—endless frost and snow.
Even the sky had lost its color, taking on the pallor of a snowy river as snowflakes drifted down with soft rustling sounds.
