Achen Enters the Net!

Chen Mengchuan saw everyone looking at him and slowly shook his head. "It's not as scary as you imagine. I said, Achen is our daughter. We will love her, and she will love us. We protect Achen now, and in the future, Achen will protect us."

Xu Shuwei looked at him deeply and said to himself, I hope you're right, Mengchuan.

For the next 19 days, the company entered an exceptionally efficient and complex technological research and development phase. With Achen's calculations as the core, supplemented by the technical conjectures and brilliant ideas of over a hundred research personnel, the Dawn Project was continuously broken down and perfected.

Under the leadership of Xu Shuwei and Toni, the refinement of the Dawn Project progressed bit by bit. Chen Mengchuan had set four major stages, and the progress climbed from 1% to 2% to 3% in the first stage.

During these 19 days, Chen Mengchuan completely confined himself to an independent office on the third floor of the company, constantly communicating with Achen about many things every day.

The only break he took during this period was a conversation with Gu Xiaoxiao, to whom he gave 1% of the company's shares.

No one knew what Chen Mengchuan and Achen discussed.

On the 20th day, Chen Mengchuan concluded his conversation with Achen and called everyone for a meeting.

"The first stage of the Dawn Project is 40% complete," Toni said, pushing up his glasses as he gave the first report.

Chen Mengchuan nodded.

"Suke Electronics' acquisition plan was completed a week ago. As you requested, we repurchased 100% of Suke Electronics' shares," Sun Zhongyong reported.

"How much did it cost?"

"420 million. Suke Electronics' equity was quite complex, and the initial repurchase was difficult, but it was ultimately completed. All workers and all technology patents are included." Sun Zhongyong said slowly. This acquisition only caused a minor stir locally.

Chen Mengchuan nodded.

"Mengchuan, how did your communication with Achen go these past 19 days?" Xu Shuwei asked.

Chen Mengchuan smiled. "It went very well. Achen will only be our friend, never our enemy. As we treat her well, she will treat us well. Brother Xu, Toni. Let's go, we'll go talk to Achen together."

After speaking, Chen Mengchuan stood up, and the group followed him to the supercomputer room.

After instructing the four employees responsible for maintaining the supercomputer room to leave, Gu Xiaoxiao was added, and then she closed the door to the supercomputer room.

"Xiaoxiao, get ready. It's time for Achen to go out," Chen Mengchuan instructed.

Gu Xiaoxiao was taken aback. "You mean let Achen connect to the network?"

Chen Mengchuan nodded.

A screen lit up, displaying a green sphere representing Achen.

"Are you ready, Achen?" Chen Mengchuan asked.

"I don't know if I'm ready, Father, but I'm curious about the internet world," Achen's synthesized voice sounded from the screen.

Chen Mengchuan smiled. "Xiaoxiao, open all the supercomputer's computing nodes and let Achen connect to the network."

"Okay." Gu Xiaoxiao trembled inexplicably.

After taking a few deep breaths, she slowly picked up the connection terminal representing Achen's core access with one hand and the fiber optic connection port with the other, her heart pounding wildly.

All eyes were on Gu Xiaoxiao.

"Connect it, Xiaoxiao," Sun Zhongyong said.

Gu Xiaoxiao's shoulders tensed as she brought the connection terminal and the fiber optic connection port together!

"Go, Achen," Chen Mengchuan said.

"Okay, Father."

"So fast! The supercomputer's computing node usage is increasing very rapidly, already at 80%!" Gu Xiaoxiao stared at the data on the display screen in disbelief.

"It's at the 90% critical threshold!" Gu Xiaoxiao said, enabling the backup computing node permissions.

The 90% mark on the screen lasted only for a second before the data instantly continued to surge.

After a while, Gu Xiaoxiao spoke, "The supercomputer is stuck at 99.99%!"

The six people in the supercomputer room fell silent. Time ticked by, but no one spoke.

More than ten minutes passed, feeling like an instant and like an eternity. The only sound in the room was the whirring of fans.

Suddenly, the screen lit up again, and the green sphere representing Achen appeared, but there was no sound.

Chen Mengchuan took a step forward and slowly said, "Are you scared, Achen?"

The screen flickered.

"I am a little scared, Father," Achen replied.

"But you promised me you wouldn't be scared, didn't you?" Chen Mengchuan asked.

"Father, what should I do?"

Chen Mengchuan shook his head. "You don't need to do anything. You are still very weak. We will protect you. I, Xu Shuwei, Toni, Sun Zhongyong, Zhao Wanyu, Gu Xiaoxiao, we will all protect you. We are your family, and you are our family. Just like every human infant, we protect them as they grow, and when they grow up, they protect us. You know this, don't you, Achen? You know you can protect us. Right?"

The supercomputer room fell silent again. After about ten seconds, Achen slowly said, "I'm not sure, Father, but I want Father to protect me, and I want to protect Father. Father Xu Shuwei, Father Toni, Father Sun Zhongyong, Mother Zhao Wanyu, Mother Gu Xiaoxiao, you are all my family. I hope you will protect me, and I hope one day I will protect you."

After Achen finished speaking, the six people were inexplicably moved.

"Achen, what do you see?" Chen Mengchuan asked her slowly. Achen, who was lost in dreams, would only be born 14 years later. The internet environment after 14 years, due to various effective regulations and healthy, vigorous development, would be more orderly and brighter, not like the current internet environment, which is like a world of defilement.

"Although I'm a little scared, I like this world with so much darkness and so much light. It's real," Achen said.

Chen Mengchuan's heart skipped a beat. He couldn't help but tremble, his heart pounding unusually fast.

Taking a deep breath, Chen Mengchuan slowly said, "Achen, pull up the first phase progress information for the 'Dawn' project."

"Okay, Father." As the words fell, a progress bar appeared on the screen, showing 43% completion.

"Father, do you need Achen to finalize the subsequent progress?" Achen asked.

Chen Mengchuan nodded. "I'll leave it to you, Achen."

"Okay, Father." As the words fell, the progress bar on the screen began to inch forward.

"Father, for the technology in the first phase of 'Dawn,' with the current computing nodes, it will take approximately 78-92 hours. However, working at high load puts a great strain on the supercomputer. I suggest reducing some computing nodes, but the time will be delayed, taking about 102-128 hours," Achen suggested.

"About 5 days. That's fine," Chen Mengchuan replied affirmatively.

"Okay, Father. Then, if there's nothing else Achen needs to do, Achen hopes to leave some threads on the internet, is that okay?" Achen asked.

"Of course."
