Interesting "Candy"

The room, filled with a metallic texture and spanning over two hundred square meters, had a large central control screen on the wall. In the center were rows of desks with computers.

A team of thirty-six experts was working hard to crack the Candy wrapped in candy paper.

Due to lack of sleep, everyone's faces were filled with fatigue, their skin loose and dry. More than half of them had heads that reflected the light under the lamps.

After swiping his card to enter, Liu Yichong, like a grim reaper, walked directly towards a woman with a ponytail in the first row near the central control screen.

"Sister Qiao, Old Chen asked me to come and check on your situation. Old Chen said you've already spent two days on this. He also mentioned the supercomputer."

Liu Yichong hesitated for a moment and slowly said, "Sister Qiao, you should know without me saying that the supercomputer in the institute can't be used by you all the time. Other projects need the supercomputer for large amounts of data calculation, and tomorrow is the scheduled maintenance time for the supercomputer."

"The logistics department is also complaining. These two days, due to the supercomputer's saturated operation, the electricity bill generated from the power consumption alone has already exceeded this week's budget."

Everyone present heard Liu Yichong's words clearly. They were angry, but he was just stating facts, making it impossible to refute.

Qiao Shumin rubbed her temples and finally sighed.

"Everyone stop. There's no point in continuing with brute force cracking."

"Unless we know the principle of the author's encryption algorithm, let alone cracking it within a week, even a year might not be enough."

After Qiao Shumin finished speaking, everyone fell silent. The festive Candy on the big screen looked like it was silently mocking everyone.

Liu Yichong opened his mouth. He had only come to urge them, not to tell everyone to give up directly!

"Sister Qiao, this?" Liu Yichong's face showed difficulty.

"Just tell Old Chen that this software's encryption algorithm is as powerful as the Attitude Balance Algorithm he mentioned, and it's a new encryption algorithm that has never appeared before."

Liu Yichong's face showed surprise, and he nodded in astonishment.

"Okay."

"If possible, we'd like to meet this ruthless person who loves (and is insane about) designing algorithms."

After Liu Yichong left, Qiao Shumin, completely disregarding her lady-like image, slammed the keyboard hard.

"Damn it, what is all this?"

On the other side, back in the laboratory, after Liu Yichong whispered the situation to Academician Chen Xihe, the smile on Chen Xihe's face abruptly stopped.

When Chen Xihe heard that the encryption algorithm Mo Jingchun used was as powerful as the Attitude Balance Algorithm, he instead felt that it was perhaps right that it hadn't been cracked.

Chen Xihe couldn't help but smile bitterly. No wonder that little guy was full of confidence at the time. It turned out that guy had already dug a pit and was waiting for him, this old man, to jump into it.

It seemed he needed to talk to that little guy Mo Jingchun about cooperation to do specialized optimization for the Attitude Balance Algorithm.

Two days later, after practical testing of the multi-core project, it was confirmed that the Attitude Balance Algorithm designed by Mo Jingchun was on average 0.63 times more efficient than existing algorithms.

On the third day, Chen Xihe returned to the school from the institute. Along with him were a Lieutenant Colonel and a strong woman in a black suit.

Of course, Mo Jingchun, who was diligently listening to the lecture in the Classroom, didn't know that someone was already waiting for him to finish class in the Apartment Building.

Ding-a-ling-a-ling~

The class bell rang, and the students dispersed. Yang Xiaoyu looked at Mo Jingchun, who hadn't left yet, and walked over with her textbook.

Mo Jingchun looked up at Class Monitor Yang Xiaoyu in confusion and asked, "What's wrong, Class Monitor? Is there something?"

Yang Xiaoyu asked in a low voice, "Mo Jingchun, why haven't you given me your application form yet?"

"Application form? I didn't know about it." Mo Jingchun looked confused.

"For the student grant!"

Mo Jingchun was stunned for a moment before he reacted.

"Class Monitor, I wasn't planning on applying. Of course, there's no application form."

"Hey, no, why aren't you applying? It's several thousand yuan."

Yang Xiaoyu patted her mouth and explained again, "That's not what I meant, I just..."

Mo Jingchun smiled and interrupted Yang Xiaoyu.

"Class Monitor, thank you for your concern. I really don't lack money during college, otherwise, I would have gone out to do part-time jobs on Saturdays and Sundays."

"I'm leaving now, I need to go back and make milk for Candy."

Watching Mo Jingchun's retreating back, Yang Xiaoyu stomped her foot on the spot.

Mo Jingchun dropped a bombshell right away, how was she, as the Class Monitor, supposed to explain this to the Counselor and other classmates?

Everyone knew about Mo Jingchun's situation. When others received the student grant and only Mo Jingchun didn't, what would the classmates think?

Anyone's first reaction would be that there was something shady going on.

The more she thought about it, the more annoyed she became. Yang Xiaoyu stomped her foot in anger.

"So annoying, so annoying!"

Academician Chen Xihe hadn't returned, and Mo Jingchun had almost forgotten about this matter. There was nothing he could do, Mo Jingchun wasn't a computer, nor was he Nezha, he didn't have three heads and six arms, and he couldn't multitask.

Just taking care of the little one had already taken up most of his energy, plus daily studies and rewriting code, Mo Jingchun simply didn't have any more energy to think about why Chen Xihe hadn't come back to find him yet.

Returning to the apartment building, as soon as he stepped out of the elevator, Mo Jingchun was surprised to find that Academician Chen Xihe's door was open.

Driven by curiosity, before Mo Jingchun could take out his key to open his own door, he held his sister Candy and poked his head out to glance at the living room of Chen Xihe's house.

It would have been better if he hadn't looked, but with this glance, Mo Jingchun's face changed, and a national essence almost blurted out from his heart.

Emm, he didn't see something he shouldn't have, did he? There were soldiers there, and it seemed like an officer, but he didn't know how high-ranking.

Although Mo Jingchun only took a quick glance, the sensitive soldiers and the strong woman in a black suit inside the house looked towards the door almost at the same time.

Seeing the change in their expressions, Chen Xihe also looked towards the door.

Chen Xihe waved at Mo Jingchun, who was holding Candy, and said with a smile:

"Xiao Chun, come in quickly, we've been waiting for you."

Mo Jingchun walked into the living room awkwardly, like an unmarried young woman.

Qin Yuzhu, dressed in a black suit, took the initiative to pour Mo Jingchun a cup of tea and placed the teacup in front of Mo Jingchun with a warm smile on her face.

Before coming, they had already seen the information on Mo Jingchun and his sister Candy, which naturally included Mo Jingchun's photo.

Interestingly, Mo Jingchun's sister was named Candy, and the software program that looked like Candy was also what had kept Qiao Shumin and the others awake for several nights.

"Xiao Chun, come, let me introduce you."

"This is Lieutenant Colonel Zhang Aijun."

Zhang Aijun stood up and gave Mo Jingchun a military salute, which startled Mo Jingchun into quickly standing up.

"Hello, Zhang Aijun."
