Chapter 1110 431: Two Ways to Eat a Fish_2

"When facing the unknown, first learn to convince yourself with the idea that existence is rational. This way, you can calmly confront it, think about the principles behind it, instead of giving up and blaming it on storytelling, sighing 'incredible' and leaving it at that. To move forward, we must maintain a thirst for knowledge and an ambition to explore all unknowns."

At this point, both Sun Miao and Hua Yuelan, as well as Tang Shuying, who was only there to listen, completely understood Ren Zhong's point.

Ren Zhong started asking, "Hua Yuelan, among everyone I trust, you are the most outstanding programmer. Now, let's set aside Sun Ai being a person and consider her as a virus invading the intelligent brain, one that is occupying more storage space by continuously self-replicating while competing with the original system in the intelligent brain for hardware control. What can we outsiders do to help the virus achieve an overwhelming victory? Additionally, we have a backup system at hand..."

Ren Zhong then succinctly summarized the situation introduced by Ma Zhongfei.

Hua Yuelan thought for a long time, "If Sun Ai is really just a virus, then we actually can't do anything. We can't cut power to the system, nor can we write information into it. So we can only watch and wait. But Sun Ai and the 'Net' both have their own active consciousness, not purely computational programs. Then, we can actually try to first contact Sun Ai individually and let her use her virus ability as a carrier to write shutdown and formatting programs in the 'Net's' computing module, and then execute them."

"As for the method of communication, naturally we need to use the external control system on the Tracker Spaceship you mentioned. But you also said earlier that the frozen Elder once tried to forcibly start the formatting program, which the 'Net' and Sun Ai jointly stopped. This indicates that forced formatting would not only wipe out the 'Net' but also erase Sun Ai's consciousness. The result would be mutual destruction, with the ultimate winner being the backup system of the frozen Elder, and everything would return to its original state."

"So we need to find a way to preserve Sun Ai's consciousness, allowing us to format only the 'Net's' data. We need to provide powerful computing power from outside and separate the mixed data of Sun Ai and the 'Net' to protect Sun Ai. But there's another issue, which is Sun Ai completely programmed and datafied herself before entering the 'Net'. To protect Sun Ai, we need to help her recover memories of being human, and her emotional attachment to these memories. Mr. Ren, Mr. Sun, and Miss Tang Shuying should play important roles in this aspect."

The whole process is somewhat akin to when a computer is severely infected with a virus, shutting down the Windows system, and then starting the ghost system for a forced antivirus operation.

The key difference is not to eliminate the 'virus', but to eliminate the system itself.

After listening to Hua Yuelan's analysis, Ren Zhong clapped his hands appreciatively.

Indeed, professional matters should be left to professionals.

Although Ren Zhong is also a decent programmer with a lot of imaginative creativity, compared to professionals like Hua Yuelan who have been dedicated to one thing for many years, his system integration thinking is still lacking.

The four of them discussed again and further explored multiple possibilities based on Hua Yuelan's ideas, then finalized some specific details.

The focus and difficulty gradually shifted to obtaining more powerful computing power.

According to Hua Yuelan's calculations, to perfectly meet the requirements, the computing power we possess must be at least one-tenth of the "Net" to achieve sufficiently precise calculations and cooperate with Sun Ai to execute instructions specific to each small computing module, while also enhancing Sun Ai's computing ability, suppressing the 'Net's' resistance, and then guiding the 'Net's' intelligent core system to shut down voluntarily and stop operations.

Ren Zhong pondered for a moment, "We now have the method to use human brains to create a fake net. According to my original plan, we just need barely enough and rely on slowly recruiting volunteers to eventually meet the standard. But the current situation doesn't allow us to proceed step by step, so..."

In the previous timeline, Ren Zhong had pulled two hundred million people from the Underground City into hell countless times, with the goal being to obtain more computing power.
