CHAPTER 757: CHAPTER 247: EVERYTHING IS READY, JUST WAITING FOR NOTIFICATION

In a spacious office in a building in Beijing.

An elderly man finished signing the last document on his desk, filed it, then stood up to stretch his body. He casually asked the secretary who was tidying up nearby, "How’s the situation on Dr. Qiao Yu’s end?"

"Dr. Qiao Yu is organizing a large-scale operation," the secretary replied jokingly.

"Oh?"

"Leveraging the advantages of both the Yanbei and Huaqing University, he first had engineers from Chenlong Super Cloud quickly retrieve code and set up a framework for a cryptocurrency exchange.

Because this side is unconditionally cooperating with Dr. Qiao Yu’s work, they directly retrieved the security framework from the supercomputer storage over in Linhai.

Subsequently, he mobilized a team of network security testing engineers, with the help of relevant departments, to conduct tests on various security nodes of the cryptocurrency trading process. He even used AI technology for it.

Feedback indicates that Dr. Qiao Yu indeed provided some highly innovative tools, which pleasantly surprised the engineers. However, I’m not clear on the specifics of the innovation as it involves many technical terms, and the formal report won’t be completed until at least tomorrow."

"Is it still his Quantum Simulation Calculation?"

"It should be. According to the information collected over this period, the Quantum Simulation Calculation technology pioneered by Dr. Qiao Yu has not only gained recognition in the academic world, but the engineers have also given mostly positive feedback."

After listening, the elderly man nodded, gazed slightly dazedly at the calendar beside him, and with a sigh, said, "A hundred years have passed in the blink of an eye. Thinking back to a century ago, the Northern Expedition War had just officially begun. At that time, no one had the patience to listen to us.

Today, a hundred years later, our young people are no longer willing to remain silent. When they want to speak out, everyone has to listen carefully. It’s not easy indeed!"

The secretary slightly nodded and immediately agreed, "The elder has long said that as long as the stage is set, someone will definitely come up to perform."

The elder smiled and said, "Individual talent and effort are both indispensable."

After pondering for a moment, he said, "In that case, have the secretariat draft a proposal for me. In future, issues involving academic and technological competition in the research community should not require meetings for discussion unless they involve extremely significant issues.

We should give young scientists more autonomy for development, without too many constraints. Especially without worrying too much about so-called negative international influence.

In the past, we didn’t have the conditions for this, but in this era, let’s not burden our younger generation to dance in shackles on a ready-made stage!"

"Understood, Commander."

...

In the office of the Yanbei International Mathematics Research Center, Qiao Yu was in an unusually excited state.

This was actually his first time going up against the outside world, and his opponent was a world-class high-tech company, a veritable giant.

This allowed Qiao Yu to finally experience the pleasure of battling against the heavens and the earth...

After all, the previous confrontations with Frank were really child’s play for Qiao Yu. They weren’t on the same level at all, just like Qiao Xi said, he stood on high ground and couldn’t even see where that guy was.

With just a few words, he turned the other into someone truly homeless.

He hadn’t even exerted any effort, and the other side had no chance of surrender before being unable to resist.

But this time, the situation with Microsoft was clearly different. He had already made concessions, yet the other side not only refused to surrender but even wanted to launch a counterattack, which made Qiao Yu feel his adrenaline starting to spike.

This world is never short of cowards who only think about how to escape when faced with problems, which makes someone like Qiao Yu, who gets excited when faced with strong enemies, seem a bit perverted.

However, Zheng Xiweng interpreted this as the competitive spirit of a seventeen-year-old. After all, he had also been that age.

Zheng Xiweng still remembered that when he was in his teens, he was fearless. If a dog barked at him, he’d cheekily go up and kick it. It wasn’t for any other reason than to let even the dogs know that he was the most powerful in the world...

So, in Zheng Xiweng’s view, what Qiao Yu is doing now is essentially no different from kicking a dog at his age. Except that Qiao Yu’s realm is much higher than his.

Although it might be somewhat impolite to compare Microsoft to a dog, Zheng Xiweng felt the logic was the same. Most importantly, he didn’t need to care about what Microsoft thought.

"How’s it going?"

Noticing that Qiao Yu had finally taken his eyes off the computer screen and stretched heavily, Zheng Xiweng, who had been staying up all night with Qiao Yu, asked.

To be honest, Zheng Xiweng felt he was probably the most bored person tonight. Everyone had something to keep them busy, except for him who stayed at the safest place to guard Qiao Yu, ensuring he wasn’t disturbed.

He didn’t even dare to check his phone, afraid the noise would disturb Qiao Yu who was strategizing. He could only stare at some text endlessly, passing the time.

Most of his attention was still focused on Qiao Yu.

Although he didn’t understand those complex mathematics and technical issues, he knew how to read expressions. Sometimes observing the changes in Qiao Yu’s expressions was more interesting than looking at those dull text combinations. Especially in this situation today.

"Let’s put it this way; the results are better than I expected. The engineering team that President Zhang arranged for me this time was very capable. And those in security are all talents, each able to deduce by analogy with rich experience. They know more than I do.
