"Oh?"
Meng Hao spoke with such confidence.
All the high-ranking officials present at the family banquet, including Elder Ouyang, turned their gazes back to Meng Hao.
One must know.
Software code is different from technological research and development.
As long as one is still confined within the various computer languages like C++ and Java used by humans, it is impossible to achieve a radically new coding system.
In other words.
If one were to cook with ingredients unknown to aliens, perhaps dishes incomprehensible to humans could be created.
However.
If one were to cook with ingredients from Earth, no matter how brilliant the chef, the dishes could only innovate in appearance, aroma, and taste, and could not break out of the scope of human cuisine.
What's more.
If code programming were to be likened to cooking.
It must be admitted that the United States is currently the strongest nation in the field of code programming.
Seeing all eyes on him, Meng Hao calmly reached for a plate of food that was farther away and took a few bites.
After swallowing the food in his mouth, Meng Hao smiled and spoke again.
"Everyone, aren't you curious how I managed to bring the submarine back?"
Hmm?
Why is Meng Hao's train of thought so disjointed?
Also.
What does a submarine have to do with that brand-new new energy vehicle?
However.
Meng Hao's change of subject did pique everyone's curiosity.
"That's right."
"How did you bring the submarine back?"
"Even the simplest submarine, unless it's a small one with a range of only a hundred kilometers, it's impossible for an individual to drive it over a thousand kilometers."
Seeing that everyone's attention was temporarily diverted,
Meng Hao explained calmly.
"Let's not even talk about this submarine's stealth capabilities..."
"In fact, the most impressive thing about this submarine is its operating system..."
Following that.
Meng Hao explained the birth of the artificial intelligence called "Wen Qu."
Of course.
Meng Hao would never reveal that Wen Qu was exchanged from the system.
"Wait."
"You're saying that the control system in this submarine is actually artificial intelligence?"
"Currently, even our most powerful artificial intelligence cannot achieve driving an entire submarine back."
Indeed.
The artificial intelligence created by current human coding technology is, to a large extent, still in the stage of "artificial intelligence, retardation," capable only of simple responses or performing simple tasks.
And Meng Hao said.
That the artificial intelligence he created could drive a submarine back from Australia, over a thousand kilometers away.
This completely subverted humanity's definition of artificial intelligence.
"Perhaps my description was a bit off."
"To be precise, it's no longer artificial intelligence."
"It's an artificial code life form with self-awareness!"
Hiss!
Everyone collectively gasped.
They knew Meng Hao was monstrous, but they didn't expect him to be this monstrous.
He had actually re-created artificial life... What was the difference between this and the legend of Nuwa creating humans in Eastern mythology... or God creating life in Western mythology.
Meng Hao.
This was exercising the ability of a creator.
Seeing the exclamations rise and fall.
Elder Ouyang, out of sync, interrupted everyone's amazement.
"Meng Hao, your existence is indeed heaven-defying..."
"Your introduction to the events of the past six months has made us feel as if a new world has opened up with every word..."
"However, this old man must interrupt. Creating a new life form is indeed astonishing to the whole world, but how does this directly relate to what you said earlier about the new energy vehicle absolutely not being able to be used by the US to curb our economy?"
As expected of Elder Ouyang.
He always managed to hit the core issue of the matter directly.
Meng Hao smiled faintly.
"Artificial life... I call him Wen Qu... he is different from our traditional cognitive forms..."
"He can replicate himself infinitely and load his copies into any of our human technological products..."
"From large computers for massive computations to our smartwatches, he can optimize and load into them based on different computing systems and carrying capacities..."
"What's more, these copies only possess relatively primitive artificial intelligence... Of course, they are much more powerful than the 'artificial intelligence, retardation' created by humans... Simply put, all the copies worldwide are Wen Qu's本体 (ben ti - original body)."
Meng Hao paused.
He then revealed the most crucial point.
"And the control code I designed for the new energy vehicles for the US and Test Company is actually a copied replica of Wen Qu's..."
"And these copies can proliferate limitlessly as these cars are continuously produced..."
"Of course, the US can also remove my operating code for security reasons, but the consequence of doing so would be the direct paralysis of the vehicle..."
This was like organ transplantation.
No matter how advanced the medical technology, no matter how skilled the doctor, it is impossible to completely eliminate transplant rejection.
After a while.
Thunderous applause erupted at the family banquet.
"Meng Hao, you have far surpassed our imaginations..."
"In other words, as long as these cars have the faintest signal, your Wen Qu system can remotely control them..."
"Causing these cars to completely paralyze, or even self-destruct, is that what you mean?"
Meng Hao nodded at Elder Ouyang's interpretation.
That's right.
That's exactly what he meant.
One must know.
This is an information age.
Wherever humans exist, there are always remote signals and information data transmissions.
It is not impossible to achieve complete shielding of external signals.
However, a car whose signals are completely shielded can only exist in a laboratory with an installed shield... In that case, what would be the point of such a car?
"Wait."
"You're saying that besides artificial intelligence, that submarine also has stealth capabilities?"
"Oh my, Meng Hao, you always bring us so many surprises."
"Where is this submarine currently located?"
Finally, someone realized that the submarine was also an extraordinary existence.
In response to the inquiries from the high-ranking officials.
Meng Hao revealed the submarine's location.
"Hey, it's still stored at the Guangdong Military Region?"
"That kid He Yu is really cunning."
"When he reported earlier, he only mentioned Meng Hao's whereabouts and didn't mention the existence of this submarine at all. I suspect this kid plans to get there first and extract some technology from this submarine to strengthen his military region."
Elder Ouyang said with a smile.
Then, he immediately instructed his subordinates to bring the submarine to the Kyoto headquarters.
After three rounds of wine.
After five courses.
The family banquet was drawing to a close.
"We have a meeting this afternoon, so let's drink a little less!"
"After the meeting, we'll drink until we drop."
"Meng Hao, do you need to rest for a while?"
Seeing that everyone had eaten enough, Elder Ouyang asked Meng Hao with a smile.
