Chapter 878: A Step Back for Each Other, A Frenzy to Win Over the Person!
Xiao He never expected that things would develop in such a different direction.
Xiao He was still pondering whether it was too far-fetched to blame all the hacking incidents on the AI system. However, the AI system he pulled out immediately attracted the attention of several senior professors. Within just two days, several groups of professors specializing in this field flew over to check the situation.
Xiao He's abilities were evident even before this.
The rapid development of Heguang Technology is enough to prove his own ability. He is also a top student who graduated from computer science. With the certification and guarantee from his teacher and the support of his patent achievements, people are now more concerned about his value as a researcher than Xiao He's value as a hacker. As a result, the police have not been as aggressive in their pursuit of the hacking techniques Xiao He used during this period.
Furthermore, Yan Zhengbai, the director from Shanghai, also leaned towards Xiao He, confirming that Xiao He had reported the matter in advance and had been given a certain degree of autonomy. Therefore, this matter could be either a big deal or a small deal.
It was at this moment that Xiao He belatedly realized how farsighted Sister Liu had been in paving the way for him.
If Sister Liu hadn't contacted him beforehand and reported the situation, and hadn't gotten through to Director Yan, Xiao He would have had a hard time getting away from the situation.
Even Xiao He's self-defense capabilities on the cargo ship were verified by Song Zhe, who had taught Xiao He martial arts and fighting skills. Song Zhe was Xiao He's teacher, and he had personally witnessed Xiao He's gradual progress during the teaching process. There were no other abnormalities; Xiao He simply had the ability to protect himself.
Upon closer inspection, others learned that Xiao He's teacher, Song Zhe, had been a special forces soldier who had participated in major missions, including a demanding job similar to an undercover operation. He was later wounded and retired, becoming Xiao He's martial arts instructor.
Song Zhe was undoubtedly a meritorious official, having earned numerous accolades. He was Xiao He's teacher, and it seems quite reasonable that he mentored a student like Xiao He.
Therefore, with various people acting as guarantors, the excuse of "reporting in advance" can allow both parties to back down and stop focusing their attention on Xiao He.
No one wanted to continue finding fault with a promising, highly capable young man who was favored by many professors at this time.
Moreover, compared to his own problems, the police and national security authorities are now more concerned about the three major organizers.
The Bao family used feng shui superstitions to amass wealth and were involved in serious issues such as human trafficking. The head of the Dong family was infiltrated by foreign forces and was trading viruses with two island nations, preparing to spread them. Although the He family did not appear to have any problems in the Xiang Sheng incident, it was precisely because they had no problems that the other two families naturally resented them for climbing over the other two families. So, after disembarking, they rushed to attack the He family, dragging them down with them.
Although the issues they are involved in are being investigated by different agencies—the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau (OCTB) first, followed by the Ministry of State Security (MSS)—with clear division of labor and objectives, countless leaders are still racking their brains over this.
There's no other reason than that, just like the Chen family back then, they can be taken down, but what needs to be adjusted afterward is the Hong Kong economy, which is also affected.
Moreover, it's impossible for them to condemn everyone from all three parties in one fell swoop. Among the people involved in the relevant interest chain, some are innocent, some are blinded by greed, some are turning a blind eye, and some are playing both sides, each with their own connections... Everyone has their own situation and their own judge.
This kind of investigation alone is destined to be a very long battle.
Therefore, Xiao He was not that important in this matter. If it weren't for the discovery of some problems with Xiao He during the investigation, he, as the great contributor to this case, would have left here long ago like Shu Han and Tong Junhui.
And now, Xiao He can indeed leave—
However, he was soon stopped by a group of professors.
The professors all had something to say to Xiao He about the Xiaohei AI system.
Among them were professors from the field of AI in Hong Kong, bigwigs who came directly from the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing after hearing the news, and even university professors who came all the way from Shanghai to testify for Xiao He.
They all learned about Heguang Technology and the Xiaohei System because of the case here, but the more they learned about Xiao He's Xiaohei System, the more alarmed they became, so they simply came to Hong Kong to find Xiao He's people.
If Xiao He hadn't been under police interrogation just a few days ago, they probably would have already moved into the National Security building and chatted with him for days and nights.
Not to mention that Xiao He is finally "free".
Everyone arrived right on time.
"Xiao He, your system is truly remarkable. It's an honor for Shanghai University to have such an outstanding talent as you. Would you be interested in returning to Shanghai University to participate in related research and development work? Or do you have any other plans for the future development of your Little Black System?"
"Teacher Xiao, in this case, I also saw that your system can even generate AI-imitated speech in real time. This immediacy far exceeds the effect of generating a single command. It's more like the AI is listening autonomously and reacting in real time. Does that mean that after training and adjustment, your AI can achieve a faster real-time feedback effect? Can you ask Xiao Hei how long its current response time is?"
"Mr. Xiao, how is the internal testing progress of your Little Black System? Do you need a larger and broader database to learn deep thinking? We can provide you with a better basic environment. Would you be interested in working in Hong Kong?"
"Xiao He, you may not know me, but Professor Ye from the Beijing Municipal Museum Restoration Center is a good friend of mine. You should have been familiar with our internal XI4.0 system before. Do you have any suggestions for improvement? Professor Ye always said that your system was better than ours, and now it seems so. Would you be interested in participating in the development of the latest version of XI at the Chinese Academy of Sciences? Perhaps we can combine the advantages and disadvantages of XI and Xiao Hei to usher in a new era of AI development—"
A group of people chatted amongst themselves, each holding onto Xiao He tightly, as if they wanted to drag him to work on their own turf right then and there.
Xiao He was pulled here and there, and cold sweat almost broke out on his forehead.
In fact, Xiao He only regrets one thing now.
—Why did he have such a brain fart and choose such an AI name?
It was clearly just a bit of a wicked joke at the time.
Now, hearing these words from the big shots and seniors, Xiao He inexplicably felt as if everyone was pulling him aside to talk about the crime system.
