Chapter 3180 He Cannot Live
Oxford, Britain.
The heavy snow started falling last night and, overnight, the entire city was pristine and quieted down from its usual hustle and bustle.
Adam stood under the tree, his gaze falling on the snowdrifts not far away, where snowmen were being built and a group of laughing children were around them.
Further away, under the trees and outside the houses, everything was covered in white, like a beautiful fairyland.
He was like a guard in a fairyland, protecting its order and maintaining its safety.
Crunch crunch
I heard the sound of footsteps crunching on the snow behind me. Judging from the sound, the person coming must be quite heavy.
"I knew you'd be here."
Sure enough, William's voice followed, and then he came up and stood in front of her, his belly protruding and his clothes looking like a bear's tail.
"Oh, is that little Arthur?"
"She doesn't seem like a girl at all."
William watched as a little girl chased after a group of boys and couldn't help but laugh.
The little Arthur he mentioned was Professor Adam's granddaughter.
Adam had a son and a daughter, but his son died in a car accident a few years ago.
There were no children left at home.
My daughter is a relatively unknown actress, but she's always out acting, though I don't know if it's true or not.
As for his granddaughter, he didn't know who her father was; perhaps Adam would know.
However, he couldn't ask too many questions about such matters, but Adam showed all the love he had for his daughter to his granddaughter.
After all, there were only three of them left in the whole family.
It could be said that little Arthur was everything to Adam.
"She was just as mischievous as her mother was when she was a child."
Adam smiled, and his face showed even more wrinkles.
After a moment, Adam looked at William and asked, "What brings you out into the snow?"
"Of course, I wouldn't have come out if there was nothing wrong."
William said matter-of-factly, then tightened his coat and rubbed his nose, which was red from the cold, before saying, "Didn't we say before that we would promote computer research?"
"Someone from above asked about the progress."
"Above? Which above?"
"Who else? Those councilors."
Adam sneered and ignored him.
William quickly stepped forward and said, "You know, last time we bought a lot of Dawn One satellites from China. When those congressmen found out about this money, they were surprised and asked why we spent so much money."
"Then they started showing interest in our research progress."
"Well, speaking of our progress, I'd also like to know where we are?"
Adam was heartbroken to see his granddaughter being chased by several boys, falling down and sprawling on the snow, only to get up and continue running.
Upon hearing William's question, he casually replied, "It's already been figured out."
"You've figured it out?"
William's voice suddenly rose eight octaves, then he asked urgently, "How is it? How's the effect?"
"How's the performance?"
Little Arthur, with a snowball in each hand, started chasing the boys again.
Adam looked away and said seriously, "The computer we made is better than Dawn One, but the operating system is still under development and will take some time."
"Operating system? Is that difficult?"
William gave me a look that said, "Don't try to fool me, I'm not well-educated."
After all, there was a computer on his desk, China's Dawn No. 1.
It's quite convenient for him to use. Although it's in Chinese, he can still switch to English input mode on the keyboard by simply changing the input mode.
Besides that, information was relayed by school teachers, which was slow but much simpler than walking.
As for the phone?
That thing costs money.
He didn't have much contact with other things.
Therefore, in his view, this kind of operating system should not be too difficult to exist.
Adam laughed when he heard the question, but it was a bitter laugh.
Is it difficult?
“William, sometimes I really want to cut your head open and stuff an encyclopedia inside, so your brain capacity will be bigger and you won’t ask such idiotic questions.”
William was already used to Adam's sharp tongue.
He can even better understand the other party's attitude.
Just like now, he understood the problem at hand, and it was difficult.
"Okay, so how long will it take before we can use our own computers?"
"It will take some time."
Adam listened, took off his hat, patted off the snow, and put it back on before saying, "An operating system is used to manage computer hardware and software, and to create this system, you need to use a programming language."
"The 'Wei Language' used by China's Dawn 1 satellite is a programming language."
"The earliest programming language in our country should be the one on the Mark I, and then the more advanced one is the CPL language from Cambridge."
"However, if you want to use it on a computer, this CPL language needs to be modified and reset."
"Otherwise, the operating system we create may not be able to execute instructions effectively, and such a computer would be useless."
After Adam explained, William finally understood the priority relationship.
"In other words, we need to create a programming language first, then design an operating system, and finally we can produce our own computer, right?"
Upon hearing this, Adam nodded.
That's the relationship, no doubt about it.
"How much more time do we need?"
Adam lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then gave a vague answer, "It will probably take about half a year."
"Half a year?"
"At least six months." "Oh, okay, then I'll tell those damn men a year, leaving six months as a buffer."
"I think it's okay."
Adam shrugged and said, "That way I can do it even better."
"That way, we can also find that missing milligram."
When William mentioned that one milligram, he also looked disappointed. Just as he was about to say something, a crunching sound came from behind him.
The two turned around at the same time and saw Mrs. Mary walking towards them, wrapped in a white fur coat.
“Mary, you should be inside the house.”
William stepped forward to help Mrs. Mary up, but his sycophantic manner made Adam turn his face away, not wanting to acknowledge him.
When they got closer, Mary ignored William and looked at Adam instead.
“Professor Adam, I just got a call. John, whom I contacted last time, is coming over immediately.”
"He should bring what we need."
Upon hearing the news Mary brought, Adam immediately turned around and walked back.
Seeing this, Mary took a deep breath and then quickly followed.
William, however, kept glancing at the two of them, because his male intuition told him that Mary was pursuing Adam.
Just like now, the man walks in front, and the woman chases after him.
Then what am I?
William, who had been doubting himself, quickly felt relieved and then hurried to catch up.
The three arrived at the office, where a middle-aged man with a crew cut, dressed in a black suit, was already standing outside.
It was the John that Mary had mentioned.
"The three of you, it's been a long time."
John greeted him with a smile, holding a file folder in his hand.
Adam nodded. "I've been waiting for you for a long time. It's great to see you."
The two shook hands, and John smiled and said, "You must be very happy to see this."
He picked up the file folder and waved it between the two of them.
"I think we shouldn't stand in the hallway."
William then spoke, and the four of them went into the house.
As soon as they sat down, Mrs. Mary went to make coffee, and William said with a smile, "You should really like the intelligence we've sent this time."
He handed the file to Adam, saying, "Professor Adam, I must say, your student is outstanding."
"It's unbelievable that a complete novice, who has not received any training, could obtain information that even the best can't get."
"Our director was shocked when he learned about this, and he was thinking about whether he should learn from you."
John smiled, while Adam merely glanced at the documents he had taken out and casually replied, "It's precisely because there's no training that they're more easily accepted."
"but!"
Adam looked up. "Don't interfere in this matter. The more you pay attention, the more dangerous it becomes for him."
John nodded repeatedly upon hearing this. Since they weren't one of their people, he didn't care about anything other than sending out intelligence.
After saying that, Adam started looking at the documents.
As he quickly browsed through the pages, Adam felt proud of his students.
Because this student is truly outstanding.
Having just returned to China, he's already getting access to core industries; wouldn't his future achievements be even greater?
Then he saw a sentence that he found unbelievable.
Returning overseas students are unable to access core research.
this.
How is he supposed to play now?
Then I saw Wang Zihao's request in the letter.
John, is this what you came for?
Adam placed the file on the table and then looked at John beside him.
John smiled and nodded. "Yes, that's one of them."
“Professor Adam, as you have seen, to enter the core of the other party, we must first break down this wall before we can enter the core.”
"And right now there is an opportunity."
After saying that, John took out a small gray gourd from his pocket.
"Dean Mary, this is a special medicine that our people worked hard to send out. It's used internally in China and we believe it will be helpful for your research."
Upon hearing this, all three of them turned their attention to the gray gourd on the table.
Mary reached out and took it, then weighed it. "It seems to be a bit heavier than the golden gourd."
"I'll take a look."
After saying that, Mary didn't even bother to thank them, and immediately picked up the gourd and walked out.
John shook his head, then looked at Professor Adam again, "We'll lend a hand. As for whether the other party can take this opportunity to enter the core, that depends on his abilities."
Adam understood John's meaning. He didn't want to get involved in other aspects, but he believed that his students would be absolutely capable in terms of technical skills.
"Don't worry, my student is excellent and will definitely be able to seize the opportunity."
John smiled upon hearing this, then nodded and said, "So, Professor Adam, do you have any other plans?"
Adam listened and thought for a while before saying, "A little."
"If we have the opportunity, we should try our best to bring this person back."
"I think this person has a big secret."
I thought the other party would readily agree to this request, but to my surprise, John showed a helpless expression.
"Professor Adam, you may have misunderstood me."
John said seriously, "The other party's identity is very sensitive. We can only resolve this through covert means, otherwise it will affect our reputation."
"Moreover, many forces are eyeing this person. It's possible to eliminate him, but it will be very difficult to bring him back alive."
After John finished speaking, Adam took a deep breath. "In that case, let's deal with this man. We can't let him live."
"As you wish."
After John finished speaking, he got up and left.
William and Adam didn't see each other off, but instead ran quickly towards the research lab, wanting to know the difference between the gray gourd and the golden one.
