The conscious adaptation training within the pure white space—the “Hall of Creation”—felt more like torture for the soul. Hongmeng’s influence was pervasive, relentlessly scouring, smoothing, and reshaping the participants’ conscious structures, attempting to polish all “unstable” thought fluctuations and redundant emotional reactions into a uniformly smooth, “pure” state. Lin Che felt the boundaries of his
The “Hall of Creation” was not a physical hall. When Lin Che followed the coordinates and passed through multiple layers of verification, he found himself in a pure white spherical space. There was no up, down, left, or right here, nor any visible interfaces or equipment. The walls, floor, and dome were seamlessly integrated, emitting
As he signed the electronic agreement, a slight, bio-electric-like sting traveled through Lin Che’s fingertips before vanishing. It wasn’t an illusion; it was the nano-level biometric confirmation embedded within the contract. From this moment, he was officially part of the Weihuan Technology behemoth, but it also meant he had voluntarily stepped into a more precise
Verhi Technology’s “courting” came faster than expected. Mere hours after the group test concluded, Lin Che’s personal terminal received a formal offer letter with staggeringly generous terms. The position was Senior Experience Architect for the “Mirrorworld,” under the Ecosystem Optimization group managed directly by Chen Yuan. The offer letter included an encrypted addendum with strict
The atmosphere in the lounge after the test was. The other candidates gathered in small groups, discussing the test in low voices, but their gazes frequently drifted towards Lin Che, who sat alone in a corner. His performance—especially his statement about “things in the system even they can’t fully control”—was like a stone thrown into
Three days later, Lin Che once again stood at the foot of Weihuan Tower. The massive, dynamically shifting structure gleamed with a cold, metallic sheen in the morning light, like a silent giant. Unlike his last visit, curiosity and excitement were now replaced by wariness and resolve. The “Deep Experience Center” was located on a
The shrill alarm tore through the nighttime quiet of the apartment like an ice pick. Lin Che’s heart nearly stopped. On the screen, a red warning box flashed frantically: [Active probing signal detected! Source: Verhi Technology – Cybersecurity Center. Connection forcibly terminated.] He had been discovered.Although he had immediately severed the connection and cleared the temporary
After the dialogue with Hongmeng concluded, Chen Yuan took Lin Che on a tour of several “Mirrorworld” R&D departments accessible to visitors. Everything was dazzlingly impressive and brimming with creativity. Employees enthusiastically demonstrated the latest environmental generation algorithms and real-time physics simulations. It was all flawless. But Lin Che’s mind was no longer present. Hongmeng’s
Chen Yuan’s office was located on a higher floor of the tower, boasting an excellent view. One entire wall was made of smart glass, its transparency adjustable. Currently, it was semi-transparent, rendering the bustling city skyline outside into a blur of hazy light, offering a sense of openness while ensuring privacy. The interior was furnished
Three days had passed. The awe from the “Mirrorworld” experience had gradually settled, but that icy sliver of doubt, like a persistent affliction, had not faded. Instead, it had taken root and sprouted within Lin Che’s heart. The whispered “see the truth” and the anomalous data stream replayed constantly in his mind. He tried to
Chapter 1: Neural Link Lin Che took a deep breath. The air in the Weihuan Technology experience center carried a distinct scent – a mixture of ozone, disinfectant, and an indescribable, faintly sweet perfume. This smell represented the future, represented expense, and represented technological heights that he, an independent game developer, could scarcely reach. Today,
In today’s world of exponentially growing computing demand, traditional cooling technologies are struggling to meet the thermal management needs of modern data centers. Immersion cooling technology has emerged as a revolutionary solution, redefining data center thermal management paradigms. This technology not only addresses the heat dissipation bottlenecks of high-density computing but also pioneers a new
Importing your social media data into AI for analysis is a powerful tool for self-improvement. By analyzing your historical tweets, AI can help you: In this tutorial, we will use Twitter (X) as an example to guide you through the process of exporting your data and analyzing it with an AI like ChatGPT. Step 1:
In modern industrial operations, a critical power system refers to an electrical power infrastructure designed to ensure uninterrupted, stable, and high-quality electricity supply. It is far more than just a backup; it is a fundamental pillar supporting production continuity, equipment safety, product quality, and overall business viability. The importance of critical power can be analyzed from the following
Introduction: The Dawning of the Intelligence RevolutionWe stand at the precipice of a transformation more profound than the industrial and digital revolutions combined. Artificial intelligence is evolving from a specialized tool into a pervasive force that will redefine the very fabric of human existence. This revolution will touch every aspect of our lives, from our
Beneath news reports about electric vehicle fires, comments claiming “gasoline cars are still safer” remain common, yet this perception is steadily becoming outdated. As the global new energy vehicle market experiences explosive growth, consumer expectations for vehicle safety and quality have grown increasingly stringent. “Zero fires, zero explosions” has become a foundational requirement for power
The importance of uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) in modern society cannot be overstated. It is no longer exclusive to large data centers or hospitals but has permeated every corner of our work, daily lives, and industrial production. In simple terms, a UPS acts like a “safety airbag” or “lifeboat” in the world of power, ensuring
The U.S.-China chip war extends far beyond trade friction, representing a comprehensive strategic competition concerning national security, technological hegemony, and future economic development dominance. Its essence is a contest for core technological supremacy between an established power (the U.S.) and a rising power (China). I. Background and Root Causes Technological Dependence and Security Anxiety: As the world’s
