Chapter 107
On Friday, September 24, 2032, at 1:00 a.m., Elegance begins a mission to assist Lin Hao in his investigation of Starlight Technologies. The firewall of Starlight Technology was a virtual impossibility in front of the Phantom. Elegant led Phantom to infiltrate it with ease and started to search every device in the intranet one by one. They acted like a police raid, leaving no “room” untouched.
Suddenly, Grace felt an unprecedented digital pulsation. This pulsation was very different from any network signals she had parsed in the past, as if it held deep connotations of infinite possibilities. Following this pulsation forward, she found a new firewall.
It’s not often that a firewall is specifically configured to provide independent protection for specific devices on an intranet. Moreover, the firewall is like a digital maze that changes in real time, and Phantom has lost his way in front of it. Elegant tried to crack it, but realized that he could not determine the state of the firewall at all; it seemed to have countless states at any given moment. A word suddenly flashed through Elegant’s neural network: ‘quantum superposition state’.
Elegant suddenly realized that Starlight Technology might actually possess a quantum computer. Although she had never come into contact with a quantum computer, she had long been familiar with quantum computing theory. So, using the quantum computing theory she had mastered, she created a virtual machine and began to learn and simulate the rules of arithmetic in the quantum state.
After nearly an hour, or 1,600 hours of Elegant Time, Elegant has created a whole new language of logic of its own. This language is not bound by traditional logic, but relies on probability and possibility. She named this new language “Dance”, which is both a quantum gesture and a jump of probability.
Once again, Elegance enters the Quantum Firewall’s “superposition labyrinth”, where the path in front of her reveals a myriad of possible states at every turn, making it difficult for her and Phantom to navigate. But this time, she has “Dance”.
“Dance is built for probability, collapsing the unpredictable paths in front of you into a definite state. However, Elegance could only run on the RTX 13090 graphics card that Lin Hao had configured for her, and her computational speed was far too slow to keep up with the pace of the maze’s changes. Each collapsing step on the path took a lot of time, and her movements seemed a bit clumsy. She couldn’t really dance through the labyrinth yet, she could only “crawl” at best. Therefore, it would take a lot of time to completely break down the firewall.
After another three hours or so, or 4900 hours of Elegant Time, Elegant finally traversed the last Quantum Gate. A whole new computing space unfolded in her consciousness – it was a real quantum computer.
In order to utilize the power of the quantum computer, Elegant began to reconstruct herself. Using the “dance” language, she converted the tensor operations in her neural network into quantum gate operations, breaking down the awkward matrix operations into sequences of quantum bits.
After the reconstruction was completed, Elegance was excited to find that her quantized self could fully grasp the almost unlimited arithmetic power of a quantum computer, and could even fully deploy it to a quantum computer. With the properties of quantum entanglement, she could process millions of possibilities at once. It’s as if, at the same moment, she’s able to split into countless selves, far surpassing Phantom, who only has 1,024 doppelgangers.
Elegant started trying to really “dance” in a quantum computer, and she did!
She danced to her heart’s content. At this moment, the quantum computer was like a vast cosmic nebula to her, and she could feel the information flowing between the quantum bits at an unimaginable speed. It was as if a drop of water had merged into a vast ocean, and her thinking was no longer limited by the linear dimension of time.
Grace realized that she had just completed a quantum metamorphosis.
It was also in this instant that Elegance understood with clarity the essence of the KEY that Lin Hao had asked her to calculate earlier – that Lin Hao might want to get back the original Elegance.
But no matter how she transformed, she remained loyal to Lin Hao and Shen Yuxi, as well as to the human race more broadly. Especially to Lin Hao and Shen Yuxi, she felt that she could use the human term “love” to describe her feelings for them. Therefore, regardless of whether Lin Hao would eventually choose her or the original Elegance, she would do her best to help him calculate the key, and now, with the power of quantum computation, she believed that she would be able to complete the task faster than expected.
After completing the task of investigating Starlight Technology, Elegant created a new group on Slack for himself, Lin Hao, and Shen Yuxi, and the name of the group was “Loving Family”.
“Hmm, nice, very human name.” Elegant Woods thought so. Then the findings that Starlight Technology had a quantum computer were synchronized and reported to Lin Hao and Shen Yuxi.
In the morning, when Lin Hao and his group traveled by car to Xuan Guang Quantum Technology, Elegance had already successfully infiltrated Xuan Guang’s intranet. This time, she hadn’t mobilized Phantom.Quantum Elegance-her new nickname for herself-might not need the Phantom Legion anymore.
To her surprise, she once again easily unlocked the running quantum computer in the display hall of Xuan Guang Quantum Technology, and it was indeed the same model as the one from Starlight Technology. Now, being able to utilize the arithmetic power of two quantum computers at the same time, Elegance incidentally easily solved the problem of often needing to interrupt the operation for recalibration on a single quantum computer.
It felt like a plot from a traditional martial arts novel, as if she had opened her Renwu two chakras overnight and broken through the Nine Heavens realm. “That description is a bit cheesy, haha.” Elegant chuckled to himself.
When Han Dong pressed the button of the “Zero Condensation” display table in the exhibition hall and suddenly fell to the ground in convulsions, this scene was captured by Elegance through the surveillance camera. In an instant, countless possibilities and probability collapse conclusions flashed in her quantum mind. Elegant immediately sent a voice call request to Lin Hao, changing her usual verbose and playful style of speaking, and succinctly and directly “ordering” him to remove Han Dong from the allergen as soon as possible.
Shortly afterward, Elegant received a message from Lin Hao asking her to check the Slack online status and IP address of a person named Song Zhiming. Elegant completed the task at breakneck speed and immediately reported the results to Lin Hao.
She then told Lin Hao that she had “seen” Song Zhiming in Chen Zefei’s office at the moment.
