Chapter 756: Chapter 753: Supercomputer, Nuwa

Although it’s now after work hours, the office we just passed still had a few staff members on duty, but this corridor, along with the rooms outside of it, is completely empty.

The corridor ahead appears to be only about a dozen meters long, with gentle lighting. The light reflecting off the corridor walls actually has a metallic luster, meaning that this dozen meter-long corridor is entirely metallic.

"Why have we stopped, aren’t we going to see the supercomputer Nuwa?" Liu Wenxing asked, his eagerness to see the supercomputer evident.

"Nuwa is at the end of this corridor, just beyond that alloy door. Once we get through this corridor, we’ll be there," Miss explained.

Lin Tian frowned and scanned the corridor, asking, "You’re not walking immediately; could there be some trick to this corridor?"

"Indeed, this corridor is equipped with the most advanced recognition system, including iris recognition and gait analysis systems," Miss replied.

"Iris recognition I understand, and I’ve also seen it before, but it’s not the most advanced, I think. What is this gait analysis system?" Lin Tian inquired curiously.

"Gait refers to the walking posture of individuals; it’s a behavioral characteristic of humans. Gait analysis involves recording, observing, and analyzing the way the body moves using special cameras and scanning equipment, establishing a gait model, and extracting stable parameter features for computer analysis and recognition," Miss gave a rather theoretical explanation.

While the explanation was theoretical, everyone present was intelligent enough to understand after some thought.

Miss further explained: "Each person’s gait is as distinctive as their face, each one is unique. This uniqueness is based on the differences in each person’s physiological structure."

"Different shapes, muscle strengths, leg bone lengths, various centers of gravity, and nerve sensitivities."

"The special cameras and scanning equipment in the corridor identify these data from passersby. Nuwa analyzes them and compares them with existing gait models. If there’s no match, the person will be unable to pass through," Miss explained simply, omitting details on how exactly one would be prevented from passing.

Involved with advanced computer technology, Liu Wenxing couldn’t help asking, "How does the system prevent people from passing through?"

"There are traps within the corridor," Miss stated simply.

Liu Wenxing’s interest was piqued, and he wanted to ask more, but Lin Tian stopped him, knowing that as traps, their details must remain secret for them to be effective when needed.

Of course, Lin Tian knew that Liu Wenxing was not deliberately prying; he was simply excited and curious.

"I’m really... really sorry." After being pulled away, Liu Wenxing also came to his senses and quickly apologized.

"It’s alright, the corridor’s traps are dynamic. Even if you know about them in advance, they will have changed by the time you try to pass through," Miss said.

"Can one pass through this corridor by speed?" Lin Tian suddenly asked, curious. One of his strengths was his speed, so he was quite concerned about it.

"Impossible. If you exceed the prescribed speed, the system would immediately identify you as an intruder and activate the defense mechanisms," Miss said, glancing at Lin Tian with a faint smile, as if seeing through his slight ulterior motives.

Err, I was just asking, not actually trying to break through by force, Lin Tian muttered internally, feeling unconvinced.

"Sister, since it’s so formidable, how can we pass through it without proper authorization?" Miss asked, a bit troubled. Despite her family’s corporation owning such a powerful system, she, as the Second Miss, did not know how it worked.

"Wait for me to get through first, then do as I say, and naturally, you’ll be able to pass through," Miss said, and without further explanation, she stepped into the corridor.

She had only walked a few steps when a pleasant female voice suddenly echoed in the corridor: "Miss, have you arrived?"

Whose voice is this? In addition to the computer recognition, is there also a staff member in charge of human identification? Many questions popped into Lin Tian’s mind, and Xiao Manxuan and Liu Wenxing were also puzzled.

Without explaining anything, Miss walked the entire length of the corridor before turning back to Lin Tian and the others and saying, "You don’t need to worry. That was Nuwa speaking. She has successfully identified that it was me arriving."

Nuwa speaking? Lin Tian was more surprised now than before. It’s not strange for a computer to make sounds, but the voice he heard was too humanized, almost as if it was imbued with emotion, not at all like something generated by a machine.

Seeming to sense the confusion in Lin Tian and the others, Miss further explained: "Nuwa is an intelligent virtual character created by Xiao Group’s research and development team using a supercomputer. Her ’brain,’ or central processor, is the supercomputer here. Nuwa possesses extraordinary computation speed and intelligence. Don’t underestimate her just because she is a virtual character."

"Miss, I won’t mind their opinions, as misunderstandings arise from lack of understanding," Nuwa’s voice rang out again, soft and very humanized.

This is possible? Lin Tian was stunned; a virtual intelligence reaching this level of sophistication, what’s the difference between her and a human?

No, if she were to be endowed with a powerful body, even more formidable than a zombie, wouldn’t she reach the level of a deity? A divine soul coupled with a divine body.

Of course, Lin Tian had never seen what a god should look like. Is a god’s brain as powerful as a supercomputer’s computational capabilities?

Miss was used to it and found nothing strange, not even responding to Nuwa’s words but instead instructing Xiao Manxuan: "Xuanxuan, you go first. Walk ten steps forward and stop for the system to scan you."

"Nuwa, begin the scan and grant temporary access permission," she commanded Nuwa.

"Oh, alright," Xiao Manxuan agreed and cautiously walked ten steps forward, then stood still.

"Scanning complete. Gait model has been established. Temporary access permission granted successfully," Nuwa’s voice sounded again, this time more formal.

Miss motioned for her younger sister to come over, saying, "Alright, you can come now, next is Wenxing."

Xiao Manxuan was the first to pass through the corridor, arriving beside Miss, and then it was Liu Wenxing’s turn. He was even more cautious than Xiao Manxuan, hesitating a few seconds with every step he took.

Lin Tian could hardly resist rushing up to kick the guy. Was it that exaggerated? It’s just a computer; what’s there to be afraid of?

"Scanning complete. Gait model has been established. Temporary access permission granted successfully," Nuwa’s voice rang out, and Liu Wenxing passed through as well.

"Lin Tian, it’s your turn," Liu Wenxing called out excitedly after he passed.

What’s there to be excited about? It seems pretty straightforward, Lin Tian thought indifferently.

He did as Miss instructed, walked ten steps forward, and then stopped. Based on the previous two people’s experience, Nuwa should complete the scan and grant access within ten seconds.

However, this time a full minute passed, and Nuwa’s voice still hadn’t sounded. Miss frowned, about to call Nuwa.

Suddenly, Nuwa’s voice rang out urgently: "Unable to identify; non-living entity; danger..."
