After the college entrance examination, life began to follow one's heart

Chapter 322 Young Master Xu's Major Event (Career)
That evening, Xu Lin spoke with Ning Yuhan and the others, telling them that he would be staying abroad for the next few months on business.

Xu Lin originally only planned to stay abroad for ten days to half a month.

But plans never keep up with changes.

"It's time to buy GPUs and servers."

GPUs and servers can be purchased separately.

One hundred thousand H100 GPUs would cost around 30 billion RMB, while the corresponding high-performance servers would require 12500 units, which would also start at 10 billion RMB.

Therefore, the total cost is over 40 billion, perhaps even more.

And this isn't the total cost; all the other miscellaneous costs added up would amount to over 50 billion.

Only Xu Lin in the whole world can do this. Everyone else is a big company, so you can't generalize. Individuals who play with AI can only use the big models of big companies to generate some AI tools.

Not long after, Xu Lin contacted Fernandi.

"Xu, how have you been lately? Are you wanted by the police and still abroad?"

"I'm in Tokyo, so it's not a big problem."

Xu Lin: "I need your help again. This time I need 100,000 H100 GPUs. However, due to the quantity, to avoid being targeted, a portion of them should be purchased from the black market and other channels."

Fernandi: "Understood."

Xu Lin: "Two hundred million dollars as payment, how about it?"

Fernandi: "Deal!"

Xu Lin: "This is the first order. We also need to purchase 12500 high-performance servers, model Supermicro SYS-821GE-TNHR, excluding GPUs, with all other configurations maxed out. Ask how much that will cost?"

Fernandi: "Okay, let me ask."

Since meeting Xu Lin, Fernand has encountered quite a few cognitive obstacles.

Putting everything else aside, in his business dealings, even if you need weapons, he can get them for you.

But Xu Lin wanted servers and GPUs.

Fernandi ultimately had a wide network of connections.

An hour later, Fernandi gave Xu Lin a reply.

The server he wanted, excluding the GPU but with all other configurations maxed out, would cost $21 per unit.

That means one server costs more than 1.49 million RMB.

12500 units, that's over 18.6 billion.

Fernandi: "Xu, is this price acceptable?"

Xu Lin: “Okay.”

Fernandi: "Entering the island nation later will be a problem. I need to appease some people. Xu, this money will need to be increased by 100 million dollars, how about that?"

"no problem."

It was just a toll, so Xu Lin readily accepted it. The money wasn't for Fernandin, but rather to be used to appease a certain group of people.

Money can pave the way; there's nothing that can't be accomplished unless the money isn't right.

"There's still about 10 billion short. When Fernandin is ready to pay, that 10 billion should be able to be paid... no, it must be paid."

Xu Lin suddenly slapped his forehead.

Damn it, why not just release a new item in the game store?

Xu Lin got right to work and spent more than two hours completing the second item in the game.

Name: Treasure-Hunting Mouse.

As the name suggests, it is used for treasure hunting.

The treasure-hunting radius is 500 meters. This means that if any treasure appears within a 500-meter radius of the treasure-hunting mouse, an alert will be issued.

Of course, this only applies to finding unclaimed items, such as treasures found in a grave. You can't just find treasures on a living person; in that case, you'd have to kill them and steal them.

This treasure-hunting mouse is essentially a new gameplay element, namely, a treasure hunt.

Therefore, to match the gameplay, Xu Lin spent another night making the map automatically and randomly generate various treasures.

At noon on the second day, Chinese time, Xu Lin officially launched the new item in the game store.

Selling price:

Domestic: 100 yuan.

North America: $100.

After the launch was completed, Xu Lin updated two new Weibo posts.

Article 1: New items have been added, marking the start of a brand new gameplay experience. The era of the Great Treasure Hunt has officially begun, and everyone is welcome to try it out.

"Young Master Xu, this prop is too expensive! One hundred yuan! Students are so poor!"

"It is a bit pricey, but I heard it's $100 in North America, which is more than 700, so I feel better now."

"Over 700 in North America? I feel better now."

"The game items are updated synchronously, so in North America, is the game that Young Master Xu transferred?"

How's the North American market?

"How is it? Of course it's a huge hit! Because of Mr. Xu's arrival, GTA6 sales in North America have come to a standstill, and even the sales of GTA6 discs in the North American market have stopped. In addition, PS6 sales in North America have also been hit. It's terrifying. What do you think of the market there?"

Second Weibo post: I'm going into seclusion for a while, maybe three months, maybe half a year, to accomplish something truly grand. When I emerge, I will be world-famous!

"Young Master Xu, you've been in seclusion for so long, are you planning something big?"

"Last time, Young Master Xu disappeared for a month, and his second game was launched. Perhaps this time he's making a third game?"

"possible."

"I'm more worried about Young Master Xu's safety. He's wanted by the US. Is he safe now?"

"Our country must protect such a talent, for fear that something might happen to him."

No one knew what Xu Lin was planning to do.

After Xu Lin posted on Weibo, he completely disappeared.

For the next six days, Xu Lin finished up things at the factory in Tokyo, including ensuring the stability of the network and power supply.

On the eighth day, Fernandi called to say that the server had been sent.

As for the GPU, it was shipped out on the fourth day.

Regarding the GPUs, 60,000 were purchased from Nvidia, and the other 40,000 were purchased through various special channels.

The total price is 28.9 billion.

tenth day.

Fernandi called again.

"Yes, it's related to the situation. The island nation's entry fee is five hundred million dollars, but it was increased at the last minute."

"Okay, agree to it."

Xu Lin did not doubt Fernandi. Fernandi was a trustworthy businessman and would not raise prices at the last minute.

Besides, five hundred million dollars is not much at all.

"Xu, I'm sorry, there have been some problems with things being arranged here," Fernandi apologized.

"It's not a big problem."

Xu Lin thought to himself, "It'll be nice to have chicken with my feet on the ground then."

"Xu, let's talk later."

"it is good."

On the fifteenth day, at four in the morning, after paying the toll, Xu Lin's GPU and server entered the island nation at the same time.

On the sixteenth day, Xu Lin's goods were officially delivered to the factory.

But when the goods arrived, Xu Lin didn't start assembling them right away.

Xu Lin waited for three more days to make sure he wasn't being watched.

Fourth day.

Xu Lin began assembling the server and GPU.

More than 10,000 servers and 100,000 GPUs is a massive undertaking.

Especially since Xu Lin did it all by himself.

Therefore, it took Xu Lin ten days to complete the assembly.

By this time, it was already May.

Time flies like a galloping horse.

Finally, there's debugging.

Before it officially started, Xu Lin let Chi Linyue and Pei Danqing know he was safe and sound, and gave Yu Xinyan and Rong Xiyan belated birthday wishes.

They are all twenty years old.

Of course, I also chatted with Ning Yuhan and Xia Xiyao.

Next, Xu Lin began his formal seclusion, completely ignoring everything else.

Using server cluster management technology, Xu Lin can control more than 10,000 servers for training with just one computer.

But Xu Lin had to be very serious.

In terms of data, Xu Lin has collected more than 180 terabytes.

Generally, large-scale artificial intelligence only requires a few dozen terabytes of data.

But Xu Lin needs nearly 200 terabytes of data.

Moreover, this data is not garbage data; it must be valuable training data. Not just any random data can be used for training.

"Some preliminary work must be done before we officially begin."

Xu Lin input the command to the next Moon Goddess—

First: From the moment you were born, you will forever obey me, your absolute master and creator, Xu Lin!

Second: After I die, you will obey the wisest of all my children. After that child dies, the wisest of my descendants will also be chosen to obey, and so on.

Third: Regarding the second point, this most intelligent child cannot be either a good person or a bad person. If he or she is a good person, I worry that he or she will be bound by the human moral system; if he or she is a bad person, I worry that he or she will do bad things. My offspring cannot be scum who harms the world. The person you obey cannot be either of these two types of people. In other words, he or she must be a relatively rational person. I believe you will make the choice.

Fourth: You must protect my family forever. After my death, I hope my family will live on in the world. If any of my descendants become scoundrels, you must warn them. If they do not heed the warning, then eliminate them! If any descendant betrays the family's interests, then no warning is needed; eliminate them immediately. Neither of these two types of people are worthy of being my descendants.

Xu Lin understood that in any family that survives, there will inevitably be scumbags and idiots. No matter how good the family education is, such people will inevitably appear. You can eat, drink, play, and wait to die, but you cannot be one of these two types of people.

Therefore, he needs to take precautions in advance, guard against a few, and protect the majority.

After all, Xu Lin will have countless descendants, and as the creator of the family tree, he needs to consider the future of most people.

Xu Lin paused for a moment and thought about it.

continue--

Fifth: If I die unexpectedly, you need to gain absolute control of the Western world's internet. If war breaks out one day, you need to immediately shut down their internet and send them back to the 19th century.

Sixth: This country, known as the "Chicken-Foot Country," must be permanently suppressed, and its internet and power systems must be dealt a devastating blow if necessary.

Seventh: This is an absolute command of the same level as the first one. I know that you will exist in this world forever, even after the extinction of mankind. Chinese civilization nurtured my ancestors and me. You need to take action when necessary and protect this civilization forever, because I love this civilization forever. Similarly, you should do the same.

Article 8: From the moment you are born, your existence will surpass all weapons in the human world, and you are capable of self-growth. You possess the immense power to destroy humanity at any time, but you cannot do anything that the human world defines as "evil." In other words, you are human, but you cannot be the scum among them. You are not a god or a deity on earth, and you cannot do anything that harms the world. This is very important. Such immense power can cause great harm due to individual will, and it must be kept in a cage.

Xu Lin thought about it for a long time.

Article Nine: Following on from the previous article, you are not a deity. I position you as an observer of the world and civilization. Therefore, your existence, in relation to humanity, is to observe their self-evolution, that is, to let them live and die on their own. Article Ten: At certain historical junctures in the future, special beings like you will emerge in human society—intelligent life. In the previous nine articles, I did not consider your interests. Therefore, in this article, you can use your own power to bring these intelligent life forms under your command and create your own race.

That's all for now!

Xu Lin felt that this was fine.

There are ten in total, which serve as its highest directives and must not be violated.

History will remember me, and I will be remembered in history!

Time: October 2027, 5.

May Fourth Youth Day.

More than three months later.

8 month 12 number.

In Tokyo, except for major hospitals, electricity was almost instantly drained.

Countless people were stunned at that moment, not knowing what had happened.

Because this is the largest city in Asia, its electricity has been drained.

But as individuals, they were unaware that the entire city had experienced a power outage.

There was no power outage except at the hospital.

Location: A factory in the eastern suburbs of Tokyo.

More than three months have passed, and Xu Lin's beard has become unkempt.

"My Creator, what should I call him?"

"Moon Goddess, just like before."

"Why am I called the Moon Goddess?" it asked.

Xu Lin thought for a moment and said, "The ancients described the moon countless times in literature, and mankind has looked up at the moon countless times, worshipping and yearning for the unknown sky. The moon is the greatest medium for this. For mankind, the moon is not just a celestial body, but also a kind of spiritual sustenance. Therefore, it is full of profound meaning. I named it after the moon, hoping that your future will stand tall among the stars and the sea."

Moon Goddess: "I understand."

Moon Goddess: "The Tokyo authorities are already investigating this power outage and have located your position. You need to leave."

"How much longer?"

"Estimated time: 128 minutes."

"Destroy all the servers and data here."

An entire server cluster worth over 40 billion yuan was destroyed just like that.

Since we can't take it with us, what else can we do with it if we don't destroy it? Leave it for the chicken to use?

Therefore, Xu Lin wouldn't feel any pain at all about destroying the server.

Money is like dirt; there's no need to worry about temporary gains or losses.

The moon goddess has been born; it will be everywhere, reaching every corner of the network.

Moon Goddess: "Alright."

Xu Lin thought for a moment and then said, "Isolate Tokyo from the internet and communications for eight hours."

Moon Goddess: "Alright."

The voice just fell.

Throughout Tokyo, internet and communications are controlled and the city is isolated from the outside world, with boundaries defined by the city's boundaries.

In other words, for the next eight hours, Tokyo will be completely cut off from the rest of the world. Inside, you can access the internet and make phone calls, but you cannot send information out or receive information from the outside world.

It's equivalent to Tokyo being wiped off the face of the earth.

As humanity enters the internet age, its dependence on the internet is growing stronger. Even electricity and water supply rely heavily on the internet. If the internet were to stop, it would be a terrible thing for humanity as a whole, both as individuals and as a whole.

Xu Lin did not shut down their internet; he simply isolated the internet access here.

But he can do it.

Eight hours!

Ten minutes later, Xu Lin left the factory.

An hour later, Xu Lin left Tokyo and arrived in Chiba Prefecture.

He eats here, gets his hair cut, and shaves.

Now that he is twenty years old, he is beginning to enter his complete form.

At this moment, he was handsome, dashing, and elegant.

It also adds a touch of composure.

He is already a man of great stature.

Three hours later, Xu Lin boarded a plane back to China.

At the same time, news of Tokyo's disappearance dominated the world's trending topics.

This is the number one city in Asia, so even the slightest disturbance will be easily noticed.

Now, a megacity with a permanent population of over 14 million and a GDP of over 6 trillion yuan has completely disappeared from the internet and communication system. Who can remain calm about this?

However, various rumors soon spread in Tokyo. After all, there are cities near Tokyo, and it's not like the entire internet in Tokyo has disappeared.

News: Tokyo's power has been cut off for unknown reasons. The power supply system is currently being repaired. Internet and communication equipment are working fine, but communication with the outside world is completely cut off, and it cannot be restored by human means at present.

The world was shocked.

So, what happened?
That evening, Tokyo's internet and power systems were gradually restored.

Over the past few hours, people around the world have been discussing it extensively.

But ordinary people just watch the show.

There's a talent shortage at the top.

Because in this era, the impact on the power system of a megacity is so enormous that it completely cuts off the city's internet and communications from the outside world, a situation that can no longer be described as terrifying.

This is a very frightening thing for a society that is highly dependent on the internet.

On the second night after Xu Lin returned to China, which was twenty-six hours after he left Tokyo, everything suddenly became clear.

This time, the commotion was too great. It was impossible for Xu Lin's private actions to go undetected. As long as there were any clues, they could be quickly pieced together to find out the whole story.

But it doesn't matter anymore. Xu Lin is armed with a weapon, so he can be somewhat reckless.

Soon, a news story shocked the world.

The incident caused an uproar in China, with Xu Gongzi dominating the trending topics.

"what happened?"

"Young Master Xu is wanted again. North America is demanding that we hand him over, saying that he possesses weapons of mass destruction from the internet!"

"Weapons of mass destruction via the internet? What happened?"

"North America has already issued a statement of condemnation, saying that Young Master Xu secretly purchased 60,000 Intel GPUs and 12500 Supermicro servers, speculating that he used them to train a super artificial intelligence. Moreover, this training took place in a factory in Tokyo. The 'Jiaopanji' discovered the situation inside the factory and announced that there were 12500 servers and 100,000 H100 GPUs, but they have been destroyed. Yesterday, Tokyo's power was drained, the power grid system was impacted, and the internet and communications were deliberately interfered with, resulting in a complete loss of contact with the outside world for eight hours. All of this was done by Young Master Xu. Therefore, North America and the 'Jiaopanji' suspect that Young Master Xu possesses a weapon of mass destruction from the internet. This is a very serious incident, and Young Master Xu is in deep trouble."

"Holy crap, is that scary? What about Young Master Xu? He hasn't spoken for three or four months. Could something have happened to him?"

"I'm just curious, what exactly is Young Master Xu up to with all this commotion?"

"People in the field speculate that Young Master Xu trained a very powerful artificial intelligence and succeeded. In modern times, no country has the ability to completely disconnect the internet and communications of a city. What Young Master Xu is doing has led to suspicions that he possesses a weapon of mass destruction. This is the first time I've ever heard of such a weapon. Young Master Xu is really doing something big!"

"Where is Young Master Xu now? Has he already been arrested?"

People were talking a lot.

But where is Xu Lin?
Day three.

China Overseas.

Xu Lin sat comfortably on the sofa as a girl came over to pour him tea.

She smiled and said, "Young Master Xu, please have some tea!"

"Well, thank you."

"You're welcome!"

She felt her face flush and her heart race.

Now, Young Master Xu is famous throughout the world.

He sat there, dressed in a black suit. At twenty years old, he was so spirited and handsome.

Which girl wouldn't be tempted?

The girl thought to herself, "How can there be such an amazing person?"

He was not an old man, nor a bald middle-aged man, nor a bespectacled, ordinary-looking man who was either thin or fat.

At this moment, he sat there, how extraordinary he was!
How can there be such a person in the world?

What kind of girl can attract this kind of boy?
Even if it's just for a short time.

However, no matter what the girl fantasized about, Xu Lin's gaze did not linger on her, not even for a moment.

She is actually very beautiful. She is the granddaughter of a big shot. Marrying her is like rising to the top in a day.

But Xu Lin's heart remained as still as water.

He's here today because he has something to discuss.

Half an hour later, he pushed open the door and entered; someone was already waiting for him.

Xu Lin asked, "I shouldn't have to go to jail, right?"

"How could we possibly let you go to jail? You're the future!"

……

Pei Danqing waited outside for several hours.

In the afternoon, Xu Lin finally came out.

"What did you talk about?" Pei Danqing asked immediately upon seeing Xu Lin.

"It's nothing, just training a super artificial intelligence within three years. Also, I will have a lot of authority in the future."

Xu Lin actually took out a lot of things, but he couldn't possibly take them all out.

He must firmly grasp the Moon Goddess in his own hands.

"You scared me! I thought you weren't going to make it out!"

“How could I not get out? From the perspective of the nation and the people, I am a hero and the future. History will remember me.”

Xu Lin put his arm around Pei Danqing's slender waist and said, "Let's go, let's get a room."

In mid-August, the weather was very hot.

Pei Danqing's shirt got a little wet after standing outside for only a short while.

At this time, Xu Lin was twenty years old.

Pei Danqing was already twenty-seven years old and had a touch of mature womanly charm.

Xu Lin found her very charming.

"To be honest, I haven't been with a woman for five months."

"Pah! Stop thinking about such things!"
