Chapter 139 -s 138, 139 – What Bad Intentions Could a Parrot Have? (Seeking Subscriptions, Monthly Votes)_2
After Barry found a Yellow-naped Amazon parrot to be its host, it could control the parrot to communicate with itself!
The parrot continued, “I have said, humans are inferior creatures and will become extinct sooner or later. This Blue Star, this Solar System, will soon become the paradise of our Zerg.”
“Why act like a lapdog begging them to take your research seriously? They won’t believe you, they’ll just think you’re crazy!”
“Even if you announce my existence to the world now, they would certainly think it’s you, the mad scientist, who created me, and then they’d imprison or kill you for crimes against humanity!”
Barry remained unfazed, saying, “The process of seeking truth is destined to be lonely and arduous. Just like Copernicus, who defended the truth with his life! I have the determination to be a martyr!”
“You want to be a great man?” the parrot said, “That’s easy, I know the advanced technology of the Zerg. As long as we cooperate, you will be the greatest scientist of humankind!”
“And I, I just need you to help me grow, it’s that simple!”
“Dream on!” Barry remained unmoved.
The parrot continued to entice, “Even if you don’t help me, other Zerg will evolve. They are much more at ease in the oceans than I am.”
“Look at me, I’m no threat at all. What evil intentions could a parrot have?”
“But my kind, they are much more terrifying. They are gigantic, your nuclear bombs, aircraft carriers, fighter jets are just toys in front of them! There are even beings that can devour an entire planet!”
“You refuse to cooperate with me and you’ll die all the same!”
Barry remained unmoved and zapped it with a microelectric gun, causing the parrot’s feathers to stand on end.
“Sooner or later you’ll beg me!” it cursed, “Everything you do is futile! No one will believe you!”

In Shen Zhou, at the Quantum Computing Research Institute of Beijing University of Science and Technology.
He Xingzhou was discussing the material issue of quantum computers with the researchers.
“Building a semiconductor quantum computer is the most appropriate choice at the moment since our semiconductor technology is already world-leading!” Min Jie suggested.
“A superconducting quantum computer performs better!” He Xingzhou said.
“But we can only use low-temperature superconductors, which consume too much power and can’t control so many qubits.” The researchers pointed out.
“Then use room-temperature superconductors!”
“Room-temperature superconducting materials have yet to be developed worldwide.”
Superconducting materials refer to conductors whose resistance is zero at a certain temperature. They also possess complete diamagnetism and flux quantization, making them one of the essential materials for quantum computers, being incredibly significant in advanced manufacturing!
Currently, most of the world’s superconducting materials are either high-temperature superconductors or low-temperature superconductors. Under the regular atmospheric pressure and temperature conditions on Blue Star, no material has yet been found that exhibits superconductivity.
“Then let’s modify the existing materials!” He Xingzhou proposed, “Everyone knows about magic angle graphene.”
“Introducing a twist in the crystal orientation between two stacked layers of graphene can drastically alter the material’s electronic properties, achieving superconductivity at a certain angle!”
“My materials team has recently been researching how to create similar room-temperature superconductors, and I believe results should come soon!”
“With room-temperature superconductors, we could certainly create a superconducting quantum computer!” Min Jie remarked, pointing out that solving the quantum error correction problem in quantum computing made other issues relatively easier.
…
Research on quantum computing continued to advance.
Two months later, the materials lab successfully developed a room-temperature superconducting material. This new material was immediately put into the development and manufacturing of superconducting quantum computers.
During this period, there was another technological breakthrough.
A civilian team specializing in holographic projection technology announced that they had developed the technology, heralding a new trend in display technology!
He Xingzhou paid a bit of attention, noting that the team leader was a thirty-year-old middle-aged man named Bi Jianzhang, an optics PhD.
Their success also benefited from the advances in all aspects of technology in Shen Zhou at present.
Upon Bi Jianzhang’s success, it immediately attracted a lot of capital interest. Soon, he announced the establishment of a company to vigorously develop holographic projection technology.
He Xingzhou had no energy to pay much attention to commercial affairs.
He constantly traveled back and forth among various research institutes. In the deep-sea exploration research group, Liu Tianhu’s team made some progress, indicating that they had roughly located the Zerg concentration area in the Mariana Trench.
However, they still encountered difficulties in the development of deep diving devices.
In the midst of busy work, time flew by quickly.
Before long, it was August, more than two years after the Xuanwu Plan was proposed. Reports about mutant creatures in the country were increasing, while abroad, it seemed as if people lived on a different planet, with no reports surfacing at all.
What puzzled the Xuanwu Executives was that according to He Xingzhou’s previous inference about Zerg genetic evolution, there should have been a large number of Zerg by this time period.
However, these alien creatures hadn’t caused any major disturbances. Even in the Sakura Sea area, there were only occasional reports of mutant creatures harming people.
The Worldwide Marine and Mutant Creatures Research Organization stated, “Mutant creatures are just a large-scale genetic mutation phenomenon, and they won’t have too much impact on the ecological environment and humanity.”
In response, He Xingzhou had only one thing to say: “It’s often calm before the storm!”
…
Inside the Quantum Computing Research Institute, a burst of cheers erupted.
“A ‘New Nine Chapters’ was born today!” Min Jie exclaimed, looking at the small shoebox-sized case in front of him.
Inside this case was their research achievement, the world’s first fully technologically mature superconducting quantum computer.
It used room-temperature superconducting materials to create quantum chips, with He Xingzhou and the team completing the computer design together.
Its operating system was an improvement from the original quantum operating system, “Si Nan.”
As for its name, the origin of “New Nine Chapters” was due to the fact that the Science and Technology University had previously made an optical quantum computer called Nine Chapters.
“Nine Chapters of Mathematics” was an important book in the ancient “Ten Books of Arithmetic,” representing the complete formation of ancient mathematics in Shen Zhou.
The team unanimously agreed that this name had a good connotation, so it was retained to distinguish from the previous prototype, hence this new one was called the New Nine Chapters superconducting quantum computer.
The birth of the New Nine Chapters did not have any press conference held.
He Xingzhou believed that the Zerg crisis was on the verge of breaking out, and there was no need to waste energy competing with other places at this time.
“It wouldn’t hurt to annoy Beck a little!” He Xingzhou laughed, “We can test the computing power using their released testing software.”
“That sounds good!” Min Jie laughed.
They opened a mathematical software, released by Beck and his Quantum Computing Research Association, to test computing power. It essentially solved three basic matrix calculations, with the computer conducting countless floating-point operations every second, and the software recording the number of floating-point operations to determine the computing power of the computer.
The software also had a leaderboard listing the most advanced supercomputers in the world.
The team first secretly sent a message, or rather a “thank you letter,” stating, “Through the team’s relentless research, we have finally achieved a significant breakthrough in quantum computing.”
“Here, we would especially like to thank Dr. Becker and his team for providing the quantum error correction plan.”
The message contained just those two short sentences, which Shen Zhou’s netizens couldn’t quite understand yet.
“What does this mean? Have we developed a quantum computer?”
“I don’t know, even He Xingzhou hasn’t posted any updates.”
“@Planet Builder, why aren’t you updating?”
Someone speculated, “It should be a technical breakthrough, but the technology is confidential and inconvenient to show!”
“They’ve made a breakthrough? What a joke!” Beck, seeing the message, initially didn’t believe it. “The plan we released before was basically a dead end; it’s impossible to research a quantum computer from it!”
“They’re releasing a smokescreen to confuse us!”
As he was saying this, an assistant reported, “Doctor, we found out their quantum computing research institute is logging into our quantum computing testing software!”
“Hmm? Why would they use our testing software and not cover their IP address? Are they doing this on purpose for us to see?” Beck immediately realized that it was definitely intentional on their part.
He said, “Since that’s the case, open the software back-end and let’s see what tricks they’re up to?”
