121: Chapter 121 Upgrading the Eagle Eye System!

The next day, 7:30 AM.

Wang Shuo stretched, stood up from beside the computer, and looked at the sky outside that was gradually brightening. He sighed slightly; it was another sleepless night.

"Zero, finish making the parts as soon as possible. I need to know the specific performance."

"Very well, sir."

Wang Shuo nodded with satisfaction. After such a long time of working day and night to perfect it, Zero was moving closer and closer to becoming a true Artificial Intelligence.

Looking at the display of Zero's core source code now, one would notice that it had grown considerably. Many of the surrounding nodes were lighting up one by one, and the whole thing looked just like a large neural network.

This was the essence of Zero's algorithm, and it was the reason Wang Shuo concluded that if Professor Zeng were given another ten or twenty years, he could create a true Intelligent Core.

The only problem now was the processing speed, which limited Zero's performance.

Wang Shuo also had a solution for this, and the solution was in the small notebook in front of him.

Staring closely at the materials and steps in the notebook, Wang Shuo rubbed his chin and fell into deep thought.

"Sir, Director Jiao is calling."

"Put it through."

...

Police Station, first floor.

This was a huge space covering nearly 400 square meters. Whether it was the console in the center of the room or the giant curved floor-to-ceiling display screen in front of the console, everything indicated that this room was extraordinary.

This was the main control room of the W City Eagle Eye System.

Director Jiao was sitting here, expressionless. His heavy, composed presence made his subordinates feel nervous, and they walked with extra caution.

"Why did the Director suddenly come to the control room today? He doesn't usually come here," a female police officer quietly asked her companion.

She was a duty officer in the control room and usually sat in the seat Director Jiao was currently occupying. Now that Director Jiao was here, she could only stand to the side.

"Shh, be quiet."

Beside her was a male police officer, also a duty officer in the control room. He lowered his voice and said, "The Director hasn't been in a good mood these past two days because of the kidnapping case. Let's not get in his way."

"The kidnapping case?" the female officer asked, puzzled. "Didn't Bureau Chief Li find the photo yesterday and give it to you to compare?"

"It's not that easy." The male officer sighed. For this matter, he had worked overtime all night, checking all the comparison pop-up windows, only to find that they were all false positives.

This made him want to vomit blood. Could this system get any more absurd? Even if the person was wearing a mask, you couldn't mistake a 220-kilogram fat man for the suspect, right?

And besides, if it couldn't make a match, fine, but who set it so that anything with a matching probability over 70% required manual verification?

Was there no professional ethics left?

Looking at the male officer's obvious dark circles, the female officer patted his shoulder sympathetically. The current Eagle Eye System could at best capture illegal vehicles and perform spot checks; the rest of the high-sounding features were basically just for show.

"So, is the Director here to give you trouble?" the female officer asked, worried.

"No," the male officer laughed softly. "The Director wouldn't trouble me over something like this. After all, W City has over ten million people; it's not something that can be compared in one night."

"The Director has been here since this morning, seemingly waiting for someone."

The female officer nodded in understanding, then felt puzzled. What kind of person could make the Director personally come to the control room to wait?

...

Wang Shuo did not make the people in the control room wait too long.

Less than ten minutes after the conversation ended, Wang Shuo arrived at the control room, led by a female police officer.

Looking at the endless stream of traffic and pedestrians on the control room's massive screen, Wang Shuo couldn't help but marvel. Although the Eagle Eye System didn't work very well in practice, it looked quite spectacular.

"What is in front of you now is the Eagle Eye System."

"Director Jiao." Looking at Director Jiao, who had turned around, Wang Shuo showed a hint of apology. "Because your call was urgent, it took some time to prepare the contract. I apologize for keeping you waiting."

Director Jiao's face twitched. He recalled talking to Mayor Fang yesterday about upgrading the Eagle Eye System. The scene he expected where he would have to spend a lot of words did not happen; Mayor Fang seemed to have known about it already and simply approved it with two words: "Agreed."

Immediately, it was a green light all the way, straight to the provincial department, with full approval. The whole process took less than two hours.

This made Director Jiao even more certain of one thing.

This kid in front of him definitely had someone behind him—the kind that even provincial-level officials had to obey.

Indeed, one could not be deceived by this youthful appearance.

The thought flashed by, and Director Jiao regained his composure, saying calmly, "It's fine. Little Liu, introduce the Eagle Eye System to Mr. Wang."

Mr. Wang?

The male police officer surnamed Liu looked at the excessively young man in front of him with some surprise. At such a young age, he was already a "Mr."?

In a flash of thought, he extended his hand and said with a smile, "Liu Jiangtao."

Wang Shuo also extended his hand. "Frontier Technology Co., Ltd., Wang Shuo."

He really was a "Mr.", but he didn't know what Director Jiao wanted this "Mr." to do... Liu Jiangtao cast the thought aside and began to introduce it with a smile.

"Mr. Wang, what is in front of you now is the main control room of the entire W City Eagle Eye System. On this screen, real-time monitoring data from various urban areas and roads in W City is integrated. Thanks to the latest high-definition surveillance cameras, even from a distance of a thousand meters, it can accurately identify the cigarette or other items in your hand. There are a total of 1,300 such cameras in W City."

"The Eagle Eye System has a real-time monitoring and alarm function, which can report the speed and location of illegal vehicles at any time and predict their position via their driving trajectory on an electronic map."

"The Eagle Eye System also has a video search function, which can compare people or vehicles in real-time, greatly improving the efficiency of solving cases."

"The Eagle Eye System also has..."

After saying a whole bunch of things, Wang Shuo summarized it in two words: "Awesome."

But such an impressive thing couldn't achieve all the functions Wang Shuo wanted in his heart. Now it seemed that his assessment of it being a hundred times more advanced was conservative; he hadn't expected this system to be so poor.

Poor intelligence level, poor video search function, poor character profile comparison, poor autonomous alarm and patrol...

Treating this thing like a treasure and not letting anyone touch it—isn't that crazy?

"Wang Shuo, do you still think you have the ability to create a new system that is a hundred times more advanced than the Eagle Eye System?"

Director Jiao asked calmly.

Although the tone was flat, the words spoken made the surrounding police officers uneasy.

The female officer who had just been guessing who the Director was waiting for stared at Wang Shuo with wide eyes. This little brat, who was even younger than her brother, wanted to make a new system more advanced than the Eagle Eye System? And a hundred times more advanced?

Director, are you sure you're not kidding me?

No matter how poor the Eagle Eye System is, it was perfected over several years by a company that won a formal government bid. It's not something just anyone can come up with on a whim, right?

Liu Jiangtao was also a bit incredulous. He was the person who used the Eagle Eye System the most. To be honest, he was indeed dissatisfied with the Eagle Eye System, but everything had to be compared with something else. Compared to the time when they relied purely on manual comparison, the Eagle Eye System was significantly more advanced.

For example.

In a murder case, the police found that the perpetrator drove away, but they didn't know where the car went. If this happened before, it would require a dozen police officers to repeatedly watch the retrieved surveillance footage. Even if played at 1.5x or 2x speed, twenty-four hours of video would take twelve hours to finish watching. During the process, you couldn't even blink, otherwise, who knew if the suspect vehicle had passed by in the split second you blinked?

This was a huge workload.

And the Eagle Eye System could shorten this time to half an hour, and all the police needed to do was draw a line on the video where they needed to filter vehicles.

And now, a "Mr. Wang" from who knows where wanted to upgrade the Eagle Eye System? If this hadn't been said by the Director, he would have wanted to kick this person out of the office.

What kind of nonsense is he spouting!

Under everyone's gaze, Wang Shuo curled his lips and said, "Of course."

He then had Liu Yemei, who was behind him, take out the contract that had already been prepared.

"But we need to sign the contract first."
