I am weak and friendly

Chapter 336 FOFU, Hirako's masterpiece!

“Boom boom boom—”

Outside the window, a flash of lightning suddenly appeared, and then, after a long while, a rumbling thunder came from the horizon, shaking the heavens and the earth.

On the eighth floor of Qihang Building, in the "Special Projects Department" of Linghai Technology, Tang Yiping looked at his new work and sighed regretfully.

It's such a pity that such an excellent work cannot be made public and can only be kept hidden away in the inner chambers!

On the screen in front of him was another city map, with varying shades of color.

This is a heat map of negative entropy values ​​in a city, using red and blue colors to indicate the distribution of negative entropy across the entire city. It is also one of the six major functions of Tang Yiping's FOFU.

This heatmap shows that the color blocks and bands throughout the city change along its streets and blocks. At this point, most areas are red, indicating that the city's negative entropy value is above -1, meaning it has a relatively high entropy. Only a very few areas show a faint blue hue, indicating that their negative entropy value is below -1, placing them among the areas with relatively low entropy in the world.

This numerical setting was automatically calculated by Tang Yiping based on the algorithm. He planned to go back and recalibrate the entropy meter he had obtained from the alley to avoid errors in the algorithm.

However, its current use as a heat map of the relative entropy of the entire city is already quite sophisticated.

On this heat map, the place with the lowest entropy in the entire city... is the Qihang Building.

Tang Yiping could see that the area centered on Qihang Building was a deep blue core, from which faint radiating bands extended in all directions, spreading along the streets.

Is it an algorithm error? Or is there a problem with my FOFU (Forwarding Functions)?
Why is Qihang Building so blue?

Hmm, I guess I still need to calibrate it with an entropy meter.

The moment Tang Yiping had this thought, another idea suppressed it.

No, that's impossible. My product is perfect; there's no way it could have a problem.

If there's a problem, then there must be a problem with the world.

If it differs from the entropy meter, then the entropy meter must be faulty.

Wait a minute, am I becoming so arrogant because of... the [Worn-out Intuition Blueprint]?

But for some reason, I really like it.

My product is just that awesome!
While reflecting on his actions, Tang Yiping finished compiling and packaging his program and sent it directly to Shen Hong.

"Here, it's finished. Go negotiate with them!"

"So fast? It's finished?" Shen Hong exclaimed in surprise. "Great, let me take a look. With this, we finally have leverage to negotiate with them..."

What does it mean to have the leverage to negotiate with them?

Tang Yiping felt angry when he saw this sentence. Wasn't this tone just boosting the morale of others and diminishing one's own?
Tang Yiping said, "What's there to talk about? Just send them the installation package and let them try it for two days. Tell them that if they want to continue using it, they need to join our Anomaly Containment Bureau. It's a two-day time limit, and they won't be allowed to join after that! Also, tell them that we only accept unconditional surrender!"

What do you mean by joining the Coordination Office? I want the Coordination Office to join our Anomalous Containment Bureau!

Shen Hong: "???"

Why is Hirako so arrogant today?
This software seems to be really great?

With that in mind, Shen Hong immediately sent Tang Yiping's code to his technical staff for verification.

Tang Yiping was stunned after sending those words.

Damn, I'm so awesome!
Why am I so arrogant?
Moreover, he didn't seem guilty at all?
Tang Yiping pondered for a second, then was overwhelmed by another thought.

If you have the ability, you should be arrogant. Only weaklings who lack ability are humble!
I was just too modest before!
Tang Yiping, you need to reflect on this! Being too modest is hypocrisy!

With that thought in mind, Tang Yiping ended his chat with Shen Hong and then turned his scrutinizing gaze to his other projects.

Tsk, this won't do!

Robo-FU and OIFU clearly have so much room for improvement, yet they look so pathetic right now. Ugh, who made these products?! They're so weak!
Huh? Oh, it's me.

There's no way around it, I didn't show my true strength before, but I'm different now!

With that thought in mind, Tang Yiping opened the project and started frantically creating new folders.

Right now, writing code isn't the most important thing. First, we need to build the framework and create a vision. Creating a vision is the product manager's top priority!

……

On the other side, Shen Hong sat on the sofa and looked up at the living room.

This is their base in Hailing City, the same building where Tang Yiping once visited and where Fan Zhihong was imprisoned.

It's just an ordinary little building on the outside, but the interior is decorated in a modern style. Although it can't compare to the 41st floor, there are still many large tables and a 100-inch color TV next to it, which serves as a temporary data screen.

At this moment, the technicians were already busy.

Shortly after, the FOFU interface appeared on the large screen next to us.

FOFU's initial interface is that negative entropy heatmap.

Shen Hong put down the newspaper in his hand, got up, and went to the negative entropy heat map.

This map is very intuitive. At this moment, Shen Hong can see that the entire city is slowly shifting towards red from west to east.

Shen Hong stretched out his hand, measured the gradually changing line that was moving eastward, and then realized what it was.

It's raining.

The rain line is constantly moving eastward.

The torrential rain once again ravaged the city, plunging it into even greater chaos than usual.

Just as the gradually changing line moving eastward reached the location of this small building, Shen Hong heard the rapid sound of raindrops hitting the window.

"Clap clap clap clap..."

Huge raindrops pounded against the window, and Shen Hong heard a technician stand up and close the window that had been slightly ajar.

"It's raining again, and it's going to continue for a few more days."

Yes, it will continue for a few more days.

"According to the forecast, the weather should clear up in the latter half of the night," another technician said.

"Didn't they say it would take at least three or four days? Now it's cleared up in the middle of the night? Weather forecasts these days are completely inaccurate, and they're getting less and less accurate."

"It wasn't the weather forecast that said it, it was FOFU's prediction."

"Hmm?" Shen Hong heard this and turned around.

"Look!" Seeing Shen Hong's inquisitive gaze, the technician activated the "entropy flow prediction" function. Then, on the large screen in front of Shen Hong, timestamps began to appear, and time was rapidly advancing. The entire entropy flow heatmap was also changing rapidly.

Shen Hong saw a reversal process that was very similar to the previous "rainfall line" but completely opposite.

"This must be because the rain has stopped. Although the recovery is slow, there will definitely be a lot of trouble after the rain."

"What's going on here?" Shen Hong pointed to a point on the map.

Shortly after the “entropy flow simulation” began, it turned “red”, and a glaringly red.

"I don't know. Entropy flow simulation can only simulate entropy flow. At present, we only know that the entropy value there has increased dramatically, but we have no way of knowing the reason..." the technician sighed and said.

What a pity?
Don't you think about it? If this program becomes omnipotent, wouldn't we all lose our jobs?
He thought for a moment, then took out his phone and dialed the number.

"Old Li." He was calling Li Tieqiang. "It's like this, Pingzi has finished writing the program... Well, the current situation is this: Pingzi's program predicts an explosive increase in entropy, which might cause some chaos. I think I should let you know... The time is, well..."

Shen Hong looked up, and the technician next to him dragged the timeline to the moment when the red light began to erupt.

23:07.

Shen Hong glanced at the time; it was 22:53 PM. There were less than fifteen minutes left.

"Understood, I'll contact people nearby right away and have them go take a look," Li Tieqiang said.

Then Li Tieqiang hung up the phone.

Fifteen minutes passed quickly.

Shen Hong's phone remained silent and did not ring.

Shen Hong did not leave, but kept staring at the huge screen.

Until his phone rang.

"Hello? This is Shen Hong. The problem is solved, right?" Shen Hong said.

"how do you know?"

"I saw that time had passed, but it didn't turn red there," Shen Hong said. "What's going on?"

"Our colleagues on patrol went to check and found a dilapidated building there. Some vocational school students had gone out to race cars in the middle of the night and got soaked. They had nowhere to hide and ran inside to take shelter from the rain. If our colleagues had arrived a minute later, the building would have collapsed and crushed them inside."

He paused for a moment and said, "When our colleagues came out, it was 23:06 PM. The building collapsed right after they came out."

Shen Hong wanted to speak, but didn't know what to say.

He could only feel his heart pounding uncontrollably.

He could also hear Li Tieqiang's heavy breathing across from him.

"This thing was deduced by Hirako's software?"

“It’s called FOFU,” Shen Hong said. He suddenly felt that calling this software “that software” was really a disservice to it.

Even calling it FOFU would be a bit disrespectful.

However, that's just how Hirako's naming style is, sigh...

Should we give it a powerful name?
Looking at the big screen and the software on it, he suddenly had a thought...

It feels like I'm already in the future.

Yes, let's take over the world!

"Where are you now?" Li Tieqiang said. "I'm coming to find you. I might bring a few colleagues with me."

He paused, then said, "Tonight, we'll probably really need Tang Yiping's software."

Li Tieqiang arrived quickly, bringing with him several middle-aged men dressed in white shirts, just like him.

"Thank you, Director Shen." Several people shook hands with Shen Hong, then looked up at the screen and exclaimed, "Is this the technology we have now? Compared to you, our local technology is still far behind. This kind of thing must be some kind of large-scale model..."

Shen Hong smiled and said, "This is not our technology."

The group exchanged puzzled glances, not wanting to say much, and then stood in front of the big screen, staring wide-eyed.

"Run a simulation," Shen Hong said to his technical staff.

Then he watched the simulation again, seeing the red dots light up and then dim.

Throughout the city, the fluctuations in entropy, like the tides, brought them a tremendous spiritual shock.

Although this 100-inch screen is not big at all compared to the various command centers they usually watch in.

Although they had seen all sorts of simulations and cool interfaces in their lives.

But for a moment, they felt as if the whole city had come alive.

"Wait, wait, wait, wait, let's do it again. I was so focused on watching that I forgot to take notes... Okay, let's stop here. The time for that red dot..."

Seeing Li Tieqiang frantically taking notes in a notebook, Shen Hong turned to the technician and asked, "Is there a better way? It's too troublesome to look at them one by one like this."

"Received. Let me check the document Tang gave us." The technician looked down for a moment, then said, "Found it. We can perform entropy flow anomaly filtering. I'll set the filtering conditions."

On the screen in front of everyone, it was as if a raster was passing by, and the heat map of entropy flow was being filtered and peeled off layer by layer, leaving hundreds of red dots of varying shades on the entire screen.

Each red dot is clearly marked with a time:

23:59:21
00:02:12
00:17:31
00:17:32
00:18:02…

At that moment, Shen Hong, Li Tieqiang, and the other men in white shirts were all stunned.

If each red dot here represents an event, just like before...

Does that mean we can predict the future?
They were stunned for more than ten seconds in front of the dense array of red dots before they hurriedly started making phone calls separately.

However, this way of working is extremely inefficient.

"Looks like I'll have to call some more people." Li Tieqiang hung up the phone, staring at the countless red dots, and muttered to himself.

If they rely solely on themselves, they'd work themselves to death and still not be able to handle it.

"What can we do?" Shen Hong asked.

"If you can help, that would be wonderful!" Li Tieqiang exclaimed with delight.

These people are very skilled. With their help, Li Tieqiang no longer needs to use the most cumbersome method.

"Here we are, young men, get to work, this city needs us now!" Shen Hong clapped his hands.

"F*ck Off For Us, let's overturn the world!" he heard the technician next to him shout in a very chuunibyou way.

Come on, let's take over the world!
No, we are here to protect this world!
……

While Li Tieqiang and others were busy solving the abnormal entropy flow in the entire city, Tang Yiping had already painted a rosy picture for himself.

He looked at the densely packed folders on his screen and nodded in satisfaction.

But he was too tired today and didn't want to write code, so his eyes started wandering.

I don't know why, but today I feel like everything is wrong with me and I want to change it all.

Tang Yiping's gaze first fell on Ban Ge.

Right now, Brother Ban is frowning, looking at the screen, and typing on it, I don't know what he's doing.

Sure enough, this is the one I dislike the most.

He's a spineless coward, a complete waste of talent.

And watch me transform you!

"Brother Ban, get up!" Tang Yiping came up behind Brother Ban.

Brother Ban turned around in confusion.

"Get up, stand up straight!"

How could someone who is my master, Tang Yiping, be so weak?
Now is the time for middle-aged and elderly people to work hard and strive for success!

How can I lie down when you're so weak?
"Come on, I'll give your talent back to you!"

Hurry up and get stronger!
Weak and useless master!
