Chapter 8: A Self-taught Scientific Genius?

In the long corridor, there were snow-white walls on both sides and bright, white lights lining the ceiling with a 5-meter spacing in between.

Under the soft light, four figures walked slowly.

Other than the sound of footsteps, there were no other sounds.

President Joseph walked steadily with two assistants on his left and right. They were also his students.

Anderson walked behind President Joseph with a calm expression, causing President Joseph’s two students to constantly look at him, their eyes filled with an inexplicable meaning.

In their opinion, although this kid had been acknowledged by President Joseph, this was only the first step. After that, he would face even more tests.

After all, this guy was about the same age as them. It was already very good that he had such insight and could come up with the concept of artificial intelligence.

Although they had also seen Anderson’s preliminary simulation of the concept of artificial intelligence, they were still far from being able to make a clear judgment based on experience and intuition like the two presidents.

Therefore, they had never thought that Anderson would be able to create a finished product of artificial intelligence because it simply felt too good to be true.

After turning a corner, President Joseph suddenly slowed his footsteps and looked at Anderson with a strange expression. “Kid, actually, I really want to open up your head and see what it looks like on the inside! Your thoughts are definitely not something an ordinary brain circuit can think of.”

Seeing President Joseph’s serious expression, Anderson was instantly stunned.

Was the President really going to dissect him open just to study him?

This was just a small artificial intelligence and he was already thinking about studying his brain. 

If he were to bring out all the other, more amazing dark technologies, he wondered how long it would take before he was placed on the surgical table and dissected by other researchers.

Perhaps the scientists of the entire world would go crazy.

Anderson shook his head with a bitter smile.

Meanwhile, Joseph’s two assistants were also stunned on the spot.

Was this still their serious and unsmiling teacher?

This was President Joseph. Since when did he interact with younger people in such a casual manner?

President Joseph’s sternness was well known. They had been with President Joseph for five years.

However, they had never encountered such treatment.

Had President Joseph changed?

Various thoughts kept popping up in the two assistants’ minds.

When Joseph saw the helpless expression on Anderson’s face, he immediately smiled and wrinkles appeared on his face.

It had been a long time since he had met such an interesting young man.

This young man had been nervous at first before he went on stage but once he was up there, it was clear that he had regained his confidence.

Now, he had even obtained his own recognition and was still able to maintain a normal state of mind.

All these signs showed that this young man was very confident in his own ideas and did not have any doubt in his abilities.

In fact, even now, Joseph still had this trace of doubt in his heart.

He could not believe his own judgment.

After all, Anderson was really too young, even younger than when he had led the team back then.

Even when he saw the data displayed by Anderson, the first thought that popped up in his mind was that Anderson had a scientific research team under him and an elite one at best.

It was even stronger than his original team. Otherwise, the completion rate of this technology would never have been so perfect.

Either that or Anderson had stolen the other people’s research results.

Such a thing was not uncommon in the world where technology was prevalent.

Some people worked hard for most of their lives just to develop a technology that could change the world while others within their team would simply ‘sell’ the results for their own profits. 

However, after Joseph carefully understood the technology and investigated Anderson’s background, he immediately denied this speculation.

First of all, as Anderson said, his background was just that of an ordinary arms dealer. The company he ran had problems, so it was impossible to support an elite research team.

Stealing other people’s research results was even more impractical than the previous idea.

This was because the aspects involved in Anderson’s ideas were too broad. It could even be said that they were even a little ahead of their time.

Even Hyman Tech had not reached such a level, let alone other technology companies.

These ideas could not be implemented silently in this world where technology was prevalent.

Therefore, all the results showed one answer.

It was that this super artificial intelligence technology that could change the world was conceived and implemented by Anderson himself.

And Anderson’s self-confidence, as well as the various data demonstrated, proved that this was not an empty theory.

Anderson had evidence, and most importantly, his eyes lit up when he talked about the technology that he had developed.

This was the reason why Joseph was willing to believe in Anderson.

Joseph smiled and gently patted Anderson’s shoulder. “Although I’m ready to believe you now, there are still some parts of me that have doubts.”

Anderson nodded, indicating that there was no problem.

“Anderson, what I want to know is, how did you do all this? In your design concept, there are 12 disciplines and 19 research directions. Even the most experienced team in Hyman Technology wouldn’t dare to say that they would succeed. I hope you can answer this question for me.”

Joseph looked at Anderson seriously, his face full of expectation.

The two assistants beside Joseph kept looking at Anderson and Joseph, completely confused about the situation.

Naturally, Anderson noticed the state of these two people. At first, these two people were disdainful of him, but now after seeing their mentor like this, they were probably dumbfounded.

However, the attitude of these two people did not matter to him.

Seeing Joseph’s somewhat anxious expression, Anderson replied in a serious tone, “I’m self-taught!”

“Self-taught?”

In an instant, Joseph was also dumbfounded.

It was obvious that this answer was not within his imagination.

He could not believe it, but when he saw Anderson’s sincere and serious expression, he could only shake his head helplessly. “There were many people who praised me and gave me a lot of glory and titles such as a new star in the scientific world, a man who changed the world, a scientific monster, and so on.

“But now, I feel like you’re the one who deserves it more! You are clearly a scientific monster, to be able to come up with such a thing on your own is really too strange.”

The generous praise came from President Joseph’s mouth.

Anderson understood that he probably would not be prodded further on how he was able to develop such an idea in the future. However, he wasn’t worried about that either as even if they investigated more, they would not be able to find anything. 

That was because all the knowledge was stored in his mind.
