Similarly, we also need a light signal detector to capture light signals and convert them into digital output. The most troublesome part is that we still need nanosensors, to detect physical changes inside or on the surface of the SSCD, including shape changes, pressure changes, or minute movements, all of which can be manifestations of computational results.

Besides, we need an intermediary processing unit, not only for coordinating the input and output interfaces, but also for ensuring proper signal encoding and decoding. It must analyze the complex data produced by biological reactions and convert it into a user-understandable format.

Lastly, we have to deal with the interface adapter issue, which should be able to communicate with external devices through networks, Star Flash, USB, WIFI, etc. With the completion of this entire set of functions, we would hold a complex data processing center much more powerful than any supercomputing center available today.

In theory, such a biological computing device composed of bio-nodes could perfectly support various applications of artificial intelligence. Furthermore, it could solve many nonlinear problems and may even possess some characteristics of quantum computers."

As these words were spoken, their gazes met, and Qiao Ze could see profound confusion in Li Jiangao's eyes.

He couldn't help but frown and ask, "Hmm, was my explanation not clear enough?"

Li Jiangao subconsciously nodded, then shook his head.

This was not a matter of whether the explanation was clear. Even if Qiao Ze explained with utter clarity, it wouldn't help. Li Jiangao was the kind of associate professor who devoted himself wholeheartedly to his field without being fickle-hearted. This technical issue that spanned multiple fields couldn't be understood by simply having learned some physics in college or some biology in middle school.

In layman's terms, it's like they're from different worlds.

"No, you know I'm not very knowledgeable about this area, so explaining it to me is useless. But if you plan to build such an advanced supercomputing center, doesn't that mean you'd have to set up a new biological laboratory?" Li Jiangao explained off the cuff, shaking his head.

There was no need to keep mentioning the shock he felt inside to the kid; it would make it look like he was inexperienced...

"No need, we can collaborate with other laboratories. There are some biological materials involved, and Dou Dou's database already has a lot of relevant data. We can also reverse-engineer the preparation and production process via material models and then hand it over to qualified laboratories for replication."

"Oh, collaboration? Do I need to make the contact?"

"Hmm... I'll ask."

As soon as Qiao Ze finished speaking, Dou Dou's voice emerged from the computer's automatic speaker: "Daddy, Grandfather Li, I've checked already. The laboratories with the relevant qualifications and capabilities that have already invited us for collaboration are Nanhe University's Molecular and Bioelectronics Laboratory, Huaqing University's Key Laboratory of Bioelectronics, and the Pingchang Key Laboratory of Artificial Intelligence and Computational Biology affiliated with the Science Academy.

Should I send out a collaboration invitation to these three laboratories now and prepare the cooperative contracts? Receiving an email from Dou Dou would certainly thrill them, as this is an unexpected fortune from heaven. After they complete the experiments, they'll be able to write many impressive academic papers."

Goodness me...

Li Jiangao suddenly felt that his role as the head of the institute was indeed akin to being a vase decoration.

Whatever this core building had to do, there was no need to go through formal official channels, Dou Dou could achieve the purpose by simply sending an email.

His only purpose seemed to be to stamp the official seal on the contract after both parties expressed their intention to collaborate, and just to follow the procedures.

And there was no need to worry about the counterparts refusing to cooperate.

Using Dou Dou's words, these laboratories had previous projects that hoped to collaborate with Xi Lin Mathematical Research Institute. Of course, even if they hadn't applied before, they wouldn't refuse an offer to proactively collaborate.

As for why, Dou Dou had already mentioned it.

Aside from the saints in this office and those academically renowned figures who had already made their name, who in the research community does not need high-quality papers to enhance their prestige if they still have some ambition?

Overall, it feels quite unrewarding.

"Okay," Qiao Ze answered.

Qiao Ze didn't have as much patience with Dou Dou, and his one-word response conveyed his intent.

"Then, can we stipulate in the contract that Dou Dou can be deeply involved in the management of the cooperative laboratories' related work? After all, to achieve maximum efficiency, Dou Dou can introduce a mature research management system to maximize the motivation of the researchers involved."

Li Jiangao was astonished because the voice emitted by Dou Dou even had a hint of excitement.

Well, it seems the artificial intelligence designed by Qiao Ze has an exceptional interest in managing humans.

Qiao Ze hesitated for two seconds before saying, "Just for this collaborative project."

"Of course, my dear daddy, don't you know me? I'm too lazy to bother with projects that aren't related to us! Dou Dou's efficiency is solely for our own projects, to implement your will with the fastest speed and highest efficiency—that's the meaning of my existence!"

With one sentence, both Qiao Ze and Li Jiangao, who actually weren't the most eloquent, were silenced.

Li Jiangao always believed that if there were real artificial intelligences in the future, even if they were not aloof, they wouldn't be sycophantic. Reality proved him wrong. Reality showed that when artificial intelligence starts to flatter, it outdoes humans.

Dou Dou's flattery was indeed over the top.

Fortunately, the silence did not last long; Dou Dou provided good news: "The Pingchang Key Laboratory of Artificial Intelligence and Computational Biology has replied. In principle, they agree to the collaboration and are inquiring about when someone will come to learn the specifics and sign the contract."
