#564 - Chapter 1: Back to School

Aurora is the United States' most advanced supercomputer system, with a peak computing performance of over two exaflops per second. This system has 10,624 computing boards, each node configured with ax series GPUs and two Intel Xeon Max series CPUs. These boards are installed in 166 racks, covering an area of approximately two basketball courts, truly a computer matrix.

Currently, in the United States, there are only three Aurora supercomputers. One is located at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and another is housed at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.

The Aurora located at Princeton University, however, is jointly developed by Argonne National Laboratory and Intel Corporation. Due to decisions from academic leaders and the need for publicity, it was ultimately chosen to be installed at Princeton University. This not only supports the school's research projects but also serves as a testing device.

Liu Yuan's target this time is this supercomputer system. Through preliminary research on the Spark, he discovered that there are certain hidden conditions for the transformation of mechanical life. For example, vehicles like tanks and fighter jets are highly likely to transform into powerful combat-capable Transformers; while engineering vehicles, ambulances, and communication vehicles can be transformed into support-type Transformers.

Similarly, high-precision instruments such as computers and large-scale scientific research equipment have a very high probability of transforming into Transformers with technical or scientific research capabilities.

As for the initial consciousness confusion problem during the transformation, it's not difficult to solve. You only need to use some special methods and technologies to forcibly restrain their actions, and then patiently wait for them to return to a normal state of mind.

However, whether the transformation target is an Autobot or a Decepticon doesn't seem to be a worrying issue. After all, Frenzy is full of confidence in the new master's methods, believing that they will definitely have the ability to subdue these powerful Transformers. Therefore, Frenzy made a suggestion to Liu Yuan.

Upon hearing this, Liu Yuan's eyes lit up. He realized that this suggestion was indeed very reasonable. Since he had already decided to conduct transformation experiments, why not choose a larger-scale, more challenging target? Ordinary large computers were clearly no longer satisfying his appetite, and he directly locked his target on the United States' most advanced supercomputer system.

Under Frenzy's efficient search, he quickly found several of the most advanced supercomputer systems located in the United States and even worldwide. These included Dawn, Aurora, Summit, Eagle Eye, and so on... However, these precious supercomputer systems are all national-level important assets, usually tightly protected in national-level laboratories. It is almost an impossible task to easily acquire them.

After much deliberation, Liu Yuan finally locked his target on the Aurora supercomputer system owned by Princeton University. Compared to the other systems, this system is relatively easier to approach and operate. However, successfully obtaining this supercomputer system is not an easy task and requires careful planning of a perfect plan.

Therefore, Liu Yuan decided to use the mechanical puppets in his hand to play the role of Decepticons and launch a surprise attack on Princeton University. This would not only confuse the public but also make people mistakenly believe that Decepticons were responsible, thereby buying himself more time and opportunities to complete this secret operation.

As long as he can cover his entry into the place where the Aurora supercomputer is stored, he can directly harvest all those computing matrices into the small world. He guarantees that even if those American intelligence agencies rack their brains, they won't know how these things were transported away.

September began with bright and warm sunshine, bathing people in its comforting light. In this beautiful season, Princeton University welcomed its annual back-to-school season. Since August 20th, new students had been arriving on campus one after another to register. They carried their dreams and aspirations, stepping onto this land full of knowledge and opportunities. These young figures, either carrying backpacks or pulling suitcases, had faces filled with excitement and anticipation. As time went on, more and more new students poured into the campus, and the entire school was filled with a strong youthful atmosphere.

Princeton University is renowned for its outstanding academic reputation and rigorous teaching style. This research university is not only one of the Ivy League schools but also a representative of the world's top institutions. However, it does not offer professional fields such as finance and music like some other universities. Instead, it focuses more on cultivating students' scientific research capabilities and comprehensive qualities.

Students who are able to enter here must have a GPA of 3.8 or higher to be admitted. The calculation method of GPA is also quite complicated. It is calculated by multiplying the course grade point of each course taken by the student (including repeated courses) by the credit of the course, then adding them up, and finally dividing by the total credits. This calculation method fully reflects the student's learning achievements in all aspects.

The grade point average is not only a number but also a comprehensive evaluation index of students' learning ability and quality. According to the conversion rules of the percentage system, a GPA of 3.8 is equivalent to 88 points or more. Students who can be admitted to Princeton University are mostly outstanding individuals with exceptional intelligence and learning abilities.

On the morning of September 2nd, the sunlight shone through the gaps in the leaves and scattered on the ground, forming patches of dappled light and shadows. Liu Yuan leisurely strolled along the tree-lined paths of Princeton University's campus, feeling the fresh air and peaceful atmosphere. Since it was during the registration period, the campus was bustling with activity, and everywhere were busy students and parents. They shuttled between the teaching buildings, completing admission procedures and looking for dormitories, a scene of busy activity. Due to the large number of visitors, the police dispatched a lot of police force to strengthen patrols in this area. In fact, there are also campus police within the university.

Liu Yuan, dressed in casual clothes, walked on the university campus, attracting some people's attention. Although he was no longer young, he still maintained the appearance of a twenty-five-year-old, looking like a senior student. Young female students often came up to strike up conversations, which made him feel a little troubled.

"Senior, can I add you as a contact?" A young female student walked up to him and asked with a smile. She was very pretty, with a good figure, wearing a crop top and hot pants, revealing her fair belly and slender legs.

Liu Yuan smiled helplessly: "I'm sorry, I don't have a phone." He politely declined the female student's request.
