Gou's Apartment

He turned one of the rooms into a makeshift lab. Strewn across his desk were circuits, wires, and holographic blueprints of the Toroidal Turing Machine. The TTM was a concept so audacious that even Gou, with all his expertise, struggled with its configuration.

Overhead, drones zipped by, their cold lights searching every nook and crevice of the city. Gou knew he had been targeted, but he wouldn't be an easy catch.

A genius in his own right, Gou had been at the forefront of Powernet's developmentā€”a groundbreaking network that promised to revolutionize the world of technology. But his work had attracted the wrong kind of attention. Forces threatened by Powernet's potential wanted Gou out of the picture. As soon as he'd sensed the danger, Gou decided to disappear.

Choosing the south side for its dense urban structure and numerous hiding spots, Gou rented a small, inconspicuous apartment. It was nestled in a crumbling building with ivy covering most of its walls. An ideal hideout.

He turned one of the rooms into a makeshift lab. Strewn across his desk were circuits, wires, and holographic blueprints of the Toroidal Turing Machine. The TTM was a concept so audacious that even Gou, with all his expertise, struggled with its configuration. Instead of the linear approach of processing data bits, the TTM proposed a multidimensional method, utilizing toroidal loops to process qubits. If successful, the computational power would be unparalleled, allowing Powernet to ascend to new heights.
