What Lu Zhou didn't expect was that Li Gaoliang was the one who was assigned by the General Assembly Department to cooperate with him.
So, the unit that they were working with was …
"Li Gaoliang, Commander of the First Orbital Airborne Brigade in the Eastern Theater of Operations —"
Li Gaoliang was about to salute Lu Zhou, but Lu Zhou quickly stopped him.
"Stop. I'm not your chief, and you're not here to fight a war. Don't do this here."
Li Gaoliang smiled awkwardly and scratched the back of his head.
"The two hundred of us came with a military order. Before the chief left, he specifically told me to cooperate with Academician Lu to fight this battle of virtual technology. Until the project is accepted, you are our chief. Whatever you say, we will do. "
Lu Zhou shook his head and said, "It's not that bad. What you need to do is actually quite simple. I'll introduce you to the next project you're going to participate in and the specific work arrangements."
He didn't expect Minister Qin to transfer two hundred people from the Airborne Brigade to help him.
Lu Zhou looked at Li Gaoliang, who was full of fighting spirit and energy. He couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.
However, thinking about it carefully, they were indeed the closest unit to this place.
As a rapid response force that could deploy globally within an hour, the orbital airborne brigade was stationed next to the Jinling launch site.
Lu Zhou brought Li Gaoliang to the laboratory. As the two walked, Lu Zhou gave him a brief introduction.
Suddenly, Li Gaoliang noticed Professor Lumiere in the laboratory and asked, "Professor Lumiere, what's wrong?"
He paused for a second and asked, "Why is there a foreigner here?"
When he received the order, he heard that this was a confidential project. Normally, it was impossible for foreigners to participate in this kind of project.
Lu Zhou said, "Lumiere, Swiss. The entire project is divided into two parts. One is the construction of the virtual reality system, and the other is the civilian part. There is a lack of talent in this area in China, so I poached him from the Swiss National Neural Network Research Center.
"As for the hardware of the equipment and the military training program, he won't be involved.
"Of course, if he does anything suspicious, just keep an eye on him."
Although the possibility of this happening was very small, it was never wrong to be more careful.
Hearing Lu Zhou's order, Li Gaoliang's expression immediately became serious. He nodded and said, "Don't worry about this! I will definitely keep a close eye on him. "
"Don't be too nervous." Lu Zhou patted him on the shoulder and said, "Professor Lumiere may not be reliable, but he's a good person."
Lumiere, who was standing nearby, was secretly listening to their conversation.
It wasn't because he wanted to pry, but because he vaguely heard his own name.
Unfortunately, he didn't know Chinese, so he didn't know what Lu Zhou and the tall, dark-skinned man were talking and laughing about.
He didn't know if it was because the man noticed him, but he suddenly looked in his direction.
The moment their eyes met, he felt uneasy and even creeped out, so he quickly averted his gaze.
After the man left, Lumiere coughed and spoke to Lu Zhou.
"Speaking of which, there are more strangers at the research institute today."
"Yeah."
Seeing how Lu Zhou didn't respond, Lumiere couldn't help but ask, "Who are they?"
"… Who are they?"
Lu Zhou: "Volunteers."
What the hell is a volunteer?
Lumiere continued to ask in a roundabout way.
"Volunteers? What do you mean? "
"Literally." Lu Zhou said, "Since we have decided to use a distributed computing method to build the entire system, the more brains we can use, the better … Didn't you tell me this? Their job is to cooperate with our experiments. "
Lumiere said, "But I feel like there's something wrong with their identities …"
Lu Zhou coughed and said, "For the sake of safety, it's better if you don't ask too many questions."
Lumiere looked at Lu Zhou and gulped. He then nodded and spoke.
"Okay then."
Lu Zhou nodded and changed the topic. "How is your work going?"
Professor Lumiere quickly said, "I'm making progress … I built a mechanical learning algorithm framework. Now we only need a good computer … Preferably a supercomputer. Then, the volunteers will continue to repeat the experiment, and we'll be able to collect the materials we need to set up the instruction set."
Lu Zhou raised his eyebrows and walked next to his computer. He then placed his hands on the table.
"Let me see."
…
Now that the experimenters were in place, the research on the virtual reality system finally began.
For Lu Zhou, scientific research was a very interesting thing. Most of the time, he felt happy from the research itself.
However, this time was a little different.
The tedious and boring repetitive work made him feel like he wasn't doing scientific research at all, but rather, he was carrying bricks.
When he complained to Professor Lumiere, Professor Lumiere looked at him in disbelief.
"… I can't believe you actually have this kind of idea."
Lu Zhou: "You think it's interesting to deal with these tedious codes?"
"No, what I mean is … I've never thought that scientific research is a very interesting thing. No matter what kind of research it is, it's basically carrying bricks. So far, our research has been quite smooth. We just haven't encountered a situation where we have to carry bricks. "
Lu Zhou shrugged and said, "Not necessarily, most of the time I find it interesting … Except for this."
Lumiere: "You can give me an example, I'll refute you."
Lu Zhou: "For example, when I was trying to solve the Riemann's conjecture, I first tried to solve it by using auxiliary lines on the complex plane. However, this didn't work until I remembered that I was inspired by solving the Navier – Stokes equations and introduced differential manifolds to —"
Professor Lumiere felt a headache coming on. He quickly stopped him and said, "Okay, you can stop now. I'm a bit impatient now, and I don't want to listen to you …"
Suddenly, Professor Lumiere stopped.
Even the words he was about to say were stuck in his throat.
Lu Zhou looked at Lumiere's expression and paused for a second.
"What happened?"
"It's done …"
Lu Zhou: "…?"
"I said it's done!" Professor Lumiere had a look of ecstasy on his face. He pushed his chair away and stood up. "Jesus Christ! I suddenly thought of a brilliant idea! On paper, we can save 50% of our work … No, at least 70% of our work! "
Seeing how excited he was, Lu Zhou, who was used to this guy making a fuss about nothing, didn't show an excited expression. Instead, he just ridiculed him.
"I remember someone just told me that scientific research is a boring thing, but I think someone is starting to enjoy it."
"… That's not the point." Professor Lumiere's eyes flashed with excitement as he said, "Next is to verify our hypothesis. I can complete the entire virtual reality system in three days. I plan on compiling a small program to test our system."
In three days?
A look of surprise finally appeared on Lu Zhou's face.
According to their original plan, they would have to work until next month to complete the entire system.
Lu Zhou calmed himself down and asked, "What do you plan on doing?"
"How do you plan on testing it?"
Professor Lumiere snapped his fingers and said, "It's simple! We can try to recreate a scene from a movie. "
Lu Zhou: "Sounds interesting, what do you think is a good movie?"
Lumiere: "Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, The Matrix, or The Fifth Element. No matter what the theme is, the more realistic it is, the better. Even though our system is very easy to operate, there is no need to increase the workload. "
As he spoke, his eyes were filled with uncontrollable ecstasy as he stared at the screen, muttering to himself.
"This is exciting!
"I can't believe someone like me has a chance to change the world …"
