Top Student: Wasteland Technology Invasion

There were quite a lot of computer parts, and Lin Chuan and his senior brother Jiao struggled for a long time before finally carrying all the boxes back to the first floor of the information building.

"Thank you so much, Senior Brother Jiao. I'll treat you to lunch."

"Haha, then I won't stand on ceremony, senior brother. Whew, quite a lot of stuff. Open it up and take a look. I'm a little curious, what kind of computer did you get?"

Lin Chuan caught a glimpse of Zeng Na and the others staring at him with curiosity, while a trendy young student wearing white wireless headphones was also glancing at him intentionally or unintentionally.

When I joined the group yesterday, Senior Brother Jiao and Lin Chuan introduced me to a third-year student named He Huaisheng who was absent. He had received numerous honors in the field of computer science and was undoubtedly the top student in the group.

This person must be He Xueba (a top student).

"Senior Brother Jiao, what are you carrying?"

"Looking at so many things, it must be for upgrading the hardware for our group. We have to thank Junior Brother Lin Chuan, otherwise Professor Du probably wouldn't have upgraded the hardware for everyone."

"Let me see, holy crap! This graphics card is the king of graphics cards?" Luo Ting, a third-year student from the School of Information Science and Technology, shouted loudly.

Upon hearing this, He Huaisheng frowned slightly in the distance.

Duan Chengye, also a third-year student at the School of Information Science and Technology, asked, "Old Luo, what does 'Card Emperor' mean?"

"It's the GeForce GTX 690! This is NVIDIA's latest killer weapon, a graphics card made with two GK104 cores, each with a whopping 1536 CUDA cores. It has 4GB of video memory, a luxurious power supply design, and also comes equipped with an extremely powerful cooling system!"

Luo Ting spoke eloquently, saying that as a hardware enthusiast, the GeForce GTX 690 was simply his dream card.

I never expected to see him in the lab today.

Thinking about how he could use such a graphics card in future projects, Luo Ting was incredibly excited.

Duan Chengye: "Great job, Lao Luo! Your explanation was very thorough. Professor Du is really willing to spend money on everyone. Thumbs up!"

Jiao Bolun shook his head, brushed away the outstretched hands of several students from the School of Information Science, and said, "You all need to understand, these all belong to Junior Brother Lin."

"what?"

"Are they all Junior Brother Lin's?"

"We're all in the same project team, why is Professor Du treating us differently?"

Jiao Bolun chuckled, "The mentor just treats people differently, what can we do? Junior Brother Lin was brought into the group by the mentor with great effort. If you can get the mentor to value you that much, you can get any computer you want, and I won't say a word."

"..."

Luo Ting and Duan Chengye both shut up.

This is reality.

The students from the School of Mathematical Sciences have connections and are capable, and Professor Du openly favors "outsiders," so there's nothing they can do about it.

After all, it wasn't easy for them to get into the production team.

Not everyone can work on projects with professors during their undergraduate studies.

Especially when they saw that Boss He was not saying a word, they were even more speechless.

"Squeak."

The laboratory door was pushed open from the outside.

Du Cheng strode into the house.

After a quick glance around, Du Cheng nodded to Lin Chuan, who was assembling a computer, and said, "Lin Chuan, you continue with your work. Bolun, help your junior brother Lin out. We'll have a group meeting in ten minutes. Everyone, please prepare to share your recent research findings."

Ten minutes passed quickly, and Du Cheng began to listen to the project team members' reports.

It was clear that before Lin Chuan joined the group, Professor Du had already broken down the project, assigned certain tasks to each group member, and checked the completion of the tasks weekly.

"Luo Ting, would you like to go first?"

"Okay, Professor Du."

As Luo Ting projected the relevant findings onto the screen, the lengthy presentation began.

Although the students from the School of Information Science and Technology belong to the same project group, they are responsible for different areas. It is not yet time for final coordination, so Zeng Na and Duan Chengye have to listen very carefully to understand Luo Ting's report.

Lin Chuan listened attentively and found it very interesting.

Luo Ting was able to work on projects with professors during his junior year, so his abilities speak for themselves. From Luo Ting's presentations, Lin Chuan learned a lot of computer-related tips and tricks.

Afterwards, Zeng Na and Duan Chengye reported in turn. Even though the two of them were not right in some parts, Lin Chuan still gained a lot.

After the three of them finally finished their reports, Du Cheng's gaze swept back and forth between He Huaisheng and Lin Chuan, and he asked, "Little He, would you like to tell us?"

He Huaisheng took off his headphones, tilted his head to the right, and said, "Ah, Professor Du, did you call me?"

Lin Chuan's eyelids twitched.

Goodness, is that all an act?

Twisting your neck to the right, aren't you afraid of hurting your head? I can't afford to mess with you.

Professor Du clearly understood He Huaisheng's temperament well, and patiently repeated, "Well, do you have something to say?"

"Yes, Professor Du, yes, I had a sudden inspiration when I came to the front of the information building this morning, and I'd like to share it with you all now."

As he spoke, He Huaisheng strode onto the podium, casually pulled out a whiteboard, and said, "I didn't have time to make a PPT, please bear with me."

As He Huaisheng gradually wrote on the whiteboard, all the undergraduates, including Luo Ting, as well as senior student Jiao and Professor Du, focused their attention on it.

Lin Chuan was the most surprised.

Because what He Huaisheng was talking about was a branch of his research on the wasteland world.

However, he eventually abandoned this branch.

Is that such a coincidence?

Thinking this, Lin Chuan listened even more attentively.

He Huaisheng truly deserves his title as a NOI gold medalist and a top student in the School of Information Science and Technology.

He used an interpolation-based algorithm model called "space-time kriging" to accurately study road network status data sources.

However, this method has a significant drawback that cannot be ignored.

It is extremely sensitive to sparse data.

Therefore, when Lin Chuan was conducting research using his scientific intuition in the wasteland world, he quickly ruled it out.

"Clap clap clap".

After He Huaisheng finished speaking, Senior Brother Jiao was the first to lead the applause.

The other undergraduates joined in the applause.

Whether you understand it or not, it's always good to clap along at this moment.

Du Cheng remained silent for a moment before slowly speaking, "Huaisheng, how do you plan to handle the sparse data sensitivity issue?"

"Professor Du, I've been thinking about this for a while, specifically..."

He Huaisheng rambled on and on, but in summary, he had a solution, he was researching it, and he needed some more time.

Du Cheng nodded, not delving into the matter further.

Several undergraduate students from the School of Information Science looked at He Huaisheng with admiration.

A true master is a master; what he says is truly impressive even if you don't understand it.

Professor Du looked at Lin Chuan, "Do you have any ideas to share with everyone?"

Professor Du had high expectations for Lin Chuan, a student from the School of Mathematics.

However, today is only Lin Chuan's second day on set, which is too short a time.

He probably hasn't seriously studied the project details yet.

Du Cheng asked Lin Chuan to share his experience purely to give him the opportunity to get to know the other members of the group better, especially the eccentric genius He Huaisheng.

According to Du Cheng's estimate, even if Lin Chuan can publish an SCI paper in his freshman year and is as impressive as his advisor Lu Zhiwei said, he might not be able to produce any results until next week's group meeting.

"Okay, Professor Du," Lin Chuan replied as he left his seat and walked towards the podium.
