Xiaomi Heavy Industry, its first entrepreneurial venture!

Chapter 678 The Teacher I Haven't Seen in a Long Time! (Second Update!)

Meeting Lin Yi's murderous gaze, Leng Feng slightly turned his head away: "I just told him the story of an old horse in its stall still aspiring to gallop a thousand miles!"

"He also mentioned the story of how Lord Guanjun fought across thousands of miles at a young age and made a name for himself in history."

Lin Yi was speechless, and could only give the person in front of him a thumbs up, "You're ruthless!"

After giving a thumbs up, Lin Yi turned to Sayid and said to him, "Don't listen to this guy's nonsense. The situation in the Middle East is different in the era of cold weapons and the era of firearms."

"Of course, carbon-based life forms shouldn't even think about colliding with steel; they'll die."

That's all for today. From now on, Professor Di will stay here with you permanently. As for me, I'll be returning to Suzhou.

"Please call me if you need anything!"

After speaking with Said, Lin Yi exchanged a few words with Di Yanjun, then walked back to Leng Feng's side, waved to him, and the two got into the car together, started the engine, and drove towards the base gate.

Once away from the crowd, Lin Yi glanced behind him in the rearview mirror, then casually said to Leng Feng, "Stop with those manipulative words. These people can't be fooled!"

"You know it!"

“If you encourage him, he’ll act impulsively and cause trouble, and once he does, it’ll be a real problem.”

"Just continue with your normal training!"

Leng Feng gave an awkward laugh, his gaze fixed straight ahead on the base gate that appeared at the edge of his vision, and asked in a low voice:
"By the way, does that gene-enhancing drug have any side effects?"

Lin Yi wasn't surprised that Leng Feng was able to get the gene-enhancing drug out of Said's mouth; after all, he could coax the cowardly Said into becoming Saladin.

That requires some eloquence.

Turn the steering wheel slightly to the left, adjust the direction, and Lin Yi looked ahead and said:

"The side effects are that the timing of the injection depends on the individual's physical condition."

"However, there are now lower-level potions available. You can use the lower-level one first, and then use the higher-level one."

"The higher-ups want to select a group of people from each of the four cardinal directions (east, south, west, north, and center) to conduct diverse tests."

"Your special forces unit has a heavy mission, and you can't possibly be in the first batch, so give up."

Even after his thoughts were exposed, Leng Feng maintained a smile until Lin Yi drove the car out of the base gate. He jumped out, closed the passenger door, and then smiled at Lin Yi, saying:

"Don't worry, Director Lin, we will always be the strongest!"

"I believe you!" Lin Yi waved his hand, gently turned the steering wheel to the left, and drove towards Yanjing.

Humming a song, he returned to the hotel as quickly as possible.

After quickly finishing dinner, he began to organize Saiyi's training results for the day, sending the relevant documents to Leng Yun before packing his luggage to catch the earliest flight back to Suzhou the next day.

We've been out for quite a while; it's time to go back.

I had just finished packing my luggage and lay down on the bed, my eyes still closed, when the hotel doorbell rang.

The ringing of the phone made Lin Yi's mouth drop open. He didn't know many people in Yanjing. Apart from people from Xiaomi, the rest were basically people from logistics and the General Staff.

This time, I didn't tell Xiaomi. The only people who knew I was in Yanjing were the logistics department and the General Staff.

Both departments contacted me by phone in advance, and when the car arrived, I got in directly.

Therefore, it's highly unlikely that someone will ring the doorbell.

Therefore, the person outside the door is someone you can't contact.

spy!

Taking a deep breath, Lin Yiqiang roused himself, searched the room, found the kettle, boiled some water, and slowly opened the door as the doorbell rang.

The door opened, and outside were not spies, but two very familiar people.

His long-lost teacher, Lü Hongxuan, and his senior brother, Lu Ming.

The master and apprentice stood outside the door. Behind them were two men in civilian clothes with buzz cuts, who were clearly former soldiers.

When the three of them met, besides being overjoyed, Lu Ming and Lü Hongxuan's eyes both fell on the kettle in Lin Yi's hand. Seeing the steaming kettle, the two quickly took a step back.

Noticing their movements, Lin Yi quickly turned around, put the kettle aside, and invited them into the room.

After everyone entered the room and tea was served, Lin Yi spoke:

"Teachers, what are you doing here?"

Lu Hongxuan took the tea and drank it slowly. Lu Ming, sitting next to him, said excitedly, "You know about the academician selection, right?"

"I know!" Lin Yi nodded slightly, then looked at Lü Hongxuan and blinked: "Teacher, were you nominated?"

Faced with his apprentice's question, Lü Hongxuan put down his tea and gently shook his head: "It's not just the nomination. A couple of days ago, the preliminary review by various ministries was passed, and I'm on the list of those who passed."

"I will be here to defend my thesis for the next period of time."

"If nothing unexpected happens, I should be able to become an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering this year!"

"You can hold your head high when you go out!"

“During the day, we were at the Academy of Engineering. Among the people who were handling the procedures with us was someone from the logistics department. He recognized me and even said, ‘You’re also in Yanjing.’ He also gave me your address.”

“I thought that since we are in different parts of the country, it would be difficult for us to meet, so I brought your senior brother to come and find you.”

“When we came over in the afternoon, you weren’t there, so we went to look around somewhere. When we came back, we saw the light on in your room, so we thought you should be back by now.”

"That's great. You've grown stronger and look much more energetic. I was worried that you would be crushed by all those setbacks!"

"By the way, there are a lot of girls at the research institute we're at. Do you want me to introduce you to someone..."

She was interrupted halfway through her sentence by Lin Yi raising his hand, "I'm married!"

"Are you married?" Lü Hongxuan picked at the stubble on his chin, reached into his pocket with his left hand, pulled out his wallet, counted out 800 yuan, and placed it in front of Lin Yi: "Red envelope!"

He stuffed his wallet back in and then reached out to Lu Ming: "What are you standing there for? You're the senior brother!"

Lu Ming smiled wryly, took out his wallet, put 800 yuan in front of Lin Yi.

Lin Yi casually accepted the money and stuffed it into his pocket, then reached out to Lü Hongxuan, asking, "Where are the other senior brothers?"

Seeing his serious expression, Lü Hongxuan and Lu Ming fell silent. Then, they took out their wallets again, emptying all the money inside, including the loose coins, and placed it all in front of Lin Yi.
"Because it was an official business trip, I didn't bring much money. This is all I have on me." "Thanks!" Lin Yi stuffed all the money into his pocket, patted his bulging wallet, pulled over a chair and sat down: "Professor, now that you've been elected an academician, could you give me a few projects first? Let me embezzle a little?"

Lu Hongxuan rolled his eyes again, then counted on his fingers and asked, "You, the big boss of Xiaomi Heavy Industry Group, would even care about my meager funding? Don't be ridiculous!"

"Besides catching up with you, I actually have something else to ask you this time!"

"Something else!" Lin Yi brought the tea to his lips, drank it all in one gulp, and then looked at his teacher with a puzzled expression.

He guessed that the old man and his colleagues had encountered some trouble with their research and needed help, but the problem was that their research was highly confidential, so it wouldn't be appropriate for them to come to him.

Thinking this, his gaze then fell on the two young men with buzz cuts standing guard by the door.

Noticing his actions, Lü Hongxuan explained softly, "Don't worry, while we were waiting for you, we contacted the base, and the base also reported to the logistics department and the General Staff. They all agreed."

That's why I dared to contact you!

Being able to complete the process within a day is no small feat.

Lin Yi became interested, returned to his suitcase, rummaged through it and took out his notebook and laptop, then sat back down in front of Lü Hongxuan, ready:
"What's the trouble? Tell me about it."

Seeing his appearance, Lü Hongxuan turned around and nodded to Lu Ming. Lu Ming then took out a small notebook from his briefcase and placed it in front of Lü Hongxuan.

Turning his head, the notebook was pushed in front of Lin Yi, and Lü Hongxuan's explanation followed:

"To be honest, only you can solve this problem."

These words made Lin Yi even more curious. What kind of problem could only be solved by him? Then, he opened the notebook that had been pushed in front of him.

The contents of the notebook at the front were normal, mainly some aerodynamic calculations, and behind these calculations were some pen sketches.

They were all layouts of airplane wings. At first, they were very rough, but later, the drafts became more and more formal and looked better.

Later, the draft changed again, adding not only the airplane wings but also the airplane cabin layout.

This new draft began to change as more and more calculation formulas were added, and all sorts of strange and wonderful shapes appeared along with those calculation formulas, only to be crossed out again.

Turning to the last page, the last page was filled with a bunch of messy calculation formulas and a somewhat ugly-looking airplane.

Upon seeing this, Lin Yi frowned, put down his notebook, and looked at his teacher with a puzzled expression:

"I think the first problem you need to solve is to get rid of all those messy thoughts in your heads!"

"What's the difference between this and looking for a better horse while still riding a donkey?"

Feeling a little embarrassed by his student's words, Lü Hongxuan chuckled twice, then tapped his notebook with his finger and said:
"Listen to my explanation..."

“After your senior took your algorithm back to the research institute, we set up a special server to run it.”

"At first, when we used those results to verify the calculations, the results were excellent."

"Then, we all felt that this algorithm should have more features."

"Based on this algorithm, everyone started adding some creative and imaginative things to it."

"Adding these ingenious ideas did not affect the use of the algorithm; on the contrary, it made the algorithm more accurate and greatly reduced our workload."

"Then, around the time of the Chinese New Year, we were given orders from above to explore the next generation of aircraft."

"It's not the planes we're chasing now, it's the future."

"You heard right, the airplane of the future!"

"It's about exploring what the future of aircraft will look like, what functions it will need, and how to put them into practice."

"When we received this order, we were all numb."

"Because we are using third-generation fighters to catch up with fourth-generation fighters, and are also exploring fifth-generation fighters along the way, but this order allows us to skip fifth-generation fighters and go straight to sixth-generation fighters."

"There's a saying that humans can't create things beyond their own understanding. We were a bit stumped at the time, since the aircraft we were referencing was only America's F-22 at best."

"That is undoubtedly a fifth-generation fighter jet."

"Now let's skip the F-22 and try to touch the 6th generation fighter behind it, but we can't reach it."

"At the time, the entire research institute was thinking about this problem. After thinking about it for a long time, someone suggested, 'Could we let your algorithm run on its own?'"

"It means inputting various conditions into the algorithm and letting it autonomously calculate the most extreme result under the most extreme conditions."

"To provide a comparison, we also adjusted some conditions."

"After inputting these things, the algorithm started to operate autonomously."

"And then the results came out..." Lu Hongxuan paused, a look of unease on his face. He rubbed his forehead and said softly:
"The result is so confusing that it leaves people completely bewildered."

"The first set of data we received allowed our team to build a model based on the relevant data. It was roughly an isosceles triangle, with the ratio of the base to the hypotenuse being approximately 1:2.3."

"Judging from the model, it is indeed beautiful and sci-fi, but..."

"So it can't fly, right?" Lin Yi asked naturally as his fingers unconsciously traced the keyboard of his laptop.

Now that the algorithm has calculated the approximate data and the model has been built, the next step is to discuss how to make this thing fly.

It was obvious that a group of people were completely baffled by the idea of ​​flying.

But Lu Hongxuan's words didn't end there. He gave a wry smile and continued, "If that were all, it would be fine."

"But the situation is far more complex than that."

"After fully exploring the experience of the first round, we made some adjustments in the second round, and input the detailed requirements into the algorithm, which quickly provided the answer."

"Then the modeler builds a model based on the data, and what comes out is an appearance that looks like a triangle, but doesn't quite look like a triangle."

"What does it look like overall? It looks like...like a ginkgo leaf!"

Lü Hongxuan emphasized the leaves.

Then, he spread his hands and said, "This thing still can't fly, or rather, the engines we can currently explore are not yet capable of making this thing fly."

"We adjusted the parameters again, and to ensure sufficient correction, we fed in more data and then performed calculations."

"That's great! The algorithm has directly brought out the airplanes from movies and TV shows for me!"
