They're already in university, and the primary school system is only just starting out?

Chapter 109 is not one-on-one

"Haha, not bad, not bad, you still remember me!" Professor Gong Qin laughed heartily, stepped forward, and patted Chen Lin on the shoulder without any hesitation. His small eyes were filled with undisguised admiration. "Your performance at the competition that day really stunned me! Your future is limitless!"

Chen Lin was a little embarrassed by his overly familiar enthusiasm and could only smile modestly.

However, the little doubt in his heart grew bigger and bigger.

He turned to look at Zhu Jianqing, who had a smile on his face, and asked, "Chairman Zhu, what... is going on?"

"Haha, Mr. Chen, don't misunderstand." Zhu Jianqing waved his hand with a smile and explained, "The technical bottleneck that Huanrun encountered this time is indeed quite tricky. Therefore, in order to find a solution as soon as possible, I invited several top experts in related fields in China through different channels. Professor Gong is an expert I invited through my connections at USTC."

He paused, a hint of approval in his voice: "Currently, the only ones willing to come and talk to us in person are your Yanhai team and Professor Gong's team."

Chen Lin understood instantly.

So today's session wasn't a one-on-one technical consultation.

interesting.

Zhu Jianqing was clearly a man of action; after explaining the situation, he didn't waste any more time.

He picked up the phone on the table, dialed an internal number, and succinctly instructed, "Pass the word down, prepare for a meeting."

Then, he personally led Chen Lin, Shen Yan, and Professor Gong Qin towards a large conference room outside the office.

When the conference room door was pushed open, Chen Lin saw that there were already more than a dozen people sitting inside.

Most of these people were wearing white lab coats and had serious expressions; they appeared to be the basic research team within Huanrun Pharmaceuticals.

Professor Gong Qin did not come alone.

Behind him were two young men who looked to be in their late twenties, both wearing glasses and exuding a calm and composed demeanor; they were clearly researchers.

"Come, let me introduce you." Professor Gong pointed to the two people behind him and said to everyone, "These are my two doctoral students, one named You Lie and the other named Lü Yi. I brought them here today so that they can broaden their horizons."

Chen Lin noticed that when You Lie and Lü Yi's gaze swept over Shen Yan behind him, their eyes lit up almost simultaneously.

Their eyes held a mixture of amazement and curiosity. One of them, You Lie, even unconsciously pushed up his glasses and straightened his back.

Gee tut.

Chen Lin secretly curled his lip in his heart.

It seems we'll have to let Shen Yan wear her high school-style casual clothes again in the future; this 0L outfit is just too much of a turn-off.

Just as Chen Lin was lost in thought, Zhu Jianqing began to introduce the two parties.

"Professor Gong, President Chen, this is Dr. Yan Feifei, the head of our group's basic research team."

Yan Feifei looked to be around forty years old. She wore frameless glasses and had neat short hair that made her look intellectual and capable.

Although she was wearing a formal white lab coat, it was still clear that she was wearing a high-quality business suit underneath.

She didn't have the unkempt appearance often seen in researchers; instead, she exuded a gentle and composed demeanor befitting someone who had held a high position for many years.

She nodded slightly to everyone as a greeting, and then, without any further pleasantries, walked directly to the large electronic whiteboard at the front of the conference room and opened the PowerPoint presentation she had prepared.

"Experts, time is precious, so I'll keep it brief."

Her voice was gentle and clear, her pace unhurried, carrying a rhythm that unconsciously drew the listener in. "When Huanrun Pharmaceuticals was conducting a clinical evaluation of a novel targeted drug, in order to improve trial efficiency, we decided to adopt the internationally leading Bayesian adaptive design approach."

"Simply put, we no longer use a fixed, unchanging standard to screen patients for enrollment. Instead, we hope to dynamically and intelligently adjust the enrollment threshold for subsequent patients based on the data accumulated during the trial."

On the electronic whiteboard, clear charts pop up, intuitively demonstrating the differences in the processes between traditional experimental design and adaptive design.

"Our goal is very clear," Yan Feifei pushed up her glasses, her tone becoming more serious. "We hope to obtain the most reliable experimental conclusions in the shortest time and with the fewest subjects, while strictly controlling the statistical risks of false positives and false negatives."

At this point, she took a deep breath, pressed the remote control, and flipped the PPT to the most important page.

That page contained no pictures, no flowcharts, only densely packed, complex mathematical formulas and definitions—enough to make anyone bad at math faint on the spot.

"And this is precisely the core problem we are currently facing."

Yan Feifei's gaze swept over everyone present, finally landing on Professor Gong Qin and Chen Lin. "We need to design a mathematical optimization framework to generate an optimal dynamic inclusion threshold adjustment strategy."

As Chen Lin listened, he was secretly amazed.

This time, he didn't need Shen Yan beside him to translate the complex medical background into mathematical language that he could understand.

Clearly, Dr. Yan Feifei had already refined the issue beforehand, removing all irrelevant medical details in order to facilitate efficient communication between the two parties.

This feeling was something he had never experienced before!

When Yan Feifei finished explaining every detail of the optimization task, from decision variables and state space to objective function, constraints, and several possible ways to solve the problem, a complete and ingenious solution clearly emerged in Chen Lin's mind, which was blessed with the title of "Little Mathematician".

However, he didn't rush to speak.

His enhanced eyesight, amplified by his "Little Champion" training, allowed him to keenly spot Professor Gong Qin's unusual movements from the corner of his eye.

He decided to hold back for now and see what the top students from USTC could come up with.

The first to speak was Lü Yi, the doctoral student next to Professor Gong Qin.

He cleared his throat, his face showing both excitement and rigor in the face of a challenging problem, and said in a deep voice, "Dr. Yan, your question is indeed very challenging. In my personal opinion, one of the biggest difficulties lies in the dimensional catastrophe of the state space."

As he spoke, he unconsciously straightened his back and glanced at Shen Yan almost imperceptibly.
