I Play Dungeons in the Police Station-Chapter 382 - 235: Joining the Project Team

In front of Li Xiang, his skills really didn’t dare to claim to be a teacher to Li Xiang, among experts, he’d be laughed at.

"Professor Liu’s health isn’t very good, he frequently needs to go to the hospital. Once you arrive, please assist Professor Liu to complete the task as soon as possible."

"Don’t worry, Bureau Chief Fan, I guarantee the task will be completed."

"Old Liu, I’ve brought the person to you. You can arrange for the following work first, I have some matters to attend to on my side, so I’ll be busy for now."

After Fan Yonglin left, Liu Shaoming sized up Li Xiang, still finding it hard to believe that this person was Li Xiang.

"Professor Liu, shall we begin?"

"Uh... alright... let’s start... I’ll first introduce you to the people in our project. I am responsible for the Skull Restoration Technique. The person in charge of computer technology is Xiang Hui. He’s not here today; he’s gone to apply for permission to use the supercomputer, a special report was made to speed up the project’s progress."

"Supercomputer?"

Upon hearing this term, Li Xiang’s eyes lit up.

A supercomputer is capable of executing large data volumes and high-speed computing unattainable by ordinary personal computers.

The basic components are not vastly different from the concept of personal computers, but the specifications and performance are much more powerful, it’s a type of large-scale electronic computer.

With strong capabilities in computing and data processing, the current speed of supercomputers can generally reach over a trillion calculations per second.

After Li Xiang’s Artificial Intelligence is developed, the ideal carrier would be a supercomputer.

It’s just that this thing is truly beyond his reach. No, he might have a chance to encounter it through research opportunities, but to fully own it and utilize the computing resources of a supercomputer, is simply impossible to think about.

"It’s not completely impossible either."

Li Xiang pursed his lips, thinking to himself that his future goal would be to have his own supercomputer.

"Having this supercomputer will be very helpful for our model calculations, and the research progress can accelerate significantly."

Liu Shaoming explained, though what he said was something Li Xiang already understood, perhaps even more proficiently.

"Professor Liu, I heard that another expert arrived today? Where are they? Have they arrived?"

The two were in mid-conversation when suddenly a hearty voice came from outside the door, reaching them before the person did.

"Haha, speak of Cao Cao, and Cao Cao arrives. Xiang Hui is back."

Liu Shaoming smiled and explained to Li Xiang, then said to the person who entered, "He’s been here for a while, we were just talking about you."

"Where is he? Let me see."

Xiang Hui looked around but didn’t look at Li Xiang.

Li Xiang was already used to it; his age was the biggest perplexity for them.

"Such a big person standing right in front of you, and you can’t see him?"

Everyone has a mischievous side, just now he had ignored Li Xiang due to his age, thinking he was merely Fan Yonglin’s assistant, now it’s Xiang Hui’s turn to take him for his own assistant.

"You’re saying it’s him?"

Seeing Xiang Hui’s eyes widen, pointing at Li Xiang with disbelief on his face, Liu Shaoming found it truly satisfying: "I too initially had my doubts like you, but since Fan Yonglin brought him over, it’s most likely true."

"Hello Professor Xiang, I’m Li Xiang, please take care of me in the future."

"To say take care would be exaggerated, we all work together, getting this program developed as soon as possible is the most important."

"Certainly, we can start working now, what do I need to do?"

Li Xiang was also eager to finish the work early. That way, he could get the bonus sooner.

"Good, I like young people’s drive like this. Professor Liu is aging, and with the large workload, his body can’t take it, so I’ll start arranging work."

Xiang Hui was also a workaholic, unwilling to waste even a moment. Seeing Li Xiang was ready, he didn’t bother with pleasantries and directly led Li Xiang to a room full of skulls and said, "These are skull samples allocated from the entire province, your task is to use your Skull Restoration Technique to draw the appearance of each numbered skull from when they were alive. We will then input your drawings into the computer according to the corresponding numbers, allowing our digital model to learn your restoration techniques."

There was actually no need for Xiang Hui to explain, Li Xiang already understood their project’s development process.

Seeing the room full of skulls, even Li Xiang felt a bit overwhelmed.

No wonder Fan Yonglin tried so hard to get him involved. The room was lined with rows and rows of containers, all filled with skulls, roughly estimated, there were at least twenty thousand.

If someone with a timid personality came in, they’d probably be scared out of their wits.

To have Professor Liu complete such a vast amount of drawing would be risking his life.

Failure to complete it was understandable.

"Little Li, how about showing us your skills?"

Hearing that the new young expert was about to show his skills, the people at the research institute all gathered around, forming several layers around Li Xiang.

Li Xiang’s skills, they were all what Fan Yonglin had boasted about.

Even though Liu Shaoming had seen Li Xiang’s masterpiece, he was still somewhat unconvinced in his heart.

After all, Li Xiang’s age was a fact standing there.

Li Xiang also knew that whether he could work steadily here and receive the bonus depended on his technical prowess to win them over, so he didn’t hesitate, directly taking a skull with the number: ST10010S from the shelf and began his research.

Instantly, everyone quieted down, the room was so silent you could hear a pin drop.

Afraid of disturbing Li Xiang’s work.

After ten minutes, Li Xiang asked for a pen and paper, and a quick-thinking young programmer promptly handed them over, "Here you go."

"Thank you."

Li Xiang expressed his gratitude, then took the pen and paper and started sketching away.

Everyone held their breath, watching Li Xiang gradually reconstruct the image from scratch, from outline to detail.

A portrait of a person emerged on the paper, seemingly as if it were printed.

"It’s him!"

Seeing Li Xiang’s drawing technique, Liu Shaoming was already certain that Li Xiang was indeed that person. Their drawing techniques and styles were exactly the same.

"Done."

Li Xiang put down the pen, and only then did everyone dare to speak:

"This drawing is as perfect as a photo."

"Don’t forget, this is a Skull Restoration Technique, what’s drawn is the deceased person’s appearance when they were alive."

"But, no one actually knows what the deceased looked like when they were alive, how do we know if what he drew was correct?"

"Funny you should mention that, there is indeed a way. I remember there’s a portion of our skulls that have photos of when the deceased were alive, used to compare the discrepancies after skull restoration. The skull with the number: ST10010S has a photo in the computer, wait a moment, I’ll go get the photo."

Perhaps because the number was memorable, a programmer had a vivid impression and remembered this little detail.

They quickly ran to their workstation, searched on the computer, and soon found the photo.

Upon seeing that photo, he was astounded.

"It’s alike, this is incredibly alike."

"Don’t just keep it to yourself, print it out so everyone can see."

"Okay." 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

As the photo was printed out, everyone compared the two pieces of paper, instantly being won over by Li Xiang’s Skull Restoration Technique.

Apart from differences in factors like hairstyle and eyebrows, which can’t be influenced by the skull, the rest were incredibly similar.

A programmer compared the two photos using software, showing a similarity as high as 92%.

Such a high level of Skull Restoration Technique was something they were seeing for the first time.

Previously, Professor Liu had demonstrated, but the photos he drew only showed an 87% similarity after a software comparison.

This level was already considered quite high nationwide.

That’s why he led this project’s development. Although Li Xiang’s result instantly outshone Professor Liu’s scores.

It seems like only a 5% difference, but at their level, even a 1% improvement is extremely challenging.

At this moment, everyone looked at Liu Shaoming’s expression, this live face-slapping, where does the old professor’s face go?
