I Play Dungeons in the Police Station-Chapter 392 - 240: Chief Designer

Qian Zhaoping copied the skull data and gave it to Su Bohai, who uploaded it into the software based on previous operations and clicked generate.

The familiar animation appeared once more, followed by the progress bar, entering a waiting period.

During the wait, Su Bohai kept an eye on Li Xiang’s expression, wanting to see any nervousness on his face.

But unfortunately, Li Xiang stood there calmly from start to finish, watching the whole farce with a detached look.

That’s right, to him, this was just a farce.

"Ding~"

The image was generated quickly, and five minutes later, it was ready.

Hearing the sound from the system, everyone gathered around, eager to see the results.

"It really came out, and this photo looks good. I wonder about the similarity score."

Seeing such a different photo, Su Bohai still hadn’t given up. He believed that Li Xiang had more than one photo hidden here, so he instructed Qian Zhaoping: "Bring the pre-death photo of the skull specimen."

"Already got it, here."

Qian Zhaoping knew that after the image was generated, it would definitely need comparison, so he had fetched it in advance.

Su Bohai brought the photo over and immediately noticed that the two photos indeed had similarities. This software wasn’t just putting some random pictures into the database to make do.

Especially after applying the face-matching program, adjusting according to the hairstyle and eyebrow shape in the photo made it even more similar.

Using photo software to compare the two images yielded a similarity score as high as 83%.

It should be known that this similarity score is already very impressive.

"How can this be real, Xiao Qian, bring the sample with ID: ST10014S too."

Su Bohai couldn’t believe it was real, or rather, he was unwilling to admit that one person had developed this software within a week.

If it were that easy, wouldn’t it mean they were too incompetent before?

Unwilling to accept, he asked Qian Zhaoping to bring another sample for testing.

However, the test results were equally embarrassing.

This time, the similarity score between the two photos was as high as 84%, a result almost reaching Professor Liu’s level.

If the program developed by Li Xiang stayed consistent, they might even use this software to fulfill their requirements.

"This is impossible, a single person, spending a week, developed a multimillion-line software that actually meets our needs, how is this possible?"

Looking at the photo in hand, Su Bohai seemed somewhat obsessed, but no one laughed at him at this moment because everyone was also dumbfounded, feeling as if their worldview had been shattered.

It turns out there really are such amazing people in the world.

Qian Zhaoping was thoroughly convinced. He had been a bit smug because he knew some programming, thinking that Li Xiang was just good at skull restoration, not wanting to boost others’ spirits while dampening his own.

Now, he suddenly realized that Li Xiang’s strength seemed to be not in skull restoration but in computer programming.

This is freaking— 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

Playing with stubbornness huh?

Comparing oneself to others can indeed be exasperating to death. Qian Zhaoping used to feel verbally convinced but unconvinced in his heart; now he’s both verbally and mentally convinced.

Respect.

This is truly a tech expert, a real hero capable of single-handedly turning the tide during Daxia’s peril.

"Nothing is impossible. On our vast land of China, there are always people more talented than you think."

Xiang Hui was naturally overjoyed at this result. With this software, their institute’s task was 80% complete, brightening his happiness.

He originally thought Li Xiang’s programming skills were just slightly lesser than his. Now it seems the gap is more than slight, it’s substantial.

"Can we take a look at the code of this software?"

As a professor, at his level, he could say he had seen all kinds of codes.

He once boasted such claims, but not anymore. He was clueless about what logic Li Xiang used to program this software.

This software was, after all, done by Li Xiang alone, embodying all of his efforts. Without his consent, they felt embarrassed to directly examine it.

"Go ahead, it’s no problem."

Li Xiang wasn’t a person who kept things to himself. If his program could help others advance, he wouldn’t mind.

Of course, the premise is they understand the code he wrote.

With Li Xiang’s permission, Xiang Hui eagerly stripped the software of its shell. One good thing was that Li Xiang’s software wasn’t encrypted. After removing a layer of protection, they saw the core code.

Just at a glance, they were stunned.

"Why are there no comments? What’s the meaning of coding like this?"

Li Xiang’s code, only he knew what it meant, and he didn’t have the habit of writing comments. The Artificial Intelligence "Xiaomu" also perfectly inherited this lack of commenting, leaving the entire code without a single remark.

It was extremely difficult for them; some parts were simply incomprehensible.

Su Bohai, another tech enthusiast, couldn’t resist his curiosity and wanted to know how Li Xiang’s software was done.

Thus, he too leaned in to look at the computer screen, only to find it all a jumble; it was simply unintelligible.

At this moment, he recalled how he had demanded to see the software first from Li Xiang, who said he wouldn’t understand, not out of contempt, but being factual.

He truly didn’t understand.

Thinking of this, Su Bohai’s face blushed with shame. Being a straightforward person, quick to laugh and quick to anger, he realized his ignorance and blushed before saying to Li Xiang: "Li Xiang, I didn’t expect you to actually complete the software development. It’s my own lack of insight, and I hope you’ll forgive me."

Li Xiang shook his head and said lightly, "No worries."

He never had the same mindset as Su Bohai. In the world of geniuses—no, in the world of cheats—it’s normal that ordinary people don’t understand.

"Li Xiang, what does this segment of code mean? What does your logic entail? How does it form an image?"

The more Xiang Hui looked at Li Xiang’s software, the more questions arose and the more he realized the widening gap between them.

Li Xiang integrated part of the Artificial Intelligence "Xiaomu" code into this software, elevating its level to the peak of world standards, so much so that even project leaders like Xiang Hui couldn’t fully understand it, hinting at the level reached by AI "Xiaomu".

After all, this was a system’s hidden reward, truly a piece of black technology.

Li Xiang briefly explained this segment of code in simple terms, and Xiang Hui suddenly looked enlightened.

Some matters come down to a thin layer of figuring things out; once pierced, nothing remains complicated, but if not surpassed, they remain worlds apart.

"Genius ideas, brilliant design, this is the best product I’ve ever seen. I have to say, all the programmers in our institute combined can’t measure up to you. This project’s leadership is something I accept undeservingly. I’ll apply now for Li Xiang to be this project’s chief designer."

Both in Skull Restoration Technique and programming, Li Xiang excelled, leaving Xiang Hui feeling unqualified to lead this project any longer.

"There’s no need, I just..."

Li Xiang hurriedly interjected. He merely wanted to use the institute’s supercomputer to study his stock model, not become any chief designer.

However, before Li Xiang could finish, Xiang Hui interrupted: "No need to say more; my decision is made. Everyone is here, so I officially announce that from now on, Li Xiang is the chief designer of our project. His words and commands are to be followed unconditionally. Understand?"

Xiang Hui’s prestige in the research institute was indisputable. Hearing his decision, everyone agreed, as society operates this way: the strong rule, and the winners take all.

"Understood!!!"
