Resurrection Empire-Chapter 836 - 320: Gold Shines Wherever It Is, Turning the Tide (Part 2)

Ma Xiaocheng knew that the hope of success was actually very slim.

The time from when the "net" showed potential danger to the outbreak of the crisis was too short, and the intensity of the outbreak was too high, much more abrupt than the one a hundred and fifty years ago.

Even though he had doubled the size of the algorithm project team's members in a very short time, the preparation was still insufficient.

According to conventional understanding, at least a total of three hundred teams and 15 S-level teams are required to rely on redundant calculations to raise the success rate to over 99%.

As it stands, the success rate is actually only 30%.

What could be done has been done, and the rest is up to fate.

Ma Xiaocheng stood up from his seat and paced back and forth in the office, with his eyes continuously focused on the computation progress displayed in the projection.

The computation progress is presented in a vertically elongated bar. The evaluation basis comprehensively considers the execution status of team leaders and members, synchronously giving a weighted value. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

In just five seconds, the progress bars of a total of 156 computing teams showed differences.

Except for Group 77, the newly established seventy-plus teams were clearly lagging far behind the others, with some groups' progress bars showing red.

This is because, according to the system's synchronized monitoring, the leaders of these teams made errors in the planning phase, leading to completely unreliable results.

As for the six S-level teams, their progress bars were noticeably higher than those of other teams, with slight differences among themselves, but not significant, and they were far ahead of the other teams.

This is normal, yet abnormal.

The abnormality lies in the fact that out of the six S-level teams, only five are mature teams tested by long-term work, while the other is the 77th team led by Ren Zhong, who was exceptionally promoted by Ma Xiaocheng at noon.

In two simulation calculations in the afternoon, Team 77 achieved results of 161 and 158 seconds respectively, gradually approaching the minimum standard of S-level teams, 150 seconds.

Team 77 has been improving, but the rate of improvement is continuously slowing down.

Ma Xiaocheng originally thought that Team 77 would hit a ceiling, stuck at the level of 155 seconds, and that they would have to wait for Ren Zhong to become more accustomed to the work of the computing team, or reallocate five higher-level subordinates to him, to gradually break through 155 seconds.

But to his utter surprise, when faced with more complex computational scenarios, this newcomer Ren Zhong not only didn't fall behind but advanced further, thoroughly catching up with the other five S-level teams.

Ma Xiaocheng never had the opportunity to know what the test-oriented education of the 21st century looked like.

In Ren Zhong's era, there was a legend.

The strength of academic achievers in test-oriented education often lies in effort.

These achievers form a powerful logical memory comparable to muscle memory through high concentration and extremely resilient self-training. When faced with common question types and their ordinary variants, they can quickly find a solution path and answer swiftly and accurately using their existing knowledge reserves.

But above academic achievers are the academic gods, especially those newly advanced through skipping grades.

The speed at which academic gods grasp basic knowledge is often much faster than ordinary people, which rarely requires them to spend time on repetitive logical memory reinforcement training and always keep acquiring new knowledge.

When faced with certain fixed knowledge point questions, because they lack fixed memory, academic gods' performance may not even be as good as academic achievers, but they can still deduce the answers accurately, albeit slightly slower.

But once a completely out-of-syllabus competition-level question appears, the difference between academic gods and academic achievers becomes apparent.

Long-term reliance on logical memory traps academic achievers in a predicament, but academic gods still use deduction to clear the fog and find a breakthrough path, though the deduction process is more complex and takes longer, they can still solve problems as long as the question itself is correct and achieve a good level of accuracy.

In a certain sense, the other five S-level teams in the algorithm project group are the academic achievers, and Ren Zhong is like an academic god advancing two grades higher.

The more complex computational mechanisms not only didn't trouble him but instead became a stage where he could perform even more adeptly.

Thirty-six seconds passed, and a "miracle" happened.

Team 77's progress bar suddenly leaped forward, surpassing the other five S-level teams, leaving them far behind.

This is because Ren Zhong was the first to complete the computation plan's formulation and dissection.
