Super God-Level Top Student-Chapter 433 - 206: What’s the Use of What’s in the Sky? Better What’s Under the Water!_2

What Xu Changshu found remarkable was that even though he had now become the most coveted prize in the faculty, Li Jiangao’s approach to people and things was still pretty much the same as any other professor’s. In stark contrast to Qiao Ze, he could make people feel refreshed, as if basking in a spring breeze.
"Just finished eating?"
"Yeah." Li Jiangao smiled, lifting the lunchbox in his hand.
Xu Changshu hesitated for a moment and then said, "Hmm, are you busy? If not, do you mind if we chat for a bit?"
"Sure, what’s up? Have you come across a tough problem in your research?"
Although Li Jiangao was somewhat surprised, he still nodded in agreement and then walked over with Xu Changshu.
"Not really. Oh, by the way, did Qiao Ze tell you? He’s almost done with his thesis?"
"Yeah, he mentioned it in a WeChat message." Li Jiangao nodded.
In fact, Qiao Ze hadn’t planned on discussing his thesis with Li Jiangao before it was finished, but when Li Jiangao changed his WeChat account, he would surely notify Qiao Ze, and upon receiving his WeChat, Qiao Ze simply reported on the progress of his thesis.
After responding, Li Jiangao suddenly realized the reason for Xu Changshu’s lack of enthusiasm at the moment.
He seemed to have had similar feelings back in the day, anxiety that kept him up night after night, and he couldn’t help but laugh again, then took the initiative to say, "Do you also feel that Qiao Ze has completed this project too quickly? We haven’t even had time to react, and he’s already finished it?"
"Yeah, I almost suspect that Qiao Ze’s brain has been ’enlightened.’" Xu Changshu responded.
"Actually, you can’t say that Qiao Ze was fast; it’s mainly because he had a lot of accumulated knowledge." Li Jian thought for a moment, then comforted, "Let me put it this way, on the day I first met Qiao Ze, he told me he had been thinking about the problem of quality gaps for seven or eight years. So you shouldn’t be too discouraged."
From Li Jian’s perspective, he truly didn’t want Xu Changshu, a professor with clear talents in number theory, to be discouraged by Qiao Ze’s achievements.
"He has been thinking about this problem for so long?" Xu Changshu exclaimed in surprise.
"Yes. You didn’t know, did you? He told me that day that he was almost at the solution of the problem and it wouldn’t take much time to solve it. At the time, I thought it was quite marvelous. I expected it to take some time, but who would have guessed it would be so quick? But when all is said and done, it’s all about the accumulation of time."
Li Jiangao laughed and then patted Xu Changshu on the shoulder.
He was used to patting Qiao Ze’s shoulder, but lately, he had been almost too embarrassed to use this gesture to encourage Qiao Ze. Seeing Xu Changshu’s mood off, he subconsciously patted him again.
However, Xu Changshu seemed unaware and just responded blankly, "Does that mean Qiao Ze could already understand Yang-Mills Theory and started researching it when he was ten years old? I remember when I was ten, I was just in the sixth grade of primary school, barely getting my head around calculus."
"Huh?" Li Jian pursed his lips.
Okay, since when was ten years old sixth grade in primary school? Wasn’t that fourth grade? And who understood calculus in primary school?
Of course, that’s not the point.
The main thing was, this colossal misunderstanding made his well-intended consolation seem to have the opposite effect.
Well, that’s not his fault. It seems everyone has to get over their mental hurdles on their own eventually.
But then again, someone who mastered calculus at ten should be able to figure it out, right?
So, during the subsequent company, Li Jiangao spoke much less until the end when the two of them exchanged a look and then parted ways with an unspoken agreement.
Just after parting with Xu Changshu, it was less than two minutes before Li Jiangao’s new number rang.
He took out his phone, a bit surprised.
A new number not long changed, how come there was an unfamiliar call coming in? And a landline no less?
Oh well... Might as well answer it.
"Hello, is this Professor Li Jiangao from Xilin University of Technology?"
"Yes, I am. May I ask who this is?"
"Hello Prof. Li, my name is Bi Yuefeng. I’m the director of the Office of Technology and Quality at the GF Science and Technology Bureau. I have something to discuss with you; is now a convenient time?"
"Ah?..."
...
Up in the third floor’s lab, just as Qiao Ze decided to call it a day, Dou Dou suddenly forwarded him a special invitation from her inbox.
Qiao Ze skimmed the email.
The sender appeared to be from the Science and Technology Committee.
They were hoping to invite Qiao Ze, together with Li Jian, to help design a multimodal perception system for a large drone array project named "Mantianxing." Find more chapters on novelbuddy
The requirements were indeed quite demanding.
In addition to the most basic needs of stability, easy maintenance, and very high reliability, the system also needed to autonomously correct potential attacks or deception on the drone sensors, endowing the system with the ability to counter attacks and interference.

Most importantly, the system had to be able to control and command a swarm of drones, thousands and potentially more, simultaneously.
The project was cited as an important scientific initiative because the Science and Technology Committee had taken note of Qiao Ze and Li Jian’s demonstrated capabilities in the field of artificial intelligence system design, hence the desire for them to independently handle the system’s design.
If the proposed system design was adopted, they would not only reimburse all research expenses but would also award the title of Huaxia Distinguished Contribution Scientist.
Well, if it were not for trusting Dou Dou’s capacity to discern networks, with an official email account having sent it, by simply looking at the content, it felt somewhat like a scam.
As Qiao Ze pondered how to reply to the email, Li Jian’s call came through.
"Qiao, did you get the email from the Science and Technology Bureau?"
"Yes."
"I just got a call too."
"Oh."
"What do you think about this matter?"
"It doesn’t really matter to me, Uncle Li, are you interested?"
