Qi Yan didn't come out of the library until twelve o'clock in the evening.

The door slid open to both sides. Lu Fenghan, who was leaning against the wall, stood up straight, stretched out his long, sleek legs, stood in front of Qi Yan, lowered his eyes and asked, "Are you so happy?"

Even his footsteps were filled with joy.

"Yes," Qi Yan nodded, and then looked back at the rows of bookshelves inside the glass wall, "I haven't read many of them."

Lu Fenghan recalled the scene of Qi Yan moving back and forth between the bookshelves: "How many books did you read just now?"

"Thirteen."

Lu Fenghan remembered what Qi Yan had mentioned, and he could remember everything he had seen, so he asked, "Did you remember everything?"

"Yeah, I remember them all."

Lu Fenghan thought: Okay, reading a book in about half an hour - this doesn’t seem to be much different from practicing turning pages

The twin moons shone softly in the deep blue sky of Leto. The lights in the school were all turned on, and the marble-white buildings were shrouded in the night. From a distance, only the layers of outlines were seen.

Walking from the library towards the school gate, you will pass the equipment building, where the computer room that houses the large optical computer is located.

At this time, as long as you look up, you can see that the whole building is brightly lit.

Most lights stayed on until the next morning.

When Qi Yan entered the classroom, he found that almost everyone looked listless, with dark circles under their eyes.

He was a little surprised and asked Xia Zhiyang who was lying on the table: "What's wrong with you?"

Xia Zhiyang immediately started to complain to Qi Yan.

"Last night I spent three hours researching how to upgrade the rn3 model! Then, I used the upgraded model to mine data! It was fine at first, but after about an hour, my entire data model collapsed! It collapsed! Although I found out what was wrong with the upgraded model, it was too late, so I had to use the rn3 basic model to mine data again. Just five minutes before class, I finally uploaded the answer..."

Chen Mingxuan was seizing the few minutes he had to play games. After hearing Xia Zhiyang's wailing, he couldn't hold back any longer: "Although I successfully upgraded the model, I dug until dawn. Professor Fu lied! Upgrading or not, it doesn't make much difference. I still have to stay up all night!"

Xia Zhiyang was about to ask how Qi Yan was doing, but he noticed that Laurent, who was walking by with a recording board, deliberately stopped and said, "It's not that Professor Fu is lying, but some people are just too incompetent. The higher the degree of optimization of the processing model, the faster the mining speed. If the mining speed is fast, there is naturally no need to stay up late."

Hearing Laurent's sarcasm, Xia Zhiyang rarely did not retort - although Laurent had a bad temper and a sharp tongue, and his character was not very good, he was indeed smart. This time, he should be the first person in their class to submit the answer.

Unexpectedly, before he spoke, Laurent directed the finger at Qi Yan again: “As for you, transfer student, can you understand the first page of the first-year textbook?”

Xia Zhiyang got angry all of a sudden. He stood up and stood next to Qi Yan, crossed his arms over his chest, expressionless: "Laurent, don't feel so superior. Is it because no one taught you how to speak human language since you were a child?"

Laurent spoke in a drawn-out tone, deliberately speaking so that everyone around could hear: "Isn't what I said the truth? People like him should stay on a remote planet for the rest of their lives, and not come to Turan to embarrass themselves."

Xia Zhiyang was annoyed by these people who kept calling him a remote planet. What? People from remote planets are not human beings? Just as he was thinking about how to respond, the class time came. At the same time, the holographic projector started running, and Professor Fu's image appeared on the podium.

Sitting down, Lu Fenghan asked Qi Yan: "Will you be unhappy?"

He glanced at Laurent with a cold look in his eyes.

Qi Yan shook his head: "No."

He never gets upset over insignificant people.

Professor Fu greeted him first, then casually mentioned that it was raining on the planet he was on, and then changed the subject: "Has everyone submitted the final results of the data mining?"

A weak response echoed in the classroom: "Submitted."

Professor Fu smiled and said, "That's right, students. You should realize that learning and scientific research are not easy. They require time and patience. The process may be very tortuous and long, and you may constantly feel bored, frustrated, and even self-doubt. Of course, you will also have a sense of accomplishment, anticipation, excitement, and diligence in this process."

But Professor Fu's words did not resonate much, as most people's enthusiasm had been drained away by the all-night data mining the night before.

Professor Fu had anticipated this yesterday, and he changed the subject without hesitation: "Everyone completed the data mining before class and submitted the final results to me, which is very good. Here, I would like to commend the first three students."

Xia Zhiyang whispered to Chen Mingxuan: "The first one must be Laurent. Sometimes people's IQ and character are really not linked!"

Sure enough, the first name Professor Fu read out was Laurent.

"Laurent submitted the answer to me at 11:47 last night. This speed is very good."

Laurent sat in his seat with an arrogant look on his face. Amidst everyone's sighs, he turned his head and looked straight at Xia Zhiyang and Qi Yan who was sitting next to him with complete contempt.

Xia Zhiyang met this look and glared back without hesitation. He then looked at Qi Yan worriedly, but saw that Qi Yan was staring at a certain point in a daze and didn't notice Laurent's little move, so he didn't mention it.

"Next, student Qi Yan submitted his answer at 1:51 a.m. last night."

As soon as Professor Fu finished speaking, everyone in the classroom looked at Qi Yan, including Laurent.

He seemed incredulous, quickly raised his hand and asked, "Professor, are you sure it's a prayer?"

Professor Fu affirmed: "Of course, the answer comes from Qi Yan's personal terminal, there is no mistake about it."

Laurent frowned immediately.

Xia Zhiyang and Chen Mingxuan were also a little surprised. Sitting close to each other, Xia Zhiyang asked in a low voice: "Not only did you submit the answer, but you were the second one to submit it?"

Qi Yan nodded: "I did submit the answer at 1:51 last night."

Xia Zhiyang's eyes widened, and for a moment he didn't know where to start.

Qi Yan took the initiative to speak: "I said yesterday that I can complete it."

Xia Zhiyang then remembered that after assigning the homework yesterday, Professor Fu specifically asked Qi Yan if he could complete it, and Qi Yan replied that there was no problem.

Xia Zhiyang's eyes were fixed, and he felt that he needed to digest something.

Did he overlook something

Qi Yan said yesterday that if you don't know something, you can ask - what? Ask Qi Yan

Also, when Qi Yan was rushing to finish his homework the day before school started, he suggested that Qi Yan apply for a grade downgrade so as not to fall behind. Qi Yan replied that he would not fall behind in the course, which was also... the truth

What happened to the promise that we would all stand shoulder to shoulder with the poor students? !

Laurent raised an objection again: "Professor Fu, I think there is something wrong with the answer submitted by Qi Yan."

Professor Fu was a little surprised: "Student Laurent, what do you want to say?"

"I think the answer submitted by Qi Yan was not his own and was most likely stolen." As soon as Laurent finished speaking, the classroom immediately became quiet.

Professor Fu also frowned: "Student Laurent, please be careful with your wording."

Because the alliance attaches great importance to and protects scientific research, stealing other people's scientific research results or stealing answers are all very serious matters at Turan College, and every year there are students expelled for this reason.

Some people looked at Laurent, wondering why he was so hostile to this transfer student and even wanted to kick him out of school on the second day of school.

"I have a reason. Qi Yan had been living on a remote planet before entering Turan, and most importantly, he missed the entire first grade. How could such a person complete the data mining in such a short time? In addition, after submitting the answer last night, when I left the equipment building, I saw Qi Yan sneaking around downstairs of the equipment building. Maybe he wanted to enter the computer room to steal the answer."

Laurent looked at Qi Yan and said, "If Qi Yan wants to prove that he did not steal, he can log into the school intranet, connect to the database of the optical computer in the equipment building, and find the specific records of the data he dug last night and show them to everyone."

He looked determined, "How about it, do you dare?"

Amidst everyone's different gazes, Qi Yan answered in a flat voice: "I didn't go to the computer room last night."

Laurent sneered: "After being caught, you immediately admitted it? How can someone who hasn't even entered the computer room submit an answer?"

Qi Yan didn’t like Laurent’s aggressive tone: “I don’t need to go to the computer room. I have an optical computer at home.”

"Do you have one at home?" It was Professor Fu who asked this question.

He has taught in Turan for many years. For some students, if their parents are engaged in scientific research, their families will indeed have large optical computers. Or if they are very well-off and do not want to squeeze with others in the computer room, they may also buy an optical computer and put it at home.

He looked at Laurent, "Student Laurent, Student Qi Yan said he used the optical computer at home to mine data, and there was no problem."

Laurent quickly caught another flaw: "But, when I left the equipment building last night, it was 12:09. At that time, I saw Qi Yan downstairs of the equipment building. The surveillance video can prove that I was definitely not mistaken. It was Qi Yan himself.

Assuming that Qi Yan returns home in an hour, then I would like to ask, Qi Yan, how did you mine the data and submit the final results in less than 50 minutes? "

At this moment, many people's eyes changed when they looked at Qi Yan.

The rn3 model upgraded by Laurent should be the best that the model framework can achieve. Even so, it still took several hours to mine all the data.

Less than fifty minutes, how is that possible

The person next to Laurent spoke in a voice that was neither too loud nor too soft, but just loud enough for everyone to hear: "One fifty-one is also a strange time. I should be the third to submit, and I submitted my answer at two thirty. So, could it be that Qi Yan stole your answer, Laurent? He waited under the equipment building on purpose, and when you left, he quietly went to the computer room, found the data you dug up, and then gave the stolen answer to Professor Fu? It's a good plan."

Laurent said righteously: "Whether it was stolen from me or not is not important. What is important is, how can such a person be qualified to stay in Turan? It is difficult to admit that you are incompetent when you are not capable of doing something."

He turned to Professor Fu again, "Professor, do you think I'm right?"

Professor Fu did not answer quickly, but looked at Qi Yan, wanting to see what explanation he would give.

Qi Yan ignored Laurent and the man next to him, and just looked at Professor Fu: "The rn3 model has been upgraded to the best, but mining data is still too slow. I restructured a model, and it only takes ten minutes to mine the data capacity of yesterday's data packet."

Laurent sneered unabashedly: "Ten minutes? Qi Yan, do you have any idea of the amount of data in the data packet? At this point, you still refuse to admit it?"

His words were full of contempt, "As expected of someone who hasn't even read a first grade book. He can't even make up a story."

Professor Fu is looking at Qi Yan.

Her facial features were very delicate and beautiful, and she was very calm. In such a situation, her emotions did not seem to be disturbed at all. Facing Laurent's accusation, she was not panicked, angry, or took it seriously.

He remembered that the student's admission to Turan was approved by the principal himself.

"Student Qi Yan, can you tell me about the details of the model you restructured?"

Laurent: "Professor, this is obviously a lie he made up on the spot!"

Professor Fu smiled and said, "No matter what problem you are facing, you should not rush to draw conclusions."

He looked at Qi Yan again, "Student Qi Yan, is this okay?"

Qi Yan nodded: "Okay."

Professor Fu nodded and asked, "Do we need to go to the computer room together?"

Qi Yan thought for a moment and said, "No, the small optical computer in the classroom will do."

Compared with large optical computers, small optical computers have abandoned most of the basic components in order to reduce their size and weight and make them easier to carry and move. Correspondingly, their performance is less than one-fifth of that of large computers.

Therefore, to mine data, you need to go to the computer room and start a large optical computer, otherwise the minicomputer will crash in minutes.

Laurent glanced at Qi Yan, clearly disdainful of his words, and thought, if you pretend to know something you don't, it will be ridiculous when you can't get away with it.

Thinking of this, he opened his personal terminal and sent a message to a communication number without a remark name.

"Everything you said has been done."

And Qi Yan walked to the podium.

Although Professor Fu was just a shadow under the holographic projector, he politely did not go through it directly. Instead, he walked around a few steps and stood next to the small optical computer.

Professor Fu also stood beside him.

Qi Yan didn't need to think at all, his fingers fell on the keyboard very flexibly, and soon, lines of characters appeared on the screen.

Professor Fu looked at it for less than a minute, his expression gradually becoming focused. At the same time, he connected the display screen of the small optical computer to the teaching demonstration board in the classroom so that everyone could see it.

Xia Zhiyang, who was sitting below, saw Qi Yan quickly typed a whole page of characters, and asked Chen Mingxuan blankly: "Do you understand it?"

Chen Mingxuan frowned: "Do you understand?"

Xia Zhiyang: "I'm asking you because I don't understand!"

Lu Fenghan, who was sitting one seat away, was looking at the prayer on the podium with a focused expression.

Others may not know, but Lu Fenghan knows it.

When he got home last night, it was already past one in the morning. He followed Qi Yan to the study room and was sure that what was casually placed in the study room was actually a large optical computer. And judging by the logo, it seemed to be the latest model.

After Qi Yan turned on the optical computer, he typed on the keyboard for a few minutes and then imported the data packet in. Not long after, he turned off the optical computer again.

Lu Fenghan was still surprised at the time and asked, "What's wrong?"

Qi Yan replied: "I have submitted the answer."

"Didn't Xia Zhiyang say he was going to stay up all night? Did you upgrade that model?"

Qi Yan shook his head: "No, I didn't use the rn3 model. That model framework is not easy to use. I just rewrote one, and it only takes ten minutes to mine the data."

And because the model had already been built last night, Qi Yan simply re-entered what he had written down, so the speed was faster than last night. It only took six minutes to complete the model.

The classroom is quiet.

At first, some people were laughing and talking quietly, but gradually, everyone held their breath and watched Qi Yan operate his personal terminal in an orderly manner and transmit the data packet.

Import.

Start running.

Ten minutes later, the data mining was over.

The final result is displayed on the screen.

Professor Fu was still thinking about the architecture that Qi Yan had just used when building the model: "Did you use the PVC logic construction method for your basic framework?"

Qi Yan shook his head: "No, although the PVC logic construction method is widely applicable, it has very high requirements for equipment. If it is used, this one," he pointed to the small optical computer in front of him, "will burn out."

"So you made changes?"

"Yes, after the modification, the basic framework is more concise and the runtime occupancy rate will be much smaller." Qi Yan thought for a moment and added, "It is completely sufficient if it is only used for data mining."

The implication is that mining the data is sufficient, and if it is used elsewhere, corresponding modifications can be made.

Professor Fu looked at Qi Yan with complicated eyes.

Although it sounds easy to say, in reality, whether it is to abandon the rn3 model and write a new one, or to use the improved PVC logic construction method as a basis to make a new processing model - it is not an easy task.

If it is easy, why has there been no tool that can surpass and replace the rn3 model since its launch

Yet, right here, on this small optical computer, he saw it with his own eyes.

The person who completed this new model didn't even know what the significance of this model was.

He asked: "How did you come up with the idea of abandoning the rn3 model and re-architecting a model?"

Qi Yan thought for a moment and answered seriously, "I went home after reading a book in the library yesterday. It was too late and I was sleepy."
