When Jing Ming returned to the dormitory, there was no one there. Li Wei and Zhu Tao are both in the laboratory, and Zhang Ming seems to have gone to self-study.
He didn't turn on the light, he walked to his desk, slumped into the chair, rested his head on the back of the chair, and looked at the ceiling.
The light outside the window shines into the room, the light is dim, and there is no sound.
He didn't know what he was thinking, his eyes seemed to be looking at the void, at a certain moment, his eyes focused, his brows furrowed immediately, he suddenly stood up, and kicked the chair hard as if to vent his anger.
The innocent chair slid far away, bumped into the table, wobbled a few times and stood still.
Everything returned to calm again.
He took a deep breath, gritted his teeth to calm down, turned on the desk lamp, and was about to change clothes and go to the laboratory. When taking off the denim jacket, I took out the keys and other small items in my pocket, not wanting to take out two concert ticket stubs by the way.
He frowned even more, vigorously crushed the two pieces of cardboard into balls, and smashed them into the trash can. The denim jacket was also thrown directly on the bed, and he opened the closet, randomly pulled out a baseball jacket, and the closet door slammed shut.
He took the key and went out without looking back.
When they arrived at the laboratory, the team members were debugging the battlefield model to be used at the entrepreneurship exhibition in a few days.
Jing Ming walked around the battlefield, carefully checking if there was anything that needed to be improved.
He stopped at the corner and watched carefully.
On the side, the conversation between Li Wei and Wan Ziang came to his ears.
Wan Ziang: "Did you see it?"
Levi: "I see. The inertial measurement unit she made is very accurate."
Wan Ziang: "It would be great if there is another Du Ruo in our class who is as good as Du Ruo. Pull me over to help."
Li Wei sighed: "Hey, why did you let her go to orbit?"
Jingming: "..."
Fuck, I can't live anywhere!
…
When Du Ruo returned to the dormitory, all three roommates were there.
Xia Nan was applying a facial mask, Qiu Yuchen was watching British dramas, and He Huanhuan was sleeping on the bed eating snacks.
Seeing her come back, Huanhuan asked casually, "Where did you go, and I didn't see you go to the library."
"I went out to play with my brother."
Huanhuan didn't care, but Qiu Yuchen immediately stopped the computer: "Xiaocao, come here." He said as he pulled her chair in front of him, "Sit quickly."
"what?"
"Ask about a boy in your class."
Du Ruo leaned on the back of the chair and said with a smile, "Li Wei?"
"how do you know?"
Du Ruo stuck out her tongue: "It's just a wild guess."
"Just him. You have been in his class for so long, what do you think of him?"
"Didn't we prepare for a debate together some time ago? You don't know how he is?"
"I've only been in touch with him for a few days?" Qiu Yuchen said, "Tell me quickly, how is he?"
On the side, He Huanhuan sneered: "Xiao Ruo, praise him with more good words."
Qiu Yuchen glanced at her: "Eat your potato chips."
Du Ruo thought about it seriously, and said: "Smart, high IQ, good personality, honest, and principled, and he is very serious about things."
Now, Qiu Yuchen smiled openly: "I knew it, it's exactly what I thought!"
"you like him?"
"That's right." Qiu Yuchen didn't hesitate, raised his eyebrows, "I'm going to chase him!"
Du Ruo admired: "You really have courage."
Xia Nan put on the mask and said inarticulately: "Naturally, if you like it, you have to go after it, otherwise what should you do if you are snatched away by others?"
Du Ruo: "Then what if you get rejected?"
Xia Nan: "It's better than holding it in all the time, with no results."
"That's the reason!" Qiu Yuchen was very excited, jumped in front of the mirror, and turned around in the mirror. She was of standard height, moderate figure, and average appearance. She could make up for extra points.
She took a picture from left to right, and He Huanhuan lay on the bedside looking at her like this, screaming, "Love makes people beautiful. I want to fall in love too! Right, Xiaocao."
Last year's sports meeting, when the two girls were sitting in the stands on the playground looking forward to their love, they were still a united front. But now...
Du Ruo shrugged, showing no interest: "I don't want to fall in love at all right now. It's as it is now, super good."
He Huanhuan pointed at her: "Hmph! The alliance is broken!"
Du Ruo giggled: "Okay, goodbye!" After finishing speaking, he pulled his chair back to the desk, and took out a stack of orbit project materials to read.
Next week, the Exhibition Conference of College Students' Artificial Intelligence Entrepreneurship Projects will be held as scheduled. Orbit's automatic braking project is the core introduction, and she is going to be busy again.
…
As soon as the weekend is over, it will be the 28th.
As a top science and engineering university in the country, Du Ruo's students are famous for their high professional skills and strong scientific research and innovation capabilities. Therefore, the university's biennial college student entrepreneurship project exhibition conference will attract investors, companies, and large enterprises from all over the country and even abroad to visit and cooperate. The conference has also become an incubator for countless tech startups.
The exhibition was held in the school's new gymnasium, with a grand scale and numerous booths. Each department carefully presents the projects of teachers and students of the school.
The theme of this year's conference revolves around artificial intelligence.
When Du Ruo walks into the exhibition hall, it is like entering the future science fiction world—vr experience, robot, face recognition, artificial language... The application scope ranges from manufacturing to home users, all kinds and varieties.
She wandered around, interested in all of them, but unfortunately she didn't have time to observe them one by one, so she had to rush to the orbit exhibition area.
As soon as he walked to the entrance of his exhibition area, he saw Jing Ming walking towards him. He was wearing a black shirt today, and his demeanor was set off cold and cold.
He strode forward, turned his head and said something to Li Wei, turned his eyes to meet hers, his expression was cold, and in the next second, he looked away and walked into the prime exhibition area.
Du Ruo froze for a moment, didn't quite understand, but didn't think too much, turned and left.
Orbit's automatic braking and prime's unmanned driving are the key promotion projects of their college and even the school, occupying the most central position of the exhibition.
The two exhibition areas are separated by a sightseeing corridor, facing each other, as if they are fighting in a ring.
The atmosphere on both sides is completely different.
Yi Kun's team members are on standby, all in suits and leather shoes. The display cabinets are beautifully designed, layered on top of each other, and various models and machines are placed. Even the promotional brochures are in shape.
The background version is also prepared quite wonderfully. There is an automatic braking system in the center, which radiates out various application fields in a divergent shape: transportation, processing, manufacturing, aerospace...
On Jingming's side, the team members are all black except for their tops, and their clothes are not formally uniform.
The background boards on three sides of the exhibition area are sky blue, with no promotional slogans or slogans, only a white flying prime word, which looks extraordinarily clean and fresh in summer.
There are no showcases either.
A huge sand table in the center of the exhibition area occupies almost three-quarters of the exhibition area, leaving only a narrow passage beside it for people to walk.
Inside the sand table are microscopic models of city streets, buildings, trees, overpasses, and roads; the terrain is undulating and the roads are winding. Self-driving cars shuttle back and forth in every corner of the "city".
This display method is too intuitive and interesting. After a while, the prime exhibition hall was overcrowded. Students, investors, and entrepreneurs all gathered around the sand table to take pictures and discuss a lot.
Du Ruo was also curious about the big sand table, but didn't go to see it.
The scene when she met Jing Ming just now made her feel a little apprehensive. She didn't know if he was in a bad mood or something, anyway, it's better not to hit the gun.
Visitors to the orbit are also in an endless stream, and Du Ruo is soon busy explaining to entrepreneurs who are interested in cooperation:
"Orbit's automatic control and automatic braking system is accurate in distance measurement, safe and efficient. This is our simulation operation demonstration, as well as models and finished products..."
"You specialize in control and braking systems?"
"That's right. Specialize in this item, so the technical aspects are constantly improving. Now we can carry out targeted design and adjustment according to the needs of our partners." Du Ruo said fluently, "Like the transportation industry, processing and manufacturing industry, production industry, The automotive industry... can be used wherever labor needs to be replaced. May I ask which industry you are in?"
She received her clearly and patiently here, while Yi Kun looked back at her there, quite surprised that she was well prepared. After all, she is just a helper.
Li Qinghe said: "She really puts her heart into things."
Yi Kun didn't speak, and lowered his eyelids, thinking about something.
Li Qinghe said again: "Although she didn't participate in the core project of the laboratory, she was not idle and helped repair a lot of sensors for our project. By the way, I have seen the inertial measurement unit she developed, and the accuracy is very high."
"She is very good." Yi Kun said, glanced at Wu Zhengbo beside him, and said, "I think she can be considered to officially join Orbit."
Wu Zhengbo was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "She is doing a good job as a laboratory assistant, let's do it first, and when you come back from Germany, the team will formally discuss it."
"OK."
Wu Zhengbo glanced at his watch: "It's almost noon, are you going to catch a plane?"
"Um."
Yi Kun and Li Qinghe didn't stay for long, they withdrew at 11:30.
Du Ruo and the rest of the team members continued to stand firm.
The peak of the crowd lasted from 9:30 am to 1:00 pm, and then eased.
By four o'clock in the afternoon, the boys were all suffering from sore backs and dry mouths, not to mention that Du Ruo, who stood in high heels for a whole day, was about to break his feet.
Fortunately, the harvest was rich.
Many investors and enterprises have expressed their cooperation intentions and exchanged contact information. The specific cooperation will be considered and negotiated after the follow-up screening.
When it was almost five o'clock, there were only a few visitors left in the exhibition hall.
The reception task was instantly relieved, and several brothers on the orbit side were interested in the opposite battlefield, so they went to visit.
Du Ruo took a glance, Jingming and Li Wei were not there, only two or three boys stayed behind, and the visitors were gone.
She had been curious for a day, and couldn't help it, so she slipped to see it too.
The moment she saw the battlefield, she couldn't help opening her mouth slightly.
In this huge microcosm, everything comes to life. High-rise buildings, alleys with low walls, overpasses, ring roads, traffic lights, signs, sidewalks... Countless cars are driving automatically on the road. Stop at a red light, go at a green light, and give way to "pedestrians".
Tiny robots walk and cross the road.
Orderly.
Breathtaking.
Du Ruo was amazed for a long time.
Where she was standing, there was a square mark on a small street in front of her, and there was a sign next to it: "Experience area."
She reached into the sand table and touched the experience area on the "road", but there was nothing unusual. She was about to withdraw her hand when a "car" drove over on the road. It "saw" Du Ruo's finger in the middle of the road, slowed down, stopped two or three centimeters away from her finger, and waited patiently.
The small cars driving behind it stopped one after another and lined up obediently.
She slowly moved her hand away, and saw the car restarted and meandered along the road.
Amazing!
She sighed inwardly.
On the side, someone said gently: "Your idea is very good, and the microcosm is also done perfectly. However, the current transportation infrastructure does not match your system, and there are various policies and regulations. Have you considered it? "
Du Ruo was taken aback, then turned her head, and there was an old man with gray hair standing in front of her, looking at her warmly.
She was wearing a suit, so she might be mistaken for the commentator of this exhibition area.
She was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to answer, when a boy's low and clear voice came from behind:
"The popularization of unmanned driving will promote the construction of related transportation infrastructure and the continuous improvement of relevant laws."
Jing Ming appeared behind her at some point,
He said,
"Science and technology should never be restricted by human rules. Technology is used to break old rules and build new ones, and to promote innovation and even social change."
"Technology is used to break old rules and build new rules." The old man thought about this sentence, nodded approvingly, and said, "Young man, you have courage."
Du Ruo looked up at Jing Ming's side face. The black shirt complemented the young man's handsome figure, his lips were red and his skin was fair, and his eyes were shining brightly.
And the old man with outstanding temperament quickly asked: "Why do you want to break the rules? Since there are already humans driving, why bother to let the machine imitate humans and engage in unmanned driving?"
Jing Ming: "Robots do not imitate humans, but help solve problems that humans cannot solve, such as inefficiency, high risk, congestion, redundancy, and disorder."
The old man smiled.
He turned his head to look at the huge sand table again, and there was a trace of youthful enthusiasm in his old eyes. I don't know what the old man was thinking about, but he sighed sadly: "Research and innovation are a road of asceticism."
Even Du Ruo could tell that this old man was definitely not a layman, no matter his temperament, conversation, or other things.
Rather than saying that he has confusion to ask, it is better to say that he is testing.
"Young man, will you feel anxious or depressed when walking on this road?" the old man asked suddenly.
Jingming: "How to say?"
"Europe and the United States, whether it's this research or other AI projects, most of them are decades ahead of us. You are young and energetic, I am curious, will I be impatient?"
Jing Ming snorted lightly and laughed: "If this was a 100-meter race, then we would lose. But..."
He smiled and said seriously:
"Artificial intelligence is a marathon. Take unmanned driving as an example. The successful development of a car only runs the first 100 meters. This 100 meters cannot determine the outcome. There are still dozens of kilometers waiting. Whoever loses Win, it's not certain."
Du Ruo was startled and looked at him.
There is arrogance and determination in the young man's eyes.
The old man was speechless, and an imperceptible touch flashed in his smile. He pondered, nodded slightly from time to time, and finally said: "Young man, I hope to have more opportunities to communicate with you in the future."
Jing Ming gave him a prime business card.
The old man took it, put it away carefully, said goodbye, and left.
After Jing Ming watched him leave, he stood there for a while.
He vaguely guessed who he was, but wasn't quite sure.
He didn't think about it any more, but when he looked back, Du Ruo was still standing by the side of the battlefield.
He walked over with no expression, picked up a slower automatic car from the battlefield, and checked its battery.
Du Ruo was curious, and asked subconsciously: "This car is so small, how is the sensor installed inside?"
He ignored her.
It was as if he hadn't heard her speak.
She was suddenly a little embarrassed, her face flushed slightly, but fortunately, there was no one around. She grabbed her fingers, pursed her lips, and slowly turned around and sneaked away.
After Jing Ming changed the battery and put the car back on the road in the microscopic world, he slowly raised his eyes and took a look at her receding back.
