Study Monster Cultivation System-Chapter 295 - 294 The Li family all at once

Suddenly, cross-disciplinary massive learning occurred.

When not studied, it would seem terrifying.

And once truly undertaken,

it would only seem more terrifying.

What Li Zheng had to face was not merely an exam, but reality itself.

His first step was to reach the level of a Bachelor in Computer Science.

As a Senior Programmer, this was not difficult.

The second step was to achieve the level of a Master’s in Machine Learning.

This...

Was actually not very difficult either.

However, there are types of Masters: the idle Masters and the expert Masters.

As an idle Master, one could pass the exams, graduate smoothly, and just find a job.

As for an expert Master, one had to master a large amount of core knowledge in the field during the learning phase.

This included, but was not limited to, probability theory, statistics, approximation theory, convex analysis, and algorithm complexity theory...

The demand for mathematics knowledge here had surpassed all the competitions Li Zheng had previously participated in combined, equivalent to studying for about 80 Biology Olympiad gold medals.

Under such a level of mathematical pressure, Li Zheng’s learning time of just over 100 hours a day was actually insufficient; he should have been targeted more miserably by Zhuangzi.

Unexpectedly, in this desperate intensity of learning, a once inadvertent stroke of Academic Fortune played a role.

[Learning Talent: Mathematical Brain]

[Can convert problems into mathematical problems in thinking to the furthest extent, and complete possible calculations with terrifying neural efficiency.]

This talent, fostered under Jie Qifen’s tutoring and through reconstructing mathematical reasoning, had previously only been perceptible to Li Zheng in mental arithmetic and quick calculations. Its initial intuitive effect was simply an enhanced computational ability.

But now, as he delved deeper into mathematical studies, joining various groups and observing exchanges between masters and doctoral experts, it dawned on him that issues which perplexed many, such as Cholesky decomposition, Laplacian matrices, and normalized Laplacian matrices, were easily resolved by him, as naturally as water flowing downstream.

On the other hand, as his mathematical foundation grew stronger, looking back at the existing algorithms provided by Institute No. 11, things naturally became smoother, and occasionally he would even come up with some optimization ideas.

Unconsciously, the words spoken by Jie Qifen during their first meeting did not fade over time but instead became clearer—

"Mastering mathematics is very important not only for competitions but also for the future," he said."

I am learning now, Teacher Jie.

However, even learning up to an expert Master’s level was only the second step.

The third step was practical application, using this knowledge to engage in work and actually improve fault diagnosis algorithms.

This would require a great deal of project experience, needing true 996 for half a year to even be considered a beginner.

But for some people, while you’re still crawling in from the outside, they’ve already, like a monster, crept in unknowingly.

[There’s a monster who, every time you reach a higher level, you find she is still above you.]

[—Monster Lin Yujing]

Lin Yujing, having studied less than 1/20th of the content Li Zheng had, reached the Master’s level before him and sent Li Zheng [Optimization of Engine Faults Based on XGBoost and Auto-Regressive Models] and [Fault Diagnosis of Liquid Rocket Engines Based on Integrated Fuzzy Clustering Algorithms] at 5:50 PM on her third day of internship.

"I... I haven’t learned this yet..." Li Zheng, looking at the patchwork of algorithm documents, trembled slightly holding the mouse, "Do you even know what all this stuff is?"

"Not entirely, but there’s no need to know the trivial details," Lin Yujing kindly scrolled the document to the bottom for him, "Below are some related papers, I just adopted them based on their conclusions. It’s your hard job to figure it out."

"Any single one would require a week to understand, okay."

"Ah, why the lack of enthusiasm?" Lin Yujing teased, "Aren’t you the one who finished three books in one day? Wasn’t I supposed to be the one who couldn’t surpass you? Go on, learn~~"

"Damn it, fine, I’ll learn," Li Zheng gritted his teeth, "You’d better not be deceiving me. Are you sure these two approaches are viable?"

"At least better than the existing ones," Lin Yujing pointed at a row of papers on the screen, "assuming the data and results in these papers are not fabricated."

"Alright," Li Zheng rolled up his sleeves, "I’ll aim to understand it by today and then ask Institute No. 11 for a test server."

"Moreover, it’s feasible to do PSO optimization within the existing system," Lin Yujing moved the mouse over another document, "These are the papers and technical documents you’ll need, I haven’t looked at them closely."

"That’s enough, that’s enough…" Li Zheng hurriedly said, "Let’s just stick with these three paths for now..."

"That’s all? I was even planning to employ negative selection, and besides, have you learned morphological typing yet?" Lin Yujing narrowed her eyes, "It won’t be enough for you."

"I’m full, I’m about to burst." Li Zheng quickly waved his hand, "Go play Minesweeper for a bit… Oh right, my mom is in Africa helping with tech development recently, and my dad went to attend some international neurosurgery conference or something, so there’s nobody at home for three or four days. Wang Cai might be about to starve to death, or drown in his own poop, if you have time, could you take care of him?"

"!!!" Lin Yujing instantly collapsed, "How… how could you guys treat her like that..."

"I’d like to go back and take care of her myself, but only here can I connect to the internal network, linking up with the testing servers." As he spoke, Li Zheng pulled out a set of keys from his bag and slapped them on the table, "Here’s the key, help me check if she still has any vital signs."

"Me… go to your house alone..." Lin Yujing looked at the male-styled keychain with just a plain iron ring, hesitated for a moment, then suddenly snatched it away, "It’s all for the cat, don’t overthink it!"

"At this point, who has the mind to think about anything else." Li Zheng then turned back to his screen, had just keyed in two lines then suddenly turned his head, "Oh, and don’t go through my drawers."

Lin Yujing heard this, hurriedly packed her backpack, "Won’t go through them, won’t go through them~~"

"No… your expression has already given it all away…" Li Zheng stood up wanting to snatch the keys back, "Give them to me, I’ll take off the small key…"

Lin Yujing immediately protected the keys, kicked off her leg, and darted out.

"I~will~take~care~of~the~cat~"

"Damn…" Li Zheng grumbled as he sat back down at his workstation, biting his teeth, "Never mind… she would’ve found out sooner or later…"

...

At the same time, in an office building at Institute No. 1, the Reset routine meeting was held just like it used to be every half a week.

The meeting was presided over by Zhao Zhenhua, chaired by Chen Hongbing, with Shen Tinglan and all team leaders participating.

As usual, each team reported on the progress of the Reset project.

As usual, Zhou Chenglong, who had the biggest bags under his eyes from the tech team, reported first.

Though weary and tired, he still managed to dust off hair that had fallen onto his scalp, perked up, and spoke clearly.

"The tech team’s data analysis work is nearing completion, having achieved 87% of the planned progress, about a day and a half ahead of the schedule."

"Up until now, in collaboration with The Sixth Institute, we have proposed two highly probable fault models and four moderately probable ones."

"Out of these six fault models, five are purely engine failures. The Sixth Institute has tested four of them; one has basically recreated the Yellow 2 failure."

"The last fault model is due to overall rocket design, for which we need to start a test at the Western Suburb Test Site, hence we apply for the preparation of the test start."

Zhao Zhenhua suddenly asked, "What does it mean by ’basically recreated’? Explain ’basically’."

Zhou Chenglong gestured, "It means that in the recreated failure, the engine’s parameters match those of Yellow 2 before shutdown quite closely, but not exactly, because the actual launch conditions are more complex and each launch’s data varies."

"Then let me rephrase my question," Zhao Zhenhua continued, "how plausible is this fault model actually in matching the previous accident?"

Zhou Chenglong muttered, "Above 60%, I suppose."

Zhao Zhenhua’s expression visibly fell, seemed to want to say something, but also knew that everyone was having a hard time, and did not want to be discouraging.

"Secretary Zhao…" Chen Hongbing explained from the side, "Since we haven’t been able to salvage the body of Yellow 2, we can only recreate the accident using various models, just like a black box in a plane crash. We can’t get the rocket’s black box so we can never be 100% certain of the accident’s cause; 60% is indeed low, but the limit would probably be around 80%."

"The question is, how did you arrive at this 60%?" Zhao Zhenhua clapped his hands and said, "When facing the Reset review panel, we can’t just say it’s Zhou Chenglong’s personal judgement, right?"

Hearing this, Chen Hongbing quickly gave Shen Tinglan a look for help.

Shen Tinglan then spoke.

"The Fault Recreation Review has a set of passing criteria."

"Simply put, it involves comparing the recreated fault data with the actual accident data to derive a percentage accuracy for the recreation."

"According to the standard for fault recreation data, we can only reach 60% right now."

"But personally, I’m 99% certain of this accident model."

"I understand that." Zhao Zhenhua nodded, "I’ve looked at this accident model, and it indeed matches intuition and aligns with my years of experience in aerospace, but the problem is, it only meets 60% of the review standards. Even if it is the real cause of the accident, if it can’t pass the review, we can’t continue our work."

"It’s not necessarily a fail though…"

Just as Shen Tinglan was about to say something, Chen Hongbing suddenly raised his hand, cutting her off, and turned to He Zhongrui.

"Everyone has been under great work pressure recently. We’ll discuss the tech team’s issues independently later; let the testing team report first, and as each team finishes, they can leave and take some time to rest."

Shen Tinglan said no more, and Zhao Zhenhua also understood.

Only He Zhongrui was a bit flustered being suddenly named.

"The testing team here...the maintenance work for the test site is already completed, we can start testing at any time."

"Moreover, our group’s primary task remains to work with the technical team to check the experiment data, six people in two shifts, plus two interns, we’ve managed to achieve 5% progress this week."

"Oh?" Zhao Zhenhua smiled, "So those two kids are actually quite useful?"

"Useful... they’re extremely useful, Secretary..." He Zhongrui’s expression gradually became complicated, indistinguishable between sweet, bitter, or sour.

Logically, having two additional capable people should have been a cause for happiness, but he felt like he was in hell, being fried in a pot full of lemonade, with his whole being exuding a strange scent.

"Hey, you, He Zhongrui." Chen Hongbing pointed at him and laughed, "I gave you people, and you’re still not happy?"

"This... Director Chen, it’s hard to explain..." He Zhongrui said with a bitter face, "To be frank, not in a contradictory way, our testing team’s temple is too small, it really can’t accommodate these two ’deities’..."

"Hahaha." Zhao Zhenhua also rarely followed with a laugh, "Isn’t that a contradiction?"

"Not really..." He Zhongrui scratched his head, "You don’t know, I gave them both a workload of twelve hours per shift, then... Li Zheng, inexplicably, I don’t know when, would just finish the tasks of both people, and for the rest of the time..."

As he spoke, He Zhongrui swallowed saliva and looked up, saying, "For the rest of the time, they were all showing off... all studying."

Shen Tinglan suddenly glared: "What did you just say they were showing off?"

He Zhongrui was startled.

If this were a casual conversation, he would have already been cursing that dog couple.

But after all, this was a meeting.

Plus, one of them was the boss’s beloved daughter...

It was better not to expose them to their faces.

He Zhongrui could only stammer, "Showing off... I mean, showing while studying, showing studying, studying showing..."

Chen Hongbing laughed and asked, "What, got struck by high school students, can’t speak properly now?"

"Uh..." He Zhongrui, a honest person, thought about it and then nodded heavily, "That’s exactly it, Director."

"What?"

"Got struck by high school students, can’t speak properly now."

"Haha." Zhou Chenglong was the first to laugh out loud, "You kid, you have today too!"

"..." Chen Hongbing was a bit stunned as well, hurriedly asked, "So what exactly are they studying?"

"Algorithms related to fault analysis, artificial neural networks or something... I could understand it the first half of the day, then after a sleep, I couldn’t understand it anymore... Now I can’t even comprehend what they are saying..." He Zhongrui said with a bitter face, "It’s like struggling for two or three years to finish a master’s degree, and then others learn it in two hours..."

"That sounds a bit interesting..." Zhao Zhenhua said, rubbing his stubble, "These high school students are really proactive nowadays, just analyzing data for half a day, and they already know how to proactively find ways to make breakthroughs in their work."

"But... that kind of work isn’t something that can be done in a week or two, didn’t Institute No. 11 struggle for several years before barely making it work?" Chen Hongbing asked, "If they start learning from scratch, they probably won’t achieve much in a year, right?"

"Hey... that’s what everyone initially thought..." He Zhongrui turned to Zhou Chenglong, "You contact Institute No. 11 more often, did they mention these two?"

"Institute No. 11... mentioned them... wait... is it them???" Zhou Chenglong’s eyes popped wide with astonishment, almost jumping up, "It turns out to be them!"

"Why is everyone so shocked today..." Chen Hongbing snorted with laughter, "Is it because we’re still too vigorous, not saturated enough?"

"No no no no..." Zhou Chenglong, gesticulating wildly, said, "The other day I met someone from Institute No. 11, he told me they have plenty of resources, even recruiting PhDs in machine learning in pairs... I didn’t understand at the time, and he just walked away..."

"..." This time Chen Hongbing also couldn’t ask more.

Next to them, Shen Tinglan had her mouth open wide.

People from each department didn’t know how to continue the conversation.

But Zhao Zhenhua, more composed, thought for a moment and said, "Let’s ask comrades from Institute No. 11 if the work done by these two interns has any practical significance for the current Reset project, and if so, we’ll find a way to cooperate."

With this statement, He Zhongrui was the first to be stunned.

To say that their capabilities were underestimated in the testing team, and to bring them back, that was still acceptable.

But for our grand department to cooperate with them, that was a bit exaggerated, right?

"Why is everyone still so shocked." Chen Hongbing sighed, "At most I could only think of moving them to the technical team, but Secretary Zhao, your vision is indeed higher."

"Not really." Zhao Zhenhua pursed his lips, "I just worked a couple of years longer than you, saw too many underestimations, let’s let them fully express themselves first, if it doesn’t work, they can go back to suffering in the testing team."

After the departments finished reporting, Zhou Chenglong was retained and continued to discuss the unfinished matters with Zhao Zhenhua, Chen Hongbing, and Shen Tinglan.

At that time, Zhao Zhenhua questioned whether the current fault model, which only matched 60% of the evaluation, would likely pass.

While Shen Tinglan was expressing that it "wasn’t definitely impossible to pass," Chen Hongbing interrupted her under the pretext of letting everyone rest early.

Of course, the real purpose was not that; Chen Hongbing wished nobody would rest at all.

At this point, Shen Tinglan finally continued speaking.

"This fault data, it can be worked on."

"That is, repeatedly adjusting parameters, conducting tests, until a combination of parameters that satisfy over 80% of the accident data is derived."

"Simply put, it’s like pasting it over the accident."

"However, doing so doesn’t hold much significance and is very time-consuming."

"The only meaning is that, once it’s confirmed that this is the cause of the accident, the subsequent work can be quickly approved and started."

"And this matter needs the cooperation of The Sixth Institute, which feels a bit awkward to initiate."

After listening to Shen Tinglan, several people present fell silent.

Zhao Zhenhua and Chen Hongbing were weighing the pros and cons, the risks, and the benefits.

Shen Tinglan was waiting for the leadership to make a decision.

Zhou Chenglong was merely scared and didn’t dare to speak.

A moment later, Zhao Zhenhua urged Zhou Chenglong, "Quickly finish the remaining data analysis, lay out all possible fault models, and then pull The Sixth Institute for a discussion. We need all core technical personnel to make a judgment. If everyone affirms that this is indeed the reason, then we proceed."

"What if there’s no consensus?" Zhou Chenglong asked.

"Then we continue to argue and experiment."

Shen Tinglan then asked, "Secretary, what do you specifically mean by ’proceed with it’?"

Zhao Zhenhua smiled helplessly, "Just proceed with it."

With that, he stood up, waved his hand towards Zhou Chenglong, and said, "Chenglong, you have been working hard, but there’s no other way. Accelerate, accelerate, and accelerate even more."

"Yes!"

When the others had left and only Chen Hongbing and Shen Tinglan were packing up, Chen Hongbing sighed helplessly, "You tell me, your mind is brighter than anyone else’s when it comes to technology. Why did you have to ask Zhao such a clear question..."

"What?"

"Just ’proceed with it’. He said it already; there’s no need to ask further," Chen Hongbing laughed. "Do you want the secretary to explicitly say, ’Adjust the experiment parameters for approval’?"

"Oh," Shen Tinglan laughed naively, "just pretend it’s an experiment that produced the approval data on the first try, and it wasn’t specifically sought out, right?"

"Ah, I have to teach you bit by bit, more tiring than teaching my own daughter..." Chen Hongbing then asked, "Tell me honestly, is it definitely this fault?"

"Really, it can only be this reason," Shen Tinglan sighed, "It’s just… The Sixth Institute might have a hard time accepting it. The engine is their responsibility; they definitely hope the issue lies in the overall structure."

"Wait…" Chen Hongbing frowned, "If The Sixth Institute doesn’t cooperate, can we still achieve the necessary accuracy?"

"That would be unlikely."

"Then, what are the odds of passing with 60% accuracy?"

"60%."

"..."

...

At seven o’clock.

A figure stealthily snuck up to the front of the Li Residence.

First pressing the doorbell, then knocking on the door.

Just to confirm no one was home.

However, there was a cat at home.

"Meow~~~"

A pitiful and aggrieved meow made Lin Yujing instantly break down.

"Mommy’s here… Mommy’s here…" She could no longer contain herself and hurriedly fumbled for her keys, bitterly cursing under her breath, "All the Lis are Scum Chap, all of them are Scum Chap!"
