Chapter 417: A Massive Project (Part 1)

The source code of Transforr consisted of over three thousand lines.

Zhao Qingfeng couldn’t possibly remember it all, but as a top industry professional, reproducing it wasn’t a problem, and two days were more than enough.

Seeing Zhao Qingfeng typing away at the keyboard, Li Ping was completely dumbfounded.

Was this some kind of show-off? What on earth was he writing? Li Ping had never seen such a code application pattern before. But it was understandable, considering that just the architecture of Transforr was divided into more than a dozen layers, and its modules were even more complex. This was a result developed by the Harvard University NPL team over six years, so naturally, Li Ping couldn’t understand a bit of it.

“Interesting…”

Zhao Qingfeng, focused solely on his task, typed on the keyboard while reminiscing about the past.

Memories of occasionally attending lectures at Harvard University were vivid in his mind.

If it hadn’t been for his guidance to the NPL team, they might not have developed Transforr even with an additional six years.

While he was busy, the teams from Hua Qing and Jida were even busier.

Unlike Jida, they had teams of 4-5 people participating.

With more people came more opinions, especially in innovation, making it easy to have heated debates about the direction of development.

“I think we should start with the agricultural assistance field, how about creating an agricultural assistance platform?”

“Not innovative enough, I think it would be better to take a step further in breaking through IPV6 core router technology, based on what the professor taught us before. It might not be a finished product, but it would be shocking enough.”

“That’s a good idea, IPV6 routers could break foreign blockades and ensure network security.”

“Let’s go with that then, hurry up and put in the effort, we at Ji Province University must win the first place!”

As expected of prestigious schools, they organized quickly.

Looking at Huaqing.

After some debate, they decided to develop ‘visual media intelligent processing’ previously led by their professor team.

The goal was to efficiently process three-dimensional geometric figures, a hot and challenging issue in computer graphics research.

If successful, it could be applied to various visualization projects, like large-scale street view systems, rivaling Google Earth abroad, marking a significant breakthrough for our country’s technological development.

Other universities were also planning intensely.

Shanghai University, Hangzhou University, and others immediately started building their projects after brief discussions.

After all, as the competition stated, due to various reasons, it was impossible for everyone to completely finish their innovative projects within just two days.

But.

The competition was testing innovation and feasibility.

The results would be judged by a comprehensive score. As long as it was innovative and feasible enough, it could win the favor of Professor Ma and the 863 Plan.

Time flew by.

In an instant, the sun set in the west.

The judges announced a temporary halt to the competition, to continue the next day.

Students left the auditorium, some confident because they already had a target, others disheartened, having discussed nothing productive all day, still stuck in old ways. If they didn’t come up with a feasible innovation plan by tomorrow, it was likely they wouldn’t make it into the top ten.

“Ji Province University students, wait up.”

Just as they left the auditorium, two seniors from Huaqing caught up from behind.

Li Ping was visibly nervous, having spent a day without being able to contribute anything.
