Inside the break room, He Zhongrui wasn’t sleeping, but making a phone call.
He was excitedly making a phone call.
"Double championship? No wonder!"
"Yes, yes, yes, but his basics are even better than you described."
"He must have self-studied a lot of the professional content in advance."
"Honestly, his skills should take him to the technical team, after all, that’s where the major focus is."
"Hey, we’re a bit tired, but that’s nothing new. The party secretary said, at the current stage all work revolves around ’Reset,’ as long as we can complete the task quickly, you can transfer all my people."
"Lin Yujing? Even transfer her back?"
"No, no, Lin Yujing’s work experience... still has a lot of room for accumulation."
"How long? I reckon, it must be at least half a year..."
"Alright, let’s have Li Zheng talk to Zhou Chenglong first."
"What, one o’clock in the afternoon?"
"Damn, another eting."
"No, no, no... I wasn’t talking about you."
After hanging up the phone, He Zhongrui rubbed his chest before getting into bed.
He didn’t intentionally want to split these two apart, it’s mainly because Li Zheng was indeed too outstanding, He could play a greater role in the technical team.
As for Lin Yujing.
Her being around increased the team’s efficiency by 30% and reduced their sleep by 50%; how could he let her go?
...
A few minutes past twelve, the cleaning lady knocked on the door.
"Lunch is ready."
Hearing this, the three engineers on duty in the machine room all stretched lazily.
After all, they were just there to finish their tasks, not really invested in it.
The task at hand was unlikely to yield any results.
All these test data had been analyzed before, using manual, software, and mathematical analysis, and now going through it again with even stricter standards really seed like a desperate attempt for a cure.
This was sothing Chen Hongbing insisted on; he believed that since there was a problem, there must be so characteristic in the thousands of previous tests that if identified, could pinpoint the key to the fault.
Shen Tinglan agreed with this approach but opposed letting the testing team rigorously work with these old data at this stage.
Her view was, since the issues weren’t found in thousands of previous tests, wielding the sa thods now would be unlikely to unearth anything; and even if there was a chance, it couldn’t be achieved by simply doing overti.
It was like reviewing a test—Yellow 2 had reviewed this paper many tis, and yet, errors were still made.
If one were to compare it to the person working on a test paper, then this kind of error has already surpassed the scope of the tester’s thought process, and reviewing it one more ti would be aningless.
Rather than that, it would be better to incorporate new ideas and redo it.
Or perhaps they should invite external experts to review it with fresh perspectives.
In short, having the testing team work themselves ragged on this was less useful than supporting other groups.
Even just taking a few days off to recharge and prepare for the upcoming intensive tests would be more beneficial.
However, in the end, Chen Hongbing still insisted on his views.
According to him, facing issues with self-review was a necessary attitude; he needed the testing team to undergo "past error correction" as a way to express a self-reflective attitude to the supervisors and colleagues. This also pressured The Sixth Institute to undertake similar corrective actions.
Thus, the testing team was left with no choice but to work double shifts on tasks that were unlikely to yield results.
They were aware of this, hence although the workload was heavy, they went to eat as soon as the aunt called and switched shifts when necessary, not becoming too absorbed.
But...
That was the state a day ago.
Now, upon receiving the lunch signal, although the three engineers habitually stretched, none of them got up.
The so-called straight n, due to limited experience, can only find the most direct and basic reasons when communicating with girls.
For example.
"Drink more hot water."
"Don’t eat cold stuff, it’ll upset your stomach."
"Go to sleep early."
Beyond that, they couldn’t even think of saying sothing like "Do you have dreams?"
For the three engineers in the machine room.
The aunt’s call to lunch was undoubtedly a golden opportunity for conversation.
More than golden, it was diamond grade, the strongest of champions.
Just think about it.
"Xiao Lin, wanna grab so food?"
With just five words, he naturally accomplished the usually difficult task of striking up a conversation.
If all went well, they could even have lunch together, achieving 20 minutes of close contact.
It is worth ntioning that the three engineers present were no ordinary n.
In their lives, aside from their mothers, they had never had such extended close contact with any female.
In middle and high school, they focused solely on their studies.
In college, they hoped to et cute girls, but since they attended a hardcore STEM university with only 17% female students, and those girls were even more hardcore than them,
they ended up focusing on their studies again.
At work, they thought they would et beautiful female colleagues, but they had forgotten this was The Sixth Institute’s division one, where the female ratio was only 2.6%; in the testing team, due to frequent graveyard shifts and all-nighters, the female ratio had been a consistent 0% from the start!
Compared to their work environnt, college was practically a paradise of beauties.
And today, just today.
She appeared.
It was as miraculous as it was unbelievable.
She descended like an angel from heaven.
Facing such a miracle, such an angel,
even if it ant risking their lives, tearing off their faces, they had to muster the courage to ask those five words.
Xiao Lin, wanna grab so food?
Just as the three of them were about to stand up,
because their movents were too synchronized, they resonated.
Looking at each other with determined eyes, ready to do whatever it took, even if it ant being shaless.
They then realized each other’s presence.
Next, they each showed a hint of scorn.
Couldn’t beat the scumbags in school, but can’t beat you, lad?
The engineer with the most hair, and a hair retention higher than 35%, imdiately stood up, leaning on the table and looking toward Lin Yujing.
The other two knew it was bad but were helpless.
This guy is too bold… Just going for it like that…
The high-haired engineer was about to speak, but when he saw that Lin Yujing was still focused on her screen without any signs of wanting to eat, his heart tightened…
And he sat back down.
Still didn’t have the guts to speak up directly...
Useless!
The other two thought as they also turned their gazes toward Lin Yujing.
But likewise, they didn’t have the guts to speak up, not even daring to stand, not to ntion doing as much as the high-haired engineer.
The reason was straightforward.
What if Xiao Lin didn’t want to have lunch?
"No need, you go ahead."
"You’re disgusting, I definitely won’t have lunch with you."
"I’d rather starve than have lunch with you."
Thinking of these, the three of them gradually beca solemn and then began to feel sad.
Being rejected is a fate worse than having nothing happen at all.
If that happened, they might not even have a reason to speak to her ever again.
In so many days to co, even if there was a God-given opportunity, with Xiao Lin on a solitary shift, they wouldn’t be able to ask her to dine together...
Such a cost.
Could they bear it?
At this life-and-death decision-making mont for the three engineers, they didn’t know that actually, Lin Yujing...
Was very hungry.
She seed to be looking at her screen, but in fact, all her vision was focused on observing from the corners of her eyes, thus appearing utterly absorbed.
Why has no one stood up to have lunch yet!
Do these programrs survive by eating their own hair?
As a newcor, being the first to eat right on ti isn’t good.
Of course, Lin Yujing didn’t know any of these, all these had been forcefully educated into her by Shen Tinglan just last night.
Shen Tinglan knew very well that if his daughter behaved with her naturally terrible character, she would definitely be hated, but since the testing team was all her subordinates, too timid dripping with ekness, none dared to argue with his daughter.
This would inevitably lead to the daughter bullying an entire group by throwing her weight around.
Therefore, she instructed Lin Yujing to never act on a whim and to always express respect for others in the details.
So, although Lin Yujing was very hungry, she still had to wait for others to eat first or at least wait for soone to invite her to eat.
Unfortunately, despite the low floor level, for the three engineers who were used to being at minus ten or so levels, this was sothing completely obscure and unthinkable.
As a result, the control room fell silent for 5 minutes.
No one moved to go eat.
Just as one of them couldn’t take it anymore and was about to sneak off to eat,
the aunt suddenly pushed the door open again.
Lin Yujing and the three engineers all brightened up at the sa ti.
Perfect timing!
Hurry and urge us to eat, quick!
The aunt was actually there to hurry them along too, and she had already opened her mouth.
But seeing everyone so engrossed in their work, all anxious and sweating profusely...
How could she bear to interrupt?
On the contrary, she felt quite moved.
Seeing the country’s aerospace engineers so dedicated, she almost wished she could take out her phone and send a righteous beam of light out.
It was just unfortunate that photography was not allowed here; she could only smile with satisfaction, quietly leave, and gently close the door behind her.
This action further plunged Lin Yujing and the three engineers into deeper despair.
It’s said that necessity is the mother of invention.
At such a ti, the hungriest person had no choice but to make the first move.
Lin Yujing scanned the entire control room out of the corner of her eye.
The three engineer uncles were all busy with their tasks, exerting much effort. She figured bothering them now might make them dislike her, and she couldn’t trouble her mother with that.
As for Li Zheng next to her, he was staring at the screen, deeply engrossed in his studies.
Interrupt him!
"Ahem..." Lin Yujing gently tapped the desk, "How’s the work assigned to you coming along?"
The three engineers shuddered simultaneously.
It was a feeling of heartbreak.
How co... the angel went straight to soone else’s house...
She finished her work without giving any signal...
Li Zheng, having his study interrupted, was quite annoyed and stated sowhat discontentedly, "I finished it a long ti ago."
"Then why aren’t you going to eat?" Lin Yujing blurted out, digging a pit for Li Zheng.
If Scum Chap offends soone, that has nothing to do with .
"I’m right in the middle of an exciting part of this engine structure; if I don’t understand this part, won’t all my studying be wasted?" Li Zheng complained, "I’ve told you so many tis, don’t interrupt my studying."
"???" Lin Yujing glared, showing her claws and baring her teeth, "You looking for a scratch, Scum Chap?"
"Eh, if you must scratch, then scratch," Li Zheng waved his hand, "I’ll let everything else slide, but you can’t interrupt my studies. I won’t budge on that."
Seeing Li Zheng so resolute, Lin Yujing couldn’t be unreasonable and just snorted, turning her head to say, "But you still need to eat..."
"5 minutes, just let finish this part."
"Fine~~" Lin Yujing cheerfully started playing Minesweeper, "Then you get up first when it’s ti, I’ll follow~~"
They had no idea what a terrible blow this simple, normal clash had delivered to the three engineers.
All they saw was a compliant and humble angel, pleading pathetically.
And that devilish jerk, not treasuring the opportunity to have a al with an angel...
Still fucking studying?
We’ve been studying all this ti, talk about what that’s gotten us!
In despair, the high-volu engineer lanted as he stood up, speaking to the mid-volu engineer, "Let’s go, it’s ti to eat."
Lin Yujing’s ears perked up.
Finally, soone was going to eat so she didn’t have to wait for Scum Chap!
However, the response from the mid-volu engineer shocked everyone.
"Eh, I’m at an exciting part of this data analysis; you go ahead."
Then, he revealed a mysterious smile, picked up the mouse, and started operating.
The high-volu engineer then realized sothing.
Could it be that the angel prefers n who are dedicated to their work and studies?
So that’s why he was so obedient to that devil?
Not good.
The colleague in front of him had obviously realized this before he did.
After wrestling with his thoughts, the high-volu engineer forced himself to sit back down at his workstation despite his hunger.
"Then I’ll do another set of data too," he said, shaking his head and managing a face full of sweat, "Man, once you start working, it’s addictive."
Damn!
Lin Yujing was cursing in her mind.
And right off the bat, she stepped on a landmine, dead.
What kind of people are in this computer room!
A nest of Scum Chap uncles.
So, another standoff followed for 5 minutes.
Li Zheng suddenly stood up from leaning on the table, very excited.
"Done, let’s go."
"Uh..." Lin Yujing finally shut off Minesweeper, weakly rising to her feet.
Li Zheng took a step out then rembered sothing, wanting to turn back and call the seniors to eat together.
"No no no..." Lin Yujing, pulling Li Zheng, quietly observed the three n imrsed in their work, intoxicated by their own coolness, whispering, "They’re all busy with their tasks, let’s not disturb them..."
"Looks like it," Li Zheng agreed with a nod, "Their work posture is really standard."
"Okay, okay... I’m starving..." Lin Yujing dragged Li Zheng and they left the room.
She made sure to close the door behind them.
In the computer room, only three bewildered engineers remained.
Their sadness was too obvious, like untalented actors.
The deeper into their act they got, the less they could cry.
In the end, having finished their work, they walked into the cafeteria, like wounded souls, keeping a distance from Li Zheng and Lin Yujing and settling down at a table in the corner.
Li Zheng chewed on a bun and asked, "Why are they sitting so far away?"
"Probably because they dislike you, heh heh…" Lin Yujing believed she had successfully set a trap for Li Zheng and buried her head to scoff food while suppressing her laughter.
"How could that be," Li Zheng shook his head, "probably because technical people are generally introverted... Now that I think about it, I’m quite introverted too, it takes so ti to warm up to others."
"Right right, scumbags always say that about themselves," Lin Yujing, after a few bites, asked, "Shouldn’t your personality crave more work once you’ve finished the tasks at hand?"
"Is this being masochistic…"
"Isn’t that how you always study!"
"Is this the sa as studying?" Li Zheng shook his head and sighed, "I think I understand the process now, it’s just following the team’s standards, checking a large amount of experintal data, tedious, boring, chanical, a waste of life. Plus, the software here for data analysis isn’t very user-friendly, I have thought about coding one myself..."
"Ha." Lin Yujing took a sip of soup and said, "The mont I heard the word ’test’, I knew it wasn’t going to be fun."
"I think the data screening standard set by humans is flawed..." Li Zheng also sipped his soup and pondered, "If a set of data templates can identify the issue, then it should have been discovered much earlier, not just exposed at launch. To find sothing that wasn’t discovered before, a new approach is needed."
"Yeah, my mom says the sa," Lin Yujing whispered leaning forward, "but Director Chen insists on doing it this way..."
"Hmm... Director Chen is so high up, he must have his reasons." Li Zheng pondered for a while but couldn’t figure it out, smacking his lips and said, "Anyway, I just need to complete the assigned volu of work, just consider it like doing so particularly boring howork at school, and use the extra ti to learn more, hoping to move to the technical group sooner."
"Scum Chap, you just figured that out?" Lin Yujing snorted with laughter, "I had that figured out from the start, so I just do docunt organizing work, and spend the extra ti looking at rocket diagrams in the system."
"Why do I feel like you just want to be lazy..."
"If I wanted to slack off, I’d play Minesweeper."
"No, playing Minesweeper is a math thinking exercise." Li Zheng said, also leaning forward, "But anyway, since we’re sorting out these test data, I have a rough idea."
"I don’t want to hear it."
"Just hear out..." Li Zheng rubbed his hands and said, "Have you heard of the LSSVM algorithm?"
"???"
"It’s a type of mathematical algorithm, often used in AI neural network learning. I just read two papers in English this morning within the system and found that this algorithm can also be used for fault detection. Specifically for Yellow 2, if this algorithm is combined with the PSO particle swarm optimization algorithm, just mixing them a little bit might yield sothing."
"Uh..." Lin Yujing stared daggers, "That’s why... I hate studying with you..."
"Listen to , I understand these two algorithms’ concepts, logic, and applications," Li Zheng said earnestly, "But when it cos down to the algorithm itself... I can’t learn it..."
"?!" Lin Yujing exclaid in surprise, "You have your days too!"
"No helping it, this content is too specialized, the calculation process in the materials is ant for math PhDs, it’s overly concise, just like if I were to explain a math problem to Liu Xin, just a quick brush up..." Li Zheng fluttered his large eyes blinking, "How about... you take a look at the algorithm part... I’ll handle the architecture and programming, and we create a small app to process these test data, just mix them up a bit?"
"This kind of work..." Lin Yujing squinted, "should be done by the math lab, right?"
"Who cares." Li Zheng smiled and knocked on the table, "We’re already in the rocket lab."
"Then..." Lin Yujing swallowed and asked, "Repeat that, what’s the algorithm called again, L-sothing-SM?"
"Not SM, it’s VM! LSSVM!"
