Chapter 40: Chapter 40: The True Way to Unlock the Posture Balance Algorithm

In just under two hours in the morning, the dozens of pages of various issues Mo Jingchun had were all explained one by one by Academician Chen Xihuo.

For Mo Jingchun, without guidance, these were difficult problems, but for Chen Xihuo, who had designed countless precision devices for the country, it was as simple and fun as teaching elementary math to a university student.

After more than two hours, the elderly man was a bit tired. Chen Xihuo thought to himself, “Unlike when I was young, staying up late was as common as a daily routine, and when faced with many problems, the quieter the late night was, the easier it was to come up with solutions.”

Meanwhile, what Mo Jingchun didn’t know was that all personal files belonging to him and his sister, Candy, were once again placed on a large red desk in a windowless room.

On the large red desk, besides the two file boxes, there were also three conspicuous wired vintage telephones.

If one were to look closely at one of the phones, they would find it didn’t even have the most basic dial keys.

Having just taken off his reading glasses and ready to put them back into the case, Chen Xihuo suddenly remembered something and put the glasses back on.

“Hasn’t your software been completed? Go get the computer, and I’ll help you check if there are any issues.”

Mo Jingchun asked in surprise, “Teacher, aren’t you into mechanical research? Do you also understand software and algorithms?”

With a light laugh, Chen Xihuo replied, in this era, most machinery involves software and algorithms. Although his main research area was mechanical, with years of exposure and accumulation, Chen Xihuo believed he was not much worse than those professors.

“Go get it now. While there’s a chance, I’ll help you solve any problems you encounter. When your intelligent anti-shake spoon comes out, remember to send a few to the teacher.”

Mo Jingchun awkwardly smiled, thinking, “How can I casually give away something like this? It’s like wishing bad health on someone.”

“Teacher, you definitely won’t need it.”

Chen Xihuo was momentarily stunned and then laughed heartily, “What are you thinking, little one? I meant if your intelligent anti-shake spoon works well, I’m preparing to give it as a gift.”

Oh, so that’s what he meant, Mo Jingchun suddenly realized.

Mo Jingchun swiftly ran back to the room, picked up the laptop from the table, and headed to the living room. Only then did he notice the instructor in the kitchen, holding Candy in one hand and stirring something in the pot with the other.

Mo Jingchun merely glanced hurriedly and left again.

In fact, it was already past eleven, and a slightly hungry Li Na, seeing that Mo Jingchun and Academician Chen Xihuo were still deep in conversation, started boiling water to cook noodles.

Indeed, just after Mo Jingchun stepped out, Li Na added a large portion of fine noodles into the boiling pot.

In the living room, Mo Jingchun opened the simulator and ran the encrypted and encapsulated posture balance algorithm.

“Teacher, look, all problems are solved now. Once I purchase the parts and assemble an intelligent anti-shake spoon, we’ll know exactly how it performs. Theoretically, it will be better than all the intelligent anti-shake spoons on the market.”

When pondering problems, Chen Xihuo was not one to speak much. Observing the results of the algorithm on the simulator, he became more pensive, his brows knitted tightly.

If it weren’t the same simulator used in the research institute, Chen Xihuo would have doubted whether there was a problem with the simulator.

The thought that a student’s algorithm for an intelligent anti-shake spoon might be more effective than the most advanced anti-shake algorithms at the institute seemed unbelievable to Chen Xihuo.

Without saying a word, Chen Xihuo returned to his bedroom to get his specialized computer and then came back to the living room.

“Xiaochun, can I copy your encapsulated algorithm and try running it on another project?”

“Huh? Of course you can.” Mo Jingchun hesitated for a moment but agreed.

The software was programmed using the advanced encryption embedded within an AI intelligent butler, and with brute force decryption, even a single layer of encryption, given the maximum computing power of the world’s supercomputers operating non-stop, would theoretically be impossible to breach in less than five years.

Always cautious, fearing what-ifs, Mo Jingchun went absurdly overboard by adding 100 layers of encryption, like a Luban lock, interlocking each component, which resulted in the encapsulated program occupying an astonishing 103 megabytes of memory.

The actual posture balance algorithm’s memory usage is less than 1 megabyte, just over 700 kb.

On the sofa, Chen Xihuo observed the simulated results on the computer, and he couldn’t regain his composure, his mind flooded with questions.

Why is this happening?

This shouldn’t be possible. In fact, it shouldn’t even yield such results. Yet, here it is, undeniable fact before his eyes.

A posture balance algorithm intended for an intelligent anti-shake spoon turned out to be more stable and efficient than the balance algorithms designed specifically for fighter jets. It wasn’t just unbelievable; words couldn’t describe it.

Calling it an algorithm is inadequate because this algorithm can intelligently make judgments based on current conditions.

Although it hasn’t reached the level of artificial intelligence, it is a highly comprehensive and impressively applicable algorithm.

Similar to existing desktop systems, it allows other software programs to run on its platform.

To verify his hypothesis, Chen Xihuo attempted to test several other projects.

The results were astonishing; over 50% of the projects could directly replace their original balance algorithms with Mo Jingchun’s posture balance algorithm.

Taking a deep breath, Chen Xihuo stared intently at Mo Jingchun.

“Xiaochun, is this algorithm designed by you alone?”

“Yes, teacher, you are the second person to see this algorithm.”

After a moment of silence, Chen Xihuo spoke, “It’s unbelievable. If I’m correct, your algorithm wasn’t originally designed specifically for your intelligent anti-shake spoon, was it?”

What surprised Chen Xihuo was that Mo Jingchun admitted it directly.

“Yes, teacher, it wasn’t initially designed for an intelligent anti-shake spoon.”

This couldn’t be concealed. Lies would eventually be exposed, and it would take countless lies to cover the first one.

As lies increase, so do the loopholes, and eventually, even if no one uncovers them, they fall apart on their own.

Rather than that, it’s better to be upfront.

Mo Jingchun chuckled, “Teacher, you might not believe it, but I’m really into the cool flying mecha in movies. This posture balance algorithm was specifically designed for real-time posture correction during mecha movement.”

“Actually, I’ve tried using this posture balance algorithm to test selfie sticks and many anti-shake lenses, and the results were good.”

“Then why don’t you start with those products?” As soon as Chen Xihuo asked, he realized the reason.

“Teacher, I’m just an ordinary student; I can’t compete with them.”
