Chapter 44: The Shock of the Military Big Shot

While Hao Zude was arranging the fighter jet tests, Director Lu Pu walked over, patted him on the shoulder, and asked curiously:

"What's wrong? I just started my shift and heard people saying you've been busy all night without sleeping, and you've been here testing the Fire Control System since early this morning? Has there been some major breakthrough in some area?"

Hao Zude leaned into his ear and whispered: "Didn't I go find Su Xin the day before yesterday? He agreed to develop the calculation program, and then yesterday morning, he told me he had already finished developing it."

"What?!"

Lu Pu widened his eyes, then shook his head: "You believe this kind of thing? As the Technology Group Director of the General Armament Department, if I didn't even have this bit of common sense and discernment, it would be a disgrace to our entire group if word got out."

"It's not that I look down on Su Xin; even if he spent a year developing a new calculation program, I would be willing to call him Teacher Su. But for him to brag that it only took him one day, that's just too absurd."

Hao Zude gave a wry smile:

"I can't believe it either, but I'm willing to believe in miracles. Besides, since he was able to develop the Tiantian Assistant all by himself, and according to intelligence, he really didn't spend much time on it."

"So, could it be possible that spending one day to develop the Fire Control Calculation Program is actually true?"

Lu Pu couldn't help but fall silent.

In fact, he had also read Su Xin's detailed intelligence and knew how exaggerated Su Xin's background was.

The reason they waited until the Tiantian Assistant had been popular for so long before looking for Su Xin was precisely because the intelligence, while simple, was too unbelievable.

So much so that they felt Su Xin's identity might be problematic, or that there was another organization behind him.

But no matter how they investigated or visited, there was not the slightest issue with Su Xin's identity; he was indeed a native of Baohe City, and his upbringing was real and verifiable.

Furthermore, no matter how their people monitored or surveilled him, they found no traces of Su Xin having contact with any other organization.

Thus, they had to admit that the Tiantian Assistant might truly have been developed by Su Xin alone, and that he had taught himself programming and completed the development quickly in such a short time; the other party indeed possessed such powerful technical skills.

Therefore, their request for Su Xin to help develop the Fire Control Calculation Program this time was both a request and a test.

If Su Xin himself truly possessed such a powerful technical level and could independently develop the Tiantian Assistant, then developing a Fire Control Calculation Program should be a piece of cake.

It was just that, for all their calculations, they never expected that Su Xin could complete the development of the calculation program within a single day.

Just as the two stood there speechless.

The technician in charge of testing over there let out an exclamation: "My God!"

Hao Zude and Lu Pu hurried over with a light jog.

They saw the technician's face flushed with excitement, shouting uncontrollably:

"This is too awesome!"

"Director Hao, this program is too awesome! Which big shot developed this new calculation program?"

"The calculation time has been shortened by eighty percent! The accuracy has increased by thirty percent! This is absolutely a revolutionary new calculation program!"

"Director! Is this our new achievement?"

Hearing footsteps behind him, the technician exclaimed while turning his head, seeing the two directors with blank expressions on their faces.

At this moment, the two directors only felt a buzzing in their minds, the two numbers mentioned by the technician echoing constantly, their thoughts briefly stalled.

Eighty percent.

Thirty percent.

Such an improvement, when applied to top-tier military equipment, is absolutely a revolutionary upgrade!

After a long while.

The two finally came to their senses under the technician's repeated calls, subconsciously looking at each other, both seeing a sense of shock in the other's eyes.

Su Xin not only really completed the development of the new program within a day, but compared to the original program, it actually had such an exaggerated improvement.

You have to know.

The current top-tier Fire Control Calculation Program, which countless top technicians from the Military General Armament Department spent years researching together, only shortened the calculation time by fifteen percent and improved accuracy by only about eight percent compared to the old program.

And this was already a quite significant improvement and the limit they could currently reach.

Yet, the development result Su Xin produced in just one day was actually several times better than the research results of so many of them!

Although the data only showed a difference of a few tens of percent, they had to admit that the utility between the two programs differed by at least several times!

The two directors ordered the technician to continue testing, while they watched carefully from the side.

They tested for a full hour.

In the end, the two completely confirmed the stability and superior performance of the program.

Lu Pu looked at the technician with a serious face and exhorted: "Although you know the confidentiality regulations, this matter is of great importance. I must reiterate: regarding this program and this test, you must not disclose it to anyone other than the three of us. Otherwise, you should know the consequences."

The technician had also long since recovered from the shock and ecstasy, nodding solemnly:

"Director, please rest assured, I understand!"

Subsequently, Lu Pu and Hao Zude took the source files of the program and left, finding a certain Air Force commander to negotiate installing the program onto fighter jets and beginning step-by-step field tests.

After spending a day going through a series of increasingly in-depth field tests and verifications, it finally even alarmed the true big shots of the Military.

Upon learning that such a powerful new calculation program was the work of Su Xin alone, and that Su Xin had developed it in just one day, the Military big shot could not help but be shocked and dumbfounded.

Finally, the Military big shot gave important instructions:

"For top-tier talent like Su Xin, we must provide appropriate special care. We must never let the young comrade feel that our Military is using power to pressure others. Instead, we must use sincerity to enhance friendship and use good faith to promote cooperation; only then can we build an increasingly long-term and friendly cooperative relationship."

With the word from the Military big shot, the several high-ranking military officials, who were already convinced by Su Xin's software programming strength, could not help but elevate Su Xin's status in their hearts, truly treating him as the nation's top talent.

Amidst the excitement.

After returning to the General Armament Department, Lu Pu and Hao Zude hurriedly gathered the top technical researchers of the Technology Group to hold a special symposium on the theme of the significance and practicality of Artificial Intelligence in military equipment.

Out of confidentiality concerns, they did not mention the cooperation with Su Xin, but instead discussed the future of Artificial Intelligence and what specific applications it could have in military equipment by looking toward the future.

Once they reached a conclusion, they could then ask Su Xin to help further develop more and better programs based on these prospects.

After all, in the eyes of the two, Su Xin's technical level was at least several years ahead of everyone else; for them, it was looking toward the future, but for Su Xin, it was truly an opportunity to realize it.

Of course, with the word from the Military big shot and Su Xin's excellent achievement in developing the new Fire Control Calculation Program, their subsequent cooperation would certainly be a formal partnership that guaranteed a win-win situation.
