Time flashed, and it was the end of August.
As the 42 top talents arrived one after another, the development of the simulation system began.
Li Yi personally presided over the development. In the 200-square-meter office area, there were three LCD screens at one desk. As far as the eye could see, the screens were filled with complicated codes.
In order to obtain the solution hint of the new algorithm, the tens of thousands of challengers who participated in the challenge system acted as free labor to write the function program he designed for Li Yi. Gradually, thousands of subroutines gathered into a huge library.
These huge amounts of subroutines could be used to form the various modules of the simulation system. Now, he needed to spend time and energy to "assemble" them.
This was a very complicated and brain-consuming job.
Fortunately, Li Yi had constructed a detailed implementation plan for the entire system. He only needed to teach them these plans and guide them to complete the "selection" and "assembly" of these subroutines.
42 senior IT engineers were divided into six development teams by Li Yi, each in charge of the 'assembly' of a certain subsystem.
Li Yi became a professional lecturer.
In the small conference room, on the podium, one could often see Li Yi standing in front of the blackboard, writing and drawing, explaining the system functions, algorithmic logic, code structure…
"This subsystem is embedded in the 'time dispersion'… We need to realize the evolution of the discrete time point and give the discrete event more possibilities in the entire simulation system…"
"Here, we need to achieve a global clock that can be referenced. The coordination and synchronization mechanism between LPs is very important. The system operation must obey the local causal law, which is that every LP handles events in a non-decreasing time order. When a LP receives a time stamp smaller than a LVT…"
"Your team needs to complete the core engine assembly and flexible deduction recombination…"
…
The 42 engineers who had joined the development of the simulation system were like students in class, studying earnestly.
Li Yi took turns giving the six project teams lectures. Li Yi "dismantled" the entire simulation system and "made it easier to digest" it before slowly feeding it to them.
The 42 engineers didn't disappoint. They studied very hard. This was a rare opportunity. Only by joining this project could they have a chance to come into contact with this advanced development concept.
In the challenge system, there were tens of thousands of programmers challenging to learn those new algorithms. They even sold their free labor to obtain some hints of new algorithms.
Here, they obtained the algorithm's inventors' teachings directly. He even taught them step by step, and even had existing projects for them to carry out experiments. They also had relatively high benefits. They were like rats that had fallen into a rice vat. Everyone was on steroids and devoted themselves to it.
Li Yi was also enjoying himself. With the cooperation of a group of like-minded people, the development of the simulation system was carried out successfully.

At the end of August, near the start of September, the school had begun making preparations for the next school year.
Middle University, Computer Department.
After the teachers finished their mobilization meeting, they dispersed in twos and threes and chatted about the interesting findings and gains during the summer break.
Just as the meeting ended and before everyone left, the dean of the academy, Yuan Xuefeng, suddenly received a special application.
Yuan Xuefeng looked at Chen Xiujun in surprise and asked in confusion, "Professor Chen, what project are you researching? Why are you in such a hurry to use the Heavenly River (Heavenly River Supercomputer)?"
"Yes! I've designed a new navigation model system that requires a large amount of computing power for efficiency testing." Chen Xiujun looked at Yuan Xuefeng excitedly and introduced.
"Oh! Innovations in the navigation system?" Yuan Xuefeng frowned at Chen Xiujun and asked in surprise.
Obviously, Yuan Xuefeng didn't think highly of the other party's innovation in the navigation field.
There were only four navigation systems in the world. They were controlled by several large countries and involved military and people's livelihoods. They were the lifeblood of a country.
There were many types of terminal products for satellite navigation. They could be divided into professional and popular fields. Professional fields included high-precision measurement, GIS data collection, vehicle scheduling terminal, and so on. The public consumption field mainly had portable automatic navigation systems (PND), cell phones, car navigation equipment, and so on.
After so many years of development, the navigation system had already developed to a very mature stage. Without innovative major breakthroughs, it was very difficult for ordinary people to achieve results in this field.
Chen Xiujun didn't mind Yuan Xuefeng's attitude. Instead, he nodded proudly and introduced, "Yes, I recently discovered a very interesting clearing website. I learned a relatively advanced algorithm from it and used the efficiency of this special algorithm to increase the navigation accuracy."
"Increase navigation accuracy? You used software to increase the accuracy?" Yuan Xuefeng asked in surprise.
"There should be two aspects to navigation accuracy. The first is accurate positioning, and the second is the detailed accuracy of the map. However, no matter how high the accuracy is, there will be errors. However, the adjustment of the accuracy can be used as a positioning gain with algorithmic compensation," Chen Xiujun added.
Yuan Xuefeng couldn't help but nod. He looked at Chen Xiujun and waited for him to continue.
"I've learned that this algorithm is very powerful. The use of a parallel calculation method in the multi-arithmetic method to achieve the same efficiency ratio of high precision standards… It's predetermined to be a generalized bell-shaped subordinate function, an S-type subordinate function…" Chen Xiujun explained the development idea of this new algorithm non-stop.
Upon hearing that, many professors who had yet to leave the conference room stopped writing and listened to Chen Xiujun explain this new algorithm.
"Is there a paper for this algorithm? Is it just published by SCI?"
"Old Chen! What you saw in this algorithm seems to be a unique research direction."
"This algorithm concept is novel and unique. It's very feasible. I need more detailed information."
"Alright! Old Chen, why hadn't you shared such a good thing with us earlier?"
…
After listening for a while, the professors present walked towards Chen Xiujun. They spoke one after another and reached out to Chen Xiujun to ask for this algorithm information.
Seeing that everyone was excited as if they had poked a hornet's nest, Chen Xiujun was shocked and hurriedly explained, "This algorithm wasn't seen in the SCI. I'll give you the link to a website. You can find it yourself. There are still many calculations inside, you can study it however you want."
With that said, Chen Xiujun took out his cell phone and sent the connection to the challenge clearing website to their usual chat group.
"This is a very interesting challenge website. The questions for the challenge are all kinds of algorithm questions. The first few levels seem to be designed to stop newbies from using them. After the tenth level, every question has questions related to various new algorithms. If you can't solve these questions, you can click on the hint generation and operate step by step to obtain the contents of those algorithms." Chen Xiujun had a strange smile as he introduced them to everyone.
"It's that simple?"
"That multi-calculation method was obtained from here?"
"How interesting! I'll give it a try."
…
After hearing Chen Xiujun's introduction, the professors opened the link and gave it a go.
