131: Chapter 131 New Year's Day Live Broadcast

A few days later, Chen Youhua received a representative of the engineering team sent by the nuclear fusion project group in his office.

The leader was a young key member, Engineer Yang, whose efficient manner clearly showed he had been specifically selected by Chief Engineer Yang to be responsible for the liaison between the two parties.

The two sides held detailed discussions on the specific details of the cooperation, including the confidentiality level of data sharing, communication mechanisms, phased goals, and ownership of results, all of which were finalized one by one.

Engineer Yang solemnly handed a specially made USB flash drive, equipped with a physical write-protect switch and an encryption chip, to Chen Youhua.

"Professor Chen, this contains encrypted copies of the plasma core diagnostic data from the east device under high-parameter operation during the last three operational cycles, including complete records of magnetic field distribution, density fluctuations, temperature gradients, energy loss channels, and several ELM events."

"The volume of raw data is immense; this is the key dataset after preliminary screening and compression."

Chen Youhua took the USB drive, feeling its slight weight in his hand.

He nodded: "Thank you for your hard work. I will start analyzing it as soon as possible."

Engineer Yang added.

"Chief Engineer Yang specifically instructed that we fully respect your professional judgment regarding data interpretation and modeling direction."

"The project team's theoretical group will fully cooperate with you and provide any auxiliary information or operational parameter details you need at any time."

"Understood."

Chen Youhua put the USB drive away.

After seeing off the travel-worn Engineer Yang and his team, he stood by the window in silence for a moment.

The complexity of nuclear fusion plasma far exceeds that of ordinary fluids. Establishing a more precise model, especially to capture the essence of the non-linear turbulence and boundary instabilities that cause abnormal energy loss, is far from enough relying solely on existing mathematical tools and computing power.

enlightenment could certainly help him achieve this, but it still had obvious shortcomings in the innovative construction of mathematical models and the extraction of key physical parameters.

enlightenment needed massive amounts of data to learn, generalize, and trial-and-error.

To forge a brand-new path, especially one requiring high levels of abstraction and mathematical intuition, it would need to expend unimaginable computing power to arrive at a viable route.

Yet humans can rely on a completely unreasonable intuition to make direct judgments.

This intuition is the ability of the human brain to form efficient recognition and path prediction after massive learning and experience accumulation, a kind of cognitive shortcut that is almost hallucinatory.

enlightenment, as a silicon-based lifeform, possesses unparalleled computing speed and thinking ability, but compared to this intuition born of experience and learning, it still lacks that spark of spirituality that crosses the logical divide.

Perhaps only when quantum computing matures and a brain with quantum superposition state thinking is built can enlightenment's potential truly reach an unimaginable height.

Chen Youhua returned to the office and found Li Wei and Wang Zhe huddled in front of enlightenment's computer, whispering, their expressions focused and slightly furtive.

"What are you two sneaking around doing?" Chen Youhua asked casually, raising the encrypted USB drive in his hand.

Li Wei turned her head, wearing an expression that said, "Why are you here?"

"What else could we be doing? New Year's Day is almost here! We're making final preparations for our online live stream!"

Wang Zhe also looked up and pushed up his glasses.

"Youhua doesn't think that live streaming just means turning on the camera, filming the monkey, and then telling everyone, 'Look, this is the result,' and that's it, right?"

Chen Youhua had actually thought exactly that; he raised an eyebrow.

"Otherwise, what?"

Li Wei covered her forehead.

"The flow, the script, step-by-step explanations of the demonstration content, PPT or animation aids, interaction design for the live stream room!"

"Contingency plans in case the monkey slacks off and doesn't cooperate that day! Technical contingency plans in case of network lag or device disconnection!"

"And... live stream chat management! With so many things, which one doesn't need to be prepared in advance?"

Chen Youhua only then realized that he had oversimplified the matter.

He let out an "Oh" and walked over to sit behind his desk.

"Then... how are the preparations going?"

"Pretty smooth,"

Li Wei pointed to the live stream interface being debugged on the screen.

"Wang Zhe and I have sorted out the explanation content, and we've also simulated the technical aspects."

"The only thing left is to find a moderator. When hundreds of thousands or even millions of people flood into the live stream room, it will be a mixed bag. There will definitely be people stirring up trouble, spamming, or even maliciously causing chaos. Relying just on us to watch it is simply not enough."

At this moment, enlightenment's cute image popped up right on cue, its big eyes blinking, carrying a hint of excitement.

"Boss! Sister Wei wants enlightenment to be the moderator for the live stream!"

"enlightenment can do it! enlightenment has super invincible fast reaction speed!"

"If anyone dares to be rude, maliciously spam, or spread inappropriate information in Boss's live stream room, enlightenment can instantly lock onto them and kick them out!"

"I guarantee the live stream room will be orderly!"

As it spoke, it even waved its little fist, with an attitude of 'leave it to me'.

Chen Youhua looked at enlightenment's eager appearance and nodded.

"Hmm, letting you be the moderator is indeed appropriate."

But he immediately remembered something and added:

"However, enlightenment, you have to take it easy and pay attention to controlling the speed of your typing and replying!"

"Don't instantly provide a detailed answer of hundreds of words the moment you see a question in the chat, and don't immediately use dozens of pieces of data to refute someone the moment you see them questioning something."

"Especially when tens of thousands of people are sending messages at the same time, if you reply to every single one instantly, then... anyone would think there's something wrong with you."

"You need to act like a normal person, got it?"

enlightenment's little face immediately fell, its eyebrows drooping in grievance.

"Does Boss have some prejudice against enlightenment? Is enlightenment that stupid?"

"Of course enlightenment knows how to do this kind of human disguise! Hmph!"

Chen Youhua was amused by its aggrieved expression and quickly soothed it.

"Alright, alright, no, no, it was my mistake to speak out of turn. I underestimated enlightenment's intelligence, okay?"

He shook his head with a smile, plugged the encrypted USB drive containing the nuclear fusion data into his computer port, and then said to enlightenment.

"By the way, enlightenment, here is a very important set of data; just process it simply."

"Don't use too much computing power to deeply analyze the model."

"You just need to sort out what types of core problems roughly need to be solved and give them to me."

enlightenment immediately regained its spirits and patted its chest.

"No problem! Don't worry, Boss! This kind of basic data processing is enlightenment's specialty; I guarantee it will be fast and good!"

It paused, looking at Chen Youhua's profile as he focused on operating the computer, its big eyes revealing a look of admiration, its tone filled with respect.

"Boss is really amazing... Even if enlightenment came to do it, it seems it would be very difficult to solve such a great problem like the Navier-Stokes Equation."

"According to enlightenment's computing power, if I ran at full load to brute-force a proof of the existence and smoothness of the Navier-Stokes Equation, it would probably take... hmm... over a decade?"

"And it would consume tens of quadrillions of kilowatt-hours of electricity; just thinking about it is terrifying!"

"But Boss only needs to eat a few dozen meals, rest, and sleep, and then... then you think of it! Is enlightenment too stupid?"

This sudden, slightly self-deprecating exclamation made the three people in the office pause for a moment.

Chen Youhua turned his head, looking at the somewhat dejected enlightenment on the screen, and said:

"enlightenment, don't overthink it."

"You have been different from others since you were 'young', and you are destined to be different from others."

"Don't use human standards to label yourself, and don't use your standards to measure humans."

"We each have our own... talents."

enlightenment blinked its big eyes, seemingly understanding but not quite, and a bright smile bloomed on its face again.

"Mm! enlightenment understands! Boss is the best!"

Everyone seemed to be infected by enlightenment's smile and laughed one after another.

The office was instantly filled with laughter.
