"Director Tang, happy new year! It's so cold, why are you so embarrassed to welcome me?" Duke came to the hotel of the University of Science and Technology upon appointment and found that Director Tang had been waiting at the door. He apologized with a little embarrassedly. ╰: ╰Piao Tianyi.com ╰ You must know that more than a year ago, professors of Director Tang and students like Duke had to look up to them, and even decide whether they could graduate.

"Happy New Year Dr. Du! A little thing, it should be, President Liu has arrived at the VIP room on the third floor. Please," Director Tang from the University of Science and Technology Artificial Intelligence Laboratory said with a smile on his face. It seems that the transformation of roles between the two sides is much faster than Duke, and now he can naturally regard Duke as a successful person.

From this point of view, Director Tang has great potential to be in politics.

"Happy New Year, Principal Liu! I wish you a happy New Year!" Looking at Principal Liu, who was full of gray heads, stood up to greet him, Duke quickly walked two steps and delivered the gifts in his hand. For the New Year, Duke was really embarrassed to come to see this respected old man empty-handed. So he bought some Cordyceps and American ginseng with him. This thing is useful but not vulgar, which is consistent with Duke's current identity.

"Happy New Year, Duke, the big New Year, the old man is still trying to trouble you, why are you still embarrassed to accept your gift?" Principal Liu said with a hearty smile.

"You are always a respected elder. You should have come to greet you early, but you are plagued by mundane things and can't get away for a while. It's very rude." Duke said politely and respectfully. His emotional intelligence has improved greatly after more than a year of strengthening training with people of all kinds.

Not to mention that Principal Liu himself is an elder who he respects more in his heart, it is normal for him to say a few good words when facing ordinary people.

"Haha, the old man is so shameless to accept the gift," Principal Liu did not talk much, but turned to the topic directly. "I invite you here today, mainly because there are two things I want to discuss with you. Both of these things involve some secrets, but I believe you can keep the secret."

"The first thing is your old business. The lunar rover project is very successful, especially in the identification and movement of complex terrain. After identification by relevant departments, it has reached the international leading level. The project team has applied for this year's National Science and Technology Award. As one of the main software designers of this system, you have made an indelible contribution."

"Because the lunar rover is performing well, our military intends to develop a multi-function robot based on this basis, and plans to apply it in some complex and dangerous scenarios. The intelligent control system is led by me, the old man. To be honest, after seeing your performance in the MIT Robot Competition and the source code of the intelligent pathfinding system, it is really awesome. You can't accept old age."

"So although I am the old man, I want you to take on the main technical person. Of course, Xiao Tang will assist you in some specific administrative and coordination work. You are mainly responsible for grasping the technical direction and key technological breakthroughs."

When Duke heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. This is another chore. Judging from Principal Liu's meaning, this matter is not over yet, and I don't know what the second thing will be.

"This second thing is also a project, the intelligent collision avoidance system of high-speed machine animals. I want to invite you to participate, mainly responsible for some key technological breakthroughs. Of course, after the results are released, you will not be in vain. The development rights of the simplified civil version belong to you. How about it? Are there any problems?" Principal Liu finished speaking, looking at Duke with great anticipation.

To be honest, Duke really doesn't want to agree. It involves much energy. The key is that Duke cannot carry out this kind of project remotely. Although Principal Liu has not said it now, Duke knows that the confidentiality of these two projects is extraordinary and will never allow the R&D environment to be physically connected with the Internet.

Therefore, even if Duke can solve technical problems by himself, he will have to fly back to China for delivery. Not to mention that he has to check whether other subsystems are suitable. These two things really affect his plan too much.

Once you agree, you may have to travel between China and the United States once a month. Not only is this tiring, but a lot of time has been delayed on the plane.

"Principal Liu, this matter is too important. I think I can't take it." Duke had to temporarily ignore the infinite expectations in Principal Liu's eyes and refused to say with a tough bullet.

"Technically, you have absolutely no problem," when Duke said this, Principal Liu's eyes flashed with a hint of uncontrollable disappointment, but he still wanted to work harder to see if he could convince Duke. "I have read the code you wrote, and I can responsibly say that no one can reach your level in the field of artificial intelligence in China today, at least I, an old man, cannot."

"Even if it is internationally, judging from the performance of several top international artificial intelligence projects I know, your level is also top-notch. So if you don't have this project, no one can do it." These words are almost unrefutable from the authoritative words of Principal Liu, a domestic artificial intelligence field in the field of artificial intelligence.

"But there are too many things I have about. I have two companies, several large-scale product projects, and I have to study at MIT, so I can't get rid of it." Looking at Principal Liu's bright eyes looking at him, Duke had to tell the truth.

"Dr. Duke, I really don't understand why you have obtained a PhD from MIT and still have to stay in the United States to study?" Director Tang, who was on the side, couldn't help but say, "If you want to study science, then why have you developed so many influential products, established SAL and Mi, and have achieved such great achievements in the business world."

It seems that Director Tang is very familiar with Duke's situation. I don't know how much effort he has spent in it, especially because he passed his doctoral defense, but the result has not been announced at school. Director Tang knew it. It can be seen that Director Tang at MIT also has some connections.

I really can't explain this to you. After hearing these questions from Director Tang, Duke couldn't think of how to answer for a while.

Fortunately, Director Tang’s purpose is not to say this. “I heard that you are planning to launch a new display project now, and there are some obstacles in the city?” Director Tang changed his mind and began to talk about another completely irrelevant thing.

Duke couldn't figure out the idea of ​​this professor who had great political talent, so he had to passively answer: "Yes, we can't continue to apply for the project to be approved by Mayor Huang." Many people know about this, and Duke had nothing to hide, so he directly told the joints.
