I Play Dungeons in the Police Station

Chapter 451 - 270: Sparring in the Ring

"Director Li, you might not know this, but for programmers, when writing code, some of it can be abbreviated lazily. However, artificial intelligence doesn’t take shortcuts; it follows the standards word for word, very neatly, just like this software. That’s why I suspect that Li Xiang used artificial intelligence to optimize this software."

Li Zhongqing somewhat understood, but still didn’t believe that Li Xiang had his own artificial intelligence program, so he asked, "Is there any possibility that he borrowed an artificial intelligence program developed by another company? Like Chat GPT, which everyone can use?"

"It’s unlikely. First, I haven’t heard of any company developing a level of artificial intelligence system that can optimize such high-level software. Currently, most companies’ artificial intelligence programs can at most write a small program or a mini-game. For professional software like facial recognition systems, they can’t do it. Even if some company has developed such a powerful artificial intelligence, it would have already become famous worldwide, quickly acquired financing, expanded its territory, and captured market share, rather than secretly allowing Li Xiang to use it."

Sun Zheng analyzed carefully, and finally concluded that there is an 80% chance that Li Xiang possesses a world-leading artificial intelligence program.

"All these big companies couldn’t develop an artificial intelligence system, but Li Xiang did it alone?"

"Only this explanation makes sense. Sometimes we must believe that the difference between a genius and an average person is as vast as the sky and earth, and I am just an average person."

"Professor Sun, you’re not an average person."

"In front of Li Xiang, I am just an average person."

Sun Zheng pondered: Could anyone really stay proud in front of Li Xiang?

"Let’s not talk about him, now that his software is genuine, I’m relieved. I’ll head off now, I have a lot to deal with over there." Li Zhongqing got the result he wanted, and with matters in mind, he prepared to leave.

"Wait, Director Li."

"Professor Sun, is there anything else?"

Sun Zheng asked somewhat awkwardly, "There’s one more thing I want to consult you on. Since Li Xiang has already completed his facial recognition system, is there still any point in us continuing with ours?"

Even if we proceed, he had no confidence it would be better than Li Xiang’s.

Li Zhongqing pondered for a moment, making Sun Zheng extremely anxious.

This project, after all, is a provincial-level research project with a research fund of several million. His performance as the project leader is crucial for his evaluation.

"Suspend the project for now, there’s no point in continuing."

As expected.

Sun Zheng sighed in his heart, knowing this was the inevitable outcome, yet still felt a bit disappointed.

But he still agreed verbally: "No problem, I follow the leader’s arrangements."

-----------------

At this moment, Li Xiang still didn’t know that because of a facial recognition system he optimized on a whim, an entire research institute had paused all its projects.

Nor did he know that the artificial intelligence he was so proud of had already been noticed by people with intentions.

Not everyone in this world is a fool. After eliminating all other possibilities, even the most unlikely possibility becomes possible.

Li Xiang put his phone back in his pocket. He had just transferred another sum of money to the renovation company, and the progress at home was already quite fast. He estimated that the next time he goes home, it should be completely finished.

The stock market was still in that half-dead state but didn’t affect his ability to make money at all. In fact, his speed of making money had increased every month.

After the headless body case was closed, the task force members relatively relaxed and stopped working overtime at night.

When it was time to get off work, everyone engaged in activities according to their interests and hobbies, some jogging, some playing badminton, some boxing.

The bureau had corresponding fitness facilities for everyone to exercise.

When Li Xiang passed by the gym, he heard some banging noises from inside and curiously walked in.

"Cough cough, Brother He, your legs are really strong, hitting my chest so hard I feel stuffy."

It was an indoor ring. When Li Xiang entered, he saw Sun Zhidong fully geared up, being pummeled, each kick landing on the protective gear with a loud thud.

Sun Zhidong got kicked to the ground, saw Li Xiang enter, hurriedly got up, and said, "Xiang, help me get revenge, I can’t take it anymore."

"You deserve it, going up against a Taekwondo champion, what else did you expect?"

"Brother He said he would teach me Taekwondo, tricked me into becoming a sparring partner."

Sun Zhidong had a wry smile on his face, he truly wanted to learn some skills for self-defense.

In fact, he always had a shadow in his heart from when he went to Jinling City with Li Xiang to solve the mannequin case, where he got knocked out by the culprit and fell on his own vomit. Since then, he wanted to practice martial arts one day, not to be as powerful as Li Xiang, but at least to handle ordinary people.

He hadn’t had the opportunity before, but when he saw He Wenqiu practicing boxing, he was inspired to learn.

And He Wenqiu just happened to need a punching bag, so he was more than happy when Sun Zhidong volunteered.

With the phrase "You must learn to take a hit before you can learn to hit" as a lure, Sun Zhidong willingly became a sparring partner.

"Xiao Dong, one cannot be impatient when learning martial arts. Patience is required. You must first learn to endure hits, as physical endurance is the foundation of everything."
