Chapter 490 - 289: Sensation at Peking University

Academician Ma was waiting for that statement. On the hardware side, they had already stacked almost enough materials. The real issue was how to connect them and schedule them uniformly.

Li Xiang’s artificial intelligence gave them a direction, but they dared not easily attempt to add follow-up modules to this software.

Once developed, whether the two would be compatible was an unknown.

After all, they were too unfamiliar with the core of Li Xiang’s artificial intelligence.

The best solution was to have Li Xiang take the lead to solve this problem.

That’s why today’s visit took place.

After the meeting ended, Academician Ma invited Li Xiang to visit Peking University.

"I am an honorary professor at Peking University and would go there every month to give a few lectures. I happen to have a class shortly. After the class, we’ll find the principal. I’ve talked to Principal Gong about your situation. You’ll get an honorary professor title, and you can lecture students when you’re free, or not if you’re unavailable."

"Uh, I’ll pass."

Giving lectures to Peking University students?

Better forget about it.

The two took a car and arrived at the Peking University campus.

This century-old prestigious school, which previously could only be admired on TV, now walking in its campus one can more deeply feel the academic atmosphere of this historic school.

Even though the winter holidays were approaching, it did not affect everyone’s enthusiasm for learning at all.

Li Xiang followed Academician Ma to a public classroom, which was already packed with people.

"I’ll go to class first. You can explore the Peking University campus. After my class, we’ll go to the principal’s office."

"Alright, Academician Ma, you should head to class, don’t bother with me."

Li Xiang waved his hand, signaling him to go. The students were already prepared for class, waiting for Academician Ma.

"Alright, I’ll head to class now."

Academician Ma glanced at his watch. The meeting had delayed them a bit, and they got here somewhat hurriedly, but the timing was just right.

After Academician Ma entered, Li Xiang intended to wander around casually, but alone, he didn’t know where to go!

So he simply walked into the classroom, found a corner seat in the back, and sat down.

Academician Ma saw this and said nothing, instead addressing everyone: "Alright, students, we will begin our class. Today, I will be discussing the application of artificial intelligence in E-level supercomputing."

"Classmate, you even dared to be late for Academician Ma’s class?"

The person sitting next to Li Xiang was a chubby young man with glasses, apparently mistaking Li Xiang for a student attending the lecture.

"Uh, it’s okay, not really late, just starting."

Li Xiang gave a slight smile without explanation.

Meanwhile, Professor Ma was already lecturing, so the chubby young man stopped chatting and listened attentively to the lecture.

"I believe many of you have seen the recent reports on the internet. Our country’s research in artificial intelligence has made significant breakthroughs. The creation of Xiao Mu is placing us globally at the forefront of artificial intelligence."

"Yes, recently, Artificial Intelligence Xiao Mu has been quite the sensation, and many licensed companies have opened up a language dialogue interface, which is much better than Chat GPT."

Professor Ma’s remarks elicited a warm response from the crowd.

There’s no help for it. Currently, Xiao Mu is extensively covered online, with bloggers’ test videos flying all over.

"It is said that this software was independently developed by one individual, who is exceptionally impressive."

Beside Li Xiang, the chubby young man was actively interacting, expressing his admiration when mentioning the developer.

Seeing such an intense reaction from the audience, Academician Ma meaningfully glanced at Li Xiang.

Li Xiang shrugged his shoulders, never expecting to have admirers among Peking University students.

On the podium, Academician Ma continued teaching, occasionally interacting with the students. The entire classroom atmosphere was lively and dynamic, with active student engagement yielding great classroom effects.

"Xiao Mu, having been employed by various research institutes and large companies, has proven itself to be outstanding, ..."

By now, the chubby boy next to Li Xiang had filled his notebook with notes.

He casually glanced at Li Xiang and noticed he came empty-handed.

"You attended Academician Ma’s class with only your mind? With all the content Ma covered, can you remember everything?"

"I do remember it."

"Blowing your trumpet without drafting! Such profound knowledge, you won’t remember it by just listening without understanding it later."

"Why would I bluff you? If I told you Xiao Mu was developed by me, would you believe it?"

"You’ve surely filled up the air. If you are the author of Xiao Mu, I’ll call you dad."

Just after the chubby youngster said this, Academician Ma announced on stage, "Today, I’m honored to have invited the creator of Xiao Mu here, and his name is Li Xiang. Everyone, please welcome him with applause."

Upon hearing this, the chubby boy was dumbfounded. His mouth gaped open as he incredulously stared at Li Xiang: "You aren’t really Li Xiang, right?"

"Authentically genuine."

After saying this, Li Xiang stood up amidst the public gaze: "Pleased to meet everyone. I am Xiao Mu’s developer, my name is Li Xiang."

As soon as Li Xiang finished his introduction, the public classroom erupted.

"Oh my gosh, so he’s Li Xiang? I thought he was a classmate like me."

"So handsome, I want a photo with him, quickly snap a picture for me."

People in the classroom took out their phones, trying to take photos with Li Xiang.

"Li Xiang, since the students are so enthusiastic, why not come up and say a few more words to them?"

Li Xiang nodded and stepped to the podium: "I’m delighted to stand on the platform of this top-notch institution and chat with everyone. I’m really just like any of you, only I happen to enjoy computers and devoted more time to them. Our generation is standing on the shoulders of giants, looking forward to the future. Our predecessors laid a strong foundation for us, and what we need to do is to build on that foundation and strive for even higher peaks."

Following Li Xiang’s motivational words, the atmosphere in the classroom heightened further, with some students even calling more people over, spreading the news of Xiao Mu’s author arriving on campus quickly.

Seeing more and more people converging, Li Xiang knew that if he didn’t leave soon, it would be impossible to go, so he quickly wrapped things up and left the classroom.

"Godfather, wait for me, Godfather."

By now, the chubby young man had realized that Li Xiang wasn’t late; he had arrived together with Academician Ma.

As a computer science major student, who doesn’t know the artificial intelligence "Xiao Mu" in this major now?

The author has been revered as a deity in their circles.

His idol was right in front of him, yet he was disdainful of his idol for not taking notes during the class.

At this moment, he wished he could smack himself.

Recalling the bet they just made, he had no hesitation, exclaiming as he chased after him, "Godfather!"

Turning back, Li Xiang saw an unexpected chubby ’son’ trailing him. Who could handle that?

Immediately, he took flight, slipping away.

"Master, don’t leave, please autograph for me."

"Let’s take a picture together."

The students behind wished to chase, but were stopped by Academician Ma.

The lecture wasn’t over yet, and for now, he had the authority to manage the students.

However, outside the classroom, students disregarded any constraints and charged over directly.

Li Xiang, after much effort, shook off the pursuers but found himself lost.

Nonetheless, the entire campus was abuzz, with more students converging in one direction.

For Peking University students, a star performing a concert or giving a lecture might not pique their interest, but a big shot in the field of research coming? That’s an entirely different story, sparking wild enthusiasm.

Just as Li Xiang sat down to catch his breath, two girls walked straight towards him.

"Could it be? Have I already been recognized? Oh, students these days are really crazy."

Just when Li Xiang thought he’d been exposed, one of the girls wearing a mask asked him, "Classmate, where is the public classroom for Academician Ma? We heard the developer of Artificial Intelligence Xiao Mu is here, and we want to take a photo with him."

Hearing that he hadn’t been recognized, Li Xiang waved and casually dismissed, "Sorry, I’m not from around here. You should ask someone else."

Unexpectedly, just then, the two students who had pursued him earlier showed up, pointing at Li Xiang and exclaimed, "Master Li Xiang is right there～"
