Top Student at Their Peak

In any other situation, he really wouldn't care about such arrangements. He's not that narrow-minded, but with Tian Yanzhen sitting across from him while he sat behind his student, he couldn't help but feel a certain way.

Fortunately, at this moment, no one was probing into Academician Liu's inner thoughts, and everyone tacitly took their respective seats.

Liu Hao, on the other hand, was completely unperturbed, even a bit excited, as he followed his boss to the last row. After all, being able to attend such a high-level meeting already felt like a gain.

This probably explains once more that 99% of human troubles stem from an unclear sense of one's own position.

In more straightforward terms, most of human troubles arise from not having a clear understanding of one's own situation...

After everyone was seated, Yu Yangguang naturally began to preside over the meeting.

"Today isn't a very formal meeting, but since I invited everyone here, I'll be the host. Academician Tian, Academician Liu, I hope that's alright with everyone?"

"No need to be so formal, Mr. Yu," Liu Zhao Yuan casually replied.

"Haha, we are guests following the host's lead. Here, you are the host, so you call the shots," Tian Yanzhen responded with a direct joke.

"Then I won't stand on ceremony. The reason I invited everyone today is that I heard some news: there's been a breakthrough in the important material we commissioned Beijiang Aviation Heavy Industry Group to develop.

This material is crucial for our manned lunar project. It also includes the Sky Station project, and in the future, whether it's the outer coating or the main structure, this material will be needed.

Moreover, I heard that in the process of researching this material, a new algorithm was used. It performed effective analysis under conditions of insufficient lab data and unclear directions, and I'd like to confirm if that's the case.

Compared to material development, this new algorithm can be said to be more important. You should all know that the manned lunar project is an extremely complex multi-threaded task.

It's not just our materials engineering; from orbit modeling to optimization, adjustment, analysis, especially perturbation analysis, all require efficient computational and numerical optimization methods.

Therefore, I hope to understand if the new algorithm is truly effective and if it can be expanded to other fields. For example, whether it can effectively improve computational precision in complex aerospace tasks, helping us better plan orbits, optimize paths, and even predict potential perturbations.

Everyone here is a researcher involved in this project, so there's no need to worry about confidentiality issues. As I mentioned earlier, this isn't a formal meeting, so feel free to speak your mind."

Upon hearing Chief Engineer Yu say "feel free to speak your mind," Liu Hao, already in a heightened state of excitement, almost intended to be the first to speak.

Truly, if he hadn't been sitting next to his boss, hadn't looked at Zhang Zuolin beside him, and hadn't been stopped by the boss's gaze just when he wanted to speak, he would have started his report.

Yet, after receiving a look from the boss, he restrained himself, though he couldn't quite understand why his boss didn't let him speak first.

After all, he could have gotten some recognition in front of Chief Engineer Yu and also helped promote Qiao Yu's new method, which seemed like a win-win situation. Besides, the boss had specifically asked him to bring several reports over...

But he soon got the picture as Ma Botao also hadn't started to speak first, and kept looking at his boss.

Well, it seems the world of bigwigs is just too complicated. Liu Hao planned to ask his boss during the ride back if there was anything else involved.

Sure enough, after waiting for a while, Ma Botao realized that Zhang Zuolin didn't intend to speak, so he started reluctantly.

"Mr. Yu, I'm the person responsible for the specific development of the temperature-responsive gel intelligent material, so let me report first."

"Alright, please go ahead, Professor Ma," Yu Yangguang immediately responded.

"First, I can responsibly say that our laboratory's progress this time indeed owes thanks to the new computational analysis method. I believe Professor Luo from the Institute of Computational Mathematics can vouch for this."

At this point, Ma Botao turned to glance at Luo Jingren, who was sitting next to him.

However, Luo Jingren didn't look at him, acting as if he hadn't heard anything.

Ma Botao merely smiled and continued unfazed, "The situation then was like this..."

Ma Botao briefly recounted the troubles encountered in the laboratory at that time, Zhang Zuolin's invitation for him to inspect the laboratory data, and some conversations with Qiao Yu, selectively mentioning certain aspects...

As Ma Botao elaborated, Qiao Yu gradually sensed that something was amiss, occasionally glancing towards Tian Yanzhen on the opposite side.

Unfortunately, Tian Yanzhen was focused on Ma Botao as if attentively listening to the speech on the opposite side, completely ignoring his pleading look.

"...That's the situation at that time. Our lab continuously supplied identical data to Professor Luo without a break. However, the feedback from the Institute of Computational Mathematics remained as insufficient data.

Last week, Qiao Yu gave me a data analysis report, and based on this report, we adjusted the laboratory processes. Up to now, we've produced three batches of samples.

I have brought Qiao Yu's data analysis report, previous sample parameter reports, and the latest three batches' sample parameter reports for your review, Chief Engineer Yu."

After speaking, Ma Botao took out three pre-prepared reports, stood up, and handed them to Yu Yangguang over two people.

Yu Yangguang accepted the reports and took out a pair of glasses from his pocket to read them.

When Ma Botao returned to his seat, whispers began to fill the meeting room. Liu Hao, still pondering the thoughts of the bigwigs, was suddenly kicked a couple of times under the table by his mentor.

Then, his boss's nearly inaudible voice forcibly entered his mind.

"Stop dawdling, get ready. When Chief Engineer Yu finishes reading the report, I'll let you speak. Make sure to give Qiao Yu all the praise you can! Got it?"

"Huh? Got it!"
