Super God-Level Top Student

Yes, under normal circumstances, Su Mucheng is actually a very generous girl.

With just a word from Su, she generously gave a 660,000 red envelope to every member of the project team, directly sending some people soaring with joy.

But on some other matters, Su Mucheng, like other girls, can be quite petty.

After all, there is a kind of cold called, "It's cold because mom thinks you're cold."

For instance, there is a sense of grievance called, "Your girlfriend thinks you've been wronged."

So, Su, who had been quietly browsing the "Mathematics Annual" official website in the lab, glanced at the trending searches on the internet upon Dou Dou's reminder, and immediately felt annoyed.

Isn't it just a ChatGPT?

Is there really a need to be that happy over it?

It was only twenty minutes since Apple announced the collaboration, and the speculation on whether the Apple 15 series products would surge in price again had already shot up to the second spot on the trending searches.

"Qiao, do you think there's a possibility that our smart Dou Dou could push out videos like those big data pushes, going all out?" Su Mucheng, feeling slightly irritable, rolled her eyes and looked up to ask.

Su Mucheng also wanted to record a video for Dou Dou and release it, to take the spotlight back from Apple. But she didn't have the traffic.

Qiao Ze, without even lifting his head, replied, "Yes, but we would need to store part of Dou Dou's functionality on the servers of relevant traffic pools."

This answer left Su Mucheng feeling somewhat disheartened, so she sighed deeply, "Sigh..."

It was indeed very troublesome, as any connection with traffic pools signified huge interests. Whether it was short videos or other software, it was naturally impossible to host Dou Dou's backend programming. To force such a thing would be within the jurisdiction of criminal law.

For example, the crime of destroying a computer system.

"Hm?" Hearing the sigh, Qiao Ze looked up at Su Mucheng.

"It's nothing. Just felt a bit suffocated watching educational videos. I'm going to hang out with Hanna," said Su Mucheng.

Qiao Ze nodded and turned his attention back to his screen.

He was chatting with Roth Dugan.

Not through email, but the software they had used when discussing papers with Roth Dugan last time.

This time, however, they didn't use video or voice features.

"...Qiao, are you really so unmoved by the offer that Daniel presented? Alright, I admit, I don't like that guy Daniel – we always argue. But this time, I think he's right. You should come to Princeton, only here can your potential be truly unleashed, and my project needs you."

"Thank you, Lotte, but why don't you consider coming to Huaxia?"

"No no no, Qiao, please don't say that!"

"I'm serious, Lotte. Don't you think Huaxia is more fitting for future development?"

"Oh god, is it really going to be like this? Fine, let's play a game. Let's look at the advantages of both sides and come to a conclusion in the end, to see whose advice to take.

You start with a reason why I should go to Huaxia, then I'll try to refute it. If I manage to successfully refute it, then that advantage does not exist. If I can't, then it'll be my turn to present a reason for you to come to Princeton, and we'll keep going until someone loses."

Clearly, Roth Dugan was very confident.

"Good!" Qiao Ze replied briefly.

"Then you start," Lotte Dugan generously sent the message.

Qiao Ze tasked Dou Dou with handling the software, instructing it to "Mimic my habits to win the game mentioned above."

He wasn't good at persuading people, which was exactly what Dou Dou excelled at.

Qiao Ze then diverted his attention from the computer to the problems on his draft paper.

...

" Whoosh..."

Dou Dou took over the software and immediately generated an image out of thin air, then sent it over.

"?" The professor on the other end sent back a question mark.

"When mathematicians play a game, they should compare data. This is a chart showing the changes in Huaxia's annual power generation over the past five years, from 2017 to 2022. From the chart, you can see that in these five years, Huaxia's power generation increased by 1718.53 TWh, while the United States only by 95.53 TWh. Lotte, you know what this means, don't you?"

"First off, can you confirm the accuracy of the numbers in this chart?"

"Of course, you may question my math, but not this chart. The data in the chart is professionally calculated, with verifiable sources."

"Okay, let me check it. Wait a moment..."

"Alright."

After a short wait, a response came from the other side.

"Yes, you're right! But we cannot just look at the growth, we must also look at the absolute values. While Huaxia's growth is significant, last year's total power generation was 8839.13 TWh, and the United States was at 4296.88 TWh. On a per capita basis, we are still ahead."

"Lotte, don't be unreasonable. We both know that the electricity consumption of residents and that of manufacturing are two different concepts. The increase in power generation indicates that Huaxia's secondary industry is still thriving. When placed in the current external environment, it only shows that you are failing.

All the talk of competition, of industry chain repatriation, is just lip service with no practical significance. Additionally, I can show you another chart."

Soon, Dou Dou sent another chart over.

This chart was even bigger, listing the growth of power generation over the past five years for other major economies in the world besides Huaxia and the United States.

What can I say, the gap was even larger.

Apart from the mysterious eastern nation next to Huaxia, the growth in electricity was very poor. And that mysterious eastern nation next to Huaxia was constrained by its average educational level, leading to many other areas where it was lagging behind.
