In less than two hours that morning, Academician Chen Xihe explained every single one of Mo Jingchun's dozens of pages of questions.

For Mo Jingchun, without guidance, these were major problems that were difficult to solve. But for Chen Xihe, who had designed countless precision pieces of equipment for the country, it was as simple and interesting as teaching elementary school math during his university days.

After more than two hours, the elderly man was feeling a bit tired. Chen Xihe thought to himself, It's nothing like when I was young. Staying up all night was commonplace. When encountering many problems, the quieter the late night, the easier it was to think of solutions.

At the same time, what Mo Jingchun didn't know was that the personal files of both him and his sister, Candy, were once again placed on a Red Desk in a room with no windows.

On the Red Desk, besides the two file boxes, there were also three very conspicuous old-fashioned corded telephones.

If one looked closely at one of the phones, they would find that it didn't even have the most basic dial pad.

Chen Xihe had just taken off his Reading Glasses and was about to put them back in their case when he suddenly thought of something and put them back on.

"Isn't your software ready? Go get your computer. I'll take a look and see if there are any problems."

Mo Jingchun asked with a surprised look, "Teacher, aren't you a mechanical engineer? You also understand software and algorithms?"

Chen Xihe chuckled. In this era, most machinery involved software and algorithms. Although his main research direction was in the field of mechanics, after so many years of exposure and accumulation, Chen Xihe believed he wasn't much worse than those professors.

"Go get it. While you have the chance, if there are problems, I'll help you solve them together. When your Smart Anti-Shake Spoon comes out, remember to send a few to your teacher."

Mo Jingchun gave an awkward smile. How could he just give this thing away casually? Wouldn't that be cursing someone's health?

"Teacher, you definitely won't need it."

Chen Xihe was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter. "What are you thinking, you little fellow? I was thinking that if your Smart Anti-Shake Spoon works well, I plan to give it to others."

So that was it, Mo Jingchun suddenly understood.

Mo Jingchun strode back to his room, picked up the laptop from the desk, and when he reached the living room, he noticed that the Counselor was in the kitchen, holding Candy in one arm and stirring something in a pot with the other.

Mo Jingchun just glanced quickly and then went out again.

In fact, it was already past eleven o'clock, and Li Na, who was a bit hungry, saw that Mo Jingchun and Academician Chen Xihe were still talking, so she started boiling water to cook noodles.

Sure enough, the moment Mo Jingchun stepped out the door, the next second, Zhang Huizhen put more than half a roll of thin noodles into the pot of boiling water.

In the living room, after Mo Jingchun opened the simulator, he ran the encrypted and packaged Attitude Balance Algorithm.

"Teacher, look, all the problems are solved now. After I buy the parts and assemble a Smart Anti-Shake Spoon, I'll know the specific effect. Theoretically, the effect will be better than all the Smart Anti-Shake Spoons on the market."

Chen Xihe never liked to talk when he was thinking about problems. Looking at the effect after the algorithm ran on the simulator, the more Chen Xihe pondered, the tighter his brows furrowed.

If it weren't for the fact that the research institute also used the same simulator, Chen Xihe would have suspected that there was a problem with the simulator.

Thinking that the algorithm designed by his student for the Smart Anti-Shake Spoon might have a better effect than the most advanced anti-shake algorithm in the research institute, Chen Xihe found it incredible.

Chen Xihe returned to the Bedroom without a word, took out his dedicated computer, and walked to the living room.

"Xiao Chun, can I copy this packaged algorithm of yours and try running it on another project?"

"Ah? Of course." Mo Jingchun hesitated for a moment, but still agreed.

The software was originally encrypted using the advanced encryption algorithm that came with the AI Smart Butler. Using brute force cracking methods, for just one layer of encryption, with the maximum continuous computing power of supercomputers in various countries, it would theoretically be impossible to crack it in less than five years.

Mo Jingchun, who was always cautious and afraid of "what ifs," went crazy and added 100 layers of encryption, like a Luban lock, interlocking with each other. This also caused the packaged program to occupy an astonishing 103 megabytes of memory.

The actual memory occupied by the Attitude Balance Algorithm was less than 1 megabyte, only a little over seven hundred kilobytes.

On the sofa, Chen Xihe looked at the simulation results on the computer, his heart unable to calm down for a long time, his mind filled with all sorts of questions.

Why is this happening?

It shouldn't be like this, in fact, it should be impossible for such a result to appear, but it just happened. The facts are right in front of me, undeniable.

An Attitude Balance Algorithm used in a Smart Anti-Shake Spoon is actually more stable and efficient than an Attitude Balance Algorithm specifically developed and designed for fighter jets. This can no longer be described as just incredible.

Calling it an algorithm is no longer appropriate, because this algorithm can actually make intelligent judgments based on existing conditions.

It's not that this algorithm has reached the level of artificial intelligence, it can only be said that this is a surprisingly comprehensive and applicable algorithm.

Just like existing desktop systems, it allows other software programs to run and work on the platform.

To verify his conjecture, Chen Xihe tried testing a few other projects.

The results were shocking. For over 50% of the projects, the original Attitude Balance Algorithm could be directly replaced by the Attitude Balance Algorithm designed by Mo Jingchun.

Taking a deep breath, Chen Xihe stared intently at Mo Jingchun.

"Xiao Chun, is this algorithm something you designed all by yourself?"

"Yes, Teacher. You're the second person to see this algorithm."

Chen Xihe was silent for a moment before speaking, "It's incredible. If I'm not mistaken, this algorithm of yours wasn't specifically designed for your Smart Anti-Shake Spoon from the beginning, was it?"

What Chen Xihe didn't expect was that Mo Jingchun admitted it directly.

"Yes, Teacher, it wasn't specifically designed for the Smart Anti-Shake Spoon at first."

This thing couldn't be hidden anyway. Lies would eventually be exposed, and for one lie, countless lies would be needed to cover up the initial lie.

As the lies increased, so did the loopholes. By then, even if no one exposed them, the lies would fall apart on their own.

Rather than doing that, it was better to be open about it.

Mo Jingchun chuckled, "Teacher, you might not believe it, but I especially like the cool Mechas that fly around in movies. This Attitude Balance Algorithm itself was specifically designed for real-time posture correction of Mechas during movement."

"Actually, I've tried testing this Attitude Balance Algorithm with selfie sticks and many anti-shake lenses, and the results were all good."

"Then why didn't you start with those products?" As soon as Chen Xihe said this, he realized the reason.

"Teacher, I'm just an ordinary student. I can't compete with them."
