Doomsday Code

Chapter 1015 Morning Meeting

"Let's go. The buildings up here are just a cover; the real research institute is underground."

Led by Huidun, Chen Cheng arrived at the actual entrance to the research institute.

Then you can see that HuiDun uses mechanical locks, combination locks, magic locks, and other verification methods before finally opening the elevator door leading to the underground research institute.

The heavy, dark gold door slowly opened, and inside the elevator, all you could see were two buttons: one up and one down.

Then, Huidun pressed the down button three times, the elevator doors slowly closed, and then it went down.

"These insurance measures were all suggested to me by you. Although they are a bit troublesome, they are really quite useful."

Hui Dun said with a smile.

The elevator stopped, and Huidun pressed the down button three more times before pressing the open button.

When the elevator doors opened, if he hadn't seen that the equipment inside was an antique from his previous life, he would have really thought he had traveled back to the secret research institute where he used to work.

Huge incandescent lamps illuminated the entire underground research institute as if it were daytime, while the ventilation system's fans roared incessantly.

Some of the researchers were carrying paper documents, while others were using tablet-like devices that looked like bricks to conduct tests.

"Come on, let me introduce you. This place is 300 meters underground, and its area exceeds 10 kilometers."

Based on the information you left behind, and with the efforts of Simov and his colleagues, the research institute can now be roughly divided into several parts.

One is the reverse engineering department that you provided. This department has the most people, since you provided so much technology. With the current manpower, it would probably be enough for them to reverse engineer for decades.

Then there's the part about using the information you provided, combined with our current technology, to make further technological advancements. This part has the fewest personnel, and most of them are from the Magic Institute.

As Huidun walked, he pointed out the various entrances to the underground caves that connected to the main hall, explaining them to Chen Cheng.

"Oh, and this is the Technical Calculation Department, which brings together the most elite group of mathematicians in the kingdom."

They are the brains of this entire research institute; all the reverse engineering and theoretical verification of the technology were calculated by them, bit by bit.

The technical formulas in the materials Chen Cheng provided weren't that detailed. After all, in terms of mathematics, if it were really detailed, even if he filled his space ring to the brim, he still wouldn't be able to fit the analysis process of those formulas.

He can only provide mathematical tools for formulas and corresponding solutions.

The mathematical tools here are not rulers and compasses in the ordinary sense, but rather simplified mathematical formulas for complex mathematical problems, such as calculus.

Chen Cheng provided a rather detailed explanation of such tools and formulas.

Even so, Chen Cheng never expected them to improve so quickly, since before this, their math skills were at most at the high school level.

This only shows that even in this unscientific world with magic, there are still many mathematical and logical geniuses.

Following Huidun into the brain of this research institute, all that could be heard were the rustling of pens and paper, the clicking of beads striking an abacus, and the clattering of a mechanical hand cranking a computer.

Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that there were more methods than just these calculations; some even involved using mithril to draw magic circles for numerical calculations.

When Huidun saw Chen Cheng looking at the people using the magic circle for calculations, he smiled and explained:

"It was you who inspired this idea. You said that these complex patterns that constitute magic are actually arranged according to certain rules."

After that, Simov and his team, together with the Magic Academy, put a lot of effort into it, and eventually used several specific spells to modify it into a calculator capable of performing complex mathematical formulas.

Chen Cheng looked at the person's calculation process and roughly understood the thought process.

They found a specific exhaustive formula that required a lot of calculations, and then used the different magic rune corridors required for the magic circle as the starting point. The process of forming the magic circle was the calculation process.

Naturally, the final result is the result needed after exhaustive search.

It can be said that such calculations are almost error-free, because if there is an error, the magic circle will naturally not be formed.

Furthermore, performing exhaustive calculations in this way was the most convenient and fastest method before the invention of computers.

Then Chen Cheng picked up several sheets of paper that had already been calculated. Looking at the formulas on them, it was clear that they were performing the three-wave formula calculation for the termination reaction of the dog-beating stick.

This is already the last few steps, and it is clear that they have already been doing preliminary calculations on the formulas related to the dog-beating stick.

After leaving the brain of this research institute, the large clock in the center of the hall struck.

Upon hearing the bell, Huidun explained:

"This is the time for the institute's departments to hold their daily morning meetings. Let's go and sit in on it, and you can also see what work Simov and his team are currently doing."

However, at this moment, Chen Cheng shook his head and said:

"Let's forget about it. They're on the right track now, and they're doing quite well. If I show up now, it might disrupt their mindset, so let's just forget about it."

After I leave, don't tell them I was here.

If you want me to review it, you can show me their archived files. But as for offering personal guidance or anything like that, let's forget about it.

This wasn't because Chen Cheng had any other emotions, but because he had overseen major engineering projects and knew very well that what was needed at this time was to remain calm and allow them to complete their tasks according to their own plans.

"Okay, then. But you can also sit in on this meeting. I won't tell them who you are."

Besides, with your current appearance, I doubt anyone would recognize you unless they told them it was you.

Chen Cheng touched his face; it was indeed as Huidun had said.

"OK then."

As Ximov's mentor, Chen Cheng still wanted to hear their work report.

The meeting room wasn't large. When we entered, Simov and his team had already started their morning meeting.

There was no distinction of rank or status here, so when they saw Huidun enter, they didn't bow or greet him, but continued discussing their own issues.

"The calculation of the formula is now in its final stage, and your exploration department is now telling me that the estimated amount of raw ore found is wrong and the reserves are insufficient. What are you all doing?"

At this moment, Simov pointed at a dark-skinned man and cursed him.

Meanwhile, Huidun was whispering its explanation to Chen Cheng.

The person being scolded was the leader of the prospecting office who specifically went to find the initial stick used to make the dog-beating stick.

Listening to Simov's curses, it was clear that their previous exploration of the original mineral reserves had contained a calculation error, and the quantity was far less than calculated.

Just when Chen Cheng thought it was a simple work mistake, the section chief, with red eyes, said:

"Dean, you can't scold us like that. It's not our fault. We calculated strictly according to the estimation methods we learned. Indeed, based on the estimation and exploration data, we did not make any mistakes in our calculations."

To prevent any unforeseen circumstances, we've used this reserve calculation formula before when searching for other minerals, and the data differences were minimal.

However, seeing that he still dared to talk back, Simov also lost his temper and pointed at his nose, saying:

"What do you mean by that? Do you mean the underground mine has grown legs and run away?"

You know the formula is correct, so if it's correct, who is wrong?
