Originally, Lu Zhou expected that more than 100 volunteers could come over from the army, which was almost enough.

Unexpectedly, Minister Qin directly threw out a sentence, "Is one regiment enough?" This sentence really thundered him.

Lu Zhouhan said: "There are too many people in one regiment, you can get so many people, and I can't get so much experimental equipment." ”

A regiment is less than 1,000 people, and if you can't do it, it will have 2,000 people.

Even if he really needed a lot of help with this thing, it wouldn't be that much.

Minister Qin was speechless and said: "Then you have to give me a number, you play dumb riddles with me, how can I guess how many people you want to use?" ”

"About two hundred are enough." Originally, Lu Zhou planned to report a hundred, but seeing that this matter was discussed so smoothly, the number on his lips doubled.

Hearing that only two hundred people were enough, Minister Qin was also relieved, although as long as he could get this technology out, let alone one regiment, even two regiments, he could find a way to get Lu Zhou over, but involving so many personnel transfers, it was a troublesome thing after all.

And the more people involved in the project, the more difficult it is to keep the confidentiality work.

With a wave of his hand, Minister Qin immediately slapped the package ticket and said: "Okay, no problem, as long as you can get this technology out, where we can help, you must not be polite!" ”

In terms of the potential that this technology is currently showing, it is well worth his commitment.

If this technology is developed and matured, it can really achieve an all-round simulation of reality, then not only the training of the air force, but even conventional military exercises that are not generally aimed at strategic deterrence can be completed in virtual reality equipment.

By that time, the PLA will be able to save at least billions or even tens of billions of dollars a year in military spending.

And these saved military expenses can be used where they are needed more.

For example, scientific research, such as the construction of national defense facilities, and so on......

It is no exaggeration to say that as long as it can be used well, at a small level, this technology can change the training degree of an army, and at a large extent, it can even change a country's national defense strength.

Whatever the purpose, it's worth all the costs you pay for this technology.

……

After observing the scene, Minister Qin and Director Li did not stay here for long, disturbing Lu Zhou's research.

Before leaving, Minister Qin and Lu Zhou said that the unit to assist him in conducting the experiment would be arranged within a week, so that he would not have to worry about things outside of research.

In this way, there is an additional label called military industry on the head of this virtual reality technology.

It is precisely because of this label that the whole technology instantly has extraordinary significance, whether it is the experimenter or the question of confidentiality, under the illumination of this halo, it is no longer a problem.

I was quite satisfied with the solution that the senior sister came up with, and after Lu Zhou helped Professor Miel solve the problem of residence and visa, the whole project was started.

Before they start to build the whole system, they need to develop the outline of the entire technical roadmap, and then make the framework of the algorithm on this basis, and then the next thing is to collect data from those experimenters and analyze it step by step.

On the third day of Professor Miel's arrival, Lu Zhou suddenly received an unexpected phone call.

"Hello?"

"Hi...... I'm Sarot, I didn't expect this number to be able to get through? ”

Sarot?

Hearing this unexpected name, Lu Zhou was slightly stunned, and then said with a smile.

"I haven't changed my number...... Speaking of which, you haven't contacted me for so long, why did you suddenly think of contacting me. ”

Sarot coughed lightly and said with some embarrassment, "I didn't intend to disturb you, but ...... My friend seems to be lost, can you help me figure it out? ”

Lu Zhou: "...... Lost? Where is it? ”

"Shanghai."

Lu Zhou asked in disbelief, "...... Are you sure he's lost? ”

"Yes, we were supposed to attend an academic conference in Shanghai, but he suddenly disappeared in the middle of the meeting...... To be exact, while wandering the streets, I went to buy a drink, and when I came back, the others were gone. I've tried emailing and calling, but he hasn't replied to my messages until now. ”

When he said this, Sarot also felt that his statement was a little strange, but the truth of the matter was so bizarre.

In the whole Huaguo, he only knew one person, and when something like this happened, the only thing he could think of was to call Lu Zhou.

After listening to Professor Sarot's words, Lu Zhou took a sip of coffee and asked, "Is your friend male or female, what's his name?" ”

"Male, Dutch, long-time resident in Switzerland, name Miel ......"

"Poof——!

Hearing a slightly excited voice on the other end of the phone, Sarot was slightly stunned and asked.

"What's wrong?"

Wiping the coffee that emerged from the corner of his mouth, Lu Zhou said with an embarrassed expression.

"Nothing...... I'll ask someone I know to try to find him. ”

Professor Sarot nodded and said gratefully, "Then please." ”

Lu Zhou smiled and nodded.

"You're welcome, you can come and sit with me when you have time, I'll be in Jinling."

Sarot: "No problem! ”

……

Jinling Institute for Advanced Study.

In the makeshift virtual reality technology laboratory, Lu Zhou knocked on the door of Professor Miel's office, looked at him who was busy in front of the computer, and said speechlessly.

"I understand you're excited, but it's not like you won't even reply to an old friend's email."

"Old friends? Oh oh oh, I forgot a little bit about being busy, I'll get back to him. Now I'm writing a resignation letter...... You know, I used to work at the Swiss National Centre for Neural Network Research, and the director of our research center was very much in high esteem and said more than once that he wanted to promote me to project director, and now I left suddenly, and I have to explain to him why. ”

"Resignation procedures?" With a strange expression on his face, Lu Zhou said, "That's it...... I've got you covered. ”

“…… Done? ”

Miel froze, and his hand resting on the keyboard stopped.

Lu Zhou nodded: "I used your email address to send an email to the personnel department of the Neural Network Research Center...... They seemed quick to agree. ”

The air fell silent for a moment.

For a full ten seconds, there was not a single decibel sound in the entire office.

"What about Academician Ines' reply? What did he say? ”

Miel staggered up from his chair, his eyes bloodshot with excitement and an expression that seemed to have grasped the last straw...... Although Lu Zhou didn't know what he wanted to do.

"Ines? I don't know the name......"

After carefully searching his memory, Lu Zhou, who had no impression of this name at all, shook his head, "If it's a reply from the personnel department office, I can read it to you...... Anyway, it's just two sentences. ”

The expression on his face stiffened a little.

Standing there for a long time, Miel suddenly sat down in his chair.

“…… No need. ”

With a wave of his hand, he lowered his right hand and re-grasped the mouse.

Throwing his resignation letter, which he had written nearly 2,000 words, into the recycle bin, he opened the outline of the unfinished research protocol and began the work that was scheduled to begin tomorrow.

Although his depressed appearance was a bit worrying, but for the sake of him not only being in the mood to work, but even becoming more motivated, Lu Zhou felt that it was better not to comfort him with this extra move......

patted him on the shoulder encouragingly, threw down the sentence "Don't forget to reply to your old friend", and Lu Zhou turned around and left.
