Chapter 114 The Internet Goes Wild

Su Xiaocai doesn't care. If someone else has the ability to do better than her within two months, she can only express her admiration and swallow the loss.

But Su Xiaocai was confident that Feifan Island would be their only choice, and she was the only one who could complete their plan perfectly.

Before leaving, General Bai's secretary greeted Su Xiaocai on behalf of General Bai and made an appointment for dinner on Saturday.

Admiral Bai's secretary whispered, "Are those robotic arms ready?"

"I've discovered that you guys will never forget to exploit me at any time." Su Xiaocai half-jokingly said, "If I say I didn't do it well, what are you going to do?"

There was no contract signed and no deposit paid, so she had the final say on how long the work would take.

"I'd like to say hello to you anyway. Judging from your mental state, your injuries should not be serious." Admiral Bai spoke very smoothly and politely: "Dear Professor Su, can you complete the ordered robotic arm before Saturday?"

As expected of Admiral Bai's secretary, he can change his attitude with ease.

But did he think that by changing his posture, he could make her speed up?

The other party operated a few times on the phone without leaving any trace.

Su Xiaocai's eyes sparkled when the message popped up. "Yes, I can definitely finish it before Saturday, I promise."

General Bai's secretary put his hands behind his back skillfully. No one likes to do nothing all day. If someone does, it must be because they don't have enough money.

They have a group of people who need to install the robotic arm first. These people will appear on the competition field at that time to serve as judges or security guards.

A factory that customizes robotic arms cannot be built just like that, so let’s customize them for a few people first.

Admiral Bai had given a list of people before. Su Xiaocai had already made the arm, and they wanted to help them install it first.

Those who return to the team will be given priority at the dinner party.

They need to install the mechanical limbs as soon as possible and then train them.

As long as people see their value, more people will rejoin the team.

"Okay, I'll go to dinner, thank you Admiral Bai for the invitation."

After Su Xiaocai finished speaking, she went ahead to the vegetable garden.

She was rushing to the vegetable garden not to fool the organizing committee, there was really something going on in the garden.

The little robot just sent her a message saying that mushrooms were growing on the tree stump.

After such a long delay, she was afraid that small animals or insects would come and eat the mushrooms.

When Su Xiaocai arrived, the little robot was standing next to the mushrooms, catching the small flying insects attracted by the mushrooms.

"Hello, Master. You look really energetic today."

"Where did you learn these words?" Su Xiaocai glanced at it, and then saw the mushrooms on the tree stump.

Blue umbrella, golden edge, white handle, wrinkles under the umbrella... after comparing many features.

Su Xiaocai was very sure that it was the fungus given by Professor Li.

"Your classmate, a boy who passed by said to a girl wearing red clothes that she looked really smart today, and then the girl touched the boy's body. There were two loud claps. Today you also wore red clothes, so I also praised you for your spirit. Do you want to give me two claps in return?"

That's called showing affection.

Su Xiaocai patted its little head lovingly and said, "If it continues to imitate it, it will become a pervert."

Well, she couldn't stop it, "Thank you, bean sprout."

"You're welcome." Little Bean Sprout continued to be in a daze, staring at the mushroom blankly.

Su Xiaocai helped it take off the bamboo leaves that fell on its head. The diligent little bean sprout has a strong ability to imitate, but it is not an artificial intelligence. The backward chip prevents it from evolving into an artificial intelligence.

Once her city is built, she will upgrade it so that it can play with other AIs.

On the tree stump, two mushrooms have already opened, with the cap being ten centimeters in diameter.

There are three small ones, each only as big as the little finger, and the gold edges are not visible yet.

Open the robot's data log to check the growth of the mushrooms.

Eight hours had passed since it had grown out of the wood, and during that time the little robot had sprayed it with water mist eight times, but apart from that, it had done nothing else.

Other senior students have done similar things, and their training process has many similarities with hers.

So what is the deciding factor?
Su Xiaocai looked at her hands. Could it be that she was really risking her life in order to survive?
I took a picture of the mushrooms growing and sent it to the sophomore group.

After a few seconds, a bunch of seniors showed up.

"I beg you for the fungus. All my mushrooms have died."

"Miracle Caicai, magical Caicai."

"Wait for me, give me one."

"Schoolgirl, how did you do that? My mushrooms didn't grow."

[Su Xiaocai]: I don’t know, I know nothing. I just smeared the fungus the teacher gave me on a tree stump and that was it.

"Good fellow, do you have any specific data? What kind of trees were they applied on? What about the changes in air and temperature?"

Professor Li, who was providing planting guidance in the greenhouse, was told by students that the blue gold healing mushroom was successfully grown by Su Xiaocai. He immediately put down what he was doing and checked the pictures in the group.

He put on his glasses, compared them carefully, and nodded with joy.

It is indeed this kind of mushroom. The most rare thing is that the mushroom shape is perfect, without any insect pests or rot.

[Professor Li]: I'll go to your field.

His fingers were trembling with excitement.

Having almost sent the message to the wrong person, Professor Li couldn't wait to go and take a look.

Unexpectedly, this school became the first to successfully cultivate blue and gold healing mushrooms.

The progress of other schools has not even been touched upon.

Professor Li was secretly happy.

All the students around me saw the message in the group.

The look in the professor's eyes was like that of a pitiful puppy.

Professor Li only pointed out a few people who were members of the team established for the new research project and were specifically responsible for mushroom cultivation.

They are the ones that Su Xiaocai has instructed.

The others looked at them as they went away with sad eyes. They wanted to go too, but unfortunately they missed the chance.

Several people arrived at Su Xiaocai's vegetable garden.

Su Xiaocai's vegetable garden is very different from other people's gardens. The fruits and vegetables are arranged very neatly, giving people a sense of meticulous care.

The bamboo forest is not large, but it provides shade and is very refreshing.

Su Xiaocai sat in the shade of the bamboo forest, fanning herself and eating a banana.

The little robot in the vegetable garden was diligently circling around the tree stump.

It’s so relaxing. I’m so envious.

The senior students couldn't bear to see her being so casual.

He rushed over and threw all kinds of questions.

"Don't ask me. I don't know how they grow. You have done more in-depth research on mushrooms, so you should know more than me." Su Xiaocai pushed all the recorded data to them.

She had too much work on her shoulders, so she could push the work to them and make the contribution of her little robot worthwhile.

Faced with such a generous junior, the senior students were moved and wanted to give her a big hug.

Su Xiaocai refused to hug him, "I am a wounded person."

"Oh, I almost forgot that you fought against the Zerg again." The senior students asked with concern.

"Yeah, I got beaten up pretty badly." Su Xiaocai said lazily, "People on the Internet said I've regressed."

The senior student clenched her fist and stood up for Su Xiaocai, "Those netizens are too idle. You have already worked so hard."

They had also watched the videos taken by the public, and the density and intensity of the insect-man attacks were obviously higher than what they had encountered in the square before.

Those who say that Su Xiaocai has regressed must have only watched the slowed-down version.

Only when the video is slowed down can the average person’s vision follow.

The video that is played normally is so unclear that even the eyes can’t follow it, let alone analyze it.

But Su Xiaocai was smiling with her legs crossed.

The senior students knew that she lacked the nerve to care.

"Netizens are all strangers, and I can't meet them in real life." Even if I meet them, so what? Su Xiaocai is sure that she will never become friends with those who slander her.

Now for the most important mushrooms.

Two of the mushrooms are ripe and ready to be picked.

The professor put on gloves and waved for the students to come over and help.

They immediately turned around and worked together, patting the two mushrooms to let them spread their spores and leaving some seeds for follow-up observation.

The senior student said, "We want to come back later to see how your mushroom is growing. Of course, we will only observe and will not interfere with its growth. Do you mind?"

"Don't mind, you can even take over its cultivation." Su Xiaocai was also surprised that it could grow.

She has been looking at the data for a long time.

She also used the data of her senior students for reference and comparison, and conducted similar control experiments on humidity, temperature, and growth environment simulations.

When the senior student heard Su Xiaocai's generous words, she quickly waved her hand to refuse. It was not easy to successfully train someone, and they couldn't take him away and do whatever they wanted.

Just leave their spores on the stakes and wait for the next harvest, which is a sustainable development.

They watched for a long time, discussing in low voices.

"Could it be related to the material of the wood? What kind of wood is this?"

Su Xiaocai: "I picked it up. It should be from a pine tree."

"Could it be related to the bamboo forest?"

"That's impossible. I looked at the place where many people took photos of it, and there was no bamboo forest." "Maybe it has something to do with the water used for irrigation. The water in this small pond..."

Su Xiaocai had been looking at what was recorded on the tablet, and she finally noticed something special.

It was thundering. There had been thunderstorms for the previous week.

Could this be related too?

It seems that some plants only grow during thunderstorms.

This mushroom can’t be so unique that it only grows when there is thunder.

"School girl, what are you mumbling about?"

"I'm looking at the recent weather records." Su Xiaocai told them that there have been frequent thunderstorms recently.

"One of the conditions for mushroom growth is likely to require thunderstorms."

The senior student widened her eyes and asked in surprise, "Are you going to scare me?"

Nonsense.

If others hear it, they will laugh their heads off.

Professor Li asked them to be serious, as mushrooms have no auditory nerves.

It may be that the content of a certain element in the air increases after thunder.

With a hypothesis of direction, it is much easier to do experiments. Science is something that sometimes depends on luck.

If you are lucky, you can save a lot of effort.

"Very good, very good. Student Su is worthy of being the pride of our college." The senior students clapped their hands happily to each other.

Although their experimental project has not started yet, if the blue gold therapeutic mushroom is successfully cultivated, they will not have to worry about earning credits this semester.

"Go back and share it with other classmates, and let's compete to see who can grow it faster."

Since Su Xiaocai was willing to share, they couldn't hide it. Professor Li was right next to them and couldn't afford to be selfish.

After they collected the information, they left happily.

Su Xiaocai gently picked one of the mushrooms that had not opened, leaving a small one on the wooden stake.

She grew them all. It was destined that she really grew the mushrooms. Maybe great luck would come to her.

Metaphysics is so wonderful.

After picking it off, she gave it to Chibi Maruko and put it in its stomach.

"Let's go to the laboratory." Su Xiaocai handed the mushroom experiment over to Xiaowanzi.

She provides guidance and Maruko practices.

The careful Maruko is fully capable of doing delicate work and can help Caicai in other areas. Maruko seems to be floating when walking these days.

The experiment did not involve any company money, all of which came from Su Xiaocai's private bank.

Su Xiaocai's small treasury shrank rapidly.

Since we have agreed to serve as the venue for the competition, we cannot just talk about it, we must take action.

Su Xiaocai began to work hard, cooperating with Wisdom 02 and also bringing in Wisdom 03.

Su Xiaocai had her own ideas about the design of the competition venue. She wanted it to be more than just what the tender required. She wanted it to be convenient for the general public to watch.

I hope everyone feels involved.

The next day, the tender was announced.

Yu Haiming has urgently hired people and found Fanqi, wanting him to find more trustworthy people to guard the server area.

You can also find a local person, but it must be completed within one month.

Su Xiaocai's chip production line is also operating overtime.

Purchases of servers and chip consumables are entered into the company's accounts.

Money is pouring in like a waterfall, a lot of money is being spent.

This gave a shock to the two major shareholders, Mr. Hu and Wu Zhaoxiang.

I haven't seen the company issuing a large number of accounts recently. How come they are rolling out such a big deal all of a sudden?

In just two or three days, hundreds of billions of dollars were gone.

The two of them took some time off to come to Feifan Island Company. They did not have management rights over the company, but they could ask about the company's recent business status.

They wanted to meet Su Xiaocai, and the only one who received them was Yu Haiming.

"What are you doing recently?" Mr. Hu asked frankly.

Yu Haiming knew that he was not blaming her, he was just curious.

"We are planning to take on a competition project recently." The bid for the competition was sent out and many game companies saw it.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is a project for a large company.

The content requires too much sophistication, and most importantly, the time they give is too short.

Except for a few companies that were notified in advance and had templates available so they could participate in the competition, it was difficult for others to even bid.

However, there are also a few companies that want to fight for it, maybe they can use some connections to get it.

"Shall we take this? Is it possible?" It's not that Mr. Hu underestimates his own company, but the company was established too recently. The scale of the competition covers the entire universe, and they have just installed servers on a dozen planets.

"Let's not talk about the server. When did our company develop a game related to the competition venue?"

Yu Haiming did not hide anything from the shareholders, "Develop now."

Wu Zhaoxiang's eyes almost popped out of their sockets in surprise. "How many people are there in our technical team? Can we make it in more than a month?"

The accounts don’t show who is on the technical team. This is what puzzles Mr. Hu and Wu Zhaoxiang. No matter how mysterious it is, there must be a shadow.

They hadn't even seen a shadow.

"Anyway, we have one month to bid, so don't worry. Even if we don't win the bid, we have other plans."

Given Su Xiaocai’s pursuit, it is definitely not as simple as just developing a site.

Yu Haiming is very confident that no one can surpass Feifan Island in terms of game venue design.

He assured: "When has the boss ever let you down?"

Also.

Mr. Hu and Wu Zhaoxiang spread their hands. Anyway, it was the first year and it wasn't the end of the year yet, so dividends were impossible.

It’s not that they fell into an economic scam, they are just afraid that Yu Haiming is too young and his decision is too radical.

Make a betting agreement with others or something like that.

But they were still unhappy because they couldn't see the technical team. Su Xiaocai was hiding too deeply. A project like that would definitely require thousands of people.

I don’t know where the person is hiding, it’s so mysterious.

Both Mr. Hu and Wu Zhaoxiang were a little curious.

The students and young people were excited when they knew the competition was about to begin.

The project bids have come out, and judging by the content, the first and second rounds will be held online.

“Is this lowering the threshold infinitely?”

"It's good that it's no longer limited to college graduates. This kind of screening is very beneficial. There's no need to undergo classified training in the military camp. Talented people can be identified by simply comparing them online."

“I don’t know if there is a registration fee.”

"Don't think too highly of the problem. In online competitions, there is a possibility of cheating."

"Not only that, but the simulation cabin will be much simpler to operate, unless it can be like the Extraordinary Island, which can enhance the sense of reality even more."

"Lowering the threshold will help balance things out. I hope this kind of competition will be fairer."

"Even if you win online, there will definitely be actual competitions. What about those poor people? Or is it limited to school students participating, and the school will pay for the expenses?"

"Will Feifan Island accept the project? Will it? Please give me a definite answer from the government. If they do, I will sign up and I only trust Feifan Island."

"It's too difficult. Feifan Island is hard to follow. How much does it cost to cover so many places? It's also difficult to achieve in time."

"Maybe a big company knew the news in advance and undertook this big production. I'm really looking forward to it."

"First of all, to complete such a large-scale online competition project, it must be a large company. Can we circle the scope? Maybe someone knows about the project in advance."

"Anyway, it's not our company. I'm an employee of xx game company, and my boss just found out about this project. We don't have the confidence to do it at all. There may be too many bugs in the middle. Once there are bugs, and the students lose the game, I can't imagine how badly we will be scolded."

"Our company wants to do it and has a plan, but we don't dare to take it. Without tens of billions of dollars to support this project, it would be difficult to even start preparations."

"Can high school students who are not college students participate?"

"It should still be limited to college students, right? Otherwise, what should we do next? Give up?"

"Again, let's see how the situation develops. If we can launch an online competition, then the threshold will definitely be lowered."

"The conditions are too harsh and the time is too short. It is clearly for companies with resources."

"Why didn't you guess that Feifan Island would take it over?"

"They are a small company that hasn't even managed to service weapons, unless they play big and bet trillions at a time."

"Is it possible that Feifan Island is really destroyed? They sent someone to our remote planet today and bought a warehouse. The technicians are also working in it."

Netizens raised many questions, and some went to the communication platforms of large companies to ask them whether they would undertake the projects.

Of course, some people also asked about the Feifan Island website.

Other companies are doing better. Some said they are already writing their bids and are confident of winning the bid.

Some simply say that it is not their area of ​​expertise, so they will not invest.

Only Feifan Island is calm and peaceful.
