After Flirting with the God-Tier Beautiful Tycoon - Chapter 70.1
The space between the third and fifth floors featured a high-ceiling design, making the area look massive and nearly endless. There were at least a hundred white spotlights on the ceiling, if not more. This was the “Cornucopia” Bai Shuhua had mentioned, the physical factory area. Inside the spacious and bright factory, the floor was divided into several neat zones.
“My R&D lab is over here.” Bai Shuhua set aside her usual playful smile and seriously guided Shen Xiaojiang into an area.
A massive mechanical arm came into view, and Shen Xiaojiang was stunned. Although she had seen PowerPoints and videos during her numerical control programming classes, the sense of belonging was particularly strong when witnessing it in person. Imagine entering the code you wrote yourself to make this cold, giant machine move and follow your every command… it was simply too cool.
“Um, can I touch her?” she asked.
Hearing this, everyone looked at Shen Xiaojiang. Bai Shuhua leaned toward Shen Xiaojiang’s ear and whispered, “Not only can you touch her, you can play with her however you like.”
That sounded a bit strange.
Shen Xiaojiang pulled away from Bai Shuhua and didn’t respond. Bai Shuhua narrowed her eyes: “Student Shen, come on, I’m just joking.” Fearing Xiaojiang might be upset, she added, “Really, I’m just kidding.”
After saying that, she turned back to her tasks. Shen Xiaojiang walked up to the “big guy,” slowly raising her hand. Her fingertips lightly brushed the cold surface, stopping near the English brand logo, slowly tracing over the white letters. A different kind of emotion stirred in her heart.
The primary operator went to the control room and typed in the basic code. At that moment, the mechanical arm began to move bit by bit. Shen Xiaojiang took the electronic goggles handed to her by someone else; after putting them on, she tracked the movements of the mechanical arm.
In less than a minute, the “big guy” suddenly stopped. The person in the control room looked troubled it seemed it still wasn’t working.
Shen Xiaojiang clenched her fists and walked up to him. “How about letting me try?”
Thinking of her help earlier, the man didn’t immediately refuse. He looked at Bai Shuhua, and after she nodded, he handed control over to Shen Xiaojiang.
Shen Xiaojiang stared at the screen for a long time, thinking. She didn’t rush to type in the code she had researched. Outside the control room, the others were nervous and worried.
“Does she really know what she’s doing?” “Yeah, don’t let her break this gold mine.” “Sigh, forget it, maybe I should try again…”
Bai Shuhua coughed loudly. “You didn’t exactly make anything happen in there just now either.”
The two fell silent, both looking anxiously toward the control room.
The control room was quiet. All the clutter was gone, leaving only a console, two massive mainframes, and two even larger monitors. Shen Xiaojiang pursed her lips, carefully recalling what she had read in books and the content of her years of study and practice.
In the final moment, she thought of Chen Yi’s words: “You can choose not to climb a mountain your whole life, but you must have a mountain in your heart.” Only by constantly climbing and surmounting can you see a broader world.
She clenched her fists tight, then relaxed them softly, placing her fingertips on the keyboard. After taking a deep breath, she focused entirely. Those codes were products of her mind, she didn’t even need to think they poured out of her like a flood.
The people waiting anxiously outside had no idea what Shen Xiaojiang was doing; they only saw her alternating between deep thought and fierce typing. The mechanical arm remained motionless for a long time, but after Shen Xiaojiang hit the final “Enter” key, “she” came to life.
The data on everyone’s electronic goggles had been completely stagnant, but after a 0.01-second switch, the data on the goggles and the monitors began to flow rapidly like crazy. The sequence of movements was smooth as flowing water; every instruction completed by the mechanical arm was precise and flawless.
Everyone, including Bai Shuhua, was dumbstruck. They didn’t dare move, speak, or even blink or breathe.
The moment she stopped the stopwatch, Bai Shuhua almost burst into tears. 1 minute and 3 seconds. 1 minute and 3 seconds!
This terrifying number directly broke the fastest record for the 3.0 version in the European and American markets and came close to breaking 4.0. The other two people hugged each other in disbelief.
“We did it! President Bai, we succeeded!” they cried.
Bai Shuhua didn’t look at them, suppressing her excitement: “No, she helped us succeed.”
Shen Xiaojiang wasn’t finished. She was typing seriously on the keyboard with a hand speed that was breathtaking. The initial code she wrote surpassed the current 2.0 in Nancheng, surpassed the existing 3.0 in the West, and was approaching 4.0. The quality of great code isn’t about length or precision, but the speed of its algorithm. If someone else takes 30 seconds and you only need 3, you win.
“This Shen Xiaojiang is truly incredible. Is she really just a sophomore?” someone asked.
“Correction: a rising junior,” Bai Shuhua said with a satisfied look.
“It’s a pity she’s not on our team,” another said.
Bai Shuhua lifted her chin, her tone firm and undeniable: “Give her time to think. As long as she’s ready and willing, there will always be a place for her on my team.”
