Chapter 218 Swift and Decisive

Just as the Mathematics Research Institute began its examinations under the supervision of artificial intelligence, another meeting was taking place in the administrative building of the university.

The meeting was chaired by Zuo, the vice-chancellor in charge of research.@@@@

Although the secretary and chancellor did not make an appearance, they both had emphasized the importance of this meeting beforehand.

The attendance at the meeting included almost all the heads of the key laboratories within the university. If someone was absent, it was likely due to business trips, and their deputies in attendance were all influential figures within their respective units, which attested to the meeting's high profile.

Even though it was his first time leading a meeting since taking office, and several academicians were in attendance, Zuo Chengzheng did not show any signs of nervousness.

Unlike other vice-chancellors of the university, Zuo Chengzheng was transferred from a high government post. In fact, many of the attendees had met each other in Capital during various meetings and could be considered familiar faces.

"Alright, everyone is here, let's start the meeting. We all know each other, and I'm here to get things done, so I won't waste time with unnecessary talk. Everyone has a document in front of them. Take a look, and then we can discuss," said Zuo Chengzheng succinctly, then picked up his teacup and began sipping tea.

The others, too, had already picked up the prepared materials and started reading.

Soon, the meeting room was filled only with the sounds of sipping tea and turning pages.

Taking advantage of the moment when everyone else focused on the materials, Zuo Chengzheng quietly observed their expressions.

Research funding was finite; more for one side naturally meant less for the other.

Thus, after listening to Zuo Chengzheng's explanation, Luo Zhengyuan was not relieved but instead continued, "I understand, Vice-Chancellor Zuo. Firstly, I candidly admit that, indeed, there is a sense of advocating for our own project. But at the same time, I think my concerns are very valid.

I don't know who the chief designer of this undersea cluster system is, but this concept is undoubtedly too advanced. Multimodal information perception is also being worked on by Xilin University of Technology. The national key laboratory for airborne information perception and fusion in the Electronic Information School has similar projects.

However, to my knowledge, there are many problems, such as feature fusion, heterogeneous data alignment, inconsistent label noise, interpretability, etc., that are urgently needing solutions in airborne multimodal information perception. If we consider underwater conditions, which are even more extreme, the issues multiply.

Let's just consider the basics: underwater perception, navigation, and information transmission are all much more complicated than airborne ones. Not to mention requiring a power system capable of long standby times or anti-corrosion materials that can withstand prolonged sea water erosion, plus the fact that this is about clustering. So, is listing this project directly under the 863 Program being overly optimistic?"

Having patiently listened to Luo Benyuan's question, Zuo Chengzheng smiled and looked around before saying, "You've all heard Professor Luo's question. Does anyone want to help me respond to him?"

No one spoke up, nor did anyone raise their hand.

It wasn't that nobody wanted to engage in a debate with Luo Benyuan.

It was mainly because there was still too little information available at the moment, just a project proposal and the goals that needed to be achieved.

Who would be given the projects, or what qualifications would be needed for the applications, had not been mentioned yet, so naturally, no one wanted to enter into a debate with Luo Benyuan at this point.

Not to mention, Luo Benyuan's points were not without merit.
