I'm back in 1990

Chapter 1143: Are you two relatives?

Hu Zhidong came in from outside, bringing Huang Zeji a cup of coffee.

Huang Zeji accepted the coffee, said thank you, and then continued looking at the computer screen, where the minicomputer was running a new algorithm program.

Seeing that there was nothing else to do, Huang Ze asked Hu Zhidong for advice: "Teacher Hu, when I was doing multi-camera image fusion, there were always some color differences and distortions at the edges. I tried to adjust them using several different compensation algorithms, but the results were not very good."

Hu Zhidong leaned closer to the computer screen Huang Zeji had mentioned, looked at the code, and after a moment of contemplation, said, "Have you considered using optical flow for pixel-level registration? Traditional feature point matching is indeed prone to problems in areas with limited image texture."

Huang Zeji suddenly realized that it wasn't that he couldn't think of it, but he had gotten himself stuck on a dead end. After Hu Zhidong's explanation, he immediately understood.

"I had thought of optical flow before, but considering the huge computational power required, its real-time performance would be quite poor."

Hu Zhidong continued to advise: "Put the immediate issues aside for now; they are not your primary goal at this stage."

Huang Ze nodded: "Indeed, not yet. First, we need to develop the algorithm. Real-time optimization is the next stage of our work."

Hu Zhidong patted Huang Zeji on the shoulder: "That's right. First, solve the problem of whether we have it or not, then solve the problem of whether it's good or not."

He then added, "If your project succeeds, it will be a major breakthrough in the field of computer vision. If you can seamlessly integrate your project, its commercial value will be enormous."

Huang Ze nodded and continued to check the progress of the code he was running.

Hu Zhidong looked at it for a while, and when he had almost finished his coffee, he asked again, "By the way, how's your patent coming along?"

Huang Ze finished the rest of his coffee in one gulp and said, "It's in progress. The legal department will handle the specific details. I'll just cooperate."

Hu Zhidong nodded, thinking to himself, "These are definitely children from wealthy families. The kind of help these families can provide is something other families simply can't."

More than a week later, on the afternoon of the day the military training ended, Huang Zeji's phone rang. It was the girl from that day calling, apparently to collect a debt.

"Hello, who is this?"

"It's me, Ouya, the one who brought you money the other day. You still owe me a coffee, right? You haven't forgotten, have you?"

How could Huang Zeji forget? He didn't have much interaction with girls to begin with, so his impression of Ou Ya was very deep: "I haven't forgotten. Then tell me the time and place!"

"Then let's do it now. I know a nice coffee shop outside the North Gate. I'll wait for you there." After saying that, Ou Ya hung up the phone.

Huang Zeji had nothing to do at the moment, so he casually headed towards the North Gate.

Twenty minutes later, he appeared at the entrance of the coffee shop. Ou Ya was already sitting inside and kept waving at him when she saw him.

Before even sitting down, Huang Zeji asked, "What would you like to drink? It's on me."

Ou Ya didn't stand on ceremony: "Latte, thank you!"

Huang Ze ordered two lattes and then looked out the window, showing no intention of chatting with Ou Ya.

Unfortunately, Ou Ya is a socially-minded person. Since you're not going to take the initiative, then you should take the initiative yourself.

She asked directly, "I'm really curious, what exactly is your relationship with my next-door neighbor, Zeng Wentian?"

Huang Zeji's expression changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure: "I think I only agreed to buy you a cup of coffee, I didn't say I would answer any of your questions, and don't you think you've overstepped your bounds a bit?"

Unfortunately, Ou Ya didn't seem to care at all and continued, "I know my question is a bit abrupt, and you have no obligation to answer me, but you two clearly know each other. Why don't you just return the money to him directly, and instead make me act as the middleman? Don't you find that strange?"

After listening, Huang Zeji remained silent for a while, then said, "I'm sorry, these things seem to have nothing to do with you."

Unfortunately, he underestimated Ou Ya's shamelessness: "You two are related, right?"

Just then, the coffee arrived. Huang Zeji picked up the cup in front of him, took a sip, and didn't answer at all.

But Ou Ya was still talking to herself: "So you're friends? No, how could friends be like you two? It's mainly because you two look very alike, both in build and appearance. And Zeng Wentian himself said that his father is in Shanghai, and you are also from Shanghai, so I think you two should be brothers."

Huang Zeji's hand trembled slightly, a movement that Ou Ya noticed, and she was basically certain of what had happened.

"You two must be brothers, then you..."

Before she could finish speaking, Huang Zeji stood up and walked outside. After taking a couple of steps, he turned back because he hadn't paid the bill yet.

After paying, Huang Zeji said to Ou Ya, "I came here today to treat you to coffee. Now that we've had our coffee, we're even."

After saying that, he left without looking back.

That evening, all four people in dormitory 505 were there.

Tengger lay sprawled on the bed, feeling as if he had shed a layer of skin during the military training.

Lying on the bed, he said weakly, "Huang Zeji! Huang Zeji! You have it so easy! No military training, and you can even work on projects with professors. Look at the three of us! Especially me, my skin is already dark, if you threw me into a coal pile, you wouldn't be able to find me."

Song Cheng chimed in, "Yeah, our instructor is too strict. We have to stand at attention for an hour straight. My legs are about to break."

While pounding his thigh, Gao Yuzhou asked, "Huang Zeji, what kind of project are you involved in? Just give us a little bit, and we promise we won't tell anyone."

After thinking for a moment, Huang Zeji said, "It's just an image processing software."

Tenggerli, however, showed little interest. He waved his hand and said, "Huang Zeji, since we've worked so hard, why don't you treat us to a meal? Look at you, and then look at us. The three of us desperately need a good meal to replenish the energy we've lost."

Huang Zeji readily agreed to the request: "No problem, how about tomorrow night? I'll treat you to a big meal tomorrow night."

Upon hearing this, Tenggerli immediately perked up and jumped off the bed.

The other two were also very happy, but Gao Yuzhou asked, "By the way, Xu Li from our class said she saw you with a girl at the coffee shop outside the North Gate this afternoon. Who was she? Your girlfriend?"

Huang Zeji immediately denied it, saying, "No, she did me a favor, so I bought her a cup of coffee to express my gratitude."

But none of the three believed it, and Song Cheng grinned mischievously: "Alright, stop pretending, it's true, having a girlfriend is a good thing."

Huang Zeji felt he couldn't explain things to his three roommates, so he made an excuse about having something to do on a project and left.
