Chapter 538: Xingchen Academy Finally Crashed?
Mo Wen has always been dissatisfied with the traffic conditions in Honggutan District, Tianhai City.
Because it's really too congested.
Traffic jams occur during morning and evening rush hours.
Traffic jams during holidays.
There are also traffic jams on the streets next to the mall.
There are literally traffic jams everywhere.
In Mo Wen's view, there are many areas for improvement in Tianhai City's transportation.
For example, traffic lights.
During peak hours, many streets are mostly filled with straight traffic, and there are almost no cars in the left turn lane.
But every time I have to wait at least half a minute for the red light to turn left to end.
Sometimes there are no cars in the left and right lanes.
But you have to wait for the traffic light countdown in the left and right lanes to end before the lights change.
Therefore, Mo Wen is very much looking forward to the Xingchen Intelligent Transportation System.
Even if it is only a traffic light that is rumored by the outside world, it is of great use.
At least it saves me a few minutes of waiting at traffic lights.
Mo Wen feels that road rage is becoming more and more common nowadays, and drivers are reluctant to give way to anyone.
It's also because of this.
If you are not careful, you will have to wait for several more red lights and waste an extra ten minutes.
Who would be happy?
If the road is clear, the delay is only a few seconds.
Then no one will mind.
…
The following days.
Mo Wen lives a normal life every day.
The company is actually pretty good.
The fitness experience is also very good.
I just feel that my wife is a little dissatisfied with me, hot and cold.
Sometimes I am very passionate about myself.
Sometimes I feel very disgusted.
But Mo Wen didn’t think much about it, isn’t that what women are like?
Besides, my wife is actually very competent.
Before she goes home, her wife will clean up the house and take a shower in advance.
All clothes were washed in advance before I went home.
So my wife just has a bad temper, and Mo Wen doesn't really mind.
Mo Wen focused more on his commute to and from get off work.
Because as long as you observe carefully, you can always find some changes.
For example, there are no cameras on a certain road in the morning, but when I get home in the afternoon, I find a row of cameras installed.
Another example is the location of traffic lights. On many streets, there is an additional LED sign above or below the traffic lights.
Mo Wen also encountered a certain intersection where the traffic light went out and a group of workers were doing something at the traffic light construction.
Mobile traffic lights are placed in the middle of the intersection, and traffic police are on duty.
It is said that these are related to the intelligent transportation system of Star Academy.
For example, colleagues in the group and company are discussing this. The intelligent transportation system of Curiosity Star Academy can provide transportation to Honggutan.
What changes will it bring...
In the blink of an eye, more than half a month has passed.
After his lunch break, Mo Wen was spinning a flute in his hand.
He fell in love with playing the flute six months ago.
I often catch fish at work and watch the instructional videos on the Xiaopo website.
Now I can play some simple tunes.
Unfortunately, my wife is not interested.
Just as he was thinking about it and opened the group chat, Mo Wen discovered the information shared by his colleagues.
It was a statement released by the Tianhai Municipal Transportation Bureau’s public account.
"The Xingchen Intelligent Transportation System has been deployed in advance and the test has been completed."
"It will be officially launched starting at 4 o'clock this afternoon."
"If citizens are traveling in Honggutan District and find that there is a problem with the traffic lights, or your trip is inconvenient due to the intelligent transportation system."
"Please be sure to call the traffic police hotline to provide feedback as soon as possible, and we will handle it immediately."
"..."
Mo Wen did not have the patience to read through the eloquent public articles.
But Mo Wen had already paid attention to the information he wanted to know most.
The intelligent transportation system of Star College has been deployed in advance and started operating in the afternoon.
This made Mo Wen feel hopeful.
As a person from Tianhai City, everyone now has different expectations for Xingchen College.
Because Star Academy has changed their lives too much.
In the past, although Tianhai City was the provincial capital, it could only be said to be a second-tier city.
Since the re-establishment of Star Academy.
Tianhai City began to take off.
There are more tourists, more companies, more jobs, and most importantly, the salary has also improved.
In the past, most college students in Tianhai City would not stay.
Because there are no good jobs available locally.
But things are different now. A variety of excellent jobs have attracted a large number of college graduates to buy property locally.
It is precisely because of this.
At a time when house prices are falling across the country.
However, Tianhai City unexpectedly bucked the trend and rose.
Although it is related to the fact that housing prices in Tianhai City are not high to begin with, and are not even as high as most counties in Zhejiang Province.
But it also has something to do with the development speed of Tianhai City.
It can be said that everyone in Tianhai City can feel the benefits brought by Xingchen Academy.
Their expectations for Star Academy are naturally higher.
The same goes for Morven.
Even because Mo Wen lives in Honggutan, he expects Star Academy's artificial intelligence to be truly effective more than others.
During the afternoon.
Mo Wen couldn't hold back his curiosity and wanted to drive and experience it immediately.
It's like the feeling when I bought a new mobile phone and sent it to Cainiao Station in college, and I couldn't wait to pick it up and open it.
After work ended in the afternoon, Mo Wen got up directly and planned to go downstairs and go home.
When a colleague saw Mo Wen taking the elevator with him, he was a little surprised: "Aren't you going to work out today?"
Mo Wen smiled faintly: "I'm taking a day off, so I can go and see how the intelligent traffic system works."
Hearing this, the colleague nodded: "I hope the effect can be better. If nothing else, at least when I go to Wanda to buy New Year's goods during the Chinese New Year, there won't be as much traffic as last year."
"The things from Xingchen Academy must be something."
Mo Wen smiled, said goodbye to his colleague, and drove home.
Mo Wen works in other districts, so he needs to get on the expressway first, and then get off the expressway at Honggutan.
However, what Mo Wen didn't expect was that because he didn't work out today, he had a hard time getting off the expressway.
The first intersection after getting off the expressway was still jammed.
From the intersection, it was directly jammed to the fork of the expressway.
This made Mo Wen's mouth twitch in the traffic.
The peak period at 6:30 is indeed more crowded than at 7 o'clock.
But didn't the Xingchen intelligent traffic system officially start running today?
Why is it still so jammed?
Is it useless?
But Mo Wen thought it was impossible.
How could the things from Xingchen Academy be useless?
Mo Wen guessed that it might be the time to get off work, and the office workers from other districts were all going back to Honggutan. There were too many cars, and this intersection must be congested. Even if a god came, it would be useless.
Maybe it would be much better if he went inside.
After being stuck on the expressway for fifteen minutes, Mo Wen finally successfully passed the first intersection.
However, the next intersection was still congested.
It was still congested after turning a corner.
At a glance, there were cars everywhere.
It felt no different from before, and the places that should be congested were still congested.
The traffic lights still looked stupid, and there was no sign of being smart.
And the LED sign installed under the traffic lights was still black.
It did not light up.
When Mo Wen returned to the community with great difficulty, he looked at the time and it was already seven forty.
I got off work at six o'clock, and it took me an hour and forty minutes to get home.
I was stuck in traffic at Honggutan for an hour and ten minutes.
You know, I usually get home after working out at seven o'clock and get home at eight o'clock.
So I left an hour earlier and arrived 20 minutes earlier.
This is too bad.
Anyway, Mo Wen felt that the traffic jam in Honggutan had not changed at all.
The Xingchen Intelligent Transportation System did not seem to be of any use.
This disappointed Mo Wen.
"Could it be that it was the first day and the system had not officially started to operate? After all, it is normal to have bugs that need to be debugged when it is just launched."
Mo Wen himself is engaged in product development.
It is normal for a product to have some problems when it is just launched.
So Mo Wen thought that it might be fine in two days.
But today I went home early, so I had a good chat with my wife.
Mo Wen went upstairs and opened the fingerprint lock to enter the house.
The sound of opening the door startled his wife.
I saw that his wife had just come out of the bathroom after taking a shower and was a little surprised to see Mo Wen: "Why did you come back so early today?"
Mo Wen looked at the air purifier that was turned on and the faint smell of smoke in the air, and frowned slightly.
But Mo Wen did not think much about it, because his home was on the second floor.
Sometimes when someone is smoking downstairs, the smell of smoke will float up from the window.
"It's okay, I just want to go home early to see you today!"
Mo Wen's wife looked at him impatiently and waved her hand: "We are an old couple and still talking about this. Since you are back, go take a shower quickly. I just want to clean up the room."
Mo Wen looked at his wife who had just taken a shower and wanted to do something.
But as soon as he stretched out his hand, he was slapped back: "I am not feeling well today, it is inconvenient..."
Mo Wen suddenly felt a little boring.
My wife is always like this, hot and cold, unpredictable.
It may be that I am too busy at work and don't care enough about my wife.
After the Chinese New Year, I will take a year off and accompany my wife to travel abroad.
...
The next day.
Mo Wen came to the company and found that his colleagues were already discussing the traffic conditions in Honggutan yesterday.
The traffic in Honggutan yesterday was not better than usual.
Instead, it was worse.
Mainly, many people from other districts also want to experience it, so many of them drive to Honggutan after work and have a meal there.
This makes Honggutan even more congested.
The Xingchen Intelligent Transportation System does not seem to have any effect.
For a while, the local group chats in Tianhai City were all about the discussion of Xingchen Intelligent Transportation.
It is suspected that there is a problem or it is useless.
The outside world is also paying special attention to Xingchen Academy.
There was news that night.
The entry "Xingchen Intelligent Transportation System is useless" even became a hot search.
The whole network is hotly discussing it.
"It's useless. The traffic jam lasted as long as it usually does yesterday afternoon."
"Not only is it useless, I feel it's even worse. It usually takes me 40 minutes to get home, but it took me 50 minutes yesterday."
"Is the artificial intelligence of Xingchen Academy just a gimmick?"
"I'm from Honggutan. I carefully observed the traffic lights yesterday and found that there was no difference from the usual order. It seems that it doesn't even have the function of a traffic light."
"Sure enough, other majors may be able to do something in the second year, but artificial intelligence is such a high-tech subject, sophomores are not enough. I shouldn't expect it at all."
"..."
For a time, there were a lot of disappointing and unfavorable comments on the Internet.
Although most netizens still feel that this is just the beginning and there is no need to rush.
But many self-media have begun to publicize that Star Academy’s first overturn has finally arrived.
Mo Wen looked at these discussions and felt that there was no need to be anxious.
After all, it has only been online for one day.
On this day, Mo Wen resumed his usual habit and went home at seven o'clock after working out.
But on the way home, Mo Wen found that there was still some traffic.
No different from usual days.
The newly installed LED light sign under the traffic light did not light up either.
If you can see the indicator light on the newly installed camera.
Mo Wen even wondered if Student Xingchen had forgotten to turn on his phone.
Is this intelligent transportation system useful?
Mo Wen couldn't help but feel a little suspicious.
…
On the third day, it was still business as usual.
Now, there are more and more discussions on the Internet about the overturn of Star Academy.
After all, it’s been three days?
Why is it of no use at all?
Even Mo Wen was guessing whether the Xingchen students really didn't do a good job this time.
But it may be that the discussion about the collapse of Star Academy is too hot.
Although Star Academy did not respond.
But students majoring in artificial intelligence can’t sit still.
After all, at Xingchen Academy, all majors have never failed.
You can't just fall over when you get to their artificial intelligence major, right?
That would be so embarrassing.
So they have to explain.
So students majoring in artificial intelligence collected the main questions that netizens had.
He wrote a long article eloquently to explain the doubts of netizens.
Then after applying, it was posted on the college’s official account.
"Hello everyone, we are all students majoring in artificial intelligence in Xingchen."
"In response to everyone's doubts, we have the following explanation."
"First of all, the intelligent transportation system has officially started operating, but it is still in the stage of observing, collecting, and processing traffic flow information."
"At this stage, urban traffic lights will still maintain their previous patterns and there will be no changes."
"According to system messages, the observation period will last for five days."
"However, since it is a testing phase and the first real-life scenario test, the end time of the observation period cannot be completely confirmed."
"But after the observation period is over, that's when the intelligent transportation system really starts to regulate traffic."
“Secondly, the intelligent transportation system has intelligent traffic light functions.”
"You can turn on the smart traffic light function during the observation period to adjust the traffic lights."
"However, after our observation and consideration, simply regulating traffic lights based on intersection conditions may cause traffic to arrive at the next congested intersection in advance..."
"Making congestion worse."
"Intelligent traffic lights should cooperate with overall traffic flow control to achieve the best results."
"So we didn't activate the feature in advance."
"Finally, thank you for your attention and support. We sincerely hope that our invention can bring convenience to urban transportation..."
As soon as the long explanation written by the student was published, it was seen by countless netizens.
After Mo Wen saw it, he nodded in realization.
It turns out that he is still in the observation period!
Sure enough, Star Academy would not overturn so easily. (End of chapter)
