CHAPTER 1816: CHAPTER 951: METAVERSE COMPUTER CONTEST (PART 2)

"Okay."

An Yujia appeared quite calm; since the timing was unfortunate, it was definitely necessary to wait for Director Qi Chunsheng to finish reporting his work before speaking. After all, things need to be handled one at a time, in an orderly manner. This was Principal Ding’s style, and it was also An Yujia’s style.

"Please continue, Director Qi."

Ding Yue looked at Director Qi Chunsheng and said.

"Yes, yes."

Director Qi Chunsheng nodded, then continued to report on the teaching work at Mist City Arts and Science University: "This year, aside from striving for a Double First-Class status, there are other significant matters. For instance, this semester, there is an overseas so-called Metaverse Computer Contest. It is hosted by several high-tech companies overseas and in collaboration with many universities, such as Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Nanyang Technological University, University of Chicago, and Harvard University. We consider this competition very important. Therefore, shouldn’t our Computer Science Department participate?"

This year, there is finally a competition.

Mist City Arts and Science University has been quietly developing itself over the past few years, and it has indeed participated in few international competitions. This time, the Metaverse Computer Contest is truly a good opportunity.

"So, does Director Xu know about this matter?"

Ding Yue asked.

"Director Xu has been very busy recently, so I am not sure if he knows about it."

Director Qi Chunsheng shook his head and said.

"It’s fine. I’ll talk to Director Xu. If we win the championship in the Metaverse Computer Contest, does that mean our Computer Science Department at Mist City Arts and Science University will become the top computer science department globally?"

Ding Yue asked.

"Naturally, this is a top-tier event involving global universities."

Director Qi Chunsheng affirmed with a nod.

"Then it’s settled. We must participate."

Ding Yue said without hesitation.

Is there anything to consider?

Although Mist City Arts and Science University’s Computer Science Department is quite impressive, it has not yet reached global dominance. This Metaverse Computer Contest is a great opportunity to provide Xu Bin and the others with a stage to elevate Mist City Arts and Science University’s Computer Science Department to a world-class level.

In this way, Mist City Arts and Science University is beginning to step onto the world stage.

With that said,

Ding Yue took out his phone and called Xu Bin directly.

However,

The call went through, but no one answered.

Ding Yue guessed that Bin might be busy with something; either he is with his girlfriend doing whatever, or he is leading his team of computer geniuses in some research with his phone not by his side.

"Big White, connect to all computer research labs for Director Xu."

Ding Yue immediately instructed his AI robot, Big White.

Have Big White directly access the systems of various computer research labs so that Xu Bin can be notified. Of course, the premise is that Xu Bin is not doing something with his girlfriend but is in the computer lab.

"Okay, Principal."

Big White responded.

Then, through its system, it accessed the computer research labs of the Computer Science Department at Mist City Arts and Science University, and indeed, in one of the labs, it contacted Director Xu Bin.

"Big White, are you looking for me?"

After establishing contact, Xu Bin asked.

"The Principal is looking for you."

Big White responded.

"Oh, got it, I’ll come over in a bit."

About ten minutes later, Xu Bin’s figure appeared at the entrance of the Principal’s office.

"Principal, were you looking for me?"

Upon arrival, Xu Bin saw Director Qi Chunsheng and Miss An Yujia were also there. He originally wanted to address Yue, but he changed it to Principal.

"Sit down, Director Xu. Didn’t Director Qi Chunsheng come to report on the teaching work? He mentioned an international competition related to your Computer Science Department. Have you heard about it?"

Ding Yue briefly explained why he had called Xu Bin over.

"A world computer contest? Which contest?"

Xu Bin shook his head and asked.

Recently, Xu Bin has been leading the latest batch of students in computer-related research, mainly in software. After all, regarding hardware, only when the 3nm chip is produced can complementary research be conducted.

"Director Xu, it’s the Metaverse Computer International Competition."

Director Qi Chunsheng said to Director Xu.

"Oh, oh, oh, it’s that competition. I remember now. It seemed like some company from a few years back, yes, yes, it was the one dealing with Facebook. They wanted to create a Metaverse-related competition and said they wanted to involve various tech companies and universities. But it hadn’t happened for the past few years, and I thought the competition was going to be canceled. I didn’t expect it to start this year?"

Xu Bin instantly remembered.

Previously, Xu Bin had indeed paid attention to this Metaverse-related computer competition and even thought of representing Mist City Arts and Science University in the competition to showcase its strength.

It seems there was some issue during the process, and it was never initiated.

"Yes, that’s the one."

Director Qi Chunsheng quickly nodded.

Then Ding Yue looked at Xu Bin and asked, "So, Director Xu, what do you think? Will you lead the team to participate?"

"Principal Ding, do you think our Mist City Arts and Science University should participate?"

Xu Bin countered.

"My personal opinion is definitely to participate if we can. After all, this is a world competition. If we can take the lead in this competition, then our Computer Science Department at Mist City Arts and Science University will be the world’s top. Then it would be hard for foreigners not to acknowledge it."

Ding Yue’s meaning was clear.

To make Mist City Arts and Science University’s Computer Science Department the most outstanding globally, it’s best to participate in this competition and win the championship!

"Since Principal Ding puts it that way, of course I’ll lead the team."

Xu Bin shrugged and said with a smile.

Actually, even without Ding Yue saying so, Xu Bin would lead the team. Even if he didn’t want to waste time, the excellent students under his Computer Science Department certainly would want to go.

After all, not everyone is at Xu Bin’s technical level, so taking the top students from Mist City Arts and Science University’s Computer Science Department to participate in this competition is very meaningful.

Moreover, just like Yue said, after participating in this Metaverse Computer International Competition, the reputation and status of Mist City Arts and Science University’s Computer Science Department internationally will naturally rise.

If they can win the championship, then it’s even more remarkable. They will undoubtedly gain a reputation for having world-class computer science expertise.

However, because of this, it is foreseeable that the competition at this Metaverse Computer International Competition will certainly be intense. Harvard, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Nanyang Technological University, University of Chicago—each of these universities is renowned and incredibly strong!

Breaking through in such a crowd of top universities would undoubtedly be a thrilling experience.

"Great."

Seeing that Xu Bin also agreed to lead the team, Ding Yue was very satisfied and smiled as he said to Director Qi Chunsheng, "Director Qi, then let’s sign up for the Metaverse Computer International Competition on behalf of our Computer Science Department at Mist City Arts and Science University. Are there any registration requirements?"

"There are no actual registration requirements, but a project needs to be submitted for the preliminary round. Only after passing the preliminary round can one qualify to participate on-site."

Director Qi Chunsheng explained some rules of the Metaverse Computer International Competition.

This is understandable.

After all, the Metaverse Computer International Competition is such a prestigious event, targeting universities and computer teams worldwide. The number of registered teams must be extensive.

As such, naturally, a preliminary round is needed to filter the participating teams.

"No problem."

Xu Bin was still very confident, saying that randomly choosing a project from Mist City Arts and Science University’s Computer Science Department for the preliminary round would easily pass.
