City: Become a principal from junior college!

Mo Wen has always been dissatisfied with the traffic conditions in Honggutan District of Tianhai City.

Because it’s really congested.

There will be traffic jams during rush hours in the morning and evening.

There will be traffic jams during holidays.

The streets next to the mall are also congested.

There are traffic jams everywhere.

In Mo Wen's opinion, there are many areas that can be improved in Tianhai City's transportation.

For example, traffic lights.

During rush hour, many streets are mostly filled with straight-moving vehicles, 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 is no car in the left or right lanes.

But you have to wait until the traffic lights on the left and right lanes finish counting before the lights change.

Therefore, Mo Wen is very much looking forward to the Xingchen Intelligent Transportation System.

Even if it is just a traffic light as rumored by the outside world, it is still very useful.

At least you can save several minutes of waiting at traffic lights.

Mo Wen feels that road rage is becoming more and more common nowadays, and no driver is willing to give way to others.

It's also because of this.

If you are not careful, you will have to wait for several red lights and waste ten minutes or so.

Who would be happy?

If the road is clear, giving way will only slow you down for 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 can feel that my wife is somewhat dissatisfied with me and is being hot and cold.

Sometimes I am particularly passionate about myself.

Sometimes I feel particularly 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 going home, my wife will clean the house and take a shower in advance.

I washed all my clothes before going home.

So his wife just has a bad temper, and Mo Wen doesn’t mind it that much.

Mo Wen's attention is more focused on the commute to and from get off work.

Because if you observe carefully, you can always find some changes.

For example, there were no cameras on a certain road in the morning, but when I returned home in the afternoon, I found that a row of cameras had been installed.

Another example is the location of traffic lights. On many streets, there is an LED sign above or below the traffic lights.

Mo Wen also encountered an intersection where the traffic light was out and a group of workers were working on something at the traffic light.

There is a mobile traffic light in the middle of the intersection, and traffic police are on duty.

It is said that these are all related to the intelligent transportation system of Star Academy.

For example, in the group, colleagues in the company are discussing these things, and they are curious about what Xingchen Academy’s intelligent transportation system can do for Honggutan’s transportation.

What changes will it bring...

In the blink of an eye, more than half a month has passed.

After lunch break, Mo Wen was spinning a flute in his hands.

Half a year ago he fell in love with playing the flute.

I often slack off at work and watch teaching videos on this broken website.

Now I can play some simple tunes.

Unfortunately, my wife is not interested.

As he was thinking about it, Mo Wen opened the group chat and found the information shared by his colleagues.

This is a statement released by the Tianhai Municipal Transportation Bureau’s official account.

"The Xingchen Intelligent Transportation System has been deployed ahead of schedule and testing has been completed."

"It will be officially launched at 4 o'clock this afternoon."

"If citizens travel in Honggutan District and find that there is a problem with the traffic lights, or your travel is inconvenienced by the intelligent transportation system."

"Please be sure to call the traffic police as soon as possible to provide feedback, and we will handle it immediately."

"..."

Mo Wen did not have the patience to read the entire public article.

But Mo Wen has already paid attention to the information he wants to know most.

The intelligent transportation system of Xingchen Academy had actually been deployed in advance and started running in the afternoon.

This gave Mo Wen a feeling of anticipation.

As a native of Tianhai City, I now have different expectations for Xingchen Academy.

Because Star Academy has changed their lives so much.

In the past, although Tianhai City was the provincial capital, it could only be considered a low-end second-tier city.

Since the reopening of Star Academy.

Tianhai City began to take off.

There are more tourists, more companies, more jobs, and most importantly, better salaries.

In the past, most college students in Tianhai City would not stay.

Because there are no good jobs to be found locally.

But now it is different. 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 housing prices are falling across the country.

Tianhai City, however, bucked the trend and rose.

Although this is related to the fact that housing prices in Tianhai City are not high, and are even not as high as in most counties in Zhejiang Province.

But it is also related to the development speed of Tianhai City.

It can be said that everyone in Tianhai City can feel the benefits brought by Xingchen Academy.

Naturally, they have higher expectations for Star Academy.

The same is true for Mo Wen.

In fact, because Mo Wen lives in Honggutan, he is more looking forward to the artificial intelligence of Xingchen Academy being truly effective than others.

This time in the afternoon.

Mo Wen couldn't contain his curiosity and wanted to go driving for a try.

It’s like when I was in college and bought a new phone and had it sent to Cainiao Station, and I couldn’t wait to pick it up and open it.

After work in the afternoon, Mo Wen got up and planned to go downstairs and go home.

When a colleague saw Mo Wen taking the elevator with him, he was a little surprised: "Are you not going to work out today?"

Mo Wen smiled faintly: "I'll take a day off, so I can go and see how the intelligent transportation system works."

Hearing this, my colleague nodded and said, "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 Spring Festival this year, it won't be as congested as last year."

"There must be something special about the Star Academy."

Mo Wen smiled, said goodbye to his colleagues, and drove home.

Mo Wen works in another district, so he needs to take the expressway first, and then get off the expressway when he reaches Honggutan.

However, what Mo Wen did not expect was that because he did not exercise today, he now even had difficulty walking fast.

There was still a traffic jam at the first intersection after getting off the expressway.

From the intersection, the traffic is blocked all the way to the fork in the expressway.

This made Mo Wen's mouth twitch in the traffic.

During the peak period at 6:30, there is indeed more gambling than at 7 o'clock.

But didn’t the Xingchen Intelligent Transportation System officially start operating today?
Why is it still so congested?
Is it really useless?

But Mo Wen thought it was impossible.

How could something from Star Academy be useless?

Mo Wen guessed that it might be the time when people get off work, and office workers from other districts are all returning to Honggutan. There are too many cars, and this intersection must be congested. Even if a god came, it would be useless.

Maybe it will be better if we go inside.

After being stuck in traffic on the expressway for fifteen minutes, Mo Wen finally managed to pass the first intersection.

However, the next intersection was still congested.

The traffic was still congested after turning the corner. At a glance, there were cars everywhere.

It feels like there is no difference from before. The places that should be blocked are still blocked.

The traffic light still looks mentally retarded and doesn't seem to be getting any smarter.

The LED sign installed under the traffic light is still black.

Not lit.

When Mo Wen finally returned to the community after much 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.

The traffic jam at Honggutan alone lasted for one hour and ten minutes.

You have to know that I usually go home after working out at 7 o'clock, and I will be home at 8 o'clock.

So if I set out an hour earlier, I would arrive twenty minutes earlier.

This is too much of a loss.

Anyway, Mo Wen felt that the traffic congestion in Honggutan had not changed at all.

The Xingchen Intelligent Transportation System doesn’t seem to be of any use either.

This made Mo Wen a little disappointed.

"Could it be that it's the first day and the system hasn't officially started running yet? After all, it's normal to have bugs that need to be debugged when it first goes online."

Mo Wen himself is engaged in product research and development.

It is normal for a product to have some problems when it is first launched.

So Mo Wen thought that it might be fine in two days.

But I went home early today, 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 the door opening startled my wife.

I saw my wife just came out of the bathroom after taking a shower. She was a little surprised to see Mo Wen: "Why did you come back so early today?"

Mo Wen looked at the turned on air purifier and the faint smell of smoke in the air, and frowned slightly.

But Mo Wen didn't think much about it because his home was on the second floor.

Sometimes when someone smokes 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 married couple, and you are still talking about this. Now that you are back, go take a shower quickly. I can clean up the room."

Mo Wen looked at his wife who had just finished taking a shower and wanted to do something.

But as soon as he stretched out his hand, he was slapped back: "I'm not feeling well today, it's inconvenient..."

Mo Wen suddenly felt a little bored.

My wife is always like this, hot and cold, unpredictable.

The reason may be that I am too busy with work and don’t care enough about my wife.

After the Chinese New Year, I will take a vacation and go on a trip abroad with my wife.

……

the next day.

When Mo Wen arrived at the company, he found that his colleagues were already discussing the traffic conditions in Honggutan yesterday.

The traffic in Honggutan yesterday was not any better than usual.

It's worse.

Mainly because people from other districts also want to experience it, so many of them drive to Honggutan after work and have a meal at Honggutan.

This has led to even greater congestion at Honggutan.

The Xingchen Intelligent Transportation System doesn't seem to have any effect.

For a time, the local group chat in Tianhai City was filled with discussions about Xingchen Intelligent Transportation.

I suspect there is something wrong with it, or it is simply useless.

The outside world also pays special attention to Star Academy.

There was news that evening.

The entry "Xingchen Intelligent Transportation System is useless" even became a hot search.

The whole internet is talking about it.

"It's completely useless. The traffic jam lasted as long as usual and it lasted as long as yesterday afternoon."

"Not only is it useless, I feel the traffic is even worse. It usually takes me 40 minutes to get home, but it took me 50 minutes yesterday."

"Isn't the artificial intelligence of Star Academy just a gimmick?"

"I am from Honggutan. I carefully observed the traffic lights yesterday and found that there was no difference from the usual sequence. It seemed that the lights did not even have the function of being able to only turn red and green."

"Sure enough, you might be able to do something in your sophomore year for other majors, but for a high-tech subject like artificial intelligence, your sophomore year is not enough. I shouldn't have expected anything at all."

"..."

For a time, many disappointed and pessimistic comments appeared on the Internet.

Although most netizens still think that this is just the beginning and there is no need to rush.

However, many self-media have begun to publicize that the first failure of Xingchen Academy has finally arrived.

Mo Wen watched these discussions and felt that there was no need to rush.

After all, it has only been online for one day.

On this day, Mo Wen returned to his usual habit, exercising and returning home at seven o'clock.

But on the way home, Mo Wen found that there was still some traffic jam.

No difference from usual days.

The newly installed LED light sign under the traffic light was not lit either.

If I hadn’t seen the indicator light on the newly installed camera.

Mo Wen even suspected that some of the Xingchen students had forgotten to turn on the computer.

Is this intelligent transportation system useful?

Mo Wen couldn't help but feel a little suspicious.

……

And on the third day, everything was still the same.

Now, there are more and more discussions on the Internet about the failure of Star Academy.

After all, it's been three days?
How come it's of no use at all?

Even Mo Wen was wondering if Xingchen students really didn't do well this time.

However, it may be that the discussion about the failure of Star Academy was too heated.

Although Star Academy did not respond.

But students majoring in artificial intelligence can't sit still.

After all, our own Star Academy has never had any failures in any major.

It's impossible that they would fail directly when it comes 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 raised by netizens.

He wrote a long article to explain netizens' doubts.

Then after applying, I posted it on the college’s official account.

"Hello everyone, we are all students majoring in artificial intelligence at Xingchen."

"In response to everyone's questions, we offer the following explanations."

"First of all, the intelligent transportation system has officially started to operate, but it is still in the stage of observing, collecting and processing traffic information."

"At this stage, the city's traffic lights will remain the same as before and there will be no changes."

"According to the system message, the observation period will last for five days."

“However, since this is a testing phase and the first real-world scenario test, we cannot fully confirm when the observation period will end.”

"But when the observation period is over, that's when the intelligent transportation system will really start regulating traffic."

“Secondly, the intelligent transportation system has the function of intelligent traffic lights.”

"During the observation period, the smart traffic light function can be turned on to adjust the traffic lights."

"But after our observation and consideration, we found that simply adjusting the traffic lights according to the situation at the intersection may cause the traffic to arrive at the next congested intersection in advance..."

“It makes the congestion even worse.”

“Smart traffic lights should be coordinated 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 student's long explanation was released, it was seen by countless netizens.

After seeing this, Mo Wen nodded in sudden realization.

It turns out that he is still in the observation period!
Xingchen Academy, it turns out that it won't fail so easily. (End of this chapter)
