Actually, it's not an especially exaggerated technology. A database is like a lake, and there are many kinds of creatures in the lake, each with different levels of importance. What Grace Bennett does is to grade the database, and then, according to the grade, define different weights.

Of course, this involves basic artificial intelligence technology. As for the AI part, Grace Bennett won't talk about it—at most, he'll discuss the principles and ideas.

Sergeant and the others were all shocked after hearing Grace Bennett's introduction.

Even putting aside the technical factors, Grace Bennett's approach follows the pluralistic laws of extraterrestrial civilizations, defining complex, advanced weights for the database from several aspects. It's like a spider weaving a web—writing the code is rather troublesome, but once it's in use, the efficiency can be greatly improved.

“In this way, although it's more troublesome for the programmer, the clients using this database can get the results they want at the fastest speed, right away!” Samuel Thompson's eyes lit up as he spoke.

Grace Bennett nodded, “That's right. I'm currently writing a backend search program for a service-oriented website. To improve search efficiency, I have to define multiple cross-type search libraries. Doing it this way is really quite exhausting. I just hope the users of this program will like it, otherwise it would really not be worth the effort.”

Once the conversation started, it became hard to stop. From weights in the database, they moved on to fuzzy keyword sorting, and finally to compression handling for excessive database expansion.

Sergeant and Grace Bennett chatted happily. Gradually, he had already forgotten Grace Bennett's age and started treating him as a peer, even blurting out and calling him Brother Bennett several times.

Meanwhile, Sergeant's student Samuel Thompson had been observing from the side the whole time, his gaze growing more and more intense.

Of course, Samuel Thompson knew what kind of status his teacher held in academia. He had only two words to describe his conclusion about Grace Bennett: terrifying!

There aren't many people who can truly impress his teacher. The future of this young man before him is probably limitless—after all, he's only nineteen.

Grace Bennett felt a bit embarrassed. “Honestly, my skills are really limited, and I haven't done anything special. You guys don't need to be so surprised.”

To Grace Bennett, he really hadn't done anything remarkable. After all, he possessed the knowledge and data of a universe-level civilization.

At this stage, Grace Bennett was still learning and digesting new knowledge. It's not enough to just store knowledge in his brain—he also needed to fully master and integrate it.

Moreover, there was a constant ticking sound in his ears; the data transmission was far from over.

The knowledge accumulated by that cosmic civilization was simply too vast. Who knows how long it would take to finish transmitting? To fully master the civilization's legacy, Grace Bennett still had a long way to go.

“Teacher Bennett, although as scholars we shouldn't be too arrogant, we also shouldn't belittle ourselves.”

“With your current level, you could easily rank among the very top in your field. I'm confident about that—I'm definitely not just flattering you.”

Nani!?

Grace Bennett was startled again. Sergeant was no longer calling him Brother Bennett, but had switched to Teacher Bennett. He was probably treating Grace Bennett as an academic heavyweight now.

“Today has truly been an eye-opener,” Sergeant said excitedly. “It's a pity the train has already arrived at Suzhou and will soon reach the final stop. Otherwise, if we had more time, I would definitely want to have a detailed discussion with Teacher Bennett about your ideas in the field of artificial intelligence.”

“I wonder when Teacher Bennett might have time to visit Fudan University as a guest? I could gather all my colleagues and students, and we could have a great exchange.”

Grace Bennett quickly waved his hand.

He thought to himself, So you guys are from Fudan University? That's quite a prestigious school.

But as for an exchange, maybe not. I'm really busy right now, busy starting a business and making money. Besides, what I'm learning is probably quite different from what you guys are studying.

“Sorry, my schedule is pretty full. I probably won't be able to make time anytime soon,” Grace Bennett said.

“If it's inconvenient to come to Fudan, we can go to Donghai University to find you! No matter what, we have to exchange contact information.”

Sergeant seemed to have found a treasure and refused to let go no matter what.

The more enthusiastic the teacher was, the more uncomfortable his student Laura White felt. They were all young people, but the gap was just too big. The way the teacher was acting now, it was like he was begging to get close to Grace Bennett—it was really embarrassing.

Her eyes turned, and Laura White got an idea.

“Teacher, don't you have a big project in the field of artificial intelligence recently? Since Grace Bennett is so talented, maybe he could help. If it succeeds, the research reward would be tens of millions!”

“A reward? Tens of millions?”

Grace Bennett's ears immediately perked up. He hadn't caught much else, but he heard every word about a reward of tens of millions.

Although he had made some money with the Eye of the Sky, compared to the grand dream of the sea of stars, that amount was really nothing.

“Right, how could I have forgotten about this!”

Sergeant slapped his forehead, opened his laptop, and showed Grace Bennett a project description. “This is the project. Huawei commissioned our lab to do it. If we succeed, they're willing to pay a large R&D fee.”

Grace Bennett looked over the project description and frowned slightly. “Huawei wants a smartphone assistant?”
