Chapter 214 The Duck God Has Unleashed His Power Again
That was a resignation letter!
"Once I took over this project, I essentially cut off my own path back to academia."
If we succeed, we'll gain both fame and fortune. But what if we fail...?
Allen pointed to the resignation letter, his eyes reddening.
"No research institution or university would want another madman who causes urban disaster."
The core researcher who messed up this massive public welfare project worth tens of millions of yuan will definitely suffer an even worse fate than the politicians who lose their elections!
Therefore, I have even less reason to lose than you do.
Allen pushed his resignation to the mayor.
Well.
Patrick closed his eyes in pain, pressing his throbbing temples hard with both hands.
The enormous risks and the irresistible political temptations were locked in a fierce battle in his mind.
After a long and painful internal struggle, the old politician finally gritted his teeth and stood up abruptly!
"I need some time to think about it. This is a big deal, and I can't just listen to your side of the story."
Patrick stared intently at Allen.
"I know several leading professors in the field of transportation at Harvard University, and I would like to hear their professional opinions on this matter."
Give me the complete paper on that algorithm, not just this simplistic report meant to fool laymen.
"No problem, as you wish."
Allen smiled slightly and stood up from his chair.
He thought to himself, "This old fox who won't act until he sees the rabbit has taken hold of the hook."
At this very moment, this mayor, who keeps saying he needs to "consider," is probably already rehearsing his inaugural address when he takes office as governor!
"Allen".
Just as Allen turned to leave, Patrick suddenly called out to him.
"What's wrong, Mr. Mayor?" Allen turned around.
"Who exactly is the author of this paper?"
Patrick stared at the Eastern name on the report cover, his gaze extremely complex.
"How could someone like you, a seasoned academic who's always been arrogant and disdainful of everyone, be so captivated that you're like a fanatical believer, even willing to abandon your academic future?"
Allen stood at the doorway, his figure halting.
He pondered for a moment, and the image of a young man in casual clothes carrying a cup of honey water came to mind.
Then, with an extremely solemn expression, Allen gave the highest praise he could ever give in his life, word by word:
"He's nobody special."
He is a super math genius that MIT is now nurturing like its lifeblood and the apple of its eye, sparing no expense and pouring all the resources of the entire university into his upbringing.
I even have an absurd yet real premonition…
Allen paused, then said, enunciating each word clearly:
"In the next twenty years, it will be impossible for Su Hao to succeed alone in a lab at MIT..."
MIT alone is enough to leave Harvard and Stanford, who pride themselves on their profound heritage, far behind and make them look like dust!
Upon hearing this assessment, Patrick's lips twitched violently.
"It's you damned MIT alumni lunatics again..."
Patrick rolled his eyes dramatically in exasperation, waving his hand like he was shooing away a fly, signaling him to get out of his sight.

Title: [Brothers! Come out and see God... the Duck God has struck again!]
The academic media in China haven't even had time to react yet, but the front pages and headlines in the United States are already about to explode!
Brothers, please take a look. This is definitely our family's duck god, right?!
Attached is a raw translation of the original news article; after reading it, I was completely speechless.
[Special front-page edition of The Boston Globe:]
On the 24th of this month, Boston City Hall held an emergency press conference.
It has been officially announced that the "Next Generation Urban Traffic Signal Control Model" developed by the MIT research team has been listed as a project under the highest level of official review!
They started development with an almost preemptive approach, preparing to apply it to the pilot sections along the entire line!
The underlying foundation supporting this massive project is a core algorithm called "self-indicating phase variable".
Its proposer is MIT researcher Hao Su.
This system aims to completely transcend traditional centralized traffic control, giving each intersection's traffic lights the ability to "think independently."
They learn to handle traffic volume and pedestrian flow on their own, and, like a swarm of bees, achieve real-time dynamic phase synchronization with surrounding intersections.
Boston Transportation Authority Deputy Commissioner Alan Smith stated in an interview:
"This model is not about 'controlling' traffic, but about redefining the flow of the city's lifeblood from an almost godlike perspective of 'coordination'!"
This is a revolutionary innovation that fundamentally changes the existing framework of transportation engineering!
He also told the media that the city's resources will be mobilized to carry out comprehensive development and testing in the near future.
In his twenty-minute speech, Boston Mayor Patrick Stewart made no secret of his ambition:
"Boston will embark on an epic collaboration with MIT! This will be humanity's first truly groundbreaking experiment to end urban traffic congestion!"
This politician, usually known for his composure, couldn't hide his excitement as he added to the camera:
"If this project succeeds, Boston will become a pioneer in global transportation systems; we are the future!"
According to a secret source within the municipal government:
The originally conservatively estimated development cycle was compressed to within one year.
By next year at the latest, Boston's first traffic light of the future will be lit up on the streets!
.......]
The school forum crashed completely for three minutes as soon as the post was published.
Everyone exploded!
Waaaaah, it's been 100 days since I missed Duck God! I knew that guy wouldn't stay still once he went to America!
Seeing him dominate academia across the ocean, and even manage to swindle the Boston city government, the brothers were finally completely relieved.
Those self-proclaimed geniuses at MIT, have finally tasted the feeling of being humiliated by an indescribable fear, haven't they?
Before, when we were the only ones getting beaten up domestically, I always felt like I was losing out! Now it feels great!
[Wait... isn't this the same alumnus in the news who insisted the school hold a private farewell ceremony just for him?]
Who else could it be but him! It's that legendary super monster whose very hair exudes an aura of royalty!
Surprisingly, this monster didn't suffer from any culture shock in America; instead, it seemed to be back in its happy old days, its attack frequency... it practically took down Boston!
Those who haven't experienced it simply don't understand! The pain of having to sit in the same exam room as him for midterms and finals back then!
That was the despair of mortals facing the indescribable!
[Just wondering, has he started wreaking havoc on the football scene over there yet?]
Forget about football! This news is causing an earthquake in the global academic community!
Lao Tzu is truly a business genius; I managed to get his autograph in a core journal in advance, hahaha!
This wave is like an initial public offering (IPO) directly ringing the bell on Nasdaq; the price is absolutely going to skyrocket!
