Chapter 669: They Actually Want to Make a Big Problem

Listening to the McGill University graduate students in front of him singing the famous opera "Orfeo", which was not very smooth, Zhao Guoyang couldn't help but shake his head secretly.

To be honest, these students can't sing very well, at least a few grades worse than the version that Zhao Guoyang heard in the opera house in his previous life.

The key thing is that what Zhao Guoyang listened to in the opera house was only at the level of the provincial performance team, not the top international level.

One can imagine how amateurish these students sang amateurly.

Although they sing really averagely, their attitude and courage are still very good.

In front of so many people, there is no stage fright at all, they are all generous and full of spirit.

This kind of confidence and optimism unique to young people made Zhao Guoyang appreciate them a little more.

As soon as the song was finished, several young people bowed to the citizens and tourists who were watching the excitement around them, and then took out their hats to ask for a reward.

The quality of these students is very high, and they will bow down and say thank you regardless of whether the people around them give money or not.

Seeing that the performance was over, many of the people around the crowd gradually dispersed, and only a few people took out their wallets and rewarded a few coins.

Catching a glimpse of the students coming to her side, Huo Xiufen couldn't help but remind Zhao Guoyang: "Head Zhao, it's time for us to go......"

Zhao Guoyang didn't seem to hear her words, but just looked at the six polite and energetic young people with interest.

Seeing this, Huo Xiufen helplessly looked at Chang Linda and Duan Ruixiang on the side.

The two of them were also confused, and it was not good to say anything at this time, so they could only stand there motionless and see what would happen.

At this moment, among the six people, the girl led by Zhao Guoyang had already walked in front of Zhao Guoyang.

As soon as she saw the tall, bright-eyed Asian man in front of her, the girl was stunned for a moment.

In Canada, although the number of Asians is small, they are concentrated in major cities such as Ottawa and Vancouver, and it is not surprising to see Asians on the streets.

However, in the mainstream society of Canada, it is generally believed that Asians are relatively boring in life, except for reading books and studying, only work is left.

Few Asians are bored enough to come to Plaza Royal to watch an entertainer, let alone tip.

Therefore, after seeing the Asian man in front of her, the young female student was a little surprised.

Just when she was thinking about whether she wanted to try someone else, Zhao Guoyang had already taken out two 100 Canadian dollar bills from his pocket with a smile and gently put them in the girl's hat.

"Uh...... This is too many, sir!" the blonde schoolgirl couldn't help but say in half-baked English when she saw these two bills.

In Canada, most Asians, or Chinese, speak English.

So whether it's a French-speaking province like Quebec or an English-speaking province like Ontario, people basically use English when they interact with Asians.

Listening to this female student's words, Zhao Guoyang snorted slightly, and said in standard Apennines: "Miss, you're welcome." I would like to ask, are you all graduate students in the School of Mechanical Engineering, and what is this project that you are raising funds for?"

Just now, when Zhao Guoyang was looking at the boxes raised by these graduate students, he caught a glimpse of the words "School of Mechanical Engineering" on it, so he had such a move now.

McGill University's academic standards are unquestionable, and its graduate programs in mechanical engineering, radiation physics, and mineral engineering are among the best in the world.

These students don't seem to be messing around, but are seriously raising funds, which shows that they must be very confident in their own project.

Their actions naturally aroused Zhao Guoyang's interest.

At this time, seeing that Zhao Guoyang could speak Apennine, a burst of surprise crossed the blonde schoolgirl's face.

She replied sincerely: "Sir, you are right, we are graduate students in the School of Mechanical Engineering, and our research topic is the application of unmanned vehicles in daily life. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Guoyang was surprised.

Originally, he thought that the project of these students was just the application and improvement of some mechanical equipment, but he did not expect it to be such a big topic as "unmanned vehicles".

If the research on such a large-scale topic is placed in domestic universities, it is absolutely impossible for a few graduate students to start the research.

For the field of driverless cars, Zhao Guoyang may know much more than all engineers and scientists in the world.

In the era before Zhao Guoyang's rebirth, driverless cars had developed to an astonishing extent.

This technology, which integrates automatic control, architecture, artificial intelligence, visual computing and many other technologies, is the product of the highly developed computer science, pattern recognition and intelligent control technology.

At the same time, this technology is also an important indicator to measure a country's scientific research strength and industrial level, and has broad application prospects in the field of national defense and national economy.

At this time, when he heard that the six young research projects in front of him were actually related to this, Zhao Guoyang certainly would not let them go lightly.

Thinking of this, Zhao Guoyang touched his chin and said: "Well, driverless cars use on-board sensors to perceive the surrounding environment of the vehicle, and control the steering and speed of the vehicle according to the road, vehicle location and obstacle information obtained by perception, so that the vehicle can drive on the road safely and reliably." ”

"Frankly, it's a good research project with a cross-generational approach, but it's just ......"

Zhao Guoyang's words had already stunned the blonde and blue-eyed female student in front of her and her companions.

In fact, although they have already started research on "unmanned vehicles", their level is still only at the entry level.

At this time, seeing that Zhao Guoyang clearly explained the principle of "unmanned vehicles" without much effort, these students were naturally full of surprise and surprise.

"Sir, do you have any doubts about our research project?" asked the female student with a look of hope.

Zhao Guoyang shrugged his shoulders and said lightly: "It's not that you question it, but that you are facing a lot of difficulties in this project. ”

"Let's take the simplest example, since the 70s of this century, the United States, England, Germany and other countries have begun to conduct research on driverless cars. At present, driverless cars have made breakthroughs in terms of feasibility and practicality. ”

"It stands to reason that the technology has gradually matured. But why is it that so far, driverless car technology has not been popularized, or even applied to real life at all?"

Listening to Zhao Guoyang's question, the blonde woman's surprise was even worse.

Zhao Guoyang ignored her surprise and explained to himself: "The reason is very simple, this technology lacks an industry standard. ”

"To put it bluntly, driverless cars, like airplanes, need a response system to communicate directly, such as sending coordinates, travel speed and destination to each other. ”

"It's a pity that the world's major automakers, how can they be willing to support the same car-to-car communication standards, uniqueness and uniqueness are what these automaker giants are pursuing?"

After Zhao Guoyang's words came out, the six students in front of him were already amazed by him.

The blonde woman in the lead couldn't hold back her excitement, took Zhao Guoyang's hand and said, "Sir, after listening to your explanation, a few of us are really surprised." ”

"If I'm right, you must be an expert in mechanical engineering, right? I wonder if you can give some opinions and suggestions for our research project?"

"We ...... We're willing to pay a price for it!"

Hearing this, the other two female classmates behind the girl couldn't help blushing slightly, while the other three boys looked embarrassed and helpless.

Zhao Guoyang smiled and waved his hand: "The price is not needed! To be honest, although I have some doubts about your project, I am still very interested." ”

"I would like to hear your elaboration on this project, and it is not impossible to get my approval and sponsor you to continue researching this project!"

"Ah, sir, you're a patent investor!," exclaimed the blonde girl.

The surrounding melon-eating crowd was startled by this babbling female classmate, and they all projected concerned eyes on Zhao Guoyang's side.

Zhao Guoyang, who was taken aback, hurriedly shook his hand and said: "This classmate, I think let's find a café and sit down to have a good chat, this is not the place to talk......"

Looking at Zhao Guoyang's eyes, the blonde schoolgirl nodded curtly and said, "Okay sir, let's go to the Monica Cafe in front." By the way, my name is Olivia...... He is a Canadian of Apennine descent. ”

"Zhao Guoyang, Huaxia!" Zhao Guoyang smiled and shook hands with the blonde schoolgirl.

Huo Xiufen on the side looked at Zhao Guoyang and won the trust of these "performer" students in just a few words, and her mouth was a little closed.

Just when she was stupid and didn't know what to do, Zhao Guoyang had already turned around and nodded to her, "Huo, let's go to the café in front to rest." I'll have a casual chat with these students!"

"Ah, good...... Okay!" Huo Xiufen was in a trance, and was finally reminded by Chang Linda and Duan Ruixiang next to her, and quickly followed.

Olivia was very interested in Zhao Guoyang's remarks on the "driverless car" just now, and took him and Huo Xiufen to Monica's café in three steps and two steps.

After sitting down one by one, Olivia couldn't help but ask Zhao Guoyang: "Researcher Zhao, how much do you know about 'driverless cars'?"

Hearing this, Zhao Guoyang sighed "hmm" and said unhurriedly: "It's hard to say how much you know, anyway, it should be enough to point out the direction of your research......

"Uh......" Listening to Zhao Guoyang's big words that didn't seem to be fake, Olivia and her companions were stunned for a while.
