In March 2028, the spring breeze was still a little chilly, but Xiao Zhenxi felt his blood boiling.
A previous transfer order transferred him from the Navy Island Garrison to the Aerospace Force, thus starting his new journey to pursue his dream in the aerospace.
In the eyes of others, this was a rocket-like leap, but Xiao Zhenxi knew that every step forward carried a heavy responsibility and mission.
After receiving the transfer order, Xiao Zhenxi did not have time to say goodbye to his family before rushing to the northwest to participate in a four-month training camp.
The Gobi Desert in the northwest is filled with wind and sand, and the conditions are harsh.
But Xiao Zhenxi did not back down at all. He carried out high-intensity physical training under the scorching sun every day, running on the gravel carrying heavy equipment. His clothes were soaked with sweat, which was quickly dried by the wind and sand, leaving behind white sweat stains.
At night, he curled up in a makeshift tent, accompanied by the whistling wind, studying the strategic and tactical information of the Aerospace Force. In his eyes, those densely packed texts and complex charts were the codes leading to the aerospace battlefield.
During the training, Xiao Zhenxi fully utilized his academic advantages as a dual doctorate from Tsinghua University's Qian Class and Zhi Class, and put forward unique insights into some theories of aerospace warfare.
When he participated in group tactical discussions, he combined quantum computing and artificial intelligence technologies to provide new ideas for traditional combat modes, which impressed his instructors and comrades.
During a simulated confrontation drill, his team faced a strong opponent and was once in trouble.
At the critical moment, Xiao Zhenxi used what he had learned to quickly analyze the battlefield situation and proposed a plan to use quantum encryption communication for a covert raid, successfully turning the tide of the battle and achieving victory.
After this exercise, he became famous in the training team.
After four months of training, Xiao Zhenxi successfully transferred to the Aerospace Command Department of the National Defense University for further studies due to his outstanding performance.
The moment he stepped into the National Defense University, his heart was filled with awe and longing.
This place brings together elites from all over the army, and the campus is filled with a rigorous academic atmosphere and a strong military flavor.
At the National Defense University, Xiao Zhenxi eagerly absorbed knowledge.
Courses such as aerospace strategy, aerospace technology, and the art of command broadened his horizons, and he stood out among the many students. By chance, he came into contact with the quantum national-level combat system upgrade project.
As the core support for my country's aerospace defense, this system aims to improve the efficiency and accuracy of combat command through quantum technology, and is related to the future of national aerospace security.
However, the core algorithm of the current system has some bottlenecks, which limit its further performance improvement.
Xiao Zhenxi volunteered to participate in the improvement of the core algorithm for upgrading the war skull system.
He plunged into the data room and consulted a large number of domestic and foreign literature on quantum computing, artificial intelligence algorithms, and aerospace combat simulation.
During the day, he enthusiastically discussed the direction of algorithm optimization with professors and classmates in the classroom; at night, he sat alone in front of the computer, debugging code line by line and analyzing data one by one.
The library of the National Defense University became the place he spent most of his time, and he would often leave reluctantly only when the closing bell rang.
The research on quantum algorithms is complex and difficult, and the adjustment of each parameter may have a ripple effect on the entire system.
Xiao Zhenxi encountered many difficulties, the biggest challenge of which was how to ensure the algorithm's computing speed while improving its adaptability to complex aerospace battlefield environments.
When processing massive amounts of data, traditional algorithms are prone to falling into local optimal solutions, leading to incorrect decisions.
Xiao Zhenxi tried to introduce a new quantum annealing algorithm, combined with the reinforcement learning model in deep learning, so that the algorithm can autonomously learn and optimize in a dynamically changing battlefield environment.
During the algorithm testing phase, Xiao Zhenxi experienced countless failures.
Every failure was like a hammer, but he never gave up.
He carefully analyzed the causes of each error and constantly adjusted the algorithm structure and parameter settings.
Sometimes he would stay awake for days and nights over a small problem.
When his classmates urged him to take a rest, he would always smile and say, "I can't sleep until this problem is solved. The country has entrusted us with such an important task, and we must give it our all."
During those difficult days, exchanging letters with Wang Yue became Xiao Zhenxi's greatest comfort.
Every time he received a letter from Wang Yue, he couldn't wait to open it like a child.
In the letter, Wang Yue described in detail her life at NPU: the busyness in the laboratory, repeatedly verifying experimental data; the beautiful sight of the golden ginkgo leaves on campus, how she wished she could stroll there with Xiao Zhenxi; and her new gains in her master's degree program in aerospace engineering, her obsession with research on new spacecraft materials.
"Today, while looking up information in the library, I came across a paper on the application of quantum materials in aerospace. It suddenly reminded me of you. Your research in the Aerospace Force must be closely related to this.
I'd really like to hear you talk about your job. Is it challenging and cool? "
Xiao Zhenxi would always write back to Wang Yue in the dead of night under the dim desk lamp.
He shared every bit of his time at the National Defense University: the difficulties he encountered in participating in the combat skull system upgrade project, the joy of successfully solving a small problem; the sparks of thought that collided when he had heated discussions with classmates on aerospace strategy; and the exhaustion and satisfaction of sweating on the training ground.
"I've been busy working late lately to optimize algorithms, but when I think of you working hard for your dream of space travel, I feel empowered.
When we all finish our studies, we must contribute to the nation's space program together."
