431: Chapter 431 Technical Bottlenecks

"If there aren't enough people, go hire them. Offer triple or quintuple the salary; poach from our competitors."

"If the equipment isn't enough, go buy it. The world's top servers—you can pick any you want."

"The budget has no ceiling."

He walked up to Dr. Li, placed his hand on the conference table, and leaned forward slightly.

"I will give you every resource I can provide."

"I only require one result."

"Two months from now, when Vision Dynamics proudly releases their 'prometheus,' our 'janus' must make their product look like an antique from the last century."

Chen Guangke looked at Shen Yan's profile, feeling a surge of adrenaline rush from the soles of his feet straight to the crown of his head.

He didn't understand symmetric or asymmetric concepts, but he understood Shen Yan.

Every time Shen Yan made a decision that seemed so crazy, the final outcome always proved him right.

He stood up and slapped the table.

"Dr. Li, stop hesitating! Do exactly as President Shen said!"

"What's two months? We'll give it everything we've got!"

Wu Ya also nodded and added,

"I will immediately establish a special logistics support team, on standby 24 hours a day, to resolve every issue the technical team faces outside of R&D."

"Simultaneously, the Legal Department will begin preparing the global patent application materials for the 'janus' architecture."

Her words precisely filled in every link of Shen Yan's strategy.

Dr. Li looked at the three people before him.

A decision-maker who was insane, an executor who trusted unconditionally, and a calm, efficient gap-filler.

He felt his own blood beginning to burn.

As a technician, wasn't the greatest dream to personally create a product that would subvert an entire era?

Risk? Difficulty?

What did those things even matter!

He took a deep breath, adjusted his glasses, and the light in his eyes, behind the lenses, reignited.

"Good!"

"President Shen, I guarantee it!"

"Two months—even if it means we all burn out in the server room, we will definitely build 'janus' for you!"

"No, we will perfect it!"

Shen Yan nodded and resumed his seat at the head of the table.

"Very good."

"For all personnel involved in this project, bonuses will be multiplied by ten after the project concludes."

"Upon successful launch of the project, core members will each receive an apartment in a first-tier city."

He threw out the most direct and most effective incentive.

The atmosphere in the conference room instantly shifted from solemnity and shock to fervor and excitement.

The meeting ended.

The crowd dispersed.

Chen Guangke did not leave; he stayed behind.

"Yan Zi, tell me honestly, where did you get this idea?"

He lowered his voice, his face filled with curiosity.

"This doesn't seem like something you could think up overnight."

Shen Yan picked up the water cup on the desk and took a sip.

"Sometimes, looking at a problem from a different angle can turn a dead end into a broad highway."

He offered no further explanation.

The System was his biggest secret; he couldn't tell anyone.

Chen Guangke looked at Shen Yan. Although still puzzled, he chose to believe.

He was used to it.

From Shen Yan having nothing to his resurgence, the miracles he had created were already too numerous.

"Fine. As long as you know what you're doing."

"I'll go speak with HR now and start the recruitment process."

With that, he turned and strode out.

In the conference room, only Shen Yan and Wu Ya remained.

Wu Ya quietly tidied the files on the table with gentle movements.

"You don't seem worried at all," she suddenly spoke up.

"Worried about what?" Shen Yan countered.

"Worried that Dr. Li and the others won't be able to pull it off."

"Worried that the huge funds we invested will be wasted."

Shen Yan spun the cup in his hand, watching the ripples spread across the water's surface.

"I never do anything I'm not confident about."

"I trust my judgment, and I trust the people I choose."

Wu Ya stopped what she was doing and looked up at Shen Yan.

Under the light, his profile was sharply defined, his gaze calm and profound, as if he could see through everything.

That confidence and sense of control emanating from his very core made her momentarily lose focus.

She knew this man was once again standing at the crest of the era's wave.

And this time, what he was about to stir up would be a global, earth-shattering tempest.

The conference room lights dimmed.

Wu Ya's figure disappeared at the doorway.

The entire top-floor office was left with only Shen Yan.

He didn't leave but walked back to the giant display screen.

The crude diagram he had drawn was still on it.

A large circle, several smaller circles, and an arrow pointing toward the core.

janus.

This architecture, which was still just a concept in his mind, was now set to become the entire company's, and even the industry's, future gamble.

He turned and walked toward the open-plan office area where the project team was located.

Dozens of top Engineers were already in combat mode.

The sound of keyboard tapping was dense like rain, and the low hum of the servers formed a continuous background noise.

The air was thick with the smell of caffeine and energy drinks.

Dr. Li had not returned to his private office but had immediately gathered the core team leaders in front of the whiteboard.

"The asymmetric weighted model—the algorithm logic here must be rewritten!"

"The capture frequency for the auxiliary nodes needs to reach the millisecond level; the existing hardware's I/O interface is a bottleneck!"

"Who is responsible for the data cleaning and noise reduction module for the main core? This is going to be a bottomless pit!"

Problem after problem was thrown out and claimed by someone.

No one complained; no one backed down.

On everyone's face was a sense of excitement born from being pushed to the absolute limit.

Shen Yan did not disturb them.

He just leaned against the glass wall, watching quietly.

The intelligence provided by the System was the 'Key to Breaking the Situation'—it was a key.

But how to use this key to open the door still required his people to explore it with sweat and wisdom.

A young Engineer was stuck on an algorithm, running his hands through his hair in frustration.

Shen Yan walked over.

He glanced at the code on the screen.

"Try using a 'leap connection' to bypass this redundant layer," he said lightly.

The young Engineer froze for a moment, looked up at the legendary boss, and then typed a few lines of code with doubt.

On the screen, the process that had been stuck suddenly ran through.

"It... it ran?"

He dared not believe his own eyes.

Shen Yan didn't say much more, turning to walk toward another workstation.

"For this parallel computation, you can introduce the concept of Graph Neural Networks to reduce computational redundancy."

"For this data interface, don't consider universality; optimize it to the extreme. Sacrifice everything for speed."

Everywhere he went, he dropped one or two seemingly casual remarks that nevertheless went straight to the core.

These suggestions all came from the deeper, unexpanded supplementary information within the System's intelligence.

It was the most fundamental logical explanation of the 'janus' architecture.

Dr. Li also noticed Shen Yan's presence.

He watched Shen Yan move through the crowd, watched as technical bottlenecks were lightly dismantled by him.

Dr. Li's expression slowly changed from initial surprise to awe.

He had initially thought Shen Yan was merely a decision-maker who understood business and had vision.

Only now did he realize that this young boss's depth of understanding in the technical field was far above all of them.
