Chinese entertainment for engineering students

Whitney recently became obsessed with drum books. Even though she didn't understand anything, she went to listen to Wang Xu's mother sing the drum. Especially when she heard that there was a way to sing the drum with a light, she even asked Wang Xu's mother to sing it. Wang Xu’s mother was very embarrassed.

Although she has never been a teacher in this area, the teacher has strict requirements, so there is no problem in fooling this little foreigner. At least it made her very satisfied. Looking at the way she held her baby happily every day recently, you could tell that she was in a good mood.

This is a very good sign. The difference between postpartum depression and ordinary depression is that this disease really gets better, and it can be cured very quickly, within a few days or months.

And there are generally no sequelae, unlike ordinary depression, and sometimes it is even difficult to judge whether it is really cured.

Dagu Shu is actually a very unique art form. There are many similar ones in China, such as Sanxian, Dagu, Pingtan, and even versions in local dialects.

But at least Wang Xu has never seen it abroad, so this form may be unique in the world. This kind of singing and storytelling performance is really unique.

If you say what this thing looks like, it is actually somewhat similar to the wandering poets in Western legends. They are people who travel between different cities and tell stories with songs.

In fact, Western songs themselves have a narrative function, so maybe they don't need a new form and can just sing directly.

If you listen carefully to Western songs, many songs tell a story, such as the famous song "Hotel California" that Wang Xu also particularly likes to sing.

This song, Wang Xu has been singing the version with the super long intro. This song is very old. It was made into a record by the Eagles more than ten years ago. There are countless people singing this song all over the world. This is a song that every wandering musician must know.

But some time ago, Wang Xu suddenly received a letter from Greg Frey, the former lead singer of the Eagles. This letter was forwarded by PolyGram.

The reason was that two core members of the original Eagles, Gully Frey and Don Henley, wanted to bring the Eagles back together. Recently, he accidentally heard a cover song from China from a friend.

The singer in the video made an unprecedented arrangement of the intro to the song "Hotel California." The intro alone is three minutes long. The video is a bit blurry and was recorded by a diplomat who was listening to the song in a bar with a home video recorder.

But that singer is very professional, both his arrangement and interpretation are classics.

This version is not a release, it is just a play and sing in a bar. This kind of playing and singing does not violate copyright laws. Of course, Greg Frey did not come to Wang Xu to ask for copyright fees. On the contrary, he hoped to obtain Wang Xu's authorization to use Wang Xu's arrangements in the future.

According to the PolyGram staff, the reason why Greg Frey was able to find them was because of the popularity of Wang Fei and Wang Xu in Chou Country.

The only company that Greg Frey could think of that was related to the Chinese music industry was Wang Fei's employer, PolyGram. So I asked PolyGram for help and asked who this Chinese singer was.

After many twists and turns, I finally found the person in charge of releasing Wang Fei’s album.

The man looked at it and thought, oh, this is my Wang Xu, so the letter crossed the Pacific and came to Wang Xu's hands.

Well, Wang Xuzhen didn't expect that the version he sang was not the original version, but a new interpretation after they reorganized the band. Forget it, which one is not copied? This is not the first time.

But since I have been approached and my attitude is quite polite, I have to agree. There is absolutely no intention of compensation.

Wang Xu not only sent his own arrangement score, but also recorded a CD of his own interpretation and Wang Fei's interpretation and sent it to them. By the way, he has built a very good recording studio. This CD was recorded in his own recording studio. They are welcome to come and play when they have time.

By the way, I also asked if I could make a cover song. If so, I would ask PolyGram people to discuss the copyright. Finally, I just wish them a smooth reorganization.

The letter was also written very politely and reciprocally. The Eagles were a royal band in the music industry of Chou Country. Wang Xu in his previous life liked their songs very much. Although I am not considered a fan, it is mainly because I don’t know anything about their personal life, otherwise the premature copying would not have happened.

Within a week, Wang Xu received a reply, praising his and Wang Fei's singing, and agreeing to Wang Xu's request for a cover. The specific cost would naturally be negotiated between Polygram and his company's people. , will not be mentioned in the letter.

He said in the letter that he was really impressed by the pure sound recorded by Wang Xu, and asked him if he knew about the possibility of holding a concert in China.

Since then, letters have been going back and forth between Wang Xu and Greg Frey, and later they were changed to emails, and then to ICQ.

ICQ is a small product developed by Wang Xu. It is mainly used for instant messaging on the Internet and has been handed over to Senior Brother Yuzhuo to operate. This thing is really of no use in China today. Without it, there are too few users and it can only be a toy.

Network applications require a good infrastructure foundation. Although Wang Xu's contributions to various technologies have made China's network infrastructure much stronger than in previous generations, it still cannot completely break the rules at the physical level.

What's more, not many Chinese people nowadays can afford expensive products like computers. If they don't even have computers, where are the Internet users?

Relying on the powerful national telephone lines in the past, the country developed very rapidly in the early stages of network construction. In addition, the country's computer penetration rate was already quite high, and the model of the family as the basic unit for computer use has been established.

Around 1990, Chouguo Online was established to provide dial-up Internet services on a large scale to the outside world. This can actually be regarded as the beginning of Chouguo's formal large-scale entry into the Internet era.

In recent years, the number of Internet users has been expanding crazily at a rate of doubling every year. However, the Internet in this era is actually static, that is, it is basically an edited HTML page that is placed on the network server and displayed directly to the outside world.

Users have no other interactive behaviors except clicking. Therefore, although this generation of networks is novel, it is really not of much use. The use of the network is still on the eve of an explosion.

Although many technologies originating from the US military have been decentralized, the technical threshold for those things is still too high, and ordinary people are still excluded from the Internet.

However, at this time, one of the most significant events in the Internet in this world happened, that is, in June 1993, the Chouguo GIT mirror station officially began to provide external services.

A large number of basic network service programs and applications produced by Wang Xu are presented to the world in an open source manner, which undoubtedly greatly promotes the process of networking.

From the browser to the server, from the front end to the back end, from interaction to data, there is almost a complete set of solutions here. Although most of them are only initial versions and not very perfect, the various protocols are cleverly matched and cooperate smoothly. Breathtaking.

Take the browser, for example, which can almost directly obtain support from the bottom layer of the COS operating system, and automatically call hardware support at the surface application layer to complete the rendering of the interface.

All these operations are encapsulated in a desktop system called Desktop. This complete graphical solution allows computer operations to completely abandon the command line, allowing users to perform most of the computer operations through the mouse. operate.

The browser actually uses the same underlying layer as the desktop system. Whether it is support for the JavaScript language or access to hardware acceleration, it all comes from the underlying layer.

What the browser does is just to obtain network resources, then pass the rendering to the bottom layer of the desktop system, and finally draw a beautiful web page on the screen.

Wang Xu directly expanded the support for HTML. He allowed the page to embed program code and access the objects inside the page. This is the so-called browser-side program.

At the core of the entire architecture, Wang Xu referred to the later Google Chrome system. The essence of this thing is actually an operating system, but it is disguised as a browser.

I won’t explain it in too much detail. Generally speaking, Wang Xu borrowed many architectures from later generations and achieved leapfrog development in some network application capabilities in a relatively simple computer environment.

Wang Xu even put a large number of protocol specifications into open source projects. Later, countless contributors wrote various tutorials on these protocols.

Later, various open source projects of development tools also added support for various new protocols. Now, the international IEEE, W3C and the like have not yet formulated protocols, and the de facto standards here are already on the way.

But this is normal. Now several major international standardization organizations have absorbed a large number of teams from Shuimu, Imperial University and Chinese Academy of Sciences as members. After all, they themselves are the maintainers of those new protocol standards.

This is an international standards organization that was difficult for universities to join in previous lives. It has always been dominated by Western universities and large manufacturers. Now, China's diplomacy has not yet broken the ice. The electronic information field here has been integrated.

Therefore, the big open source promoted by Wang Xu is called the Big Bang of the Internet era by the industry. There is no doubt that this is an explosive event.

Emails, chat rooms, word games, bulletin boards, communities, and websites all began to pop up at a big explosion speed, and many commercial companies began to conduct commercial operations based on them.

Countless applications have emerged on this basis, countless companies have emerged as a result, and the Internet has even entered the first-generation complete era several years ahead of schedule.

Because almost all of these things are supported by open source projects, and the rapid feedback from users, the rapid response of operating companies, and commercial forces have begun to contribute to the open source community, this makes the version updates of these software almost every two months. It will happen once.

This can be said to be several times faster than the previous era of commercial stand-alone software, where a new version was released every year.

It can be said that a positive cycle has been formally formed. Various teams from friendly countries and friendly universities across the country and even around the world have begun to gradually take over these projects and form dedicated teams for maintenance.

Of course, such things were noticed by the superiors. Even if they were not noticed, Wang Xu would make it clear to the superiors that you should not underestimate these people in the scientific and technological circles. They really have no influence on politics.

But this big explosion is a real technology platform and commercial drama, backed by countless capital. The energy of these people cannot be compared to that of several universities and projects.

It has been less than a year since GIT debuted in the West, but its registered users have exceeded one million, its contributors have exceeded 100,000, and there are tens of thousands of projects. The amount of code has increased in just a few months. Close to ten times.

It can be said that in less than a year, GIT has surpassed Microsoft's code volume in ten years.

Of course, Wang Xu is definitely unable to review so many codes. What he can control himself is actually only a few core applications. The rest relies on Shuimu's power.

And after continuous opening up, the power of other universities, and even the power of the world, makes this happen seem like a miracle.

And ICQ is just a small program, completely inconspicuous compared to various open source network applications. This thing is more like a creative product than a technological product.

The technology in this thing uses mature things in GIT, and is built using various open source libraries.

Moreover, Wang Xu chose libraries for the client that were already connected to the Dos+Windows system, instead of the simpler and more effective COS-specific libraries.

The server is a mature product directly used on GIT. The server at this time also provides a function of personnel login and friend relationship. Wang Xu directly used the ready-made directory service to build it without writing any code at all. .

This little thing was thrown to Senior Brother Yuzhuo and asked him to operate it in Chou Country. Then he gave Senior Brother Yuzhuo a brief introduction on how to play Internet games, what about capturing traffic, finding financing, and don’t worry about whether it is profitable or not, wait for someone For acquisition, just quote a sky-high price and sell it to the next buyer.

He didn't care about it after that. This thing was a gift from Wang Xu to all employees and a gift to all GIT contributors.

He distributed the equity of this thing to all employees, of course only the dividend rights, and all teams that contributed to the maintenance of GIT also received a little share.

Wang Xu's troika was allocated two points each. Wang Fei and Wang Xu were allocated 10 points in total. Senior Brother Yuzhuo was responsible for the operation, and he was given an additional two points to maintain his own team.

The company's employees will all share a little bit, not a lot. After all, Wang Xu's employees haven't made much contribution, so they are not suitable for spending large sums of money. When the business sells for big money in the future, it will be enough for each person to share a few thousand yuan.

There are so many people on GIT. Wang Xu will only reward those contributors to projects initiated by Wang Xu. They are the driving force behind this big explosion. In fact, they have already sent what Wang Xu wants to Wang Xu. On hand.

And this saucy operation just tells the world that Wang Xu really doesn't care about money, he just wants to promote technology to the world.

Although in the end each contributor can only get a few hundred dollars at most, like Wang Xu’s employees, this kind of selfless distribution of all income to participants around the world is something worthy of bragging.

Of course, Senior Brother Yuzhuo will not forget the role of these people who will be profitable in the future, let alone ignore the advertising effect of such an event.

As a result, his operations became more and more exciting. Although there was no open source, he also first established his own project in the GIT community.

Then an AB equity distribution plan compiled and compiled by Chouguo Accounting Firm was published in this project, and then X.W, as the project initiator, personally issued this statement.

The PricewaterhouseCoopers consulting firm in Chou Country is responsible for all management of the equity, but these equity shares have no voting rights, only dividend rights, and the decision-making power is ultimately in the hands of Wang Xu.

Don't underestimate X.W's influence on GIT. He already has tens of thousands of followers. These people are all IT elites in the true sense, both in terms of education and personal wealth. The existence of the middle and upper classes of society.

You have not seen that Wang Xu’s novels can be sold as best-sellers in Chou Country. Many of the technical documents he wrote, especially on Internet architecture, were collected and published by Chou Country’s technology publishing house, and each book sold for hundreds of dollars. All of them have actually been sold and become the number one item on Amazon, the online bookstore.

Just by selling books, Wang Xu's income in Chou Country has exceeded tens of millions of dollars, which is no slower than the money he will make from selling ICQ in the future. Influence is wealth. For Wang Xu, making money now is really just like picking it up.

If we only look at income, don't look at Wang Xu's income in the imperial capital without going out. He really doesn't earn less than Wang Fei in one year. Next year's statistics will probably be higher than Wang Fei's.

Wang Xu's statement was of course claiming that he had attempted a commercial project in order to facilitate communication. In order to thank the contributors on GIT for their support of those projects, he donated the income from this project to all Wang Xu's projects from the beginning. People who contributed.

Of course, some shares will also be given out to various GIT management organizations including the maintenance teams of various university GIT mirror stations, the GIT Management Committee, and the GIT Foundation.

For a small project, Wang Xu directly split it into 100,000 shares. The initial price of each share was one dollar, and then gave one to several shares to most of the people on the list.

Once the matter was thrown out, Wang Xu didn't care, because he was busy making movies, and even the follow-up maintenance of the program was done by Brother Yuzhuo.

The investment in the entire project is not large, because the server does not store much information, so the pressure on the entire system is also very small. This is an end-to-end communication method, so it does not support any groups or groups. type of communication.

This is no different from the original ICQ in the previous life. Under limited hardware conditions, this kind of thing greatly meets the communication needs of users. As long as both parties are online, they can communicate with each other as if they are right in front of each other.

At this moment, the Internet is a far more novel experience than the phone, because the people you communicate with are completely unknown to you. This kind of social interaction with strangers is the original form of Internet social interaction.

A simple ICQ number and an email address become your identity on the Internet, and social networks based on the anonymous system have begun to take shape.

This thing was written by Wang Xu last year. He wrote it procrastinatingly for several months and tested it internally for a while. It wasn't until the end of the year that it was actually handed over to Senior Brother Yuzhuo for operation.

And he himself devoted all his energy to the process of making movies.

There aren’t many stories to tell during the filming of the movie. After all, the people recruited are either capable or talented. It can be said that it is not difficult to star in such a science fiction film that does not require too much acting skills.

That is to say, at the very beginning, the large green screen surrounding it somewhat affected the performance of the actors.

Even the actors from Chou Country had no experience shooting in front of a green screen. Fortunately, except for a few scenes, most of the green screens were actually used for long shots.

Therefore, although it has an impact, it is really not that big.

Jiang Wen's performance was very stable, and he portrayed a somewhat experienced captain very well. However, at the beginning, he did not understand the positioning of the film, or in other words, he was not handsome enough.

It's okay to be profound. For this role, he wrote a lot of biographies, and even discussed it with Wang Xu. Wang Xu even encouraged him to write this part of Murphy's biography into a truly fluent text, and put it in On GIT, it exists as a biography of peripheral characters.

The same goes for Liang Jiahui. His analysis of the villain Cipher is particularly profound. Wang Xu described the background of this character in the script. He is a betrayer, but not a pure bad guy.

He just chose family love between family love and friendship. He couldn't forget his family in the virtual world, and he even felt that the outside world was false.

This is a poor man who is completely confused between truth and falsehood. He has undoubtedly hurt many people, but he is also undoubtedly a person who has been completely driven crazy by the Matrix.

This is a character that is worth exploring and has depth. For this reason, Liang Jiahui also completely established the biography of this character, and he even more actively fabricated the entire family for him.

Busy father, kind mother, and her favorite sister who pesters him all day long. He felt that he had been deceived by Murphy into leaving his family, but he was very forbearing and did not let Murphy see the flaw. Instead, he gave the entire team an almost fatal blow at the critical moment.

If the tank hadn't discovered his abnormality in advance, the entire team might have been completely wiped out. But in the end Tank took advantage of him and sent the wrong message, which also led to his anger because he couldn't go back at all.

He tried to unplug everyone's interfaces, but was finally killed by the awakened tank. Before his death, he also took away the lives of two team members, and by the way exposed the location of the spacecraft.

Smith, played by John, is even more complicated. He is also a traitor, but he actually does not trust the matrix itself. The purpose of his rebellion is also for higher authority, and he is to resurrect his lover.

In Wang Xu's version of "The Matrix", no one is innocent. The positioning of good guys and bad guys is just different in position. Many people will even get different interpretations.

For example, which world is truly illusory? After all, those science fiction scenes don’t seem to be that real. The existence of underground cities, distant Xi’an, underground speeding cars, anti-gravity motorcycles, etc., are really that real.

Wang Xu is only responsible for digging holes, he is not responsible for answering, and the movie will not give answers either.

If we follow the setting of the movie universe, then obviously illusion and reality are clear.

But does the setting have to be real? This is also a question. Is the movie universe even real? Wang Xu deliberately used the concept of movie universe to give people such a psychedelic feeling.

The movie hasn't even been made yet, and various hypotheses and speculations based on the birth of the novel have already flooded major forums. Many entertainment-related websites in Ugly Country will also continue to reprint discussions about various background worlds. .

This is the world's first open source fantasy setting. According to the agreement, anyone can freely use the ideas in it. If you upload the content, you have authorized others to use it.

This actually opens the door to a new creative method, and it can even be said to be a new social experiment. If any country is most interested in this new thing, it is undoubtedly the free and undisciplined Westerners.

Various discussions gradually moved from GIT to bulletin boards, to forums, to portals, and finally expanded out of the circle and entered the mainstream media's attention.

In recent years, the Internet has begun to be fully popularized in the United States, and its development can be said to be in the ascendant. It is also the direction of President Zipperton's governance. The media is naturally extremely interested in this trouble.

When this kind of thing becomes a national craze, nothing can stop it. This is an Internet event and an entertainment event, so there will be a lot to talk about.

If the media doesn't take advantage of it, then it can't be called the media. From newspapers to magazines, from radio stations to TV stations, you are only allowed to say that you don't want to watch it, but you are not allowed to say that you can't watch it. Wang Xu's movie has just been launched, so it can be regarded as such an achievement.

The news that Wang Xu's movie has been launched has been revealed by New Line in the Ugly Country's news media. The identities of Wang Xu and Wang Fei, Whitney's joining, the participation of the Hong Kong Singer, various news, one after another slowly releasing.

Some people have begun to say that this film is a party for singers and not a serious film.

Who would have thought that as soon as this statement came out, a large number of fans on GIT would quit. This is the world's first open source project of the movie universe, and it is very sacred in their hearts.

As a result, various debates are not only filled with traditional news media, but also on emerging Internet portals such as Yahoo.

Well, that’s right, Yahoo has just been established, and the GIT Foundation also invested in it, which is a support project. The founder is not only a Stanford graduate, but also a Chinese. It is only natural to receive investment and support from GIT.

New Line is a little confused. They are also veterans of running movies. Although they can imagine that the new model may bring discussion, they never thought that it would be such an exaggeration.

The filming of this movie has just started, and the whole world seems to be discussing this matter, and it can’t even be suppressed. This is a new era, this is a new hot spot, and it is an industry that this Ugly Government is focusing on supporting and encouraging. It was simply the right time, the right place, the right people, and the right people.

New Line once asked Wang Xu to do something in science to warm up the film, but who knew that Wang Xu is a person who makes science fiction movies, which is the kind that is born with its own traffic.

He is originally a god in emerging fields. Whatever he says, you just need to believe it. If you don't believe it, it's not faith.

Ugly people dare to believe in any cult. John believes in a cult called Scientific Truth. At least China considers this religion to be a cult.

But fortunately, John is not a religious lunatic. On the contrary, his attitude towards making movies is extremely serious and professional.

Perhaps his career has been unsuccessful for many years, which makes his temperament somewhat melancholy. After applying makeup, he naturally has a somewhat gloomy feeling.

Coupled with the gloomy weather and low music, the effect and the proper sense of sight of the villain made Wang Xu quite satisfied, and the filming progressed quite smoothly.

Just two days after Wang Xu started shooting, this issue of "Science" magazine was released, and the "Wang Xu's Engagement Ring Research" project was unveiled to the public as a cover story.

If you want to say where Wang Xu is most famous, apart from the Internet, it is in the field of scientific research. There is almost no one in the university in Chou who has not heard of this name.

After all, the current GIT is really very influential. Even though it has only been a few months, its rapid expansion, wide application, and the number of scientific research it has affected are simply breathtaking.

Even many fields that have nothing to do with the IT field are attracted by the open source of a large number of scientific libraries and scientific computing software, and they have to pay attention to them.

X.W, Wang Xu, Shuimu, Huaxia, these words are unavoidable topics in major scientific research institutes during this period.

Then, someone discovered that this Wang Xu should be the discoverer of graphene, the scientist who opened the door to the world of two-dimensional materials for the world. He was also the inventor of the emerging blue light diode, the inventor who opened a new brightness to the world.

He is also the pioneer of many new methods of neural network artificial intelligence, a promoter of music therapy for depression, and a singer of music used to treat depression. Well, this is complicated.

Then, looking at the almost countless projects established by Wang Xu on GIT, even GIT itself is this Wang Xu, who is called the God of Code on GIT.

Now, this god is actually engaged. He even conducted research on an engagement ring and published it in science.

Well, this world is too magical and I can’t understand it. I don’t know how many doctors are pulling back their scanty hair and roaring.

Then many scientists studied the paper carefully. The paper was actually very simple. It actually said that he used the hair of himself and his fiancée as materials, used a high-temperature and high-pressure environment, and used small particles of diamond as seeds to successfully cultivate gems. Grade polished diamonds.

The result is good, I can't say how shocking it is, but it is indeed full of gimmicks.

Wang Xu claimed that the quality of the diamonds he cultivated was very high, and then someone found reports from Xiangjiang at that time, which were supported by appraisal certificates carefully appraised by a jewelry appraisal agency.

This content cannot be false, and science can prove it, which means they have judged the authenticity of the matter, not to mention the photos of the finished product have been published in newspapers.

So can we draw such a simple conclusion, that is, gem-grade artificial diamonds can be synthesized in the laboratory.

According to this logic, this can actually be regarded as a top-level scientific research. Although it is a bit low-level to be published in "Science", after all, it is unlikely that anyone will cite it.

But the research is definitely hot enough, and scientists are also very fashionable. This thing is very fashionable and closely related to daily life. There is no problem with such a discovery being published in Science.

I really didn’t expect that this topic expert who always creates gimmicks could produce such significant scientific research results in such a short period of time.

For scholars, their first reaction when they saw that this thing could be synthesized in the laboratory was not to get a ring, but to think of many experimental uses of diamond.

For example, whether it can be used as an optical component. Although this thing is a bit brittle, its hardness is high enough. If its purity is high enough, its light conductivity is also very good. I wonder if it can be used to make lenses for use in space.

Scientists' imaginations are never small. The laboratory can synthesize something as big as that. According to the paper, this is not the limit. It's just a matter of time. Then we can consider larger ones, and some lenses and the like are not impossible. .

As for price, scientists really rarely consider this thing. Many things used in laboratories are luxuries outside, but may be consumables in the laboratory.

For example, gold and silver are luxury goods, but in the laboratory, the price is far lower than that of palladium, rhodium and other metals. Even the latter can still be said to be a common consumable in the laboratory.

Or how to say that scientific research burns money? It really means that money is burned.

But not all scholars think this way, there are also good people. Wang Xu has been a hot topic in the news recently, and joining in the fun is not just a hobby for Chinese people. The same is true for Ugly people and Ugly scientists.

Then the new content of "Science" magazine was spread to the mass media and was widely reproduced in major news media, from newspapers to TV stations. It was very lively.

There are still a few serious media people in the media at this time. They are not all bastards, and they still have to put on some airs. They always ask two serious experts to evaluate.

As a result, it was a little slow, and the interview here has not yet been officially released. The "Anglo American Resources Group" stock in the London trading market fell 5 points at the opening, and then the whole day was red.

Anglo American is a company specializing in mining, including coal, iron ore, copper ore, platinum ore, nickel ore, and manganese ore. Of course, it is also the parent company of South Africa's major diamond supplier "De Beers".

Regardless of other people's analysis, investors voted with real money and were terrified.

Then there are experts who study jewelry, market, and economy, analyzing the possible impact of the successful synthesis of gem-quality diamonds in the laboratory on the future jewelry market.

Fortunately, Wang Xu did not introduce in detail how to cultivate this kind of diamond, nor did he disclose the cost. According to the general speculation of scientists, no matter how you calculate it, the cost of Wang Xu's method should be quite high.

However, top-grade diamonds have been affected to some extent, and even the annual diamond auctions have been greatly affected, with considerable declines in transaction prices and quantities.

This is the power of industrial products to affect the whole body with a single move. At this point, it is just synthesized in a laboratory.

According to general logic, it takes at least five years to move from the laboratory to industrialization. Ten years is not long. Even if the cost never comes down, the possibility of staying in the laboratory forever is definitely not small.

The diamond giants naturally have ways to do all kinds of public relations and publicity. Anyway, diamonds were originally created by them, and they just continue to brag about them. It’s hard to say what’s going on in China. Things in this country are really weird, but the West is still easy to clean up.

In fact, not to mention the huge diamond reserves on the entire earth, diamonds are not a particularly scarce item just in terms of excavable reserves.

Most of the existing diamond mines are not digging hard, and they are not even willing to seriously explore the total reserves. These things are all shipped in a planned way under the control of capital.

In the former Soviet Union and now Russia, huge diamond deposits have been discovered. However, based on the attitude that they would be worthless if they were excavated in large quantities, they reached a consensus with Western capital and everyone sold them according to quotas.

And deep in the earth, the diamond reserves may be as high as tens of billions of tons. If this thing is really valuable, someone has long thought about digging it, but everyone knows that if this thing is really dug out, it will not be valuable. .

But the paper in Science magazine at least illustrates one problem, that is, the formation of diamonds certainly does not require a crystallization process of hundreds of millions of years. Perhaps natural formation does require it, but it is not necessary.

The gem-quality quality also proves that the previous propaganda that artificial diamonds can only be used for industrial purposes is nonsense.

These are some of the rhetoric used to deceive people into buying diamonds. One paper contains at least two falsehoods. But there are many other explanations, especially those related to love, marriage, etc., which are metaphysics.

What's more, as long as you keep telling lies, people will naturally take them seriously.

Therefore, at least for now, although Wang Xu's paper has caused some short-term investment panic, from a few years' perspective, everything is fine.

As for De Beers, the Chinese government will definitely take advantage of this opportunity and let them help with some public relations lobbying work. Joining the WTO is the most important thing for China recently.

However, it is estimated that in this life, China will have to ban the export of artificial diamonds in order to get help from Anglo American. Don’t underestimate this company. This is a very old company, Angsa Capital.

Its origins can be traced back to the Age of Discovery, and it plays a very important role in the entire Western world. It is the old money among the old money.

This is what international exchanges are like. It's just an exchange of interests, and everything else is imaginary. If you want them to sit down and discuss with you, you must have trump cards that can be exchanged.

Of course, if you really don’t have anything, they will just grab it. They tried it, but later found that they couldn’t grab it, so they sat down to talk, but they never regarded you as a partner.

Wang Xu can do very little, and all he does is help save some money and gather some trump cards.
