Rebirth of the Wild Age

ps: I made a mistake in the last chapter. The head of the Department of Computer Science at Fudan University just resigned unexpectedly in 2002, and he hasn’t taken his team to East China Normal University yet. )

Xianghui Hall is still the same, even some stools are broken.

It's just that compared to when Song Weiyang was studying, Xianghuitang's lighting equipment has been upgraded, and now there are digital projectors for speeches.

"Principal Yang!"

"Director Xue!"

"Director Lu!"

"Dean Zang!"

"Professor Zhu!"

"Professor Zhou!"

"..."

When Song Weiyang came to the school, the principal personally greeted him with two teachers from the computer department and the software school. This battle is a bit too big, definitely not only because of web2.0, but more like building momentum for the newly established software academy.

Last year, the Ministry of Education approved more than 30 universities to establish software colleges, all of which added a "demonstrative" prefix. Just like the MBA classes in the past, and the EMBA classes in the past two years, they are all held by the most powerful universities, and it has become a kind of competition between each other and a competition for face.

That Professor Zhou is the dean of the East China Normal University who will lead the team in the future, and Professor Xue who succeeded him as the dean this year is very young, and his advancement speed is amazing: at the age of 27, he obtained a doctorate from Xidian, at the age of 29, he became an associate professor, and at the age of 32 Professor Ping, became a doctoral supervisor at the age of 33, and became the head of the Computer Department of Fudan University at the age of 34.

Of course, Fudan has two computer departments, which were split into two just last year.

As for Dean Zang, he is also very awesome. He got his doctorate at the age of 34, became a professor at the age of 36, became a doctoral supervisor at the age of 37 and founded Fudan Software Institute as the dean. Before becoming a professor, he worked in Intel China Software Lab and went abroad to participate in project development. He was the only Chinese architecture engineer in the team. It happened that last year the country vigorously developed the software industry, and major universities were going to establish software colleges. This gentleman was invited back by Fudan University, and he was named a professor, organized the college, served as the dean and doctoral supervisor in one go.

What's interesting is that Dean Zang, who founded Fudan Software Institute, was the same as Professor Zhou who had just stepped down as the head of the Department of Computer Science. Later, he led his team to change jobs. Professor Zhou went to China Normal University and was promoted all the way to the vice president of China Normal University; while Dean Zang went to Shanghai Jiaotong University and served as the dean of the software school of Shanghai Jiaotong University.

At this time, they were still in Fudan, and they were the mainstay of the computer department and the software school.

To be honest, few of these experts and professors are engaged in the Internet, and they are only slightly interested in the concept of web2.0 proposed by Song Weiyang. Listen to the speech. In their hearts, they were more or less unhappy, feeling that they were wasting precious time.

Accompanied by everyone, Song Weiyang came to Xianghui Hall, which was already densely packed with students.

Originally, only students majoring in computer and software related majors were allowed to come in to listen to the lectures, but many other majors also spontaneously came here. There were even students from Shanghai Jiaotong University, Tongji University, China Normal University and other schools who heard the news. They couldn't enter the Xianghui Hall, so they blocked the door to join in the fun.

Even the bigwigs in the Internet industry have a vague understanding of the concept of web2.0, let alone these school students. They have learned about web2.0 from various channels these days, and they are not clear about it. They may understand it if they are good at understanding, but they still want to hear Song Weiyang's further explanation in person.

Song Weiyang only knows about web2.0, a conceptual thing. He knows nothing about computers and Internet technology, and it is even more impossible to know how many future talents there are among these students.

Let’s just talk about Fudan Software College, which recruited students for the first time in March this year.

The Spring Festival just passed in March, and there is still half a year before the college entrance examination. Where can the software college recruit students? From past students!

For the first time, we recruited 00-level students. As long as you are willing to transfer to another department, the School of Software welcomes you at any time. Even students from the School of Medicine came to join in the fun and were successfully admitted by Fudan Soft School. From the Spring Festival to New Year's Day, Fudan Soft Academy recruited students six times a year. Except for the School of Nursing, all other departments had students transferred. The School of Software not only recruited 200 to 300 people, but also set up a special "Irish class". After graduating from this class, you can get a degree certificate from Dublin University at the same time.

Surrounded by students, Song Weiyang stepped onto the main stage, and there was a student who transferred from the 00-level computer department to Fudan Soft Academy.

The student's name is Chen Haibo. In nine years, he will become the first Asian scholar to independently publish a research paper in SOSP, and later become the director of Huawei's operating system kernel laboratory and the chief scientist of Huawei's Hongmeng system.

Well, although Chen Haibo was studying at Fudan University for undergraduate, master, and Ph.D., he finally went to hand in it. Dean Zang took it with him when he changed jobs. Handing in is an unknown player in the field of international operating systems, and he was brought to the sixth place in the world by Chen Haibo's team. This guy will definitely be awarded an academician in the future.

At this time, Chen Haibo was wearing a pair of glasses, a woolen sweater over his shirt, and a down jacket he had just taken off under his arm. Half of the collar of the shirt is hidden inside, and the other half is exposed outside the v-neck of the woolen sweater. His hair is fluffy and messy. Since he couldn't grab a seat, he could only stand on tiptoe and stretch his neck curiously to look at the stage. go.

"There are so many people today, I'm almost out of oxygen." Song Weiyang smiled and said the opening remarks without nutrition.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

The students were very face-saving, and laughed along with them for no reason.

Song Weiyang looked at the students who were almost crowded onto the stage, took a microphone and said, "The last time I encountered this situation was when I was committing fraud in Shencheng. The students who were listening to my entrepreneurship class surrounded me directly. I sat at my feet for several laps. It’s a pity that no tickets are sold, otherwise someone must be hanging on me to attend the class.”

"Hahahaha!" The students burst into laughter again.

Chen Haibo also laughed along with him. He felt that the senior's speech was very humorous, much more interesting than the usual professors. In particular, Song Weiyang's self-defeating "fraud" not only showed a magnanimous mind, but also made those who satirized him humorous.

Song Weiyang also said: "Nine years ago, some of the students who listened to my lecture on entrepreneurship had a net worth of more than 1 billion, and many of them were multi-millionaires. But to be honest, these people were not able to succeed in their careers because of what I said. How good, but because they are excellent in themselves. You are the same, even better than them. Even if I am just talking nonsense today, after ten or twenty years, the world's top masters will emerge among you figure!"

"Crack clap clap!"

Now all the students started to applaud, and the compliment from the richest man made them feel proud.

"So, I'm here to talk nonsense today." Song Weiyang added.

"Hahaha!"

There was a burst of light laughter, and the atmosphere of the speech was really good.

Song Weiyang continued: "I graduated from the 94th grade of Fudan University majoring in sociology. I don't know anything about computers and the Internet. In front of teachers and students, I am just playing tricks. In the past, when reporters interviewed me about computer problems, I said that I only know how to type, chat and dial. Internet, now I have learned new skills, I can already play online games. Has any of you played "Legend"?"

Amidst the laughter, at least two or three hundred people raised their hands.

Song Weiyang immediately said: "The students who raised their hands just now, please, the professors, please remember that their usual attendance points are all zero. What kind of games are the students playing? That's a video!"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

This time the laughter was louder than before, and everyone could tell that Song Weiyang was insulting some experts and scholars—the concept of "Internet addiction" had already been proposed.

"Let's not talk about professional content today, because I don't understand at all, and I don't even know how to steal a QQ account," Song Weiyang said, "I graduated from Fudan University majoring in sociology, so today I will talk about sociology knowledge. "Out of Control" by Kevin Kelly?"

No one answered.

Song Weiyang immediately said: "There is no Chinese version of this book yet. Principal Yang can get some original English versions. If there are students from other schools present, you can also report to your school leaders. This morning, the "Outlook" magazine The reporter interviewed me, and we talked about Kevin Kelly and his works. What kind of book is "Out of Control"? When "The Matrix" was filming, the director asked all crew members to read this book. If you want to understand web2 .0, it will be easier after reading "Out of Control". web2.0 is a manifestation of the honeycomb effect on the Internet..."

After talking about the basic ideas in the book and successfully arousing the interest of teachers and students in Kevin Kelly and "Out of Control", Song Weiyang suddenly poured cold water on him and said: "Now some people in the United States have turned out "Out of Control" to talk about things. , Kevin Kelly, like me, has become a tool for Wall Street capitalists to hype the concept of web2.0. I estimate that Kevin Kelly will be hyped soon in China, and even the bosses of domestic Internet companies will pay high prices for Kevin Kelly. Kelly invites you to have a dialogue. In the next few years, Kevin Kelly will be worshiped as a god who predicted the development of the Internet. However, all of you here are high-achieving students majoring in computer-related majors. You must not regard Kevin Kelly as a god. Although "Out of Control" is very interesting, it will not help you improve your professional ability. It is the right thing to learn the skills steadily. What "Out of Control" can provide is thinking inspiration, allowing you to jump out and look at the Internet from a higher level perspective .”

"Okay, my speech is over, let's ask questions freely, and you can ask any questions you have."

What the hell, is this the end?

Counting the time spent joking before, it only added up to more than 20 minutes!

Of course, the students couldn't take care of much anymore, and Hulala raised a large piece of their hands.

Song Weiyang randomly chose a higher one, and the student immediately said: "Senior, I am a freshman in Fudan Soft Academy. You said that everyone is a creator in the web2.0 era, does that mean that we programmers are Will it be less effective? Is it less dominant than it used to be?"

"No," Song Weiyang shook his head and said, "web2.0 heralds the spring of programmers, you will have more choices, and of course the competition will be more intense, because the number of programmers will increase exponentially. This Dai Girls with glasses, please ask."

The girl with glasses smiled and said, "Mr. Song, I'm a sophomore in Tongji Medical College. Do you think the web2.0 era has any special impact on medicine?"

Song Weiyang said: "Sorry, I can't answer this question. I can only say that it will be more convenient for you to search for information when you write your graduation thesis in the future. You can remotely search for many foreign professional thesis materials. Even after the development of video websites, you can use I observed the process of certain complex operations in detail. As for the development of medicine, I think we should focus on the fields of biology and chemistry, and the Internet can only be used as a very common auxiliary tool. This student with a down jacket in his hand, please ask questions.”

Chen Haibo was stunned: "Me? I'll just take a look."

"Then why did you raise your hand just now?" Song Weiyang said speechlessly.

Amidst the laughter of the crowd, Chen Haibo said: "Everyone is raising their hands, and I am also raising my hands to try my luck. Senior, did you really write "The Three-Body Problem"? I heard a lot of seniors say that .”

"I wrote it." Song Weiyang said.

Chen Haibo asked again: "You just wrote the beginning of the third part of "The Three-Body Problem", and it hasn't been updated for more than half a year. When will you finish writing it?"

"You ask me, who should I ask?" Song Weiyang said angrily.
