Tech Hammer

A long journey is always boring, especially when you have to stay in a closed cabin for more than ten hours. Even if it's business class, it can actually put your feet up more comfortably.

Moreover, the return journey does not have the same excitement as the departure, and it is easy for people to fall into laziness and boredom.

This was obviously the case for Yu Xingwei at this time.

For him, this trip to the United States was rewarding, and very rewarding.

At least I have gained more knowledge. Next time I go to give a report or something, I can also write down my identity as a special guest at the world's top computer algorithm conference in the introduction column. It is no exaggeration to say that with this alone, he has instantly killed 99% of the doctors in the country.

But thinking about it carefully while sitting on the plane, he still felt lonely and had a lingering feeling of lack of interest.

His eyes fell on Ning Wei beside him. On the plane, Ning Wei was still teasing the cute kitten in his notebook that he named "March".

Interactions are simple and childish.

Most of the time, one person and one cat stare at each other...

Occasionally, the kitten will wave its paws and meow weakly.

Ridiculously boring.

"Mr. Xiao Ning, to be honest, you actually designed such a kitten, right? Life in the laboratory is too boring, and pets are not allowed. You don't have a girlfriend, and daily life is too boring, so you gave it to me. I designed an exclusive electronic pet for psychological adjustment, right?"

Yu Xingwei asked. He felt that he was very wise at this moment and had seen through the little thoughts of a genius.

As the originator of artificial intelligence, it is all about enhancing the atmosphere. In essence, this cat is no different from the so-called electronic pets in the past. At most, it is more refined.

From his professional point of view, if the kitten's series of reactions to external stimuli were realized by artificial intelligence, it would be outrageous. For example, asking a machine that understands the world through binary numbers to produce a reaction similar to curiosity is probably more difficult than asking it to calculate a super large Mersenne number.

But it would be much simpler to use programming language to limit specific reactions to specific conditions. He is not bragging. Give him a month, and he can basically design an electronic pet that can follow the mouse.

Even so, Yu Xingwei didn't feel ashamed after being teased. He felt that he would rather be closer to a mortal who could be approached.

After all, geniuses are really awesome, but mortals can only boast.

When these words fell into Ning Wei's ears, he was stunned, and then he looked at Yu Xingwei with a complicated and unspeakable look, thought about it, and then simply replied: "It's over, Brother Yu saw through it, I'm sorry of."

"Ha ha……"

…

With this little episode, Yu Xingwei felt less sleepy all the way.

After all, being able to bring a little grievance to a genius who is almost recognized around the world, the sense of accomplishment is also unparalleled. Didn’t you see that the female doctor from Harvard could only feel embarrassed in front of Ning Wei?

And he is now considered a man who can see through the behavior of geniuses.

Maybe in the future he can specialize in the psychology of genius?

I feel happy just thinking about it.

The plane landed at the Beijing Airport, and he received the baggage declaration form before going through customs, and filled it out truthfully that he had purchased a laptop worth more than US$5,000. Prepare to pay the customs duties honestly and then leave.

At this time, an accident happened. Ning Wei was recognized by the customs lady. She asked with surprise: "Ning Wei? Is the SODA conference over now? Are you back so soon? Why don't you stay in the United States for two more days?" "

Yu Xingwei, who has been in the United States these days and is still not sure what is happening on the domestic Internet, was confused for a moment...

When did the ladies from the customs begin to pay attention to such a highly professional academic conference?

In fact, Yu Xingwei had the opportunity to know about the domestic Internet trend in advance, but who let this guy do Versailles in the group every day? A group of people were already beaten hard by him, who would take the initiative to provide him with materials?

Ning Wei was not much better. Being suddenly recognized at the customs was something he never expected. After all, he was not a celebrity, but he still answered honestly: "Well, the meeting ended yesterday. In fact, there have been many Stayed for a day."

"That's it! Thank you for bringing honor to our country! I saw the complaints made by foreigners about your speech, it's so funny!"

Yu Xingwei wanted to correct the customs lady. It was not a speech, but a serious academic report, but she didn't even look at him, so he gave up.

Okay, as long as the little sister is happy.

"What a pity. It's working time now and I can't take a photo with you. Please sign your autograph for me later!"

"Okay!" Ning Wei agreed.

Really, he had just achieved zero breakthrough in the experience of being asked for autographs by fans. Apart from nodding his head in agreement, he couldn't think of any other way to deal with it.

"Let me see, oh, you bought a laptop in the United States, right? I want to ask, I think this computer has been dismantled, so it is for your own use, right?" asked the customs lady.

"Yes, I designed a program, but the configuration of the laptop I brought was a bit poor and couldn't run it, so I bought one temporarily."

"The packaging and everything is thrown away in the United States, right?"

"Ah, yes." Ning Wei was a little stunned. Do you need to ask in such detail?

"Oh, then this laptop does not need to pay customs duties. According to our relevant regulations, if the passenger can prove that the purchased items are for personal use and there is no possibility of secondary sales, they can be exempted from customs duties."

"Well...that's great, thank you." Ning Wei thanked her sincerely.

"Next time you go abroad, you will continue to win glory for us!"

"Yeah, definitely!" Ning Wei replied with a blushing face.

"Come, sign here... and here..."

"OK."

He blushed because the compliment made him feel worthy of it. He didn't go to the Olympics and get a medal. Where did he come from that he said he was bringing honor to his country?

After signing his name twice with full of doubts, Ning Wei stood aside and waited for Yu Xingwei.

"Ahem, um, actually I am also one of the special guests at this SODA meeting."

"Huh? You also gave a speech on stage?"

"Well, no, but when Ningwei gave an academic report, I sat in the front row less than three meters away from him!"

"Oh, then you have to work harder in the future! Learn from Ningwei!"

"Um……"

This reaction is so bland...

Yu Xingwei brought a few clothes, which were not of high value, and quickly completed the inspection. Before leaving, the young lady waved to Ning Wei: "Goodbye, classmate Ning Wei, you are the best!"

"goodbye!"

He walked forward confused, and then heard a vague voice of questioning coming from behind.

"Well, I brought two laptops, both for my own use..."

"You still have the packaging for your own use? The person in front of you has lost all the packaging in the United States, and the computer has been used, so it can be basically judged that there is no possibility of secondary sales. You can't do this!"

"Isn't this different treatment?"

"Treat it differently? I am handling it strictly in accordance with relevant regulations."

The gentle voice of the young lady just now turned out to be very cold. Even if there was someone beside her who was helping her...

"That's right, someone went to the United States to bring glory to the country and bought a laptop to do a project, but when they came back, they took the initiative to report it and prepare to pay tariffs. You have money to go to the United States for half a month just to play, and you want to take advantage of the country when you come back? Excuse me?"

…

Hearing this, Ning Wei quickened his pace...

What's happening here?

"Well, Brother Yu, is the SODA Conference broadcast live in China like the Olympic Games?" Ning Wei couldn't help but ask after walking out of customs.

"Have you watched the live broadcast before?"

Ning Wei shook his head.

"Maybe the school did some publicity?" Yu Xingwei guessed.

Of course, he also knew that this guess was not reliable. If the school could make Ning Wei recognized by the customs girl through casual publicity, then how intense the publicity would be. The key is that it doesn't make much sense, and I've never seen any school do this before.

"Forget it, let's hurry up and check in first." Yu Xingwei shook his head.

The next two hours probably convinced the two of them that Ning Wei was really popular in China recently.

Just waiting for the plane, three groups of people came to ask for autographs, including a middle-aged uncle who insisted on taking a photo with Ning Wei. After the photo was taken, he thanked Ning Wei profusely.

"I don't have time to take care of that little bastard in my family. He's only in junior high school. His ideal is to become a big Internet celebrity and make a lot of money in the future. Is this the ideal of a normal child? I won't say that I want to be a scientist. At least I am determined to do it. It’s okay to be a policeman and catch bad guys! Fortunately, your video became popular. This guy told me yesterday that he wanted to be admitted to Jiangsu University and become a top academic internet celebrity! You really don’t know how I felt at that time..."

"I will send this group photo to my wife later, and ask her to keep it for my son. I want him to follow your example. If the child succeeds in the future, I will go to the temple to pray for you every year..."

…

After the uncle left, Ning Wei and Yu Xingwei looked at each other.

Fortunately, the chatty uncle revealed a lot of information, and Yu Xingwei took out his mobile phone and started surfing the Internet.

Then I saw an overwhelming number of translation posts on the Internet, as well as short videos made with these translation posts, and also saw a group of fans on the school's official WeChat account. The netizens were so talented that they all looked like they were talking about cross talk. The declaration of actively applying for the exam made Yu Xingwei wonder whether Jiang University had to start preparations to build more student dormitories.

Really, if people who don’t know the truth read it, they will probably have the illusion that Jiangsu University has risen to the point where it can trample all Tsinghua University and Peking University under its feet.

After all, the world's most low-key school must not live up to its name.

After reading this information, the two looked at each other.

"Um...you can still use your mobile phone to take photos and record videos at this conference and send them out at will?" Ning Wei was very surprised.

"This is not a confidential conference. Papers submitted to the conference will be entered into cooperative journals after the conference for everyone around the world to query, download, and quote. Who cares whether the participants are using their mobile phones during the conference? Besides, these people all admit that they don’t understand, so what else can they do if you don’t let them play with their mobile phones?” Yu Xingwei replied dully.

They were only three meters apart, but it was like a natural chasm.

All videos and photos on the Internet are taken from back to front. In other words, if you can see Ning Wei's audio and video materials from the front, you can only see the backs of the heads in the front row. He is probably the only one who is so bored that he can roughly tell which part of the back of his head belongs to him based on where he sits...

No wonder the customs lady recognized Ning Wei at a glance but had no impression of him.

Who knows the sadness of being one of the participants but becoming the backdrop? Who knows.

"oh!"

Ning Wei nodded, adjusted his sitting posture, raised his collar higher, and lowered his head. This should reduce the possibility of being recognized, right?

This is probably the treatment that many people dream of, but for a person who is obsessed with academics, it is probably just a trouble.

Yu Xingwei glanced at Ning Wei and sighed in his heart, this is probably life. Some people just can't get what they dream of. Some people don't want the so-called heat, but someone has to give it...

Look at Ning Wei suffering...

So, Yu Xingwei said piously: "Ahem, Mr. Xiao Ning, leave it to me to handle such matters in the future. You can't always be entangled alone. I am willing to help you share this pain."

"No problem. When we get back, I will suggest that our boss Lu send you to our mathematics institute to further your studies. You will definitely be able to do it. Come on, Brother Yu!"

"I... So what, let's forget it? Mr. Xiao Ning, thank you! Hey, I said boss, and the boss called..."

"Okay, okay, got it."

"He's right next to me? Do you want to say a few words to him?"

"Oh, okay, hang up now, see you boss!"

After hanging up the phone, Yu Xingwei looked at Ning Wei and sighed: "Mr. Xiao Ning, this is a serious matter! You have to be mentally prepared!"

"Huh? What preparations?"

"When we get off the plane later, thanks to you, we can go to the legendary VIP channel! Also, think carefully about what to say when we get off the plane!"

…

Yes, when the plane landed at Jiangcheng Airport, Ning Wei, who walked out of the VIP channel under the guidance of the airport staff, immediately saw a luxurious pick-up lineup.

The principal, dean, Director Lu, and reportedly the leaders of the city and the Education Bureau were all there, and of course there were definitely no shortage of reporters carrying equipment.

The most exaggerated thing is that the school also made a banner that read, "Warmly welcome the eternal sons of Jiang Da, Ning Wei and Yu Xingwei, to return from the United States with honors!"

This row of noodles...

Yu Xingwei really burst into tears at that moment!

At the critical moment, the school did not forget him, even if he only contributed the back of his head.

The pinnacle of life!

However……

"Ning Wei, congratulations! Come, let me introduce you. This is Song Caijin, the deputy mayor of Jiangcheng City. This is Lou Changbing, the director of our Jiangcheng City Education Bureau. This is from the Provincial Department of Science and Technology..."

The Department of Science and Technology, the Computer Society, the Algorithm Society... all the big guys gathered here.

"Classmate Ning Wei, your performance in participating in the meeting this time was very good. Please keep up the good work!"

"I have just listened to your school leaders' report on your deeds. If you have any problems in doing research in the future, feel free to mention them. The heads of the Education Bureau and the Science and Technology Department are here today. I also want to express my opinion that rejuvenating the country through science and education will never be possible in Jiangcheng. It’s just words, but it must be put into practice and adhere to the long-term policy of development! If you have any difficulties in scientific research that are difficult to solve, just ask them! We must do a good job in serving outstanding scientific researchers!”

On the way home today, I suddenly tripped and fell. I looked back to see what I tripped over. Oh, it turned out to be the foot of Japanese Olympic gold medalist Daiki Hashimoto that went out of bounds.
