Tech Hammer

When Lu Dongyi walked out of the office, he was in a trance.

It wasn't that Ning Wei spent two hours explaining the entire mathematical idea to him, which was too tiring, but that he found that his world view had been overturned by his junior brother.

Even when he discussed the NS equation with his junior brother in Jiangcheng and Yancheng before, it never gave him such a shock.

Because the theoretical knowledge Ningwei displayed just now is enough to be described as dazzling.

And he can't associate it now, because as long as he thinks of the mathematical ideas contained in it, it can be compared with P=NP? The combination of this or the most difficult mathematical problem in the universe was enough to make his mind freeze.

That's all, but in the eyes of the initiator, this is only a phased achievement. If it wasn't stimulated by something, he didn't even plan to separate out this part of the results and write a paper.

This must be due to Ning Wei's misunderstanding of the term "staged results". In fact, in Lu Dongyi's view, the so-called top youth research project is already ready for a final report. Then send it directly to the review team for review. The only problem is probably that the project review has not officially started yet, so Ning Wei’s top-notch youth research project has not yet been officially approved.

Well, this is probably the first time in Lu Dongyi's life that the applicant has completed the project in advance before the project has been approved, without even realizing it.

This mode of thinking made Lu Dongyi think of a joke.

A physicist is like a traveler who knows his destination but doesn't know which car to take to get there; a mathematician is like a driver who has a car but doesn't know where he is going.

Well, now he felt like that driver who didn't know where to go.

I happened to meet a professor who came to the hospital to do business, and said hello from the other side, "Hey, Professor Lu, where are you going?"

Lu Dongyi shook his head blankly and replied: "I don't know, I just walked around casually. I feel that this yard can no longer accommodate me. I have to slow down."

"Can't tolerate you? Who can't tolerate you?" The professor was a little confused. After all, Lu Dongyi seemed to be in a very bad state.

"Ning Wei's big data migration theory makes me a little dizzy. Although it is really difficult to put it into practice at present, because it requires the entire industry chain to reset the standards for his theory, such as Storm, Streaming big data computing platforms including Hadoop and Spark will have to be eliminated, but if his theory can be completed as he ideally would, in the future, big data platforms around the world may be based on his theory and rebuild. Construct."

After almost subconsciously speaking out his thoughts on the issues in his mind, Lu Dongyi raised his legs and passed by the professor, leaving the professor standing there in confusion.

…

There is a saying, why does every university have a mathematics college? Because this can save the country a lot of money in treating mentally ill patients in hospitals. Lu Dongyi's current state probably proves how correct this statement is.

When a person falls into a state of confusion, he often really doesn’t know what he is doing, and everything is a subconscious reaction.

It is like a famous literary image in the handed down works of a master-level writer in modern China who liked to talk nonsense. Xianglin Sister-in-law; Lu Dongyi at this time is very similar to the tragic image in this literary work.

God knows how many people he met while wandering around the yard, and how many times he subconsciously repeated what he said just now. Anyway, at least half of the people in the yard were knocked unconscious at this time.

However, Lu Dongyi was not alone in this state.

There is another doctor in Jiangcheng University who is in a similar state to Lu Dongyi at this time.

That's right, it's Yu Xingwei.

After Lu Changbin hung up Ning Wei's call, he called Yu Xingwei to the office and said straight to the point: "Xiao Yu, pack up and book a ticket to the capital in the next two days to find Ning Wei."

"Ah? What are you going to do with Mr. Xiao Ning?" Yu Xingwei asked confused.

"Ning Wei has never communicated with you before?" Lu Changbin asked as he looked at his disciple with a very complicated expression.

Yu Xingwei looked confused and replied: "No. I was afraid that Mr. Xiao Ning would be very busy when he went to Yanbei University, so I didn't talk to him much. Sometimes I asked him questions, and he had several questions. I didn’t get back until he was young, so I tried to disturb him as little as possible. I haven’t talked about anything at all in the past few days.”

"oh!"

Lu Changbin nodded, and then said: "I just called Ning Wei. He has researched a new theory. I hope you can use his theory to select a doctoral topic, and then cooperate with him to do some specific work and help you win You are qualified to give a report at the STOC conference in September. He didn’t ask you to go so early. He may be preparing to communicate with you remotely, complete some work, and help you graduate within half a year.”

"But I think since Ningwei is willing to give you this opportunity, don't miss it. Although the Internet is now developed, face-to-face communication is definitely much more efficient than remote communication. So why don't you just go over there and figure things out? Come back. Or you can just stay in the capital and help. Anyway, I will write my doctoral thesis wherever I go. Don’t be afraid to spend money, keep the receipt, and the lab will reimburse you when you come back."

Yu Xingwei nodded blankly. The amount of information was a bit large and he had not yet been able to fully digest it.

Looking at his disciple's stupid look, Lu Changbin couldn't help but explain: "Yu Xingwei, you must seize this opportunity. I probably heard Ning Wei describe his project. If you can really follow Ning Wei , if the project is done well, it is not impossible for you to win the Turing Award in the future. But if you cannot seize the opportunity, you will have to be an helpless person for the rest of your life. Remember, luck is very important It’s important, but if you don’t work hard to seize the luck you have, it would be better to never have that luck. Do you understand?”

Yu Xingwei nodded quickly and replied: "Understood! Thank you boss, I will book the tickets today, then go back to pack my things and leave early tomorrow morning."

"Okay, go ahead. Remember to find someone to hand over the matter at hand." Lu Changbin waved away Yu Xingwei, watched his beloved disciple walk to the door, and reminded him: "By the way, remember to bring your passport and so on." Bring them all with you. If the STOC conference really sends an invitation letter, you can apply for a visa directly in Beijing. If you need any information here, call us and we will fax it to you!"

"Okay, boss!"

…

In this way, Yu Xingwei, who walked out of Lu Changbin's office, also fell into Lu Dongyi's state.

The only difference is that he was not academically shocked, or was so severely hit that he doubted his academic level. It was simply because the good news came too much and too quickly at once, causing his brain to start to There is an outage.

And he didn't wander around, he just returned to the laboratory downstairs in a daze, sat in front of his work station, and stared at the display screen in front of him in a daze.

The doctor brother next to me can't stand it anymore. Isn't this fishing too fair?

The laboratory projects have been rushed recently and everyone is busy. You went to the boss and pretended to be dead when you came back. How could everyone be happy?

"I said Yu Xingwei, what are you thinking about? Hurry up and work! If you can't finish today, everyone has to work overtime! Arsenal will play Blackpool tonight, and we have all agreed to go to a bar outside to watch the game. of!"

"Ah? Work? What do I do?" Yu Xingwei asked blankly, looking at the angry friends around him, his eyes couldn't even see the focus.

"Are you stupid or are you pretending to be stupid? The demand order was just issued today, and you ask me what I do? What were you doing just now?" The friend was angry.

"Oh, just now, the boss just asked me to go to the capital to meet with Mr. Xiao Ning. Because Mr. Xiao Ning has studied a new theory, he hopes that I will use his theory to determine the topic of my doctoral degree and complete it as soon as possible, so he asked me to go over and talk to Xiao Ning. Communicate with Mr. Ning. By the way, Mr. Xiao Ning will take me to give a report at the STOC conference. My boss suggested that I follow Mr. Xiao Ning to work hard and try to graduate with a doctorate in half a year."

"What should I do? What if I can't graduate with my Ph.D. in half a year and can't work on projects with Mr. Xiao Ning in the capital, and I fail to live up to the love of my boss and Mr. Xiao Ning? What should I do? The boss said that I would follow Mr. Xiao Ning. Well done, maybe I can win the Turing Award in the future." Yu Xingwei said dreamily.

In fact, Yu Xingwei's voice was not very loud, but unfortunately the closed environment of the laboratory did not require a loud voice for everyone to hear what he was saying, so the next moment, there was a rhythmic "Pah, pah, pah..." The sound of typing on the keyboard gradually disappeared, replaced by sharp swords shooting at Yu Xingwei's eyes.

Really, if looks could kill, Yu Xingwei would have been killed for at least thirty minutes. After all, this guy had a criminal record, and no one believed that he was just talking unconsciously in his sleep.

After a long while, the friend next to Yu Xingwei finally reacted: "Lao Yu, what did you just say? Do you dare to say it again?"

"Ah? What are you saying again?" The resentful voice finally made Yu Xingwei's mind clearer, and then he suddenly found that he had become the focus of more than a dozen people in the laboratory.

"Going to give a report at the STOC conference? Graduating a doctorate in half a year? Winning the Turing Award?" Another friend joined the ranks of the condemnation, saying these two sentences with gritted teeth.

After waking up slightly, Yu Xingwei started his performance with the instinct he had developed over a year: "Huh? How do you know this? Oh, by the way, I need to book a ticket quickly to go to the capital to meet Xiao Ning. Total pooled tickets.”

"Don't stare at me like this. In fact, I don't want to be like this. You should all know me well. How could I be willing to leave the friends I have worked with? It's just that I can't refuse the arrangement of the big guys, but you Don't worry about me. When I arrive in the capital, I will follow everyone in the group to report my safety and my itinerary. By the way, I can't go to the football match tonight. You know, I have to pack my luggage. This time I may go there very soon. Long, I need to bring a lot of things..."

The laboratory was quiet for a moment...

Then I don’t know who asked: “Do you want to fight or not?”

"beat!"

"Drag him out and strip the pig naked!"

"Hey... stop making trouble... are you serious? Help..."

…

Yanbei University.

"Hello, Professor Lu."

The timid cry made Lu Dongyi's chaotic brain gradually wake up, and then he saw the girl in front of him who looked a little embarrassed.

Although he was far away that night and did not see the girl's appearance clearly, but based on Ning Wei's description, he knew that the girl in front of him was Jiang Chenshuang, a non-professional pianist he had been friends with for a year.

Lu Dongyi's eyes subconsciously fell down on the girl's hand. It was obvious that the girl was a little nervous, her hands were twisted together, and her fingers were still red and swollen that would not fade away in the future.

This made him speak softly when he answered subconsciously: "Oh, are you classmate Jiang? What's the matter?"

"The counselor called me and asked me to come find Professor Tian at this time, but I don't know where Professor Tian's office is?" Jiang Chenshuang asked timidly.

The voice is not loud, slightly soft, but very clear. The Mandarin is not very standard, but it is enough for communication. When speaking, the eyes always glance down unconsciously. This is a sign of not being confident enough in oneself. Wringing the hands together shows that the heart is very deep. nervous.

A lot of things flashed in Lu Dongyi's mind for a moment. As for the girl's appearance, he didn't pay much attention to it. He just felt that when the girl lowered her head, she could see that her eyelashes were very long and trembling slightly, and she looked very comfortable.

"Oh, that's it, it's okay, I'll take you there!" Lu Dongyi said.

"No, don't bother me. Just tell me which building it is. I can find it myself." Jiang Chenshuang said quickly.

"It's okay. In fact, speaking of it, it was really thanks to your piano sound last time that it gave me the inspiration to solve a very difficult problem. I never found a chance to thank you. This time it will be even if I show you the way. .And I happen to have something I want to talk to Director Tian.”

Lu Dongyi said something, and then started to lead the way.

"Thank you, Professor Lu." The girl carefully followed Lu Dongyi, just half a body behind.

The two of them walked in silence like this. There was nothing they could do. Lu Dongyi was not the kind of person who was very talkative.

It was too awkward to walk together in silence like this. Lu Dongyi suddenly thought that he could put in a few good words for Ning Wei, so he said: "By the way, it was our junior brother who was abrupt that night, but he didn't have any bad intentions. He was purely It was because I told him that he had been inspired by hearing you play the piano before, so he wanted to help me thank the pianist in person. When we decided to go and have a look, we didn't even know whether you were a boy or a girl. "

"Hmm!" The girl behind him responded cautiously.

Lu Dongyi sighed in his heart, but it was even less than what he said.

"Hey... I really didn't mean to say that to appease you. I still remember that night you played the piano arrangement of "You Must Be Happy" over and over again. But at that time, you were not proficient enough in playing, and the rhythm seemed to be lacking. There are some problems. Just because of that time...I, um, I took my junior brother to listen to you play the piano for a long time!"

"Oh, by the way, I think he can really change the world!"

"Um?"
