Tech Hammer

Soon, the other person replied "?" on WeChat, which was concise and concise, making people think.

But seeing this question mark, Zhang Yancheng felt that he had lost.

Also, no matter which direction he thought about it, he couldn't find a reason why Ning Wei chose to stay up most of the night and call him to tease him.

So he quickly replied: "Ninety percent sure?"

"Well, only ninety percent!"

"That's it. I'll go to the institute to invite you tomorrow?"

Zhang Yancheng may not have realized that he unconsciously used the honorific when chatting with Ning Wei. In school, he probably only used this title to his boss.

"Why is it so troublesome? What time do you go to the laboratory? I will go directly to you when I get there."

"We usually arrive at eight o'clock, but we still need some preparation time. You can just come over at nine o'clock."

"OK!"

After taking back the phone, Zhang Yancheng sighed.

"What's wrong?" my roommate asked.

"Mathematics is omnipotent!" Zhang Yancheng said with emotion.

"are you crazy!"

…

"Isn't it? Brother Zhang? Do you really believe that doctor in mathematics? He left at four o'clock yesterday afternoon and told you that the problem was solved at 11:30 in the evening. He just gave you a mathematical model. Do you really believe it?" In the laboratory Xiao Pan, the only graduate student, was complaining.

The main reason is that it’s too fast and it feels like a joke.

"That's right, Lao Zhang, I don't think it's very reliable. Is Ning Wei joking with us? Yesterday, he was acting like a curious baby in the laboratory. Please tell me you understand. I think he understands a little bit. , but I don’t understand that much! We had to repeatedly confirm the performance of some instruments, but the result was that the problem was solved one day after we returned, and the model we were sent seemed like a joke. What’s going on?" Ning Wei was deeply impressed. Lao Xu was also questioning.

"Brother Zhang, I also think we need to be more cautious. Is Ning Wei reliable?"

Zhang Yancheng smiled, but his face looked bitter, and his smile looked a little weird: "Oh, it seems that everyone is in good spirits today, so when Ning Wei comes, I will ask him to go back directly. Today you each come up with a plan. Tomorrow we will sort everyone according to their age and work on one plan a day. If it doesn’t work, go directly to the boss and report to the boss that we can’t complete this project, what do you think?”

As soon as this sentence was uttered, no one said a word.

Well, actually, Ning Wei, who was walking on the road, was also quickly verifying in his mind whether the calculation of March was correct.

After March's amazing move yesterday, Ning Wei tried again and replaced a project with the same type of material, leaving it to March for calculation. The difference is that this time, he used a published paper and blurred the data in it, allowing March to review the entire experimental process.

However, one night passed, and when Ning Wei got up in the morning, he excitedly ran to check, only to find that March had not yet given the results. After checking the overall calculation records in the background, March has already begun to verify the seventeenth set of plans drawn up by myself.

The previous sixteen sets of plans were all abandoned because they could not achieve the ideal model results for various reasons. Judging from the calculation process of the seventeenth set of plans, it was far from the smooth completion process in Ning Wei's mind.

This was like a ladle of cold water poured on Ning Wei's head. He originally thought that March's ability was extraordinary in optimizing choices. However, judging from the efficiency shown by March this time, he doubted that March could quickly complete Lao Zhang's project, or that there was an extremely rare experiment. It may be a coincidence, or there may be an error in the data. Fortunately, Ningwei is sensitive to data. After checking it again, he can probably judge that the possibility of data error is very small.

Then it's a laboratory coincidence.

However, blaming everything on March's coincidence in formulating the experimental process, combining scientific rigor with unreliable luck, made Ning Wei feel weird because he couldn't even tell that this was a project. The group's luck is still their own or the luck of March.

I slightly regretted notifying Zhang Yancheng too early yesterday, otherwise he would have had a few days to carefully analyze the data and make calculations, and then hand it over to March for re-verification. But I don’t have too much worry, after all, the success rate is still very high.

When he was approaching the materials science experimental building, Ning Wei sent a message to Zhang Yancheng. When he arrived at the door of the building, the senior fellow was already waiting for him at the door.

"Mr. Ning, here you are, everyone is waiting for you. To be honest, everyone in our project team is expecting you to create a miracle." Upon meeting, Zhang Yancheng gave Ning Wei a gift without hesitation. High hat.

"Well, let's wait until it's done." Ning Wei said noncommittally.

After all, the current politeness is temporary. If the experiment fails, Ning Wei thinks that Senior Brother Zhang will probably not be so good-tempered.

In fact, when Ning Wei walked into the laboratory, he could feel that what Senior Brother Zhang just said was bullshit.

Although no one was showing off, he could feel the atmosphere. If everyone had expectations, the atmosphere should be joyful and exciting, not like a high-pressure gas tank.

"Okay, let's get started. Senior Brother Pan is responsible for the first stage, right? The previous steps are the same, but in the fiber mixing stage, sample No. 2 and sample No. 3 are fused at the same time, and then gated with electrolyte Technology is used to perform electron injection and hole injection. Annealing does not require a 350°C annealing process, only a 500°C annealing process is required."

Ning Wei didn't waste any time and spoke directly.

The last demonstration laboratory took a full four hours. If the experiment is officially started, it will take even longer. For example, it takes nearly four hours to complete the entire annealing process. If you want to get the results today, you really have to hurry up.

"This..." Xiao Pan glanced at Zhang Yancheng, but still asked: "Dr. Ning, is there any theory or mathematical basis for this?"

Ning Wei said simply: "Yes, but it is troublesome to explain. Instead of wasting time, why don't you do it first. I will explain it to you slowly later."

"Xiao Pan, if you can come, I will." Zhang Yancheng said next to him.

"No, no, just come."

"Well, be careful, don't cause problems..." Ning Wei warned.

Don't be lucky if something goes wrong because of a human error, it won't be worth it.

"Use two more sets of samples, make both sets together, and keep records of every step." Zhang Yancheng explained again on the side.

"OK!"

…

Ning Wei couldn't get involved in the specific experimental process. However, he still observed it carefully. After all, these were rare experiences.

This time, Zhang Yancheng did not go about his own business. Instead, he stood next to Ning Wei and stared. This made Xiao Pan a little nervous. Fortunately, he had done the same thing many times. For a veteran, he was not nervous at all. As for what went wrong.

Just two hours later, Xiao Pan completed the previous steps, put the two sets of samples into the vacuum oven, and began to perform the annealing operation.

"OK, there should be no problem. I'll leave first. After the annealing is completed, we will process and test according to your previous steps. Notify me when the results come out." Seeing that Xiao Pan completed all the operations, he controlled the temperature After the device was adjusted to 500°C, Ning Wei spoke.

"Um... why don't you stay and wait? It's almost lunch. Why don't you leave after eating?" Zhang Yancheng said enthusiastically.

"It still doesn't work. To tell you the truth, our field director is urging me to complete the top youth project every day. I have wasted a day and a half for your project. I have to make up for it quickly." Ning Wei replied with a smile. .

After saying this, everyone in the entire project team fell silent and could not continue.

Some people can't see the slightest hint of deliberate showing off, but just such a low-key sentence makes people extremely depressed.

Looking at that face that still has not had time to completely fade away from youthfulness, he opened his mouth to recruit tens of thousands of people to plan a top-notch youth project. He couldn't find a good excuse to stay. His crushing strength made some people want to question it, but they didn't. Feel free to speak.

I just graduated from undergraduate degree, so I should be 23 years old at most, right? Hey, if a 23-year-old top-notch young man races against time to complete the project, wouldn’t he be able to apply for Outstanding Youth next year?

"Then, you'd better go ahead and get busy. We can't make the boss anxious." Zhang Yancheng swallowed and said.

"Well... OK, remember to let me know when you get the results." After saying that, Ning Wei turned around and left the laboratory.

After Ning Wei left, everyone's eyes fell on the vacuum electric oven and they were completely silent.

"What a top-notch young man... We don't know if we will have this opportunity in this life." Old Xu sighed, touched his head, and suddenly felt that the loss of his hair was not worth it.

"Okay, don't sigh. We don't understand other people's world. Thank God if we can finish this project first. Speaking of which, if this experiment is really successful and I finish writing the paper, I will be embarrassed to put myself on it. It's over." Zhang Yancheng said in a muffled voice.

Everyone in the project team was stunned...

Yes, no one thought about this problem just now. If this project is really successful if it follows the steps instructed by Ning Wei, who gets the special credit?

After all, people are no longer as simple as giving a math report. They come directly to teach them how to operate. Seriously speaking, if the problem is never solved, it is possible that the project will be sealed, so whose It’s really hard to say whether the credit is greater.

"Well, even if it succeeds, Dr. Ning shouldn't care about our small achievements, right?" Xiao Pan said hesitantly.

"Don't think too far ahead. It's still a matter of time and money. Let's wait until these batches of samples come out and are tested." Lao Xu said gloomily.

…

Ning Wei really didn't know that a random reason he came up with actually made several people in the project team start to feel collectively depressed.

To be honest, as for him, he doesn’t really care about the titles of Top Young and Outstanding Youth. Anyway, it’s just a casual comment. After all, he just has a bachelor’s degree and hasn’t even finished the political class. It’s hard to say that he has to rush. Graduation thesis.

He had just walked downstairs to the laboratory when his cell phone rang. He glanced at it and saw it was from his old acquaintance, Mr. Yan from Huawei. Ning Wei quickly answered the call.

"Hello, Mr. Yan, what's the matter?" Ning Wei asked.

"Hello, Mr. Ning, I am calling you to inform you that the company has already sent you the revenue from the turbulence algorithm software version from April to August. The specific turbulence algorithm chip licensing fee needs to be settled next month. The settlement can only be made after the third quarter's revenue is received. Mr. Ning remembers to check it. In addition, the specific report has been sent to your mailbox. If you have any questions, you can call me directly. "

"Oh, how much does it cost?" Ning Wei asked.

"After tax is deducted, it is about 740 million, and the tax payment is about 180 million. You can check the specific tax situation on the personal income tax APP next month." The other person replied.

"Uh? There are so many?" Ning Wei was a little confused.

After all, according to what was said before, Ning Wei felt that the biggest benefit of the turbulence algorithm should be in the licensing of algorithm chips. The specific software deployment was through low-cost promotion. He never expected that it would be able to bring benefits to him in just five months. Revenue of more than 700 million.

"Ahem, this is mainly because the algorithm is very effective. Several large domestic and foreign cloud service providers have obtained authorizations in the early stage. In addition, some large service providers are more interested in the preferential policies launched in the early stage, such as China Railway Corporation We have purchased the right to use it for ten years at a time with several major airlines. You can check the report for the specific situation."

"Okay, thank you, Mr. Yan." Ning Wei thanked him.

"By the way, there is one more thing. I mentioned it to you last time. Recently, when we were negotiating with users in many countries such as Europe and the United States, we have discovered that imitations of similar software and hardware equipment with algorithm chips have appeared on the market. We The legal department has begun preparing to file a patent lawsuit, but I remember last time Mr. Ning seemed to have said that there were ways to respond to this kind of piracy, so..."

"I almost forgot about this in my busy schedule. I will send you a demonstration video later. You can demonstrate it to your customers. If the turbulence algorithm software or chip that uses our core program is not activated with a specific activation code, it will Some very strange things happened. For example, the software stopped working. I don't know how the other party's hardware equipment is laid out. If it is more serious, it can directly cause the entire system to stop working." Ning Wei replied.

"Ah?! Well, Mr. Ning, are you saying that there is a backdoor deliberately left in the core code of the turbulence algorithm?" Yan Ming's voice became obviously nervous.

This is a big joke, a standard way of killing eight hundred people and injuring one thousand people.

"Yes! However, Huawei's products will not have backdoors. My main job is to study mathematics. Making algorithms is just for fun. So when writing the core program, I added a few special pieces of code, which are indeed similar to backdoors. program, but before you burn the code into the chip, you need to activate it on our EDA software after completing the packaging."

"After receiving the activation command, the code that hides the backdoor in the core code will automatically streamline itself according to the set function results, so there is absolutely no problem with the certified product. If you do not go through this step, or modify the code without authorization For products that have been modified and then burned directly, as long as the backdoors left in the original code are not deleted, there are really backdoors.”
