Tech Hammer

After the meeting, Jiang Chenshuang declined the school leader's repeated invitations to have dinner together, and directly found her sister who was still reviewing in the classroom, preparing to leave Luopu County and head to the provincial capital first to catch tomorrow's flight.

Luopu County is located in a mountainous area and there is no train connection yet, so you have to take a bus to Yuanguang City, which is the closest to Luopu, and then take a five-hour green train to the provincial capital to catch a plane, so you can only choose to arrive in advance. Set off.

Fortunately, the school arranged a car to take the two sisters to Yuan Guang. Jiang Chenlu was probably the most excited during this journey. As soon as she finished cooking in the car, the girl excitedly asked: "Sister, tell me, what is your brother-in-law doing?" What kind of person is he?"

This question made Jiang Chenshuang feel a little dazed. After thinking about it carefully, she said seriously: "Your sister-in-law is very nice and attentive, but sometimes her way of expressing herself is different from other people's."

"Oh! Then how should I get along with my brother-in-law when I arrive in the capital so as not to annoy him?" Jiang Chenlu nodded and asked again.

"You just need to watch him concentrate on thinking about the problem and don't disturb him." Jiang Chenshuang thought for a while and replied. Ning Wei seemed to have no other taboos except this.

"That's for sure. My brother-in-law is a great scientist. I definitely can't disturb him when he's doing research. Sister, how did you get together with such a super guy like your brother-in-law? You're so lucky, right? ?" Jiang Chenlu continued to ask enthusiastically.

Jiang Chenshuang glared at the girl next to her: "You are a brat, why do you care about this? I asked you to go to the capital to study hard."

"I got it, sister! I'm just asking casually. I'm a little excited when I think about meeting that careful and kind brother-in-law you talk about soon! By the way, sister, that threesome who is so famous online now Does Professor Yue also know my brother-in-law?"

Jiang Chenshuang was stunned when he mentioned March. Speaking of which, she is probably the most confused person about this news these days, because she is probably the person who knows the most about how powerful March is in the world besides Ning Wei.

She even knew that the text of the paper in March was Ning Wei's masterpiece, but she didn't quite understand Ning Wei's purpose of doing this, so she could only shake her head and warned: "I don't know about this, and I can't help with academic matters. What about him? He has his own circle, and I have never asked about these things. When you arrive in the capital, remember not to ask about these messy things, and just focus on your studies. "

"Oh! I think my brother-in-law must know such a powerful person, but he just won't tell me. Don't worry, sister, I won't make people uncomfortable, and I will never ask questions that I shouldn't ask!"

"Ah That's good!"

…

"Brother Yu, don't ask too much about some things. Don't worry, I won't harm you. I'm not asking you to publicly announce that you are Professor March. I'm just saying that if someone really gets involved in this matter, you What you have to do is not to admit it but not to deny it at the same time. It would be better if you could pretend to make a mistake on certain occasions and make people mistakenly think that you are the legendary Professor March."

While the two sisters were chatting about Ning Wei, Ning Wei was explaining things to Yu Xingwei.

To be honest, Yu Xingwei felt confused when he received Ning Wei's call.

Since the whole situation started to ferment on the Internet, Yu Xingwei's attitude was just silently paying attention. There were also a lot of discussions about Professor March in the major WeChat groups he stayed in. His mentor, Academician Lu Changbin, also called him specifically to ask him Do you know the situation of Professor March?

How dare Yu Xingwei speak nonsense about such a sensitive issue? He was even very glad that he never mentioned to anyone that Ningwei had developed an artificial mentally retarded cat named March. Otherwise, it would be a lot of fun once the news comes out in March. People’s ability to associate is always very powerful.

So this time, no matter how lively the discussion was in the group or how many people @him wanted to hear his opinion, he ignored it at all.

Although I don’t know what my boss is planning, since Ning Wei doesn’t use his own name but uses the name of March to publish the paper, there is a reason for Ning Wei. If Ningwei is willing to tell him, he will naturally know. If he would rather not say anything, he would be too lazy to show his curiosity in this kind of thing.

As a lucky doctoral student, his most important task now is to write a doctoral thesis, graduate successfully, and run Mr. Xiao Ning’s supercomputing center. With the convenience of managing the supercomputing center, he can also provide theoretical guidance for Ningwei’s research. Next, do your own scientific research project and study real artificial intelligence. This is Yu Xingwei’s life plan for himself.

Yu Xingwei no longer thinks about whether he can win the award or how far he can go in the future. At different stages of life, it is most important to grasp the main contradictions at each stage and resolve them.

For example, his current task is to thoroughly understand the supercomputing center and complete his doctoral thesis. As for the question of who Professor March is, and why Ning Wei puts the name March to the forefront, Yu Xingwei is not interested at all. interest.

But he never expected that when the online public opinion was at its worst, Ning called him back to the institute with a phone call, and then arranged such a grand proposition for him. As a last resort, he pretended to be Professor March...

This made Yu Xingwei really feel a little weak.

Look at the character of Professor March. He is proficient in many aspects of mathematics. His recent paper published in the "American Mathematical Society" was praised by a group of people. How can he not be praised? What others don't know but Yu Xingwei doesn't know is that it was something developed by Ning Wei's genius brain. If his mathematics level were so strong, he would also directly learn mathematics. What kind of computer?

"No, Mr. Xiao Ning, isn't Professor March a woman?" Yu Xingwei said distressedly.

"So in order to hide your true identity from me, you deliberately said that you were a woman. There is nothing wrong with your logic." Ning Wei blinked and replied.

"Then your paper is so profound and my mathematical level is limited..." Yu Xingwei continued.

"So you have to study harder, and your math level is definitely good enough. Basically, you can get above 80% for advanced mathematics and advanced mathematics. As long as you don't have serious academic discussions with others, no one can." I've exposed you. And you may not need it yet, so don't be afraid." Ning Wei replied seriously.

"Then...okay." Yu Xingwei nodded, but of course he still felt unsure.

"By the way, how is the handover going at the supercomputing center?" Ning Wei asked again after talking about the key points.

"It's okay. I've been doing data migration work during the holidays. Now the data migration work is almost done. If we follow the current progress, it should take another three to five days to complete the entire data migration work. Because not every customer can I can contact you. In order not to delay the handover, the other party rented some storage space outside to back up the unmigrated data." Yu Xingwei replied quickly.

This is good news. Ning Wei feels a little headache every time he thinks about how this little guy will pull the countdown alarm clock when he sees March every day.

He has determined that after moving to a new home for March, the first thing he will do is to analyze the original driver that March's classmate has always been obsessed with high storage and high computing power.

"That's fine. Tell the other party that if the data migration is completed in advance, we can advance the transaction date." Ning Wei had to explain again.

"Okay, Mr. Xiao Ning, I just hope that the situations you mentioned will not happen and that Professor Yue Yue will not be so angry." Yu Xingwei said with a wry smile.

This question made Ning Wei a little confused, because he didn't know whether those big guys in the West would really be able to open their minds so much that they could directly promote Professor March to the position of winning the Wolf Lifetime Achievement Award. There are two ways Different results correspond to different expectations.

Fortunately, the public opinion on the Internet is developing in the direction that Yu Xingwei expects. The reason is simple. Just when Ning Wei took Yu Xingwei to dinner, the 2022 Nobel Prize winners were finally announced on the 6th. Today, the Swedish Royal Science and Technology Committee announced this year’s Nobel Prize winners in Chemistry. Paul Alivisatos, Chad Mirkin and Nadrian Seaman.

The reason why the three won the Nobel Prize is that they developed a method to control the structure of molecules and materials on the 1-100nm scale. The tools developed by the three have been widely used in chemistry, biosensing, lithography, optics and catalysis. and other fields. How can I put it, the announcement of the Nobel Prize can always easily steal everyone's limelight at this stage. Even the mysterious Professor March could only give way at this time.

There is no way it can be the most famous award in the world. Even if the final selection results of the Nobel Prize in social and humanities awards every year always give people a joke, it is undeniable that it always naturally gets the most traffic and attention. So on the Internet, people in their circle of friends began to speculate on which scientists the other Nobel Prizes would eventually be awarded this year. The most talked-about one is probably the Nobel Prize for Literature.

The progress of other representatives of science and technology is still too far away from ordinary people, such as the yet-to-be-announced Nobel Prize in Physics, the Prize in Biology or Medicine, and the Prize in Economics. As for the various evaluation results of the Nobel Peace Prize, they are just like a joke, and they are probably only for literature. The award allows the public to participate in it in the broadest way. After all, it is definitely easier to understand a poem or a novel than to understand countless unfamiliar professional terms.

Similarly, the achievements of the three Chemistry Prize winners announced today have also begun to spread on the Internet. Although most people do not understand the significance of announcing these technologies, they still give people a sense of unclearness.

"The Nobel Prize has been announced!" Seeing that the direction of the hot discussion on the Internet finally began to change, Yu Xingwei let out a sigh of relief. Really, it's a good thing that there is no Nobel Prize in Mathematics, otherwise God knows whether these people on the Internet will help three people again. Professor Yue added to the fire.

"Oh? It's a pity, but it has little to do with us now." Ning Wei shrugged and replied.

The determined tone made Yu Xingwei a little confused as to how to answer the question, especially that sentence that has little to do with us now.

"So we can also win the Nobel Prize in the future?"

"Why do you have to win the Nobel Prize? A truly strong person never needs the approval of others. Of course, he can also make others have no choice but to affirm it. Do you know what is the biggest benefit of awarding the Nobel Prize?"

"What is it?"

"I should be able to go to the airport peacefully tomorrow to pick up Chen Shuang and our sister back to school."

I don't know why Yu Xingwei always felt that Ning Wei's sense of superiority in his plain tone could make many people vomit blood.

…

In Cambridge, Massachusetts, John Wilson's office in the Department of Mathematics Building at Harvard University is hosting a special guest, David Robin, President of Harvard Press.

The president's visit told John Wilson a question that puzzled the mathematics professor.

"If Ning Wei cannot be persuaded to give up his right to authorize the textbook, the textbook will not be published."

"Yes, Mr. Wilson, of course it actually makes sense. Although this textbook is based on Mr. Ning Wei's paper, he did not participate in the compilation of the textbook. It is normal that his name is not on it." David Robin nodded and said.

"But we have signed a contract before and have agreed on the signature rights." John Wilson said with a frown.

"So what I said is that you need to communicate with Ningwei to see if the terms of the contract can be changed. Of course, this is not what I meant. To be honest, the publishing house has taken on a lot of pressure, even if it is changed to another publishing house It's no use to the club, John. Even if the textbooks are printed, the school will not allow them to be used. At least not in the near future. It is said that he has touched some people's sensitive nerves, and some people do not want textbooks with his name printed on them. On our campus. And this also includes the sponsors who pay for publishing fees." David Robin spread his hands.

After hearing what David Robin said, John Wilson fell silent.

It is naturally the Google X laboratory that pays the publishing fees. This project was originally a collaboration with Google. Google did not contact him first. Instead, after communicating with the publishing house, the president came to tell him that of course the other party had considerations for this matter.

"What does school mean?" John Wilson asked.

"If Mr. Ning Wei agrees, of course the textbooks can be printed as planned. If he disagrees, it doesn't matter. Elective courses do not necessarily require formal textbooks. Your compilation work can continue, and the school can still launch special elective courses. , you only need to prepare a study material for the elective students. Of course, your efforts in this matter will still be remembered, and all rewards given to the editorial team will still count."

"The Chinese version of the textbook?"

"The Chinese version has been confirmed to be cut off, and there will be dedicated people talking to Professor Shen about this issue. In fact, even if I don't come to tell you about it in person, investors will call you. But Who made us friends? Well, John, it is said that it is because that young man has offended many big shots. God, you know what this means, it is very unwise, isn't it?"
