Tech Hammer

John Wilson sent David Robin away.

In fact, the two did not have a deep personal relationship, at least not in John Wilson's opinion. Likewise, he had little ill feelings toward David Robin. Because he knew very well that what David Robin said to him today was not actually filled with too many personal feelings.

As the president of Harvard Press said, Ning Wei has offended many big figures this time, and these big figures obviously do not want textbooks with Ning Wei's name on them to appear on the campuses of the country's top 50 prestigious universities.

This was not what John Wilson wanted to see, not to mention the deep friendship he had formed with Ning Wei. It was simply because as a professor at Harvard, he cherished his feathers very much and did not want to break his promise.

He took the lead in discussing the publication of textbooks, but so far there has not been a good result. Of course, this has a lot to do with Ning Wei, but in the end everyone lost.

It wasn't that he wasn't willing to fight hard, but as long as he had to apply to the bureaucrats at NIH, NSF, and AMS for research funding, he had to give in. Because he understood that the resources controlled by the big shots in David Robin's words were not something that a university professor like him could compete with.

Sitting at his desk, John Wilson thought for a moment, and finally turned on his computer and started composing an email.

"Dear Mr. Ning Wei: Hello, do you still remember our meeting in Montreal? I still remember it fresh. We had a great conversation and signed an agreement under the witness of Mr. Jordan, but now I have to... I regret to inform you that perhaps the textbook that was supposed to be published by Harvard Press may not be available. Due to some unplanned reasons, we no longer have sponsorship, and we no longer allow your name to appear on the textbook."

"Please believe that this is definitely not what I want. In fact, personally, I am very much looking forward to those energetic children a hundred years from now pointing to the content in the textbooks and complaining, 'God, what kind of bastard can write this? They are trying to create teaching materials to embarrass us.’ In fact, that’s what I complained about when I was studying vector space, but now it seems that there is no chance for the time being.”

"But my previous invitation has not changed because of this. If you are willing to come to Harvard to teach, I am willing to come forward to persuade those who are trying to prevent your name from appearing in textbooks to give up this ridiculous idea. I believe we can still be better friends." Colleagues and partners, we work together to study the mathematical foundation of big data. Your forever friend, John Wilson."

After writing the email, John Wilson took a deep breath and clicked the send button. At this moment, the big boss in the computer industry seemed to see the young and angry face thousands of miles away, but what could he do?

…

In fact, when Ning Wei saw this email, he was not as angry as John Wilson imagined. On the contrary, he did not feel too offended, but felt that the kitten in front of him had a greater chance of winning. .

After letting Yu Xingwei go back and continue to keep an eye on the supercomputing center, Ning Wei went directly back home to study the situation of the Wolf Prize.

In fact, the Wolf Prize does not award mathematics prizes every year. For example, last year it was only awarded in the fields of medicine, physics, chemistry, and music. But according to the information disclosed by Lao Tian, ​​the nomination window for the Wolf Prize in Mathematics has been opened early this year, which also means that there is a high probability that a mathematician will be selected this year.

Of course, this is also related to the fruitful results achieved by the mathematics community this year. At this point, Ning thought he had made a great contribution. Although the Clay Institute in the United States has not yet spoken out, there is no doubt that there has been a blowout of papers on NS equations during this period. Almost all comprehensive mathematics journals or mathematics journals in the PDE direction have several articles on advancing NS in each issue. Papers on equation solutions were published, and all these papers used the space proposed by Ning Wei.

Many papers have directly used Ningwei space to express it, such as Lu Dongyi's paper. Of course, some people also directly use the definition of space. Of course, these are not important. At most, the mathematical community will definitely give an explanation next year. Other than that In addition, probably the number of citations of Ningwei's paper also began to explode.

Ning Wei took a careful inventory. If the paper he published at the STOC conference was included, and if it was determined that the Wolf Prize in Mathematics would be awarded this year, he would not be able to justify it if he was not given it.

So he could understand John Wilson's email. If someone had already made up his mind not to let him win the Wolf Prize, of course he couldn't let his name appear in the textbook. So strictly speaking, this email is a good thing for March.

"Hey, March, I didn't expect you to be very capable. Even the vicious tongue in reviewing papers can become one of your labels." Ning Wei said quite proudly.

The kitten obviously didn't get enough praise to make her proud. She still just lay there and stared at Ning Wei blankly. In fact, the interaction between March and Ning Wei has not been too much, unless what Ning Wei is talking about happens to be the direction that March is interested in.

I would rather not care about this. It's not that March is too arrogant. There are many things that need to be understood by each other. For example, every action in March, as well as daily conversations and thinking, require its own computing power. When the background is still busy, it is not a big problem for the little guy to be lazy.

"Brother Yu brought good news today. If everything goes well, you will be able to move in three or five days. Of course, this is good news for both of us. After you move, you will still need this workstation. Help me take care of it. If I have anything to calculate, I will contact you directly on my mobile phone." Ning Wei said naggingly.

"Meow……"

This time, Sanyue finally reacted. She gave a very dignified shout, then raised a paw to make a heart sign. With this movement, her eyes widened a little.

Seeing the kitten like this, a smile appeared on Ning Wei's face unconsciously: "Haha, don't flatter me, you deserve it. We agreed that as long as you work hard, you can live in the big house. Our agreement about the house is always valid. But after moving, we also have to make three agreements. First, unless I give permission, you are not allowed to pop out and scare people. Stay in the supercomputing center honestly, by the way, except for the ones you control. In addition to some tasks, the supercomputing center will also undertake some other computing tasks. After you understand the working system of the entire center, remember to help with any local tasks that you can help with."

"Meow..." Sanyue raised her paw and scratched her little cheek, probably agreeing.

"Okay, I believe you can do a good job. I won't tell you more today. Your mother will come back with her sister tomorrow. I plan to pick them up at the airport, so I'm going to rest first. You can continue to work hard. "

After saying that, Ning Wei planned to take a rest.

Tomorrow is the last day of the National Day holiday. The most important thing is that his classmate Jiang is finally back. For a young man in his 20s who is still in love, this is a big deal.

However, after hearing this, Yue Yue did not turn off the screen arrogantly like usual, but instead used his paw to remove the dialog box.

"Did you ask your mother to bring your aunt to the capital to go to school so that this house wouldn't be so empty?" After asking, Yue Yue looked at Ning Wei with misty eyes, as if she really wanted to get a positive answer.

The moment Ning Wei saw this question, he was stunned...

Look at this cat, what's going through his little head every day.

However, after Ningwei thought about it carefully, he felt that March's idea was not unreasonable. According to Lu Dongyi, Yanbei University Affiliated Middle School has very high requirements for dormitory students. After all, dormitory beds are limited, so there are also certain academic requirements. Of course, these problems can be overcome. The key is to consider it from the perspective of brother-in-law. Jiang Chenlu has just arrived in the capital and it is indeed irresponsible to just throw him into the dormitory before he is used to everything.

Now that Yu Xingwei has moved out, the house he bought happens to have an extra room, and this suite happens to be designed with two bathrooms. It is really a waste if no one lives in it. Of course, if Jiang Chenlu came to live alone, it would be inconvenient for a man and a woman to live alone under the same roof. However, the guest room before Yu Xingwei was actually quite large. It would be no problem to put two beds in it. He could also let his sister move from the dormitory. I want to move out here and take care of my sister...

"March, I think your idea makes sense. Wait, I need to talk to Lu Dongyi about this."

After saying that, Ning Wei directly dialed Lu Dongyi's phone: "Hey, Senior Brother Lu, are you asleep?"

"No, what's the matter?" Lu Dongyi asked concisely and concisely, his tone seemed unhappy, and he was probably thinking about the problem when he was interrupted.

Ning Wei said nonchalantly: "There is indeed something going on. Chenshuang will come back tomorrow with Chenlu, so I would like to ask you to help me tell Principal Zhou something in advance..."

Lu Dongyi said angrily: "Didn't we agree to have dinner together tomorrow night? Is there anything you can't say in person?"

Ning Wei organized some words, and then said: "It's too late to say it face to face. Last time, didn't you say that Principal Zhou said that it was okay to borrow a student, but that accommodation was more troublesome? That's what I thought. Chen Lu just came to the capital. , I’m afraid I won’t be used to living in school. So just don’t bother Principal Zhou to say hello and make room for the dormitory. When I ask about this matter tomorrow, Principal Zhou can just tell the truth based on the actual situation.”

"Huh? Do you want Chen Shuang's sister to live in your home?" Lu Dongyi reacted immediately and asked.

"No! That's what I think. The guest room at home is big enough to fit two beds. I might as well let Chen Shuang and Chen Lu live here. The community is not far from the two schools, and it is also convenient for the elder sister to take care of the younger sister and integrate into the new family as soon as possible. In such an environment, what do you think?" Ning Wei asked confidently.

"If you let me tell you, your arrangement is indeed good. My dormitory is actually big enough and there is room for an extra bed. Why don't you arrange for your classmate Jiang and her sister to come to your house and then come and live with me in my dormitory? Well, this way we can have a few discussions at night, what do you think of this arrangement?" Lu Dongyi asked back.

"That's great. Brother Lu, you can go buy a bed tomorrow. It doesn't have to be too big, just 1.5 meters. I'll order a four-piece set later, and we decided happily. It's really inconvenient for me in the future. When I get home, I can go to your place for emergency help, such as when my parents come and take over my room." Ning Wei said happily.

Lu Dongyi was silent for a long time before replying: "You have really profound thoughts."

"Really? Then we have decided happily. You must remember to tell Principal Zhou not to trouble others. It's really embarrassing when you think about it. You are here to borrow the book. Chenlu occupied a bed, so It means kicking out a student who originally lived on campus. We can't do this, right?" Ning Wei said seriously.

"You're right, so be it! Is there anything else?"

"Oh, I have to pick someone up at the airport tomorrow, so I won't go to the research center."

"Got it! Hang up."

After hanging up the phone, Ning Wei looked at the kitten on the screen, nodded seriously and said, "In March, I find that you are smarter than me now!"

"Meow..." The kitten rolled its eyes twice, then lay back down again and waved its paws lazily.

"sleep!"

…

The next day at the airport, the plane was delayed for about twenty minutes. Fortunately, I had my mobile phone to brag with a few people in the dormitory group, so I didn't feel bored.

Several people in the group are also excited about the Nobel Prize winner in physics that will be announced today, making Ning Wei guess who will win this year's Nobel Prize in physics.

To be honest, this question touches on Ning Wei's blind spot. In fact, he really didn't do much research on physics. When he was helping Academician Tan do material experiments, he had read several physics-related papers.

But since waiting for others was boring and not responsible, Ning Wei randomly posted two names in the group: "I guess it would be John Laufer or George Paris. The former studies condensed matter. I just read it not long ago. I have read one of his papers "Long-range Interactions in Nanoscience", which is very insightful. The latter studies particle physics and has been nominated a few years ago. Maybe he will be selected this year."

However, his guess was not taken seriously, and the three people still argued about their respective candidates.

Ning Wei found this very interesting. Every year when the Nobel Prize is announced, these three guys make themselves look like the Nobel Prize jury members, and then start betting. Usually it's just one meal, but occasionally there's a rush, and if the bet is big, there's still a week's worth of meals. Of course, there's never a winner or a loser in this bet, because it basically ends with everyone being wrong.

After watching a few people arguing for a while, they finally heard the announcement of the arrival of the plane. Ning Wei put away his cell phone and ignored the three boring guys. He didn't let Ning Wei wait for long before he saw Jiang Chenshuang's pretty figure appearing in front of them. At the exit of the station, Ning Wei waved to her quickly: "This way."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a crisp cry from beside him: "Brother-in-law!"

"ah?"
