Tech Hammer

"President Chen, President Zhang of Penguin Group called the company again yesterday. He still wants to see you and have an interview with you."

In the corridor of Building 2 of the Yanbei Mathematics Research Center, Chen Diancheng was stopped by a student from the third phase of the Ning class. He opened his mouth with words that would make many businessmen envious.

However, these words startled Chen Diancheng, and he looked around subconsciously, and then complained: "How many times have I stressed to you? Don't call me president, president's...,... Senior Brother, does he know?! When this reaches Director Ning’s ears, I will be teased again!”

"Oh, Senior Brother Chen, why don't you meet Mr. Zhang? He is very sincere. As you know, he has come to the school twice specifically, and it just so happened that you and Director Ning went to the laboratory. I can only talk to Senior Brother Wang. Senior Brother Wang never cares about these things and is still a boring gourd. Seeing the two of them sitting together and chatting makes me feel embarrassed..."

"Why meet? I've told you a long time ago that the purpose of establishing Ningshe is not to deal with those capitals. We are just doing it for fun, promoting some small technologies. We really want to make a lot of money. When you graduate, we will have more The company is waving its checkbook to rob you, what are you anxious about now?"

"No, Senior Brother Chen, none of us care about the money in the club. It's really just that I feel quite embarrassed..."

"What are you embarrassed about? I'd say you were protected too well by Director Ning, and you haven't been beaten up by society. You were impressed by him acting like a courteous corporal... I tell you, it's nothing. I'm sorry. Penguin Group wants to cooperate with us. To put it bluntly, it's not because we are very valuable now. Do you think they are really full of food and want to take us for fun? "

"This...but Mr. Zhang also said that it doesn't necessarily have to achieve any purpose. It just wants to meet a few of you people in charge. Let's get to know each other, and maybe we can make friends in the future. And They are really polite..."

"Junior, can you please be smarter? Do you really think that a vice president of a major Internet company can make friends everywhere in his spare time? Let me ask you, do you think that although Director Ning has never asked about Ningshe's affairs, If Director Ning speaks, will we listen?"

"Of course, Director Ning has spoken, so you must listen!"

"Then it's over? Why do you think they don't want to be friends with us, Director Ning, and they keep trying to get us? Isn't it because they know that we are definitely easier to talk to than Director Ning? Please use your brain and stop thinking about those things every day. Equation! I have really made this friend, and I will talk about participating in a share in the future. Will you agree? I consider other people’s favors every day, will I still be able to complete my project? When Director Ning wants to take the exam for me, will you agree? Go up? Go to class quickly, you are still talking nonsense, believe it or not, I told Director Ning that you are too good for this year’s final exam, and all subjects will go directly to Paper B? "

"Oops, Senior Chen, I suddenly realized that I still had unfinished homework, so I jumped out of the way!"

This threat is really useful. Children in Ning class all know that two sets of papers will be prepared for the final assessment. The normal test is Paper A. If everyone behaves too arrogantly, Paper B will be used. As for the difficulty of Paper B... ...In the words of my friends, it was done by Director Ning purely to attack people, and they couldn't find anyone to reason with.

Generally, if Paper B is used for the exam, the passing score on the 100-point scale is forced to be lowered to 45 points, which is the basic operation. But it doesn't matter, because Ningban's grade point assessment is its own system, which fluctuates based on the overall performance and directly ignores the school's grade point calculation system, so the professors have great discretion.

Originally, it was not easy for the school to manage Ningban's activities like this. But there is no way. Academician Ning's brand is too tyrannical, and the outside world's evaluation of Ning's class is not based on the usual assessment performance points.

Let's put it this way, as long as the children in the Ning class can persist until the final exam of their sophomore year before being optimized, starting from the day they are optimized, they basically don't have to worry about their future jobs. There will definitely be companies in the Fortune Global 500 looking for them. Come to discuss whether you want to continue your studies or find a job after graduation? If you choose the former, you can sign an entrusted training plan with the company, and then the company will cover all the expenses for postgraduate study and Ph.D. If you want to work after graduating from a bachelor's degree, you can get a good offer before the start of your junior year. As long as you can It will take effect immediately upon successful graduation.

Yes, the children in Ningban are so arrogant.

It’s not that everyone doesn’t want to wait until Ningban graduates, it’s just that there are more wolves and less meat.

There are only forty students in the Ning class every year. It has only been recruiting for three years, and there are only 120 people in total. The current talent gap in the strong artificial intelligence industry has reached 800,000 according to the statistical yearbook of professional talents around the world, and it is showing year by year Increasing trend.

In addition, for Ningban to become so famous, the existence of Ningshe must be mentioned.

At that time, a college student club was established on a whim by the first students of Ningban. Now it is definitely more than just a student club, and it has become a favorite in the eyes of countless capital.

This is thanks to three university-wide investments made by Ningshe.

Unlike the group of people from the UAV Interest Club of Hong Kong University of Science and Technology who directly built the world's most powerful drone technology company after graduation, Ningshe's investment was actually just for fun at the beginning.

For example, after a group of people deeply studied the basic subjects of artificial intelligence and invested hundreds of thousands, they designed a super-resolution restoration algorithm that can extremely efficiently restore almost all technically processed mosaic images, and can even directly access videos. Through potential reconstruction sampling and fuzzy dynamic features, the coding content is directly restored.

Although the restored content will have some "machine imagination" elements and cannot be restored perfectly, the speed is really super fast. After it is turned on, it can even synchronize the mosaic of the video, and the restoration degree can reach more than 90%.

In addition, a group of top students from Ningban also upgraded the algorithm with the help of Ning Wei. Not only can it perfectly restore the artificial mosaic technology, but it can also simultaneously restore all the beauty effects of the machine, such as skin resurfacing and face slimming. , whitening, freckle removal...all the machine modifications on the human face through the beauty algorithm can be restored with one click with the help of this algorithm, allowing people to face their true self.

What’s even more frightening is that even the traces of PS modification can be restored with one click. In other words, the photos in the circle of friends are no longer safe...

When this software first came out, the response was really enthusiastic...

To be honest, if Ningwei’s brand name hadn’t been there, it might have been impossible for this software to be put on the shelves. After all, a piece of software almost makes all the algorithms that a group of people spent more than ten years researching become decorations. Even mobile phones with the banner of beauty are not easy to sell.

What's even more disgusting is that a group of half-year-old children in Ning's class also named this software "Real World". Ning She, who made his first pot of gold through this software, also began to be known to the public.

In addition, Ningshe also organized the development of a product called "Million Tuner", which specifically uses artificial intelligence to adjust pitch and rhythm. Through this software, even tone-deaf people can sing on their mobile phones. Beautiful music, and more importantly, this software can also automatically enhance the characteristics of the user's voice in a fool-proof way. Although it sounds good, the enhanced characteristics of the voice are significantly different from the original singer, even enough to ensure that acquaintances can recognize who it is. the sound of.

The effect of the popularity of this thing is that every amateur can produce records as long as they own a computer, and the more unique the voice, the more niche people will be attracted to it. The direct effect is that in the field of short videos, it has long been A large number of special sound killers! People in the world call him "The King of Naked Sound".

The characteristic of this kind of short video is that it is originally a software sound. When the person who likes it is infinitely intoxicated, the software is turned off and the real sound appears, which can directly scare people silly. That is much more annoying than the so-called sound card virtualization. For a period of time, even many large music players included many similar songs...

One software went from virtual to real, and the other software went from real to virtual, and the controversy was huge. It completely let the whole world know that Yanbei University has a crazy and crazy college student club. The name is inseparable from Ning Ban. It's called Ningshe.

But what really made countless capitals start to pay attention to Ningshe, and even made Ningshe's eliminated students start to be targeted by big companies, was Ningshe's third move, launching a diversified game for the majority of game manufacturers. solution.

To put it bluntly, this is another random event algorithm designed by a group of students in Ning class who love to play games.

The specific function is very simple, it is a fool-like algorithm that helps online games design random intelligent NPCs or random events.

The basic operation is that after the game development is completed, the online game developer can integrate the algorithm into the server and write the background story of the game in the text editing position given by the algorithm. The algorithm will automatically read the game map and start the game when the game starts. During operation, the algorithm will generate various random events, tasks, and NPCs with certain interactive intelligence based on the number of online people in the game and the map ratio. In addition to enriching the entire story line, it also adds some gimmicks to the game, such as not being operated. Controlled adventure systems, the rewards given by these systems are full of infinite surprises for players.

This software was initially used for testing in a little-known domestic mobile game "Rainfall Sword". At that time, the game developers were probably disappointed with the game. Anyway, there were not many daily active users. I couldn’t make much money from daily income, so I just tried this random system. Then Xiao Xiao invested some resources to promote China's first artificial intelligence game in cooperation with Ning Ban, and launched a brand new version of "The Falling Rain Sword: Jianghu Adventure Edition".

Who would have thought that after this game was released, it would become so popular!

There was even a 10 Krypton player who was so lucky that he was knocked out of the tower after being PKed by a big guy. Who would have thought that a mysterious old man from some background story would be spawned out of thin air and his health would be cleared? After being rescued in front of him and completing the mission of repaying his gratitude through a very human dialogue, the player also received the Guiyi Sword, the only legendary item outside the system, and directly climbed to the top of the game's weapon spectrum...

Even though this adventure prop has non-tradable properties, for this sword, it is said that the boss in the game directly spent 100,000 to buy the game account and the sword.

Although the rewards generated by most of the side plots in the game are not too rare, and may even have various random punishments, they still attract countless players to flock to them, and the game forum is even more controversial. The sentence "As long as you win the liver, you will win the adventure!" refreshed the screen.

The algorithm directly made a game popular, and countless game developers saw the business opportunities in it.

The capital circle also responded quickly. From the beginning, everyone began to buy algorithms and embed them in games, and then actively cooperated with the algorithms to design games, such as planning a unique and diverse training system in the game background to make the entire random encounter system more comprehensive. Rich, this once made it impossible for a game system without such adventures to survive.

In the end, even the entertainment modes of MOBA real-time battle games such as Honor of Kings and League of Legends introduced this system. Unexpected situations pop up from time to time, which can make both players collapse while also greatly enhancing the entertainment. …

For example, there may be random quality problems in the internal operation of the protection tower. Sometimes it manifests itself in the form of locals intruding under the tower without hitting anyone. There is also a chance that it will explode suddenly, regardless of the enemy or friend, and only take explosion damage based on distance...

It is also possible that when the dragon is about to be killed, nectar suddenly falls from the sky. After the dragon speaks a line loudly, the blood suddenly returns to full. Of course, after killing the dragon with faith, the reward will be greater. rich……

Of course, it would be too one-sided if everyone thinks that this algorithm is only favored by game manufacturers. After the Metaverse has been hyped again for three years, the algorithm's addition to Metaverse simulation is what attracts the most attention to capital.

Just like accidents may happen at any time in real life, as the next generation of virtual Internet, if there is no introduction of random events, it will obviously have no soul. Therefore, this algorithm has been favored by all capital related to the Metaverse around the world.

As for Ningshe, who controls the patents and copyrights of these algorithms in accordance with regulations, it naturally becomes a fragrant steamed bun.

Let's put it this way, as a student club, the most helpless problem Ningshe faces now is probably too much money. Even without capital, the income from external licensing of algorithms has already earned Ningshe more than ten small targets, after tax. And as time goes by, more and more money will be earned.

If it were any other tutor, he would have been obsessed with the money in Ningshe's bank card, but it happened that Ning Ban, the academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, had the final say.

Let's put it this way, if there is really a competition over who doesn't know what to do with the increasing money, Director Ning is more distressed than his students.

Although there has always been controversy over how much personal property Director Ning has, when the Forbes rankings are released every year, Director Ning will definitely not be forgotten. Although Ningwei has no company, no stock income, and the exact amount of his personal wealth is difficult to detect, the staff of Forbes found another way to analyze Ningwei's annual income by analyzing the sales of patented products controlled by Ningwei.

For example, the sales volume of turbulence algorithm equipment, the usage of three-dimensional through-silicon 5G chips, etc. It is finally estimated that Ningwei’s annual patent licensing income has reached an astonishing tens of billions of yuan. After deducting personal income tax, there should be another fifty or sixty billion yuan. Personal income of hundreds of millions, over the years, there will definitely be tens of billions.

Therefore, Ning Wei would definitely look down on the funds in Ning She's small treasury. Anyway, in his opinion, Ning She was just a bunch of kids from Ning's class messing around. As for those who wanted to get involved, they had to consider Ning Wei's sign.

It's not like no one thought about liquidating the money in Ningshe's card, which aroused the resistance of the seven gods of Ningshe. During that time, the little princess of the Ning family - Ningke, the child, accidentally caught the cold and was admitted to the hospital. She obviously had a daughter slave. Director Ning, who has great potential, moved his office directly to the ward of Ke Ke...

After I came back, I probably blamed all the trouble I saw my daughter on these days on the professor who had taken a liking to her. It is said that Ning Wei directly went to the office of the school supervisor, pounded the table, and directly said that if the school professor dared to interfere with Ningshe’s internal project selection mechanism, and the school ignored him, he would directly consider opening a new school in the next Ning class...

No one knows whether this news is true or not, but the effect is that although Ning Club is very rich, the projects it invests in can stick to its original intentions and be decided by the dedicated student self-government department within the club. Of course, in order to ensure that students with voting rights will not be corrupted, Ningshe also has a dedicated autonomous supervision department.

The cadres of the first Ningshe student class, later known as the "Seven Gods of Ningshe", naturally became the first group leaders of Ningshe with the right to vote. To have the right to vote, it is actually very simple, just study hard. . Members of the Ning Club who can ensure that their two final exam scores are among the top ten in the same grade within one academic year automatically have the right to vote for the review project.

In the same way, Ningshe members who have ranked among the top fifteen in their majors for two consecutive final exams can apply to join the supervision department.

Up to now, Ningshe has 17 members with voting rights, and the corresponding autonomous supervision department also has nine people, and these nine people also have strong foreign aid. In March...

No matter what, the development of Ningshe is excellent now.

As the earliest initiator, Chen Diancheng still retained his identity as the president of Ningshe even though he had already earned enough credits in his junior year, skipped the senior year and started directly studying for a doctorate under Director Ning.

Like him, there were three other students in the first Ning class who completed enough credits in their junior year and started doing scientific research with Director Ning directly, Lu Yongjia, Wang Xiwen and Qiu Ruimao. Now the four of them have to take turns to answer questions for the younger students in Ning class. Each of the four of them has two hours of self-study tutoring tasks every week. To put it bluntly, the children in Ning class study together. During self-study, they have to stay in the classroom and answer the questions that the juniors and junior girls encounter during the study process at any time...

So naturally I am qualified to give opinions on the question...
