Tech Hammer

"There is no doubt that this is an amazing and addictive visual feast. It is beyond my expectation. Zhang Neng is indeed well-deserved to win the March Computer Award. If there is anything special about it, It feels like it’s a pity that Zhang is not our employee, does that count? Of course, if he is willing to come, in Chinese terms, I will welcome him on behalf of NVIDIA.”

"It was an unforgettable night, I didn't expect to see such a feast. Yes, for the first two hours, even though I was sitting in the front row, I really didn't see any difference. Many people may not It is clear that true naked-eye 3D display has always been recognized by the industry as the ultimate dream for the development of display technology. Today this dream has been realized. Congratulations to Ning and Zhang, they have solved a world-wide problem."

"How should I put it? Today's award ceremony got off to a very bad start, leaving me a little at a loss. I'm already considering whether I should postpone Apple's spring new product launch conference that was supposed to be launched at the end of the month. Because I'm sure, definitely Some people will compare our press conference with this award ceremony, and then Apple will be completely defeated. So please stop saying that our press conference is the Technology Spring Festival Gala in the future. You can pay more attention to the March Awards, maybe next time Are there more surprises at the awards ceremony?"

“As we all know, the essence of the concept of the metaverse is deception. Our ultimate goal is to be able to deceive all human senses, including vision, hearing, taste, smell and touch. Obviously, today’s award ceremony has completed one-fifth of the way perfectly. The moment when Zhang Dingxi finished his speech and the stage went dark and then lit up, it was really beyond my imagination. It was so surprising. I even suspected that I was dreaming, so I must give you any comments. Thank you. Ning, I also want to thank Zhang for performing today’s ceremony for us. I’m already thinking about how Facebook should embrace this new technology in the future.”

"It's such an amazing performance that I don't even know how to comment. I admit that the last half hour tonight really felt like a dream, as if I was in a dream. No matter from which angle you look at it, it's a disgraceful performance. It is called a perfect award ceremony. To paraphrase Ning, this is indeed different from any other awards ceremony and leaves a deep impression on people. If possible, I hope to buy a similar set of equipment... If Harvard I believe teachers and students will be very excited to have such a stage on campus.”

"I'm very satisfied! As you can see, they just used the CG animation of World of Warcraft. This also represents Microsoft's consistent support for the March Award. From beginning to end, we are very supportive of the March Award. There is no doubt that the March Award is the most fair scientific award in the world. As a technology company, we hope to cooperate extensively with scientists around the world and provide the most perfect products to all users. We will definitely find ways to promote Warcraft We will cooperate more comprehensively with this IP and new technologies in the world to provide you with a 3D version similar to today’s demonstration as soon as possible.”

"Actually, everything was normal when I went on stage to receive the award. I really walked on the stage and received real medals and trophies from Jeff, and my speech on stage was also real. To be honest, I really didn't feel any difference when I stood on the stage. Believe me, I was kept in the dark like everyone else, and I also had no idea that there were so many surprises in the last half hour..."

…

The above is what many of the big guys who attended the March Awards Ceremony said when they were interviewed by reporters from the central media after the awards ceremony.

In fact, the people central media reporters most hope to interview are Ning Wei and Zhang Dingxi.

It's a pity that the master and apprentice once again made a big joke to the whole world.

When the stage became empty, Ning Wei and Zhang Dingxi appeared again from both sides of the stage. During this period, staff appeared from the elevator, carrying medals and trophies, officially completing the awarding ceremony.

When the audience burst into warm applause, Ning Wei said on the stage facing the world: "Chinese people should strengthen themselves! Thank you all, I declare that tonight's March Award Ceremony has been successfully concluded! Thank you!"

Then he walked off the stage with Zhang Dingxi. The big guys sitting in the front row stood up one after another, preparing to shake hands with Ning Wei and then make an appointment to have a chat. An accident happened again...

In full view of everyone, as they walked down the steps of the stage, their figures gradually became transparent until they disappeared...

In other words, the final awarding process was just a virtual form. It is very likely that the master and the apprentice never appeared at tonight's award ceremony from beginning to end. What kind of confidence is this?

The central media reporter who had been tasked with interviewing Ning Wei was so excited that he dialed Ning Wei's phone on speakerphone in front of the camera. The call was connected, and then through the speaker, the first thing that came through was an extremely noisy and lively sound...

"Senior Brother Zhang, you are so powerful today. You must not get drunk before returning. Come, one of us brothers will leave first..."

"That's right, look at the bullet screen, I'm so happy..."

"Don't make trouble. Let's drink and wait. Director Ning didn't answer the phone!"

"It's okay, the reporter's phone number, you just have fun... Hey, reporter Zhou, what's the matter?"

"Ah... Academician Ning, have you already left?"

"We left early. We were at the hotel to celebrate the grand opening. In order to prepare for the award ceremony, my students didn't even eat at night. We came to the hotel for dinner at 9:30... Haha, you didn't expect that, did you? When we were hungry, we had already started eating..."

At this moment, the central media live broadcast exploded...

what's the situation?

Arrive at the hotel for dinner at half past nine?

Today's award ceremony started at 7:30 and took a total of two and a half hours. It ended at 10 o'clock. In other words, from the moment Ning Wei came on stage at the end, Ning Wei had already taken his students to the ceremony. A celebration party?

At this moment, countless people were stunned...

At this moment, the barrage exploded...

The fastest response to a comment, in less than a second, the number of likes instantly exceeded 100!

"Fuck, we are still young. We thought Academician Ning was showing off on stage, but it turns out he is showing off off stage... We thought Director Ning and his students were attending the award ceremony, but it turns out he is having dinner?"

Although this reporter from the central media could not see the barrage on the live broadcast at this time, as a reporter from the central media, her sense of news was still guaranteed. She immediately realized that there was big news to dig up here, so she immediately said: "Academician Ning, now that the award ceremony has ended, our live broadcast here is still going on. There are more than 100 million netizens in the live broadcast room who want to see you. Can we use WeChat video to let you follow Zhang Doctor, would you like to say hello to our audience?"

"Okay, then hang up the phone and send it to me!"

"OK!"

Soon, the WeChat video was connected, first showing Ning Wei's face, and then the camera quickly adjusted to the rear position. After shaking for a while, the camera focused on Zhang Dingxi, and half of another person's face was revealed...

Obviously this is indeed in a hotel room. Careful netizens can also see the sign "Yanyuan Elegant Hall" on the napkin box on the wine table.

The next moment, Ning Wei's voice came from WeChat: "Zhang Dingxi, don't drink yet. The central media is broadcasting live, and I want you to say hello to everyone!"

"Hello everyone, my name is Zhang Dingxi. Well, thank you for your concern for me. Actually, what I want to say, the previously recorded actions and voices were already said at the award ceremony. Although we were not there, we were in the same box for the live TV broadcast. After watching the entire award ceremony and your comments, what can I say? Thank you everyone for your support. I will work harder in the future."

"There's more!" Someone next to him reminded Zhang Dingxi, who was obviously almost drunk.

"Oh, by the way, our director Ning said that my next stage of work is to go to the future experience city located in LP County to create a 3D virtual stage that allows everyone to experience something similar to today. Well, the future experience city will be about It will be officially open to the public in half a year. Our Director Ning just told us that he will take us to the Future Experience City for a week's vacation next month. Director Ning will reimburse us in full for all expenses... Director Ning, can you Can’t break your promise!”

"Bah, would I break my promise for this little money?"

"Haha, Director Ning, we are not afraid that you will not give us money. What we are afraid of is that you will not give us your time!"

"It's live broadcast, please stop making trouble!"

Then the camera changed again, revealing Ning Wei's face: "Okay, reporter Zhou, that's pretty much it. It's not easy for students like me to get together, so let's eat first, and finally thank all netizens again for their support. Still That sentence, we Chinese people should strengthen ourselves! Goodbye!"

After saying that, Ning Wei decisively and willfully hung up the WeChat video.

…

"It's fake, it's all fake, the restaurant is fake, the meal is fake, only the advertisement for the Future Experience City is real, half a year from now, right? Go book a ticket right away!"

"I couldn't help but post anonymously after seeing this paragraph. I'm not exaggerating. The gap between doctoral supervisors is simply bigger than the gap between humans and apes. No, no, no, it should be said that it's better than the gap between humans and grasshoppers. The gap between insects is even greater, so I want to change instructors!"

"If you want to change your tutor, +10,000!"

"Illusion, everything is an illusion! Everything I see now is an illusion! But where are the pre-sale tickets for the Experience City?"

"So Academician Ning is joking with the whole world? I really want to experience it with them!"

"There is no doubt that Academician Ning's bad taste has begun to emerge again..."

" @Tian Yanzhen, look, the students you brought out tricked a group of big names in the technology industry into attending the award ceremony, but he took his own students to work! All I can say about this is, well done !”

"Haha, the atmosphere between teachers and students is so good. By the way, I think I'm going to take the Ph.D. exam for Director Ning!"

"Wake up upstairs, Director Ning has stopped accepting Ph.D. students from outside except Ning's class since the year before last. You have no chance!"

"Reporter, I advise you to be more sensible. Now call your colleagues who are responsible for interviewing those big guys in the science and technology circle. Tell those big guys what our Academician Ning is doing. I want to see those big guys know now that Academician Ning has been there for a long time. My reaction when I took Zhang Dingxi to the celebration banquet!!!"

"Second, I want to see it too!"

"We want to see it, brothers reporters, it's up to you!"

…

Probably the enthusiasm of netizens moved the reporters on the front line, and soon everyone took action.

"Mr. Gelsinger, I hope to show you a video, which was just sent by my colleague. As shown in the video, maybe you don't know yet, Academician Ning took his The students are going to have a celebration banquet, do you have anything to say about this?"

Under the camera, Pat Gelsinger looked at the mobile phone screen handed over by the reporter, with a question mark on his face, and even subconsciously glanced sideways at Mark Zuckerberg next to him...

"Well, how should I put it... Well, Ning has always had the imagination and unique personality of Pegasus, otherwise it would be difficult for him to achieve what he has now. Maybe he is the only one in the world who can do things."

"So you're not offended, are you?"

"Of course, each of us has the right to do the right thing at the right time. This is not offensive. Even though he was not present, he still gave us an extremely wonderful award ceremony. This may be a reflection of ability and confidence. Well, yes, that’s it.”

"Okay, thank you, so the last question is, do you think the advent of Ning Xin will have an impact on Intel? In other words, how does Intel plan to deal with the challenges brought by Ning Xin? Can you tell us about the technology? Can fans reveal some?”

"I'm sorry, like everyone else, I just learned about Zhang's amazing achievements. Unfortunately, some technical details were not revealed too much at the award ceremony, so I can't answer these questions for the time being. But everyone You can continue to follow us.”

Having said this, Pat Gelsinger subconsciously made a gesture of raising his hands with his hands raised. A reporter next to him quickly captured an image of him raising his hands in surrender, and then quickly posted it on the Internet...

…

"Mr. Cook, Mr. Cook, please take a look at this video. Academician Ning actually left with Zhang Dingxi for a celebration banquet around nine o'clock. What do you think of this?"

"Oh...well, how should I put it? This is indeed something that the Ning Neng I know can do, or I wouldn't be too surprised by what he does. I can only say that some people in this world just want to create Born of miracles. For example, everyone knows Newton and Einstein... We cannot and do not have the right to criticize them too much..."

…

"Want to eat? Can anyone tell me where this restaurant is? Speaking of which, I feel a little hungry too. Seeing them eating happily, I wonder if I can take one with them..."

…

"Professor Tian, ​​what do you think of Ning Wei taking the students to start the celebration banquet in advance in the middle of the March Award Ceremony?"

"Well... today's award ceremony was perfect. It shows that no matter what Xiao Ning does, he knows it well. It shows that he is very confident in the technology used on the spot. We often say that one minute on stage is worth ten years of work off stage. , In fact, the same is true for scientific research. The reason why Ning Wei and Zhang Dingxi have such confidence must be because they have conducted countless tests in the laboratory to ensure that there will be 100% no problems."

"I see, scientific research is indeed a fascinating field. So Professor Tian, ​​did Academician Ning say hello to you before he left? Or do you know that they left early for a celebration banquet?"

"Oh, I do not know."

"So Academician Ning held a celebration banquet with his students and didn't invite you?"

"???"

…

Although this March Awards Ceremony has ended, the Internet is still very lively, especially in the official live broadcast room.

After all, there are still too many topics and too many big shots to interview. Obviously, neither reporters nor netizens want to miss these after-show highlights.

From time to time, reporters would ask questions about big bosses when they were being picked on, and question marks would appear on their faces. It was so joyful.

the most important is……

The excitement continues, making countless technology enthusiasts subconsciously not want this technology festival to go away like this...

Really, at this moment, whether you open Weibo, Zhihu, short video software, or directly open Baidu or other browsers, you can immediately see that almost the top ten hot searches on the Internet are all about this conference.

Yes, not only the entire network, but also the top ten hot searches on the entire network...

Not only the real 3D display, but also various tidbits.

For example, "Ning Wei didn't invite Tian Yanzhen to the celebration banquet", a reporter's provoking question can be ranked as the tenth most popular search topic on short videos and Weibo.

As for "Cook: The March Award defines the Technology Spring Festival Gala", "Pat raised his hands to surrender on behalf of Intel!", "In the March Award Ceremony, Ning Wei led the students to leave early for a celebration banquet", "Technology redefines authenticity and falsehood" ", etc. Such content has firmly occupied the top five hot searches.

The one currently ranked No. 1 is a small survey distributed across the entire network by Penguin Group at the moment the awards ceremony ended.

"If the combined price of Ningxin + true 3D display + Hongmeng system personal computer set is between 20,000 and 30,000, will you pay for this set of products?"

To participate in answering this question, you first need to fill in your gender, age group, and monthly income. Before you can check the three options of "order without hesitation!", "need to consider carefully" and "definitely not buy", and only Only after you vote successfully can you see the results of other people's votes.

Of course, many people immediately took screenshots and posted them online the moment they saw the results.

Judging from the statistical results, in just ten minutes, 280,000 people have completed the survey through WeChat, QQ and Penguin live broadcast with CCTV and cast their votes. Among them, 10% of the people who participated in the survey were men. Ninety-three, only 7% were women. The proportion of netizens who chose "order without hesitation" reached an astonishing 97%, and 2.7% chose "need to consider carefully". Only 0.3% chose "definitely not buying".

This shows that almost no one doubts that the price is too high for a personal computer. Of course, it also shows that men’s spending power is actually very strong. The reason why men’s spending power is not as good as that of pets is most likely because most of them After men reach adulthood, they have yet to find high-quality products and hobbies that they are willing to pay for. When they find a way to spend money, they are obviously not too ambiguous about how to spend money...
