The End of Technology

There is no doubt that Ning Zi's initiative to deliver food quickly spread in the school.

However, it was originally something worth writing about, but because all the previous rumors were too outrageous, it didn't cause any trouble.

Everyone is already used to it.

Since countless people had already firmly believed that the two were lovers, it was not surprising that Ning Xueshen served his girlfriend breakfast on a weekend morning.

It just gives everyone more things to talk about.

But it was naturally very touching for those involved.

Lu Xiaoya sent a question mark on WeChat.

Ning Jie replied with a few words: "I'm considering never obeying."

Lu Xiaoya responded with a collapsed expression.

Then the two of them stopped communicating in a tacit understanding.

Lu Xiaoya began to think about what posture she should use to jump from the third floor to give herself the best pleasure.

In addition, she couldn't quite figure out why a certain academic god saw the message in the middle of the night and could not reply until the morning. After all, as soon as the message was sent, she regretted it and withdrew it within a second at most. If she hadn't been keeping an eye on WeChat at that time, it would have been impossible to see it.

Ning Zi did not explain this, but started to study the new topic in a refreshed manner.

What March said is right. If you release your emotions over some small things in life, your mood will naturally feel much better. Sending breakfast is just an explanation. How others interpret it has nothing to do with him.

Then, there is no more for now.

For two people who are not ready for love, this is just an extremely ordinary encounter.

After all, everyone is very busy.

Especially Ning Zi.

Deriving a definite result from the Schrödinger equation to the Heisenberg uncertainty principle is a huge and complicated demonstration process. It is equivalent to standing on the shoulders of giants and lifting a thousand kilogram weight again.

This is very troublesome.

Of course, having an extra girl to chat with on WeChat during the break still made him feel happier, and it didn't seem to be a big delay.

…

It was already nine o'clock in the evening when Tim Cook's special plane landed at China Jingcheng International Airport. Ge Linyue, general manager of Apple's Greater China Region, who rushed to the capital again, personally came to pick up the machine.

There was no notification to the media and they went directly through the special channel. Avoided all interviews.

This is also what Tim Cook means. The purpose of this trip to China is very clear, and it is no secret.

It has just been a month since Youwei Group's M10 launch conference. For media reporters, there must be too many associations that are very correct. For a company like Apple, when one thing is still uncertain, the exposure of Tim Cook's schedule may have an unpredictable impact on the stock market.

For Chinese officials, naturally many people also know about Tim Cook's schedule. But since the other party requires a low profile, naturally they still have to be satisfied.

Everything went smoothly. The only thing Ge Linyue didn't expect was that he would receive a top academic boss in the computing industry. What he didn't expect was that this boss would be invited by Ning Ju to conduct academic discussions.

It was difficult for Ge Linyue to imagine that Ning Zi took the initiative to communicate with others, but when she thought about the state of discussing academic issues with Dominette Duncan that day, she felt relieved.

Probably only this kind of academic problem can make that young man have the desire to communicate with others.

Ge Linyue thought so in her heart.

"Have you made any arrangements for tomorrow?" Tim Cook asked as soon as he got in the car.

"Of course, Mr. Cook, President Chen Yonggang will meet with you at two o'clock tomorrow afternoon. The other party's arrangements include taking you to visit the campus of the National Sports University, but we haven't made the final decision yet because the visit itinerary has not been finalized before meeting Ning Ju. …”

"It's okay. This is confirmed. I believe that the negotiation with Ning Zi will have a relatively optimistic result." Tim Cook interrupted Ge Linyue and directly confirmed the specific itinerary.

To be honest, chatting awkwardly with the president of a relatively unknown university for several hours is quite boring.

Walking around the school can make people feel much better.

Who doesn't like young people?

After hearing Tim Cook's decision, Ge Linyue's eyes unconsciously fell on Conan Lamar.

If Tim Cook appears on the campus of the National Sports University, there is a high probability that his trip to China will be directly exposed, and Tim Cook will appear on the official website of the Wall Street Journal that day soon.

As the president of a high-tech company with the largest market value in the universe and the highest-paid CEO in the world, every move of this boss has attracted the attention of many media around the world, especially major financial media.

Ge Mingyue was only sensitively aware that something had happened, but she felt that it must have something to do with Conan Lamar. But this moment is obviously not the time for her to care about this.

"Okay, I'll confirm your itinerary with the other party right away."

"Well, let's also contact Shencheng. I should stay in the capital for one more day."

"OK."

…

At 10:30 at night, in Ning Ju's room, Chen Yonggang was sitting on the sofa in the living room.

Normally, Chen Yonggang would not disturb Ning Jie at night, but today's situation was special.

Sitting in his seat and taking a sip of the tea he had just brought from the office, Chen Yong said with emotion: "Ning Zi, Mr. Cook will come to visit the University of Science and Technology tomorrow afternoon."

"Yeah, I know." Ning Zi nodded.

"Um? Apple has notified you?"

"Tim Cook sent me an email a week ago to inform me of his itinerary. Probably because he was afraid that I would go out suddenly." Ning Zi explained.

"Oh, it seems that Apple is more concerned about your request this time." Chen Yonggang said with a smile.

He was really nervous about the fact that the university was about to add a modern chip research center.

Chip research and development can be said to be the most high-end academic research field these days.

The initial condition proposed by Ge Linyue was to help the National Sports University open two departments. To be honest, Chen Yonggang was not very interested in this proposal.

But Ning Jie's request made Chen Yonggang's heart flutter. If this R\u0026D center can really be built and the instruments and equipment inside can reach the leading domestic level, the importance of the university will be highlighted. It’s hard to say that all chip research and development units across the country would want to cooperate with the University.

Although Yanbei University next door has a microprocessor research and development center and Huaqing University has a microelectronics research institute, the research on electronic chips is at least several generations behind the current mainstream products. It is indeed sufficient in some special scenarios, such as the field of special-purpose chips, but commercial applications in the field of general-purpose chips are still far behind.

This was all something he had specifically learned about.

From the content of the negotiation between Ning Zi and Ge Linyue that day, he could tell that Ning Zi's goal in building this chip R\u0026D center happened to be in the commercial field of general-purpose chips. After all, Ning Ji had promised Ge Linyue that within three years, he would produce results that even Apple might need.

If it can really be done, it will be a real show.

To be honest, when he goes out for a meeting, he can basically look at people through his nostrils.

Tim Cook's visit this time is probably the time to confirm this matter. He planned to ask Ning Zi for his opinion.

Ning Zi opened his mouth and gave Chen Yonggang a different answer: "Actually, it doesn't matter whether Tim Cook comes or not. Because Apple's purpose is very pure, they need technology to maintain their position in the high-end market of their products, so their behavior pattern It is also easy to judge that this has nothing to do with the personal ability of the person at the helm. Therefore, there is no need to pay too much attention to the reception. I have made an appointment with another person tomorrow morning, and you may need to pay more attention. I hope he can stay willingly. Big body.”

"Ah? Who is it?" Chen Yonggang was quite surprised.

He came specifically for the visit of the Apple CEO, but Ning Zi told him that there was someone more important than Tim Cook tomorrow, but he didn't know there was such a person.

Ning Zi introduced: "Conan Lamar, winner of the Turing Award in 2007 and the Birkhoff Award in 2009, is currently a tenured professor at Berkeley. This time he accepted my invitation to do some academic discussions. My idea is to keep him at the University, hold a teaching position at the University, and also work for the University’s future Artificial Intelligence Laboratory.”

Chen Yonggang subconsciously raised his hand and touched his forehead.

What does it mean to go back and forth without paying attention? This is it…

Arranging Turing Award winners to be professors at the National Sports University will be a sure shot for next year's computer science major at the National Sports University. If it can be done, this golden sign will probably be brighter than that of academicians.

After all, there is no Turing Award professor in the School of Computer Science at Yanbei University, just like there are no Fields Medal winners in the School of Mathematics at Yanbei University.

Continuing to recruit people at this pace, Chen Yonggang felt that Ning Jie's speech at the welcome ceremony that day might be realized in advance. After all, talent has a siphon effect. Being able to work with Turing Award winners is also a great attraction for many serious young talents.

If we can really keep this big boss at the University, whether it is recruitment or enrollment, it will definitely be many times smoother.

Of course, there are still questions, and Chen Yonggang quickly raised them: "No, Ning Zi, you also said that I just invited people to do academic discussions. And he is also a tenured professor at Berkeley. Is he really willing to stay?" Are you in Ti Da?"

Ning Zi looked at Chen Yonggang and wanted to tell the principal that the professor who was attracted to come for exchanges in March would probably have a hard time leaving. However, he was afraid of frightening Principal Chen when he said this. After thinking about it, he just Neng said tactfully: "Actually, I think that keeping people in the university is nothing more than life benefits and spiritual satisfaction. There should still be a chance."

After hearing these words, Chen Yonggang immediately made a decision: "Yes, Ning Zi, even if they really want to come, they will definitely do it for your sake. In this way, I will give you an idea of ​​the treatment the school can give you. But this Lamar As for the professor's salary at Berkeley, our university can give him a penny. In addition, if he really wants to stay, the school can help him apply for some special treatment, whether it is housing or a residence card, the school will come forward to help him. solve."

After finishing speaking, after pondering for a moment, Chen Yonggang simply said: "Anyway, this matter is left to you, Ning Zi, if it is inconvenient for my professor to ask me, you can just agree to it for me. Just like you said , let’s leave the people behind first.”

"All right."

This was considered complete authorization. Ning Zi nodded and accepted the matter.

It's not that I want to overstep my authority. If I think about it carefully, if I really want to retain someone, he can only talk about it.

After all, even in China, there are too many schools that can provide what the National Sports University can provide, and they can also provide more. Apparently Chen Yonggang has also realized this.

"Since you said that Tim Cook will definitely be able to win tomorrow, I will receive him according to the normal etiquette, so as not to make him think that we are asking for help from Apple." Chen Yonggang stood up and confirmed again.

"Well, it's not a big problem to be tough. Relatively speaking, they ask for more from us." Ning Zi nodded and insisted on his judgment again.

"Okay, if you say so, I've made up my mind, so I won't disturb you."

"goodbye."

Watching Chen Yonggang leave the room, Ning Zi picked up the phone on the table and opened WeChat to check it out.

In the afternoon, Lu Xiaoya sent two messages, one transferring money and one moving picture.

The transfer was 7.5 yuan, which was exactly what Ning Zi spent on breakfast today.

A few words are displayed on the animated picture: "Sister, you have to be strong in your life, and you won't be able to live a soft life."

Ning Zi smiled a rare smile, collected the money, and then quickly typed: "Sister Qiang, you still owe four yuan."

After sending it, I put down my phone and went to wash up.

After I came back from washing, the other person sent me another sentence and two pictures.

"What four yuan? Do you still want to charge for the leg break?"

A picture is simply an incredible expression on a panda's head.

Another picture shows someone being kicked away...

Ning Zi glanced at March, Mao Mao sighed resignedly, and then the purchase price he received when he bought a mobile phone last time appeared in the WeChat chat column, and then he sent it directly. And directly captioned it: "Last time, your purchase price was four yuan short."

The other person responded very quickly this time, probably in more than ten seconds: "It's originally 27192? 6799, brother, you may laugh at me for not being as good at math as you, but my verbal arithmetic ability is very strong! No. To tell you the truth, I scored 108 in math in the college entrance examination!"

Ning Zi was sure that it wasn't someone in the middle who transferred the money to the wrong person. It was really someone who scored 108 points in the college entrance examination who calculated the numbers wrong. Too lazy to talk nonsense, Ning Zi directly said: "So should 9X4 equal 36 or 32?"

Ning Zi looked at the phone screen quietly, waiting for about 20 seconds this time. Probably because someone was in disbelief, he called up the computer on the phone to recalculate the four-digit multiplication, and then a message came from the other side. Zhang smiled extremely flatteringly: "Brother, I was wrong."

Then there was the second picture. It was the girl who had always wanted to be strong. She knelt down on the ground, and there was a sentence below: "I admit that I am stupid, please don't argue with me."

The third piece of news was a four-yuan red envelope that was returned very simply.

Ning Zi accepted the red envelope and couldn't help laughing while looking at her phone. Then she turned off her phone and WeChat and walked into the bedroom.

I have to meet Conan Lamar tomorrow, so I need to go to bed early.

To his great joy, when he entered his dream, he came to a familiar laboratory again. Saw the bored cat.

It seems that the noise is controllable, which is good.

…

Conan Lamar arrived at the administrative building of the National Sports University at nine o'clock in the morning, and Ning Zi went out to greet him in person, which was rare.

This is a rare courtesy.

Mainly because he had seen March's methods of retaining people, Ning Zi still felt a little embarrassed. How to put it, he still hopes that these talented people who have become famous and are still in their prime can willingly stay at the University and contribute to the construction of the University.

However, Ning Zi's character still can't communicate too warmly, but these are not important. After welcoming Conan Lamar into his room, the two quickly got down to business.

Specifically, Ning Zi pointed to his computer and said, "Professor Lamar, why don't you play a game first."

"Game?" Conan Lamar glanced at Ning Zi in surprise, and then moved his eyes to his computer.

After all, he accepted Ning Zi's invitation to discuss academic issues, and he really didn't understand what Ning Zi meant.

"Yes, the game. You try it first and then we can talk." Ning Zi nodded and said.

Conan Lamar took a deep breath, and then at Ning Zi's signal, he moved to the position where Ning Zi usually studied. Ning Zi moved a stool over and sat next to the Turing Award winner.

The computer has been thoughtfully set to display in pure English. At this time, a simple dialog box appeared in front of Conan Lamar.

Conan Lamar glanced at Ning Zi, who pointed at the dialog box and said: "Just enter start, or start, and the game will start."

Conan Lamar quickly typed "start-up" and pressed Enter to send. Soon the computer responded: "Welcome, dear user, to this game adventure. So you are ready to accept the challenge. Yet?"

Looking at the response, Konan Lamar glanced at Ning Zi.

Ning Zi explained: "There are no constraints, just respond directly in natural language. It doesn't even matter if there are small mistakes. This game has an automatic error correction function."

After hearing this answer, Conan Lamar casually typed: "OK."

"At this moment, a person of the opposite sex is walking towards you. Which hair color do you prefer?"

So word play?

Conan Lamar was confused in his heart, and then casually typed: "Golden."

"Suddenly, fog appears around you, and you can only see a vague figure. Do you want this figure to be tall or slim?"

"Slim."

"Amidst the melodious singing, a graceful golden beauty walked up to you. She stared at you and asked a question, dear warrior, would you like to accompany me to fight, take risks, or study the mysteries passed down from ancient times together? ?”

This time Conan Lamar hesitated for a moment, and finally quickly replied, "Adventure."

"So my warrior, in the exciting adventure career that follows, would you rather be my powerful knight, wise counselor, mysterious magician, or weird summoner?"

Conan Lamar wants to complain. After all, this word game is a bit boring. At most, it seems to know his gender from his own answers. But compared to the artificial intelligence technology released by Ning Ju in Youwei Group, This technical content can be said to be not worth mentioning.

He didn't understand why Ning Zi was wasting their time.

But when he turned to look at Ning Zi, the young man probably guessed what he was thinking and said: "Don't let the fog in front of you obscure your vision. If you still feel that this game is not worth it after one or two hours, Just mention it and I'll be happy to compensate you for the time you wasted."

Well, no matter what, Ning Zi's guarantee made Conan Lamar personally suppress his impatience and start to get involved in the game.

There are more and more questions of all kinds, but fortunately they are mostly multiple-choice questions. Occasionally there will be some descriptions of the environment. You only need to input simple vocabulary and the system can accept it. Although I still find it boring, fortunately I am used to it. After playing the question-and-answer game, Conan Lamar didn't feel very anxious anymore.

An hour passed quickly like this. When Conan Lamar answered a question again, the dialog box suddenly popped up: "Thank you, dear player, your preferences and requirements have been included in the database. Then you In what form do you hope this game tailor-made for you will be presented? There are only two last questions left."

This sentence made him, Conan Lamar, stunned. Looking at the choices below, he fell into confusion.

"Using the powerful NMH holographic game engine, it will take you to an adventure game world where the boundaries between illusion and reality are blurred. Note: It takes a very long time. The estimated game generation time is 1380 hours. If you add computing power support, the system operating efficiency can be improved."

"Using the exquisite NMT3D game engine to create a first-person adventure game for mobile phones. Note: It takes a long time. The estimated game production time is 18 hours. If more computing power is added, the game production time can be greatly reduced."

"I only need a two-dimensional picture, and the NMT2D game engine can already meet my requirements. Let me adventure in the world of Paper Man. Note: The time required is short, and the estimated game generation time is 10 minutes."

He turned to look at Ning Zi, who nodded at him.

After a moment's hesitation, Conan Lamar selected the final 2D game screen.

"Wow, there's only one last step left. Do you want to insert intelligent NPCs into the game to make the game mode more free?"

"certainly!"

After entering the last word, Conan Lamar saw the simple dialog box disappear directly, and then a progress bar of game generation appeared.

Conan Lamar suppressed his inner shock and did not ask Ning Zi, but silently waited for the progress bar to finish.

The conversation between the two people in the room did not exceed ten sentences, but of course Conan Lamar already knew what happened.

The next step is nothing more than to verify what he has in mind.

The silence speaks.

The quiet environment can better alleviate Conan Lamar's inner shock.

Soon, the progress bar came to the end, and there was an apk installation package on the desktop.

Conan Lamar does not need to operate, the associated Android emulator on the computer starts automatically, and the installation package starts to be installed automatically.

Soon, a game icon called "Adventure in Search of Miracles" appeared on the emulator, and Conan Lamar immediately double-clicked it to open the game.

The game guide was a blonde beauty, and Conan Lamar could even see the look of the girl he had a crush on for the first time in high school from that face.

Next came the ups and downs of the story. Conan Lamar played for half an hour, and then looked at the progress of the game. The progress of the main plot had reached 10%, and the progress of the side plot was zero. Then he quit the game and looked at him. young people around.

Ning Zi was also looking at him quietly at this time.

Conan Lamar swallowed subconsciously. Of course he understands the value.

Not only the value of this program itself, but also the value of the so-called NMH holographic game engine and NMT3D game engine. And if this thing is slightly modified, it can definitely do more than just games...

Conan Lamar seems to be able to see the near future. A large number of developers have begun to lay off their jobs, game companies have begun to lay off employees, and even game engine companies and special effects companies that have extremely high thresholds will lay off employees like crazy.

When product managers and programmers become one, they can even start to build corresponding products when asking customers about their needs. This is probably an innovation that no capital can refuse.

This technology, which should have been in his imagination, was displayed in front of him, and the impact it brought made the Turing Award winner feel dazed for a moment. The look that looked at Ning Zi was unavoidable and inexplicable.

"This is your latest research result?"

Ning Zi shook his head and replied: "It should be said that it is a by-product. Recently, my main focus is on some research in quantum physics and some personal matters. It is for this reason that I extended the invitation to you. I really don’t have more energy to promote research in this area. By the way, there are only Android installation packages because Apple’s virtual environment requires authorization. If necessary, the software can also generate Apple installation packages.”

"I know this, but I thought your invitation was just to have a simple academic discussion with me..."

Ning Zi made the request very directly: "That is one of the purposes. In fact, I hope you can stay at the University of Sports. I believe that if we can cooperate, we can promote the development of artificial intelligence technology very quickly. Instead of like now This is a small matter. Of course, if you don't agree, we can also communicate for one to two weeks as originally planned. You will have the opportunity to understand the progress of our work in this area, but that's it. Because it is impossible for me to disclose more information to people who are not related to future related research. You should know what these technologies represent."

Conan Lamar has a great expression.

He subconsciously wanted to refuse Ning Zi's extremely direct invitation.

But Ning Zi's last words made him hesitate.

The audacity we just met is indeed very powerful.

If the smartphone assistant upgraded to Youwei Group has improved the ability of artificial intelligence speech semantic recognition by several levels, then the artificial intelligence programming ability shown to him today is equivalent to a qualitative improvement, because this semantic recognition ability It can already be used for extremely realistic production work.

Of course, he still had many questions, such as the formulas summarized by the turbulence algorithm. He also wanted to see what methods Ning Zi used to train the machine's semantic recognition capabilities, and he also wanted to know how many secrets were hidden here.

Really, at this moment, Conan Lamar was very confused, his mind was in a mess and he didn't even know what to say.

After hesitating for a long time, he said: "Ning, what do you mean by staying at the University?"

"The University will provide you with treatment no lower than that at Berkeley, as well as a cutting-edge scientific research environment. The condition is that you need to sign a fifteen-year teaching contract and a related confidentiality agreement with the school."

Ning Zi quickly set out the conditions, and then added: "But one thing is that the research projects you can access will be divided according to your choice. If you choose not to leave China within the agreed time, you will be able to access The most confidential and cutting-edge research projects we have are at the same time. If you choose to shuttle between the University and Berkeley, you will only have access to second-level commercial development projects.”

Hearing Ning Zhe's words, Conan Lamar subconsciously pointed to the computer and asked: "But I didn't promise you anything now, so you let me come into contact with this program. You should know that I am working with Tim Mr. Cook came together, so you are not afraid that I will reveal this without restraint?"

Then Conan Lamar received a confused look from Ning Zi, and the answer he gave was extremely simple and direct: "Professor Lamar, how could you think that such a simple little program would be a research project that needs to be kept secret? In fact, , I show you this little program just because it is really not worth mentioning. As I just said, it is just a by-product. I am not even interested in writing a paper on it and publishing it in "Science" or "Nature". So not only can you tell Mr. Cook, you can even write a letter."

At this moment, Conan Lamar wanted to blow himself up.

"You don't have to give me the answer at this time. Let's have dinner together at noon. I made an appointment with Dominette Duncan. We can sit together and chat casually. It's a very simple meal. By the way, can you use chopsticks?"

"Uh... no."

"If you decide to stay in China, I suggest you learn it, otherwise you will miss a lot of delicious food. Let's go."

"Well, can you wait? I want to copy this game to my mobile phone. This is the first game tailor-made for me. I think it is worth saving." Conan Lamar pointed at the computer screen installation package, asked.

Ning Zi smiled and said, "Of course."

…

It was already one o'clock in the afternoon after Tim Cook had lunch at the hotel.

Fortunately, the hotel that Ge Linyue had arranged in advance was right next to Yanbei University of Physical Education. It took at most ten minutes by car to reach the administrative building of the University. Ge Linyue also lived here last time, so he was very sure about this.

Because after you turn right from the hotel, you can directly enter the main entrance of the University of Sports, and there are no traffic lights in the middle.

So after dinner, Tim Cook returned to the room and handled some company affairs remotely. At one o'clock, the door was knocked, and then Conan Lamar walked into his room with a dazed look on his face. .

This was an appointment long ago.

After Conan Lamar met Ning Zi, the two met each other.

Tim Cook also noticed for the first time that something seemed wrong with Conan Lamar's mood. So the Apple CEO did not rush to ask, but stood up, personally made a cup of coffee for the Turing Award winner, handed it to Conan Lamar, and then asked gently: "What happened? Conan , your condition is not very good."

Conan Lamar took a sip of coffee, then took out his Samsung phone from his pocket. After operating it twice, he handed it to Tim Cook: "Please spend five minutes trying to play this game."

Tim Cook took over Conan Lamar's mobile phone. It was a 2D game interface. The operation was very simple. One hand could control the up, down, left, and right directions, and the other hand could control the skills.

Without asking the reason, Tim Cook began to operate the villain to move on the screen, and quickly became familiar with the combat skills and plot advancement mode. After all, the operation is very simple. Walking into the NPC can directly trigger text reminders. It looks like An adventure game. The magician he controls protects the beautiful woman who follows him, and gradually becomes stronger through each mission and killing monsters...

Five minutes later, Tim Cook handed the phone back to Conan Lamar and asked, "Is there anything special about this game?"

Conan Lamar nodded and said: "It's not special in itself, but if I tell you, this is after I answered more than a hundred questions in just over an hour, and the computer background only took less than ten Is it special to have a game that is automatically generated in minutes? In other words, this game was created from scratch in less than two hours.”

Tim Cook was silent for a moment, then stared into Conan Lamar's eyes and said, "Please talk carefully, but we only have 13 minutes left."

Soon, Conan Lamar briefly described the process of testing the software, but omitted the advice Ning Zi gave him.

"Three options, holographic, 3D, and 2D, correspond to different game engines, and of course the time is also different. But I think a holographic game can be made by an ordinary computer in only 1380 hours, or 57 days. If you borrow A more advanced computer will certainly make it faster. A 3D game only takes 18 hours, and you should know what that means."

"I even suspect that larger online games can even be designed in this way in the future. You know? Machines are more proficient in various numerical calculations than humans, and they can adaptively meet the needs of various consumers. But this Secondly, I suspect this is just a part of a certain project. Software developers can use this method to collect information about players’ requirements for the game. When they have enough information for decision-making, do you know what will happen? ?”

Having said this, Conan Lamar paused, and then said in a sonorous and powerful voice: "The machine will be able to use all this data to understand human needs and create games on its own that can attract the vast majority of people, either. I believe that large-scale social platforms similar to games are possible. In other words, this small program that can be programmed may only be the basic project of a huge scientific research project. But even so, it can already subvert an industry."

Tim Cook was silent for a while, and then looked at the time. It was already 1:48 pm. So he said to Conan Lamar: "Thank you very much, Professor Lamar, the information you provided is very valuable to Apple. But I have to rush to discuss this cooperation. If there is anything you need me to do, You can communicate with me directly.”

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door. After Tim Cook responded, Ge Linyue stood in front of the door and informed: "Mr. Cook, we are leaving."

Tim Cook and Conan Lamar stood up at the same time and walked towards the door.

After all, Conan Lamar couldn't help but said: "I need a suggestion, Mr. Cook, Ning has extended an invitation to me. If I am willing to stay at the University of Physical Education, I will be able to access more research projects. Of course. You have to sign a confidentiality agreement and there's a price to pay in terms of freedom. I don't know what to choose."

Tim Cook paused, turned to look at the professor beside him and said: "If you want advice... I can only ask myself a question if I were you, what I want most in my life What exactly is it? After determining the answer to this question, I think I know how to make a choice."

"Thanks!"

"You are welcome! See you."

"goodbye!"

Ge Linyue silently watched the two say goodbye, then turned his eyes twice on Conan Lamar, and then took steps at Tim Cook's signal.

…

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Yonggang and a group of school leaders greeted him in front of the administration building.

The specifications cannot be said to be very high, but they are definitely not low either. Apart from hanging up banners without much fanfare, all other treatment was given.

After picking up people, exchanging greetings, and taking a photo together in front of the building, Principal Chen enthusiastically welcomed Tim Cook, Ge Linyue, and his entourage to the school's reception room. The two parties spent an hour speaking in extremely official and formal terms. After expressing the deep friendship between the two parties, Apple and his team, accompanied by the leaders of the schools, began to visit the school. The camera reporter took many precious pictures throughout the process.

Obviously this visit was carefully thought out.

For example, I specially showed Tim Cook the current advantageous majors of the University of Physical Education. Students from the School of Martial Arts showed the Apple boss a Chinese performance martial arts and folk dance fusion, and let the Apple team watch the students in the gymnasium. Daily fencing, shooting training, gymnastics training...

We then went to the stadium, human body science research center, and the computer building and supercomputing center under construction, and finally walked around and returned to the only classroom of the mathematics department in the administration building.

According to the previous plan, Ning Zi was already waiting in the classroom.

Ning Zi was looking at WeChat when he saw Tim Cook and the Apple team walking into the classroom accompanied by Chen Yonggang and other school leaders. He also stood up and walked up to shake hands with Tim Cook. .

"Ning, I finally meet you. I believe this will be a very pleasant meeting." Tim Cook said with a smile.

Ning Zi nodded and said: "Welcome, Mr. Cook. Just now I have a friend who learned that I will meet you. Please ask me a question."

"Oh, what's the problem?" Tim Cook smiled and asked.

"The original words are, please help me ask him why the Apple signal has become so poor for no reason, and I still can't read the messages in WeChat."

Well, the atmosphere in the classroom instantly became a little awkward.
