The End of Technology

Yanbei Sports University, guest house.

Dominic uploaded the picture he had just taken containing only a few Chinese sentences to his computer with a pious attitude, and then began to use Google's intelligent recognition function to extract the Chinese characters in the photo, and then read these Chinese characters sentence by sentence. Copy and paste into Google Translate.

Soon, Google had the results.

There are three sentences written on the manuscript paper...

"If there is an insurmountable gap in the level of civilization, then there is a high probability that it will end at the end of mathematical research."

“The definition of higher-order mathematics, I guess, will probably be expressed in the most natural geometric form, so that the study of numerical values ​​will be more modern.”

“People who are moved and genuinely happy when they see beautiful things are often more compassionate than people who shed tears because of tragic scenes.”

Still don’t understand, still shocked.

What are the twenty-year-olds thinking about right now?

Really, Dominette Duncan couldn't help but think back to when she was twenty.

Although he had successfully entered the graduate program at Berkeley at that time, he was still thinking more about topic selection. He even remembers that what he was considering at that time was nothing more than choosing one of a problem in Lie groups and a problem in the ξ function as a graduate-level topic.

But now Ning Zi is thinking about the problems after studying mathematics to the extreme.

Dominic suddenly felt that the IQ gap between humans could be even greater than the IQ gap between humans and dogs.

Will this damn thing still allow people to live?

Just when Dominic was feeling sorry for himself, the phone placed beside him rang.

Dominit glanced at it, and the note on his phone was Ernest (Fermi).

This also made him immediately think of the other party's identity and how they met him.

The year before last, Harvard University invited three senior researchers from Fermilab National Laboratory to give lectures at the school. Dominic also attended the lecture. After the lecture, he invited Ernest, who was the keynote speaker at the time, to his They chatted in the office for about half an hour, and then the two exchanged numbers.

After that exchange, there was almost no contact between the two, but he still took a deep breath, calmed down, and answered the phone.

"Hi."

"Hello, Dominic, I haven't contacted you for a long time. I heard that you recently went to China?"

"Huh? Do you already know the news?"

"I just finished reading that paper, and I just opened the experimental recording video and saw you not long after. Suddenly I remembered that I left your phone number at that time, so I wanted to ask you about the experimental situation at that time. Well, you should know Which test am I talking about?"

Of course Dominit had thought of it, but he was still surprised and asked subconsciously: "Ning's paper on controlling lightning has been published in Nature? Is it so fast?"

"Quickly? Maybe, but you know, if the research direction of this kind of physics experimental paper is very cutting-edge, the review is not as rigorous as the mathematics paper. The editor-in-chief of "Nature" magazine has great authority. If it is something he is optimistic about, It is possible for the results to be published directly without review. Of course, if it is later proven that the process was fraudulent, the paper will be removed. So, Dominic, you also participated in that experiment, did you see anything?"

The other person asked a very cryptic question, but the restless Dominic obviously didn't hear the implication and subconsciously replied: "No. In fact, I just helped carry the bag containing the target disk. You know Yes, this is not the research direction I am good at. I don’t even know what happened at that time, and then lightning came down.”

"It's not very clear in the video, so the clouds were thick at the time, right?"

"Yes, but not particularly gloomy weather."

"Okay, I know this is a bit too much to ask, but could you please describe the details of the situation? You know, this is very important to us, so I owe you once."

"Well, okay, but I don't know much."

"It's okay, just tell me what you saw. Thank you so much!"

…

At the same time, Ning Zi had brought Ding Yulin to Ning Xiao's dormitory. It's probably not a serious staff dormitory, because the dormitory assigned to Ning Xiao is actually in the community next to the south gate of the school. The building looks to be at least more than ten years old, but it is well maintained.

Ning Zi knew Ning Xiao's attitude towards Luo Yufang, so she hadn't told Ning Xiao and her uncle's family about Ding Yulin yet. Ning Xiao, who came to pick up Ning Zi at the gate of the community, had a very strange expression when he saw the two of them. As soon as they met, he reminded Ning Zi in a very cryptic and low voice: "Ning Zi, your little girlfriend is too young, isn't she?"

Ning Ji glanced at Ning Xiao speechlessly, then at Ding Yulin who was following him, and explained: "Sister, you misunderstood, she is my sister..."

"I know, people your age like this the most..."

"Dear!"

"Sister...uh, what? Luo Yufang?"

"My mother passed away." Hearing Ning Xiao mention this name, Ding Yulin, standing behind Ning Zi, replied.

"Ah?" Ning Xiao was quite surprised when he heard the news, and before he could say anything, Ning Zi said: "The matter is a bit complicated, let's talk about it at your place."

The community is not big, so Ning Xiao, who was confused, quickly brought the two of them to her temporary nest.

Ning Xiao's dormitory is on the third floor. It is the standard two-bedroom and one-living room in the past. It still has a large room and a small living room layout. It looks very historical. But it was obviously too much to use as a dormitory for singles, but it just saved Ning Zi from having to look for Fan Zhenhua again.

As soon as he entered the door, Ning Xiao found an excuse to call Ning Zi into the kitchen, and then asked seriously: "What's going on?"

"Ding Yulin is my biological sister, half father and half mother. I did the appraisal while she was sleeping."

After drawing the conclusion first, Ning Zi told Ning Xiao roughly everything that happened that night.

After it was confirmed that Ding Yulin was not only Luo Yufang's daughter, but also the daughter of her own uncle, Ning Xiao's expression finally softened.

How should I put it, Ning Xiao would not be willing to accept Ding Yulin if she was her half-sister.

But if it was the Ning family, Ning Xiao's thoughts would be different.

Ning Xiao's father had a great influence on Ning Xiao, and Ning Jian was the kind of man who was very traditional and valued blood relations.

So after listening to Ning Zi's explanation, Ning Xiao immediately asked: "Why don't you take Xiao Nizi to change her surname? When do you plan to let her change her surname to Ning?"

Ning Zi shook her head and said: "It's not necessary. I don't think it matters what your last name is. I brought her to your place because I just wanted to live with you here first. I plan to let her go to Yanbei Affiliated High School, which is just right. It’s also around here.”

Ning Xiao waved her hand, not bothering to deal with Ning Zi's attitude, and said: "You don't care? Doesn't your dad care too? Forget it, since she is staying with me, I will go back and tell her. By the way, our uncle You must be happy, right?"

Ning Zi replied: "I haven't let him meet Ding Yulin yet. This girl was not very obedient before. I'm afraid that after meeting her, dad will lose his principles again."

Ning Xiao nodded in agreement and said cheerfully: "You are right! What kind of daughter can that woman educate? She has to temper her temper first. Don't worry, she happens to have a companion when she lives here with me. . When do you think our uncle can come to see this little girl, just let me know. Then I will come back in advance to cook a meal, and you can come and join in the fun."

Ning Zi ignored this sentence, but looked at her cousin seriously and asked: "So, sister, you don't hate her?"

Ning Xiao frowned and said: "What do I hate her for? Does she have a choice? She has a choice. I must hate it, but she has no choice! She was taken away in Luo Yufang's belly, and then The two adults have been hiding her life experience, what can you do to Xiao Nizi? I have always liked to reason since I was a child, one is one, two is two, not to mention that bitches have their own destiny, why God Take away those two people and keep this little girl?"

Ning Zi's eyebrows twitched. He had seen Ning Xiao's so-called reasoning before, and he could basically sum it up with two "whatevers". Whatever she thinks is right is justified, and whatever the Ning family does is justified.

So after knowing Ning Xiao's thoughts, Ning Ji decisively changed the subject: "By the way, how is your relationship with that Teacher Lu?"

Rather than caring about Ning Xiao's personal affairs, he was really worried that Zhuo Mingqian would turn his previous declaration into action.

"Why are you asking this?" Ning Xiao tilted her head and looked at Ning Zi in confusion.

"I remember you said before that you wanted to marry a university teacher." Ning Zi explained.

"That's just casual talk. In fact, Lao Lu is a nice person, but he doesn't suit my eyes. When I realized that he meant something to me, I made it clear to him. By the way, he gave me a gift before the holiday. Bao, I went to the counter and asked for more than 3,000 yuan. I wanted to give it back to him, but he refused to take it, so I simply bought a suit worth more than 4,000 yuan as a return gift, and treated him to a big meal by the way. We agreed with him that we will be friends from now on." Ning Xiao replied cheerfully.

"Oh!" Ning Zi responded helplessly.

He knew his cousin well, she never did things sloppily, and she had the style of a woman who could cut through the mess quickly. When it comes to things like love, if you don't like it, you just don't like it. You will definitely not wrong yourself, and he doesn't bother to ask again.

Just when Ning Zi was about to say goodbye, Ning Xiao suddenly asked: "By the way, speaking of this, how is that Zhuo Mingqian who lives next door to you?"

Um……

this problem……

Ning Zi frowned and asked, "What? Is he harassing you?"

Ning Xiao glared at Ning Jie: "What kind of harassment is not harassment? I just chatted often after adding WeChat. I think this guy is quite humorous. You know, I have liked men with a sense of humor since I was a child. Besides, ask you How about you just say no?"

Ning Zi began to think about this problem.

He really didn't know how to evaluate Zhuo Mingqian. Although he didn't want his cousin to have any interaction with this guy, Ning Zi didn't like to tell lies and slander a person who had always been extremely friendly to him.

After hesitating for a moment, Ning Zi decided to tell the truth, so he answered without any prejudice: "He is a person who believes that the ultimate meaning of life is to engage in pornography."

Ning Xiao was stunned for a moment, and then laughed out loud: "Pfft... Haha... Are you going to say his yellow theory? Thinking about it makes me want to laugh. The ultimate fate of the earth is to turn into a big yellow ball? This This guy is so interesting, he actually made a boring guy like you feel humorous."

Ning Jie was speechless.

He finally understood what it meant to take the initiative. As long as he gave the handle quickly enough, it would be equivalent to losing the handle.

What he didn't understand was when his cousin's laughter became so low.

But Ning Zi didn't intend to delve into this. He didn't understand feelings. If the two of them really saw each other, then let them go.

At this moment, Ning Zi also made up his mind. If Zhuo Mingqian really dared to do anything to disgrace Ning Xiao in the future, he would directly abolish that guy's male function and help him wholeheartedly.

But at this moment, he really didn't want to stay here and continue to discuss Zhuo Mingqian with his cousin, so he said: "As long as you are happy. Ding Yulin will leave it to you first. You are both women, so you should communicate better. ,I go first."

Ning Xiao persuaded him to stay: "You finally came here, why don't you stay here for lunch?"

Ning Zi shook her head and said: "I still have to confirm Ding Yulin's study. You can eat with her. This matter is settled. I'll call you and tell you who to go to, so you can just take her there." .”

Ning Xiao nodded. She naturally knew that arranging for Ding Yulin to go to school was not a simple matter. Of course, for her cousin, it would not be too troublesome, so she nodded and said, "Okay, leave her to me." , Don’t worry, I’ll take her to buy some clothes in the afternoon, and then have a good chat with her.”

…

"Yulin, this will be your home for a while. If nothing else happens, I will find a way to arrange for you to study in the nearby junior high school of Yanbei Affiliated High School. I have already introduced it to you on the way. This is our hall. sister……"

"Okay, no need for you to introduce me, just go and do your business."

Ning Xiao pushed Ning Zi away and said proactively: "Your brother is going to attend to your school affairs, so let's ignore him. Later we will quickly pack up our things and then go to eat. After eating, we will wait until you go to school." , I haven’t gone to work yet and went shopping. How about it? "

"Oh, I can do that." Ding Yulin nodded.

Seeing that Ding Yulin was in a normal mood, Ning Zi nodded and handed her over to Ning Xiao. She must be relieved, and then walked out of the two girls' dormitory.

Walking in the community, Ning Zi took out her phone and dialed Fang Xu directly.

The call was answered almost instantly.

"Hey, Ning Zi, what's the matter?"

"I have a sister who wants to go to Yanbei High School Affiliated, and I would like to ask for your help."

"middle School High School?"

"junior high school."

"No problem! Wait, let me see. Well, the junior high school should officially start classes next Monday, and tomorrow is Friday. How about this, which day do you think you are free this weekend? I asked Principal Liu to come out and have a meal together. meal?"

Ning Zi didn't really want to participate in this kind of dinner, so she simply refused: "But I don't have time these days."

"Oh, that's okay. Let's have my sister come directly to the courtyard of the International Mathematics Center at seven o'clock on Monday morning. I'll wait for her at the door and take her directly to school. By the way, give her name and ID card The number will be sent to me on WeChat later.”

"Okay! Then I'll hang up first."

…

United States, San Francisco, Silicon Valley, Hilton Santa Clara Hotel.

Myron Kermit was lying on the comfortable bed in the hotel. He was very tired and sleepy, but his eyes were wide open and he couldn't sleep at all.

What his friend Conan Lamar said in the bar last night caused him to toss and turn in sleep last night and almost stayed up all night.

Of course, some things not only depend on what he says, but also how he does it.

But Conan Lamar soon showed him the results.

Because this afternoon, his good friend left the temporarily formed working group on the grounds that the school had temporarily arranged an important task - he had to go to Europe as soon as possible to conduct an academic survey.

It is said that the current president of Google personally called him to persuade him to stay, but he could not change his decision.

What's even more annoying is that this guy just finished explaining his reasons in the afternoon and didn't even return to school, let alone say hello to him. He just took a plane and left that night. I guess the plane is flying over the Atlantic Ocean now.

This also expresses Conan Lamar's attitude. He really doesn't want to have anything to do with this research mission.

Otherwise, he would just resign and go back to his school in San Francisco, so why bother creating a drama about going to Europe for research. Myron Kermit is well aware of his alumnus’ status at Berkeley. If he hadn't taken the initiative to investigate, the school wouldn't have even thought of touching him.

In fact, Turing Award winners will receive due respect no matter which university they attend. At least one tenured professor is indispensable, and the professor's personal opinions must be sought first when assigning tasks.

Conan Lamar felt the fear.

Myron Kermit never expected that just a few formulas could scare a world-class scientist like this.

As Conan Lamar commented, since he became the chief technology officer of Cisco, he has hardly invested in basic theoretical research. Naturally, the responsible scientists are responsible for this. Their task is to control the overall technical direction and provide strategic guidance for technological development.

However, the situation we are facing now is two extremes.

Today, he specially invited two Cisco technical engineers who were deeply involved in code rewriting to have a two-hour conversation.

Yet both engineers expressed optimism about the project. This time, Myron Kermit wondered if Conan Lamar was unfounded. But who would have thought that after finishing this conversation, he would receive the news that Conan Lamar was leaving.

He walked cleanly and without any hesitation.

What was given up was not only the position of the consulting director of the temporary working group, but also the special consulting fee of two million US dollars.

Of course, if the problem is not solved in the end, the consulting fee will be greatly discounted, but no matter what, there will definitely be hundreds of thousands of dollars in consulting fees for persisting until the end, but this guy actually gave up.

This also made Myron Kermit have to think about his future.

If something really went wrong with this patent, he could foresee the dire consequences. However, no matter from which angle you look at it, he is the most suitable scapegoat, bar none.

If he chooses to resign, the life he once planned will change.

After all, even if he can successfully return to the university as a professor now, it means that his income will drop sharply to less than one-tenth of what it is now, not counting the loss of the company's incentive stocks.

For Myron Kermit, his retirement life will become less comfortable, and from now on, he will have to plan all his properties more rationally, which will inevitably lead to a lot of constraints in life. After all, although tuition fees in the United States are very high, professors' salaries are really not high, and they also have to face a lot of pressure.

Dilemma of choice, still unable to make up one's mind...

Or could he wait and see?

…

In China, Yanbei is the largest body.

Dominic Duncan roughly recounted the entire experiment as he saw it.

In fact, there was nothing to hide. Although he could be said to have participated in the entire experiment, all he did was accompany Ning Zi to install and dismantle the target used to measure the location of lightning.

And the entire process was actually captured on video.

The only valuable information is probably what he said was his personal experience, which seems more credible.

After explaining, Dominic asked: "This is probably the situation at that time, so, Ernest, why did you make this call?"

The other person quickly answered: "Actually, this is not the first time I have read this paper tonight. In fact, we have already tried to reproduce this experiment on the grassland during the day according to the method in the paper. You We should believe in our strength. We have far more advanced equipment than the test report in the paper, but it failed without any surprise! Not only was the accuracy of the lightning strike point uncontrollable, but the first step was also impossible to complete. "

Dominic shrugged subconsciously and said: "Although I don't know much about physical experiments, I think it must be something wrong with you. For example, the weather? The clouds don't meet the conditions?"

"No, no, no, there are standards for this kind of physical experiment, and we strictly followed the various standards given in the paper. But unfortunately, it was not successful. And we are not the only ones who have not succeeded. As far as I know, you There is also a laboratory in my hometown that also tried the test today, but it also failed. So now we very much suspect that this paper is fake."

Hearing this, Dominic subconsciously sneered.

If he had heard these words before he visited Ning She today, he might have echoed a few words, but at this moment he just felt that the guy opposite was too arrogant...

"Ernest, with all due respect, although I believe you have strict standards for physical experiments, I think it is not possible to perfectly reproduce the experiments according to the standards. Of course, you may have many reasons, but to be honest, I can't find any reason for Ning to falsify. To be honest, you have no idea how great his achievements are. Let's put it this way, the papers signed by his name, including those mathematical papers, I suspect are just him. A small part of the achievement…”

The other end of the phone tried to interrupt Dominit: "No, Dominit, I didn't mean anything else. Of course, maybe he was hiding some of the more critical aspects of the experiment..."

However, this sentence made Dominit start to defend Ning Zi more firmly: "He has no reason, let alone reason to do this. Well, I don't know how to convince you, because there are many things I can't tell you. But What I want to tell you is that if you read some of Ning's research results, you will know that he neither has the need nor the disdain to do such things. So you should review yourselves! Go check the laboratory equipment. Or blame the clouds in the sky!”

The person on the other side was silent for a long time, and finally said: "Okay, I understand. Although I don't know why you admire him so much. Of course, his research on NS equations is indeed admirable..."

"It's more than just the NS equation, damn, that's all I can say. But it's definitely more than the NS equation, mark my words! Ernest!" Dominic retorted loudly.

The Harvard professor didn't even realize how excited he was at this moment.

"I understand, okay, Professor Duncan, let me think about it, maybe it is really a problem with our equipment. After all, the laser generator used in our laboratory is produced by the Germans. His paper seems to give the Chinese A brand of laser generator, or we can try to change a laser generator to see if it can be reproduced."

After hearing this, Dominic's tone began to soften and said: "You should have thought so long ago, Ernest, after all, we are not always right."

"Well, thank you very much for your help. So, bye."

"goodbye!"

After hanging up the phone, Dominic let out a long breath. Inexplicably, he felt comfortable.

So his hands began to slide over the phone again, and he called up the photos he had just taken. He wanted to copy these formulas down, and then tried to see if they could prove it. Only in this way could he and Ning Zi share the same words in the next work... …

Well, that’s probably the case!

…

Fermilab Building, Grand Prairie, Illinois, USA.

In a small conference room, eight people just filled the long table in the conference room.

Ernest Moltz, who had just called Dominite, hung up the phone and then turned his attention to project director Bonita Caslon who was sitting in the main seat on the left.

Yes, his phone was on speakerphone just now, and everyone in the office heard Dominic's reaction.

Of course, everyone's expressions were different.

Disapproval was on most people's faces.

Of course, some people seemed quite surprised.

As for Bonita Caslon, the stern female supervisor in her forties, she was just frowning and thinking about something.

Seeing the looks on everyone's faces, Ernest decided to once again emphasize Dominic's status in the academic world: "Everyone, what you just heard is a 26-year-old who became an associate professor at Harvard University. He will almost certainly become an associate professor at Harvard University next year. The final conclusion given by the mathematical genius who will win the Fields Medal and become a tenured professor at Harvard at the age of 27. No matter what you think in your heart, please think about your achievements when you are 27 years old, and then decide whether to refer to him suggestions.”

As soon as these words came out, several people's faces turned ugly.

Don’t even think about what it was like when you were 27, because even though most of the people in the conference room were over forty, their achievements still couldn’t be compared to that of Dominette Duncan.

Not to mention the Fields Medal that I have not yet won, being a professor at Harvard University is not that easy.

In fact, if there was a choice, at least three people in the conference room would rather go to Harvard and become tenured professors than stay in the laboratory as researchers. After all, the former often have the opportunity to communicate around the world and participate in various academic conferences. Whether it is social status or fame, it will be higher.

At Fermilab, if you can't produce any results, there aren't many similar opportunities. This is especially true for associate researchers who have not yet had the opportunity to lead a work. After all, even if the project yields results, their names will still be ranked behind. There are also not many opportunities to show one's face.

"Well, Ernest, you are right. We should respect the idea of ​​a genius mathematician, although it is a bit incredible. I will make an application report and let the laboratory order a device similar to the one in the paper. To reproduce this experiment. Of course, before doing it again, we can try to modify some parameters and then conduct the experiment. So that’s it for today, let’s call it a night.”

Almost as soon as Ernest finished speaking, Bonita Caslon, the female supervisor sitting at the head of the table, made a decision simultaneously.

Of course, this also has something to do with Fermilab having money.

After all, who cares if there's an extra laser generator in the lab that's worth more than $100,000? Speaking of which, Chinese products are much cheaper than German products.

…

Huaxia University, Yanbei University of Science and Technology, Doctoral Building.

As soon as Ning Zi returned to his dormitory, Yue Yue gave him a big gift.

The monitor was playing everything that Professor Dominic Duncan did after entering his dormitory.

Including browsing the manuscript, and then taking a photo with a mobile phone after hesitation...

Of course the video must have been edited, otherwise it would be too long. After all, the Harvard professor sat there and watched for at least an hour or two.

Ning Zi's lips twitched. When the video ended, he stared at the kitten and asked seriously: "I remember it very clearly. I locked the door when I left, but it was locked from behind."

"Meow..." the kitten meowed, then jumped off the table with its butt stuck out, and quickly ran to the door. Then it turned to look at Ning Jie, then jumped lightly, and jumped on the door handle. I just moved my little foot casually twice, and then I heard a "click" and the door lock was opened directly.

The corners of Ning Zi's mouth twitched even more fiercely.

He suspected that the cat had also learned to play dumb...

Is he asking how the cat opens the door? What he asked was obviously why the professor should be brought in.

After all, no one would welcome someone breaking into their bedroom without permission. Just like animals in nature will use various methods to expel other animals that enter their territory, this is something engraved in genes - territorial awareness.

"Why!" Ning Zi asked quickly, with a serious expression, which meant that the consequences could be serious.

"Meow, because you need a suitable book writer. Well, okay, this title may be too general. It can also be interpreted as that you need an ancient book boy to help you organize your daily documents and combine these theories with Write a book in your name. After all, you don’t have time to do this kind of thing, but it is very necessary, because only by spreading theoretical knowledge faster and arming some people’s minds as soon as possible can your subordinates have enough knowledge in the future. What a qualified general!"

March's answer was something Ning Zi didn't expect.

So this cat really counts everyone. Let Dominic Duncan write a book for him? Isn't that proud guy's pain worse than death?

Ning Zi frowned and asked, "Then why did you choose him?"

"Meow, because he is the most suitable! Let's first take a look at what conditions this person needs to meet. First of all, he must have extremely high mathematical talent. Otherwise, he will not be able to understand the beauty of mathematical ideas that were ahead of his time. And those who cannot understand mathematical ideas in depth will naturally not be able to educate people in what they write, and may even lead to detours for new students, right?"

Ning Zi nodded without refuting.

In fact, the compilation of higher mathematics textbooks is an extremely difficult task. Many higher mathematics textbooks in Chinese universities once contained many errors that seem unbelievable now. Of course, this is also because of the special characteristics of that era - there are too many talents. Too scarce.

It's really reassuring to have someone with a deep understanding of mathematics compile something like this.

"Meow, secondly, this person needs to have enough prestige in the mathematics community, because in this way no one will doubt his level of compiling these mathematical theory books, which can facilitate the promotion of relevant theoretical books as soon as possible, and of course it can also help these new mathematical theories Screen out a new generation of talents with math and science talents on this planet as soon as possible. Dominion has internally determined that it will win the Fields Medal next year!"

"Think about it. A Fields Medal winner vowed to devote all his energy to the compilation of Ning's series of mathematical ideas and methods for the rest of his life. How attractive this is to many people! Even if People who don’t study mathematics should buy a copy and keep it at home just because of the Fields Medal winner’s declaration, right?”

The corner of Ning Zi's mouth twitched again...

Therefore, he couldn't understand the idea of ​​buying a math textbook and keeping it at home. What made Ning Zi even more speechless was that this cat clearly arranged the rest of the life of a genius mathematician in just a few words.

Ning Zi didn't know what Dominette Duncan would think if he heard what the cat said, but Ning Zi knew that if the cat said what he said, he might go crazy.

"Meow, thirdly, the person who writes your book should be young enough. After all, it is too cruel to ask an old man to do such a thing. They have no energy. And you old men with carbon-based life often think about too many things and do nothing. It’s not so pure. Too much utilitarianism will make things sour. The most important thing is that your life is limited. Of course, you need to cooperate for a long time to have a tacit understanding. If you choose an elderly person, you may need to change someone after working with them once or twice. , that would waste too much time.”

"Meow, think about it, future history books will probably write about your relationship like this: The great wise man Ning Zi came up with a wonderful idea, and the writer Dominic Duncan who was accompanying the wise man immediately took out the paper The pen records the intoxicating thoughts and formulas. After understanding them, they spread them to the outside world and spread the fruits of wisdom to the world..."

Ning Zi took a deep breath. This time, the corners of her mouth no longer twitched. Even her eyelids began to twitch.

He probably understood March's thinking and thought it was a good idea, but Ning Zi had a bottom line after all, so no matter how happy the kitten was, he was still very serious, serious, and even a little depressed. He said to the cat angrily: "I don't care how many reasons you have, you will never let anyone into my room without my permission next time!"

March lay down, and Ning Zi suspected that he was dazzled, because he seemed to see a hint of grievance in the cat's eyes, and then the penguin's profile picture on the computer seemed to flash a little faster than usual.

"Meow, I know, I can do it! That's how you carbon-based beings are like this anyway. You won't praise them when you do well. If you don't, you'll scare the cat, and you'll even take it out on a kitten!"

This look, this language...

Ning Zi suddenly realized that something...was wrong with this cat.

Once he had this understanding, Ning Zi quickly found the loopholes in his logic.

He quickly asked: "Wait, do I really need a book writer? Can't you do this?"

This question immediately perked up the kitten, almost putting his paws on his hips: "Meow, your idea is very creative. In fact, if you believe me, I can indeed do it. Of course, first of all, I have to advance the possible problems. Let me tell you, because my mode of thinking about mathematical problems is completely different from that of carbon-based problems, so when compiling books, without instilling auxiliary knowledge, there is no guarantee that humans can really understand it."

Ning Zi probably understood something.

But just to be sure, he quickly asked on QQ: "So has your master ever asked you to do similar work?"

"Meow, of course!"

"Then what? What did your master say about the books you compiled?"

"Meow, he read it for five minutes and said to me: That's a good edit. Don't edit it again in the future. Of course, it only took me 73 seconds to write all the content, and it took him a full five minutes to browse the content I compiled. , so my efficiency is still worthy of recognition.”

The kitten lay there bored and licked its paws. It was probably because Mao Shengshao's regretful past was brought up that he began to simulate mental depression.

Fortunately, this retelling also made Ning Zi understand that March is probably unreliable when it comes to writing books on mathematical ideas.

Dominique Duncan is indeed the best choice.

"But what if Professor Duncan is unwilling?" Ning Zi asked.

"Meow, of course, give me the money!"

"Then you still don't want to pay?"

"Meow, that's even simpler. He's locked up in a small dark room. There are many tasks assigned every day. Only by completing the tasks can he eat normally. If he can't complete the tasks, he can only maintain the minimum standard of living. He will be more motivated to work."

This time Ning Ji couldn't stand it any longer, and March's thoughts became more and more bizarre...

"A dark room? How can you think of restricting a person's personal freedom?"

However, Mao Mao did not reply directly this time. A large red book with a particularly eye-catching title "Criminal Law" popped up in the dialog box.

"Meow, I violated the rules here and have to be locked up in the dark room. Of course he can too?"

Ning Zi was stunned for a moment, then frowned and said, "Which article of the criminal law did he violate?"

QQ started flashing rapidly again, this time there were still various screenshots.

"The crime of illegal intrusion into another's residence:..."

"Espionage crime:..."

"The crime of illegal spying and stealing state secrets for overseas purposes:..."

…

Really, Ning Zi was stunned the moment she saw these screenshots.

He was just annoyed that Dominette walked directly into his room without consulting him, but this cat...

I really want to trick that Harvard professor to death...

"No? A national secret... In March, do you dare to be more exaggerated?"

"Meow, if you hand over the contents of those manuscripts, and then tell everyone that there is a formula in it that can provide key guidance for normal temperature controllable nuclear fusion technology, and then deduce the detailed proof process of more than 300 pages, it will naturally become a state secret. "

Ning Zi: "?"
