Hammer of Technology

Well, at this point, Ning Wei thinks that he probably has nothing to do with this best paper award.

There may be many reasons. For example, although he was the first to give a report, most of the papers were about number theory. In addition, he rejected two waves of invitations from high-ranking bosses in a row. There are some suspicions of being shameless.

Of course, even if I didn’t get the best paper award of the conference, Ning Wei didn’t care too much. Anyway, I have gained enough in Canada this time.

The mentality was completely flat, and Ning Wei was very interested in watching Astro Taylor, the head of Google X Labs, who had lost half of his head, walked up to the rostrum.

"...Well, let me see, ha, I knew it, and I will definitely present the award to this kid. In fact, although I didn't come to the first day of the conference, I listened to the report remotely. In addition to me, many people in the laboratory listened to that report, and I have to say that his theory has a guiding effect on many ongoing projects in our X laboratory."

"Well, let me tell you the truth, I came here just to give him an award. In the words of those young people on Facebook, he is that amazing undergraduate student from China, oh no, it should be by now PhD candidate! Let's congratulate Ning Wei!"

------------

167 Three speeches after winning the award

When Ning Wei stood up from his seat, he was filled with emotions.

Really, these bosses behaved a little more respectfully and corporal, he was really moved.

He had to admit that Astro Taylor's speech was really old-fashioned, and he gave too much face.After listening to his speech, people probably felt that the person in charge of the Google X Lab was invited by the organizing committee to come here as an award presenter because of Ning Wei's face.

It is also a special experience to be praised in such a fancy way by these bigwigs every day.

But when Jiang's handsome appearance flashed across his mind, Ning Wei quickly calmed down from the sugar-coated bombardment of capitalism, and looked up at the half-bald head with a smiling face. It was still sugar-coated at home without comparison. Shells are more attractive.

The applause started to ring out, and the people around him clapped the loudest. Ning Wei glanced sideways at Yu Xingwei and found that he was even more excited than himself.Of course, understandable.Not to mention that the best paper award at the top conference is still very valuable, not to mention that the person on the stage represents Google.

As we all know, Google is a company that has worked tirelessly for decades to make a giant shit stick. They just want to pay and don’t care about returns. They can eat enough by lying down on the advertising fees of the advertising alliance every year, but they have to wave money just to stretch out their tentacles. A technology company that touches every aspect of people's lives is the originator of free streaming. The most brilliant time is to put out whoever can really fire.

At the same time, Google is probably the only company in the world where less than 90.00% of the employees in the money-making department account for less than [-]% of the remaining [-]% are research and development giant companies that only care about spending money and don't consider making money.

This alone can make Google more attractive to ordinary researchers.As long as you prove that your research will be useful in the future, you can get massive financial support, and there is no pressure to generate profits in the near future. Who wouldn't like it?

In particular, the Google X Lab is the legendary future-oriented lab of Google, which is full of masters who are responsible for researching various black technologies. Now the head of this lab has made no secret of Xiang Ning at the conference. Handing out an olive branch, how can it be possible to make people not envious and jealous.

So when Ning Wei stepped onto the stage, he could feel his back was hot, and God knows how many burning eyes were staring at him.

"Congratulations, Ning Wei, your achievements are remarkable. I heard that Professor Wilson is already forming an editorial board to compile the things shown in your paper into textbooks. We are very interested and willing to contribute to the development of this textbook. It turned out to be a trivial effort." The Google boss whispered as he received the award from Astro Taylor.

Well, it seems that his future textbooks will be paid for by Google, Ning Wei nodded and replied with a smile: "Thank you very much for your support and attention, I hope I can have more exchanges with you during my Ph.D. cooperate."

Astro Taylor nodded with a smile. Obviously, he had communicated with the big bosses of the organizing committee, and he already knew about Ningwei's choice, so he was not too surprised. He just said, "Well, I look forward to I can work with you, but now you should be like everyone else and say something to everyone."

Speaking, Astro Taylor pointed to the microphone not far away.

After nodding his head, Ning Wei stood in front of the microphone. He had no preparations, so he could only improvise. Fortunately, this was his forte.

"I am very grateful to the organizing committee of the conference for giving me this honor, but first of all, I still have to correct a little slip of the tongue by Mr. Astro Taylor. In fact, I am no longer an undergraduate student from Huaxia Jiangcheng University. This month, I have joined Huaxia Yanbei University, started studying with my advisor, Professor Tian Yanzhen, and became a serious doctoral student, leaving aside the academic level, but the degree level is really rising."

The first sentence caused a burst of laughter from the audience.

No way, last time at the soda conference, the phrase "I'm just an undergraduate" is really deeply rooted in the academic circles of the younger generation of Western computers. God knows how many young people will not realize it when they are arguing about an academic issue. He popped out a sentence: "Do you think you are still an undergraduate student?" The effect of hitting people is full.

Now that this guy is finally a doctoral student, at least most of the young people at the scene breathed a sigh of relief. Everyone is a doctoral student, at least they won't be despised by others, even worse than undergraduates.

Finally, the laughter stopped under Ning Wei's constant pressure with both hands.

Ning Wei was also able to continue to say the second sentence: "So I am actually very happy to win the best paper award today. Because this is the first paper I won during my Ph.D. You may have seen it. Although I I'm happy, but I don't dare to laugh, because I know that my tutor probably won't be too happy when I got this award today. After all, when I came here, Director Tian felt that I was a bit of a loser. Everyone knows that I study mathematics. , I haven’t done much research on computers. When I finished writing this paper, I chose to vote for the stoc conference purely because I don’t know whether the world’s mathematics community can accommodate me recently, but I’m still grateful. After all, if I don’t vote Conference, will definitely not get the best paper award."

A passage once again filled the venue with joyful laughter, mainly because the sentence "Can the world's mathematics circles accommodate me in the near future" really hit the point of laughter of many Westerners.

What a loss!

You must know that there are still many reporters at the meeting today. Thanks to the person on the stage, a scandal with the princess has caused unprecedented media attention to this meeting. Although Ning Wei has clarified that there is no relationship with Princess Isabel Such a complicated relationship, but the public's attention has not yet dissipated, so there are also countless reporters present at the closing ceremony of today's conference.

Think about it, when Ning Wei's words are delivered by the reporters at the scene at the speed of light, a group of bigwigs in the mathematics world will inevitably be questioned by a group of people, and even the authority of the four top journals may be questioned, let Everyone felt very happy.

It's just that this time, with a smile, with a smile, she gradually calmed down, and Ning Wei didn't even need to express herself on stage.

Because there are always people who think something is wrong after they react, yes, it’s okay to bring a mathematical paper to the computer algorithm conference to give a report without doing business, and you also took away a best paper award at the conference. Laughing at the math community?Doesn't this just make fun of them who specialize in computers?Especially those whose submissions were rejected this time, or papers that were accepted but didn't get any prizes...

The sentence "Computers have not been studied much" suddenly felt a little harsh, and even made people cry.

I thought this guy had slapped the mathematics world directly, but after realizing it, he realized that he was slapped directly in the face, with rain and dew on both sides, how the hell can he laugh?This damn oriental humor, so the mathematics world doesn't play with you anymore, so it's coming to disgust our computer algorithm world, right?What kind of fairy logic is this?So your mentor is upset, are you going to upset us all?

Standing on the rostrum, Ning Wei didn't feel that there was anything wrong. After all, what he said was the truth, and he hadn't been notified in advance that he would win the award, so he thought of what to say in this award acceptance speech.

For him, the audience was quiet and it was time to say the third sentence: "So I am really grateful to the organizing committee of the conference for accepting my paper. I will continue to cultivate my major in the next doctoral stage. If next year I can still have research results by luck, and I will definitely continue to work hard to share the results with you again at this world computer algorithm event. I look forward to seeing you again! Finally, thank you again!"

So, this product is not enough?Still coming?

When this idea popped up in their minds, really, not many people thought they should applaud.

So the first thing that sounded was the sparse applause from the rostrum and the leaders in the front row of the venue. It took a long time to reach the back row, but the applause was obviously not very enthusiastic.

The meaning expressed by such unenthusiastic applause probably means, please be a human being!Damn you mathematics world, no one expects to see you here again!

Of course, the complex mentality of these young people could not be expressed on the spot, so Facebook and Twitter became lively again.

"Hehe, can someone from the mathematics world take away that Huaxia doctoral student on stage?"

A sentence accompanied by a picture of Ning Wei speaking on the rostrum will definitely not make people mistaken.

"The soda tragedy happened again. I thought this guy had changed his ways, but I didn't expect him to get worse!"

"I decided to hate mathematicians from today, mathematicians friends who follow me on Facebook, please block me, thank you!"

"When he said the second paragraph, I actually laughed. I laughed and laughed and cried again! Thanks to Dr. Ning, I rubbed my IQ on the ground again."

"I admit that he is a very talented guy, but his bad personality is obviously inversely proportional to his talent!"

"I just want to ask, is Dr. Ning polite if he won the best paper award and still says he is an amateur?"

……

When Facebook and Twitter started to explode, Ning Wei had already walked off the stage with a smile, sat back in his seat, and asked Yu Xingwei leisurely: "How about my speech just now?"

"It's so cool! I, a doctoral student in computer science, only feel mixed feelings in my heart, but I think Academician Tian should be very happy, and he will be proud to have a student like you. The only problem is probably that you If you keep this kind of honest speaking style until you don’t turn a corner, there is a high probability that you will have no friends in the future.” Yu Xingwei gave his opinion very tactfully.

"Oh, that's okay, I already have girlfriends, why do I need friends? Besides, we came to the conference to conquer, not to make friends." Ning Wei nodded and accepted Yu Xingwei's comments.

Yu Xingwei nodded, and then made up his mind in his heart that next time he has the opportunity to attend a similar meeting with Ning Wei, unless the meeting is held in China, he must not have casual contact with other people, especially young people. On the ground, he was afraid of being beaten.

No matter what kind of thoughts everyone holds, after several team awards were presented, the annual soct conference finally came to a perfect conclusion.Not surprisingly, Ning Wei once again murdered countless media headlines with his three-sentence acceptance speech at the closing ceremony.

Some people leave without taking a cloud with a wave of their sleeves.

Some people leave because they can't see the clouds are calm and the wind is calm. They have to fire a few cannons into the sky, it is best to attract a storm, and then dodge away.

Ning Wei is obviously the latter.

After all, I was originally a person on the cusp of the storm, and with the help of a group of young scientists on Twitter and Facebook, especially the sentence that the mathematics world does not know whether I can accommodate me, it has become the essence of the media's rush to report , watching the excitement is not a big deal...

Ning Wei slipped away early, and the bigwigs who participated in the meeting became the targets of harassment by the reporters.

"Mr. Taylor, do you have anything to say about Ningwei's acceptance speech? Has his paper reached the level of being published in a top journal in mathematics?"

"Professor Wilson, what do you want to say about Ning Wei's paper not being submitted to a mathematics journal, but to the SOCT conference?"

"Professor Luo Di, you have always been good friends with former Fields Medal winner Professor Lucasson Friend. Do you have anything to say about Ningwei's speech today? Or please comment on Lu Is Professor Carson Friend's performance in the previous paper incident okay?"

There are even more unkind ones.

"Professor Smith, is it normal practice for seniors in the mathematics circle to suppress newcomers? Also, is it because you can't get used to those decadent behavior patterns that you gave up mathematics and changed to majoring in philosophy?"

……

The troubles of the bosses have nothing to do with Ning Wei.

Before today's closing ceremony, he contacted Feng Shaojie and made an agreement with this brother, and then took him and Yu Xingwei out.

Having established a relationship with classmate Jiang, Ning Wei felt that he should bring some small gifts when returning from abroad.

The people around him are not very reliable, so I can only think about what to give for myself. According to his grasp of Jiang Chenshuang's character, at the current stage of getting along with the two of them, it is probably only suitable to give some gifts that are not too expensive, but relatively expensive. Unique little gift.

Hearing Ning Wei's request, Feng Shaojie directly dragged the two of them to a nearby large Costco supermarket.

"Believe me, the things here are high-quality and cheap, and they can definitely meet your needs. I hope that the gift you choose can satisfy your girlfriend." After parking the car, Feng Shaojie turned his head and said to Ning Wei.

Feng Shaojie acted sincerely, but Ning Wei always felt that Senior Brother Feng had some malicious intentions.

But all came, and the three of them walked into the supermarket.

"For example, a box of chocolates is only $2.8. Back then, I brought chocolates to my girlfriend from Canada. She was happy all afternoon." Walking into Costco, Feng Shaojie pointed to the chocolates on the shelf and introduced enthusiastically. .

"Oh? That's right, let's buy two boxes!" Ning Wei took the chocolates off the shelf in a kind manner, and then asked casually: "By the way, Brother Feng, what reward did your girlfriend give you for being so happy?" ?”

"Haha...you are still young, there are some things that I can't tell you..." Feng Shaojie answered a little awkwardly.

"I think he might have been kicked out of the apartment by his girlfriend." Yu Xingwei said quietly beside him.

168 Some People Always Become the Sun

"You little brother, I don't even know what to say about him! He can really cause me trouble! Tell me, how did the professors at Jiang University educate him? They made everything bigger. Poked it? Yesterday I at least answered more than 20 phone calls because of his acceptance speech at the conference! Those who knew it was the kid who made his own way, but those who didn’t know thought I taught him to say that! Tell him, I might teach him Say something like that?"

Early on Sunday morning, Lu Dongyi was called to the office by Tian Yanzhen, and before he could sit down, he heard a rebuke.

Although it wasn't him who complained, but the junior brother was still in Montreal, so naturally he couldn't hear these complaints, so he had to suffer first.It's good that no one is around. When Ning Wei comes back, Tian Dao's anger will most likely pass.

"Actually, what the younger brother said is correct. Besides, the younger brother is still young, so it's okay to be young and frivolous. Those seniors shouldn't have trouble with him, right?" Lu Dongyi helped Ning Wei explain a sentence .

"Don't help him talk, I think he is too lazy to develop in mathematics. He offended so many people at once, does he really have no idea about future awards? Tell me, I have already nominated him for this year's Wo Well done to him for the Golf Award, I don’t know if the mathematics world can accommodate him, I have nominated him, what do you think the other judges think?” Tian Yanzhen asked.

"Director Tian, ​​in fact, if you think about it in a different direction, maybe the junior brother will put his words directly on the surface, and it would be even worse for the other judges not to choose him? After all, with the achievements of the junior junior brother, at least this year it will be difficult to find a result. A mathematician who can be compared with him, right? Advance the understanding of the NS equation, groundbreaking Ningwei space. Proved the KLS conjecture, plus this paper at the SOCT conference. Adding these together, the Fields Medal is also That's enough. If you're stuck with a Wolf Award now, doesn't it mean that the mathematics world really can't tolerate juniors?" Lu Dongyi retorted.

Hearing these words, Tian Yanzhen looked at Lu Dongyi suspiciously and asked, "Dongyi, did you discuss with Ning Weizao about coming here?"

Lu Dongyi quickly shook his head and said, "How is it possible? Besides, how could I know in advance that he will win the best paper award of the conference?"

Well, honest people can still believe what they say, Tian Yanzhen shook his head helplessly and said: "Let me tell you, don't learn from your little brother. But you are right in saying something , Now a group of people are afraid of Ning Wei's nonsense, begging him to publish a paper in the four major mathematics journals as soon as possible."

"Ah? This shouldn't be the case, right?" Lu Dongyi was stunned by Tian Yanzhen's words. Such a statement is really a bit exaggerated.

Tian Yanzhen explained angrily: "Of course it is impossible for people to say it clearly, but they must understand what they mean explicitly and secretly. Let me tell Ning Wei that he has achieved results again. Even if he submits to a mathematics journal, his paper Everyone, hurry up and post an article earlier, lest a group of professors be embarrassed by a group of students every day!"

"Many foreign students like to be serious about this kind of thing. Whether it is a professor or those journal editors, they open their mailboxes every day, and one after another emails are asking about this kind of thing. Who can be in a good mood? I have a little relationship with Lucasson. When a better professor goes out to give a lecture and answers students' questions, don't you think it's embarrassing for someone to ask such a question?"

Lu Dongyi was silent, he really didn't expect this level, if Ning Wei did it on purpose, this is driving that Professor Lucasson Friend to death!After all, professors in the academic circle, who can not care about face at all?Of course, this kind of thing is indeed a double-edged sword. Ning Wei makes everyone feel bad. Who can feel better after seeing him?

"In short, I guess this is probably the situation now. You are close to Ning Wei, and you still have to persuade him more in the future. Not everything is suitable for public speaking. He is still young, and it is not a bad thing to make more friends. If It doesn't matter if you can be smooth sailing all your life, but who can guarantee that you will never have a low point in your life? When you are proud, you are too public, and if there is any trouble in the future, who is willing to speak for him?" Tian Yanzhen said with emotion.

"Actually, there is no need to be too pessimistic. The ability of the junior brother is there. At least now he really has a place in the computer algorithm circle." Lu Dongyi gave a different opinion.

"That's because they are still thinking about him and want to dig him out. Didn't you see the scandal between him and the princess? How could it be such a coincidence? But to be honest, if your little brother is an ordinary talent, you want to go out." I also agree to study for a few years and do more exchanges to gain knowledge. But considering his current level, I really dare not let him out. It is easy to go out, but I am afraid it will be difficult to get him back. Slightly." Tian Yanzhen ramblingly analyzed.

"If that's the case, think about it, at least my junior brother and that princess aren't really in a relationship, otherwise wouldn't it be more of a headache for you now?" Lu Dongyi nodded and said.

Hearing this, Tian Yanzhen was taken aback, the anger accumulated all day yesterday suddenly disappeared.

Yes, if Ning Wei wants to live with the princess, who can stop him?It can't be said that he will be a lifelong academician of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences in the future. Compared with this, the dissatisfaction of several colleagues seems not so unacceptable.At least the little guy's heart is still in Huaxia, and he's still at Yanbei University...

Of course, the high probability is not on him.

After all, the two have not been in contact for a long time, and Tian Yanzhen doesn't think that such a short period of time can establish a very deep teacher-student friendship.

"Ahem, Dong Yi, what's the relationship between Ning Wei and that classmate Jiang from the School of Economics now? Have you made it clear between the two?" Thinking of this, Tian Yanzhen immediately asked.

"Junior Brother has already said that on Weibo, so it should be clear?"

Lu Dongyi rubbed his head subconsciously: "Anyway, he probably didn't have any before leaving, and Ning Wei doesn't seem to communicate with classmate Jiang very much. As for whether the two of them talked about anything after the past, I don't know."

"Tell me about you. You are with Ning Wei every day. You should pay more attention to this kind of thing. So, Ning Wei will come back tomorrow? Go back and ask that classmate Jiang, and try to let her go with you tomorrow Take the plane." Tian Yanzhen said.

"Junior Brother's flight will probably arrive in the capital at seven o'clock tomorrow morning. After passing through the customs, it may be after eight o'clock. And there will definitely be classes in the morning on Monday tomorrow." Lu Dongyi replied sternly.

"Don't you know how to work around it? There are classes that can be adjusted! Say hello to the professor, and adjust the time of one or two classes, and it's over? You should first ask what class it is, do you want to coordinate it? Call me as soon as you come down, and I will go to the leaders of their courtyard to coordinate. In short, you tell that classmate Jiang directly that there will be no classes at least one or two quarters tomorrow morning. All right, you can do this."

"Oh! Okay, Director Tian." Lu Dongyi walked out of Tian Yanzhen's office, and suddenly the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, so he was summoned to complain on this rest day, just to ensure that Ning Wei got off the plane tomorrow Can you see the little lover you miss?

……

In dormitory 202, every Sunday morning is the stipulated self-study time in the dormitory, and free activities are allowed in the afternoon.So the four girls in the dormitory sat at their respective desks and read books seriously. Occasionally, they would stand up and go to their roommates to discuss in a low voice, but it would not affect the other two.

This is probably one of the differences between prestigious universities and ordinary universities.Children who can be admitted to prestigious schools often have a clear plan for their life and understand the importance of learning.Even in a relatively relaxed university environment, you can complete your study plan with strict self-discipline and step by step.

Even if someone wants to slack off, but under the influence of the hard work of the surrounding students, they cannot completely let themselves go. This is the influence of the school environment.

For example, some schools shouted in the dormitory, "Come to play black", everyone in the dormitory responded one after another, took out their mobile phones and started playing the king, even if they played the game for a whole day, they would not have too much psychological burden.

But if there is a call from the school to start the blackout, no one in the dormitory responds, and other people are still reading books and discussing the topics of professional courses, even if they play games by themselves, they will feel boring, and even wonder whether they will There is too much sense of urgency to be left behind by everyone.

Even those academic masters who have shown inhumanity in high school will subconsciously restrain themselves in this environment where the smartest people in the country gather together.After all, top universities like Shuimu University and Yanbei University never lack the kind of students who are obviously talented and work hard.
