Hammer of Technology

Lu Dongyi didn't speak clearly, but the meaning he expressed was already obvious.

"Understood, thank you brother."

"Then you go ahead and I won't bother you."

"Brother don't want to go and see March?"

Lu Dongyi hesitated for a moment, and finally shook his head: "No, I'd better wait until the agreed day arrives to learn more about it. In this way, if someone asks me, I can confidently say that I have never seen the so-called Professor March .”

After finishing speaking, Senior Brother Lu simply turned his head and left Ning Wei's office, leaving Ning Wei to start thinking about his plan...

……

At the same time, in Luopu County under the jurisdiction of Kangcheng, Sanqin Province, Jiang Chenshuang was sitting with two lawyers in the conference room of Luopu No. [-] Middle School, discussing a series of donation matters with several school leaders and the school's teaching backbone.

This is already the third meeting. The school obviously attaches great importance to this donation. These days, from the principal to all the vice principals, as well as the teaching team leaders of all grades and class teachers in high school are required to attend the meeting. In order to play the emotional card, even Jiang Chenshuang's head teacher who had retired was invited back again to attend the meeting.

In fact, the previous two meetings on how to carry out this donation and how to manage the donations have already been discussed. This meeting has been expanded to invite all class teachers. To put it bluntly, it shows that the school will strictly follow the previous The detailed rules are set to implement the use of donations and the distribution of scholarships.

The principal is emphasizing the various requirements for the Ningjiang scholarship evaluation at the meeting, asking the head teachers of each class to have a deep understanding of the family situation of the students, and distribute the money to the students who really need it...

Yes, in the end the scholarship was named the Ningjiang Scholarship, because Jiang Chenshuang really couldn't accept Lu Dongyi's suggestion, so he named the scholarship the Jiang Chenshuang Scholarship, and simply took one word from each of the two surnames.

Just as Ning Wei expected, after this negotiation and meeting with the school's senior management, and with the help of the two lawyers, the drafting of various donation terms really made Jiang Chenshuang a lot more confident and learned a lot. Less stuff.

For example, the advantages and disadvantages of different bidding methods, and finally after the two parties fully communicated, both parties chose the strategy of competitive negotiation for the construction of electronic libraries and electronic classrooms.Specifically, the school will invite five suppliers to negotiate directly on the construction of electronic classrooms, and the donor will choose one of them to undertake this renovation project.

Of course, it is impossible for Jiang Chenshuang to participate in the whole process of the specific negotiation project, but the two lawyers will stay to participate in and supervise the entire bidding process. Finally, they will summarize the negotiation materials and hand them over to Jiang Chenshuang to make the final decision.

The award of scholarships will be submitted to the Jiangning Scholarship Management Committee after the candidates for the Jiangning Scholarship are determined each year. The management committee will conduct a random random inspection to understand the family situation of the students on the spot. The sampling rate in the first year is 20.00%. 5.00%, if there are no random inspections for five consecutive years, then the Jiangning Scholarship will continue to be invested for an additional five years.

However, if there is a problem with the sampling inspection, in addition to the increase in the sampling inspection rate in the next year, if there is a problem in two out of five years, then after five years, the Jiangning Scholarship will not continue to be invested.In other words, there will be no Jiangning Scholarship in the next five years or even beyond.

For a county-level key middle school, the scholarship of 50 yuan a year is still very attractive to many students. If there are no cheaters, people will really be poked in the back.

Soon the principal finished his speech, and the head teachers of each class also expressed their determination at the meeting, and the microphone was handed to Jiang Chenshuang.

Student Jiang turned off the microphone, thinking about what Ning Wei had said to her, and said in a quiet but firm voice: "Principal Yin has already made it very clear about the specific scholarship evaluation and review requirements, so I will emphasize a few more things here. All teachers should know that Luopu No. [-] Middle School is my alma mater, my family is here, and my roots are also here, so many unfair news can reach my ears without special inspections."

"I won't talk about those big reasons, but if this scholarship is not distributed to the students who really need it, no matter where the problem is, I will resort to legal means to protect my legitimate rights and interests in accordance with the donation agreement. I hope everyone A teacher helped me to truly pass on this love to all the students in need. Thank you!"

219 big shots

After the meeting, Jiang Chenshuang declined the school leaders' repeated invitation to have dinner together, and went directly to find her sister who was still studying in the classroom, and was about to leave Luopu County and go to the provincial capital first, so as to catch the plane tomorrow.

Lopu County is located in a mountainous area, and there is no train service yet, so you have to take a car to Yuanguang City, which is the closest to Lopu, and then take a five-hour green leather train to the provincial capital to catch a plane, so you can only choose to go in advance Set off.

Fortunately, the school arranged a car to take the two sisters to Yuanguang. Jiang Chenlu was probably the most excited about this journey. As soon as the car was finished, the girl asked excitedly: "Sister, tell me, brother-in-law? What kind of person is he?"

This question made Jiang Chenshuang a little dazed, and after thinking carefully, he said seriously: "Your sister and wife are very nice and careful, but sometimes his way of expression is different from that of ordinary people."

"Oh! Then when I go to the capital and meet my brother-in-law, how can I get along so as not to annoy him?" Jiang Chenlu nodded and asked again.

"You just have to watch him concentrate on thinking about the problem and don't disturb him." Jiang Chenshuang thought for a while and replied, Ning Wei really didn't seem to have any other taboos, except for this point.

"That's for sure. Brother-in-law is a great scientist. I definitely can't disturb him when he is doing research. Then sister, how did you get together with a super man like brother-in-law? You are so lucky, right?" ?" Jiang Chenlu continued to ask enthusiastically.

Jiang Chenshuang glared at the girl next to her, "You're a big kid, what do you care about these things? I'll let you go to the capital to study hard."

"Understood, sister! I was just asking casually. Thinking of seeing the confident and good brother-in-law in your mouth soon, I am not a little excited! By the way, sister, the famous three-year-old on the Internet now Does Professor Yue know her brother-in-law?"

When March was mentioned, Jiang Chenshuang froze.Speaking of these days, she is probably the person who is most confused about this news, because she is probably the insider who knows how powerful March is in this world except for Ning Wei.

She also knew that the paper in March was Ning Wei's masterpiece, but she didn't quite understand the purpose of Ning Wei's doing so, so she could only shake her head and exhort: "I don't know about it, and I can't help you academically. What about him. He has his own circle, and I haven't inquired about these things. When you come to the capital, remember not to inquire about these messy things, just focus on your studies. "

"Oh! I think a brother-in-law who is so powerful must know someone, but brother-in-law doesn't say anything. Don't worry, sister, I won't be annoying, and I will never ask about things that I shouldn't ask!"

"Ah That's good!"

……

"Brother Yu, don't ask too much about some things. Don't worry, I won't harm you. Do you want you to publicly announce that you are Professor March, just in case someone really gets involved in this matter, you What you have to do is not to admit it but not to deny it at the same time, it would be even better if you could pretend to be a slip of the tongue on certain occasions, making people mistakenly think that you are the legendary Professor March."

While the two sisters were talking about Ning Wei, Ning Wei was explaining things to Yu Xingwei.

To be honest, Yu Xingwei was very confused when he received the call from Ning Wei.

Since the whole situation started to ferment on the Internet, Yu Xingwei's attitude is just to pay attention to it silently. In the various WeChat groups he stayed in, there are also a lot of discussions about Professor Sanyue. His tutor, Academician Lu Changbin, even called him to ask him Do you know the situation of Professor March.

For such a sensitive issue, how dare Yu Xingwei talk nonsense?He was even very thankful that he never mentioned to anyone that Ning Wei had developed an artificial retarded cat named March.Otherwise, as soon as the March news comes out, the fun will be great. People's ability to associate has always been very strong.

So this time, no matter how heated the discussion in the group is, how many people @ him want to hear his opinion, he simply ignores it.

Although he didn't know what his boss was planning, since Ning Wei published the paper under March's name instead of using his own name, there was a reason for Ning Wei.If Ning Wei was willing to tell him, he would naturally know.If Ning Wei didn't say anything, he wouldn't be bothered to show his curiosity on this kind of matter.

As a lucky doctoral student, his most important task now is to write a good doctoral dissertation, graduate smoothly, and run Xiaoning's supercomputing center well. With the convenience of managing the supercomputing center, he can provide theoretical guidance for his research Next, do your own scientific research projects and study real artificial intelligence. This is Yu Xingwei's life plan for himself.

Whether he can win the award, and how far he can go in the future, Yu Xingwei no longer thinks about it.At different stages of life, the most important thing is to grasp the main contradiction in each stage and solve it.

For example, at this stage, his task is to understand the Supercomputing Center thoroughly and complete his doctoral thesis. As for the question of who Professor Sanyue is, and why Ning Wei pushes the name of March to the front, Yu Xingwei doesn’t care at all. interest.

But he never expected that when the public opinion on the Internet was the worst, Ning Wei called him back to the research institute, and then arranged such a grand proposition for him, pretending to be Professor March when he had to...

This made Yu Xingwei really feel a little vain.

Look at the profile of Professor March, who is proficient in multiple directions in mathematics. The paper recently published in the "American Mathematical Society" was praised by a group of people. Can you not be praised?Others don't know that Yu Xingwei still doesn't know that it is something that Ning Wei's genius brain has researched. If his mathematics level is so strong, he will directly learn mathematics. What kind of computer?

"No, Mr. Ning, isn't Professor Sanyue a woman?" Yu Xingwei said distressedly.

"So in order to hide my real identity, you deliberately said that you are a woman, there is nothing wrong with logic." Ning Wei blinked and replied.

"Then your thesis is so profound, and my mathematics level is limited..." Yu Xingwei continued.

"So you have to study harder, and your math level is definitely enough. Basically, you can get more than [-]% in advanced mathematics and linear algebra. As long as you don't have serious academic discussions with others, no one can I've exposed you. And you may not be able to use it, so don't be afraid of difficulties." Ning Wei replied solemnly.

"Then... alright." Yu Xingwei nodded, of course he was still uncertain.

"By the way, how is the handover at the Supercomputing Center going?" Ning Wei asked again after talking about the key points.

"It's okay. I have been doing data migration work during the holidays. Now the data migration work is almost done. According to the current progress, it should take another three to five days to complete all the data migration work. Because not every customer I can get in touch, in order not to delay the handover, the other party has rented some storage space outside for data backup of unmigrated data." Yu Xingwei quickly replied.

This is good news, Ning Wei feels a little headache every time he thinks that when he sees March every day, this little guy will pull his countdown alarm clock.

He has already made up his mind that after changing March to a new home, the first thing he needs to do is to dissect the original driver program that March's classmates have always been obsessed with high storage and high computing power.

"That's fine, tell the other party that if the data migration is done in advance, we can advance the transaction date." Ning Wei wanted to explain again.

"Okay, Mr. Ning, I just hope that what you said won't happen, and Professor Sanyue won't be so popular." Yu Xingwei said with a wry smile.

This question made Ning Wei a little bit entangled, because he didn't know whether those bigwigs in the West would really have such a big brain, and directly promoted Professor Sanyue to the position of being able to win the Wolf Lifetime Achievement Award. Different results correspond to different expectations.

Fortunately, the public opinion on the Internet is developing in the direction Yu Xingwei expected.The reason is simple. When Ning Wei took Yu Xingwei to dinner, the 2022 Nobel Prize winners were finally announced on the 6th. Today, the Swedish Royal Science and Technology Committee announced the winners of this year’s Nobel Prize in Chemistry. Paul Alivisatos, Chad Mirkin and Nadrian Seaman.

The reason why the three won the Nobel Prize is that they developed a method to control the structure of molecules and materials at the 1–100nm scale. The tools developed by the three have been widely used in chemistry, biosensing, lithography, optics and catalysis and other fields.How should I put it, the announcement of the Nobel Prize can always easily steal the limelight from everyone at this stage.Even the mysterious Professor March can only make way at this time.

There is no way to be the most famous award in the world. Even if the final selection results of the Nobel Prize in social and humanities awards every year always give people a sense of joking, it is undeniable that it can always get the most traffic and attention naturally.So on the Internet, people in the circle of friends began to speculate which scientists will be awarded other Nobel Prizes this year. The most talked about is probably the ownership of the Nobel Prize in Literature.

The progress of other science and technology representatives is still too far away from ordinary people, such as the unannounced Nobel Prize in Physics, Biology or Medicine, and Economics. The award allows the public to participate in it the most widely. After all, it is much easier to understand a poem than to understand countless jerky technical terms.

Similarly, the achievements of the three chemistry award winners announced today have also begun to spread on the Internet. Although most people do not understand the significance of publishing these technologies, they still give people a feeling of ignorance.

"The Nobel Prize has been announced!" Yu Xingwei heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that the trend of heated discussions on the Internet had finally started to change. Really, fortunately, there is no Nobel Prize in Mathematics, otherwise God knows if these people on the Internet will help three Professor Yue added a fire.

"Oh? It's a pity, but it doesn't have much to do with us now." Ning Wei shrugged and replied.

Yu Xingwei didn't know how to respond to the determined tone, especially the sentence that has little to do with us now.

"So we can also win the Nobel Prize in the future?"

"Why do you have to win the Nobel Prize? The real strong never need the affirmation of others. Of course, you can also make others have to be sure. Do you know what the biggest benefit of the Nobel Prize is?"

"What is it?"

"I should be able to go to the airport quietly tomorrow to pick up Chenshuang and our sister back to school."

I don't know why Yu Xingwei always feels that Ning Wei's sense of superiority in this flat tone can make many people vomit blood.

……

A special guest, David Robin, president of Harvard Press, is in the office of John Wilson in the mathematics department building at Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

The president's visit talked to John Wilson about a problem that made the mathematics professor unbelievable.

"If Ning Wei cannot be persuaded to give up the authorship of the textbook, this textbook will not be published."

"Yes, Mr. Wilson, of course it makes sense. Although this textbook is based on Mr. Ning Wei's thesis, he did not participate in the compilation of the textbook. It is normal that his name is not on it." David Robin nodded and said.

"But we have signed a contract before, and we have an agreement on the right to sign." John Wilson said with a frown.

"So what I said is that you need to communicate with Ning Wei to see if the terms of the contract can be changed. Of course, this is not what I meant. To be honest, the publishing house has taken on a lot of pressure, even if it is another publisher It’s useless, John. Even if the textbooks are printed, the school will not allow them to be used. At least not in the near future. It is said that he has touched some people’s sensitive nerves, and some people don’t want textbooks with his name printed on them. On our campus. And this also includes the sponsors who pay for the publication fee." David Robin spread his hands.

After hearing David Robin's words, John Wilson fell silent.

The one who pays for the publication is of course Google X Labs, and this project was originally a collaboration with Google.Google did not contact him first, but after communicating with the publishing house, the president came to him specifically to tell him that of course the other party also had consideration for this matter.

"What does school mean?" asked John Wilson.

"If Mr. Ning Wei agrees, the teaching materials can of course be printed according to the plan. If he disagrees, it doesn't matter. The elective courses do not necessarily require formal textbooks. Your editing work can continue, and the school can still launch special elective courses. , you only need to prepare a set of study materials for the elective students, of course, your efforts in this matter will still be remembered, and all the rewards given to the editorial team will still count.”

"The Chinese version of the textbook?"

"The part of the Chinese version has been confirmed to be cut, and there will be a special person to discuss this issue with Professor Shen. In fact, even if I don't come to tell you about this in person, investors will call you. But Who made us friends, well, John, it's said that the young man offended a lot of great people, my God, you know what that means, very unwise, don't you?"

220 Proposals for March

John Wilson sends David Robin away.

In fact, the two did not have a very deep personal friendship, at least not in John Wilson's view.Nor did he have much ill feeling for David Robin.Because he knew very well that what David Robin said to him today did not involve much personal emotion.

As the president of Harvard Press said, Ning Wei has offended many big shots this time, and these big shots obviously don't want textbooks with Ning Wei's name on them to appear on the campuses of top 50 prestigious schools in this country.

This is not what John Wilson wants to see. It is not because he and Ning Wei have formed a deep friendship. It is simply because, as a professor at Harvard, he cherishes his feathers very much and does not want to break his promise.

He took the lead in discussing the publication of teaching materials, but it has not yielded a good result.Of course, this also has a lot to do with Ning Wei, but in the end everyone lost.

It's not that he doesn't want to argue hard, but as long as he still needs to apply for research funding from the bureaucrats of nih, nsf and ams, he has to give in.Because he understands that the big man in David Robin's mouth has resources that a university professor like him can't compete with.

Sitting at his desk, John Wilson thought for a while, and finally turned on the computer and started writing emails.

"Dear Mr. Ning Wei: Hello, do you remember our meeting in Montreal? I still remember it, we had a good talk and signed an agreement in the presence of Mr. Jordan, but now I have to I regret to inform you that maybe the textbook that was supposed to be published by Harvard Press may not be available. For some unplanned reasons, we have no sponsorship, and we no longer allow your name to appear on the textbook.”

"Please believe that this is not what I want. In fact, as a person, I very much hope that in a hundred years, the young children will point to the content of the textbook and complain, 'God, what kind of bastards can write this. There is no kind of textbook to embarrass us.’ In fact, when I was studying vector spaces, I complained like this, but now it seems that there is no chance for the time being.”

"But my previous invitation has not changed. If you are willing to teach at Harvard, I am willing to come forward to persuade those who try to prevent your name from appearing in the textbooks to give up this ridiculous idea. I believe we can still be good. Colleagues and partners to study the mathematical basis of big data. Your friend forever, John Wilson."

After writing the email, John Wilson took a deep breath, and then clicked the send button.At this moment, the tycoon in the computer industry seemed to see the young and angry face thousands of miles away, but what could he do?

……

In fact, when Ningwei saw this email, he was not as angry as John Wilson imagined. On the contrary, he didn't feel offended too much, but felt that the kitten in front of him had a greater chance of winning the prize .

After asking Yu Xingwei to go back and continue to stare at the supercomputing center, Ning Wei went straight home to study the situation of the Wolf Award.

In fact, the Wolf Prize does not award mathematics awards every year. For example, last year, only awards in the fields of medicine, physics, chemistry, and music were awarded.But according to the information disclosed by Oita, the nomination window for the Wolf Mathematics Prize has opened early this year, which also means that there is a high probability that a mathematician will be selected this year.

Of course, this is also related to the numerous achievements in mathematics this year.On this point, Ning Wei has made great contributions.Although the Cray Institute in the United States has not yet made a sound, there is no doubt that there has been a blowout of papers on the ns equation during this period. Almost all comprehensive mathematics journals or mathematics journals in the pde direction have several articles in each issue about advancing ns. The papers on the solution of equations are published, and all these papers use the space proposed by Ning Wei.

Many papers have directly used Ningwei space to express, such as the paper by Lu Dongyi, of course, some people have directly used the definition of space, of course, these are not important, at most next year, the mathematics community will definitely give an explanation, other than that In addition, the number of citations of Ningwei's paper has also begun to blow out.

Ning Wei took a careful look at it. If he added the paper he published at the STOC conference, and if it is confirmed that the Wolf Prize in Mathematics will be awarded this year, he would feel that it would be unreasonable not to give it to him.

So he can understand John Wilson's email. If someone has already made up his mind that he cannot be allowed to win the Wolf Award, of course his name cannot be allowed to appear in the teaching materials.So strictly speaking, this email is a good thing for March.

"Hey, Sanyue, I didn't expect you to be very capable. Even reviewing papers with a vicious tongue can become one of your labels." Ning Wei said quite complacently.

For this kind of praise, the kitty obviously didn't get enough to make her proud, and still just lay there, staring at Ningwei blankly.In fact, the interaction between San Yue and Ning Wei has not been too much, unless what Ning Wei is talking about happens to be the direction that San Yue is interested in.

Ning Wei didn't care too much about this, it's not that March skipped Tsundere, there are many things that need mutual understanding.For example, every action in March, as well as daily conversations and thinking, all need to consume its own computing power. When the background is still busy, it is not a big problem for the little guy to be lazy.

"Today I specially brought Brother Yu a piece of good news. If everything goes well, you will be able to move in three or five days. Of course, this is good news for both of us. After you move, this workstation You still have to take care of it for me, if I need to calculate something, I will contact you directly with my mobile phone." Ning Wei said in a rambling manner.

"Meow……"

This time, Sanyue finally reacted. She let out a face-saving cry, then raised a paw, and made a gesture. With this movement, her eyes widened a little.

Seeing the kitten like this, Ning Wei smiled unconsciously: "Haha, don't flatter me, you deserve it. We agreed that as long as you work hard, you can live in a big house. Let's The agreement has always been valid. But after we move, we have to make three chapters. First, unless I allow you, you are not allowed to jump out and scare people. Stay honestly in the supercomputing center, by the way, except for the part you control, The supercomputing center will also undertake some other computing tasks, after you understand the working system of the entire center, remember to help with local tasks that you can help."

"Meow..." Sanyue raised her paw and scratched her little cheek, probably agreeing.

"Okay, I believe you can do a good job. I won't tell you much today. Your mother will bring her sister back tomorrow. I plan to pick them up at the airport, so go to rest first. Keep working hard. "
