Hammer of Technology

Although the preparations for the March Artificial Intelligence Foundation, the March Artificial Intelligence Award, and the journals were successfully put on Lu Dongyi, it also meant that he had to do other things himself.

Especially after organizing the negotiations with Huawei in March in the afternoon, Tian Yanzhen called him to the office again, and discussed with him in depth about setting up another artificial intelligence research institute in the research center.

For this decision, Ning Wei naturally raised his hands to support it.With this brand, it means that the research institute itself can cultivate enough talents for his next career.As long as people come in, there is always a way to keep them, and Ning Wei is still very confident about this.

But Tian Yanzhen also directly told Ning Wei that Yanbei University originally had its own artificial intelligence research institute, as did Huaqing University next door. Now the research center is building a new research institute of the same type entirely because of the March skyrim.So with Ningwei's achievements and influence at this stage, and the help of these old guys, it is no problem for this research institute to be established, but at the same time it must have its own characteristics.

The first thing to solve is the problem of curriculum arrangement and teaching materials.If what you learn here is the same as other things, then there is no need to apply.So this requires Ning Wei, who is the most knowledgeable in the entire research center, to design research topics and teaching materials for the graduate students who are admitted to the college, select suitable tutors, and formulate the training plan for the research institute.

For example, after the establishment of the research institute, how many people need to be recruited to cultivate theoretical research directions, what research directions are there, who are suitable domestic and foreign tutors for each research direction, what textbooks are used, and whether it needs to be re-edited.How many people can be recruited to train artificial intelligence applications, the direction of study, the place to practice...

All these need Ning to plan for himself, just like this, just after all the things that need to be prepared recently have been distributed, Director Tian asked him to take on a new burden.The only good news is that he still has four or five months to prepare for this matter.But what makes Ning Wei very depressed is that things seem to be getting more and more done.

In particular, he has deeply felt that it is not only he who has given up the treatment, but even Director Tian seems to have approved of his behavior of smashing the cans. , I hope to bring him to the right path, and at least express my expectation for him to win awards in the future.But now Lao Tian didn't tell him these things at all, and he didn't even bother to emphasize that he should focus more on scientific research.

At this time, Ning Wei didn't know whether to be lucky or sad. Just when Ning Wei finished posting Weibo and began to reflect on himself, Yu Xingwei called.

"Hey, Mr. Ning, just now the chairman of the Wolf Foundation called me again and informed me of a very unfortunate news. My Wolf Prize in Mathematics has been cancelled. The main reason is the paper published in the "Annual Journal of Mathematics", but it has been able to prove that the real author is not me. Although this is a scientific test, everyone decided not to condemn this matter, but in the spirit of fairness and justice In principle, this award must be withdrawn." Yu Xingwei stated a fact very calmly on the phone.

"Brother Yu, if you cancel it, it will be cancelled. Don't be discouraged. You will definitely win many awards in the future based on your ability. The Wolf Award is really nothing. You see, I haven't won any international awards." Ning Wei comforted him earnestly, after all, Yu Xingwei really dedicated his life to science this time.

"President Xiao Ning, the cancellation of the award is something I expected, but he notified me of this news is not the main point, it should be incidental. In fact, he mainly wanted to contact you." Yu Xingwei explained.

"Oh? Why contact me?" Ning Wei was a little confused.

"Didn't they say that the basis for selecting the Mathematics Award this time is mainly because of that thesis, and now it can be proved that you wrote that thesis, so after the jury meeting and research, combined with your achievements in this year Mathematics achievements, and to ensure the credibility of the Wolf Prize, so I decided to change the Wolf Prize in Mathematics to you, but your phone can't be connected, and the confirmation email has never been returned, so the call came to me. Then Mr. Chairman, I hope you can give him a call back so that we can discuss the awarding matters." Yu Xingwei explained.

Ning Wei was taken aback by this coquettish operation, and wondered: "If we really want to ensure the credibility of the Wolf Award, shouldn't we just cancel this year's mathematics award silently, and minimize the impact in this way , What the hell is it to temporarily replace the award?"

"I don't know. It's probably because your achievements, boss, have made them unable to look directly at you. You think that if you don't kneel and lick you, the entire jury will be ashamed? In fact, thinking about it the other way around, boss, you are indeed receiving this award. I agree very much. No one in the world of mathematics dares to ignore your achievements, boss, feel proud!"

Ning Wei thought for a while and said, "Don't make trouble, think about it from another angle, maybe they just want to trick me to the award ceremony, and wait for me to go on stage to accept the award and give a speech. A group of people rushed in and destroyed me humanely. Thinking about it this way, don’t you feel much more comfortable?”

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

254 Definitely this time

Although he knew very well that it was impossible for him to attend the Wolfe Awards Ceremony, Ning Wei still thought that he had to call the chairman of the People's Foundation.The reason is also very simple. He doesn't want to break the Westerners' perception of Chinese people as friendly and respectful by himself. If nothing happens, he would rather feel sorry for the primary school thought and moral teacher.

So Ning Wei wrote down the number left by Chairman Shechtman, opened the mailbox by the way, and asked March to pick out the email from the Wolf Foundation from countless unique emails and glance at it.

The reason for giving him the award back is actually similar to what Yu Xingwei said, except that the wording is more formal.By the way, he also listed his achievements this year, which somewhat made Ning Wei feel a little embarrassed.How should I put it, probably because he didn't see this official annual summary, he almost forgot that he already had so many outstanding military exploits.

Of course, the most important part of this email is that the Wolfe review committee expressed understanding and was very polite about this behavior. The Turing test, everyone is for a better world and scientific progress. These are understandable .

Ning Wei could feel the emotion conceived between the lines, and he felt that the person who wrote this email probably had tears in his eyes.It's a pity that this is just an email. If he puts the paper mail from a hundred years ago, maybe he can still find traces of tears soaked on the letter paper.

Thinking about these things in his mind, Ning Wei dialed Dan Shechtman's phone number, no more, no less, and after hearing three ringtones from the phone, the call was connected.

"Hello, may I ask who you are?"

"Hello, Mr. Shechtman, I'm Ningwei."

Dan Shechtman's emotional voice came from the phone: "I finally got in touch with you, Mr. Ning. God, you remind me of the hermit Perelman in the mathematics world. Really, I want to be like you It is difficult to connect with geniuses. But I think you will not refuse to participate in our annual Wolf Award ceremony like him, will you?"

Ning Wei replied: "I don't dare to compare with Mr. Perelman, but I have the same idea as him. I am very grateful to the judging committee for their kindness and decision to award this award to me, but I really don't have time to attend the award ceremony .”

"No time? This answer is really too perfunctory, Mr. Ning, you have made such a big joke with the whole world, don't you want to say hello to everyone at the awards ceremony?" The voice on the phone was still gentle.

"Haha, that's the problem. You may not know it. I'm naturally timid, and I'm most afraid of being beaten. There is an old saying in Huaxia. Many times when I go there, I'm fine, but I can't come back." Ning Wei was very happy. Tell the other party your worries frankly.

Dan Shechtman: "…"

Probably because I really didn't know how to answer Ning Wei's words, the other end of the phone hesitated for a long time before saying: "Mr. Any problem, after all, the world cannot afford the loss of a genius like you who falls for no reason. As the most dazzling star among the winners this time, if you can't come, it will make this award ceremony a lot less attractive."

"Thank you very much, Mr. Shechtman. Really, I really believe in your words. But I have a proposal. If you really want me to participate in this award ceremony, I have an idea, but I need Let's take a step back, would you like to hear it?" Ning Wei said sincerely.

"Of course, you say."

"As long as the location of this year's offline awards ceremony is selected in any city in China, I am willing to attend on time. If it is the capital city, it is better, so that I can help you contact the venue for this awards ceremony. In addition, I also very much hope to fulfill the friendship of the landlord. I don’t know if you have been to the capital? Have you been to the Forbidden City? I have been, and I can be your tour guide.” Ning Wei sincerely invited.

Dan Shechtman: "…"

It's hard to imagine that everyone is obviously very polite, but Ning Wei makes him feel speechless every time he says a few words.Dan Shechtman does not know whether this kind of thing has happened in history, but he thinks that it is definitely not something that can be explained by taking a step back for a certain winner. Because he couldn't figure out where Ning Wei's step back was, and at the same time felt that if he agreed, then this step back would be too big...

In the end, Dan Shechtman responded politely: "Well, this is indeed a good suggestion, and I will consider it carefully."

This answer probably did not satisfy Ning Wei, and he continued: "Actually, there is another way, that is, to award awards globally! Keep the trophies and medals first, and then award them to the winners at an appropriate time. For example, next year we will The March Awards are officially launched. I will definitely invite you to be a guest at that time. At that time, you will also bring my medals or trophies to Huaxia and hand them over to me. I think this is more ceremonial. What do you think? Woolen cloth?"

Really, Dan Shechtman really wanted to say to Ning Wei at this moment: "You are so good at playing, how about I be the chairman of the foundation for you?" But he held back because he knew that the person on the other end of the phone How hot a young scientist is at this time.And after talking about these few words, Dan Shechtman himself is not sure if Ningwei can go back intact if he goes abroad at this time, after all, he really wants to keep this big boss in the future. country.

In the end, all the complaints in my heart turned into one sentence: "Okay, we will carefully consider your proposal, Mr. Ning."

Ning Weiye responded politely: "Really, thank you very much for your understanding."

Then the two sides ended the call in an extremely friendly atmosphere.

Hanging up the phone, Ning Wei looked at the time. It was already eight o'clock in the evening. Thinking that Jiang would come to accompany him after the self-study at nine o'clock, he couldn't help but relax, put down what he was doing, and went outside to prepare Taking a breath, he thought about the development direction and preparations for the preparation of the artificial intelligence research institute. What surprised him was that when he went out, he saw Liu Wei wearing unlined clothing in the cold and windy yard, with one hand behind his waist, With one hand on the ground, he was doing a standard-looking one-handed push-up.

Single clothes can't completely cover the tense muscles in the arms, Ning Wei is touching his chin, but his brain power is based on Liu Wei's height, weight, and in this state of body imbalance, how much strength is needed to complete a single Hand push-ups can actually be reduced to a geometric and physical problem.

Of course, Ning Wei can only do a simple theoretical restoration of the complex exercise movements of the human body. After all, this is a whole-body exercise, and it also involves the strength of the abdomen, waist and legs for support, but even after approximate calculations , Ning Wei found that theoretically speaking, he definitely cannot restore this kind of action now.

The perceptive Liu Wei probably sensed that Ning Wei had walked out of the room. After straightening her arms, she stood up. While moving her arms, she nodded to Ning Wei and said, "Dr. Ning."

The way of getting along is very warm, although it is only a day and a half since I met Liu Wei, but Ning Wei feels that he has adapted to Liu Wei's existence.In fact, if we really want to be more serious, there is no problem of adaptation or inadaptation at all, because Liu Wei is actually a person who is very good at hiding himself. Basically, if Ning Wei has nothing to look for him, he will not wander around Ning Wei. Not much to say.

When Ning Wei was looking for him, he would always appear by his side at the fastest speed, and this fastest speed could even be counted in seconds.Even at home.Because Ning Wei knew that the house next door to the house he bought had been rented by the company behind Liu Wei, so now Liu Wei is not only his driver, but also his neighbor, and he can also be the one who is very happy in the research center. A research partner is the kind who can chat casually as long as they don't discuss academic issues.

"What about exercise?" Ning Wei responded casually.

"Well, I'm used to it. It's uncomfortable not to move every day." Liu Wei said honestly.

"Let me suggest to Director Tian that we can add some horizontal bars here. By the way, I was invited to attend the Wolf Awards ceremony in Israel next month. By the way, it's not cool for you to wear something like this ah?"

A very jumpy way of chatting, but fortunately Liu Wei has a strong ability to grasp the key points.

"Going to Israel? I'm afraid it's inconvenient right now, Dr. Ning. To be honest, after our comprehensive judgment, if you want to go abroad in the near future, the risk is actually relatively high. So if you want to listen to my advice, you should It would be better to decline this invitation." Liu Wei said pertinently.

"Brother Liu, aren't you confident enough in yourself?"

"It's not a question of self-confidence. It's mainly because there are too many uncertainties in other people's territory." Liu Wei smiled wryly.

"Actually, that's what I thought too, so I also made a suggestion to him, hoping that they would consider holding the award ceremony in our country, so that both safety and award acceptance can be guaranteed." Ning Wei clicked Nodding, said.

After hearing Ning Wei's words, Liu Wei was obviously surprised, looked at Ning Wei and asked, "They actually agreed?"

Ning Wei nodded, and said solemnly: "Yes, the chairman of the Wolf Foundation told me that he will definitely do it next time!"

"Next time?" Liu Wei took a deep breath, and then let it out.

"Yes, next time!" Ning Wei nodded seriously.

After looking at each other for about ten seconds, the two laughed at the same time.

"Haha, Dr. Ning, it turns out that you are quite good at telling jokes." Liu Wei said with a big laugh.

"Where, I'm just very emotional. I used to honestly want to say something from the bottom of my heart. Except for a few friends around me, few people are willing to pay attention to it. Now I'm joking with those famous people, and they have to hold their mobile phones. Listening carefully, it seems that the people around me have suddenly become very patient, and now I think about it, I feel quite happy, but I have offended a lot of people." Ning Wei said with emotion.

Liu Wei was a little embarrassed, he was not very good at flattery, so this was a bit difficult to answer.

Fortunately, the phone ringing in Ning Wei's pocket kept the scene from being awkward.

He took out his mobile phone and looked at it. Somewhat surprised, the chairman of the foundation actually called again.

"Hi, is there anything else Mr. Shechtman can do?" Ning Wei asked politely after the call was connected.

"Dr. Ning, just now I have carefully considered your proposal and had some exchanges with members of the foundation. We think it may be a good proposal. The relationship between Israel and China has always been very good, so whether an award ceremony is It’s actually the same in the parliament building of Israel or in an auditorium in the capital of Huaguo. The important thing is the guests present at this event, what do you think?”

Really, Ning Wei was really shocked when he heard what the old man and gentleman said. He even wondered if he had heard it wrong. Is this going to continue playing cards that don't follow the routine?

According to the established awarding rules, the selection of Wolf Prize winners is determined by an expert group composed of various fields, and the decision of the expert group is the final result and cannot be changed.Even if something like Yu Xingwei's happened, the result should be to directly cancel this year's Wolf Prize in Mathematics.But now the chairman of the foundation not only insists on awarding him the award, but also agrees to a request that even he finds outrageous in order to let him participate in the award ceremony

Optimistic about March?Do you want to ask him?Drug him?For a while, a bunch of thoughts slipped through his mind...

"That, Mr. Shechtman, are you serious?" Ning Wei confirmed again.

"Dr. Ning, I am very serious. We will send people to Huaxia Capital to prepare for this awards ceremony after the Chinese New Year. Of course, according to the previous rules, you can invite nine relatives and friends to participate in this event. If it is convenient, this This award ceremony can even be held in Yanbei University, just like you said before, if we choose to hold this award ceremony in Beijing, you will help us choose a suitable venue, right Dr. Ning?"

In fact, Ning Wei really wanted to tell Chairman Shechtman on the other end of the phone that he was joking just now, because everyone knew that this incident was almost impossible to happen, so he just said it casually.But he felt that if he really said that, he would really annoy a gentleman thoroughly, so he gave up.

"Of course, it's a great honor to contribute a little bit."

"Also, you also said that you would take us to visit the capital as a host, by the way, you mentioned the Forbidden City, didn't you?"

"Yes, that's what I should do."

"Then look forward to our meeting in Huaxia Capital, goodbye!"

"goodbye!"

After hanging up the phone, Ning Wei looked at Liu Wei who had already returned to the house and put on his coat while he was on the phone, and said in a very calm and calm tone: "Well, Brother Liu, what I seemed to tell you just now is Will it be next time?"

"how?"

"They changed it to a certainty this time!"

"Um?!"

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

255 logic lines

Liu Wei was a little confused, he thought Ning Wei was joking again.After all, this time must be the same as the next time. Although there is only one word difference, the representative's attitude is very different. The former is extremely serious, and the latter can even be understood as perfunctory.

But soon Liu Wei discovered that Ning Wei didn't seem to be joking with him, but was serious.Because the young Ph.D. had already started calling his supervisor to report the good news.

In fact, it can't be called a report, because Liu Wei can feel that Ning Wei is also very confused.To be honest, it should be that Ning Wei is asking Director Tian to help him find out. Are the bigwigs from the Wolf Foundation or the judging committee trying to recruit him to be his son-in-law?In order for him to participate in an awards ceremony, he made such a big sacrifice?

In Ning Wei's own words, if he doesn't figure out what's going on, even if the Wolf Award ceremony does come to China, he doesn't really want to attend it.Liu Wei didn't quite know if Ning Wei was joking, if it was true, then she was extremely cautious.

A scientist who acts boldly and radically, but is cautious in his daily life, how should I put it, although it is quite contradictory, but he likes it very much.

He could also tell that this news was definitely an unexpected surprise for Tian Yanzhen on the other end of the phone, because Ning Wei had said several times, "Director Tian, ​​don't get too excited. "This sentence is gone.

And after Ning Wei said this sentence, he always added different matching words, such as "there may be a conspiracy", "maybe want to use me", "if something goes wrong, there must be a demon", "if someone really wants me What about being a son-in-law?"

Probably it was these words that made Liu Wei feel that the guy he wanted to protect was still a young man full of vigor.So when Ning Wei hung up the phone, he couldn't hold back and said, "Dr. Ning, we can actually help with this issue. Director Tian probably can only ask people he knows, but it may not be the truth."

"Really?" Ning Wei's eyes lit up, and he immediately replied: "Would you like me to let Sanyue cooperate with you in intelligence analysis? It's really not my bragging. Sanyue can definitely kill anyone in a matter of processing data. "

Liu Wei had seen Ning Wei's ability to hit snakes with sticks, and immediately regretted talking nonsense, hesitatingly said: "I have to ask about this."

"No problem! Of course, if it doesn't work, forget it. Anyway, there will definitely be a chance to cooperate in the future. I'll go to work on other things first, and you continue to exercise." After speaking, Ning Wei turned his head and returned to his office.

Liu Wei looked at Ning Wei's back, then shook her head, and walked into her room. At this time, neither of them knew that the answer that troubled Ning Wei would appear automatically soon.

……

Jet lag is always a good thing. For example, when Ning Wei posted a video on Weibo, it was midnight in Snow Country.It was also late at night in the United States when Ronnie Lehton faced reporters and slapped all the bigwigs in the face.The advantage of this is that no matter how much Ronnie Lehton said or how painful the backstab was, it will be a few hours before the other side reacts.

When the first ray of sunlight lit up the enthusiasm of people working on Wall Street, Ronnie Lehton's words had spread throughout the United States.

How should I put it, for Bill Gates and many other high-tech founders who spoke in front of the camera, this is tantamount to a slap directly on their face, crisp and loud.Especially in the case that Ericsson is included in the list of applicants for the alliance under construction, it will make everyone feel jumpy.

But for people on Wall Street, they only have about two hours to explore what happened behind it.This is the most authentic Vanity Fair. The reason why mathematicians are often reused here is because financial practitioners often have the same logic as mathematicians. Any abnormal statement must have a relationship of interest.

Whoever can find this connection first will often master the password of wealth.You must know that the financial market has never been a place to talk about feelings. Feelings are more important than money, and they have already disappeared on this street, so the logic of interest is always the most important.

Let's put it this way, even if Ning Wei is proved to be the illegitimate son of Ronnie Lehton in China, there is a high probability that they will not believe that this is the reason why Chairman Ericsson publicly supports China's artificial intelligence platform.Because even the father-son relationship cannot be more important than capital.

Ningwei’s content on Weibo, the metaphor of that video, Huawei suddenly withdrew almost all the lawsuits against its friends... Countless information began to be compiled, and soon the crowd on Wall Street came to an astonishing conclusion.

At present, except for Huawei, there are almost no trustworthy products with turbulence algorithm protection.Even Huaxin and Samsung, which are also authorized, have only been authorized for more than two months. If they want to spread the equipment all over the world, they still need to hurry up and release production capacity. There is still a time gap between them.Even if the two companies had made complete preparations before, none of them would have prepared all the production lines before the contract was formally finalized.

Another problem arose in the middle, a problem that caused the entire market to fry!

Just a month ago, the three major stock exchanges in the United States, the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange and the Nasda Securities Market, officially commissioned Cisco to upgrade the overall network security of the securities market network. It is said that the contract has just been signed recently. And the equipment upgrade has been started simultaneously in the three major markets.

It is said that this upgrade uses Cisco's self-developed next-generation network equipment that can effectively isolate ddos ​​attacks and various malicious crawler technologies, which can be compared to Huawei's turbulent chips.Although the upgrade project is said to have started, but because it cannot affect the market operation, most of the network upgrades are concentrated during the rest of the market.Before it was announced that the upgrade has been completed, it is even difficult to say where the project has progressed. It is estimated that no one knows except Cisco and the management of the three major markets.

But this time the joke is still big.

Although Cisco claimed in the announcement that it has undergone the most rigorous testing and has accepted the evaluation of third-party testing, it finally led to this big contract.But combined with Ericsson's response, this definitely puts a question mark in countless people's minds about Cisco's previous guarantee.

It is really hard to say what the mood of those senior securities managers is at this time.

Originally, they wanted to find the connection of the whole thing by studying a big melon, and then make the right decision, but found that the logic behind it led to a result that sent chills down their spines.One can imagine how pessimistic the mood of countless people will be at this time.

We must know that all financial transactions are based on a strong network security system. If the entire underlying transaction security system is at risk due to this upgraded order, there is no doubt that this risk will be infinitely magnified.

Marketing executives were already on the phone, as were Cisco executives.But at this time no one can speak.For Cisco's executives, they can't even make a statement at this time, because they are still waiting for urgent testing and evaluation by the global technology department.Really, for this unexpected situation, even the engineers of the company don't know at this time whether it will really have an impact, and how big the impact will be.

In fact, before today, Cisco was really confident about its own products. With their own strong R&D strength, they really just borrowed from Ning Wei's paper and rewrote the code almost according to the ideas provided in the paper. The test effect is only about 80.00% of that of Huawei's similar products, but it is enough with its own security strategy.
