Hammer of Technology

ACM Chairman Chimi spoke for 5 minutes.

His words also represented his final attitude. As he said, the final decision was not only made after thinking and weighing, he even made a phone call with the most vocal nominee yesterday.

Strictly speaking, this is a violation, even if it is just discussing a certain possibility on the phone, it is a violation.

But no one can say anything about Qimi, because when he spoke just now, he had already stated his attitude, and he planned to resign and stop playing.

Of course, these words also silenced all the controversies.

In fact, Qimi is right. Most of the objections to Ning Wei's award are focused on fear. Fear and Ning Wei's willful performance and voice. Fear and the growing aura of this young man will have greater destructive power.

But the problem is that now the right to choose is not completely in the hands of the participants. In other words, Ning Wei is like a light absorber, and some halos do not cover him, which is unreasonable.It's fucked up, but it can't be helped.

If they knew that Ning Wei had made bold words, if those world awards were not awarded to him, it would be not his loss but the loss of those awards, and they would probably feel even more bitter in their hearts.

Because of such insolent words, this man actually did it.

……

After Mickey's voice fell, no one spoke at the meeting.

Some words can't be spread out, because spreading out means that someone is about to tear their face apart.

Gentlemen at the top of academic circles are actually not used to tearing up their faces for nothing. After all, it is difficult to repair. If some small thoughts are published, it will be even more difficult to repair.

"Okay, I have specifically ordered what I said just now, and no meeting minutes will be kept. But the next voting process will follow the normal process, and there are formal records. Everyone should know the situation of the candidates this year. It's clear, there is no need to waste time to re-introduce. Now let's start the voting process directly, starting with the number one candidate, Dr. Ning Wei from Huaxia Yanbei University..."

There was a moment of silence in the venue... After all, someone started to raise their hands.

……

"Editor Jing, the reviewers' replies have all been received. Everyone is very optimistic about this paper. Except for some minor revision suggestions made by Professor Liston, everyone thinks it can be published."

"Well, then send out Dr. Ning's paper."

"Is it published in the international version?"

"The Chinese version will be released together with the international version, no problem."

"Okay! Editor Jing."

……

"Do you understand now?"

"Well, I get it!"

"Hey, if the students in our Ning class are all at the same level as you in the future, I should be able to relax."

"rather!"

"Ok?"

"I'm a Ph.D. from Harvard, and it took me only two years to complete my undergraduate studies."

"Well, Lucy, if it makes you happy, then I have to admit that you surpass me in this. It took me four years to finish my undergraduate course..."

Lucy Rowan was not happy.

Because although the man in front of her had been an undergraduate for four years, she felt that this guy stayed in the undergraduate because he could be on the world-class stage as an undergraduate and disgust everyone.

The two were chatting when Ning Wei's phone rang.

Ning Wei picked up the phone and shook it at Lucy Ron. The woman picked up a stack of materials with interest, and walked towards the door with her head raised.Of course, she didn't forget to close the office door again before leaving...

In fact, she is really not afraid of Ning Wei's greedy her body, if that's the case, it's actually very good, she can let Ning Wei show her self-defense self-defense technique that she spends her spare time learning in her spare time - Maga technique.

Really, finding a chance to beat up Ning Wei will definitely make her feel better for several days, and it will also make her more confident to tell classmate Jiang that Ning Wei is such a scumbag, what a pity...

Ning Weike was too lazy to explore the little thoughts of the beautiful assistant teacher who had just left, so he happily answered the phone.

"Ning Wei, I'm Chen Mingcai..."

"Haha, hello Mr. Chen, do you want to give me something different again?"

"Forehead……"

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

313 Is it an honor?

As long as people are generous enough, they can be very good at giving things. Ning Wei thinks that Chen always has all three things. He is not only capable but also very generous.Of course, from Chen Mingcai's point of view, he probably doesn't like the title of Sancai boy very much, mainly because he is not young anymore.

"Dr. Ning, I'm not joking. I called you today mainly to inform you that the research center in front of me has authorized the three-dimensional silicon-through-tube chip manufacturing technology to Huaxia Precision and Huaxia Second Microelectronics Manufacturing Factory for industrial production. The two companies At present, the first production line has been built and passed the acceptance inspection by our expert group. At present, the technical departments of the two companies are actively negotiating with some downstream manufacturers on some radio frequency technical standards, and mass production will soon. and put into use.”

"However, in the early stage, the investment of the two companies is still relatively large, including the purchase of equipment to build a production line. As you know, the construction of this production line is relatively expensive. In the future, some investment in research and development may be needed to improve the yield rate and save costs. So in the short term, there may not be too much profit that can be used for dividends. But don’t worry, when the two companies start to make profits, there will be no less dividends attributable to you.”

……

"Oh, I actually don't mind this. It doesn't matter when the dividends are paid. If the money can really be used for research and development, improving product quality and production efficiency, it doesn't matter even if there is no dividends. So if Mr. Chen thinks it's not too much, as long as It would be great if the two companies would send me a separate financial report every year, and I would be more interested if I could exchange dividend rights for supervisory rights." After patiently listening to Chen Mingcai's report, Ning Wei replied.

He is not interested in those messy financial data at all.

Huawei will send him a financial statement every fiscal quarter, which roughly counts how many devices using turbulence algorithm chips have been sold, how much licensing fees should be paid to him in the current quarter, and how much taxes have been paid for him. I didn't care about it, basically these financial reports were lying quietly in the mailbox, and when he remembered, he set them as read in batches.

In addition to trust in Huawei, the most important thing is laziness.Even though it is not difficult for him to settle the accounts, it is a waste of time for Ning Wei to search for various information from the cumbersome financial reports.

However, for companies that have not yet established trust and concern, Ning Wei thinks it would be good to have supervisory rights.And he plans to hand over this matter to classmate Jiang in the future.Xiao Jiang is a student of economics, and analyzing financial reports can be regarded as applying what he has learned. At least it will give him an opportunity to practice, and it will also let Ning Wei know how much investment he has authorized to these two companies for research and development.

If it is really used for research and development, of course there is nothing to say.While he doesn't care much about money, it doesn't feel good if someone pockets him with money that's rightfully his.If it really makes him unhappy, he can take a small notebook and write it down, and stab him with a sword if he has nothing to do.

Mr. Chen on the other side also answered very simply: "Supervisory rights should be right, so I will communicate later and try to write this matter into the company's articles of association. Professor Ning, don't worry, we have shareholdings in both companies, and there will be shares every year. The audit report. I will send you a copy when the time comes."

After talking about this matter, Ning Wei asked a very important question: "Okay, but Mr. Chen, can you ask how the construction of our R&D center is going? How come after a chip laboratory is completed, other The progress of the laboratory is so slow? I went there last time and saw that many places were closed?"

"Oh, this matter! Oh, I forgot to tell you. The situation is like this. We think that location, in fact, it is good to be a science and technology park before. It is located in a busy city, with people coming and going, no It’s very convenient. So after discussion, we decided to move the laboratory to the west for tens of kilometers, and changed to a new location to build our artificial intelligence cutting-edge technology center.”

"This is also from the perspective of safety. Think about it, some security work in the downtown area still can't be completely free, and let me tell you, and the place is very expensive, and it is difficult to build a laboratory. You can't dig too deep into the ground, it's too restricted. Let me tell you at the current location, it's definitely a geomantic treasure. And many laboratories are underground, which are safe and strong. Various technical parameters It is also easier to meet the standard, and it will never be stuffy, and the ventilation system is excellent! More importantly, there are no cars around, and it is very quiet."

"Of course, because of the change of location, the construction can only be started after the three-way connection, so the speed will inevitably be slower, but you can rest assured about the quality. Our Jitu engineering team is not only efficient, but the quality is also good. Of course the most important thing What’s more, building a new research and development base like this can save the cost of future relocation. You know this better than me. After our evaluation, relocation after the installation of many precision equipment is a huge cost. If it can save us, we should save it first. Come down, right?"

……

Chen Mingcai was rambling on over there, but Ning Wei found that he couldn't get his mouth shut.

Of course, he still understands the important point. The place has to be leveled and connected, which means that the city has not yet been developed there. This is the capital city, and the suburban areas can only have this effect?But then again, the future laboratory is really built, not to mention the inconvenience in the downtown area, just the power consumption is a big problem, and some devices still consume a lot of power after they are turned on.

And if according to his most cost-effective and efficient plan, there should be a large supercomputing center next to it, which will consume even more power.Of course, the required area is also very large.Ning Wei understands the reasoning. It is probably because after he took out the [-]D silicon-through-tube chip, everyone paid more attention to his proposal, so he gritted his teeth and built the entire R&D project according to his most expensive proposal. Center up.

This is very embarrassing.

Because the most expensive proposal submitted by Ning Wei was actually ready to be killed.This was a trick played by Director Tian Ruo Ruo Wu, and Ning Wei also felt that it made sense, so he did it.

To put it bluntly, it is to take advantage of people's psychological gap. Party A will take a look at the expensive plan first, and I'll fuck it, investing so much?Then I looked at the second plan, which was obviously reduced by a large amount. Although it was also very expensive, but seeing the reduced cost by a large amount, the probability of passing it was much higher.Even if you still feel that the investment is too large, there is a third plan with less investment to back it up.

In fact, Ning Wei thinks it is enough for him to have the large laboratory mentioned in the third proposal...

Of course, it was inconvenient for Ning Wei to say these words directly to Chen Mingcai on the phone. After Chen Mingcai came to an end, he could only respond along the topic: "This, I think it's okay, just slow down, quality is the most important thing. "

But after finishing speaking, Ning Wei felt that something was wrong, so he added: "Of course, efficiency is also very important."

"Haha, don't worry, Mr. Ning, we have divided the project into six phases very scientifically. The first phase of the project is expected to be completed in about eight or nine months. Don't worry, you will even come here to bring graduate students, Ph.D. Life can catch up."

"Then... let's do it."

"Well, I won't disturb Professor Ning's research, I'll hang up first."

"Goodbye, Mr. Chen."

"Goodbye."

……

After hanging up the phone, Ning Wei closed his eyes to rest his mind and think about the future.

This arrangement is actually quite good. He has just become an honorable university professor, and he should really focus more on teaching and educating people recently.For undergraduates, when they are still laying the foundation, they don’t need to go to such a high-level place as the laboratory to gain experience, at least freshman.

These time can also be used to do some basic research, so that he can have a deeper understanding of March, so that he can be more confident when making targeted experimental plans for March in the future.

All in all, it's pretty good.

……

In fact, Yanbei University in April is also incredibly beautiful, but it lacks the eyes to discover beauty.

In this regard, Ning Wei admired Lucy Ron very much, because this woman took more photos with Yanbei University campus as the background in a week than he stayed here for a year.Of course, he didn't know that Lucy Ron chose Harvard and gave up the invitation from MIT simply because Harvard's campus was more beautiful than MIT.If you knew, you probably wouldn't think this woman was boring.

Of course, Ning Wei knew that it wasn't that he would be bored enough to spy on Lucy's phone, but that this woman not only liked to take pictures, but also liked to share them.

Ning Wei can't see the content on Facebook and Twitter, but there are still circles of friends.

Yes, the week that Lucy Ron lived in Yanbei University was the week with the most content in Ningwei's circle of friends.Probably because of his identity, Ning Wei doesn’t have many friends on WeChat, and everyone seems to not like to use Moments to share their lives with friends around them, so there is often no content here.

Now this western beauty has changed everything.

Of course, Ning Wei felt that this could actually be forgiven. After all, he came from the west and had never seen anything in the world. It is normal to find beauty in the former royal garden.The important thing is that this woman can unscrupulously post on Moments without blocking him because she has completed all the tasks assigned to her.

Putting aside prejudices and looking at this woman, she still has some skills...

Ning Wei knew that Tian Dao also added this woman's WeChat, but he didn't know whether Tian Dao would look at the pictures of women everywhere every day.

……

Tian Yanzhen doesn't really read WeChat very much, even if he does, he probably just glances at it.

Originally, with his current status, he wouldn't even be able to stay in the research center for too long every year. Basically, there are too many meetings to attend every year. It's just that after Ning Wei is a student, he stays in the school's office The time will be longer.

How should I put it, in fact, the students are too good, which is also a kind of pressure for the instructor.

Of course, this requirement is actually very high. Tian Yanzhen thought that no one could achieve it, but the headache is that Ning Wei is such an overly outstanding student.This made Tian Yan really feel the pressure.

It seems like this week he was invited to a meeting of the Mathematical Union in Melbourne, but he declined, staying in his office and reading some papers.Ningwei's success made him feel that if he worked harder, he might be able to make his achievements even further.He set his sights on the direction of studying infinite-dimensional manifolds.

This was probably influenced by Ning Wei.In fact, it is very meaningful to study infinite-dimensional fashion.If a mathematician looks at infinite dimensions, he will find that there are wonderful mathematical structures that cannot be seen at all in finite dimensions.

Moreover, the infinite-dimensional function space coincides with Tian Yanzhen's previous research.In fact, the motivation of many mathematicians to study infinite-dimensional function spaces comes from partial differential equations.Because the existence and uniqueness of the solution requires the use of various prior estimates, and the norm used for estimation naturally exists on the function space such as Sobolev space or Ningwei space.

Its research results can also be combined with quantum field theory, which can lead to a very classical question, is there a mathematical structure that is invisible in finite dimensions and only lives in infinite dimensions?

A very mysterious question, many people are always shocked by the minds of mathematicians.

Little do they know that the research results obtained following these brain-opening questions can often inspire many scientists who study applications, so as to design some targeted experiments to verify these theories and promote the development of science.

For example, the famous double-slit interference experiment in history, the purpose of scientists doing this experiment was only for the dispute in the field of physics theory, whether light is a wave or a particle, but the result leads to the two most important concepts of quantum physics, superposition state and measurement. collapse.

Tian Yanzhen also has a dream in deciding this topic. He wants to prove that there is a unique mathematical structure in infinite dimensions. Maybe this theory can establish a new set of models in statistical physics in the near future.

Of course, this confidence is due to Ning Wei being such a good student.Now that Ningwei has graduated, he can invite Ningwei to join the research on this topic after he finds the direction first. If he succeeds, it doesn’t matter if he is the main contributor to Ningwei. In other words, when naming the new configuration, Ning Wei's name can be put in front.Well, the Ningtian configuration sounds good too.

At the moment there is a cup of steaming tea on his desk, but all his energies are focused on his thesis, and he really has no time to pay attention to the caffeine drinks that can make him more energetic.

At his age and status, it is very rare to be able to devote all his body and mind to learning, and he can't ask for more.

However, the mobile phone on the table rang untimely, interrupting his thoughts.

It's annoying, but Tian Yanzhen is not Ningwei after all. Many official identities prevent him from turning his phone to silent at any time like Ningwei.

Abandoning the status of a pure scholar means that some research time must be sacrificed to deal with some administrative affairs.From this point of view, Ning Wei is very smart.For example, for any positions and things that are not helpful to research, he can push and push, making full use of all available people and strengths around him to save time for himself.

However, to Tian Yanzhen's annoyance, the phone call that interrupted his thoughts was not for him.

"Tian, ​​long time no see, how are you doing recently?"

"Ha, long time no see, I'm doing well, Michelle, what's the matter?" Tian Yanzhen asked casually.

"Hey, I think you must have a good life. If I can have a student like Xiang Ning, I will be in a cheerful mood every day. Indeed, I have some things to look for you. First of all, I would like to congratulate you and your student Ning. This year's Turing The winner of the award has been confirmed, which is your student, Ning. The news will be announced on the official website in about half an hour, but you know, out of respect for the winners, the organizing committee will usually follow up with you a little bit in advance Winners share."

"But now I have a problem. The Turing Award Organizing Committee has Ning's contact information. But they sent an email to Ning and there was no response, and the phone number must be correct, but they can't get through, you know Yes, Mitch is my friend, so he wants to give you a call, and you can help the jury to inform your students of the good news. Of course, it would be perfect if Ning could return the call and have some communication with the committee. I The contact number over there has been sent to your mailbox, and I will leave this to you!"

The words on the other side made Tian Yanzhen lose his mind for a moment, and subconsciously touched his chin.

Although he expected Ning Wei to win the Turing Award, it still felt very novel to him to suddenly know the news in this way.

Naturally, he knew the reason why the other party couldn't get through. Ningwei set up a communication whitelist on his mobile phone very early on, so phone numbers that were not in Ningwei's address book naturally couldn't get through.Not to mention that this guy might have his phone set to Do Not Disturb mode if he has nothing to do.

As for email...

Apparently, Ning Wei didn't develop the habit of checking his mailbox every day, even if it was his work mailbox.Before, he would often send emails to Ningwei, but now he has basically put an end to this kind of communication mode that foreign countries are used to, mainly WeChat and phone calls.

"Okay, I see, Michelle, I will inform him of the good news right away. Thank you." Tian Gang sighed in his heart, but still expressed his thanks in an enthusiastic tone.

Turing Award... The judging committee couldn't get in touch with Ning Wei when it was time to get in touch with him, so they went around and transferred someone else to get in touch with him.

Thinking of the year before last when someone called and said they could recommend Ning Wei for the Turing Award, I was a little excited.I just didn't expect that Ning Wei refused those requests at that time, but only delayed for a year to get this award, which made Tian Yanzhen even feel a little bit discouraged.

This award, it seems, is not as valuable as I imagined before.
