Hammer of Technology

Don’t have to think about the instruction set, future chip architecture, artificial intelligence mathematical principles, intrigue with a bunch of bosses, and other complicated things, just completely empty your mind, look at the scenery, listen to songs, and have unscrupulous conversations with Jiang talk about love...

If Lu Dongyi were to comment on Ning Wei at this time, he would probably reprimand this guy for being depraved.However, for Ning Wei, these few days have been the most relaxing and pleasant time in these years. The changes brought about by complete relaxation are also huge. When he left, the originally thin face became fatter...

"Life is what we live these few days, brother Liu, do you think that what we lived before can only be called life..."

Because I chatted with my mother too late the night before, Jiang Chenshuang, who didn't have a good rest, fell asleep on the plane, and Ning Wei ran to Liu Wei's side to chat with Liu Wei.

The inertia generated by inertia made him too lazy to open his laptop even if he had a dedicated desk.

This talk...

Liu Wei thought for a while and said: "Professor Ning, you have to think about it this way. If you live like you used to, you can not only make those people who hate you live in pain, but also make many people you like feel the true love." Life; if you choose the life these days, those who hate you and you hate can live easily, and many people who like you can only live... It's not the same."

These words still moved Ning Wei very much, directly raising the upper limit of his spirit, at least it shows that his dedication is still seen by others.

"Brother Liu, after hearing what you said, I suddenly feel full of motivation. Next time Mr. Chen calls me again, I must give you credit. Your language art is the most confusing place for a future great scientist. Time has inspired him to continue to struggle, the progress of human science cannot do without people who can talk like you!"

Liu Wei: "..."

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

353 plan

The plane landed at Jiangcheng International Airport, and Ningwei also enjoyed a higher courtesy when returning to Jiangcheng this time.For example, as soon as I went out, I saw a huge and long banner saying "Warmly welcome Professor Ning Wei, winner of the Chern Award, Wolf Award, and Turing Award, to return to his alma mater, Jiangda University, to guide his work."

This is probably too long to deal with. After all, all the honors have to be written on it. This banner is not easy to post, such as the national outstanding youth, such as the youngest academician candidate...

There are too many honors to put down the banner, so we can only focus on the key points.

Even so, Ning Wei felt it was an exaggeration.When I saw that banner, I had the urge to turn around and go back to LP County...

Many people think that Versailles is invincible, but that also depends on the scoring situation, or it depends on who is in front of it.

Relatively speaking, he still prefers to deal with those foreign bigwigs, and likes to see their rebellious appearance.

But if facing ordinary people, Ning Wei will be very humble and low-key.After all, to solve the KLS conjecture, you still have to respect the basic decimal addition and subtraction rules when you go to the vegetable market to buy vegetables.

Of course, the improvement of reception standards is not limited to the banner.It is more reflected in the reception people.

From a distance, you can see the blackness under the banner. There are at least 20 people, and there are two reporters carrying cameras. This really makes Ning Wei feel a headache, and even a little embarrassed.

In fact, there was still some psychological construction before, but this battle was a little different from his prediction.

"Brother Liu, you must have a way for us to bypass the airport and go directly to the school?" Ning Wei asked Liu Wei who was walking in front of him.

Liu Wei looked back at Ning Wei and asked, "Professor Ning, do you think I'm not pleasing to you?"

Ning Wei shook his head and said, "No, I think you're pretty good."

Liu Wei nodded and said: "That's good, but you have also seen that the reception standard is so high and there are so many reporters, you really don't know who came to welcome you? I'm going to take you and run away. It can also be replaced directly.”

Speaking of this, Ning Wei also probably understands that this set of pleasantries cannot be escaped.Then he naturally wanted to grab Jiang's little hand, but he missed it, turned his head, and saw Jiang standing half a step behind him and shook his head resolutely at him.

Well, after all, you still have to face everything alone.

"This specification is still too high..." Ning Wei sighed.

"Actually, it's not too high, Professor Ning. After all, you are not an ordinary scientist, and what people value is not necessarily your academic achievements. Thinking about it this way, does it feel more natural?" Liu Wei said in a low voice.

"How about this...?" Ning Wei asked modestly.

Liu Wei replied: "From a local perspective, you look like a cash cow. If you can also introduce a project similar to LP County in Beihu Province, for a central province, the GDP gain will still be considerable. In addition, the silicon-integrated chip is designed by you. If you really want to produce general-purpose CPUs in the future, you will need several production bases. If they can be placed in Beihu Province, it will be enough to drive the entire industrial chain to concentrate in Beihu. Maybe in the future Jiangcheng will become China's flagship The core is gone."

"So I am already so important? But it seems that no one is looking for me?"

"Heh...Professor Ning, I'm afraid you have never thought about the meaning of various conference invitations held in various places, have you? It's just that you rejected them all. In fact, in order for you to reject many invitations casually, you can do it in the laboratory with peace of mind. Research, many people are under a lot of pressure."

After hearing this, Ning Wei probably understood how sweet he is now.

Speaking of these things, he really didn't think about them. After all, it was his plan to not touch business.But I didn't expect that his indirect influence is still coveted, and it still makes people feel a little floating.

I thought that the school must invite him to talk about something this time, so that the high-achieving students recommended by the school can read his direct blog, but I didn't expect that these are secondary, the real ulterior motives are not drinking...

"Listen, student Jiang, don't be afraid to spend money. If we are really short of money in the future, we will bid for the chance to have lunch together like Buffett. Maybe a meal can fetch tens of millions..."

……

"Haha, Professor Ning, welcome!"

"Principal Du, you are too polite!"

"Come on, Professor Ning, let me introduce you. This is an executive from Beihu Province, Secretary Tan..."

"Secretary Tan, hello!"

Both hands were born, and the four hands were tightly held together.

"Professor Ning, hello, hello, President Du just praised you all the way. You are really young and promising. It is no exaggeration to say that you are the pride of our North Lake!"

"You are over the award, over the award, this is my fiancée Jiang Chenshuang."

"Xiao Jiang, hello, hello!"

"Hi Secretary Tan!"

……

After exchanging greetings, taking pictures, and accepting a short two-sentence interview with reporters, after half an hour of tossing around at the airport, they finally boarded the commercial vehicle arranged by Jiang University.But this time the cars were full of bosses, and only Principal Deng got on these two cars in the school, and President Kong couldn't get on either.

The bosses in the car introduced to Ning Wei the development of Jiangcheng and even the entire Beihu Province in recent years, as well as everyone's plan and determination to develop Jiangcheng into a surrounding high-tech central city. A dedicated chip high-tech park will give full play to the advantages of Jiangcheng's concentration of colleges and universities, and build a modern digital city on this basis.

Anyway, planning is good.In addition, Jiangcheng is the only sub-provincial city in the six central provinces. Geographically, it is mostly plains, and it is the largest city in Huaxia City. If it can really win the settlement of the chip industry base in the future, it will naturally be very helpful for the economic development of the entire Beihu Province. Big help.

The only problem is probably that Ningwei has never considered these at all. Where to choose a base, in addition to geographical location, there is also the consideration of the entire upstream and downstream supporting industrial chains. These are issues that Ningwei has never cared about. So Ning Wei could only listen to Jiangcheng's various advantages, and then nodded frequently.

His attitude is very sincere. It can be summed up as that what you said is right. In the end, Ning Wei also expressed his attitude seriously. If the Future Research Center really listens to his suggestion, he will definitely recommend Jiangcheng.

The car directly sent Ning Wei to the Hongyi Hotel of Jiangda University, which is also the International Academic Exchange Center of Jiangda University, followed by an extremely lively dinner, and this time Dean Kong finally came to sit at the table.Of course, there is no wine on the table as usual, but the atmosphere is still quite lively.

If we talk about ideals in the car, then we talk about feelings at the dinner table. After all, it is our alma mater, and the friendship between teachers and students is still there.At the dinner, classmate Jiang became the breakthrough point, and Dean Kong began to tell classmate Jiang many important things that Ning Wei did in his senior year.

For example, the paper was suddenly published on "Nature", and the turbulence algorithm was tinkered with in the laboratory, which kept Academician Lu in charge of the laboratory in the dark, and his intestines were full of regrets; writing a graduation thesis directly solved the world-class problem , his thesis tutor couldn't handle it...

Dean Kong once again revealed the past events one by one, accompanied by a series of witty remarks, saying that he was recalling the past, but in fact he praised Ning Wei in a fancy way in front of classmate Jiang.

Ning Wei can only say that he is very good at this kind of cryptic flattery.

After all, when he said these past events by himself, it always lacked so much meaning.As the dean of the department where Ning Wei once stayed, Kong Mingde said these words, it seems very tall, not to mention that the most important audience is the woman he likes.

After eating such a meal for two hours, the host and guest enjoyed themselves again.

Once again, I confirmed with Ning Wei the time and place of my speech tomorrow, and after I made an appointment with the school staff to pick me up at the hotel, the bosses finally took their leave in a considerate way, leaving the time for a young couple in love .

……

"It's still early, why don't I take you to our Jiangda University? Let me tell you that the scenery really needs to be compared. In fact, Jiangda University is not necessarily much worse than Yanda University. Although there is an unnamed student in Yanbei University. Lake, but in fact it is East Lake when we leave the Lingbo Gate, I will take you to see it."

"Aren't you afraid of being recognized?"

"Hey, let's go in with masks and scarves, who can recognize us?"

"OK then."

The two of them had the habit of going for a walk together after dinner, and since they returned to their alma mater today, Jiang actually wanted to see the place where Ning Wei used to live and study.So Liu Wei found a mask, and the three of them left the hotel like this, and began to wander around the campus of Jiang University.

"Look, here is the cherry garden. It is very beautiful to see the cherry blossoms in March. Although there is also a cherry garden on the East Lake, there is no doubt that our cherry garden is more beautiful. Especially walking on the cherry blossom road, the two On one side of the building is the old school of science, and on the other side is the old library, which has now been converted into a history museum. We can go in and have a look tomorrow. It contains all the history of Jiangda University..."

"This is the Sakura Castle, also called Yingding. Those are the dormitory, and the old house..."

"Look, this is the busiest Luojia Square, and next to it is Luojia Mountain, which is actually not too high. I told my mother before that if I stayed in Jiangda as a professor, she would be able to Come here to dance in the square..."

"Walking over there is the Olympic Stadium. We all call it the Olympic Stadium. Our military training was here..."

"This is Fengyuan. Our dormitory used to be here. It looks like that building, Fengsan 302. I remember that the name of the first group chat in our dormitory was the dormitory with the most handsome face... that guy Luo Xiang took it. You still remember, it was the one who bowed to your mother at Jingxi Station that day..."

"Here is our general map, the super big one says..."

Most of the time, when Ning Wei gave an introduction with great interest, Jiang would always smile and listen quietly, until Ning Wei led the two of them to the Jiang University Library...

"That's the general map. It's pretty good. By the way, I heard you say that the first time you and Yang Xiaohui met was in the general map, right?" The voice said, probably to ensure that it would not be heard by Liu Wei who followed the two from afar.

Ning Wei scratched his head in embarrassment, turned his head to look at the pair of smiling eyes, and said uncertainly: "Well...it seems to be true, how long ago, I almost forgot... okay , these are not important, I will take you to see our school's natural study room, Li Da Garden, and then go back to the hotel. Hehe, I have learned to find faults, I decided to make you look good tonight..."

After finishing speaking, Professor Ning held Jiang's hand, and his pace quickened a little.

"Wait, you don't want to prepare the report speech tonight?"

"Can it still stump me for two hours? I've already prepared it!"

……

The next day's speech time is from [-]:[-] to [-]:[-], and the venue is the International Lecture Hall of the Administration Building of the Jiangnan University of Mathematics. The topic of this academic speech is "What kind of special social warfare will evolve in the era of strong artificial intelligence" .

This is a topic proposed by Ning Wei. It is obviously weakly related to mathematical theory, and there is not much academic content. It is mainly to analyze the characteristics of the future era of strong artificial intelligence and what kind of mathematical talents are needed.

It’s not that Ning Wei doesn’t want to talk more dry stuff, mainly because after giving a report at the conference, Ning Wei knows very well that if he really wants to talk about artificial intelligence mathematics and physics for two hours, it’s probably only enough to explain a small point clearly, and It's hard to go deep into it, and without systematic study, it's hard to understand some of the mathematical concepts, so a lecture is really meaningless.

The meaning of Ning Weiding's topic is between two things. At least Ning Wei thinks it will be helpful for mathematics students who intend to develop in the direction of artificial intelligence in the future to listen to it.For example, there is a focus for future professional study, and a reference for elective courses.

The standard of lectures is still very high.The lecture hall, which can accommodate 230 people, was full of seats early in the morning, and even the aisles and the back row were full of students. From this, we can probably see Ning Wei’s appeal in Jiangda University. After all, today’s lecture is still during the National Day holiday. Attending a lecture also means giving up a day off...

Of course, the most important thing is to sit on the rostrum and the people in the first row.

Except for the big boss from the provincial government that I met yesterday, almost all the academicians of the school attended, which is enough to save face.

……

"...The theoretical topics about the impact of artificial intelligence on the times will stop here. Jiang University is my alma mater for four years, and Jiang University is also an excellent school, especially our mathematics and statistics. College, I believe that many of the students who came to the meeting today are excellent students from Hongyi Academy or the base class. It is normal for everyone to have various confusions during the learning process of mathematics. The important thing is how to solve these confusions .”

"To a certain extent, artificial intelligence can solve many puzzles. Of course, it is still the era of strong artificial intelligence. More powerful artificial intelligence still relies on students to continue to expand after in-depth study of relevant knowledge systems. research, especially in subdivided fields of artificial intelligence applications, such as context perception association, robot emotion simulation, human complex emotion recognition, etc..."

The entire speech took about exactly one hundred minutes.There are 10 minutes left, which can be regarded as the welfare of the students who rushed to the scene today.Under the guidance of the host, Ning Wei will answer a few questions from Jiang University students.

"Professor Ning, hello, I'm your junior, Zhen Yan from 2022 Hongyi College, I don't know if you noticed when you went upstairs just now, the wall of the lobby of our administrative building is still hanging on the wall that Cisco sent you before. The offer from you. As your student, I have heard a lot about your deeds when you first came to Jiangda University. For example, when Cisco sent you this offer, you just started to study the turbulence algorithm, and you have not yet succeeded. More Without the experience of going overseas to participate in top conferences, it can be said that you were just a relatively outstanding top student at that time."

"So what I want to ask is, what kind of mental journey did you go through when you rejected this offer? Was it because you had great confidence in your ability? After all, I saw that the conditions of that offer were really generous, even including In addition to being able to go to Princeton University to study for a doctorate at public expense, you can also enjoy the benefits of paid doctorate study, which should be considered very good in your opinion at the time."

Well, Ning Wei's lecture was not about academic discussions, and the questions asked by the students also let themselves go...

But this question really surprised Ning Wei. After all, he had forgotten about it a long time ago. When he walked into the hall just now, he didn't notice that the offer was still hanging on the wall. He couldn't help but subconsciously glance at the Dean Kong.

"This... how should I put it, I didn't have any mental journey at the beginning, but it doesn't mean that I have much confidence in my ability. If I have to say something, I probably feel that there are some differences in thinking in different environments that I personally cannot accept. Well. Compared to that, I still prefer to stay in China, and I firmly believe that I can develop better in China, and the facts have proved that it is true."

"I believe that many of you have seen the small videos I made to promote the admissions of Ningban. Many of them are actually my thoughts. From an academic point of view, an open world is of course the most ideal. To avoid the waste of resources caused by repetitive research. But it is obviously not up to this standard now... Well, let’s leave this question as it is. No matter thank you, classmate Zhen Yan, this question you raised reminds me of another The solution to the problem..."

"Ah? Professor Ning, can I ask what the solution to the problem is?"

"This is kept secret for now, maybe you will know in the future."

……

The meeting ended on time at 11:30. After Ning Wei continued to answer a few questions, the leader made a concluding speech.

After the sumptuous luncheon, under the process arranged by the school, Ning Wei took Jiang to a few more meaningful points on the campus, including the school history museum that Ning Wei mentioned yesterday. There are many top students in Hongyi Academy who have written a letter of recommendation from Dean Kong before.

Ning Wei still has an impression of Ji Mingzhi.

The impression comes from the comprehensive evaluation given in March when I was working as a teaching assistant. According to the calculation model given in March, the comprehensive ranking of the subtotal students who are only two years younger than Bi Ning is probably among all the students who hope to apply for Ning as a direct doctoral student Ranked No.12.

The ranking is not high, but it is actually an excellent ranking. After all, it is competing with a group of the best graduates from top universities in the country, including Yanbei, Huaqing, Renmin University, University of Science and Technology, etc.

Watching the history of Jiang University on the third floor of the embassy, ​​Ning Wei suddenly asked: "Subtotal, if I admit you, what are your plans after you successfully graduate with a Ph.D.?"

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

354 Standards

The question that popped up suddenly made Ji Mingzhi feel dazed for a moment, then he felt joyful, and then nervous again... All the emotions appeared in his mind for only a few seconds.

It's no wonder that Ji Mingzhi's emotions are too complicated, this opportunity is too rare for him.

Although he is one of the best students in the School of Mathematics of Jiang University, and Jiang University is also ranked as a double-first-class university in Huaxia, Ji Mingzhi knows very well that if he wants to study with Ning Wei, the school must be the last At the level of Jiang University.If one had to say what advantages he had, it would probably be that Jiang University was Ning Wei's alma mater after all, and he was the only one recommended by the school this year.

So this answer is likely to be directly related to his future, so naturally he can't calm down.

"Professor Ning, Dean Kong had a special talk with me. If I have the honor to be a doctoral student with you, he hopes that I can return to Jiangda University to build a course on the number theory system in the direction of artificial intelligence after successfully graduating from the Ph.D. It is probably a branch of Hongyi Academy, and it will carry out related research at Jiangda University, and I agree."

"Of course, the source of students recruited by Jiang University in the future is definitely incomparable with that of Ningban. However, artificial intelligence is a trendy industry in the future, and the thirst for talents must be divided into levels. Dean Kong hopes that Jiang University will introduce this The direction is to become the second echelon top university in China.”

"Yeah." Ning Wei nodded, and turned to look at Kong Mingde who was smiling.

He still remembered that Kong Mingde had actually mentioned this idea to him when he called, and it seemed that both parties had already discussed it, so he said with a smile: "Principal Kong, I have compiled two related textbooks for the Ning class. When it is officially printed, I donate [-] copies to Jiangda in my own name."

"That's a good feeling! But the teaching material is good, it still needs to be taught by someone!" Kong Mingde said with emotion.
