Hammer of Technology

This is why Ning Wei likes to deal with Tim Cook, at least honestly.

"Then when you disclosed the financial report, you spent nearly [-] billion U.S. dollars to donate to Huaxia Education, won't it provoke domestic complaints?"

"No, no, the donation can be written to promote the balanced development of international education. A large international company should have assumed this responsibility."

Tim Cook shrugged, and then said with a meaningful self-mockery: "No one can please everyone, of course including me. Before I left, I couldn't please everyone, but my At the very least, the job must satisfy Apple shareholders."

Ning Wei raised his glass with a smile and said, "I like your honesty, Tim, I think it's okay! In fact, this is your donation, thank you for your support for China's education reform, Tim. I also wish Apple can For a long time, by the way, has Apple chosen a successor? I read a lot of news that you will definitely retire next year, and there are several successors speculated by the outside world."

Tim Cook smiled and replied: "Don't worry, Ning, whoever takes my place will make the choice that is most beneficial to Apple."

Ning Wei looked at the others: "Does everyone have this opinion?"

The bosses nodded gracefully.

Ning Wei responded straightforwardly: "Okay, then I will tell my colleagues in the March Fund Management Committee to apply for official certification, and these requirements will definitely be met. But I am quite curious, that, Apple, Microsoft, IBM at least has a market in China, Google and Facebook don't seem to have any market in China, right?"

Sundar Pichai put down the knife and fork in his hand, wiped his mouth with a napkin, and said: "Google is seeking to return to the Chinese market, and is still dealing with some negotiation details. If possible, maybe next year we will We will launch our products in China."

"Oh! I wish you all the best." Ning Wei nodded suddenly. This is actually quite good. After all, Huaxia's search engine is somewhat out of place. The introduction of a big fish can somewhat awaken the crisis awareness of some local search engines.

Mark Zuckerberg also took over the topic: "The Metaverse is global, and Facebook may not enter China, but the Metaverse will. Our Metaverse products should also have the opportunity to be listed in China, after all, this is still a global The most potential market."

"That's a good relationship. By the way, if everyone wants to come to China for a reunion, they can come again during the Summer Olympics. That is really an occasion that attracts national attention. It will definitely be of great help to you to promote your own products in the future if you come to make a debut. By the way, today is mainly to talk about this?"

"Of course, Ning, don't you think we should set up a technical standard for access? In order to be responsible to all consumers, we should set up an industry alliance to propose some standard review mechanisms for related industries in the future and form a system , Standardized production should include the entire supply chain, down to every terminal, what do you think about this?"

Ning Wei laughed and said, "Haha, Tim, I think you are right about this point. President Yan of Huawei has also mentioned it to me, and I agree with it with both hands, but I will not get involved in the specific details. To be honest You said, I have made a decision a long time ago. After this year’s March Awards ceremony, I have researched on artificial intelligence, metaverse, semiconductors, chips, etc. from hardware to software to algorithm. I don’t plan to put too much energy into it anymore, and I will leave all these matters to my students. The future belongs to young people!”

This sentence was really shocking, and several big bosses began to look at each other in blank dismay. After all, this sentence included almost all the achievements Ningwei had made so far. To be honest, it was really hard to believe.

"What? Ning, you plan to retire like me? But you are still young, but if you really think so, maybe we can travel around the world next year, it must be a wonderful journey." Tim Cook Just a joke.

Ning Wei shook his head and sighed: "Really, you, Tim, will be able to retire next year. But I'm sure I can't. If I dare to say retirement at this time, I don't need others to come. The leg was broken. Really, Chinese culture is different from yours. The previous generation likes to interfere with our thoughts and life for granted. So I have to work for at least 30 years before I can retire. But from now on, I have decided a new research direction."

"A new direction in mathematics?" Tim Cook frowned slightly and asked.

"No, theoretical physics, condensed matter, field theory, photonics, plasma, statistical physics, celestial mechanics, etc... This is a vast ocean, from the energy conservation of beta decay to the existence of a mysterious particle, The symmetry of the continuous transformation can deal with the conservation law, but the discrete transformation and Noether’s law don’t work, so Mr. Yang and Mr. Li discovered that the parity is not conserved!”

"What a magical field this is. Human science and technology have advanced by leaps and bounds. We have used various physical theorems to study various physical phenomena and invented many practical machines, but at the same time we still can't figure out what kind of world we are in? The world of the strong force cannot be unified with the world of the weak force, and the standard particle model has not yet been able to unify the microscopic theory. The mathematical theories studied by mathematicians must serve to solve problems after all. For example, we use Lie groups to discuss Stone's theorem, and use space as the mathematical basis of quantum mechanics."

"Really, it's exciting to think that in the future I will spend my short life studying the true meaning of life. Like Smith, he thinks about life from a philosophical perspective, and I hope that in the future, I can use it from a physics perspective, To interpret this world. In your words, I hope to know whether God is left-handed or not in my lifetime!"

The bosses glanced at each other, this is probably because they have strength so they can be willful.

Of course, these scientists may not understand what they think.

"Ha, indeed, after all, the Nobel Prize does not have a mathematics prize... Ning, you will embarrass the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences like this. I will bet fifty dollars that within ten years they will be distressed about whether to award you the Nobel Prize." A long time." Tim Cook said, shaking his head.

"Tim, you're too conservative. I'll pay you a hundred dollars and bet they'll have a headache within five years." IBM President Samuel Palmisano, who had been silent for a while, took out a card from his pocket gracefully. Brand new hundred dollar bills.

"Haha, thank you everyone, I actually thought so too. It's worth it to be able to embarrass countless important people in this life!" Ning Wei said with a smile.

"By the way, Ning, but you don't seem to have won the Fields Medal yet, right? If I remember correctly, the last Mathematicians Conference seemed to award you the Gauss Award, but you didn't go to accept the award."

"Well, before the 26th Mathematicians Conference, I had some arguments on the phone with Mr. Koenig, the chairman of the IMU, or I had a direct quarrel. You come to judge, is it not qualified to hold the ICM conference with the size of China? ? Beijing, Mingzhu, Shencheng... Which city is worse than European cities? Anyway, my attitude is very clear. If the conference is not held in China, I will refuse to accept the Fields Medal. By the way, you will also accept the ICM conference in 2030 I will definitely support it to be held in China, right? It’s a coincidence that if it is really held in China in 30 years, I will be 30 years old, and in China, it is called the year of thirties.”

"Of course, Ning, if you need help, just say so, and we will do our best to cheer for you!"

……

At the same time, Chen Diancheng, who was struggling to eat dinner, was still chewing on his thesis, received a call from Senior Brother Zhang who had already run back to his hometown.

"Hey, Brother Zhang, what's the matter?"

"Xiao Chen, this is the situation. The teacher who was in charge of finance called me just now. Several companies that invested in my laboratory are sorting out the capital structure of the laboratory. You know, they still hope to get it as soon as possible. Make those messy things clear. It wasn't that director Ning let you Ningshe go to Ningfeng Software's account to transfer a sum of money, and now they mean to clear up the money..."

"Oh, it's too troublesome to say that. In a word, people want to buy out your previous investment directly, and the income from patents in the future will have nothing to do with Ningshe. You invested [-] million, what they mean is After the valuation, I will return you about [-] million yuan, see if you are satisfied? If you are not satisfied, I will help you fight for it again, it should not be a big problem to get the whole thing together."

Chen Diancheng scratched his head, and Director Ning was really generous when he handed out the money.

The [-] million invested in it, in less than three months, directly increased by nine times...

"No, Brother Zhang, it's useless to throw the money into Ningshe's account, why don't you ask Director Ning how to deal with it?"

"Director Ning has said long ago, let us not focus on the money. How to maximize profits is a problem that those manufacturers need to consider. We only need to do our own things well. Anyway, I am too lazy Trouble Director Ning with this matter, if you are not sure, you can call and ask yourself, and then call me back."

"Don't, don't, don't, you don't know. Director Ning was still angry with me two days ago. I've been miserable recently. Let's do it, just do as you say."

"That's fine, I'll help you fight for it again, and make it up."

"No, Brother Zhang, in fact, Ning Society is not short of money now..."

"You still think you have a lot of money these days? You don't need money for scientific research in the future? With money on hand, you can buy any equipment you want without having to wait in line. What will benefit is the future Ningshe and all of us, Director Ning Isn’t that what you think about when you invest! You can’t just think about yourself? Besides, if you want to be a robot, you’ll know when you start working on your own projects. When I didn't get any grades, I was so scared every day. That's enough, that's all, I asked the finance side to talk to the other party. See you in the future city."

"Okay, Brother Zhang, see you in the future city!"

After hanging up the phone, Chen Diancheng let out a long sigh of relief.

Well, now I can have an explanation with Ningshe.

When he did that thing before, [-] million red envelopes were given out as soon as he said they would be given out, without a democratic vote. Although everyone said they supported it, who knows what they think in private?Announce this news, at least no one can say anything.

So Chen Diancheng took out his mobile phone and clicked on Ningshe's WeChat group: "@Everyone, brothers, let me tell you something, it's very important, the central idea is that our Ningshe's financial management ability is probably better than Buffett's so much Billion points..."

……

"Professor Qin, I'm sorry to interrupt your rest. I sent you an email just now, which is a plan for the Olympic ignition ceremony. The boss means that I hope you can discuss the feasibility of this plan from a professional point of view, and give it to me as soon as possible. answer."

"Oh? Okay, let me go to the study to have a look."

"Okay, I'll trouble you, Professor Qin."

……

In the study, half an hour later...

"Hey, Xiao Xu, who proposed this plan?"

"Professor Qin, the boss said that you can't tell your name before you give your opinion, so as not to affect your judgment."

"This... well, how should I put it, it is theoretically feasible, using broadband visible light, without considering the problems of ignition. But in practice, it is very difficult to determine this accuracy, at least centimeters for hundreds of kilometers First of all, there must be a mathematical model of guidance, and all coordinate systems must be analyzed, especially the air conduction. With the mathematical model, the entire control system model must be established..."

"This is just a few steps in theory. In reality, there are too many parameters to be introduced. You have to consider the cloud layer? Ordinary laser beams can't penetrate the cloud layer, even if the beam is strong enough to tear Oxygen and electrons in nitrogen form a channel, but how to ensure the accuracy of positioning across the clouds? You must know that clouds, rain and snow will attenuate the laser signal."

"So this plan, I think it's really a little hanging, but having said that, if anyone can really solve these problems in practice, that would be great! Personally, I think that if Huaxia still holds the Olympic Games next year, It might be possible to use this plan.”

"Oh, I see. Thank you, Professor Qin. I will give your opinion back to the boss."

"Well, no thanks, by the way, can you tell me who came up with this now?"

"Oh, this is Academician Ning's plan."

"Academician Ning? Ning Wei?"

"alright!"

"Then why are you hesitating? Let him tinker with it! What if it works? That is extremely valuable data and experience!"

401 plan two

"Long live Director Ning!"

Sitting on the special plane to the provincial capital of Qin Province, Chen Diancheng was the most excited.This probably has something to do with his young age.Only 21 years old this year, he is the youngest of all Ningwei's students.

In order to keep his word, Ning specially chartered a plane and took his students from the capital to the provincial capital of Qin Province, and then directly took the bus to the Future City in LP County for vacation to celebrate the successful conclusion of the March Awards Ceremony, of course It can also be said to be a follow-up after being drunk. There is no way, no one can stand without faith, and Ning Wei promised to take the students to the future city for vacation, and it was broadcast live...

Only Zhang Dingxi, who had returned home early, was not on the chartered flight, but it was fine. At this time, Zhang Dingxi was also on his way to the provincial capital of Qin Province. The two parties made an appointment to meet in Qin Province and take the bus to the future city together.

But then again, everyone really needs a break.Staying in the capital, he and Zhang Dingxi won't be very annoying during this time, so it's better to come out and relax.Ning's father is not interested in traveling far, and Jiang's mother has to take care of Jiang Chenlu who can't spare time, so Ning Wei simply takes Ning's mother, Jiang's classmate and Ning Ke out.

It is natural that I would rather the children become well-deserved group favorites on the plane.

When going out for the first time, Ke Ke was also extremely excited, happily running around on the plane. Mama Ning and classmate Jiang could only watch helplessly as a group of students in Ning Wei poured a lot of chocolate and various candies Stuffed it into the little guy's pocket, soon Ning Ke's pockets all over her body were filled with all kinds of her favorite sweets...

"You guys are enough, a child can only eat one piece of chocolate a day, and you can only watch her when you give her so much... If you want to tease the child, you should work harder and give birth by yourself in the future! Tell you to play You can bring your family members. Look at each of you. You are all in your 20s, and you don’t even have a girlfriend! Xiao Li graduated and still has a boyfriend. After studying with me for three years, the boyfriend is gone...You guys What have you learned from me?"

Swept by Mama Ning's stern gaze, Academician Ning, who could scold Fang Qiu in front of a group of bosses, could only ask a group of students to restrain themselves.

"Director Ning, you didn't teach us how to fall in love. Why don't Director Ning tell us how he caught up with our mistress? Let us learn as well." Chen Diancheng licked his face and coaxed.

"Haha, this is not me bragging. When I was a graduate student, I was definitely the love saint in the yard, especially about chasing girls. I understand it very well! If you don't believe me, you can ask Professor Lu!" Ning Said proudly.

In fact, Ning Wei’s behavior can probably be attributed to the psychology that the more human beings lack something, the more they like to brag about it. .For example, Ning Wei seldom brags in front of people how much money he has on his bank card, let alone what awards he has won, but he especially likes to brag about his lackluster relationship experience.Of course, Ning Wei is not bragging. His ability and wrist in chasing girls are indeed a little better than Lu Dongyi. After all, Lu Dongyi is still single...

"Okay, Ke Ke, go to the room with grandma and mother to watch cartoons, your father is going to teach his students." Ning's mother gave her son an angry look, and walked into the private room on the plane with Ning Ke in her arms. I left time and space for these masters and apprentices who finally relaxed and were about to start talking nonsense.

Yes, being a mother can't stand it anymore.

……

"Let me tell you, when you see a girl you like, you still have to be brave. After I saw your teacher's wife back then, I knew it was her, but she was not enlightened at that time, so I had to use some strategies. For example, first We need to build a united front, and let everyone around the two of us form a consensus that I am a perfect match with her, and if some people feel that they are not a good match, then let these guys feel the pain!"

Ning Wei spoke in a serious manner, and the disciples were dumbfounded...

After all, falling in love and using the routine of the united front is indeed beyond the cognition of these young people.

"No, Director Ning, how did you establish a united front back then?"

"Isn't this simple? Make trouble for my brothers and sisters! Let them form a unified understanding. As long as I have love troubles, they don't have to think about it. Isn't this united front established? Back then How powerful is the united front? Director Tian has to personally go off to help me pursue your teacher's wife, and the counselors of the Ning class, every time they see your teacher's wife, they rush forward and don't praise me for three minutes and refuse to leave."

This explanation was perfect. A group of children began to scrutinize each other, especially Chen Diancheng, who received the most scrutiny. Who made him a junior now...

"The next step is to find a theoretical basis. When we study mathematics and do artificial intelligence, we always hope to find an optimal solution, right? Love is indeed emotional, but for us, we need to find the rational side from the emotional This requires you to have a very clear understanding of what kind of partner you need in the future, and then prove that the other party is the best solution for your emotional life from the personalities of both parties and some characteristics in life."

"Look, like Jing Wen, this is a negative example. To tell you the truth, three years ago, when Jing Wen just took the exam for my students, she said that two people are only one street apart, and they can be in a long-distance relationship." I knew that this matter was most likely to happen...After all, love needs company after all. When I fell in love with your teacher's wife, as long as I didn't go on a business trip, I would have a meal with her no matter how busy I was every day .”

"This piece can actually be solved with an equation. The degree of warming up and cooling down of the relationship can be brought into various variables. For example, the time spent together every day, every week, or even every month. In more detail, use the time of each party. To match, and under the special space framework, to find the optimal solution..."

……

It took about an hour and forty minutes to fly from the capital to the provincial capital of Qin Province, and this was probably Ning Wei's most destructive hour and forty minutes.

If Ning Wei dared to announce his so-called optimal love theory to the public, no matter how much he had achieved, he would probably be sprayed with suspicion by young people who are looking forward to love.

Especially for young people who have just fallen in love, love is probably the most beautiful thing in the world. The feeling of intoxication brought by the crazy secretion of dopamine when they meet is enough to make people risk everything in order to get the same reward again , how can this be summarized by a completely rational mathematical analysis?

But for Ning Wei and his group of students, there is obviously no such trouble. On the contrary, many people think that what the instructor said is actually right.From a scientific point of view, fit has always been an important concept.It is not unacceptable to solve love by listing various variables into the equation.

Especially for Chen Diancheng, he became more motivated after listening to this class.

Seeing that Ningwei's awesome performance was coming to an end, and the crew had already announced that the plane was about to land, and everyone needed to stop free activities and put on their seat belts, Chen Diancheng began to play.

"Director Ning, I think you are right. When I go back, I will also apply for a project to develop a piece of software. The name is...it's called "Equation of Love". A variable is expressed in the form of numbers, and then everyone only needs to bring the variable into the equation, and then solve it intelligently, and the final value obtained is the degree of compatibility between the two parties, what do you think?"

"Haha, you Ning Society is not short of money, do you still need to ask me if you want to make a small software?" Ning Wei responded with a laugh.

A group of senior brothers and sisters looked at Chen Diancheng involuntarily...

How should I put it, it's no wonder that this kid is the most favored, and he is always taken care of by Director Ning in every possible way. It is good that he will never forget this guy. After all, this flattery is too natural, and he can always scratch itchy place...

How could they not think of such a simple thing?

"Xiao Chen, then you have to work hard to make this small software quickly, and then simply embed it directly into the Hongmeng system, just like minesweeping, and it will be the standard configuration of the Hongmeng system in the future. By the way, it should be more beautiful. Fortunately, it can also be equipped with [-]D animation, when various parameters are input, the software will give some synchronized [-]D images, which is more interesting." Li Jingwen couldn't help but said.

"Hey, senior sister, no problem, one month, one month to make sure the software is perfect." Chen Diancheng immediately responded.

……

After getting off the plane, Zhang Dingxi was already waiting for everyone here through a special channel to the airport pick-up gate.

After the round, on the bus, Ning Wei specially called Zhang Dingxi to sit beside him, while the others started the party on their own. Since childhood, Ning Ke sang "Little Mouse on the Lampstand" to everyone in the car. It turned into a sea of ​​joy, and Ning Wei chatted with Zhang Dingxi about some serious matters.

"It's good to go home and rest this time."

"Hey, it's okay. By the way, I brought you some special products from our place. It's in the suitcase. I'll send it to you later."

"These are small things. I have something else to tell you. After you left, Apple, Google, IBM, Facebook and Microsoft approached me, hoping to jointly formulate access standards for holographic displays in the future. I have not expressed my position on this matter. I You can talk about whatever you want, and ask for your opinion later, and you can act tougher. Find out more about the cases of these companies in the past, and use their morality to get all the benefits you should get, you know ?”

"Well, don't worry, Director Ning, I understand this. Learn from barbarians to control barbarians. Double standards are so easy to operate."

"That's fine."

Ning Wei nodded, and then said: "By the way, after you left, director Chen Jianwen found me, the chief director of this year's Olympic opening ceremony, and he hoped to use holographic display technology in the Olympic opening ceremony. Help you push it. I roughly estimated that four months is too hasty to lay the [-]D display technology in place in the Olympic venues. So I returned a space laser transmission plan to him.”

"Oh! What laser conduction scheme?" Zhang Dingxi asked with interest.

As for his own students, Ning Wei didn't hide anything from him, he probably shared his thoughts and made Liu Wei, who was sitting not far away, move his butt uncomfortably.

After hearing the plan, Zhang Dingxi thought for a moment, and said, "Director Ning, I also have a little suggestion, do you think it will work?"

"Say it!" Ning Wei said immediately.

"Hey, I think your plan is very good. However, although Director Ning said that it is not realistic to build our equipment in the hive as a whole, it is not a big problem to hang a three-dimensional screen in the air. Can we do this? According to your plan , The laser starts from the capital, circles around Huaxia, then returns to the capital, and then lights the torch, let’s change it a bit, the athletes are passing the torch, and at the end, a Chinese giant dragon appears above the stadium.”
