Hammer of Technology

"What are you afraid of? Why are we ashamed as VIPs?"

After the man was dazed, he suddenly became a little irritable and panicked. The young man who was talking to Yu Xingwei looked so young, could it be...

Is it...

However, after the simple conversation between the two, they didn't say a word. He turned around quietly and asked the girl beside him in a low voice: "Does that young man look familiar to you?"

The girl shook her head blankly.

The aunt next to me couldn't stand it anymore, and said, "Don't ask, just now I saw the name written on the young man's information bag outside, that young man is Ning Wei, who has even been on CCTV, what kind of eyes are you looking at?" ah?"

"Eh?" The man was taken aback, then froze.

There was a whisper of low laughter all around...

The man's face flushed instantly, like bare feet on pins and needles...

What a terrible scene of a large-scale social death.

The effect is also obvious...

Ning Wei didn't want to chat with Yu Xingwei anymore.

All the subsequent conversations got into his ears, and there were obviously more eyes looking at him...

Fortunately, after this episode, the interviews for both of them went smoothly.

In the process of showing the invitation letter and necessary materials, and answering a few questions from the interviewer, the other party directly stamped the invitation letter after verifying the authenticity of the invitation letter.

After finishing, when he was about to leave, he inevitably had a face-to-face meeting with the man behind him.

"Ahem, bro, see you at the meeting!"

110 This is the Collision Field of Ideas

After getting the visa, I called Lu Dongyi, then went back to the hotel to pack my luggage, and then went to Yanbei University to experience it.

In fact, Yanbei University is not too big. We walked around the Weiming Lake, studied the two couplets that are said to be written by Emperor Qianlong himself, looked at the Boya Pagoda on the east side of the lake, and walked around the campus. After turning around and discussing the layout of the courtyard on the campus, Lu Dongyi took him to the Mathematics Research Center and met a group of professors, researchers, and Ning Wei's future brothers and sisters.

In the evening, I had dinner in the dining hall of the former royal garden, and then I was sent to the hotel on campus.

Yu Xingwei was happy with all the arrangements, anyway, he just took pictures of himself, played with his mobile phone, said politely when he should be polite, and said nothing when he shouldn't talk.

He also figured it out, he perfectly fulfilled the boss's request to him, and was by Ning Wei's side 24 hours a day, that's enough.

As for how sweet Ning Wei's teacher, brother, and sister yelled at the Peking University International Mathematics Center, he had the right to pretend that he couldn't hear it.

Anyway, if the boss wants to trouble him about this matter in the future, he has already prepared his speech.

"The little junior brother originally wanted to stay in the school with a heart, and even applied for the qualification of exempting students from the school, but was rejected by the school's research and admissions teacher, not to mention that he was punished with a notice of criticism at that time, no matter how hot it is My heart will be completely chilled by this basin of ice water! If you don’t want that red heart yourself, why don’t you allow him to make two-handed preparations?”

Most importantly, when Yu Xingwei saw the enthusiasm of these Yanda professors for Ning Wei, he himself felt that if Ning Wei didn't come, it would be outrageous!

……

After returning to school, under the coercion of Lu Changbin and the plea of ​​Yu Xingwei, Ning Wei focused on the turbulence algorithm.The main homework every day is to review papers published in "Science", re-write an abstract, and analyze laboratory data.

No way, both of them took this conference very seriously. After Ning Wei made a report on stage, he had to face questions from top scholars all over the world, maybe even cross-examination. It will be bad.

But Ning Wei really didn't think there would be any difficulties.

What he was afraid of was that those top leaders would not be able to ask in-depth questions, which would make his answers boring.

Of course, he wouldn't say that, it's boring.

Moreover, it was only a few days before the opening of the conference, so the wish of the two people was simply fulfilled.

On the day of departure, it was still Lu Changbin who personally drove the two to the airport.

Along the way, Yu Xingwei finally felt the teacher's attention.

"Xiao Yu, let me tell you, you must take good care of Ning Wei along the way. The discipline I set for you must be unconditionally followed, especially after seven o'clock in the evening. You are absolutely not allowed to step out of the hotel. Rest after the meeting One day, you have to follow Professor Shen’s advice. Foreign countries are different from domestic ones. You are absolutely not allowed to go to blocks that you cannot go to. Even if you go to the commercial street, you must be accompanied by someone. In addition, you must not let Ning Wei out of your sight for a minute Do you understand all of the above?"

Yu Xingwei couldn't help but said: "Don't worry, boss. Ning Wei is also a senior student, why is he still like a child in your eyes?"

"Stop talking nonsense! If he makes a mistake, Old Kong and those professors from the School of Science and Technology may not be able to kill me." Lu Changbin replied angrily.

See what this says...

Yu Xingwei complained frantically in his heart, Ning Wei, what's the matter, the people who really want Lu Changbin's life are definitely not the people from Jiang University's Mathematics Institute, and the people from Yan University will probably come over with machetes to chat with you about life.

Of course, Yu Xingwei didn't say this.

Ning Wei watched the scenery outside the car window the whole time.

What should be explained to him was explained yesterday, and he didn't bother to interrupt when Yu Xingwei was grinding.

Anyway, he doesn't like to run around.

"There is one more thing. You should be neither humble nor overbearing when dealing with people outside. If you encounter any unreasonable things against you, go to Professor Shen first. If Professor Shen can't handle it, call our country's embassy. Ambassador You have saved the telephone number of the embassy, ​​you can call if you encounter injustice or trouble.”

"Understood, Director Lu!"

In this way, while Lu Changbin was rambling on and on, he finally arrived at the airport.

The location of the meeting is the ancient city of Westin Alexandria in the United States, in the independent city of Alexandria in the United States, which belongs to the state of Virginia, but in fact this city is about six miles south of Washington, D.C., on the banks of the Potomac River, very far from the capital of the United States. close.

So the school directly booked the two of them a flight from Jiangcheng to Beijing, and then a direct flight to Washington. The whole journey was close to a whole day.

It was the first time to board an international flight. Ning Wei was quite excited at first, but after the excitement, he became bored.

Fortunately, the school is not stingy about participating in this kind of meeting that can bring glory to the school. It directly booked the business class for the two of them. After chatting with Yu Xingwei, the long voyage passed. Fifteen hours after getting on the plane from the capital, the plane finally landed at Ronald Reagan National Airport in Washington.

It was only a week's journey in total, and the two of them didn't bring much. They didn't encounter any troubles in customs clearance, and they entered the United States smoothly. When they walked out of the station, they saw a young man with the same skin color as them holding high. This sign has Ning Wei's name written on it.

In fact, it is different from domestic conferences. For general international academic conferences, the organizers will not send people to greet every visitor. They need to find transportation to the conference venue by themselves.

Someone came to pick it up because Lu Changbin was worried that Yu Xingwei and Ning Wei would come to the venue for himself, so he called Professor Shen and asked him to arrange a student to come pick him up.They had been told before departure that the person who came to pick him up was Feng Shaojie, who was said to be Professor Shen's assistant.

Ning Wei brought Yu Xingwei to Feng Shaojie who was holding a sign.

"Brother Feng?" Ning Wei asked.

Feng Shaojie whistled, put down the sign, and asked, "Are you Ningwei?"

Ning Wei nodded.

Feng Shaojie glanced at Yu Xingwei again: "Dr. Yu?"

"Ok!"

"It's finally time for you guys. The damn flight is delayed by more than half an hour. Let's go, the boss should be waiting impatiently. Oh, by the way, here are two temporary phones for you to use during the meeting. The boss specifically explained, After receiving you, ask Ning Wei to call the professor inland and report that you are safe. God, what is the time, and your boss still treats you like a child."

These words made the two of them feel a little embarrassed, even speechless, probably this is the expression of the true temperament of the West.

But after receiving the phone call from Feng Shaojie, Ning Wei called Lu Changbin honestly and reported that he was safe, so Director Lu couldn't be worried thousands of miles away.

In fact, apart from the more flamboyant speaking style, the foreign student who came to pick up Ning Wei actually had no other bad intentions.

On the way to the hotel where the meeting was held, the mouth basically never stopped.

"Is this your first time in America?"

"Yes." Ning Wei replied.

"Let me tell you, here in the United States, the good places are really good, and the bad places are really bad. When I was in China, I still couldn't understand the saying that heaven is on the left and hell is on the right. Here you can I understand in seconds. If you dare to think about it, just a block away, the speed of calling the police can make a huge difference. But then again, as long as you have enough money in this land, there will be someone to help you meet any needs."

Ning Wei nodded.

It wasn't ten years ago. He had heard similar arguments on the omnipotent network, but he hadn't experienced it himself.

"Is it really dangerous here at night?" Ning Wei couldn't help asking.

"Ha... It depends on the place. Don't listen to the mess in the country. You can't go out after six o'clock. It's bullshit. The truth is that the dangerous place here is dark 24 hours a day. In a safe place, you can stay in the middle of the night It’s okay to run naked on the street! Moreover, American cities and small towns are completely two worlds. In short, the specific situation should be analyzed on a case-by-case basis. But you can rest assured that such international academic conferences will be held in places with the best security.”

Feng Shaojie replied, then glanced at Ning Wei from the rear view mirror, with a strange smile on his face, and continued: "But I think you may be in danger even if you stay in the hotel."

"what?"

Ning Wei was startled.

"For example, you have to control yourself at the reception. Many people think that American women are very open, which is both a misunderstanding and a truth. If they meet a man they are interested in, they will have a one-night stand after a few chats. It is very common. Of course, if She is not interested in you, and you may cause trouble even if you just have excessive words. But rather I think a young scholar like you will definitely be very popular with girls at this meeting. But remember, really If something happens, we must take protective measures."

I can't accept this.

Ning Wei glanced at Yu Xingwei, who was chuckling with his head down.

At this moment, the car slightly slammed on the brakes, causing the two of them to rush forward, but fortunately they had their seat belts on.

Ning Wei raised his eyes and saw a car suddenly cutting into front of their car, and Feng Shaojie obviously had the potential to suffer from road rage syndrome, so Dang even began to scold: "Fake, these stupid dirty body odors are so stupid that they haven't fully evolved yet. Human beings, can’t even drive a car properly?”

Accompanied by this series of curses, Feng Shaojie severely honked the horn three times.

Then Ning Wei saw a black arm protruding from the driver's seat of the car in front, clenched his hand into a fist, and stabbed his middle finger towards the sky...

The sound of the horn stopped immediately, and Feng Shaojie in his seat became much quieter in an instant.

"This is one of the most valuable American survival experiences. Don't try to reason with any black people you meet on the street, and don't lose your temper with them. Because in the United States, don't look at their equal rights slogans loudly, but in reality The entire black group has the lowest level of education. So once they get to the top, most of them prefer to solve problems with their fists rather than their brains. What’s more frightening is that they are often poor, and many of them are on the verge of bankruptcy. It is also the lowest level of insurance, even if you beat you, you won’t be able to pay for it..."

"The most amazing thing about old beauties is that they will confuse non-my races to live a happy life where they can drink coffee every day and enjoy life. Then their own people will study everything that can instantly deprive their lives, I usually shout that everything is equal, but it’s really troublesome, piupiupiu! Do you know why we Chinese are not popular? Because most Chinese people don’t believe in their happy education, even in the United States, they value education more than any other ethnic group, so They can tolerate stupid black people, but they are always wary of Chinese people. This is America, a place that is exquisite and realistic to the extreme!"

Ning Wei and Yu Xingwei looked at each other again, and then they both kept silent, it was not convenient for them to discuss such things.

Fortunately, the location of the meeting, the Westin Alexandria Old Town Hotel, is not far from the Ronald Reagan National Airport where Ningwei and the others landed, only about a few kilometers away. Drive into the hotel.

Ning Wei finally saw the truest side of the capitalist country. When the car stopped at the entrance of the hotel, a waiter immediately stepped forward to open the car door, put their luggage on the trolley, and Feng Shaojie also got out of the car , directly threw the car keys to the hotel parking driver, took Ning Wei to the hotel front desk to check in, and finally pushed the luggage into the room with the help of the waiter.

In China, Lu Changbin has repeatedly explained that in the United States, he must remember to tip any form of service, and he specially asked them to bring some change, handed over two dollars, and the waiter left satisfied.

"Okay, I'm going to talk to the boss. You guys should take a rest first, and beat the jet lag. This is a meeting minutes, including the meeting schedule, and the distribution map of the poster in the lobby. You can choose the report you are interested in Maybe go shopping for posters. But your report will be arranged at [-] o’clock tomorrow afternoon, and you are free to move around at other times, but you must arrive at the main venue at this time.”

"Huh? So that means we don't have to attend the report meeting tomorrow morning?" Ning Wei asked in surprise, which seemed to be a little different from the seriousness of the top meeting he had imagined.

"Of course, this kind of academic conference is not mandatory. If you are interested, go to listen. If you are not interested, of course you will do your own thing. Many special guests disappear after the first day, and some people pay to sign up for the conference just to At the dinner party on the first day, if you want to meet a certain boss or get an offer, you will naturally not stay longer after completing the task or finding that it is impossible to complete the task.”

"Do you think that everyone who signed up for the conference can understand what those reports are saying? The purpose of this kind of conference is to spark the future through the collision of ideas. Of course, everyone is looking for something that matches their research direction, or I am more interested in listening. Of course, the greater charm of this kind of academic conference is that the top scholars in the industry will gather here. If it is really a diamond, it will definitely not be dusty. And as far as I know, many people are interested in You are very interested in your report, so come on, boy. You can contact me when you wake up, and I will take you to familiarize yourself with the environment. My number is saved in that temporary mobile phone."

After finishing speaking, Feng Shaojie turned around and left gracefully, leaving Ning Wei and Yu Xingwei in the suite.

The two looked at each other, and then Ning Wei picked up the manual left by Feng Shaojie.

"I'm going to sleep first, the [-]-hour flight, my old back is going to break. By the way, you must not go out alone." Yu Xingwei dismissed the manual, took the luggage and got in first. own room.

The room arrangement is very thoughtful. The suite with two bedrooms and one living room allows him to be with Ning Wei all the time without disturbing each other.

Ning Wei nodded, took the manual and walked into his room, lying on the bed and looking at the schedule in the manual, he quickly found his name.

Sure enough, his report meeting was at two o'clock in the afternoon on the first day of the meeting.

Then I looked at the so-called poster map curiously, and then I probably understood the meaning of the so-called poster, which is probably to display some of my own scientific research results, or patents, discuss with interested people, or even find potential collaborators.

Combining what Feng Shaojie said just now, Ning Wei has a new understanding of this kind of top conference.

This is not only an academic meeting of an exchange nature, but also a large-scale professional exhibition.

The brains of foreigners are really powerful, and academic conferences can also play tricks, such as accepting self-funded applicants to give reports or presentations, which can not only generate income, but also enhance influence...

Of course, even if you spend money to make reports or posters, the topic must be reviewed by the organizing committee, and even if you pass the review, whether these self-funded reports or presentations can attract the audience depends entirely on their ability.

This is a brilliant move. You may be able to gain both fame and fortune by holding a conference. It really is the market economy that dominates everything!

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

111 Blame him?

Ning Wei was half lying on the bed, studying the meeting schedule.

Artificial intelligence has indeed become the biggest outlet of this era, as can be seen from the themes of the special guests invited to this conference.

On the first day, a total of five guest reports were almost all related to artificial intelligence, two of which were based on deep learning, one was based on the breakthrough of random algorithms, and the other was about swarm intelligence algorithms to solve optimization problems. One is his turbulence algorithm.

As for the various reports on the second day, there are more reports in various conference rooms in the hotel. The participants of the conference can choose topics of their own interest to participate in the reports of different research directions.

Looking at it, a sense of drowsiness struck, Ning Wei closed his eyes and leaned on the bed, falling into a deep sleep.

……

This time he fell into a dark sleep, and when Ningwei woke up, he was awakened by the sound of the TV from the living room.

When he got up, he saw that Yu Xingwei was leisurely leaning on the sofa and watching TV.

"When did you wake up?"
