Tech Hammer

It's already very cold outside in Beijing in December, especially for Ning Wei, who lives in the south. Whenever the wind blows, he really feels the pain of being cut by the cold wind on his face. However, the wind in the capital is quite evil.

But the low temperature obviously did not extinguish the enthusiasm of a young man. On the contrary, after being interviewed by CCTV, Ning Wei became more and more active and began to let himself go amidst countless controversies.

And this kind of self-release can be said to be all-round.

When SpaceX's second space tour group took off, this time it took eight space tour groups around the earth three times. After the successful return, Musk once again began to emphasize the goal he had set to send people to space within the next 27 years. One million people land on Mars.

In response to the video of the speech that was sent back to China, Ning Wei mercilessly posted a long Weibo post titled "Three Questions to Musk."

The article is very long, with more than a thousand words. To put it simply, Ning Wei asked three questions from a technical level. He probably asked Lao Ma if he knew how much spaceships would be needed to carry millions of people to migrate on a large scale. Ensure the supply of living materials for millions of people and the ability to withdraw large-scale immigrants, and how to repair the natural environment of Mars in only thirty years to make it suitable for human survival.

At the end of the article, Ning Wei directly listed all the things Musk has done as a successful businessman that are in line with business logic but trample on the bottom line of human morality. And he directly shouted online that if humans need to immigrate millions to Mars in just thirty years to ensure the ecological environment of the earth, then why doesn’t Musk first transform the environment on the earth that is not suitable for human survival? For example, the orderly development of deserts, such as the transformation of desert islands deep in the ocean, so that they have the basic conditions for modern human survival and reproduction. After all, these transformations on the earth are definitely much easier than the transformation of Mars.

It was a fierce taunt. The reason why Musk didn’t dare to brag like this was because it was too easy to be exposed. As for the thirty-year incident, he could basically brag as much as he wanted. In the end, he directly threw out a sentence. : "A person who still doesn't understand autonomous driving has such unrealistic delusions as to challenge and conquer a planet about 55 million kilometers away from Earth that only appears once every fifteen years. Lao Ma, your character design should be... It collapsed."

Not to mention Ning Wei's influence on the Internet, with the momentum of just winning the Chen Shengshen Mathematics Award, Ning Wei's various outrageous remarks were already intensively discussed on the Internet, so as soon as this blog post was published, it once again caused various controversies. , Weibo soon fell again.

After all, this horse boss has countless fans around the world. Whether it is Tesla or SpaceX, he has indeed made many achievements, and the awesomeness he boasted was once realized. Even in China, there are not a few people who believe in the Horse Master, and many of them are even members of the Kochi community.

One can imagine the huge response caused by Ning Wei's long blog post, especially when Ning Wei didn't turn off the comments, so the comment area was filled with all kinds of curses almost immediately.

Of course, Ning Wei has long been used to being scolded, and meaningless abuse basically does no harm. But for those @he started to give him various technical details of popular science, Ning Wei’s Weibo also started to fight back.

They are all the most hard-core content. The Earth orbit and the Mars orbit do not mention the scale of millions of people at all. They just list the rocket carrying capacity required for a hundred-person spacecraft plus several months of supplies. The size of the spacecraft. If you want to put this A batch of humans will need to withdraw double the supplies they need to carry. If they do not withdraw the supplies needed to satisfy a hundred people living on Mars for a year...

A very rigorous calculation process, various formulas and data for the limited number of human beings that have sent probes and rovers to Mars were dug out, and then calculations began. Regarding the discussion of re-radiation on the surface of Mars, under the current conditions of the earth, it is expected to be large-scale. The technical difficulties of batch immigration were demonstrated one by one through rigorous formulas. We even proposed several modes of transportation and return through various mathematical and physical theories, and then put forward the technical difficulties one by one...

Every time he issued various arguments, Ning Wei never forgot to taunt him on Weibo, such as "Lao Ma said that immigrating to Mars is as easy as circling the Earth. Do you really believe it? He said that the shit on Mars is delicious. Are you going to line up to go to Mars and eat shit? So idiots are contagious, right?"

Another example is "Don't be silent, old horse. Please use your wisdom to answer a primary school student's question. Are you simply stupid or simply bad?"

The debate lasted for a full two weeks. Ning Wei posted hundreds of Weibo posts and posted more than 2,000 pictures of various calculation processes. Almost all of them were densely packed with various complex mathematical or physical equations, but basically except for the last micro The conclusions written in words on the blog are probably only one in a million netizens who can understand the calculation process.

This resulted in relatively less curses in the comments section for a certain period of time. Of course, it's just relative. In fact, the curses are not necessarily less. The main reason is that countless people who never comment have been exposed.

"Fuck, what the hell is this Weibo? I just went to work overtime for a week without being able to access the Internet, and Weibo has already started to steal the business of Zhihu and CNKI?"

"Ning Wei, the god of learning, thinks highly of me. The calculation procedures he posted, if I can understand a picture, my college mathematics and physics teachers will burst into tears."

"In the history of Weibo, this is not the most hard-core quarrel on the entire Internet. There are actually people who are serious enough to conduct such hard-core science popularization on the Internet. Of course, if Ning Wei can use language that people can understand. The best!”

"I decided to contribute the first comment on Weibo. It was so cool! I randomly took a screenshot of a set of pictures and asked my instructor. As a result, my instructor asked me to make a mathematical model from the earth to Mars, and said that I have the ability. , I quickly introduced Mr. Ning’s Weibo to the tutor, and the tutor was stunned after reading it!”

"MMP! We agreed that everyone has nine years of compulsory education. If I can recognize a symbol in these pictures, I won't blame my primary school teacher. Is it true that my physical education teacher taught me math?"

"I just came across a question on Zhihu. The question is how ignorant can a person be? I saw an answer, and the answers were all pictures posted by Ning Wei Xueshen. Buddha, really Buddha, how ignorant can a person be? I don’t know to what extent, but I can be so ignorant that I can’t understand a single punctuation mark in these pictures.”

"In the Huojiujian series, I only heard that mathematicians are awesome before, but now I know how awesome mathematicians really are."

"I am currently studying for a doctorate in science at a 211 university. My sister sent me Dr. Ning Wei's Weibo and asked me to help her explain how the conclusion was reached through those calculation processes. I was stunned after reading it! I heard that Ning Wei I’m also studying for a Ph.D., so I just want to ask if the master doesn’t have to think about graduation? With that much time, he can write dozens of papers, right? I can’t afford to offend him, I can’t afford to offend him!”

…

Really, God knows how many people who have never been on Weibo have been blown away by Ning Wei’s operation. Judging from the speed of Weibo updates, except for the period from 1 a.m. to 6 a.m. when there is no movement, Ning Wei seems to have been fighting for this matter at other times.

The direct effect was that the topic of immigrating to Mars spread around the world at the speed of light starting on the second day of the debate. With the help of a group of people watching the excitement and not taking it too seriously, Ning Wei's Weibo began to broadcast live to the world at the same time. As a result, various public opinion whirlpools started again, and even Germany's SAT1 and France's France TV station jointly launched a program "Musk's Mars Plan Revealed".

The content of the program is actually to invite two relevant experts to interpret Ning Wei's Weibo posts in an extremely relaxed way. For example, I would like to tell everyone in a simple way what the formulas published by Ning Wei roughly mean, and then interpret whether the cynicism on Weibo is justified. If it is justified, the guests on the show will not mind using more sarcastic language to describe Boss Ma's comments. Bold words and irony.

This once again made many people extremely angry, especially Boss Ma, who was in the whirlpool.

In the Bel Air neighborhood of Los Angeles, California, Elon Musk spent several hours in his mansion before roughly browsing through the Weibo content summarized by his staff.

In fact, he received the news the night Ning Wei posted that long Weibo post, but Musk didn't pay attention at that time.

After all, it’s not just once or twice that he has been criticized like this. Almost every time he attends an event, gives a speech, or expresses some forward-looking views in front of the media, some doubts arise. As long as these doubts are ignored, they will soon die out.

And the situation was great at that time. SpaceX's Crew Dragon spacecraft was launched for the second time. It successfully carried people around the Earth's orbit for three times and then was perfectly recovered. This has caused SpaceX's valuation to rise sharply. Investors were delighted and everything was going well, so he said in the interview He reiterated his previous boastful words again.

Yes, although SpaceX is not listed, as long as the valuation continues to rise, it will be enough to satisfy investors. Not to mention that the success of this flight directly caused the price of dogecoin to experience a surge. After all, many people are hyping up in the currency circle that buying dogecoin with Musk’s platform is equivalent to buying the original shares of SpaceX.

Not to mention that the further increase in the valuation of SpaceX has also allowed Tesla's stock, which also belongs to Master, to start to improve. After U.S. technology stocks have just suffered a collective hit, they have finally begun to slowly recover.

But who would have thought that a young mathematician with great influence in China would suddenly come out and start to be tough with him, but his fans in China would argue with this young mathematician, which would trigger this series of accidents... …

Yes, it was an accident, because after the public opinion fermented, countless reporters saw the topic, so many scientists who were already unhappy with him also stood up and began to be interviewed, and put forward their own opinions on Musk's immigration theory in a relatively mild manner. some opinions, and most of these opinions are negative.

For example, a very well-known American astrophysicist directly described him as "a romantic and wealthy poet." At first glance, it seems to be a compliment to him, but if you look deeper, how can any poet complete the task of emigrating humans to Mars? ambition?

Of course, there are more unkind remarks. For example, a European scientist working at CERN commented: "I don't know much about the debate you are talking about. I don't have time to understand it. But one million people will immigrate to Mars in thirty years? Okay?" , this sounds wonderful, but does anyone really believe what a businessman says? We all know that businessmen will say anything for money. If I have to judge, we can send two astronauts to Mars within thirty years. , and then bringing them back safely after a short stay is already a victory for all mankind.

The effect was also obvious. The price of dogecoin suddenly fell sharply without any warning. What is even more worrying is that Tesla’s stock price, which finally started to show signs of recovery, also began to fall. Under such circumstances, how could it continue without warning? Pay attention?

"Is this Ningwei crazy? Have we ever offended him?" Elon Musk threw a thick stack of information on the table and asked loudly.

In fact, this kind of words are not easy to answer, but as Musk's assistant, Julian Dreyer knew that his silence at this time would probably make his boss even more angry, so he could only bite the bullet and replied: "In fact, he This is not the first time. On the last day of September, he attacked the entire Metaverse concept stock."

"So what's in it for him?" Musk continued.

It's really hard to answer this question. God knows what good it will do for Ning Wei to be so annoying.

…

In fact, not only Elon Musk wants to know the answer to this question, but Ning Wei’s mentor Tian Yanzhen also wants to know the answer to this question.

He even went to Ning Wei's office to discuss this issue with his students: "What are you thinking about?"

Ning Wei was not surprised. In fact, he had thought everything out when he started doing this. It is certainly impossible for a tutor to remain indifferent when he sees his students not doing their job properly.

Then he replied: "Director Tian, ​​if I say that this is a struggle for human truth, can you accept this explanation?"

Tian Yanzhen didn't say anything, he just looked at Ning Wei quietly, watching how his talented student who never followed the routine continued to act.

"Okay, Director Tian, ​​I simply think that after winning the award and gaining prestige, of course I should use it and work hard for my own ideals." Ning Wei changed his words.

Just at this time, Lu Dongyi walked into Ning Wei's office with a stack of information. The moment he saw Tian Yanzhen, the assistant professor thought for a while, and then planned to leave first and come back to discuss with Ning Wei later.

"Director Tian, ​​you guys are busy first, I'll come back later."

"Wait, Dongyi, can you tell me what Ning Wei wants to do?" Tian Yanzhen stopped Lu Dongyi and asked the same question again.

"Uh..." Lu Dongyi glanced at Ning Wei, and then replied tentatively: "Junior brother is working hard to popularize basic scientific principles. This should not be considered a mistake, right?"
