Tech Hammer

"I have great news for you today!"

When having dinner with classmate Jiang, Ning Wei said mysteriously, with a particularly sincere smile on his face.

"What's the good news?"

"We were discussing a project to build a high-tech future city in your hometown. There was a kind old gentleman who immediately planned to raise US$500 million for us to build our project. And guess what? , this money is free of charge, and US$200 million will be received in the near future. I have inquired, this kind of money to assist the construction of backward areas in China does not have to pay taxes, which means that we raised it in one go More than 1 billion in start-up capital! And once the project starts, the funds for Huawei to build a Huawei Park in the city will also be available!"

"Huawei's budget is 7 billion. Someone will take the lead. Next, I will invite some big companies to settle in. This city will be awesome! And there is good news. Guess what? Brother Liu and his company are willing to participate. The city is under construction. You should also go to the Intelligent Research Center to see it. Look at the quality of their engineering team. They are really awesome! The construction is fast and good. I have prepared various construction plans and drawings. Maybe the construction machinery will go that way next month!"

"This is what I think. The construction of the city's main projects, including the three links, is handled by Brother Liu and his engineering team. After dividing the various areas, they are mainly responsible for the construction of the comprehensive entertainment area and the comprehensive technology experience area, and then other The companies that settled in the park will find their own engineering teams to build the park. The computer rooms that control the entire city are also handled by professional teams from Huawei and the three major operators. Think about it, I estimate that this technology experience city will be open to the outside world in at most three years. Open for business!”

Ning Wei happily described the future construction plan of the city that was still on the drawing board.

Classmate Jiang was very surprised...

Really, a kind old gentleman wants to invest 500 million US dollars in this project without asking for anything in return? And you don’t ask for anything in return?

This news is a bit too metaphysical. After all, US$500 million sounds like a number, but if we really want to understand the meaning behind this number, this amount of money will probably make many Chinese A-share listed companies jealous.

Jiang is studying economics, and the old professor has repeatedly stressed to everyone in class that about half of the nearly 5,000 China A-share companies have annual net profits that cannot even reach a small target. This is only an analysis of the financial reports released by listed companies at this stage. Whether the financial reports of many companies are completely true remains to be discussed. After all, those who work in finance will certainly be familiar with the matter of inflating business performance.

In many cases, increasing income and reducing expenses are very common operations. When the accounting major next door took classes, I probably heard about various cases where the operations were extremely outrageous. Economics professors occasionally mention some.

And 500 million US dollars is equivalent to about thirty small goals. Let’s put it this way. Generally, old men who have the ability to mobilize such a large amount of funds at one time are unlikely to be kind, classmate Jiang said, because people with very kind nature are really very good. It is difficult to have such strong financial resources or abilities.

"Ning Wei, are you kidding? Someone donated 500 million US dollars for this project? Didn't they ask you to do something bad?" Jiang said with some worry.

"Look what you said, classmate Jiang, do you think someone can control me? Let's put it this way, even if I want to do something bad for money, do you think our brother Liu can just sit back and ignore it? Right, Liu elder brother."

Ning Wei raised his head and looked at Liu Wei, who was kindly invited to have dinner with him in the cafeteria and was sitting alone across the dining table, and asked.

Liu Wei looked away from the dinner plate, then raised her head and nodded to Classmate Jiang very carefully.

"Look, don't get it wrong. Brother Liu participated in the whole chat process between me and that kind old gentleman. How should I put it? At that time, Brother Liu was moved by the old man's atmosphere. I finished chatting with the old gentleman. Later, Brother Liu also taught me to be more respectful to the old gentleman, which I deeply agree with. Right, Brother Liu?"

Liu Wei nodded again, not violating his original intention. Although Ning Wei's narrative method was very spring and autumn, it basically restored the facts.

Classmate Jiang showed a grateful smile towards Liu Wei, probably because Liu Wei's words were more credible than Ning Wei's.

"Look, classmate Jiang, so you can inform the people in your hometown who pay attention to these things about the good news. Brother Liu said that Mr. Chen will come to sign a contract with me in a few days, and I will authorize them to plan these things." When the time comes, Mr. Chen will go to Huawei to connect. There will be other parks in the future, and Mr. Chen will also go to connect. This matter will be no problem." Ning Wei concluded happily.

Classmate Jiang nodded, turned to look at Ning Wei, his eyes were a little red...

"Hey, um, I said this is a good thing. You won't be so excited, right?" Ning Wei was a little nervous.

"Ning Wei, thank you!"

"It's not necessary for us to talk about this, right?"

"It's necessary because I know you did this because of me. Thank you very much."

"Oh, you're welcome...or you'll get used to it later?"

"..."

Liu Wei looked at the young couple across from him with a dazed expression. He was really not jealous, he was just thinking about what the kind old man was thinking at this time.

…

The old man is sleeping. As the old man said, as you get older, your energy is no longer as good as that of young people.

Of course, he still arranged some things before he fell asleep. Based on the principle of easier things first and harder things later, someone was the first to find the Glinya family who had not yet had time to leave Manhattan.

Manhattan is both small and large at the same time.

As the city center of New York, it has the most high-rise buildings in the world, the densest employment area, and many world-renowned universities, such as the famous Columbia University, Dalton University, Juilliard School of Music...

Many people even think that if there is a paradise in this world, it must be here. The developed service industry allows the rich to enjoy all the services they need here. The power of money is taken to the extreme here.

Yes, this is a city where money smells like breath, and it’s easy to get lost in it. Of course, if your pockets are empty, you probably won’t be able to live a comfortable life here. High housing prices and commodity prices will become the biggest obstacles to human survival.

From this point of view, the Glinya family can be considered quite wealthy. Even though all the activities planned here have been cancelled, the family is still living in a hotel in lower Manhattan.

Yes, the previous hotel room has been refunded. Under the arrangement of the hotel, the family got in a car arranged by the hotel from the parking lot and left, and moved to another hotel. The price for the hotel to send away this plague god was The room fee for two days was waived, and the free vehicle delivery service was also provided.

But this is also a must for a high-end hotel.

Their customers are either rich or noble. These people pay more attention to their privacy. Naturally, they don't want a group of reporters squatting at the door like mice at all times when they come in and out of the hotel.

Of course, this does not trouble the Sackler. In fact, this family can still be found on the earth. It is nothing more than the cost. The man who behaved low-key and humble when reporting in front of the Sackler, Wearing neat formal clothes, he sat in front of a family of three with a peaceful expression.

Gelina knew the middle-aged man named Roman in front of her.

Although the two have only met once, the young man's memory is always so good. She remembered that it was at a high-level banquet. This middle-aged man was the most popular man at the banquet. He only had to stand there gracefully, and many people would take the initiative to talk to him...

Of course, at that time, she was not as famous as she is now, for example, she was not powerful enough to be on the stage of the United Nations. But after that dinner, she met the man in front of her, and her career and life seemed to switch to a simple mode.

She began to gain more exposure. No matter what she wanted to do, the media followed and reported it, and the popularity spread. She even began to be taken seriously by politicians from various countries. Many big shots would meet with her at the request of her countless fans. She began to no longer be content with sitting quietly, but instead made more and louder voices. She even stepped onto the stage of the United Nations, surrounded by countless cameras, to question the destruction of the environment around the world...

At this time, seeing Mr. Roman again at the lowest point in her life, Glinya's heart was full of expectations. Angels always appear when people need her most. She looked at Mr. Roman expectantly, hoping that he could use his magical power to climb out of the muddy swamp.

"You all know what happened on the Internet recently. This matter is very troublesome, and some of our very capable friends can't do anything about it. Now that the matter has come to this, we still have to think of a way out. What I mean is to send Gelina back to school. Go back. The place where she should stay at her age is the best for her... We even have higher expectations for Glinya, hoping that she can get into an Ivy League university."

The middle-aged man said in a gentle tone, and looked at Gelina with eyes full of expectation.

Glinya's parents breathed a sigh of relief. Ivy League? It's still good to be gilded. Graduating from an Ivy League university is also a way. At least those alumni resources are wealth that ordinary people can't touch.

The only one who was unhappy was probably Grenya. She wanted to argue, but her mother held her down...

Well, because of his own willfulness, he put the family into a difficult dilemma, which can help this little girl who is not yet twenty years old understand the importance of restraint, especially since Mr. Roman has a gentle smile, but he has a kind of... The temperament of a superior person cannot be concealed, which makes her dare not make too many mistakes.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Roman. I don't know which university you plan to arrange for Glinya to go to? Columbia or MIT? In fact, if I have a choice, I still hope that Glinya can go to Harvard or Yale to study political science or the University of Pennsylvania. Professionals such as policy formulation and analysis, you know, this is related to Grenya's future goals..."

Halfway through his words, his father was interrupted directly by the middle-aged man opposite.

He frowned, and then said softly: "Wait a minute, Mr. Morrison, you may have misunderstood me. I didn't mean to introduce a school to Glinya. In fact, I hope that Glinya can come back." Go to the high school campus and rely on your own efforts to take the exam and get into an Ivy League college based on your own ability. Yes, there will be no preferential treatment based on your own ability. As for what major she will study in the future, I don’t think anyone will To interfere.”

This sentence made the whole family on the other side stunned, and then they started to look at each other.

Admitted to an Ivy League university based on Grenya's abilities?

Is the man across from you kidding?

Even though most colleges and universities are based on the principle of "easy admission and strict exit", for ordinary children, the admission to Ivy League colleges is very strict. Everyone knows that there is no status bonus, no large donations, and admission is based solely on merit. For those in the United States, It is not an easy thing for children, let alone international students.

Without any help, Gelanya could get into an Ivy League university on her own?

"Mr. Roman, I don't quite understand what you mean." The father said slowly.

"Don't I understand what I said? I hope that Gelina can study hard and rely on her own ability to get into an Ivy League university in the near future. Any school will do. This is the most responsible thing for her future. This It's not just a suggestion, it's a requirement. In other words, Gelina must study hard in school in the future until she is admitted to an Ivy League university. Is this clear enough?"

The middle-aged man said with an unchanged expression.

"What if Glinya fails the exam?" Mom couldn't help but ask.

"If you don't pass the exam, you can continue studying in high school until you pass. I will find ways to supervise her. Of course, I suggest that you also take real responsibility, especially in the study of your children. If you still want If you want to maintain your current comfortable life, please follow my advice. Otherwise, your life may be in trouble. Really, this is not alarmist, the important thing is that I believe you should understand that I have this ability."

Roman spread his hands and said softly.

Although he needed to be submissive in front of the old man, facing this family, he only needed to maintain his gentlemanly demeanor. The old man can control his life, and he can control the life of the family in front of him.

The world is so wonderful, and the power of control is even more intoxicating.

The family was confused...

What kind of requirement is this? If it was really for Glinya's good, shouldn't he help her go to college directly? Why high school? Grenya has never attended school seriously in recent years. If she really had a high talent for learning, she probably wouldn't choose to go out and meditate on study days and spend all her energy on various sports...

"And I suggest that Greenia can learn more mathematical knowledge. The issue of environmental protection is eternal. We can look forward to scientific progress to solve things that we cannot solve now. In fact, many problems cannot be solved by shouting slogans. Maybe In the future, Greenia can become a scientist and find some scientific methods to solve current environmental problems? Are you right? Greenia!"

Roman asked, staring at Glinya. Although his voice was gentle, it was full of pressure.

It's a pity that the girl has been confused for a long time...

She didn't understand what this gentleman meant at all...

Have you been studying in high school since you couldn't pass the exam? What kind of life would this be? !

…

Finally, major social software companies can breathe a sigh of relief as the crazily increasing number of educational content on the platform ceases.

If this situation continues, they will really consider how to directly cut off the flow of a certain type of content.

Relying on quantitative advantages to make up for current restrictions...

There is really no one else who can do this...

Of course, this also teaches everyone a lesson on how to deal with the problem of duplicate content ravaging the Internet at a speed beyond cognition in the era of strong artificial intelligence. In addition, many people are more eager for true strong artificial intelligence technology, because generally speaking, only magic can defeat magic.

Yes, some people have mastered magic now, and it's a scary proposition.

Of course, for many ordinary students, it feels like relief. Really, the days before were a bit too scary! Where can there be better learning than the comfort of scolding Fang Qiulie on the rugby field? In most schools, perfect scores on all exams are definitely not a cool thing. Everyone admires the stars on the football field and basketball court.

That's real life. Of course, it doesn't matter to them what happened in the past two days. What matters is that everything is back to normal, which is good.

…

The capital of China, just as Ning Wei said, he enjoys the quiet life now.

The life between Yanyuan, office, and Weiming Lake seems monotonous to the outside world, but Ning Wei feels very comfortable and even enjoys it.

Indulging in pleasure and drinking may make people unable to extricate themselves from it, but it is accompanied by the emptiness that leads to the end of the world.

Learning is different. You will never be empty at any time, because there are always endless questions to complete.

Probably stimulated by the double harvest of love and career, Ning Wei's ideas were also opened up. After completing the textbook compilation, he also completed the first paper "Strong Artificial Intelligence Combined with Regional Elements" that he was going to submit to the March Intelligence Journal. Mathematical Foundations of the Universe".

If Ning were to judge for himself, it would definitely be more than enough for his paper to be published in the four legendary mathematics journals. Of course, the premise is to eliminate some human influences. It's just that now he has long since lost his pursuit of publishing a top issue, so it is meaningless.

Moreover, this paper currently only has a Chinese version, and he has no intention of translating it into an English version before submitting it.

Ning Wei is serious about running his own journal well. The first issue of artificial intelligence in the future will need papers like his that are full of information.

At present, the smart journal in March is only the core of Yanbei, and the next step is to become the core of the world. In the end, if I don’t order their journals for artificial intelligence projects, I will be embarrassed to say hello to others.

Ning Wei wrote the paper in the office, and then logged into the official website of March Smart Journal in a serious manner. After submitting the paper very formally through the journal submission system, Brother Lu from next door rushed in within two minutes.

"You submitted for that paper just now."

"Yes, Senior Brother Lu."

"Who do you think is better for trial?" Lu Dongyi asked directly.

"This...Senior Brother Lu, is it inappropriate for you to ask me directly? According to the rules, as a paper author, you have to avoid suspicion, right?" Ning Wei was a little confused.

"There are too few professors studying the mathematical theory of artificial intelligence. This is a mathematical theory paper. In fact, what I mean is, should you go through the motions or just post it directly." Lu Dongyi said expressionlessly.

"This..." Ning Wei pondered for a moment. This is indeed very troublesome. It is so troublesome to start a new field. It is not convenient to find someone to review the manuscript.

Of course there are big names in artificial intelligence research in China, but most of them are application-oriented, and the research done in mathematics is probably not related to Ning Wei’s ideas. It is indeed difficult to find reviewers.

As for finding foreign experts, it is even less reliable, because this paper does not have an English version. This is also the rule set by the March Journal when it was first established. It will neither accept nor produce a special English version. In Ning Wei's words, some foreign bigwigs must also try the pain of language barrier.

It is very troublesome to translate many professional vocabulary from English into Chinese, and it is also very troublesome to translate Chinese into English, which greatly tests the professional ability of the translator. Of course, if the structure and grammar of Chinese can also become points of complaint for reviewers.

As for whether purely Chinese-language journals can get enough attention from the academic community, whether they can become internationalized, and whether they can become the world's top core journals, Ning Wei has never worried. With March here, the March Smart Journal will be the top issue sooner or later. Because March is now the benchmark for strong artificial intelligence technology in the world.

"It's better to review it, otherwise I always feel that this journal is not formal." Ning Wei thought for a while and said.

"Okay, then I will review it myself, and then invite Professor Xu, Academician Lu and... March?"

"Okay...let's do it!" Ning Wei nodded.

How should I put it, submitting articles to my own journals does feel a bit weird.

It is enough that the reviewers have to discuss it with themselves, and they have to leave it to March to review his manuscript.

How should I put it? His paper used a lot of backend data from March to support some theorems. Asking March to review it was probably equivalent to asking this little guy to re-examine his own heart...

I don’t know what March will be like.

If we want to take it a step further, if the daughter comes to review her father's paper, will she lose her principles because of this relationship? In short, the submission of this paper was just like a joke, lacking some sense of ceremony and... a sense of expectation.

The facts were not as expected by Ning Wei.

Senior Brother Lu turned around and left, probably to study his paper. Then about three hours later, Lu Dongyi sent him the review opinion of March, the editor-in-chief of the March Intelligence Journal - passed.

March has maintained its consistent high review efficiency. The difference is probably that the review opinions given have no trace of poisonous tongue at all.

"Obviously this is a paper of extremely high quality. It can even be said to be the best paper in the field of artificial intelligence number theory at present. It is not certain whether there will be others in the future, but it is certain that it is unprecedented! This paper refreshes my understanding of human intelligence. Cognition of the upper limit. Therefore, the final review opinion is approved, and it is recommended to be published on the homepage of the first issue, and the title of this paper and the portrait of the author should be quoted on the cover of the journal."

The weather suddenly changed and I felt uncomfortable, so I had to eat a little less. Please forgive me!
