The End of Technology

"Mr. Summers, I must stay in China for one more year."

"Dominette, can you stop being so willful! I don't know how the Chinese brainwashed you, but you should know that in order to promote this cooperation, we even have to pay double wages!"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Summers, but I find I can really improve a lot here. I need more time."

"Dominite, tell me, are you planning to stay in China? They must have promised a lot, right?"

"How is it possible? God, Lawrence, why do you have such terrible thoughts? On the contrary, I can feel that many people here are not so friendly to me, because they don't want me to have too much contact with Ningji."

"Even so, you still want to stay there?"

"Okay, I admit, there were some small mistakes, but this also makes me more confident to convince Ning Zi to teach at Harvard in the future! Believe me, this is true! I will be involved in something very important and meaningful. Let’s get through the matter. Do you still remember the paper Ning Zi published on Ning’s segmentation method?”

"Of course, so what?"

"I won an opportunity to be allowed to organize many of these genius mathematical ideas. This means for Harvard that when I go back, I will be able to compile the latest mathematics textbooks. You should know that this means for Harvard What a great opportunity for the School of Mathematics! And in the process of cooperating with Ning Zi, I will have more opportunities to persuade him to come to Harvard with me to teach after completing this work!"

"Huh...Dominette, I always have a bad feeling when I hear you say that. By the way, have you followed the recent Diderot mathematics forum?"

"Um? No, I remember there seemed to be an invitation letter in the mailbox, but I ignored it. After all, my current job is very important."

"Okay, that's just not paying attention. In fact, at this year's Diderot Mathematics Forum in Paris, our young mathematicians discussed Ning's NS equation and invited Mr. Louis Nirenberg to give a ten-minute lecture speech. He spoke with Sholin Kress on the phone. Both of them commented on this paper as being as flawless as God, and admitted that Ning Zi had completely solved this problem, and that Ning Zi would become the most important person in the 21st century. One of the great mathematicians."

A series of comments made Dominette silent for a long time.

If it had been changed before, he would probably still be very unconvinced. At this time, he could only sigh.

Gold is indeed easy to find...

Of course, it is not surprising that Louis Nirenberg made this judgment.

Every mathematician feels that the direction of his or her research is the most important, and Louis Nirenberg has studied partial differential equations all his life and is an absolute authority in this field. He also received the Abel Award for his contributions in this area. Mathematics Prize.

Louis Nirenberg is one of the most cited mathematicians in the world. Some even say that he revolutionized the way partial differential equations are studied. For example, Ning Zi's paper on the NS equation only quoted the conclusions of three papers, two of which were written by this big man.

Not to mention that Louis Nirenberg is 87 years old this year. If he had not been specially invited, he probably would not have participated in this discussion at all. This is probably why the speech is only ten minutes long.

It is estimated that the old gentleman's energy is no longer so strong.

As for Sholin Kress mentioned by Louis Nirenberg, he was a student of the generation of mathematical wizard Peter Lax. He was also an expert in partial differential equations in mathematics and won the Fields Medal in 1993. guy.

It can be said that with Louis Nirenberg's public statement, at least in the mainstream mathematics community, no one will jump out to question Ning's conclusion.

"Actually, I'm not surprised at all that they would come to such a conclusion. But I can tell you, Lawrence, in fact, Ning Zi's achievements in mathematics are definitely not limited to his contributions in the direction of PDE. If you have seen the manuscript paper he used for his calculations, You will find that he is an all-rounder, proficient in most fields of mathematics. As far as I know now, he has profound knowledge in geometric measurement, stochastic analysis, modular representation theory, etc. I don’t even know how he learned it !”

"So, Dominic, are you sure you have participated in such an important job? Can you really come back smoothly?"

"No, no, no, Lawrence, you misunderstood. What I have been exposed to is purely theoretical research. It does not involve specific application fields. I think Ning Zhe will publish a series of mathematical papers next to consolidate his knowledge in mathematics. status in the world. At least if I were him, I would definitely do this. And what I need to do is to help him organize the information. As long as we cooperate well, he will understand that having a good assistant and an open academic environment are of great benefit to him. What a wonderful future it is.”

"Wait a minute, Dominic, did you just say you were willing to be his assistant?"

"Otherwise? Lawrence, God, it's a pity that you know nothing about mathematics. I don't know how to describe some of his achievements to you. Let's put it this way, I think even the Fields Medal that I might win is really He is not worthy of him. The mathematics community should set up a special award for him, which is awarded only once a century, and he is the only winner in this century."

The other person was silent for a longer time this time, probably because he couldn't figure out why a genius mathematics professor trained by Harvard became a standard "Ning Chui" after going to China. After all, before setting off, Dominic had a competitive spirit. The idea goes...

But what can be done?

Some people have to be coaxed.

"Okay, Dominic, but two years, two more years! Two years and you have to come back after that."

"Of course, Lawrence! Really, if it weren't for those mathematical theories that attracted me, I actually wouldn't want to stay here any longer. Okay, let's stop talking here."

After hanging up the phone, Dominic let out a sigh of relief.

Finally got it done.

After reaching an agreement with Ning Zi, he still didn't know how to talk to Lawrence Summers, and he had delayed making the call until now. Of course, this can't be entirely his fault. After all, Harvard has indeed invested a lot in this matter.

Now both sides have an explanation.

Good!

…

"God, is this the topic you are studying?"

In Ning Zi's new residence, Dominic was looking at the manuscript papers handed to him by the young mathematician he admired most, and exclaimed.

Because coincidentally, when he came to see Ning Zi that day, he originally planned to tell the man in front of him that he would spend the rest of his life challenging this proposition.

Although Dominic is only 26 years old now, it is not too much to spend the rest of his life solving this problem. Because for this problem, no one can guarantee that it can be overcome in just a few decades.

It's like Hilbert's 23 questions in 1900 still haven't been fully answered to this day. The smartest people in the world come together to figure out mathematical problems that are not necessarily solvable in a century.

Even older is Goldbach's conjecture.

Although all the numbers that people have found so far follow the description of Goldbach's conjecture without exception, this great conjecture has not been fully proven so far, but it is an indisputable fact.

"Yes, next I hope we can have some discussions on this issue. Maybe your ideas can inspire me."

Ning Zi said seriously.

It's not modest at all. Just like the fewer words in news, the bigger the problem. Mathematics problems tend to be more difficult the less they are described.

"Well, I did think about it. The idea was that if we could find at least n 10SAT random formulas that satisfy a satisfactory assignment it would take at least 2^n/10 steps... well, obviously that's not the case It’s an exciting answer, but if we can show that the natural system may reach its global minimum very quickly, the reality is that our expectations are often contrary to predictions. I look forward to proving that P≠NP through this idea.”

"If we correspond to the real world as an object of constant size, we cannot rule out being able to solve the world development process in real time through polynomials, and then solve the NP-complete problem. Because the NP-complete problem is hidden in the big O notation. Simply put , if I order the computer to execute the Relationship, there is no such contrast. So I have already thought of the breakthrough point."

"What's the breaking point?" Dominic asked subconsciously.

"Solution to the three-dimensional Sin-Yi model concept." Ning Jieyan answered concisely and concisely.

"You should go to Google. Ning, as far as I know, the Google laboratory has the most advanced quantum computer. I know that everything must be classified into quantum computing. To be honest, as far as my personal thoughts are concerned, I sincerely The hope is that P≠NP! Because if it can be proved that P=NP, then in the future computers will become like gods." Dominic shrugged.

Dominit's words reminded Ning Zi of March. After all, March had already shown god-like abilities. But if all gods have a personality like March, then the world probably can't bear that kind of excitement.

Subconsciously turning her head to look at the innocent cat face, Ning Zi simply reached out and took Sanyue into her arms, stroking the soft cat head and said, "Don't be so pessimistic, Dominic. Even if we can prove that P =NP, it is not necessarily possible to describe the algorithm that meets the requirements in detail. Even if there is such an algorithm, its polynomial complexity may be very high."

“In fact, I have an intuition that P=NP is probably correct, but the time complexity of its corresponding algorithm may not be lower than On’s 10th power, and the length of n cannot be controlled to a small size. Of course, this is just My gut.”

After saying this, both of them fell silent.

After all, mathematical intuition is really hard to explain and unreasonable.

For a mathematician, mathematical intuitions often turn into conjectures. Unfortunately, these conjectures cannot be resolved in a short time.

"But if such an algorithm really exists, maybe some kind of special computer will appear in the future. For example, if a quantum computer matures, the machine's computing power will become unprecedentedly powerful and it will still make everything simpler."

"This is probably why we have an old saying in China that simplicity leads to greatness."

I was chatted to death.

After all, once a scientific question involves philosophy, there is often no way to continue. It also means that one of the parties is not going to have a good chat.

"By the way, I called back this morning. We have already agreed with the school that this exchange activity will be extended for one year. Of course, if Professor Zheng feels that two years is too long, someone else can go there next year." Dominit said after sorting out the information Ning Zi gave him.

Ning Zi was slightly stunned.

How should I put it, having an extra sister actually had a huge impact on Ning Zi.

At least I feel softer deep inside.

It was as if I couldn't bear to see Dominette Duncan's relaxed look at this moment.

After all, this guy has been eaten to death in March. Let alone two years, he may not be able to go back even in twenty years.

The specific situation probably depends on when China will have the ability to design and manufacture normal temperature controllable nuclear fusion facilities. There must be at least a few fusion power stations before he can go back, right?

But this is not just about theoretical breakthroughs. Room-temperature superconducting materials also need to be developed and produced, which in turn requires several waves of industrial upgrades. Of course it might be a little faster, but that's something he can't control.

Because if we really want to start industrializing technology, the industrial chain involved is too huge and there are too many problems that need to be solved. We can only hope that March will be able to strongly integrate the entire upstream and downstream industry chain by then.

With this thought in mind, Ning Zi still asked: "Dominite, are you still used to staying in China?"

Dominic shrugged and said: "It's not bad, but what surprises me is that there is no General Tso's Chicken in the Chinese canteens and restaurants? I always thought this was a must-order dish for Chinese people."

Ning Zi asked again: "Then do you have any friends or family members that you miss particularly?"

Dominit looked at Ning Zi suspiciously, shook his head slightly and said: "Of course, occasionally I miss my parents. But you know, they are very open-minded, whether I go to Western Europe or the United States, including now When I came to China, they all supported me. Their concept is that children should pursue the life they want. Of course, it may also be because I have two older brothers. As for friends, I actually don’t have many friends at Harvard. I have relationships with many mathematicians. Yes, there was academic cooperation, but we can’t be called friends. In fact, I’m not very good at making friends.”

Ning Zi nodded and continued to ask: "So you don't have a girlfriend yet?"

Dominit shook his head and said: "Of course not. For me, love is a zero-sum game or even a negative-sum game. At least I don't want to waste energy on such boring things before I am thirty. And I don't I plan to have a child. Do you know how many kinds of genetic diseases there are in the world? More than 3,000 kinds. The probability of a newborn suffering from a genetic disease fluctuates between 3% and 10%. This probability makes me feel that having a child is like a gamble. . And it is a gamble that no one has a chance of winning. And I have believed since I was a child that if there is no guarantee of winning in a gamble, then the best way is not to play."

Ning Zi was noncommittal about this answer, but he felt the same way about the issue of randomness in children's attributes. After all, he still can't accept the fact that his sister only scored 22 points in the final exam of mathematics in the first year of junior high school, and the tutor thinks that she has no talent in mathematics.

After all, when March didn't appear, mathematics had always been his strong point. Throughout high school, he may have occasionally failed in other subjects, including his math score in the college entrance examination, which he never scored lower than 140, not even once. Very stable first place in grade.

"By the way, why are you paying attention to my personal life today? You don't look like that boring person." Dominette Duncan asked suspiciously.

Ning Zi touched the kitten's head and sighed in her heart: "No, I just suddenly felt that you might be a trustworthy partner. If you can be more stable, maybe we can make P=NP together? The problem is solved.”

Dominic's eyes lit up and he asked, "What do you mean by more stable?"

Ning Jie glanced at Dominit and said, "Are you interested?"

"certainly!"

Dominit shrugged and said: "Think about it, Euler, Lagrange and Fourier, master and apprentice, have contributed nearly half of the content of advanced mathematics. If the two of us can really solve this problem, And if we find the hidden polynomial, maybe we can expand advanced mathematics by at least one-half." Ning Zi replied: "Then you may have to stay in China for a longer time."

Dominit was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No, if I speak, Principal Summers will probably go crazy."

"Oh, that's really a pity." Ning Zi sighed without much emotion.

Dominit immediately retorted: "But I don't understand, Ning, why do I have to be in China? Nowadays, communications are very developed. If there are any problems, we can contact each other through email. Or video or phone calls, yes, I Admit the time difference, but we have at least four to five hours a day where we can discuss issues.”

Ning Zi shook her head slightly and said, "No, Dominit, I'm not used to that kind of communication. I prefer face-to-face communication like this."

Dominic couldn't help but ask: "Why?"

Ning Zi looked at Dominit and asked, "Do I still need to say this?"

The person opposite was a smart man, and Ning Zi believed that Dominic could help him find the right reason.

Sure enough, facing Ning Jie's clear gaze, Dominit quickly reacted, slapped her thigh hard and said: "Damn Prism Plan! Okay, Ning, I probably understand. You don't trust the Internet and the phone. These modern ways of communicating because there's a fear that what we're talking about will get out. I understand, and that's a really sad thing."

Ning Jie remained silent, but this was obviously the default attitude in Dominic Duncan's opinion.

The atmosphere became somber. Yes, Dominic suddenly felt very worried, and suddenly thought of what he promised Summers, and asked tentatively: "But maybe we can go to Harvard together to do research on this topic? Think about it, maybe a change of environment can help More inspiration from you?”

Ning Zi shook his head slightly. This time he had his own reasons. He stroked the kitten and said softly: "No, Dominic, I don't want to go to those well-known universities. Otherwise, I would have chosen Yanbei University." Or Huaqing University. Harvard is too famous for me."

Dominit was speechless again. He also watched Ning Zi's speech, and he probably knew what this guy was thinking.

While watching those videos, he had a moment of excitement. He even felt that Ning Zi was the same type of person as him. They were both so proud. No, it should be said that Ning Zi was more proud than him. After all, Ning Zi was not even willing to use the school's reputation to achieve success.

Dominic felt that he did not have this ability.

If he had gone to an American community college, he would have never dared to think that he could single-handedly bring a community college to the level of a well-known university.

Looking at Dominit's tangled expression, Ning Zi felt that the goal had been achieved for the time being, and said: "Okay, that's it for today. I hope my ideas can be helpful to you. I also hope you can solve the problem as soon as possible. These ideas are sorted out.”

"Of course. Goodbye then."

"See you."

…

Shencheng, the headquarters of Youwei Group.

While Ning Zi was discussing issues about the future with Dominit, Ge Dongshu, who rushed back to Youwei Group with the agreement, was organizing an internal meeting.

The main issue is to resolve disputes between various departments regarding the use of Ningji's intelligent voice system in new products.

Everything else is fine.

Including hiring people to record various sounds to make the feedback voice on the mobile phone richer, these are all problems that can be solved overtime.

However, some non-technical issues have brought a lot of controversy. For example, the most controversial one is whether the dangerous scene recognition and alarm function of this voice assistant should be used directly.

"Everyone, of course I know that dangerous scene recognition is a very useful function, and it can even be said to be a really life-saving function. But I still have reservations. Because everyone has tested it, if this function can be used at this stage Integrating it into products may bring legal and moral risks.”

"First of all, we all know that many customers are early adopters. After purchasing a product, they are very likely to test this technology. This will undoubtedly put great pressure on the local alarm system. Especially in terms of publicity and legislation Rushing to launch this technology without all aspects being in place will cause a lot of trouble for the company.”

"Although after testing, the false alarm rate of this technology is indeed very low. But if the product is actively misled by customers, the number of misjudgments and alarms will increase significantly. At this time, the problem arises. If because of this situation, If precious resources such as police and first aid are lost, does the company have to bear the responsibility? Especially when this situation occurs and causes serious consequences, the company will fall into very troublesome legal disputes."

"Let me give you a simple and extreme example. For example, there was an emergency accident in a county on this day. The 120 ambulance was originally in an extremely busy situation. At this moment, there happened to be only one ambulance on standby. At this time, our mobile phones were The customer behaved badly and dialed 120 emergency number. After 120 dispatched the car, another patient whose life was really in danger was found to be in a situation without car rescue after his family called 120. In the end, the disease that could have been rescued was lost due to the ten-minute delay. Delaying the onset of illness and death, who do you think should be held responsible for this?"

"Of course, this situation is extreme, but if you encounter such a case, how to deal with it? Not to mention if a customer causes a surge in false police calls such as 110 and 119 in some areas in order to test our technology, who will be responsible? Take responsibility?"

The first person to speak at the meeting was the representative of the company’s global legal department, legal consultant Guo Xun.

Obviously, the new technology is not very promising after being evaluated by the legal department.

From the perspective of the Technology Department, technology is definitely not guilty. But this is obviously not the case in the eyes of legal officials around the world.

"Secondly, the self-service call function of smart assistants may be illegal in many states in the United States. Many states have regulations that use robots or artificial intelligence to talk to and record people without the other party's knowledge may be suspected of fraud. Of course, , according to the technical department, this can be avoided by turning on the positioning device. Because this technology can adapt to local laws. But everyone, you have to know that not every one of our users is willing to share their location all the time. It’s for the phone.”

"You can't require all customers to be perfect users. Instead, you have to help them think everything through in advance. So I think for the sake of insurance, all products sold in Europe and the United States must actively cut off these functions. Otherwise, it is very likely that Cause trouble for the company, big trouble. Even a class action lawsuit. Yes, this technology is very advanced, in fact, I personally like it, but sometimes advanced is really not the best. The above is the opinion of our legal department .”

The opinion given by the legal officer caused silence in the conference room.

Naturally, the technical department is extremely unwilling to do so.

The most advanced technology is limited by so-called legal trouble and can only perform active castration, which is obviously not good news.

But I have to admit that what Guo Xun said makes sense.

This is also a problem that every company has to face. There is no way to require users to be perfect, especially for smartphones. When a function is launched, it is obviously a very good, practical and even life-saving function, but it is It may be caused by some people whose brains are filled with wonderful imaginations, causing trouble to the whole society.

Who can I talk to to explain this?

After the engineers in the technical department started to fall silent, they began to discuss quietly. Soon, one of the engineers began to speak: "So, can we adopt a compromise solution? For example, we can increase the alarm threshold, or raise the alarm When asking the assistant to directly explain the situation? That means that first of all, there will be more stringent judgment standards when judging whether the user is in danger. When the alarm is made, the other party will be informed that this is an automatic alarm by the mobile phone's smart system, and then it will be left to the other party to judge whether to issue an alarm. "

Guo Xun sneered and said: "This idea seems to be a good one. But I think the after-sales department will be the first to jump out and curse. First, if users are informed of this dangerous alarm technology during publicity, but in reality During the use, because the standards were raised, the police were not called when the police should have been called, and eventually a casualty occurred. Needless to say, you should have thought about how you would be scolded by customers, right?"

"As for the second idea, of course it is possible. It is a transfer of contradiction. But everyone, think about it, this is a technology that requires the cooperation of others to achieve maximum benefits. You leave the problem to 110, 120 and 119, you Do you think they will boycott this technology? If something happens, more people will demand that this function be banned directly. Wouldn’t it save everyone trouble?"

The engineer who couldn't compete with the legal staff couldn't help it and said angrily: "So this function that can save people can only be castrated? Isn't this unfair to the people who really need this function? This technology is really It can save lives!"

Guo Xun spread his hands and said: "Don't be angry with me. Of course I know the significance of this technology, but my job is to consider the worst case scenario and inform you. I don't mean to give up this feature permanently. The opinion of the legal department is that we should wait until the technology becomes more mature, or you can find a perfect solution to deal with the questions I raised, before opening this function to users."

"Maybe this generation of products won't work, but by the time the next generation of products is released, maybe you will have solved these problems? We are only responsible for raising problems, and your task is to be responsible for solving these problems. This is a responsible attitude towards all users. Some technologies and functions are too advanced for this era, which is not a good thing.”

"Everyone, you have to think about it, how many units of M10 do you hope to sell? If you only plan to sell one million units, these problems are not a problem. According to the false alarm probability you gave, one million units The scale is spread all over the world, and the negative impact is almost negligible. But what if there are tens of millions of units, or even hundreds of millions of units?"

Ge Dongshu, who had been silently listening to the argument between the two sides, raised his hand, and the two sides finally stopped arguing.

From Ge Dongshu's point of view, of course he hopes that the latest M10 can be equipped with this function, and even more than the M10, it is best for some promising wearable smart products to be equipped with the functions of this smart assistant.

However, the professional advice provided by the legal department does need to be resolved.

Fortunately, for Youwei Group, this product and the related technologies involved are originally used as strategic technology reserves, so there is indeed no need to rush.

"Well, there is no point in us continuing to argue about these internally. My idea is this, the M10 launch can be postponed for half a month. The technical department will first complete the adjustment of the voice function, including recording appropriate voice packets."

Having said this, Ge Dongshu pondered for a moment and then continued: "Regarding the opinions put forward by the legal department, the technical department will consider how to reduce false alarms as much as possible from a technical level. On the other hand, we can invite people in various fields to The professionals working on the front line of the alarm call are here to give us some guidance. Maybe they can give us more effective opinions. Let’s end the meeting here today. The meeting is dismissed.”

…

"Mr. Ge, if we really follow what the legal department said, our voice assistant function on the M10 can only retain the function of daily conversations with users. In such a short time, even if we try our best, we can't let the phone's The identification ability has been qualitatively improved. In fact, it is difficult to solve this identification problem with mobile phones alone. If we want to be as perfect as the legal department said, it is no longer what the software can achieve. More hardware cooperation is needed."

After the meeting, Liao Zhengqiang, the chief engineer of the development line of Youwei Group, stayed until the end and took the initiative to talk to Ge Dongshu about this issue.

"Oh, Mr. Liao, do you have any ideas?"

"Well, I do have some thoughts. The concerns of the legal department are reasonable, although under the current circumstances, we cannot distinguish whether the user is actually in danger in complex scenarios and activate this danger warning function, such as sudden Disease, or being held hostage, etc. But in some simpler environments, I think this technology can still be of great use. For example, car accident warning. By giving the software more permissions, including sensing, noise collection, Movement status analysis, etc., can help the car owner dial the emergency contact and the police phone number for assistance as soon as possible when the vehicle is involved in a car accident."

Ge Dongshu's eyes lit up. Although it was impossible to bring the full functionality of Ningji's software product online, after such changes, it was still a huge highlight. After all, none of the products from any rival companies have relevant functions.

And how can I put it, if the smart voice assistant really has one more recognition semantics and is more accurate, it can even allow users to chat a few words. In the industry, it may also shock many people in the industry who specialize in semantic recognition, but at the user level, the functions are somewhat weak.

Such modified skills can not only temporarily avoid legal risks, but also pave the way for future danger alarm function upgrades. It is indeed a good choice at the moment. So he immediately nodded in agreement and said: "Liao Gong, I think this idea is feasible. The first generation of products can be based on the idea you mentioned. Your technical department should quickly implement this function."

However, Liao Zhengqiang showed an embarrassed look and hesitated for two seconds before saying: "I think so too, but Mr. Ge, it doesn't mean that we can change it now that we have obtained this thing and applied for a patent. It's just that It is of course easy to block certain functions, but if you want to change it, this time is not enough. Even if the conference is postponed for half a month, there will only be one and a half months left after the full calculation. The code needs to be modified and tested... ...It’s not enough to risk your life without rest for 24 hours.”

Ge Dongshu looked at Liao Zhengqiang and asked: "Liao Gong, if you have something to say, speak directly. What do you mean?"

Liao Zhengqiang sighed and said: "So we need help from others. After all, this software was not written by us, and it takes time to understand it. But the developer of the software is different, right? If you can directly invite the developer If we come to take charge of this work and our colleagues from the hardware design department assist, we can definitely get twice the result with half the effort. One and a half months, I think, is definitely enough."

Ge Dongshu touched his chin, Ning Zi's handsome and unsmiling face appeared in his mind, and he felt a little headache.

Although Ning Zi had begged him, in Ge Dongshu's opinion, this young genius was not so easy to deal with. Of course, it was normal for a genius to have a bad personality. He didn't really care about this, he just wanted Ning Zi to come to him in person. To provide guidance, he found it impossible.

The main reason is that Youwei Group seems to be unable to come up with anything that can make Ning Zi excited.

For example, giving money directly will definitely not work.

You know, if Ning Zi is willing, he can get at least hundreds of millions of dollars just by selling this technology directly to Youwei Group. But instead of asking for money, they asked Youwei Group to help build a second-level college for the University.

So after hesitating for a moment, Ge Dongshu asked: "What if it's remote guidance? It should be possible, right?"

This is at least a relatively feasible solution. Ge Dongshu felt that based on the friendship between the two, this busy Ning Zi would not refuse.

However, Liao Zhengqiang smiled bitterly and said: "Mr. Ge, remote guidance sounds good, but you have to be online all the time. And technical problems may arise at any time, so you can't bother others in the middle of the night, right? We will be very anxious by then. If you can't find anyone over there, it's just a waste of time."

Ge Dongshu was speechless.

There was no way, he knew that the development side was busy with work.

Especially in this situation, when he needed to rush to work, he really didn't have the confidence to ask Ning Zi to be on call.

"Okay, I'll ask him what he means first, but I don't dare to vouch for this. You guys should do your own thing first. If it doesn't work, just follow what the legal department says. Hey..." After struggling, Ge Dong Shu said with a sigh.

Liao Zhengqiang nodded. Naturally, he understood Ning Ju's situation. After all, it was not a secret that Youwei Group assisted in building the School of Computer Science for the University. For a young man who didn't like money, he also knew that Ge Dongshu would also be able to do it in a short time. There can't be a good way.

"Okay, anyway, try your best to see if you can invite him. If that doesn't work, you can provide remote guidance. Even if you can fix one to two hours a day, you can at least improve your efficiency. Maybe you can catch up. Woolen cloth?"

Ge Dongshu raised his hand and patted Liao Zhengqiang's shoulder and said, "Okay, I understand. Thank you, Mr. Liao. If you have free time tomorrow, let's have dinner together."

"I'm not free tomorrow, but I made a note. After the M10 is released, you can invite our department to have dinner together to help me save the celebration dinner."

"Haha, okay!" Ge Dongshu responded happily.

…

Back in the office, Ge Dongshu looked at the time. It was already seven o'clock in the evening. He sat on his chair and calmed down. After thinking about how to make the request without being abrupt, he took out his phone and called Ning Zi.

Fortunately, the person on the other side answered the call politely.

After exchanging pleasantries, Ge Dongshu explained the opinions put forward by the company's legal department and the opinions put forward by Liao Zhengqiang at the meeting just as concisely as possible, and then enthusiastically extended an invitation to Ning Zi: "Ning Zi, you see. Wouldn’t it be great if I could waste some of your time and come to Youwei Group as a guest, and by the way, give guidance to our front-line software development engineers?”

"Going to Shencheng is definitely not possible, but remote problem solving solutions are possible. In this way, I will send you a software. You can use this software to send me the problems you encounter at any time, 24 hours a day. After I saw it here I will give you advice.”

"That's... okay. Well, in that case, I'll give your contact information to our Chief Engineer Liao and let him contact you directly. Do you think that's okay?"

"Okay, let him send me an email, but please include his name and identity in the notes so that you won't miss it."

"Okay, no problem! Thank you so much, Ning Zi!"

"It's okay, just pay more attention to the construction of the Computer School!"

"Don't worry, we have already begun preparations for the construction of a large computing center and are conducting internal bidding."

"Oh, don't worry. It won't be a big problem to achieve the functions you requested within a month."

"ah?!"
