Hammer of Technology

And Ning Wei performed at a super level today. Although his acting skills are in the same line as Xiao Xianrou's, he can't help that today's mood matches the event to be acted too much, and it is true that he only needs to act in his true colors.Ning Wei is very firm in this part. As long as he plays himself, he can actually be very successful. For example, this time, he really whetted the appetite of everyone present.

Well, now everyone knows that success is related to the scale of 65 nanometers. It seems to be secretive, but it is actually an official announcement.

After all, there are not many studies that can use this scale, and everyone knows that it is better to study mathematics, artificial intelligence and chips.Of course, it doesn't have to be the chip manufacturing process, it may also be the material, but no matter what, the smile on Ning Wei's face actually cast a shadow on the hearts of many big shots.

Fortunately, joy and peace are still the main theme of this meeting.

No matter how much speculation and suspicion there is in the heart, this kind of occasion is not a good time to talk deeply.Fortunately, I have come here, so it is impossible to leave immediately, and the truth of all problems will eventually be revealed.

……

At [-] o'clock in the evening, the Centennial Lecture Hall of Yanbei University has already begun to become lively.

For many Chinese people, this is indeed a grand event. After all, it is the first time that a world-class science award ceremony is held in China, especially in a professional field like the Wolf Prize. Awarded the Fields Medal.

Just for this first time in history, it is enough to make people yearn for it.

Especially when it was revealed on the Internet that the big bosses of world-renowned companies such as Intel and Apple have come, the invitations for this awards ceremony have even become hard to find.

Some people even offered 200 million yuan for an invitation coupon on the Internet, which is actually not expensive. After all, from the perspective of many people's business logic, if you can post a few selfies on this occasion, you can find the angle to follow. It is worth the fare to take a framed photo with the bigwigs at the scene. If you still have the opportunity to take a photo with these bigwigs alone, then it is worth doubling the money.

After all, many people believe in this. Gaining the trust of customers is an extremely important part of the modern business model. Celebrity has always been the best choice for gaining trust.

It's just that this kind of transaction is not feasible after all, and those who restrict this kind of offline transaction are those who don't have an invitation letter and have no interest in money at all.Of course, this is true for most of them, but after all, it is still impossible to carry out this kind of transaction by relying on advanced technical means.

All the invitation letters are bound with personal identity information before sending out, and this work is completed by Jitu Security and Huaxia Frontier Intelligence Research Center, and the read database guarantees that there will be no mistakes or omissions.Of course, with the attitude that he would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go, even if he had doubts, he was stopped early at the gate of Yanbei University.

By 06:30, the guests in the Centennial Lecture Hall had already taken their seats.Except for some vacant seats at the front, the round table in the back row was already full of guests who came to watch the ceremony.

The relatives and friends invited by Ning Wei filled three tables in the front row.

Winners in other fields do not have this treatment.Of course, it's not all because of insufficient platooning, after all, this is not their home field.

Lao Ning was already grinning from ear to ear. After all, it was the first time he had experienced such an occasion. As Ning Wei's father, he was surrounded by those professors and entered the venue just now. This is probably the pinnacle of his life, right?

Mama Ning sat aside and kept smiling.Naturally, she was extremely proud in her heart, and the liveliness of the scene exceeded her expectations. The most important thing was to see his son wearing a serious Chinese tunic suit, sitting next to her to share this honor with her.

Really, no one needs the approval of others. As a mother, it is enough to watch her son go on stage and win awards.If she had to talk about expectations, she hoped that Ning Wei could live a more relaxed life after winning the award. From the mother's point of view, Ning Wei's life is really too busy.

Classmate Jiang sat in her seat a little cautiously, looking at her too much and whispering, which made her feel a little flustered, but fortunately her left hand was tightly held by Ning Ma, and the support from her elders, how much It can make her feel more relaxed and accept the scrutiny of countless people.Jiang Chenshuang actually felt that she was not suitable for this kind of occasion, but it seems that there will be many such occasions in the future...

As for Ning Wei's roommates...

Luo Xiang was busy whispering to Jiajia, probably introducing those big shots that he couldn’t see usually, Mr. Xu took Xu Mo to take a group photo with the big shots, just as Ning Wei said, when the big shots look When Mr. Xu invited Ning Wei to take a group photo from the table where Ning Wei was sitting, he was extremely friendly and readily satisfied the request of the pretender.

Really, if pretending to be coercive is included in the criminal law, Mr. Xu will at least have to be sentenced to life...

As for Liu Cong, before the party officially started, he went to the two tables next to Professor Jiang University to make friends, which was also explained by Ning Wei.

After all, they are professors from their alma mater, so they should be treated differently.And Liu Cong is the best way to come forward. After all, he is still working in Jiang University, and he can usually see these professors, and he has a good relationship. If there is anything he needs to help, it is easier to talk.

Ning Wei looked at all this and was very satisfied...

The plays that should be performed are all over, and it's time to enjoy the glory. Although he doesn't care about winning awards, it doesn't matter if there are more things that make everyone around him happy...

Who made him pure in nature!

286 Acceptance Speech: You Don’t Understand My Despair (Ask for a Monthly Ticket on the Last Day of October!)

On February 2th, Saturday, China time, at 25:2022 pm, the [-] Wolf Award ceremony was successfully held in the Centennial Auditorium of Yanbei University in the capital of China.

Dan Shechtman, chairman of the Wolf Foundation, walked to the rostrum of the award ceremony on time at the hour.

"I'm very glad to see everyone in China. As we all know, this is the first time that the Wolf Award ceremony is held outside Israel. The reason is actually very simple. As an international award, we hope to embrace the whole world. So I want to It is here to announce a decision of the Wolf Foundation. In the future, the Wolf Award Ceremony will be held in the representative city of the country where one of the winners is selected, so it may be China, the United States, Europe, or even Possibly Oceania, anyway, anything is possible."

Dan Shechtman smiled and said this, in exchange for bursts of applause.It must be admitted that this is a very innovative development.

It is definitely a great recognition for the winners of that year that the award ceremony is held in the country where the winners are located.At the same time, each year the Wolf Prize will select winners who have made outstanding contributions to the world in nine fields: medicine, agriculture, mathematics, chemistry, physics, painting, sculpture, music, and architecture. There are winners, but apparently there is never just one winner.

So the country where the winner is held is probably the winner who has made the greatest contribution to the world that year.It can also be understood that the final selection represents a Wolf Prize.

Obviously, the first person in history to win Wolff's final award is Ning Wei.After all, he is the only one of this year's winners who is from China.

Really, many people at the scene even thought that the Nobel Prize should be played in this way. There are so many Nobel Prize winners every year, and it will definitely be fun to choose the one who has made the most contribution from among them.Maybe many people will never win the Nobel Prize in their lifetime, but it must be very interesting to watch the bigwigs of the Nobel Prize compete for the number one in the world.

And in this way, in addition to looking forward to the Nobel Prizes in various fields every year, there is one more expectation - how shameless the jury members can be, for example, dare to put the award ceremony in the place where the Nobel Peace Prize winners are? hosted by the country.

Soon the applause stopped, and Dan Shechtman first announced last year's two major cultural awards for sculpture and architecture.

The two winners are both Europeans. After taking the stage, they gave a brief speech, and then the music sounded. The two winners received the award certificates and representative medals from the dean of Yanbei University School of Art invited by the organizing committee. .

The atmosphere at the scene was warm. Of course, as long as there were enough people, the atmosphere would not be too cold.

After the literary awards were awarded, there was another movement on the rostrum. With the launch of a piano, the Huaxia Symphony Orchestra appeared at the awards ceremony.He took the lead in performing excerpts from the large-scale musical "Mulan Psalms". The 10-minute performance pushed the atmosphere of the entire awards ceremony to a climax.

After the performance, the orchestra did not leave the venue, and then the Wolf Foundation invited a former Wolf Prize winner to the stage to announce last year’s Chemistry Prize winner——Professor Hunter from Berkeley with his research and published The precision synthesis technology won the Wolf Prize in Chemistry 2022.

The Wolf Foundation specially invited the winners of the Chemistry Prize ten years ago to present the prize, which is also quite meaningful and represents the transmission of science.Although this Professor Hunter is also in his 50s, compared with the 72-year-old old scientist, he is also an age younger.

The applause also became more enthusiastic.

In fact, regardless of whether it is the Wolf Prize or the Nobel Prize, awards in science and technology are often more convincing than awards in literature and art.After all, as far as literary and artistic works are concerned, everyone's aesthetics are different, and it is easy to get started, you can read books if you can read, and you can see paintings with eyes, so even if it is everyone's work, it is impossible to satisfy everyone's appetite. even be criticized.

This is probably why some writers of the Nobel Prize for Literature seem to have extremely high calls for awards every year, but they have never had the chance to win such top awards all their lives. Shady theory.

But natural science and technical awards are different, at least it is difficult to get started.Especially in modern times, when various disciplines are subdivided, ordinary people can't figure out what these scientists are researching and what kind of success they have achieved even just by reading the award introduction.And even if such awards are really shady, at least it is impossible to actually award them to scientists who have no effect on science, and there are somewhat convincing reasons for awarding them.

Not to mention that many people at this award ceremony came for Ning Wei, such as students from the School of Mathematics of Yanbei University.If you expect these people to be interested in literature and art, you will definitely be disappointed.Relatively speaking, the study of chemistry is to their appetite.After all, chemistry is also a related subject based on mathematics.

Professor Hunter stepped onto the rostrum and began to deliver his acceptance speech.The testimonials were quite satisfactory, there was nothing to say, and he thanked almost everyone he could think of to thank.Even his assistant.Of course, the professor's words are actually very funny, at least after talking eloquently for ten minutes, it won't make people feel bored.

Then it was time for the band to perform.

This time, the Huaxia Symphony Orchestra played the theme song of an old TV series "Yun Gong Xun Yin", which once occupied the summer vacation for several years. Memories and the surging sound of music once again pushed the atmosphere to another climax.

When the performance was finished, Dan Shechtman, chairman of the Wolf Foundation, also stepped onto the rostrum again.

"Since the concept of artificial intelligence was proposed, for decades, countless scientists have been extremely obsessed with this technology. They have devoted their lives to studying the laws of it, and hope to make machines produce intelligence similar to human beings. But not Fortunately, this direction is so difficult that many people even think that this research is the domain of God, which cannot be touched by mortals."

"So although we have a goal, we have been searching in this direction like in the wild age. We have developed neural network technology, and researched algorithms such as simulated annealing algorithm, particle swarm optimization algorithm, genetic algorithm, and ant colony optimization algorithm. , etc., trying to imitate nature to give machines and networks a certain level of rudimentary intelligence.”

"At this stage, IBM once launched Deep Blue, which defeated the strongest human chess player at that time; then Google launched AlphaGo, becoming the strongest player in the field of Go. This once made people full of real artificial intelligence technology. Hope and confidence, but the final result is not satisfactory. Because whether it is Deep Blue or AlphaGo, the learning and thinking abilities of machines are actually far from the artificial intelligence we hope for.”

"Until a Chinese mathematician appeared. He started by constructing a mathematical theory, based on the most basic isomorphism in mathematics, and established a set of basic mathematical theories to guide the development of artificial intelligence. He interpreted the The perception relationship between the information system and the external physical system, and personally endowing the cold machine with a certain perception program, also makes the real strong artificial intelligence possible or even a reality.”

"His achievements don't stop there. His research on the millennium problem - the Navier-Stokes equation directly pushed this mathematical problem that has plagued the world for a hundred years to a place within our reach. The mathematical tools he proposed in this direction have been widely used by other mathematicians in their continued research on this equation. He even used an incredible method in the same year to solve the equation proposed by Fields Medal winner Jean Bourgain The high-dimensional geometry problem proposed by the professor has also troubled the mathematics community for decades - the KLS conjecture..."

When Dan Shechtman said this, the audience has already started to applaud.

No way, these achievements are indeed too eye-catching, listed one by one on this occasion, it is easy to mobilize everyone's emotions.

Really, even though the chairman on the stage did not use that kind of cadence, when these achievements are summed up one by one, they unconsciously want to be worshipped, especially in today's mathematicians who have so many mathematicians. occasion.

Not to mention that these achievements were made by a young man less than 25 years old.It's hard to imagine that at the peak of human intelligence, when he was about 30 years old, what else this guy could accomplish.

……

The applause from the audience interrupted Dan Shechtman's speech, and also made the chairman of the foundation smile. He waited patiently for the wave of applause to pass, and then said humorously: "Okay, I You know, everyone thinks I am long-winded, but you should know that it is not my fault, you should blame this award winner. He has achieved so much, so I have to say a little longer, because even though I have said so much, There’s a lot that’s been missed.”

"Of course, the more important thing is that I have to respect the achievements of the secretary's labor. He has consulted a lot of information in order to prepare this speech. So, you have to listen to it. Okay?"

There was a burst of laughter from the audience, and Ning Wei carefully squeezed the little hand of classmate Jiang next to him. Although Ning Wei didn't really care about the award when he didn't win the award, but at this moment, he was still a little nervous .

After all, people have blown him to such an extent, how to express his acceptance speech gracefully is an extremely challenging thing.Especially since there are many big names in the industry at the scene, so he has to be more confident.

Not to mention that these awards ceremonies are now live-streamed, and the capital world will not let go of any opportunity to make money. Since they have chosen to go to China to hold this awards ceremony, they will naturally not be able to make a fortune on the live broadcast. miss.

This also made Ning Wei feel more pressure...

So he seriously complained to the girl next to him: "The chairman on the stage called me so awesome, and I am really good at myself, and I'm pretty handsome. She looks very graceful, what if thousands of girls are fascinated by this video... So on such an important day, let's go to the villa next door instead of going home after eating supper with friends How are you staying?"

Jiang Chenshuang was stunned.

She never imagined that at this moment of great attention, the man next to him was about to go on stage to win an award that would make countless mathematicians all over the world envious, but what she was thinking about was...

He couldn't help blushing subconsciously, and lowered his head, and this scene was also noticed by the sensitive on-site cameraman, who took a complete picture of this scene.In fact, when Dan Shechtman's speech was interrupted by applause, the main camera itself was already aimed at Ning Wei in the audience. After all, everyone knew who the applause was for.

Of course, from the audience's perspective, Ning Wei suddenly put her head next to Jiang's ear, said something, and then the girl lowered her head shyly...

At this moment, the question "What did Ningwei say?" has been swiped on the bullet screen of the live broadcast media. This action of Ningwei at the critical moment has indeed aroused the curiosity of countless people.

God knows how many people hope to interview classmate Jiang after today, and they just want to ask what Ning Wei said to her at the Wolf Award ceremony just before she was about to take the stage to give her speech. Rich people are willing to pay a lot of money to get an answer.It's a pity that no one can answer this question, even Ning Wei's parents who were at the same table at the time didn't know.

But with Jiang's temperament, it is absolutely impossible to say it.As for Ning Wei, it is naturally impossible to sell himself for a little money.Someone even hired a lip-language expert to try to interpret it. Unfortunately, Ning Wei was blocked by Jiang's profile most of the time when he was speaking, and he couldn't recover at all.So this video directly contributed an unsolved mystery to the world...

Fortunately, the secretary's speeches for Dan Shechtman are really running out...

"...In addition, this young mathematician also proved to the world how correct his theory is, and in a unique way, told the world that the imagination of those masters can be realized! Many People say that the Wolf Prize is a lifetime achievement award, so is it appropriate to give it to a young mathematician who is just in his early twenties this year?"

"So today I can give this answer. I trust the judgment of the judging committee, and I believe that these achievements are worthy of the title of the Wolf Prize in Mathematics. A worldwide award has always been complementary to the glory of the winners. Our original intention It will not change! Now please welcome the young mathematician from Huaxia, the genius doctor of mathematics from Yanbei University——Ning Wei!"

The applause from the audience surged like thunder, and Ning Wei stood up amidst the deafening applause, tugged at the hem of his clothes to make his Chinese tunic suit look more tidy, and then walked up the stairs with steady steps. The rostrum, and then received the medal presented by Dan Shechtman himself.

"Congratulations, Dr. Ning Wei!" Dan Shechtman said as he handed over the medal in his hand.

"Thank you, Mr. Shechtman, your speech just now was wonderful." Ning Wei praised.

This sentence made Dan Shechtman lose his mind for a moment, so is this a compliment, a boast, or a sarcasm?

The speeches were indeed carefully prepared.After all, the controversy over the winner of the Mathematics Prize has not yet completely subsided. For the credibility of the Wolf Prize, he has to speak more beautifully. Whitewashing the peace has always been the only way to cover up mistakes.

But at this moment, Dan Shechtman understood that he could not argue with Ning Wei, so he smiled wryly and made a gesture of please, then returned to the stage and handed over the complete stage to Ning Wei.

……

The applause stopped, and Ning Wei also stood in front of the microphone.

"Cough cough..."

Before speaking, Ning Wei cleared his throat, and finally said: "Thank you very much for Mr. Shechtman's compliment to me just now. Really, if it wasn't for Mr. Chairman's reminder, I would have almost forgotten that I have done so much. It worked!"

Really, it's hard to imagine that the first sentence of a world-class grand prize winner can cool down the lively scene.It even caused the barrage of watching the awards ceremony through online videos to become dense again...

It's just such a simple sentence, people can't tell whether it's being modest or pretending...

Fortunately, Ning Wei quickly continued: "I don't mean to brag, because I am really busy at ordinary times, and I don't have much time to reflect on what achievements I have made. This is actually quite good. Many times, I just forget Only the achievements made can be carried out lightly and challenge more unknown areas."

The applause sounded again at this moment, and with this sentence, the intention was instantly improved.Of course, it may also make people uncomfortable. After all, it seems to be mocking some scholars who are lying on their credit books. Of course, Ningwei never cares about these voices.

"But after all, I am very happy to receive this award. Here I would like to thank many people, such as the professors who used to be at Jiangnan University. You have laid the foundation for me and pointed out the way for me. I also want to thank my current mentors. Professor Tian, ​​you also broke your heart for me; of course, I would like to thank my parents who gave me life, as well as my lover, you gave me everything I need spiritually, and my senior brother, and for my safety. Dear Brother Liu, wait, wait..."

"There are too many people to thank, so I won't say more in view of the time. In fact, my supervisor, Professor Tian, ​​once commented on me. He said that he doubted whether I didn't agree with the identity of a mathematician, otherwise, why would I never be a mathematician?" I don't have the heart to go on the road of mathematics, but I always study some messy things. Here I want to defend myself. In fact, I have always studied mathematics with an attitude of reverence, because mathematics is the foundation of many scientific research fields. .”

"It's just that my original intention of studying mathematics may not be the same as that of some pure mathematicians. When I see the hope of solving some practical problems through mathematical tools, my attention will indeed be attracted, and then I will try to use the guidance of mathematics to solve problems. Do something that can directly change the world, not just stop at theoretical research. It's like March..., oh, by the way, speaking of March, can I invite it to come out and witness this important moment together? "

Ning Wei asked...

Then the answers I got were naturally uniform...

So the curtain on the rostrum was slowly opened, and the giant screen that had been prepared was revealed, and then the figure of March appeared in front of everyone in a public place again.

March in the video seems to know that today is an extremely important day for Ning Wei. This little kitten, who has always shown her mischievous image, is squatting upright today, with an extra bow tie around her neck. It is more serious than the last press conference, and even has a more serious taste...

There was another commotion in the audience, after all, this kitten has shocked too many people.

As for the webcast video, at the moment when March appeared, if you didn’t turn off the barrage, the dense sound had completely blocked the entire video, making it impossible to watch...

Many people even began to swipe the screen directly: "Congratulations, Mr. March!"

This shows the popularity of March...

……

"Okay, this is complete! I have to say that Sanyue is a very competent assistant. Since its birth, it has also made me go farther and farther on the road away from mathematics. Because after having it, some very troubled me Problems can often be solved easily. In this way, I study mathematics, and I also study everything that mathematics can affect. This road is very smooth for me, and I am very happy at the same time!"

"Of course there will be times of distress. For example, March always likes to use some of the theories I have studied to cooperate with the data it has obtained to do some large-scale calculations, and generate countless mathematical models in the database. Every time I see these mathematical models, it makes me feel sad. I struggle between two extreme emotions of pain and happiness. I know this emotion may be difficult for ordinary people to understand, but it is very real."

"For example, the three-dimensional silicon-through-tube heterogeneous chip technology we announced on Weibo in March, which is the CNMD architecture chip I named, is really hard to imagine when our first RF chip is successfully produced in the laboratory. After it was released, the accumulated experience made this worry-free kitten start to build a more complex structure, and build a more complex model through successful data."

"Can you imagine the pain? The next generation of chip technology seems to be within reach. You wanted to take a good rest after achieving great success, to rejoice, celebrate, and vent your joy in various ways, but those complicated The mathematical model is telling you that you can’t rest yet, and the current achievements are even less worthy of joy and celebration, because you still have more important things to do in the future!”

Speaking of this, Ning Wei spread his hands and made a very helpless gesture...

However, the bosses in the audience began to look at each other in blank dismay...

Especially many bigwigs have some bad associations at this moment.

Just now, this young man on the stage rushed into Tian Yanzhen's office with a very happy attitude, and then spit out the words 65 nanometers...

So, he calls this pain?Can this fucking be called pain? !

Even many people who have not experienced this scene, the first reaction when they heard this was to be stunned, and there was a very special feeling...

Ning Wei, are you going to do something again?
