Hammer of Technology

"Okay, I know."

Yan Ming let go of the map, clicked on the internal mailbox, and saw an email lying in the unread list.

I clicked on it and took a look. I was a little surprised that it was an email from Qualcomm forwarded by the group.

It probably means that Qualcomm is willing to let go of its arrogance and establish a more stable cooperative relationship with Huawei. Yan Ming caught the most important point in an instant, and unconditionally gradually released the chip authorization to Huawei until the supply of chips to Huawei was resumed.

Of course, this is a strict understanding.However, this email only stated one direction, and there is no specific release timetable. That is to say, if Huawei is really interested, it can almost reply to Qualcomm's email, and then everyone will sit down and discuss it together.So this unconditional, after all, is debatable.

For this email, a smile appeared on the corner of Yan Ming's irrepressible mouth.

Sure enough, there are a bunch of people who don't know who the fuck is his father's thing, and finally - I'm in a hurry!

In fact, it is quite good. Although the R&D department has started to work overtime, it is still uncertain whether the next generation of new products will be able to use [-]D chips. This involves a problem in the upstream and downstream industry chains.Not to mention that when selecting a supplier, Huawei needs to determine a standard, so there is a high probability that this generation of products designed around Apple's A-series CPU will not use [-]D chips. If Qualcomm's conditions are not too excessive, it can really sit down. Have a nice talk.

What is the special significance of going to Luopu County?

Seeing that the meeting time was approaching, Yan Ming suddenly thought of Liu Cong, so he picked up his cell phone and called Liu Cong.

"Hey, Liu Cong, let me ask you something. Do you know that there is a Luopu County in Sanqin Province? Do you know?! How do you know? Oh, oh, it's the hometown of that Xiaojiang, I understand, I understand , I’m just asking casually, okay, thank you.”

After hanging up the phone, Yan Ming felt a little bored.Sure enough, he is getting old, and he can't get the thinking of young people at all.

Twenty years ago, he might have thought in this direction long ago, but now he has been trying to analyze it from a business perspective, and naturally he cannot get a real answer.In other words, Ning Wei proposed this project because Luopu County first existed before this project came into being.

This really needs to ask for everyone's opinions and evaluate it carefully.

Perhaps it is the most correct choice to find a Huawei park as mentioned in the plan.

……

Ning Wei finished compiling the textbook Chapter 1 in the office, so he licked his face and went to Senior Brother Lu's office for lunch.The main reason is to promote the relationship with Senior Brother Lu.

In the afternoon, Ning Wei has to accept an exclusive interview.

In fact, there have been many media outlets who have wanted to interview Ningwei, but basically all of them have been rejected.For Ning Wei, gaining reputation in the media doesn't make much sense, but in Tian Yanzhen's view, what Ning Wei needs now is to hide his strength and bide his time, not to make some limelight, there is no need for that.

Academicians have volunteered to write letters of recommendation for him without being in the limelight. If he shows up a little more in the media, wouldn't he have to tease those people to the point where he can't help himself?God knows what other tricks they can come up with?

How should I put it, the strife among the academic circles has always been done silently, and many people may not have reacted to the whole process.Must be on guard.

So basically all interview requests were directly filtered by Tian Yanzhen's side, and they couldn't be filtered out. When they contacted Ning Wei, Ning Wei also directly refused with various excuses.

But this time the situation was a bit different. Central Media directly contacted Jitu Company for coordination, and Chen Mingcai called Tian Yanzhen and Ning Wei directly, which made it difficult for the master and apprentice to refuse.Although the master and the apprentice are united, they have no choice but to join forces.

And this is not the first time that the central media has hoped to arrange an exclusive interview for Ning Wei.When the CNMD chip was born, the central media had already given this plan. At that time, Ning Wei still refused the request for an exclusive interview on the grounds that he was hurrying up to do his homework.This time Chen Ming just called and talked again, it was really hard to refuse.

Of course, exclusive interviews have to be used well. For example, Tian Yanzhen has specifically explained to Ning Wei, so we can promote Ning Ban more.Ning Ban can mention it, and Ning Wei thinks that this interview can also be used to promote the future technology experience city that has not yet been officially approved.

The time to meet with the interviewer was set at two o'clock in the afternoon, in Ning Wei's office, so Ning Wei could have a leisurely lunch with Senior Brother Lu and chat a few words.

Fortunately, Ning Wei is not nervous at all. After all, he is a person who has seen the world, and it is not uncommon for the central media to be on it, and now the video of him being interviewed when he was at Jiang University can still be found online.

……

Soon it was two o'clock in the afternoon, and the central media filming team also came on time.To Ning Wei's surprise, the hostess who came to interview him this time actually knew her, but she knew it just by looking at it, but when she informed him of the host's name, she didn't match the name with the person. that realization.

So she is Luo Zhen!

"Hello, Dr. Ning."

"Well, hello, Sister Luo, my dad used to really like watching your show, which is the "People" you hosted. At least he watched it every day when I was at home during the winter and summer vacations when I was in college."

"Oh?" Luo Zhen was stunned, probably because she didn't expect Ning Wei to call her Sister Luo. After all, she should be at least ten years older than Ning Wei. If you really want to say it enough to be Ning Wei's aunt, she couldn't help laughing: "Then I have to thank your father for his support."

"You're welcome! It's a pity that he has returned to his hometown in Yancheng, otherwise he must be very happy to meet the real person."

"It's okay, we can add a WeChat later, when uncle comes to the capital, let's have dinner together."

"Eh? That's fine..."

"By the way, Dr. Ning, this is a question prepared in advance by our program team. First, see if there is anything inconvenient to answer. If so, you can raise it first. Let's discuss and change some other questions. Or If you have any suggestions, what questions should be added, we can communicate, and you can also think about how to answer these questions in advance.”

Ning Wei took the question card handed over by the host and roughly flipped through it.In fact, most of the questions are still very gentle, such as focusing on his mental journey of doing mathematics research, artificial intelligence and chip technology, what difficulties he encountered in the process of doing research, how to overcome them, etc... …

These questions are probably to attract Ningwei to say some more inspirational content, probably out of consideration for ratings, in fact, there are also some more personal questions, such as some topics about Ningwei's outlook on wealth, love, and other aspects , and even the messy affair with Princess Snow Country that was hyped up in Western countries before is within the problem.

Of course, this is also understandable. These days, the central media also have to consider the issue of ratings.Although scientists like Ning Wei, who have their own topicality, have a great appeal, but probably because of this, the program team hopes to have some more relaxed links.

If the whole article is talking about scientific research, it will not be very friendly to the vast majority of viewers.After all, ordinary people probably have more curiosity about Ningwei's other side than things that everyone doesn't understand, but Ningwei has to be willing to answer these questions, so there is communication in advance.

"Well, let's not talk about these private topics in the interview, right? It would be embarrassing to ask me so directly. I'm not a celebrity, so no one should be interested in my private life, right?" Ning Wei pointed to these questions.

"Dr. Ning, these are actually not very private things. If you think about it this way, a lot of information from the Internet has spread to Huaxia. There are actually a lot of rumors on the Internet. In fact, your response in this open way is not exposed. On the other hand, on the contrary, it can clarify some suspicions and false statements on the Internet." Luo Zhen explained patiently.

"Oh? Is that so?" Ning Wei stared at the opposite host and inquired.

"Of course, we won't keep an eye on the ratings, but we will also consider the social impact on you. In fact, this is a very positive publicity. Of course, I believe that Dr. Ning should be able to see it, you just need to put It’s good to speak out your true thoughts.” Luo Zhen said with a smile.

"That's it, then I will add some questions and follow my true thoughts. Can you not broadcast all the edits?" Ning Wei asked very purely.

"It can be edited as little as possible, so what questions do you want to talk about?" Luo Zhen asked.

"For example, I want to comment on some things in the beautiful country opposite. For example, they quarrel every four years. What is the so-called democracy? It is clearly 50.00% of the power of one against 40.00% of nine! I think if according to their Thinking about elections, they should have two capitals. Those who like this boss follow this one, and those who like that boss follow that one. Those who don’t like both bosses can play their own! This is perfect. Can this be broadcast? ?”

Ning Wei finished speaking seriously, and then asked a question with a sincere expression, her eyes met each other, and they were all sincere.

Luo Zhen's eyelids twitched, and she kept smiling and said: "Well, you are right, let's see what problems should be eliminated, but we need to add some new problems, otherwise there is not enough material, and I am afraid that there is not enough time to support it." period program."

"No problem. We can talk about a lot of things. I don't know if our director Tian is happy with you. We at the School of Mathematics of Yanbei University are going to hold a class, focusing on the direction of artificial intelligence mathematics theory. We can have a good chat about this. In addition, I personally have a relatively large plan in the near future, hoping to raise a sum of funds to build a future technology city that allows people to experience the future. Let people walk into the city and experience the benefits that artificial intelligence can bring to life in the future. What changes did it bring about?"

Is this the top scientist in China?

The pre-designed sensitive questions are not allowed to ask any of them. I have to say that this idea is really good because I want to advertise my own affairs through this interview program of the central media.Luo Zhen felt sorry for not agreeing.

Sure enough, none of the billionaires is simple.Seeing that this young man really looks harmless to humans and animals, but the communication is different immediately. Although I am complaining in my heart, I still have to do things. I spent an hour sorting out the problem again, and talked to Ning Weixian again. After roughly correcting the answer, the camera can finally start working.

"Hello, viewers and friends, welcome to CCTV's character program. I am the host Luo Zhen. Today we are honored to invite Dr. Ning Wei from Huaxia Yanbei Mathematics Research Center. I believe everyone is familiar with this name. He is not too unfamiliar. In addition to scientific research, he is also a frequent visitor to Internet hot searches. He often sparks heated discussions because of various things. May I ask Dr. Ning Wei, how do you evaluate yourself for such a situation that is often on the Internet hot list? of?"

"Actually, sometimes I really think this matter is due to physical reasons. Maybe I am easy to be targeted by some people. For example, when I was still not very famous in Jiangda University, because I commented in a small video, I was targeted by the original creator, and tried to harass me on the Internet, but unfortunately failed. In fact, all the hot-searched events, except for the large-scale Turing test on Weibo, were not what I wanted .”

"Hot search physique? It's a fresh statement. In fact, everyone is still very concerned about your research history. We have also seen that there is no high-tech equipment in your office. Are you the only one who makes those achievements here?"

"Actually, doing pure mathematics research does not require the support of too many high-tech equipment. It mainly requires brains to think. Of course, there are often some problems that require numerical simulation, so I bought a supercomputing center. Of course, I will do other research. going to the lab."

"Is that how March was designed?"

"Actually, March was designed when I went to the United States to participate in the STOC conference. At that time, I even changed a laptop in the United States for it, because the hardware configuration of the laptop I brought back at that time was indeed poor. By the way, it is That one..." As he spoke, Ning Wei pointed to the HP Alienware set on the desk.

"Oh? Then this laptop will definitely become one of the most cherished laptops in the world. I believe many people will want to collect this laptop that created the first artificial intelligence in human history. Then you are doing [-]D silicon Did the tube chip design also rely on this notebook?"

"Ha, how is that possible? This laptop can't support the environment it needs..."

Just like this question and answer, it took almost half an hour...

"We have also sorted out some questions from netizens here. I hope you can clear up your doubts. A netizen named 985 Xuezha said that he found it difficult to read English literature at the undergraduate level, especially some professional vocabulary. He has published six papers in top-ranked journals in the world during his undergraduate studies. He wants to know whether your papers are first written in Chinese and then translated, or written directly in English. If it is the latter, what is your English proficiency? Exercise."

Ning Wei nodded and said, "All the submitted papers were written by myself, and I didn't ask someone to polish them in English. How should I put it, in my opinion, it's not unreasonable for English to be the most spoken language in the world." , because it is simple enough, of course it will spread more widely.”

"For example, what is what in English, wha is basically an exclamation in the accent, and then adding a t represents a question, and twins, you see, tw we know, it is 2, in is in it, In the mother’s womb, add an s that represents plurals. If there are two in the mother’s womb, they are twins. There are many such examples, and there are countless. So it is actually very easy to memorize words after mastering the rules. As for the grammatical structures, they Clearly distinguish the present, the past, and the progress, and you can basically master it in one day."

"To make a simple analogy, Chinese is like assembly language. It is difficult to learn, but if you learn it well, you will really fall in love with its profoundness. English is like Java. Many people use it, but programming with it calls even a pointer. No. So I don’t really understand why some English papers are so troublesome. If there must be, there is no need to worry. We have already started to make our own journals. For example, the March Smart Journal has been officially launched, and it only accepts Chinese papers. Our goal is to make this journal one of the top journals in the world."

"And I firmly believe that in the near future, there will be more and more top journals purely in Chinese. At that time, you only need to be proficient in Chinese to publish articles in world-class top journals, and you don't need to worry about English at all. It is not far away, our generation can see it. Even now it has begun to develop a real pure Chinese programming environment, and the rapid development of artificial intelligence can also solve the problem of simultaneous interpretation in the near future. For example, in March, it is proficient in There are almost all languages ​​in the world, so if you feel that you have no language talent, you don’t need to worry at all.”

……

"By the way, I heard that the School of Mathematics of Yanbei University is preparing a Ning class, right? What kind of talents will this Ning class mainly cultivate in the future?"

"That's right, we are making intensive preparations for the Ning class, and we will enroll the first batch of students in September this year. The construction of the Ning class is mainly to train and reserve talents who study the mathematical theory of artificial intelligence, so the courses of the Ning class are also more targeted. It is mainly about promoting the research of artificial intelligence mathematical theory. Of course, there are public courses at the mathematical level such as the most basic line algebra A, advanced number A, and space geometry. There will also be some very professional courses, such as The professional course "Introduction to Big Data Science Cognitive and Mathematics Foundation" which I am in charge of."

"The difference between this class and the Huaqing Yao class and the Zhi class is that the goal of Huaqing's training is mainly application ability, while our goal of training is to enable these students to have theoretical research capabilities. It is used to guide the students of Yao class and Zhi class to change and innovate the current technology, um, that’s about it.”

Luo Zhen continued to ask: "This is really amazing. Also, Dr. Ning, we also heard that you are taking the lead, hoping to build a large-scale technological city that allows people to experience the future in advance. Is there such a thing? Construction What is the original intention of this city?"

Ning Wei straightened his body and replied: "Indeed there are, and even the location has been selected, which is in Luopu County, Kangcheng, Sanqin Province. In my idea, I will invite some high-tech companies to jointly construct An experience city managed by artificial intelligence, everyone can brainstorm and reflect their own understanding of the future in this future city. You can come to this city to experience that it may be in the city in the next few years or even more than ten years life experienced."

"Such as autonomous driving, such as full smart homes in family-style hotels, such as wearable products that transcend the times, cutting-edge robot services, and even real-life playing game scenes guided by intelligent NPCs, including face-to-face interaction with our ancestor of artificial intelligence March. .Even I am still thinking about something more special, such as a real interactive film and television."

"A simple explanation is that through a series of technical means, visitors can experience the feeling of being in a movie. It is similar to the interactive movie technology of VR technology, but the difference is that people really participate in the movie. Everyone You can follow the perspective of anyone in the film and television works, and pay attention to every detail. In short, it is to create an environment that modern urbanites cannot imagine."

……

"Wow, after listening to Dr. Ning's description, I feel that I am very yearning for this future city, but I have a question, why is the location of this city in a county under Sanqin Province?"

"I have thought about this carefully. This issue is mainly based on the following considerations. First, China no longer lacks window-type cities, such as Beijing, Mingzhu, Shencheng, and Guangcheng. However, these international metropolises , are all concentrated in the coastal areas of China, and there are few representative areas in central China that can represent the rapid development of China. I believe that this shortcoming can be made up for in the future after the city is built."

"Second, you may have never been to Luopu County. Simply put, it is a good place with beautiful scenery and beautiful mountains and rivers. I hope that this future city can perfectly integrate with the surrounding environment, so that people can enjoy the future. When using technology, you can also experience a comfortable environment.”

"Third, entering the future city from an economically backward area, I believe that the sense of contrast is more fascinating. It can bring tourists a different feeling. And this future city can also feed back the local economy. Come up with a model for technology to change the region."

"That's how it is. I look forward to the day when the city is actually built. I hope that I will have the opportunity to experience it early."

"Well, when the city is built, I will send you a free tour e-ticket, and I hope you can give us more opinions then."

"Sure, sure, well, audience friends, I believe that today's program will give you a new understanding of the daily life of scientists like Dr. Ning. We have our own chips and more technologies made by us in China. Let us also pay tribute to all the scientists who are struggling in the front line of scientific research. It is time to say goodbye to everyone. I hope you can continue to pay attention to our The show, audience friends, goodbye."

……

After the recording was over, Ning Wei paid attention to the time. It took 70 minutes in total, and the program usually lasted 50 minutes when it was broadcast on TV, so he smacked his lips and asked casually, "This needs to be edited for 20 minutes."

"Well, the recorded and broadcast programs have to be edited later, but don't worry, no matter how you edit, I guarantee that the part about Ningban and the future city will definitely not be edited."

"That's fine! Please, Sister Luo."

"Uh...ha, no trouble, Dr. Ning!"

"By the way, this show will air tomorrow, right?"

"Yes, it will be broadcast tomorrow, why?"

"Didn't I tell you that my dad is a fan of yours. I must inform him when I appear on your show. He must be super excited."

"Haha, Dr. Ning, you are so humorous."

……

Ning Wei also let out a sigh of relief after seeing off the reporters of the central media's interview team. Although he can perform well in front of the camera every time, in fact, he still feels not used to it in his heart.

He doesn't have much obsession with being on TV, although this is an excellent channel to carry forward his knowledge.It's just that with the improvement of status, it is actually more of the feeling of being too cold at a high place.

But now, Ning Wei probably wouldn't have imagined how much trouble this interview would cause, and it was the part where he felt that what he said was the most conservative and the least problematic.

Well, things in the world are sometimes so unexpected.

……

In Shencheng, Yan Ming rubbed his eyebrows wearily.

Sure enough, from the perspective of the company's interests, Ningwei's project was a bit willful.

An investment of 500 billion yuan is not a small amount for any company, even Huawei.

If this future science and technology experience city is located in a certain area around Shencheng, it must be unanimously approved.

It can be seen that the location of Luopu County is really unpopular.

Of course, Ningwei's signboard is there, whether it is the turbulent flow algorithm, or the more important three-dimensional silicon channel chip technology for Huawei, and even the cooperation of the March smart platform, all of which require Huawei to maintain a close relationship with Ningwei.

So even if everyone is not very optimistic about this project, the verbal opposition is not very fierce, but in terms of direction, everyone is more inclined to accept the conditions proposed by Ning Wei, that is, Huawei's limited participation in the construction of this huge project, such as in this After the city officially approves the project, it will undertake the construction of a Huawei-exclusive area inside. In this case, the investment can be reduced to several billion.

Maintaining the relationship with Ning Wei at the least cost is probably the final decision.

From the company's point of view, this is actually quite good, but Yan Ming feels a little embarrassed to talk to Ning Wei.I even regretted that I didn't read the plan at that time, so I took it all in.

Headache……

But after all, he still gave Ning Wei a message. After thinking about it, he dialed Ning Wei's number.

"Hello, Mr. Ning."

"Mr. Yan, hello. Is the matter of the future city already discussed?"

"Yes, Mr. Ning, I'm sorry, everyone is actually very optimistic about this idea, but because of the site selection, many people still have reservations about the future development of this city. Of course, we are still willing to participate in the construction For example, building our Huawei Park in this city, including building a large-scale product experience center and smart family hotel, and we are also willing to do our best for the overall digital construction of the city."

"Have you taken a fancy to the specific location?"

"Yes, we think the area of ​​No. A2 is good. It is close to the future film and television city and the intelligent interactive game area in the design plan, and the place is large enough. The group decided to invest 70 billion in this project. As for the shareholding We haven’t discussed the block yet, we can discuss it when all the investors are confirmed and the project is formally approved.”

"Okay! That's the decision, happy cooperation, Mr. Yan."

"Happy cooperation, Mr. Ning!"

……

After hanging up the phone, Yan Ming heaved a sigh of relief.

Judging from Ning Wei's tone on the phone, he didn't appear to be unhappy, that's all.
