Hammer of Technology

"The orchestra has worked hard! Academician Ning really paid for it this time!"

"I heard that Academician Ning has specially booked a hotel for this year's awards ceremony. I'm really looking forward to what kind of performance he can have tonight!"

"A feast for the world's science and technology circles, Academician Ning is mighty, I am mighty in Great China, Ning Xin is mighty, wait for Academician Ning to come on stage and tell the world how awesome Ning Xin is!"

……

In this way, under much anticipation, it finally came to 29:[-] pm.

At this time, the audience hall was already full of guests and audiences who came to watch the ceremony. At this time, the lights on the stage were suddenly dimmed, and the orchestra stopped playing. The light converged and finally turned into beating numbers, starting the countdown to the last ten seconds.

The numbers that appeared out of thin air began to count down in the middle of the screen. To be honest, it was a bit shocking. After all, there was no projection equipment in the auditorium behind. It doesn't look particularly surprising either.

There are many technical means that can be realized, but it is nothing more than the specific technology used, and the time is too short to explore it.

Especially for the viewers watching the live broadcast, it doesn't feel like much.

After all, this kind of special effect video can be seen every day.

But the solemn countdown can quickly attract people's attention, and the scene finally quieted down. When the number on the curtain returned to zero, more than 2000 spectators in the venue also fell silent. At this time, all the lights were dimmed. The synchronization began to open slowly, and the stage of more than 600 square meters was completely dark at this time, with only a beam of light hitting the figure in the center of the stage.

That's right, the figure is Ning Wei, who is also the host of today's awards ceremony.

There was no way, after all, too many heavyweight guests were invited by him, and he had to give the opening tribute speech both emotionally and rationally.

"Thank you very much for today's guests. I really came to participate in the 2027-2028 March Award Ceremony in spite of my busy schedule. I would like to take this opportunity to say hello to all the friends present today. This is the establishment of the March Award In the fourth year since, in these four years, we have explored an evaluation system accepted by the world, a form of specific score quantification, to evaluate the contribution made to the world's technological progress in different directions in the past year. The scientists who contributed the most."

"Of course, this is also accompanied by controversy, but one thing is that the fairness of the March Awards is unquestionable. We will comment on all the winners at the awards ceremony every year, but this year is special. Because everyone knows that this year's winners Among them, there is one of my students - Zhang Dingxi. In addition, I have to show the performance of Ningxin No. [-] to the public."

"So this year's commentary will have some very special displays, and even these displays will run through the entire awards ceremony. Before the mystery is solved, it will be a very interesting time to find out that this awards ceremony is different from the previous ones." Little easter egg, I hope that everyone can feel that these award ceremonies are different from the past or other award ceremonies from the detail level."

"Okay, without further ado, I announce that the 2027-2028 March Award Ceremony has officially begun. Now, please invite the winner of the last March Prize in Physics, Mr. Jacob Garland, to invite us to select this year's Winner of the Physics Prize!"

Enthusiastic applause rang out from the audience, and the atmosphere was extremely warm, especially the Easter eggs in Ning Wei's mouth still aroused the interest of many audiences who like to solve puzzles.

Is this year's award ceremony really different from the past?

The atmosphere at the scene was enthusiastic. On the Internet, bullet chats began to flood the screen. At this moment, many people were gearing up.

……

There is a saying in China that the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment.This sentence is used to explain that today's award ceremony is undoubtedly extremely appropriate.

Because it really doesn't look any different from any other award show.

It was nothing more than the specially invited bigwigs came to the stage and began to sing the praises of the winners of this year according to the script, and then awarded the medals and trophies to the winners, followed by the winners' speeches, and then the lights on the stage were turned on, the orchestra began to play, and the song ended , to start the awarding of the next award.

As for the easter egg that Ning Wei said at the beginning...

Ghost Easter egg...

At the beginning, there were voices of discussion in the barrage, but later on, there was basically no discussion about easter eggs...

It doesn't make sense, and it makes people want to yawn...

It's obviously just playing tricks...

The only reason why the ratings have not dropped significantly so far is probably because the Ning Xin No. [-] they are looking forward to has not officially started to be introduced.

After all, there is only one computer award left, and the true face of Ning Xin No. [-] is about to be revealed. It is a pity to give up at this time...

Even the bigwigs sitting in the front row began to whisper to each other in their spare time.

Of course, for many of them, it may not be disappointment. After all, the more mediocre this awards ceremony, it may be in their best interest. Even Pat Kelsinger's face, which had always been serious, began to smile. ...

Ha, it turns out that Academician Ning is not omnipotent. He blows so hard, but that's all!

------------

392 Really?Fake?Explode, the charm of technology!

"Mark, do you see anything special?"

Pat Kelsinger easily took advantage of the gap after receiving the award, applauded, took off the simultaneous translation earphones, and asked Facebook boss Mark Zuckerberg beside him.

"No." Mark Zuckerberg shook his head and took off his earphones.When enjoying music, you don't need to bring this kind of simultaneous interpretation equipment.Although this kind of earphone is very advanced, it does not need to be plugged into the ear, but the skin next to the ear transmits information by vibration, but it is still uncomfortable to wear for a long time.

"So, what exactly is the easter egg that Ning is talking about?" Pat Kelsinger continued to ask.

Mark Zuckerberg raised his wrist and glanced at the time. It was already 09:30 in the evening. Two hours had passed since the award ceremony. Normally, the last award would be over after the award ceremony. Smile With a smile: "The answer to the mystery should be revealed soon, let's stay calm."

……

Although the orchestra has started to play again on the stage, playing in the audience hall that can accommodate more than 2000 people, taking advantage of this gap to whisper to each other, it is not a big deal, and it will not affect anything.

It's just that there was no camera operator on the stage, and the camera kept scanning the faces of the key bosses in the audience, and quickly captured the scene of the two people having a relaxed conversation.

After all, it's quite interesting to watch the CEO of a world-class dominant technology company in the semiconductor field change from a serious face to gradually relaxed.Under certain circumstances, it can be said that Pat Kelsinger's performance just represented the mental transformation process of the vast majority of the more than 2000 viewers on the scene at this time, and the combined [-] million live viewers on all platforms.

It's just that compared to the vast majority of ordinary audiences, the performance is somewhat opposite.

In fact, there is one thing to say, if Ning Wei hadn't created too much anticipation for everyone during the previous publicity process, this would really be a good awards ceremony tonight.The stage was beautifully arranged, celebrities gathered together, the guests who presented the awards were humorous, and their speeches were full of wit and wit. .

Just the importance shown by these world-class scientists to the March Intelligence Award is actually enough to make the audience feel satisfied.However, the sense of anticipation has been adjusted, and there is still some dissatisfaction.

It can't be said that the band plays a few more songs and invites a few more masters, which is innovation, right?

Especially from the attentive audience, who noticed the changes in the expressions of these big shots from the beginning to the end, they would still feel uncomfortable to some extent.

……

Finally, the song is over.

When the curtain closed and opened again, the host Ning Wei, who had disappeared for two hours, reappeared on the stage.

Just like his first appearance, the lights on the stage have been completely dimmed, and there is only a beam of light shining on him.

"Hi everyone, we meet again!"

Once on stage, Ning Wei greeted everyone with a smile.

There was no enthusiastic response, but this was probably expected by Ning Wei.His appearance was probably expected by all the audience. After all, it was Zhang Dingxi's next stage to receive the award. As Zhang Dingxi's mentor and the host of the awards ceremony, even if he was not the award presenter, he came out to meet him. Supporting one's own students is what it should be.

"As everyone knows, the award ceremony is coming to an end, and I can feel everyone's disappointment, really, because I was in the background just now, in fact, I have been watching the live broadcast of today's award ceremony on the Internet. I have to say, this award ceremony is really ordinary. That's it? Even the Nobel dinner is more exciting than this!"

This sentence, in exchange for a burst of laughter from the audience.

This probably shows that this self-deprecating sentence is in place, and it indeed expresses the aspirations of many viewers.

After all, in the previous publicity, Ning Wei said on Weibo that this may be the greatest science and technology award ceremony in recent years, and invited many big shots to join him. It is really disappointing to do it like this.

"but……"

Ning Wei increased his voice and began to turn around, and the audience fell silent.

"What makes me feel particularly regretful is that I said at the beginning that there are actually easter eggs in this press conference, and it runs through the entire press conference, but there is no total number of 13 people on the entire platform from the end to before I took the stage. 750 Among the eight barrages, I found one barrage, and found the easter egg of today's awards ceremony. There are only [-] weakly related jokes and speculations. Originally, the organizing committee prepared red envelopes for those who found the easter eggs The audience were pleasantly surprised, but now it seems that the red envelopes cannot be distributed.”

"Shh..."

There was a burst of boos from the audience. After all, there was a red envelope and I didn't say it in advance. This is very dishonest...

"Haha, don't worry everyone. Although I didn't say it before, I really prepared a red envelope. There are only 1000 million red envelopes. Although I haven't been able to send them out, it doesn't matter. We are still planning to take out the 1000 million yuan. In the future, it will be paid in cash. Form feedback to consumers. After Ningxin goes on the market, the 1000 million will be divided into 1000 shares, which will be randomly assigned to Ningxin’s number. Users who have purchased Ningxin only need to scan the QR code on the box. If they are lucky If you buy the winning chip, you can immediately receive the [-] yuan red envelope."

These remarks showed the sincerity of the organizing committee, and also made the audience's attention highly concentrated, especially the leaders of the technology companies in the front row.

The long-awaited point has finally come. Ning Xin's true face will finally be revealed at this moment. After waiting for two hours, countless people have been waiting for this moment. The 1000 yuan red envelope doesn't matter, and no one cares about what the easter eggs are. Ningxin's various performance parameters are the most important.

however……

"Speaking of Ning Xin... Haha, when I was watching the live broadcast just now, I found that many netizens were concerned about the bullet screen. Thank you again for your attention to this China-made chip. But, actually, I feel that standing on the stage In fact, it is meaningless to read Ning Xin's parameters according to the script. The specific parameters are announced, and everyone can't remember them, and the specific advantages and disadvantages cannot be compared on the spot."

"Besides, today is the award ceremony for the March Awards. We can't make it look like a product launch event. After all, the Science and Technology Spring Festival Gala is something that big technology companies such as Apple, Intel, IBM, Huawei, Rice, etc. need to worry about; I can’t compete with them at the awards ceremony, so I won’t say much about Ningxin. We will publish the details of the specific parameters of the chip directly on the official website of the March Artificial Intelligence Journal...”

This sentence definitely poked a hornet's nest, the audience booed everywhere, and the barrage became even more crazy.

Countless people can persist until now just to watch Ning Xin!

The first chip that Huaxia has almost completely independent property rights!

As a result, it was announced and then not announced?

At this time, the noise became the main theme of the ceremony.

At this time, a sentence of bright red barrage probably best expresses the mood of countless netizens at this time.

"Damn it, I know why there are so many security guards around the rostrum of today's awards ceremony. Without these security guards, I'm afraid that Academician Ning will be slapped to death by the audience!"

"Isn't it? Irresponsible guess, is it because Ning Xin's performance is not too strong, so Ning Wei is embarrassed to announce it on this occasion?"

"Fuck, Academician Ning, half of my pants are off, so you just tell me this? Can you show me some face?"

However, Academician Ning on the stage began to turn around again...

"But...but...but..."

Three consecutive louder and louder voices finally made the noisy voices of the scene gradually subside. Is this coming again?

"But I didn't say I wouldn't show you Ningxin's performance, did I? In fact, as I said just now, the easter egg that I reminded you of before was originally related to our Ningxin and this year's computer award winner, as well as mine. The achievements of student Zhang Dingxi are closely related. We spent an entire awards ceremony to show you this, don’t you really notice anything?”

This rhetorical question made everyone stunned.

The scene began to enter the silent stage...

Countless people looked at each other...

It took the entire award ceremony to show Ning Xin's performance and Zhang Dingxi's achievements?

Can anyone tell what exactly they missed?

……

On the Internet, there was also a temporary silence...

People need time to think about the difference between this ceremony and the previous ones. Some people have even started to search for the video of the last March Awards ceremony on the Internet, comparing it with today's video, trying to find the difference.

Well, could it be that the band came out earlier?What does this have to do with Ning Xin's performance?

Of course, more people had already given up struggling and began to quietly wait for Ning Wei to reveal the answer.

At this time, Ning Wei would be in danger if there was another but...

……

"Okay, you didn't realize it, so before Zhang Dingxi comes to the stage to accept the award, let me reveal this little Easter egg for everyone."

After finishing speaking, Ning Wei paused, leaned sideways, pointed to the stage, and said calmly, "God said, let there be light!"

As soon as the voice fell, the gorgeous stage lights came on, showing the Pearl Symphony Orchestra that had just finished playing.

Everyone looked at the orchestra on the stage, not knowing why, but soon someone noticed the difference, because the entire orchestra was weird, everyone was motionless, without a single sound, let alone half a movement, and even turned their backs to the conductor of the audience There was no tremor in the raised hands, as if time on the stage had been completely stopped.

Countless people began to look at each other...

What do you mean?

The band on stage is fake?

However, without giving everyone much time to react, Ning Wei continued to speak calmly: "God said that music has the power to soothe people's hearts."

The next moment, the melodious sound of violins sounded at the scene. On the stage, the first violinist in the first row suddenly stood up and began to play the violin simultaneously, while the others remained motionless.

After the prelude was finished, the violinists in the first row stood up and joined in the performance at the same time.

People who are familiar with classical music can immediately recognize that this is the opening part of the fourth movement of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony. Something went wrong.

Obviously, for the first violinist of the orchestra, this kind of mistake is unforgivable during the official performance, but fortunately, the strange situation at the scene left no time for people to pay attention to these details.

At the same time, exclamations sounded from the left and right sides of the audience hall at the same time...

Countless people turned their attention to the prestige, and the lights in the auditorium turned on synchronously. At this time, everyone saw that the little violins on both sides who were supposed to be playing on the stage were playing the violin while playing the violin at the side door that was opened at an unknown time. into the lobby...

Obviously, for many musicians, they are also in a state of confusion at this time, because they can already see that on the bright stage, there are their doppelgängers...

The scene was dumbfounded...

But those who were really shocked should be the audience who watched the live broadcast on the Internet, because they have a better perspective and camera. At this time, all the live broadcast platforms chose split screen almost at the same time. The above shot is the orchestra playing on the stage. In the following, a very close-up shot is used to pass over the faces of each violin player, perfectly presenting the faces and expressions of these violin players...

It can't be said that every detail is there, but it can be seen that these are the same group of people, with exactly the same appearance...

……

"God said that the piano is the king of Western musical instruments! The percussion group is the most impassioned."

Stuck in the rhythm, Ning Wei casually pointed to the positions of the piano and percussion group on the stage.

In an instant, the original piano, the pianist sitting in front of the piano, and the entire percussion group were directly broken into countless light spots, which slowly floated up. Then the stage lift started, and the melodious piano sound came. The real piano, pianist, The musicians and musical instruments of the percussion group slowly appeared on the stage following the [-]-square-meter lift.
