Hammer of Technology

"Of course it represents more companies, and we keep in touch all the time."

"Oh...well, wait a moment..." Ning Wei responded, then sat down, turned on the computer and summoned Sanyue again.

The mobile phone and the computer are interoperable, and he is too lazy to think about how to word it to respond.

"Well, Mr. Palmisano, in fact, the donation to the March Education Fund is conditional and can be withdrawn. Even though the funds have entered the account of the March Education Fund, according to the agreement between us The contract was drawn up under the conditions of friendly negotiation, if in the final negotiation, your company cannot reach a cooperation based on friendship and mutual trust with the third party, you have the right to ask us to return all the donated money.”

"After you submit a written application, the March Education Fund will also guarantee that the principal will be fully refunded within [-] working days according to the contract. After the refund transaction is completed, the contract signed by you and us will come to an end. We're not guaranteeing your company a chance to negotiate. Well, that's about it, so Mr. Misano, are you going to submit a written bond return report on behalf of all of them or IBM?"

A very formal one-page response, some of the words are slightly awkward, and the reading is not coherent, but the others are quite good.

"Ning... this is not the solution or attitude to solve the problem. We should communicate on a rational basis and choose a way that everyone can accept to reach the final cooperation. In Huaxia's words, we will definitely find a win-win point of agreement. .”

The voice on the other side began to become gentle...

"Hmm...sorry, please wait a moment...it's like this, Mr. Palmisano, in fact, any suggestion I give to my partner is the result of careful consideration and full verification, and it is precisely for the purpose of realizing what you said. A win-win model. In fact, since ancient times, Chinese people have always adhered to the concept of being kind to others and win-win cooperation when doing business, which has been verified by history. It can be said that no one in this world can understand win-win cooperation better than Chinese people.”

"And the suggestions we give are also prudent decisions after considering the interests of all partners. Throughout history, we can see that a unified voice is the basis for an alliance to survive for a long time. To achieve a unified Voice needs a leader who can and dares to take responsibility to unify the various internal opinions and coordinate everyone's interests."

"An alliance full of intrigues and inconsistencies in opinions will eventually cause everyone to be unable to obtain theoretical benefits due to internal instability, and even destroy an industry. So please believe that the suggestions I put forward are exactly The best choice is to use strong measures to plan the orderly and healthy development of this emerging industry under the leadership of one voice within the alliance, which is the best choice that is in the interests of all parties.”

"There is a saying in China that power and responsibility are equal. As much power as you have, you have to bear as much responsibility. So please believe that as long as you accept our suggestion, in the future development of the industry, you will fully consider and maintain the alliance. For the benefit of all members, as the leader of the technology alliance, I also believe that Huaxia Company will uphold the principles of fairness, justice and openness, and exercise the rights conferred by the alliance..."

"Um……"

"So, Mr. Palmisano, any questions?"

"Yes, Ning Wei, can you show your sincerity and speak well?"

"This... I'm sorry, Mr. Palmisano, there is a call coming in, I need to hang up, if you have any ideas, we can continue to talk in depth later."

After finishing speaking, Ning Wei hung up the phone decisively.

This time he was really doing it for the good of the president of IBM opposite, the kitten on the computer screen was already a little upset...

After all, the result of sorting out a perfect set of rhetoric is evaluated as not being able to speak well, which will somewhat make the intelligence with anthropomorphic emotions unhappy...

Ning Wei thinks that this can actually write a paper, "How important it is to appreciate the beauty of language".

"Hey, Pat, my friend, don't tell me that you also felt frustrated when negotiating in Deep City? I thought you could understand us. Think about it, there is no such thing as Intel, and there is no prosperity in the semiconductor market now." , if motherboard manufacturers can’t unify their ideas, respect technology, and take the initiative to adapt chips, how can there be such a vibrant industry?”

"Remember the history of Microsoft trying to control Intel? Really, Pat, you sure understand the importance of a voice, right?!"

"Really, Tim, we are real friends, not on the same level as those people's plastic friendship. Apple's latest generation of mobile phone products uses the solution provided by the platform for the high-frequency version of IC distribution? You can see the test results now, right? ?Just by adjusting the IC distribution structure, the natural heat dissipation capacity of the body can be increased by 8%, and the product work efficiency can be increased by 12%. Where can I get such a cheap solution? Isn’t this enough to explain the problem?”

"Yes, Ning, as far as I am concerned, I very much hope that everyone can reach this agreement. But now the differences are very serious. As the helm of Apple, I must consider the views of some partners, otherwise it will affect The integrity of Apple's global supply chain is a very troublesome matter. The conditions you put forward this time are difficult to handle, and I don't know if you can convince the board of directors."

"Haha, Tim, so I like your frankness. Really, don't worry, whether it is Ningxin or [-]D display, there is still some time before mass production can be achieved. If it is really embarrassing, it is better not to express any opinions, just wait. See, here's my suggestion."

"Ning, if you can really see the world as a whole, you will definitely choose to give some suggestions for appropriate concessions. I believe this will benefit both the promotion of new technologies and Huawei itself."

"No, no, Mr. Cook, I have a different opinion from you on this point. No one will change their attitude immediately because of a little difficulty that they need to face temporarily, so that they will not gain any respect. Of course, our partners will These decisions will not affect basic production and R&D because these decisions are hindered at the strategic level. These are things they need to consider. At most, I am just a suggestion, not a requirement, so everyone’s requirements are based on their own conditions.”

"However, if possible, I still hope that you can help me give some people a message. It is not appropriate for me to say it directly. There is a saying in Huaxia that business cannot be done with righteousness, and we can't be friends. Let's do our own things without interfering with each other." But if it doesn’t work out, it won’t be fun if they think bad things, talk nonsense, and engage in public opinion wars when they go back.”

"We in Huaxia have just experienced the Sunshine News evaluation system. I think this system is good, and I may be able to promote it to the outside world. Don't have the inexplicable illusion that your rules are above other rules. There’s no price to pay. Really, maybe it used to be, but it won’t necessarily be the case in the future.”

"In addition, Tim, our chip technology is about to surpass yours in an all-round way. I am not only talking about Ningxin No. [-]. In fact, Ningxin series chips for mobile phones are already under design. With the successful experience of Ningxin No. [-], I believe that Ningsi Lab can complete a comprehensive transcendence within two years at most. Really, you know, I have always been humble."

"……Okay, bye."

"goodbye!"

……

There was no big surprise. In the end, the negotiations in Shencheng failed to achieve any results, and all the big shots left Huaxia one after another.

It is also understandable that everyone is very busy. If they cannot reach an agreement within a certain period of time, these people will not be able to stay in Huaxia for a long time. That would be meaningless.Instead of continuing to waste time in Huaxia full of resentment, it is better to go back and discuss countermeasures before this blue ocean has time to churn.

It's just conceivable that life may not be so easy for the technology departments of these big companies for a while.

Facts have already proved that for all high-paying companies, there must be preconditions for workers to be able to drink coffee and go to work leisurely. For example, they can earn tens of billions of dollars a month by providing advertising portals like Google. Stable financial resources face the risk of being replaced, not to mention reducing employee benefits, and there is a high probability that they will not be relentless when it is time to lay off employees.

That's probably the problem now.

Although the metaverse has been making a lot of noise in recent years, everyone can see the speed of advancement. The entrance to the Internet is still in the hands of these technology giants. In other words, the good days of making money while lying down have not passed .

But now different solutions have been launched. In the future era of stereoscopic display, whether the entrance can be controlled by oneself is already a question mark.As for whether programmers and R&D personnel need to work overtime after returning home, that is a matter of opinion.

Of course, Ning Wei doesn't care about these things, on the contrary, it's good that this group of people left and no one bothered him with messy things.

After going to the future city, his affairs piled up again.

Temporarily relieved of the burden of chip research and development, the cooperation with Director Chen of the Olympic opening ceremony is very interesting.The negotiation with the other party was not smooth, which also made Ningwei need to spend some time to understand the progress of some other projects in the laboratory.

The more important thing is to learn.

As Ning Wei said before, even if a mathematician wants to turn to an unfamiliar field of research, he will often start by solving specific mathematical problems, that is, solving problems.

What Ningwei has to do now is actually the same.

By researching papers and brushing questions, he can complete the knowledge content he lacks.

However, in this regard, Ningwei obviously has advantages that others do not have. A solid mathematical foundation, especially an understanding of various functions, allows him to solve problems with ease, such as wave functions.

Moreover, Ning Wei started to study quantum physics and had a greater advantage than ordinary physics students, that is, he had not systematically studied classical mechanics before.

Many people may object to defining this groundlessness as an advantage, but Ning Wei thinks this is really one of his advantages, because when he starts to think about the problem, he will find that if the content of classical mechanics is brought into it, If there is a systematic knowledge reserve of classical mechanics, it is very easy to generate a mindset that interferes with the understanding of quantum problems.

For example, a very simple question, when the energy of the particle is lower than the height of the potential barrier and is in the potential barrier, is the kinetic energy of the particle negative?

In fact, this can also be explained as how to understand the problem that the kinetic energy of particles inside the barrier is negative during the penetration of the barrier.

This question is actually very deceptive, especially for physics students, but in the understanding of quantum mechanics, because the coordinate operator is not commuting with the momentum operator, the potential energy operator is also not commuting with the kinetic energy operator , in other words, the potential energy and the kinetic energy cannot have definite values ​​at the same time.In this case, it is meaningless to discuss the statement that the energy of particles in a certain area is equal to the sum of kinetic energy and potential energy, which means that the question itself is meaningless.

The correct understanding is that when a particle is found within the range of the potential barrier, according to the uncertainty relation, the kinetic energy of the particle is uncertain within a certain range.

It feels like a mouthful...

Another example is the simplest question, what is the energy level of the ground state hydrogen atom?

Many people can quickly give an answer: -13.6eV.

However, this problem is not as simple as a number to understand.

13.6eV is a lot of energy for the usual thermal motion, light and other factors.In classical mechanics, electrons will fall to the nucleus, but quantum mechanics not only prevents electrons from falling, but also has a large ground state energy, thus revealing the root cause of the stability of hydrogen atoms.

Of course, this does not mean that classical mechanics is not important, because after in-depth study, many problems only need classical mechanics plus uncertainty principle to derive images and results. Strong restrictions, but this is an extremely trouble-free method after all.

To put it simply, just like the misunderstanding of many people on the Internet about quantum mechanics—everything is unresolved. Quantum mechanics, to put it bluntly, is nothing more than a macroscopic law that everyone is exposed to every day and has become accustomed to. It is not the case at the microscopic level...

But if you really understand it, you will actually find that under microscopic conditions, there are still laws, but these laws are not the same as the macroscopic laws.Adding uncommon nouns and symbols to distinguish them from classical physics casts a veil of mystery on these theoretical knowledge.

Let's put it this way, if Ning Wei were to describe it, the rules of the real world that everyone comes into contact with have always been simple, brutal, and direct. of……

But in the microcosm, everything is hazy, just like a veiled bride with a slender figure, her every move is full of beauty, which makes people fascinated.

Well, that's probably it...

The more you are attracted to this beauty, the more you can't help but want to devote yourself wholeheartedly.

So now Ning Wei really has the feeling that when the exam is approaching when he is back in college, there is always not enough time.

It was the same day, when Ning Wei was in the office working on a problem about the separability of quantum states based on the Bloch representation of density matrices, he received a call from Tian Yanzhen.

Reluctantly put down the pen and paper in his hand, looked at himself to prove the separability of the three-quantum system, Ning Wei then connected the phone.

"Hey, Director Tian, ​​what's the matter?"

"I can't find you if it's okay?"

"Forehead……"

"Actually, it's nothing. I just want to inform you that Lao Pan has returned. Last time, you said that you wanted to meet someone. I invited him to dinner. Will you come?"

"Go, this must go."

"That's fine, I'll send you the address on WeChat, and you can come directly at six o'clock."

"Thank you so much, Director Tian."

"Ha ha!"

The voice fell, and the other party directly hung up the phone...

How should I put it, the "hehe" on the other side is very meaningful.

Coincidentally, Ning Wei was holding his mobile phone, trying to understand the meaning of Tian Yanzhen's "hehe" before he hung up the phone, and then began to reflect on whether he had done something recently that made Director Tian feel unhappy. The door was pushed open suddenly, and his dear Senior Brother Lu rushed in directly.

"Senior brother Lu, we agreed last time, you have to knock on the door before you come in." Ning Wei muttered angrily.

Lu Dongyi was stunned for a moment, then frowned and asked, "Have we talked about this? Besides, you are alone in the office for a long time, and you don't want to do anything shameful. Why do you always close the door?"

Ning Wei looked at Lu Dongyi, and suddenly found that he couldn't answer this question.

Ok……

Why is he closing the door?

Academician Ning, who could reprimand Fang Qiu in front of a group of big shots, was defeated in the end and asked, "All right, Senior Brother Lu, what's the matter?"

Lu Dongyi immediately stepped forward enthusiastically, took a stack of documents in his hand and put them on Ningwei's desk, and said, "This is my latest research result, please analyze it for me to see if there are any omissions. If that’s the case, I’m ready to meet. It’s what I discussed with you last time, about new aggregation operators and sorting methods of complex intuitionistic fuzzy sets for machines and their theoretical decision-making process.”

Ning Wei scratched his head, looking at the documents that were at least five centimeters thick, he suddenly felt a little headache, while Lu Dongyi was still rambling: "This is the most important achievement after you persuaded me to change my direction to study the mathematical foundation of artificial intelligence. , if possible, next I want to try to use this theory to construct a large-scale mathematical model, oh, yes, if you find out any problems, please call me anytime, I will turn on the machine 24 hours a day.”

Ning Wei immediately said: "Brother Lu, congratulations, since you think this problem has been solved, it must not be a big problem. I will take a closer look tomorrow."

"Tomorrow?" Lu Dongyi was stunned for a moment, then frowned and said, "What are you busy with today? It's only five o'clock in the afternoon, and there is still plenty of time."

Just as he was talking, Ning Wei's cell phone vibrated, and he opened it to look. It was Tian Yanzhen who sent over the place for dinner.Donglaishun hot pot restaurant not too far from the school, Ning Wei let out a sigh of relief, raised his phone, and said confidently: "Hey, I really have something to do today. Director Tian asked me to go to Donglaishun to eat hot pot, why don't you come with Brother Lu?" go?"

Lu Dongyi looked at Ning Wei even more puzzled and asked, "Why did Director Tian invite you to eat hot pot for no reason? So will people really become boring when they get old?"

The words made Ning Wei shocked again...

Really, if you change someone casually, Ning Wei has to argue with reason, telling him that as a tutor, he invites his most successful and beloved student to have a meal, which has nothing to do with boring, but facing Lu Dongyi's exceptionally pure Ning Wei retreated in defeat, but asked back in surprise: "Professor Lu, you are also a tutor, don't tell me you have never invited your students to dinner?"

Lu Dongyi thought for a while and said, "Please, it's late to discuss some topics, I will ask them to bring a few more buns, and then we can eat together."

"Really, Senior Brother Lu, those children didn't know how many sins they committed in their previous lives, and they actually took your postgraduate entrance examination...Don't mention it, today is Lao Tian who invited Professor Pan from the Chinese Academy of Sciences to dinner, and by the way, I'm going to meet you... If you want to, you should be able to have a meal, so you can say whether to go or not?"

"Which Professor Pan? The one with quantum information?"

"alright."

"Oh, what are you doing? Ning Wei, don't say that you really don't plan to do mathematics, but you want to study physics?"

"alright."

"Ha ha……"

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

409 Ning Wei's Thoughts

Really, it was the first time that Ning Wei discovered that Lu Dongyi could be very permeable when he laughed, especially when he said "hehe", so he subconsciously asked, "What's wrong? Brother Lu?"

Lu Dongyi sat down on the sofa in the office directly, and said, "Ning Wei, do you still remember that you were in this office four years ago, did you speak to me?"

Ning Wei immediately replied: "Brother Lu, we have talked a lot in this office, what are you talking about?"

Lu Dongyi glanced at Ningwei, and said: "Oh, let me remind you, at that time I was still doing research on the linear stability of ppf, and you told me here that the research is outdated, we We should make some breakthroughs in the number theory of artificial intelligence. What you said at the time was that our future should be that Newton should give us his seat first, and Einstein should give us a cigarette when he comes, right? "

Ning Wei blinked, then nodded bluntly, and said, "That's right, isn't it right? It's pointless to do too much research on partial differential equations? Brother Lu, it's a big problem to be able to get out of the circle at the pde level. It’s just one, and the others are minor issues with limited influence, so I suggest that you change direction for your own good. You see, the few articles you published in the past two years have won awards..."

Lu Dongyi nodded, and then questioned slowly: "I didn't feel bad at all. After all, I have been doing this kind of work for these years and I am used to it. But here comes the problem. It was agreed at the beginning that we will We are working together on this issue, so what do you mean by doing physics research now?"

The four eyes met, but fortunately there was no spark...

"Brother Lu, isn't it necessary to look at the problem from the perspective of development? Really, four years ago, I really felt that the mathematical theory of artificial intelligence was worth our lifetime to dig deep into. But now looking back , In fact, we are already at the forefront of the world in this area, so I won’t mention your research. Lucy’s precise algorithm for searching the largest subset and the longest subsequence of two integer-valued problems last year has much impact on you. I saw it too."

"Now our center is already the world's research center for the basic theory of artificial intelligence mathematics. You, Lucy, Professor Tan, and so many of our students, if you rank them in the world, you can insert numbers from the first to the tenth. Yes! Tell me, one direction is already strong enough for this. Don’t you think that even if we lie down and do nothing now, and enjoy life every day, after decades, the old cow will have to give If you give up your seat, do you have to pass cigarettes too?"

"In other words, the goal we set four years ago has been achieved ahead of schedule! Brother Lu, but it is not enough, why? Because although Lao Niu is good at mathematics, he is really widely known for his achievements in classical mechanics , not to mention Lao Ai, for him, mathematics is weak, he won the Nobel Prize because of the discovery of the photoelectric effect, and the most well-known achievement is the theory of relativity."

"So you think, even if we continue in this direction, even if they give up their seats and pass cigarettes, they will definitely not be convinced... So just to fulfill the promise I made to you at the beginning, I have to switch to physics. Overwhelm these awesome people in all aspects, are you right? You can’t say that after they give up their seats, after lighting a cigarette, everyone chats about physics. Right?"

How should I put it, Ning Wei's affectionate words immediately made Lu Dongyi stuck, because it sounded really reasonable.

Lu Dongyi frowned and asked: "So this is why when you bewitched me, you didn't mention Cartan, Euler, Riemann, etc., and those masters whose main achievements were concentrated on the mathematical level? Ning Why, to be honest, when you asked me to change the direction of research together, did you think that you would have today? Let me make an irresponsible guess, since the year before last, you have refused the postgraduate quota given to you by the school , in the future, will you even hand over the Ning class to us, and then you will study quantum physics on your own, um...maybe in another ten years, if you recruit graduate students, you will recruit physics students?"
