Hammer of Technology

"My idea is, you help me find these brothers who meet the requirements. Let's tailor a set of exoskeleton machines for these brothers. A program can be made at the Olympic opening ceremony, so that everyone can feel the real Olympic spirit, and let the whole world know what it means to be faster, stronger and more powerful."

"Well, what the hell is this brick-moving project? You call this a brick-moving project?" Liu Wei looked at Ning Wei and confirmed.

"Trust me, if this set of equipment becomes popular in the future, it will save effort to lift bricks." Ning Wei nodded and replied.

411 short board

"What should a simple Chinese person look like? We don't need a particularly handsome and beautiful look on this kind of stage, and it's not a beauty pageant? The face only needs to show the characteristics of the Chinese people. By the way, the eyes should be designed big One point, you need big eyes, piercing eyes!"

"Meow……"

"The other thing is the program arrangement. What kind of program would you like to make? It's a pity that the laboratory can only produce ten or eight sets in such a short period of time. "

"Meow……"

"March, think of a show! According to your calculations, we should be able to complete at most twelve sets of brick-moving suits. What do twelve people have to perform in a large venue to make this show match the grand temperament of the Olympics?"

"Meow……"

"Don't just meow. Didn't I show you the preliminary planning of the Olympic opening ceremony cultural performance? You should find a way to use these resources to produce the entire program, and then integrate it with their cultural performance."

"Meow……"

"Honestly, March, don't you have any artistic cells?"

"Meow……"

……

Sure enough, people are not omnipotent.

Even though he was very ambitious when he made the decision, when he really wanted to design a show, one person and one cat were completely blinded.

The simulation in front of the computer seems to be a bit meaningless no matter how it is designed.

The problem of image design is still simple. Sanyue can use the faces of countless Asians in the comprehensive database, and according to Ning Wei's requirements, design more than a dozen different faces that can meet the facial features of Chinese people.

But designing a show for these people without colliding with other shows that have already appeared is really beyond March's ability.This level of difficulty probably surpassed that of Ning Weirang's review of papers in March. .

So it became one person and one cat started to look at each other innocently.

When Ning Wei called Chen Yanwen yesterday, he was really confident.

Although he said on the phone that it would take two days to design this program, in fact, he felt that with his and Sanyue's abilities, as long as there was no problem with Liu Wei, half a day should be enough.

But now Ning Wei discovered that he was wrong.

For him, this is also an unprecedented experience. His head is empty in the morning, which is completely opposite to when he studies knowledge... Even when reading the most boring mathematics papers, all kinds of illusions can appear in his head at the same time. The space and countless lines and curves, but when considering how to use these real people armed with brick-moving projects to design a program that can show the performance of the product, no picture flashed in my mind at all...

What's even more exasperating is that it's still this cat...

Apart from the "meow meow" answer, he did not give him any feasible suggestions, which even gave Ning Wei the urge to write another paper "On the Solution Summary of Artificial Intelligence Suddenly Becoming Artificial Mentally Disabled".

Finally, after one person and one cat stared at each other silently for a minute, Ning Wei decided to change the expression.

"In March, the current situation is like this. You know, the cultural performances of the Olympic Games are broadcast globally. Although we don't care about it, it is said that it can affect more than 50.00% of the world's population. In other words, there may be more than 30 billion people. Go and see this opening ceremony. But now, we are facing a very serious problem, we have to let others know that we have something like this, which can benefit brick-moving brothers all over the world."

"So you have to think of a way to express it, let everyone know that it will be very easy to move bricks in China in the future. In addition, this program is shown to the whole world, and it is on the special stage of the Olympic opening ceremony, so it is best to be able to In line with the Olympic spirit of higher, stronger and faster, once again as the opening ceremony of the world's largest competition, in addition to reflecting our own characteristics, it must also have a little bit of the world."

"In other words, people who grew up under the influence of other cultures in the world can also understand what we want to express. For example, the expressions of Chinese people are generally more reserved, and it needs others to think more to understand the true meaning of the expression, but On this occasion, there is no need to let others guess, especially when many people abroad are not well-educated, we just need to let them shout 'oh, my god!' is enough."

"In addition, you are also aware of the current situation. The other party thinks that our conditions are too much, and they still want to take advantage. It is best to let them know that the idea of ​​​​taking advantage of us is not good. We can give as much as we are willing to give. If they don’t want to give it, they don’t want it either, do you have any ideas now?”

This is a simplified way to communicate with machines.

It is similar to parameter adjustment, given various limiting conditions, and then let the machine design a plan within the framework of these conditions. In addition to greatly saving computing power, it can also allow artificial intelligence to better understand the needs of the owner. What, how to design to meet the owner's requirements.

"Meow……"

Ning Wei suddenly felt very relieved, because the kitten finally reacted this time, and the mouse started to circle, which meant that the backstage was preparing. Ning Wei waited patiently, and soon the kitten pulled out an animation frame, and then began to play in real time... …

The background is obviously a virtual bird's nest, and then a monkey suddenly falls from the sky...

Before Ning Wei could recover from the shock of a monkey in the opening scene, Hot Wheels appeared...

The battle between sticks and long spears started at this moment, and then a big fat man appeared with a nine-toothed rake in his hand, and a three-eyed fairy joined the battle with a dog, and then a monk with a big rosary joined in. ...

At this moment, the three-on-three fight in the animation was extremely lively, and various difficult and dazzling moves appeared one after another. They fought like this for several minutes, and suddenly they found someone watching from the sidelines...

Well, even if Ning Wei hasn't seen a few blockbuster movies, he can still recognize that it is the appearance of Spider-Man in Marvel...

Several people paused the battle and turned their heads to look at the guy floating in the sky. They felt that something was wrong. Spiderman wanted to run, but who knew that the monkey's stick hit him directly. At this time, a shield caught the stick, and the captain appeared, followed by Exaggerated Hulk, Iron Man, Wolverine, and Superman with his underwear on, and Thor with a hammer...

The moment they saw these reinforcements, the few people who were fighting fiercely just now were united in an instant. In the fast-advancing picture, the monkey led the fat man, the monk, the hot wheels, the three-eyed dog, and quickly took advantage of it. A few superheroes headed by Shield fought all over the place...

Shield, shattered; Hammer, broken; Giant, punctured...

How should I put it, as far as the animation itself is concerned, it is still very exquisite, and it is quite comfortable to watch. If you don’t pay attention to the various copyright disputes represented behind it, it will be so interesting.

But as a program at the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, it is absolutely impossible for it to be approved.

Finally, the animation disappeared, and the figure of the kitten appeared in front of Ning Wei again, and he cried out in anticipation: "Meow..."

Eyes met again, and then...

Ning Wei gave up and decided that he would never intervene in fields that he is not good at, such as rehearsing a show

But in order to encourage the kitten who was still looking at him, Ning Wei still said: "Well, the idea of ​​animation is pretty good, very good, but it's not suitable for the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games. Forget it, let's let Professionals should make the decision, and you can go to other things first.”

As he said that, Ning Wei smiled admiringly at the camera.

"Meow..." Sanyue yelled, then turned around and ran away...

It can also be seen from the last exit animation that this morning it was very difficult for the avatar kitten, and Ning Wei was tossing it miserably.

It's finally quiet now, and everything is fine except that the problem has not been resolved.

After thinking about it, Ning Wei finally decided to give up and leave professional matters to professional people, so he called Chen Yanwen...

"Hello, Director Chen, hello."

"Academician Ning, I finally waited for your call. You said the show is over?"

"This... um... Actually, it's almost the same, but some details haven't been finalized yet. I think I still need to ask you for help... That's right. Didn't you say that you hope this opening ceremony will have a sense of technology? It just so happens that we There is a project in my lab, which can be used in the opening ceremony, and the situation is roughly like this..."

In this way, Ning Wei recounted the general situation of the brick-moving project, the requirements for March just now, and his own thoughts to Chen Jianwen on the phone, and then said: "Do you understand my general meaning? Now the final details are missing, how do you think to use this group of people to intersperse the entire opening ceremony, I am not very good at this, you should make overall planning."

After talking eloquently for nearly 5 minutes, the other party didn't interrupt a word, until Ning Wei finished speaking, the other end of the phone obviously hesitated for a moment, and then asked: "Well, Academician Ning, let me smooth it out... What do you mean, Can we have about a dozen Iron Men for our opening?"

Ning Wei quickly explained: "If it's not Iron Man, it's human. Put on the exoskeleton armor and then put on a layer of electric induction skin. Basically, it still looks like a normal person, but it will appear taller. After adapting to this set After the electric drive exoskeleton device, they can accomplish some achievements that even the world's top athletes can't touch, and they can also complete many more difficult movements. However, our promotional focus still hopes to be on that layer of electric induction skin."

"Just like how many technology companies advertised their metaverse before, the future metaverse will not only deceive everyone's perspective, but also deceive everyone's five senses. Our set of electro-sensing skin will allow the experiencer to feel their body without touching the skin. It can have a sense of touch, and can feel temperature, humidity, and pressure almost perfectly through electrical signals, and can even distinguish between rough and fine, and supports remote signal transmission and post-simulation.”

The other side was silent for a long time again, until Ning Wei was about to remind the director, the voice finally came from the receiver: "Well, academician Ning, to be honest, I am a director. I don't understand how you describe me. I'm taking the liberty to ask. In a word, is this technology related to secrets? If not, can you take me to have a look? Let me have a more intuitive understanding of what you said, such as what is the image of a person after wearing this thing How about dexterity? That way I can arrange it."

"You said electric induction skin?"

"No, no, that's what I'm talking about. It would be best if someone could put on the exoskeleton armor you mentioned and look and move."

"Oh... This laboratory does have video records and ready-made products, but it's really not convenient to spread, how about I take you to the laboratory to have a look?"

"The laboratory in Beijing?"

"Well, it's in Beijing, our artificial intelligence frontier research center."

"Alright then, give me the address, and I'll rush there now."

"Um... You may not be able to go there alone, why not go to Yanbei University first, and I will take you there together."

"Okay, I'll be there in about an hour."

"Okay, then I'll wait for you!"

After hanging up the phone, Ning Wei heaved a sigh of relief, this burden can be regarded as thrown away... Very good!

……

Yanbei University, Zhihua Building, Student Discussion Center.

Ningshe is having an important meeting.

The child really listened to Ning Wei's conversation with Chen Diancheng.

After the end of the tour of the future city, after returning to school and exchanging ideas with the key members of the Ning Society several times, the general meeting of all members of the Ning Society was held.

In fact, as a student association, Ning Society seldom gathers everyone together.Most of the time, it is a small-scale meeting of various project teams within the club. After all, to become a leader in this school, everyone is very busy.Not only to be busy with schoolwork, but also various competitions, lectures, extracurricular research groups, etc. involved too much energy.

So it's actually not easy to get everyone together. Fortunately, Ningshe's appeal is there. If there are really things that everyone needs to attend as much as possible, basically no one will be absent.

The same is true today. When the meeting officially started, all 182 members of the Ning Society of Yanbei University signed in.

"Okay, I'm announcing that the meeting has now officially started. The style of our Ningshe is to talk about things, so I won't say more polite words. This time I called you here mainly to inform you of a news. After the Ningshe Organization Department After detailed discussions, we formally decided that the Ning Society will start to go out of Yanbei University, and organize and establish branches of the Ning Society in major universities in China and even the world."

"In fact, these days, we have also discussed some methods of publicity and organization, but the plans are not satisfactory, so the most important topic of this conference is how to make our Ning Society step out of Yanbei University. I hope everyone can speak freely and have You can say whatever you want. If it is finally adopted, brothers and sisters of the Ning Society, the next project you propose will be able to pass the review directly and receive the support of Ning Society's own funds."

"By the way, the most important thing is that we can get the full support of our mentor, academician Ning Wei, when we leave school this time. In other words, we can use the name of Director Ning to promote. Everyone can move towards this direction."

412 good plan

After Chen Diancheng's words fell, the talented students in the venue quickly fell into a contemplative mode.Of course, this is also normal, after all, everyone is not very proficient in this business.

But obviously the agency is very serious this time, and the conditions given are still very attractive.

After all, these people always have some fantastic ideas, and many ideas far exceed the carrying capacity of the times. It is often difficult for such projects to pass the approval.But if the idea is useful, you can get the start-up funds directly without approval, which is very NICE.

But before these people raised their hands, Chen Diancheng seemed to have thought of something, and quickly said: "By the way, let's stop doing such rude things like spending money directly! Domestic colleges and universities can subsidize a little bit, and foreign countries are full of local tyrants." , We are not that rich yet, don’t be ashamed. So we can’t get a penny out of foreign colleges and universities, but we still hope that we can have our branches in the top 100 schools in the world.”

As soon as this request was made, the venue became quieter.

Five hundred million energy spread out without frowning, and suddenly became stingy in the matter of setting up a branch, which still made everyone feel a little uncomfortable.However, what Chen Diancheng said seems to be correct, after all, there are many local tyrants abroad.

Soon everyone raised their hands and stood up to speak.

"I think we still need to make full use of our Yanbei University alumni who have gone abroad in various sessions. Since President Chen, you also said that you can use Director Ning's signboard, we can ask the school for the address book of previous alumni who went abroad, and find those who work in foreign universities. Professors and international students are here to make this happen.”

Chen Diancheng nodded, and then responded: "Well, this is a good idea, but to be honest, we have already implemented it. We have already sent emails to the alumni group who have been abroad for these years through the March system, and we have received many replies. For the time being, the effect is not very good. How should I put it, the signboard of our director Ning is super easy to use in China, but the effect outside..."

Speaking of this, Chen Diancheng touched his nose in embarrassment, and then said with a smile: "Anyway, a lot of feedback is reflected on the brand of foreign director Shu Ning, and many things are not easy to operate. Well, of course this is probably not the case. Said that they look down on our director Ning, as to why they have such an attitude, um... I think you should understand..."

The children of Ningshe nodded in understanding.

It's no secret that Ning Wei's relationship with China's foreign academic circles has not been good.

It is said that science has no borders, but I would rather explain the real situation to everyone, what is Shunchang Rebellion.In fact, the relationship between the two parties was fine when Ningwei only studied the theory, but when the smart platform was born in March, Ningwei began to establish the March Award, and the CNMD structure began to show its power in the chip field. The relationship between the two parties is actually became tense.

It is said that for a long time, "NING" was directly set as a mask word on many popular social software abroad, and Ning Wei's papers were secretly compiled into textbooks without signatures.These are enough to show that it is not a good idea to use Ningwei's signboard to build Ningshe branches abroad.

"If this is a long-term plan, we can actually count some students who are planning to study abroad in the school and the neighboring school. At least expand the Ning Club in the school. After they go out, they can establish Ning Clubs in other schools."

Someone else had an idea.

"The long-term plan is a long-term plan, but it can't be too long-term. Building a student club is a test of organizational skills and charisma. When you just go out and don't know the place well, it's hard to say that you have this kind of connections to do this kind of thing. .”

"Can we cooperate with some overseas study institutions?"

"I don't think it's good... In fact, many overseas study institutions are not reliable. The important thing is that they ask for money. Without money, these people will not pay attention..."

"There must be an important point in this matter. I think the reputation of Ningshe is still great. First of all, it should be publicized. For example, only the best students from a school can join Ningshe, and the recognition of Ningshe members in major companies How high! If this kind of propaganda work is done well, the resistance to the establishment of various Ningshe branches will definitely be much smaller.”

"This is very reasonable, but there is still a problem with Ningshe, an overseas university, such as member management. How to ensure that the principle of recruiting members of Ningshe does not change, this is a big problem. If the implementation changes, really outstanding students cannot be recruited. All they attract are parallel imports who want to be plated with gold, and the signboard will be smashed.”

"I have an idea, can we use that kind of rebellious emotion, such as using Ningban's B paper, or other relatively difficult questions to conduct the assessment of Ningshe members outside? The score check can be posted remotely in China."

……

The venue became lively, opinions were put forward one by one, and then a group of children began to debate, and all the debate process was carefully recorded.This is actually quite helpful. Many ideas may sound unrealistic, but if you follow these ideas and implement them in a different way, it becomes an excellent idea. At least the atmosphere is good.

After arguing like this for about half an hour, the atmosphere in the venue suddenly fell silent, as if at this moment, everyone's thoughts were drained.

"Well, do you have any constructive ideas? I checked. Just now, you put forward a total of [-] suggestions, which are very inspiring to us. Think again..." Chen Diancheng said again.

His task is to keep everyone excited and able to speak more.

No one spoke directly this time, and after a while, one hand was raised timidly.

Chen Diancheng knew the boy who wanted to speak. He was also Zhang Bin, a junior in the 25th grade of the Ning class. He is now a junior, and he is still in the Ning class. Officially became his younger brother.

Not only the grades are good, this junior also likes programming and is very talented. One of Ningshe's most successful software, many core codes of the super-resolution restoration algorithm are contributed by this unattractive junior.

From Chen Diancheng's point of view, the biggest shortcoming of this junior is probably that he always has no sense of presence in reality, and he doesn't like expressing much. The specific manifestation is that he is relatively introverted.Many times the parties are silent, but they can be very aggressive on the Internet and in their areas of expertise.
