Hammer of Technology

In a sense, this is actually "The Truman's World" directed by March.The fee was paid by Ning Wei himself. He just randomly took [-] billion to set up a special fund for March to carry out this spiritual spa project.Let these scientists feel that even in their hometown, they can meet old friends who are more caring than their parents.

To Ning Wei, the money was insignificant, but the effect was so good that it exploded.

Many scientists who have traveled thousands of miles to China seem to be inseparable from this kind of spiritual spa. Basically, they spend some time every week to invite these friends to meet, chat, or just have a drink...

Therefore, it is never people who understand these scientists best, but March.

This also shows from one side that money can really do whatever it wants.Of course, these are just worries for Edwin George, and they can't change anything.Because his second-hand yacht has been bought.

The idyllic, a yacht produced by Benedi in Italy in 2008, is 58.5 meters long and 9.5 meters wide at its widest point, with a maximum speed of 34 knots and a cruising speed of 17 knots. It has already touched the edge of a super yacht.What satisfied Edwin George the most was that both the exterior and interior decoration of this yacht were designed by world-renowned designers, which fit his aesthetics very well.

Of course, because of the addition of these elements he likes, the price is not cheap, and the resale price is 2430 million US dollars.After all, it has a history of 20 years. According to professional evaluation, the daily maintenance of this yacht is still very good. As long as the follow-up maintenance is obtained, it will not be a big problem to use it for another 30 years, but if you want the best experience, you still have to spend A sum of money to do some renovations on the interior, for which he will pay about another 200 million US dollars.

If adding the fixed annual maintenance fee in the future, no matter how worried Edwin George was, he couldn't stop.Fortunately, the impact on cern is indeed not great now, at least the committee has not paid attention to these.

But this is not the case for many universities that cooperate with cern, especially some well-known universities, because of the siphon effect.

Like MIT.

In just three months, the school board found that four professors from the School of Mathematics and Physics had submitted their resignations.

This is not a very common occurrence.

In fact, the positions of university professors are generally relatively stable.

Especially the top Ivy League schools like Harvard, Berkeley, and MIT.Professors, like any other profession, can of course be mobile.But it should not be too frequent flow in a short period of time.

When yet another math professor wanted to take an extended vacation, MIT math department chair Michael Kurusman sensed something was amiss.

"Kerry, can you tell me why? It's spring break soon. If you need a vacation, you can wait until next month's spring vacation. I can give you a few more days. Of course, I'm not interfering in your private life. But it doesn't look like you're unwell."

"Oh, Michael, I'm not going on vacation. It's actually a friend of mine who's running into some bottlenecks in a piece of research he's doing and wants me to help him with some math analysis. If all goes well, I will probably be back before the spring break." The professor spread his hands and replied.

"A friend? May I ask which friend it is?"

"Ahem...Michael..."

"Kerry, is it really so embarrassing to say? Or do you have other concerns?"

The mathematics professor hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "Well, my friend is actually Benjamin."

"Benjamin Carter? Huh... Kerry, he is indeed a good person. I heard that he went to China after he resigned from school?"

"Yes, Michael, well, how should I put it, we have a good relationship, and he wants me to help him."

"Why can't this problem be solved remotely?"

"Ah... you know, Michael, some data is subject to a non-disclosure agreement. Well, I just need a month off, so I can't ask for it?"

"That's not the case, but there have been some very bad precedents. Someone asked for leave and then submitted his resignation directly. This is a big problem for school management. We all have to be responsible to the students, aren't we?"

"Yes, but I won't! Michael!"

"Let's wait, Kerry, really, spring break is only over a month away, why are you in such a hurry? Or are you not satisfied here? If you have any other ideas, we can talk about it. "

"..."

……

Soon, this incident was reported to the school management office.

After all, MIT is a private university. As we all know, private universities still have high requirements for the stability of professors, which is related to the reputation of the school and the collection of tuition fees.At this point, capitalists still retain the most basic moral sentiment.

Although the tuition fees are high, at least it guarantees that you get what you pay for. It ensures that although students studying here will have to bear heavy student loans after graduation, they can at least enjoy the world's top teaching resources and relative superiority. teaching environment.

It is not good news that so many professors in the school have resigned in a short period of time, and they are still focusing on the two important majors of mathematics and physics.

After all, excellent mathematics and physics professors are not so easy to find. They can tolerate normal personnel turnover, but they absolutely cannot tolerate a large number of brain drains in a short period of time.

And when these school directors began to notice this incident and began to understand the relevant situation in detail, they immediately discovered that it was not just MIT that had a similar situation.Similar situations have emerged including Stanford, Columbia University, Dartmouth College, Brown University, etc...

Counting, more than a dozen professors have chosen to resign and left their teaching positions in the past three months.

this……

This problem is really big!

473 A Good Man Would Rather

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, we were greeted and sent off, but Ning Wei was very busy.

Fortunately, it has been like this in recent years, and he is used to it.With the improvement of status, more and more people came to visit during the Spring Festival, and more and more people needed to visit, which made Ningwei feel that he might as well stay in the laboratory.

It's a pity that with Xiao Ningke, I can no longer be willful.

Ning Ke is extroverted and likes to be lively. Whenever guests come to the house, he will be very excited and happy.The advantage of this personality is that within two days of going to kindergarten, I got acquainted with teachers and children.Other children cried heart-rendingly at the entrance of the kindergarten, as if they were parting from life and death, she would go up to pat their little shoulders in a friendly way, and very arrogantly dragged the crying children into the campus, very big sister Big panache.

how to say……

Anyway, this temperament is neither like Jiang Chenshuang nor Ning Wei, it is comparable to Jiang Chenlu.This once made Ning Wei feel a little sad, because the childhood of geniuses written in the book is often incompatible with ordinary people, which probably means that Ning Wei did not inherit the talent he didn't know where he came from.

But the problem is not too big. As a parent, I just hope that my children can grow up happily. Anyway, the family is not short of money.

Under the advice of the bank's senior account manager, Ning Wei has prepared a variety of trust products for his family.Even if he has no successors or dies unexpectedly, these products are enough for the whole family to live a good life for a lifetime.

It's not that you don't have confidence in your body, the key is that once a person is addicted to dancing on the tip of the knife, he still needs to have a certain sense of risk.Ningwei's awareness of this point is very advanced.

And next month will be the due date of Jiang Chenshuang's second child. If there are no accidents, the baby in Chenshuang's belly will arrive on March No. 12.

Of course, it is normal to have a baby a few days earlier or a few days later, but Zhang Dingxi still stood up. After discussing with several major companies, he decided to make preparations for the release of new products equipped with Ningxin and [-]D displays. On the day the second child was born, the sale officially started.

This decision is somewhat arbitrary.In fact, according to the current stocking situation, this Spring Festival can already meet the conditions for sale.It is naturally good for companies to start making money one day earlier.Moreover, it is somewhat troublesome to prepare for a product launch.

But Zhang Dingxi brought up this matter, and with the full support of Li Jingwen, the soul of Ning Xin, everyone has nothing to say.You can only start preparing first.But then again, the pressure to prepare for an extra month is not too great.According to the current market research, the public's willingness to purchase [-]D display products is still very high, so this is not a big problem.

Ning Wei didn't know about it yet, and no one mentioned it to him.He also has no time to take into account the sale of [-]D display products.People all over the world can testify to this.Originally, the Spring Festival Gala invited him to pick a time slot, find a branch venue, and talk about the enjoyment of future technological development, but Ning Wei politely declined, and naturally he was too lazy to plan these things for fame.

He has put all his energy into the practice of the new theory.

It's not that he's sick of scientific research, but Ning Wei can feel the excitement from the bottom of his heart when he thinks that he will have the opportunity to travel in space on a spaceship designed according to his theory.

That is really traveling in space, and you may have the opportunity to observe the magnificent nebula at close range and appreciate the natural beauty of the universe.It's not the gimmicky so-called space experience like those rich people who fly a circle outside the earth before landing.

So he had to hurry up and find a way to enter the short space.

During this period of time, the scientists introduced from abroad are also very powerful, and various projects are advancing in an orderly manner.And Ning Wei also discovered that the laboratory has more benefits from Western scientists. For example, they are not cold about the Spring Festival, and no one thinks that the Chinese New Year should be a holiday. I can stay in the laboratory without complaint and work on the projects I am responsible for.

This is very nice!

As long as more foreign talents can be introduced, the demand for vacations can be staggered.Everyone has a holiday according to their nationality, such as Christmas, these foreign scientists can take a few more days off, and the main tasks are left to the Huaxia staff in the laboratory. With the minimum of complaints, we can achieve the goal of the laboratory to be open all year round...

Of course, the premise is that the introduction work can go smoothly.At the very least, thousands of high-end scholars have joined the laboratory like cern.However, Ning Wei is still full of confidence. Sanyue, who is becoming more and more proficient in human nature, has now brought the talent introduction work into a very virtuous cycle.

The scientists who defected to the basic test base were no longer limited to the recommendation and introduction of Edwin George.After doing one thing for a long time, who doesn't have a few close friends?Staying comfortably, calling friends is the basic operation.

And Ning Wei really found that those scientists who are very curious about scientific research are still very cute.Most of them don't have high material pursuits, and don't think too much about messy things.For them, scientific research assistants like San Yue are the rarest thing for them.

After all, who would not care about a super laboratory assistant who is lying there seductive when nothing is wrong, and can give research assistance immediately with a "meow" when something is wrong?Moreover, the progress of mathematical analysis and simulation is very fast. The results that used to have to wait for two or three days can basically be reported on the same day.In the past, it took several weeks or even months to wait for the results of large-scale and complex calculations, but now the news is basically available within half a month.

This efficiency is also enough to make people fall in love with the scientific research environment here.

In addition, after coming out of the laboratory, when you want to relax, you can still find one or two confidantes for a drink. This environment is truly invincible.

This also made Ning Wei very satisfied.

After all, the salaries of these professors are actually not high. With the basic life already perfectly guaranteed, most of them pursue spiritual satisfaction.Especially for many scientists who like to express themselves, with March as a caring assistant, they can also use Huaxia Internet products without any barriers, which makes people feel more comfortable.

It is especially counter-intuitive that the vast majority of ordinary people in China subconsciously respect knowledge and senior intellectuals more than ordinary people in the West. This is the reason why many cultural people can become famous.It's a pity that many people don't cherish this identity, and play the originally commendable term "highly educated group" as "brick family".

For example, when such scientists want to popularize science on the Internet in their spare time, March can help them apply for a set of accounts for various Internet products, such as Penguin Weibo, Zhiwu, etc., and can also translate the things these people want to publish in real time. into Chinese, and simultaneously convert those Chinese questions in the comment area into English, or other languages...

Don't be afraid that no one will read these speeches, after all there is this little cutie like March...

Although it complies with China's artificial intelligence law and has only one account on each social platform, this does not prevent it from explaining the algorithms of each platform in detail, and then accurately pushes the content to those who like this knowledge to help These scientists have captured a large number of fans in China.Every public speech can receive countless replies and questions very quickly, and it can also allow these scientists to quickly gain a sense of belonging in China.

In short, Sanyue really followed Ning Wei's request and served these scientists who traveled thousands of miles to China to contribute to the advancement of science and technology in the world.These scientists are naturally willing to invite three or five friends to fight together.

So in fact Edwin George's data is not accurate. From his point of view, more than 40 scientists and professors have gone to China in the past three months, but in fact, the laboratory for researching new theoretical foundations has hired 127 resident foreign scholars.

These have been tested, and they are indeed the talents that are urgently needed in the laboratory.

Those who did not meet the requirements were politely persuaded to return.For example, the two physicists who went to China and then returned to Cern, the reason on the surface was that the salary could not meet their requirements, but in fact it was because the needs did not match.If it is really useful, Ning Wei is really willing to give top-level treatment.

Not to mention that the country has allocated funds for this research, even if he pays for it himself, he will keep people.

In short, in this Spring Festival, Ning Wei feels that everything is developing in a good direction.If there is no accident, he is almost [-]% confident that he can complete the most important task in the first ten-year plan ahead of schedule - finding a way to enter the short-term space in the macro world.

But this world is like this. When people's expectations for something are based on the premise that there will be no accidents, accidents will often occur.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, when Ning Weizheng was planning to take classmate Jiang and Ning Ke to visit the homes of those seniors who had been helping him, as in previous years, he received a call from the laboratory.

"Hi, Ning, I'm Benjamin, you should remember me, right?"

At this time, the benefits of memory are reflected.

Ning Wei immediately recalled the image of the white man with the big beard who seldom took care of himself, and also remembered that the professor was from MIT with outstanding abilities.Currently responsible for the precise measurement and analysis of energy spectra in some specific spaces.A very important project, mainly to provide data support for finding the entrance to the short-foot space, and to help March carry out mathematical modeling.

"Of course, Professor Carter, you are one of the most rigorous professors in physics research I have met in these years, how could I not remember? We also sat together and discussed many issues, and your views have benefited me a lot ! Do you want to find me today?"

Ning Wei flattered this Professor Carter indiscriminately, which also made his tone less irritable.

"Haha, Ning, you are too humble! I must have benefited a lot from the conversation that day! The thing is like this, do you still remember that I mentioned to you a friend I worked with in mit before?"

Ning Wei asked politely: "Are you talking about Professor Kerry Rodman?"

"That's right, that's him. I remember telling you that we worked together before and had a great time working together. If he can come, it will greatly speed up the progress! We have already agreed that he will come the day after tomorrow Huaxia, but he called me today, not only did the school not approve his vacation, the board of directors even used despicable means to defraud him of his passport!"

The voice from the microphone became angry, and at the same time Ning Wei also began to feel annoyed...

Scam your passport?Is the operation of well-known schools so coquettish now?

"Wait, Professor Carter, what happened? Why did the school detain his passport? It doesn't make sense!"

"Why else! Those shameful bureaucrats don't want him to come to China! They even want to deprive my friend of the right to choose freely! My God! I can't even think about what they dare to do to my friend! After all, This kind of thing happened because I invited him, can you understand my mood?"

"Of course, Professor Carter, I can understand! I think I already understand why, really, Professor Carter, I actually understand what happened! With all due respect, mit being a private school, I doubt they put your friend , and those professors have achieved their profit-making tools! Rather than the backbone of the world's scientific progress and productivity liberation! They are not even willing to give you the most basic respect and power!"

"I can't believe that your friends are being treated like this! They are not willing to give the most important scientists in the world even the most basic respect for a small profit! God, I don't understand! Choice is the most basic human right! Science has always been without borders! The choice of free will should not be interfered by anyone!"

Ning Wei spoke indignantly until finally he softened his tone and asked seriously on the phone: "Okay, Professor Carter, do you trust me?"

"Of course, Ning, if it's trust, I won't call you."

"Thank you for your trust, Professor Carter. Since you trust me, can you leave this matter to me? Please believe me, even if I am just from the perspective of a friend, I will never stand by and watch as the most human being born Basic rights are being trampled on by these black-hearted capitalists at will! I will do my best to ensure that your friends have the right to choose. You just need to work with peace of mind!"

"Okay, Ning, I think what you said is so right! Those damned guys just use us as a tool for profit. Did you know that mit's annual tuition fee increase is maintained at 5%, but our salary increase is only 1.1%! They verbally encourage the flow of teaching resources, but when they find that the flow has affected them to make money, they start to restrict. What they respect is never science, but the money in their pockets! Thank you, Ning, on behalf of my friends you!"

"Don't say that, Professor Carter, in China, like-minded people don't need to say thank you for helping each other! After all, we are all walking together for the same goal! In China, this kind of relationship is called comradeship. In your words, we They are all helping each other!"

"Ning, you are not only a genius, but also a good person!"

"Um……"

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

474 Get out!

Ning Wei discovered that foreigners especially like to say the word "good guy" on their lips, which probably means that they haven't come to do as the Romans do.After all, the word "good man" in Huaxia carries too many things, and Ning Wei consciously can't afford it.

But in this matter, Ning Weishi really intends to be a good person, of course it is purely on the moral level.

Natural human rights are the rules set by Western capitalism, and science without borders is also the slogan shouted by the people there. Ning Wei feels that the operation of his own laboratory is completely carried out under the rules set by the other party. How can it be so inexplicable? What about restricting the normal movement of people? !

This is unreasonable and unscientific, and it will cause trouble for people who are older than the Chinese New Year, so we can't get used to it.

What makes Ning Wei feel worthless for these scientists is that those capitalists are too bullying.

Tuition fees increase by 5.00% every year, and professor salaries only increase by [-]%. Can this be tolerated?Ning Wei also has the title of professor on his head, and he has taught undergraduates. A professor must at least supervise dozens of students every year. If he is in charge of public lectures, he may even be in charge of hundreds of students. Graduate students will do it for them, but they still have to pay.

In Ning Wei's view, this means that those people in the west are more embarrassed to bully these professors, and they are too embarrassed to go to the street with a group of people to shout, so they have to bully them vigorously, which is obviously not possible.The most important thing is that these people don't talk about human rights!

Even if it is only from the perspective of justice, this practice of contempt for human rights must be criticized.

After hanging up the phone, Ning Wei fell into deep thought.

There is still a great demand for scientists with basic scientific literacy to realize his macro vision. If a large number of talents are restricted, it means that the timeline of technological innovation will be pushed back, which he cannot bear.

Especially after hundreds of physicists were added to the laboratory, March had already summed up the changes that these new forces had brought to the overall experimental environment.How should I put it, these foreign physicists and mathematicians are more open-minded than the local experts and professors in China, especially after the assistance of March, they are more daring to pursue some creative and innovative methods to solve the problem. Specific issues.

Scientists in China are more stable, preferring to use proven mature and reliable methods for calculation and research and development, and are more risk-averse.

Scientists from abroad often don't pay attention to such things as resource utilization rate at all, and don't feel bad at all if they are wasted; compared with local scientists in China, they are much more frugal.Combining the two sides, plus having three months to make a comprehensive judgment, can often maximize efficiency.
