Hammer of Technology

Hearing this, Ning Wei also regained his energy, looked at Lu Dongyi seriously and said, "Senior Brother Lu, how old are you this year?"

"32, what?"

"Then it's time to talk about a girlfriend."

"Then let me ask you, how did you and classmate Jiang reach this Nash equilibrium state so quickly." Lu Dongyi asked seriously.

Well, with a few simple words, the two of them have naturally walked towards Ning Wei's home, which made Ning Wei feel very comfortable, so he replied seriously: "No, Senior Brother Lu, you can't use such things as love. To understand from a simple two-party game, if you only consider how to map the income function of both participants to the global potential function, that is, the final marriage, then you may not be able to reach the Nash equilibrium in your life. Because the potential function is required to achieve the Nash equilibrium There is a consistent trend with every participant, and the most critical love and marriage do not necessarily have a global and unique solution."

"Oh, you continue." Lu Dongyi nodded and continued.

"If you must introduce a game, it is also a very complicated game. First of all, you have to know your own needs? For example, if you want your future spouse to cooperate with you to publish papers, then you have to spend more time with unmarried girls. Professor communication, to enjoy the kind of game that can carry out knowledge exchange and IQ collision anytime, anywhere..."

"Stop, I think mathematical thinking is a very personal matter. Normally, I don't want to have too many ineffective exchanges." Lu Dongyi interrupted Ning Wei.

"Oh, so you need someone who is very sensible, as long as you take care of your daily life silently, such as reminding you to eat on time, helping you wash your clothes, of course you can chat with her when you are fine, but start thinking about mathematics She can take care of your work in an empathetic way, and won't interrupt your thoughts at all, right?" Ning Wei said in an empathetic manner.

Lu Dongyi thought for a while, then nodded.

Ning Wei patted Lu Dongyi on the shoulder, and said seriously: "Such a girl really exists, but unfortunately, Senior Brother Lu, you are one step too late. I plan to marry her next year. But don't worry, Senior Brother Lu, we will work hard from now on. , strive to create a robot girlfriend that can be customized according to individual requirements within ten years, and when we have this technology, the first thing we will do is to develop an auxiliary robot of this kind for you."

"Is it really so hard to find?" Lu Dongyi asked in confusion.

"Of course, let me analyze it with you. I still use a theory that you can understand. According to the characteristics of your needs, your utility is infinitesimal in this marriage game. If you want to reach the Nash equilibrium, you need the other party The utility of is infinitely magnified, so it is possible to achieve a pure Nash equilibrium when it is brought into the utility potential function, right?" Ning Wei asked.

Lu Dongyi nodded.

Ning Wei said proudly with his hands on his hips: "So, where do you go to find someone who is willing to make your own utility infinitely magnified in the game to satisfy your infinitely small utility? If you count all the required dimensions, loyalty, gratitude, Kindness, housekeeping... Do you think it is difficult? Of course, if you really meet a girl like this in ten years, I suggest you never let it go! You can consult me ​​at that time, after all, I have experience in this area Very rich."

……

No matter what, Lu Dongyi still ate a delicious oil-splashed noodle with Ning Wei's light. Of course, this is thanks to Jiang's generous preparation.After eating, Lu Dongyi resolutely said goodbye, leaving space for the two people who had been separated for a long time.

That's right, before Jiang Chenlu came back, there were only these two people in the family.So before classmate Jiang realized what happened, she found that she was already in Ning Wei's arms.

"Let me tell you, Senior Brother Lu is very excited."

"Oh, with Brother Lu's ability, he will definitely find a good one."

"I find it difficult."

"Huh? Why?"

"Don't you think Brother Lu is good at mathematics but doesn't understand girls at all?"

"This, don't you understand it well?"

This question made Ning Wei a little stuck, and after thinking about it carefully, he had to admit that he didn't seem to understand it, so he answered confidently: "But I'm luckier than Senior Brother Lu!"

This answer was so invincible that Jiang was speechless.

"By the way, Director Tian will call me tonight. A reporter will go to the research center to interview me tomorrow. Maybe I will be on TV again."

"Then you have to dress more formally tomorrow, and I will help you choose tomorrow's clothes later, don't dress too casually."

"Well, it's all up to you."

……

The uproar brought about by Ning Wei after winning the award lasted for three full days. First, he accepted an interview with CCTV. Facing the camera, Ning Wei, who is already a doctor, behaved much calmer, a little less frivolous than when he was an undergraduate, of course more A bit of a calm and breezy demeanor, and contributed a lot of golden sentences to the Internet.

"Actually, I think the media doesn't need to use the youngest gimmick to attract the public, because many great achievements in mathematics in history were actually made when they were young. For example, Lagrange created the variational method at the age of 19, which is similar to those in history. Compared with my math genius, 23 years old is actually very old, and I really have nothing to be proud of."

"I don't think I belong to the rich, because my wealth is too poor compared to many of my ideas. Probably because I want to do a lot of things, but my money is too little, at least for now. , I can’t afford to realize many ideas in my head one by one, so I am still very interested in big money.”

"The feeling of winning the award is probably that I am very happy that someone can recognize my research. The award mainly represents a kind of recognition. As for whether I can win the Fields Medal in the future, I think it is still difficult. The biggest difficulty is probably that I don’t know how many achievements I have to make to make some people pinch their noses and award me this world-wide award.”

"To be honest, this is actually quite challenging. I also have my own news channel, because I have offended some people who are very powerful in the world before. Many of these people are big shots. Many of them are not I hope I can have more influence, it is naturally very difficult to win an award."

"Not to offend people? Haha, it is probably impossible not to offend people at the moment. There is no way to do it. Is it because of personality? It's not just a conflict of scientific ideas, the key is a problem of cognition of the world. It is a question of who controls the standard. Technology is the primary productive force."

"And from a scientific point of view, I think this is actually a very interesting thing. I think that for a scientist with a standpoint, the highest reward is not to win various awards, they are all bonus merits, On the contrary, it is the highest praise that countless foreign colleagues can see me gnashing my teeth, but have to use my theories to guide their research. To paraphrase the words on the Internet, that is the most favorite foreign colleagues who obviously want to kill me, but take I look helpless."

……

Facts have proved that CCTV is still reliable, and did not release all of this interview without reservation, and many of the words were edited.Even the relatively tame part of the interview was on the news again.

But on the well-developed Internet media, Ning Wei's interview still became popular.Especially the sentence that I have not only offended many people, but I will continue to offend many people tirelessly, that remark has been talked about by countless netizens, and kindly coined a new word for Ning Wei - "Niu Ren Niu Yu Yu" .

The online definition of this word, someone as awesome as Ning Wei, has to say awesome things.

Of course, such things as "I am 23 years old this year, but I am actually very old.", "It is impossible not to offend others.", "The highest academic praise is to make my foreign colleagues hate me so much that I have to hold my nose and use my theory. .” These words also became popular, and when I opened the small video software, they had been translated into various jokes.

The controversy caused by these interviews is naturally still there, and it is very large.

The main controversy probably focused on whether Ning Wei's current achievements can support what he said. This is obviously a matter of opinion, so the evaluation is also different. Some people think that young people should have this kind of energy, and some people Thinking that Ning Wei's attitude is not the attitude of a serious academic person, it is too arrogant and too drifting, and even the latter view still occupies the mainstream.

As for the mathematics community, there are not many people who speak out, and there are actually quite a few other cross-border evaluations, which are generally similar to laymen. There are people who like him, and more people who don't like Ningwei.It's just that most of the serious bigwigs in the entire Chinese academic circle have not spoken out.

But one thing is indisputable, most of those who like Ningwei are true love, although the master did not speak out on the Internet at all, but there are all kinds of maintenance speeches everywhere on the Internet.

So, just like that, after winning the Chern Prize in Mathematics, Ning Wei became the most influential academic star in China in 2022 by virtue of his strength and outstanding remarks. !

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

233 What exactly do you want to do?

It is already very cold outside the capital in December, especially for Ning Wei, who is from the south, whenever the wind blows, he will really feel the pain of being cut by the face of the cold wind.However, the wind in the capital is still strong and evil.

But the low temperature obviously did not dampen the enthusiasm of a certain young man. On the contrary, after accepting the interview with CCTV, Ningwei became more and more active, and began to let himself go amidst countless controversies.

And this kind of self-release can be said to be all-round.

When spacex took off for the second space tour group, this time with eight space tour groups around the earth three times, after the successful return, Musk once again emphasized the goal he had set, to send A million people landed on Mars.

In response to the video of the speech sent back to China, Ning Wei mercilessly posted a long Weibo "Three Questions to Musk".

The article is very long, more than 1000 words. To put it simply, Ning Wei asked three questions from the technical level, probably asking Lao Ma if he understands how much spaceships human beings need for the migration of millions of people, and how to ensure that The supply of living materials for millions of people and the ability to ensure the withdrawal of large-scale immigrants, and how to restore the natural environment of Mars in only 30 years so that it can adapt to human survival.

At the end of the article, Ning Wei directly counted all the things Musk did as a successful businessman that conformed to business logic but trampled on the bottom line of human morality.And directly shouted on the Internet, if humans need to immigrate millions of people to Mars in only 30 years to ensure the ecological environment of the earth, then why didn't Musk first transform the environment on the earth that is not suitable for human survival, such as Develop deserts in an orderly manner, such as transforming desert islands deep in the ocean, so that they have the basic conditions for the survival and reproduction of modern humans. After all, these transformations on the earth are definitely much easier than transforming Mars.

It is even more fierce sarcasm. The reason why Musk dare not brag about this kind of bullshit is because it is too easy to be punctured. As for the 30-year matter, he can basically blow it up as he wants. In the end, he just threw out a sentence: "People who don't even understand autopilot have an unrealistic delusion to challenge and conquer a planet that is about 15 kilometers away from the earth every 5500 years. Ma, your human design should collapse. "

Not to mention Ning Wei's influence on the Internet, taking advantage of the momentum of having just won the Chern Mathematics Award, there have been extremely heated discussions on the Internet about Ning Wei's various outrageous remarks, so this blog post has once again sparked various controversies , and soon Weibo fell again.

After all, this horse boss has countless fans all over the world. Whether it is Tesla or SpaceX, he has indeed made a lot of achievements, and his boasting was once realized.Even in China, there are not a few people who believe in the Ma leader, and many of them are even high-spirited groups.

It is conceivable how much repercussions Ning Wei's long blog post caused, especially when Ning Wei didn't close the comments, so the comment area was filled with all kinds of scolding almost immediately.

Of course, Ning Wei has long been used to being scolded, and meaningless abuse basically does no harm.But for those who @ him and started to give him various technical details, Ning Wei's Weibo also began to fight back.It is all the most hard-core content, earth orbit, Mars orbit, a [-]-person spacecraft plus the rocket carrying capacity required for several months of supplies, and the size of the spacecraft. If you want to withdraw this batch of humans, you need to carry double the supplies. To meet the supplies needed by a hundred people to live on Mars for a year...

A very meticulous calculation process. The various formula data of human beings sending probes and rovers to Mars for a limited number of times were found out, and then calculations were started. The discussion on the heavy radiation on the surface of Mars, under the current conditions of the earth, wants to be large. The technical difficulties of mass immigration have been demonstrated one by one through rigorous formulas.Even through various mathematical and physical theories, several methods of carrying and returning were proposed, and then the technical difficulties were raised one by one...

Every time a variety of arguments are released, Ning Wei never forgets to sneer on Weibo, such as "The old horse said that immigrating to Mars is as easy as going around the earth. Do you really believe it? He said that the shit on Mars is delicious. Are you going to line up to go to Mars to eat shit? So idiots are contagious, right?"

Another example is "Old Ma, don't say anything, please use your wisdom to answer a primary school student's question, are you purely stupid or purely bad?"

The debate lasted for two full weeks. Ning Wei posted hundreds of microblogs, throwing out more than 2000 pictures of various calculation processes, almost all of which were densely packed with various complex mathematical or physical equations, but basically except for the last microblog For conclusions written in words on the blog, only one in a million netizens can understand the calculation process.

This once led to relatively less scolding in the comment area for a certain period of time.Of course, it’s only relative, in fact, the scolding is not necessarily less, the main reason is that countless melon eaters who never commented have been blown out.

"Damn it, what the hell is this Weibo? I went to work overtime for a week and couldn't get online. Has Weibo already started grabbing Zhihu and HowNet's business?"

"Ningwei Xueshen thinks highly of me. The calculation process he posted, as long as I can understand a picture, my university mathematics and physics teachers will burst into tears."

"In the history of Weibo, Wrong is the most hard-core quarrel on the whole network. There is no one. There is really someone who can be serious enough to conduct such a hard-core science popularization on the Internet. Of course, if Ningwei Dashen can use a language that people can understand. Best!"

"I decided to contribute the first comment on Weibo, it's awesome! I randomly took a set of pictures to ask my tutor, but my tutor asked me to make a mathematical model from the earth to Mars, and said that I have this ability , I quickly introduced Mr. Ning’s Weibo to the tutor, and the tutor was stunned after reading it!”

"Mmp! It's agreed that everyone has a nine-year compulsory education, but if I can recognize a symbol on these pictures, I won't blame my elementary school teacher. Could it be that my math is really taught by the physical education teacher?"

"Just now, I came across a question on Zhihu. The question is how far can a person be ignorant. I saw an answer, and all the pictures were taken by Ningwei Xueshen. Buddha, what a god, how ignorant can people be? I don't know to what extent, but I can be so ignorant that I can't understand a single punctuation mark in these pictures."

"Long time to see the series, I only heard about mathematicians before, and now I know how awesome mathematicians are."

"I am currently studying for a Ph.D. in science at a 211 university. My sister sent me Dr. Ning Wei's Weibo and asked me to help her interpret how the conclusions were obtained through those calculations. I was stunned after reading it! I heard that Ning Wei Since the master is also a Ph.D. student, I want to ask if the master doesn’t even have to think about graduation? With this skill, he can write dozens of papers, right? Can’t afford it, can’t afford it!”

……

Really, God knows how many people who have never been on Weibo have been blown out by Ningwei's operation.Judging from the speed of Weibo updates, except for the time period from 1:6 am to [-]:[-] am when there is no movement, Ning Wei seems to have been fighting for this matter at other times.

The direct effect was that the topic of emigrating to Mars spread around the world at the speed of light from the second day of the debate. With the help of a group of people who watched the excitement, Ning Wei’s Weibo began to broadcast live to the world simultaneously. As a result, various public opinion vortexes were opened again, and even the German sat1 and French France TV jointly launched a special program "Musk's Mars Plan Revealed".

The content of the program is actually to invite two relevant experts to interpret those Weibo posts by Ning Wei in an extremely relaxed way.For example, simply tell everyone what the formulas announced by Ningwei roughly mean, and then interpret whether the cynicism in Weibo makes sense. The rhetoric is ironic.

This once again made many people extremely angry, especially Boss Ma, who was in the whirlpool, was even more annoyed.

Los Angeles, California, Bel Air neighborhood, Elon Musk spent several hours in his mansion before roughly browsing through the content of Weibo published by Ning Wei.

In fact, he received the news the night Ning Wei posted that long Weibo, but Musk didn't care at that time.

After all, it is not once or twice that he has been criticized like this. Almost every time he participates in activities, gives speeches or expresses some advanced opinions in front of the media, it will cause some doubts.As long as you don't pay attention to these doubts, it will soon die down.

And things were going great. Spacex's manned dragon spacecraft was launched for the second time, and the perfect recovery after successfully carrying people around the earth orbit three times has already caused the valuation of spacex to soar. Investors are rejoicing, and everything is going well, so he said He reiterated his previous rhetoric again.

Yes, although spacex is not listed, as long as the valuation continues to rise, it is enough to satisfy investors.Not to mention the success of this flight, which directly caused the price of dogecoin to experience a surge.After all, many people are hyping in the currency circle. Buying dogecoin with Musk’s platform is equivalent to buying the original shares of spacex.

Not to mention the further increase in the valuation of spacex, which also led to the improvement of Tesla's stock, which also belongs to Master. After the US technology stocks had just been hit hard collectively, they finally began to recover slowly.

But who would have thought that a young mathematician with great influence in China would suddenly jump out and start to be tough with him, but his fans in China would argue with this young mathematician, and then lead to this series of accidents... …

Yes, it was an accident, because after the public opinion fermented, countless reporters saw the topic, so many scientists who were unhappy with him also stood up and began to be interviewed, and put forward their own opinions on Musk's immigration theory in a more gentle manner. some perceptions, and these perceptions are mostly negative.

For example, a very well-known American astrophysicist directly described him as "a romantic and wealthy poet." At first, it seems to be a compliment to him, but if you look deeper, how could any poet complete the human migration to Mars? ambition?

Of course, there are more unkind remarks. For example, a European scientist working at cern commented: "I don't know the controversy you mentioned, and I don't have time to understand it. But in 30 years, millions of people will immigrate to Mars? Well, This sounds beautiful, but does anyone really believe what a businessman says? We all know that businessmen dare to say anything for money. If I had to judge, we could send two astronauts to Mars in 30 years, short Bringing them back safely after staying here is already a victory for all mankind.

So the effect is also obvious. The price of dogecoin suddenly plummeted without warning. What is even more worrying is that Tesla, whose stock price has finally begun to show signs of recovery, has also begun to fall. Do bother?

"Is Ning Wei crazy? Have we offended him?" Elon Musk asked loudly as he dropped a thick stack of documents on the table.

In fact, this kind of talk is not easy to answer, but as Musk's assistant, Julien Dreyer understands that if he doesn't say a word at this time, it will probably make the boss even more angry, so he can only bite the bullet and answer: "In fact, he This is not the first time, on the last day of September, he attacked the concept stocks of the entire Metaverse.”

"So what's in it for him?" Musk continued.

It's really difficult to answer this question. God knows what good it is for Ning Wei to be so annoying.

……

In fact, not only Elon Musk wants to know the answer to this question, but Ningwei’s mentor Tian Yanzhen also wants to know the answer to this question.

He even went to Ningwei's office to discuss this issue with his students: "What are you thinking?"

Ning Wei was not surprised. In fact, he had thought everything through when he started doing this.It is certainly impossible for a tutor to see that his students are not doing their jobs properly and remain indifferent.

Then he replied: "Director Tian, ​​if I say that this is a struggle for the truth of mankind, can you accept this explanation?"

Tian Yanzhen didn't say a word, just watched Ning Wei quietly, watching how his talented student who never followed the routine continued to act.

"Okay, Director Tian, ​​I simply think that winning the award and gaining prestige, of course I should use it and work hard for my own ideals." Ning Wei changed his tone.

Just at this time, Lu Dongyi walked into Ningwei's office with a stack of documents. The moment he saw Tian Yanzhen, the assistant professor thought about it, and then planned to leave first, and come back to discuss with Ningwei later.

"Director Tian, ​​please do your work first, I'll come back later."

"Wait, Dongyi, can you tell me what Ningwei wants to do?" Tian Yanzhen stopped Lu Dongyi and asked the same question again.

"Uh..." Lu Dongyi glanced at Ning Wei, and then tentatively replied: "Young junior brother is working hard to popularize basic scientific principles, shouldn't this be considered a mistake?"

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

234 Stressful Mountain

In fact, Tian Yan really knew that Lu Dongyi was being biased by Ning Wei. This can be seen from Lu Dongyi's initiative to report and change the research topic.But what Tian Yan really didn't expect was that this was no longer as simple as being biased. Lu Dongyi looked like he had been brainwashed by Ning Wei.

You must know that Lu Dongyi has always been a typical reassuring scientific research personality. The only shortcoming is probably that he will be a little dull in life.But now Lu Dongyi's biggest problem is that he doesn't think that Ning Wei's daily remarks are a waste of time, but he thinks they are right.

Isn't this brainwashing?

Popular science is indeed popular science. Who among all serious scientists will take Elon Musk’s words seriously?Whether it is making an application-level simulated artificial intelligence robot, or the so-called immigration to Mars within 30 years, anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is just for his business logic.The difficulty is great, after all, what this guy said is basically impossible things that can be figured out after thinking about it.

In other words, business has the logic of the business circle, and scientific research has the logic of the scientific research circle.The two logics have never been in harmony. What Ning Wei does is to mix the logic of the business circle with the logic of the scientific research circle to carry out a so-called popular science for the people. God knows where Ningwei found so many public materials for the most hard-core theory of popular science, and then used his profound mathematical skills to integrate them.

If you sort out all the content posted by Ningwei Weibo from the beginning to the end, you will find that this is already a scientific research summary report that is so rigorous and complete that many aerospace experts have nothing to say. up.In the data, the thrust of the rocket is calculated based on the capacity of the spacecraft, and even the optimal launch plan and delivery route for a certain time node are found.

It is enough to use these data to build a round-trip transportation model from Earth to Mars.Although these calculations are designed for the most ideal conditions and environments, it is already very powerful for a young person to do this.

Not to mention that these calculations also detail the materials for the round-trip spacecraft, which once made Tian Yanzhen doubt that Ning Wei really thought about building a spacecraft to go out to Mars for a circle.

Of course, these are young people's hobbies and Tian Yanzhen didn't bother to pay attention to them. At the beginning, Ning Wei also told him that he planned to use his Weibo to do science popularization, and Tian Yanzhen also agreed.After all, it is also a good thing for young scientists to popularize science for the public, but Ning Wei is always so good at surprising him. Even if he was killed, he never thought that Ning Wei’s science popularization could be so hard-core, causing such a big disturbance, and even once affected The sales of a brand of electric cars forced Tesla to issue an official announcement to clarify that electric cars are electric cars, and Tesla has nothing to do with the boss's plan to emigrate to Mars...

It's a lot of pressure!Really, since Tian Yanzhen accepted Ning Wei as a student, every once in a while, there will be countless calls to ask his students what they want to do recently?Doing these is the meaning of Ningwei, or the meaning of the research center.Only those who have experienced that kind of feeling will know. Although most of the time it still makes him proud, but it brings a lot of pressure.

For example, colleagues all over the world are asking him whether Master has offended them in various ways, how does he answer?He is not familiar with Master?
