Hammer of Technology

"They really awarded the award to March?!"

"Isn't this what you expected?"

"How can I say what I expected? I just think that if there is such a possibility, I can't miss it. By the way, did you say when the official website will announce it?"

"Tomorrow at five o'clock in the morning."

"Okay, I see. By the way, next to the interview, how do you feel now?"

This question really made Yu Xingwei feel more complicated, and after thinking about it, he replied: "Nervous, very nervous!"

"Actually, don't be nervous. Think about it. You contributed to the large-scale test in March, including your doctoral thesis. I have read it. The level must be sufficient. This award is well-deserved. Return. Maybe when the time comes, the Foundation will hold their noses and recognize it?"

"Mr. Xiao Ning, you're right. You're not afraid of going abroad to attend a meeting in the future, and you'll be blocked into a group fight in the venue?" Yu Xingwei didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Haha, you think too little of others. Of course, for the sake of safety, we can also stay out of the country temporarily. Have you forgotten the wish we made when we went to apply for visas for the first time?"

After hearing this, Yu Xingwei really calmed down a lot.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, if there is no such announcement, maybe his name will not appear on the official website of the Wolf Prize for the rest of his life. The matter has come to this point, and it is enough to think on the bright side.

"Okay, Mr. Ning, what do I need to do next?" Yu Xingwei said in a broken jar.

"Well, I will notify you when I am ready, but I personally suggest that you call important people in advance, and then turn your phone to silent mode tomorrow. Otherwise, based on my experience, you may spend the whole day tomorrow. I can’t do anything anymore, and it’s uncomfortable to be harassed by phone calls all the time.”

"understood!"

"Okay, that's it for now, hang up!"

"Goodbye, Mr. Ning."

After hanging up the phone, Yu Xingwei felt inexplicably more relaxed. Thinking of what Ning Wei said just now, he opened WeChat, opened the most active groups on weekdays, and then directly sent a 200 red envelope to each group with more than 50 groups to receive it. The number of red envelopes is directly set to 50. For groups with less than 1200 people, there are as many people as there are in the group, and the total cost is [-] yuan.

The inhumane red envelope blasting group method has always been tried and tested, especially when several group owners were blasted out, directly helping Yu Xingwei@Everyone, "Hurry up and get the red envelope!"

So Yu Xingwei's WeChat instantly became lively.

"Thank you boss, did the boss get rich?"

"Boss Yu is mighty!"

"Thank you, Boss Yu, for supporting the mortgage!"

"What happened? Old Yu, you won 500 million?"

……

"Ahem, fellow comrades, the first thing I do when I get up tomorrow morning is to check the official website of the Wolf Foundation, that's it!"

After quickly copying this sentence six times, Yu Xingwei directly set the phone to silent, leaving a bunch of question marks.After doing all this, Yu Xingwei felt at ease...

Facts have proved that broken cans can really make people feel happy. Although the winter in Beijing is very cold, everyone's enthusiasm is very warm.

……

Yanbei University, Beijing International Mathematics Research Center.

Ning Wei hung up Yu Xingwei's phone and checked the time. It was only seven o'clock in the evening. He remembered that when Jiang Chenshuang helped him deliver the meal just now, he had made an appointment to review and come home with him at ten o'clock, which meant that he still had three It is almost enough to be able to freely control the hours, so Ning Wei stood up Shi Ran stood up, didn't bother to put on his coat, opened the door of the office, shivered by the cold wind outside, and rushed directly into Lu Dongyi's room next door. office.

"What's the matter?" Lu Dongyi, who was immersed in some calculations, looked up at Ningwei, then lowered his head and asked casually.

"It's nothing, it's just that Yu Xingwei called just now and said that the Wolf Foundation notified him that he had won an award, a mathematics award." Ning Wei replied.

"Oh!" Lu Dongyi replied casually, and then continued to write. After about ten seconds, the tip of the pen suddenly paused, then raised his head in confusion, and asked, "What did you just say?"

"I won this year's Wolf Prize in Mathematics in March." Ning Wei repeated, and then sat down on the sofa in Lu Dongyi's office.

They stared at each other for a moment. Although he found that the other party was not interesting, Lu Dongyi still put down the pen in his hand.

"Hey, it's really awarded to Professor March. These guys have spared no effort in suppressing you. If this award must be awarded this year, it should be given to you, not to March. Actually, I think this year is bye." More reasonable." Lu Dongyi sighed.

"What do you mean, Brother Lu, do you think I am not worthy of this award?" Ning Wei was a little dissatisfied.

"It's a lifetime achievement award, why are you so young? Well, let's not talk about it, what should we do now?" Lu Dongyi looked at Ning Wei and asked.

"Didn't we discuss it before? I think it's almost time to confess to Director Tian. I'm thinking whether to call him now and ask him to come and listen to our report." Ning Wei replied.

"Don't talk about our report, it's your report." Lu Dongyi corrected a sentence, and then continued: "Then you fight."

"I'm thinking about calling so late, isn't it impolite?" Ning Wei hesitated.

"You should think about it. It's impolite to hide such a big matter from Director Tian for so long." Lu Dongyi said earnestly.

"Looking back at this time, it seems that there is a little distrust of Director Tian. But the main reason is that Director Tian has a lot of friends." Ning Wei muttered and took out his mobile phone, glanced at Lu Dongyi, and then dialed Tian Yanzhen called.

After three rings, the phone was connected.

"Hey, Ning Wei, it's very rare for you to take the initiative to call me." The other person joked, apparently in a good mood.

"Ahem, that's it. Director Tian, ​​are you still in the research center?"

"No, I had a dinner appointment with a friend today, and I'm eating, what's the matter?"

"It's like this, Senior Brother Lu and I have something to report to you, why don't you come back after dinner?" Ning Wei glanced at Lu Dongyi and said.

"Oh? It's very important? Do you have to report today?"

"How should I put it, Brother Lu and I both think it's best to report to you today. If it's delayed until tomorrow, I guess you might blame us. Of course, if you really don't have time tonight, I think tomorrow is fine too. ” Ning Wei said sincerely.

The other side was silent for a moment, and then said: "Okay, you wait for me, I will be back in about an hour."

"Well, well, it's better to use the multimedia conference room of the research center so that we can report to you, or we'll wait for you in the conference room."

"it is good!"

Ning Wei hung up the phone, then took a deep breath, looked at Lu Dongyi and said, "It's done, Director Tian will be back in an hour."

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

237 Ning Wei, You Are Really Good!

Director Tian was on time, even 10 minutes earlier.Ning Wei checked the time. When Director Tian walked into the conference room and took off his down jacket in a busy manner, it was exactly 53:[-].

Director Tian sat on the stool in the meeting room, looked at his two lovers and asked, "Okay, you can report now, why are you in such a hurry, I might not be happy to report a day later?"

Ning Wei glanced at Lu Dongyi, and found that the senior brother was bowing his head and saying nothing, so he could only sigh in his heart, and then replied: "Director Tian, ​​the chairman of the Wolf Foundation called our person, China time tomorrow At five o'clock in the morning, the official website of the Wolf Foundation will announce the winner of this year's Wolf Mathematics Prize, Professor March."

Tian Yanzhen nodded, and grasped the point very tactfully: "This kind of international award usually only notifies the winner a few hours in advance, which means that you are finally planning to tell me who that Professor March is today. ?”

Ning Wei nodded, and replied, "Well, Yu Xingwei was the one who notified."

"Yu Xingwei?" Tian Yanzhen glared at Ning Wei, instead of being angry, he smiled and said, "Ha, Ning Wei, how dare you! Professor Sanyue actually used Yu Xingwei's identity? It's okay if he doesn't go out in the country, If you really want to go to win an award, are you sure you won’t reveal your secrets if he makes a speech? Come on, tell me, what exactly are you trying to make a fuss about? Can’t you use your own identity to publish papers?”

"Well, you're right. The real identity of Professor March is not Yu Xingwei, but it's not actually me. Or even though I did write the paper that Professor March sent, I communicate with journal editors on a daily basis. Professor Sanyue who communicated with foreign colleagues and won the title of the best reviewer of the year is really not me." Ning Wei admitted very bachelor.

Hearing this, Tian Yanzhen calmed down instead.Really, just two short sentences have already shattered his worldview.He knew that Ning Wei was quite capable of making trouble, but he really didn't expect that Ning Wei would dare to make a joke about a top award in the world.

If this matter gets bigger, it is okay to label it as an academic misconduct.It would be a lie to say that he is not angry, but it is obviously not the time to lose his temper. The reason is very simple. Today Lu Dongyi is with Ning Wei.Ning Wei may not know the severity, but Tian Yanzhen believes that Lu Dongyi still has something to do, and he is waiting for Ning Wei to give him an explanation for what he wants to do.

"Okay, so who is this professor Sanyue? Don't say it's actually your brother Lu." Tian Yanzhen took a look at Lu Dongyi who had been silent all this time.

"Ahem, of course it's not Senior Brother Lu. You know, Senior Brother Lu is an honest man, and he definitely won't talk nonsense. In fact, the name Professor Sanyue is used to do a Turing test." Confirmed Tian Yan After Zhen had roughly accepted all the previous arguments, Ning Wei revealed the answer to the mystery.

"Turing test? You mean that March is just an artificial intelligence program?" Tian Yanzhen looked at Ning Wei in a daze. He couldn't remember how long he hadn't experienced such a shocking emotion, but Ning Wei was so light today. Those words really shocked him.

"Yes!" Ning Wei let out a long breath and nodded easily. The secret that was pressed in his heart was finally revealed, and the whole person seemed to be relieved of a heavy burden, extremely relaxed.

To say that the scale of a Turing test is so large, it is naturally impossible to have no psychological pressure at all.

But Ning Wei is actually not too scared, after all, when Lu Dongyi first met him, he boasted that Dao Tian was awesome, and Ning Wei's understanding of being awesome is probably that he can handle anything.Now it seems that this is indeed the case, because after he confessed, Tian Dao's face didn't seem to change, he was very calm and calm.

This also made Ning Wei heave a sigh of relief, the big boss really is the big boss, this kind of calmness that never changes before the mountain collapses is very worth learning for him.

Of course, what Ning Wei didn't know was that at this time Tian Yanzhen had actually started to curse in his heart, of course he was only cursing in his heart, and given his status, he would never say what was in his heart at this time.

Tian Yanzhen stared at Ning Wei quietly and didn't speak, until he found that his death stare didn't seem to have any effect, on the contrary, Ning Wei still had a relaxed expression, and then he said: "Okay, okay, okay, it's really great. Go ahead and tell me what else I don't know."

"Well, the daily email communication between reviewers and journal editors and peers is a small-scale internal test. After the test and found that the effect is excellent, I conducted a relatively large-scale public test not long ago, which is Weibo popular science Mars immigration difficulties That time, you should also remember this, right? Actually, I edited the first Weibo, and the following Weibos were developed by myself in March. Including all the data collation and science popularization, explanation copywriting, and those words of group ridicule .”

Ning Wei thought about it, and continued to confess.

"It's amazing, it's really amazing. Xiao Lu, you still want to tell me these things that you don't know from the beginning to the end?" Tian Yanzhen didn't want to pay attention to Ning Wei, and turned to look at Lu Dongyi who had been silent all this time. asked.

"Before we talked last time, I really didn't know about it, but I found out after that day." Lu Dongyi replied very bachelor: "But until now, I haven't seen what Ning Wei said about Professor Sanyue. of."

Ning Wei immediately added: "Indeed, Director Tian, ​​please don't blame Senior Brother Lu, in fact, we didn't want to hide it from you, but there is no way, you have too many friends, I am also afraid that if you say something wrong , our Turing test can't be done!"

"Huh... okay, what about after confessing to me today? Does it mean that I can meet this professor Sanyue who can review manuscripts and communicate normally with colleagues?" Tian Yanzhen suppressed his heart and was about to Exploding emotions, said.

Yes, the amount of information in today's report is too large, and Ning Wei made a big joke with the whole world.He couldn't dare to think about the attitude of all human beings when the Wolf Award is announced on the official website tomorrow, and then it is revealed that the winner of the Wolf Award is an artificial intelligence program, but he knows that this matter will definitely be very serious. Big, the two-way earthquake of the mathematics and computer industries must be extremely strong, and it can sweep across the world in an instant along the network cable.

Originally, this was a great good thing, but after a certain boy who was not afraid of anything, Tian Yanzhen didn't even know which direction the influence of this matter would lead the whole situation!

An artificial intelligence program was given an international top mathematics award. Tian Yanzhen firmly believes that this will definitely become a strong stroke in the history of human science, and it will definitely be written into the history books. They, the editors of well-known mathematics journals, and the netizens who participated in the discussion on Ningwei's Weibo will all become the background board of this thick stroke...

Ordinary people are fine, but Tian Yanzhen doesn't even bother to think about what those bigwigs in the academic world would think.

"Of course, the reason I called you to the conference room today is to let you meet March, please wait a moment." After speaking, Ning Wei sat down in front of his laptop that had been connected to the projector in the conference room, opened the control three The program of March, by the way, will be submitted to March to control the input and output equipment in the meeting room, including five cameras, microphones, and speakers.

Soon, a naive kitten appeared on the white curtain. It seemed that there were too many people today. The kitten looked at Ningwei suspiciously. Tian Yan was really sensitive to find that the conference room was suspended in the middle and could be adjusted. The camera slowly swings about 60 degrees.

"Meow..." A lazy meow sounded in the meeting room.

"Ahem, Sanyue, this is Tian Yanzhen's mentor, my teacher, and this is Lu Dongyi, my senior brother, remember their appearance."

As soon as Ning Wei finished speaking, a bunch of pictures flashed across the screen. Ning Wei randomly clicked in the middle of the screen with the mouse, and a picture froze in an instant. On it was Tian Yanzhen attending an important meeting. Group photo of Fields Medal winners.

Tian Yanzhen's eyebrows twitched. If he hadn't seen this photo, he would have almost forgotten this meeting. After all, this is an old photo from more than ten years ago. God knows which corner of the Internet Sanyue found. from.

"Okay, March, my supervisor is very curious about your hard work in reviewing papers, so you can show him the review process and the final comment process." Ning Wei gave instructions to the computer.

After half a year of evolution, March obviously evolved very quickly for these semantic recognition. The eyes of March on the screen narrowed, and then the little paws directly pulled out a mathematics paper, and then saw that various words began to jump out of the paper. After about 10 minutes, the paper was turned to the reference interface, and the comments also popped up sentence by sentence.

"After reading this paper, I always feel that something is missing. After thinking about it carefully, I found that the lack is probably IQ. I can bear the irrelevant lemma proof. I really can't bear the grammatical mistakes throughout the paper. I recommend this paper. The author of the paper is thinking about mathematics research after eating more walnuts to nourish his brain."

"Ahem, okay, Sanyue, my teacher Tian Dao still wants to know how you play with my Weibo, why don't you think of a copy and send it out?"

The web version of Weibo opened quickly on the screen, and then the copy began to quickly jump out "What's wrong? Why have fewer people scolded me in the comment area recently? Do you understand the equations I listed? Can't you? Could it be that recently There are more and more people who have reached the IQ standard? Today, I will give you a popular science question about the reliability of air travel. It will also be described in a mathematical way, as shown in the figure: "

Then the "嗖嗖嗖" standard nine-square grid was passed on...

"Come on, March, let's chat..."

"Meow..." Then a dialog box pops up.

"Well, I haven't added a voice system to Sanyue, because I think a kitten should look like a kitten. If a kitten speaks human words, it will be very inconsistent." Ning Wei was a little embarrassed to face Yi Yi Tian Yanzhen, who did not change his expression, explained something to Lu Dongyi who had already moved to his side.

……

It took about half an hour like this. After demonstrating the various abilities of Professor Sanyue, Ning Wei silently exited the program of March, disconnected the projector, and calmly looked at Tian Yanzhen who had never said a word. .

Lu Dongyi looked thoughtful, and looked at Ning Wei with a different look. Although he had already prepared himself mentally, he was still shocked by the level of intelligence shown in March. .

The program that can pass the large-scale Turing public test is indeed too unusual, but its image is a cat, a cat with a very vicious tongue...

Lu Dongyi didn't understand the birth process of March, he just felt that Ningwei's artificial intelligence program was designed in the image of a little milk cat, which was somewhat impolite.

After a long time, Tian Yanzhen asked: "Ning Wei, so March is designed and programmed by you independently, right? If I'm not wrong, you have also submitted applications in advance for all patents related to the realization of March. Bar?"

Ning Wei nodded and replied, "Tian Dao is wise!"

Tian Yanzhen waved his hand and said, "No, I'm not wise! You are really amazing! So Academician Tan's new material experiment, the paper must be signed in March, is it really a mathematical modeling?"

Ning Wei thought for a while, and replied: "It can't be said that it is all done. March still has great limitations in terms of creativity. I need to set a framework for it first, and then it will be within the framework. Carrying out calculations and experiments can of course save a lot of manual steps.”

"Okay, I understand! So how do you plan to end now? Let me hear your plan first." After taking three deep breaths, Tian Yanzhen looked at Ning Wei and asked.

"I used to think that if I could really win the award in March, I would connect remotely at the award ceremony and show my face in front of the whole world, but I found this problem to be simple. Those people don't know three True Identity Yue didn't even think about awarding it, so he had to let Brother Yu go up. But as you said, it doesn't matter if Brother Yu tops up for a short time, but if it takes a long time to be afraid of revealing his secrets, it will be troublesome at that time. However, the awards ceremony will be nearly two months away, so I am also considering how to announce the existence of March in a way that everyone can accept. At present, I have two ideas..."

"never mind!"

Tian Yanzhen raised a hand and stopped Ning Wei from continuing: "You better stop talking about your thoughts, let me talk about it. A press conference. I want to emphasize three points about this press conference. First, at the press conference, I don't care what you do, but you must issue a test plan that has already been drawn up, proving that the March incident is just to do a complete set of Turing tests, without any other meaning, the plan There must be sufficient reasons in the book to explain the necessity of this test;”

"Second, keep a low profile at the press conference, simply show off March's ability, don't elaborate too much, don't think about continuing to pick things up, this matter is already big, you don't need to add more details, everyone will have its own judgment;"

"Third, at the end of the press conference, think up a thank-you speech for me. It's too much sincerity. You must express your sincere gratitude from the bottom of your heart to all the scientific researchers who participated in this Turing test, regardless of their status. Thank you It’s all right for them to pay for science, right?”

Ning Wei immediately nodded and said, "That's absolutely no problem, Director Tian, ​​I will speak nice words!"

Sure enough, the instructor is not afraid of things, this is to digest the whole thing directly.

"Director Tian, ​​when will the press conference be held?" Lu Dongyi asked

Tian Yanzhen closed his eyes and thought for a while. After a full minute of silence, he opened his eyes and said, "Tentatively decide the day after tomorrow, if there is time. There are many things to prepare, and I have to communicate with some professors in advance. , but you don’t care about these, just prepare the speech according to my request. I will notify you when the time and place are determined.”

"Okay!" Ning Wei nodded immediately.
