"Hey, it's not that I'm talking about the other side. He's timid in doing things, and he's not as decisive as the second-rate 985 Jiang Da..."

"Tian Yanzhen, can it be the same? Can it be? Jiang University is also Xiaoning's alma mater for his undergraduate degree, and the cooperation has been going on for a long time. Please tell me, otherwise we can really break off the relationship."

"When he comes back, I will have a good talk with the child... Is this the head office? Why are you so impatient... Hey... But let's talk about the ugly, since the cooperation is deepened, we have to be in the same pace, In particular, the enrollment standards for international students need to be raised more, which is what Xiao Ning meant, and I think it makes sense."

"Don't worry, everyone is mentally prepared for this. It's really time for this."

"Ha, of course I don't worry, what can I worry about? Old Tian, ​​you have taken in a good disciple! Hey... just a little black-hearted!"

……

When Apple, which almost never participates in publicity on Weibo, also started to join in the fun, and after a wave of forwarding blessings to draw Apple cars and mobile phones, it also pushed the Internet lottery storm because of the birth of Xiao Ningzhe to the climax. climax.

Now the whole world probably knows that a scientist in China gave birth to a son today.

After all, these rewards are still very fragrant.

The lively forwarding and comments continued until twelve o'clock in the morning.While everyone was looking forward to being the lucky one, not many people probably noticed that that night, more than a dozen well-known universities in China, including Huaqing, issued a statement on their official website, deciding to withdraw from the world school ranking system.

At this point, almost all 985 colleges and universities in China no longer accept the international school ranking standards.This also means that these universities no longer need to plan according to the standards of those famous schools in order to improve their rankings - such as the proportion of international students in each school, the proportion of international teachers, the number of papers published each year, etc. Require.

The impact of this small change has not yet appeared at this time, but so many schools have made these changes before the summer enrollment season, which naturally means that the enrollment policy for this year will also change.

This is probably definitely not good news for the international students in the international departments of these schools.

Not only will it be more difficult to get into these schools, but it will also be more difficult to graduate.But this is probably life, who can have a smooth sailing life?

……

In the small conference room on the third floor of the Royal Academy of Sciences in Stockholm, Sweden, the review committee of the current Nobel Prize in Physics is meeting. Their task today is to determine the final list of candidates for the Nobel Prize announced in October this year.

With more and more bigwigs who are eligible to recommend candidates, the Nobel Prize receives many recommendations every year.Especially for literature awards, thousands of people can often be recommended.Although the physics award is much smaller than the literature award, there are still hundreds of people.

After the recommendation deadline, the members of the review committee need to directly eliminate some of them who are obviously not eligible for the award, and form a list of about 15 to [-] people before April for more extensive research According to the discussion, in the end, the Nobel Prize winners of the year will be produced in this list, usually three will be selected from it, and of course only three can be selected at most.

In fact, there are traces of who will be awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics every year. For example, when the bigwigs on the review committee were more interested in the universe in certain years, those who studied astrophysics and cosmology in those years Physicists are more likely to be selected.In four years, there may be one or two awards for scientists in related research directions.

From this point of view, Ningwei's achievements are actually a coincidence.

Whether his research is in quantum physics, particle physics, high-energy physics, or astrophysics, black holes and other astronomical phenomena, in fact, it involves. The field of cosmology explains more rationally why the universe is expanding faster than the speed of light, and so on.

The unification of microcosmic and macroscopic theories has caused an earthquake in the academic world, so even though the relationship between Ningwei and the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences is not so pleasant, it still received the most recommendations this year.

These judges were also voting, and at the end of the discussion, no one rejected Ningwei at this stage.Of course, this is very normal. If you really do this, it will only make people feel very unprofessional if it is spread in the future.

Speaking of which, the final selection process of the Nobel Prize will not be announced to the public, but there are no real secrets in this world. The opinions of each reviewer must be recorded after all, and many behaviors will even be passed on to many academic leaders. talk.If a choice that is too biased causes a huge storm of public opinion, someone will eventually be held accountable.

No one wants to take this responsibility, so when seeing the name Ningwei, although many people feel disgusted as if they ate a fly, they still have to bite the bullet and swallow it first.

This also led to the end of the meeting after the final 15-man list was released, and everyone's emotions were not high.

After a brief greeting, they walked towards the door in twos and threes.

"Angus, wait for me..."

Angus Brayton, who had just walked out of the conference room door, paused, turned his head and saw Professor Grande Hansen, the permanent secretary of the Royal Academy of Sciences, coming from the other side of the corridor.

As the chairman of the review committee for the Swedish Nobel Prize in Physics, Angus Bray actually doesn't want to get in touch with senior executives like Grand Hansen who are biased towards the administrative field at this time. There are always some inexplicable internal problems. Stress, headaches.

But when someone came to the door, it was naturally impossible to refuse, so after explaining to the people around him, he let everyone go first, and he stood there and waited until the people came closer before asking softly: "Professor Hansen ,Is there a problem?"

Grande Hansen pointed to the garden outside the building: "Go for a walk together?"

Angus Bray hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, but I still have some things to do..."

"Haha, Angus, fifteen minutes, I think it won't delay your work." Grande Hansen said with a smile.

"Okay, let's go."

……

"Angus, would you rather enter the list of candidates for the next stage?" Grande Hansen asked casually after walking in the garden and simply praising the rising temperature in the bright spring day.

"Of course, he is the only scientist among the fifteen candidates who passed unanimously without a single objection."

Angus Bray nodded, stating the facts with a blank expression.I didn't know much about Ning Wei, Angus Bray, and I didn't like this young man in China at first, but I still support the basic physics laboratory that Ning Wei has recently established in China. manner.

Not to mention anything else, at least the salary of many physicists has been greatly improved.It also makes more people in the western world start to pay attention to and improve the living standards of these scientists who promote the progress of the human world. In Angus Bray's view, this is obviously a good thing.

"Hey... How should I put it, Ning Wei is indeed a controversial young man. But how should I put it, the officials of the foundation are very repulsed by this name..." Grande Hansen said with a sigh.

Angus Bray frowned, and then said calmly: "Professor Hansen, the Nobel Foundation is only the owner and manager of the fund. They are only responsible for awarding bonuses and have no power to influence the work of the review committee. It's not their specialty. It's as boring as I am now going to the Karolinska Institute for Surgeons to talk to them about who should give me a prize in medicine or biology."

"You misunderstood, Angus..."

Grande Hansen spread his hands, showed a helpless smile, and continued: "I'm not trying to put pressure on you, nor do I want to affect your fair selection of this year's physics prize winner... just Some people suggested that if there is such a possibility, we should take the morality of each scientist into consideration... Angus, we have many partners, they can't believe that someone even dares to threaten many unspecified people by depriving them of the right to life .So, Angus, do you think we should really give this honor to scientists who have abandoned the bottom line of human morality?"

Angus Bray looked up at the towering column opposite, thought for a while, and said, "Professor Hansen, do you still remember the original intention of the Nobel Prize? According to Mr. Nobel's will, during the entire selection process Among them, the winners should not be affected by any nationality, ethnicity, ideology and religious beliefs, and the first criterion for selection is the size of their achievements."

"But Mr. Nobel did not say that he should not be influenced by morality. And I think everyone knows the reason why Mr. Nobel established the Peace Prize. He has become an unstable factor in this world. Many people think it is very good. Explain, we should announce this explanation, and it will not even affect the authority of the Nobel Prize." Grande Hansen said slowly.

"Then let the idiots in Norway award this award to those moral warmongers?" Angus Bray asked mockingly.

"Angus, I didn't come to quarrel with you. I just received some commissions today to explore a possibility, and I never thought of getting involved in the selection process. You don't need to show any hostility to me, I Friends." Grande Hansen said helplessly.

"Haha, Professor Hansen, I have received your friend's or your opinion, and I will consider it carefully. And now there is still half a year before the end of the selection, we still have enough time to consider this matter. Hmm..."

After speaking, Angus Bray raised his wrist to look at the time, and said, "15 minutes is up, I have another discussion meeting later."

"Go to work, Angus, goodbye!"

"goodbye!"

The two middle-aged men said goodbye to each other politely and gently, and then separated.

Angus Bray returned to his office, turned on his computer, entered his mailbox, called up an email from yesterday, thought for a moment, and then began to reply.

"Dear Mr. Cook: Best regards..."

……

Huaxia, Beijing, Yanbei University, inside Yanyuan.

Since the addition of a little life in the family, the already lively little family has become much more lively.

Children who are not yet full-term are arranged in a special children's room, and from time to time there are angry cries, which keep the adults busy.

But these things have little to do with Ning Wei.

On the first day he returned to school from the hospital, he called all the students he could call into the office and severely criticized them.The reason for criticism is naturally because of the nonsense on the Internet.

Especially when Chen Diancheng caught fire...

But seeing the kid's indifference, Ning Wei once again felt that Tian Yan was really distressed.

"Does Ningshe really have too much money? Is it in your hands? There are lottery draws every now and then... Director Tian's heart hurts watching it! Now the Young Scientist Project only gives about 200 million project funds, and you get 1000 million." To give out red envelopes? How many projects can this do?"

"Director Ning, how do you know that Director Tian is heartbroken?"

"Nonsense, can I not know? You scolded me on the phone a few days ago and asked me to take care of you. You are really lawless every day, right? In this way, I don't bother to talk nonsense with you, you Don’t stay idle at school every day, go to the basic physics laboratory for a while. Pick a direction you are interested in and find a small tutor, when will you make the project, and when will you come back.”

"No, Director Ning! You mainly study physics. I am determined to develop in the direction of artificial intelligence number theory. And I am not idle. Didn't the topic selection report be handed over to you last time?" Chen Diancheng called out immediately Get up.

He really didn't want to go to the basic laboratory.

Although the laboratory has the sign of Yanbei University, but after all, it is very far from the headquarters of Yanbei University, and it is not convenient to go back and forth.He is now in a period of love, and keeping him in the basic laboratory will definitely suffocate him.

"Don't be so narrow-minded. Let you study this in the past. In March, there has been a bottleneck in the processing power of machine data. You can treat physics as a traditional experimental subject, and the goal of research is to mine the relationship in nature from experiments. March, as an artificial intelligence technology that can deeply mine data patterns, has greatly improved the computing power of the laboratory."

"But it can still be improved. The direction is similar to the ability of the human brain to extract laws. Using a neural network to fit this complex function requires enough data points to support it, but the data points are often insufficient, which requires a change of thinking. This is the opening report I prepared for you, and this is your future research direction. The general direction of the topic is still relatively difficult, but I believe in your ability, get it done as soon as possible, and then graduate, that's all."

Ning Wei aggressively took out a stack of prepared materials from the drawer and handed it over.

This can be regarded as the choice of topic for his youngest disciple at present, and he did not fully seek the opinion of this child, which is suspected of making decisions under the feudal patriarchal system.

But in fact, this is the topic he thinks is most suitable for Chen Diancheng's research direction after several weeks of analysis in March.It is very difficult, but if it can be done, it is not a problem to win the March Award in the future, and it is not impossible to even win Fields.

The enhanced artificial intelligence technology will have more powerful computing power to deal with more complex various spatial problems.In addition to improving the ability of March, the scope of application is also extremely wide.

For example, in a larger space system, plan the most suitable path-finding capability, which can be used in the drawing of star maps in unknown star fields, route navigation in the universe, and other fields...

It can be seen that Ning Wei's expectations for Chen Diancheng are also extremely high.

"But Director Ning, our Ning Society's most important crystal shoe project this year will be officially launched for testing next month!" Chen Diancheng argued.

"Can the project go live without you?"

"I'm the president of Ningshe. For such an important matter, I must be here to boost morale. This is also the first project that Ningshe has cooperated with the outside world. The Penguin Group has invested in it. What if it messes up? Lost Ningshe's prestigious reputation?"

"Oh, so we need to change the president?"

"Huh? Director Ning, don't be like this..."

"Anyway, I was scolded by Director Tian because of you, you can figure it out!"

"OK then……"

Ning Wei looked at the somewhat dejected young man standing opposite, and was amused...

Of course he knew the reason why Chen Diancheng was so depressed. Speaking of which, he also came from that stage.Back then, if Tian Yan really wanted to separate him from Jiang Chenshuang like this, he must have been very upset.

He has also met that girl Wen Yimo a few times, she is quite a nice girl, she is quite simple, she doesn't have any messy ideas, and she is very suitable with Chen Diancheng.So after glaring at this guy, he said angrily: "Okay, don't look so depressed. I will arrange a special car for you. If you don't mind the trouble, you can insist on getting up at seven every morning. Go back to school every afternoon, and commute on both sides. You don’t need to live on the other side of the laboratory.”

This is probably a surprise, and it is indeed a pretty good solution, without delaying both study and love.

So Chen Diancheng immediately responded: "Director Ning, I knew you were the best...By the way, can the special car be converted into a desk, preferably with wifi, so that it will be convenient for me to do my research in the car, so as not to delay Commuting time back and forth."

For this guy who likes to hit snakes and sticks, Ning Wei really has no good solution, so he can only put on a straight face and teach: "Is this something I need to worry about? I will arrange the car and the pass for you. If you have any needs, figure out your own solution. Isn’t Ningshe rich? You can solve it yourself.”

After finishing speaking, Ning Wei thought for a while, and continued to explain: "Now there are more than 200 foreign experts in the basic laboratory, all of whom are highly knowledgeable. If you go there, be more open-minded and communicate with these experts more. I will warn you, Most of the data in the laboratory is not confidential, you can check it, if you have any questions, you can submit them through the March platform, I will look at it every day. Ask more, read more, listen more, if you want to communicate with me directly , you can go directly to my place, understand?"

"Don't worry, Director Ning, you know me, I'm not only the best learner, but also the most humble!" Chen Diancheng said immediately, patting his chest.

Looking at this guy's expression of having a lot of things, Ning Wei suddenly felt absurd that he had traveled to Tian Yanzhen's perspective, so the next moment, a simple and neat word blurted out: "Get out!"

In order for everyone to draw a lottery, I worked hard

485 Two or three things about time

Time flies like a passing time, and for many people, the capital city has gone from the scorching summer to the rustling autumn wind in a blink of an eye.

Autumn in the capital is a bit dry, but it is extremely comfortable.The temperature is suitable for cold and warm. Unlike many places where autumn starts to rain, most of the time it is sunny in autumn, and it is not too cold when there is wind.

Half of the trees in Yanbei University are yellow, mixed in the evergreen forest all year round, making the school more colorful, like a finely crafted oil painting.In the afternoon, the number of students by the Weiming Lake also began to increase, and the laughter of youth could be heard from time to time.

For Ning Wei, the greatest sense of accomplishment during this time is that little Ning Zhe has finally turned half a year old.

From the perspective of being a father, his youngest son is quieter than Ning Ke’s children. He seldom cries at night and wakes up occasionally during the day. Explore this strange world with curious and wise eyes.

Although the doctor told him that the eyes of a half-year-old baby are not fully developed, and his eyesight is only about 0.5 at most. In theory, everything is blurred, so no matter how clear the eyeballs look, Ning Wei still feels that little Ningzhe's gaze It is wise, otherwise it is impossible to explain how this little guy can make the always steely Lao Ning softer after being brought home.

While holding the little guy, he got wet all over, and said happily that this shows that the little Ningzhe in the family will become a big weapon in the future, because he can feel particularly strong when he pees, much stronger than Ningwei when he was a child.

This made Ning Wei feel that he was humiliated, and he thought that Lao Ning had no right to speak at all.According to Ning's mother, when he was a child, Lao Ning never hugged him much at all, and when he was just born, Lao Ning even disliked him for being too ugly, his facial features were crumpled together, like a monkey...

Ma Dan...whose facial features weren't wrinkled when they were first born? !Now in the grandson's life, even the piss smells delicious. The double standard of the old man Chi Guoguo is so terrifying. This is learned from the United States, right?

Yes, it's all America's fault!Transform a strong old man into a shameless double standard.

Of course, Ning Wei did not dare to say such words in front of Lao Ning. The suppression of the blood is an inexplicable thing. It may seem like nothing to some people, but to most normal people, it is finally worthless. .

For example, the relationship between the United Kingdom and the United States.

From a historical point of view, Lao Ying should be Lao Mei's biological father.But now that Lao Mei has recognized the rich Lao as her adoptive father, she doesn't quite approve of her own father, and even wants to be Lao Ying's father instead, as if she is not very filial.

It's like something that happened recently.

Modeling, a British start-up company, was spotted by Google, hoping to acquire it directly at a lower price, but was rejected.As a result, the two parties filed a lawsuit because of intellectual property rights, which directly caused the entry of higher supervision, and then became a hot search.

The Chinese name of the current main product of this Modeling company is Jianjian.It is a software product based on the currently popular [-]D display technology.Specifically, it only needs to take a few photos of an object from various angles, and then carry out background intelligent processing to restore the stereo prototype in a three-dimensional display environment.

Of course, limited by the computing power of the equipment and the efficiency of artificial intelligence, the degree of restoration of this software is actually not that high, but it still performs very well in the entire European and American regions.It is basically one of the must-buy software after updating [-]D display products in Europe and America.

Ning Wei learned that this matter was after the two sides had already had a conflict.Originally, he didn't intend to care about such trivial matters. This kind of software can be developed even by Ningshe, or it doesn't need to be developed at all.

If you are a paid member of the March platform, you can actually find similar services in the function list provided by the platform.Moreover, the cloud computing platform built in March has greater advantages in fuzzy condition modeling, and the generated three-dimensional models are more accurate, but the main service targets are some enterprise users, which can make 3D modeling more convenient.For the time being, no one thought that it could be extended to the civilian field.

I paid special attention to this matter, mainly because Lloyd Adams, the founder of the Modeling company, still has some very distant origins with him.

Lloyd Adams graduated from Imperial College where his graduate supervisor happened to be Professor Bonar Kean.

The relationship between the two lies in the fact that when Ning Wei was still at Jiang University, Professor Keen from Imperial College of Technology was the first professor who extended an olive branch to him and invited him to study for a Ph.D., and his attitude was very sincere.It is said that the professor even had a quarrel with the school because of the delay in sending out the invitation letter.
