A nation's industrial development begins with junior engineers.

Everyone experiences joy and sorrow differently in life.

Jinzhen was happy on stage, but Mulan, standing to the side, frowned almost imperceptibly over her heroic eyebrows.

Her gaze was fixed on the bald eagle representative who had just spoken, and on the excessively bright smile on his face.

Something is wrong!

The Gallic rooster's excitement was technical, stemming from that "idea" that hit the nail on the head!

The applause from the Allied members was political, carrying both the tacit understanding of the camp and Alexander's personal inclinations!

And the reaction of this bald eagle representative...

Too fast, too proactive, too "correct".

The storm has never gone away; it has simply changed its form, approaching quietly under the guise of applause.

Sure enough, the bald eagle's counterattack came immediately!

Before the applause had completely subsided, the team leader smiled and spoke again, his tone still polite, but his wording subtly shifted:

"A brilliant idea, without a doubt..."

However, please allow me to raise a question that may be somewhat inappropriate, but it concerns academic rigor…

He paused, his gaze sweeping across the room: "Such a mature and unique design concept, especially the 'contextual inference' mechanism you mentioned, has never been seen before in the international community."

Can we confirm that the original concept and core design of this language were entirely born from the independent wisdom of the Chinese team?

After all, the flow of knowledge often crosses national borders, and what we in academia value most is a clear tracing of origins and an honest attribution.

Is it possible that some of the key concepts borrowed from or...integrated from other technological sources that have not yet been fully publicly acknowledged?

"As far as I know, your country started its basic research in the field of computers relatively late, and its technological accumulation is still quite weak," the Bald Eagle leader continued, his tone revealing no concealment of skepticism.

"The sudden introduction of such an advanced concept inevitably raises doubts about its originality—after all, complex technological systems cannot be created out of thin air, can they?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the room fell silent.

The accusations, though veneered with politeness, were unmistakably pointed: You plagiarized! There must be another source behind it!

Jin Zhen's face darkened, and he was about to speak...

"absurd!"

A loud, clearly angry French voice suddenly rang out!

The old French expert, who had just been slamming his fist on the table in excitement, stood up once more. This time, his face was flushed red, and his finger almost pointed in the direction represented by the bald eagle.

"Several months ago, our research teams reached a cooperation agreement on this language project and completed joint registration with the International Knowledge Cooperation Committee (ICIC). All relevant technical documents and cooperation agreements are in place!"

At this point, the old expert slightly raised his chin, with a hint of pride and smugness: "This is a model of equal and mutually beneficial international knowledge cooperation, aimed at promoting the common development of global computer technology. Your country's unfounded doubts are not only disrespectful to Chinese researchers, but also an offense to our French scientific achievements!"

Goodness, in order to refute the United States, the French went so far as to pat themselves on the back, turning "purchased from China" into "joint research and development," and even brought out the ICIC registration as a shield.

In any case, the filing documents do contain records of Sino-French technical exchanges, and these records are managed by their people. How to interpret them depends entirely on what they say.

These words were spoken with force and confidence, even carrying a hint of academic arrogance that said, "If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense."

Many people present were stunned—so there was such a connection?

Only a few people in the know understood: it was not only to repay the favor of the "knowledge point" just now and to help the Chinese side out of the predicament in a moment of quick thinking, but also to naturally embellish their own image, to solidify the name of "joint development," so as to get a share of the possible technological dividends in the future.

Whether the exchanges under the ICIC framework have truly reached this level, and whether the filing is as "complete" as it seems, only time will tell.

But at this moment, under the Frenchman's resolute and angry accusations, as if he had been unjustly accused, this statement seemed to carry particular weight.

As expected, the French never disappoint when it comes to maintaining their own image and seizing the moral high ground.

Almost as soon as the French expert finished speaking, a steady and loud echo came from the league seats.

Alexander did not get up, but whispered a few words to the minister beside him, who nodded expressionlessly.

Immediately, a representative of the alliance raised his hand at the behest of others, and after receiving permission, spoke loudly in English with a Slavic accent:

"We agree with our French counterparts' views. China's achievements in the field of computer languages ​​are a reasonable output commensurate with its industrial and academic development level. To make suggestive doubts about its originality in the absence of evidence is disrespectful and irresponsible. International scientific and technological exchanges should be based on equality and trust, not on unfounded suspicions."

These words were clear in their stance and full of force.

The core message is this: whatever you, the bald eagle, oppose, my alliance will support; whatever you question, I will defend.

As for the specific technical details?

That's not important; what matters is alignment and attitude.

Truth lies within the range of artillery fire, and also within political statements.

As for your verification request? Go tell our bunch of idle Cheka members...

Just as the French and the alliance were refuting each other and the atmosphere in the room was delicate, the bald eagle's team leader suddenly turned pale.

He did not immediately respond to the accusations from both sides. Instead, he took a deep breath, as if suppressing his anger, and then shook his head, revealing a mocking expression that said, "I wanted to save face for you, but you brought this on yourself."

"Evidence? You want evidence, right?"

“Okay, I had hoped that the academic discussion would remain within a respectable range, but since someone has questioned my questions—” he paused deliberately, “then I will show everyone something substantial.”

As he spoke, he turned to the side and gestured solemnly to the expert next to him who wore frameless glasses.

"Please allow me to formally introduce Dr. Robert Witt, a former core researcher at Bell Labs, an authority in the field of systems software and compiler theory, who has participated in many pioneering computer language development projects."

Dr. Witt paused, wanting to say that he was just an applied mathematician and hadn't yet gotten involved in computer languages.

“Dr. Witt not only possesses an outstanding academic background,” the team leader continued, while staring sharply at Dr. Witt, signaling him to be quiet.

"I also went to China several years ago to give lectures and provide technical guidance as part of an academic exchange program."

At this point in his speech, he suddenly turned to the podium, raised his arm, and pointed his index finger directly at Jin Zhen on the stage.

"And this gentleman on the stage—Mr. Jin Zhen," he said clearly, enunciating each word, "is, if I remember correctly, one of the most active and inquisitive students in Dr. Witter's classes in China!"

The whole place fell silent for a moment.

Wow, are there so many juicy stories at this year's IEC conference?

You've come to the right place!
