Tech Hammer

The SODA conference is the world's top algorithm conference, attracting countless people in the industry, including young people who are interested in computer algorithms. In fact, there are many young students from well-known universities around the world who have signed up to participate in the conference.

Most people will not miss the report meeting on the first day.

When they found themselves unable to understand what Ning Wei was trying to say in the audience, they did nothing but complain, take photos, record short videos, post them to their respective social circles, share and complain with familiar people, this was already their A lifestyle engraved in your bones.

Of course, not to mention continuing to complain to friends via mobile phone as soon as possible.

"Tom, really, you missed a grand event. You should have come to this conference to listen to Ning Wei's sixty-minute lecture. Yes, it is the turbulence algorithm. Don't say you are not interested in algorithms. He I’m here to show you math!”

"I'll show you something... Do you understand? Don't understand? That's great. It turns out you don't understand even those who study mathematics. This shows that my IQ is still online."

"Damn Chinese people, they ruined the Mathematics Olympiad, and now they have extended their black hands to the SODA conference! It's simply terrible! I feel that the field I love so much has been offended!"

"I wasted a full twenty minutes doubting life at Ning Wei's lecture. Fortunately, when I walked out of the lecture hall, I found that no one understood, and I realized that I was normal and the guy on the stage was abnormal! "

"Lu, I was humiliated by an undergraduate from your country! The moment he said at the end of his report that he was just an undergraduate, my worldview collapsed! Your compatriot's name is Ning Wei, and soon you You will find that he will become notorious throughout the circle!"

"If I were to say whose report at this conference would impress me the most, it would undoubtedly be Ning Wei's 60-minute report, because this Chinese college student spent a full 20 minutes insulting my IQ. I want to find He theorized but had no idea where to start! What a terrible experience!”

"I no longer want to know who invited Ning Wei to this conference, but I know that if I see this name appear in the conference manual next time, I will definitely not walk into the report hall at that time!"

"Really, that Ning Wei didn't mention a word that he looked down on us when he was giving the report, but looking back now, I think every word he said was mocking, and I hate him!"

"After the report meeting, I studied Ning Wei's information. It said that he came from Jiang University in China, a Huaxia University that I had never heard of. Oh my God, Jiang Zhe, my good roommate, can you give me Can I introduce this low-key school? Is their math major strong enough to rival Princeton?"

Countless complaints from top academics began to radiate and spread crazily to the outside world through the Internet.

…

Specific to the person involved, Ning Wei, the treatment is different.

Generally speaking, this kind of young man can give a report on the rostrum. After completion, the big guys in the industry will pat the child on the shoulder and give a few words of praise as an encouragement to the younger generations to continue their efforts.

But this time, when the time came to four o'clock in the afternoon and the report meeting was over, Professor Shen and the other big guys looked at Ning Wei, but couldn't raise their hands. They just smiled bitterly, and finally turned into a complaint: "Okay. , I regret not inviting Professor Smith over, otherwise you would definitely have a lot in common. Okay, go get ready, you will definitely be the most shining protagonist at the official dinner tonight."

"Um? Official dinner? Can you not go?" It was not an excuse. Ning Wei felt that attending such a dinner was a waste of time when his mind was about to explode.

"I suggest you go ahead. That is the stage where real young people show off their youth. The meaning of academic conferences is communication. Maybe you can meet people who share the same interests with you in the communication. A dinner will not delay you too much. It's about time, kid." Shen Zheqing gave his own advice.

"Then...okay." Ning Wei nodded and agreed.

"Okay, let's go and get ready. Don't forget, the dinner starts at seven o'clock." After saying that, Professor Shen turned and left with a smile.

Although he works at the University of Pennsylvania, he is still very pleased to see such outstanding young people being cultivated in China.

Genius is hard to find!

…

Ning Wei followed Yu Xingwei out of the lecture hall facing all kinds of strange looks.

I planned to go back to my room directly, but I was stopped by a few middle-aged white men at the door of the reporting hall.

Fortunately, it wasn't robbery.

Just in the envious eyes of countless young people passing by, he and Yu Xingwei accepted business cards one after another.

Apparently, probably only the two people who were stopped didn't know who these people were.

"Ning Wei, it should be pronounced like this, okay, forgive my poor Chinese skills, but please believe in my sincerity. Do you know Google's ATAR department? I work in it. It's not appropriate today, but if you are interested in us If this department is interested, maybe we can take some time to chat during the meeting. Here is my contact information..."

After a similar simple conversation, Ning Wei got a total of seven business cards.

What surprised Yu Xingwei next to him was that even though they were all competitors for people, they could still line up politely, introduce themselves one by one, and then hand out their business cards...

What makes Yu Xingwei feel ridiculous is that among these people are people from Cisco. Does he really not know that Cisco’s offer is still hanging in the lobby of the teaching building of the School of Mathematics?

"Sure enough, this is a country that is hypocritical to the core. If you were in another country, you would probably be carried away as soon as the robbery began!" Yu Xingwei said sourly.

To say I'm not envious would be a lie.

They are all world-class companies. The attitude of such a group coming to our door is obviously that they are not afraid of Ningwei's exorbitant price. It's just that I didn't directly say that as long as you dare to come, I dare to say this.

So it’s time to make a suggestion to Mr. Xiao Ning, what price is suitable?

As soon as this question came to mind, Yu Xingwei quickly shook his head and threw it behind him.

I want to eat shit!

If he didn't take Ning Wei back, he would probably be useless in this life. He also understood the deeper reason why his boss asked him to follow Ning Wei 24 hours a day. How could he be afraid of any danger? You are obviously afraid that your cabbage will be lost by other people's pigs, right?

With this realization, Yu Xingwei felt that he needed to explore Ning Wei's tone.

So on the way back to the hotel room, Yu Xingwei said: "Mr. Xiao Ning."

"Well, Brother Yu, what's wrong?"

"So many big companies are vying for you. If it were me, I wouldn't go back at all." Yu Xingwei said seriously.

"What are you thinking about? If I dare to stay, my dad can come to the United States and break my legs." Ning Wei replied casually.

"Father Ning is mighty!" Yu Xingwei muttered silently in his heart. It would be nice if he didn't have this thought, and he could sleep peacefully.

However, just when Yu Xingwei felt that he was safe, the two of them were blocked by a slim figure in the corridor.

Yu Xingwei raised his head, then froze.

It's that Lucy again, this woman...

Wait, could it be that instead of using inducement, it was a honey trap?

Did Ning’s father ever say that he would have his legs broken if he dared to marry a foreign wife?

He was thinking about all these things in his mind, but Yu Xingwei's movements were not slow at all. He glanced at the woman's fire-breathing eyes and took half a step behind, so that the two of them could have a psychologically independent chat environment.

"I didn't pay attention to that paper in Nature, so I didn't know you were still a mathematician." Lucy said, staring into Ning Wei's eyes.

"Um? Mathematician? No, no, no, I'm just..."

"Stop emphasizing that you are just a college student. This will make me want to strangle you to death with my own hands! You are a mathematician!" the woman emphasized, raising her slender neck.

"If this can make you feel better..." Ning Wei was halfway through his words again when he was forced back by the ferocious look in the milky smell.

No need to argue.

Mathematicians are mathematicians.

At this moment, Ning Wei thought of Xu Ruixuan's emotion in the dormitory one night.

"Never reason with a woman who looks angry, because from the moment she decides to get angry, she is not going to have any rational discussion with the world."

He didn't quite understand what kind of experience could make the kid in the dormitory have such a sentiment, but he felt that Xu Ruixuan was better than him at understanding girls, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to catch up with Xu Mo.

So Ning Wei changed his words in a very shameless manner: "Yes, I am probably a mathematician who knows a little bit about algorithms."

"Understand a little bit?"

"Oh no, Mastery!"

"Well! As a mathematician who is proficient in algorithms, Mr. Ning Wei, can you spare some time to help me answer a few questions about the algorithm?" Lucy asked.

In fact, she had been worrying about how to say this with an attitude.

She also admired Ning Wei's answers at the report meeting after the frustration, but all the admiration disappeared after Ning Wei's last words, "I'm just an undergraduate", leaving only shame and annoyance.

There are some key nodes, and if you don’t understand them, it will be very uncomfortable.

Hence the current scene, which is neither fish nor fowl.

Although the tone of the request was a bit harsh, a gentleman with dignity would not refuse such a request. However, she forgot that the boy in front of her had never behaved like a gentleman.

"I really don't have time for this." Ning Wei simply refused.

He has experience in this kind of thing, and he simply rejected Gong Xiaofei at that time.

I made a mistake with Yang Xiaohui. I can't make this mistake again.

When Ning Wei was behind him, Yu Xingwei couldn't help but secretly praise him in his heart, but then he rolled his eyes...

No wonder everyone gave Ning Weian a label of incomprehensible style.

It's so apt.

At this moment, Yu Xingwei even felt that Ning's father should worry about whether he could become a grandfather in the future.

Apparently the female genius at Harvard was as surprised as Yu Xingwei and asked: "Why? A gentleman..."

"Stop, if I have to consider myself a mathematician who is proficient in algorithms, I will admit it, but I am really not a gentleman, and I really don't have time."

"Okay, let me ask you, what do you need to do now? Do boys also have to spend two or three hours dressing up for a dinner party?"

"There will be some content in today's report that touches me very much. I want to record something before today's dinner."

"Then let me guess, was it Mr. Lermontov's report on the new random algorithm this morning that inspired you?"

"Huh? How do you know?" Ning Wei looked at the woman in front of him in surprise.

After all, there were five reports today, and the random algorithm report ranked second was not the most important, and his thoughts had not been told to anyone yet. In addition to suggesting that Yu Xingwei choose this direction for his doctoral proposal report.

And Yu Xingwei really stayed with him. Even when he was giving a report, the distance between their seats was at least ten meters, and it was impossible for him to have any communication with this woman. Of course, even if the two of them sat together, Yu Xingwei did not. Any reason to talk to this Harvard female student about these things.

"Because this professor's report also inspired me a lot. The method of combining two independent sources of weak random numbers into a nearly random set, and then using elastic functions to convert them into random bits is very creative, but then On this basis, we can actually go further, such as overlapping with the randomness of the environment and taking into account the correlation of random number sequences..."

"Well, your idea makes sense, but have you ever thought about a question? Since this method can pick up point values ​​from sources with extremely weak randomness, can it be understood as..."

"I don't quite agree with your point of view. When computers deal with randomness problems, it is because of the accuracy of floating point operations that they will always be directly biased towards specific values ​​in the random process. For example, why does the human brain react in certain aspects? The ability can be much higher than that of computers, because our brains can spontaneously filter out a lot of unimportant and repetitive information. For example, when you stay in the toilet, you feel smelly at first, but after a long time, you no longer feel it, and for example..."

"That makes sense, but how do you understand that using elastic functions to combine information can prevent deviations?"

"Wait, I need a pen and paper, why not go to my room first?"

"Okay, I happen to need it too."

…

Yu Xingwei looked at this scene in astonishment...

Then stunned!

What the hell is going on?

who is he? Where is he? What is he doing?

The two of them just left side by side while discussing?

No one even turned to look at him and asked his opinion? Is he really that redundant?

Didn't Ning Wei just refuse to continue communicating with this woman? Why did you directly agree to go with this woman to her room?

So the question is, should he follow?

Standing there for half a second, Boss Lu's instructions before leaving came to mind. Yu Xingwei gritted his teeth and followed. After talking about round-the-clock personal protection, you can't leave for even a minute...

Although he has more and more confidence in Ning Wei's integrity, if there is another little Ning Wei in the world in just four days, he, Yu Xingwei, really cannot bear that responsibility!
