The bustling Olympic Games ushered in the closing ceremony.

The global event attracted the attention of countless people around the world, and both the opening and closing ceremonies also left a deep impression on countless people. The competition also caused a lot of controversy as in previous years, but these are all to be expected.

However, in the eyes of the Chinese people, the fairness of the referees in this Olympic Games is still worthy of praise. After all, China's achievements in the Olympic Games this year have reached new highs in terms of the number of gold medals and medals. In particular, the breakthroughs in some non-advantage events have brought many surprises to many viewers who follow the Olympics. Of course, there are also regrets for many people. For example, even though the referees are very good and the host country has the advantage, the performance of the Chinese men's football team is still as stable as in the past...

The women's football team once again surprised the Chinese people.

In the busy process of Olympic Games, many people ignored a lot of news.

For example, a certain aviation base in China was still working diligently during the Olympics and launched two satellites into the sky. For example, the multi-segment expansion design of the China Space Station came in handy. During the Olympics, a new segment was welcomed and the docking was successful.

This cabin named "Wu Gang" is claimed to be a new scientific experiment cabin. Of course, China has no obligation to announce the specific experiments. Everyone can use their own imagination to make guesses.

However, it is said that the newly launched cabin is in the thirty-ton class, while most of the other experimental cabins are in the twenty-ton class.

CNN reprinted on Facebook the calculation results that are said to be from an expert. Driven by more than ten tons of fuel, it is enough for the space station to realize a weird idea of ​​helping every smoker proposed by a Chinese academician in a video. I thought, but the article was quickly taken down.

Fortunately, at that time, most of everyone's attention was still on the lively Olympic Games, and not many people paid attention to this article. As we all know, in fact, on software such as Facebook and Twitter, popular science articles are not very popular unless the media can give the article a shocking title and then excerpt some of the arguments in the article to prove the title. It's really scary...

Facts have proven that the traffic this method of operation can achieve is huge.

But probably during the Olympics, CNN felt that it should give face to the World Olympic Committee and felt that it could not steal the traffic of the Olympics, so it took the initiative to withdraw the article. After all, as a foreign media, CNN would not inform China what their thoughts were. China I guess no one would be so embarrassed that they would take the initiative to ask.

The world is still the same world anyway.

In addition to these things other than the Olympics, the Olympics itself also has surprises.

For example, the March intelligent system was introduced to fully intervene in the game monitoring and replay system, allowing the whole world to witness the intelligence of March. In any game, when the referee needs to watch the game video to determine whether there is a foul, he only needs to pause and walk to the screen. The system will automatically find the controversial part and then play it repeatedly from multiple angles with the help of multiple cameras. What happened in a split second.

Especially for this Olympics, all photojournalists’ photography equipment is specially prepared and is also connected to the March intelligent system. This allows referees to obtain more accurate information, and even some actions that indicate whether there is a foul or not, March It can also give its own suggestions directly on the screen based on the rules of the game it understands. Of course, it is up to the referee whether to adopt it or not.

But the fact is that for all events of this Olympic Games, including various collective ball games, 428 penalty suggestions were given through this system in March, of which 427 were adopted by on-site referees, with an adoption rate of 99.77%. .

After all, this is a fairly new topic and has been widely discussed by many viewers. Therefore, when a dispute arises, most TV stations around the world with broadcast rights will cut the live footage to the March Intelligent System's advice to the referee.

The only time it was not adopted occurred on the football field. It was probably because the referee felt that a certain team had already lost miserably anyway, and there was really no need to give the winner who had already won three goals another threatening frontcourt. After all, as an on-site referee, you still have to give the host country some face. Anyway, this optional ball did not cause any controversy.

This operation can be regarded as a big reveal of March in front of people all over the world, and it once again proves that China's artificial intelligence is an era ahead of the world. It can not only understand natural language, communicate without barriers, but also read rules. very powerful.

Of course, it wasn't just understanding the rules that made March stand out.

After the closing ceremony, Chen Wenwen, the chief director of the Olympic Games who was appointed at the critical moment, accepted an interview with the official media and talked about the story behind the opening ceremony. Because Ning Wei did not want Chen Wenwen to mention his name during the interview, the director thanked Zhang Dingxi and March when introducing his ideas and creativity, especially how to combine elements such as space and technology.

The reason for thanking the former was naturally because he stayed up all night for several days, finally decided on the hanging three-dimensional display plan, and communicated with the production company to rush the completion, so that the Olympic opening ceremony could be more exciting; as for thanking March, the director revealed that in fact, the entire The ignition process is completely controlled by this manual system.

This is an officially certified capability of the huge March computing platform.

Therefore, the talk show that was supposed to cause repercussions in the entertainment industry directly shocked the entire academic and technological circles.

Many technology companies have begun to re-evaluate the role of the March intelligent computing platform in promoting technological development, and more well-known universities around the world have begun to take interest. After this episode of the interview was broadcast, some Ivy League universities in the United States have applied to the Yanbei University International Mathematics Research Center, hoping to access the March Intelligent Computing Platform to conduct some data analysis.

However, currently, most of the applications submitted are fringe projects in the theoretical field.

Of course, this is understandable. Everyone is still a little worried about data security, especially for large-scale projects invested by investors. Accessing the system for calculations means that laboratory data can be obtained on demand. For some important or economically beneficial projects, it is obviously not reassuring to sign a privacy agreement.

Not to mention that the first article of the privacy agreement provided by March stipulates that laboratory data will be incorporated into the March database. Although it will not be shared directly with member units, March can use these data to provide mathematical modeling for all member units. and a series of services including rational advice.

However, the March Journal Committee, which is responsible for receiving these applications, has an indifferent attitude towards the fact that there are no key project applications.

Yong Ningwei's suggestion is that as long as the application letter is written with sincerity and is willing to connect to the platform, rather than being stingy and giving some data analysis like squeezing toothpaste, then I agree. The high-sounding reason is that for the well-being of the people of the world, it is necessary to share intelligent computing power. However, in private, everyone knows that Ning Wei is not such a generous person, and mainly expands March's database through these theoretical studies.

Maybe you can use this data in your own laboratory projects, which can save you a lot of detours and save a lot of money and time.

It can be seen from this point that the concerns of many foreign universities and key laboratories are not unreasonable. Their general judgment about Ning Wei was actually correct. But in Ning Wei's opinion, this is normal.

It costs money to build so many supercomputing centers and computer rooms for March, but currently it is free to provide computing power services to these foreign friends. As we all know, there is no such thing as a free lunch. The extended view is that free and useful things are often the most expensive.

However, Ning Wei does not feel that it is necessary to promote the March Intelligent Platform. In fact, various universities within China and laboratories under the Chinese Academy of Sciences can provide a lot of experimental data every year. How can I put it, among the data obtained by the March database every day Even Ning Wei was surprised. At this time, the advantage of having more people comes into play. God knows, graduate students and doctoral students are spending every day in the laboratory outputting various data.

This even made Ning Wei begin to believe a popular joke in academic circles.

It is said that there is a synthetic coating material abroad, which is very expensive to sell to China, so China decided to develop it on its own, and the specific tasks were assigned to several qualified laboratories. When foreign companies knew that China was planning to do this, they still mocked them arrogantly. It was impossible for Chinese people to produce similar coating materials within ten years.

However, the final result was that in less than half a year, similar materials were developed in China. A relevant laboratory staff member gave a calm explanation during an interview.

Yes, the composition of this synthetic coating material is very complex, but it only consists of so many elements. We use the method of permutation and combination to synthesize the ingredients in the laboratory with a ratio of 0.5%. All participants in the project The laboratories cooperated with each other. In five months, everyone worked overtime and conducted more than 38,000 tests, and then successfully found a formula with equivalent performance, thus breaking the foreign monopoly.

This is probably a miracle caused by great efforts, a simple artificial brute force cracking. Of course, this also illustrates the current living environment of China's material science and biology profession. It is really not just talk to make one's head bald when doing experiments.

Of course, now with the March Intelligent System, accessed member units can greatly reduce this kind of repetitive testing, which can not only reduce the loss of materials, but also save the time of countless scientific researchers.

But for Ning Wei, these things are actually just clouds.

Specifically telling Chen Wenwen not to mention him during the interview has already shown Ning Wei's mentality now. He really doesn't want to cause trouble. People probably only have all kinds of fantasies about becoming famous when they are not famous. Now Ning Wei just feels that it is good to live a peaceful life. Being talked about every day will make you feel tired no matter how peaceful you are.

But Ningwei is very happy recently.

Because CERN approved his request to rent high-energy physics equipment for experiments almost at the speed of light. The only problem is that before accessing the March system to collect data, he needs to go through a data security review. He needs to come forward to accept some questions or inquiries. Of course, this inquiry can be conducted remotely.

For this reason, Edwin George called him specifically and explained to him for about half an hour why this link was set up. Although it took a long time, it probably meant that this safety inquiry meeting was just a formality. He had already arranged the specific process and passed the approval. As long as Ning Wei doesn't talk nonsense when being questioned and gives guarantees, he can pass the test smoothly.

How should I put it? This phone call is like passing the retest line for the postgraduate entrance examination. The tutor takes the initiative to call you to tell you what questions will be asked in the retest and how you should answer to satisfy everyone. Of course, even if you talk nonsense, I will do my best. Make sure you get ashore.

At the same time, this statement once again made Ning Wei feel that his billions of dollars were well spent. Under the stimulation of money, a large and bloated scientific research unit not only showed super high efficiency, but also allowed the director of this institution to help him complete his ideas as a server.

What a win...

This once again proves that money is indeed a good thing, and anyone who says money is not a good thing is not a good thing.

Of course, Ning Wei paid a price for being so cooperative. For example, the advance deposit of US$300 million was deposited into a designated account at the request of a man named Abel. Among them, US$250 million went into an account at CERN, and the other US$50 million went into a laboratory account that I had never heard of.

After so many years, Ning Wei finally enjoyed the fun of spreading money.

Facts also proved that Edwin George did not deceive him. The so-called remote questioning only consisted of a few trivial questions, such as asking him to verbally promise that he would not use this access data collection to illegally collect CERN data over the years. Accumulated test data.

Of course, Ning Wei denied this attempt, saying that in fact, he studied physics just for fun, and had no interest in the data accumulated by CERN for more than ten years. Of course, he would not think about stealing it, and then he praised CERN a few words. Achievements in high-energy physics have been achieved in recent years. For example, 90% of the world's papers on high-energy physics are issued from CERN every year...

So the other party believed what he said.

Of course, this is actually not true. Ning Wei still wants the data that CERN has accumulated over the years. Although some data can be found in the paper, the vast majority of laboratory data is still on their hard drive.

If we have this data, maybe we can analyze a lot of things in March...

What made Ning Wei even more happy was that he saw his passport again.

Really, I haven’t seen this thing in many years...

Looking at his only three overseas experiences on the passport, I have mixed feelings.

When I traveled to Thailand, I felt like I was either riding in a car or on the road every day. The other two times that I remember most were only the activities in the hotel. This country is really lonely.

Of course, what made him even more happy was that this time he could go with classmate Jiang instead of the old senior brother Yu who was not at all understanding of the style.

It can be said that it is a win!
