Du Shaodong was looking at the report in front of him.

Even though the school as a whole has lagged behind in the response to public opinion, he still felt it had been a positive impact for so long.

Actually, there is no need to feel it.

He had received calls from several brother school masters, and the congratulations also had a hint of sour smell that made people feel very comfortable.

When he saw the specific report, his heart even sucked.

After Ning Wei's performance at the conference rose to a hot topic in China, Jiangda's search index on major search engines has greatly improved year-on-year and month-on-month, and the number of incoming calls from the admissions office has increased wildly.

Moreover, it has just entered March and has not yet reached the serious enrollment period. If this popularity can be maintained, the positive impact on the school's enrollment this year will be self-evident.

But the more you look at it, the more you become more frustrated.

From the perspective of his principal, Ning Wei's value at this time has long exceeded the honors he received from the school by participating in a top international conference.

This kind of heat brought to the school by public discussion is likely to be the improvement of the quality of students in the next year to a few years. From the perspective of the school, this is more valuable than several papers with the name of the school.

The reason for being frustrated is that the school is likely to be unable to keep such a student who can be used as a signboard.

Ning Wei and Yanbei University have been in a day or two, and they have not hidden it. All of this happened after he had a deep conversation with Ning Wei and had promised the best conditions.

How could you not be bored?

So Du Shaodong picked up the phone.

"Old Confucius, Ning Wei hasn't made any statement yet? Should your Mathematical Academy be more positive?"

"President Du, I have done all the work I should do, but it's hard to force someone to give up the opportunity to study at Yanbei University, right? Do you think our professors at the School of Mathematics don't want to keep people? This is not the case that our School of Mathematics will not be blamed on our School of Mathematics! If the Graduate Admissions Office had not stuck with the application for students from the school's recommended students, wouldn't he have been left behind by us long ago?"

This is very reasonable and Principal Du cannot refute it.

"Bang" hung up the phone. Du Shaodong called the graduate school with a call. After asking about the situation in a calm tone, he asked: "There was a teacher Xue in the Graduate Admissions Office in the past? "

"Yes, but I have been transferred from my original position and am now responsible for the maintenance of the media laboratory."

"Oh, that's how I heard someone's reaction recently? Some colleges of science have seriously exceeded the standards for laboratory administrative positions. Is this a situation?"

"The laboratory administrative post exceeds the standard? Oh, yes, I have heard of this problem, so I will communicate with the logistics department and ask them to check it out first?"

"Well! As soon as possible! Report to me directly if there is a result!"

"Okay, Principal Du!"

I hung up the phone and felt a little angry, but I seemed to be even more bored.

...

Ning Wei, who was still in the United States, didn't know that his speech at the SODA conference was like a big roc flapping dozens of wings, directly blowing the wind thousands of miles away.

After pulling Yu Xingwei back to the room, he turned on his laptop.

Professor Shen is right!

It is indeed easy to spark his thoughts when communicating with his peers. For example, his communication with Lucy Ron made his thinking much clearer.

He wants to write a program, a program that relies on precise floating-point operations but can randomly and independently select the direction of evolution and finally incubate.

This is definitely much more interesting than Schrödinger's cat, and it's more like opening a blind box. Before the blind box chooses and hatches it into a state, even the person who created this program doesn't know what will pop out of that box.

So although the program code has not started to be typing, Ning Wei has already thought of the name of this mini program first, and it is called Ning Wei's black box.

Sure enough, when he was immersed in this program, he once again found the feeling of comfort when he was crazy output.

This time, it is different from tinkering with turbulence algorithms and wanting to get an EDA project, because he can complete all the work of typing the code alone without help.

Because according to the concept in the brain, this program code itself is not very complicated. What is complex and even exquisite is the mathematical ideas and structures contained in it.

"Mr. Xiao Ning, what are you going to do?"

Seeing Ning Wei rushing into the room, he opened his laptop and started to be busy. Yu Xingwei refused to see this scene from the bottom of his heart.

He hopes that Ning Wei can act normally, for example, with him, watch American blockbusters and discuss the violent aesthetics under the lens of the United States. After finally coming out, why can't we relax our body and mind and have a spiritual spa?

If it really doesn't work, they can just go to the dinner to hang out and communicate with the big guys!

What is the difference between typing codes in a hotel in a tourist city in the United States and busy in a lab?

Well, the essence of this matter is that when you see a person who is already better than him and who works harder than him, it is very easy for people to feel a negative emotion called despair!

However, Ning Wei's answer made Yu Xingwei realize that his inner worries were facts.

"There is an inspiration. After discussing with Lucy, I feel that I might be able to write a program that is the originator of artificial intelligence."

Hearing this answer...

Yu Xingwei is really depressed.

However, Ning Wei's performance made him even more depressed, because this guy was really immersed in the world of programming and ignored his depression at all.

Oh……

This is what is called genius!

...

As Feng Shaojie predicted, people left one after another since the second day of the meeting.

Even the POSTER hall has fewer displayers.

Especially for many people who come to attend the meeting at their own expense, every extra day of food and accommodation is a big burden. Of course, more people choose to leave simply because they have finished listening to what they want to listen to, so there is no need to waste time at the meeting. It is better to stroll around and have fun with the extra time.

But Yu Xingwei had to stay in the room for most of the two consecutive days, playing with his mobile phone and competing with Ning Wei, the so-called originator of artificial intelligence program.

During this period, Professor Shen visited him once, and Feng Shaojie also came to chat with him several times, but Ning Wei was busy with his own business after saying hello.

It was Lucy Ron who came twice, and the two had a very in-depth exchange. No, it should be said that it was from discussion to quarrel...

It's a real academic quarrel.

This also refreshed Yu Xingwei's perception of Ning Wei. Ning Wei, who has always been quite gentle in his daily life, defended his point of view without giving in to a complicated random number sampling problem...

He even said something unceremoniously that Yu Xingwei thought it was extremely awesome when he remembered it: "Ms. Ron, I admit that you have made great achievements in your research field, but probably you have wasted too much time to maintain your so-called charm of the opposite sex, so that you can understand some advanced mathematical ideas as naive as a newborn baby! The wasted attention even eroded your thoughts! Burn all your piles of evening gowns, the praise they received will only make you go further and further on the stupid road!"

Hearing this, Yu Xingwei was still glad that the two of them communicated in English, otherwise he would have suspected that Ning Wei would have changed the word "stupid" to "big and brainless" if he said it smoothly!

But the results are no different.

The Harvard female doctor turned around and left the room angrily. The sound of closing the door before leaving could probably make the entire floor tremble!

However, Ning Wei, as if nothing had happened in the next moment, continued to sit in front of his computer and began to continue programming...

A 23-year-old female doctor from Harvard, the official darling of an Ivy League prestigious university...

After seeing this scene, Yu Xingwei even secretly felt grateful in his heart that fortunately this meeting was not in Cambridge, the location of Harvard University, otherwise he would have doubted whether Ning Wei and him could walk out of Harvard's school gate upright...

This also made Yu Xingwei more interested in Ning Wei's program.

What exactly is it? Can a gentle child become so irritable?

Fortunately, he didn't make him curious for too long. On the third night of the conference, he was holding his mobile phone and posting pictures obtained through various methods in the group to describe the decadent capitalist life with his miserable colleagues in the laboratory. Ning Wei finally stood up from the computer without having to eat or physically discharge the slag.

"It's done? So fast?" Yu Xingwei asked with some surprise.

Although he knew very well that Ning Wei was definitely a fast gunner in the code-touching industry and more clearly knew how efficient he was, he still felt that it was too fast to be able to afford the term "producer of artificial intelligence".

"It's not fast, right? There are only more than 3,000 lines of programs in total. I have modified them several times in the past two days." Ning Wei stretched his waist and replied.

"Can I see it?"

"Of course! That's it..."

Ning Wei opened the program casually, and Yu Xingwei was a square three-dimensional black box that was so simple that there was no interactive interface.

"That's it?" Yu Xingwei was stunned.

"Dare you underestimate it?" Ning Wei asked back.

"No, this is not a problem that I underestimate. Just tell me that this is a program that exists like the originator of artificial intelligence in the future?" This time Yu Xingwei really felt that his IQ was insulted.

"You have a look at CPU utilization first."

"Well? It's almost full load. No, such a program consumes so much resources, which is an advantage?" Yu Xingwei was still confused.

After all, this means that if you run this program, you will feel that Qika is extremely good when you want to run other programs, and may even directly lead to the system blue screen and crash.

Didn't you hear the laptop's fan spinning so hard?

Ning thought about it and explained: "Don't underestimate it. Really, I specially purchased 3TB of cloud space for it. But this is not the point. The data crawling selection conversion process will consume a lot of traffic. Thanks to the hotel's WIFI and the speed is pretty good, otherwise the money given by the school is probably not enough to buy traffic. In addition, my computer configuration is a little worse, so I don't know if it can achieve the expected results now."

"But what you need to know is that at this time it is completing the self-incubation process of intelligent life through the computer's calculation speed of about 2 billion operations per second. Let's put it this way, you know both Apple's SIRI and Google's Google Assistant, right?"

Yu Xingwei nodded.

"Maybe when it completes its self-evolution, its dialogue ability can appear smarter than them without the help of huge servers in the background. Of course, this is just a possibility. There may be other possibilities. The database published by the World Wide Web is the carrier for it to obtain nutrients. This is what excites me the most, because I don't know what surprises it will bring to me after countless times of self-cquiring data, independently selecting paths, and self-iteration and update."

To be honest, although Yu Xingwei is a computer doctor, through this very abstract description, he actually doesn't understand what kind of program it is. But it sounds really awesome.

But now it seems that the expectation time is going to be extended again.

"Wait until this time tomorrow. The limited time is twenty-four hours. For the current computing power of this laptop, twenty-four hours is enough. You will know what it will look like at that time. But it may fail. After all, this is the first time I tried it. The only troublesome thing is that this software is too computing power and does not have promotion and application value before there is no special hardware matching."

Ning Wei said with regret, then looked at Yu Xingwei: "Brother Yu, for example, would you buy a computer specifically to rent about ten TB of space every year just to maintain this software? Or just rent a server and keep it?"
