In fact, Tian Yan really knew that Lu Dongyi was led by Ning Wei, and this can be seen from Lu Dongyi's proactive report and revised the research topic. But what Tian Yan really didn't expect was that this was no longer as simple as leading to the bias. Lu Dongyi looked like he was brainwashed by Ning Wei.

You should know that Lu Dongyi has always been a typical and reassuring scientific researcher personality. The only disadvantage is that he is a little dull in life. But the biggest problem with Lu Dongyi now is that he doesn’t think that Ning Wei is wasting time on making these remarks every day, but he thinks that it is right.

What is this not brainwashing?

Popular science is indeed popular science. Who would take Elon Musk's words seriously? Whether it is making an applicable-level simulated artificial intelligence robot or immigrating to Mars within 30 years, anyone with discerning eyes knows that this is just for his business logic. The difficulty is so great. After all, what this guy says is basically something that is unlikely to be able to figure out after his brain.

In other words, business has the logic of the business circle, and scientific research has the logic of the scientific research circle. The two logics have never been integrated. Ning Wei does something to mix the logic of the business circle and the logic of the scientific research circle to conduct a so-called popular science. What is even more terrifying is that the method is extremely rough and directly popularizes the most hard-core theories. God knows where Ning Wei found so much public information, and then combined it with his profound mathematical skills.

If you sort out all the content posted by Ning Wei Weibo from the beginning to see the end, you will find that this can already be a scientific research summary report on Earth landing on Mars that is almost rigorous and complete, which makes many aerospace experts have nothing to say. The data calculates the rocket thrust based on the spacecraft capacity, and even finds the best launch plan and delivery route at the most time node.

It is enough to use these data to build a round-trip transportation model from Earth to Mars. Although these calculations are designed with the most ideal conditions and environment, it is already very powerful for a young man to do this.

Not to mention that the details of these calculations are given the material issues of the round-trip spacecraft, which made Tian Yanzhen suspect that Ning Wei really thought about building a spacecraft to go out and go around Mars.

Of course, these are all the hobbies of young people, Tian Yanzhen was too lazy to pay attention to it. Ning Wei also told him that he was going to use his Weibo to do popular science, and Tian Yanzhen agreed. After all, it is a good thing for young scientists to do popular science for the people, but Ning Wei is always so good at surprise him. He didn't expect that Ning Wei's popular science can be so hard-core, causing such a big storm, and even once affected the sales of a brand of electric vehicles, forcing Tesla to issue an announcement again to clarify that electric vehicles are electric vehicles, and Tesla has nothing to do with the boss's plan to immigrate to Mars...

It’s a lot of pressure! Really, since Tian Yanzhen accepted Ning Wei, every once in a while, countless calls would come to ask his students what they wanted to do recently? Is it Ning Wei’s meaning or the research center’s meaning? Who knows that feeling has experienced it? Although it still makes him look very stressed most of the time, it also brings a lot of pressure.

For example, now colleagues all over the world are asking him indirectly whether Master offended them through various means. How did he answer? He is not familiar with Master?

That's fine. Even Lu Dongyi felt that Ning Wei was just about being a normal popular science. If there was nothing wrong with it, Tian Yanzhen wouldn't believe it. With such a large project volume, God knows how long it took to collect information, and then it needs to be integrated. Then it will be crazily sent out for two weeks, just to expose the ambition made by an American entrepreneur during his speech... Is this full, right?

Not to mention that Ning Wei still has a criminal record. It is less than three months since he has fired a fire on his high-tech project. At the end of September and early October, the Metaverse in December has been angrily criticizing his Mars immigration plan. If Ning Wei did not mean it, Tian Yanzhen was a little disbelief.

"Ning Wei, did Elon Musk offend you? You were not afraid of offending people in the interview before. It seems that you are really not afraid!" Tian Yanzhen asked.

"I don't have a half-cent relationship with him, so how could I offend me? I really just want to do popular science and complete part of my ideal by the way. Now it seems that the effect is quite good." Ning Wei explained.

"Okay, then what is your ideal?" Tian Yanzhen asked.

"Make your own contribution to the world's scientific and technological progress and people all over the world to understand science." Ning Wei replied smoothly.

Lu Dongyi took the materials and lowered his head with a serious face. He began to think, as if he had not heard the conversation between the two.

"Okay, let me change the question. How is your research on the top youth project?" Tian Yanzhen decisively changed to a topic that could not be high-profile.

"With breakthrough progress, I could basically write a final report before the New Year. By the way, when it comes to this matter, there is really something difficult to handle. Director Tian, ​​you see that my project is almost completed, but the funds have not been used up yet. What should I do?" Ning Wei suddenly thought of a more troublesome question.

Tian Yanzhen was speechless for a moment.

I wanted to borrow a project topic and imply that Ning Wei cherishes time, but I didn’t expect to get such an answer. Especially for the topic of endless scientific research expenses, Tian Yanzhen pondered for a moment: "It will be very troublesome if others can’t use it. This is unreasonable for applying for funds, especially if the money for this longitudinal research project will be directly recovered before it is used up, which will affect the approval of your next project application funds. But you don’t care, you are not short of money anyway."

"But I suggest you still need to use some of it. For example, if you and Lu Dongyi went to the meeting last time, you can also issue some tickets to reimburse part of the reimbursement. I'm not thinking about you, but if your scientific research funds don't move and spread out, what should you do if you ask the children and professors who have applied for math projects?"

"You can buy a supercomputer center yourself, but it costs money to apply for supercomputer. Other expenses such as purchasing some software and literature are also expensive. Many professors need to use scientific research funds to pay their doctoral students, graduate students pay their salaries, organize some academic conferences, etc., and go out to communicate with other colleagues. But outsiders don't know that you should not be unique in this kind of thing."

Ning Wei nodded and then answered: "Oh, that's OK, then I'll try to spend more than half of it before finishing the topic."

Tian Yanzhen replied: "Yes, it costs a little bit. It's okay to save a little bit. Anyway, you can't spend it all, it doesn't have universal meaning, and no one will say more. Wait, the Chinese New Year will be next month, which means you can finish the topic during this period?"

"Yes! So you don't have to worry, really, don't think I've been doing popular science, but my project research has never been pulled down. The final report will definitely satisfy you!" Ning Wei answered seriously and confidently.

There is always a kind of student in this world where the tutors can’t find any point to criticize even if they want to criticize. There is no doubt that Ning Wei belongs to such a student. When encountering this type of doctoral student, a skilled tutor is likely to be reluctant to criticize him bluntly, so Tian Yanzhen found that he had nothing to say.

If he forced him to continue, Tian Yanzhen felt that Ning Wei would probably start considering his doctoral thesis. With Ning Wei's current research speed, if he really wanted to graduate, Tian Yanzhen suspected that it would not take long to hand over a doctoral thesis of sufficient quality, but he really didn't want Ning Wei to graduate too soon. After all, everyone has not established a deep enough relationship.

"Okay, since you don't feel that you have delayed your time and energy, I won't care. But science is popular, don't always stay up late and make your body hurt. Lu Dongyi, go back and talk to classmate Jiang, let Ning Wei rest early every day, so I'll leave first."

After saying that, Tian Yanzhen simply stood up and left. Lu Dongyi was able to take a stack of information on Ning Wei's desk.

"It's not easy for Director Tian. You are so high-profile. As a mentor, the pressure is quite high. I heard that just to help you turn off various interviews, Director Tian has been calling for more than two hours." Lu Dongyi sighed.

"I really don't want to accept any interviews during this period. It's boring to say anything now." Ning Wei said casually.

"You misunderstood. Director Tian was just afraid that you would talk nonsense when you were interviewed, which would put more pressure on the research center. However, objectively speaking, it did create a relatively quiet research environment for you. Now the security guards at the door are all very careful, and there is no official pass. Those who look like reporters are blocking them outside." Lu Dongyi said angrily.

Ning Wei didn't feel embarrassed at all, but just asked back, "Don't Brother Lu think these are worth it? You can also see how good the effect of this large-scale public beta is, right? Besides, is it easy for me to find a topic that can allow the whole people to participate? Besides, for the sake of scientific progress, what is this little bit of pressure? Has such a large-scale Turing test been carried out in human history?"

"And you can almost see the test results now. My Weibo backend data shows that the number of direct participants has exceeded 100 million, and the number of indirect participants is definitely more, but no one has questioned whether these Weibo posts are human or machine. As for Elon Master, as an entrepreneur who is determined to promote the progress of human science, after the answer to the mystery is revealed, he can understand that we use this topic as the entry point, and we will definitely feel excited."

Lu Dongyi was silent and looked at Ning Wei and said, "What if Musk was not happy after the answer was revealed, and even wanted to slap you?"

Ning thought for a while and replied: "That can only be said that the character of making promoting the world's technological progress as his own responsibility is just created by Master himself, and it is not essentially different from the character of a top student in the entertainment industry. So in fact, he is not as great as he shows. All his remarks are still for capital, and at most they can only be considered an ideal deception. In this case, we will feel more at ease in this topic. Do we need to feel guilty if we expose a false character?"

Lu Dongyi nodded, savored it carefully, and then commented: "No, not bad, you really have a bit of robber logic when you say that."

Ning Wei shook his head and retorted: "No, this is just a simple person who is stronger and who is reasonable. How can it be said that it is robber logic?"

As she was arguing, Ning Wei's phone suddenly vibrated, picked it up and looked at it, and the prompted that there was another new email from March's email address.

Since the start of this large-scale Turing test, Ning Wei has temporarily taken over March's email. Of course, this takeover is mostly just a look. The less important emails are still answered by March himself. He really doesn't have the energy to discuss in-depth topics about the underlying logic of artificial intelligence with a group of colleagues.

However, this email surprised Ning Wei a little because it was sent by the National Wolf Foundation.

The Wolf Fund is the main fund of the Wolf Prize. Simply put, the prizes issued to the Wolf Prize winners are provided by the Wolf Foundation. Although the Wolf Prize is not too much, only 100,000 US dollars, at least incomparable to the Nobel Prize, for a top international award, the amount of money is never a problem.

The meaning of this email is also very simple. The general idea is that March has been included in the list of candidates for the Wolf Mathematics Award this year. However, given that it has been confirmed that March is just a pseudonym and cannot get personal real identity information after contacting the unit, I sent an email asking March to provide its real identity information and contact number if he does not want to give up the selection.

It is a very reasonable requirement. After all, the jury cannot really award the winner to a professor of unknown origin. Even though March has shown extremely high academic standards and has received praise from many people. Fortunately, it would rather be prepared early, otherwise I would have missed it. Of course, I won’t talk about whether I can win the award in the end, and I still have to fight for this opportunity.

So after brainstorming with Lu Dongyi for about an hour, Yu Xingwei rushed to Ning Wei's office.

"Brother Yu, we're finally here, let's check your email."

Ning Wei called out the email from the Wolf Foundation to read it to Yu Xingwei.

"Mr. Xiao Ning, this joke is really a bit big, right?"

Although he had already agreed to it well before, Yu Xingwei still felt timid when things came to an end. This was a world-class award. What kind of virtue was he capable of? It was a bit too exciting to make such jokes with a group of world-class mathematicians.

"I'm really scared?" Ning Wei turned his head and glanced at Yu Xingwei.

Yu Xingwei thought about it, but in the end he took out his ID card and doctoral certificate from his pocket.
Chapter completed!
