The End of Technology

Standing at the back door of the classroom, hiding most of his body behind the wall, listening to the arguments, persuasion, and heckles in the classroom... Ning Zi suddenly understood the tiredness and distress of his former class teacher. This class of professors is not easy to manage.

There were quarrels every day, even in the third class of the first semester. Ning Zi didn't dare to think about what would happen next. People's hearts are floating, and the academic style is not ancient...

Ning Zi was thinking about whether she should turn around and leave, but she happened to be seen by Fang Xu, who had been paying attention outside the classroom.

Professor Fang was obviously a wonderful person. He didn't remind the two old academicians who were still confronting each other in the classroom, and simply walked out of the back door quietly.

"Xiao Ning, here you go."

How to call Ning Zi can be said to be the most confusing thing for Fang Xu.

"Classmate Ning" was hard to pronounce. In fact, Fang Xu had never seen Ning Jie as a student since that day. Professor Ning was definitely not very accurate. After all, Ning Zi did not have a professorial title yet. In the end, he could only take advantage of his age and affectionately call him Xiao Ning.

"Well, today's situation...whose idea was it?" Ning Zi pointed at the classroom that was already full and asked.

Fang Xu blushed slightly. After all, he was an academic and was not that thick-skinned. He could only explain awkwardly: "I saw that Mr. Lu's students all benefited a lot from the last class, so everyone also wanted to make themselves better." Students come to see the world."

He could barely explain it, but facing Ning Zhe's clear gaze, Fang Xu's face turned even redder and he murmured, "I'll go talk to the two old academicians and ask them to stop arguing."

"No rush." ​​Ning Zi shook her head.

The two old academicians were in the middle of a quarrel, so it would be unsightly to disturb other people's enjoyment.

Seeing that Fang Xu didn't understand, Ning Zi still explained: "There are not many opportunities to listen to academicians quarreling live. Let everyone see more of the world."

This wave of explanations is enough to prove that Ning Zi was still somewhat affected by March...

Of course this is understandable.

After all, one person and one cat get along with each other day and night.

Only Fang Xu was more embarrassed.

"It delayed class..."

"The bell doesn't ring until ten past two, there are still 13 minutes left."

…

Exhausted.

Speaking of which, Fang Xu didn't directly remind the two academicians just now because there were too many people in the classroom today.

But now it seemed to Fang Xu that he might as well just go up and remind the two academicians, rather than step out and explain to Ning Zi.

Fortunately, before he could think of how to respond, Ning Zi took the initiative and asked: "By the way, Professor Fang, my cousin often mentioned you when chatting with me recently, and she also said she planned to take the postgraduate entrance examination. Was it you who encouraged her? "

"Forehead?"

Fang Xu was stunned for a moment, and then answered truthfully: "When we were walking together in the evening, she said that there are not many things to do in the library now, and there is a lot of time available every day, so I suggested something. After all, being idle is idle, so why not Learn about various subjects in the library and try to take the postgraduate entrance examination in whichever area you are interested in."

"Oh." Ning Zi nodded, then stared at Fang Xu and asked, "Let's take a walk at night? Occasionally? Often?"

Fang Xu replied with some embarrassment: "Only in the recent period."

Ning Zi asked curiously: "Professor Fang, how old are you this year?"

"31."

"Not married yet."

"No, I only graduated with a doctorate at 26, and I have been engaged in academic research since then, without thinking about personal issues. I started as a teaching assistant at Yanbei University and am now an associate professor. The academic pressure is also very high."

"You graduated with a doctorate at 26?"

"Well, I skipped grades before. I signed up for the Yanbei Mathematics Talent Class in my sophomore year of high school. I was only 16 years old at the time, and then I signed up for a bachelor's, master's and doctoral program. It took me ten years to graduate, which is not a short period of time."

Ning Zi blinked, roughly understanding the growth process of an academic professor like Fang Xu.

A real winner in life, basically without any detours. After a few years of study, he became a university professor, and he was so stable that countless people envied him.

"You never chose to study abroad?"

"Well, Yanbei signed an exchange program with Harvard at that time and went to Harvard as an exchange student for a year. He never went out after he came back."

"Oh." Ning Zi nodded and commented, "Well, Harvard's School of Mathematics is just like that."

"Uh..." Fang Xu opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything to refute. After all, Ning Zi was indeed qualified to say this. In fact, as far as the current situation is concerned, Ning Zi can probably say it with confidence if he replaces Harvard with any well-known university.

"But Professor Duncan's level is still pretty good. You can communicate more with him." Ning Zi added.

"I know this. Professor Duncan has always been known for his contributions in many fields in the academic world." Fang Xu nodded and agreed.

Ning Zi actually thinks that this young professor is not bad, but a little too honest.

It’s like when the results were made not long ago, they didn’t dare to publish the paper. They had to ask Ning Zi to publish the paper first, and then he dared to quote it directly after it was published in a journal.

In fact, if Fang Xu directly proved those mathematical tools in his paper at that time, Ning Zi wouldn't have cared too much about it, but now he probably won't look down on the mathematics professor.

"Well, so what?" Ning Zi asked

"Ah? So what?" Fang Xu was slightly stunned.

Ning Zi glanced at Fang Xu and said, "Let Dominic go to Yanbei University to teach temporarily, just to let him get used to teaching in China. In a year, he will be a professor in the Department of Mathematics of the University of Physical Education. I want to learn more from him." Of course, communication must be transferred to the University.”

"Ah?" Fang Xu was stunned.

Ning Zi nodded firmly and said, "Well, if you want to come and the school won't let you go, I can help you. In the future, sports will be the cradle of China's top mathematicians, so seize this opportunity."

Then, regardless of the Yanbei mathematics professor who lost his mind because of these words, Ning Zi walked directly into the classroom through the back door.

Although he kept chatting with Fang Xu, he also paid attention to the confrontation in the classroom.

In fact, the two old academicians have almost finished their quarrel at this moment, at least they have separated. Lu Zhengyue could be said to have won completely, but Fan Zhenhua ignored him and he couldn't drive him away.

The two old academicians stopped arguing. When Ning Zi walked into the classroom, everyone's eyes naturally focused on him.

Even people who have never seen Ning Ju can recognize him immediately.

After all, young and handsome people are always more recognizable.

The classroom also became quiet at this moment.

"Where should I sit?" Ning Zi looked around the classroom and asked calmly.

Everyone was stunned, and suddenly a smart guy sitting in the front row lifted a stool and placed it on the podium. This is why when we first chose a classroom, in order to facilitate everyone's communication, we did not choose a classroom with tables and chairs fixed on the ground.

Lu Zhengyue raised his eyebrows.

Fan Zhenhua on the other side opened his mouth, but finally said nothing.

Ning Zi thought for a while, then walked to the podium and sat down.

The music of the class happened to sound.

Ning Zi sat on the podium, waiting for the music to finish, then looked around the classroom, and after a long silence, she said: "I have a slight social anxiety, and I don't like closed places with too many people, so the classroom door is closed. No more."

"In addition, if you are not a mathematics professor or lecturer from our school or Yanbei University who participates in the mathematics class of Physical Education University every Friday, please consciously pay the tuition fee of 8,000 yuan to the finance department of our school. Forget it for today. In the future, please show the payment voucher provided by the Finance Department of Physical Education University. Observe. If you have any questions, you can ask them."

There was silence in the classroom for a moment, and then countless hands were raised.

…

At ten past five, get out of class ends on time.

Most of them left quickly and wisely. In fact, some people wanted to stay and it would be good to ask one or two more questions. However, the professors who brought them here were still sensible. After a few words of urging, they took their students with them. gone.

Fan Zhenhua, Lu Zhengyue and a limited number of professors stayed.

During the three hours of today's math class, Ning Zi answered a total of 17 math questions, except for a ten-minute bathroom break. Obviously, most of them are problems encountered in the process of writing papers.

There are even some questions that the questioners probably never expected to get answers to in class. Because after asking the question, I felt embarrassed and said that because this research direction is relatively biased, if Ning Zi has not studied it before, I can discuss it after class.

Ning Zi's answer was also very simple. There was definitely no time to discuss it after class, so he solved it directly in class.

Of course, at this level, the so-called answering a problem does not mean directly solving the problem, but giving an idea to solve the problem.

For example, a question raised by a doctor from Yanbei University was about proving the uniqueness of commutative subspaces of complex conjugate maps of Lie algebras. After thinking about it for a while, Ning Jie came up with the idea of ​​proving the equivalence relationship through quadratic projection, and then inducing the uniqueness. suggestion.

The total time from asking to explaining took about ten minutes, but this doctoral student in mathematics from Yanbei University suddenly realized it. After sitting down, he picked up a pen and paper and started working hard...

This is also the reason why 17 problems can be solved in only 170 minutes. Ning Zi very accurately controls each problem to be solved within 10 minutes. Of course, giving a clue for research is enough. It was impossible for him to help these graduate students and doctoral students write their thesis step by step.

In fact, even mathematics doctoral supervisors from world-renowned universities may not be able to achieve this step.

This is why professors who are qualified to speak stay.

For those who are not majoring in mathematics, probably only those who study theoretical physics can understand the research topic. It is such a refreshing and valuable experience to have someone who can point out the difficult problems. Especially PhD research topics. After all, doctoral dissertations really need to solve problems, especially for key research universities like Huaqing and Yanbei.

If you are unable to write a paper in other majors, you can blame the school for being poor, the laboratory equipment that is not advanced enough, or the reagents used are not from the same batch...

In short, there are many reasons that can be found, but if I can't write a PhD thesis in mathematics and need to postpone my graduation, I can only blame my own brain for not being strong enough...

Really, even if you are a graduate student, after taking professional courses and passing the qualification exam, you still have the energy to find your own tutor to teach professional courses. If there are not enough people, the tutor will probably just recommend one or two papers and send them away directly.

The topic that the mathematics tutor gets back may be a certain mathematical conjecture, and it is very likely to be a mathematical conjecture that many people have already done. At this time, the most advice the instructor can give is to judge whether the conjecture is right or wrong, and then encourage students to think from a positive perspective to solve the problem, or to prove or disprove it.

After all, if the instructor had any energy to solve this kind of mathematical conjecture, he would not leave it to the students.

Even the directions given by many instructors are wrong.

And don’t think that mathematics professors are serious about their research topics. In the past, there have been many ridiculous mathematical research directions and results in the mathematics world. For example, a university professor once proved that “it is easiest to produce results when a person’s age is a prime number.” "

This is probably the current situation in mathematics.

The most important thing about students' achievements and whether they can graduate smoothly is not the instructor, but the talent. It is nothing more than the tutor's personality that may have an impact on students. For example, some tutors are relatively rigid and only allow students to choose topics in their research directions. Some tutors are open-minded and extremely tolerant, and can provide students with a relaxed research environment and allow students to research their interests. s things.

Only when the talents are similar is the time to truly compete for a mentor.

Excellent tutors can often use their vast knowledge reserves to select research topics that students are interested in, have development prospects and are easy to produce results. To put it bluntly, they are suggestions on research directions.

In particular, some schools have requirements for students to publish their papers in journals after graduation. Good tutors can often use their influence in the academic world to recommend papers to higher-level journals, and some can even help students find reliable ones. Reviewers.

It can even use its influence to push students to a higher stage, such as inviting a certain academic leader to give a speech at the school and letting him guide his own students. During the academic thesis defense, I hired a very awesome defense chair, and even helped the students get a very important letter of recommendation when they graduated from school...

But these basically do not involve extremely specific research guidance.

Therefore, it is indeed extremely valuable for many students to have a mathematician like Ning Zi who can guide graduate students and even doctoral students in multiple directions during their graduate studies.

You must know that many problems in mathematics are time-sensitive. Many small papers chosen during master's and doctoral studies are often found from open problems provided in papers published in well-known journals.

But since it is an open problem, naturally everyone can choose to do research.

What if the topic is the same as someone else's? I finally finished it and submitted it to the journal with great joy. However, after reading it, the editor said, "This problem has been proven by XXX." That would be a tragedy.

Think about it, with a versatile person like Ning Ji, if you mention a few words on a key issue in the paper, you might be able to let others bear this tragedy.

This is also the reason why professors still bring their students to class even though they know it is not appropriate. Not taking advantage of this kind of thing is unforgivable.

Now after class, it’s time to compete for resources.

Ning Zi actually probably guessed that this would happen.

This was also the reason why he didn't intervene in the quarrel between Fan Zhenhua and Lu Zhengyue before class.

Anyway, it is definitely impossible to solve the problem in the ten minutes before class. It is better to let the two of them vent their anger first and wait until after class to talk slowly.

Of course, he didn't plan to spend too much time dealing with this matter after class.

So when he was sitting on the podium, he directly gave his opinions. From the next class, he would no longer answer questions for free. If he wanted to come, he would pay directly to the University of Physical Education. If he expresses his attitude, the problem will naturally be solved better.

As for the charge of 8,000 yuan, Ning Zie thinks it is very reasonable.

Those who can be brought to this classroom are all academic masters and doctoral students from Yanbei and Huaqing University. It may be difficult for doctoral students from other schools to come up with this money, but the academic doctoral students from these two schools probably It won't be short of this little money.

National grants, various school research assistantship fees, various college subsidies, scholarships, academic bonuses, plus bonuses from prestigious schools, whether it is working as a teaching assistant, part-time job, or even doing some private work, after taking into account tuition and living expenses, tens of thousands or even more than ten thousand a year There is still an income of 10,000 yuan.

Not to mention that the selection of various academic scholarships in universities depends on SCI paper division, impact factor and number of papers. If you can receive more guidance in class and publish one or two papers in a journal with a high impact factor in the first area, the 8,000 yuan class fee can be earned back in minutes.

But Ning Zi soon discovered that the price was actually not very reasonable. He seemed to have ordered a little lower...

Because when they were almost gone, Fan Zhenhua stepped forward and the first thing he said was: "Ning Jie, are you serious about the 8,000 yuan tuition fee you mentioned before? Is it a semester or an academic year? Can the classroom be expanded?" Or change it to two classes a week?”

Before Ning Jie could answer, Lu Zhengyue, who was following Fan Zhenhua, exploded again: "Old Fan? You are so shameless! You still want a school year for eight thousand dollars? You want to expand the classroom? Why don't you just swallow you up?" Is it okay to merge the Beijing Institute of Science and Technology into one?"

Ning Zi didn't say anything. Seeing that the two old academicians were about to quarrel again, Fang Xu finally couldn't help but stood directly between the two of them and said, "Two old academicians, why don't we listen to what Ning Zi has to say first? .”

Still, these fair words were useful. Fan Zhenhua and Lu Zhengyue both looked at Ning Zi.

It could be seen that Lu Zhengyue was indeed feeling uncomfortable.

Originally, the students from home could ask several questions and explain in more detail, but the professors at Yanbei University did not teach martial arts and brought so many students, which directly caused Ning Zi to speak faster. Basically, everyone The problems are all scratched the surface. More importantly, only five of his eight students had the opportunity to ask questions today.

Ning Zi glanced at the two people and said: "Forget about expanding the classroom. This way of answering questions is relatively directional. When answering a certain question, it will not help others. Time is limited and the problems that can be solved are limited. No matter how many people there are, It makes no sense. I don’t have time to add courses, so I keep it as it is. As for how long the lecture fees will be in charge, I haven’t thought about it. However, this money is used as funds for the Department of Mathematics of the University of Physical Education, and the Department of Mathematics of the University of Physical Education can make a decision after its own research. .”

Well, Lu Zhengyue felt somewhat relieved that the department had decided to do its own research. After all, he was now the deputy director of the Department of Mathematics at the University of Physical Education. No matter how he studied this kind of thing, the entire management of the Department of Mathematics would give him face.

Fan Zhenhua could only smile bitterly in response to Ning Zi's aboveboard and unfair behavior.

There is no way, after all, this child is a big person, and naturally no one can say anything wrong because of his big body.

"Okay...just do as you say."

"Then we've reached a consensus, let's leave it at that." Ning Zi nodded, not intending to argue any further.

"Forehead……"

Fan Zhenhua wanted to say something more, but before he could say it, Ning Zhe rushed to answer: "I don't pay for the meal." Then he took the lead and walked out of the door.

The young man still felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

It was agreed that the National Sports University and Yanbei University would merge, so that professors would come to teach him, but now the professors brought students to ask questions, without even saying hello to him before.

Of course, Ning Zi didn't actually think about asking professors to teach him. After all, the simple parts of the research direction given to him in March had already been completed by his predecessors. Almost all are problems that mathematicians of this era cannot guide.

However, according to Ning Zi’s original idea, the weekly mathematics class can be used as a discussion class, where everyone sits together to discuss the rationality of certain proof processes. After all, anyone who can be a mathematics professor in Yanbei is qualified. Maybe some of the advice you give can bring inspiration?

Who would have thought that it would turn into this situation now...

So Ning Zi felt that he had to show resistance, otherwise he was worried that if he changed the classroom next time and faced a large class with hundreds of people, he would really be in danger.

Lu Zhengyue glanced at Fan Zhenhua arrogantly and followed Ning Zi in stride.

Yes, Lu Zhengyue was in a good mood at this time. Changing jobs from Huaqing to Tianjin University would pay off after all. For example, today I completely defeated my old enemy. Such results are rarely achieved on weekdays.

After walking out of the classroom, Lu Zhengyue called out from behind Ning Zi: "Xiao Ning, walk slower, I want to tell you something."

Ning Zi slowed down and waited for Lu Zhengyue to come to her side, then asked: "Academician Lu, what's the matter?"

Lu Zhengyue followed Ning Jue and said as he walked: "The Asian Logic Conference will be held in the capital of Japan next month. ICM said that it sent you an invitation letter and wanted to invite you to give a report. To put it bluntly, I just wanted to invite you. Go and hold up the scene. But you haven’t replied yet. The chairman of this ICM is Professor Shigefumi Mori from the Institute of Mathematical Analysis at Kyoto University, Hijima, and he is familiar with me. Let me ask you if you didn’t see the invitation email?”

Ning Zi frowned slightly. His mailbox had always been managed by March. Generally speaking, if it was an important email, March would leave it there, while unimportant emails would be swept directly into the trash.

Ning Zi was sure that he had not seen this invitation letter recently, and thought of the advice he had given him in March: "Don't attend mathematics conferences that are too low-level. It's a waste of time. I will sweep these invitations directly into the trash for you." In the box.”

So he directly relayed March's opinion: "Oh, I think this meeting is too low-level, so I won't go. Please help me politely decline."

This answer also made Lu Zhengyue stunned, and then he said in a dumbfounded voice: "No, Ning Zi, do you have any misunderstanding? This is a satellite conference of ICM, and it is basically one of the highest-level conferences in the Asian mathematics community. One. Not to mention that the ICM president will attend this year.”

Obviously Lu Zhengyue still hopes that Ning Zi can go.

This kind of mentality is probably like having an extra treasure at home, and you are afraid that others will not know about it and want to show it off.

However, Ning Zi still believed in March's judgment.

Since March didn't let him see the invitation at all, it was enough to show that this meeting was not important. Ning Jie could hold back even the target shooting that she wanted to do. Naturally, she would not fly to the Japanese island to waste time, so she shook her head more firmly and said: "The topic I have been researching recently is too important. I want to complete it as soon as possible." , so I really can’t go.”

Lu Zhengyue asked subconsciously: "Have you studied a new topic recently? Which direction?"

Ning Zi then replied: "Some theoretical derivation of nuclear fusion."

Hearing this, Lu Zhengyue staggered almost simultaneously. Ning Zi quickly helped the big boss and explained: "It's not the kind that explodes, it's controllable."

Lu Zhengyue looked at Ning Zi with a strange look: "Ning Zi, look at me, I'm a lot older, so don't make fun of me, okay?"

Ning Zi said seriously: "No."

Lu Zhengyue stared at Ning Zi and asked, "Can I go to your place and have a look?"

Ning Zi thought for a while and said, "Of course. It's just a purely theoretical calculation now. Anyone can see it. But I'm hungry and I need to eat first."

"It's okay. I'm going to treat you to dinner first. Where is the nearest canteen?"

Ning Zi: "..."

…

At this moment, Fan Zhenhua and Fang Xu also walked out of the teaching building of the University of Physical Education. Fan Zhenhua also felt that the mood of Professor Fang next to him seemed a little strange. He asked several questions, but the guy didn't respond, and even answered the question incorrectly.

After walking out of the building and getting into the car, Fan Zhenhua called Fang Xu to the back seat and sat next to him. After the car started, he asked: "Xiao Fang, what's wrong with you today? Are you out of your mind?"

Fang Xu, who was hesitating whether to tell Fan Zhenhua about Ning Zhe's invitation, calmed down after hearing this and said simply: "Today, Ning Zhe persuaded me to take a job in the Department of Mathematics of the National Sports University."

"Ah?" Fan Zhenhua was surprised.

He had been thinking about how to drag Ning Zi to Yanbei University, but he did not expect that Ning Zi would take the initiative and become the best mathematics professor of the younger generation in Yanbei Mathematics College.

After being stunned, Fan Zhenhua asked: "What did he say?"

Fang Xu answered honestly: "He said that Dominic will return to the National Sports University as a professor next year. It probably means that the mathematics department of the National Sports University will develop rapidly in the future, and China's top mathematicians will all come from the mathematics department of the National Sports University in the future."

Fan Zhenhua was stunned and said in surprise: "Isn't Dominican exchange only for one year? Ning Zi said that Dominican will return to the Sports University next year?"

Fang Xu nodded. He also thought this was quite strange. After all, Dominette Duncan was theoretically a professor at Harvard, but Ning Zi did say so. And he looked very determined.

Fan Zhenhua thought for a while, decided to put down the question, and asked instead: "Then what do you think?"

Fang Xu turned to look at Fan Zhenhua blankly, and answered truthfully: "I don't know, I have been at Yanbei University all my life, and I am used to it. I suddenly heard Ning Zi's suggestion, and I didn't have time to think about it clearly."

Fan Zhenhua pondered for a moment, looking at Fang Xu's young face, he suddenly felt entangled in his heart.

If he was considering it from the perspective of the School of Mathematics at Yanbei University, he definitely didn't want Fang Xu to leave.

But the weight of Ning Zi's personal invitation is also very heavy. After all, it was a personal invitation from the future Fields Medal winner. Fang Xu went there. In the future, not only would there be someone who could give him guidance, but more importantly, he would actually produce results. If Ning Zi was willing to recommend him, maybe he could Stand on a higher stage and achieve more and greater achievements.

"What did you two talk about at that time? Let's talk about the context..."

"We just chatted for a few words, and he asked me if it was my suggestion that Ning Xiao want to take the postgraduate entrance examination..." Fang Xu recounted the situation at that time in a concise and comprehensive manner.

Fan Zhenhua listened quietly, waited until Fang Xu finished speaking, thought for a moment, and suddenly said: "I suggest you agree to Ning Zi."

"Ah?" Fang Xu was a little confused, but he didn't expect Academician Fan to give such a suggestion.

Fan Zhenhua nodded and said: "There are no students in the Mathematics Department of the Physical Education University this year, so you definitely don't need to resign. Continue taking classes at Yanbei University first, and I will help you apply for the status of a researcher at the Mathematics Research Center as soon as possible until July next year. It's summer vacation. You resign from your teaching position at Yanbei University and transfer to Yanbei University of Physical Education, but you will remain a researcher at the International Mathematics Research Center."

"Um, is this okay?" Fang Xu looked at Fan Zhenhua with some confusion.

This operation was really something he didn't expect.

"Why not? Don't worry. If you find a chance to tell Ning Zi my opinions intact, I think he will agree."

"Oh!" Fang Xu nodded...

It suddenly occurred to him that these big guys considered too many problems every day, which were too complicated. Compared with them, it was better to study mathematics without thinking so much.

…

The next day, at 1:30 pm at the Pearl Oriental Sports Center in Huaxia, Youwei Group’s M10 press conference officially began.

As the keynote speakers who were to appear at the press conference, Ge Dongshu and Liao Zhengqiang had flown here from Shenzhen one day in advance.

Originally, the group planned to hold the M10 press conference in a certain European city, and then return to China to officially launch it.

However, due to changes in the situation, on the one hand, Youwei Group temporarily gave up the foreign market for telecommunications network equipment under Ning Zi's suggestion; on the other hand, when the product was about to be released, there was a major breakthrough in the intelligent voice assistant, but In order to avoid possible litigation risks due to the complicated foreign legal system, the entire intelligent voice control system needs to be optimized to a certain extent, and the release sequence is finally adjusted. Now after releasing it domestically, it will be released overseas.

Although the technical department has been in communication with Ning Zi and doing a series of work, the group's external publicity department has already spared no effort in publicizing this product launch, which was officially named Foresight of the Future.

It can be said that Youwei Group attaches unprecedented importance to the launch of the M10 mobile phone. After all, this M10 launch is the launch of Youwei Group’s official impact on high-end smartphones. Whether it is product quality, performance or pricing, it is directly declaring war on Apple, the dominant player in the high-end smartphone market.

The high-profile publicity model naturally attracted countless media attention.

Even though it was a domestic press conference, it still attracted more than 80 media to broadcast live, including 17 foreign media.

At this time, Ge Dongshu was on the stage, holding two M10 series mobile phones and started explaining. On the big screen behind him is the Kirin 970 processor developed by Youwei, which is used in the M10.

"...This is the first AI processor released by Youwei Group. We internally call it a neuron unit processor..."

It has to be said that even excluding the intelligent voice system that Ning Zi helped upgrade, the M10 series products launched by Youwei Group this time are still extremely selling points. After all, in this era, except for Apple’s insistence on using self-developed A-series processors for smartphones, the processors used by players on other circuits are basically provided by Qualcomm.

In other words, whether the mobile phone processor designed by this high-tech company headquartered in Silicon Valley is excellent directly determines the performance of 90% of the world's smartphone products except Apple.

Of course, there are also players who challenge the impossible. For example, Microsoft, the world's operating system giant, once used processors from its partner Intel on its own mobile phones, and then, without any surprise, it failed. It is somewhat ironic that a super high-tech company whose software products are sold all over the world has a smartphone product whose market share is directly attributed to other companies.

Therefore, if Youwei Group succeeds in attacking high-end brands this time, it means that its self-developed chips can really carve out a niche in the market, which is extremely important for the strategic layout of the entire group.

After all, self-developed chips are too expensive...

If you cannot enter the high-end game with self-developed chips, it means that tens of billions of R\u0026D expenses will be wasted. Not only will the initial investment not be able to recover the cost, but you will have to continue to invest. For the group, entering the smartphone market is to enable the group to survive in the changing market environment in the future.

Ge Dongshu's introduction on the stage was very serious, and he received bursts of applause from the audience from time to time.

After all, compared to the A series of Qualcomm and Apple, Kirin chips with AI as the main promotion direction still have many publicity points.

Of course, in addition to the chips that Youwei Group is proud of, there is also a complete camera system in cooperation with established foreign lens companies, as well as excellent production technology and the tuning of the Android system, which have been previously determined publicity directions.

After finally promoting the specific specifications of the mobile phone and introducing the advantages of the M10 and the competing iPhone8 series, Ge Dongshu began to prepare for the handover of the stage.

"In addition to the series of innovations of the M10 product just introduced to you, our products have also made major breakthroughs in other functions. Now please welcome Liao Zhengqiang, the chief engineer of the R\u0026D Department of Youwei Group who is responsible for upgrading the intelligent voice assistant. Next, he will introduce to you the intelligent voice assistant system equipped with M10 that transcends an era."

When Ge Dongshu said these words, the audience did not even react.

Most of the people who are willing to come to this conference are electronic enthusiasts.

Even before the official launch, Youwei Group did a very good job of keeping the performance parameters of the M10 confidential, but some news still got out.

For example, spy photos of mobile phones, the AI ​​features of Kirin 970, etc...

This is also inevitable. It's as if Apple has formulated an almost strict confidentiality policy, but it still can't completely prevent the leakage of information about its new products. After all, a product must be mass-produced and stocked before it is released. There are too many links involved.

People in the industry can even analyze various orders placed by the company to analyze the product situation. Especially for many well-informed people, the so-called new products have no secrets at all.

But what everyone never expected was that this time M10 actually had a hidden agenda.

"An intelligent voice assistant system that transcends an era?"

This sentence is inevitably a bit big.

After all, in terms of purely semantic recognition interfaces these days, whoever can surpass Apple's Siri will be able to boast. This time Ge Dongshu directly said something that transcended an era...

How should I put it? For knowledgeable people, this is too much to boast.

For those who are not familiar with it, they are probably still thinking about what a voice assistant system is.

For practitioners who have already come into contact with M10, they are probably still thinking about what is different about the M10 voice assistant they have experienced.

Fortunately, Ge Dongshu didn't care whether there was applause from the audience.

To be honest, speaking on stage for more than an hour was quite tiring, my throat was dry, and it was time to change someone.

…

Fortunately, when Liao Zhengqiang stepped onto the podium, thousands of people responded and politely applauded.

Originally, a new product launch conference cannot be the best from beginning to end. The introduction of some product appearances and parameters just now has made people a little drowsy. At this time, you can hear what Ge Dongshu said on this occasion. After speaking, the whole person naturally became more energetic and a little more expectant.

Liao Zhengqiang did not disappoint everyone in the audience. As soon as he stepped on stage and opened his mouth, it was big news.

"Thank you, Mr. Ge, for giving me this opportunity. At the same time, before introducing our newly upgraded smart voice assistant system, please allow me to pay tribute to the developer of this product."

"I have to say that he is not only a great mathematician, but also a talented programmer and software engineer. Yes, the voice assistant I am going to introduce next was developed by him, and under his guidance and guidance With help, our R\u0026D department has carried out several iterative updates and optimizations in the past month before we can meet you today."

"How important is this technology to the M10? Let's put it this way, it is so important that we changed our release plan and decided to release it domestically first. Because as Mr. Ge just said, with his help, we have surpassed this era."

"I think there must be many questions in everyone's mind now. Who is the developer of this product? Please allow me to sell it first. After I show you this assistant product, I will Say his name. So, Xiaoyi, could you please say hello to everyone for me first?"

While the audience was stunned, the big screen behind Liao Zhengqiang was directly switched to the latest M10 pro mobile phone left on the display table of the rostrum after Ge Dongshu stepped off the rostrum.

As soon as Liao Zhengqiang finished speaking, the phone screen lit up. Liao Zhengqiang's words after calling "Xiao Yi" quickly appeared on the screen, and then the phone's speaker responded.

"Of course, I am very happy to serve you. Hello to the audience who can come to the scene today despite your busy schedule! Thank you very much for your support to Youwei Group and M10! I love you!"

The whole place suddenly fell silent...
