From small town academic to chief scientist

In fact, in non-Euclidean geometry, parallel lines intersect.

The simplest example is that the longitude and latitude lines of Aquamarine are perpendicular to each other, and the longitude lines are all perpendicular to the equator.

Straight lines perpendicular to the same straight line are also parallel,

However, all longitude lines intersect at the North and South Pole.

So parallel lines intersect.

After this cognition that subverted common sense was proposed by Lobachevsky, it was opposed and questioned by all mathematicians. In the end, he died of depression.

Ironically, this theory was finally proven 12 years after Lobachevsky's death.

Four days later, after Shan Peng settled Xiao Wanyi, she said earnestly at the airport:

"Sister, I am almost forty years old and have experienced a lot of things.

Compared with the achievements in the field of mathematics and various Fields Medal winners, there is a big gap, let alone those double medal winners.

However, you and Zhou Yi are both very talented people I have met. I hope you will not be trapped by love and study mathematics well. The order of appearance in a person's life is actually very important.

For many people, if they really showed up at another time, the outcome might be really different.

However, I want to tell you that our life is like this. Life is not at the right time, love is not at the right time, everywhere you go is destined, and failure to love is the normal state of life.

I hope you can grow in all aspects in the normal school. "

Xiao Wanyi said:

"Thank you to Sister Shan for your guidance these past two days. I have gotten a lot better. At least I have a definite goal to do and can let him go for the time being."

"Well, you are a smart man. I hope I can hear good news from you in three years."

Shan Peng said.

"Bon Voyage."

At this moment in China, Liu Qingfeng has arrived at Zhou Yi's office and is talking to Zhou Yi.

All six of Zhou Yi's apprentices were here. The reason why he didn't drive them away was because Zhou Yi wanted to let them know how much wealth mathematics can bring.

Top number theory experts turn to artificial intelligence. Once successful, it will be a groundbreaking development.

Just like Academician E Weinan.

"Professor Zhou, long time no see. If I had known that you had such achievements, Professor Zhou, I should have directly increased the price and invited you to join iFlytek with an annual salary of tens of millions plus shares."

Liu Qingfeng said very enthusiastically, the regret on his face was beyond words.

Zhou Yi shook hands with Liu Qingfeng and said:

"Then I might have really gone. I was really poor at the time. Fortunately, Teacher Qiu applied for a scholarship for me, and Chongqing University also gave me a lot of bonuses. Otherwise, I might have gone to a big company to study for two years before applying. Baoyan.”

When Liu Qingfeng heard this, his back teeth almost broke and his intestines turned green with regret.

With a little more courage at the beginning, iFlytek may now be the strongest artificial intelligence company in the world.

Where would it be like now.

Zijie, Ahri, Penguin, Qiandu, and Shaowei are all ahead of iFlytek in the field of artificial intelligence.

"What we want this time is to use speech recognition to make major breakthroughs in the three aspects of Internet of Vehicles, home appliances, and garbage recycling."

Liu Qingfeng said enthusiastically.

Zhouyi said:

"Three projects require a lot of time. We have to do it step by step and determine a main direction first."

Although the theories of smart home appliances, furniture, Internet of Vehicles and smart garbage recycling are somewhat the same, there are also differences.

Zhou Yi must guide his apprentices step by step. When he brings out three master-level apprentices, the Artificial Intelligence Institute of the Yuzhou Institute of Advanced Studies will have reserve talents.

Liu Qingfeng said:

"How about smart home appliances and furniture first? This market is quite big, especially Daxia's trade policy, which has a very wide range of radiation. Not only domestic, but also foreign markets are our markets."

Zhouyi said:

"Then let's take this first, but I only sell the patent, and you are responsible for the rest."

Liu Qingfeng said:

"Okay, let me briefly introduce the prospects and market value estimates of this direction to Professor Zhou.

In recent years, with the rise of global trade protectionism, there have been more and more trade frictions. Especially in the network communication technology used in smart home appliances, foreign technical standards have been constantly updated.

It has had a considerable impact on the export of my country’s smart home appliance industry. The latest report released by international management consulting firm Kearney shows that,

The overall scale of global smart home appliances has reached 60 billion units in 2020, and is expected to grow to 400 billion units in 2030. We must get a share of the market. "

Zhou Yi secretly cursed when he heard this. It is indeed a huge profit industry. Anyone who buys a house will buy appliances. 400 billion magnesium knives, converted into RMB, is close to 3 trillion.

A very scary number.

No wonder Liu Qingfeng is so interested in it. He can't even pick up money from a sack so quickly.

The six apprentices in the office have also lost their money. An unimaginable wealth that a hundred generations of people may not be able to spend all.

Liu Qingfeng continued:

"Now with the birth of Professor Zhou's Zhou's geometry, many technology companies around the world are already studying it, not just companies like BAT, so they will all be our competitors by then. If we can get a share of the pie, it will be a success."

Zhou Yi could not deny this and said:

“The reserves for PhDs in mathematics at big companies like BAT and Warwick are terrifying.

In 18 years ago, these companies made great efforts to recruit mathematics Ph.D.s. Now, they may be experiencing explosive development. "

Liu Qingfeng said:

"To be honest, I also avoid taboos. Compared with foreign countries, our talents are far behind. The world's most influential artificial intelligence scholar released by Shuimu University,

One-third of the first 2,000 people are Chinese. Two-thirds of the Chinese are in China, and a little more than one-third are in China.

This talent list selects 20 subfields of artificial intelligence such as classic artificial intelligence, machine learning, computer vision, natural language processing, and robotics.

100 top talents are selected in each sub-field, so there are 2,000 people in total, which is considered a list of 2,000 people in the artificial intelligence field on earth. "

Zhou Yi looked embarrassed, thinking that the domestic artificial intelligence industry was good, but Zhou Yi was used to the second place.

Zhou Yi paid little attention to the list of Shuimu University. Zhou Yi has always been concerned about mathematics, and this is the first time I have heard of it.

"It's okay, we can catch up, and the talents will find a way to get them back."

Zhou Yi said,

"After all, when I won the Sloan Research Award, I made an agreement with several winners in the field of artificial intelligence. I would join the Yuzhou Institute for Advanced Study when the time comes.

When the time comes, by coordinating with these apprentices, we will be able to build a top team. "

Liu Qingfeng knew that Zhou Yi was preparing to establish the Yuzhou Institute of Advanced Studies, but he did not expect that he had already made arrangements in advance.

And the few apprentices who studied with him will definitely be able to enter the list of 2,000 people in the future.

Zhou Yi continued:

"They are all people who graduated from Shuimu University. I personally invited them, and they should come back to China. Of course, there are also talents from other universities, so it will be difficult for me to dig them up. I can't dig them out."

Liu Qingfeng said:

"Among the list of two thousand people, more than 1,100 people are from Chou Country in terms of nationality. There are only more than 200 people from Daxia Country, followed closely by Ying Country and Germany.

Yingguo and Germany are already established powerful countries. It is very rare for us to be able to do this. "

Zhouyi said:

"Well, Chinese talents are actually resources. If you make good use of them, you can also invite them to return to China. I believe in them and our future.

Although Ugly Country is extremely powerful and we are making steady progress, let’s talk about smart home appliances. We at least want a big share of the pie. "

Liu Qingfeng said:

“In fact, there is still a long way to go, unless there is a breakthrough in key technologies. Previously, European and American countries had first-mover advantages in the field of intellectual property rights such as patents.

Our smart home appliances can only meet the quality standards of European and American companies by introducing advanced foreign technologies, but the core intellectual property rights are still in the hands of foreign companies.

For example, the wireless communication technology used in smart home appliances is mainly in the hands of companies such as Gaotong, Norge, and Ericsson in European and American countries. Every time a smart home appliance is sold, a patent fee must be paid.

Under this model of introducing advanced foreign technology, our smart home appliance companies are very vulnerable to harm in the international market competition.

For example, revoking intellectual property authorization and initiating international litigation have greatly weakened market competitiveness. "

Zhouyi asked:

"Infinite communication technology!?"

Liu Qingfeng didn't know why Zhou Yi's tone changed. He said honestly:

"That's right."

"This is easy to handle. Is this a thing? This is not a thing."

Zhou Yi said.

Damn it, I happened to be helping Aerospace J research communication technology during this period, but I didn’t expect that iFlytek came to my door first.

What a coincidence, isn't it?

Liu Qingfeng:? ? ? .

Although we know from the people above that Zhou Shen has made great achievements in power grids and asphalt, this is a new direction.

However, Liu Qingfeng thought of the scientific research assistant APP and immediately said that Zhou Yi was also qualified to say this.

If the companies in Chou Country worked hard to develop it, they would be able to produce such a software. The scientific research assistant was created by Zhou Yi alone with a group of graduate students from Chongqing University.

This is very telling.

Zhouyi said:

"You don't mind, send me a copy of your information. In addition, I have another request. The headquarters of smart home appliances must be moved to Yuzhou, and the taxes must be paid by the Yuzhou government.

Otherwise, I will contact other companies directly. I believe many home appliance companies are willing to do this. "

The Yuzhou government strongly supports its establishment of the Yuzhou Institute of Advanced Studies, and Zhou Yi will definitely reciprocate the favor.

No matter how much market share home appliances can capture in the future, there will always be a considerable amount of tax paid.

At least it's more money than they currently invest.

Liu Qingfeng said:

"Hey, actually we wanted to keep the headquarters in Huizhou, but Professor Zhou said, let's do it. The headquarters of the future cooperation with Professor Zhou will be settled in Yuzhou."

Zhouyi said:

"Well, I will ask the people over there to contact you. Regarding the address, I suggest it be closer to the Yuzhou Institute for Advanced Study."

Liu Qingfeng said:

"Okay, then it's settled. I'll ask my assistant to send you the information."

Zhouyi said:

"Okay, let's start with the direction of smart home appliances. I will contact those people from abroad to come back early and form a top-level team of 7-8 people. I will lead the team, and your team will be responsible for the programs other than the core."

"Okay, before tonight, we will send you all the information in this field. In addition, can you tell us which foreign talents are there?"

Zhouyi said:

"They are all talents who came out of Shuimu University. I think they studied abroad and then returned to China. But if you work on projects with me, you can learn more awesome things than abroad. There is no need to go abroad. I will contact the president of Shuimu University. Contact them personally.”

"One is Chen Danqi, who graduated from the Yao Class of Shuimu University. The other two are also Sloan Research Award winners Fang Fei and Gu Quanquan. Plus my three apprentices, there are seven people in total. They are almost the same."

Zhou Yi still explained it.

Liu Qingfeng understood the gold content when he heard Chen Danqi.

Chen Danqi holds a bachelor’s degree from Shuimu University and a Ph.D. from Stanford University.

He is a student of natural language processing guru Christopher Manning. In 2019, Chen Danqi joined the Princeton NLP group. The most famous algorithm, SyntaxNet, was developed by Chen Danqi and his mentor.

It is known as the world's most accurate natural language parser.

With such top talents joining Zhou Yi's level, Liu Qingfeng has great confidence.

After Liu Qingfeng left, Zhou Yi looked at the six apprentices and said:

"Work hard, learn mathematics well, you are omnipotent, the great road points to the only truth of the universe, which is the mathematical knowledge you learn."

The impact of today's scene on them can be described as huge, even an indelible impression.

A market share of 3 billion is terrifying when you think about it.

If you eat one percent, it will be 30 billion RMB.

If we capture more of the market, we can easily exceed 100 billion. How many domestic companies have exceeded 100 billion?

For a moment, the inner determination of the three people who originally wanted to work in the field of pure mathematics seemed to be torn to pieces in the face of money.

Shen Yiyu, Zhang Dugang, and Zheng Keyu have mixed feelings and are extremely entangled. How should they choose?

Continue to study mathematics, pursue your dreams, and strive for the Philippine Prize;

Or should I choose to finish my Ph.D., work on artificial intelligence with Teacher Zhou Yi, earn a sum of money that will allow me to achieve financial freedom, and live a life of drunken dreams, reveling in money, and partying every night?

This choice is very difficult, and every choice affects their future.

Dreams and reality, the difference between eating steamed buns or eating big fish and meat every day.

There is a difference between living in an apartment or a large villa with river view or a large villa with sea view.

Zhou Yi said at this time:

"Shen Yiyu, Zheng Keyu, and Zhang Dugan, if you three want to graduate with Ph.D. degrees and engage in artificial intelligence with me, that's fine. I won't force each of you to make your choice, just follow your heart."

The three people all have good mathematical foundations and were taught by Zhou Yi step by step. It will definitely be easy to switch to artificial intelligence, but Zhou Yi still hopes that there will be people who will not be corrupted by money.

Follow him in pursuing the supreme path of mathematics.

Zheng Keyu said:

"Teacher, can we think about it for a few more days? The temptation is too great, and I am almost 30 years old. I will not be able to make great mathematical achievements in the future. I will eventually move towards applications."

Shen Yiyu and Zhang Dugan were also very hesitant and said:

"We also want to think about it for a few more days."

Zhouyi said:

"No problem, just don't regret it!"

PS: The protagonist's four new apprentices are currently being recruited. If you leave a message and enter Penguin Q, take screenshots and order all of them, you will have a chance to get them. After selecting and meeting the above conditions, priority will be given to those with good-sounding names.

If there are rich people who reward me, I can customize the plot for the rich people. Don't scold me, I'm too poor, woo woo hoo.

The 2000AI list does exist, and it has been released for three consecutive years. It is released by Shuimu University.

The data on smart home appliances in this article comes from data from large companies such as Zhiwang and Pengcheng.

In addition, the previous chapter was fixed and reviewed.
