The end of technology.

Hearing this topic, the excited Ding Yulin heard a crisp sound before he could answer. Looking up, the bowl in his mother's hand had fallen onto the table, and the expression on his face was very strange...

"Mom, what's wrong with you?"

"It's nothing!" Luo Yufang replied quickly, then took a deep breath, and asked in a relaxed tone, "Lin Lin, I really wanted to hear your idol's name is Ning Ruo? What two words are you?"

"Ning is the peaceful Ning, and the word 呑 is just one word with a little more. It's a weird name, right?"

"Ah... the name is a little weird. You said you had a picture of him? Show it to Mom?"

"Mom, why do I think something is wrong with you? Didn't you just say you shouldn't watch it?"

"No, I just remembered a child from an acquaintance before. Let me see if I can match it?"

"Che, are you thinking too much? How could it be from someone you know? You are from Qiushan, Nanhu, and the Internet says he is from Nanhu Luyu County. Well... this is him." He said he didn't believe his mother's words. , but Ding Yulin still found the photo just posted from the group chat, clicked it, and handed over the phone.

Although she left at the age of six, she was sure that this was her son at first glance when she saw the photo, especially when she saw the small mole under the left corner of the mouth of the handsome young man in the photo.

She still clearly remembered that when the child was older and the mole appeared at the corner of his mouth, the child's father hugged Ning Zhi happily and muttered, "This is a delicious mole, and our Xiao Ning will be happy in the future. When I grow up alone, I will definitely be able to eat and grow tall and strong!"

"Mom, Mom, why are you so stunned? Is this the child of the acquaintance you said?" Ding Yulin's urging voice woke Luo Yufang from her memory.

Looking at her daughter's eager eyes, Luo Yufang opened her mouth, and the words finally turned into: "Oh, no, it just happens to be the same name."

Luo Yufang did not tell her daughter that she had a half-brother, nor did she mention her experience in Luoyu County.She thought that these had been erased from her memory, who would have thought that her former son would suddenly appear in front of her eyes in this way.

For a time, Luo Yufang was lost.

……

United States, California, San Jose.

For large multinational corporations, jet lag is always particularly annoying.

Especially for some emergencies, it will make it difficult for both parties to communicate.

Especially between the United States and China, the time difference in most areas is about [-] hours, and the time for work every day is often only a few hours.If something gets delayed, it makes communication difficult.

Therefore, when encountering some major events that need to be communicated, there is always one side that needs to make some sacrifices of overtime.

On weekdays, Huaxia made a lot of sacrifices.

But today, sacrifices are being made on both sides.

……

Although it was only six o'clock in the morning, and it was far from work time, the lights were already on in the top-floor conference room of the headquarters building of Cisco Group, a large multinational telecom network equipment supplier. In fact, the lights in the conference room were not turned off all night.

It's a game where every second counts.

The U.S. headquarters and the Huaxia branch have always kept information unblocked to ensure that no useful information will be missed.

At this time, the big screen in the conference room was still a picture of Ning Ruo.

That's right, it was the photo that Qiu Chenfeng suggested to be taken, but the boss Qiu was completely ignored at this time, and everyone's attention was on Ning Yu and Ge Dongshu.

"Everyone, it's time to make a decision. The people we've been guarding there have tried all kinds of ways and couldn't get in touch with this, um... Ning got in touch, and they didn't even see Ning Ruo come out of that building. So Youwei Group has already got ahead of us. If they reach some kind of tacit understanding, then Youwei Group will definitely apply for a patent for turbulence algorithm registration at the fastest speed. Then we will be passive!”

"Of course, this possibility is very high. Youwei Group is originally a Huaxia company, and has a good reputation among the younger generation of Huaxia. We got news that Youwei began to discuss the establishment of a special Youwei cloud department as early as a year ago. , citing its industrial advantages to enter the cloud service market, while filling the service gap of its consumer business. This also means that the turbulent algorithm has greater strategic significance for their next development."

"You can tell their ambitions from the top five senior executives in the group that Youwei directly dispatched this time. Ge is a member of the board of directors of Youwei Group and has great authority within the group. We have reason to believe that Ge Genning In this meeting, a series of agreements have been reached. So there is not much time left for us to make a decision.”

Frank Morgenthau, president of Cisco's global business, offered his opinion.

If Ning Ruo saw this scene and heard the report of the Cisco executive, he would probably sincerely sigh that the foreigner can also make a starting picture, and the content depends on guessing this kind of thing.

Of course, more emotion is probably due to the fact that Mr. March has such a delicate mind.

Just encouraging him to take a photo turned out to have such a big effect, causing countless people to make up ninety-nine and 81 tricks.Of course, it can also be understood that these people in high positions have so many minds, and each of them has a seven-orifice exquisite heart.

Of course, the hearts and minds of these people are probably not as many as those of adults in March.

But then again, Cisco's misgivings are understandable.

The biggest loophole of the current turbulence algorithm is probably that it has not applied for a patent in any country or region.If these patents are applied for by Youwei Group, it is conceivable that there will be a lot of resistance when negotiating conditions with competitors.

As for the detailed description of the charges in the documentation, it has long been ignored by these bigwigs.

An explanatory document without any legal efficiency, who cares?

Even if there is real legal efficiency, in the face of [-]% profit, you can actually not care. Otherwise, what is the purpose of big companies raising elite lawyers in the legal department and cooperating with top law firms in the world?It is nothing more than adding more KPIs to the legal department.

So now everyone is facing a difficult moral choice, and it may not be so difficult.

Should I preemptively apply for a patent?

As Ge Dongshu worries, in the face of interests, everyone's moral bottom line can be adaptive.When interests exceed a certain limit, it doesn't really matter whether there is morality or not.

……

Cisco's current CEO, Chamberson Carey, has his sights set on the company's chief technology officer, Myron Kermit.To do such a thing, of course, we must listen to the advice of the technical department.

Looking at Chamberson, Myron Kermit shrugged and said, "Claude has been organizing our engineers to test and modify those codes. At present, we have not found any obvious loopholes in these codes, or Intentional backdoor. Of course, this is only temporary. But I want to be optimistic about it, because the technical department will not affect your work. We still have time to work on that code."

Speaking of which, Milen paused and said: "The only problem now is that our scientists can understand the function implemented by the code, but they cannot fully understand it. This is a very strange technology. Our scientists still I don't understand the specific function of the activation code and why it is set up, but I believe that given enough time, they will definitely be able to crack this problem!"

"Of course, we do not rule out that this may be just a myth. After all, in theory, as long as the source code is safe, it is safe to use it directly. What we are doing now is to first strip out the code modules that implement the main functions, modify and recombine them. After that, restore it to a usable source code and re-test it. We can guarantee that the code we use is different from the original code, but the function is not hindered. This work can be completed in about three days.”

……

Chamberson nodded, just what he wanted to hear.

Since officials in the technical department have expressed cautious optimism about the matter, there is no need to hesitate.

So there was a smile on his face.

"Actually, I just had a phone call with Mr. Jonathan from Google. He thinks we can cooperate. Google scientists are also trying to analyze that code, and you can communicate with them. We think that we can apply for a patent and leave it to Willison Technology The company will do it. According to the results of the communication, we will provide necessary technical support to Wilneyson, and when they successfully apply for a patent, they will license this technology to Cisco and Google at a price of 500 million US dollars per year. So What do you think?"

The gentlemen in the conference room all smiled relieved.

Compared with the value of the turbulence algorithm, the annual patent licensing fee of 500 million US dollars is no different from no money.

Of course, there are risks involved.

Wellnesson is a leather bag company and does not have any R&D capabilities, but for a large company with strong technology, it has not thought about it.Aren't those scientists in the company researching these?

"It seems that everyone has no opinion, so this is the decision. Alan, you let Claude speed up the progress, of course, Google is actually doing the same thing, let them communicate more, which can also make it easier Our partners start the patent application process."

"Don't worry, Chamberson. Everyone knows that this job is important, and I believe the bonus is so generous that they are willing to sacrifice some of their personal time to complete this not-so-complicated job."

"very good!"

After nodding at Myron Kermit, Chamberson withdrew his smile and became serious: "There will be no records of this meeting, and everyone please be vigilant. Of course we will talk to Will Neeson signed a series of non-disclosure agreements to protect our interests, and likewise, you should understand the importance of this matter. We will not admit this transaction with Will Neeson under any circumstances."

……

Early in the morning Nissen Mountbatten was reading the technical materials that the big companies sent him.

As a specially-appointed lawyer and boss of Willison Company, he attaches great importance to this work. After all, his company generally does not open for three years, and it is open for three years.This time, the situation is different. If this business can really be done well, the company can survive in this world for a long time...

Of course, doing this will definitely be scolded, and there may even be some danger, but he doesn't care.In fact, he knew very well that even if he was working with him, the guys in suits would look down on him after all.If it weren't for this special situation, these big companies would even hate him for itching teeth, but who cares?

Making money is the last word.

Applying directly for a patent belonging to the company is much simpler than collecting information every day to study whether the patents in the hands of those companies that are about to go bankrupt can find those big companies to touch the porcelain, not to mention that the latter is more dangerous.

After all, making patent cockroaches is actually similar to touching porcelain.By acquiring the patents of those bankrupt companies, initiating lawsuits against those technology companies, and grabbing a piece of meat from the mouths of large technology companies with various appearances, layouts, and other non-core technologies, it is a very dangerous thing.

First, the legal affairs of large companies have rich experience, and those large companies are extremely strict with core technology patents, and it is actually difficult to knock out too much money for some leftover patents.It is often the way to settle out of court.The big company saves energy and sends a little money, and he can also make a living.

But this time is different.

According to the verbal agreement given by the two big figures, if he can handle this matter well, not only will he have a stable income of 1000 million US dollars per year, but he can also license the patent to a third party at a higher price.[-] million?[-] million?even more……

How should I put it, Nithan Mountbatten felt like he had met a nobleman.

The noble man is not the big man who called him, but the stupid author who uploaded all the technical details to the Internet without applying for a patent anywhere. I heard that he is a young student in Huaxia.

Nissen Mountbatten even decided that when he made the money, he must go to China to meet the Chinese who gave him a rich and noble life.If the other party is willing, he must invite the nobleman for a drink, and then sincerely apologize, maybe they can still become friends.

Well, think far.

After a whole night of data collection and search, Nissen Mountbatten was sure that as long as he got the specific code, he could indeed quickly register a patent all over the world.Because so far, he has not found similar technologies and functions in any patent search library, which means that for any market, the novelty and exclusivity of the technology is no problem...

Yes, Nissen Mountbatten did not understand technology, but it was enough that he understood patent law.

Technology that can be valued by these two companies...

Nissen Mountbatten felt that the Willnessen Company was about to take off and become the world... No, maybe he should clean up the company before it became a world-renowned company.After all, the nickname of the patented cockroach is not so pleasant...

……

Republic of Guinea, Rabe University.

For many, Rabe University is as unknown as the country of Guinea.Guinea is arguably one of the least developed countries in the world.Therefore, few people from abroad are willing to understand what universities in this country are like.

It's not deliberate neglect, it's purely habitual ignorance.

Most of the people who live here are used to this kind of ignorance, and it's fine to live their own lives.Being a professor at Rabe University is already stronger than most people in the country.

Of course, there are also people who are unwilling to be ignored, eager to escape from this environment and stand on a higher platform to see better scenery.

Obote Laylow clearly falls into the latter category.

From a young age, Obote was an unremarkable person.In fact, growing up in this war-torn land and having an advanced degree is indeed an amazing talent.Of course, the important thing is that his family background is also good.

But this is not enough, especially after studying in France, Obote, who has broadened his horizons, yearns for the free, easy and romantic life in the Western world.

It is a pity that he did not stay on that land after graduating from Paris-Saclay University.The University of Thackeray he studied was not very famous enough, and was even called the University of the Pheasant, so after the student visa expired, he had to return to his own country again.

However, this study abroad experience allowed him to successfully apply for a job at Rabe University and become a professor in the Department of Mathematics.

Ordinary people would probably accept fate, but Obote didn't consider himself ordinary.During his days as a professor at Rabe University, he never stopped studying and researching. He hopes to teach at prestigious schools such as Princeton, Harvard, or Imperial College and University of Paris, and to contact some celebrities through the springboard of colleges and universities.

In two years, after submitting several resumes, Obote finally began to calm down and analyze the situation, and found that in order to be valued by these schools, he needed a recommendation letter from a high enough academic leader, or was able to do it. Let these schools understand his worth of grades.

Topic selection, research, dissertation...

He set his sights on the "Annual Mathematics" edited by Princeton University, and he believed that as long as he worked hard, as long as a shocking paper could be published in "Annual Mathematics", his ideal would be realized.The whole world will see where he shines.

So he began to devote himself to the partial differential equations with the highest grades in college.

Another five years passed, and he delivered a total of six papers to the Annals of Mathematics, and then had six disappointments.Rejection emails were coming in faster and faster, making him suspect that the editors of Annals of Mathematics weren't reading his paper carefully.

Obote suspected he was being treated differently because of the color of his skin, but he had no proof of that, those damn white lords!

This also made his mentality more and more anxious, after all, he is 36 years old.If he continued to spend a few years at Rabe University, he suspected that he would gradually decay like this university, and he was not reconciled.

……

"Like this example, we need to cleverly use the coupling between the fluid velocity field and the magnetic field to calculate the blasting criterion for the smooth solution of the incompressible magnetic fluid equations in the BMo space. Of course, this is not a simple idea. It can be said that it is my original creation. Mathematical method. I hope everyone will take a good look at this paper of mine and solve the example problems on the blackboard through the mathematical method described in my paper.”

The homework that Obote Laylow explained in the class was replaced by the wailing of the students in the audience.

Compared with normal work, this kind of work with private goods is the most difficult to write.

In particular, Professor Obote Laylow's paper is obscure and difficult to understand. Asking them to solve problems according to the mathematical methods in the paper is basically equivalent to writing a paper. The daily homework must arrange the paper, which makes people want to die. .

But Obote is clearly used to this kind of reaction.

Without giving the students a chance to protest, he picked up the organized lesson plan and walked out of the class as soon as the bell rang.

These children are not yet sensible, and they are now exposed to the precious wealth of a great mathematical thinker. Obote believes that when these students graduate, there will always be a few talented people who will understand him.

So leave it all to time.

Back in the humble office, Obote Laylo turned on the computer and started habitually logging in to the official website of Annals of Mathematics.

For a professor who has become obsessed with publishing papers in this journal, spending some time every day, looking at the introductions of relevant papers published here, and finding omissions that so-called university scholars cannot find can be said to be a kind of Something that can satisfy his spirit infinitely.

The only problem is that Rabe University's network is terrible, and it takes a minute or two to log in to the website every time.This is actually not just a problem with Rabe University. In fact, the network infrastructure is too bad to blame the school.

Obote could only curse those telecom operators in his heart...

Make money but never want to improve the quality of service as soon as possible, only to be poor for a lifetime.

Finally, 1 minute later, the official website was logged in, but it looked different from before. A huge title appeared in front of Obote Lei Luo. The moment he saw the title, he froze for a moment, and then clicked in doubt. go in.

The front page of Annals of Mathematics should not look like this, unless this paper…

Halfway through his mind, Obote saw the loaded author information.

"Huaxia people? Yanbei Mathematical Research Center, Yanbei University, Yanbei Sports University? Students? What the hell is this?"

When he saw the column for the author's unit, Obote Laylow was furious.

When he was studying in France, he had heard a lot of news about China. Obviously, it was an ignorant and backward country. The people there were oppressed every day, but they were already numb, and even forgot how to resist, like walking dead.

Students in such a country actually published such a paper claiming to have solved the NS equations with smooth and unique solutions? "Annuals of Mathematics" actually published such an apparently unreasonable paper, and rejected his paper?
