The Passion of an Academic Rising Star

Because Han Shixiu accepted the invitation to participate in the China Internet Annual Conference, the only computer-related student association of T University, the T University Computer Association, found Han Shixiu and said that it is very great for a doctoral student to attend such a grand event. I hope Han Shixiu can do it this Saturday night. Give a more relaxed speech in Lecture Room 101 of XX Teaching Building, and let all interested students come and listen.

Naturally, Han Shixiu would not refuse.

His favorite thing is to spread his own academic views.

This opportunity to disseminate academic views is very rare.This shows that he has been appreciated by his peers, and finally someone has realized the value of those achievements.

In order to achieve the best results for this event, Han Shixiu prepared all night, and the bags under his eyes turned blue and black.Han Shixiu thinks that there will be many freshmen and sophomores who have just entered this field and don’t know much about professional knowledge. In order to let these people understand and find it interesting , it is natural to tell his research in a smarter and more understandable way.

Hong Li told Han Shixiu: "You can start your speech with a joke, so that the atmosphere will become lively and not dull."

Han Shixiu searched the Internet for a whole noon, and finally found such a joke:

Q: Why can't programmers tell the difference between Halloween and Christmas?

Answer: This is because Oct31=Dec25

"..." Hong Li said, "Why?"

"Because 31 in octal is equal to 25 in decimal."

"a little cold……"

"what?"

"Just forget about the jokes." Hong Li said, "Just concentrate on preparing the content of the speech."

"Okay...Ok..."

Han Shixiu spent two whole nights preparing more than 60 pages of slides. Each page was dazzling, with various animations flying around. All are recorded on it, and then practice repeatedly to make sure nothing goes wrong.

This week, Han Shixiu didn't sleep more than four hours a day - he was too serious about this event.Even on the way to the laboratory in the morning, Han Shixiu would look down at his notebook.

Sometimes he would also imagine the scene when he was the only protagonist on Saturday—the scene was crowded with people, and many people could only stand in the back row because they had no seats. The benches are placed in the aisle... The students listened to the speech quietly, took notes seriously, and showed expressions of thought from time to time. In the subsequent question and answer period, many people actively raised their own questions, exchanged their opinions, and conducted With heated debates and even quarrels, the Association for Computing Machinery had to postpone the end time several times. Finally, because it was too late and the lecture theater was about to close, it had to regretfully announce that it would end here tonight... I left a note on the blackboard. After downloading the contact information, I received countless enthusiastic emails that night...

The Association for Computing Machinery produced low-cost leaflets for this event and pasted them on the publicity boards of each teaching building.Although only black and white, and only a small one, Han Shixiu is very grateful for their hard work and dedication.

Once, Han Shixiu found that his leaflet was covered by a huge poster teaching Latin dance. The content of the leaflet was completely covered, and the position became a leg of a dancing woman.Han Shixiu felt sad, so he got up early the next day. As soon as the door of the teaching building opened, he sneaked in front of the publicity board, lifted up a small corner of the huge poster teaching Latin dance, and rolled up the leg A little bit, revealing the information that he is about to speak.In this way, it's fine, and the activities of both sides can be seen, so why not give the other party a chance to show their faces.It would be a pity if someone interested in computers missed this opportunity because they didn't see the flyer.

—— On Saturday, Han Shixiu arrived at the auditorium early.

Together with a female cadre from the Computing Association, he fixed the projector, made sure that the microphone could be used normally, and wrote a few calculation formulas that will be used on the blackboard, and then began to wait nervously and excitedly.

It was 20 minutes before the start and no one came.

It was 15 minutes before the start, and still no one came.

10 minutes until the start and still... no one came.

Han Shixiu looked blankly at the girl from the Association for Computing Machinery.

"Uh..." The girl seemed a little caught off guard, "I didn't expect it to rain today..."

"...?"

Don't you come to the lecture just because it's raining?

The scheduled start time has come, but there is still no one.

"Wait a little longer..." The girl comforted Han Shixiu and said, "General activities don't start on time, and there are usually some opening remarks before it, so many people like to be late."

"Hmm..." Han Shixiu nodded blankly.

After another 10 minutes, the girl stood up suddenly and said to Han Shixiu, "...let's go back."

"……Um?"

"Unlucky, with such a ghostly weather, it seems that no one will come."

"I...I'll wait..." Han Shixiu still stood on the podium and refused to come down: "It's raining outside... Naturally, walking will be slower, maybe we will arrive soon..."

The girl sighed: "I don't think it's very likely."

"I...I still want to wait..."

"...Then I'll be leaving first." The girl said, "Don't forget to put away the projector and microphone when it's over."

"……Oh."

Han Shixiu looked at the empty classroom and thought, "I can't give up. If someone came over in the rain but didn't see me, it would be so disappointing."

Just as Han Shixiu was trying to cheer himself up, a boy pushed open the door of the classroom with a "bang".

Han Shixiu suddenly turned his head to look at him.

"Uh..." The boy's clothes were already wet a lot, especially around the shoulders on both sides, and water kept dripping from his hair.

"You... are you here to listen to the lecture?" Han Shixiu was so excited that he even raised his voice: "Then let's start now!"

After speaking, Han Shixiu opened his own slideshow file and clicked the "Play" button.

"Switch," Han Shixiu said loudly, "is a network device used for electrical signal forwarding. In the computer network system, the concept of switching has improved the shared work mode..."

After finishing the lecture, Han Shixiu suddenly found that the male student was looking at him with an awkward expression, his expression looked very strange.

"This... this classmate, what's wrong with you?"

"That..." the student said, "I'm the only one... I think, let's forget it?"

"……what?"

"It's just one audience, how boring... How about this, you give me a copy of your slides, and I'll email you if you have any questions?"

"No." Han Shixiu shook his head firmly: "You are the only one who came to listen to my lectures in the rain. I will never disappoint your desire to learn knowledge."

"..."

Han Shixiu clicked "Next Page" again, the slides changed, and various animations flew up.

"That..." The male student interrupted Han Shixiu again, hesitated a few times, and finally made up his mind, saying, "I'm not here to listen to your lecture. I'm in this classroom this afternoon, and I forgot my sneakers here, buddy." They are all waiting for me to go to the gymnasium to play, me, I will go first."

After finishing speaking, he didn't dare to look at Han Shixiu again, rushed to the door and rushed out. When the door was closed, it made the same "bang" sound as when he came in.

Han Shixiu felt as if the door had been thrown on him, and every organ felt pain.

It turned out that in the end, there was still no one.

No one wanted to hear him present his research.

nobody.

Han Shixiu's vision was a little blurred.

He took out his mobile phone, looked at the word "Zhou Moqun", restrained himself several times, but finally dialed it.

"Master Han?" Zhou Moqun's voice remained the same as before: "What's wrong?"

"Zhou Moqun..." Han Shixiu walked around the desk and sat on the podium: "The Computer Association of University T invited me to give a speech on my research field...but...no one came, no one came ...One came just now, but he said he was just here to pick up the sneakers he forgot on the seat, came in and then left again. Why...why no one wants to hear..."

Holding the phone, Han Shixiu said, "The rain has stopped, it has stopped...why is there still no one coming..."

"There will be." Zhou Moqun's voice seemed to have a reassuring force: "Some people haven't noticed that the rain has stopped. Wait a little longer, and someone will appear in the classroom."

"Really...really?"

"Of course it's true." Zhou Moqun said softly, "When have I lied to you?"

"Okay..." Han Shixiu said, "I, I'll wait and see. I won't tell you. If someone comes in and sees the speaker on the phone, it's very bad."

Han Shixiu has always believed in Zhou Moqun.

Since Zhou Moqun thought that someone would come, maybe...someone would really come.

After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, the door rang again.

This time it was different from the "bang" just now, but was pushed away carefully.

Han Shixiu looked in the direction, and several students appeared behind the door.

— Four boys and two girls.

"That..." A girl said hesitantly, "Is Han Shixiu's lecture here?"

"Yes, yes!" Han Shixiu said, "Please find a seat in the front row!"

"You..." After everyone was seated, Han Shixiu asked: "Are you students from the School of Computer Science? It seems that I haven't seen you.... Or are you computer enthusiasts from other schools?"

"We are graduate students of the School of Computer Science, University of P." A girl replied, "Just now, a large group of tutors sent emails, saying that University of T has a speech in our direction. It should be very good. It will be beneficial to listen to it. I suggest that we all come."

The other boy looked like he had just woken up, and said, "Master Mentor said he would come here too, okay? This is not a suggestion, but a coercion. Come on, who can stay in the dormitory any longer?"

"This...so..." Han Shixiu felt excited, blushed, and said, "Then let's start from the beginning!"

— After talking for more than ten minutes, the door was pushed open for the third time.

——It was the boy who came to get the sneakers just now!

The boy scratched his head in embarrassment, smiled, sat in the first row, took out a notebook and a pen, looked up at Shixiu Han's slide, lowered his head, and quickly memorized something.

Han Shixiu couldn't believe it.

He, why is he back again!

Then, after ten minutes, Han Shixiu's speech was interrupted for the second time.

About thirteen or four people slipped into the first row and sat down next to the boy.It seems that they are all his buddies.

With twenty audiences at once, Han Shixiu played extremely well, and at the end, it really caused a lot of discussion.

……

"That," at the end, when he was leaving, Han Shixiu pretended to be unintentional and asked the boy who came to get the sneakers: "You, why are you back again?"

"Hi..." the boy said, "Don't mention it... I always feel that I shouldn't leave, so I just left like I did something wrong, and I didn't have any thoughts on playing ball, just thinking that I should go back to listen to your speech .It’s not important to play ball or something, so I’ll just go back.”

"so……"

"As for my classmates, seeing what lecture I was going to attend suddenly, they all thought I was sick. I said I really wanted to hear it. A few of them were curious, so they followed, haha... But, they Originally, I was going to leave after staying for a minute, just to see what it was. I didn't even expect that there were quite a few people in this group, and they all sat at the end. They said, look at me, and your seriousness So, there is no way to go."

"Thank you... thank you..."

Han Shixiu didn't know what he was thanking.

He only knew that although it was different from what he had expected, this speech was also another kind of perfect ending.

At this time Zhou Moqun came over and asked quietly, "Didn't you have dinner?"

"No……"

"Just a guess." Zhou Moqun said, "Go to the stir-fry restaurant next door?"

"OK...OK."

Yes, Zhou Moqun is the mentor of those six students...

——As soon as Han Shixiu sat in the restaurant, he nervously asked Zhou Moqun how he behaved just now.

"Very good." Zhou Moqun said with a smile: "I didn't expect you to conduct such a research. I had a paper before which I put forward a similar hypothesis, but I didn't explore it as deeply as you did, because that hypothesis was not the main content of the paper. .”

"I know." Han Shixiu said, "Is it your doctoral thesis?"

"Huh?" Zhou Moqun seemed a little surprised: "Have you read it?"

"Yes." Han Shixiu said coyly: "I also know that you further demonstrated the topic of your doctoral dissertation and published it in XXXXX magazine in April 200X, and it was also the main feature of that issue. It is also the result of your third article being included in SCI."

"Oh?" Zhou Moqun smiled even more: "You know it so clearly...I really didn't expect it."

"Well……"

Originally, Han Shixiu did not know.

However, because he had joined the penguin colony of Zhou Moqun's admirers before, and had done such a perverted entry test, he was forced to know everything about Zhou Moqun.

Yes, at that time, the group owner came out and said: Our group is not a high-level group, and it is almost full, so you can’t just come in casually. If you want to brag and beat up a nympho, it’s better to leave. Here we are, They are all students who are really interested in Mr. Zhou's topic.

She also said that in order to verify this point, it is necessary to go through the process and follow the rules.Newcomers who join the group must first answer 45 questions. Answering more than [-] questions is considered qualified. The answer time is [-] seconds per question, and it will be invalid when it is expired. These [-] questions are randomly selected. Only those who pass this can officially join .

Then, she posted countless big tricks and asked many questions, such as what is the project that Mr. Zhou is working on now, which is the first paper published in XXXXX magazine, and what is the conclusion of the paper? What, wait.

Later, after joining that group, the girls would always gossip about Zhou Moqun.For example, which cafeteria Zhou Moqun likes to go to the most, what time does Zhou Moqun usually go to, how many shirts of each color does Zhou Moqun have... Even if Han Shixiu doesn't want to know, he has to know.

After talking for a long time, Han Shixiu suddenly realized that he hadn't ordered food yet.

So Han Shixiu picked up the menu and looked through it carefully.

"Hmm..." Han Shixiu silently recited the names of the dishes one by one, and felt that they were all unfamiliar... The number of times he has been to the restaurant can be counted on the fingers... However, as a rigorous scientific worker, he does not like to take risks and challenge unknown areas , um, that is to say...he never eats dishes he doesn't know...

After several minutes passed like this, Han Shixiu finally saw a familiar dish name - Mushu persimmon!

"This, this," Han Shixiu pointed to the Mushu persimmons and said, "I want to eat tomato scrambled eggs!"

"Huh?" Zhou Moqun raised his eyes to look at Han Shixiu: "Okay."

"Zhou Moqun..." Han Shixiu said, "This is your favorite dish, isn't it?"

"……Um?"

"Yes... yes..." Han Shixiu said, "I know, this is what you order most often when you go to the cafeteria."

"If you say that, it seems to be true."

Han Shixiu was very excited: "Absolutely right! You have to buy it twice a week!"

Zhou Moqun smiled, but said nothing.

In fact, he didn't like it much.I order this simply because it is the specialty of Chef P.

Han Shixiu thought about it, what did Zou Sijiu like.

Hmm... What Zou Sijiu usually ordered seems to be...big bones and the like...

Han Shixiu continued: "As for soup, your favorite is minced chicken and corn soup..."

"Master Han," Zhou Moqun said with focused eyes, "Why do you want to inquire about these things?"

Zhou Moqun knew Han Shixiu very well.Han Shixiu would never participate in those chats and gossips.Everything Han Shixiu knew was what he himself wanted to know.

"Well..." Han Shixiu said vaguely, "That's because of that..."

Such gossip should be very annoying...

"Which is that?"

"Just, that's..."

All this was known from the penguin group... However, Han Shixiu didn't want Zhou Moqun to know.

Wait... Han Shixiu suddenly realized that what he knew about the person in front of him was all those things that "many people know".

Even though they are so close, there is nothing that only you know...

I am on the same level as those girls in this respect...

It would be great if I could share one of Zhou Moqun's secrets——

For example, Zhou Moqun actually loves stinky tofu——

At the thought of being "special", Han Shixiu couldn't restrain his excitement.

He and Zhou Moqun are friends, maybe Zhou Moqun can tell him something that those girls didn't find out——

"Zhou Moqun," Han Shixiu carefully asked out of this mentality, "You, do you have any secrets that no one else knows?"

"...What?" Zhou Moqun suddenly raised his head and stared at Han Shixiu, which surprised Han Shixiu.

……What's wrong?

Han Shixiu had no choice but to repeat it again: "It is... the secret... hidden in my heart..."

"Master Han..." Zhou Moqun spoke again after a while: "What do you mean by this...?"

"what?"

Zhou Moqun pursed his lips tightly: "Yes."

"Ok?"

"Didn't you ask me if there is something hidden in my heart that I have never told anyone?"

"Yes, yes."

"Have."

"Huh?" Han Shixiu was on the verge of riding a tiger at this moment: "I, can I know?"

Zhou Moqun was still staring at Han Shixiu, as if he was trying to figure out what Han Shixiu meant, he seemed very hesitant.

Seeing Zhou Moqun's appearance, even Han Shixiu became nervous and felt restless.

"..." Zhou Moqun remained silent.

"Forget it...forget it..." Seeing that Zhou Moqun didn't want to say anything, Han Shixiu naturally wouldn't force him.

However, what is it that no one else knows can make this person look so different from before.

On the other hand, Zhou Moqun seemed to have made up his mind suddenly, and asked, "Master Han, have you... already seen it?"

"……Um?"

figure it out?What do you see?

Zhou Moqun asked again: "Are you hoping that I will tell you clearly?"
