Chapter 31: Winners are themselves
That night, in the final interview.
Regarding the question of Qin Haifeng, the researcher on duty, who said, "With the accuracy of the equipment of this observatory, it is not enough to observe such a significant result",
Gu Wan still explained to Ma Xiyuan and the other three reporters very sincerely and concisely.
The words used to explain are as simple as possible, but they can't stand the fact that the three of them are all liberal arts students, and they have no foundation at all, so they still didn't understand in the end.
Plus they're just the media, not a scientific research and appraisal agency, so it's actually useless to understand them-
After everyone took the materials back to the editor-in-chief of their respective units, the leaders felt that the explanations of these scientific theories were not important.
The reason is that although journalists are generally liberal arts students and are not good at scientific literacy, they still go to university and are among the top 10 percent of the public who are relatively educated.
If a reporter doesn't understand something, there's no need to put it in a newspaper or website column, and the public can't understand it.
The public just needs to know the conclusions, which is the gist of the news media industry.
Just like on the earth, many people who eat melons know that Hawking is awesome, but how many people know what Hawking is researching? Most of them can't even say a research direction.
"In China, no matter how well-known things are, at least 100 million people don't know about them. And most of the time, there are a billion people who don't know. β
That's why the war with Xiaobai is so difficult.
Under this tone, the rules for reporting on Gu Wan's follow-up deeds have also been finalized.
Those online media who are not afraid of trouble decided to send it out within a day or two after finishing the manuscript.
Ma Xiyuan's side, after all, "Metropolis Evening News" is a big newspaper that is responsible for what it says and can't be changed indiscriminately, so I decided to slow down a little -
Didn't Gu Wan say that his paper on experimental methods had been submitted to the Journal of Tunghai University, and Professor Yuan Xiong had already helped arrange and replied to inform him that it would be published in the July issue.
The Metropolis Evening Post waited a few more days, did its homework carefully, and then published a special topic, and the wording should be more rigorous, with a statement such as "the reliability and authenticity of the relevant experimental methods are from the Journal of Tunghai University", so that the newspaper does not have to bear the risk of fake news.
In terms of cutting-edge science and technology reporting, this is also a common method used by traditional big newspapers that are arrogant.
β¦β¦
After the reporters left, two days later, Gu Yu also took his sister Li Shuangye to finish work completely, pack up and go back to Ark City.
From beginning to end, the brother and sister lived in County A, a small mountainous county under Lake City, for more than ten days.
Renting equipment and food and housing cost a total of more than 20,000 yuan, and there were some temporary borrowed modification accessories and related expenses, which were also about 10,000 yuan, and the total cost reached 34,000.
It is also thanks to Gu that the players are still middle-class, and his parents are still willing to give tens of thousands of yuan in sponsorship, so that he can go so smoothly.
If you are really born in a low-level and destitute family, although 30,000 yuan may still be able to make up, the family will definitely be strictly tortured about the purpose, and you will never be allowed to throw it at something that cannot be returned to the basics such as scientific experiments.
In that case, maybe Gu Yu will have to use the advantages of the traverser and find a way to get the first pot of gold on the scale of tens of thousands before he can start his great cause of scientific discovery.
Sure enough, it's better for Lao Tzuniang to have a little money.
After returning to Ark City, his mother Ye Di's attitude towards Gu Yu was a little more gentle, perhaps because she knew that her son had suffered for more than ten days in the open, so he had changed.
Even when he took Gu Yu to his home, he directly took Li Shuangye to his own house, Ye Di did not show the slightest disgust, and also cooked for the brothers and sisters with his own hands, adding a big soup yellow croaker that Li Shuangye loves to eat.
It seems that Ye Di really accepted Li Shuangye completely and was willing to treat her as a daughter.
"Have you read the latest reports in the newspapers and on the Internet? It seems that you have become a celebrity, and they all say that you are indifferent to fame and fortune, and you regard the champion as nothing. During the meal, Ye Di chatted with his son while serving soup.
"yes? I probably know what they're going to write, but I haven't seen it myself. Gu Yu carefully picked the fish bones and replied perfunctorily and casually.
Ye Di got up, took out a notebook, and expanded it to a page, on which were newspaper clippings from several influential newspapers in the state, including the "Metropolitan Evening News".
The interviews about the top students in this year's college entrance examination have been specially cut out and collected.
After entering the Internet era, the number of people who read newspapers has greatly decreased, that is, those white-collar workers who do not have computers in the workplace still read them. But since it is a glorious report of his own family, it is normal to cut the newspaper out of it.
Gu Play can feel the pride in her mother's heart.
He wanted to make his mother happy, so he reported the answer in advance: "These are nothing, in just a few days, there will be a follow-up interview with the more glorious ancestors." Next week, the July issue of the Journal of Tunghai University will come out, and I'll get you a copy with my paper on it. β
"Really?" Ye Di flashed a trace of tears, and suddenly felt that there was nothing wrong with letting his son learn physics.
In addition to money, there is also fame in this world. The son is willing to pursue fame, so let's pursue fame, and he can't help it.
"Of course it's true, this kind of thing can be verified in a few days, don't I lie to you right away?" Gu Yu felt that his mother's rhetorical question was a little funny.
"That's good," Ye Di turned his head, wiped the corners of his eyes without any traces, and sighed, "By the way, the last time your father sent you money, did you read the attached email? It's been more than ten days, and you are not filial enough, take the money and run away."
Let's see what he says. For many years, I have always felt that he is the one who mistook people's children, and he had to hold custody in his hands at the beginning, for fear that you would be taken by him and not do your job.
Now it seems that it still hasn't turned around, you kid, or according to the free-range route he wanted. That's it, I'll give you one last word, if you want to pursue science and fame in poverty in the future, I'll do whatever you want.
However, if you are too poor, I hope you don't pretend to be rich to cheat a wife to come back, you just die alone, cut off children and grandchildren, and don't cause trouble to the little girl who loves money. Of course, if you have the ability to be consistent with what you are on the surface, tell the other party that you are poor, and the other party is willing to suffer with you, then I will not interfere. β
When Gu Wan's parents divorced, his father Gu Ao didn't say that he wanted to give up custody completely, but after all, Gu Ao was the party at fault, and Ye Di was still a lawyer, so it was definitely impossible to fight legally.
The reason why Ye Di snatched custody was also because he was afraid that his son, like Lao Tzu, would go astray without greed for money and wolf, and wanted to transform his son into a successful person who did not recognize his relatives for money.
It's a pity that it can't withstand the inertia of nature.
Gu Yu felt that the topic was a little heavy, so he stopped participating and buried himself in eating.
After eating, he also felt that his mother's words made some sense, sat down in front of the computer, opened the mailbox on the Internet, and looked at the email sent to him by his father when he sent money ten days ago.
At the beginning of the email, it was nothing more than some homely things, congratulating my son on taking the first place in the Donghai State College Entrance Examination, attaching four years of tuition and first-year living expenses, a total of 50,000 yuan. He also said that if he was short of money, he could reply to the email at any time, and he would give him some advice when the time came.
The back is some suggestions for the future development of Gu Wan's life, which is general.
There were a few paragraphs in it, which made Gu Play a little interested, because Dad mentioned some questions that he had never thought about.
"Do you know why I gave you this name back then?
But in fact, there are many meanings in playing words, and the play in 'playthings lose their minds, and play people lose their morality' is certainly derogatory, and it is taken as a nickname.
"Zhou Yi" has a cloud: "It is the old gentleman's residence to look at its image and play its words, and to move to look at its changes and play its occupation", the word here is to take the meaning of "exploration and study", which is praise.
So, when Gu plays with the two words, is that play word a positive or derogatory meaning? I think that people with a little bit of cultural literacy should be able to see that this is a compliment.
Because the original text of "LΓΌ's Spring and Autumn" and "On Balance" contains: "Bole is good at horses, and what he sees is nothing more than a horse; The word Gu in this is translated as observation, which is the same as the meaning of Gu in "the song is wrong, Zhou Lang Gu";
Therefore, the use of the two words Gu and play is deliberate, that is, 'careful observation and careful study'. I gave you this name because I want you to play on the right path in your life.
Moreover, eighteen years ago, when you were named for a while, there was a wave of robot fever in the domestic science popularization community, and many people were talking about Alan Turing's Turing test, which was about to be broken through by artificial intelligence - although it has not been broken through for more than ten years.
But I've always felt that artificial intelligence will definitely come to your generation. If machines can learn, then machines are harder and more inhuman than humans, and humans will definitely not be able to fight machines.
People who succeed with hard work and can go against human nature will lose their competitiveness and become the dregs of society when artificial intelligence explodes. So, what is the latest field in which machines surpass humans? I think it's interest.
Only if you do something yourself and are happy to do it, you have a chance to deserve the value of human superiority over artificial intelligence. Playing chess against a machine is a very stupid act, especially if you are competing against micro-gymnastics.
Therefore, we have never found a period in history when the word 'play' could have such a rich positive meaning as it does today. Not only do you have to use 'play' to study seriously, but you also have to make sure that you are doing something with a 'play' mentality and doing something that you are genuinely interested in. People who have no hobbies will eventually be doomed, because they can't find a chance to surpass the machine in any dimension.
The era of competitive anti-human endurance is coming to an end. When you are studying, don't worry about money, as long as you don't toss around, Dad can still take out 10,000 yuan a month and do what you want to do. β
After reading the email, Gu Yu knew for the first time why his father gave him such a name.
For more than a decade, he has found it strange more than once.
Unexpectedly, his father has been a travel writer for so many years, and he turned out to be quite cultured, and the name has another meaning.
Since Dad has said that he wants him to be himself and let go of his hobbies, then he doesn't have to be polite.
After living for nearly 18 years, he can finally get rid of the shackles of his mother's money-worshipping and paying attention to values.
