044. Professor Zhang has finally returned to school

"Ning Hao, please come to my office, Professor Zhang is back, he wants to see you!"

After receiving Dean Zhang's call, Ning Hao was stunned, and had a faint premonition, the old man in the court seat yesterday could not be Professor Zhang!

One is the coincidence, and the other is that people who are so interested in robot crimes, scholars like Professor Zhang are naturally indispensable. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Coupled with the reaction of the old man yesterday, it is not like ordinary people.

Knocking on the door and entering, Dean Zhang was alone in the office, and when he saw Ning Hao, he quickly took off his reading glasses, got up, and pulled Ning Hao out together, closing the door with his backhand, and said, "Go, I'll take you to his office!" Professor Zhang just arrived in Shuangqing yesterday morning, and as soon as he arrives at the school this morning, let me invite you over! ”

"Because he is a highly respected returning professor, the college respects him very much and takes care of him, and the college has set up an independent office for him, which is on the top floor of our building, connected to his own laboratory."

In the elevator, Dean Zhang made a brief introduction.

"Your Institute of Human Intelligence, isn't there another associate professor named Jiang Youyou, who is eight years old Chinese New Year's Eve today, and is a student of Professor Zhang, and after he stayed at the university to teach, he has been serving as Professor Zhang's assistant, and his office is also on it."

"Professor Zhang is the Dinghai Divine Needle of our Qingyi Academy, with a wide range of knowledge and profound academic attainments, even the principal has to give him three points!"

Ning Hao listened to Dean Zhang's introduction, and what lingered in his mind was always the image of the white-haired old man yesterday.

On the ninth floor, through the long corridor, at the door of an office at the end, Dean Zhang knocked lightly.

"Qiming, is that you?" A deep voice rang out in the room.

Zhang Qiming is Dean Zhang's full name, and it can be seen that the person who spoke out was Professor Zhang.

Dean Zhang gently pushed the door, bowed slightly and said, "Professor Zhang, I brought Ning Hao over!" ”

"Hurry up, hurry up, please come in!"

As soon as he entered the door, Ning Hao saw a tall white-haired old man with a Chinese face, who had just gotten up from behind his desk and was looking at him with a smile.

"Ahh Aren't you the old gentleman who sat in the courtroom yesterday? Ning Hao said in surprise.

"Eyes are pointy! Not bad! I went yesterday and listened to your wonderful technical explanation! Professor Zhang smiled slightly and motioned for the two of them to sit down on the sofa next to them.

It may be that when he heard a movement in Professor Zhang's office, a middle-aged man turned in when he heard the sound, his body was slightly chubby, his face was round, white and clean, with few wrinkles, like a big doll, if you only speculate from his appearance, this person's personality should be the type that is naturally easy-going.

"Dean Zhang, are you here?" The man greeted respectfully.

"Oh! Xiao Jiang! Let me introduce to you, this is a new young leader in our college, Ning Hao, who specializes in robotics! ”

As Dean Zhang spoke, he turned his head to look at Ning Hao: "This one is the associate professor Jiang Youyou I mentioned to you!" ”

"Hello Mr. Jiang! Fortunately! Fortunately! Ning Hao hurriedly got up from the sofa and took the initiative to meet and hold Jiang Youyou's hand.

"You are Ning Hao! The lad is so handsome! We are a research institute, and we will cooperate well in the future! Jiang Youyou smiled honestly, modest and polite.

At this time, Professor Zhang reached out to pull his leather chair, and Jiang Youyou hurriedly stepped forward, pulled the leather chair out from behind the desk, and placed it opposite the sofa.

After everyone sat down, Professor Zhang smiled and said, "Yesterday, did you develop the image recognition and speculation software you made public? ”

"Yes! When I was making a robot, I suddenly thought of such an idea, so I wrote an algorithm by the way. ”

"Sure enough, it's a doctor from MIT, and it's extraordinary!" Professor Zhang's eyes were full of approval.

Hearing Professor Zhang say his doctorate, Ning Hao glanced at Dean Zhang nervously, and Dean Zhang smiled: "Ning Hao, don't worry, I only told Professor Zhang about your real experience, of course, Xiao Jiang also knows, but they are very understanding of your low-key and will definitely keep it a secret for you!" ”

"Don't worry! Ning Hao, in fact, our Professor Zhang is also as low-key as you, the teacher has traveled to various countries in his early years, and now he is also a consultant of a future science and technology laboratory in Europe! It's just that we never advertise it to the outside world! As Jiang Youyou spoke, he brought over a cup of tea and placed it on the coffee table in front of Professor Zhang.

"What do you two drink? Green tea? He asked gently.

Dean Zhang smiled: "Okay! Professor Zhang's tea is always the best! ”

Ning Hao cooperated with the dean and nodded with a smile.

He saw that Professor Zhang's teacup was a glass with a lid with a large capacity, and the contents of the brew were very rich, including green tea, mulberry leaves, and He Shou Wu.

"I'm old, I usually like to drink some health tea, this is brain tea, do you want to try it?" Professor Zhang saw that Ning Hao was a little curious about his tea and smiled.

"No need! Thank you! By the way, Professor, why did you come over yesterday to sit in? Ning Hao took the topic in the direction he was interested in.

When Professor Zhang heard this, his face turned sharply and he sighed: "Alas! To tell you the truth, that suspect Kong Fei, he used to be my student! I still remember his undergraduate graduation project, which made a robot that can play backgammon by himself, although it is far worse than Google's AlphaGo, but it still left a deep impression on me! I didn't expect this kid to go astray in the end......"

"I see!" Ning Hao suddenly realized.

Jiang Youyou just handed the green tea to Dean Zhang and Ning Hao, and Professor Zhang said, "Qiming, Xiao Jiang, if you have something, you can get busy first, and I'll talk to Ning Hao." ”

Dean Zhang and Jiang Youyou immediately understood and politely said goodbye.

When there were only two people left in the office, Professor Zhang took a sip of health tea, his face was slightly heavy, and he asked in a low voice, "Ning Hao, you are Ning Yuan's son, right?" ”

Ning Hao was stunned, and inferred from Professor Zhang's age that he must have seen his father's "old acquaintance" in Qingyi College, and now he broke away from others and talked to himself about his father, did he know anything?

"Have you seen my father? Do you know about him? Ning Hao's curiosity grew.

"I heard Qiming say, you grew up in an orphanage, and your memory before the age of 4 was completely lost, and you can't remember what your parents looked like! What a pity! ”

"That's why I went back to Shuangqing City, I want to find my roots, otherwise, I don't even know where I came from!"

"Where did we come from and where are we going? Such a philosophical question, I have been thinking about it for decades, it is really difficult! Professor Zhang shook his head.

Immediately, he asked thoughtfully, "Then how did you get to the orphanage?" Didn't your father leave you any relics back then? Or a last word relayed to you through an orphanage? ”

Whenever it came to his parents, Ning Hao was very alert, and Professor Zhang's question caught his attention.

Among the "old acquaintances", the old professor was the first to be so interested in his father's details, and the others answered their questions passively, while Professor Zhang seemed to actively want to know more.

Ning Hao shook his head and said, "Listening to the aunt in the orphanage, I heard a noise in the middle of the night, and came out to see me, so I went in!" Father left nothing! ”

When Professor Zhang heard this, a trace of disappointment flashed on his face, yes, Ning Hao keenly captured his fleeting expression, not regret, not sadness, but disappointment.

Immediately, the old professor raised his glass and shook it gently, so that the tea leaves and medicinal herbs inside swirled slightly with the flow of water.

"It's a shame that your father died too soon! Back then, not long after he came to Qingyi Academy, we heard that both of them died of violent illness! It's heartbreaking! The old man said slowly, as if he had begun his long memories.

"Speaking of which, Ning Yuan and I are really destined, I am twelve years older than him, as soon as he came, we became partners and participated in a project together, but the good times didn't last long!"

After a sigh of sighing, Professor Zhang talked a lot about Qingyi College and the Institute of Artificial Intelligence, the content was normal work exchanges, Ning Hao took the initiative to cooperate, and the two talked happily.

At the end, Professor Zhang said mysteriously: "Ning Hao, I know that you are a person with quite ideas, and I have some opinions, perhaps similar to yours, such as Adam Smith's invisible hand, I am a strong supporter of this doctrine!" When we have a chance, we'll talk again! ”

Saying goodbye to Professor Zhang, Ning Hao savored his words along the way, "Invisible Hand", why did he say this to himself?

It is impossible for two artificial intelligence experts to meet to talk about economic principles!

Does he know that he is quietly using technology to develop the industry? So how much does he know? Is his heart, his true attitude towards himself, good or evil?
