Gu Mojie's trip out of the house was more than ten days long, after a crazy game of cooking oil in Hong Kong and Macao, followed by a quiet journey of several days of isolation from the world.

Several rounds of sunrises and sunsets on the sea, alternating between cold and heat, and the sea water turning from blue and ink to yellow and green bile.

The days on a cruise ship always give people the illusion of traveling through time and space; The scenery is these scenery every day, and the four fields are full of reckless sea, but often the day before is still the feeling of winter, and when you wake up the next day, you may be back to late autumn, and the next day it will be midsummer. And this qiē, in fact, is just the illusion brought about by the changes in the latitude and depth of the sea between the wind and waves, which makes people feel as if every day has a sense of time and space.

European and American tourists, but anyone who likes cruises, knows a proverb: if you are not married, go on a long-distance cruise, maybe you will get married when you get off the ship. If you are married and tired of it, you can also go once, maybe you will want to get a divorce when you get off the boat.

When I got off the ship from the cruise ship terminal in Mingzhou Port, the winter vacation had already ended for two or three days. Gu Mojie's long-tense soul has also been purified. Although the days on the ship are just watching the scenery and talking, karaoke and music, and he still treats Lu Wenjun politely, but the sublimation of acquaintance brought by only five or six days is worth the precipitation of months when he is usually busy.

Fei Liluo's mentality has gradually calmed down from the restless change when Gu Mojie saw through his mind at the beginning. This journey made her understand a lot of details: she always thought that she knew Gu Mojie very well, who knew that Gu Mojie still had so many secrets, so many talents that needed to be tasted slowly like alcohol, and she needed to slowly understand. There are still many places where she is behind Lu Wenjun, in this case, what qualifications does she have to rush to break through?

……

When the boat came down, another little thing that gave Gu Mojie the illusion of "seven days in the mountains" was that his mobile phone crackled for a long time. There was no base station signal at sea, and he didn't have a satellite phone, starting when he returned to the port of Naha in Okinawa. His phone was quiet for two days, and it wasn't until this moment that he was crammed in.

His cousin Zhou Lixin sent him many text messages, which seemed urgent. said that a few foreigners found him and talked to Gu Mojie about something. The text message didn't say what the specific thing was, it should be that the other party didn't tell Zhou Lixin, and he had to see Gu Mojie himself before he was willing to say it in person.

Gu Mojie immediately called Zhou Lixin back. The phone was connected, and Zhou Lixin didn't ask him for a travel gift. didn't say hello, and directly split his head and said: "You're good, it's cool to go out for so many days." Two Canadians called the company the day before yesterday and said that there were some things they wanted to talk to you about, but they wouldn't say anything specific. I can't help you with ideas, but I just asked them who they are, it's the University of Toronto -- when did you meet this foreigner? ”

Gu Mojie was also puzzled, and was stunned for a moment: "University of Toronto? I've never been in contact with it, how can you find me? ”

"Forget it, I don't care about you, just know your own affairs. Those people called the day before yesterday. Yesterday afternoon, I flew to Hujiang, I came to visit the company, I heard that I took a taxi directly from Pudong Airport to the city, I blocked back. Tomorrow will come, you prepare yourself. ”

Gu Mojie hung up the phone, still without a bottom in his heart, this matter came too suddenly. He figured out the information available and thought that the two Canadians should be in a hurry. Otherwise, the flight from the east coast of North America to Hujiang will take at least 14 hours. If it wasn't urgent, it would be impossible for the other party to go straight to Qiantang without resting in Hujiang as soon as he got off the plane.

It was a direct flight across the Pacific Ocean, and with a Boeing 747, you had to refuel in Los Angeles or Tokyo to get there.

Feliro was most alert. After listening to Gu Mojie's phone call, he immediately recovered from the idle state of travel, and asked with a little vigilance: "There are foreign customers looking for you?" I heard you mention the University of Toronto, is there anything you want to talk about? Do you want me to help you? ”

"I don't know yet, I'm not in a hurry, I'll come to the company tomorrow. I'll go home first and get a good night's rest. ”

The group didn't bother to wait for the long-distance bus, so they chartered a car directly in Mingzhou and rushed back to Qiantang. When he returned home in the evening, Gu Mojie just said hello to his parents and reported that he was safe, so he locked himself in the house and began to check information on the Internet, and he didn't even have time to open the gifts he brought back from travel, let alone distribute them to his parents.

He first checked some information about the University of Toronto, analyzed the main strong majors of this university, and tried to use this as a breakthrough to speculate on the identity and intention of the person who came.

Before checking, Gu Mojie arbitrarily speculated that the University of Toronto should be a computer powerhouse, so it was possible to intersect with his business. But after checking it, he found that his speculation was wrong, Toronto's strengths are microelectronics and biomedicine;

However, the strength of this university is still very strong, and it belongs to the level of bull ears in Canada, and in terms of scientific research strength, it can also be regarded as the level of "New Ivy League University".

As we all know, there are eight prestigious schools in the northeast of the United States, known as the Ivy League schools, that is, Harvard, Yale, Princeton, and Columbia, and their academic strength does not need to be repeated. But in recent years, there is another saying that 25 "new Ivy League schools" have been selected, and it is said that the academic strength is not far behind.

Don't think that the "New Ivy League School" of the Chinese people is the same as the "Ten Scenic Diseases" mentioned by Mr. Lu Xun: if you think that the Ten Scenic Spots of the West Lake are not enough to make money, you will get a new Ten Scenic Spots of the West Lake Dogtail Mink. The new Ivy League schools are real strength, and the reasons for the evaluation are also very good:

When defining the circle of "Ivy League schools", there was an unspoken rule, that is, only private universities were allowed to be shortlisted, and none of the eight prestigious universities were national or state. However, good schools cannot all be private, especially after the concept of "Ivy League schools" gradually has the halo of "the best schools in the world", it is obviously inappropriate to exclude other schools from the circle of top universities just because of their official background. Therefore, there is a circle of 25 new alliance schools.

The grade of the University of Toronto is in this circle. In the North American university circle, the total number of citation factors of SCI papers every year has always remained in the top five.

Dozens of kilometers south of the University of Toronto, on the other side of Lake Ontario, there is another university, the State University of New York Buffalo campus, which is the alma mater of Baidu Boss Li.

……

After browsing the public information that he could find, Gu Mojie didn't dare to underestimate tomorrow's visitors, but he never made a breakthrough in figuring out the other party's intentions.

Gu Mojie washed his face, woke up, and decided to call up Hatsune Niang, and use Hatsune Niang's intelligent retrieval ability to help him search for more clues from the Internet.

He plugged his Samsung phone into the computer, then pressed his frame, activated Hatsune, and said, "Help me automatically filter all the public information available on the Internet about the latest academic trends at the University of Toronto." It's okay to have something to do with computers and network technology. ”

"Understood." Hatsune Niang simply agreed, and then Gu Mojie's notebook was like a strong Trojan horse, and the browser window crackled. After a while, it gradually quieted down, and hundreds of records were added to the favorites - of course, Hatsune Niang can also control Gu Mojie's notebook and open these links directly, but it is estimated that Gu Mojie's notebook performance cannot bear it and will explode.

"It's still too much, remove the hardware-related parts, and I'll only look at the core."

For example, after several rounds of screening under Gu Mojie's voice command, the results were accurate to within fifty pages, Gu Mojie browsed them one by one, and when he was about to fall asleep, a relatively secret dark web news attracted his attention.

The dark web cannot be accessed through a hyperlink, and it needs to be accessed through the dynamic web page technology to open it. To put it in layman's terms, this kind of web page can't be accessed by a few friends through guò on the post bar or QQ to "post a portal". If it weren't for Hatsune Niang's strong dynamic search ability, Gu Mojie would have to find some professionals to help him if he wanted to see this web page.

"The topic of artificial intelligence-related algorithms proposed by Professor Jeff Hinton has been preliminarily reviewed by the budget of the Canadian Institute for Advanced Projects, and if there are no accidents, it is expected that the first batch of funds will be approved within a month."

Professor Jeff Hinton's resume: Originally studied in the Department of Psychology at the University of Cambridge, received a doctorate in psychology, and has been engaged in the simulation of artificial neural networks on the operation of the human brain...... Since 1984, he has studied computer algorithms and applied mathematics concurrently, and later successfully developed the 'backpropagation algorithm neural network model'......"

The temple reckoner wins, Gu Mojie doesn't want to fight an unprepared battle. After reading all the pages, Gu Mojie did not find any other suspects at the University of Toronto who might be interested in him.

"Hatsune input method, what does it have to do with his research? Although the Hatsune input method also has a certain ability to learn and evolve itself, it has nothing to do with his research. It's a pity that I can't read his research, otherwise I would have found more answers. ”

Gu Mojie lay down in his clothes and meditated there, but he couldn't get anything, and soon fell into a deep sleep, not even turning off the lamp.

Early the next morning, at three o'clock in the morning, Gu Mojie was woken up by Zhou Lixin's phone ringing.

The two Canadians were going to visit him at the company and had already made an appointment.

Gu Mojie glanced at the watch that Fei Liluo had just bought for him in Hong Kong, and remembered that he slept in his clothes without taking a shower when he came back from the trip last night, so he hurriedly took a shower and cleaned up his image.

Then he called Feliro and asked her to go to the company too; While taking out the Armani suit that had not been opened, he put it on.

Gu Mojie, who hardly wore a suit, soon faced a big problem, and had to knock on his mother's bedroom door and ask probely: "Mom, do you know how to wear a tie?" (To be continued.) )
