Chapter 59: It's Not Just an Input Method

Principal Zhu Jingwu has been upset lately.

Because his father-in-law, Professor Chern Shiingshen, is 93 years old and too sick to get out of bed, he has been lying in the main hospital of Tianjin Medical University in the mainland since the beginning of the year.

Zhu Jingwu's wife, Chen Pu, is the only daughter of her father-in-law, so she naturally has to return to China to visit often; The father-in-law has no children, and when many of his father-in-law's protégés and former officials return to China to visit, they naturally ask Zhu Jingwu to come forward to receive and take care of them, and do his best to be a landlord, so that he also runs between the inland and the port market, which is cumbersome, and the school affairs are delayed a lot.

Professor Chern Shiingshen was the first master of mathematics independently cultivated in China in 1934, and he obtained a master's degree in mathematics at Tsinghua University, which was the first time in the history of Tsinghua University that a master's degree student graduated from the Department of Mathematics. Later, he was a master of mathematics for more than ten years, and his qualifications were slightly deeper than Hua Luogeng's, but one went to the United States and the other stayed in China.

Later, the old professor has been overseas and has been the vice president of the Mathematical Society of the United States, and has been studying for 30 years. It was not until the year of Chief Deng's military parade and the further opening of the country that the old professor was personally invited by Chief Deng to return to Nankai University as the director of the Institute of Mathematics, so the last 20 years of his life can be regarded as a return to the roots, and now he is also living in the hospital in Tianjin after falling ill.

Zhu Jingwu sat in his office, crackling at the laptop in front of him. If someone peeps in his office at this moment, they can be surprised to find that Zhu Jingwu is actually chatting with MSN.

Zhu Jingwu can be a giant in the physics world, the principal of a famous school, and his receptivity must be very strong, but it is still surprising that an old man who is nearly sixty years old can use a tool like MSN to chat. In 04, the Internet chat tool was not popular enough for everyone to use in later generations.

Other professors in the school who have been in contact with the principal a lot have the impression that the principal is quite supportive of using the new tool of email. But MSN hardly uses it.

Zhu Jingwu really didn't use it much before, because he was old, he typed slowly, and on the other hand, he didn't like to face the chat window. If there is something, even if it is relatives and friends overseas who want to contact, he is not in a hurry. Then email; Urgently, then go straight to the transatlantic phone.

The reason why I have switched to chatting in the past few days is that there are too many calls from some of my father-in-law's protégés, and when talking about that kind of heavy topic, Zhu Jingwu always needs to brew a sad tone of emotion, and he is naturally very tired after a long time.

It's not that he's unfilial, it's just that after all, as a person who knows first-hand information about his condition every day, it's unlikely that he will always maintain a rich relationship, otherwise he would have forced himself into a nervous breakdown. And the Chinese people, especially the overseas Chinese. and respect for teachers and traditions, when you talk about such a heavy topic, you don't have any emotions at all, and people still don't have your heart and lungs.

Pretend to be sad and tired, then don't call, just chat. Anyway, a group of old men chatted and couldn't flirt, who knows what kind of emotions the typing person is.

Zhu Jingwu's MSN chat window jumped again; I'm chatting with him right now. is Qiu Chengtong, the most proud disciple in his father-in-law's life, and Zhu Jingwu should call the other party a junior brother.

How "proud" Academician Qiu Chengtong is. There is no need to explain, one sentence can explain the problem - he is the only Chinese on the earth who has won the Fields Medal, regardless of nationality. (Note: Australian-Chinese Tao Zhexuan later got Fields, but it was in 2006, at the point in time in the book, Qiu was still the only one.) )

The Nobel Prize does not have a prize in mathematics. Therefore, the gold content of the Fields Medal is the Nobel Prize in mathematics; And this product is not awarded every year like the Nobel Prize, it takes four years to be awarded, and the scarcity is still above the Nobel Prize.

Qiu Chengtong and Zhu Jingwu chatted for a while about the illness of their mentor/father-in-law, and discussed the timing of Qiu's return to China to visit. Qiu Chengtong suddenly said: "Why are you typing so fast?" Is it me, is it called a secretary? ”

Zhu Jingwu was stunned for a moment, and didn't react to why his junior brother said this, and immediately understood: He has always typed very slowly, which Qiu Chengtong knows; So today, he suddenly chatted faster, and Qiu Chengtong also misunderstood whether he brought his secretary to sit in front of the computer, and he dictated it himself and asked the secretary to call.

This kind of private chat, if the secretary intervenes, is undoubtedly very rude. Although Qiu Chengtong just asked casually, Zhu Jingwu still explained: "It's just a different input method, there are more people to chat and deal with in the past two days, my brother-in-law taught me, saying that the young people in their laboratory are using this, and typing is several times faster." ”

Of course, the brother-in-law in Zhu Jingwu's mouth is not his brother-in-law, his father-in-law only has an only daughter and no children. Zhu Jingwu is talking about Professor Chen Renfeng of the university, who is his wife's cousin. When he was in the United States, Chen Renfeng was Zhu Jingwu's right-hand man at the Texas Superconductivity Center, Zhu Jingwu returned to Hong Kong as the principal, and Chen Renfeng naturally came back to join his cousin-in-law, get a tie tube, and get a few laboratories.

"What's your name? Can you also use orthographic characters? ”

"Hatsune input method. can be used,An input method can be typed out at the same time in the regular text simplified Chinese,It depends on your preference settings。 ”

"Hatsune input method? I seem to have heard of it, and some juniors around me have been using it recently, but I don't type much, so I don't pay attention. As soon as you say it, go and try it. Why is this thing typing fast? ”

"Choose the words accurately, you can choose the whole sentence and the whole sentence. And they also did the input spelling of Wechsler Pinyin, which is very suitable for people like us. ”

Webster Pinyin is a kind of Chinese Pinyin with a longer history than the currently used Chinese Pinyin, and the pronunciation of each vowel is closer to the phonetic transcription of English; Therefore, if the domestic people use Wechsler Pinyin, it will be a little uncomfortable, but if the English is more solid, and even the native English Chinese and Chinese use it, it will feel more cordial and fast.

The screen was silent for a long time, and I didn't type it again, and after a minute or two, a sentence popped up: "I have a few friends who are engaged in algorithm research, and it seems to be paying attention to this input method, and I heard that there is also a translation software, which also came out together." This thing seems to be not only accurate, but will become more and more accurate, can the current software learn and evolve by itself? ”

Zhu Jingwu is engaged in physics and has no research on mathematics, so naturally he can't answer Qiu Chengtong's question, but he ends the topic ambiguously.

Qiu Chengtong himself is a student of mathematics and physics, and the achievement he won the Fields Medal in his early years was used to solve some problems in the string theory of physics. String theory is claimed after the theory of relativity and quantum mechanics. In the second half of the 20th century, the largest new theoretical system of mankind, Qiu Chengtong was able to dabble in this area, which is naturally extraordinary.

It's just that now that he is old, he has withdrawn from front-line scientific research, just to mention the younger generations. Pull up the back, and look for a new direction by the way. Although Qiu Chengtong himself doesn't pay much attention to computers or artificial intelligence, it doesn't mean that he doesn't know anything, let alone that he doesn't have friends in the industry in this area. Those who are engaged in mathematics have reached a certain level, and those who can do anything can understand everything in five minutes.

chatted with Zhu Jingwu for a while. Qiu Chengtong set a schedule to return to China to visit his teacher, and ended the chat. On a whim, Qiu Chengtong, a mathematician, had a temperamental attack, took out his phone book, and called an amateur mathematician in a circle he knew to consult his views on this aspect.

"Hello? Jeff, recently I found an input method that Chinese write...... Yes, it is the input method; The features are certainly nothing out of the ordinary. But I tried it and read the feedback from some people around me. This thing seems to be getting more and more accurate. It's similar to the outlook for the review you talked to me about last year. So let's ask, did you pay attention to that thing? What the? Because you don't use Chinese. So didn't notice? Then you'd better pay attention, I guess it will be useful to you. ”

……

Gu Mojie and the three of them played for a long time at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, and when they came back, they met with Fei Liluo and a few sweeping girls. Gu Mojie himself didn't think that he had done anything, it was nothing more than getting acquainted with a few new friends.

Lu Wenjun has a full set of decent outfits, go back to the hotel in the evening to change, and the next two days of the journey will be very beautiful. Take a good look at the famous places in Hong Kong and Macau. It's a pity that Hong Kong in 04 hasn't built Disney yet, otherwise they could have delayed for two more days.

On the last day, when it was time to return to China, Gu Mojie took his affairs seriously and accompanied him for another day of shopping. The electronic products that should be bought have been refurbished, and Gu Mojie himself also bought a new Samsung CDMA mobile phone, eliminating the SCH-319 from a year and a half ago. He needs to use the CDMA mobile phone as a connection channel between Hatsune Musume and the computer, and sometimes he has to use the mobile phone to help Hatsune Musume access the Internet, so the money for this thing can't be saved, and if you can optimize some performance, you can optimize it more. Some of the latest models are not that Gu Mojie has to save money and buy them outside, but there is no latest one in China.

As for the network access license and MEID problem of the Hong Kong version machine, Gu Mojie has his own way to solve it when he returns to China.

Gu Mojie bought some electronic products, and finally bought a watch under the pull of Feliluo, which he would wear on business occasions in the future; The rest of the time is to accompany Lu Wenjun and them to visit the jewelry store.

Gu Mojie paid 150,000 yuan and bought a three-carat diamond ring with eight arrows and eight stars for Lu Wenjun, I have to say that the diamonds in 04 are really cheap, and the 1-carat eight-star and eight-arrow in the Hong Kong market, the top color, is only 24,000, and after ten years, the price will at least triple.

The things given to Fei Liluo had to be low-key, nothing more than bracelets and other items, although Gu Mojie did not spare money, and the cost was not under Lu Wenjun, it was not easy to show his whereabouts. In his heart, he may feel that spending a little more money on Feliro can make up for a little bit of indebtedness.

The days of relaxation are always fast, but Gu Mojie didn't know that while he was enjoying his vacation, someone who was interested in him was about to come to his door in China. (To be continued.) )

PS: Several people shouted in the book review area, saying that they don't want emotional drama. It is also said that emotional drama is equal to the word water.

I want to give an example from the industry: the same technical article, Navel Orange's "Industrial Overlord", was ordered by 3,000 at the time, and it was really shriveled up in terms of feelings, pure technology, enough to be worthy of technical readers. Later, "The Empire of Materials" was 8,000 equal orders, and the collection range of the two books was four times different.

Urban text, in order not to be too narrow, there are some things that can't be helped.

If you feel like you can read a lot of books, pick some, it doesn't matter. If your vision has become so niche that you are forced to run out of books, and you are still like this, it can only be said that you are forcing your path narrower and narrower.

But anyway, I'm going to humbly accept it once today and see the results. In the next few days, real business wars, technologies, strategies, layouts, and dry goods.

I just look at the subscription. If it doesn't get better at all, then I can only say that the people who denounce emotional dramas don't represent the majority.

I can't make it for a few people.

If you want to order, please first prove that you are mainstream with data.
