Chapter 357: Teacher Luo's Letter [Medium]
"For a future that I can't predict, it's impossible for me to leave this risk to my own country, so I want to move this potentially risky research abroad.
It's not that I'm deliberately trying to pass on the risk to foreigners, but I hope that this research can involve people from all over the world, and that what I can't solve, maybe scientists in other countries can solve.
It would be best if we could work together to advance the substantive progress of artificial intelligence by cooperating with the world.
However, the state did not want me to do this, even if this research may bring great risks, and the leaders of the relevant departments strictly demanded that I should not leak any information, and even not allow me to publish any papers in the World Scientific Research Forum, and my freedom of speech was greatly restricted, and even they blocked many of my Internet IDs, making me completely 'deaf and dumb'.
Later, for some reason, a big leader told me that I could secretly sell some of my research materials abroad in private, so that I could earn some foreign exchange to supplement scientific research funds, and on the other hand, it would not violate the laws of the country.
Although I don't agree with the leader's idea, but, in order to achieve my wishes, I still sorted out part of the information into the U disk, and then handed it over to the relevant departments for review, after they audited, they returned the U disk to me, although I have not opened the U disk, but, I know, they must have done something, maybe it was tampered with the content of the data, or maybe it was modified to a certain extent.
They marked the USB stick, and if I checked the contents privately, they would have found it.
Each USB stick is specially marked so that they will know if it is tampered with.
In order not to arouse their suspicions, I asked you to secretly transfer these USB flash drives to those personnel of foreign forces.
And this move is all under the monitoring of the state. ”
When Ji Ran saw this, he couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine, it turned out that all this was an organizational arrangement, and Teacher Luo was just acting according to the orders of the organization.
"Although I don't know how much of the information in the USB flash drive has been changed, I seem to be able to guess that it must be the country's military industrial unit, which removed the useful parts of those materials, and then mixed some other materials into it, combined with the fake paper published by the Academy of Engineering under my name on the scientific forum, it can be a good paralysis and confusion of those foreign scientific research institutions.
The fake paper was written to such a high level that it would have been almost impossible to see if it weren't for the top experts in the field.
It just so happens that foreign research in this area is not as good as ours, and the neural network system of artificial intelligence mentioned in the paper is also a project that foreign countries are very concerned about.
Therefore, as soon as the fake paper was published abroad, it unsurprisingly set off an uproar.
I thought that this fake paper would be debunked by domestic experts, however, the result was much beyond my expectations, not only was it not debunked, but the support continued, no one expressed any objections, and no one came out to question it, but I won the National Science and Technology Progress Award for it.
I didn't write a single word, but I received such an honor.
I don't know if it's an honor or an irony.
Of course, as a Chinese, I have no reason to question my country, nor do I have any reason to disobey the leadership of the country and the will of the people.
Originally, I thought that as long as I followed the instructions of the organization, I could complete the task smoothly and continue my research.
However, things are not as simple as I thought, I have contributed to the country for 20 years, and I have silently paid almost all my efforts for the organization, but in the end, I ended up as a prisoner.
The organization characterized me as selling state secrets, a crime that could have sentenced me to death, but perhaps they still had a little conscience and finally commuted my death sentence to a suspended sentence and allowed me to be released on medical parole on a special case.
I don't know whether to thank the organization for its magnanimity or to feel pathetic about my life.
Scold...
I'm all dying, and this ending doesn't make much difference to me.
Perhaps, the organization has already thought about it, so that I, a bad old man who has contributed to scientific research all my life, will also exert a little residual heat before I die and make the last contribution to the country.
Okay, let's talk about something happy.
Knowing you is a great blessing in my life, you are very similar to a girl I liked in college, her name is Jiang Shan, she was the same as you in college, she was a girl who loved everyone, very beautiful, big eyes, with two cute ponytails, girls at that time liked that kind of hairstyle, it seems very rustic now, but it was very fashionable in that era.
When I saw you for the first time in my freshman year, I couldn't help but think back to my college days, and it seemed to make me much younger all of a sudden.
It's just that at that time, you were always dressed as a boy, and I was very curious, why did a little girl dress like a boy, and then I heard some rumors about you, saying that you were a boy since you were a child, and then you had some sex reassignment surgery to become a girl.
Of course, I don't have the boredom to gossip about a girl's past, and at the same time, I don't believe that a boy who has undergone surgery will become a beautiful girl.
I believe you are a natural girl, a lively and cheerful beautiful girl.
By the time you were a freshman, I was already leading my team, and every day was busy and tiring, immersed in the lab every day.
Sometimes when I am tired, I don't even go home, and I eat and live in the laboratory.
For a while, I was sloppy, sloppy and unpresentable, I didn't shave for more than ten days, and my beard was curled, can you imagine the level of sloppiness?
Later, there was a girl who told me privately that she couldn't stand my sloppiness and hoped that I could correct it, although I agreed, but still didn't change it, and the girl actually left my team because of this incident, and never entered the laboratory again.
That incident touched me a lot, I didn't expect that a small detail in life would have such a big effect, and it would make a girl unbearable.
So, since then, I have been insisting on washing my face every day, shaving every day, and cleaning the lab every day to be spotless.
Not only in the laboratory, but also at home, no matter whether there is anyone or not, whether it is a weekend or a weekday, no matter how tired and hard it is, I must insist on good hygiene.
Sure enough, this has a great effect on my work, the hygiene is better, the people have become more energetic, and when I am engaged in research, I can better devote myself to it, and it also increases the cohesion between the team..."
Ji Ran looked at the experience told in Mr. Luo's letter, and couldn't help but smile, Mr. Luo had never said these words before, she didn't expect that Mr. Luo, who was quiet on weekdays, would talk about so many details of life in the letter.
He spoke so carefully and truthfully, in addition to wanting to confide in himself, it seems that he also wants to use his last time to leave a little more memories for himself, right?
