Professor Shi is a graduate supervisor of environmental engineering, has published many professional papers, and has been elected as an academician of the National Academy of Engineering.

People who study science have a temperament that can be seen at a glance, and Professor Shi is no exception.

His hair is all white, and when he doesn't move, he feels dazed, as if he is thinking about a problem anytime and anywhere.

The development of science and technology is inevitably accompanied by social progress and pollution, and at the same time, there are also scientific pollution control technologies being born.

A few days ago, there was a relatively professional paper on new ideas for pollution control, and after he read it, he sent it to several of his students, asking them to sort out some ideas for future discussion.

"Professor, I just used an intelligent translation software to translate the paper you sent me, and I can't find the wrong place for the time being, can you go to the mailbox and take a look?" Zhou Xinyu ran out of breath.

"Smart Translation?" Professor Shi was stunned.

People who believe in science must believe in the benefits of artificial intelligence, but it's a bit early, right? At present, the translation software on the market, let alone the translation of papers, even daily language sometimes messes up the logic, and there are often sick sentences.

"I'll see." He turned on the computer, clicked on the mailbox, and looked at it seriously.

"Huh? Is this AI-translated? ”

Professor Shi was a little surprised in his heart, and did not question it directly, because he had never seen it.

After settling down, he continued to look down and found that the translated paper was extremely neatly worded, coherent from top to bottom, and the logical relationship was very clear, and there were no errors.

It stands to reason that a paper of this quality should be made by a professional translator who also understands environmental science.

To put it bluntly, let him translate, without the error of professional vocabulary, it will not be able to translate so neatly.

After reading the whole article for some time, Professor Shi turned his head and asked with a hint of doubt: "Xinyu, this is translated by artificial intelligence?" Don't lie to me, I'm sure software translation will get to this point sooner or later, but it's too early. ”

"It's true, Professor! I use Andromeda Smart Translation from Neutron Star Technology, and I guarantee that it has not been modified. Zhou Xinyu hurriedly explained.

"So?" Professor Shi nodded, if it was a lie that could be broken at the first poke, his students would never be able to swear so much.

"Open the software and I'll see."

"Okay." Zhou Xinyu immediately picked up the mouse and began to download the translation software.

"To log in, you need an account on the official website of Neutron Star Technology or a Weibo account of Pan Entertainment Group."

She remembers that Professor Shi registered a Weibo account last time, passed the expert certification, and answered a lot of environmental science-related knowledge for free in the paid Q&A area.

The software opened, Professor Shi did not speak, and began to log in to Weibo to experiment with this intelligent translation.

After opening the monthly subscription, he casually flipped out many of the translated papers in the mailbox and pasted them in the input box.

In an instant, the desired answer is presented in front of you, and after reading it carefully, you will find that the translation is impeccable.

Professor Shi was really shocked by the results this time, artificial intelligence has been deeply cultivated by neutron stars to this point?

"Although I have long been ready to accept the arrival of the era of artificial intelligence, I can't help but be surprised that there are really results in front of me!" Professor Shi sighed, followed by some joy.

"Neutron Star Technology is really amazing, and in the future, graduate students will not have to worry about translating papers to go to the dictionary, and a lot of time saved can either rest or directly invest in scientific research."

As he spoke, he took out his phone and wanted to tell everyone the good news.

......

Intelligent translation software is dispensable in the eyes of many people, because many people will never deal with foreign Chinese in their lives, and there is no need to download translation software.

However, in the eyes of major universities, laboratories, enterprises with a large number of foreign cooperation, translators, etc., the emergence of intelligent translation is no less than a magnitude 10 earthquake.

This software allows scientific researchers, students, and companies to save a lot of translation time and greatly improve efficiency.

In the eyes of the translators, this is bad news.

After trying to translate all kinds of papers, books, and important documents, there is no need for humans to do it, because machines do it better than people.

In this case, why bother hiring a translator?

Within a few days, after repeated testing, some companies made a decision to leave a few of the most capable translators to prevent errors in intelligent translation, and all the rest of the translators were fired.

Some people have not even reacted before they receive a notice of dismissal.

Neutron Star Technology Group's use of intelligence comes with good name and notoriety.

......

Zhou Xinyu's teacher, Professor Shi, made a few phone calls and informed not only the whole school of the powerful function of intelligent translation, but also the Chinese Academy of Engineering.

The Chinese Academy of Sciences does not need to be notified, because a small number of scientists in the academy are frequent visitors to scientific forums and often give some scientific insights there, and they are the first to discover this translation software.

At this time, in a laboratory studying communication technology, more than a dozen researchers in white coats let out a cry of admiration.

"Accurate!"

"That's amazing, how the hell is this done?"

"Academician Wang, didn't Zhong Zixing, the founder of Neutron Star Technology, learn mathematics from you? Don't you ask? ”

Known as Academician Wang, she is a middle-aged woman with glasses, short hair, and a gentle smile, and she is a math guru who mainly studies cryptography.

"Do you want me to ask about other people's trade secrets?" Academician Wang rolled his eyes and took out a journal, which was "Truth".

"Go to the official website of Neutron Star Technology and translate the theory of solar communication into English!"

Many scientific theories coexist in Chinese and English, and even some professional terms do not have a clear title, and can only be replaced by symbols, which need to be verified between Chinese and English.

However, there is no English version of Neutron Star Technology's "Truth", and many words used by Sun Communication cannot be proved in combination with English, which greatly prolongs the verification time.

"Most of them can be translated, but the most critical part can't be translated, and the explanation given by the translation software Andromeda is that this English word does not exist in the thesaurus!"

"It's really hard to be human, and without some experience in linguistics and other scientists, it's very difficult to create a new specialized vocabulary that has to be extracted before it can be translated." A gray-haired scientist said with a headache.

But it's not like two words combined with each other to make people identify with and record the existence of this new word.

"However, this is also a good thing, in the future, people who can't speak English can have a translator to communicate academically with foreigners."

"It's nothing if you can't translate, this software is already very powerful." Academician Wang said that she is not only a math expert, but also has discussed sociological issues with others.

"As for translators, I don't think it's going to be that easy to popularize on a large scale."

Because leaps and bounds in technology sometimes only benefit some people, such as scientists, the social upheaval may be greater than the benefits.
