Chapter 129: Honorary Doctor

With Qin Chu finalized the framework for the promotion of customized brainwave games, Duke threw this matter to Dong Feng and Zhao Jianwu, most of the program has been completed, and Duke has neither the time nor the good at the details such as the specific implementation of the promotion and the final polishing and debugging of the program.

Just when Duke thought that the matter was almost done and was about to take Zhao Jianbo to fly to the United States. Someone came to the door again.

"Hello, Dr. Duke, I'm Yuankai Tang from the Artificial Intelligence Laboratory at HKUST. I take the liberty to come and bother today. It is because it was commissioned by Professor Liu Zhiguo of the school. "The visitor politely introduced his intentions. This is a middle-aged man with a gentle demeanor. After speaking, he handed his business card to Duke with both hands.

"Principal Liu Zhiguo?" As a famous academician of the Academy of Sciences who researches artificial intelligence, although Liu Zhiguo is only the vice president of the University of Science and Technology, he has always been a master of his word in the school. So when he heard this name, Duke was still a little excited, but he didn't expect that he would now be in the eyes of such a big man.

Duke is still arrogant about this, and now Duke does not realize that he is already a very influential heavyweight expert in the fields of artificial intelligence, speech recognition and robotics.

Each of his published papers can be called a major breakthrough discovery, and he has been regarded as a world-class expert by academic professionals in these fields. It's just that Duke hasn't adapted to his identity change yet.

After all, the time for this change is too short, Duke himself basically did not pay much attention to it, and he never attended some international conference invitations from the academic community, otherwise Duke would have understood that he was actually a hot star in the academic world.

"Yes, President Liu himself is very much looking forward to cooperating with you in scientific research." Although the gentle middle-aged man in front of him is also a professor at the University of Science and Technology, Tang Yuankai has no shelf of a professor in the face of Duke, although the young man in front of him has just graduated from the University of Science and Technology a year ago.

Because Tang Yuankai had also carefully studied Duke's papers, it was fair for him to think that he would never be able to produce such a breakthrough academic achievement in his lifetime. In this industry, although seniority is very serious, it is when everyone has achieved similar results, and there are really outstanding academic achievements, and everything is completely different.

For those who truly have world-class results, that's what they do. For example, Duke, although he has not yet graduated with a Ph.D., but with his current academic achievements, any university in the world will open its doors to Duke.

Compared with Tang Yuankai, a professor who is basically half of his qualifications and half of his connections, he really doesn't have half the capital that he can be proud of in front of Duke.

Just like Director Pi and Director Lin disregard their image in the face of Duke's hundreds of millions of investments.

"Professor Tang, I think you know very well that I am still studying at MIT in the United States, and I have a lot of mundane things, so I can't find time to participate in this joint research." After the initial surprise, Duke came to his senses and politely declined Tang Yuankai's invitation.

"Hehe, Dr. Duke, don't worry about this time issue, President Liu said that this project is actually coordinated by Director Wang Guosheng of the United States, and everyone is working around the research and development of the lunar rover." Tang Yuankai didn't care about Duke's attitude at all, and smiled and pulled out the truth behind the scenes.

It turned out to be the case, and Duke suddenly realized. Through the cooperation of schools, some things can be transmitted from the network encryption by Duke in the name of the word.

School cooperation projects, this sensitivity is relatively low. What's more, Duke was originally from this school, and it is normal for them to have some academic connections with each other.

In this way, there is no need for Duke to go to China as soon as there is anything, this Wang Guosheng thinks well, and he uses the signboard of the University of Science and Technology very easily, which shows the ability behind it.

Seeing that Duke understood, Tang Yuankai knew that there was basically no problem with this matter, and he was the person in charge of contacting and coordinating this matter.

In this national key project, although the main achievements cannot be signed by him, even some marginal achievements are enough to support him to reach a higher level in academics.

What's more, being able to take charge of this topic is itself an extremely important role in the accumulation and improvement of his academic qualifications.

"President Liu also said that in view of Dr. Duke's major academic breakthrough and important academic talent coming out of our university, he specially proposed that the academic committee of the university confer an honorary doctorate degree on Dr. Duke, specially hired as a visiting professor, and asked Dr. Duke to take time to complete the doctoral degree conferment ceremony."

Duke is so moving in terms of academic achievements that it is impossible for people at HKUST to watch without a little movement, and people in their right thinking will find a way to get in touch with Duke, a rising academic star, which is a heavyweight highlight achievement in terms of school publicity and score reporting.

Moreover, HKUST is also Duke's alma mater, and the honor of an honorary doctorate, coupled with the appointment of a visiting professor, shows the advantages and sincerity of HKUST in this regard.

Speaking of which, the University of Science and Technology is moving so fast, most likely it is Wang Guosheng's side that is adding fuel to the fire, otherwise how could the University of Science and Technology know Duke's whereabouts so well.

After hearing Tang Yuankai's news, Duke was stunned.

When will buddies also be able to enjoy the honors that only top celebrities and industry experts such as honorary doctorates and visiting professors deserve?

This one was so sudden. So when Tang Yuankai said this, Duke couldn't react for a while, isn't this kind of honor generally given to those gray-haired old professors or social activists?

"There's no problem with cooperation, but there's no need for this honorary doctorate or something." Duke flatly refused, and to be honest, he was really not used to being picked up.

"Dr. Duke, please consider this, after all, you are also from HKUST, and conferring this honorary doctorate is not only a good thing for you, but also a great help for the university to enhance its image. Presumably, Dr. Duke doesn't mind making a small contribution to his alma mater. Tang Yuankai saw that Duke actually rejected such a good thing, and he couldn't help but follow the temptation.

The cooperation was negotiated, and this honorary doctor unexpectedly collapsed and reached the ears of the school leaders, which is a lack of work, and how can the self-motivated Professor Tang give up easily.

Therefore, although Duke repeatedly refused, Professor Tang still patiently moved with emotion and reason, and worked hard for more than ten minutes to do Duke's work, just like Tang Seng in the Journey to the West, and finally Duke had to accept it.

There is no way, Professor Tang keeps proposing to do what he can for his alma mater, but Duke is really not this kind of feeling.

It can be seen that the school still fully considered dealing with various emergencies when considering candidates, and sent a delicate person who was qualified enough to play the role of political commissar to do this.

It's just that most of the time I think about the difficulty of cooperation, but I didn't expect that in terms of cooperative research, after Duke heard about the shadow behind Wang Guosheng, he agreed without saying a word, but almost got out of the basket in terms of awarding this honor.

When this incident came out, Duke had to return to his alma mater like a puppet to participate in a grand honorary doctorate awarding ceremony specially held for him, and cooperated with a series of activities such as reporter interviews organized by the university and communication and cooperation with the artificial intelligence laboratory of HKUST, and it took almost a day to settle the matter.

Things had progressed to this point, and Duke felt that he could no longer play alone.

Therefore, for this research project of HKUST, Duke asked HKUST for two assistant places, and Duke can provide the core technology, but the daily coordination, general research and development and other specific affairs. Duke is responsible for these two newly transferred doctors, otherwise Duke would not be able to cope with so many things in the United States.

The more tasks he undertook, the more Duke realized the importance of division of labor and collaboration, and under the pressure of so much research work, a hazy idea was born. Thinking of the famous Bell Labs, Duke came up with the idea of building a Duke lab in the United States and China.

Now, if someone is interested in studying Duke's journey carefully, there are too many flaws exposed, and simply put, the research that Duke has completed in the past year is not at all like what a "person" can do.

Speech recognition software, game development, robot artificial intelligence pathfinding, brainwave product improvement, almost every breakthrough achievement, although each seems to be done by teamwork, but in fact the core part is related to Duke.

How can a person have so much energy to accomplish such an achievement. Looking at the scientific geniuses of the past, there is basically no precedent. Therefore, although Duke can cope with the research, it is too eye-catching.

The establishment of a laboratory can not only share some of the very specific work on the one hand, but also play a role in concealing people's eyes and ears on the other hand. The momentum is strong, but considering the huge amount of money required for that huge deuterium refining program, these things are just a drop in the bucket right now.

Duke still needs to come up with more things and make more money on top of his current situation before he has a chance to complete that crazy plan within the time agreed with Clem. With Duke's current strength, there is still a hundred and eight thousand miles away from the realization of that plan.

It's just that with this solid foundation, Duke can no longer fight alone, but has the ability to find a group of capable talents to accelerate together.

(The increase in the collection is gratifying, and the addition of 14 today is completed)
