After doing everything, Qiao Ze sat quietly in front of Li Jiangao's computer, entered the submission system and began to retract the manuscript.

This is the most outrageous aspect of the rules of those well-known journals.

As long as the manuscript is submitted, the author needs to send a request for retraction even if he wants to retract the manuscript before the journal editorial department decides whether to publish it.

Before the journal's editorial office agrees to the author's application, the paper cannot theoretically be directly published in similar journals.

The consequences of violating the rules must be retracted or blocked by these journals.

Li Jiangao sat behind Qiao Ze and watched silently, without opening his mouth to persuade.

His mind was in a mess at this point.

The content of Qiao Ze's reply to the journal's editorial office was still echoing in his mind.

Thank you to the reviewers of the journal for giving him this opportunity to be more confident?

Li Jiangao can't wait to pry open Qiao Ze's little head to see what is going on inside?!

It wasn't until Qiao Ze finished all this and looked at him sitting on the side that Li Jiangao recovered from the shock caused by the email just now.

Glancing at each other silently, Li Jiangao asked tentatively, "You don't plan to publish this paper?" ”

Qiao Ze shook his head and said, "Hair, but we can wait until we make the results before sending them together." ”

"This ...... Qiao Ze, but the manuscript of the paper has been ......"

Before Li Jiangao finished speaking, the phone on the table suddenly rang.

glanced at it, and the three words of Dean Xu on it still made him decide to answer the phone first.

"Hey, Jiangao, where are you?"

"Is there anything you do in the office?"

"Still in the office on the weekend? Sure enough, it's an excellent young professor in the academy, so you wait for me, I'll come over in about ten minutes. ”

"Okay, Dean Xu, Qiao Ze is also here with me."

"Eh, that's right, that's it, wait for me, yes, it's a good thing!"

As soon as the voice fell, the other side hung up the phone directly.

Li Jiangao looked at Qiao Ze, what did he want to say just now?

As a result, I was stunned again.

Because José started to operate on the computer again.

Li Jiangao silently watched Qiao Ze intercept a function from the theorem of the main argument, specify a specific interval, and then take out the values of the variable and the independent variable, convert the ASCll value, and soon get a line of statement.

“This paper was pleted in collaboration with LiJiangao and QiaoZe.”

Li Jiangao subconsciously swallowed his saliva.

The paper that was completed in eight hours was all dry goods, not to mention, why did you stuff this stuff into it?

"This ......" Li Jiangao pointed to the computer, not knowing how to evaluate it for a while.

After all, he had never heard of anyone who could send papers and carry private goods like this.

Really good at playing!

"After you told me the other day that some academics in this world are very shameless, I thought of this method. There are six places in the same watermark paper. So I'd like to see what you said the other day, and it's best to get it to the best journal and spark a lot of discussion. Qiao Ze said calmly.

Li Jiangao subconsciously swallowed his saliva, and had an epiphany, Qiao Ze's eight hours and his eight hours are not the same concept at all.

After calming down a little, Li Jiangao looked at Qiao Ze and said, "So you didn't plan to follow those conventional rules in the first place, right?" ”

Qiao Ze replied seriously: "Uncle Li, haven't you seen clearly that the leaders in the industry you said only abide by the rules that are beneficial to them?" ”

Li Jiangao was stunned, how to say it, the truth has always been this truth, but ......

"But they have the right to speak."

"No, Uncle Li, it has never been them who have the right to speak, but countless people all over the world. Most people just didn't know about these things before. It's reassuring to know that now with the Internet, everything should be done in the open, so that everyone can watch and judge what they do in the sun. So in your opinion, the so-called right to speak is actually worthless. ”

"You will have no friends like this, and even the whole world will be your enemy!"

"I didn't have a friend before, and I was alive and well. As for the whole world is the enemy...... Uncle Li, you think too highly of those people. A bunch of fools don't represent the whole world. What if those fools could really represent the whole world? It's good that we're happy! ”

Qiao Ze said calmly.

There was no hint of madness in his eyes, as if he was elaborating on a trivial matter.

But the words that came out were so crazy that they exceeded the limits of Li Jiangao's imagination.

He finally understood why Qiao Ze had said in the reply letter that he had always lacked confidence, and that this incident had given him a chance.

This kid is trying to convince him to go crazy with him!

The terrible thing is that Li Jiangao faintly felt that he was really moved.

Oh, yes......

It's okay for them to be tied hand and foot and play under other people's rules, and when people want to disobey the rules, they can always ignore the rules as if they were nothing, and they can only compromise.

This is not how the world should be.

The only thing Li Jiangao feels fortunate about now is that he is the corresponding author of this paper.

It's not that he has a lot of ideas in the academic interface, the main thing is that he is backed by Xilin University of Technology, and with the endorsement of the school, even if he really has any ideas about the thesis, he will not use too many means. At least there is no way that the whole paper will be plagiarized. It won't get out of hand.

But it was clear that Qiao Ze was not so clear about these rules, and added calmly: "Anyway, if everyone follows the rules, then I can follow the rules too." But if someone doesn't follow the rules first, it's better to just break the rules. Sticking to the old rules can never and should never be a compliment, Uncle Lee. ”

Li Jiangao looked at Qiao Ze, his lips trembling a little.

At this time, the young man actually had a double shadow with his former doctoral supervisor at this moment.

Yes, Li Jiangao felt that the status of the two seemed to be reversed.

He's not a mentor, José is.

"That ......"

"Whew...... Hey, you're all here, that's good. Joze, I've heard about some of your recent performances, and they've been pretty good! ”

Without knocking on the door, Xu Dajiang, who broke into the office directly, interrupted this special conversation.

Qiao Ze casually operated the mouse and turned off the interface on the computer about the paper.

Then he looked at Xu Dajiang, a little confused.

He really didn't know what he had done lately to fall into the eyes of this boring dean's uncle.

The first impression is so ingrained.

Since the banner that Xu Dajiang made out when he first met, Qiao Ze decided that the dean was very idle on weekdays.

Today's statement confirms this once again.

The next sentence confirms this even more.

"That, Jiangao, you see that Qiao Ze has been studying in high school before, and he is quite tired. Just like this, you discuss it, see what is fun in the country, you take Qiao Ze out for a round tomorrow, and you can spend a week at your disposal. Not counting your vacation, in addition, the college will give you an advance of 20,000 yuan, and you keep all the tickets for this trip and come back to reimburse you. ”

Xu Dajiang finished speaking magnificently, and then found that the two people on the other side didn't seem to react.

It shouldn't be......

It was a solution he had been thinking about all morning.

Paid vacations, this kind of good thing is not common, and he still bears a certain amount of pressure.

After all, when the other professors found out, they would definitely be unhappy. But it definitely works well.

Aren't you from Yanbei International Institute of Mathematics going to investigate?

I can arrange people out, anyway, it's not in Xilin, you can come to investigate.

He thought that the two of them would happily agree, but it seemed that neither of them was very interested in his proposal.

I'll go?

Are there any people who are really not interested in going out at public expense?

……

Well, in fact, Xu Dajiang came up with this idea a day earlier, and Li Jiangao might still feel quite happy.

After all, over the years of 3+3, the string in my brain has indeed collapsed very tightly.

I basically do projects during the winter and summer vacations.

But today's time is too unfortunate.

He had just been brainwashed by Qiao Ze, and at this time his mind was full of thinking about how to make a career, and his thoughts about travel were also light.

And for Joze, traveling is a very boring thing.

Traveling hundreds of kilometers, traveling and toiling, just to see the buildings that don't leave too many impressions in your mind, to eat the food that may not be to your taste, to see the people you may never meet again in your life?

It's purely full of leisure!

There is no poetry and distance in my extremely rational mind, and there is no impulse to see the world.

In Joze's opinion, this is a small wrecking ball, nothing to see.

Not to mention the level of basic science of human beings, it is not possible to build the whimsical ideas of those designers with big brains.

So everything that people can see is only a picture that is presented under the laws of physics.

Whether it is the splendor of the sunrise or the poignancy of the sunset.

Whether it is the clouds on the top of the mountain, or the magnificent waves of the river tide.

And so on, all of them just follow the laws of physics.

I can imagine it with my brain, but do I need to see it for myself?

So after seeing that Li Jiangao didn't say anything, Qiao Ze shook his head decisively and said, "I'm not interested." ”

"Hmm...... José, what are your concerns? ”

"No, I don't like to travel."

For the first time, Xu Dajiang felt that children had no hobbies, which was indeed not a good thing.

"Yes, Dean Xu, why don't you save this money and approve it for us to do the project?"

Xu Dajiang smiled bitterly: "If 20,000 is enough, then I will approve it immediately!" The point is that you might as well not take 20,000 yuan! Ay...... Can't we wait until October? I see if I can apply for a sum of money at the school again? ”

It's the truth.

Seeing that both of them were not interested in going on a trip, Xu Dajiang really wanted to hurry up and get a sum of money, sign a contract, and tie the two of them to school first.

But where there is a choice, who wants to bet on other people's moral bottom line?

Who can't adjust their bottom line flexibly these days?

The key is that the special fund pool for scientific research of the college is really not much money now.

He still squeezed out 20,000 yuan.

You can't deduct so many professors, lecturers, and administrators from their salaries, right?

When it comes to this, Li Jiangao can only be silent.

Instead, Qiao Ze replied: "It's okay, Uncle Li, we can do it ourselves." The 50,000 yuan you gave me last time was useless. ”

Li Jiangao smiled bitterly.

The 50,000 yuan can be used to write papers, but it can be used to land results......

As for Xu Dajiang, the whole person was stunned.

He really didn't expect Li Jiangao to personally give money to this kid to start a project.

Lose your marbles!

Both of them are crazy!

Didn't you Li Jiangao keep saying that you wanted Qiao Ze to experience the life of a normal college student?

Have you ever seen a first-year student who started taking money to do a project?

Besides, what is the purpose of doing the project in such a hurry?

Prove yourself and go to a higher platform?

began to drum in his heart, but when he spoke, Xu Dajiang's tone softened: "This, Jiangao, you pay for the project yourself...... Ay...... It's that I'm useless. But is there such a hurry? What project do you want to do? ”

Qiao Ze explained in place of Li Jiangao: "The final landing is an intelligent data model similar to chatGPT. Uncle Li's short-term goal and I are to bring causal models into intelligent data models like chatGPT through a theoretical group theory decoupling framework, and reduce the dependence of similar models on big data. The long-term goal is to design a set of mathematical theories to build an underlying platform for AI logic, and relevant digital technologies can be accessed on demand. ”

Xu Dajiang was stunned.

Come up and play such a big project?

Don't be so scary!

50,000 yuan? Just kidding, right?

This is 500 million, I'm afraid I can't stop it?

Ordinary people may not know how expensive ChatGPT is to land, but the academic community actually knows something.

After all, it's so hot right now!

The industry has long been clear about the accounts.

If you want to train a large model that can compete with ChatGPT, you need to invest about $1 billion a year in graphics cards, CPUs and other equipment.

This is only the investment in hardware, not all kinds of labor costs.

The most important thing is that this thing also needs to be supported by algorithms.

Since OpenAI launched the first-generation generative pre-trained model GPT-1 in 2016, it has taken six years to make ChatGPT popular, and Microsoft has continued to transfuse the project during this period.

Okay, even if Qiao Ze, a genius boy, can really come up with a more powerful algorithm framework than ChatGPT to reduce the dimensionality of ChatGPT, where does the huge computing power come from? Who will provide the huge database needed to train the model?

It was to sell him Xu Dajiang......

He can't scrape together so much money to play this!

Isn't this a project that those Internet giants should consider?

As for the long-term goals......

If this kind of underlying platform based on AI thinking logic can really be built, and it can really stand up to inspection and be accepted, Xu Dajiang thinks that Bill Gates knelt down to Xilin University of Technology, just to kowtow to Qiao Ze, he doesn't feel strange at all.

So at this moment, Xu Dajiang's lips trembled, not knowing what to say.

Xilin University of Technology really doesn't have the card to attract such a powerful big man to invest in this grand project.

Not to mention that the initiator of this project is not an academician, not a Changjiang scholar, not a young scientist, not an outstanding young person, just an associate professor of the school and a high school student who has just entered college.

Qiao Ze looked at Xu Dajiang with some doubts.

Because the dean's uncle, who had always had a smile on his face, suddenly became very strange.

He just gave a brief overview of the idea of the project, is it necessary?

Fortunately, Li Jiangao could probably understand Xu Dajiang's mood at this time, and said with a wry smile: "Qiao Ze, have you ever thought about how much this project will cost?" How much manpower and material resources do we need to do it? ”

Qiao Ze was stunned, then looked at Li Jiangao and said: "It doesn't take a lot of money, I checked the cost on the Internet, renting servers, computing power, and other expenses, it should be enough to have about one or two million, and we don't need to really make a ChatGPT to promote it on a large scale." And it doesn't take so much money to start upfront. ”

"The short-term goal is to verify that the framework is feasible, to ensure end-to-end quality of service, and to optimize the model and reduce the size of the parameters, so as to prove that according to our theory, the developed algorithm framework has advantages. I'm not interested in the rest of the refinement. ”

"And I believe that as long as there is sufficient evidence to prove this, we should not be short of money for the next long-term planning. I've seen a lot of similar cases online, and there will be people rushing to pay. On top of that, our papers certainly won't get stuck anymore, right? ”
