Chapter 300: The Clown Is Myself
At this time, the head is already bigger than the heart, and it is definitely not only the Jacobs Group.
When the material model was born and the materials science papers from Huaxia began to cause a commotion in major academic journals, not only the academic community found anomalies, but countless companies closely related to materials science began to pay attention to this strange situation from that time.
When the Xilin Institute of Digital Research officially announced the existence of the material model, and the truth was revealed, all related companies began to move.
Never underestimate the smell of the big names in the mall.
Scientists can think of any way to make money, they can think of. Scientists can't even think of ways to make money, they not only think of it, but they dare to put it into practice.
That is, the reverse material model is completely controlled by Doudou, and these people have not yet figured out how to steal the model from the hands of artificial intelligence.
In fact, Langley was able to receive that task before, and there was already capital in the middle.
Unfortunately, after getting the model code, I found that it could not be used directly, and an activation code was also required. Before, you could still use it by buying activation codes, but now Doudou doesn't sell activation codes. But even if Doudou continues to be sold, most companies can't afford it.
It's $250 million for a single use, well, that's a lot for a giant company like Jacobs Group, but it's not entirely unacceptable.
Even if you throw 500 million US dollars angrily, you can really get the formula of new concrete and steel bar, and you will definitely make money.
The key problem is that an activation code does not necessarily calculate a satisfactory result directly.
Especially when they got the so-called beta version, and the experts who tuned the parameters didn't have much experience, and they weren't even completely sure that the material model was completely fine.
Spend 250 million at a time to try your luck, to be honest, even if you let Apple play like this, it is estimated that you have to weigh it.
It's not about investing in technology research and development, it's about luck.
Calculate it and buy it directly, even if it adds a lot of freight, it is cheaper than thinking of other ways.
Although the performance of the export version of the product is castrated, it is much better than the materials used now, the only problem is that the supply of raw materials for the continuation is suddenly cut off, and the neck is choked inexplicably.
And the ban is very illogical.
It is a performance castration product, and the purpose is very clear from the beginning of the design, and it is used for foreign trade circle money, so where is the reason for the ban?
Is the dollar suddenly not fragrant? Reverse Wassena?
In short, people are like this, and they don't know how much it hurts when the board hits them.
It's not that I don't want to work hard and go independent research and development, but people have inertia.
According to the traditional method of making materials, even in the case of samples, it is a very hard job to find out the exact ratio. Especially in this traditional industry, the cement companies in the United States used to produce these products even more expensive than the products of advanced new materials such as Huaxia.
Therefore, anger cannot solve the problem, and the key point of the problem can be solved by figuring out the key points of the problem as soon as possible.
There is no information exchange, and soon everyone knows that this ban on sales is a direct operation of the artificial intelligence management system of Xilin Digital College.
So the question is, why does artificial intelligence operate like this?!
Frank Coffey finds the logic of AI difficult to dissect, but that's clearly not what everyone thinks.
There are many people who think, and many problems can be analyzed just from the time node of the whole process.
Thirteen hours ago, the official website of the Cafford Prize announced the candidates for this year's Cafford Mathematics Prize, but JosΓ©, who had been the most popular before, did not win the prize. There were many doubts in the mathematics community, but the organizing committee of the award did not respond.
Thirteen hours later, the AI put all the new materials exported on the system's ban list and notified them directly to the production unit through the system.
There are even more powerful people who have obtained the compensation standards for enterprises in the original text of the notice.
The export materials that have been produced, the system will give an upgrade plan, through reprocessing to make it meet the new standards of China's domestic sales, the cost and foreign trade difference generated by the system to make up for the enterprise, and help these enterprises to find sales channels, as for the subsequent contract is a force majeure directly invalidated.
In other words, in order to facilitate this incident, a mathematical research institute even had to pay the affected production companies backwards.
So what is the reason for this, do you need to say?
The logic of artificial intelligence is difficult to judge, but for the human spirit who works for many large companies, the human logic is easy to judge.
After all, executives who can get to a certain position are experts in speculating on people's hearts.
After everyone put together the news, they quickly came to a conclusion. So this is an academic award that makes someone feel unfair, so the person sitting in the Xilin Institute of Mathematics is in a bad mood, and simply cuts off the supply, so that everyone is in a bad mood?
What these people don't know is that they judge that someone's thinking logic is wrong, but they judge the thinking logic of artificial intelligence correctly, especially artificial intelligence whose thinking logic is deeply influenced by countless melon eaters on the Internet.
In mathematics, this is the wrong way to get the right conclusion.
After all, these people never imagined that this world would really dare to completely hand over this level of decision-making power to artificial intelligence.
This is the same reason that artificial intelligence may not be able to replace accounting for a long time, AI can make mistakes, but the pot must be borne by people. You can't let artificial intelligence step on the sewing machine, right?
But no matter what, they've solved the case!
Who would have thought that a scientific award that many of them had not paid attention to at all could affect many of the world's top 500 traditional manufacturing companies, and could even cause hundreds of millions, or even tens of billions of dollars, to these companies?
And that's just the cost, and if you take into account the amount of money you should have earned, that's even more.
Good guys, countless people really just chant good guys directly.
A Cafford Prize, with a total prize of only 500,000 US dollars, has directly affected a total of hundreds of billions of foreign trade orders. Once this potential connection is discovered, who is not confused?
As a result, some people's phone calls and mailboxes were buzzing at the same time.
β¦β¦
Stockholm, Sweden.
In the bedroom, the old man was looking at the phone in a daze.
It was the third call he had received.
Not only him, but he believes that the members of the Cafford Prize jury should have received a similar call today.
The caller does not have an official identity like Ruhl Smith and represents some kind of invisible power. But the people who can call him on his mobile phone also have status, at least the title of a consultant.
Even if these people are not well-known now, they have all had political experience before becoming consultants, and their invisible influence is very great. After all, behind the consultants, these people also have a special name - brokers.
These people form an invisible network that influences all aspects of a country's decision-making.
Originally, the old man felt that he should have nothing to do with these people.
But this time, these people all approached him directly, some politely asked about the Cratford Award judging, and some questioned the fairness of the award......
The most ridiculous thing is that two of the three phone calls turned out to be from the United States.
Is it already schizophrenic to this extent?
Why is this award unfair, you don't have a little pressure in your heart?
If it weren't for Langley's people to threaten them with the data of various funds operated by the Academy of Sciences, considering the safety of the fund, it would not be frozen, it would not be sniped, and finally the fund would go bankrupt, would he choose to give in?
As a result, now that he has pressed the credibility of an award that has accumulated over decades, and has given an unexpected result, these people have come to criticize their impartiality when they are already overwhelmed by the doubts of the academic community?
Even threatened that they should be fairly awarded and given the award to the person who deserves it?!
Really, I didn't scold directly, because of the self-cultivation accumulated over the years.
After all, people can't be shameless to the point that it is these people who ask them to deviate from impartiality and consider values, and it is also these people who now emphasize that the selection of academic awards should be fair and not deviate from the first principle of academics.
Neurotic, right?
Yes, at this time the old man did not yet know what was happening in this world.
He is not in business, so he naturally does not know that in the entire European and American regions, there are many bigwigs who control hundreds of millions of fortunes, and they can't sleep at night.
But then his phone call got even more lively.
His judgment was correct.
Not only did he receive similar calls, but Emerson Gustaf, who was directly in charge of the Clafford Prize judges, received more calls and seemed even more impolite......
"Sir AndrΓ©, I can't believe that they have demanded that I change the laureate at once, and even issued death threats!"
The old man could hear the excitement in Emerson's tone, and his mood was even more clouded.
Of course, he can understand this excitement, and whoever is threatened like this will be excited!
Tear, so torn!
Civilized society, directly on the phone to send death threats?
The request turned out to be a change of winner?!
Do those Americans really want to uphold so-called values? Cracking down on a math newcomer?
This is obviously to nullify the credibility of an academic award!
Anger was rising, but he tried to calm himself down and asked, "Okay, Emerson, calm down." Didn't you tell them what the hell was going on? β
"Huh......" The other side exhaled deeply and replied, "I said it!" But the caller didn't approve of it, and his exact words were: Oh, Langley? Hehe, then what I'm going to tell you is that we can do what Langley can do, and even do it more professionally than they do. β
Hearing this, the old man was stunned.
Very good.
More professional than Langley......
Is this true when they are soft persimmons?
A wave of anger instantly surged into my heart.
"I see, Emerson, don't worry, I'll give you a call and ask what's going on."
"No need to ask, they told me, just because they suspected that because the Cafford Award was not awarded to Qiao Ze, Huaxia directly put a series of key materials that were allowed to be exported on the list of prohibited exports, and it took effect immediately.
According to statistics, more than 39 manufacturing companies in the world's top 500 have been directly affected, and thousands of enterprises have been indirectly affected. And the hardest hit areas are the construction and automobile manufacturing industries. The other end of the phone said quickly.
It seems that death threats can indeed make people burst into powerful abilities, which naturally includes the ability to gather information.
One sentence made the old man see the whole thing clearly.
Sure enough, everything can't escape the entanglement of interests.
Out of interest, he decided to give in to Ruhl Smith, and the side that felt the injustice chose to fight back by suppressing the interests of others.
Is this my bad mentality that everyone is not good?
As for it?
It's just a Cratford Award......
For a moment the old man did not know whether he should feel honored or sad.
It is an honor because an award run by the Academy of Sciences, which is far less well-known than the Nobel Prize, can be valued by so many big people; The sad thing is that the matter of the gods fighting the little ghosts actually fell on them, and they still played the role of little ghosts......
The two of you are fighting on your own, and no one cares about you when you hit the brains, and everyone can cheer you on the side.
What the hell is this indirect game?
Who are we messing with?!
After the winners are announced, will they temporarily replace or make up for the winners?
Do these people understand how the credibility of a science award is established?
Isn't this a joke to openly hold a loudspeaker and shout to the world, and the rigorous judging process of the awards is all a joke?!
Not to mention that the review process of the Cafford Prize is actually similar to that of the Nobel Prize, and if the Cafford Prize is operated in this way, the academic community will not only question the Cafford Prize!
Really, for a moment, the old man even suspected that this was a game made by both sides, just to ruin the century-old reputation of the Academy of Sciences!
But after thinking about it, he could only appease the anxious middle-aged man on the other side of the phone before thinking about how to deal with it, and comforted him slowly: "Okay, I know, Emerson." Don't worry, those people are just in a hurry, just wait for peace of mind, I need to talk to that person on the phone and find a way to solve this matter. β
"No, Sir Andrew, they mean it! Hundreds of billions of dollars in losses, even in anger. Also, I wasn't the only one who received this threat, but all the judges. They also said that if we don't fix the bug, they will find a way to fix it for us! Conspiracy, everything is a conspiracy! But...... So it's better for us to ......."
"Calm down! Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if they do act, it won't be so fast! Trust me, give me some time, okay?! At least you're in Sweden. The old man accentuated his tone.
In the end, there was no way out, and the old man obviously didn't want to go to the step of temporary substitution.
Could it be that when you make another announcement to the outside world, you didn't check it carefully when you made the award announcement, and you got the name wrong?!
Well, even if those threats are real, you have to consider whether the credibility of a 100-year award is more important or paying the price for bad decisions.
It's just that the Krafoord Prize doesn't matter, but if it comes to the Nobel Prize, all of them will be sinners of history.
The other side finally calmed down because of this sentence.
Yes, at least others are in Stockholm, not Baltimore.
"I see, Sir Andrew, waiting for your news."
"Hmm!"
The old man did not choose to continue to comfort his colleague who was in a panic, and after hanging up the phone, he closed his eyes and thought for a long time, until he straightened out his mind and dialed the phone left for him by Ruel Smith.
"Hey, hello."
It wasn't Ruhl Smith's voice on the other end of the line, but it was somewhat familiar.
When I think about it, it seems to be the secretary who came with Ruhl Smith at the time.
"I'm looking for Director Smith."
"Oh, I'm sorry, but Director Smith is presiding over an important meeting, who are you? Is there anything I need to convey? β
"Don't come here, you know who I am, please let him answer the phone immediately, I have something urgent here."
There was a moment of silence on the other side, and then he said, "Okay, Mr. Andre, but Director Smith is indeed in a meeting. β
"What meeting is so important? My colleagues are facing death threats, and I want a reasonable explanation, how are you going to let this end?! That's not too much, right? The old man said word by word.
"Mr. Andrei, to be honest, I don't quite understand what you're talking about. Do we have anything to do with the death threats against your colleagues? To be honest, we are not responsible for dealing with these problems, I think you should probably ask your colleagues to call 911 quickly for this kind of thing, what's the use of looking for our director? β
This answer made the old man take a deep breath.
Although he had some bad intentions, the old man really didn't expect the other side to be so shameless.
Is this an attempt to completely dissociate itself from this matter?
"It's your people who are threatening us, it's you who make us make decisions, and I hope Ruel Smith will come forward and give me an answer. And not this kind of pretext, if he is not afraid of those words of his being exposed! β
This time the other side was silent for a longer time, but the answer given made the old man desperate: "Mr. Andrei, I think you must have misunderstood something. We have not threatened anyone, nor have we interfered with any of your decisions. And...... If any one person can interfere with your decision-making, to be honest, your words will make us doubt your professionalism.
If you choose what to expose, that's your freedom. But I think Director Smith has always been sincere. He simply called on allies to complement their efforts for shared values. But maybe you've misunderstood what Director Smith meant. In such a professional matter, Director Smith will not casually express his opinion.
So I'm sorry, but we can't really help you in this matter. If nothing else, I'll hang up first. When Director Smith is done with the meeting, I'll ask him if he needs to call you back if I have the chance. β
After speaking, he didn't give the old man a chance to speak, and hung up the phone directly on the other side.
It's already busy when you dial it again.
Of course, the old man knew that Langley's personal phone number was in control, and it was impossible for him to be so busy, so the biggest possibility was that the other party really wouldn't care about this matter anymore.
For a moment, the old man was a little dazed.
In his long life of more than 70 years, he has seen many shameless betrayals, but this time it still gave him a new definition of the words shamelessness and betrayal.
He thought that the relationship between the two sides was at least grasshoppers tied together, but who knew that they were just toilet paper that could be discarded after use.
Oh, it turned out to be toilet paper that doesn't even count as chess pieces!
Even the other party doesn't admit that this toilet paper is used by them!
Who says that art comes from life and is higher than life?
In the house of cards, the portrayal and description of those guys are really too gentle and low-end!
