Chapter 254: A Word Causes a Thousand Waves
After the other party finished speaking, he returned the microphone to him. Editor-in-Chief Zhou did not show any anger on his face, but instead had a hint of a smile on his face.
"I am very happy that different voices can be heard in an occasion like today. It proves that we are open. The most terrible thing about academic research is a one-man show... People did not give up questioning just because I am the editor-in-chief. This is a very good thing. Director Jiang's words make sense. I took it for granted..."
Editor-in-Chief Zhou looked away at Qiu Huoming on the stage, "I'm sorry to trouble you, young comrade. After all, you haven't prepared for a speech before. You have also seen other authors' explanations in the past two days. Just follow their methods and explain your paper..."
Qiu Huoming stood on the stage, the lights were dazzling. He looked at Editor-in-Chief Zhou below the stage and began to understand why Halliday admired him so much.
This demeanor alone is impressive.
The host promptly handed him the microphone.
Qiu Huoming took the microphone and first bowed to the people in the audience, especially Editor-in-Chief Zhou who was standing opposite him.
"Thank you for your teachings, seniors. To be honest, I'm still a little confused. I just went out for something, and I didn't expect to see this when I came back. However..."
He looked at the people in the audience. The boy stood tall and straight. He raised the corners of his mouth and his voice was clearly transmitted above the venue, "I am willing to accept this challenge. Then, I will start..."
"My name is Qiu Huoming. I'm from South China Institute of Technology. I'm currently a freshman in the Radio Department. My paper is about proving Fermat's conjecture... The title is..."
Editor-in-Chief Zhou fell silent upon hearing this. There have been a lot of personnel changes in the editorial department recently, and half of the people are leaving and being transferred to the university system. This shows how much the country values education.
There were many doubts, some of which were outright suspicions that he couldn't have independently completed these inferences at his age... so his so-called paper must have been written by someone else...
Many of the participants in the audience had read his paper. Although it was published a little late, it caused internal controversy as soon as it was published.
He stood on the stage and talked eloquently. When he was in high spirits, he moved the movable blackboard on the stage to the center. The host beside him quickly handed him a piece of chalk. He took the chalk and began to write the proof formula on the spot...
Director Jiang shook his head. "You didn't hear him say that he is from South China Institute of Technology. Their President Liu is very protective of his students. He knows that I am targeting their students. I am afraid that he will not even celebrate the New Year and will come to Shenhai to kill me..."
Qiu Huoming on the stage spoke without any pause, as if he had given this speech many times before.
Especially after the reform and opening up, some knowledgeable people discovered the huge gap, even the chasm, between their country's science and technology and that of powerful countries. Therefore, a trend emerged in the entire scientific research institution, that is, to actively seek knowledge from abroad.
Even if he didn't, you could tell that he had a deep understanding of his paper.
"You can't say such professional things just because you are thick-skinned. He is gifted. Not only does he have professional knowledge, but he also has a good eloquence. Old Jiang, aren't you going to expand the enrollment of Jiaotong University?"
Editor Zhou smiled when he heard this, "I don't have the ability to predict the future. This young comrade didn't know we wanted him to go on stage. Look at him, his style is probably more mature than mine!"
After hearing this, the doubts of the people in the audience finally disappeared...
There are some people in this world who think they are ordinary, but in fact, as long as they are given a stage, they can shine and give off heat.
Director Jiang, who raised doubts at the side, sighed, "I originally thought he was all show and no substance, but I didn't expect that he would show off. Old Zhou, you really have good taste..."
Seeing the scene before him, anyone would know that this paper must have been written by him, otherwise even every pause would not be so smooth.
Qiu Huoming's voice was still echoing in the conference hall. The young man was tireless, writing and answering questions at the same time, with extremely clear thoughts.
Editor Zhou in the front row leaned forward slightly, staring at the boy on the stage. The boy had a mature demeanor and didn't look like a kid from a county town at all...
Director Jiang smiled and said, "If he is not a genius, then he is thick-skinned."
In addition, he reviewed the paper he wrote the night before. Every word and formula in the paper was circling in his mind. His understanding of them became more thorough during this high-pressure moment on the stage.
Qiu Huoming was completely unaware of what the people below were thinking on the stage. He was so excited that he quoted extensively and made the boring thesis interesting...
Qiu Huoming was able to speak so smoothly on the stage thanks to the fact that he learned from other people's strengths and broadened his horizons at this seminar.
High-level talent is scarce everywhere.
Just like a while ago, he participated in bringing the Great Wall 1st generation mainframe and Dawn 1 supercomputer-related materials to the "Beautiful Country" for their technicians to evaluate. The answers he got disappointed many researchers at the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
Just when they were about to take the core information to the "China-Japan Economic Knowledge Exchange Conference" at the request of the "Sakura Country", they were strongly opposed by a member who was also going there. The person who opposed was the dean of the school where the young man stood.
Editor-in-Chief Zhou recognized the character of President Liu, but the two machines still needed to be evaluated by more professional people because the investment was too huge. Everyone was worried about every step. If the technology fell too far behind, then there was no need to continue this research and development.
Now everyone's focus is on the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Should it continue or stop? Should it be handed over to the "Land of Cherry Blossoms" or should it stop seeking external verification?
Editor Zhou stared at Qiu Huoming, who was already finishing his speech, and suddenly remembered that Dean Liu had said that there was another student who held opposing opinions. He also said that even a student could see the trick...
Editor Zhou vaguely felt that the student he was talking about was most likely the young man in front of him.
He turned the pen in his hand. On the table was a rating form for the authors who had spoken on the stage. There was an extra line at the bottom with Qiu Huoming's name handwritten on it.
He leaned back in his chair, stopped turning the pen in his hand, and suddenly an idea came to him.
Why not ask him? Brainstorming, if he had not taken Dean Liu's words of a student to heart before, then at this moment, he changed his mind.
An unknown student was able to solve one of the three major problems that plague the world. There must be something worthwhile about this student's opinion.
In a way, his thoughts were in agreement with Qiu Huoming on the stage...
Qiu Huoming actually always had the idea of strengthening his own power in the academic world and using this power to pave the way for his future business research...
A young person who has achieved outstanding academic results and an unknown young person will have a completely different voice in this world.
"This is the end of my explanation. If you have any questions, you can ask me after the meeting. It won't take up the meeting time..."
Qiu Huoming stood beside the blackboard, holding the microphone and smiling at the audience, saying, "Thank you, everyone."
He took a step forward and bowed again, then straightened up, ignored the thunderous applause from the audience, and returned the microphone to the host.
He turned and walked down the side of the stage.
The host smiled and said, "Thank you Comrade Qiu Huoming for your wonderful explanation. This morning's meeting ends here. We will still be here at 2 pm to stay with you all..."
As soon as Qiu Huoming walked to Halliday's side, he heard the host's closing remarks.
Halliday gave him a thumbs up, but before he could say anything, he saw Editor-in-Chief Zhou in the front row turn his head and look at Qiu Huoming, "Xiaoqiu, don't leave yet, let's have dinner together later..."
Halliday immediately responded for him: "Okay, okay, we won't leave..."
Editor-in-Chief Zhou looked at Halliday and nodded politely to him, then turned around and started talking to the judges next to him.
People in the conference hall walked out one after another. Qiu Huoming and Halliday stayed where they were, waiting for Editor-in-Chief Zhou in the front row.
Halliday hesitated for a moment, then approached Qiu Huoming and asked, "I'm going to go with you later, do you mind?"
Qiu Huoming smiled when he heard this, "Of course I don't mind. It's definitely not me who will treat you to lunch today."
"That's good as long as you don't mind. Who cares? If it's just Editor-in-Chief Zhou, it's fine if I treat him."
After he finished speaking, he rubbed his hands, and it was obvious that he was still somewhat excited.
After a while, the only people left in the meeting room were Editor-in-Chief Zhou and another thin young man next to him, who had also been following him.
They stood up, and Qiu Huoming quickly pulled Halliday over.
Editor Zhou turned his head and looked at them. "Have you been waiting for a long time?"
"No, it's just a short time. We don't mind. We can wait a little longer." Halliday responded immediately.
Editor Zhou smiled and said, "Let's go out for dinner."
The group walked out of the venue, crossed the garden path and came to the door of an old-style villa. The facade of the house looked very simple, and they could smell the fragrance of food before they got close.
I walked up the steep stairs and went straight to the second floor. It was a Chinese restaurant, and the interior was very elegantly decorated. The central hall was very tall, with stairs on the side and another floor above.
There are waiters here. It seems that Editor-in-Chief Zhou and his team come here often.
"Give me four bowls of plain noodles, two servings of pork ribs and rice cake, and one serving of stir-fried vegetables. I'll send them upstairs." It was the man next to Editor-in-Chief Zhou who spoke.
"Okay, Teacher Li." The waiter took out a pen and wrote the menu on paper.
Qiu Huoming followed them up to the third floor. There were two private rooms, both empty. The large lattice windows faced the outdoors. The midday sun shone warmly on the window sill. A square table covered with a red checkered tablecloth was against the window.
There are four armchairs, also covered with thick red checkered cushions, which look very warm.
"Please sit down." Editor-in-Chief Zhou greeted him.
After everyone took their seats, Chief Editor Zhou introduced: "He is Mr. Li from our editorial department. Xiaoqiu, he was the one who reviewed your paper..."
"Thank you, Teacher Li." Qiu Huoming said with a smile.
Halliday also greeted them and took the initiative to introduce himself, "My name is Halliday, a technician, also from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, from Sichuan Province..."
"Uncle Han, your accent doesn't sound like it."
Halliday smiled awkwardly, "I'm from Tianjin, I was sent down there in my early years..."
"We are all from the same unit, so we are not outsiders." Editor-in-Chief Zhou turned around and brought over a teapot. Qiu Huoming quickly stood up and took four teacups.
Editor-in-Chief Zhou filled the teacups in front of them. "Come, have some tea first. This snack bar has excellent craftsmanship. It's usually the place where our editorial department entertains guests..."
Teacher Li then smiled and said, "That's right. The local cuisine is very authentic. The first floor is occupied and not open to the public, so we built an extra staircase outside. It's just that the staircase is quite steep, so outsiders probably don't know there's a restaurant here."
Halliday nodded. "I've been here for a few days. I've walked around here before, but I didn't find anything to eat here..."
After everyone chatted for a while, the atmosphere gradually became harmonious.
Editor Zhou finally got to the point. "Xiao Qiu, have you heard of the Great Wall 1st generation mainframe and the Dawn 1 supercomputer?"
Qiu Huoming replied: "I know. Dean Liu of our college mentioned it..."
Editor Zhou breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked, "What do you think about this matter?"
Halliday, who was standing by, was confused but did not dare to interrupt. He just drank his tea silently, glancing across from him from time to time.
"My suggestion to Dean Liu is that the only reason why others cannot identify these two machines is that our technology is ahead of the world..."
A single word caused a thousand ripples. Editor-in-Chief Zhou's teacup shook when he heard it, and Teacher Li next to him could no longer sit still.
"Don't pretend to know something you don't. Several leaders in the technical field of Sakura Country have said that it is because our technology is too poor..."
The smile on Qiu Huoming's face gradually disappeared. He said solemnly with a straight face: "It can only be said that the craftsmanship is too poor and the appearance is not good, but the core technology is absolutely fine. At least it is several years ahead of the world. If you give the core technology of these two machines to 'Sakura Country' now, it will be..."
Qiu Huoming endured it and did not say the word "betraying the country" but said it in another way, "That means you have an extreme lack of confidence in your own country!"
"Although most of our technology lags behind the world, there are still many that are ahead of the world, such as some chemical and aviation industries..."
Qiu Huoming gave several examples in a row before he stopped.
Halliday stared at Qiu Huoming in a daze. Before he could react, the food was served.
Looking at the steaming noodles and side dishes on the table, Editor-in-Chief Zhou heaved a sigh of relief. He pointed at the noodles and said, "Come on, eat first, and then we'll talk..."
Qiu Huoming took a look at the bowl on the table. It was a large bowl, not the common enamel basin outside. The noodles in the bowl were thin and each strand was distinct. A pinch of chopped green onion floated on the sauce-colored soup, which looked very good.
The four people divided the pork ribs and rice cakes on the table.
Qiu Huoming couldn't help but be tempted, and he lowered his head to eat. After taking a few mouthfuls of noodles, he picked up a piece of pork ribs and a bite of rice cake, and then he sincerely praised: "It's delicious."
Editor Zhou on the other side smiled and said, "I also like their pork ribs rice cake."
After a few mouthfuls of noodles, the chill on my feet dissipated and my whole body became warm. The breeze outside brushed my cheeks. A few sparrows were perched on a tall branch not far away, chirping...
Although the winter scenery in Shenhai City is bleak, the street scenes are decorated very festively, and red lanterns have been hung on both sides of the long street in the distance.
After we finished eating the noodles, the waiter took away the dishes and chopsticks on the table and brought us a new pot of tea.
