Rebirth in 1960, My Industrial Age

Chapter 268 Amei is not great at all

Chapter 268 Amei is not great at all (Subscribe)
The venue was packed with people. It seemed a bit strange that so many people came for a Chinese scientist. After all, this is the country with the most serious racial problems.

But in fact, this is what happened.

While Zhou Fengnian was discussing the process with the person who was presenting the award to him, the security personnel arranged by Amei had already been deployed in the venue in advance.

These people were arranged by Amei. The one who least wanted him to get into trouble was Amei. It took them nearly eight years to finally win over Huaxia.

Moreover, they were the ones who invited people here. No matter who in China gets into trouble, it will be Amei who will be embarrassed.

"Don't be nervous, just accept the award and say a few words, and then we can leave.
This award seems to be given to the best computer experts, so I kind of understand why they have to wait for you, haha."

There is no way around it, there is really no way around it.

If they give the award to someone else without considering Zhou Fengnian, the award would lose its authority. However, Zhou Fengnian rarely goes abroad, and they have finally got the chance, so they must take this opportunity to give the award to him.

"I see."

Zhou Fengnian said with a smile, and the two began chatting in the back.

Not long after, someone came to inform Zhou Fengnian that everything was ready.

Zhou Fengnian also came to the front with the award organizers. The venue was dim, but the lights were all gathered on the podium. On the huge podium, there were two sofas and a small glass table.

It didn't look like it would be over soon, and Zhou Fengnian couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

"Welcome everyone who has always been curious, the Chinese Zhou Fengnian who invented the world's most popular Shenzhou computer and thirteen simplified computer control technologies."

The person presiding over the meeting spoke loudly, and his voice came through the microphone and reached everyone's ears.

"He is here today, and this is also the day he is awarded the Turing Award..."

After Zhou Fengnian came on stage, the host continued, "Zhou, I don't know if our communication today went smoothly. I see that you seem to have rejected the translation we prepared. There will be a segment where your fans will ask you questions later."

Zhou Fengnian said in fluent English: "Don't worry, even if people from all over the world ask me questions, there shouldn't be any problem. I can master almost 37 languages."

"God, is this true? Do you really control so many languages? There has never been anyone in our country who can control so many languages. If we want to find someone who can compare with you, I'm afraid we have to look for people in the past."

"Of course it's true. As long as it's not an obscure language used by hundreds of people, I should be able to understand and communicate."

The person hosting the scene switched to French and Spanish in the previous sentence, and Zhou Fengnian responded fluently, which immediately made him widen his eyes in shock.

The scene fell silent, and then some people who understood what was said couldn't help but applaud, leading others to follow suit.

After Zhou Fengnian gave a brief demonstration, the event quickly got down to business and he was awarded the prize.

This award does not have a great influence now, but over the past decade or so, it has gradually become formalized; and as more and more people become interested in computers, the value of this award is still rising.

It is only awarded to people who have had a significant impact on the development of computers. Obviously, in the past five or even ten years, no one can surpass Zhou Fengnian, and no one can even catch up with him.

A medal, and a check for $200,000.

The exchange rate for US dollars to RMB is more, sometimes as high as five to one.

In China, there are definitely people with assets worth half a million. After all, decades of accumulation cannot be wiped out by just one campaign.

But I'm afraid Zhou Fengnian is the only one who dares to take it out openly.

What if the power of capitalist bribery becomes stronger and stronger and Zhou Fengnian is abducted away?

He is not yet forty years old.
Earlier, Zhou Fengnian had already started to give some acceptance speeches, which were actually just hello, hello to everyone, after all, he had just received $200,000.

“.The concept of computers appeared very early, but it has only been 33 years since the first computer appeared. However, it has developed from a computer that could not fit in several rooms to one that a person can carry in his hand and walk away.

In the next thirty years, computers will be developed to the point where you can hold them in one hand and put them in your pocket. Maybe in less than thirty years, in twenty years, you will be able to buy a fifth or sixth generation Shenzhou computer.
They even appeared in human form, were endowed with intelligence and life by us, and were created as a race to assist the evolution of human society.
I have published a textbook in Huaxia, which contains my judgment on the future of computers. Computers are involved in our travel, home, office and entertainment. The core of the development of the third industrial revolution must be the widespread use of computers.

Zhou Fengnian said a lot, mainly sketching out some pictures of the future world. He was a good speaker and soon made the people present immersed in the future world he sketched.

Not long after Zhou Fengnian finished speaking, everyone slowly came to their senses and started applauding.

Zhou Fengnian was very satisfied with the result and now it was time for him to leave.

But before he could express this idea, the host started some weird interactive questions.

Zhou Fengnian accepted the invitation and couldn't refuse directly, so he sat down and continued to suffer for a while.

Soon a local college student stood up and asked: "Zhou, you said that in the next 30 years, computers will be small enough to be held in one hand. Can it be understood that China has already developed it?"

Zhou Fengnian said: "Not really, but this is the direction of future development and we will work hard in this direction;
If you buy three generations of Shenzhou computers, you will find that the size of computers is getting smaller and smaller, but the functions are getting more and more powerful. This is the trend! "

The second person was selected and asked: [Zhou, which country do you think has the best computer development? ]

Zhou Fengnian said with a smile: "If I say it's Amei or Xiaorizi, then you and them will probably be embarrassed to accept it, so I choose to tell the truth, it's us Huaxia!"

Many people asked questions afterwards, but they were all normal. Even if there was a bit of tension, Zhou Fengnian answered them all.

After seeing this, the deputy leaders in the background nodded secretly, thinking that Zhou Fengnian did not have the bad temper as rumored. Isn't he quite good at handling things? Soon, the time was almost up. In addition to the students, some professors and researchers who looked quite old also asked some questions.

It’s just that their questions were more professional, so Zhou Fengnian didn’t answer any of them if he didn’t have to. Anyway, he didn’t reveal any of the technical confidentiality, but instead used his rhetoric to divert the attention.

When waiting for the last question, the host selected a student who was standing at the back and asked: "Zhou, what do you think is the greatness of Ami? Would you choose to develop in this great country of Ami? Because I think that only here can you display your talents."

The meeting room suddenly became quiet, and many people were waiting for Zhou Fengnian's answer.

Zhou Fengnian smiled and said, "These are two questions, and both are easy to answer."

"In our country, we must first make a judgment on the problem. We first ask whether it is true or not, and then ask why. First, you say Aramco is a great country.
Obviously, Ame is not a great country. This word should not be used indiscriminately. You can say that Ame is a powerful country, which is undeniable. The only country that can be compared with it is Russia, but neither of these two countries is great.

End the war? Promote peaceful development? All countries are involved in both, and the contributions of other countries cannot be erased. Moreover, the latter.”

Zhou Fengnian paused for a moment and did not continue speaking, otherwise this visit mission would be ruined. Then he changed the subject and continued
"If we want to look at the definition of greatness, at least a country should be able to advance human civilization, improve the standard of human life, and eliminate wars around the world. Only then can it be considered a great country.

At least for a foreigner like me, this is the only way to achieve success. But for the people of Amei, he has done a great job and made you a strong country."

If you step on it halfway and then praise it again, it won't be considered as destroying the mission.

After listening to this, the deputy leader in the background finally breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Zhou Fengnian finally turned around and did not say anything more excessive.

Otherwise, if they were improving the relationship on the one hand and destroying it on the other, Zhou Fengnian would be wrong, and he, the leader who failed to keep an eye on Zhou Fengnian, would also be wrong.

After Zhou Fengnian finished speaking, there was a silence in the room, as if everyone was thinking about what Zhou Fengnian had just said.

Zhou Fengnian himself felt that he had said too much. If he was facing their own people, he might have said even more extreme things.

Among the three positions of left, right and center, he is more like center-left, so his attitude is more radical. Today he has become more restrained.

Zhou Fengnian looked at the host and asked, "Louis, the questions are over."

"Oh, oh, let us thank Zhou from Huaxia for his answer for today's award ceremony."

After Louis, the host, announced the end, many people still wanted to ask questions, but they were stopped by the people maintaining order on the scene. Zhou Fengnian waved his hand and walked backstage.

Under the escort of security personnel, they quickly got into the car and returned to the state guesthouse where they were staying.

After arriving here, Zhou Fengnian felt a little relieved, then he took out the check and looked at it.

"But boss, what should we do with this check?"

Zhou Fengnian took out a check for $200,000, which was a reward given to him.

The deputy leader took a look and said, "Change it to RMB when you get back, so you won't suffer a loss."

"This is not a loss at all. If it weren't for the mission, I wouldn't want to come at all. It's already a lot of money when converted into RMB."

Zhou Fengnian smiled and said, "As long as the leader says this, I can rest assured."

"Haha, this is what you have earned through your own ability. No one else can say anything. Many of our academic committee members have published articles in foreign journals to increase their influence and have received a lot of royalties. The country now supports this."

The deputy leader said with a smile, and according to his understanding, five hundred thousand is not considered the richest in the country.

Some of the bourgeois masses who did not leave had more financial resources and were able to hide safely.

"Next we can go visit Ami's high-tech base. Fengnian, you should pay more attention and see what we should learn."

"Okay, don't worry, leader."

Zhou Fengnian said confidently that although he knew Amei would not reveal cutting-edge technology to them, they could still learn some means of technological development.

And there was not much time left, they could only stay for a few days, and almost half of the time had passed.

------

When Zhou Fengnian was hiding in the State Guesthouse, there was almost an uproar outside Amei.

Some trouble-making and malicious media took his words out of context and reported them in a paparazzi-like manner.

A discussion has been sparked in Ame: Is Ame a great or powerful country?
The most heated discussion was about the school that awarded Zhou Fengnian the award. Many people listened to what Zhou Fengnian said and felt that he was right.

When the discussion became heated, many fights and bloody incidents occurred.

Even on TV, you can see similar programs discussing whether Amei is great or powerful.

Zhou Fengnian also saw it. He didn't expect that his answer would cause such a big commotion. Moreover, in the subsequent meetings and actions with the leaders, more people were obviously interested in him and took the initiative to ask him some questions.

At this time Zhou Fengnian turned into a mute and refused with a polite smile. He had been warned by the deputy leader not to talk nonsense anymore.
