Xueba's computing system

Chapter 169: Derivative Impact
In the period that followed, there was one happier person in the world, but there was also a very sad country.
-
Zhou Shuiyi rode his retro 28-bar bicycle through the campus of Xiabei University as usual. This 28-bar bicycle did not belong to this century at all, but he had a special liking for such old-fashioned things.

If you look closely at his clothes, you will find that his clothes are not buttoned with plastic buttons, but with old-fashioned cloth buttons.

He was only in his forties, but he had a black and white goatee about ten centimeters long on his chin, and his face always had traces of smoke and fire.

If he only had a pole with a fortune-telling sign hanging on it, his temperament would be no different from that of a quack.

The entire Xiabei University knows that he is the mascot. Even many students who have graduated for many years can't help but think of a few scenes of Zhou Shuiyi when they recall their four years of college life.

Students of Xiabei University cannot tell how many national specialty majors their alma mater has, but everyone knows Zhou Shuiyi.

He is like a lazy old cat, always lingering in the nest of Xiabei University.

Then how can such a person become a professor?

Who told Zhou Shuiyi to study liberal arts? (To be precise, Zhou Shuiyi studied computer science for his undergraduate degree, and traditional philosophy for his master's and doctoral degrees.)
In the early years, many students at Xiabei University were indignant about this. They felt that the existence of people like Zhou Shuiyi was the greatest insult to knowledge.

They did make a fuss, but in that era when the Internet was not well developed, their fuss could not make much splash.

Many of my former students would say this even when they graduated: Information will become more and more developed in the future, and Zhou Shuiyi cannot hide here forever, he will be found out sooner or later.

Now many years have passed. Well, information has become more and more developed. But people's perception of Zhou Shuiyi has changed again.

Apart from the title of professor, Zhou Shuiyi doesn't care about anything else.

Not only does he not compete with colleagues for quotas, he is also very kind to students - almost no one has ever failed a course under him. As a result, students like to sign up for his elective courses.

Zhou Shuiyi mainly lectured on traditional Taoist philosophy such as Zhouyi. He focused on the Taoist concept of tranquility and inaction. It was up to the students to come or not. If they came, it was fate. If they didn’t come, it was also fate.

As a result, Zhou Shuiyi gradually became the de facto mascot of Xiabei University. If all the alumni of Xiabei University were asked to vote for a new logo, they would definitely vote to put Zhou Shuiyi on it.

This is how the world is, it's always changing.

As students read more and more about the world through the Internet, they became more tolerant of Zhou Shuiyi.

So much so that when classmates returned to school for reunions, Zhou Shuiyi was the teacher who was invited to attend the most. No one else.

Later, the classmates gradually heard a rumor: It was said that Zhou Shuiyi's father was afraid that he would starve to death, so he found him a teaching position.

Of course, this process is completely legal and compliant in terms of procedures and is flawless.

Many students who returned to school many years later could not help but apologize to their teacher Zhou in their hearts, apologizing for their recklessness and impulsiveness. Because in this era where even shit, urine and fart can be used to write poetry, Teacher Zhou is definitely a rare clear stream.

On this day, Zhou Shuiyi came to the office as usual.

However, he never expected that a group of teachers from the School of Computer Science of his university were waiting for him.

The eyes of the people who gathered around were filled with passion, forming a sharp contrast with Zhou Shuiyi's indifference.

"Teacher Zhou, you are famous!"

"What Mr. Zhou?" someone next to him immediately retorted, "It's Professor Zhou."

Soon someone held up a cell phone to show Zhou Shuiyi a piece of news.

Zhou Shuiyi has an old-fashioned phone in his pocket that can only make calls. He has no interest in today's mobile Internet.

In order not to disappoint everyone's enthusiasm, Zhou Shuiyi adjusted his glasses and looked intently at the mobile phone screen in front of him.

[A professor at Longguk University applied Feng Shui to the field of AI, and was strongly forwarded by Musk! ]

"Professor Zhou, when did you get to know the world's richest man?"

"Yes, you actually combined Feng Shui with AI. That's amazing. Tell us about it."

. .

Zhou Shuiyi looked blank and thought for a long time, "Who is Musk?"

"Ah?" Everyone was puzzled. "We have all seen your paper. It was the paper you published a few years ago. You were the first to propose the combination of Feng Shui and AI. Isn't it the email you sent to Musk?"

"I don't know what you're talking about."

Zhou Shuiyi felt that everyone was very noisy. After enduring for a long time, he turned around and fled the office.

After returning to his residence, he opened his notebook and found the paper he had published many years ago.

A rare smile appeared on his face, because someone finally realized the significance of Feng Shui to the world.

He almost forgot that his undergraduate major was computer science, and the original intention of writing that paper was to try to use computers to interpret Feng Shui from the perspective of AI.

But Zhou Shuiyi obviously did not make sense.

But now someone has picked up the fragments in the corner of his memory. He is naturally very happy.
-
After Musk posted that message, and after everyone realized that the Feng Shui parameters used by the Feng Shui AI model naturally took astronomical factors into consideration, their curiosity became uncontrollable.

So naturally, some people would look through the major international paper repositories, and naturally they would come across Zhou Shuiyi's paper in the corner.

The number of readers of that paper several years after it was published will not be as high as the number of readers it is in one minute now.

Since Zhou Shuiyi's paper was the first to mention Feng Shui and AI, he naturally attracted attention.

There are many young people in Longguo waiting to publish papers. This topic, which was chosen by the leaders of the science and technology community and has exploded in traffic at the moment, naturally attracted everyone's attention.

At this time, many teachers at Xiabei University hoped that Zhou Shuiyi could help recommend their papers.

Anyway, what the paper actually talks about is secondary; what matters most is whether it can attract attention.

Just like the earlier storm about chatGPT, a second storm about Feng Shui is brewing in the AI community across the Pacific Ocean.

Some people in the AI community in Longguo even shouted a slogan: To protect the inheritance of our ancestors, we must take the lead in the application of Feng Shui and AI.

Zhou Shuiyi's life was about to become less peaceful.

Lin Yuan, who was hiding behind the scenes, was trembling with fear. He had only used the system to cheat, but how could he have caused such a commotion in the international AI community?

According to this line of thought, everything related to nature can be put into the mold of Feng Shui.

Lin Yuan doesn't have time to care about all this now. He has to take advantage of this momentum to quickly escape from the group.
-
By the way, there is a country that is very sad. That is Bharat Elephant Brother.

Because the email forwarded by Musk contained a lot of data about Bharat. The email listed in detail the country's rocket launch records, which could be called a large fireworks show.

What made the citizens of Bharat even more angry was that the email even pointed out that Bharat's previous lunar probe actually failed to land because the time when Bharat launched the probe was extremely unlucky, and their country's current technological strength could not overcome this feng shui debuff.

This was actually Lin Yuan's deliberate act. He deliberately added data about the country of Barat in the email he sent in order to increase its spread. Because if international news is related to this country, it could turn into a comedy moment in a minute.

The Bharat Embassy in the Eagle Country even issued a public protest statement, asking Musk to delete the post and apologize for his prejudice against Bharat. Otherwise, it would affect Tesla's investment in Bharat.

Lao Ma was also very helpful. He directly replied to the other party's embassy with a message on the X platform.

[Look, that's Tesla's Gigafactory.]

The accompanying picture shows a wasteland covered with weeds, with no trace of a factory at all.

Lin Yuan also saw the reply from Lao Ma. After Lin Yuan checked some information, he understood Lao Ma's sarcasm - for eight years, Tesla owners who ordered Tesla in Bharat have not received their cars because the country's tariffs are too expensive, forcing Lao Ma to build a factory first.

Building a factory? Do you dare to invest in Brother Xiang's company?
Haha~~
