Huayu 2021: Isn’t he in the technology field?

Chapter 221 The Shocked Rabbit, the Uneasy Puppy

5:30 pm, evening rush hour.

Within half an hour of Jiang Qing's public lecture ending, the internet's public opinion field experienced a nuclear-level chain reaction.

Three of the top ten trending topics on Weibo were marked with an orange "hot" icon, server programmers were squatting in the server room complaining while expanding capacity, and the real-time forum was refreshing with tens of thousands of discussions every minute.

Under the trending topic "Jiang Qing robot's Northeastern dialect recognition dilemma", tech blogger @AIObservationBureau captured a nine-grid GIF of Jiang Qing imitating the confused state of a robotic arm.

"The way the robot's CPU overloads when it hears the hourly call is just like my Southern roommate who can't understand Northeastern dialect (laughs so hard)."

The caption quickly garnered 2 likes, and the comment section was flooded with dialect references from netizens across the country.

The top-ranked reply was: "I suggest Jiang Shen give Little Tiger a 'What are you looking at?' voice pack (doge)."

Under the hashtag "Chen Duling appears at HKUST lecture", entertainment account @StarNewsOctopus released a blurry video of her appearance.

As Chen Duling stood on tiptoe to look around, her baseball cap was knocked off, and her glasses slipped off her nose. Just then, Jiang Qing happened to cast a glance at her from the podium.

A commenter with a keen eye analyzed the scene frame by frame: "In that 0.7-second eye contact, Jiang's Adam's apple moved three times! Twice more than when he answered technical questions!"

The hashtag "Yan Zhi You Li" gained 1.7 new followers in just half an hour, and its popularity soared, heading straight for the top spot "Ming Yun Xun Huan".

"Go for it, Yan Zhi You Li! This is what a truly evenly matched couple looks like!"

"Dudu's outfit today is so cute, especially the bewildered look when the microphone was shoved into her face, she looks just like a shocked rabbit, hahaha..."

"You can tell Dudu was surprised too, but that just proves it's fate! There's no escaping it, hehe!"

"Dudu looks so cute in glasses! He looks less aloof than usual, and so adorable."

"I think Jiang Shen's eyes are so affectionate when he looks at Dudu! Even though Dudu is older than him, it's so sweet!"

"It's a bit like a girlfriend who sneaks away and is discovered by her boyfriend, who is both surprised and delighted."

"Saying they are evenly matched is a bit of a stretch. Dudu and Jiang Shen are indeed incomparable, but that's not how you judge relationships. To be honest, if I had to choose one among the female celebrities in the entertainment industry, Dudu would undoubtedly be the most suitable for Jiang Shen."

"I second that! They're both science students. One is a double PhD from the University of Science and Technology of China, known as the 'God of Math in China,' and the other is a campus beauty from Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, one of the 'Seven Sons of National Defense.' This strong couple is the most exciting!"

"Their conversation seems to have a story behind it! Is the person who sent the things to Jiang Shen's lab Dudu?"

"Of course! So they've been in contact all along!"

……

The fans in the "Yan Zhi You Li" super topic were celebrating like it was Chinese New Year. Several of Chen Duling's biggest fans even took the lead in shipping the couple in the super topic, exclaiming, "This brother-in-law is the best!"

Financial blogger @TechGoldfinger shared a screenshot of a WeChat chat log showing Jiang Qing's public lecture projected onto a screen. The Shiba Inu emoji in Lei Jun's chat box was turned into an emoji and widely circulated.

Xiaomi's official Weibo account playfully commented: "Lei Jun said he wanted a robot that can make coffee, so we worked overnight to develop the Mi Coffee Machine 2.0 (Husky)."

TikTok tech influencer @GeekAwei recreated a famous scene from a lecture using the Yushu robot dog.

After playing the voice command "order fries on the hour" to the robot dog, he programmed it to spin in place, captioning it "Looks like the kid can't do it anymore," and it garnered 98 likes in half an hour.

The comments section instantly turned into a dialect teaching session.

The top-rated comment was: "Next time, teach it to say 'The curb is scratched!'"

Film editing expert @SugarOverStandard cross-cut footage of a debate competition from five years ago with footage of an afternoon open class.

When Jiang Qing said "Yan Zhi You Li" during the debate, the tips of her ears turned slightly red. During the open class, the small gesture of Jiang Qing unconsciously twirling her pen when she looked at Chen Duling was highlighted in red.

Some netizens analyzed frame by frame: "Jiang Qing's walking pace towards Chen Duling was faster than at any other time during the open class, which shows her subconscious impatience!"

How to evaluate Jiang Qing's "Evolution of Human-Machine Collaboration Scenarios?" trending on Zhihu's hot topics list has sparked heated discussions among many industry leaders.

A lengthy article of over 10,000 words by Zhang Kai, a researcher at the MIT Robotics Laboratory (verified information: postdoctoral fellow in humanoid robotics), has attracted significant attention.

At the end of his analysis post, he wrote: "Jiang Qing's idea of ​​combining neuromorphic computing with behavioral economics is extremely innovative. If the emotion mapping algorithm he mentioned is implemented, it may break through the narrow definition of the Turing test."

The answer quickly earned a professional recognition badge.

A veteran entertainment reporter has revealed the timeline of Chen Duling's arrival in Luyang: "Chen Duling was still on set the night before last. According to flight records, she should have rushed to the airport before dawn the next day to fly to Luyang. This isn't her usual work schedule; it's more like..."

The ellipsis at the end of the answer sparked 3.2 speculations, and the top-rated comment resonated with many netizens: "The love of a top student requires mutual effort, while the love of a poor student can only rely on Meituan delivery (facepalm)."

The comments section below this post was instantly flooded with a uniform "That's heartbreaking!"

Jiang Qing's remarks in his public lecture had a more dramatic impact on the industry, especially as many founders of robotics companies reposted the lecture videos, using them to tout the future blue ocean market of robotics in an attempt to attract more investors.

After all, the robotics industry sounds very sophisticated, but its actual progress is slow. This is due to both technical difficulties and excessive financial investment, which many companies simply cannot withstand.

During dinner time, Tang Xiao'ou, founder of SenseTime, reposted a clip from an open course and posted on Weibo: "Five years ago, when we were deriving formulas on the floor at CVPR, Jiang Qing said that he wanted to enable AI to understand human emotions. Now he is gradually realizing this goal."

HW's Zhou Bin posted a screenshot of Jiang Qing's email rejecting their offer in 2016 on Weibo: "Back then, I thought this kid might become the next star in the tech world. Now he has gone even further than I expected. I look forward to the day when Wuwen and Yushu join hands to make China Robot surpass Boston Dynamics and stand at the top of the world."

Ten minutes after posting the update, Wang Xingxing appeared in the comments section and replied online: "President Jiang keeps delaying the progress of my general-purpose robot model (crying)"

The magazine "Science Fiction World" launched a call for short stories based on the emotional robot proposed by Jiang Qing, which received a positive response from science fiction fans.

A makeup tutorial by a Xiaohongshu beauty blogger, "Chen Duling's Fishy Glasses Girl," has become a trending topic, with the key point being that "the frames should slide down to the tip of the nose so that there is a hazy beauty when you look up."

Someone in the comments section lamented: "After finishing the drawing, it looks like an eye exam. If Jiang Shen saw it, he'd probably have to get me glasses overnight!"

Fashion accounts have revealed that Chen Duling's gray sweatshirt is a limited edition from a trendy brand, and it sold out across the entire internet in less than three hours.

The brand's official account humbly stated: "We are currently contacting Ms. Chen Duling to discuss a collaboration."

Stock market predictions suggest that the artificial intelligence sector will collectively rise when the market opens tomorrow, with Unitree Technology concept stocks expected to surge.

Rumors are circulating in investment circles that investment institutions led by Sequoia Capital and SoftBank will focus on the field of artificial intelligence, with the robotics industry being the primary target.

What truly shook the industry was a special report on CCTV's news program at 7 p.m.

The well-dressed female host spoke passionately to the camera: "This generation of young people has taken scientific idol worship to a new level. When knowledge becomes an idol, and when rationality collides with romance, what we see is not only a frenzy of trending topics, but also a vivid testament to the nation's confidence in science and technology."

The scene cuts to Jiang Qing's profile as he adjusts the robotic arm, with the background sound gradually increasing.

"As this young entrepreneur said, the future is here, and we must seize it."

At Hengdian World Studios, on the set of the drama "Protecting the Heart," at 8:17 PM, Zhou Ye took out his phone from his pocket for the nth time.

While touching up her makeup, she unlocked her screen, and the word "hot" on Weibo's trending topics made her squint.

"Yezi, if you're really worried, call President Jiang and ask about the situation. Otherwise, it's not a good idea to keep not being able to get into the zone."

Zhang Wen walked to her side and, seeing that there was no one around, whispered a suggestion.

Zhou Ye didn't reply, mechanically refreshing the "Yan Zhi You Li" super topic page with his thumb.

She has played the 0.7-second slow-motion shot of Jiang Qing walking towards Chen Duling in the pinned video fourteen times.

Don't ask why I remember it so clearly, I just remember it!

"Prepare for Game 23!"

As the stagehands were calling out to people through a megaphone, Zhou Ye was holding his phone up to his face, zooming in on Chen Duling's micro-expressions.

The stuntman stepped forward to help her fasten her seatbelt, but she suddenly looked up, her expression turned serious, and she blurted out a sentence out of nowhere.

"Dude, do you think all STEM guys are obsessed with the campus belle?"

The wire harness operator's hand trembled, and the safety buckle clicked into place.

"What?"

"nothing!"

Zhou Ye tossed his coat to his assistant and muttered something as he was suspended in mid-air by wires.

"What's so difficult about being a bespectacled girl? I'll do it tomorrow!"

Distraction resulted in losing control of his body, and he almost knocked over the three-meter-high bronze lamp stand.

The director behind the monitor shouted as he stood up.

"Yezi, what's wrong with you today? We've already done this scene eight times!"

"Excuse me, director, I'd like to request another five minutes of rest to regroup!"

She lifted her skirt and ran wildly towards the rest area, the tassels on her ancient-style hair bun swinging like wind chimes in a downpour.

Hou Minghao, who was waiting in the wings, jokingly teased her.

"Is Teacher Zhou in a hurry to charge his phone?"

Zhou Ye didn't respond; he squatted on the ground and started typing rapidly.

Delete the line "You said last time you'd take me to see the robot dog at Unitree Technology when you had time," replace it with "Teacher Chen Duling looks pretty in glasses," delete that too, and finally send a Samoyed puffing-up emoji.

Half an hour later, her phone suddenly vibrated while she was biting a straw and poking at the tapioca pearls in her milk tea.

The moment the video invitation popped up, she was so startled that she spat out her mouth, and half a pearl flew out with a "whoosh" and landed precisely on Hou Minghao's newly styled hair.

"Professor Zhou Ye!"

Hou Minghao turned his head with the pearls on his head, looking speechless.

"Your skill with hidden weapons has improved!!"

"sorry Sorry!"

In her haste to hang up, she accidentally pressed the answer button instead.

Jiang Qing's face suddenly filled the screen, and in the background, you could hear Chen Duling's highly recognizable voice saying, "It's a bit spicy, I'll go get a glass of lemonade."

Before he could speak, Zhou Ye slammed his phone face down on the milk tea.

The liquid from the bubble tea seeped into the cuffs of her costume, and in a fit of despair, she grabbed her phone.

"I...I...we're starting to film here!"

"On your sleeve."

"This is a newly designed dyeing technique for water sleeves!"

She was spouting nonsense with her neck stiff when she caught a glimpse of Zhang Wen rushing over with a tissue in her peripheral vision. In a panic, she shoved her phone into the hands of a passing stagehand.

"Brother Wang, please help me get it!"

The stagehand stared blankly at the suddenly black screen of her phone, looking at her and then back at the phone, completely clueless about what was going on.

Ten minutes later, fans discovered that Zhou Ye had posted a picture of an empty milk tea cup in the super topic, with the caption: "Too sweet, bad review!"

This move sparked a flurry of speculation among fans, and combined with today's trending topics, the reason seems quite obvious.

Soon, "Zhou Ye is too sweet" became a trending topic, sparking heated discussions among netizens.

On the other side, the Grand Hyatt Luyang.

Zhang Jingyi was sitting cross-legged on the bed, holding her phone. She had a green face mask on, only revealing her glasses, nose, and mouth, making it impossible to see her true face.

Even so, you could still tell she was unhappy from her pouting lips.

"After Dudu arrived, there wasn't a single word from her. She's a heartbreaker... no, a heartbreaker!"

"Hmph! Men really are all big pigs!"

The girl kept muttering to herself, while her phone screen displayed a photo of Jiang Qing and Chen Duling smiling at each other.

She naturally knew about Jiang Qing and Chen Duling's relationship long ago. Even though she always believed that she and Jiang Qing were destined to be together, she still knew the destructive power of a "white moonlight" (a romantic romantic relationship).

Dudu is great, of course. They got along well when they were at the school down the mountain, and even had a few meals together in private.

Even with Dudu, she wouldn't back down an inch.

Suddenly, a brilliant idea flashed into my mind.

The girl quickly opened the selfie app, zoomed in on her face, and pressed the shutter button. After examining herself carefully, she nodded in satisfaction, then opened the chat box and sent the photo to Jiang Qing without hesitation.

I'll scare you to death if you ignore me!
The Hulk strikes!
