Chapter 200, Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton
The West Lake in winter is still very beautiful, especially in the early morning when it snows. There are not many tourists in the scenic area, and the snowflakes decorate the quiet and crystal clear lake surface, making it look particularly beautiful.
"Wow, it's so beautiful!" Song Wan was barefoot, she opened the curtains and admired the beautiful scenery of the lake.
Jiang Hao, who was lying on the bed, also turned sideways and looked at the snow scene of West Lake outside the window.
This is the second winter that Jiang Hao and Song Wan have spent in Hangzhou.
Last winter, there was no snow in Hangzhou the entire winter. It always seemed like something was missing. Also, because Jiang Hao was used to the heating in the northern winter, he did not have a comfortable time in Hangzhou last winter.
Song Wan, like Jiang Hao, is from the north, so even though the villa has central air conditioning with constant temperature, she, like Jiang Hao, is not used to the winter in Hangzhou.
But this winter was not bad. Before winter, Jiang Hao and Song Wan's lakeside villa underwent a heating modification and floor heating was installed throughout the house.
Now with the unique snowy scenery of West Lake outside the window, Jiang Hao felt that this place was not bad.
As the urbanization process continues to accelerate, there is no longer much nostalgia for "home".
For Jiang Hao, the home where he has "roots" is still his hometown in the countryside. However, that hometown has changed beyond all recognition now, and both he and his parents are busy and seldom go home.
So now for Jiang Hao, wherever he goes and feels at ease, that is home.
While Jiang Hao and Song Wan were admiring the snow scenery of West Lake, the sun was setting in the beautiful country across the ocean.
At the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton University, a world-renowned institution of higher learning, two professors frowned as they looked at the progress report of the "Integration Project" uploaded from China.
"Why do I feel like something is wrong?"
The person who spoke was Professor Sylvia Frost, the first person in human history to win both the Abel Prize and the Turing Award.
He has made outstanding contributions in the fields of computational complexity theory, algorithms and optimization, randomness and cryptography, parallel and distributed computing, combinatorics and graph theory, and has also had an important influence in the intersection of theoretical computer science and mathematics and science.
Professor Sylvia Frost is also one of the academic hosts of the "Integration Project" of Wall Street International Capital. He is responsible for integrating the "Jiang Hao Language Basic Database Filling" subcontract projects transmitted back from China.
At the beginning, the arrogant Professor Sylvia Frost was very dismissive of this job. Computer science has already developed into a heavy mountain, and that yellow-skinned boy from the East could never create the "Five Finger Mountain" no matter how hard he tried.
But when Professor Sylvia Frost participated in a "premium edition" "JH. Bentley" car dismantling project, he was no longer arrogant at all. He was very anxious and even scared, because he saw that the mountain of computer science built on Western civilization and centered on English was collapsing.
Therefore, Professor Sylvia Frost is very concerned about this "integration project" of Wall Street.
That damn, stupid "Wall Street poison woman" has been advocating to ban this new computer language and even wanted to kill Jiang Hao.
Professor Sylvia Frost really hated this woman. She was also the mother of Jiang Hao's son. She couldn't wait to kill Jiang Hao and inherit his property.
And this woman is really stupid. In the face of new knowledge, wealth is worthless, and new knowledge cannot be stopped, and will not disappear because of the death of Jiang Hao.
Therefore, Professor Sylvia Frost was very concerned about this "integration project", but as the "integration project" continued to advance, Professor Sylvia Frost felt more and more that something was wrong. "That's right!" The person who responded to Professor Sylvia Frost was a white Harvard University mathematics professor sitting opposite him.
The white math professor continued in unfluent Chinese: "Jiang Hao Language Basic Database Filling. As the name suggests, this is just 'basic'."
“But we can’t stop!”
"His basic framework is so magnificent that I can't imagine how subversive his entire system will be. I always have a hunch that this new language logic is based on a huge new mathematical logic!"
"Oh my God! Damn it!" After the white professor finished speaking, Professor Sylvia Frost cursed fiercely, and then continued: "Why didn't he hold any academic conference? Doesn't he know that science has no borders?"
"Don't the Fields Medal in Mathematics and the Turing Award have any appeal to him?"
Professor Sylvia Frost continued, "If he made his academic work public, he would be the winner of the Nobel Prize in Economics, the Fields Medal in Mathematics, and the Turing Award. No other scholar in the world would be able to reach such a high level. But does he not think highly of it at all?"
"What the hell is he thinking?"
Then, Professor Sylvia Frost pointed to a pile of purely Chinese journals from various Chinese universities in front of him and complained, "And now you see, not only him and his students, but also the Chinese college students who participated in the 'Integration Project', published their papers in purely Chinese in their various university journals!"
"Damn it, take a look now. The most cited computer journals are all journals of Chinese universities. Those traditional SCI English journals in the computer field all have large Chinese citations!"
Professor Sylvia Frost complained angrily that Jiang Hao and the Chinese students' behavior of publishing papers in Chinese was really annoying, but they had no other choice.
Traditional computer languages were developed in Europe and the United States, and naturally were built in an English context. However, this new computer system is built and runs in a Chinese language environment, and can only publish papers in Chinese.
But for these foreigners, it is really a headache, just like the three Chinese characters "Wang Tingzheng" will appear in all subcontract projects.
"Damn it, don't they know that English is the universal academic language?" Professor Sylvia Frost cursed angrily.
After studying this new "Jiang Hao computer language" for so long, Professor Sylvia Frost was really a little overwhelmed.
If they want to understand this computer language, they have to read these papers. Even if they have a professional translation team, there is still a layer of separation between translation and many professional terms in these papers cannot be translated at all.
If they want to fully understand the author's thoughts, they must learn Chinese and understand the Chinese context, which is really a great torture for them.
The white professor sitting across from Professor Sylvia Frost said, “He wants to redefine a standard.”
"But what can we do?"
"His application has proven the superiority of his computer language. So even though we know that he is using our 'integration project' and our resources to improve his computer language foundation, we have no choice because we must complete it as soon as possible and catch up with him as soon as possible, so that we can surpass him and even get ahead of him!"
"Otherwise, we'll just have to keep following others!"
