神经网络科学研究中心。Standsis glancing right and leftin the hallSurrott, the expressionappears the slightlysomeunnaturalcrampedness.
站在大厅里左顾右盼着的萨罗特,表情显得稍微有些不自然的局促。Thiscrampedness is not only nervewordsandonegroup of people who wear the white coatcombinesomewhatto be together dazzling , because the makings of hiswhole personandhereis incompatible.
这种局促不仅仅是神经这个单词和一群穿着白大褂的人组合到一起有些刺眼,更是因为他整个人的气质都和这里格格不入。Whywill appearas forhimhere......
至于他为什么会出现在这里……Thiswas a long story.
这就说来话长了。Sinceleaves the hometownfrom US to Holland after dejected, put down the academic honorbenefits of rank and salaryimpetuous, is beingSurrott of variousresearchwith the mentality of partlyliving in seclusion, the experience when is relying ononcewithProfessorlandcooperatesgains, insteadmadea series ofprominent resultsin the graphenedomain, inindustryinbecomes the expert who at leastcanbe remembered the name.
自从心灰意冷地离开美国返回荷兰的家乡之后,放下了功名利禄的浮躁、怀着半隐居的心态做着各种各样研究的萨罗特,凭借着曾经和陆教授合作时积累的经验,反而在石墨烯领域做出来了一系列的突出成果,在业内成为了一位至少能被人记住名字的牛人。Suchresultis unexpectedhe himself, the time to all kinds of the award itemsandoffertohimflying, suddenlyactuallymakeshimsomewhathelpless.
这样的结果连他自己都始料未及,以至于对各种各样的奖项和offer向他飞来的时候,一时间其实让他有些不知所措。AfterwardCornell Universitysent in the mailtohimtwice, promised30 millionUS dollars.
后来康奈尔大学两次向他发来了邮件,许诺了3000万美元的。However, had hadby the experience that fbiwalks, has madehimthoroughbe disappointedaboutthatcountry, withoutwantsthento declinethatoffer.
不过,曾经有过被fbi找上门来的经历,已经让他对那个国家彻底失望了,没有多想便回绝掉了那张offer。Although the academic circle of Europeis filling the lethargicauraeverywhere, more and moresaw that rarely the youngfresh bloodsupplements, buthefeels, here was still goodplace that was engaged in the academic research.
虽然欧洲的学术界到处都弥漫着暮气沉沉的气息,越来越难得见到年轻的新鲜血液补充进来,但就他个人感受而言,这里仍然是个从事学术研究的好地方。Twodays ago, hefromAmsterdamgoes toGenevato attend the academic conference the time, suddenlyreceived more than 30years of the phone call that an old friend who does not have the relationmakes, said that the plandemonstrates an astonishingthingtohim.
就在两天前,他从阿姆斯特丹前往日内瓦参加学术会议的时候,忽然接到了一个三十多年没联系的老朋友打来的电话,说打算向他展示一个惊人的东西。Therefore, hethenstands here now.
于是,他现在便站在了这里。Whenhehesitatesmust the old friendtelephones, together the friendlysound, fromone side of hallcorridortohimpassed on.
就在他犹豫着要不要给老朋友打个电话的时候,一道热情的声音,从大厅走廊的一侧向他传了过来。„Welcome! Myold friend, youcamefinally! Imaywait foryousome little time.”
“欢迎!我的老朋友,你终于来了!我可等了你好一会儿了。”Surrottlooksin the direction that the soundconveys, sees onlyonefatand in October/ten monthsis pregnant the old person, hairalmostmustfall out or off entirely, is smilingis extending the right hand, welcomedtohim.
萨罗特朝着声音传来的方向看去,只见一位胖的和十月怀胎似的、头发几乎要掉光的老人,正满脸笑容地伸着右手,向他这边迎了上来。Diligentlythisthatname in faceandmemory to number, Surrottis suppressingto the curiosity that thisfellowencounteredfor these years, grippedhisright handto shakeshaking.
努力将这张脸和记忆中的那个名字对上号,萨罗特强忍着对这家伙这几年来遭遇的好奇,握住他的右手晃了晃。„Fortunate meetingfortunate meeting, said that...... wedid havedozensyearsnot to see?”
“幸会幸会,说起来……咱们有几十年没见过了吧?”„Accurateis37years,”memoryoutstandingas always, was like the school daysinitially, ProfessorMeieresmiles, loosenedhishandto continue, „seemed like, sinceIstartedtransferredto study the biology the time, we were very difficultto see.”
“准确的来说是三十七年,”记忆力一如既往的优秀,就和当初学生时代一样,米埃尔教授爽朗一笑,松开了他的手继续说,“好像是从我开始转去研究生物学的时候,咱们就很难见到了。”Surrott: „...... ActuallyIam not very clearyouroperation, youdivision/discipline that gave uponehaving boundless prospects.”
萨罗特:“……其实我一直不是很明白你的操作,你放弃了一门前途无量的学科。”„Aren't yousame? Gave up the computer, jumped incompared withbiologicalbig holebiggermaterial science.”
“你不也是一样吗?放弃了计算机,跳进了比生物这个大坑更大的材料学。”Surrott'seyebrowtwitched, coughedto saylightly.
萨罗特的眉毛抽搐了一下,轻咳了一声说道。„Filled all kinds ofaccidents/surprises......, moreoverIdiscovered,compared with the computer, material scienceis more suitableI.”
“这其中充满了各种各样的意外……而且我发现,比起计算机,材料学更适合我。”„Iam also same, the lifealwaysfills all kinds ofaccidents/surprises. Howeverwas also lucky the computeris my firstspecialty, thismademeprobably be blessed by Godwhen the researchneural networkrelatedtopic......”patsunder the arm of old friendwith a smile, Meieregave the hand signal of invitationtohim, „did not chat, camewithme. Ihave said that canleadyouto look at an astonishingthing.”
“我也一样,人生总是充满了各种各样的意外。不过也多亏了计算机是我的第一专业,这让我在研究神经网络相关的课题时如有神助……”笑着拍了下老朋友的胳膊,米埃尔对他做了个请的手势,“不闲扯了,跟我来吧。我说过,会带你看个惊人的东西。”OncewhenUniversity of Amsterdamwent study, twopeoplereadwas the information engineeringis specialized. After Surrottrose the master, transferredCornell University, bumped intohispitfatherteacher there, finallybecame a materialdogmuddleheadedat your convenience.
曾经在阿姆斯特丹大学就读的时候,两个人读的都是信息工程专业。后来萨罗特升上硕士之后,就转去了美国康奈尔大学,在那里碰到了他的坑爹导师,最后稀里糊涂地就便成了一名材料狗。Is goodturns over to the pitfatherbecause ofhisteacherpitfather, manyhelpedhimget so far as a position of instructor, butSurrottwas not a fuel-efficientlamp, has not stayedinCornell Universityhonestlydoesacademic, butranSilicon Valley of West coast, depended onhitsedge ballpackingto come out the title of Cornell Universityprofessor, flickered a investmentto solve the fundsproblemactually, but alsomade a ownlaboratoryinSilicon Valley......, althoughwas givento purchasebyLu Zhoufinally.
好在他的导师坑爹归坑爹,多少还是帮他弄到了一个讲师的位置,而萨罗特自己也不是一个省油的灯,没有老老实实呆在康奈尔大学搞学术,而是跑去了西海岸的硅谷,靠着打擦边球包装出来康奈尔大学教授的头衔,硬是忽悠到了一笔投资解决了经费问题,还在硅谷弄出来了一间属于自己的实验室……虽然最后被陆舟给收购了。Heacknowledged,beforehandtrulylike the mouthfulrunningtrain, exaggeratesin the issue of minor details, as well asexploits the loopholes in rule, but has no recoursebutevery so often.
他承认,以前的自己确实喜欢满嘴跑火车,在细枝末节的问题上夸大其词,以及钻规则上的空子,但很多时候都是迫不得已而为之。Let alonewhoisn'tthis?
何况谁不是这样呢?As for the present, hehas started with a clean slate, no longerdidthesematters.
至于现在,他早就已经改过自新,不再干那些事了。Does not know that ishismisconceptionanything, Surrottalwaysthought that on this Meiere'soldschoolmate, smelled the familiarflavor......
只是不知道是他的错觉还是什么,萨罗特总觉得在这位米埃尔的老同学身上,嗅到了熟悉的味道……Is exactly the same as severalyears ago simply.
简直和几年前的自己如出一辙。Really, whenhefollowedthisProfessorMeiereto come to an office, looks that hetook uponepack of times of the tablecornerfeelingis the hotpaper, Surrottgawkedslightly, immediatelygot angry.
果然,当他跟着这位米埃尔教授来到了一间办公室,看着他从桌角拿起了一叠摸着还是热乎的论文的时候,萨罗特微微一愣,顿时怒了。„Do youletarethis that Ilook?”
“你让我看的就是这个?”Meiere: „Thisis the paper of Dr.z! Youshouldhearthatname, oncesaved the man in the world.”
米埃尔:“这可是z博士的论文!你应该听说过那个名字吧,曾经拯救了世界的男人。”Surrott: „I mean, youmademerideonehour of trainto rush toyourherefromGeneva, tolook atonetome, so long asmounted the paper that arxivspecialcandownload?”
萨罗特:“我的意思是,你让我从日内瓦坐了一个小时的火车赶到你这儿,就是为了给我看一篇只要登上arxiv特么就能下载到的论文?”As ifsimplyis affectedwith the anger that the spittlefliestogetherhorizontallyby that ProfessorMeieresaidwith the exaggeratingtone.
似乎根本没有被那随着唾沫星子一起横飞的愤怒影响到,米埃尔教授用夸张的语气说道。„, The friend of mine, you do not knowthispaperrecentlyin the biologists...... ourneural networkstudiedinthisdirectionparticularlyactuallyhow...... stirhow!”
“哦,我的朋友,你不知道这篇论文最近在生物学界……尤其是我们神经网络研究这个方向上究竟多么的……多么的轰动!”Surrottsaidpertinently: „Youneglected the key of issue!”
萨罗特一针见血道:“你忽略了问题的关键!”„Butourgrasps the key point!”Was startledSurrottwith the imposing mannerforcefully, ProfessorMeierewas pointing at the paper in hand, „is listening, wewere the scholars, neglected the things of theseminor details, wasn't the key of issuethispaper?”
“但我们的抓住重点!”用气势强行怔住了萨罗特,米埃尔教授指着手中的论文,“听着,我们是学者,忽略掉这些细枝末节的东西吧,问题的关键难道不是这篇论文本身吗?”„Butyou......”
“可是你……”„Sufficed! Theseso-called‚, but’, after puttingweto win the Nobel prize, discussed.”
“够了!那些所谓的‘可是’,放到等我们拿到诺贝尔奖之后再去讨论吧。”wait, obviouslythis/shouldhaving a fit of temperisn'tI?等等,明明该发脾气的不是我吗?Howinsteadin the imposing manneractuallyto lose?
怎么反而气势上却输了?Was somewhat donebythisconditionhoodwinks, whenparticularlyNobel prizewordbythisfellowthrowing, made the attention of hiswhole personbe broughtinstantaneouslyleaning.
被这状况搞得有些蒙蔽,尤其是当诺贝尔奖这个词被这家伙给抛了出来,瞬间让他整个人的注意力都被带偏了。„...... Nobel prize?”
“……诺贝尔奖?”„Yes, Nobel prize! Thisisoneabsolutetouches the Nobel prizemedalhopefully the research results! Itsgreatis not inferiorinVon Neumannregarding the influence of computer......”
“是的,诺贝尔奖!这是一项绝对有希望触摸诺贝尔奖奖牌的研究成果!它的伟大丝毫不逊色于冯・诺依曼对于计算机的影响……”Brokethisfellowmouthfulto break wind, Surrottis pinching the bitterforehead, said.
打断了这家伙满嘴放屁,萨罗特捏着酸涩的眉心,开口说道。„But the author of thispaperis...... Dr.z, whatrelationsalsohaswithyou? Whatrelationsalsohaswithme?”
“可是这篇论文的作者是……z博士,和你又有什么关系?和我又有什么关系?”«Neural signalAndElectrical signalTransformTranslationFrame» that
《神经信号与电信号转换的编译框架》Thisnamesounds is actually very interesting.
这名字听起来倒是挺有意思的。
If Dr.z who thatoncesolvedsparks/Marsbacteriacrisis, wantsto come the content should not be the ordinarything.
如果是那个曾经解决掉火星细菌危机的z博士,想来内容应该也不是什么平凡的东西。But the issueis......
但问题是……Whatrelationsthisand does hehave?
这和他有什么关系?Heis onlymaterial science of researchgraphene.
他只是个研究石墨烯的材料学家而已。Sawconfusion in thisfriendeyes, ProfessorMeiereansweredtirelesslypatiently.
看出了这位朋友眼中的困惑,米埃尔教授不厌其烦地耐心解释道。„Keyis, could not only win the Nobel prizebythispaper, even if the Turing Awardmissed a pointslightly. Butheactuallyprovided a possibility of prizeforbiologicalneural networkdirection! Do youunderstandmymeaning? The Nobel prizeonlyprincipleis the size of achievement, butnowwemosthave a headacheis the crucialissueis solved, the entireresearchby the cardin the bottleneck, could not be made the enoughprominentachievement.”
“关键就在于,仅凭借这篇论文是获得不了诺贝尔奖的,哪怕图灵奖都稍微差了一点。但他却为生物神经网络这个方向提供了一个获奖的可能!你明白我的意思吗?诺贝尔奖唯一的原则是成就的大小,而我们现在最头疼的就是关键性的问题没得到解决,整个研究都被卡在瓶颈上,做不出足够突出的成果。”„Butnow, the situationhad the favorable turn!”
“但现在,情况出现了转机!”„Inthispaperfactorregardingbiologicalneural network the signal propagation and forming process of visualwait of gave a brand-newexplanation, andproposed the neural signal and electrical signalinterconversionproceduraltranslationframe. Thisworkabsolutelyisgroundbreaking, youknow, oncethistechnologyis completed, whatmeans?”
“这篇论文中对于生物神经网络的信号传递与视觉等等因素的形成过程给出了一种全新的解释,并且提出了神经信号与电信号互相转换的程序性的编译框架。这项工作绝对是开创性的,你知道一旦这项技术完成,将意味着什么吗?”Listened toMeiere saying that Surrottwhileis reading the paper in hand, is frowningto ponder overto say.
一边听米埃尔说着,萨罗特一边翻看着手中的论文,皱着眉头思忖道。„...... Means the thing in science fictionmovie to become the reality? Iremember that probablycalledReady Player One.”
“……意味着科幻电影里的东西能变成现实?我记得好像是叫头号玩家吧。”Meieresaidloudly: „It is not thattype of superficialthing, do youonlythink of the gameunexpectedly? WhatImustsayis a more stirringthing! Heevencanchangeourcognitionto the network! HoweverInowandyousaid that thisalsotooearly, in briefyouonlyneedto know that thiswill beonewill change the technology of the world to be OK!”
米埃尔大声说道:“不是那种肤浅的东西,你居然只想到游戏?我要说的是更加震撼人心的东西!他甚至能改变我们对网络的认知!不过我现在和你说这个还太早了,总之你只需要知道这是一件将改变世界的技术就可以了!”„Youhad not replied that mypreviousissue,”aboutinbeginning the paper, Surrottlooks that hecontinues saying that „, therefore, whatrelationsthisandIalsodo have?”
“你没有回答我先前的问题,”合上了手中的论文,萨罗特看着他继续说道,“所以,这和我又有什么关系?”Meieresaidearnestly: „Youbelieve that thisis a technology of changeworld?”
米埃尔认真说道:“你相信这是一项改变世界的技术吗?”Surrott: „......, becausewasyousaid that thereforeIbelievedhalf.”
萨罗特:“……因为是你说的,所以我信一半。”Meiere: „Thanks, unexpectedlyhalf! Butevenonly hashalf, supposed that thistechnologyreallycanrealize, askey man who promoting the final outcomeis born, youthought that Nobeldoes appraisecommitteeto considerournames?”
米埃尔:“谢谢,居然还有一半!但就算只有一半,假设这项技术真的能够实现,作为推动最终结果诞生的关键人物,你觉得诺贝尔评奖委员会不会考虑我们的名字吗?”Surrott: „Nobeldoes not seemto calculate the prize.”
萨罗特:“诺贝尔好像没有计算奖。”„Butthere is the prize for medicineand a chemistry prize! Thinksto look that MeiereandhisfriendSurrott...... have the research results of Dr.z, inpromoting the biologicalneural networkresearch, and nervous systemandin the research of computer systemdockingmade the brilliant contribution, issues the Nobel Prize in Chemistry...... to consider that speciallyDr.zis not willingto disclose the namemostly, the bonuswill be divided equallybyus.”
“但是有医学奖和化学奖!想想看吧,米埃尔和他的朋友萨罗特……还有z博士的研究成果,在推动生物神经网络研究,以及神经系统与电脑系统对接的研究上做出了杰出贡献,特此颁发诺贝尔化学奖……考虑到z博士多半不愿透露姓名,奖金将由我们平分。”Clears throat, ProfessorMeiere the expressionextended the right handseriously.
清了清嗓子,米埃尔教授表情郑重地伸出了右手。„Mysinceresends out the invitationtoyou, can myold friend...... joinus?”
“我真诚的向您发出邀请,我的老朋友……要加入我们吗?”ThistimeSurrottwas silent.
这次萨罗特沉默了。Althoughhas been far away from the vanity fair, butNobel prizemedal that is symbolizing the academic circlehighesthonor......
虽然已经远离了名利场,但诺贝尔奖这枚象征着学术界最高荣誉的奖牌……To be honest, heisquiteexcited.
老实说,他还是相当心动的。
After silentprobablyfiveminutes, hesays.
沉默了大概五分钟之后,他开口说道。„...... Iconsidered.”
“……我考虑考虑。”Hearsthese words, on the face of ProfessorMeiereshowed a smiling facefinally.
听到这句话,米埃尔教授的脸上终于露出了一丝笑容。Althoughoneselfthisold friendhas not complieddirectly, butthatexpressionhas obviously revealedhisinnermost feelingsactivityvery much......
虽然自己这位老朋友并没有直接答应,但那表情已经很明显地揭示出了他的内心活动……Regardingolive branch that oneselftoss, hisheart movement.
对于自己抛来的橄榄枝,他心动了。
After ProfessorSurrottleaves, ProfessorMeiereexcitedis pacingin the laboratoryback and forth.
萨罗特教授离开之后,米埃尔教授兴奋的在实验室里来回踱步着。„Graphenedirectionshouldnot have the issue, the expert in nerveconnectionmaterialhas, makingmethinkalsoto missanything...... to be right!”
“石墨烯这个方向应该是没问题的,神经接口材料方面的专家已经有了,让我想想还差什么……对了!”
A thoughtbravedfrom the headsuddenly, ProfessorMeiereeyeimmediatelyonebright, hit a soundto refer.
一个念头忽然从脑袋里冒了出来,米埃尔教授眼睛顿时一亮,打了个响指。Nothinghesitant, before heran up to the computertablesat down, turns on the browserto inputoneline of websites, thenknocked the carriage return.
没有任何犹豫,他跑到了电脑桌前坐下,打开浏览器输入了一行网址,然后敲下了回车。Quick, quitehadlast centuryantiquestylebbs, mappedhisview.
很快,一个颇有上世纪老古董风格的bbs,映入了他的眼帘。Hereis a part of darknet.
这里是暗网的一部分。Asbymajorsearch engines the dark corners of databaseincluding, thisglobalactiveuserwas not addedless than10,000people of forums, is actually acting asin the Internet the role of tradecollection and distribution center.
作为不被各大搜索引擎的数据库收录的阴暗角落,这个全球活跃用户加起来不到1万人的论坛,却充当着互联网中贸易集散地的角色。Peopletradewith the Bitcoin, so long asisall that the Internetcanaccomplish, no matterlegitimateis illegal, herecanpost a reward.
人们用比特币交易,只要是互联网能办到的一切,不管是合法还是不合法的,在这里都能进行悬赏。
After investigating the mailboxandtelephone of line of informationDr.zissue, ProfessorMeiereendures the meatpainto hang a Bits'srewardto come up.
将调查z博士的邮箱和电话这行信息发布出去之后,米埃尔教授忍着肉痛挂了一个比特的报酬上去。Onhisface of being of great successshows a smiling face, switched off the computerrapidly, backward by chair.
大功告成的他脸上露出一丝笑容,迅速关掉了电脑,向后靠在了椅子上。Nowneedshimto do, conscientiouslystudiesinthatpaper the hugeinformation content, thenwaited for the mailbox and the telephone numberDr.zappearsinhismailboxis enough.
现在需要他做的,就是认真研究那篇论文中庞大的信息量,然后等待z博士的邮箱和电话号码出现在他的邮箱里就足够了。Even ifthisDr.zneverleaves behindowncontact methodin the network, in the issueregardingpaperstillneverreacts, butin the place of darknetnumerous strong competitors, wantsto come should not to have the matter that thesehackerscannot accomplish.
即便这位z博士从来不在网络上留下自己的联系方式,对于论文中的问题也从来不做回应,但在暗网这种高手如云的地方,想来应该没有那些黑客办不到的事情。Althoughmakessome is not possibly polite, butall theseforscience.
虽然这么做可能有些不礼貌,但这一切都是为了科学。Ifcanrecruitinhisresearch teamDr.z, hisresearchwill be without a doubt twice the result with half the effort.
如果能把z博士招募到他的研究团队里,毫无疑问他的研究将事半功倍。Believesbyowneloquence, inchattedseveralafteroneself, thatDr.zwill certainly feel the heart movementto the condition that oneselfwill pledge......
相信以自己的口才,在和自己聊上几句之后,那位z博士一定会对自己开出的条件感到心动……
