Switzerland. 瑞士。 Neural network science research center. 神经网络科学研究中心。 Stands is glancing right and left in the hall Surrott, the expression appears the slightly some unnatural crampedness. 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。 This crampedness is not only nerve words and one group of people who wear the white coat combine somewhat to be together dazzling , because the makings of his whole person and here is 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。 Why will appear as for him here...... 至于他为什么会出现在这里…… This was a long story. 这就说来话长了。 Since leaves the hometown from US to Holland after dejected, put down the academic honor benefits of rank and salary impetuous, is being Surrott of various research with the mentality of partly living in seclusion, the experience when is relying on once with Professor land cooperates gains, instead made a series of prominent results in the graphene domain, in industry in becomes the expert who at least can be 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。 Such result is unexpected he himself, the time to all kinds of the award items and offer to him flying, suddenly actually makes him somewhat helpless. 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。 Afterward Cornell University sent in the mail to him twice, promised 30 million US 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 had by the experience that fbi walks, has made him thorough be disappointed about that country, without wants then to decline that offer. 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 Europe is filling the lethargic aura everywhere, more and more saw that rarely the young fresh blood supplements, but he feels, here was still good place 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。 Two days ago, he from Amsterdam goes to Geneva to attend the academic conference the time, suddenly received more than 30 years of the phone call that an old friend who does not have the relation makes, said that the plan demonstrates an astonishing thing to him. 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, he then stands here now. 于是,他现在便站在了这里。 When he hesitates must the old friend telephones, together the friendly sound, from one side of hall corridor to him passed 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! My old friend, you came finally! I may wait for you some little time.” “欢迎!我的老朋友,你终于来了!我可等了你好一会儿了。” Surrott looks in the direction that the sound conveys, sees only one fat and in October/ten months is pregnant the old person, hair almost must fall out or off entirely, is smiling is extending the right hand, welcomed to him. 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。 Diligently this that name in face and memory to number, Surrott is suppressing to the curiosity that this fellow encountered for these years, gripped his right hand to shake shaking. 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 meeting fortunate meeting, said that...... we did have dozens years not to see?” “幸会幸会,说起来……咱们有几十年没见过了吧?” Accurate is 37 years,” memory outstanding as always, was like the school days initially, Professor Meiere smiles, loosened his hand to continue, seemed like, since I started transferred to study the biology the time, we were very difficult to 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: „...... Actually I am not very clear your operation, you division/discipline that gave up one having 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 you same? Gave up the computer, jumped in compared with biological big hole bigger material 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's eyebrow twitched, coughed to say lightly. 萨罗特的眉毛抽搐了一下,轻咳了一声说道。 Filled all kinds of accidents/surprises......, moreover I discovered, compared with the computer, material science is more suitable I.” “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。” I am also same, the life always fills all kinds of accidents/surprises. However was also lucky the computer is my first specialty, this made me probably be blessed by God when the research neural network related topic......” pats under the arm of old friend with a smile, Meiere gave the hand signal of invitation to him, did not chat, came with me. I have said that can lead you to look at an astonishing thing.” “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。” Once when University of Amsterdam went study, two people read was the information engineering is specialized. After Surrott rose the master, transferred Cornell University, bumped into his pit father teacher there, finally became a material dog muddleheaded at 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 good turns over to the pit father because of his teacher pit father, many helped him get so far as a position of instructor, but Surrott was not a fuel-efficient lamp, has not stayed in Cornell University honestly does academic, but ran Silicon Valley of West coast, depended on hits edge ball packing to come out the title of Cornell University professor, flickered a investment to solve the funds problem actually, but also made a own laboratory in Silicon Valley......, although was given to purchase by Lu Zhou finally. 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。 He acknowledged, beforehand truly like the mouthful running train, exaggerates in the issue of minor details, as well as exploits the loopholes in rule, but has no recourse but every 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 alone who isn't this? 何况谁不是这样呢? As for the present, he has started with a clean slate, no longer did these matters. 至于现在,他早就已经改过自新,不再干那些事了。 Does not know that is his misconception anything, Surrott always thought that on this Meiere's old schoolmate, smelled the familiar flavor...... 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 several years ago simply. 简直和几年前的自己如出一辙。 Really, when he followed this Professor Meiere to come to an office, looks that he took up one pack of times of the table corner feeling is the hot paper, Surrott gawked slightly, immediately got 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 you let are this that I look?” “你让我看的就是这个?” Meiere: This is the paper of Dr. z! You should hear that name, once saved 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, you made me ride one hour of train to rush to your here from Geneva, to look at one to me, so long as mounted the paper that arxiv special can download?” 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 if simply is affected with the anger that the spittle flies together horizontally by that Professor Meiere said with the exaggerating tone. 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 know this paper recently in the biologists...... our neural network studied in this direction particularly actually how...... stir how!” “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!” Surrott said pertinently: You neglected the key of issue!” 萨罗特一针见血道:“你忽略了问题的关键!” But our grasps the key point!” Was startled Surrott with the imposing manner forcefully, Professor Meiere was pointing at the paper in hand, is listening, we were the scholars, neglected the things of these minor details, wasn't the key of issue this paper?” “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?” But you......” “可是你……” Sufficed! These so-called ‚, but, after putting we to 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, obviously this/should having a fit of temper isn't I? 等等,明明该发脾气的不是我吗? How instead in the imposing manner actually to lose? 怎么反而气势上却输了? Was somewhat done by this condition hoodwinks, when particularly Nobel prize word by this fellow throwing, made the attention of his whole person be brought instantaneously leaning. 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! This is one absolute touches the Nobel prize medal hopefully the research results! Its great is not inferior in Von Neumann regarding 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……” Broke this fellow mouthful to break wind, Surrott is pinching the bitter forehead, 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 this paper is...... Dr. z, what relations also has with you? What relations also has with me?” “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 signal And Electrical signal Transform Translation Frame» that 《神经信号与电信号转换的编译框架》 This name sounds is actually very interesting. 这名字听起来倒是挺有意思的。 If Dr. z who that once solved sparks/Mars bacteria crisis, wants to come the content should not be the ordinary thing. 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 issue is...... 但问题是…… What relations this and does he have? 这和他有什么关系? He is only material science of research graphene. 他只是个研究石墨烯的材料学家而已。 Saw confusion in this friend eyes, Professor Meiere answered tirelessly patiently. 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。 Key is, could not only win the Nobel prize by this paper, even if the Turing Award missed a point slightly. But he actually provided a possibility of prize for biological neural network direction! Do you understand my meaning? The Nobel prize only principle is the size of achievement, but now we most have a headache is the crucial issue is solved, the entire research by the card in the bottleneck, could not be made the enough prominent achievement.” “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。” But now, the situation had the favorable turn!” “但现在,情况出现了转机!” In this paper factor regarding biological neural network the signal propagation and forming process of visual wait of gave a brand-new explanation, and proposed the neural signal and electrical signal interconversion procedural translation frame. This work absolutely is groundbreaking, you know, once this technology is completed, what means?” “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 to Meiere saying that Surrott while is reading the paper in hand, is frowning to ponder over to 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 fiction movie to become the reality? I remember that probably called Ready 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。” Meiere said loudly: „It is not that type of superficial thing, do you only think of the game unexpectedly? What I must say is a more stirring thing! He even can change our cognition to the network! However I now and you said that this also too early, in brief you only need to know that this will be one will 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!” You had not replied that my previous issue,” about in beginning the paper, Surrott looks that he continues saying that „, therefore, what relations this and I also do 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?” Meiere said earnestly: You believe that this is a technology of change world?” 米埃尔认真说道:“你相信这是一项改变世界的技术吗?” Surrott: „......, because was you said that therefore I believed half.” 萨罗特:“……因为是你说的,所以我信一半。” Meiere: Thanks, unexpectedly half! But even only has half, supposed that this technology really can realize, as key man who promoting the final outcome is born, you thought that Nobel does appraise committee to consider our names?” 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: Nobel does not seem to calculate the prize.” 萨罗特:“诺贝尔好像没有计算奖。” But there is the prize for medicine and a chemistry prize! Thinks to look that Meiere and his friend Surrott...... have the research results of Dr. z, in promoting the biological neural network research, and nervous system and in the research of computer system docking made the brilliant contribution, issues the Nobel Prize in Chemistry...... to consider that specially Dr. z is not willing to disclose the name mostly, the bonus will be divided equally by us.” “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, Professor Meiere the expression extended the right hand seriously. 清了清嗓子,米埃尔教授表情郑重地伸出了右手。 My sincere sends out the invitation to you, can my old friend...... join us?” “我真诚的向您发出邀请,我的老朋友……要加入我们吗?” This time Surrott was silent. 这次萨罗特沉默了。 Although has been far away from the vanity fair, but Nobel prize medal that is symbolizing the academic circle highest honor...... 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, he is quite excited. 老实说,他还是相当心动的。 After silent probably five minutes, he says. 沉默了大概五分钟之后,他开口说道。 „...... I considered.” “……我考虑考虑。” Hears these words, on the face of Professor Meiere showed a smiling face finally. 听到这句话,米埃尔教授的脸上终于露出了一丝笑容。 Although oneself this old friend has not complied directly, but that expression has obviously revealed his innermost feelings activity very 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…… Regarding olive branch that oneself toss, his heart movement. 对于自己抛来的橄榄枝,他心动了。 After Professor Surrott leaves, Professor Meiere excited is pacing in the laboratory back 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。 Graphene direction should not have the issue, the expert in nerve connection material has, making me think also to miss anything...... 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 thought braved from the head suddenly, Professor Meiere eye immediately one bright, hit a sound to 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。 Nothing hesitant, before he ran up to the computer table sat down, turns on the browser to input one line of websites, then knocked 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, quite had last century antique style bbs, mapped his view. 很快,一个颇有上世纪老古董风格的bbs,映入了他的眼帘。 Here is a part of dark net. 这里是暗网的一部分。 As by major search engines the dark corners of database including, this global active user was not added less than 10,000 people of forums, is actually acting as in the Internet the role of trade collection 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。 People trade with the Bitcoin, so long as is all that the Internet can accomplish, no matter legitimate is illegal, here can post 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 mailbox and telephone of line of information Dr. z issue, Professor Meiere endures the meat pain to hang a Bits's reward to 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。 On his face of being of great success shows a smiling face, switched off the computer rapidly, 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。 Now needs him to do, conscientiously studies in that paper the huge information content, then waited for the mailbox and the telephone number Dr. z appears in his mailbox is 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 if this Dr. z never leaves behind own contact method in the network, in the issue regarding paper still never reacts, but in the place of dark net numerous strong competitors, wants to come should not to have the matter that these hackers cannot 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。 Although makes some is not possibly polite, but all these for science. 虽然这么做可能有些不礼貌,但这一切都是为了科学。 If can recruit in his research team Dr. z, his research will 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。 Believes by own eloquence, in chatted several after oneself, that Dr. z will certainly feel the heart movement to the condition that oneself will 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…… …… …… ( Asked monthly ticket ~) (求月票呀~)
