Chapter 245 This big bear is crazy! (5K votes requested, please follow up)

Richard was a little surprised when he saw the content of the email.

He never expected that Luo Yao would actually agree to receive the Turing Award.

Judging from the current situation, it is indeed the best thing for Luo Yao to receive the Turing Award.

But high returns often come with high risks.

If Luo Yao comes to Chou Country, who knows what the consequences will be?

Richard understood that as a scientist and a member of the Turing Award Committee, he had the responsibility to protect Luo Yao's safety and interests.

"If Luo Yao really wants to come to Chou Country, I must do everything possible to ensure Luo Yao's safety." He made up his mind and determined to provide Luo Yao with the support and protection he could after he came to Chou Country.

He decided to work with the Turing Award committee members and relevant departments to develop a complete safety plan to minimize the risks and dangers Luo Yao may face.

Richard understands that this is a difficult task, but he is willing to take on this responsibility and do his best to protect Luo Yao's interests.

When Richard told Luo Yao his plan, Luo Yao made a request for a video call.

Under Luo Yao's guidance, Richard downloaded a video conferencing software produced by Linghang Technology.

This is the product of Sergey, Aidra and Wu Tianming's idle moments. It is based on quantum encryption technology, which can ensure that the content of the video call will not be stolen to the greatest extent.

When Richard saw Luo Yao for the first time, he couldn't hide the surprise on his face.

"I didn't expect you to be younger than I thought." Richard praised, and after realizing that Luo Yao didn't care, he quickly said: "You just said you were coming to receive the award, I'll make a reception plan here It will be sent to you for review later. If there are any corrections needed, we will discuss the details."

"When did I say I was going to Chou Country?"

Richard was stunned.

"Didn't you just say you were coming to receive the award?"

"Well, I want to receive the award, but I won't go there, but you will send it over."

"Don't you want to award me a Turing Award? But I can't go abroad."

Richard's breathing became tense.

"Can't you go abroad? Yes, this is also a way to protect you."

"So, if you want to award an award, you can only come to China to award the award. After all, you guys have no rules. The award venue must be in China."

Seeing Luo Yao's confident look, Richard almost believed him.

It is true that there is no requirement that the Turing Award be awarded in an ugly country, but there is no precedent for it to be awarded in other countries!

"I'm afraid this is a bit difficult." Richard expressed his thoughts tactfully.

"If you can't satisfy even this, I actually doubt your motives for awarding the Turing Award."

“Isn’t every Turing Award winner accomplished?”

“Isn’t it your duty to award the Turing Award to a person who can bring new technologies to the world?”

"Or do you actually care more about letting everyone know about your existence than giving awards to Turing Award winners?"

Richard's face turned red and white as Luo Yao spoke, and he always felt that something was wrong.

But he also felt that what Luo Yao said made sense.

The Turing Award should really serve the interests of the recipients, not them.

Richard was silent for a while, took a deep breath, and thought carefully about Luo Yao's words.

"You are right, the Turing Award should look at the interests of the recipients, not the interests of our committee." He admitted, "I think our people have indeed gradually deviated from the focus in their work, and I will try my best. Guarantee the interests of Turing Award winners."

"I will re-examine our proposal to ensure that it truly meets your interests and expectations." Richard said seriously, "The responsibility of our committee is to ensure the reputation and honor of the Turing Award, while also protecting the interests and interests of the recipients. dignity."

Seeing Richard's serious look, Luo Yao knew that this time the plan was solid.

When the two ended the call, Richard specifically asked Luo Yao to wait for news while he went to apply for related matters.

after one day.

Shan Xing came to ask Luo Yao about the progress of the Turing Award communication.

"Gong Luo, you should tell them now that you won't accept the award."

"No, I told them that I would accept the award."

Shan Xing was about to nod when he suddenly discovered a problem.

"You said you want to receive the award? Mr. Luo, are you sure?"

"Sure, I've already told them."

Shan Xing was confused and thinking, is Luo Yao planning to go abroad?

According to the confidentiality regulations, a person of Luo Yao's level will definitely not be able to go abroad, but this is the first time Luo Yao has won an international award, so it is always hard to say that he is not allowed to go.

Luo Yao is still young, so maybe he also needs this kind of international recognition.

Shan Xing regretted that he did not bring Zheng Yang with him this time, otherwise he would not have to face this problem alone.

"Gong Luo, are you sure you want to receive the award? We all know that people of this level are generally unlikely to go abroad." Shan Xing tried to confirm again.

"Well, I want to get it, but I'm not going to get it."

Shan Xing was stunned and blurted out: "Gong Luo, do you want to find someone to pick it up?"

"Of course not, I asked them to send it over."

After Shan Xing heard Luo Yao's answer, he raised his eyebrows in surprise and said, "Gong Luo, this is no joke! I have never heard that an award of this level would be delivered to someone's home. .”

Luo Yao looked at Shan Xing's surprised expression and smiled secretly in his heart, but kept a serious expression on his face. "President Shan, I'm not kidding. I have communicated with the Turing Award Committee and they agreed to negotiate. He asked me to wait for news."

After Shan Xing saw that Luo Yao didn't look like he was joking, he couldn't react even more.

No, what did his genius say to others?

Will the people on the Turing Award Committee take this opportunity to blacklist all Chinese people?

Shan Xing was filled with doubts and worries, and he realized that things might be more complicated than he thought.

He frowned and was silent for a while, then asked carefully: "Gong Luo, what specifically did you tell the people on the Turing Award Committee? Did they put forward any requirements or conditions?"

"Actually, I just mentioned that their previous award methods focused too much on themselves, rather than the winners of the Turing Award."

"There's some psychology involved."

"To mention that 'their previous award-giving methods focused too much on themselves' is to imply that the other party's evaluation or perception of themselves is too self-centered or self-perceived. Of course, this is also a language technique that can remind the other party to pay attention to the possible consequences of their own behavior. caused problems."

"After saying this, the other party really began to reflect on the way they did things in the past, so they agreed to help me apply for an award program in China."

No, genius, why did you put your CPU on someone else's committee? !

After listening to Luo Yao's words, the stunned Shan Xing understood why the people on the Turing Award Committee were willing to give in.

Anyone who hears Luo Yao's words would be embarrassed to reject Luo Yao directly, right?

This genius of theirs really lived up to the saying - A man with great skills is bold!

After reacting, Shan Xing took a breath and thought that Luo Yao's operation has been fine so far, but it is up to the other party whether he agrees or not.

Judging from past experience, it would be as difficult as landing on the moon to get someone from the awards committee to personally deliver the award to China.

"Gong Luo, it's really unlikely that this will succeed. They won't change the long-standing working pattern for you alone."

Luo Yao was not surprised by Shan Xing's words.

"Well, I know, so I have a second move later."

The second move?

Shan Xing felt that regardless of the second or third move, it would be difficult to achieve the opponent's goal of traveling thousands of miles to China.

He had never heard of any awards committee being so free.

He didn't tell Luo Yao this to avoid being disappointed in advance, and he couldn't persuade him.

If we want to have a showdown with Luo Yao, we can only wait until he communicates with Zheng Yang!

By then, if Luo Yao has any emotional fluctuations, it would be better than him having to bear it alone now!

On the other side, the Turing Award Committee.

When Richard told the president about Luo Yao's request to deliver awards to his door, the president stared at him and asked suspiciously: "Do you have a high fever? Are you talking such nonsense?"

Richard was completely confused by the president's rhetorical question. He quickly shook his head and tried to explain: "No, no, president, I don't have a fever. This was Luo Yao's suggestion. He thought we should pay more attention to the winners. interests rather than focusing too much on the form itself.”

After hearing this, the president had an incredible smile on his face.

"How could this Luo Yao make such an inexplicable proposal? Does he think the Turing Award was established for him alone?"

Richard felt a little embarrassed. He knew that the president was a relatively traditional and conservative person and would find it difficult to accept such a change. "I also think this proposal is a bit unrealistic, but Luo Yao insists that doing so is more beneficial to the reputation and significance of the Turing Award."

The president sighed and frowned.

"Richard, I hope you can think carefully about whether this proposal is in line with the principles and purposes of the Turing Award. We cannot easily accept this request that breaks the rules." "Richard, you should understand that the Turing Award is A long-standing and solemn award, it was established to recognize talents who have made outstanding contributions in the field of computer science.

“We cannot abandon the rigorous principles and procedures we have developed over the years because of the demands of individual award recipients.”

The chairman's tone became more and more serious. He knocked on the table twice with his hand and continued: "We must maintain the authority and fairness of the Turing Award. We cannot affect the reputation of the entire award because of the demands of individual winners. and credibility.”

"If we readily accept this request to break with convention, it will cause irreversible damage to the status and prestige of the Turing Award."

"Regarding Luo Yao's proposal, I insist that existing procedures and principles should be followed instead of deviating from the direction due to the requirements of individual winners."

Richard retorted: "President, I think these traditional rules can be adjusted appropriately to better meet the needs of today's society and the scientific community. Luo Yao's proposal is not unreasonable. What he emphasized is the The attention and respect of the winners are precisely the important aspects that reflect the true meaning of the award!”

He continued: "We cannot lose attention to contemporary science and scientists because we stick to tradition. If we remain stuck in the rules of the past without making changes, the meaning and value of the Turing Award will gradually fade."

The president waved his hands and said, "You are right, but I don't want to hear it."

Richard had no choice but to go out from the president's office.

He felt that if he couldn't convince the president this time, he would definitely do it next time.

Full of confidence, when he was about to go to the president again the next day, his colleague on the committee, Vasily, found him first.

"Richard, you heard that people on the Internet are saying that we don't really want to award Luo Yao the award, that we just want to use him for hype, and that we have evil intentions and want to harm him!"

"Online? How do people on the Internet know?" What Vasily said is actually true, but the problem is that only their insiders know these things, so why did they suddenly start discussing it online.

Richard hurriedly turned on the computer and saw a lot of discussions about the Turing Award on the Internet.

Various forums, social media and news websites are full of doubts and criticisms about the Turing Award Committee, and some people even directly questioned the fairness and authenticity of the Turing Award.

"The Turing Award is awarded to the genius from China this time. Does he really want to award it to someone else or does he have ulterior motives?"

"What do you think about the minds of the ugly people? Can geniuses come out after they reach them?"

"They have always liked to collect geniuses from all over the world. Luo Yao from China has developed a lot of emerging technologies in the past few years. I don't believe they are not tempted!"

"Luo Yao seems to have never been abroad! How can he receive the award? Could this be something they planned in advance!"

"You're just consuming others, right? The people on the Turing Award committee are so disgusting!"

"Even if Luo Yao could go abroad, he wouldn't go to them! If you ask me, he should personally send the Turing Award to China!"

"I agree with what you said above. Only by delivering the award in person can you show your sincerity!"

There were more and more discussions on the Internet, and just when Richard didn't know how to solve it, his phone rang.

"Richard, come to my office right away."

After receiving the notice from the president, Richard immediately went to the other party's office.

"The people above came with news, saying that public opinion outside has put a lot of pressure on them, and now they are considering asking us to send someone to deliver the trophy to Luo Yao."

"Let us send it there?"

"Well, let's send it there. After we send it there, they will take other actions. I don't know what specific actions they will take, but I'm sure it won't be a good thing."

Richard was silent.

"So, the person who delivers the trophy is very important. If you go there, you will probably be interrogated by the Chinese."

Richard thought to himself that he was single, what should he be afraid of?

If someone else went to China, he would not be at ease, so he made up his mind and said, "I will go."

"Are you sure? I've already said that going this time is actually risky, and I can't guarantee what will happen to you when you come back."

Richard waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "The worst I can do is come back and sit on the bench again! Anyway, I've already done it once, and this time is no different."

"There is a Chinese saying that I think is very good, 'once it's old, twice it's familiar'. After the first experience, I feel it doesn't matter the second time."

Richard thought indifferently.

He was actually tired of teaching.

He had no other choice, so he had to go to school every day.

But the country of bullfighting is naturally pursuing excitement, and he wanted to take this opportunity to visit China.

Maybe this is his only chance in this life.

When the president saw that he insisted on going to China, he could only agree and said: "Then you go, you can also take someone with you, this will prevent you from taking responsibility alone."

The president originally had good intentions and was worried that Richard would bear the responsibility alone.

Richard, however, felt that there was no need to hitch another person's future.

After going to China this time, who knows how the people above will examine him.

Therefore, if there is one less person, there will be one less person.

After the departure date was set, Richard sent Luo Yao an email and told him the date of the meeting. Luo Yao simply replied "OK" and there was no news from him again.

Richard's life here temporarily returned to the previous days, and he still had to teach his students.

After his students heard that he was going to give Luo Yao a trophy, they were all very happy.

"Professor, when you meet Mr. Luo Yao, you must tell him that I admire him very much. I will definitely return to China after I graduate with my master's degree!"

"Professor, help us ask Mr. Luo Yao if he will accept students?"

"Also, Professor, we must ask him, if we want to enter Pilot Technology, what are the conditions?"

Richard looked at the group of Chinese students with a smile and patiently wrote down all their questions.

Time flies and the day of departure comes in a blink of an eye.

Before Richard left, he suddenly received a message from the president, saying that Vasily was going to accompany him.

Richard had no choice but to go on the road with Vasily.

"Why did you come with us? Don't you know that when we go to China this time, we may be marginalized when we come back?" Richard started to say after arriving at the airport and seeing no one around.

Vasily stared at him seriously and said, "Don't you think we are marginalized enough?"

"When was there a time when I was evaluating professional titles in school, someone else stepped on me?"

"Don't you know what the reason is?"

Richard sighed.

What could be the reason?

Isn’t it because they are also foreigners?

A big bear man, a bull countryman.

It’s strange that the ugly countrymen would let them join important projects without any worries!

"It's not like you don't know why they recruited us with such great fanfare."

"They just store us there as consumables, and then add us when needed. Do they treat us like people when they are no longer needed?"

"I want to study nuclear fusion. Have they given me a chance? Why don't they let me tinker with computational physics every day?"

"Really, I want to go back to China."

"But as you know, the situation in our country is that the economy is not doing well."

Richard nodded.

He has heard this. The Daxiong family is really poor, let alone doing scientific research. Except for the oligarchs who have money in private enterprises, ordinary enterprises are miserable.

If Vasily went back, it would be more uncomfortable than if he stayed in Chou Country.

"Then you applied to give out the prize this time because you wanted to see the situation in China?"

Vasily's eyes suddenly brightened up like a brown bear seeing food.

He quickly typed a few words on his phone and handed it to Richard.

[No, I want to stay there. 】

[Luo Yao, this is my chance. 】

Richard looked up in shock, with only one thought in his mind.

This big bear man is crazy!
