Chapter 259： Receive the highest honor in computer two

Early the next morning, Clay-Clark took the main staff of the Blackstone Fund on a plane to Tokyo. And Bao Zixuan started to groom after waking up, whether in this life or in the past life, this is the most important day for him.

Bao Zixuan's award made the time for the Chinese to receive this honor 20 years earlier, even as strong as Wang An did not have this honor. It can be said that Bao Zixuan has won the highest award, and it is almost impossible to win more important honors than this award in the future.

After breakfast, Bao Zixuan and Professor Harry Rowland drove towards the American Computer Society. Looking at Bao Zixuan's neat suit, Harry Roland said, "Boy, you look so handsome in this suit! If you wear it like this every day at MIT, I think there will be more little girls who like you."

Since the last time Phil Hawkins got married, Bao Zixuan ordered the first dress. With the improvement of wealth, many occasions need to dress appropriately. So Bao Zixuan ordered a lot of clothes from that dress shop, and now he has become a VIP customer of the shop.

Bao Zixuan: "Professor is joking, didn't you tell me to dress formally!"

After a while, the two came to the headquarters of the American Computer Society. Looking at this building, Bao Zixuan felt a little emotional. The various associations in the United States are really rich, at least the computer association's economic situation is very good.

This is sponsored by various large companies, especially the Computer Association has a deep cooperative relationship with major high-tech companies and well-known universities. The most important thing is that the highest honor in the computer industry is awarded here every year, which is the top event in the global computer industry.

Most of the staff here know Professor Harry Rowland and greet him warmly. Along the way, Bao Zixuan met many good people in the computer field under the introduction of Professor Harry Roland. Looking at the authoritative experts of various enterprises, professors of well-known universities, and academic leaders of scientific research institutions, Bao Zixuan can't wait to arrest them all to the Heiyun Production Center of Heungjiang to work for him. If it succeeds, Hong Kong will definitely become the place with the strongest computer in the world, but this is just a good wish.

If it really dared to do this, it is estimated that the US government will stop at all costs to arrest Bao Zixuan and shoot him. After coming to the lobby, seeing that many people had already taken their place, Bao Zixuan was placed in the first row as the winner of this time.

The entire hall covers an area of ​​about 1,000 square meters and occupies the first floor of the entire building. There are many computer association awards ceremonies and gatherings held here every year. So the decoration is very luxurious. However, it is more about the decoration style of computers, and the overall sci-fi color is very strong.

The current president of the American Computer Society is Professor Joe Douglas, who graduated from Stanford University. Therefore, during his tenure, more people from Stanford won the award, but the professors who were able to win the award were very strong in academics and achievements, and they did not involve any black box operations.

To put it bluntly, the Turing Award is a competition between several university alumni, the most important being the competition between MIT and Stanford. Alumni of these two universities have won more than half of the awards, even in the 21st century.

They are all IT men here, so the procedure is relatively simple. There are no tedious steps, everything is very simplified. All things are very pragmatic, which is also the sadness of the engineering man.

Joe Douglas stood on the stage and said: "Hello, all the elites in the computer industry! I'm Joe Douglas, your old friend. It's the annual Turing Award ceremony, which is the most important annual award ceremony of our association. important event."

"Alan Mathison Turing is the pioneer and leader of our computer industry. Every year, the highest honor of the computer has been named by him. It can be said that it is not only to commemorate the great predecessors, but also to make all of us computer people can Use Turing's deeds to spur yourself. I hope that all the winners can make greater contributions to the computer community and guide our association to go further."

"Today we are going to present a trophy for the 1979 Turing Award, which may be the youngest and richest winner of our Turing Award since its inception in 1966. It is estimated that this record will be difficult to break in the future."

At this time, everyone's eyes turned to Bao Zixuan, knowing that the chairman must be talking about him. Bao Zixuan politely nodded his thanks to everyone who came over.

Joe Douglas continued: "This winner is a developer of office software, a programmer of system software, and a pioneer of computer miniaturization. It can be said that his achievements can save countless tons of paper for mankind every year. The number of trees cut down can be said to be uncountable."

"He is Bao Zixuan from MIT. We congratulate Bao Zixuan on winning the Turing Award in 1979."

Hearing his name mentioned, Bao Zixuan stood up. Beckoned and greeted everyone. At this time, the focus of the audience was on him. Just like Joe Douglas said, this is the richest and youngest recipient of the Turing Award. It's not too much to describe him at this time, after all, this honor is really too high.

Taking the silver bowl trophy and certificate of the Turing Award from Joe Douglas, Bao Zixuan came to the microphone. He will do an acceptance speech to express his gratitude to the association and all the staff.

Bao Zixuan looked at the people below and said, "Thank you to the Association, President Douglas and all the members of the Computer Association. To be honest, it is something that I never dared to think about to win the Turing Award. All this is too dreamy."

"I am an ordinary Hong Kong teenager. Before I went to Oxford, I only read about computers in newspapers and magazines. When I first started using computers, I was thinking how to write a fast calculation and accounting software for my mother. Let She may not have to work so hard in the future, which may be the original intention of my continuous learning of computer technology After I came to MIT, I was exposed to the most cutting-edge computer knowledge in the world, which opened my eyes. Computers are not only just It is just to realize my childhood dream. There are many things in it that are worth digging into. How can hardware and software be perfectly combined, and how can computer performance be matched to achieve the highest computing value. These are all problems we have to solve. It's a discipline that is more challenging than any discipline."

"The computer knowledge we know now is only the tip of the iceberg, and there is still a lot of ways to go in the future. In the future, Black Cloud will spend at least $100 million in computer research and development every year, and will spare no effort to invest in computer science."

"I don't ask for much in return, I just hope that computer science can continue to improve. It will make our life better and more convenient, thank you."

After speaking, he bowed to the audience, and the audience under the stage also showed respect. All stood up and applauded for Bao Zixuan. This is a recognition of his award, and it may also be a recognition of his annual investment of 100 million US dollars in research and development of computer science.

After stepping off the stage, many people came to greet him warmly. In fact, Bao Zixuan said that the annual investment of no less than 100 million US dollars in computer science research and development is also for advertising. It is to release a message to all top computer experts that the Black Cloud Group can provide you with research and development funds, which is a big temptation for scholars and professors who cannot get research and development funds in other companies and schools.

In fact, the research direction of many scholars cannot be recognized by most people, and many do not see hope, and even when they see the direction, sometimes the input and output are not proportional. Not every scientific research project has economic value, and the research direction of many scholars tends to be more theoretical research, and it is impossible to create real objects at all.
