Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The universe, time and space, life, heaven and earth—everything, these are too abstract and too mysterious to the average person. But human beings have always been curious about the mysteries of the universe and have been actively exploring, trying to uncover the truths of the universe is definitely scientists’ biggest dream.
Jin Shengping’s speech on quantum mechanics was very interesting, it received a lot of applause from the audience. It was a great honor for many people to listen to his speech in person, but the content of the speech was naturally not comprehended completely by everyone. Especially for some liberal arts students, understanding quantum science and quantum mechanics was like understanding metaphysics.
As a professor, Lu Jia’er had unusually wide read but it was also difficult for her to digest what Jiin Shengping had said today. And her attention was somewhat disrupted by her concerns for Jin Shengping’s neck.
However, based on how he had given the speech this afternoon, Jin Shengping was completely different from the person who had had a broken neck a few days ago. He was in high spirits and his eyes were shining with light, like a bright star in the universe.
In the question and answer portion, everyone was jostling to ask gossipy questions as well as to exchange academic opinions on science with Jin Shengping.
After six or seven highbrow questions, a female student posed a question many girls wanted to ask.
“I am very grateful to the academician for giving me this valuable opportunity to ask a question, but my question may be despised by many people, however, you have just said that it is very important to follow your own heart, so I still want to ask...”
A burst of laughter met the girl’s words.
On the stage, Jin Shengping laughed too, and seemed to anticipate her question. He gave a generous response, “Go ahead!”
The girl continued, “I’ve heard that your son, Jin Xiangdong, is the founder and initiator of the famous BUA company. Recently, many experts and scholars have shown their fear and concern about the development of AI. What is your outlook on development and prospects of AI? And what kind of person is your son? There is little information about him. Everyone is very curious about him.”
The girl’s words caused laughter again.
“Thank you for your question. I am looking forward to the development and prospects of AI, especially when thinking about the status quo and the future, for now... ” Jin Shengping said with a smile on his face.
Jin Shengping objectively talked about a large portion of his own opinion on AI, and then he continued, “As for the second question, what kind of person is my son? He is a person who loves science and likes to study. He is no different from anyone seated here in other respects. He eats every day, goes to work, goes to sleep. There is no need to be curious!”
After the girl had heard the reply, she smiled and then continued, “Academician Jin, your protection of your family is still as consistent as it was decades ago!”
“I don’t mean to protect him, but he doesn’t like making public appearances! He is a low-key person in comparison to me. I should learn from him in this regard.” Jin Shengping replied with a smile.
Everyone laughed again. In fact, the question was meaningless. No more information was gotten from Jin Shengping in regards to Jin Xiangdong.
However, the two-hour speech came to an end, and everyone concluded the exchange of opinions on science with Academician Jin Shengping with warm applause. Lu Jia’er applauded out of complete admiration, and assessed the applause of several students around her, she could tell that their palms should be red.
Young students could easily uphold and continue to love science after the speech of Jin Shengping, which was what he had hoped for.
The whole auditorium was filled with warm applause. Lu Jia’er stared at Jin Shengping on the stage. She had no idea if she was just imagining it but she felt that Jin Shengping was looking at her, there were a few seconds when his eyes were fixed toward her position and his face also showed a surprised smile.
However, Lu Jia’er quickly ascertained that this was not her imagination. Jin Shengping did see her, and the surprised smile was made at her.
Once he finished the speech, Jin Shengping left surrounded by the security personnel and school leaders. Although this time Lu Jia’er did not get in close contact with Jin Shengping,Jin Shengping’s smile at her was enough to make Lu Jia’er hug herself with pleasure.
Su Han, who walked with Lu Jia’er on the boulevard from the school, touched Lu Jia’er with her arm. “What were you laughing at? You are nuts!”
“You are nuts!” Lu Jia’er turned around.
“After listening to the speech of Mr. Jin, I have a new idea!” Su Han smiled.
“Being a writer is great. Get a bunch of inspirations to make money after listening to others’ remarks!” Lu Jia’er replied.
“I am so gifted. I can’t do nothing about it!” Su Han’s eyebrows lifted proudly.
Lu Jia’er smiled and said, “Are you going to write science fiction instead of a campus teacher-student love story?”
“Even if I write sci-fi, the prototype of the heroine is still you!” Su Han put her hand on Lu Jia’er’s shoulder and smiled.
“If you dare betray me, be careful with your life!” Lu Jia’er threatened.
“It is great to be able to sacrifice for art. It is still worth it despite the high cost of a life!” Su Han replied with a smile.historical
