Chapter 232 (1/2)

With the acceleration of reform and opening up in the mainland, baozixuan's companies are making every effort to increase investment in the mainland. Many people can't understand this, but only they know that these investments will be made back hundreds of times in the future. Now the investment may be suppressed by the Hong Kong government, but considering that there is Huo Yingdong in front, baozixuan is at least safe. Moreover, the mainland will not be indifferent to the suppression of patriotic businessmen, at least on the surface.

Baozixuan stayed in Xiangjiang until the beginning of 1980, when he had to go back to the United States. Because the Turing Award, the highest honor in the computer industry, was awarded to him, he had to go back to the United States to receive the award.

In fact, the software written by baozixuan and his contribution to computer hardware have long been able to get this honor, but many people think he is not a computer major and is not qualified. Let a layman receive the Turing Award, then who will concentrate on learning computer.

The Turing Award, fully known as the ”a.m. Turing Award”, was established by the American Computer Association (ACM) in 1966 to reward individuals who have made important contributions to the computer industry. Its name comes from Alan M. Turing, a pioneer of computer science and a British scientist. As the Turing Award has extremely high requirements for award conditions and strict award procedures, generally only one computer scientist is awarded every year, and only a few years have two collaborators or scientists who contribute in the same direction to share the award. Therefore, it is the most prestigious and noble award in the computer industry, known as the ”Nobel Prize in the computer industry”.

As the Turing Award has extremely high requirements for award conditions and strict award procedures, generally only one computer scientist is awarded every year, and only a few years have two collaborators or scientists who contribute in the same direction to share the award. Therefore, it is the most prestigious and noble award in the computer industry, known as the ”Nobel Prize in the computer industry”.

Each year, the American computer association will ask the nominees to recommend this year's Turing Award candidates, and attach a 200 to 500 word article explaining why the nominees should win the award. Anyone can be a nominee. The American computer association will form a selection committee to strictly evaluate the nominees and finally determine the winners of the year.

Bao Zixuan knew that he had won the prize only after receiving a call from Professor Harry Roland, who is one of the judges of the Turing Award. With its own special channels, baozixuan is very excited to win this Nobel Prize in the computer industry. This is nothing more than adding chips to their talents and making themselves more famous. We should take into account many things that are unfavorable to us.

Harry Roland said on the phone, ”boy, this news is shocking enough! It was right to let you learn computer! ”

Bao Zixuan: ”thank you very much for your cultivation. Your teaching will be unforgettable all your life. What should I pay attention to and when to receive the award. ”

Harry Roland: ”I just informed you today. There will be special staff to contact you at that time. However, the award time is March 25, at the headquarters of the American computer association in New York. You go back to school first and we'll go there together. ”

Bao Zixuan: ”OK, thank you, professor. I'll go back to school immediately after I've arranged for Xiangjiang. ”

At present, only a few people know that baozixuan has won the Turing Award. After all, it has not been announced all over the world. It's just spread among the top computer circles, but it's really shocking.

After arranging Xiangjiang's affairs, baozixuan returned to the United States again. In fact, he was worried about Li Yulin. After all, he spent too little time with his mother in recent years. Li Yulin knew her son's worry, but she still had to focus on the overall situation. When Dr. Huang Chunqiu promised that there was absolutely no problem, baozixuan boarded the plane to the United States.

In January 1980, baozixuan returned to MIT. This time he left for a long time. The original plan was to leave for up to 2 months and come back, but Li Yulin's illness made her leave for 4 months this time.

When I came to Harry Roland's office, I saw the old professor looking at the information in front of the computer. Seeing that it was baozixuan coming, he immediately put down the keyboard and said to him, ”boy, I'll be back so soon.”

Bao Zixuan: ”you always call me. How dare you not come right away, but how can I win the prize this time?”
