Chapter 259 (2/2)
”Today we are going to present the trophy for the 1979 Turing Award, which may be the youngest and richest winner of our Turing Award since its establishment in 1966. It is estimated that this record will be difficult to break in the future.”
At this time, everyone looked at baozixuan and knew that the president must be talking about him. Steamed stuffed bun Xuan politely nodded his thanks to all the people who saw it.
Joe Douglas then said, ”the winner is the developer of office software, the programmer of system software and the pioneer of computer miniaturization. It can be said that his achievements can save mankind countless tons of paper every year, and it can be said that the number of trees can not be counted. ”
”He is baozixuan from MIT. We congratulate baozixuan on winning the Turing Award in 1979.”
Hearing his name mentioned, baozixuan stood up. Waving to the crowd, the whole audience focused on him. As Joe Douglas said, he was the richest and youngest winner of the Turing Award. It's not too much to describe him at this time. After all, the honor is too high.
After receiving the silver bowl trophy and certificate of the Turing Award from Joe Douglas, Bao Zixuan came to the microphone. He will make a speech to express his gratitude to the association and all the staff.
Bao Zixuan looked at the people below and said, ”thank you, President Douglas and all the members of the computer association. To tell you the truth, winning the Turing Award is something I have never dared to think of. It's all too dreamy. ”
”I am an ordinary Xiangjiang teenager. I only read about computers in newspapers and magazines before going to Oxford. When I first used the computer, I thought about how to write a fast calculation and accounting software for my mother. Let her not have to work so hard in the future. This may be my original intention to keep learning computer technology. ”
”After arriving at MIT, I came into contact with the most cutting-edge computer knowledge in the world, which opened my eyes. The computer is not only able to realize my childhood dream, but there are many things worth exploring. How can hardware and software be perfectly combined, and how can computer performance be matched to achieve the highest computing value. These are the problems we have to solve. This is a discipline that is more challenging than any discipline. ”
”The computer knowledge we know now can only be regarded as the tip of the iceberg, and there will be a lot of ways to go in the future. In the future, black cloud will spend at least US $100 million on computer research and development every year, and will spare no effort in computer science. ”
”I don't ask for much in return. I just hope computer science can make continuous progress. Let our life become more beautiful and convenient. Thank you. ”
After that, he bowed to the audience, and the audience was very face-saving. All stood up and applauded baozixuan, which is recognition of his award-winning, or recognition of his annual investment of US $100 million in computer science research and development.
After stepping down, many people came to greet him warmly. In fact, baozixuan said that it is also for advertising to invest no less than US $100 million in computer science research and development every year. It is to release a message to all top computer experts that black cloud group can provide you with R & D funds, which is a great temptation for scholars and professors who can't get R & D funds in other enterprises and schools.
In fact, many scholars' research directions can not be recognized by most people, and many can not see hope. Even if they see the direction, sometimes the input and output are out of proportion. Not every scientific research project has economic value. The research direction of many scholars tends to theoretical research, and they can't produce real objects at all.
