The rise of a great power: starting with military industry

Chapter 668 Turing Award! ? (Seeking monthly votes)
Panshan Group Headquarters.

After Liu Tao finished his business, he browsed through domestic and international news briefs.

This aspect of the work will naturally be organized by the secretariat, making it easier for him to understand major domestic and international events.

The most important domestic event is that with the approval of the state, Shanghai has officially announced the development and opening of Pudong. The Shanghai Pudong New Area Development Office will soon be established, and the Shanghai Pudong New Area Development and Design Institute will also be established.

Of course, there were some things, but nothing too big.

What is happening abroad is mainly the Iran-Iraq War. There is already a glimmer of hope for peace in the Iran-Iraq War. The two sides held the second round of peace talks, reached some agreements, and will hold the third round of talks in mid-June.

From the first round of negotiations to the second round, the depth of negotiations between the two sides has continued to deepen, and more and more consensus has been reached. It is obvious that the two sides are not far from truly reaching a ceasefire agreement.

Liu Tao looked at this information and pondered for a moment.

He judged that the Iran-Iraq War would probably achieve peace this year, thus ending the nearly 10-year war. At best, it would be delayed until next year.

After all, the two sides have reached a lot of consensus and don't want to continue fighting.

Just at this moment, Liu Tao's phone rang and Liu Tao picked up the phone.

Nowadays, it is very convenient to make phone calls. You can make phone calls across the country and even around the world. The communication field has made rapid progress in recent years. Communication is becoming more and more convenient. Telephones have entered thousands of households, not only in cities, but also in towns and rural areas.

In many places, you can even use a mobile phone to make and receive calls at any time. Today's mobile phones are no longer the same as the big brothers of the past. Instead, they are about the size of a palm, much smaller in shape and lighter in weight, making them very convenient to carry around.

The call was from the foreign affairs department, who told Liu Tao something that surprised him: that he had been awarded the Turing Award, the highest honor in the computer industry, and asked him if he wanted to go to the United States to receive the award.

Liu Tao was quite surprised.

It was not a surprise that he was qualified for the Turing Award, but a surprise that Americans were willing to award him the Turing Award.

With his publicly published papers and contributions in computer hardware and software, he should have received this honor long ago. However, there was no news. It was obvious that the Americans were unwilling to give this award to a Chinese, especially since Liu Tao was still a member of the system.

The ACM Turing Award was established in 1966 by the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) to reward individuals who have made significant contributions to the computer industry. It is named after the British scientist Alan Mathison Turing, a pioneer in computer science.

Since the Turing Award has extremely high requirements for award-winning conditions and the award process is extremely strict, generally only one computer scientist is awarded each year, and only in a very few years do two collaborators or scientists who have made contributions in the same direction share this award. Therefore, it is the most prestigious and noble award in the computer industry, and is known as the "Nobel Prize in the Computer Industry".

Of course, the Turing Award is mainly an honor and has a very high status in the industry. As for the prize money, it is actually not much, only 2 US dollars.

Liu Tao couldn't help but look thoughtful. Although he was surprised to win this award, he was not excited at all.

In the past ten years or so, he has won all the honors he deserves in the country.

He actually doesn't care much about overseas awards, whether it's the Nobel Prize or the Turing Award.

Because there are too many political factors involved in these awards.

"Forget it, there's no need to accept the award. I'm not suitable to go abroad." Liu Tao said slowly.

With his status, he needs a large number of security forces in the country. He has a lot of secrets and it is not suitable for him to go abroad to receive the award.

Being able to go to Hong Kong and Macau is already a great achievement.

Going to the United States is not a good idea. You might end up throwing something at a dog with a meat bun and never come back.

Liu Tao still takes his life very seriously and will not joke with it. "Comrade Liu Tao, if it's about safety, please rest assured. The leader will go abroad to visit the United States, and you can go with him." A clear voice came from the phone, "And you going to receive the award will also be a great encouragement to the country and the nation."

Currently, only a few people know that Liu Tao won the Turing Award. After all, it has not been announced to the whole world. It has only spread among the top computer circles, but it is indeed shocking enough.

China has actively participated in international sports competitions and international academic conferences in recent years in order to integrate into this world, to prove itself, and to prove that China is no worse than any other country.

Liu Tao pondered for a moment, then said, "If that's the case, you guys can make the arrangements."

After communicating about going abroad, Liu Tao began to make arrangements.

After arranging the affairs of Panshan Group, Liu Tao once again took a special plane to Beijing. Then he and his leader boarded a special plane together and set off for the United States.

New York, the economic center of the United States, is also the largest and most prosperous international metropolis in the world.

This is a paradise for the rich and a hell for the poor.

There is a saying that goes, if you love her, send her to New York, because it is heaven; if you hate her, send her to New York, because it is hell.

There are billionaires living a luxurious life as well as poor and destitute homeless people.

Looking down at New York from the plane, the prosperity of New York can be clearly seen from the air.

Even compared with the prosperous Hong Kong today, there is a big gap.

Although Hong Kong is prosperous, it is too small!

New York is very big. It is an international metropolis and an urban area.

After the special plane arrived at the New York airport, they checked into the accommodation that had been arranged for them, with the highest level of security.

Liu Tao felt a little uncomfortable. Even though he was physically strong, he still had trouble adapting to the jet lag.

Fortunately, the award ceremony is tomorrow.

The leader paid a friendly visit to the city of New York, while Liu Tao stayed at his residence watching the news.

At this time, the news in the United States was full of enthusiasm, which was the determination to bombard the Japanese and defeat them. American companies were buying back the assets purchased by the Japanese.

As arrogant as the Japanese were in the United States before, they are now in such a state of disgrace.

Those Japanese companies withdrew funds one after another to stabilize their own company's stock prices, and the assets they had originally purchased were sold off one after another.

Liu Tao shook his head slightly. He did not participate in this feast because the United States is American territory. If he entered to grab the food, he was afraid that the Americans would ignore the rules and make him spit it out.

Just like now, the Japanese are suffering huge losses from the buying and selling, because the Americans are desperately trying to lower the price. If the price is not lowered much, the Japanese will not be able to sell it at all and no one will take it over.

What the Japanese had taken in at the beginning has now been forced by the Americans to pay back with interest, which is absolutely a huge loss.

This also reminded Liu Tao that when making a small fortune in someone else's territory, it's okay, but you must be low-key and never be high-profile.

Making money quietly is the true saying.
