Chapter 182 Dropping out of school after a disagreement
Yao Xiaoguang finished the rehabilitation training and was so tired that he was sweating profusely.
Zhang Wei handed over a bottle of water, and the two sat on chairs in the rest area of the hospital and chatted about the DOTA map.
“I have observed some foreign game forums and found that DOTA has a high degree of discussion. Although there is no way to count how many players there are, judging from the popularity of forum discussions, there are more and more players. Players are pouring into DOTA," Yao Xiaoguang said.
“After all, there are tens of millions of Warcraft 3 players! And Blizzard’s “World of Warcraft” is very popular abroad. As a game with the same background, Warcraft 3 will definitely have many new players joining. .
Not every player is good at complex and cumbersome operations like real-time strategy. DOTA, a mode that only operates one hero, is more suitable for novices who are new to this game. "Zhang Wei replied.
Yao Xiaoguang continued: "I studied it carefully and found that there are still many bugs in the current version, which must be corrected in the next version. In addition, several modifications will be made in the next version.
First of all, I want to adjust the wild monsters, increase the number of wild monsters, and adjust the wild area refresh mechanism. This can improve the jungle's resource acquisition efficiency and provide richer tactics.
Secondly, I plan to add some recovery props. When the hero is out of shape, he has to go back to the spring to recover. It is too far and will miss a lot of opportunities and slow down the pace of the game.
The third problem is the purchase of props. They can only be purchased in specific stores. I think it is a bit too troublesome. It will not only increase the number of operations, but also affect the rhythm of the game.
It would definitely be much more convenient if you could purchase items anytime and anywhere. Unfortunately, this aspect cannot be modified at present, and the map editor of Warcraft does not support this. ”
“Buy items anytime, anywhere? This is a revolutionary idea! "Zhang Wei said this, but secretly thought in his heart that he is worthy of being the father of "Honor of Kings". Sure enough, he still thought of this.
Yao Xiaoguang continued: "Then there is the issue of operation. I plan to simplify the operation. , making it easier to get started with the game. The existing hero skills and shortcut keys are all determined by the first letter of the hero's skill. I want to unify the skill shortcut keys of each hero and replace them with the same few buttons. "
"League of Legends" players must have been accustomed to the four shortcut keys QWER, but in early MOBA games, the shortcut keys for hero skills were not so unified.
Blizzard at that time In games, shortcut keys are all determined based on the English initials of hero skills. There are often two skill shortcut keys, one on the lower left of the keyboard and one on the upper right of the keyboard
Just imagine that your hero skill shortcut key is not QWER, but QPZM. This is so anti-human!
How difficult is it to change a shortcut key? However, Blizzard did not change it back then. Blizzard did not even provide the function of setting the keys independently. In the end, some players couldn't bear it anymore and developed their own shortcut key plug-in, and then Blizzard had no choice but to modify the client.
Of course Zhang Wei knew that with Blizzard's arrogant nature, it would definitely not be modified unless it was pushed to a certain level, so he said: "This shortcut key is indeed a big problem. Technically it can Can it be unified into QWER? "
"Yes, although the map editor of Warcraft is very rigid, it is still technically fine," Yao Xiaoguang said.
"Okay, then feel free to do it! In addition, I have a suggestion regarding your previous idea. Since the map editor cannot do this, we can find another way to purchase items anytime and anywhere. Think of some other ways." Zhang Wei said with a smile.
"What can I do?"
"You can add something similar to a messenger. There are empty spaces in this messenger. Players can operate this messenger, go to the store to buy items and equipment, and then send them to the hero. Although this is Some operations have been added, but the hero does not have to run back and forth to the store. "
"What's more, the courier can be killed, so the items and equipment inside will be exploded, and there will be an additional way to intercept the courier. "Tactics!"
"As for adding recovery props you mentioned, I also have an idea. How about adding a permanent prop, such as an empty bottle. When this empty bottle is close to one's own spring, it will be filled. Then use it as a consumable prop. When it is used up, it will become an empty bottle and you can go back to fill it with spring water.
With the courier I mentioned earlier, the courier can go back and forth between the springs and keep filling it. Fill the bottles and give them to the heroes, so that the heroes on the frontline can always get supplies and do not need to return to the spring water, so the rhythm of the game will be improved a lot," Zhang Wei continued.
"That's a good idea! Have you brought a pen and paper? I'll write it down! I'll study it carefully when I get back."
DOTA's messenger was only added to the game in version 6.38. At the beginning, it was not only available It can transport items, release item skills, insert eyes, and has a field of view of 1800. It can be used as a scout, but it has to be purchased with money and the price is very high.
In later versions, the messenger became a direct gift, the field of view was reduced to 400, unable to insert eyes, a shield skill was added, and it was also modified so that it would not drop items after being killed.
When it came to DOTA2, Valve retained the courier setting and also gave the courier various skins. When it comes to skin, everyone knows that it’s just about making money!
The magic bottle is a prop that appeared in version 6.48b. This prop directly increases the hero's frontline supply and life-saving capabilities, and also increases the player's experience to a certain extent.
Just imagine, if you have to go home to replenish supplies after defeating a few monsters, what kind of gaming experience can you get just by checking the steps on WeChat?
In the same way, if you are always killed and then hang up to wait for resurrection, the game experience will be the same.
With the magic bottle as a prop, the hero can stay on the front line for a long time to deal damage, and at critical moments, he can recover blood to save his life.
Zhang Wei took out a paper and pen from his bag and handed them to Yao Xiaoguang. Then he took out a bank card and handed them over together.
"Brother Xiaoyao, there are two hundred thousand in this card, and the password is the last six digits. You can use it first!"
"No, I can't ask for your money!" Yao Xiaoguang immediately declined.
"Brother Xiaoyao, you spent a lot of money on medical treatment, and you also have to spend money on subsequent rehabilitation. Prices in Beijing are already expensive, and daily necessities are all expenses. Don't reject me."
Zhang Wei directly put the bank card into Yao Xiaoguang's hand, and then said: "Besides, if you want to make a DOTA map, don't you need a good computer? This money can be considered as an early investment in equipment for our business, use it to buy it A good computer!”
……
In the editorial department of Science, editor-in-chief Donald Kennedy has read Zhang Wei’s paper for the Nth time.
"Molecular biology is going to change!" Donald Kennedy sighed. This was the Nth time he sighed.
As a biologist, he certainly knows what it will mean once the technology of genetic scissors is released.
The principle of genetic scissors is completely different from the current technology, which means that the gene editing technology currently used will be completely overturned, and the gene editing technology under research will also lose its meaning.
I don’t know how many project teams will cry all night because their long-term research will be in vain. The birth of new technologies will turn all their past research into waste paper, all the money invested in the past will be in vain, and their jobs may not be saved.
But more scientific research project teams will be ecstatic. A technology with lower cost and higher efficiency means that they can do more experiments. Projects that they originally did not dare to study. You can study it, new scientific research projects will be born, and more scientific researchers will have jobs.
"Ding dong!" the voice of the email sounded.
Donald Kennedy looked up at the monitor and opened the new email.
"It was sent by Zhang Wei. I want to change the author signature and add several authors. There are also author resumes at the back. One professor, two associate professors, and one postdoctoral fellow. They are all higher in rank than the original ones. .”
After reading the email, Donald Kennedy didn’t take it seriously at all.
It is also very common to add authors before a paper is published. These people who were added later were most likely not members of the project team, but related people who had been inserted by some academic circles. Donald Kennedy is already used to this.
Don't think that while doing scientific research abroad, Hawking doesn't have to stand up and toast. Who knows what the paralyzed brother performed on Epstein's island!
There are also academic circles and connections abroad, and there are also people who use their signatures to make their resumes more beautiful.
Experimenters without connections have to start by cleaning test tubes and feeding mice, and then impress the professor with your performance. The professor will give you more work if he sees that you are diligent.
Interpreters with connections can also enter key laboratories from the beginning and do some more important work. It doesn’t matter if you don’t do well, someone will take the blame for you. When you publish the results and publish the paper, Your signature can still be ranked first.
Similarly, those engaged in scientific research abroad also have superior leaders. If the leader is not satisfied with you, you will also be put in the shoes.
Even Einstein was not welcomed by the US government in his later years and was called an "enemy of the United States" by Hospital McCarthy.
Oppenheimer, another scientist, was even worse. It is not an exaggeration to say that he was persecuted, and he was humiliated for many years even after his death.
In fact, the whole world has the same virtue. Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes, so we must pay attention to human relations and sophistication. Especially when you are in a vortex, you will pay attention to being in harmony with the light!
……
Gold-rimmed glasses just finished a meeting and returned to the office. He picked up the tea cup on the table and took a sip. The temperature was just right. He licked his lips with satisfaction. It seemed that the secretary was still very attentive!
At this time, the subordinate knocked on the door and walked in. He noticed that he seemed to be in a good mood through his gold-rimmed glasses, so he had the courage to come to the desk.
"Boss, let me report to you about the signature of the paper. Didn't you tell me to contact Tsinghua University on the fourth day? Today is the fourth day. In the morning, I talked to Tsinghua University. I've been contacted."
"Did they agree?" Gold-rimmed glasses asked confidently.
"No!" The subordinate shook his head.
"You didn't agree? Do you still want to bargain with me? You don't know how to flatter me!" A trace of anger rose on his face with gold-rimmed glasses.
"Leader, they did not bargain any more, but said that the signature of the paper has been confirmed and cannot be changed!"
"The signature has been confirmed? What does it mean?"
"That's the signatures we want, none of them were given." The subordinate glanced at the expression on the gold-rimmed glasses, and then said: "Not only the first author we want, but also the fifteen signatures were not given, I said before that I could give them The corresponding author is gone!”
“What!” The gold-rimmed glasses slapped the table angrily: “That’s too much! Are they too brave to take advantage of us? Don’t give it!”
"The Tsinghua University responded that Zhang Wei gave us three days, but we had no reply after three days. Zhang Wei even waited until 12 o'clock in the morning before sending a message to the United States to confirm the final decision. Sign the paper!"
"Then I have to thank him?" The gold-rimmed glasses snorted.
Feeling that the gold-rimmed glasses were full of anger, his subordinates quickly lowered their heads, not daring to say any more words.
"Okay, it's true that newborn cows are not afraid of tigers! It seems that tigers don't show off their power, so they really think I'm a sick cat!" He gritted his teeth fiercely with gold-rimmed glasses, and then said:
< br>“In the future, for any project that Zhang Wei applies for, no one penny of funds will be granted to him! Also, isn’t Tsinghua University protecting him? In the future, Tsinghua University’s application for project funds will also be subject to strict review by me!”< br>
"Leader, how strict should the strict review be?" The subordinate paused and asked in a low voice: "After all, it is Tsinghua University, and it is also responsible for many national-level scientific research tasks!"
The subtext of the subordinate Yes, Tsinghua University is not a soft persimmon, nor can it be manipulated casually. There are people above it. If you want to block Tsinghua University's scientific research funds, you must do things within the rules.
Golden-rimmed glasses thought for a while and said: "The country's money does not fall from the sky. We must be frugal financially and allocate funds to us every year. Naturally, we cannot spend a penny indiscriminately. .
Of course, funds for necessary scientific research projects must be allocated in accordance with regulations. There is no need to be so anxious about this allocation time. Work slowly and carefully, don't make any mistakes, and just allocate the funds before the deadline.
As for non-essential scientific research projects, we still need support, but we need to hold meetings and seriously discuss research. After all, the country’s money cannot be spent carelessly. Every penny must be spent wisely. Spend it on meaningful and valuable projects! ”
"Okay, leader, I understand!" The subordinate nodded, and he had figured out the intention of the gold-rimmed glasses.
……
Zhang Wei walked into Principal Gu’s office.
Principal Gu was writing a document. When he saw Zhang Wei coming in, he put down the pen in his hand and asked, "Zhang Wei, why are you here? Do you have anything to do with me?"
" Principal, are you stuck in funding?" Zhang Wei asked cheerfully.
"Who did you listen to?"
"There are so many professors in our school doing so many scientific research projects every year, and each project requires money. There is a funding problem, how could I not know about it. "Zhang Wei said.
"There are some problems with the recent fund allocation, and it is not withheld. It is just that the speed is a little slower and the process takes a little longer. I am coordinating."
"Principal, please don't You hid it from me because I didn’t want to sign it. Someone has put some shoes on our school!”
Principal Gu was silent for a few seconds and said, “This matter is none of your business, I will coordinate it. Yes. Just study hard and do scientific research.”
"I want to be practical, practical! Because my funds are stuck, the whole school is scolding me, right?" Zhang Wei smiled slightly, and then said: "Principal, I know, there are people in our school, but this matter It’s a matter of fact. You don’t have many chips on hand when you go to coordinate it!”
“What do you mean, are you here to give me chips?”
Zhang Wei? He nodded, and first took out the latest issue of the "Science" journal from his bag.
“The paper on genetic scissors will be published in the latest issue of Science. The value of this paper is much higher than that of previous nucleoside modifications. Once published, it will shock the entire biological world. By then, domestic There are definitely not a few people who come to us to buy patents. This is a bargaining chip!"
Zhang Wei took out another letter and handed it to Principal Gu.
"Principal, this is my letter of withdrawal! This is also another bargaining chip!"
"What? You are dropping out of school again!"
Principal Gu looked at Zhang Wei in surprise, thinking Why is this child like this every year? He drops out of school if he disagrees with her!
“I dropped out of school. First of all, I can give an explanation to the school. After all, it was me who caused the trouble. Secondly, the school can also give an explanation to those people. I dropped out of school, and then give our school an explanation. If you wear small shoes, you will be unknown!
Thirdly, if I drop out, I can make a fuss about it, such as the topic of first-class scholars being forced to leave. Then our school will become a victim. If you complain to the higher authorities, you will be justified!" Zhang Wei explained slowly.
"No, even if we win the lawsuit, the loss of you will not be worth the loss!" Principal Gu immediately refused.
"When the college entrance examination takes place this year, I will just take it again. It's not difficult to get into Tsinghua University!" Zhang Wei said with a sparse and ordinary look.
"I really forgot about this, this kid got 750 points for two consecutive years."
Principal Gu hesitated for two seconds and said: "That's not right, the registration time for the college entrance examination is Is it already passed? You are dropping out of school now, it is too late to register!"
"Isn't it just a matter of registration? Can you give me a backdoor if you call our education department?" br>
In fact, there is no need to worry about the principal calling and going through the back door. Even if you have to go back and retake the college entrance examination with a score of 700 or more, the Education Department will open this back door. This is an additional source of top students in the country, which can surely improve the province's college entrance examination results this year. .
Zhang Wei continued: "Dropping out of school is just the first step in my plan. After I drop out, I plan to go to the United States again."
"Why are you going to the United States?" Principal Gu asked confused.
"Go to the United States to do scientific research! When I make some achievements in the United States, if you complain here, the stakes will be even heavier. The world's top scholars were forced to drop out of school, and they were also forced to go to the United States. , do you think someone will take responsibility when something like this happens?
How dare those who dare to wear small shoes for us still hold their positions in the future? Are you causing trouble for us?" Zhang Wei asked with a smile.
"No, if you want to do scientific research, you can do it at Tsinghua University. Why do you have to go to the United States? You don't have to worry about funding. We still have a small treasury at Tsinghua University, enough for you to do several projects!" Principal Gu said quickly.
"Principal, I know you want to keep the scientific research results in Tsingta University, but today's small sacrifice is also for the bright future of tomorrow!"
Zhang Wei paused. Then he said: "And when I go to the United States this time, I plan to go to Princeton University and join Professor Shi Yigong. Then you can rest assured!"
"With Shi Yigong watching you, I can Don't worry. But I still don't think it's necessary! In fact, if you just drop out of school, it's enough for me to file a lawsuit. There is no need to go to the United States." Principal Gu still refused to let go.
"Let's go to the United States and help you kidnap Professor Shi back to our Tsinghua University. Then you won't feel like you're losing money, right?" Zhang Wei said with a smile.
"What do you mean?" Principal Gu blinked inexplicably.
“I’m going to persuade Professor Shi Yigong to return to China for development!”
