Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

Not only did Xiaotong not expect the paper published in "Econometrica" to be so hot, he didn't even think about the ark, he guessed that he had just returned home, was about to cut ties with the outside world, while drilling into Lehman's assumptions, while taking a safe vacation until the end of the year, the mailbox was flooded with tidy letters.

Some of them were sent from his old friends in Princeton and some were unknown, but from the introduction of the newspaper, it seemed that they were scholars working in macroeconomics, computational economics, etc., and many of them were more famous.

It was also from these emails that the Ark learned that its mathematical model had caught fire halfway through the economics world, and that several seminars on the economics of this mathematical model had been held at universities in New York, Boston, London and elsewhere.

And those who found out what his economists meant, basically the same as Professor Krugman, were hoping that he would continue his research on the Lu-Bewley model, taking macroeconomics and computational economics to a higher peak.

Unfortunately, however, the ship is not very interested.

At first, he seriously replied to several emails, expressing a euphemistic rejection. Later, more and more emails were sent. He simply dumped Egg to reply.

For a while, Ark Zhou was cleaned up a lot, and finally had time to calm down and continue drilling for the mathematical tool he had created for some time - the "hyperelliptical curve analysis".

On the evening of the third day before Spring Festival, London time was probably just after noon.

Little Tong packing his bags, opening a WeChat video, routinely harassing his brother on vacation, and reporting to the Ark the good news that he was invited by Professor Krugman to Princeton to read Bo.

After listening to Xiaotong groan with excitement, the ark suddenly interrupted her after a moment of reflection.

“Xiaotong. ”

“Hmm?”

I was suddenly called by the name, and the video was plugging the little dress into the suitcase. Little Tong didn't look back, and the sound said he heard it.

After a pause, the ark continued.

“In theory, a model based on economics… can you predict the future? ”

He almost forgot what Professor Krugman and he had said these days, but Xiaotong suddenly mentioned that he had been accepted by the Noble Prize winner, but he reminded the Ark of it again.

Anticipating the future…

Forecasting the future social environment and even the political landscape through macroeconomic changes…

Is this really possible?

Hearing this strange question, Xiaotong stopped to pack his suitcase and twisted his head for a moment before answering seriously.

“I can't say no… but economics doesn't exist to predict the future. ”

Ark: “What's that for? ”

“For the efficient allocation of social resources… or in other words, to move the future in a better direction? ”

In saying this, Xiaotong's tone is not particularly certain. After all, she is only a master's student who has just graduated less than a month. For her, there is still a long way to go on the academic path.

“Well...”

If the ark is thoughtful, it has nothing to say about it.

Looking back at the computer screen, like a thinking brother, Xiaotong asked curiously.

“Dude, aren't you studying Lehman's assumptions? Why is that so sudden? ”

Suddenly, her heart moved and she said with joy.

“… Are you suddenly interested in economics? ”

“You think too much, but suddenly someone mentioned this interesting question to me," Didn't tell her that this person was her future mentor, Ark laughed, ended the topic, went on to say, “Speaking of which number are you back this year? ”

This is an interesting subject, but not enough to fascinate the ark.

After all, the so-called prediction of the future is merely a conjecture, and Professor Krugman did not even use a very positive tone when he mentioned it to him.

Of course, if he could, he wouldn't mind taking the time to study it, and using quantum computers to observe what would happen in the future.

Of course, I don't want to profit from this technology or anything, just out of a scholar's perspective, curiosity about the unknown...

Xiaotong said happily: "Tomorrow's plane!” She landed in Shanghai for a couple of days, then came back on the high-speed train.

The ark nodded.

“Then come back and talk… By the way, do you have enough money to live on? ”

“Humph, without your money, my pay for outsourcing work from HSBC is not low, it's much higher than when you worked... By the way, man, are you home? ”

It's a little skinny, but the only thing I don't want to bother with is being carved out of my own mould. In the beginning, I felt the same way, my wings had just grown hard, and I didn't want a penny of it at home.

Hearing Xiaotong's first half, the Ark couldn't help laughing and nodding.

“Well, yesterday. ”

“I envy you… I'll go down for lunch later and hang up first. ”

“Well, come back early. ”

After hanging up the video phone, the ark looked at the table below. In a few minutes, Mom should probably knock on the door and ask herself to come over for dinner.

But just as he was getting ready to walk around, the bottom right corner of the computer screen popped up with a bunch of bubbles.

Xiao Ei: [Master, Xiao Ei received a special email here, do you need me to reply to you? ♪ (^ ∇ ^ *)

The ark was slightly hesitant to see the hint on this line.

“… what does that mean, in particular? ”

Em: [From a lady named Vera. (✿P)]

Vera?

After hearing this unexpected name, the ark was slightly stunned, and then settled to say.

“… I'll get back to you. ”

[Ok ~ (good coincidence .jpg)]

While wondering how Em can identify which emails she might want to reply to herself, I think it was the last upgrade that improved the intelligence of some of her AID classmates.

But just as the Ark was preparing to open the mail, the door suddenly knocked.

“Boat, someone is looking for you outside. ”

Through the door, my voice came.

Slightly stunned, the ark thought carefully, as if there were no appointments or anything like that, subconsciously asked for confirmation.

“To me? ”

“Eh! I'm looking for you. They call themselves from River University. They're all teachers! There's another one I hear is a scholar! They're so polite, they're all waiting at the door, let me ask you first. ”

Listening to my mother's voice seemed full of joy and even a little trembling.

Not only did my son make the university inquiry himself, but he was also a "college student”. Not only did he become an academician, but even the academicians came to visit him personally every New Year's Eve. So “talk about jokes, no white dings”, can you be unhappy to be a mother?

Besides, Jianghe University is still quite famous in Jiangling City!

However, after hearing the keywords "River University," “Teacher," and "a few academics," the heart of the ark was hidden with a slight bad feeling, or even a slight headache.

At that moment, he suddenly realized how unrealistic it was to think that he could escape those relationships back home.

“Tree desires stillness but wind does not stop...”

Xiao Ai: [(° - °??)

Fang Mei: “The boat? ”

“Nothing, I'm coming. ”

Push away the chair and stand up, and the ark head toward the door.

I always feel…

It's naive to expect yourself to sneak around for a relaxing New Year's...
