At Stanford University, a bus was parked at the entrance of the student dormitory.

After a short few days of academic exchange activities, Stanford University arranged a special event today - a visit to high-tech enterprises.

As the cradle of Silicon Valley, almost all high-tech companies in Silicon Valley have various unexplained relationships with Stanford University. It is not a matter of minutes to arrange a company to visit.

Professor Nils Nilson is old and has not accompanied him to participate in the event. The person who led the team today is Professor Jeffrey Ullman.

The bus set off slowly, carrying the teachers and students of Fu'an University toward a well-known Silicon Valley company.

The first stop was HP.

As one of the kings of the PC era, HP has a long history and was founded in 1939 by Bill Hewlett and David Packard.

The company is built in a car garage in Palo Alto, and its first product is an audio oscillator, an electronic testing instrument used by sound engineers.

With this, HP took the express train of development of the electronics industry until it launched its own computer brand, becoming a high-tech giant that can be compared with IBM.

This is also the origin of Silicon Valley's "garage culture" and also represents a entrepreneurial spirit that has always been talked about by entrepreneurs from all over the world.

Apple, Microsoft, and Google are all startups that come out of the garage.

Although their success is not universal, it seems to be a trend and habit to start a business in the United States from a garage and then to a successful startup in the future. Countless entrepreneurs have dreams of garages.

Of course, starting a business will definitely lead to a few successes, but there are always some lucky people who have been writing the legend of garage culture.

The group felt HP's decades of development, the company's technological research and development reserves, and the top technology companies' persistent pursuit of products.

Even Professor Huang couldn't help but sigh that the country's electronics and IT industries are still far from the world's top level.

The old professor said earnestly: "Students, you see the gap!"

We still have a long way to go, so we must not be arrogant!

But everyone doesn’t have to be discouraged. Our task is to work hard and catch up. As scientific researchers, we have no choice but to do so."

Professor Huang's words seemed to ignite the flames of hope and fighting spirit in the hearts of the students.

Everyone's eyes were very firm. They were infected by the spiritual heritage of the older generation of scientific researchers and were full of confidence.

Perhaps, this is the reason why Professor Huang insists on leading the team himself.

After visiting HP, the same itinerary will be held in the next two or three days. I visited Oracle, Apple, Intel, Yahoo, Cisco and other technologies.

This time, the students no longer feel guilty and no longer belittle themselves.

Looking at these technology giants, everyone has endless motivation and the spirit of exploring cutting-edge technology.

Only after seeing the real peaks can you not be like a frog in a well.

Only by having enough objective understanding of things can we make the most correct judgments and choices.

The development of the electronics and information industries abroad has been decades earlier, and this is an objective fact. Only by realizing where the gap is, can we know which direction to work hard.

As long as you try to catch up, the gap will one day get smaller and smaller until it no longer exists.

Just like the field of headphones or acoustics, more than a decade later, domestic companies have the industry's top technologies and products.

When you stand high enough, you will naturally see the road ahead.

Walking along the right path, one day you will leave the original leader behind. Doesn’t the development of electronic industries in Neon and Kimchi Country justify this?

On this day, the teachers and students came to the last stop of the visit, a new celebrity startup company - Google.

Speaking of this company, it not only has a lot of connections with Stanford University, but the most important thing is that the founder Sergey Brin was a PhD studying at Stanford. Another founder of Google, Larry Page, was his classmate and friend.

And their mentor is Professor Jeffrey Ullman.

It was the research fund funded by Professor Jeffrey Ullman that allowed Sergey Brin to complete the research project during his PhD, which was the core of developing Google search capabilities.

"Query Flocks" is part of Google's patented "PageRank" search system, developed by Sergey Brin while working for the SA-MDDS project at Stanford University and funded by the National Science Foundation, IBM and Hitachi.

It is precisely because of this that Sergey Brin founded Google with his classmate Larry Page.

It can be seen from this that the R&D work of truly top universities is closely related to government and enterprises. There is no need for a wall to protect the so-called ivory tower between universities and society.

The best way to cultivate scientific research is to embrace enterprises, embrace society, and compete with the world's top-notch level.

Children who keep drinking milk will never grow up.

When we arrived at Google, everyone was warmly received. This time, the two founders of Google came out to receive it in person.

After all, Google is just a celebrity startup company now, and the five American technology giants are not even invisible now.

"Professor Jeffrey Ullman, long time no see! Welcome all friends from China!" Sergey Brin was very enthusiastic.

Since accepting the investment from [Singularity Fund], he has developed a special favorable impression of China.

Who made [Singularity Fund] different from those shameless guys on Wall Street?

It neither urged them to develop their business desperately nor did it use to point fingers at the company. Google's management hasn't even asked, how can we find such a good investor?

No wonder China's culture is profound and profound. The people there are all humble and honest, and they are easy to get along with.

It is precisely because of this that for today's guests, Sergey Brin and Larry Page, came out to receive them in person.

Today, Google is just a small company that has just started a business, and there is nothing to visit in the office.

After Sergey Brin led everyone around casually, he brought to the conference room and played a video introducing Google's search engine, as well as the projects under development, and the difficulties encountered.

"Everyone, our Google search engine's PageRank algorithm is a technology that calculates based on hyperlinks between pages. It can easily reflect the relevance and importance of pages and recommend the most accurate pages to users.

However, the current problem is that there are problems with the sorting of the search results.

The most matching websites are often not displayed in the front.

If you have any good suggestions or solutions, I am willing to offer a generous enough reward on behalf of Google, hahahahaha..."

He originally said that Google's search technology was boring, so he wanted to make a joke to adjust the relaxed atmosphere of the speech.

Unexpectedly, the college teachers and students listened carefully and fell into deep thought.

"Why not classify and classify all websites in another way?" A sudden voice came out, "Add a theme classification weight for the website. The links between the topic-related web pages contribute more to the weight calculation than those of the topic-related links.

Wouldn't this set of algorithms be used together with the PageRank algorithm to achieve good and accurate sorting?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the audience was shocked.

The one who speaks is our super academic beauty Su Jinyi.

Everyone thought about it carefully, and the more they thought about it, the more they felt it was very operational.

Sergey Brin's eyes lit up, and he immediately asked, "How to define the rating and how to assign the weight of the topic?"

Search engines are not simply manual classification and allocation, but require programs to complete related work intelligently.

Otherwise, the workload would not be completed by manpower.

"I think we can rank the website itself. Government and non-profit websites can be rated as the highest level.

Large commercial websites and well-known corporate websites have higher credits and can be rated as the next-level level, and so on to establish a database of rating indexes.

Then, the website's theme association weight can be determined based on the number of keywords and related pages in the website.

The product of the rating weight and the topic weight is the pointing weight of a link. All the pointing weights are added together to be the final search weight of a page.

I think such an algorithm, combined with the PageRank algorithm, will definitely give a good search order." Su Jinyi explained slowly, and he was very confident.

"Okay, great! This is simply a genius idea." Larry Page, another founder of Google, clapped and praised him after hearing this.

Everyone present looked at her and cast envious eyes on her genius thinking.

Su Jin blushed in an instant. She was embarrassed. Isn’t this the most basic way of thinking?

If others know what she is thinking, they must be inferior.
Chapter completed!
