The staff behind the scenes struggled to remind the host on the stage, has been over ten minutes, the host is still persistent questions guest: I have one more question... And in the audience, the seats are full, behind many people standing to listen, the crowd from time to time burst into laughter or applause...
If you thought this was going to be a magic show or a star-chasing event, think again. This scene really happened at the 2020 Tencent ConTech Conference. All the multiplayer sessions were timed out, and the guests could not stop talking. The host who was originally responsible for holding the audience and controlling the time completely forgot the time limit and was reluctant to finish. Five hours of meetings, many people from the opening station to the end, but do not want to leave early.
It was as if this were not a professional industry event but the finale of a talk-show convention. Some commented that it was an eye-opening event.
From all walks of life gathered together, the golden sentence is often eye-opening
Nearly 30 of the world's top guests from different industries have become the biggest attraction of the conference. In addition to the "halo" and attention of the prominent guests in various fields, the sharing also brought out a lot of eye-opening wonderful content: is this epidemic actually good for mankind? Faced with the same epidemic crisis, how could China achieve full control? Is it really possible to put a chip in a person's head? Do humans explore the stars for tourism or for escape? What made her say, "Am I not tall enough?" The grilling? The scene of frequent golden sentences and unexpected expressions, let people open their eyes.
In early 2020, as COVID-19 swept the world, Jared Diamond, author of the bestselling book Guns, Germs, and Steel, shared his thoughts on COVID-19: He hopes it will eventually turn out to be a good thing, as the first recognized global disaster in human history. Every country has to face it. No country can eliminate COVID-19 alone. The need for a global response has led to cooperation and communication between countries. He said he hopes that people will be inspired by the experience of working together to tackle other issues, such as climate change, resource depletion, inequality and nuclear risks.
In the face of the global epidemic still rampant and sporadic recurrence in China, Zeng Guang, the former chief scientist of epidemic diseases at the China Center for Disease Control and Prevention, believes that China's institutional advantage in taking the lead in this epidemic is that China's collective operation can be said to be noiseless. If science drives all operations, the central government drives local operations. The battle between humans and viruses will go on forever, but this is the latest round.

Brain-computer interfaces have become a hot topic in the high-tech sector. Lu Bai, a renowned neurobiologist, said that there is still a long way to go before the public accepts the idea of implanting chips into the brain. But Hong Bo, professor of biomedical engineering at Tsinghua University School of Medicine, is confident about the future of brain-computer interface. "In five years, brain-computer interface will enter the clinic and help many disabled people. In ten years, it will enter the life of ordinary people and change our way of life. Twenty years later, it will affect the evolution of our species."
The Chang 'e-5 mission has been watched by the whole society, but in the eyes of ordinary people, it is a distant and incomprehensible event. Li Benqi, commander of Chang 'e-1 mission 01, said, "Satellite launch is a bit like a Courier, delivering valuable or not very valuable things to the destination on time and according to the needs of customers. Wang Feiyue, director of the State Key Laboratory of Complex Systems Management and Control at the Institute of Automation of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, joked: "A successful space mission will provide an escape route for human beings.
In addition to taking a global view, guests from the entertainment industry also shared their untold experiences behind the glamorous career. Chen Zhuoxuan, a member of Hard Candy Girl 303, said, "I don't have anything at the beginning. I don't say I have anything, I said the worst is nothing, but I also have the possibility to get something, so I want to see."
