At the end of 2013, this international computer vision conference had some dark humor.

The most important technological achievements were not published in the papers. Meng Fanqi submitted all of them to the computer vision and pattern recognition conference next year, and the competition seminar was not included in the main program.

The sub-conference was much more popular than the main conference. Due to limited space in the rooms, the conference organizers prioritized allowing academics to enter.

Very few people from the media were able to enter the venue.

After the conference ended, Meng Fanqi and the others felt tired, so they quickly slipped away from the venue.

The journalists waiting at the door with their cameras and microphones waited for a long time, but they let go of the few young people who had come out with the others.

After all, they didn't look like the ones who needed to be photographed or interviewed.

Only a few journalists who had done their homework vigorously took photos of Meng Fanqi.

Some journalists nearby found it strange, "Why are you taking photos? Hinton, Ross, and Likun haven't come out yet."

"We're still taking photos of Hinton, Ross. Everyone is tired of seeing them. Do you know who just passed by? Most of the breakthroughs in the field of vision this year were done by him alone."

What level of journalism is this? They don't even know who to take photos of.

The journalist answered while sneering in his heart.

The most widely spread thing in this conference was not Meng Fanqi or Han Ci's academic presentations and Q&A sessions. Very few people actually went to see these things.

Instead, it was the photo captured during Meng Fanqi's final Q&A session.

This photo, with Meng Fanqi at the center, was surrounded by influential figures in the academic and industrial fields.

It contained many contrasting elements, such as nationality and age.

The young scholar from China in the core position, surrounded by older scholars from Europe and America, made the focal point of the entire picture very prominent.

As a result, this photo later spread widely in China.

The big boss finally finished the academic conference and the contract with Google, so the others felt comfortable suggesting going out to play.

"I want to see penguins! Penguins are so cute!" Mai Mang loved all kinds of cute animals and couldn't contain her excitement.

A quick look at "paw𝑟ead.com" will leave you more fulfilled.

"You'll lose points, lose points. You're breaking the rules." Tang Huang immediately pointed out Mai Mang's mistake. "The big boss hasn't given the order yet, how dare you?"

"Aren't penguins only in the Antarctic?" Meng Fanqi didn't know much about animals, but he didn't have any particular place he wanted to go.

When you come to a new place, you should also see the local customs and animals.

"Penguins are mostly in the southern hemisphere. If you're talking about the Antarctic, Australia and New Zealand are quite close. I remember there are many little blue penguins on Macquarie Island." Han Ci had a great memory and couldn't forget many things she had seen.

"Little blue penguins are the smallest among all penguins. Small animals are usually cute. Let's go and see." Han Ci also responded to Mai Mang's call.

"Sure, let's go and see." Meng Fanqi actually knew an interesting technical story about little blue penguins. Linus Torvalds, the creator of the Linux operating system, was once bitten by a little blue penguin while on vacation in Australia.

This directly led him to choose the emperor penguin, the most well-known and recognizable penguin, as the official symbol and mascot of the Linux operating system.

The Sydney Wildlife Park is right in the city center, less than 2-3 kilometers away from the conference venue, which surprised everyone.

They had all prepared for a long journey, but they didn't expect that they could reach it just by taking a walk.

Although it was called an indoor wildlife park, it was designed more like a park.

The animals inside were either eating or sleeping, very leisurely.

"Wow, this grey kangaroo is so ugly." Mai Mang exclaimed loudly when she saw the kangaroo up close. After judging the animal by its appearance, she was very disappointed to find that kangaroos were not as cute as she had imagined.

"Be careful, its arms are all muscles. Watch out for it punching you."

Apart from the native kangaroos, the koalas were quite cute.

"Koalas spend 80% of their lives in trees and sleep for more than 18 hours a day. Isn't that a bit boring?" Liu Xu looked at the introduction of the animals next to him and felt a bit emotional.

"Then why don't you calculate how much time we spend studying and working? And then calculate how much time we spend sleeping, and see how much is left?"

"Let's not talk about it, let's not talk about it. Talking about it will only bring tears."

The timing was just right for the group of people, as the park had just opened for a close-up visit to the penguins.

In addition to buying some carrots to feed the giraffes, they also had the opportunity to feed some small penguins.After the zookeeper led a group of about a dozen people into the pavilion, he enthusiastically introduced, "The little blue penguin is the smallest penguin in the world, usually only about 40 centimeters tall when fully grown."

"They usually nest here and eat by the pond over there."

As the zookeeper was introducing, two little blue penguins waddled past, causing the tourists to exclaim in hushed voices.

"They're so cute."

"They're waddling so proudly."

"These two penguins are homosexual penguins in our zoo, both of them are males." The zookeeper introduced dutifully.

A white guy from Scotland immediately got excited, "Tell me everything, I want to know all the stories of these two penguins!"

"I would like to ask you all, can you distinguish between male and female penguins?"

The group of tourists shook their heads in confusion, then seemed to realize something.

"Good, I think you probably guessed the reason, many penguins actually can't tell the difference either."

"During the mating season last year, other penguins started to mate, and these two penguins were also mating. But months passed, other penguins laid eggs, but they couldn't lay their own eggs."

"So they wandered around the penguin pile all day, completely confused about why things turned out this way."

"In the end, they found a stone that looked like an egg and brought it home. They would take turns incubating this stone for an hour or two every day."

Upon hearing this, the tourists all expressed sympathy for them.

Just then, a very small penguin stumbled after them and rushed over.

The zookeeper explained that this was because she had taken an egg from a penguin that had laid many eggs and given it to these two homosexual penguins to incubate.

"Aw~ So cute." A few girls found the story very touching.

"Cute is just because they are penguins." Meng Fanqi was completely immune to such things, "Imagine, replacing the penguins in the story with humans."

"Shut up!!"
