From a university student to a chief academician

Chapter 24 Zhong Jiaqing Mathematics Award
As soon as he entered Professor Lu Yishan's office, Lu Yishan waved with a smile on his face and said, "Ye Fei, sit down."

Ye Fei wondered why the instructor was so happy?Salary increase?

After Ye Fei sat down, Lu Yishan said: "Just now the dean told me that he wants to report you to the Zhong Jiaqing Mathematics Award Fund Executive Committee to see if you can win the Zhong Jiaqing Mathematics Award."

"Zhong Jiaqing Mathematics Award?" Ye Fei was surprised: "Is it one of the three major mathematics awards of the Xia Kingdom?"

"Yes!" Professor Lu nodded, "That's the award."

People in the academic circle usually engage in scientific research in order to gain status, knowledge and money.

The award is the best proof of one's own scientific research.

It's like a student getting a certificate of merit.

No one can refuse an award, the more the merrier!

The more important the award, the better. Xiaguo's three major mathematics awards, Hua Luogeng Mathematics Award, Chen Shiingshen Award and Zhong Jiaqing Mathematics Award, are coveted by countless people.

Among the three major awards, only the Zhong Jiaqing Mathematics Award is awarded to Xia Guo's most outstanding master's and doctoral students majoring in mathematics.

If you have graduated with a Ph.D. for more than three years, you will not have the opportunity to participate in the selection of the Zhong Jiaqing Mathematics Award.

"Mentor, although I have solved the two world problems, you also know that they all belong to set theory, which is very unpopular and not very helpful for mathematics."

"Is there any certainty in this evaluation?"

Ye Fei has some concerns. As far as he knows, all mathematics awards in the world must be awarded by scholars whose research results have a huge role in promoting mathematics.

However, the two world problems he proved did not have much effect on mathematics.

"Don't worry!" Professor Lu said with a smile: "The academy has asked someone about this. If you are not sure, the academy will not help you report it."

"Huh..." Ye Fei let out a long breath, his heart beating excitedly.

Zhong Jiaqing Mathematics Award, he had never thought about it before, but now he seems to be able to think about it.

"You can just wait at ease now, the result will be around the end of this month." Professor Lu said: "Of course, competing for awards is like guessing a blind box. No one knows the result until the end."

"Don't worry too much about this award, even if you don't get it, with your ability, you will get it sooner or later."

"After all, a PhD can be evaluated within three years of graduation."

"Actually, most of them are evaluated after graduation, and it is rare to be evaluated when they are PhD students."

Professor Lu believes in Ye Fei's ability. Even if he doesn't get the evaluation this time, he will definitely get the evaluation within three years.

"Yeah!" Ye Fei nodded, but he was still full of anticipation in his heart, hoping that he could be rated this time.

He didn't want to be selected for many times, and he was selected only after he lost his name many times.

That kind of tension and excitement is very uncomfortable.

"That's right!" Professor Lu said: "You have solved the problem of the tiny tower, what do you want to do next?"

Ye Fei said: "Of course we will continue to do scientific research."

"You can't keep doing scientific research either, take a proper rest."

"It is necessary to take a break, but it can't be too long. A few days of rest is enough."

"Then what research do you want to do?"

"I'm thinking!" Ye Fei shook his head: "I still do research on set theory, but there are several unsolved problems in set theory. I'm hesitating, which one should I do?"

Professor Lu looked confused, what's wrong, the set theory problem has been stuffed into your mind, you can solve it if you say it!
But think about it, Ye Fei has solved two problems of set theory.

It is also very easy to solve, and there is no problem for more than three months.

It seems that solving set theory problems is very easy for him.

Professor Lu seemed to feel the strong breath of Versailles.

Professor Lu said: "Why don't you solve the Turing equivalence problem!"

"Turing equivalence?" Ye Fei said, "But I don't understand computers. To solve this problem, I need to cooperate with people who understand computers."

Mathematics is the foundation of all natural subjects, and computers also use a lot of mathematics.

There is a man in history named Alan Matheson Turing, the father of computer and the father of artificial intelligence.

The Turing machine model proposed by Turing laid the foundation for the logical way that modern computers work.

It can be said that without Turing, there would be no computer today.

The current computer and artificial intelligence are all proposed by Turing.

Turing equivalence is an equivalence relationship between natural number sets naturally induced by Turing machines in computing theory.

The study of Turing equivalence is conducive to improving the computing speed of computers.

The so-called computing speed is, for example, computer A and computer B, A and B have the same hardware, A uses Turing equivalence, B is useless.

But A runs faster than B.

"That's exactly what I want to tell you." Professor Lu said: "I have a friend who is the head of the Computer Computing Laboratory of Zhonghu University. I want you to cooperate with him."

"Computing power laboratory?" Ye Fei said, "Is that the local laboratory?"

All major universities have many laboratories or research institutes, and they are also graded.

Among them, local laboratories have the lowest level and receive the least attention, while state key laboratories have the highest level and receive the most attention.

Zhonghu University has two state key laboratories and fifteen local laboratories.

Generally, local laboratories are assigned a professor to take care of them. There are five or six graduate students under him, and the annual allocation is about 100 million.

And scientific research projects are not taken seriously, and funding is often not in place.

In many cases, the person in charge has to pull money from the outside to cooperate with companies in the market.

But if you want to cooperate with enterprises and get money from them, how easy is it?

"That's the laboratory!" Professor Lu said: "You don't think it's a local laboratory, but the person in charge still has the ability. He is a full professor of the School of Computer Science and is at the same level as me."

"He has studied Turing's algorithm for more than ten years, and has deep research."

Ye Fei smiled and said, "Since it was recommended by you, the instructor, it's not bad, then let me meet this professor, I want to chat with him."

"Yes!" Professor Lu nodded, "I'll call him now."

With that said, he took out his phone and made a call.

This person is actually a friend of Professor Lu. Ye Fei thought of his friend when he said that he was going to start a new scientific research project.

Ye Fei needs the computer ability of the other party, and the other party needs Ye Fei's scientific research ability in Turing equivalence.

This is a win-win situation that benefits both parties.

Soon, the other party came.

This is a tall, thin, middle-aged man with dark skin, glasses and thinning hair.

Ye Fei looked at the top of the opponent's head and nodded secretly. It seems that his ability is really good, otherwise his hair would not be so thin.

In the computer industry, even if the hair is not thin, they all feel that the other party is unprofessional.

"Old Lu!" The middle-aged man walked in, glanced at Ye Fei, and said, "Is this your student?"

"En!" Lu Yishan nodded: "Ye Fei, let me introduce you to Zhou Kang, a full professor of the School of Computer Science."

"Hello, Professor Zhou!" Ye Fei stretched out his hand.

"Hello!" Professor Zhou shook hands with Ye Fei, and then found a place to sit down.

"Ye Fei, I've heard of you too, but there is a big difference between mathematics and computers. If you are good at mathematics, you may not be good at computers."

"Of course, there are many mathematical problems that are used in computer algorithms."

"But I want to make it clear that algorithms belong to computer science after all. It relies on mathematics, but only a small part, and most of them still require computer knowledge."

"So, you cooperate with me, I want to investigate."

"If you are not capable, I don't want to waste time and change immediately."

Ye Fei was surprised, he still depends on the opponent's ability!
That's good, I haven't said to inspect the other party, but the other party wants to inspect myself.

Ye Fei said: "Naturally, but Professor Zhou, let me also explain that if your ability is not good, I will not cooperate with you."

The other party said it was so straightforward, and he didn't make any fuss.

Professor Zhou stared at Ye Fei, and Ye Fei looked at him without blinking.

Professor Lu watched the show and did not interrupt them.

Professor Zhou is very capable, but he speaks too bluntly and easily offends others.

Ye Fei is also capable. When these two capable people meet together, they will definitely work well together.

After a long time, Professor Zhou nodded and said: "Yes, if you are incapable, I will let you go. If I am incapable, you can replace immediately, and I will not pester you."

"Okay!" Ye Fei nodded.

With that said, create tasks in the system.

[Task: Turing Equivalence Problem
In detail: Seeking breakthroughs in computability theory
Reward: 100 points]

"Another 100 points?"
