They’re all reborn, what’s wrong with being a little more almighty?

Chapter 108 He really is the God of Wealth!

Xiaoxi Bahuang Junji stood there with a look of embarrassment on his face. The awesome arrogance just now had disappeared without a trace.

Professor Aardman was not looking for you at all, but you licked your face and took the initiative to shake hands with him, even using your father's name.

It turns out that Professor Adelman doesn’t know you either!

One sentence of self-introduction will disgrace two generations.

The key is that the master is standing behind!
Now that the real master has been invited to have afternoon tea by Professor Aardman, leaving his wife here, do you still have the nerve to continue to stay?
How arrogant Huang Junji was just now, how miserable he is now!

The Korean companion next to him even moved to the side, making it clear that he did not want to be embarrassed with him. Others also looked at Huang Junji with mocking eyes.

There are more than one or two people who don't like guanxi households.

"He really thought that the whole world knew his biologist father!"

A mocking voice sounded, with a strong smell of curry. Needless to say, it must be the third brother.

The third brother is a typical guy who can't do anything and is the most talkative. I have never lost an argument, and I have never won a fight. Even if you lose, talk back and say the loser is a winner.

Huang Junji's face turned purple, but for a moment he didn't know how to refute. He could only look resentfully at Zhang Wei who was walking away.

This beam is considered to be deeper.

Others also began to discuss in low voices what Zhang Wei's background was.

"That Chinese exchange student actually knows the Turing Award winner!"

"I think it's the Turing Award winner who knows him!"

"Perhaps they have never met each other, but just heard each other's name! Didn't you see just now that Professor Adelman also recognized the wrong person at first?"

"I seem to have heard something and found some prime numbers? Is it related to this?"

"It's a Mersenne prime number. It's a very special number. So far, humans have only discovered more than forty! This thing is related to cryptography." Someone said.

"So the discovery of the Mersenne primes is a great achievement?"

"It must be a great achievement to be greeted by the Aardman Professor in person! That's a Turing Award winner, not a young ordinary professor!"

The words "young ordinary professor" once again impacted Huang Junji's heart.

Isn't his acquaintance Jennifer Dodner just a young ordinary professor?

These words clearly have the connotation Huang Junji!
They all have acquaintances, and their acquaintance is a Turing Award winner and a giant in the industry; but my acquaintance is just a young ordinary professor!
Compare the two and make a judgment.

For a moment, Huang Junji felt that having acquaintances was not so good anymore!
This is like going to the hospital to see a doctor and trying to use the back door. You are awesome and say, I know the security guard of the hospital, and they come to see me when they see a doctor.

Without saying a word, a certain department director came over.

……

As a Turing Award winner, Professor Aardman is quite famous. His team occupies an entire floor, with not only independent laboratories, multiple offices, but also dedicated lounges and entertainment rooms.

The afternoon tea is also very rich. In addition to black tea and coffee, ice tea is also specially prepared. The food also includes sandwiches, cookies and small fruits.

Professor Adelman was the host, and the female professor Sophie was the companion.

"Let me introduce myself first. My name is Leonard Adman."

"Professor Adelman, the teacher who led the team just now has already introduced you! It is my honor to meet you." Zhang Wei said immediately.

"Thank you. Then let me introduce the beautiful lady next to me! Professor Sophie Goldwasser, once the head of the cryptography and information security group at MIT. Academician of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, United States Member of the National Academy of Sciences.

Professor Goldwasser has made many groundbreaking achievements in research on the theoretical basis of cryptography, such as concepts such as zero-knowledge interactive proof, probabilistic testable proof, and verifiable random functions, all of which she proposed. "

Hearing this introduction, Zhang Wei was slightly surprised. This female professor was really no ordinary person. The concepts she proposed would be the theoretical basis of modern cryptography ten years later.

However, it was 2004 at the time, and these concepts had not yet been put into practice, and the academic community did not pay much attention to them. It will take until blockchain technology begins to develop before these concepts will be applied to cryptography.

So Zhang Wei immediately complimented: "It turns out that you were the one who proposed the zero-knowledge interactive proof! I have always been very interested in the concept of zero-knowledge interactive proof, and I didn't expect to meet the person who proposed this concept!"

"Mr. Zhang is interested in zero-knowledge interactive proofs, so when we have time in the future, we can discuss it." Professor Goldwasser said politely.

The reason why Zhang Wei mentioned zero-knowledge interactive proof alone is mainly because he only has a little understanding of this theory, and he really knows nothing about other theoretical foundations of cryptography.

"What an honor!" Zhang Wei nodded, and began to wonder in his mind whether he should exchange a zero-knowledge interactive proof paper from the devil and blind your alloy dog ​​eyes!
The three of them chatted while enjoying afternoon tea, and soon they talked about Mersenne prime numbers.

"Mr. Zhang, you found five Mersenne primes in less than a month. This speed is really unexpected. Have you mastered a new calculation method?" Professor Aardman Asked.

"Professor Adelman came to me for this, indeed!" Zhang Wei thought to himself.

When the two first met, Professor Aardman asked Zhang Wei if he had discovered five Mersenne primes. Zhang Wei had already guessed that he was here for the Mersenne primes.

In less than a month, Zhang Wei discovered five Mersenne primes and would definitely be suspected of mastering some kind of calculation formula. Zhang Wei smiled slightly and replied: "Actually, I participated in the search for Mersenne prime numbers at that time, mainly for the prize money from the Electronic Frontier Foundation. As a result, I had better luck!"

This time Zhang Wei didn't deny it, but he didn't admit it either. He just gave an ambiguous answer.

Zhang Wei knew very well that his value to Professor Aardman was the Mersenne prime number. To say that there was no special calculation method would be to lose its use value.

Who will talk to you if you have no use value?
So the best way is to hold the pipa half-covered and let Professor Adelman figure it out.

So Zhang Wei went on to say: "After I found the 45th Mersenne prime, I received an email from the Electronic Frontier Foundation. They told me that they could no longer provide me with bonuses because of financial constraints! They also begged me to stop publishing new information. of Mersenne primes.”

These few words immediately aroused Professor Adelman's endless reverie.

Zhang Wei did not clearly state whether he had mastered the new algorithm, but his description revealed that he had indeed mastered the 46th Mersenne prime!
As long as a new Mersenne prime number is born, the secret key system will have a new algorithm update, and Professor Aardman's team will be able to obtain more commercial sponsorship.

In other words, Zhang Wei is really his God of Wealth in front of him!

"Since he is the God of Wealth, he must have a good relationship!"

Professor Adelman thought for a moment. The transition between summer and autumn happens to be the season when Boston lobsters are most plentiful. How about treating the God of Wealth to a Boston lobster dinner?

……

Zhang Wei returned to the dormitory after dinner, and saw Concubine Ye standing at the door of the dormitory, looking at him eagerly.

"Have you had dinner?" Zhang Wei asked.

"No, I've been waiting for you!"

“I ate, Professor Adelman’s treat!”

Ye Haotian looked at Zhang Wei's empty hands, as if a guard dog found that its owner didn't pack food when he came home, with a look of disappointment on his face!

"Professor Aardman treated me to Boston lobster. That thing can't be packed!"

"I'm waiting here hungry for you, you eat Boston lobster?" Ye Haotian felt that he was bullied by the big devil again.

"But I'm not full. Come on, let's go have another meal. I heard there's a good American barbecue over there. The meat is cut by the pound!"

Zhang Wei had no choice but to drag Ye Haotian along and go out to a restaurant to have dinner to compensate him.

In the restaurant, Ye Haotian was enjoying his meal and said, "What's going on with Professor Adelman? When did you know him?"

"We just met today." Zhang Wei continued to explain: "I wrote in my resume that I discovered the five Mersenne primes. It was because of this that Professor Adelman came out to greet me.

Professor Adelman's team studies cryptography. Digital public-key cryptosystems originally use deterministic prime numbers as the core algorithm, so the five Mersenne primes I discovered were of great help to them.

These five Mersenne primes took their secret key algorithm a big step forward. It is also for this reason that in the second half of this year, they received a lot of corporate sponsorships. "

"No wonder I treat you to Boston lobster! It turns out you are rich!" Ye Haotian said.

"They are not ordinary rich. Do you know who their sponsors are?"

“Those tech companies in Silicon Valley?”

"It's really not the case. Those technology companies have their own programmers, and they all graduated from prestigious schools. They should be able to write their own algorithms."

Zhang Wei went on to introduce: "The real sponsors of Professor Adelman's team are all from the financial industry. Such as insurance companies, banks, private equity institutions, etc. Their demand for encryption is much greater than that of technology companies.

Technology companies cannot do a good job in encryption, and at most they will leak customer information. But if the financial industry fails to implement encryption, tens of billions of dollars will be lost! "

“Then Professor Adelman’s team is making a lot of money, isn’t it?”

Zhang Wei nodded: "As far as I know, Professor Adelman's team has received the most commercial sponsorship in the entire University of California, Berkeley."

"You're hooking up with a rich man again! This time, the rich man didn't give you a Rolex?" Ye Haotian asked teasingly.

"No Rolex, but they gave me a car."

"Car? Bicycle?"

"What are you thinking? This is the United States! Can you call a car without burning gas?" Zhang Wei snorted: "Professor Adelman said that he would lend me a car to facilitate my daily travel. After all, in the United States, it is difficult to move without a car. I can only stay in this small area of ​​​​the school."

"By the way, do you have a driver's license?"

"No! So I plan to take a test next week. I heard that it is easier to get a driver's license in the United States."

Zhang Wei chuckled and continued, "When I get my driver's license, I will take you to Las Vegas to find Ocean Horses!"
