From university academician to chief academician

The work at the supercomputing center was over, and Ye Fei checked the system.

[Task: None

Physical fitness: 150

IQ: 129

Function: Comprehension: Lv0(0/100)

Level: 0

Points: 360]

"Other people's system points can only be a few hundred points in a few days, but here, a year and a half later, I only got 360 points." Ye Fei said with a wry smile: "It's really difficult!"

The first task is to publish a CSCDA area paper and earn 5 points.

The second task is Singular Cardinality, get 100 points.

The third mission is Minimal Tower, get 100 points.

The fourth task is Turing Equivalence and gets 100 points.

The fifth task is to teach the creation method of graph calculation and get 5 points.

The sixth task is to create a super-computing mathematical algorithm and get 50 points.

Ye Fei didn't even think about upgrading. After all, 360 points would allow you to gain 36 points for mastering the functions.

Even if you get 36 points, you can't upgrade, so you'll have to wait until you accumulate 1,000 points before upgrading.

"What's the next mission?"

After thinking for a while, Ye Fei established the task.

[Task: Prove continuum potential (0%)

Details: The last difficult problem of the continuum hypothesis is to find out the continuum potential to prove the continuum hypothesis.

Reward: 200 points]

"200 points?" Ye Fei was a little stunned, but then he thought: "Yes, after all, the continuum potential is the most important problem of the continuum hypothesis. If you find the continuum potential, you will solve the ultimate problem of the continuum hypothesis and prove the continuum hypothesis." Assume all levels are cleared."

At noon, Ye Fei and the researchers at Base 111 had a breakup meal.

They knew Ye Fei was leaving and felt a little reluctant to leave Ye Fei.

After getting along for so long, they admire Ye Fei's talent.

But there is no such thing as a feast that lasts forever. After lunch, Ye Fei said goodbye to them one by one.

Standing at the door of the supercomputing center and looking at the supercomputing center, Ye Fei was very emotional.

This is the first time that he has led people to do technical work. Maybe this will happen more often in the future, but the first time always feels precious.

"What are you thinking about?" At this time, there was a chuckle.

Ye Fei turned around and said with a smile: "Academician Liu, you haven't left yet?"

Academician Liu smiled and said, "I'm not waiting for you."

"Wait for me?" Ye Fei was stunned.

Academician Liu nodded and said, "Come for a walk with me!"

"good!"

The two followed the road and wandered around Zhonghu University.

It was around two o'clock in the afternoon in mid-July. The school was on holiday and there were not many students on campus.

Those who remain are either undergraduates who are doing summer jobs during the summer, or master's and doctoral students who are doing scientific research and have no time to go home.

The sun was very strong, and the two of them were sweating after just a few steps.

When passing by the canteen, Ye Fei bought two bottles of ice water, and the two of them felt much more comfortable.

Academician Liu smiled bitterly and said, "I really shouldn't have proposed visiting the campus at this time.

He then pointed to the pavilion not far away and said, "Let's go and sit there!"

"Okay!" Ye Feidao.

After sitting down in the pavilion, Academician Liu asked: "Are you studying any topics recently?"

Ye Feidao: "I'm going to study continuum potential."

"Continuum potential?" Academician Liu asked: "Is it Hilbert's first question, the problem of the continuum hypothesis?"

"Yeah!" Ye Fei nodded.

"Why do you think of studying this problem?" Academician Liu asked doubtfully: "Although this problem is very famous, few scholars have studied it. There are no more than a thousand people studying set theory in our country, and there are no more than three famous people who can study it. ten people."

"Do you know why?"

Ye Fei nodded and said, "Of course I know, because it doesn't have much effect. It's very difficult to win some awards. Unless you solve several ultimate problems of this problem, you can win awards."

"Yes!" Professor Liu nodded: "Everyone is practical, and there are very few people who are not practical nowadays."

"The same goes for scholars. Asking them to study a problem that is of little use is a waste of time and energy."

Ye Fei smiled and said: "But there are always people who want to seek that distant place!"

Academician Liu said: "Of course, it is a very good foundation problem. If you study it thoroughly, your foundation will be very good."

"but……"

"Ye Fei, with your talent, you shouldn't focus on such an issue. Proving the continuum hypothesis will make you famous, but it won't gain much practical benefits."

"You should focus on the eight conjectures."

"Of course, I'm not asking you to prove the eight major conjectures, but the many conjectures that are extended by the eight major conjectures."

“Pick out some conjectures that are of practical use to mathematics.”

Ye Fei nodded: "I will, but people must start well and end well. After this problem is proved, I will study number theory."

Number Theory?

Hearing Ye Fei's words, Academician Liu almost burst the ice water in his hands.

If you are asked to study something of practical significance, you would be better off studying number theory.

The biggest pitfall in mathematics is number theory.

Why do you say that!

Prime numbers in number theory are one of the biggest pitfalls.

Like twin primes, Mersenne primes, Orsonian primes, the minimum interval of prime numbers and the maximum interval of prime numbers.

They all belong to the category of prime numbers and are also difficult problems in the world.

In addition to prime numbers, there are also Goldbach's conjecture and Riemann's conjecture, especially Goldbach's conjecture, which is known as one of the three major conjectures in the world.

If prime numbers are the biggest pitfall, then these two problems are the pitfalls.

The prime number means you can't get out if you go in, but these two problems mean you want to die if you go in.

Do you want to go in but not get out, or do you want to die if you go in?

It's all in your mind.

Of course, number theory is a pitfall because it is difficult.

But number theory is also the field in which status, fame, and awards are most easily achieved.

Just one guess in it can make you famous all over the world.

If you can solve Goldbach's conjecture and Riemann's conjecture, either of these two problems can be solved.

The Fields Medal is chasing you and giving you awards.

"Which field of prime numbers are you going to start with?" Academician Liu asked.

"Let's talk about it then. Maybe it's prime numbers, maybe it's some conjectures, such as Kakutani conjecture, ABC conjecture, Zhou's conjecture, Beal's conjecture, and list coloring conjecture."

Academician Liu took a long breath in his heart. Fortunately, this guy knew how to measure and didn't attack the eight conjectures.

If any young man dared to tell him that he was ready to attack the Eighth Conjecture, Academician Liu wanted to kill this ignorant person.

The world of mathematics has the most geniuses in the world, and they all want to prove the eight conjectures.

But in hundreds of years, only one conjecture has been proven successful.

From this we can see how difficult the eight conjectures are.

No one can guarantee that they can prove the eight major conjectures, I thought to myself, but I was powerless.

Young people in the field of mathematics should not even think about proving the eight major conjectures. It is simply a dream.

Academician Liu said: "Since you want to prove the continuum hypothesis, then I will help you."

After being in contact with Ye Fei for such a long time, Academician Liu admired Ye Fei very much. He saw Ye Fei's talent and potential in him.

He didn't want Ye Fei to continue studying the continuum hypothesis, a well-known and useless problem.

Instead, you should put your energy into more useful places.

"You help me?" Ye Fei was confused: "How can you help me?"

"I'll find someone to help you who also studies the continuum hypothesis problem."

"Study with me?" Ye Fei asked.

"No." Academician Liu shook his head and said, "This person is also studying the continuum potential problem, but he has already achieved certain results, but he stopped when he encountered a problem."

"You can learn from his research, which can save you a lot of time. Maybe you can generate some ideas from his research and prove the continuum potential."

Ye Fei's eyes lit up, this was actually a very good idea.

But then he said with some embarrassment: "This is not good, after all, it is someone else's research."

"What's the point?" Academician Liu said with a smile: "Some information is public, you can definitely learn from it."

"Besides, that person doesn't mind his research on the continuum hypothesis being used for study. Many of his students and colleagues have read his research."

Hearing this, Ye Fei felt relieved. Since so many people had seen it, it wouldn't be a big problem if he was included.

Ye Fei smiled and said, "Thank you, Professor Liu!"

"It's nothing." Academician Liu smiled and said: "Let's leave your contact information and I will tell you after I get in touch."

"Um!"

After the two left each other's contact information, they chatted for about an hour and then separated.
