From University Lecturer to Chief Academician

Bruce Pulitzer regarded reviewing the paper on the hailstone conjecture as the most important job to do. He was worried that his level was not enough, so he went directly to the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton.

He found Andrew Wiles to help 'split' the content of the paper.

Andrew Wiles is one of the most famous professors of mathematics at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, and can even be said to be one of the most famous mathematicians in the world. He can be ranked in the top three because he completed the proof of the Fermat conjecture , making this cross-century conjecture become Fermat's last theorem.

After completing the proof of Fermat's conjecture, Andrew Wiles can be said to be famous.

Over the past twenty years, his main work has been to be invited to give lectures at universities and institutions around the world, and by the way, he has won a series of awards, and he has also participated in some affairs of the mathematics society.

Of course, being invited to serve as a reviewer for top mathematics journals is also indispensable.

Facing the proof paper of the famous mathematical conjecture, Andrew Wiles was naturally full of interest. His level was indeed very high. After studying with his colleagues for more than an hour, he browsed the paper from beginning to end, and divided the paper into seven parts. parts.

Andrew Wiles said, "Although there are not many pages in the paper, the proofs in it are not easy to understand."

"Even if it's only two or three pages long, it takes a long time to confirm (whether it's correct)."

Bruce Pulitzer grinned when he heard it. There were more than 20 pages of mathematical proof papers, and the result was "not many pages"?

A mathematical proof, more than twenty pages?

The only person in the world who can say this is probably Andrew Wiles. His Fermat conjecture proof is more than one hundred pages, and twenty pages is just a fraction.

With the help of Andrew Wiles, the dissertation work went smoothly.

Andrew Wiles, along with colleagues, decided to review the first two sections of the paper.

Bruce Pulitzer sent the other parts to the people he had contacted before. His network is indeed very wide. Among the people responsible for reviewing the content, there are three Fields winners, one Wolff winner, and two One is a professor from the Clay Research Institute, and the lineup is gorgeous enough to make people speechless.

They worked together to review the proof of the hail conjecture.

...

Wang Hao found that the thesis was in the second review state, and he was looking forward to passing the review. His proof was not problematic, and it was not so complicated as Wiles’ Fermat conjecture proof. He had to pass his own explanation to confirm the content. .

So Wang Hao is not very worried, it is only a matter of time before the review is passed.

These days, his life is neither rush nor slow.

I was really tired some time ago, and I have been doing research as long as I have time, and I have spent almost all my time on work.

Now that the proof of the hailstone conjecture has been completed, it will be easy for a while, and there is no need to consider new research for the time being.

At least this week is very free. His elective course "Elementary Number Theory" starts from the third week, and the retake course of probability theory also starts from the third week.

In other words, he has run out of classes.

In terms of scientific research, there is no new content for the time being, and there are no courses in teaching.

Wang Hao became the most leisurely person in the office of the complex building, because usually no students came to him, so he just went to work drinking coffee, reading books, and even watched several movies in a row.

In the afternoon, Wang Hao took Zhang Zhiqiang's car and went to the mall by the way. Chatting with Zhang Zhiqiang on the way, he felt that he should also buy a car.

Zhang Zhiqiang kept talking about his car, "180,000 yuan, a joint venture car, this car is easy to drive, has enough horsepower, and accelerates fast, no worse than those 400,000 to 500,000 yuan."

"The main thing is that the car is small and light, with enough power and fast acceleration..."

As he spoke, he also showed off his driving skills, accelerated and overtook the car in front of him, and a smug smile appeared on his face.

Wang Hao thought about it, "I remembered, there seems to be a 4S store next to the mall, why don't I go and have a look?"

"Go, I'll take you there."

Zhang Zhiqiang immediately became interested, and took Wang Hao to the 4S shop.

After they entered the 4S shop where the car was sold, it took only 20 minutes for them to come out with a smile on the salesman's face.

After getting back into the car, Zhang Zhiqiang asked in confusion, "Wang Hao, why didn't you make a decision without thinking about it?"

"You should take a closer look and study carefully to see which car is more cost-effective, and the price of the one you ordered is a bit expensive."

"I think it's too hasty to make a decision. This kind of store makes money from people like you."

Wang Hao asked with some incomprehension, "Is it expensive?"

"That's not true." Zhang Zhiqiang shook his head and said, "He said 270,000 at the beginning, but didn't I pay you back 3,000? In the end, it was 267,000. The price should be okay, but it's just..."

Zhang Zhiqiang didn't know how to express it.

Wang Hao made a decision after seeing only one car, and he helped to pay back the price, but how could buying a car be so hasty?

He always felt weird, something was wrong.

Wang Hao said indifferently, "As long as it's not more expensive than what others buy, it's fine."

Zhang Zhiqiang was still a little confused, and he tried his best to express his thoughts, "But you should do some research, right? You don't have to buy this brand for power, cost performance, and car model."

Wang Hao shook his head and said, "Why study so much? This car seems to be the best-selling car of this brand, so there is no need to analyze it."

"I don't know much about cars. No matter how hard I study it, can I still understand better than those who sell cars? Why waste so many brain cells? The market has already done the analysis for me."

"...It seems to make sense." Zhang Zhiqiang thought about it carefully, and it seemed to be the reason.

When he started the car, he couldn't help thinking.

When he bought a car by himself, he researched it for a long time in advance, and after he settled on two or three models, he struggled for a long time, and even read a lot of strategies on the Internet before finally making a decision.

When Wang Hao bought a car, he just went in and looked at one, knowing that this was the most popular one, so he decided to order it.

Where is the difference?

He spent a lot of energy on researching and buying a car, but Wang Hao didn't spend any energy at all, just like buying a piece of clothing in a shopping mall, it doesn't matter what material it is, as long as it looks pleasing to the eye.

The results of it?

The car he bought didn't seem to be more cost-effective than the car Wang Hao bought.

Zhang Zhiqiang sorted out his thoughts, and couldn't help but fell into deeper thinking, "Could it be that this is where I am worse than Wang Hao? I always waste energy on these meaningless things."

"Even if you try to analyze it very hard, the results you get are not necessarily correct. It can even be said that it doesn't make any sense. Just buy which car is better. The market has already helped to analyze it."

"It makes sense!"

As Zhang Zhiqiang thought about it, he felt that his life had gained new insights, and his thoughts seemed to have entered a new level.

When Wang Hao got out of the car and left, when he was sitting in the car alone, after thinking about it carefully, he suddenly felt something was wrong...

"Why do I struggle with buying a car for a long time?"

"If I have a few million in my hand, I won't be entangled. I will buy it directly when I see which one is good. What is the price/performance ratio... I don't care!"

"Still poor..."

He immediately shed tears of poverty.

in a few days.

Wang Hao picked up a new car and got a license plate, and drove to work, still in a good mood.

Although the school is very close to home, but since he has a new car, it feels better to drive. When he was on the road, he saw a familiar figure.

"Su Yingxue!"

Wang Hao opened the car window and shouted.

Su Yingxue was wearing a long down jacket, and was walking slowly on the side of the road. She turned her head in doubt, and smiled when she saw Wang Hao, "Did you buy a new car?"

"Yes, do you go to school too?"

"Go to Nawei Lab." Su Yingxue said.

Wang Hao nodded and signaled Su Yingxue to get in the car. After she put on her seat belt, she asked with a smile, "You are not a novice driver, are you?"

"Old driver, don't worry." Wang Hao said with a smile, stepped on the gas pedal and walked forward in a leisurely manner. He was indeed an old driver in his previous life, but he still needs to get used to the new car.

The two chatted.

Su Yingxue talked about the Navitas Lab, and said that there will be people from the Institute of Aeronautical Materials, "I heard from Professor Xia, it seems that the Navitas Lab will develop in the future."

Wang Hao didn't care too much, he also said a few words, and asked about the progress of the microsphere research project.

Su Yingxue nodded and said, "It's faster than expected, and we have successfully separated micron-sized microspheres, but in the next step, we still need to continue research, but I feel that the standard should soon reach 0.5 micron, above 0.2 micron There should be no technical barriers to the standard.”

"That's good."

After a few words, the two arrived at the parking lot.

Su Yingxue wanted to get out of the car and unfasten her seat belt, but found that the seat belt hadn't retracted automatically.

Wang Hao took a look, and simply lay half on his stomach, almost half embracing Su Yingxue, his arms inadvertently moved close to the soft position.

He took advantage of the situation and moved his head towards Su Yingxue, and grabbed Su Yingxue with his hands.

"Whoosh!"

The seat belt was quickly retracted.

He wondered, "What's the problem?"

"I didn't notice it was hanging on my arm just now." Su Yingxue explained, opened the car door, got out of the car, smiled sweetly at him, turned and walked away.

After turning around, her face couldn't help being rosy, and her steps became lighter.

Wang Hao looked at Su Yingxue's back, recalled what happened just now, and immediately came to his senses, thinking to himself, "Did she do it on purpose?"

"Taking advantage of me?"

He chuckled and shook his head.

...

The next morning, the expert group led by the Institute of Aeronautical Materials has arrived at Xihai University.

The lineup of the expert group is very gorgeous, including two academicians, five researchers, and two accompanying doctoral students from three institutions - the Academy of Aeronautical Materials, the Wuhan Iron and Steel Central Research Institute, and the Laboratory of Polymer Materials.

In fact, it was Qu Shigang who took the lead and found a few acquaintances to come together.

In addition to Qu Shigang from the Academy of Aeronautical Materials, another academician is Wang Jiming from the WISCO Central Research Institute.

Wang Jiming is a well-known academician and vice president of Wuhan Iron and Steel Central Research Institute. He has long been engaged in the research and development of low-cost high-performance steel materials and thin slab continuous casting and rolling technology research.

When the group arrived at Xihai University, they received a warm reception immediately.

The reception lineup sent by the school is also very gorgeous, including Wang Haiyan, director of the Propaganda Department, Zhu Jianping, director of the Science and Technology Office, and of course Xia Guobin, the director of Navitas Laboratory, and several materials science researchers and professors from the school.

Xia Guobin was the most important person to receive, because he was the person in charge of the Navitas Lab, and Qu Shigang and his party came to visit the Navitas Lab.

Xia Guobin attaches great importance to the visit of Qu Shigang and his party. He has prepared a lot of drafts, and even carefully considers every office, every equipment, personnel, and the projects he has done in Navitas Lab. After thinking about it, I figured out how to introduce it.

But the visiting group, especially Qu Shigang, the leader, seemed to be talking about strange topics, "Where is Professor Wang Hao's office?"

"Where does he usually work?"

"Does he have class today? Will we interrupt?"

He even said, "Why don't you go see Professor Wang Hao first?"

Cao Dongming behind him felt a little too much, so he quickly reminded him to pull down Qu Shigang's sleeve.

Xia Guobin felt something was wrong, he thought it was Wang Hao's reputation, so he said that Wang Hao is an excellent data mining expert, and he also helped Navitas Lab with experimental data analysis and so on.

These words are on point.

After the topic turned to Wang Hao, the communication became much smoother.

This topic did not end until entering the Nanosystems laboratory.

Xia Guobin began to introduce Navitas Lab, and also talked about the projects he was working on, especially the microsphere project in cooperation with Skyworth Technology, which is a horizontal project of tens of millions, so he naturally focused on the introduction.

Qu Shigang was a little surprised when he heard the introduction, "Microsphere project, Chuangwei Group? Do you still have this kind of project in your laboratory?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the surroundings suddenly became quiet.

Cao Dongming pressed his forehead and lowered his head.

Others were a little surprised. They didn't have a detailed understanding of Navitas Labs before they came. They just formed an expert group and just followed them for a walk.

Xia Guobin tugged at the corner of his mouth. He felt something was wrong just now, and now he feels something is wrong.

This line of experts came to inspect Navitas Lab, but they don't even know about the projects that Navitas Lab does?

However, he suppressed the doubts in his heart and began to introduce seriously.

At this time, the people in the expert group really got serious. Horizontal projects worth tens of millions, especially research and development in cooperation with private companies, are not something ordinary laboratories can receive.

Like some national key laboratories, the horizontal projects that can be received are all projects in cooperation with state-owned enterprises. State-owned enterprises, especially large enterprises, will definitely find high-end laboratories for joint research and development, and only these large enterprises can A lot of money will be invested in research and development.

Private companies will also invest a certain amount of funds in research and development, but because most private companies are limited in scale, the funds invested are relatively much less, and every R\u0026D investment will be carefully calculated.

The fact that Chuangwei Group is willing to invest tens of millions in cooperation with Navitas Labs for research and development is enough to demonstrate the strength of Navitas Labs.

This is even more convincing than some laboratories receiving hundreds of millions of horizontal projects.

The group of experts became serious.

Xia Guobin finally had the opportunity to tell the finished manuscript bit by bit. While talking, he took the expert group to visit, including the laboratory, equipment, etc., and introduced them in detail.

Nano-micro laboratories are still attractive. They are engaged in the research and development of nano-micro materials technology. The research and development of nano-micro materials is different from the research of alloys. The technology and equipment seem to be more high-end.

In particular, the newly introduced steady-state high magnetic field manufacturing equipment can manufacture ultra-high magnetic fields, and the technical content is very high.

After the visit, the expert group had a high opinion of Nanovitas Lab.

Qu Shigang felt that it was the right time.

Of course.

Compared with Navitas Lab, Wang Hao is obviously more important.

So when the school recruited a group of people for dinner, Qu Shigang, Wang Jiming, and Cao Dongming left on the pretext of looking around.

Xia Guobin could only continue to entertain other people.

The three of Qu Shigang went to the office of the complex building.

They had already inquired, Wang Hao had been staying in the office for a long time, but when they arrived at the complex building, they saw a lot of people gathered at the entrance of the building, including many reporters.

They were about to go in when they were stopped by the security guards, "No one can enter now except the people in the building."

"Why?"

"What's the matter with you?"

"We're looking for Wang Hao."

"Looking for Professor Wang Hao?" The security guard pointed to a group of people next to him, "Did you see that, they all came to look for Professor Wang Hao."

"...We are from the Institute of Aeronautical Materials." Cao Dongming quickly explained.

The security guard said calmly, "I don't care what material institute is or not, anyway, I can't enter now."

"..."

Cao Dongming knew that he couldn't screw the security guard, so he simply went to the side and asked what happened.

A middle-aged reporter explained, "You don't even know this? You must not be from school, right?"

"Do you know "New Advances in Mathematics"? One of the four major international mathematics journals, the most famous academic journal!"

"This journal has just published a paper by Professor Wang Hao!"

"Do you know what thesis is?"

"That's the proof of Kakuya's conjecture! Do you know Kakuya's conjecture? Let me explain it to you, that is..."

Cao Dongming found out that he was being taught mathematics by a reporter from the journalism department, but he still pretended to listen carefully, and at the same time, he was shocked.

Kakutani conjecture?

Wang Hao proved it?

After the reporter finished speaking, he walked back to Qu Shigang's side, and said in shock, "Academician Qu, Academician Wang, I just asked clearly."

"Wang Hao, he..."

"Completed the proof of Kakutani's conjecture! These are all here to interview him!"

Qu Shigang and Wang Jiming were also shocked immediately, "What!"

"Kakutani conjecture?"

"Do not make jokes?!"

"The paper has been published, whether it is true or not, we will find out after checking..."

I woke up with a headache in the morning, and now I have a headache and eye pain.

I finished writing the update with torment, and it was very uncomfortable. I don’t know how it is going to be at night. Let me tell you in advance that there may not be an update, so please don’t wait.
