I couldn't hear the roar of the equipment, I couldn't smell the strange smell of medicine, and the Yanda Mathematics Institute was as quiet and peaceful as ever.

The door of the number theory department was not closed tightly, and sunlight cut through the crack in the door, cutting the dark corridor in half.

Ou Ye in the corridor held the thick mathematical literature and silently walked to the number theory teaching and research department.

Although there are many trivial things in life, Ou Ye has not forgotten her original intention and her own work, and she has been engaged in the research of basic mathematical theories.

Ten years ago, a well-known entrepreneur of a high-tech company gave a report in the Great Hall that his company has 100,000 R&D personnel, recruited a large number of world-class scientists, and invested up to $20 billion in R&D every year.

The entrepreneur's company was at the top of the world in technology a decade ago, so much so that it was subjected to unjustified imperialist sanctions.

Although standing at the peak, the entrepreneur felt lost, and he admitted that the technical level of their company is still at the level of engineering mathematics and physical algorithms, and has not really entered the research of basic theories. As the limits of Shannon's theorem and Moore's Law are approaching, new basic theories that can effectively solve application problems have not yet been created, so entrepreneurs are quite worried.

There are too few entrepreneurs who attach so much importance to basic theoretical research, and this kind of thing is not something that entrepreneurs should worry about, but scientists. This also shows the far-sightedness and profound pattern of this entrepreneur.

Ten years have passed, high-tech enterprises in the field of application of bold forward, practical application infinitely close to the limit of Shannon's theorem, Moore's law, in other words, the current practical application has reached the bottleneck, to break through the bottleneck needs new basic theory support. New foundational theories have not yet been created.

Forward-thinking entrepreneurs have this awareness, and of course there are scholars who specialize in basic theoretical research, such as Ouye.

Number theory, especially analytic number theory, can be said to be the hardest and most theoretical branch of mathematics.

Entering the number theory teaching and research room, coming to his seat, Ou Ye put down the literature and took the medicine on time.

A punch card is installed at the entrance of the building, and the normal working hours of the hospital are 9 to 5 on weekdays, with a two-hour break at noon.

The nature of the work of associate professors, associate researchers and above is more flexible, you go to class when you should go to class, you submit papers when you should submit papers, and you do not have to stick to the form of 9 to 5 classes.

The state has its own laws, and there are rules and regulations. Public institutions have rules, young people who have not yet mixed with associate professors, associate researchers and above must clock in and out on time, must not be late and leave early, and must ask for leave in advance, otherwise the annual assessment will kill you.

There are few people in the number theory teaching and research department, and the director of the teaching and research department, Lao Wang, suffered from prostate disease, and he went to the hospital for a check-up and did not come to work.

The biggest difficulty faced by the Department of Number Theory of the School of Mathematics of Yan University may not be academic problems, but health.

When Director Wang was away, the number theory teaching and research department was talked about by the second-in-command Ou Ye, who was also an old patient.

Ou Ye is obviously not a managerial talent, but fortunately, there is nothing important for her to deal with in the sparsely populated number theory teaching and research department.

The indoor air conditioner temperature is set at 28 degrees, while the outdoor temperature is 27 degrees, so it is better not to turn on the air conditioner. A young man turned off the air conditioner and opened the window, and he called on the windowsill: "The high school class president got married in July, and I can't go back to my hometown? ”

"Summer vacation? I stayed in the capital during the summer vacation to have a job to do, and I won't go back if I don't go back. Before the Ph.D. allowance came down, I refused any kind of wedding, reunion...... Lao Hei, don't persuade me, persuade me to quit the group again. That's it, hanging. ”

"Mom, are you okay? Are you still sick, lumbar disc herniation? Then you have to go to the hospital for treatment, if you protrude to a certain extent, you will be paralyzed! The medical insurance only reports half, then you have to go for treatment, money is very important, life is more important! Rest assured, my doctor's allowance will definitely be paid in two months, you just have to go to the best hospital in the county to see a doctor." That's it, you take care of your body and hang up. ”

In the quiet number theory teaching and research room, the loud noise of the young man is particularly noticeable.

Ou Ye Xijing didn't like to make trouble, she frowned, ready to criticize the young man for a few words.

The young man hung up the phone and smiled at Ou Ye.

Ou Ye didn't say anything cruel after all, she said lightly: "Xiao Huang, it's better to go to a hospital in a big city for treatment of your mother's illness." ”

Xiao Huang is a doctoral student in the School of Mathematics, and he follows his supervisor, Director Wang, to do number theory projects.

It is not easy to recruit a doctoral student specializing in number theory this year, and Xiao Huang, the star of hope, said happily: "Of course, the hospitals in big cities are more advanced, and the level of doctors is higher, but the cost is ...... Hey, hey, Mr. Ou, can you help me ask, when will my doctor's allowance come down?"

"Then you have to ask Director Wang. Although they work in the same office, Ou Ye is not Xiao Huang's mentor, and she can't control Xiao Huang's doctor's allowance.

"Mr. Wang's health is not good, it is estimated that he will have to stay in the hospital for a period of time this time, and his old man will be hospitalized, so it is not good for me to disturb him. ”

"Your mentor is hospitalized, and you're not going to visit him?"

"The visit is definitely for the visit, but when visiting, it is not convenient to talk about money. Mr. Ou, you have the right to enter the internal system to inquire, and you can help me check the progress of my doctoral allowance approval. ”

Ou Ye's face is cold, but in his heart he also sympathizes with every patient, so let's sympathize with the disease.

Xiao Huang, a young man, was very smug and crooked, not at all like a calm and cold doctoral student majoring in number theory.

But Xiao Huang's filial piety to his parents is commendable, which is the main reason why Ou Ye has endured him for so long.

"Oh. Ou Ye snorted, and then entered the internal system to inquire.

The little yellow fart staggered behind Ou Ye, staring nervously at Ou Ye's computer screen.

Soon, the query result came out: "The number of courts is being approved." ”

Xiao Huang complained with a sad face: "It's been approved for half a year, but I haven't been out of the hospital yet!"

The doctoral allowance is issued by the university and is available to every doctoral student.

After the review of the mathematics college, it is approved by the graduate school, then the financial approval, and finally the money can be given to Xiaohuang.

The amount of the doctor's allowance is not much, but it should be enough for Xiao Huang's sick mother to go to the best hospital in the provincial capital for treatment.

In addition, doctoral students may also receive certain material rewards from their supervisors' research projects.

Otherwise, it is very important to choose a caring and tyrant mentor, Shen Qi's doctoral students will never worry about money.
