Old Joseph handed over the champagne to Wang Hao in advance, which was not in line with the rules of the meeting, but no one in the venue said anything, because Wang Hao's report was the most brilliant after the meeting began, and the 'promising research' had already passed, and the next afternoon was all small results.

The correctness of those small results will not affect Wang Hao's paper to get the best.

While the rest of the report continues, there are still many people discussing the new multiplication algorithm for large numbers, the establishment of a screening mechanism, the fast Fourier transform, and the structural role of the 'result' set, and of course, the application field.

Wait a minute.

Wang Hao returned to his seat and continued to listen carefully to the next report, and then he felt a look of 'deep resentment' coming from the side.

Sha Mianzhi.

Sha Mianzhi came with the mentality of getting the best papers, and his research results and papers were submitted to many related conferences, and basically the 'Best Paper Award' could be locked, only because the STACS conference was closer to the theory and more relevant and professional.

Their results are very good, their papers are very good, and they are doing well when they come to the stage to give a report.

Until Wang Hao's report began, they were extremely sure that they could get the best papers, and the results were ......

Second placed?

If it is a large-scale academic conference, the second place will be the second, some conferences will select two or three best papers, and some conferences will set up other awards, but the STACS conference is relatively small, and there is only one award, which is the 'Best Paper Award'.

The second and tenth are no different from the bottom, and the rest of the papers can say at most 'excellent papers', and there are no awards, rankings, etc.

Sha Mianzhi was in no mood to continue listening to the report, he could only look at Wang Hao with resentment, and it felt like something in his hand was snatched away directly.

Wang Mingkun also felt very depressed.

At noon, when they returned to the hotel to rest, they also 'celebrated the best in advance' together, each drank a very luxurious cup of coffee, and made a reservation to visit the attractions tomorrow morning.

It's funny to think about it now, but they can't laugh at all.

"Ah~~"

In the end, the complicated mood could only be transformed into a lament, and when the penultimate report meeting came, they really didn't have the energy to continue listening, so they simply left the lecture hall early.

Wang Hao stayed until the end of the briefing, and then went to the restaurant with Ruan Hailong for dinner.

Because he was sure to win the best paper award, he also had the luxury of taking Ruan Hailong to find a high-end restaurant together, and a meal cost nearly 300 euros, which is converted to more than 3,000 yuan.

Ruan Hailong stuffed something into his mouth and said embarrassedly, "STACS Best Paper, it doesn't seem to have many prizes, right?" ”

"And the bonus?"

Ruan Hailong paused in amazement, and his heart was a little moved, "Are you planning to pay for a treat out of your own pocket?" ”

"Of course not." Wang Hao said as a matter of course, "I won the best paper award, how can I report it to the school after I go back?" ”

“…… Reasonable! ”

Ruan Hailong nodded thoughtfully, gave a thumbs up, and then ate more hilariously, and took the initiative to reach out to the waiter, and asked for a drink in extremely skimming French.

Satiated.

Seeing that the time was about the same, Wang Hao went to the award ceremony, saying that it was the award ceremony, but in fact, he went to the conference hall again and found the person in charge to receive his own honorary certificate.

There was no sense of ceremony in the whole process, that is, the organizer and several persons in charge were there, announcing the results of the best paper award, and then handing the honorary certificate to Wang Hao.

This session is even more shabby than the previous one, mainly because Wang Hao locked the 'best paper' in advance, and there are very few scholars who come to see the awards, and probably few scholars will be interested in seeing others win awards.

The person in charge also mentioned the bonus, "Dr. Wang, the best prize will be directly credited to your account after Springer completes the collection of conference papers." ”

"Thank you."

Wang Hao already knew that the bonus was only 2,000 euros, which was really like Ruan Hailong said, 'There are not many bonuses', just a symbolic one.

After the awards, it is time for scholars to communicate with each other.

Joseph Sr., and another scholar with a beard, took Wang Hao to take a photo together, and chatted while introducing him, and learned that the bearded scholar was called Wolfgang Killian, a famous German expert in informatics.

Joseph Sr. is even more powerful, a Turing Award winner, the research director of the National Research Center in Grenoble, the winner of the Silver Medal, and the founder of the research center laboratory in Grenoble, which is famous for its embedded systems.

Joseph Sr. talked about Wang Hao's two studies, and believed that 'Fourier transform-assisted modeling of mathematical models' was more meaningful than 'large number multiplication algorithm', "In fact, I think the latter is just an application, and the former provides a method idea, without the previous method, there can be no new 'large number multiplication algorithm'." ”

It's the truth.

The process of applying the fast Fourier transform algorithm to the 'multiplication algorithm of large numbers' also constructs the 'model of sets', and uses the method of 'assisting in shaping mathematical models', which is just a transformation application of another situation.

In fact, the main inspiration for the 'large number multiplication algorithm' was the research on 'Fourier transform-assisted modeling of mathematical models' at the Abayun Research Center, which can naturally be said to be 'in the same vein'.

Wolfgang-Killian asked with interest, "After this research is completed, what is your next research direction?" “

Old Joseph also looked at it with interest.

"What's next......"

Wang Hao hesitated and said, "There are two directions, in the direction of algorithms, I plan to study the number of gods, I have been interested in this before." ”

"The number of God? Rubik's Cube? Isn't there already one? Wolfgang-Killian asked, confused.

"I want to prove it in an easier way, rather than covering the results with exhaustive methods. Well, the same method can also solve a lot of other similar problems. ”

Old Joseph and Killian couldn't help but nod their heads, and couldn't help but glance at Wang Haogao.

"It's a very difficult problem, and no one has been able to solve it for decades, so I think maybe we should find a new algorithm to solve it." ”

Joseph Sr. said, "When I was young, I thought about similar problems, but I didn't have a clue at all, it was too complicated. ”

"What about the other direction?" ”

"Mathematics, to be precise, number theory."

Wang Hao explained, "I am a Ph.D. in mathematics, and I have been researching mathematics, and I have made some achievements in the work of partial differential equations, but I still hope to expand the field. “

Joseph Sr. and Killian looked at each other.

Killian nodded and commented, "If I had to say anything about your thoughts, I'd say, don't do that." ”

"Wolfgang was right." Old Joseph also said, "I don't know how many extremely outstanding geniuses have set foot in this field, but among them, those who can achieve results can be counted on one hand." ”

"So, don't do that, don't even start, when you like this kind of research, maybe it means that your life is starting to go downhill."

Killian added, "Old Joseph, don't look at the problem from your eyes, you are old after all, Wang Hao is still very young, and if he wastes another ten years, he will still be very young." ”

Wang Hao couldn't help pursing his lips.

That doesn't seem to be supportive, right?

……

The next morning, Wang Hao and Ruan Wenye went to the surrounding attractions to visit the surrounding attractions, including Notre-Dame de Juld and the Marseille Art Museum, and took a few photos at the door and inside, and made a card to leave a memory.

In the afternoon, I flew back to China.

The long-distance journey was really a test of energy, and Ruan Wenye also became very unenergetic, lying in his seat for several hours.

Wang Hao is very energetic, a trip to Marseille has gained a lot, participated in the academic report, won a 'best paper award', thinking that after going back, he can also use this paper to apply for a fund project, right?

He is not interested in how much money the project has, because the cost of doing research is really small, and it is impossible to spend several years on a research, and the fund he applied for is not in his account, it is not owned by him personally, but only to be reimbursed for some scientific research expenses.

For example, subscribing to academic magazines.

For example, get yourself a good computer.

Wait a minute.

The more is to go out to attend an academic conference and reimburse the round-trip air tickets and hotels.

He also has no graduate students or doctoral students, and there is no need to provide students with labor and living allowances, and the general research is estimated to be completed in a few months, and there is little difference between applying for 100,000 yuan or 1 million funds.

Anyway, it's all over the place.

In addition, it is the harvest of the R&D task, and the inspiration value of 'Task 2' is somewhat unexpected.

Not too much, but too little.

[Task 2]

[Inspiration: 29.] 】

"Only 29 points? Is it because the A-level tasks are too difficult and it is too difficult to get inspired? Wang Hao thought about it carefully and thought for sure, "There is this reason, but not exactly!" ”

In fact, the approximate value of the inspiration value obtained, there is no need to go to the task system at all, just sort out the relevant knowledge and ideas in the brain, after making a report and speech at the conference, there is a lot of knowledge in the brain, but there are few ideas that can bring the 'research and development direction'.

The most important thing in R&D is ideas, inspiration, and direction, and knowledge is just the foundation.

Is it because the top mathematicians, who have been many years old, have been unable to accomplish big mathematical results because they don't have enough knowledge?

Of course not.

It's because there is no inspiration, no ideas, no right direction, and the older you get, the fewer novel ideas you have in your head, and you can't complete research and development without inspiration.

"Probably because of ......"

"In the process of reporting, most scholars just concentrate on keeping up with the ideas and understanding, and few people can diverge their thinking while understanding, or simply think about other content if they don't understand."

"So, if you have very little inspiration, you will get very little inspiration."

Wang Hao thought about it and came to such a conclusion.

In other words, in an ordinary undergraduate class, students just listen to the lecture normally, many students can easily follow the explanation, and some students will think of other content with divergent thinking.

A lot of confusing ideas, sifting out the right feedback, maybe can bring more 'research directions', 'inspiration' and so on.

"So the right thing to do is to give a bunch of top-notch, young scholars a simple, basic knowledge?" Wang Hao laughed when he thought about it.
