Academic conferences are held by well-known academic institutions, and it is difficult for a scholar to influence academic conferences, even if he is an influential academician or winner of international awards.

However, there is one exception to this, and that is when a scholar publishes a very influential academic report in the field.

For example, if a scholar wants to present a top-level mathematical conjecture at a top-level conference, and his research has been proven valid to a certain extent, the relevant conference will definitely be famous, and a large number of mathematicians will apply to participate.

It's the same now.

The effective and irrelevant carry algorithm, of course, is not as famous as the famous mathematical conjecture in terms of reputation, but in the computer industry, the algorithm is the basis for development, and the influence of new algorithms, especially new algorithms that can solve problems, will naturally be very large.

The 'Rubik's Cube Cracker' has been labeled as 'black technology'.

Many professionals have come forward to say that the processing function of ordinary mobile phones is difficult to use as a calculation of the Rubik's Cube restoration step, which requires a very large amount of calculation.

Therefore, the source code of the 'Rubik's Cube Cracker' must contain a very exquisite algorithm.

The news released by Penguin has boosted the fame of this algorithm, and people in the industry know that the algorithm of the Rubik's Cube Cracker is researched by Wang Hao, and Wang Hao said that if the algorithm is made public at an academic conference, it will naturally cause a huge reaction.

Anyone who is a scholar in a related field will be interested in algorithms that can greatly reduce the amount of computation.

This is not just a theoretical basis, but can be directly applied.

Some top technology companies at home and abroad are ready to let algorithm experts in the enterprise come to the conference, and they also want to know the content of the algorithm for the first time to see if it can be used, so as not to lag behind others in the basic algorithm.

The Zhucheng Computer Conference was initiated by the International Computer Federation, and the organizers were the China Computer Federation, the Applied Mathematics Society of Capital University, and the Center for Computing Science of Shencheng University.

Three domestic academic institutions cooperated to hold international computer conferences, and also sent representatives to form a working group to focus on the work related to academic conferences.

The team is located in an office building provided by Zhucheng University.

As early as a month before the start of the meeting, they had already arranged the work properly, including inviting some domestic and foreign experts, including the application to participate in the meeting, and also the detailed formulation of the meeting process, etc.

Wang Hao is one of the invited domestic experts, and he is the most shining figure in the field of basic computer research in recent months.

'Fourier transform-assisted construction of mathematical models' is valued by large Internet companies, which is believed to improve the speed and accuracy of big data analysis, while 'large number multiplication algorithm' is to make the most basic large number multiplication operation have a new method and faster speed.

Both of these studies have attracted great attention, and the working group simply invited Wang Hao to serve as a reviewer and make a recent work report.

What they thought was that Wang Hao would make a report on the 'multiplication algorithm of large numbers'.

That's already appealing enough.

A kind of multiplication of large numbers that can improve the efficiency of calculations, even if many people already know, but it can still attract the attention of many people, can help improve the quality and influence of the conference, after all, it is a new algorithm, and it is also the top research of computer theory, and similar research is enough to make a work report at the top conference.

The main content of the work report is to talk about the research ideas, the problems encountered in the research and the process of solving the problems, similar content will help others expand their ideas, and do their own research and development will also have a certain reference value.

But what the working group didn't expect at all was that a 'Rubik's Cube cracker' would suddenly appear, coupled with the news of Penguin's R&D results, which suddenly pushed the new algorithm into the focus of the industry.

Wang Hao also announced that he would make this new algorithm public at the academic conference, which led to a large number of people suddenly signing up for the conference.

The work team also became very busy, and they didn't know what to do for a while.

"This Wang Hao is simply perverted and perverted!"

"He seems to have just completed the research on the multiplication algorithm of large numbers, why is there another valid and irrelevant carry algorithm?"

"This algorithm has a greater impact than the multiplication of large numbers, and the multiplication algorithm of large numbers only increases the multiplication speed by several times, and this algorithm can greatly simplify the speed of solving the Rubik's Cube, exponentially simplifying."

"Obviously, the algorithm is very good, just think about it."

"No wonder so many people care."

"What now? Too many people have applied, and there are more than a thousand new applications, of which more than four hundred are from abroad, look at this one, Pete Schulzer...... Fields winner? ”

A group of people immediately leaned over to look.

Piet Schulzer, the youngest professor in Germany's history, was appointed as the highest full professor at the University of Bonn at the age of 24, he was a famous genius in mathematics, he entered university at the age of 20, completed his undergraduate course in a year and a half, spent another year completing a graduate course, and published his master's thesis.

That is, it took him only two and a half years from going to university to graduating with a doctorate.

After graduating from university, Pete Schulzer began a career of winning awards all the way, and it was common for him to receive an award every year, and even turned down several awards halfway through, on the grounds that he did not have time to accept them.

At the age of 31, Pete Schulze received Fields, the highest honor in mathematics.

This kind of super genius is incomprehensible to ordinary people, and the name of Pete Schulzer is also remembered all over the world.

When his name appeared on the list of applications to attend the conference, the conference working group felt even more tricky, and a similar top genius mathematician certainly couldn't refuse.

There was only one Turing Award winner among their special guests, but it didn't feel a little worse than the shining Pete Schulzer.

A group of people struggled and discussed for a whole day, and finally could only come up with the only feasible solution - change the venue!

This solution was conceived at the beginning, but the change of venue involved a financial problem, and it was not a low expenditure.

They can only discuss and discuss, and in the end they can only change venues.

When so many top scholars participate in the conference, funding is no longer an obstacle, and it is obviously more important to hold a high-impact academic conference than to spend a lot of money.

……

Wang Hao didn't know that one of his interviews would have such a big impact, so that the conference working group was so busy that he had to decide to change the venue.

He didn't have anything to prepare for the computer conferences he was going to attend, the algorithms he was going to be talking about.

The dissertation has been written.

When it comes time to go to the conference and make a report, you can just go directly to the stage to explain.

However, another job was a little troublesome, and he was invited to serve as a judge at the conference, and he was a little worried about his lack of ability, because he felt that his standard was not high, and the most important thing was the limitation of the R&D field.

If it is purely in the field of theoretical algorithms, he is very confident, and when it comes to other fields, the situation may be different.

There are too many areas of computer research and development, and most of them are not theoretical algorithms, so to speak, theoretical algorithms are just a niche classification in the field of computers.

There is a clear proof that whether it is the Outstanding Youth Fund or the Outstanding Youth Fund, there are many projects in the direction of computer theory research in the project publicity that are passed every year.

Most of the projects that can be approved are applied research, such as information transmission, image processing, medical applications, and of course, artificial intelligence, which is indispensable.

In fact, just like the study of mathematics, the number of research in applied mathematics is several times or dozens of times larger than that of pure mathematics, and the number of theoretical studies is always small.

Wang Hao is doing mathematical computer research, and he has almost no experience in the field of computer applications, but he thought about it carefully and settled down.

Every scholar is the same, how can research cover many fields?

He is not the only expert in the review, and he does not need to worry about the review of each report.

There is good news on this day.

The joint R&D project between Navitas Labs and InnoMicro Technology has been reached.

Innova Technology has sponsored 23 million yuan in advance to purchase high-precision equipment and make initial research and development for Navitas Laboratories.

As long as the research can be carried out normally and there are certain results in the middle, there will be a steady stream of financial support in the future.

Navitas Labs can be said to be 'full', and there is no need to worry about R&D expenses for at least two or three years.

As the leader of the project, Xia Guobin was naturally very happy, after the cooperation project was confirmed, he formally invited Wang Hao to have a meal, thanking him for his data analysis report, so that the project cooperation could be achieved, accompanied by other researchers in the laboratory and two associate researchers.

During the dinner, Xia Guobin talked about the problems encountered in cooperation, "At first, I felt that there was a lot of hope. Your experimental analysis is so good that you can't find fault with it, which shows that we are on the right track. ”

"But the team from Chuangwei, the most important thing is the director Du, he didn't react at all, and it was said that he wanted to cooperate with other laboratories."

Fortunately, Manager Su fought hard and finally finalized the cooperation. Manager Su has been talking with the laboratory, and she is optimistic about the project. ”

Wang Hao nodded after hearing this, and said, "They definitely won't regret it." I did experimental data analysis and knew that this direction was the right one. ”

"With high-precision equipment, the experimental design can definitely be fruitful if it is improved a little more."

Several people spoke about some of the project issues.

Xia Guobin recalled looking for Wang Hao to do experimental data analysis, and couldn't help but sigh, "Wang Hao, to be honest, I really couldn't help it when I first asked you to do analysis." I really didn't expect your analysis to be so good. ”

He continued very seriously, "On behalf of our laboratory, I would like to formally express my gratitude to you, and if you come to me for anything in the future, I will definitely help." ”

"Professor Xia, you're too polite."

Xia Guobin said, "Actually, I should have thought of it at the beginning, you opened an elective course related to data mining, no wonder......"

Wang Hao's expression was a little strange when he heard this, and the relationship between cause and effect seemed to be reversed.

The level of data analysis is high, so you have an elective course related to data mining?

No, it should be the other way around.

I have opened an elective course related to data mining, so my data analysis ability has become higher.

Of course, it doesn't matter.

……

For a long time, Wang Hao focused on the study of prime numbers.

Take classes and get inspiration.

When he returned to the office, he did serious research and read papers, and when he had time, he went to the library to read books, as if he was obsessed, as long as he was in his free time, he was reading, reading papers and thinking about problems.

Zhou Qingyuan noticed his state, and also knew that he was studying the problem of prime numbers, so he couldn't help but remind, "It's best not to spend too much time on the study of prime numbers, your field is partial differential equations, it is a theoretical algorithm, you can have an understanding of the new field, it is best not to go too deep." ”

He felt that Wang Hao had gone astray.

Analytic number theory is the most difficult field of basic mathematics, and a large number of top geniuses have invested in it with little to gain.

Wang Hao is indeed a very genius, if he continues to do research on partial differential equations, he will definitely be able to achieve more results, why spend energy on studying prime numbers?

"I also know that number theory is very attractive, and the results in this area will be very influential."

Zhou Qingyuan continued, "However, we can't be too utilitarian in our research, and we can't be ambitious. The achievements in the field of partial differential equations have little impact, but they are the foundation for the development of mathematics and science......"

"Wow, wow~~"

He said a lot in a row, that is, research should not be too utilitarian, and the small results of mathematical theory research are also very, very important.

Wang Hao raised his head and said, "Professor Zhou, you also said that you can't be too utilitarian in doing research, and if you can produce results in the field of partial differential equations, isn't it utilitarian?" ”

"I like to do research in the field of number theory, and the laws of numbers are very interesting, and you can understand them. I think it's okay if you don't get results in your favorite field, even if you consume time and energy. ”

Zhou Qingyuan didn't know how to persuade for a while.

In today's society, everyone is very utilitarian, even if they are scholars who do research, they will hope that their research will be fruitful, and they will spend their energy on the field that is most likely to produce results.

Many scholars will focus on the fields and directions that they can apply for, and it doesn't matter whether they like the content of the field or not, the most important thing is to be able to produce results.

How many scholars can focus on their favorite fields without being utilitarian?

Yes, very little.

Zhou Qingyuan didn't dare to say that he liked the study of partial differential equations, he only did research in this direction when he was young, and he continued to do it in depth.

Wang Hao can focus on the research he likes, and he has already done what most scholars can't do, so what else is there to persuade?

To persuade is with a utilitarian heart!
