Zhuang Nan and the others entered the dormitory and saw Ye Fei sitting at his desk busy.

The three of them looked at Ye Fei in amazement, and Zhuang Nan asked, "Ye Fei, aren't you studying for a doctorate?" The school didn't arrange another place for you to live? The dormitory environment for doctoral students in our school is very good, I heard that it is a room for two people, with a refrigerator, microwave oven, and bathroom. ”

Ye Fei said without replying: "The dean said to arrange a bachelor apartment for me, but I felt that it was too lonely to live alone, so I didn't change it." ”

The expressions of the three of them were stiff in an instant, single apartment? This environment is too good, isn't it?

Xu Tian asked, "Is it a single apartment in the neighborhood next door to the school?" ”

The neighborhood next to the school is a school construction and is specially for school teachers to live.

The environment is beautiful, the facilities are sound, and the decoration is atmospheric.

Whether you rent or buy, it's cheap.

"Yes!" Ye Feidao.

The three of them envy that this treatment is much better than that of doctoral students, which is equivalent to the treatment of school teachers.

The heart is pricked again!

The air was filled with heavy silence, Zhuang Nan felt that the silence should be broken at this time, he walked behind Ye Fei and asked, "Ye Fei, what are you busy with?" ”

The other two breathed a sigh of relief.

It feels really uncomfortable to have a super student around me.

The topics can't be integrated together, and they are often pierced in the heart.

Ye Fei said: "I thought of the idea of proving the singular cardinality, wrote it into a paper, and prepared to publish it." ”

"What?" The three of them looked at Ye Fei and said in surprise.

Zhuang Nan said in disbelief: "You said to prove the singular cardinality? ”

"Yes!" Ye Feidao.

Zhou Lin smiled dryly: "Ye Fei, you won't be bragging!" ”

Ye Fei stopped his movements, turned his head to look at him, and said, "You just brag to me!" ”

He knew that it was hard to believe, after all, this was a 149-year unsolved problem, and if anyone said that the singular cardinality had been proved, few people would believe it before the paper was approved.

Since Zhuang Nan and the others didn't believe it, Ye Fei couldn't help it, and when the paper was written and passed the review, they naturally believed it.

Actions speak louder than words!

"Huh......" Zhuang Nan and the three of them exhaled.

Now there is a big gap between them and Ye Fei, if Ye Fei proves the strange base again, it will seem that they are wasted.

"Ding ......" At this time, a text message came from Ye Fei's mobile phone, and he picked it up and took a look.

It is a paper bonus issued to him by the Academic Affairs Office of the school, four SCI District 1 papers, one 20,000 yuan, a total of 100,000 yuan.

When he published his first solution paper, he didn't go to the academic affairs office to collect the money, and wanted to wait for all four papers to be published and get the approval email, and then go to collect the money.

It just so happened that the fourth paper review email came yesterday, and he took four emails to get the money.

After the inspection of the Academic Affairs Office, it will ask the finance to send money, and the finance will call the money when he goes to work today.

Zhuang Nan also saw the text message, and said with a smile: "Ye Fei, you have made a fortune, who will give you 80,000." ”

"School!" Ye Feidao: "My four papers have all entered the SCI area, isn't there a reward from the school, 20,000 yuan for one paper, and 80,000 yuan was given to me." ”

The three of them bowed their heads silently, Nima, and the heart was really unguardable.

Ye Fei is a top student, and we are tuition.

Ye Fei came to school to make money, and we came to school to spend money.

But the wool of the school, it's cool to think about!

After all, in the past, schools collected money from students, and very few students collected money from schools.

But if you want to collect money from the school, it also depends on your strength, and we can't do it.

Zhuang Nan smiled and said, "Hehe...... Well, I haven't been to school in a long time, and I'm going to say hello to my classmates. ”

Zhou Lin said: "I don't know what the quality of this year's students is, I haven't gone to see it yet, Xu Tian, together!" ”

Xu Tiandao: "Okay, let's go!" ”

The three of them left the dormitory together, and in the face of Ye Fei, they felt that they would be stabbed to death sooner or later.

Ye Fei glanced at the back of the three of them leaving, and sighed, let's go to the library to study in the future, it seems to be a bit of an eyesore in the dormitory.

Originally, he was going to wait until his roommate came to study in the library, but he forgot that it was time to enter the school.

A month later, the library!

Ye Fei took a long breath and looked at the paper he had just finished.

The paper is 54 pages long and more than 80,000 words.

After spending another week checking and revising the paper several times, Ye Fei pasted the paper on Arxiv.

Soon, it attracted countless people to watch.

But then, many people thought that Ye Fei was crazy and went to prove the singular cardinality.

This is a strange cardinality, and it has been unsolved for 149 years.

Although Ye Fei has proved the singular cardinal basis and four solutions in the past three months, no one believes that he can prove the singular cardinality.

On Stack Exchange, many people ridiculed Ye Fei.

"Ye Fei's behavior, I don't know if he is naïve or arrogant, but I still give him a thumbs up for his courage."

"Huh...... A milky boy who has not dried up actually went to prove the strange cardinality, he thought he was Tao Zhexuan! ”

"That is, it takes a hundred years to produce a Tao Zhexuan, and not everyone is Tao Zhexuan."

"He's carried away by past victories and thinks he's going to be able to prove the odd cardinality too."

"What if he really proves to be successful?"

"Do you think it's possible? After 149 years of unsolved problems, let Ye Fei prove that he succeeded? You know, he's only 22 years old, he hasn't even graduated with a Ph.D., and he can succeed unless he's God. ”

“……”

Regardless of whether everyone thinks that Ye Fei can prove success, many people still study Ye Fei's paper.

But most of them can't understand it, and those who can understand it know it and don't know what it is.

And those who know it have not yet spoken.

Because they are also still working on Ye Fei's paper.

The papers are long, and they take a long time to study.

Dormitory, 8 p.m.!

Zhuang Nan and the three of them sat at their respective desks, staring at Ye Fei who walked in.

Ye Fei was uncomfortable stared at by them, touched his face and said suspiciously: "What's wrong?" ”

Zhuang Nandao: "Are you really proving the strange cardinality? ”

Just last night of self-study, he used the computer to browse Arxiv, and saw that Ye Fei had a new paper published, and found that it was a paper that proved the singular cardinality.

He remembered that Ye Fei said at the beginning of the school year that he was writing a paper to prove the singular cardinality.

At the time, I thought it was a joke, but I didn't expect it to be true.

"That's right!" Ye Fei entered the dormitory and put the schoolbag behind him on the desk.

"Cow!" Zhuang Nan and the three of them gave Ye Fei a thumbs up.

They praised Ye Fei's behavior, and normal people would not want to prove the singular cardinality.

After all, that's 149 years of unsolved puzzles.

Even a lot of mathematicians don't try it because it's too hard.

Of course, they don't think that Ye Fei can prove success.

"Ye Fei!" Professor Lu appeared at the door of the dormitory.

"Mentor!" The four of them quickly stood up.

Professor Lu walked in, stared at Ye Fei and asked, "You wrote a paper that proves the singular cardinality?" ”

"Yes." Ye Fei nodded.

"Will it work?"

Ye Fei thought for a moment and said, "50%!" ”

It's 100%, but you can't talk too much.

I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of what if, if the audit fails, it's too full, and then I'll slap myself in the face.

Professor Lu said: "That's also very good, although the singular cardinality is difficult, but you can try it." ”

"It's okay to fail, don't be discouraged even if you fail, the last thing the academic community is afraid of is failure, and many people learn from failure."

"Failure is the mother of success, and if you fail this time, you will definitely succeed in the future."

Professor Lu came over to confirm this matter, secondly, to encourage Ye Fei, and thirdly, he was afraid that Ye Fei would be discouraged if he failed, so he enlightened him.

Ye Fei said: "Mentor, I know. ”

"Hmm!" Professor Lu nodded: "I'm leaving." ”

After a few days of revising the paper, Ye Fei began to consider which journal to submit.

This time, he will not be voting for international mathematical analysis again.

After all, this paper is proof of singular cardinality, and in importance, more than all previous papers.

International Mathematical Analysis is only a journal with an impact factor of 13, so this time he plans to submit to the top four journals of mathematics.

The four top journals of mathematics, the Annals of Mathematics, the New Advances in Mathematics, Acta Mathematica Sinica, and the Journal of the Beili Mathematical Society.

"Let's submit the latest progress in mathematics!"

Among the four top journals, the Mathematics Yearbook is the most difficult to review, with one journal a year, and no more than 60 papers are published every year, which is more difficult to pass than that of nature and science.

New Advances in Mathematics, published every two months, it is the most prestigious of the four top journals.

The papers of Xia mathematicians were submitted to the four top journals, and most of them were submitted to the new progress of mathematics.

But in the past 61 years, only about 30 papers have passed the review.

The reason why the Annals of Mathematics is not considered is mainly because the publication cycle is long, only once a year, while the new progress in mathematics has a short publication cycle, which is published every two months.

Now to invest in the new progress of mathematics, it will take one to two months to review, and after the review is passed, the next journal can be published.

After deciding to vote for the new progress in mathematics, Ye Fei sent the paper to the review and editing email of the new progress in mathematics.
