As soon as he entered Professor Lu Yishan's office, Lu Yishan beckoned with a smile on his face and said, "Ye Fei, sit down." ”

Ye Fei wondered, why was the mentor so happy? Got a wage increase?

After Ye Fei sat down, Lu Yishan said: "Just now the dean told me that he wants to apply you to the Executive Committee of the Zhong Jiaqing Mathematics Award Fund to see if you can win the Zhong Jiaqing Mathematics Award." ”

"Zhong Jiaqing Mathematics Award?" Ye Fei was surprised: "It's one of the three major mathematics awards in the Xia Kingdom?" ”

"Yes!" Professor Lu nodded: "That's the award." ”

People in the academic circle usually engage in scientific research in order to gain status, knowledge and money.

And the award is the best proof of their scientific research.

It's like a student getting a certificate.

No one can refuse an award, the more the merrier!

The more major awards, the better, and the three major awards of Xia Guo's mathematics, the Hua Luogeng Mathematics Award, the Chen Shiingshen Award and the Zhong Jiaqing Mathematics Award, are coveted by countless people.

Among these three awards, only the Zhong Jiaqing Mathematics Award is awarded to the best master's and doctoral students in mathematics in Xia Guo.

If you have graduated with a Ph.D. for more than three years, you will not have the opportunity to participate in the selection of the Chung Ka Ching Mathematics Prize.

"Tutor, although I have solved two world problems, you also know that they both belong to set theory, which is very unpopular and not very helpful for mathematics."

"Is this a big deal?"

Ye Fei has some concerns, as far as he knows, all mathematics awards in the world must be won by scholars, and the research results of scholars must have a huge role in promoting mathematics.

And the two world problems he proved did not give much impetus to mathematics.

"Don't worry!" Professor Lu said with a smile: "The college has asked someone about this, and if you are not sure, the college will not help you report it." ”

"Whew......" Ye Fei exhaled a long breath, and his heart beat quickly with excitement.

Zhong Jiaqing Mathematics Award, he hadn't thought about it before, but now it seems that he can think about it.

"You can wait with peace of mind now, the results will be almost at the end of this month." Professor Lu said: "Of course, competing for awards is like guessing a blind box, until the end, no one knows the result. ”

"Don't worry too much about this award, even if you can't be evaluated, with your ability, you will be awarded sooner or later."

"After all, a Ph.D. can be evaluated within three years of graduation."

"In fact, most people are only evaluated after graduation, and few are evaluated when they are studying for a doctorate."

Professor Lu believes in Ye Fei's ability, even if he can't be rated this time, he will definitely be able to be rated within three years.

"Hmm!" Ye Fei nodded, but his heart was still full of expectations, hoping that he would be rated this time.

He didn't want to be selected many times, and he was only selected after being named by Sun Shan many times.

The tension and excitement are very uncomfortable.

"That's right!" Professor Lu said: "You have solved the problem of the very small tower, what do you want to do next?" ”

Ye Fei said: "Of course, I still continue to do scientific research. ”

"You can't do research all the time, take a proper break."

"It's to take a break, but you can't rest for too long, a few days of rest is enough."

"Do you want to do any research?"

"Thinking!" Ye Fei shook his head: "I still do scientific research on set theory, but there are several unsolved problems in set theory so far, and I am hesitating, which one to do?" ”

Professor Lu looked confused, what's the matter, the set theory problem is stuffed into your head, you say that it can be solved!

But think about it, Ye Feidu has solved the two problems of set theory.

It was also easy to solve, and none of the problems were more than three months old.

It seems that solving the problem of set theory is very easy for him.

Professor Lu seemed to feel a strong Versailles atmosphere.

Professor Lu said: "Why don't you solve the Turing equivalence problem!" ”

"Turing equivalence?" Ye Fei said: "But I don't understand computers, and to solve this problem, I need to cooperate with people who understand computers." ”

Mathematics is the foundation of all natural subjects, and computers also use a lot of mathematics.

There is a man in history named Alan Matheson Turing, who is the father of computers and the father of artificial intelligence.

Turing's Turing machine model laid the foundation for the way logic works in modern computers.

It can be said that without Turing, there would be no current computer.

And like today's computers and artificial intelligence, they were all proposed by Turing.

Turing equivalence is an equivalence relationship between sets of natural numbers naturally induced by Turing machines in computational theory.

Studying Turing equivalence is beneficial to improve the computing speed of computers.

The so-called computing speed means that for example, computer A and computer B, A and B have the same hardware, A uses Turing equivalence, and B is useless.

But A runs faster than B.

"That's exactly what I want to tell you." Professor Lu said: "I have a friend who is the head of the computer computing laboratory of Zhonghu University, and I want you to work with him. ”

"Computing Lab?" Ye Fei said: "Is that the local laboratory?" ”

All major universities have many laboratories or institutes, and they are also hierarchical.

Among them, the local laboratories have the lowest grade and are the least valued, and the national key laboratories are the highest and most valued.

Zhonghu University has two state key laboratories and 15 local laboratories.

Generally, a professor is assigned to supervise the local laboratory, and there are five or six graduate students under him, and the annual allocation is about 1 million.

In addition, scientific research projects are not taken seriously, and funding is often not in place.

Many times, the person in charge has to pull money from outside and cooperate with companies in the market.

But if you want to cooperate with enterprises and get money from them, how easy is it?

"That's the lab!" Professor Lu said: "Don't look at it as a local laboratory, but the person in charge still has the ability, he is a full professor of the Institute of Computer Science, at the same level as me." ”

"He has studied the Turing algorithm for more than ten years and has a deep study."

Ye Fei smiled: "Since it was recommended by you, the tutor, it is naturally good, then let me meet with this professor, I want to talk to him." ”

"Yes!" Professor Lu nodded: "I'll call him now." ”

As he spoke, he took out the phone and called.

This person is actually friends with Professor Lu, and when Ye Fei said that he was carrying out a new scientific research project, he thought of his friend.

Ye Fei needs the other party's computer ability, and the other party needs Ye Fei's scientific research ability on Turing equivalence.

It's a win-win situation, and it's good for both parties.

Soon, the other party came.

This is a tall, thin middle-aged man with slightly dark skin, glasses, and thinning hair.

Ye Fei looked at the top of the other party's head and nodded secretly, it seems that his ability is really good, otherwise his hair would not be so thin.

In the computer industry, the hair is not thinning, and they all feel that the other party is unprofessional.

"Old Lu!" The middle-aged man walked in, glanced at Ye Fei, and said, "This is your student?" ”

"Hmm!" Lu Yishan nodded: "Ye Fei, let me introduce you, Zhou Kang, a full professor at the School of Computer Science." ”

"Hello, Professor Zhou!" Ye Fei stretched out his hand.

"Hello!" Professor Zhou and Ye Fei shook hands, and then found a place to sit down.

"Ye Fei, I've heard of you too, but there is a big difference between mathematics and computers, you are good at mathematics, not necessarily good at computers."

"Of course, there are a lot of math problems that are used in computer algorithms."

"But I want to make it clear, after all, algorithms belong to computer science, which relies on mathematics, but only a small part, and most of them still require computer knowledge."

"So, you cooperate with me, and I'm going to investigate."

"If you can't do it, I don't want to waste time, change people immediately."

Ye Fei was surprised, he still had to look at the other party's ability!

It's good that I haven't said that I will inspect the other party, but the other party will examine myself.

Ye Fei said: "This is natural, but Professor Zhou, I also explained that if your ability is not good, I will not cooperate with you." ”

The other party said that it was so straightforward, and he didn't bend around anymore.

Professor Zhou stared at Ye Fei, and Ye Fei looked at him without blinking.

Professor Lu watched the show on the side and did not interrupt them.

Professor Zhou is a very capable person, but he just speaks too straight and is easy to offend people.

Ye Fei also has the ability, these two capable people will definitely be able to cooperate well when they meet together.

After a long time, Professor Zhou nodded and said, "Yes, if you are incapable, I will let you go, if I am incapable, you can change people immediately, and I will never entangle." ”

"Good!" Ye Fei nodded.

Say, build tasks in the system.

[Task: Turing equivalence problem.]
