April 10, 2026, Number Theory Group Office!

Ye Fei sat at the desk in the middle of the office and said, "Is the modulus curve parametric equation correct?" ”

"That's right!" One of the team members said loudly.

"Hecke algebra, a better estimate of the maximum ideal generator corresponding to the discriminant model, is the calculation correct?"

"That's right!"

"Is the calculation result correct?"

"That's right!"

"The modular form corresponds to the Abel cluster and the Jacobi cluster, and the algorithm for calculating the Galois representation of the modular form, is the calculation result correct?"

"That's right!"

“……”

"Is the Hilbert mold form and the Siegel mold form correct?"

"That's right!"

[Congratulations on completing the Gaussian class number conjecture in imaginary quadratic domains!]

Bonus: 200 points! 】

Ye Fei glanced at the system, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Ye Fei smiled: "Very good, I announce the second problem of the Gaussian conjecture, the Gaussian conjecture of the imaginary quadratic domain proves successful." ”

"Papapa......" All the team members applauded fiercely.

It's not easy, the first question of Gauss's conjecture was completed by Ye Fei alone.

And half of the second problem was completed by Ye Fei with Amata and Balats.

Another half and half were done by Ye Fei, Amata, Balatz and the number theory group.

The remaining two-thirds were completed by the Amata, Balatz and Number Theory groups.

The last third was done by everyone.

The sense of accomplishment and honor in completing a math puzzle cannot be described in words.

Cool, very cool, very cool!

The psychological refreshment is like a hot summer, when you are sweating profusely and your mouth is dry, you suddenly come to a bottle of ice water and pour it down.

Ye Fei took out his mobile phone and looked at the time, it was three o'clock in the afternoon.

Ye Fei said: "Today's work is over early, let's go back and rest!" ”

"In a few days, it will be time for you to go to Kyoto to receive the award, and I will accompany you when the time comes."

"Han Dong, you help us book plane tickets, and everyone goes."

"The AA system of plane tickets, before Han Dong books the ticket, send the ticket price to the group, and everyone will transfer the money to Han Dong first."

"You can turn as much as you want, you can't lose a point, and if anyone has a point less, don't go."

"Good!" The people answered.

Everyone is not the master of bad money, and it is impossible to have less Han Dong because of the money for the plane ticket.

After Ye Fei finished speaking, he got up and packed his things, and went home with his computer bag.

After Ye Fei returned to school, he continued to attend classes.

He didn't have a class today, so he went home.

It stands to reason that teachers should not leave school early even if they are not in class.

Even if you leave early, you have to take a leave of absence.

But who is Ye Fei, if he leaves early, who would dare to say a word?

He is so capricious that the school leaders coaxed him.

After returning to his residence, Ye Fei entered the study, took out his laptop, put it on the desk, and then downloaded the application form from the website of the National Natural Science Foundation of China.

This is his first time applying for a research grant.

In the past, his personal research was all mathematical theoretical research, and he did not need money.

Therefore, he has not applied for a research grant once.

But the research done this time is different, it is about one of the four core technologies of blockchain, asymmetric encryption.

Doing this research is not something that can be done by a few people.

He needs talent, space, and supercomputing.

The venue school can provide it, but the talent and supercomputing, the school can't fully provide it.

Let's talk about talents first, Ye Fei needs professionals in asymmetric encryption, and the school can provide some professionals, but Ye Fei needs a lot of professionals, and Zhonghu University can't provide so many professionals.

Talents need money to do research, and they can't help them do things for free.

In the past, Ye Fei did his own projects, and he didn't have to spend money himself.

With a number theory group, the salary of the number theory group is given by the school.

And now that he is taking people to do projects, he has to give money.

Speaking of supercomputing, there is a National Supercomputing Center in Zhonghu University, which can also be used by major universities for research.

But that requires money, and the National Supercomputing Center can't give it to you for free.

Even if Ye Fei has a good relationship with the person in charge of the National Supercomputing Center in Dune.

You can go and use it for free once or twice, but you can't use it for free many times.

Even if the people at the National Supercomputing Center don't say it, you won't have the face to go again.

So, it all takes money.

It is impossible for Ye Fei to pay the money himself, even if he has more than 100 million cash, the money is not spent like this.

Therefore, the money cannot be paid by itself, and it is necessary to apply for scientific research funds.

There are four main categories of scientific research funds, namely national level, senior officials, department and bureau level and others.

The national level is divided into the National Natural Science Foundation of China and the National Key R&D Project.

Senior officials are divided into some projects of the Ministry of Education's talent program and some projects of the science and technology departments of provinces and municipalities directly under the central government.

At the department and bureau level, there are some projects in the provincial education departments and municipal science and technology bureaus/district and county science and technology bureaus.

Others are divided into open funds, title projects, professional society projects, enterprise entrustment projects and enterprise cooperation projects.

For these scientific research funds, the specific information will not be repeated too much, so as not to count the words.

Focusing on the national scientific research fund, the major universities and research institutions across the country, and the powerful people are all applying for the national scientific research fund.

The National Natural Science Foundation of China is the fairest of all scientific research funds.

However, whether you can apply or not depends on the applicant's ability and qualifications.

National key R&D projects are the big guys' money-sharing game.

Why?

Because the people who can apply for this program are all experts in the scientific community.

The amount of scientific research funds that can be applied for is very large, ranging from tens of millions to billions.

Just intercept the flow a little, and you can kill yourself.

Even, theoretically, there is no upper limit on the amount of the application.

It mainly depends on whether the declared project meets the requirements and the application is approved.

With the development of Xia Guo Science, more and more national key R&D projects are applied every year.

This is what the state is happy to see, as long as you apply and meet the requirements, the state will give money.

In 2022, the state will invest 1 trillion yuan in this, 1.28 trillion yuan in 2023, and 1.7 trillion yuan in 2024.

Ye Feixin said: "It may reach 2.42 trillion this year!" ”

Ye Fei was very greedy for the scientific research fund of the national key R&D project, and said in his heart: "The national key R&D project is not needed yet. ”

"My next research is still mainly theoretical, and when I do applied research, I will apply for the National Key R&D Project Research Fund."

"I just don't know if I'll be able to apply for it then."

Ye Fei looked at the National Natural Science Foundation of China, this scientific research fund fully met the requirements and could be applied for.

National Natural Science Foundation of China Applicant Requirements.

1. Under the age of 45.

2. Have senior professional and technical positions (professional titles) and doctoral degrees.

3. Familiar with the development trend and frontier of science and technology in related fields, have a broad academic vision, strong strategic thinking and macro grasp ability, and in principle, should have undertaken major or key projects at the national level.

4. Have relevant work experience in science and technology management.

5. During the funding period of the project, ensure that at least six months of management practice will be carried out in the corresponding science and technology management positions of the Natural Science Foundation of China every year.

There are also behaviors like what to do with good scientific research spirit, quality and not being a traitor.

It was not until about ten o'clock in the evening that Ye Fei finished writing the application for the National Natural Science Foundation of China.

Ye Fei shook his head and said, "It's still quite troublesome to write this." ”

The first step is to decide on a good research project.

It is also necessary to determine whether your research project is new, if there are people in China who overlap with your own project.

Sorry, your application failed.

For example, Ye Fei does asymmetric encryption algorithms.

It's a very routine study, and there are certainly a lot of people who are working on it, as it is.

But Ye Fei wants to explain in it that the angles from which his research is studied are different from those of the rest.

That's what makes it new.

Following!

Ye Fei put the written application form for the National Natural Science Foundation of China into a USB flash drive, went to a printing shop near the school, and printed them out.

After that, Ye Fei came to the school's scientific research department.

The people in the scientific research department were a little surprised when they saw Ye Fei, Ye Fei had never been here with them.

"Rare guest!" The director of the scientific research department smiled: "Professor Ye, why did you come to us?" ”

Ye Fei waved the application form in his hand and said with a smile: "I came to you, of course, to apply for scientific research funds." ”

The director smiled: "What scientific research fund to apply for?" ”

"National Natural Science Foundation of China!"

The director said: "Judging from your qualifications, your application for the National Natural Science Foundation of China meets the requirements, and the application should have a high approval rate." ”

"Give it to me!" The director stretched out his hand and said, "I'll help you stamp the seal, and I'll handle it next." ”

Generally, when applying for scientific research funds, all follow-up procedures are reviewed and processed by the unit, and handed in.

Ye Fei's supporting unit is Zhonghu University.

The Scientific Research Office prepares all relevant materials and then stamps them.

One is a paper version and one is an electronic version.

After that, the electronic version will be uploaded to the website designated by the National Natural Science Research Foundation of China and the project application system.

Finally, it is waiting for the review of the National Natural Science Foundation of China.

The application time takes a long time, usually seven to ten months.

Ye Fei handed the application to the director and asked, "Director, is there any way to quickly pass the application?" My last project is over. ”

"If I had waited so long, I wouldn't have much to do."

The director thought for a moment and said, "It's not that there is no way, it's just that this method is difficult." ”

Ye Fei's eyes lit up, and he asked, "What method?" ”

"You are engaged in mathematics, as long as you can find an academician who is engaged in mathematics and ask him to say hello to the Mathematics Department of the National Natural Science Foundation of China, the review speed will be very fast, and it can be completed within half a month."

"Academicians in mathematics?" Ye Fei thought for a while and said, "I seem to know one." ”

Ye Fei knew several academicians, Dean Guan, the head of the supercomputing center, and Dean Li, vice president, as well as Academician Nan Guodong.

But of these three, the first two are computer academicians, and the latter is a bachelor of cryptography.

None of them are academicians of mathematics.

Ye Fei only knew one academician of mathematics, and that was Academician Liu Shuquan.

Academician Liu Shuquan was met by Ye Fei in the supercomputing center, when Ye Fei completed the work of the supercomputing center, and Academician Liu Shuquan, as the leader, brought people to review.

At that time, Academician Liu admired Ye Fei very much and recommended Ye Fei to the Institute of Demotivation, where Ye Fei completed the final research on the singular base.

Ye Fei said: "It's just that I haven't been in touch for a long time." ”

Ye Fei has the contact information of Academician Liu Shuquan, but since leaving the supercomputing center, Ye Fei has only called to greet him every year and holidays, and has never met in person.

The two haven't seen each other for more than a year now.

The director was stunned and said, "Do you know the academician of mathematics? Which Academician of Mathematics? ”

The people who were working in the office all looked at Ye Fei in astonishment.

The Department of Mathematics of Zhonghu University is at the bottom of all 985 universities, with a B+ grade.

Even worse than the math departments of some 211 universities.

Therefore, there is not a single academician in the Department of Mathematics of Zhonghu University.

"Academician Liu Shuquan!" Ye Feidao.

"Academician Liu Shuquan?" The director's eyes widened and he said, "You actually know him." ”

Ye Fei said suspiciously: "I also mixed up in the mathematical world, is it strange that I know him?" ”

The director said with some excitement: "Don't you know the meaning of Liu Shuquan's three words?" ”

Ye Fei said blankly: "What's the point?" ”

"He is one of the top mathematicians in modern mathematics in Xia Guo, the dean of Yuanpei College of Kyoto University, the first dean of the Institute of Big Data of Kyoto University, and the first dean of the School of Big Data of Xia University of Science and Technology."

"High achievements in the fields of computational mathematics, applied mathematics, machine learning, mechanics, physics, chemistry and materials science."

"He is the first person in the Xia Kingdom to be in nonlinear stochastic partial differential equations."

"In terms of big data research, he is also the first person in Xia Kingdom."

"In terms of computational fluid dynamics, it is also a top existing."

Ye Fei said in astonishment: "He ......"

The director smiled: "Isn't he very powerful?" ”

Ye Feidao: "His research is too miscellaneous, including mathematics, physics, chemistry and materials, and robotics." ”

"Can't you study mathematics in one field?"

The director glanced at him helplessly and said, "If you can know Academician Liu Shuquan, burn high incense!" ”

"By the way, how is your relationship with Academician Liu Shuquan?"

Ye Fei said: "It's not bad, he takes care of me a lot, back then, the last step of my strange odd number was that he recommended me to go to the Power Research Institute, and I proved it." ”

"Then it looks like he really cares about you." The director smiled: "You have such a good relationship, whether it is in mathematics, physics, chemistry, materials and computer fields, it will be much easier for you to develop in the future." ”

Ye Fei muttered in his heart, I don't know him, and I also think that my development is quite smooth!

The director said: "Since you know Academician Liu Shuquan, you can ask him to say hello to the Mathematics Department of the National Natural Science Foundation of China, and then the review speed will be very fast." ”

"Okay!" Ye Fei said: "I'll call him right away." ”

The director said: "Okay, you go and get busy, and if there is a problem with the audit later, I will look for you." ”

"Okay." Ye Fei said: "I'm troublesome director." ”

"It should."

After Ye Fei left, the director shook his head and sighed: "A genius is a genius, and I have only been in the academic world for a long time, and I have known an academician of the level of Academician Liu, which is amazing." ”

The rest of the people were also emotional.

If they could get to know Academician Liu Shuquan, they could walk sideways in the academic world.

Of course, this kind of thing cannot happen, they only have envy and jealousy.

After Ye Fei left the scientific research office, he found a gazebo and sat down, then took out his mobile phone and called Academician Liu, and the phone was quickly connected.

"Hello, Academician Liu!"

"Ye Fei, you haven't called me for a long time, it's just a festival, why do you want to call me?"

"Academician Liu, can I trouble you with something?" Ye Fei was a little embarrassed.

If it weren't for the long time of review, Ye Fei didn't want to call Academician Liu.

He already owes Academician Liu a favor, and he doesn't want to continue to owe it.

As we all know, personal debts are the most difficult to repay.

Ye Fei has not returned Academician Liu's favor until now.

Academician Liu was a little stunned, Ye Feike had never begged him to do anything.

Academician Liu muttered in his heart: "It seems to be a very urgent matter, otherwise Ye Fei would not have come to me." ”

Academician Liu smiled: "Say, what's the matter?" ”

Ye Feidao: "I have recently applied for the National Natural Science Foundation of China, but the review time will take seven to ten months, and I heard that if there is a mathematical academician to say hello, the review speed will be much faster, so I ......"

Academician Liu smiled: "That's it, no problem, by the way, you haven't forgotten that you have the privilege to apply for scientific research funds!" ”

Ye Fei was stunned for a moment, and after thinking for a while, he smiled embarrassedly: "I forgot about this." ”

At that time, Ye Fei handed over the mathematical algorithm to the state, and Ye Fei was given five privileges, one of which was to reduce the difficulty of applying for scientific research funds by two levels.

But it has been more than a year since then, and Ye Fei has not applied for scientific research funds.

So, he forgot all about this privilege.

If it weren't for Academician Liu's reminder, Ye Fei wouldn't have remembered it.

Academician Liu shook his head amusedly: "Others have this privilege, and they can't wait to be deeply rooted in their minds, but you forget it." ”

"By the way, what research are you going to do?"

"Asymmetric encryption!"

"Blockchain?" Academician Liu asked.

"Yes!" Ye Feidao: "I heard that Academician Liu, you have a deep research on big data. ”

Big data and blockchain are mutually reinforcing.

The blockchain itself is a database, and big data is an in-depth analysis and mining of data, which is an indirect data.

The relationship between them is to prevent data leakage through the combination of big data and blockchain, which can make the data in the blockchain more valuable and create a more secure network information environment.

Academician Liu said with a smile: "If you talk about the research of big data in the entire Xia Kingdom, I say second, and no one dares to say first." ”

In this regard, Academician Liu is very confident, he is the person who has the deepest research on big data in Xia Guo.

Even in the world, he can be ranked in the top 10.

Ye Fei smiled: "Then you should also have some research on blockchain!" ”

Big data, blockchain and artificial intelligence, these three are complementary to each other.

Study one of them, and the other two also need to be studied to a certain extent.

"Of course!"

Ye Fei smiled: "Then I will have more places to trouble you in the future." ”

Academician Liu laughed and said: "Despite the trouble, if you don't understand anything about blockchain in the future, you can come to me." ”

"Thank you!"

After chatting with Academician Liu for a long time, Ye Fei hung up the phone.

Kyoto University, Institute of Big Data, Dean's Office!

After Academician Liu hung up the phone, he sighed in his heart: "This kid is developing very fast!" ”

"Last time, I heard that he proposed the development of blockchain in the future at the blockchain conference, and now I am starting to study blockchain."

"Although it is only one of the four core technologies of blockchain."

"Moreover, the research of blockchain is very difficult."

"But with his talent, he can definitely achieve something."

For more than a year, Academician Liu has been paying attention to Ye Fei.

He found that Ye Fei's development speed was too fast, to the point of inhumanity.

This also makes Academician Liu very much looking forward to where Ye Fei will go in the future.

"It's not that Xia Guo doesn't have talents, it's just that there is a lack of talents like Ye Fei, who were born and raised."

"I hope Xia Guo can cultivate more talents like Ye Fei!"

"In the future, the talents of Xia Kingdom do not need to go abroad to study, and they can learn more cutting-edge knowledge in their home country."

After speaking, Academician Liu called the National Natural Science Foundation of China and asked them to review Ye Fei's information from Zhonghu University as soon as possible.

After hearing this, the National Natural Science Foundation of China was surprised that Ye Fei had a relationship with Academician Liu.

After Zhonghu University sent Ye Fei's application materials, it was approved in less than a week.
