From a university student to a chief academician

Chapter 148 Establishing a Blockchain Lab
After receiving the award, Ye Fei and others returned to Zhonghu University.

Due to the lack of scientific research funds, the Gauss conjecture research of the number theory group has temporarily stopped.

Therefore, Ye Fei and the others are very free recently.

There is nothing else to do but go to class.

Ye Fei also went to the Scientific Research Office to inquire about whether the application for the scientific research fund was approved.

The director of the scientific research department smiled and said: "Professor Ye, don't run away to me if you have nothing to do. If you pass, I will call you as soon as possible."

Ye Fei smiled wryly, "I don't want to either, it's just that I've been too busy recently and always want to find something to do."

The director said: "I know, but the research funding is not up to us, we have to wait."

"By the way, Academician Liu Shuquan, you should look for it!"

"I found it." Ye Fei said, "He said he would greet the higher-ups for me."

"Then there is no problem." The director said: "At most one more week, as long as there is no problem with your research direction, then the scientific research fund will come down."

"Good!" Ye Fei said.

The results of the postgraduate entrance examination re-examination are generally announced five to seven days after the end of the postgraduate entrance examination re-examination, and the specific time is determined by each university independently.

Many students who participated in the re-examination have been waiting with anxiety these days.

Today is the date for the announcement of the re-examination results of the postgraduate entrance examination of Zhonghu University.

A dormitory at Zhonghu University!
Early in the morning, before seven o'clock, Wang Yuan sat in front of the computer, opened the results query page of Yanzhao.com, and refreshed it with the mouse from time to time.

Wang Yuan knew that the results would not be announced until eight o'clock.

But he was fidgeting, like an ant on a hot pot, wanting to see results quickly.

Let him know the results earlier and give up, otherwise he will always miss it.

He heard that Professor Ye only recruited two students this year.

However, 152 students chose Professor Ye.

1.3% pass rate.

This can be said to be the lowest pass rate of all universities in the world.

Occasionally, Wang Yuan regrets, should he not choose Professor Ye, he can choose other mathematics professors!

But at this time, Wang Yuan would have a voice in his heart: "Professor Ye is necessary. Only by following Professor Ye can there be a way out on the road of mathematics. There is no way out following other professors."

Wang Yuan graduated from Zhonghu University, so he has an advantage in taking postgraduate exams in this school. It is easy to get high scores in the written part of the preliminary and re-examination.

If you go to other universities, it is not easy to get a high score.

In addition, Zhonghu University has a talented mathematician like Ye Fei, and there is a way out following him.

There are many great mathematicians in other schools, but those mathematicians may not like him.

So, after careful consideration, he still chose Ye Fei.

Wang Yuan thought: "If I fail the re-examination, I will go to another school in World War II."

"At Zhonghu University, only Professor Ye can take the exam, other teachers forget it!"

The other three people in the dormitory woke up at this time and saw Wang Yuan sitting in front of the computer.

Li Wei said: "Wang Yuan, what are you doing?"

"Wait for the results!" Wang Yuantou said without replying.

Li Wei said: "That's right, today seems to be the date when the re-examination results of Zhonghu University's postgraduate entrance examination will be released."

Zhao Likang said: "It's not even eight o'clock yet, the results will come out at eight o'clock, it's useless for you to sit here, let's go, let's have breakfast together, after breakfast, the results will almost come out. "

"No!" Wang Yuan shook his head and said, "I can't eat without seeing the results."

"Okay!" Zhao Likang said.

After a while, the three roommates got dressed, and after washing, they also sat beside Wang Yuan, waiting for the results together with Wang Yuan.

It was eight o'clock before I knew it.

Xia Xudong shouted: "It's eight o'clock, Wang Yuan hasten to check the results."

"understood."

Wang Yuan said as he put his hands on the mouse tremblingly, and clicked to refresh tremblingly.

Staring at the webpage on the computer, my heart beats rapidly.

I prayed continuously in my heart: "I must pass, I must pass."

The interview results will not be displayed and will be counted in the comprehensive professional course scores.

Whether the postgraduate entrance examination is passed or not is generally based on 50% of the initial test and 50% of the re-examination.

Admission with this score.

"Yes!" Wang Yuan clenched his fists excitedly when he saw the word qualified.

This means that Wang Yuan passed the postgraduate entrance examination and became Ye Fei's student.

"Amazing, Wang Yuan, you can pass the exam." Li Wei smiled and said, "Congratulations."

"I heard that there were 152 people who wanted to apply for Professor Ye, but he only admitted two people. I didn't expect you to be admitted successfully. Congratulations." Zhao Likang smiled.

Xia Xudong smiled and said, "Congratulations, Wang Yuan, you have achieved your wish."

"Haha..." Wang Yuan laughed loudly, "Thank you!"

Wang Yuan is in a good mood right now, and feels that the future is promising.

Wang Yuan waved his hand and said, "Let's go to eat, I'll treat you to breakfast."

After speaking, everyone went outside.

March 2026, 5, ten o'clock in the morning!

Ye Fei was sitting in the office chatting with Tan Lingling and the others.

Tan Lingling is sharing with Ye Fei a snack bar she recently discovered, and is strongly recommending it to Ye Fei.

Ye Fei smiled and said: "Okay, I must go to taste it this Saturday."

At this time, Ye Fei's cell phone rang.

He took it out to look, and his eyes lit up instantly. It was the phone number of the director of the scientific research department.

He was excited. It had been half a month since the last time he applied for the scientific research fund. Now that the director of the scientific research department called him, it must be because the scientific research fund was applied for.

If he didn't apply, the director of the scientific research department would have told Ye Fei that there was something wrong with his application.

Ye Fei quickly connected the phone and said, "Director!"

"Ye Fei, the application for the scientific research fund has been completed, and the money will be in place tomorrow, so you can sign it tomorrow afternoon."

"it is good!"

The next day, afternoon!
Ye Fei came to the scientific research office and said with a smile, "Director, have all the 1000 million yuan been applied for?"

Ye Fei applied for 1000 million from above.

If the higher-ups feel that Ye Fei's research is not worth 1000 million, they will reduce the research funding.

"It's 1000 million!" The director said with a smile: "The money has arrived, you can sign it!"

The director said, took out a contract and put it in front of Ye Fei.

After Ye Fei read the contract carefully, he took out the pen on the table and quickly signed it.

In fact, there is no need to look at the contract too carefully, because anything Ye Fei researches is good for the school and the country.

Therefore, it is impossible for the school and the country to cheat Ye Fei at this moment.

After the scientific research fund is in place, it doesn't mean that the money will be transferred to Ye Fei's account, but to the school's account.

All the money used in future research can be taken from this account.

But it will be supervised by the school.

After Ye Fei finished signing, he came to the dean's office.

"Ye Fei, why are you here?" The dean looked at Ye Fei who walked in and said, "Sit!"

With that said, the dean stood up, walked over to sit on the sofa with Ye Fei.

Ye Fei smiled and said, "Dean, let's discuss something with you!"

"Say it!" the dean said while making tea.

"I want to build a laboratory."

"Laboratory?" The dean looked at Ye Fei in astonishment and said, "What laboratory?"

"Blockchain Lab!"

"Do you want to study the blockchain?" The dean said in surprise: "This is very cutting-edge research, and the blockchain seems to belong to the computer field, right? You are a math student, what kind of blockchain are you studying!"

Ye Fei smiled and said: "Dean, computer is a derivative subject of mathematics. Although blockchain belongs to the field of computer, it seems that there is no conflict with my research in the field of mathematics!"

"Are you rich?" asked the dean.

"I have already applied for a 1000 million scientific research fund from above."

"1000 million?" The dean shook his head amusedly and said, "You just use 1000 million to study the blockchain, is it enough to get between your teeth?"

"Don't say 1000 million, even [-] million is not enough for you."

As we all know, things in the computer field are very expensive.

The blockchain is a very cutting-edge research in computers, and one billion was burned in less than half a month.

As for 1000 million, it is enough for a day or two.

Ye Feidao: "I don't do applied research, and 1000 million for applied research is definitely not enough. I do theoretical research, and the money for theoretical research is enough to last for a while."

"Even if you do theory, your 1000 million can only last for one year, can you produce results in this year!"

"Ye Fei, I know your research speed is very fast, but this is a blockchain, and the research difficulty is very high, and it is difficult to produce results."

Ye Feidao: "Of course I know this, but you also know that I studied security systems some time ago and came into contact with cryptography and blockchain research. I have in-depth research on cryptography and have a certain understanding of blockchain. "

"I proposed the future development and research direction of blockchain at the global blockchain academic conference."

"So, I am confident that results will be produced within a year."

The dean said: "In this case, let's try it. If there is no result within a year, the school will have no money to inject capital to you, unless you attract investment from outside, or ask for money from above."

The dean knows Ye Fei's ability, and he still has some confidence that Ye Fei can research something on the blockchain.

But the dean lacked confidence in Ye Fei's research within a year.

After all, that's blockchain, not ordinary research.

If it can be researched so easily, it is not very cutting-edge research.

Ye Fei smiled and said, "Thank you, Dean!"

The dean said: "The top floor of Dongfeng Building is still vacant, you can use it."

"If there are results, I will help you build a laboratory."

If it really produces results, it depends on the size of the results.

If it is a big achievement, it is not to establish a laboratory, but to establish a research institute or research institute.

After all, it is the blockchain.

Many universities and research institutions do not have the strength to do research if they want to do so!

"Good!" Ye Fei said.

"Although the laboratory has not yet been established, the procedures still have to be done in accordance with the regulations."

"it is good!"

"What level of laboratory are you going to build?"

The laboratory is divided into three levels, the higher the level, the higher the requirements.

For a first-level laboratory, the person in charge of the laboratory needs to have a bachelor’s degree or above, and a mid-level or above title.

The laboratory area is not less than 80 square meters, and there are self-selected projects with significant economic benefits that have been completed in the past three years.

Second-level laboratory, the person in charge of the laboratory has a bachelor degree or above, a professional title of associate high school or above, and has more than three years of working experience in similar laboratories.

The laboratory area is not less than 150 square meters.

Currently undertaking senior official project projects based on the technology of this laboratory, in the past 3 years, he has completed bureau-level projects or self-selected projects with significant economic benefits.

In the past three years, scientific research projects based on the main technology of the laboratory have achieved high-level achievements, and academic papers based on the main technology of the laboratory have been published in domestic professional core journals every year.

The third-level laboratory, the person in charge of the laboratory has a bachelor’s degree or above, a title of associate high school or above, and has more than five years of work experience in similar laboratories.

The laboratory area is not less than 300 square meters.

In the past 3 years, scientific research projects based on the main technology of the laboratory have obtained high-level official achievements, and published academic papers or invention patents based on the main technology of the laboratory that have been included in famous retrieval systems such as SCI.

Ye Fei said: "Level [-] laboratory!"

In terms of Ye Fei's identity and qualifications, the first-level laboratories are overqualified, and the third-level laboratories need academic papers or invention patents on the blockchain that are included in SCI.

Plus five years of work experience.

Ye Fei did not meet the standards in these aspects.

Therefore, the secondary laboratory is just right.

"Okay!" said the dean, "You can go to the administration office to apply, and I'll call the administration office right away."

The school establishes a laboratory, which is managed by the administrative office.

If the outside world sets up a laboratory in the school, this kind of laboratory does not belong to the first, second and third levels, but the provincial, municipal and ministerial level.

The application for this type of laboratory is not mainly managed by the school administration office, but needs to be applied to the city, province, and these places, and the administration office assists in the management.

"Row!"

Ye Fei walked out of the dean's door and walked towards the administration office.

After arriving at the administrative office, because the dean called, the process went very smoothly.

Walking out of the administrative office, Ye Feixin said: "I have the money and the land, I just need to send people. This is the most difficult part."

Ye Fei went to Lu Yishan's office!

Lu Yishan was stunned when he saw Ye Fei, and asked, "Why are you here?"

"Mentor!" Ye Feiye and Lu Yishan were not polite, and sat down on the stool next to Lu Yishan's desk and said, "I need your help."

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

Lu Yishan put down the pen while speaking.

Ye Feidao: "I am now building a blockchain laboratory, but I need five deputy senior titles to be appointed. I can't do it alone. I need your help to install the assignment."

"No problem." Lu Yishan said: "You and I are two people, there are three more!"

"I'm going to let Professor Zhou Kang from the School of Computer Science join in."

Lu Yishan nodded and said: "Now there are three people, there are two more!"

"There are two others I plan to recruit from outside."

Lu Yishan shook his head and said, "No need, I will pull Liu Yisheng up, there are four of them now, you just need to find one more person."

Liu Yisheng is a good friend of Lu Yishan, but he is only on a temporary basis. If Lu Yishan steps forward, Liu Yisheng will still give Lu Yishan face.

Ye Fei smiled and said, "That's really great, if that's the case, I only need to bring another person here."

Lu Yishan said: "It is very difficult to attract people with the title of deputy senior. In every university and research institution, with this title, the salary is very good. It is very difficult to get them to come."

Ye Fei nodded and said, "Of course I know this, so I am also in trouble."

Lu Yishan smiled and said: "If it's just a temporary job, why do you need to dig it from outside, you can get it from our school!"

"After all, they are only asked to hang up their jobs, not to let them do experiments by themselves."

"By the way, how is your relationship with Professor Yuan Hua in the laser laboratory?"

Ye Fei once worked in the laser laboratory for a period of time. At that time, the experiments were divided into four groups, and Ye Fei was the leader of the mathematics theory group.

Professor Yuan Hua is the leader of the mathematics application group.

"So-so!" Ye Fei said, "We have worked together for a while, but he and I haven't seen each other for a long time."

Professor Lu said: "You can try to talk to him, maybe he will agree!"

"Okay!" Ye Fei said, "I'll try it."

After leaving Lu Yishan's office, he went to find Professor Zhou Kang, and Professor Zhou Kang readily agreed.

Professor Zhou is a eccentric person in the School of Computer Science, but he admires Ye Fei very much.

So, when Ye Fei asked him to do something, he readily agreed.

After looking for Professor Zhou Kang, Ye Fei took out his phone and called Professor Yuan Hua.

"Professor Yuan, what have you been up to lately!" Ye Fei smiled.

"Ye Fei?" Yuan Hua was taken aback when he heard Ye Fei calling him, and then said, "Recently I'm researching the DES algorithm and the RSA algorithm."

Ye Fei was surprised. He didn't expect that Professor Yuan Hua was also researching algorithms in cryptography.

DES algorithm and RSA algorithm are widely used in cryptography, big data, cloud computing, blockchain, etc.

But both DES algorithm and RSA have obvious disadvantages.

The DES algorithm has the advantage of faster operation speed, but it is relatively low in terms of security, reliability and key immobility.

The RSA algorithm has better security, but the operation speed is slower.

DES algorithm and RSA algorithm, the advantages and disadvantages of these two algorithms are opposite.

Ye Fei smiled and said, "Professor Yuan, what are the DES and RSA algorithms you studied?"

"In terms of big data, I want to combine the DES algorithm and the RSA algorithm. Their shortcomings are opposite, and I want to combine their advantages."

"In this way, the algorithm combined with them becomes an algorithm with fast operation speed, high security, reliability and key immobility."

Ye Fei said: "This is a very good idea, I wish you success, if you need my help, you can always mention it."

In terms of algorithms, Ye Fei is very good at it.

For the entire Zhonghu University, he said confidently that he could rank among the top ten in terms of algorithm research.

After all, Ye Fei has used a lot of algorithms in his research all the time, has studied many algorithms, and even created some algorithms.

For example, mathematical algorithms, algorithms in ground-based anti-satellite laser weapons, and algorithms in cryptography.

Moreover, Ye Fei is now mainly studying number theory, which is the most conducive to the study of algorithms among all mathematical categories.

Professor Yuan smiled and said, "Yes, if I encounter difficulties, I will definitely come to you."

Ye Fei said: "But Professor Yuan, I have something to trouble you now."

"Huh?" Professor Yuan asked, "Tell me."

Ye Feidao: "I'm building a blockchain laboratory recently, but I need five people with deputy senior titles to join the post, and there are already four of them, namely me, my mentor Lu Yishan, and my mentor's friend Professor Liu Yisheng. , and Professor Zhou Kang from the School of Computer Science, now there is only the last one left."

"Is it just a temporary job?" Yuan Hua asked: "I haven't finished my own research, and I don't have time to do other research."

"It's just a temporary job!"

"Okay, I promise."

"Thank you, Professor Yuan."

After hanging up the phone, Ye Fei let out a long breath.

Pulling people to post is the most difficult thing, but I didn't expect it to be solved so easily.

It has to be said that Ye Fei's accumulated contacts in the past played a big role at this time.

Of course, if Ye Fei was not capable, he would not be able to accumulate so many high-quality contacts.

After all, no one wants to play with someone lower than themselves.

Ye Feixin said: "The last thing is to recruit people, from inside and outside the school."

The laboratory has been established, but only a dozen people from the number theory group are following Ye Fei's research.

These dozen or so people were completely unable to support Ye Fei to do research.

Therefore, he needs a large number of scientific researchers.

A week later, Zhonghu University's blockchain laboratory was officially listed and all licenses were completed.

Afterwards, Ye Fei used the software X-MOL to recruit people.

This software is specifically for recruiting scientific researchers.

Ye Fei also posted information to recruit people on ResearchGate, Researcher, Xiaomuchong and Lilac Garden.

Ye Fei then asked all the scientific researchers he knew to see if there was a suitable candidate.

In just a few days, many people in the mathematics and computer circles know that Ye Fei enters the blockchain field and needs a large number of scientific researchers.
