From university academician to chief academician

After leaving the canteen, Dong Siyuan and Ye Fei separated, walked on the road, took out their mobile phones and called Ji Yunda.

After Ji Yunda came to the sand dunes, he stayed in a hotel near Zhonghu University.

At this moment, he was meeting with his team members via video to discuss the plan to poach Ye Fei.

Ji Yunda asked: "Has Ye Fei's information been collected?"

"Collect all the information online. Team leader, I found that Ye Fei is really a genius. He proved many mathematical problems. Hilbert's first problem and most of the problems in set theory were proved by him alone."

"He single-handedly solved this 150-year-old problem."

"It's amazing."

The people in Ji Yunda's team began to be amazed from the beginning of their investigation of Ye Fei.

Mathematics geniuses are great.

When meeting such people, they always feel as if they and Ye Fei are not living in the same world. The IQ gap between them and Ye Fei is wider than the IQ gap between humans and dogs.

Ji Yunda said: "It's useless to say this. The world they see is different from the world we see, and their ideas are also different."

"We must face up to our own ordinaryness and ordinaryness."

There are differences between people. Some people are born with a higher starting point than others, while some people are born with a starting point behind them.

If you compare yourself with others, you will find that dogs are better than you.

Ji Yunda said: "Okay, let's continue, Xiao Wu, you visited Ye Fei's hometown, did you find anything?"

Xiaowu said: "Team leader, Ye Fei is from Jinling. His parents are both in Jinling. His parents opened a small noodle shop and the business was very good. I even went in to have a meal. It tasted great. All the neighbors nearby liked it. .”

"I also talked to many people and found out that Ye Fei has been smart since he was a child. He is not like many children who are smart and fun. He is quieter and likes to study."

"But he is very different from ordinary geniuses."

"Geniuses have been gifted in learning since childhood."

"Ye Fei is not like that. He is smart, but he doesn't seem to be a genius, and his performance is not very outstanding."

"I think he was a late bloomer."

"..."

Xiao Wu told a lot of Ye Fei's deeds, from which we can see Ye Fei's character, character and habits.

Maybe he could see what Ye Fei cared about and recruit him more easily.

Ji Yunda said: "I have recently investigated the latest news here. Ye Fei's deposits have reached more than 100 million, so it is very difficult to poach him through money."

"We have to start from other aspects."

"More than 100 million?" The team members widened their eyes in surprise.

Someone asked: "Team leader, does he have more than 100 million in cash?"

Ji Yunda said speechlessly: "I already mentioned the deposit, and of course the deposit is in cash."

Everyone took a breath of cold air and became heartbroken.

More than 100 million in cash, but not invested?

Put it in your bank card and take it out to read every day?

Most people will invest if they have so much money.

Ji Yunda said: "From this aspect, Ye Fei doesn't know how to manage money."

Ye Fei: "???"

I don’t know how to manage money?

I'm a math major who doesn't know how to manage money?

I just don’t have the energy to study economics.

Xiao Wu asked: "Team leader, have you seen Ye Fei?"

"No!" Ji Yunda shook his head and said, "But I have already found a junior student of mine. He has a good relationship with Ye Fei. I should be able to see him soon."

"This time our recruitment target has a close relationship with the team leader, which is a lot more convenient!"

"That's right, haha, I'm really lucky. Not only is the person we're looking for someone related to us, but the recruitment fee is also very high."

"Yeah, it's quite easy to make money."

"..."

At this time, Ji Yunda's cell phone rang.

Ji Yunda took it out, took a look at it, and said, "Stop talking. My junior fellow student called me. He should be talking about my meeting with Ye Fei."

Everyone immediately shut up.

Ji Yunda answered the phone and said with a smile: "Dong Siyuan, how did things go?"

Dong Siyuan said: "Sorry, Ji Yunda, Ye Fei is very busy recently. He may not have time to see you. He just returned to Zhonghu University today and started working. He manages the number theory group and some teaching work at Zhonghu University. ."

"When I meet with him, he takes time out of his busy schedule to meet me."

"Even the dean of our college has to come to see him personally."

"It's almost impossible for the rest of the people to see him."

"You also know that there are many people like him who want to cooperate with him. Our school's external liaison department receives more than a dozen calls every month from people who want to talk and cooperate with Ye Fei."

"But Ye Fei refused every time and had no time to meet these people."

"So, please understand."

"Okay!" Ji Yunda felt very disappointed. Without meeting Ye Fei, it would be difficult to discuss many things.

Ji Yunda showed a dry smile on his face and said: "I understand, I know. If there is a chance, please let me meet Ye Fei."

Dong Siyuan said: "If I have the opportunity, I will definitely arrange it."

"Well, that's it. Hang up. I'll buy you a drink when I have time."

"OK."

After hanging up the phone, Ji Yunda said: "It's an emergency. Ye Fei is temporarily unable to meet with me. We have to find a way how to meet with Ye Fei."

"Team leader!" A team member said: "I just investigated the news. On the 25th of this month, a global blockchain academic conference will be held in Shanghai, and Ye Fei is on the invitation list."

"We can go there and find him."

"Global blockchain academic conference?" Ji Yunda frowned.

Ji Yunda has little understanding of global blockchain academic conferences.

At most, I know that blockchain is a very popular research field on the Internet today, and I don’t know anything about the rest.

But judging from the name, the Global Blockchain Academic Conference is a very high-end academic conference.

It is difficult for ordinary people to enter a meeting like this.

"Yes." The man said: "The Global Blockchain Academic Conference is a global conference, one of the most high-end conferences in the blockchain field, and one of the most high-end conferences in the computer field."

"Blockchain is the most popular research in the computer field in recent years."

“Many world-renowned mathematicians, computer scientists, entrepreneurs, and principal and deputy personnel will attend the introduction.”

Ji Yunda said: "Someone from Ali will definitely be there by then. Xiaoyu, please contact Ali and see if you can bring me with him."

Such a high-end meeting cannot be entered by ordinary people, and Ji Yunda has no way of entering.

But Alibaba is also a world-renowned company that studies blockchain. Someone from Alibaba will definitely go there, so he can be brought in through Alibaba’s channels.

"Okay, team leader!"

Ji Yunda said: "Come, let's talk about how to talk to Ye Fei in the future."

He and the people in the team analyzed Ye Fei's various characteristics and found out what Ye Fei cared about, hoping to recruit Ye Fei.

…………

Single apartment near Zhonghu University, Ye Fei's residence!

It was ten o'clock in the evening, and Ye Fei was sitting in his study preparing materials for a global blockchain academic conference in a few days.

If you want to give an academic report at a conference like this, the content cannot be commonplace.

It must be very forward-looking content, otherwise it will make people laugh.

Ye Feixin said: "Asymmetric encryption in cryptography is one of the core technologies of the blockchain."

“In blockchain, there are two other technologies that also belong to cryptography.”

“It’s just that they are not core technologies, but they also play an important role in the blockchain.”

"That's hashing and elliptic curve cryptography."

"The proportion of hashing algorithms is even higher, followed by elliptic curve encryption algorithms."

Speaking of these two algorithms, Ye Fei thought of Mochizuki Shinichi.

Because these two algorithms are the core technologies of Bitcoin, and Bitcoin was initiated by Mochizuki Shinichi, who is the boss behind the scenes.

Ye Feixin said: "Hash algorithm and elliptic curve encryption algorithm are both encryption algorithms currently used by Bitcoin."

Hash algorithm, elliptic curve encryption algorithm, Base58 encoding and zero-knowledge proof.

They are the four encryption algorithms of Bitcoin.

"Elliptic curve encryption is the most secure of all encryption algorithms."

Because it is a growing encryption algorithm, the more data added, the more complex and secure it becomes.

This is like artificial intelligence. The more knowledge it adds, the smarter and more human it becomes.

Therefore, some people say that the elliptic curve encryption algorithm is the most secure encryption algorithm in the world today.

With current technology, it cannot be cracked.

Countries around the world are studying elliptic curve encryption algorithms.

Strengthen the defense function of the elliptic curve encryption algorithm to prevent the elliptic curve encryption algorithm from being cracked one day.

They also study how to break elliptic curve encryption algorithms, which can lead to better encryption algorithms than elliptic curve encryption algorithms.

Elliptic curves are very useful. They are used in Riemann surfaces, BSD conjectures and Abelian varieties.

It was also proved by Andrew Wiles, the world's hard problem, Fermat's conjecture, which became Fermat's theorem.

"About elliptic curves, you can have a good chat with Mochizuki Shinichi." Ye Feixin said: "He is one of the most authoritative people in the world today in this regard."

There is a contact method between Ye Fei and Mochizuki Shinichi. The two have a good relationship and occasionally discuss academic issues.

After speaking, Ye Fei turned on his computer and sent an email to Mochizuki Shinichi to ask some questions about elliptic curves.

Just ten minutes after sending the email, he received a reply from Mochizuki Shinichi.

"Huh?" Ye Fei was surprised: "He didn't sleep!"

Mochizuki Shinichi: Are you also interested in elliptic curves?

Ye Fei: Is it surprising that I am interested in elliptic curves?

Mochizuki Shinichi: Haven’t you been studying number theory? Elliptic curves belong to the category of algebra. Have you finished studying Gaussian conjecture?

Ye Fei: No, it’s just that I have been studying cryptography recently. Asymmetric encryption is one of the core technologies of blockchain, and hash algorithm and elliptic curve encryption algorithm are both one of the technologies of blockchain. "

Mochizuki Shinichi: Got it, you want to study blockchain, right? I also have some research in this area, and we can discuss it.

For the next three days, Ye Fei was discussing research on blockchain with Mochizuki Shinichi.

This gave Ye Fei a lot of inspiration for cryptography and blockchain.

Cryptography is not only the core of information security systems, but also the core of blockchain.

Of course, Mochizuki Shinichi’s conversation with Ye Fei also gave him a lot of inspiration about blockchain.

Mochizuki Shinichi lamented: "Ye Fei has grown so fast. I feel as if every time I communicate with him, he has made great progress."

"If he grows at this rate, there may be a Fields Medal winner in Xia Country."

Mochizuki Shinichi sent a message to Ye Fei: Blockchain currently has many shortcomings, but the development of blockchain is the hottest field on the Internet today, and with rapid development, I believe that within ten years, blockchain will definitely be implement.

Ye Fei: I also believe that the development of blockchain is very promising. Although it has many shortcomings, it will definitely be improved gradually.

Ye Fei sighed in his heart: "Mochizuki Shinichi is worthy of being the founder of Bitcoin. His understanding of the blockchain may be one of the strongest among all mathematicians."

“You know, there’s a lot of blockchain knowledge that goes into Bitcoin.”

"The reason why blockchain has become popular in recent years has a lot to do with the emergence of Bitcoin."

In 2008, a person named Satoshi Nakamoto proposed the concept of blockchain for the first time.

In the following years, blockchain became a core component of the electronic currency Bitcoin.

The information recorded in the blockchain is more authentic and reliable and can help solve the problem of people's mutual distrust.

Xia Guo attaches great importance to the development of blockchain and has very high policy support.

On November 14, 2022, the Changan Chain team of Kyoto Microchip Blockchain and Edge Computing Research Institute successfully developed the massive storage engine Huge, whose Chinese name is "Hong", which can support PB-level data storage and is currently the largest supported one in the world. Blockchain open source storage engine.

Blockchain is used in fields such as finance, Internet of Things and logistics, public services, digital copyright, insurance, public welfare and justice.

“If blockchain research emerges, it can greatly accelerate the research and development of the Internet of Things and Trusted Computing 3.0.”

"This will be of great benefit to Xia Guo."

"Xia has a large population, rich people, and high consumption energy. It is the largest consumer market in the world."

"With the Internet of Things, Xia Guo's consumption vitality will be higher, Xia Guo will become richer, and the country will develop faster."

"With Trusted Computing 3.0, that's even less so."

"If it happens, there will be an earthquake in the entire chip market."

"In the future, in the chip field, Xia Guo can block the chip's neck in the upstream of the chip."

"Then Xia Guo is no longer afraid of the chip being blocked."

The upstream is stuck by the Xia State. If the downstream wants to produce chips, it must turn to the Xia State.

"So, Xia Guo's development of blockchain has great benefits."

Three days later!

There are still four days left until the Global Blockchain Academic Conference.

In the next three days, Ye Fei prepared an academic report for the conference.

He first wrote out the title and outline, and then sent the title and outline to the conference organizing committee and applied to give an academic report on stage.

The next day, the organizing committee replied that he could go on stage to give an academic report for half an hour.

A half-hour academic report is not an academic report that is taken very seriously.

The older an academic report is, the more attention it is paid to its proof.

The longest is one hour, the shortest is half an hour.

Three days later, Ye Fei looked at the finished report and nodded with satisfaction.

He looked at the time, it was twelve o'clock in the evening.

He packed the things on his desk and went to bed.

The next day, he took a plane to Shanghai early in the morning.

At this moment, many people around the world are taking flights to Shanghai to attend global blockchain academic conferences.
