From university academician to chief academician

Three months passed in the blink of an eye, and the year entered 2026, when Ye Fei was 25 years old.

If you include the month and day, Ye Fei has not celebrated his birthday yet. Strictly speaking, he is now 24 years old.

Ye Fei felt that he didn't do much this year.

In the first half of the year, he helped the laser laboratory develop a ground-based anti-satellite laser weapon, and then joined the number theory team and led the team members to study Gaussian conjecture.

Help two medical device companies develop two of the world's top medical devices.

This led to the establishment of a medical device laboratory at Zhonghu University by the top ten domestic medical device companies.

In the second half of the year, I came to Chang'an University of Electronic Science and Technology to study cryptography.

Not long ago, I went to Shanghai to deliver an academic lecture on blockchain.

Nothing else matters.

The heating was on in the research room, and Ye Fei stood in front of the window looking at the snowy scene outside with a cup of steaming coffee in his hand.

It was snowing in Chang'an at this time, and the white snow fell from the sky like cotton wool.

For a moment, the whole world was covered in silver.

Ye Fei sighed in his heart: "Time flies so fast, another year has passed."

Ye Fei felt that there was not enough time. There were too many things he wanted to do, but he didn't do much in a year.

He wants to study number theory, including Gaussian conjecture, BSD conjecture, Riemann conjecture, Goldbach conjecture, Bonacci sequence, dot integer problem in number theory...

Research includes laser experiments, cryptography, blockchain, Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, robots, quantum communications...

"I wish I had the ability to clone myself, so that I can do everything I want to do in a short time."

Of course, Ye Fei also knew that this was impossible.

At this time, his cell phone rang.

He took out his mobile phone and opened a WeChat video call.

Ye Fei's mother appears on the phone.

Mother Ye smiled and said, "Son, the Chinese New Year is almost here, when will you come back!"

Ye Fei smiled and said, "Mom, the laboratory is too busy, so I won't go back."

"Not coming back?" Ye's mother was stunned for a moment. She hadn't seen Ye Fei for a year.

Now Ye Fei is getting busier and busier. In the past, Ye Fei would go back during the summer vacation. This year, Ye Fei didn't even go back during the summer vacation.

Hearing that Ye Fei would not go back for the New Year, Ye's mother felt a little sad.

Mother Ye said: "Okay, you have to work, if you don't come back, you won't come back!"

"Do you have enough money? Don't starve yourself. If you don't have enough clothes, buy them. Don't be reluctant to spend money."

"If you don't have enough money, I'll ask your dad to give you some."

Ye Fei said dumbfounded: "Mom, it's been several years since I graduated, and I'm getting paid. Also, when I went home two years ago, you saw that I had a balance of tens of millions in my bank card. I must have enough money. use."

Mother Ye smiled and said: "I'm used to it, I'm used to it."

"Don't your colleagues leave even in the lab?"

"Yes." Ye Fei said: "They are not leaving, they will celebrate the New Year with me."

"That's good." Mother Ye said with a smile: "During the Chinese New Year, you will be busy together. Will you eat dumplings during the Chinese New Year?"

"Eat dumplings. Then we will make dumplings together."

"Okay!" Mother Ye said, "Let your dad tell you!"

"Don't give it to me, I won't tell, you tell me!" Father Ye's voice came from the phone, but he did not appear in the video.

After a while, Father Ye’s head appeared in the video.

Father Ye said with a calm expression: "Xiao Fei, how is your work this year?"

"Very good." Ye Fei smiled.

"As long as it's good, well, that's it!"

The call was transferred to Ye's mother again, and Ye's mother said: "You know your father is a person who can't say a lot of things. He actually misses you."

"I know." Ye Fei smiled.

"Who missed him?" Father Ye's irritable voice sounded.

Ye Feidao: "Mom, I want to discuss something with you."

"Huh?" Mother Ye asked, "What's the matter?"

"Mom, if, I mean if, I had been working at Zhonghu University, would you come to Sand Dune to live with me in the future?"

"Of course, we are just your child. If we don't live with you, we won't have anyone to take care of us at home!"

Ye Fei asked: "Then are you willing to let go of your relatives and friends in Jinling?"

"What can we do if we can't bear to leave? You work in the sand dunes, so we have no choice but to go."

Ye Feidao: "Okay, I understand."

Ye Fei had a decision in mind, not that he wanted to work in Alibaba.

But if there is a chance, he will still go back to work in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai, so that he can still be with his parents to take care of them.

Of course, with his current ability, there are many ways to return to work in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai.

For example, Jinling University, Shanghai Jiaotong University, and Zhejiang University all want to invite him to teach in their schools.

Ye Feixin said: "It's not impossible to teach in these three universities, but Zhonghu University's investment in my training is very valuable. If I leave, Zhonghu University will suffer a lot."

Ye Fei had two laboratories attached to him, and Zhonghu University had spent a lot of resources on him in the past.

Many of the projects Ye Fei took over, do you really think he came up with them himself?

Those were all projects brought in by Zhonghu University, and Ye Fei had no choice but to choose.

Zhonghu University also scientifically and rationally planned Ye Fei's future development path based on Ye Fei's talent.

Many uninitiated projects are also tailor-made for Ye Fei.

Zhonghu University also sought policies for Ye Fei from above.

If Ye Fei suddenly leaves Zhonghu University, Zhonghu University will first lose two research laboratories.

Projects that have not been launched will also be suspended, and all policies sought from above will be withdrawn.

Ye Feixin said: "So this matter needs to be carefully planned and a way to find a way to return to work in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai without letting me leave Zhonghu University."

Ye Fei hasn't figured out how to implement this yet.

At this time, Nan Guodong came over and said, "Ye Fei, do you remember that I asked you before why you didn't enter the Mathematics Society?"

"Yeah!" Ye Feidao said, "I remember, you asked me why I didn't join the Mathematical Society. I said it was because the Mathematical Society didn't invite me."

Nan Guodong handed an invitation letter to Ye Fei and said with a smile: "Now the Mathematical Society invites you."

"Huh?" Ye Fei took it in surprise and opened it.

[Dear Professor Ye Fei, Xia Guo Mathematics Society sincerely invites you to become an honorary member of Xia Guo Mathematics Society! 】

Ye Fei smiled and said: "It's really an invitation from the Mathematical Society."

Nan Guodong smiled and said: "Be happy, you will become an honorary member of the Mathematical Society as soon as you enter."

"The honorary membership of the Mathematical Society is much more valuable than the honorary membership of the Number Theory Society."

The Mathematical Society is also divided into group members, individual members and honorary members.

It is very easy to become a member of the Mathematical Society. Anyone who is engaged in mathematical work and has some ability can join.

But it is difficult to upgrade to an individual member, and even harder to upgrade to an honorary member.

It is more difficult than the affiliated associations of the Mathematics Society.

Like the Number Theory Association, promotion is easier than in the Mathematics Association.

Because of this, individual membership and honorary membership of the Mathematical Society are highly valued.

Of course, because it is easy for group members of the Mathematical Society to enter.

Therefore, the value of group membership of the Mathematical Society is not high.

Nan Guodong said: "When I first joined the Mathematical Society, I was also a member of the group. After many years of development, I became one of the vice presidents of the Mathematical Society."

Nan Guodong is a cryptography academician, and academicians are treated like chairman of the board in the society.

In both the Cryptozoology Society and the Mathematical Society, Nan Guodong was the vice-chairman.

Nan Guodong said: "I heard that you are still a member of the Youth Science and Technology Workers Association?"

"Yeah!" Ye Feidao: "Yes."

"This association is not simple!" Nan Guodong exclaimed: "You must know that the person who founded this association is now very important."

"I know!" Ye Feidao.

"If you become a senior member of the Youth Science and Technology Workers Association, you can go anywhere in any society. If you pursue an official career, it will be very smooth."

The Young Science and Technology Workers Association has a very special status in Xia State.

Although it is an association, it is not a society.

But because of the founder's relationship, his status is very high.

On the surface, it is not superior to other university associations, but people who understand know that the benefits of joining the Young Scientists and Technologists Association are higher than those of other associations.

First of all, the Young Scientists and Technologists Association has too many resources.

People from the Youth Science and Technology Workers Association have a very smooth career path.

Therefore, many people want to join the Youth Science and Technology Workers Association.

But it was too difficult to get into the Youth Science and Technology Workers Association. Ye Fei was able to get in because he was recommended by the Hong Kong Polytechnic University.

Even so, they are only group members, and it is very difficult to advance to individual membership.

Ye Fei smiled and said: "I don't want to pursue an official career, nor do I want to go sideways in various universities. I just want to do scientific research and leave some insignificant contributions to this society, this country, and this world."

"Looking back on your life in your later years, you will have a sense of accomplishment."

Nan Guodong said: "If others hear your remarks, they will beat you to death."

"Other people join the Youth Science and Technology Workers Association to gain benefits, and most of them want to pursue a career. But you are good, but you want to do scientific research. You are really wasting your resources."

After receiving the invitation letter, Ye Fei went to Kyoto in person, boarded the Mathematical Society, and interviewed the chairman of the Mathematical Society.

Office of the Chairman of the Mathematics Society!

The chairman is Tian Yong, a native of Jinling, Jiangsu Province, a mathematician, an academician of the Xia National Academy of Sciences, an academician of the Northern Li National Academy of Arts and Sciences, director of the academic committee of the School of Mathematical Sciences of Kyoto University, professor, doctoral supervisor, and former vice president of Kyoto University.

He mainly studies the existence problem of Kahler-Einstein metric, quantum cohomology theory, high-latitude Yang-Mills connection, research on four-dimensional flow and degenerate complex Mongolia-Ampere equation.

His achievements were extraordinary not only domestically but also internationally.

He has served as a member of the Organizing Committee of the Science Frontier Forum of the National Science and Technology Committee of North Korea, a member of the Scientific Advisory Committee of the Banff International Institute of Mathematics in Canada, a member of the Academic Committee of the 24th International Congress of Mathematicians, and the Chairman of the Berkeley MSRI Geometry Year Project. , Abel Prize judge, editorial board member of Annals of Mathematics and Editorial Board of Journal of Mathematics Progress.

Tian Yong has made extraordinary achievements in the field of mathematics and has also made great achievements in politics.

At this moment, Ye Fei and Tian Yong were sitting on the sofa. Ye Fei was making tea with very non-standard movements, and Tian Yong was guiding him.

"Okay, okay, that's it." Tian Yong smiled.

Ye Fei poured a cup of tea for each of them. Tian Yong picked up the tea cup with his right hand, put it to the tip of his nose, smelled it, and then took a sip.

After putting down the teacup, Tian Yong watched Ye Fei finish the tea, put down the teacup, and said, "After all, we are still fellow villagers."

"Yes!" Ye Fei smiled.

Tian Yong and Ye Fei are both from Jinling.

In fact, Jiangsu Province and Zhejiang Province have the most university graduates, and Suzhou has the most academicians.

Jinling, the capital city of Jiangsu Province, has the largest number of academicians in Jiangsu Province.

Tian Yong smiled and said: "Ye Fei, the application of the elliptic curve cryptography system in the SET protocol you published not long ago is a good idea. "

In e-commerce, secure electronic transactions, referred to as SET, the SET protocol is currently one of the most secure protocols and solves certain security problems.

SET has the advantages of ensuring the integrity of transaction data and non-repudiation of transactions, and is a recognized international standard for online transactions.

But its security is not high. Ye Fei recently studied cryptography and blockchain, and happened to study the SET protocol.

In view of the shortcomings of the SET protocol, he improved the SET protocol, making the SET protocol much more secure.

Ye Fei discovered that the reason why the SET protocol is not very secure is because the underlying algorithm has serious shortcomings.

The underlying algorithm of the SET protocol is time-consuming and affects the speed of decryption.

Therefore, he designed a new underlying algorithm suitable for the SET protocol to improve the operating speed of the underlying algorithm and increase the speed of decryption.

This algorithm was created by Ye Fei and is different from all algorithms on the market. Ye Fei called this algorithm the NAD algorithm. In the NAD algorithm, he also added the MD5 hash algorithm.

Improve the security of the elliptic curve cryptosystem in the SET protocol.

After Ye Fei posted his paper on the new SET protocol on Arxiv, many e-commerce companies have contacted him and wanted to buy the new SET protocol from him.

Although the new SET protocol is not perfect yet, it is just a concept, and the effect is not very clear.

But a person’s name is like a tree’s shadow!

Judging from Ye Fei's past record, the SET protocol he created is definitely not bad.

It's cheaper to buy now.

If you wait until later, the price may increase by more than ten times.

Like many well-known scientists, they just proposed a concept, but before the results came out, they were targeted by many people or companies.

Now Ye Fei also enjoys this kind of treatment.

Ye Fei and Tian Yong talked for a long time about academic issues.

Ye Fei gained a lot of experience from Tian Yong, and Tian Yong also marveled at Ye Fei's talent in mathematics.

Tian Yong smiled and said: "When I was your age, I was still in school in Beili Country, but you have already made a name for yourself in the world of mathematics. It's not easy."

Ye Fei chuckled and said: "Chairman, you have given me the award. Compared to your research, my research is just a piece of cake."

Tian Yong shook his head and said: "You are not just making a fuss. I heard that you proposed the future research direction of blockchain at a global blockchain academic conference some time ago."

“It even proposed the concept of cross-chain and digital wallets, allowing people who study blockchain around the world to find the research direction of blockchain.”

"I heard from friends in the financial industry that during this period, the stocks of the blockchain sector are growing rapidly, especially the stocks of the world's most famous blockchain companies."

Ye Fei was surprised: "Is there such a thing?"

Ye Fei never pays attention to stocks and finance, so he doesn't know about this.

Tian Yong saw Ye Fei's surprise and smiled: "It seems you don't know."

"I really don't know." Ye Fei shook his head and said, "I didn't even expect such a thing to happen."

Tian Yongdao: "The scientific community is very important to any field. The world's most important results are all spread from the scientific community."

"In the Internet field, bubbles are the most serious. Often when an idea appears, the share value of a certain Internet sector will grow rapidly."

"You proposed the research direction of blockchain, which has a great impact on the blockchain field. It is normal for the market value of these blockchain companies to increase."

Ye Fei said jokingly: "If I had known this earlier, I would have spent all my money on buying blockchain stocks before publishing an academic report on blockchain. I should be making crazy money now!"

"Haha..." Tian Yong laughed: "This is a good method. Next time you publish an influential academic report, you can do this in advance."

Tian Yong added: "If you want to learn blockchain, Mathematics Institute has the most research on blockchain in Xia Guo. I can open up permissions for you to learn."

"The Mathematics Association has the most blockchain research in Xia State?" Ye Fei was surprised: "Shouldn't it be the Computer Society?"

"After all, blockchain belongs to the computer field."

Tian Yongdao: "Blockchain is a joint research project of the Mathematics Society, the Computer Science, Finance and Cryptozoology Society, and the four major societies for document sharing."

“In other words, in the field of blockchain research, people from the Mathematics Society, Computer Society, Finance Society and Cryptozoology Society can all learn from it.”

"Yes!" Ye Fei nodded and said with a smile, "Thank you, Chairman."

Ye Fei was very happy. Having this information would be of great help to him in his research on blockchain.

"It's okay!" Tian Yong shook his head and said, "This is what I should do. The purpose of the Mathematical Society is to promote the development of mathematics and the growth of science in Xia State. For a genius like you, the Society has the obligation to help you."

Ye Fei smiled!
