From university academician to chief academician

After returning to Zhonghu University, Ye Fei first returned to the office.

Ye Fei hasn't returned to Zhonghu University for a long time. It's been half a year since he left.

Ye Feixin said: "I regard all full-time professors as part-timers, and there is no one left."

Of course, Ye Fei also knew that the school didn't care if he didn't work full-time at all, as long as he stayed at Zhonghu University.

Besides, many university teachers fly around the world all year round, and it is common for them to be unable to stay in school for only a few days a year.

Therefore, Ye Fei's phenomenon is not an isolated case, but a common phenomenon.

After entering the office, Tan Lingling was talking on the phone with someone else. When she saw Ye Fei walking into the office, a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes.

Tan Lingling said a few words to the phone, then hung up and said with a smile: "You rare visitor, why are you back today?"

"I have something to do back at school." Ye Fei chuckled.

Tan Lingling smiled and said: "That's right. If nothing happens, you won't go back to school."

Tan Lingling continued: "I have good news for you, my title as sister is about to be promoted."

"Yeah!" Ye Fei nodded: "Good thing, when will it be promoted?"

"next year!"

After Ye Fei and Tan Lingling chatted for a while, they went to the office of the dean of the School of Mathematics.

Ye Fei knocked on the door and went in. The dean was surprised when he saw Ye Fei walking in, then he smiled and greeted him, and asked, "Why are you back?"

Ye Fei used to be the star of the school, and even more so now.

Ye Fei has not only made great achievements in mathematics, but also in the fields of computers and materials.

Naturally, the school likes people who have developed well in so many fields.

Ye Fei sat down and said, "Dean, I'm here to apply for co-election as an academician."

"Academician co-election?" The dean said in surprise: "Yes, next year is the academician co-election year, but aren't you only a third-level professor? It doesn't seem to be in compliance with the rules!"

"Of course, if you want to participate in the co-election of academicians, there is no way."

"As long as you are quickly promoted to a second-level professor, you can apply for co-election as an academician."

Ye Feidao: "I asked someone before I came here, and that person said the same thing."

The dean smiled and said, "Actually, if you don't tell me, the school will help you get promoted to a second-level professor soon this year."

With Ye Fei's performance today, it is natural for him to be promoted to a second-level professor.

"It just so happens that you are making this request now, so let's take a fast track and try to upgrade the professional title in the next few days."

"Okay!" Ye Fei nodded.

The dean said: "You wait in the school for a few days. In the meantime, the school will prepare materials for you. Once your professional title is upgraded, it will help you apply for the election of academician."

"Okay." Ye Fei nodded.

The dean looked at Ye Fei expectantly and asked, "What professional title are you going to apply for?"

Ye Feike has applied for quite a few academicians, including academician in mathematics, academician in computer science and academician in materials science.

Mathematics and computer science can be applied for membership of the Academy of Sciences, and materials can be applied for membership of the Academy of Engineering.

"Mathematician!"

The dean smiled and said: "Okay, it's great to be a mathematician. A mathematician has the highest status among all academicians, so you should apply to be a mathematician."

As the dean of the School of Mathematics at Zhonghu University, he naturally hopes that Ye Fei will apply for a bachelor's degree in mathematics.

This is good for Ye Fei and also good for the School of Mathematics.

"But you have to be mentally prepared. It is very difficult to be a mathematician. It has the highest evaluation standards among all academicians."

"You may not be co-opted next year."

"I know!" Ye Fei nodded and said, "Before I came here, someone had already told me about this and asked me to make greater achievements in mathematics, otherwise I would have to wait for the co-optation of academicians in three years' time. "

"He said that if I am not elected next year, I should have experience in being co-opted as an academician!"

"That's what I think too. Even if you don't get co-opted, it doesn't matter. Just treat it as an experience."

"Anyway, we have also experienced the co-optation of academicians. With this experience, maybe we can be co-opted next time!"

The dean chuckled and said: "What you are saying is that it is a very good idea for you to have this mentality. You are still young. Even if you are not elected next year, there will be another year after that. If you are not elected the year after that, you will still be able to be elected in a few years. Continue to co-opt.”

"With your age, you can choose more than a dozen times."

Academicians cannot be co-opted if they are over 65 years old. Ye Fei is only 27 years old now, and there are still 38 years left before he turns 65.

Ye Fei can participate in the biennial co-optation of academicians 19 times.

"Yeah!" Ye Fei nodded.

After leaving the dean's office, Ye Fei returned to the number theory group office.

The people in the number theory team were very surprised to see Ye Fei.

They rarely see Ye Fei in school now, and if they can see Ye Fei in school, they feel like they have won a lottery.

Han Dong smiled and said, "Why are you back?"

"I have something to do when I come back." Ye Fei smiled.

Immediately, Ye Fei looked at everyone and said: "Our research progress is pretty good. One-fifth of the research has been completed now. According to this progress, the proof can be completed in April next year."

"However, I still want to speed up the research progress."

"Next, I will study with you for eight hours a day."

Ye Fei works twelve hours a day. Before, he spent four hours a day studying mathematics and eight hours a day studying materials.

But now, Ye Fei is running for mathematics academician.

He needs to prove Hilbert's 12th problem as soon as possible, and then find a mathematical problem that can increase the success rate of being elected as a mathematician.

Therefore, Ye Fei now has to adjust his research time, studying mathematics for eight hours a day and studying materials for four hours.

Surprise showed on everyone's faces.

With the addition of Ye Fei, the speed of mathematical proofs will be much faster.

They also hope to win the prize by passing Hilbert's 12th question!

Ye Fei looked at Lin Yi and Wang Yuan and said, "You have been studying well recently. You can take over some research projects."

A smile appeared on the two people's faces. After joining the number theory group, they found that what they had learned before was different from that of the number theory group.

It's like learning the pinyin alphabet in the first grade of elementary school, while the content of the number theory group is college-level mathematics.

The gap is so big!

This half year of study has allowed them to improve a lot.

From being ignorant to being able to understand the ideas for solving problems.

They feel that if they are allowed to take the postgraduate entrance examination now, they can get full marks in mathematics.

Ye Feidao: "Han Dong, you can assign some not difficult tasks to the two of them and let them work together. The others should not help them."

Han Dong looked at Ye Fei speechlessly, they are not my students, they are your students.

Shouldn't it be you, the teacher, who does this?

Han Dong saw that Ye Fei didn't seem to think that he was their teacher. Han Dong nodded helplessly and said, "Okay, I understand."

Ye Feidao: "Keep working!"

In the next few days, Ye Fei stayed at Zhonghu University and worked with people from the number theory group every day.

December 25, 2028!

Since the school was on a fast track, Ye Fei was promoted to a second-level professor in just ten days.

The school then reported Ye Fei's information to the Xia Academy of Sciences.

On January 1, 2029, apply for the co-election of second-level professor Professor Ye Fei as an academician of the Department of Mathematical Physics.

In the Xiaguo Academy of Sciences, it is divided into six departments.

They are the Department of Mathematical Physics, the Department of Chemistry, the Department of Life Sciences and Medicine, the Department of Earth Sciences, the Department of Information Technology and Science, and the Department of Technical Sciences.

There are a total of 1,058 academicians in the Xia Guo Academy of Sciences.

Among them, the Department of Mathematical Physics has the largest number of academicians, accounting for 19%.

The Faculty of Life Sciences and Medicine and the Faculty of Technical Sciences both reached 18%.

The Department of Earth Sciences is 17%, the Department of Chemistry is 16%, and the Department of Information Technology and Science is 12%.

After that, the school used all resources to prepare for Ye Fei to be co-opted as an academician.

This is the time to fight for capabilities, resources and connections.

The reason why it is difficult to add academician Xia Guo is because ability, resources and connections are all indispensable.

Ye Fei is also planning to use his connections. He has accumulated a lot of connections over the years.

For example, Academician Guan, the director of the Dune Supercomputing Center.

At that time, Academician Liu Shuquan, a mathematics academician who reviewed supercomputing algorithms at the Supercomputing Center.

Academician Nan Guodong, a cryptography professor at Chang'an University of Electronic Science and Technology, Ye Fei studied cryptography with him and created cryptography algorithms.

Later, Ye Fei entered the blockchain field and developed asymmetric encryption because of this.

Chengdu University of Electronic Science and Technology, Academician Ning Zhi, and Ye Fei study Li-Fi.

Ye Feixin said: "These connections are not enough, we need to add one more!"

"As long as five academicians support me and my academic research passes the test, I can become an academician."

"Of course, it's too early to find them."

"I'll look for them after I finish my math research."

Because Ye Fei didn't meet the standards in mathematics research, even if they came to them at this time, they couldn't support Ye Fei.

Therefore, Ye Fei's idea is to wait until the mathematics research reaches the standard before looking for them.

After the school helped Ye Fei apply to be co-opted as an academician, Ye Fei left Zhonghu University and returned to the National Institute of Biology to continue studying genetics.

Xia Academy of Sciences, Review Department of the Department of Mathematics and Physics!

The Review Department of the Department of Mathematical Physics reviews project research reports and fund application reports submitted by the institutes, institutes, research centers, science centers and technology centers under the Department of Mathematical Physics of the Xia Guoan Academy of Sciences.

There are also applications for co-election of academicians.

The Audit Department is led by two academicians and composed of professors from many top universities.

Wei Xian is a third-level professor of mathematics at Kyoto University.

This year is the academician election year. Recently, many universities across the country have applied for the academician election.

Wei Xian was one of the people who reviewed the co-optation of academicians.

"Huh?" Wei Xian looked at the application materials that had just been submitted: "Ye Fei? Ye Fei from Zhonghu University?"

"He is only 27 years old this year!" Wei Xian said in surprise: "He started applying for co-election as an academician at the age of 27?"

"Is it too early?"

The youngest academician of Xia State is Lu Ke. He entered Jinling University of Science and Technology at the age of 16 and became an academician at the age of 38. He mainly studies nanomaterials.

At the same time, Lu Ke is also one of the three people in Xia Guo who won the Mel Award, which is the award that Ye Fei won some time ago.

Wei Xian murmured to himself: "If this is co-opted, he will be the youngest academician of Xia State."

"11 years younger than Lu Ke back then."

"Even if we look at history and the whole world, we are still the youngest academicians."

"Newton became an academician at the age of 29, Einstein became an academician at the age of 34, Fields Medal winner Donaldson became an academician at the age of 29, Paul Dirac became an academician at the age of 28, and Peter Schulz became an academician at the age of 29. Heisenberg became an academician at the age of 32, Hawking became an academician at the age of 32, and Terence Tao became an academician at the age of 33."

These people are all the youngest academicians alive in history and in the modern world.

Paul Dirac is a Nobel Prize winner in physics, a theoretical physicist, and one of the main founders of quantum mechanics.

Peter Schulz is a talented German mathematician, known as the Mozart of mathematics.

Heisenberg is a Nobel Prize winner in physics, the main founder of quantum mechanics, and a representative of the Copenhagen School.

As for Newton and Einstein, there is no need to introduce them. Everyone on earth knows them.

Wei Xian shook his head and chuckled: "If he is elected, it will shock the world."

"What's more, Ye Fei was elected as an academician of Xia State."

"Everyone around the world knows that Academician Xia Guo has the highest gold content and the highest difficulty."

Then, Wei Xian thought of Ye Fei's achievements and frowned: "With Ye Fei's achievements, he can be co-opted as an academician and meets all the requirements."

"It's just that he was co-opted as a mathematician. With his current performance, he can't be co-opted!"

"Unless you make outstanding achievements in mathematics before October this year."

"However, mathematics is too difficult. How is it possible to achieve dazzling results in a short time!"

Wei Xian didn't know Ye Fei, nor had he met Ye Fei before he said this.

If he knew Ye Fei, he wouldn't have said these words.

Can Ye Fei's research speed be measured by secular standards?

Wei Xian asked Ye Fei to pass the review.

After all, Ye Fei met the criteria for being co-opted as an academician.

Regardless of age, education, background, or working experience, they are all consistent.

Afterwards, Wei Xian called the director of the Audit Department.

"Director!" Wei Xian said with a smile, "I just received an academician review application document from Ye Fei of Zhonghu University."

"Is that Ye Fei who developed asymmetric encryption and discovered C72 fullerene?" the director asked.

"Yes."

The director said in surprise: "Ye Fei is not very old this year!"

"Yes, he is 27 years old this year. He was born on November 15th."

"You are so young to participate in the co-optation of academicians?" The director asked in shock: "Is he so anxious? His current performance does not meet the requirements. He can wait a few years!"

The director did not need to ask Wei Xian what direction Ye Fei applied for as an academician.

The director could logically deduce what academician Ye Fei wanted to apply for.

First, Wei Xian is the auditor who reviews academicians in mathematics and physics.

Then only applications for co-optation of academicians in mathematics and physics can be reviewed.

Ye Fei's physics field is materials research, but materials science cannot apply for academicianship of the Xiaguo Academy of Sciences, but can only apply for academicianship of the Xiaguo Academy of Engineering.

Therefore, Ye Fei must have applied for a bachelor's degree in mathematics.

Wei Xian chuckled and said, "Who says it's not the case, but he just declared it."

"Since he meets all the conditions for applying to become an academician, I have already allowed him to pass."

"Okay!" said the director: "If it passes, just pass it. Just give him the experience of applying for academicianship once, and apply for co-election of academician next time. He will not apply blindly like this time."

"Yes!" Wei Xian said, "That's what I think."

Soon, the two hung up the phone.

February 1, 2029!

Ye Fei ended his studies at the National Institute of Biology and returned to the Graphene Research Institute to continue his research.

Ye Feixin said: "In the next time, we will start experimenting with the combination of materials science and genes. I hope there will be a breakthrough!"

"At the same time, mathematics cannot be left behind. A quarter of the research has been completed. In two months, Hilbert's 12th problem can be proved."

"I also want to take advantage of these two months to think about the next research direction."

"This research direction must allow me to be co-opted as a mathematician."

"If we can't be co-opted this year, we will have to wait three years." Ye Fei shook his head and said, "I don't want to wait three years."

"In three years, I am going to run for academician of both academies."

Ye Fei's plan for himself is very clear. He will be elected as an academician of the Xiaguo Academy of Sciences this year, and will be elected as an academician of both academies three years later.

“In the scientific community, most resources are only accessible to academicians.”

“Only when you are elected as an academician can you truly enter the scientific community.”

After becoming an academician, you will have academic exchanges with many academicians from other countries.

Many top international conferences can only be attended by academicians.

The top international conferences mentioned here are not conferences held by some international societies, but conferences held by some countries.

"After becoming an academician, you will have access to the documentation center and scientific database of the Xia Academy of Sciences."

The documentation center and scientific database of the Xia Academy of Sciences are the highest level of knowledge in the Xia Academy of Sciences. Compared with the academic libraries of various societies that Ye Fei looked at in the past, there is a huge gap between them and the documentation center and database of the Academy of Sciences.

You must know that the document center and scientific database of the Xia Academy of Sciences collect all the knowledge of all universities and academicians of the Xia Academy.

"If you go further, you can become an academician of the Third World Academy of Sciences."

The Third World refers to developing countries in Asia, Africa, Latin America and other regions.

"Academicians of the Third World Academy of Sciences are the best academicians."
