From university academician to chief academician

Professor Lu Yishan went to the dean's office to submit a summary of this month's work.

He is now the leader of the Algebra Research Group, which, as the name suggests, is a group of professors, lecturers and teaching assistants studying algebra together.

In all 985 universities, there are various groups composed of school teachers.

For example, math group, physics group, computer group...

Each group is divided into separate groups. For example, the mathematics group has an algebra group and a number theory group.

Although Lu Yishan specializes in set theory, he also specializes in algebra.

It is impossible for a full professor of mathematics at 985 University to be a full professor of mathematics who only knows one subject: mathematics.

They are good at all mathematics categories, specializing in one to three subjects.

Professor Lu Yishan specializes in set theory and group theory and Lie groups in algebra, and he also knows a bit about everything else.

After Lu Yishan handed in his work summary, he did not leave immediately and said: "Dean, Ye Fei has been working for nearly a semester!"

"Yeah!" The dean thought for a moment, nodded and sighed: "Time flies so fast, it's almost a semester, why do you ask?"

"Is this year's outstanding youth competition going to start?"

Distinguished Young Scholars, whose full name is the National Science Fund for Outstanding Youth, selects approximately 160 nationally outstanding youths every year, with funding ranging from RMB 800,000 to RMB 1.6 million per person for a period of four years.

In addition to the requirements of being a Xia citizen, having good morals and having experience in undertaking research projects.

They must also be under 45 years old, have a doctoral degree, and have been working for more than nine months.

The dean said funnyly: "You always want to benefit your students."

"Hehe..." Lu Yishan smiled and said nothing.

The dean said: "But he hasn't reached the end of his working life, hasn't he?"

Lu Yishan said: "Yes, there is a rule in the Outstanding Youth League. If you have strong personal ability and are highly recommended by the university, you can apply even if you have not yet completed your working years."

The dean nodded and said: "That's okay."

"But there are only one or two places each year. You are asking me to compete with other colleges!"

Lu Yishan licked his face and said with a smile: "Dean, I still need to trouble you about this matter."

"Hey..." the dean sighed and said, "Okay, I'll try my best to get it, but don't have too much hope. The 160 quotas for outstanding students are allocated to all universities and research institutes across the country, so there are too many!"

"And the number of places highly recommended by colleges and universities is only one or two per year for each 985 university."

"At this time, all colleges are watching."

"Although Ye Fei is excellent, it is only in our School of Mathematics. In other colleges, even if they know that Ye Fei is outstanding, they will not give the place highly recommended by the university to our School of Mathematics."

"Besides, you also know that mathematics in our school is not a top major, but only a first-class major in the province."

"So in terms of competition, it is inherently weaker than other colleges."

Lu Yishan said cautiously: "Didn't Ye Fei just help the school get a laser research laboratory? When you talk to the superiors, the school should consider this aspect!"

The dean nodded and said: "That's true, but it's still a bit difficult to win."

"Again, no matter how good Ye Fei is, he is only from our School of Mathematics. Other colleges definitely don't want to give us places."

"But I will definitely try my best to fight for it."

Ye Fei carried his computer bag and walked into the office from the outside.

He had just finished a class. When he returned to the office, he sat down at his seat, took out his computer from his bag, turned it on, and prepared to browse Arxiv.

At this time, the academic director came in from outside.

Tan Lingling quickly stood up and greeted us with a smile: "Director, why do you have time to come to our place?"

The director smiled and said, "Don't I have something to ask you for?"

He looked at Ye Fei and smiled: "Ye Fei, are you busy?"

Ye Fei stopped what he was doing, looked at the director, and said, "Director, is something wrong?"

The director looked around, then pulled up a stool, sat next to Ye Fei, and said, "Shuimu University has invited you to give a lecture, will you go?"

"Shui Mu University?" A trace of surprise flashed in the eyes of the other three people in the office.

You know, as one of the top two universities in the country, Shuimu University rarely issues lecture invitations to other universities in the country. It usually sends lecture invitations to top-ranked universities in the world.

I didn't expect to send an invitation to Ye Fei this time. Moreover, Ye Fei is not a professor, just a lecturer.

"Shuimu University?" Ye Fei frowned and asked in confusion: "Why did Shuimu University send me a lecture invitation? What should I give a lecture on?"

The director said: "Shuimu University has also said this. Did you publish a paper recently? It's called Gaussian Circle..."

"Research on the proof of the inner area of ​​a Gaussian circle." Ye Feidao.

"Yes!" The director nodded and said, "Yes, it is a study on the proof of the area inside the Gaussian circle."

He smiled bitterly: "Look at my brain, I can't even remember it."

"There is a mathematics group in the School of Mathematics at Shuimu University. It is a group composed of many mathematics professors, lecturers and teaching assistants from Shuimu University. It specializes in mathematical research."

"One of the groups, after seeing your paper, conducted some research."

"I found that your research is very helpful for Gaussian beams, so I want you, the author of the paper, to give a lecture."

Gaussian beam, or laser beam, uses a large number of Gaussian functions, which is one of the main application research directions for the application of Gaussian functions.

There is no need to go into details about the role of laser. Its application range is very wide.

Even though lasers have been studied for many years, many applications of lasers have not been thoroughly studied.

There are still many people doing research.

Ye Fei thought for a moment, and that was fine. Shuimu University happened to gather a group of the best people in the country. If he went to give a speech, he could gain a lot of inspiration.

Ye Feidao: "What about the cost?"

There are fees for giving speeches. It is impossible to give a speech for free just because the other party is Shuimu University.

This is not to give a speech, but to be a licker.

"According to regulations, lecturers' speech fees are not too high." The director said, "But your speech fee is still quite high."

"When you were in school, you once gave a lecture at Fudan University. The fee was 20,000 yuan."

"Now you are a lecturer, and the speaking fee is 50,000."

"Fifty thousand?" Ye Fei nodded and said, "Okay, please help me reply, and I'll go give a speech."

"Fifty thousand?" Tan Lingling and others were surprised.

Is Ye Fei's speaking fee so high?

Generally speaking, the lecture fee for an associate professor in the school is between 10,000 and 20,000, and for a full professor, it is between 20,000 and 40,000. Unexpectedly, Ye Fei's fee is 50,000.

This is more than the lecture fee of a full professor.

In fact, it was mainly because Fudan University raised Ye Fei's worth back then.

Back then, when he was still studying for his Ph.D., Fudan University offered him 20,000 yuan to give a lecture.

After he became a lecturer, his speaking fee doubled or tripled, which is why the speaking fee is now 50,000.

Otherwise, according to regulations, the lecturer's speaking fee is around 5,000.

Ye Fei's current speech prices are inconsistent with market logic and are purely caused by price gouging.

Speaking fees will only go up, not down.

In the future, as Ye Fei's achievements become higher and higher, speaking fees will continue to increase.

The director stood up and said with a smile: "Okay, this is what I came here to talk about. I'm leaving. I'm going to reply to Shuimu University now. You wait for my news."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

After the director left, Tan Lingling immediately looked at Ye Fei in surprise and chirped: "I didn't expect your speech fee to be so high? One speech of yours costs less than half a year's salary of mine."

Ye Fei shook his head and said amusedly: "It's been a long time since I encountered a speech. This kind of thing is rare."

Tan Lingling said with a smile: "Do you want an assistant? I will be your assistant."

Ye Fei shook his head and said, "I can't afford to treat you."

Tan Lingling's family situation is very good, and she usually has tens of thousands of pocket money.

With my little money, I can give Tan Lingling at least 100,000 yuan a month!

Tan Lingling said: "It doesn't matter if you have money or not. I mainly want to visit Shuimu University. I haven't been to Shuimu University yet."

Ye Feidao: "If you want to take a look, you can go at any time. Shuimu University is not closed to the outside world and allows people from other schools to visit."

Tan Lingling smiled, she was just joking.

I really want her to be an assistant, but she’s not willing yet!

It's great to be a teacher in school. It's decent, easy work and high salary.

Two days later, Ye Fei received a message from the director.

The lecture is this Friday at 10am.

On Thursday afternoon, Ye Fei flew to Shuimu University.

After getting off the plane, the director of Shuimu University came to pick him up and put him in a hotel near the school.

The next morning, the director took Ye Fei to see the dean of the School of Mathematics at Shuimu University and some professors.

After that, everyone led Ye Fei to the lecture theater of Shuimu University.

At this time, there were many people sitting in the lecture theater, including mathematics professors, lecturers and teaching assistants from Shuimu University, as well as students from Shuimu University.

There are 500 seats, and more than half of them are occupied.

"I heard that Ye Fei is here to give a speech today."

"Which Ye Fei?"

"Who else could it be, Ye Fei, of course Ye Fei from Zhonghu University."

"Is that Ye Fei who proved the continuum hypothesis?"

"It's him."

"I heard that he is only 23 years old this year. Is it true?"

"Of course it's true. You can check it on the official website of Zhonghu University."

"Another genius."

"..."

The professors, lecturers and teaching assistants sitting in the front row glanced at the students behind them who were discussing heatedly.

She sighed in her heart: "Geniuses are still popular. Ye Feiren has been sought after by the students even before he came."

Ten minutes later, a group of people entered the lecture theater.

Many people stared at Ye Fei in the crowd with curious eyes.

Afterwards, the group sat in the front row.

The host came on stage and introduced the school leaders and Ye Fei present. Then he announced the start of the speech and Ye Fei came on stage.

"Bah bang bang..." Warm applause erupted instantly from below.

Ye Fei walked onto the stage wearing headphones and said with a smile: "Thank you very much for the invitation from Shuimu University. To be honest, Shuimu University has always been the university that I have always dreamed of, but I couldn't get into Shuimu University because of my own inability."

The dean of the School of Mathematics sitting below smiled and said, "Can you also come to Shuimu University to be a teacher now!"

Ye Fei smiled and said: "I can't decide this matter. I have to ask the dean of our college if he is willing to let him go."

"Hahaha..." The teachers and students below laughed.

Ye Feidao: "Okay, no more nonsense, let's start my speech."

“The content of my speech today is the study of light strip image processing methods in the three-dimensional perspective of structured light.”

Professor Qian, who was sitting below and listening to the lecture, was startled: "What a coincidence?"

This is exactly the problem he has been focusing on recently, and it is also the problem that troubles him.

If this problem is dealt with, his research is complete.

Professor Qian is a tenured professor at Shuimu University, head of the 3D Laser Laboratory, and doctoral supervisor at Shuimu University.

He once engaged in postdoctoral research at the International Center for Theoretical Physics, the International Institute for Advanced Study, and the MIT Department of Physics.

He is a member of the National Science Foundation's scientific research funding review committee. In 1995, he was awarded the National Science Foundation's scientific research project as an independent researcher.

He returned to China in 1999 and won the National Outstanding Youth Fund in 2000.

Originally, he didn't want to attend this lecture. His colleagues saw that he was stuck in research and forced him to attend. Maybe he would be inspired by the lecture.

But he didn't expect that this time he would hear a lecture that was helpful to his research.

Thinking of this, he immediately concentrated and listened to the lecture carefully.

He thought to himself: "I hope it will be helpful to my research!"

Ye Feidao: "In the structured light viewing angle system, the extraction accuracy of the light strip center directly affects the measurement accuracy of the entire measurement system..."

"Filtering algorithms, parabola fitting, Gaussian curve fitting are used here..."

"When the Gaussian curve g=ke^(-x-)^2, it can be determined by..."

Professor Qian was surprised: "So that's the case, why didn't I think of it!"

"Use Gaussian curves to determine Gaussian curves of different shapes, and use the data near the peak point on the cross section of the fitting light bar to determine the fitting curve..."

He sighed in his heart: "This time the school has made a lot of money. A speech worth 50,000 yuan has created profits of hundreds of millions."

His research is about to be completed. This research can create tens of millions of value every year, and it will be worth hundreds of millions in ten years.
