From university academician to chief academician

Zhuang Nan and others entered the dormitory and saw Ye Fei sitting at the desk busy.

The three of them looked at Ye Fei in astonishment, and Zhuang Nan asked: "Ye Fei, aren't you studying for a Ph.D.? The school has not arranged any other accommodation for you? The environment in the dormitory for doctoral students in our school is very good. I heard that it is a two-person dormitory. Room with refrigerator, microwave and bathroom.”

Ye Fei said without looking back: "The dean said he would arrange a single apartment for me, but I felt it was too lonely to live alone, so I didn't change."

The expressions of the three of them suddenly became stiff. Single apartment? This environment is also great!

Xu Tian asked: "Is it the single apartment in the community next to the school?"

The community next to the school was built by the school and is specially designed for school teachers to live in.

The environment is beautiful, the facilities are sound, and the decoration is grand.

Whether you rent or buy, it's very cheap.

"Yes!" Ye Feidao.

The three of them were envious. The treatment was much better than that of a doctoral student, and was equivalent to that of a school teacher.

My heart was pricked again!

The air was filled with heavy silence. Zhuang Nan felt that it was time to break the silence. He walked behind Ye Fei and asked, "Ye Fei, what are you busy with?"

The other two breathed a sigh of relief.

It feels really uncomfortable to have a super academic next to you.

The topics are not integrated into one piece, and I often get hurt.

Ye Feidao: "I thought of the proof idea of ​​singular cardinal numbers, wrote it into a paper, and prepared to publish it."

"What?" The three of them looked at Ye Fei and asked in surprise.

Zhuang Nan said in disbelief: "You mean to prove singular cardinal numbers?"

"Yes!" Ye Feidao.

Zhou Lingan smiled and said: "Ye Fei, are you bragging?"

Ye Fei stopped what he was doing, turned to look at him, and said, "Just think of me as bragging!"

He knew that it was hard for people to believe this. After all, this was a 149-year-old unsolved problem. If anyone claimed to have proved the singular cardinality, I believe few people would believe it until the paper was reviewed and approved.

Since Zhuang Nan and the others didn't believe it, there was nothing Ye Fei could do. When the paper was finished and passed the review, they naturally believed it.

Facts speak louder than words!

"Huh..." Zhuang Nan and the other three took a long breath.

Now there is a big gap between them and Ye Fei. If Ye Fei proves the singular cardinality again, it will look like they are useless.

"Ding..." At this time, a text message came from Ye Fei's phone, and he picked it up and took a look.

It was a paper bonus given to him by the school's Academic Affairs Office, four SCI area one papers, each worth 20,000 yuan, a total of 100,000 yuan.

When he published his first solution paper, he did not go to the Academic Affairs Office to collect the money. He wanted to wait until all four papers were published and received an approval email before he went to collect the money.

It just so happened that the fourth paper that had been approved came through the mail yesterday, so he took the four mails to collect the money.

After the Academic Affairs Office inspected it, they asked the finance department to send the money. The finance department sent the money when they got to work today.

Zhuang Nan also saw the text message and smiled: "Ye Fei, if you get rich, who will give you 80,000 yuan?"

"School!" Ye Feidao said: "All four of my papers entered SCI Area 1. Doesn't the school have a reward? One article was worth 20,000 yuan, and they gave me 80,000 yuan."

The three of them lowered their heads silently. Damn it, it's really hard to prevent this.

Ye Fei is the top student, and we are the tuition fees.

Ye Fei came to school to make money, and we came to school to spend money.

But the thought of picking up the school's wool is very exciting!

After all, in the past, schools collected money from students, and few students collected money from schools.

But if you want to collect money from the school, it also depends on your strength. We can't do that.

Zhuang Nan chuckled and said, "Haha... Well, I haven't been to school for a long time. I have to say hello to my classmates."

Zhou Lin said: "I don't know how good the quality of the school girls this year is. I haven't gone to see it yet. Xu Tian, ​​let's come together!"

Xu Tian said: "Okay, let's go together!"

The three of them left the dormitory together and faced Ye Fei. They felt that they would be stabbed to death sooner or later.

Ye Fei glanced at the backs of the three people leaving and sighed. He should go to the library to study in the future. It seemed a bit of an eyesore in the dormitory.

Originally, he planned to go to the library to study after his roommate arrived, but he forgot that today was the time to enter school.

One month later, the library!

Ye Fei took a long breath and looked at the paper he just finished.

The paper has a total of fifty-four pages and more than 80,000 words.

After spending another week checking and revising the paper several times, Ye Fei posted the paper on Arxiv.

Soon, it attracted countless people to watch.

But then, many people thought Ye Fei was crazy for trying to prove singular cardinal numbers.

This is a strange cardinal number, a problem that has not been solved for 149 years.

Although Ye Fei has proven the basis of singular cardinal numbers and four solutions in the past three months, no one still believes that he can prove the singular cardinal numbers.

On Stack Exchange, many people ridiculed Ye Fei.

"I don't know if Ye Fei's behavior is naive or arrogant, but I still give him a thumbs up for his courage."

"Haha...a young boy actually went to prove the strange cardinal numbers. He thought he was Terence Tao!"

"That is, it only takes a hundred years for Terence Tao to appear. Not everyone is Terence Tao."

"He was dazzled by his past victories and thought he could also prove the singular cardinality."

"What if he actually proves successful?"

"Do you think it's possible? After 149 years of unsolved problems, Ye Fei proved successful? You know, he is only 22 years old, and he has not even graduated with a doctorate. He can succeed unless he is God."

"..."

Regardless of whether everyone thinks Ye Fei can prove success, many people still study Ye Fei's paper.

But most of them can't understand it. Those who can understand it know what it is, but they don't know what it is.

But those who knew it had not yet spoken.

Because they are still studying Ye Fei's thesis.

Papers are long and they take a long time to study.

Dormitory, eight o'clock in the evening!

Zhuang Nan and the other three sat at their desks, staring at Ye Fei who walked in.

Ye Fei felt uncomfortable being stared at by them. He touched his face and asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"

Zhuang Nan said: "Are you really proving the singular cardinality?"

He had just started self-study in the evening. He used his computer to browse Arxiv and saw a new paper published by Ye Fei. He found that it turned out to be a paper proving singular cardinal numbers.

He remembered that Ye Fei said at the beginning of school that he was writing a paper on proving singular cardinal numbers.

I thought it was a joke at the time, but I didn't expect it to be true.

"That's right!" Ye Fei entered the dormitory and put the schoolbag behind him on the desk.

"Cow!" Zhuang Nan and the others gave Ye Fei a thumbs up.

They praised Ye Fei's behavior. Normal people would not think about proving singular cardinal numbers.

After all, it was a 149-year-old unsolved problem.

Even many mathematicians will not try it because it is too difficult.

Of course, they did not think that Ye Fei could prove successful.

"Ye Fei!" Professor Lu appeared at the door of the dormitory.

"Mentor!" The four of them stood up quickly.

Professor Lu walked in, stared at Ye Fei and asked, "Did you write a paper proving singular cardinal numbers?"

"Yes." Ye Fei nodded.

"Will it succeed?"

Ye Fei thought for a moment and said: "50%!"

In fact, it is 100%, but I can’t say too much.

Don’t be afraid of 10,000, just be afraid of the unexpected. If you fail to pass the review and say it is too full, you will be slapped in the face when the time comes.

Professor Lu said: "That's also very good. Although singular bases are difficult, you can try it."

"It's okay to fail. Don't be discouraged even if you fail. What academia is least afraid of is failure. Many people learn from failure."

"Failure is the mother of success. If you fail this time, you will definitely succeed in the future."

Professor Lu came here to confirm the matter, to encourage Ye Fei, and to enlighten Ye Fei because he was afraid that he would be discouraged if he failed.

Ye Feidao: "Teacher, I know."

"Yes!" Professor Lu nodded: "I'm leaving."

After another few days of revising the paper, Ye Fei began to consider which journal to submit to.

This time, he will not vote for international mathematical analysis.

After all, this paper proves singular cardinal numbers, which exceeds all previous papers in terms of importance.

International Mathematical Analysis is only a journal with an impact factor of 13, so this time he plans to submit to the four top journals in mathematics.

The four top journals in mathematics are Annual Review of Mathematics, New Advances in Mathematics, Journal of Mathematics, and Journal of the Beili National Mathematical Society.

“Submit new advances in mathematics!”

Among the four top journals, the Annual Journal of Mathematics is the most difficult to review. It is published once a year and publishes no more than 60 papers each year. The review difficulty is higher than that of Nature and Science.

New Advances in Mathematics, published every two months, is the most prestigious of the four top journals.

Xia Guo's mathematician's papers were submitted to the four top journals, and most of them were submitted to new advances in mathematics.

But in the past 61 years, Xia Guo has only had about 30 papers that have passed the review.

The reason why annual mathematics journals are not considered is mainly because the publication cycle is long and is only published once a year, while New Advances in Mathematics has a short publication cycle and is published every two months.

Nowadays, it takes one to two months to submit an application for new advances in mathematics. After passing the review, it can be published in the next journal.

After deciding to submit his paper to New Advances in Mathematics, Ye Fei sent the paper to the email address of the review editor of New Advances in Mathematics.
