They’re all reborn, what’s wrong with being a little more almighty?

Chapter 192 Are you Frieza?

As a Nobel Prize winner, the famous father of quark, and already seventy-six years old, Professor Gell-Mann must be well-informed and not make a fuss about everything he encounters.

However, Zhang Wei today gave him a big shock.

Gell-Mann had not seen young scientists in their twenties before. Geniuses exist in any field, and the United States is a gathering place for talents from all over the world. There is no shortage of cases where people in their twenties have made top achievements.

Gellman has also seen many interdisciplinary scientists. The Santa Fe Institute is originally engaged in interdisciplinary research. Many scholars here are interested in multiple disciplines, and there are many who are proficient in two or three disciplines. .

But in his twenties, he was proficient in three subjects, and these three subjects were completely unrelated. This was a complete shock to Gell-Man's cognition.

Although biology and physics are related, this correlation is limited to many phenomena in biology and requires the theories and methods of physics to analyze. It cannot involve very advanced physics research, let alone have anything to do with nanophysics.

The research on graphene obviously belongs to the field of nanophysics. Crossing over from biology to this field means starting from scratch. This is equivalent to asking a university professor to change his major, start with an undergraduate degree, and then reach the level of a university professor.

Being able to achieve the world's top scientific research results in physics and biology at the same time was enough to surprise Gell-Mann, but he didn't expect that this was just the beginning!
The young man in front of me is actually a top scholar in cryptography!
Goldwasser's evaluation is that Zhang Wei's research results in the field of cryptography are enough to advance the entire cryptography for ten years. This is definitely an evaluation of top scholars.

When he first heard this sentence, Professor Gelman felt that Goldwasser was deliberately flattering Zhang Wei.

Therefore, in Professor Shi's understanding, Zhang Wei only published a paper in the world's top computer journal. Professor Shi did not have a clear understanding of the importance of this paper.

Professor Shi from Princeton University and Professor Goldwasser from the University of California, Berkeley, both are academic authorities. How could they be a fraud group? What kind of fraud group would it take to hire a lineup of this level?
"Is it because the TV station is filming a prank show? So they specifically found someone to tease me?"

He knew about Zhang Wei's creation of graphene. When he saw the paper on nucleoside modification before, he asked Tsinghua University about Zhang Wei.

After all, the gap between biology and computer science is so huge that they are completely unrelated subjects.

A young man in his twenties has made world-leading achievements in three unrelated fields. This completely broke Professor Gelman's understanding of science. He even began to wonder whether science is No longer exists!
Professor Gelman even felt that he had encountered a fraud gang?

When he learned that Zhang Wei was the person who made graphene, he was also shocked. If Principal Gu hadn't confirmed it himself, he wouldn't have believed it.

From this point of view, Goldwasser's evaluation of Zhang Wei is true.

Even if you really want to compliment you, you can praise how handsome you are, how great your figure is, how thick and long you are, there is no need to praise people on an academic level!

But the next second, he immediately rejected this idea. This is the Santa Fe Research Institute, and it is his own territory! How could there be an outsider’s hidden camera! Do you think this is a spy drama?

At this moment, Gell-Mann seemed to be struck by lightning and was speechless for a moment. His heart was beating violently, like an out-of-control wild horse, racing through his chest. His thoughts became even more confused, trying to understand this unexpected situation.

Professor Shi next to him looked triumphant, as if to say, look at my little junior brother, how awesome is he?

But when I think about it carefully, I think it's impossible. Goldwasser is a professor in the Department of Computer Science at Berkeley, and he is also a long-established top scholar in the academic world. A scholar of this level cannot afford to sacrifice his face to praise a young man.

Professor Gelman looked at Zhang Wei's expression, as if he was seeing a monster, with a gloomy look on his face. At this time, he only felt that he had suffered a severe dimensionality reduction blow.

Professor Gelman also fell into a deep shock.

"How is it possible! Such a young person can actually be proficient in three completely different subjects! This is unreasonable! This is unscientific! This goes against the reality!"

Professor Gelman instinctively looked around to see if there were any hidden cameras.

As for the zero-knowledge proof paper, President Gu also mentioned it at the time, but Professor Shi was not a computer major after all, so he didn’t pay much attention to it.

Gelman subconsciously pinched the flesh of his hand with his nails. He could feel the pain, which meant that this was not a dream.

Although those who study science and engineering must know some computer skills, and some people's computer skills are not inferior to those of professionals.

But when it comes to cryptography, it's different. Cryptography is not just ordinary programming and coding, but the most profound theoretical knowledge in computer science, which has nothing to do with physics or biology.

Now that he heard Goldwasser's evaluation, Professor Shi realized how important Zhang Wei's paper was. Being able to advance a sub-discipline for ten years is a world-class level in any field.

Goldwasser next to her didn't know what was going on. She asked with concern: "Professor, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell? Do you want to take a rest first?"

"I'm fine, I just didn't expect that there would be such a genius in the world!" Professor Gelman took a deep breath, his expression recovered, but his heart couldn't calm down for a long time.

"Genius? That's true. Zhang is very talented in the field of cryptography!" Goldwasser nodded.

"Not just cryptography, but also physics and biology." Professor Gelman said.

Goldwasser didn't know Zhang Wei's glorious deeds, and she was a little confused.

Professor Gelman asked curiously: "Mr. Zhang, it seems that in addition to studying physics and biology, you also study cryptography! How did you do it? How do you allocate your time and energy to complete research in three different disciplines?”

"A person's energy is limited, and of course I cannot study multiple subjects at the same time. As I said just now, in the first half of last year, I studied physics, and in the second half of the year, I studied biology.

There was a summer vacation between the first and second half of the year. During the summer vacation, I had nothing to do, so I studied cryptography. "Zhang Wei replied with a smile.

Zhang Wei's explanation immediately left Professor Gelman speechless. He should be considered a master of time management in the field of scientific research, right?
At this time, a new guest arrived, and Professor Gelman could not bear to be shocked anymore. He said, "Professor Shi, please go inside to enjoy some afternoon tea. Today's cheesecake tastes very good. I suggest you try it." One taste.”

……

The guests arrived one after another.

Zhang Wei tasted the cheese cake and suddenly felt that the old man Gelman was an honest man and the cake tasted really good.

At this time, the emcee took the microphone and walked onto the stage, announcing the official start of the 20th anniversary celebration ceremony of the Santa Fe Institute.

The ceremony was very simple. It started with a speech by the leader, and then played a short video introducing the achievements of the Santa Fe Institute in the past twenty years. Then the guests took the stage to speak, followed by a commendation session, and finally announced the future of the Santa Fe Institute. project plans, and on-site scientists are welcome to participate.

Afterwards, there will be interactive communication time among scholars, and there will also be a dinner in the evening. Zhang Wei was just here to join in the fun, and since the scholars around him were all Americans, he didn't know them at all, and there was no way to interact with them, so he simply continued to indulge in cheesecake and try to fill his stomach first.

As for the dinner, Zhang Wei didn't have high hopes. Formal banquet meals of Western food include appetizers, main courses, soups, and desserts. They look fancy, but are actually few and unpalatable. If you have a big appetite, after a Western meal, you will have to eat two steamed buns with Lao Ganma when you get home.

Others ignored Zhang Wei. When they saw a twenty-year-old young man, they thought he was a student of some guest, and they brought him here to see the world. No scholar would chat with a student in his spare time.

After a while, a young man who looked like an assistant came over and asked, "Are you Mr. Zhang Wei?"

"Yes, I'm Zhang Wei, do you have anything to do with me?" Zhang Wei nodded.

"I am Professor Gelman's assistant. Professor Gelman invites you to gather in the VIP room."

"There is also a VIP room. It seems that the guests are also divided into three, six or nine grades." Thinking of this, Zhang Wei said: "Okay, please lead the way."

I followed the assistant to the VIP room, where besides Professor Gelman, there were five other people. Three of them looked younger, about forty or fifty years old, and the other two were old men, about seventy years old.

"Mr. Zhang, welcome to your arrival. I have an old friend who heard about your deeds and wanted to meet you, so I invited you over. Do you mind?" Professor Gelman said.

"I don't mind. It's an honor for me to get to know a few more seniors." Zhang Wei replied.

"Professor Gell-Mann, who is this young man? He looks Chinese, right? Japanese people don't have such heights!" Another voice sounded, and the speaker was a bearded man, one of the three young men. .

"This is Mr. Zhang, a scholar from China whom I just met today. Even though he is young, he is a genius scientist!"

Professor Gelman then introduced Zhang Wei: "Mr. Zhang, this is President Barlow of the Electronic Frontier Foundation. He is the sponsor of our Santa Fe Institute."

"It turns out that the people in the VIP room are all sponsors. The sponsor's dad enjoys VIP treatment, and there's nothing wrong with that.

Speaking of which, isn't the Electronic Frontier Foundation the same organization that awarded the Mersenne prime number discoverer the prize?
The surname Barlow is so familiar. Come to think of it, we also exchanged emails, and it was he who told me that the Electronic Frontier Foundation was temporarily out of money!

Why does it feel like the United States is so small? The previous reporter, Goldwasser, and President Barlow would meet three acquaintances whenever they came to a celebration! "

Thinking of this, Zhang Wei took the initiative to say hello: "President Barlow, my name is Zhang Wei. Last year, we communicated by email. Do you still remember?"

Upon hearing the name Zhang Wei, President Barlow's expression suddenly changed.

This name is a nightmare for President Barlow. He recalled the difficult time last year when a Chinese named Zhang Wei came up with five Mersenne primes in a row and directly transferred the Electronic Frontier Foundation to The account balance is so bald!
In desperation, President Barlow could only order his men to break through the network firewalls of several companies, and then help them upgrade their security systems and charge a service fee to make up for the shortfall.

A year has passed since this incident, and President Barlow gradually began to forget about it. However, at this moment, when he heard the name again, the long-lasting shadow in his heart struck again, just like that. That moment.

That's right, the name Zhang Wei has already caused a psychological shadow on President Barlow!
"You are Zhang Wei from Tsinghua University!" President Barlow's eyes widened, with disbelief and horror in his eyes.

"That's right, it's me. We used to communicate by email, but now we finally meet. Nice to see you!" Zhang Wei greeted with a smile.

"It's better not to see each other. In front of you, I am a big wretch. Which big wretch have you ever seen happy?"

Barlow thought to himself, trying to force a smile on his face, but the smile seemed to be forced out, with a bit of embarrassment and unnaturalness, instead revealing a bit of embarrassment and helplessness.

This expression clearly tells everyone that although I am embarrassed, I can only act as a gentleman to talk to you.

When several other people around him saw President Barlow's appearance, they immediately understood that there was a story between the two people.

If you don't eat the melon, you are a bastard!
Professor Gelman felt that he couldn't be an old bastard, so he took the lead and asked: "You actually know each other? How did you know each other?"

"We had some business dealings before, and it was about Mersenne prime numbers." Zhang Wei said.

As soon as Zhang Wei started speaking, President Barlow immediately realized that it would be better to explain this topic himself. If Zhang Wei were to continue talking, it would be very embarrassing if he said that he had no money to pay the Mersenne prime number bonus!

So President Barlow quickly took over the conversation: "Anyone who pays attention to the field of mathematics must know that last year, a mathematician discovered five Mersenne primes in a row in just one month. That mathematician is this Mr. Zhang Wei!”

"Mathematician? Why are you a mathematician again?" Professor Gell-Mann stared at Zhang Wei, his lips trembled slightly, and wanted to say something, but found that he suddenly lost his voice.

Two transformations are not enough. There is a third transformation. Are you Frieza?
But I'm not a Super Saiyan! I'm just a bad old man with a cardiovascular stent!

The next second, Gelman felt his heartbeat suddenly speeding up, and it seemed that the three stents were not enough.

"Fortunately, I bought the most expensive medical insurance. Even if I go to the Mayo Clinic, the insurance will pay for it!" Professor Gelman took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

After calming down, Professor Gelman suddenly regained consciousness. At this moment, he suddenly felt that Zhang Wei was a mathematician, which seemed acceptable.

Those who study physics must have a certain foundation in advanced mathematics. It is normal for the mathematics level to be higher.

It is natural for those who study cryptography to have a high level of mathematics!

From this point of view, Zhang Wei is a mathematician, which makes sense!

This time it is finally not an unrelated major, but a related major!

Finally no longer hit by dimensionality reduction!

Thinking of this, Professor Gelman suddenly felt a sense of joy as a winner.

But then, Professor Gelman became frustrated again.

I am a Nobel Prize winner, known as the father of quarks, and the top scientist in the world! Who in the scientific community should not call me "Shengye" when they see me? I feel happy because I have not been hit by dimensionality reduction!
Have I, Murray Gelman, fallen to this point?
