Rebirth 07: Start adding points from elementary school students

Chapter 460 Yu Family
These words have been forced out. It seems that Professor Yu's faith in Taoism has been slightly lost.

Cai Zhendong couldn't bear to see it.

"Old Yu," Cai Zhendong pulled him aside, "I've experienced the same thing as you..."

What I never expected was that Professor Yu turned around and asked:
"Is it that serious? Principal Cai, if you give this to a teacher in your school, it would be enough to give him a promotion. It is at least an impressive research result. Why did you give it to him?"

Cai Zhendong didn't really understand what Professor Yu meant at first.

“This result is very impressive, but what does ‘give’ mean?”

"If it's not giving, then is it borrowing?" Professor Yu smiled.

Cai Zhendong came to his senses, glanced around at the staff who were secretly watching them, coughed and said:

"Li Yan gave us a surprise, or borrowed it, I can't say."

Professor Yu waved his hand and started to make a phone call: "Hello? Lao Pan, come to the review room. There is something important here. I am not sure about it. You have to come."

Professor Pan is in his fifties, but he always jogged when he entered the room.

"Hey, Lao Cai, you're here too."

Cai Zhendong smiled and indicated that Professor Yu, who was frowning in front of the computer, was the focus.

"What's so great?"

Professor Yu didn't say anything and handed the computer screen to him.

"Based on the optimal solution of the wall-chasing game... Wow," Professor Pan's eyes widened, and he pulled a chair over and sat down. "Who published a paper again?"

"Li Yan." Cai Zhendong said.

"This is...oh? The young man who made the cell phone?"

He is not just a "young man", Cai Zhendong nodded with a smile.

"Then we have to take a closer look." Professor Pan put on his glasses.

The entire office remained inexplicably quiet.

Difficult math problems are not only difficult to solve, but also difficult to verify whether they are correct.

Professor Yu is an expert in the field of materials science and a well-known all-rounder in science. He can only make a preliminary judgment on whether Li Yan’s “optimal solution” is reliable. To seriously judge the quality of the paper, scholars in the field of mathematics are needed.

"Tsk..." Professor Pan made a sound after only watching for five minutes.

"What do you mean?" Professor Yu asked impatiently.

"What do you think?" Unexpectedly, Lao Pan asked back.

"I don't see anything wrong with that."

"Me too."

Professor Yu’s expression is quite interesting.

"The field of differential games is quite complicated. I'm not an expert, but I've dabbled in it. I think we should ask Lao Chen to come over."

As soon as I finished speaking, Professor Yu made a call.

Cai Zhendong also joked to Lao Pan, "He is showing off his connections to me."

As their research became more and more in-depth, more and more people were invited to come.

Six big guys were crammed into a small workstation, making the staff responsible for receiving and organizing the competition manuscripts very nervous.

There is a small game on his computer desktop that he uses to slack off at work. If this is seen by a few scholars, he will be doomed on the spot.

But he was worrying too much, as all the professors' attention was focused only on Li Yan's thesis.

"Well, Dr. Lin, you study differential games." Professor Yu straightened up, took off his glasses, and asked while rubbing his eyes.

"The viscosity solution was proposed in the 1980s. It is a very good idea. So far, there is no problem." Dr. Lin is relatively young and was still very reserved in front of several senior professors.

"No problem?" Professor Yu repeated.

"According to the arguments in this paper, it is indeed possible to conclude that 'when each participant tries to minimize its loss rate, there will always be a clear game strategy for actions on the singular surface'," said Dr. Lin.

"In other words, there is always an optimal strategy for the wall-chasing game?" Professor Pan asked.

"That's right." Dr. Lin nodded. "This Li Yan... is really amazing. This is a problem that has troubled scholars for fifty years. This achievement is very important internationally. Wait, he has a practical application scenario?"

Only then did Dr. Lin notice the word "autonomous driving" in the title of the paper.

Another old professor named Ye laughed out loud, "Xiao Lin is confused. Li Yan is so willful. She put such a powerful argument in the appendix. If you don't know, you might think it was quoted from someone else's work."

"Mr. Cai, isn't this the No. 1 student in your Huada Excellence Class?"

“The same guy who made cell phones.”

"Oh? The same person?"

"You need to read the newspaper more often, Old Ye."

Several people were chatting and laughing, but only Professor Yu had a grim look on his face.

Two younger staff members whispered to each other, "By the way... don't the professors have computers? Why do they have to come over here to look?"

"For the sake of communication. I don't understand the world of the big guys."

The bigwigs said that they didn’t quite understand Li Yan’s world.

Except for Professor Yu, several other people surrounded Cai Zhendong for a while, expressing their strong curiosity about Li Yan.

Cai Zhendong was so happy that he kept telling the story of how he went to the reasoning competition award ceremony for Li Yan and successfully got closer to this genius.

In the final analysis, it is to highlight the concept of "having a keen eye for talent".

Professor Yu came over only after everyone had left.

"Old Yu, are you convinced?"

"How can I not be convinced?" Professor Yu shook his head. "You are willing to give away this thing, what else can I say?"

Cai Zhendong's expression finally changed. "Now that there's no one around, I'll be more straightforward. What do you mean, Lao Yu?"

He realized now that the butcher Professor Yu was referring to when he said “Why use a butcher knife to kill a chicken?” was not Li Yan.

This old Yu is slandering Huazhong University of Science and Technology.

"What do you mean? You know better than me."

"Heh," Cai Zhendong smiled, "Do you think it was us at Huadu who gave Li Yan the resources, and even used our research results on him?"

"What else? Add Linjiang Province and New Taipei City." Professor Yu took off his glasses. "How much can a 16-year-old underage student learn? How much knowledge can he have? There are some things we know very well, so why are you playing dumb?"

"I'm playing dumb? Lao Yu, you guys play that game yourself, don't think everyone is the same as you."

"Cai Zhendong, you from Huada University are so ashamed to say that to me?"

"I don't care who you talk about, but Li Yan is different. We've seen many things like creating gods, but we can't create billionaires." Cai Zhendong said, "How can we help him when even our own research institute can't solve the problem?"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!" Professor Yu shouted, "Is he really that good? Is he worthy enough to participate in this competition?"

“To be honest, even we were surprised to participate in this competition.”

Professor Yu showed some annoyance. "Why are you so surprised? He is in your Excellence Class now. Doesn't he need your consent to participate in the competition?"

Cai Zhendong shook his head. "Don't think of him as our student. We don't even dare to think so. We are trying to coax him into keeping this identity."

"Then tell me, why did he participate in this competition?!"

"Old Yu." Cai Zhendong said slowly, "Do you think he wants to compete with Keyou?"

"What else? I can't think of a second possible outcome." Cai Zhendong hesitated to speak.

"Yutian, I won't say more. The results are there, and we all have a scale in our hearts."

"What's the matter? Are you worried that I will fight like a trapped beast?"

Cai Zhendong didn't say anything else.

What is before my eyes is just a father's unwillingness.

Yu Tian is not very talented, but he was born into a scientific research family and has been trained as a genius since childhood.

In fact, with this kind of resource imbalance and ultra-high-pressure family education, as long as you can withstand it mentally, you can become a genius even if you are not one.

Coincidentally, Yu Tian is a hard-working person.

Since I am not the best in one aspect, I try my best to win by quantity and become a rare all-rounder in science in the scientific research circle.

When it was time for him to get married, he basically obeyed his family's arrangements and married the daughter of another academic giant.

The main focus is on resource aggregation.

He is a well-known workaholic in the entire academic circle in Beijing. He stays up late at all times and has a head full of gray hair.

Cai Zhendong knew that this was the price he had to pay to maintain the halo of “all-round genius”.

Because as the circles he comes into contact with become more and more advanced, the length of his strengths becomes the key to determining his status, and "all-rounder" is just a fig leaf.

Everyone knows that it is a fig leaf, even Yu Tian himself knows it.

But you can't lose it because it's a fig leaf. If you lose it, you'll be too embarrassed to see anyone.

To outsiders, Yu Tian is very successful.

He is the kind of person who was successful since birth. Now he is also a famous "all-rounder in science". He married a wife who is also an academic master. How smart must his children be!

In the imagination of many people, Yu Tian would go home and discuss with his wife some academic issues that ordinary people could not understand at his desk. One day in the future he would come up with amazing results and go down in history in a low-key manner.

In fact, in the eyes of people in the scientific research circle, Yu Tian is not successful.

In Yu Tian's own eyes, he was a failure.

Because his talent is really limited, he is not an expert in any of the academic circles and is not even a compliment.

Therefore, his status in the Yu family is not high.

Therefore, he would work hard to cultivate his son Yu Keyu, almost to the point of madness.

I don’t know whether it is good or bad, but Yu Keyu is indeed very talented, and the potential he showed when he was a child was far better than Yu Tian.

So when Yu Tian wanted the family to provide resources, the elders basically agreed.

Anyway, Yu Keyou is considered the strongest among the younger generation. If one wants to maintain the Yu family's position in the academic world, it will not work without outstanding younger generations.

So over the years, Yu Keyu has almost been replicating his father's growth path.

Since childhood, he has received learning resources far beyond that of ordinary people, and at the same time has been under exaggerated learning pressure.

Being first in the grade is just the bottom line for him, he always needs to be ahead of others.

If you are half a step ahead today, you must be one step ahead tomorrow.

While other children were still playing in the mud, all he could touch were physics experiments.

After you’re done “playing”, you still have to analyze the principle yourself. If you can’t explain it, you’ll fall straight from heaven to hell.

Of course, Yu Keyu is not pitiful.

He enjoyed an exaggerated amount of learning resources, which did not mean more sets of questions to do or more teachers to teach him, but a lot of more "grades" that did not belong to him.

He has written many papers in which he was the co-author but in fact he only participated in the study of the final results. He has also won many prestigious gold medals in scientific and technological innovation competitions because he is the most ruthless one among all the Tongtiandai.

Fortunately, he is worthy of training. At least he won the first prize in the junior high school group of the Youth Information Olympics through his own efforts.

The pride of the father and son suffered a heavy blow after Li Yan's rise.

A child whose parents had never even attended college became the number one student in the Huadu Excellence Class.

Yu Keyu was number two and was suppressed.

Later, Li Yan became more and more outrageous, and he carried the title of "all-round genius" that Yu Tian tried his best to protect.

It is indeed hard to accept...

Yu Tian simply couldn't understand it. He had grown up in an environment with a high concentration of knowledge and had been surrounded by academic resources since birth. With the help and burden of his family, and without pursuing deep cultivation in a particular field, it was so difficult for him to remain a "jack of all trades"...

How the hell is there someone who knows everything!

Even fucking literature, sports and art!
Now this person is even suppressing the child that his family has fully nurtured. How can anyone accept this?
"Old Cai, do you know the topic of Keyou?"

Cai Zhendong shook his head.

"You do not know?"

"really do not know."

Yu Tian sighed deeply, licked his lips for a long time, and then said, "Bionics robotic arm."

Cai Zhendong did not comment.

"Taking advantage." Yu Tian smiled. "It's still taking advantage. Whether it's bionic or not depends on whether the model is sophisticated enough. How can a student alone make this robotic arm? As for the programming content, there is really nothing special about it."

"Old Yu, if you can see clearly, I will tell you the truth."

Yu Tian sat on the steps outside, leaning against the door frame, "Go ahead, Old Cai, haven't you said enough unpleasant things?"

"Huada has never considered Li Yan and Ke You to be rivals." Cai Zhendong spread his hands, "Old Yu, accept it. We should admire this person and watch him to see what miracles he can create, instead of comparing him to others."

"If we accept that Li Yan's existence is reasonable, then wouldn't my efforts for half my life become a joke?"

Yu Tian said something that sounded very emotional in a calm tone.

The game hasn't officially started yet, but the winner has been decided.

Yu Keyu's bionic robotic arm has a slight advantage over other contestants, but there is a huge gap compared to Li Yan's autonomous driving path selection algorithm.

Li Yan doesn't even need to present anything.

Others engage in scientific and technological innovation, study some experimental data, and make a beautiful model, and that’s enough. But you directly solved a mathematical problem that has been unsolved for fifty years. What else is there to compare with?
Of course, Li Yan didn’t know all this. He was already struggling with whether or not to attend the competition on the day.

"The purpose of signing up for the competition has actually been achieved." Li Yan scratched his head at Chen Fan, "Alas, this trip is quite time-consuming."

"What is...your purpose?" Chen Fan asked.

“Push yourself to do something else.”

"...You mean the problem of finding the optimal solution to the wall-chasing game?"

"You can say that now."

Chen Fan smiled and nodded, indicating that he was numb.

"Chen Fan, why don't you go and report? I'll let you experience the pleasure of pretending to be awesome."

"I know nothing!" Chen Fan shook his head repeatedly, "You mean... this kind of occasion can no longer allow you to have the experience of pretending to be cool, right?"

"Correct."

After being stimulated so many times, he got used to it and felt a kind of inexplicable pleasure. Chen Fan actually felt refreshed because of Li Yan's straightforward pretense.

In fact, it is unnecessary for Li Yan to consider this issue, because he obviously underestimated the influence of his paper.
