The top student must be diligent.

Chapter 119: The Shock of the World Bank's Chief Information Officer
The World Bank is also a bank, but because it is affiliated with the United Nations, it appears to be more fair in name. Therefore, in certain matters related to the interests of all banks or financial institutions in the world, it will sometimes step forward and take the lead in cooperation.

For example, this information technology research project focuses on cross-blockchain transaction protocols.

For each research team participating in this project, their results will be submitted to the Information and Technology Solutions Department of the World Bank on a priority basis.

The name of this department easily reveals its function, which is to provide information technology support to the World Bank.

Therefore, the results of this project will be reviewed by this department.

As for the leader of this department, it is the Chief Information Officer of the World Bank.

……

In the office of the Chief Information Officer of the World Bank, Brian Winston was looking at a stack of A4 papers in his hand. Printed on this stack of A4 papers was a paper titled "A New Polynomial Expansion Approaches the Critical Line Theorem of the Riemann Hypothesis to 50%".

It was exactly Xiao Yi’s paper!
The chief information officer kept praising the paper while reading it: "It's so beautiful, it's so beautiful..."

"This polynomial expansion method is so wonderful..."

"That's great!"

Winston's technical ability is certainly needless to say as he is able to become the Chief Information Officer of the World Bank.

And even though he is over 50 years old and worth hundreds of millions, he still maintains the motivation to learn.

Not only does he keep learning computer technology, he also maintains his interest in new mathematical achievements. After all, there is a saying that goes, computers are life, and mathematics are dreams!
So he is now looking at this paper which has recently caused a stir in the mathematics community.

What's more, Xiao's polynomial expansion is not impossible to use on computers. It may even play some surprising roles on computers.

For example...

There was a knock on the office door suddenly.

His assistant came in.

"Mr. Winston, regarding the cross-chain transaction protocol project, a research team has submitted their proposal to us. Do you want to take a look?"

Winston was startled when he heard his assistant's words. He put down the paper in his hand and frowned, "I remember that the cross-chain transaction protocol project was officially announced just a month ago. How come someone has completed it now?"

He knew very well how troublesome this project was. Logically speaking, it was impossible for any team to complete it so quickly.

He said, "Did you fail to notice that we have temporarily added requirements to deal with attacks on sieves?"

This requirement was added after the Princeton conference ended and the proof of the twin prime conjecture was confirmed. Some groups may not have noticed this notice.

Hearing the CIO's question, the assistant looked a little strange, then shook his head and replied, "That's not the case."

"According to their paper abstract, all the required solutions should be included, but the famous members of their group are quite special."

Hearing this, Winston burst out laughing: "How special can it be? Could he be a Turing Award winner?"

He has seen too many Turing Award winners, so what's so special about him?

"That's not the case. He is only seventeen years old this year." The assistant shook his head: "It's just that his name is Xiao Yi."

"Seventeen years old, that's really special, the name..."

Winston suddenly realized what was happening and glared, "What did you say his name was? Xiao Yi?"

He picked up the paper he had just read, pointed at it and said, "Is this Xiao Yi?"

"Yes." The assistant nodded. It was he who printed out the paper and gave it to Winston, so of course he knew who the author of the paper was.

"The laboratory has already started simulating based on the program they packaged over. Do you want to go and take a look?"

"Walk."

Without any nonsense, Winston stood up and walked towards the office door, and his assistant quickly followed.

Just like that, the two men left the office and went straight to their laboratory.

Looking at the technicians busy inside, Winston asked, "How's the simulation going?"

"Mr. Winston!"

When the laboratory director saw Winston, he immediately stepped forward to report: "We have just prepared the simulation environment, and it will be operational in about five minutes."

"Okay, I'll wait here."

Winston nodded.

Five minutes passed quickly.

“Simulation starts! First simulate an attack on the USDC pool!”

As the Enter key is pressed, the simulation program starts running.

Time passed by minute by minute.

"1 attacks, 0 leaks!"

"10 million..."

"100 million..."

"1000 attacks, 0 leaks!"

"Unbelievable!"

The technicians in the laboratory all showed incredible expressions.

Winston's eyes also began to flicker.

This agreement is really a bit surprising.
As time went by, when the number of attacks reached 1 million and there was still no leakage, Winston stopped reading and turned away, saying to his assistant: "Send me the paper, I want to read it carefully and find out the principle of their protocol."

He had a vague feeling that the methods used here might bring great inspiration to the entire computer industry!

"Yes." The assistant nodded, then walked to a computer nearby and started operating it.

When Winston returned to his office, he received a new email in his mailbox, which was the paper. He opened the paper and took a look at the author.

"It turned out to be Professor Kleinrock's group, Terence Tao, James Maynard... Xiao Yi."

"Kleinlock was lucky to be able to invite these three mathematicians."

Winston felt emotional.

Then he stopped talking nonsense and started reading the main text.

Time passed quickly.

Winston's expression gradually became no longer calm, but full of disbelief.

"Xiao's polynomial expansion can indeed be used on computers!"

“The design of this protocol…”

Winston uttered the same exclamation as Kleinlock did at the beginning.

“A work of genius!”

"No wonder! No wonder it has been able to maintain zero leakage despite so many attacks."

“Unless there is a serious loophole in the system, what other situations can cause cross-chain transactions to be risky?”

In amazement, Winston finished reading the design part of the protocol, and then he continued to read below.

The second part is about how to deal with classification screening attacks.

However, when reading this part, Winston could not keep marveling at it like he did before, because this part of the content was also difficult for him to understand.

This involves the fundamental principles of Shaw's polynomial expansion, and Winston also has big problems understanding this part.

Fortunately, his mathematical ability is much better than Professor Kleinlock's.

Therefore, he finally managed to understand this part with some difficulty.

At this time, he also understood one thing: "So... it was during this process that Xiao Yi came up with the Xiao polynomial expansion method, right?"

For a moment, he even felt a sense of honor.

Such a heavyweight method in the mathematics world was actually created by Xiao Yi in order to solve cryptography problems in computers.

Unexpectedly, their cryptographic problems could also become a breeding ground for mathematical methods.

Well……

Although it is ultimately related to Xiao Yi's parity check sorting sieve, it is not a big problem. After all, only cryptography will discuss how to constrain the sorting sieve!
"This is a true math genius!"

Winston's eyes showed longing.

He himself does not have the ability to become a mathematician, so when I see such a mathematical genius, I always feel envious.

Read on.

The rest of the content is the solution to the other parts of this protocol.

Winston could tell at a glance that these solutions were not researched by Xiao Yi, although some of the mathematical methods still made him shine, especially the ones that Terence Tao was responsible for.

However, he could also feel that these contents lacked the kind of...

Spirituality?
I guess you can say that.

Finally, he picked up the paper that had been placed on the table, which was "A new polynomial expansion approaches the critical line theorem of the Riemann hypothesis to 50%."

He opened one of the pages, then took it to the computer screen and compared it with the first two solutions that Xiao Yi was responsible for.

"Yes, it's the same kind of spirituality!"

Winston nodded. He remembered the evaluation of Xiao Yi by the top mathematicians in the mathematics world: a unique way of thinking.

Now he also sees this from these two options.
There was another knock on the office door, and the assistant came in again and said, "Mr. Winston, the final result of the simulation is out."

He then placed a brief report in front of Winston.

Winston picked it up and took a look. Needless to say, this protocol passed the test perfectly in every aspect.

Almost, flawless!
"very good."

Winston nodded and said with a smile, "In this way, those banks and companies will surely be satisfied."

"Such a perfect deal, and they only paid $1000 million, which is really a good deal."

Winston shook his head, then said, "I think I can prepare to call a meeting to inform them of this."

“It is unlikely that any other research group will be able to come up with a better protocol than this one.”

"Well...anyway, it has already reached perfection. It is indeed impossible for other research groups to surpass this result."

The assistant nodded and said in approval: "You are right."

"Hmm..." Winston suddenly asked, "By the way, is there any news about Xiao Yi recently?"

The assistant was stunned for a moment, then took out his tablet to check, and said in surprise: "There really is one. The organizing committee of the Joint Mathematics Conference has issued an announcement. They have temporarily added a speech for the upcoming Joint Mathematics Conference. The speaker is Xiao Yi. He will talk about the Xiao family in this speech."

Winston's eyes lit up, and he said, "Put this in the schedule. I want to go to his speech."

The assistant was stunned.

Using computers to attend meetings of pure mathematicians?
However, since the boss had asked him to do so, he had nothing to say and nodded immediately, "Yes, Mr. Winston."
