The unparalleled talent of the country started from Harbin Institute of Technology

Chapter 244, Resignation (asking for monthly ticket)
January 21, 1984, Wang Duoyu’s home in the teachers’ villa area of ​​Harbin Institute of Technology.

Wiles remained silent and did not speak.

He was thinking about what Wang Duoyu said. Is it really impossible for him to prove the Riemann hypothesis?

As Wang Duoyu said, he is indeed very talented in the field of number theory. At the age of 31, he is already an assistant professor at Harvard University. If he had not come to Harbin Institute of Technology, he would have been a researcher at the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton.

Therefore, despite his great talent, he always set his goal to become a top mathematician, such as Newton, Bertrand Russell and others in his country.

Although he admitted that Wang Duoyu was very awesome, Wang Duoyu was definitely not as good as Bertrand Russell and others, let alone Newton.

Newton is the founder of calculus, proposed the famous binomial theorem, as well as infinite series and analytical methods, used coordinate geometry to solve certain types of Diophantine equations, and developed polynomial theory, etc.

He is definitely a very awesome person.

Wang Duoyu is definitely not as good as Newton, and Wiles is very clear about this.

But the other party is giving him advice now, so should he listen to it?
The Riemann hypothesis is notoriously difficult, and Andrew Wiles was well aware of this.

In fact, if Wang Duoyu had not proved Fermat's conjecture, Wiles believed that he would definitely be able to prove this problem, but unfortunately he was beaten to it by the former.

Ugh!
If you think about it carefully, he has devoted several years of time and energy to the Riemann hypothesis. Maybe it is time to give up on it?

But after thinking carefully and silently for a few minutes, he finally made up his mind.

At this time in the living room, Liu Xiaoli and others ate much more slowly. They were still a little worried that the noise of their eating would disturb Wang Duoyu and Wiles.

However, this little guy Wang Junhong still eats the same way he usually does and has no idea what quietness is.

"No, Professor Wang, I've decided to continue working on the Riemann hypothesis."

After a pause, Wiles continued:

"However, I am still very grateful for your advice. Although I don't know what your advice is, I guess it must be related to abandoning the Riemann hypothesis?"

Wang Duoyu said helplessly:

"Wiles, I really hope you won't waste your talent. The Riemann hypothesis is really too difficult."

"Forget it, come to my office this afternoon and we'll talk in detail. I'll tell you my opinion and some of my research results."

Upon hearing this, Wiles' pupils dilated and his facial expression became out of control.

To be honest, he knew that Wang Duoyu was very good at number theory, but he didn't expect that Wang Duoyu had also studied the Riemann hypothesis.

I just don't know how in-depth the other party's research is.

To be precise, in the past two or three years, he has communicated with Wang Duoyu many times, and even discussed the Riemann hypothesis more than once.

But Wiles knew very well that Wang Duoyu was not optimistic about the Riemann hypothesis, simply because the problem was really too difficult.

The conjecture was proposed in 1859 by mathematician Bernhard Riemann, who observed that the frequency of prime numbers is closely related to the ecology of a carefully constructed function called the Riemann zeta function ζ(s).

The points on the complex plane where the Riemann zeta function takes the value of zero are called zeros of the Riemann zeta function.

s=-2n (n is a positive integer) is the zero point of the Riemann zeta function. These zero points are distributed in an orderly manner and have simple properties. They are called the trivial zero points of the Riemann zeta function.

In addition to these trivial zeros, the Riemann zeta function has many other zeros whose properties are far more complex than those of trivial zeros and are called non-trivial zeros.

The Riemann hypothesis states that all meaningful solutions to the equation ζ(s) = 0 lie on a straight line.

For most mathematical researchers, it is indeed simple to understand this problem, but its function can cause countless mathematicians to fail.

And Wang Duoyu is one of them.

When Wang Duoyu was deducing and proving the Riemann hypothesis in his previous life, he said: The Riemann hypothesis, from birth to death, it is impossible to prove it.

Because the Riemann hypothesis is known as the crown of the conjecture world, what it involves, in addition to pure mathematical problems, are also some fundamental issues in philosophy and science: for example, whether there is some kind of deep order in the universe, or whether there is some unknown "mathematical God" behind everything.

It can be said that the Riemann hypothesis is a mathematical mystery of the universe that is both irresistible and impossible to let go.

Up to now, there are four people who have made research results on the Riemann hypothesis.

Three mathematicians in the Netherlands used computers to verify Riemann's hypothesis. They tested the zero points of the initial 200 million univariate functions and proved that Riemann's hypothesis was correct, but they are still using computers to test some of the zero points below.

In 0, before his death from cancer, Levinson of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology proved that N0.3474(T) ≥ 0.35 N(T); in , Chinese mathematicians Lou Shituo and Yao Qi made some improvements to Levinson's work and proved that No(T) ＞ N(T).

In addition, in 1982, the Polar Bear Empire mathematician Matyeshevich published a paper in their "Soviet Magazine": He used a computer to test a mathematical problem related to the Riemann hypothesis and proved that the problem was correct, which in turn supported the fact that Riemann's hypothesis was likely correct.

Wang Duoyu had already known all the above inferences, and he disdained to do such small things.

Because it's useless.

In his previous life, he used the quantum supercomputer of Peking University to conduct demonstration and deduction, and proved that No(T)>0.87N(T), but what was the use?

It still doesn't work.

It seems that only the finishing touch is left, but in fact there is still a long way to go.

It's okay to deceive yourself, but if you really believe it, it will be a laughing stock.

Since they had to go back to the office to discuss work after lunch, neither Wang Duoyu nor Wiles continued drinking.

This wine is indeed delicious and mouth-watering.

But both Wang Duoyu and I are very self-disciplined people, and it is impossible for us to give up mathematics because of a bottle of wine.

After lunch, the two of them got up and went to the office without saying a word.

After sitting down in the office, Wang Duoyu started a series of discussions with the other party.

"In the Riemann hypothesis, all 'zero points' are a set, and a zero point is a function on this object. According to the usual definition in mathematics, an n-ary function is a mapping from the set of all n-tuples of individuals in the domain A to A."

“When we use ‘all individuals’ to mean existential individuals, the quantifier added to the individuals in the domain is called a first-order quantifier.”

"'All functions', 'existential functions', 'all relations', and 'existential relations' are second-order quantifiers, that is, second-order logic, and what Riemann called 'all zeros' is a second-order quantifier for 'all functions'."

Wang Duoyu wrote mathematical symbols on the manuscript paper and said:
"So the Riemann hypothesis is a second-order logic problem and cannot be fully proved unless God himself comes!"

Many years ago, there was a very famous mathematician in the UK named Hardy, who was Hua Luogeng's supervisor when he studied number theory at Cambridge University.

This man and his good friend Bohr were both proving the Riemann hypothesis, and the media jokingly called them: Hardy fighting God!

But until Hardy's death, he still had not proved the Riemann hypothesis.

When Wiles heard this, he frowned and remained silent.

His mind was racing, but no words came out.

Wang Duoyu was also speechless. Wiles's brain was obviously not as good as his, because he had been talking for nearly ten minutes, but the other party was still thinking.

The speed is too slow.

Wang Duoyu had no choice but to take out his manuscript paper and "play truant" on the side.

With his intelligence and experience, he did not take action on the Riemann hypothesis. However, Wiles was arrogant and insisted on taking action on the crown of the hypothesis world. Isn't this seeking death?

After all, he didn't even think highly of himself, let alone Wiles.

As time passed, Wang Duoyu found that it had darkened outside, but Wiles was writing with his head down.

It is obvious that Wiles has not given up and is still deducing and proving the Riemann hypothesis.

Since he was unwilling to give up, Wang Duoyu simply didn't bother to waste his breath.

Let other people help with the editor-in-chief of "HIT Mathematical Journal", such as Jean Bourgain.

The next morning, Wiles came over again, but Wang Duoyu was not in the office, so he could only tell Su Zhenghuai about this.

At this time, Wang Duoyu was in the sub-combustion ramjet engine project laboratory. Today, another group of the project had completed the previous group experiment, so Wang Duoyu asked them to conduct another new experiment.

The new experiment is about the research work on an actively cooled sub-combustion ramjet engine cooling and combustion closed-loop switching device.

The new device includes the fuel supply system, kerosene pipeline, switching system, hydrogen supply system, igniter, measurement system and control system.

The oil supply system provides kerosene for cooling and combustion, and the kerosene pipeline includes a main kerosene delivery pipeline, a supercritical kerosene pipeline and a liquid kerosene pipeline.

The hydrogen supply system is connected to the igniter, which is used to ignite kerosene, and the control system is used to control the transportation of kerosene and hydrogen, control the igniter to ignite kerosene, and control the switching system to keep the supercritical kerosene pipeline in a closed or open state according to the kerosene temperature detected by the measuring system.

However, this part of the research and development work will probably continue for a long time.

After all, the technology involved here is still very advanced.

Just the control system is a huge hassle, because the control system is controlled by computers. In order to do all this, we may have to use a Nebula supercomputer with larger memory capacity, faster floating-point operation speed and stronger performance.

But the current Nebula supercomputer is simply too big, and it is quite clumsy in both weight and size.

Therefore, this requires the Nebula supercomputer to develop towards miniaturization and lightweight.

Eighty thousand processors, that's simply incredible.

Therefore, in the future we must develop higher-performance processors, integrate more transistors, come up with better computing cards, come up with better supercomputing architecture technologies, etc.

However, how could it be that easy?
The current Guanghui lithography machine factory is already producing immersion scanning lithography machines. This thing can already reach the nanometer level, but it is really difficult to achieve below 45 nanometers.

Even if we can achieve 1 nanometer, so what?

So we have to move towards quantum computers.

But these are things of the future. It's only 1984 now, so it's still early. Let's do our current work well first and take it slow.

After leaving the project department, Wang Duoyu had just returned to the mathematics department building when Su Zhenghuai came to report.

"Professor, Wiles came to see you at 8 o'clock this morning. He said he couldn't get through to your cell phone."

After Wang Duoyu entered the experimental building, the signal of his Xiaolingtong mobile phone was automatically blocked.

Throughout the Harbin Institute of Technology campus, there are many laboratory buildings with a high level of confidentiality, so generally there are signal shielding devices, which will be activated during working hours.

It is not started during non-working hours because no one will be in the laboratory building during that time period.

If there was someone there, the signal blocking device would definitely be activated, because at this time, the power supply to the entire laboratory building had been cut off.

Of course, there are some experiments that require a continuous supply of electricity. At this time, the signal blocker will also be activated synchronously.

"okay, I get it."

Wang Duoyu nodded but didn't say how to deal with it.

Because Wiles himself couldn't figure it out, it was impossible for Wang Duoyu to keep persuading him.

He had already told the other party yesterday how difficult the Riemann hypothesis was, but the other party seemed not to listen. Instead, he continued to deduce it in depth and even wanted to drag Wang Duoyu into it.

In the afternoon, Wang Duoyu met Jean Bourgain.

"Well, Wiles is deeply fascinated by the Riemann hypothesis. He wants to win the Fields Medal in his lifetime, so he is now devoting himself to attacking the Riemann hypothesis."

"I know you've been busy lately, but could you come and help me? Two years, just two years. After two years, I will definitely help you and give you the best chance of winning the Fields Medal."

After hearing Wang Duoyu's "trick", Burgain nodded and agreed without hesitation or thinking much.

However, he also made a request: in addition to the normal monthly mathematics sharing, he hopes to have at least three hours of communication time every month.

Communicating with Wang Duoyu for three hours every month, not every week, is not an outrageous request, but it is also a very high one.

You know, Wang Duoyu's schedule is very tight.

Three hours a month may not seem like much, but in reality, when you add it up, it’s still a lot.

But this is Jean Burgain's request, and Wang Duoyu has no choice but to agree.

"make a deal!"

After the editor-in-chief of "HIT Mathematical Journal" was determined, Wang Duoyu also breathed a sigh of relief.

But at this time, Wu Congqin also came over.

"Duoyu, I want to discuss something with you. You must promise me."

Old Wu looked solemn and serious. Wang Duoyu's heart skipped a beat, because the other party's expression was enough to show that this was not a trivial matter, but definitely a big deal.

Wow, it looks like it’s the end of the year now and everyone is busy, right?

"Director, you say!"

Wang Duoyu had already prepared himself mentally, and as soon as Wu Congqin opened his mouth, his guess was confirmed.

That’s right, Wu Congxin came here to resign from the position of Head of the Department of Mathematics.

why?
Because I can’t carry it anymore.

The professor team of the Department of Mathematics at Harbin Institute of Technology is becoming increasingly large. However, as the head of the department, Wu Congyin has a low status. He always has to be humble when inviting people, and he dares not speak loudly during meetings.

Without mentioning Wang Duoyu, let’s talk about Shing-Tung Yau, David Bryant Mandelbrot, Lu Jiaxi and others.

Even Wang Duoyu's five students: Yang Nianzhen, Rong Guangxia, Yorks, Maxim and Bochelz, are much stronger than Wu Congqin.

Even Zhu Chengwu, Xue Xiaoling and others in the past were more famous and powerful than him in the academic world.

That’s not all. When I have meetings with other schools, the department heads of other schools always put their arms around my shoulders and tell me they are envious.

Mud horse!

It's simply too much!
And some students, especially those in the gifted classes, feel so awkward when they are asked questions when they occasionally meet on campus.

It would be fine if it happened once or twice, but as it happened more and more times, Wu Congqin really felt powerless.

Therefore, he decided to resign from the position of head of the mathematics department and look for someone else.

Wang Duoyu heard this and pondered for a moment before saying:
"Dean, I know you've worked hard these past few years and you're under a lot of pressure. Logically, you shouldn't ask me about your resignation, but asking me to be the department head is definitely not an option."

"How about this? I'll talk to Professor Shing-Tung Yau someday. If he's willing, I'll let him take on the position of department head. How about that?"

Shing-Tung Yau had already won the Fields Medal, although he still wanted to try again to see if it was possible to win another Fields Medal in 1986.

After all, he was born in 1949, and his last chance to win the Fields Medal was in 1986.

However, Wang Duoyu hopes that the other party can take the position of department head. He is not sure how to convince the other party, so he can only let the other party propose conditions.

Judging from the current situation, the person who is most suitable to be the department head of Harbin Institute of Technology is indeed a Fields Medal winner.

Otherwise, you won’t be able to suppress others.

In fact, to be precise, Wang Duoyu himself is the most suitable person, but he does not want to touch such a position. He is not Professor Cheng Minde of Peking University, and he has no interest in these positions.

Because no matter what position it is, it is far less important than his own strength and status.

"it is good!"

When Wu Congqin heard this, he was overjoyed.

For him, there was nothing more gratifying than this news.

"Professor Qiu is good, although he is not as good as you."

Wang Duoyu frowned immediately, and Wu Congxin quickly changed his words awkwardly:
"Hehe, I accidentally told the truth. Don't worry, I'll just say it in front of you." "No, Director, even in front of me, you can't say things that are not conducive to unity." Wang Duoyu was helpless and glared at the other party, saying:
"You're so much older than me, you don't need me to tell you these things. Don't say things like that anymore. If one day you get really blunt and say what's really on your mind, wouldn't that be awkward?"

Wu Congxin, who was being scolded, could only nod in agreement.

As the department head, he had already automatically stepped into the role before he was even laid off.

It can also be seen from here that after Wang Duoyu won the pure gold Fields Medal in July, his status and fame skyrocketed.

In the eyes of the global mathematics community, Wang Duoyu's acceptance of the award is just gilding the Fields Medal.

But in China, this is not just a Nobel Prize in mathematics, the meaning behind it is extraordinary.

In today's context of reform and opening up, any "small thing" that makes China famous internationally is a big deal at home.

This is not just about enhancing our national prestige, but also about enabling our country to integrate into the global village more quickly.

"I will tell him about Professor Qiu."

After a pause, Wang Duoyu continued:

"So, after you resign, what are you going to do? You're not just going to teach, are you?"

As a mathematics professor and the first full professor of the Department of Computational Mathematics at Harbin Institute of Technology, Wu Congyin's ability is not as good as Zhu Chengwu and others, but teaching freshmen and sophomores, or giving advanced mathematics courses to students in other science and engineering departments such as the Department of Mechanical Engineering, is a piece of cake.

But as a manager, Wu Congxin is definitely very qualified.

Over the years, he has done a very good job in managing the Department of Computational Mathematics, or the Department of Mathematics.

Apart from the unsatisfactory academic aspects, there is really nothing wrong with it in other aspects.

"Do you have any other suggestions?"

Wu Congxin raised his eyebrows and asked, Wang Duoyu immediately said:

"My idea is, why don't you stay in the Mathematics Department and help Professor Qiu manage some trivial matters? This will also make it easier for me to convince Professor Qiu. What do you think?"

After hearing this, Wu Congqin fell silent.

It is not difficult to understand what Wang Duoyu meant. In fact, he hopes that he can take the position of deputy director of the Department of Mathematics and manage all the miscellaneous affairs of the Department of Mathematics.

Although Shing-Tung Yau is the nominal department head, he does not need to manage actual business.

If this is true, then where can he put his old face?
Others were promoted, but why was he demoted?

Seeing that he was silent, Wang Duoyu continued:

"You could take on the position of Vice President and actually manage the Mathematics Department. It would also be a good transition."

"After all, the next few years will be quite important for Professor Qiu, so I hope you can help me."

In fact, to be precise, this is a problem caused by Wu Congqin himself, and Wang Duoyu does not need to deal with it.

However, for the sake of unity, Wang Duoyu had to take the initiative to stand up.

Wang Duoyu would never do anything that is not conducive to unity.

"Okay, let's do it." Wu Congqin's expression eased a little and he nodded in agreement.

The matter is settled, and now it depends on whether we can convince Shing-Tung Yau.

The next morning, Wang Duoyu met with Shing-Tung Yau and discussed the matter of the head of the mathematics department with him.

After listening to this, the latter remained silent.

After a long while, he finally spoke:
"Okay, I have no problem with that, but I hope we can have more time to communicate. Is that okay with you?"

Qiu Chengtong was helping Wang Duoyu to set a screen. Although he didn't understand why Wang Duoyu didn't like the position of head of the mathematics department, he was still very happy to take on such a position.

After all, the current Department of Mathematics at Harbin Institute of Technology is indeed extraordinary.

Moreover, after he became the head of the mathematics department, Wang Duoyu was nominally his subordinate, which was quite tempting.

What's more, he is only the nominal department head now. In fact, there is someone to help with those chores, and he can also get an extra salary. Why not do it?

If Wang Duoyu knew the "bad taste" in Qiu Chengtong's heart, he would definitely roll his eyes.

"No problem, I definitely have no problem. As long as I have free time, I would definitely be happy to communicate with you."

Wang Duoyu smiled and nodded. He didn't expect that he could convince the other party so easily.

After both matters were dealt with, Wang Duoyu felt better and breathed a sigh of relief, instead of worrying about when these two time bombs would explode.

At this time, it is very close to the New Year's Eve.

Before the New Year's Eve, the gifts that Wang Duoyu arranged for Zheng Baoyin and others to help purchase finally arrived.

Because Liu Xiaoli's parents will come to their house for dinner on the day of the Little New Year, he has to ask someone to prepare something in advance.

Logically, he should have brought Liu Xiaoli with him to visit, but she was in confinement now, so it was definitely not suitable for her to go out. Therefore, he could only wait for her parents to come.

"Little mother, when will you come to see me? I haven't seen you for a long, long time. Don't you miss me? I miss you so much."

That evening, as soon as Wang Duoyu got home, he heard the little guy Wang Junhong talking on the cordless phone. His childish voice was really endearing.

But Zhu Ling on the other end of the phone must be very sad, right?

"Dad, you're back. Yeah. Dad, can you talk to my little mom and ask her to come back? I miss her."

Seeing his father coming back, Wang Junhong cheered immediately, but soon he picked up the phone again and made his request.

The last time he saw his young mother was on his birthday, but now it is January 24th, and more than a month has passed.

Wang Duoyu squatted down and touched the little guy's head, and said with a smile:

"You miss your little mother, do you want to go see her?"

The little guy definitely nodded, and his eyes were bright. He asked if he could take a plane?
The little guy is more interested in flying than anyone else, and he really wants to take a plane.

"Then why don't you go by yourself?"

Hearing this, the little guy's eyes widened immediately, and then he said yes repeatedly.

After successfully diverting the little guy's attention, Wang Duoyu was about to pick up the phone to talk to Zhu Ling and ask her if she would come to Bingcheng, but the person on the other end of the phone had already hung up.

"baffling!"

After muttering something, Wang Duoyu didn't take the matter to heart.

The next morning, Liu Deben came to the Mathematics Department teaching building and chatted with Wang Duoyu.

The latter initially thought that Liu Deben had something to talk to him about, but after a long while, he was still going around in circles. He couldn't help but say in frustration:

"Secretary, what's going on? You've been chatting with me for quite a while. You're a very busy person, and I just want to relax before the New Year."

Liu Deben heard this and said happily:

"It seems that you don't want to chat with an old guy like me. If you want to relax, isn't chatting like this a way to relax?"

"How can this be the same?" Wang Duoyu rolled his eyes and said:

"My relaxation is not chatting, but hunting, looking at the scenery or doing other math problems."

As soon as these words came out, Liu Deben: “.”

After a moment of silence, Liu Deben finally asked:
"Duoyu, didn't you set up several businesses outside of school? I heard that Youma Clothing made a lot of money in the past 1983?"

Wang Duoyu cast a doubtful look:

"Secretary, who told you that? This is pure nonsense. How could you possibly make money? Money earned in America should be spent in America. Don't even think about taking a penny home!"

"You still want to make money? Haha, it's not some high-tech product, it's just clothing, how can you possibly make money?"

"But Secretary, why are you asking this? Are you planning to take over Yuma Clothing? We don't have any money. If you don't believe me, you can contact Lotte Group or the Foreign Exchange Department. We really haven't made any money."

"Besides, our Harbin Institute of Technology has earned a lot of foreign exchange. Why don't we have enough money to spend?"

After being scolded by Wang Duoyu for several times in a row, Liu Deben suddenly felt depressed.

He originally wanted to ask a few questions on behalf of Zhao Guobin, but now it seems that it was just wishful thinking.

As the third in command of Ice City, Zhao Guobin actually holds great power, but he is responsible for attracting investment, and no one is willing to come to Ice City.

Some time ago, with the help of Harbin Institute of Technology, Motorola came to Bingcheng and built a large factory. It was indeed a huge investment, which also made Zhao Guobin and others receive praise from above.

After all, Motorola is also a big company. On the battlefield on the peninsula, everyone had heard of the products produced by this company.

However, although Motorola seemed to have invested a lot, the total amount was only 10 million US dollars.

As a result, a few days ago, Tong Jianwei went to Beijing for a meeting, and learned from his superiors that in addition to the large enterprises affiliated with Harbin Institute of Technology, there was actually a giant dragon hidden in their Ice City.

In the whole year of 1983, the export volume of Yuma Garment Factory reached 291.8 million US dollars, which is almost 300 million US dollars.

Even though Huayun Company is a subsidiary of Harbin Institute of Technology, its capital is only 212 million US dollars, which is not as much as that of Youma Garment Factory.

Huayun Company specializes in exporting Fluent, a computational fluid dynamics simulation software. It is a pure high-tech enterprise, and undergraduate students who are not from famous universities have no way to enter this company.

But who are the people in Youma Garment Factory?

Excluding Wang Duoyu, the person with the highest education level in the entire factory is probably an ordinary college student, right?
Because Zheng Baoyin and his team recruited some accountants, secretaries, sales staff, translators, etc. with bachelor's degrees, but they accounted for a small proportion of the total number of people.

In short, most people have only junior high school or high school education, and a considerable number of them are women who can barely read or write.

However, this does not prevent Youma Clothing from becoming one of the companies that earn the most foreign exchange in Ice City.

That's nearly 300 million US dollars in export value. If Zhao Guobin and others are blind, they would be idiots.

But they didn't dare to ask Wang Duoyu first, so they made an appointment to talk to Liu Deben and let the latter test Wang Duoyu's attitude first.

"Well, since you're not making any money, forget it."

Liu Deben is not very concerned about Youma Clothing. Let’s not talk about how much money this clothing factory can make. Even if it makes a lot, can it compare to companies like Huashun, Diao Pai, and Dolphin Games?
Especially Dolphin Games Company, which is the face of Harbin Institute of Technology.

In the context of economic development, as long as a company can make money, it is awesome, no matter whether it is a black cat or a white cat, as long as it does not do anything harmful to the world.

As for the claim that handheld game consoles have made young people addicted to them, haha, doesn’t Dolphin Games export these products, and don’t foreign companies like Nintendo develop and produce them?
of course not!

Companies like Nintendo simply can't beat Dolphin Games and are always led by the latter.

Wang Duoyu heard this and said:

"Of course I didn't make any money. Secretary, please don't believe the rumors and don't listen to those bastards spreading nonsense."

Liu Deben nodded in agreement on the surface, but in fact he was complaining madly in his heart: I would never believe you.

After returning to his office, Liu Deben immediately called Zhao Guobin and explained the situation briefly.

"Alas, why is Professor Wang so stingy? I wanted to give him some land, but he didn't want it. Sigh."

"Manager Zhao, I suggest you change your approach. Duoyu needs to do scientific research, which will definitely cost a lot of money. You should follow this line of thought."

"Okay, let me think about it."

After hanging up the phone, Liu Deben was also thinking about Wang Duoyu's true thoughts deep in his heart.

Scientific research projects require a lot of funds and cannot be controlled by others. This should be the reason why Wang Duoyu is so keen on setting up related companies.

The Youma Garment Factory should be an accident. After all, although this factory is very profitable, it is ultimately not replicable.

On the other hand, Zhao Guobin went to Tong Jianwei's office immediately after thinking for half an hour.

After discussing with the latter, Zhao Guobin prepared to go to Wang Duoyu's house, but before leaving, Tong Jianwei stopped him:
"Take these two bottles of wine with you. I remember Professor Wang likes to drink this kind of wine that's been aged for years, especially Wuliangye. I managed to get these from my superiors during my trip to Beijing. I hope this can be of some help."

"Okay, Secretary. I understand. I will definitely not let you down."

Zhao Guobin nodded seriously.

Today is the Little New Year in the north. According to the information Zhao Guobin learned, Wang Duoyu should be very busy recently.

So Zhao Guobin did not come over in the evening, but came to find Wang Duoyu at around ten o'clock in the morning.

I hope to invite Wang Duoyu to have lunch, or go directly to Wang Duoyu's house for a meal.

In the Mathematics Department teaching building, Zhao Guobin came to Wang Duoyu's office for the first time. As soon as he entered, he couldn't help but sigh:
"Professor Wang, your office is quite spacious. Is that the famous Nebula supercomputer?"

As he looked inquiringly, Zhao Guobin began to wonder: Isn't Wang Duoyu a world-class mathematician? Why does he need a computer?
He didn't know much about computers, thinking they were just about solving equations or something, and he didn't quite understand what 3 billion floating-point operations meant.

Floating-point operations are used in application scenarios that require precise numerical values, such as scientific computing and financial computing, as well as fluid mechanics, quantum mechanics, matrix operations, signal processing, etc.

In some complex calculation processes, using floating-point multiplication can simplify the calculation logic, and the more accurate the calculated value, the more helpful it is for scientific research results.

Wang Duoyu looked at Zhao Guobin with a hint of 'teasing' in his smile, and exchanged pleasantries with him in a low voice.

There's nothing special about his office; it's just okay.

To outsiders, the Nebula supercomputer in his office is very awesome, but in fact, Wang Duoyu doesn’t think it is that powerful.

Almost every once in a while, Wang Duoyu upgrades and modifies this supercomputer.

But even so, there is still a long way to go before he can meet his requirements.

Mathematics is a very profound subject and a language for studying the universe. If we can have better tools to assist us, we can achieve twice the result with half the effort.

"Professor Wang, this is the wine our Secretary Tong asked me to bring. He heard you've been enjoying this kind of wine lately. He doesn't have much, just these two bottles. I hope you don't mind."

Zhao Guobin placed two bottles of wine on the table and said some polite words.

The two bottles of wine in front of me have ordinary packaging, and even a little turbidity can be seen through the transparent glass, but the wine inside is indeed a fairy wine that has been stored in the cellar for decades, and it is hard to find a bottle outside.

To be honest, Zhao Guobin's behavior made Wang Duoyu speechless.

It would be fine if he didn't visit me for no reason, but he actually brought out two bottles of good wine on his first visit.

In the capital, there must be many people who want to have a bottle of such a fine wine, right?
