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

Chapter 154, the peak of this life, as awesome as Yu Min (asking for monthly tickets)
In early November 1979, Xu Jinchao, Tang Zizhou, Xie Minge and others rushed into the office of the president of Harbin Institute of Technology in anger, but were soon scolded like grandsons by Secretary Li and President Liu.

The reason is very simple. The scientific research funds that Li Rui and others had promised to give to Xu Jinchao and others were actually misappropriated to Wang Duoyu, causing Tang Zizhou and others' project to be forced to stop, so they were very angry.

Li Rui and Liu Deben have the final right to interpret scientific research funds, and they have also promised that there will definitely be no shortage of these scientific research funds.

And the current solution has already been found.

Another point is that Li Rui and Liu Deben also cited the small software project for processing unstructured data that Wang Duoyu had just brought out as an example, which immediately made Xie Minge and the others look ashamed.

Because Wang Duoyu's project seems to have a huge amount of capital, but the rate of return is very high, and the return can be obtained in a timely manner.

So Tang Zizhou, Xu Jinchao, Xie Minge and others came and left in a hurry. They were angry when they came and ashamed when they left.

After they left, Li Rui and Liu Deben urged Wang Duoyu again to introduce other small sub-projects.

However, Wang Duoyu refused, because it was too early to say these things now, so there was no rush.

Having no money is just a waste of time. Drawing pie in the sky can't really fill your stomach, and it's just a waste of your breath.

In the Computational Mathematics Department teaching building, in Mathematics Class 1, something happened today that made everyone envious: Xue Xiaoling received a letter of acceptance from the Duke Mathematical Journal in the United States.

The Duke Journal of Mathematics is a world-renowned journal founded in 1935, covering fields such as number theory, advanced algebra, group theory, linear algebra, advanced geometry, and topology.

At this point in time, the Duke Mathematical Journal is far less famous than several journals such as the Mathematical Annals, but it is also a very good second-tier mathematics journal.

Xue Xiaoling studied and researched Wang Duoyu's paper "The Compact Four-Dimensional Manifold of a Four-Dimensional Sphere is Actually Topologically Equivalent to This Four-Dimensional Sphere" in depth, and mastered the mathematical tools therein.

She spent a long time, and in July and August of this year, Wang Duoyu gave her an in-depth explanation of the paper, so she finally broke out of her cocoon and thoroughly mastered the paper.

By the end of September, she had used the mathematical tools in this paper to successfully solve a small problem on a four-dimensional manifold.

The Duke Mathematical Journal was also quite surprised. After all, the quality of such a paper could barely be published in the Annals of Mathematics.

Of course, now it has been picked up by the Duke Mathematical Journal.

Wang Duoyu was also quite surprised when he heard the news. Xue Xiaoling is quite capable.

In the past month or two, the Department of Computational Mathematics has experienced a small boom. Many papers written by students have been published in the school newspaper, and papers written by several relatively strong students have been published in "Science China Mathematics" and "Acta Mathematica Sinica".

However, no one expected that Xue Xiaoling would be so amazing that she would directly submit her paper to the Duke Mathematical Journal in the United States, bypassing domestic journals such as "Science China Mathematics". Crucially, it was accepted.

"Professor Wang, do you think her paper will be published in the Duke Mathematical Journal?"

After Wang Duoyu got Xue Xiaoling's paper, some of the students who were watching couldn't wait to ask about it, and even Xue Xiaoling looked at him nervously.

"How would I know?" Wang Duoyu rolled his eyes.
"Okay, stop surrounding me and go do what you need to do."

These days, worshipping foreign things and fawning on foreigners is very serious, and Wang Duoyu can't say anything.

It is normal for people like Xue Xiaoling to want to go to the United States or publish their papers in foreign journals. After all, Wang Duoyu has done so.

Zhang Ailing once said that one should become famous as early as possible.

However, Wang Duoyu still hopes that if these people have the opportunity to go abroad and learn technology and knowledge, they will return to China and actively build our motherland.

After spending some time reading the paper, Wang Duoyu looked at Xue Xiaoling and said:
"The paper is very well written and will most likely be published. However, don't get too excited too soon. If you can't calm down, this paper will probably be the pinnacle of your life."

Upon hearing this, the latter was immediately shocked and quickly expressed his loyalty to Wang Duoyu, which gave Wang Duoyu a headache.

Good man, why are you showing your loyalty to him?

In other words, at this moment, only Yang Xiuhua and Lu Jiaxi were in the office, and they were quite far away from each other. But even so, Wang Duoyu was still speechless.

If Zhu Ling heard these words, he would definitely be scolded by Tang Monk.

As for creating a sense of crisis for Zhu Ling?

Haha, Zhu Ling is a very easy-going person who goes with the flow. She doesn’t think too much.

If you can't get the sand, it's better to throw it away.

If she found out that Wang Duoyu was two-timing, she would definitely quit.

"Okay, stop it!"

Wang Duoyu waved his hand impatiently, "Stop, stop talking. No one can interfere with what you want to do. I've already said that you do have a certain talent for mathematics, but I can also see that you are a little bit arrogant now."

"Mathematical research requires a calm mind and a normal heart. Look at Professor Lu. His achievements are much higher than yours, but do you think he's getting carried away?"

"Go and do your own thing. Keep going."

After hearing this, Xue Xiaoling felt a little anxious, but she felt much better.

But she did not leave immediately, but asked cautiously:
"Then if I have any questions in the future, can I come and ask you?"

"You can ask, but you know the rules, right?"

At the beginning, Wang Duoyu really liked answering everyone's questions, especially in July when he just started teaching.

But later, as people asked more and more questions, many of which were very simple to understand and had been discussed many times by him, they were still brought up and asked.

This is not a bad memory, but stupidity.

Therefore, Wang Duoyu later made a rule that if you don’t understand something, you can discuss it with other students first, and he would only answer one question every day, no more than that.

Xue Xiaoling was immediately excited and nodded frantically like a chick pecking at rice:
"I know, I know. Thank you, thank you. I won't bother you anymore. Goodbye, Professor Wang!"

As she spoke, she bowed, picked up her paper, and left, looking back every few steps.

She was self-aware and knew that her previous actions had caused Wang Duoyu to feel disgusted.

So she didn't dare to do anything crazy anymore. She would just stay in her current state and be content if things got better slowly.

However, being able to get Wang Duoyu's recognition today has already made her happy for several days.

Over the next two days, Xue Xiaoling's story spread not only in the Department of Computational Mathematics, but also throughout Harbin Institute of Technology and even to several nearby schools.

But before everyone could recover from the shock, an announcement was posted and everyone was in an uproar.

Wang Duoyu has established a new scientific research project and will soon recruit new students in the classroom on the second floor of the Computational Mathematics Department teaching building. All students of the school can sign up to participate.

Even though this project only recruits 30 people, everyone seems to be full of confidence.

Especially those students studying computer science in the Department of Computational Mathematics, they all held their heads high and thought they had a sure win.

Just because this project is a scientific research project on distributed computers.

Just hearing the name of this project, it doesn't seem like a big deal.

But students majoring in computer science have the first-mover advantage, followed by students majoring in mathematics.

As for students from other departments, it’s hard to say. Just register first.

Soon, the students who flocked in filled the classroom so tightly that the teacher in charge was shocked when he saw this scene.

The entire afternoon was spent processing registrations, and at the final count, a total of 567 people had registered.

After Wang Duoyu learned about this, he immediately discussed with Wu Congqin to divide the interview into three rounds, and at the same time, start the first round of written test directly two days later.

There are too many people, and their abilities vary greatly. Many students from basic classes come to sign up, which is a sheer waste of time.

"Duoyu, are you really not going to recruit a few teachers to help you?"

After discussing this matter, Wu Congxin suddenly brought up the old matter again. Wang Duoyu shook his head and said:

"Forget about the teachers. Everyone has their own work to do. I'm recruiting sophomores and juniors, so they're more adaptable."

In fact, the most important reason is that the level of those teachers is uneven and far inferior to that of these college students.

For example, teachers like Yang Xiuhua have very ordinary scientific research levels. They may be able to play a supporting role, but if they are really asked to go to the battlefield, they will definitely not be able to do it.

Why does Harbin Institute of Technology only have one full professor, Wu Congxin?

Because the teaching staff is not good enough, and teachers such as Yang Xiuhua, Su Zhenghuai, and Shao Zongjian are not teachers who came through the normal college entrance examination channel.

On the contrary, those sophomores and juniors were admitted by selecting the best from among millions of candidates.

Such students are much better than those recommended workers, peasants and soldiers.

After hearing what Wang Duoyu said, Wu Congqin didn't say anything else.

The matter was settled, and after the news of the first round of written test spread, many people were a little confused.

But with so many applicants, it really won’t work if we don’t screen them.

A week later, the list of candidates for the second round of interviews came out, and Xue Xiaoling, such a talented person, was not among them.

Rong Guangxia and others were also kicked out.

So they all went to Wang Duoyu to ask for an explanation, and the latter had no choice but to confess:

"Yes, I kicked you off the list. You're not suited to computer research. For now, you should first complete your study of pure theoretical mathematics, especially the mathematical tools I taught you earlier. If you master them, I will petition the principal to allow you to graduate early."

"This distributed computing project is extremely important to me. I don't need anyone with two minds joining my team, so you'll have to quit!"

If you look closely, you will find that none of the thirty students who took Wang Duoyu's course in July and August are on this list.

Because these thirty people are the seed students of the Department of Mathematics of Harbin Institute of Technology.

Wang Duoyu will not let them join other projects until they give up completely.

Although Xue Xiaoling, Rong Guangxia and others were unwilling, they had no choice but to accept it.

Three days later, the final list of thirty candidates was released and posted on the bulletin board.

After the personnel list came out, Wang Duoyu immediately took action and launched the project on the fifth floor of the Computational Mathematics Department teaching building.

"Hello everyone, I'm Wang Duoyu, the person in charge of the distributed computing project."

"The project was launched half a month ago. The three computers you see now are part of our assets for this project."

"The following information is the technology I need you to be familiar with and master. You must all become familiar with it within the next week. If anyone fails to complete the task, I will ask them to leave after a week."

So strict?

The students who passed the final selection were originally very excited, but now they were stunned when they heard what Wang Duoyu said.

Zhou Sitong bravely raised her hand and asked, "Professor Wang, we still need to attend classes. We may not have enough time to read all these materials in a week. And we also need to master..."

This statement was unanimously agreed by everyone, but Wang Duoyu said mercilessly:

"That's not something I should be considering. The fact that you passed the interview shows that your brains, insights, and knowledge are much better than your peers."

"If you can't do it, then you can withdraw from my project now. I haven't asked you to sign a confidentiality agreement yet. If anyone doesn't want to participate, you can leave now."

Swish!
Everyone looked at Wang Duoyu in surprise, and everyone looked at each other, but no one left.

Only a fool would leave.

They had finally made it here after passing three rounds of interviews, so how could they possibly leave?
After a while, Wang Duoyu finally spoke:

"Okay, since no one's leaving, then don't have so many questions. I've already given you a chance. This is your own choice. We're all adults now, and we should all take responsibility for our choices. So stop wishful thinking and focus on scientific research to complete our project."

Zhou Sitong and the others didn't say anything, just listened attentively.

"I don't care what you think, and I won't try to guess. Anyway, my project has already begun. Once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back. I can't take it back."

Looking at everyone, Wang Duoyu continued:

"I'll give you a week to learn this information, and you must complete it. There are no reasons or excuses. I don't want to hear your excuses anymore."

"I used to be a student myself. I'm a young person just like all of you, so don't make excuses."

"A week later, we started our first small project, a software project."

In the following time, Wang Duoyu introduced the project to Zhou Sitong, Zhao Jiawei, Yang Dachun and other 30 project members.

At the same time, we also informed them of the details and completion time of the first small project. The time was tight and the task was heavy, so there was no room for bargaining.

So in the following period of time, Zhou Sitong and the others all went through a hellish test.

The thirty people were divided into several groups, and each group was responsible for looking through completely different materials. In addition to the materials provided by Wang Duoyu, there were also some book lists.

You need to not only finish reading it within a week, but also fully understand it, otherwise you will not be able to participate later.

Just when Zhao Jiawei and others were suffering, Wang Duoyu had already completed two papers and sent them to "Science China·Mathematics".

The two papers "The smoothness assumption can be replaced by normality" and "For any smooth variable X over a finite field, the set of isomorphism classes of irreducible I-adic local systems whose determinants have finite order does not depend on the prime number I" can be regarded as his recent research results in mathematical theory.

The two papers are not high-quality papers, and the results are not very good. They can only be said to be okay.

In fact, he had not done much work on writing his thesis since June. He had to give lectures in July and August, and at the same time he was reading aerospace books and editing aerospace teaching materials.

There’s one more thing coming up in September: the electric bike project!
In October, he drafted a distributed computer project, classified and organized related technologies, and it was not until November that the project was officially launched.

During this process, he also had other things to do, such as the wooden house and hunting skins in his hometown, as well as the compilation of aerospace teaching materials.

Instead of multitasking, he manages his time wisely and allows his brain to relax.

After all, he is not Lu Jiaxi, who is fanatical about mathematics and extremely devout.

After the two papers came out, only Wu Congxin and Liu Deben were excited. After learning that the two papers were far inferior to the Poincare conjecture, they calmed down.

Wang Duoyu was even more speechless. Did Liu Deben and the others really think of him as a paper wholesaler?
Although he considered himself a "master of water papers" and submitted many mathematical papers to "Science China Mathematics", "Acta Mathematica Sinica" and "Annals of Mathematics" in the United States from the beginning, it was impossible for him to be so productive while maintaining super high quality.

The key point of being an expert in essays is not the expert, but the "water".

After this incident, it was almost time to test Zhou Sitong and the other thirty people, so Wang Duoyu divided them into three groups and asked them to use the three computers to start completing the programming work.

If he did it himself, he could actually do it, but it would take a lot of time.

The most important thing is that if he completes the programming of this software program by himself, his fingers may be disabled in the end.

"I've already applied to Principal Liu and the others. Two more computers will be delivered in five days. You can then divide into five groups."

"You must know that this small project is extremely critical. Absolutely no information can be disclosed to the public. It determines the future of our entire project."

Wang Duoyu used both carrot and stick, and at the same time did not forget to paint a rosy picture for Zhou Sitong and others, successfully encouraging them.

It was their first time participating in a scientific research project, and Wang Duoyu, as the person in charge, actually asked them to participate in the whole process, which immediately boosted Zhao Jiawei and others' sense of accomplishment and expectation.

"If you can complete the programming before December 10th, I will ask Principal Liu to give each of you a ten-yuan project subsidy!"

boom!
It is true that money makes the world go round.

Zhou Sitong, Zhao Jiawei, Yang Dachun and others were all happier. After all, they only received a college student subsidy of 24 yuan per month.

Most of them are children from rural areas, and many of their brothers and sisters at home are still hungry. So for them, this ten-yuan subsidy is not just a pleasant surprise, but also a subsidy for their families.

Many people of this era are quite simple and relatively pure.

And they are more willing to contribute their own strength to their parents and brothers. After entering December, Wang Duoyu received a letter from his hometown, saying that the leopard skins and wolf skins he had hunted before had been tanned.

Moreover, his wooden house was almost ready for occupancy. His elder brother wrote to him and asked when he would hold his housewarming party.

That's it?

He hasn't been back to his hometown very often recently, but this year he went back quite often because he was building a wooden house.

Wang Duoyu thought a housewarming party or something like that was a bit unnecessary, so he just wrote back to say that he didn't have time recently, and he would send some money back and ask his eldest brother to gather all the relatives together and help thank everyone.

The construction of the wooden house was made possible thanks to the efforts of Lao Wang’s relatives, such as Zheng Baoyin.

Whether it was the early stage of wood collection or the later stage of construction work, Zheng Baoyin, Xu Quanhua, Wang Xiangdong and others put in a lot of effort.

If the weather wasn't so cold and the distributed computer project had already begun, he wouldn't want to go back home for the time being. Otherwise, he would definitely go back to express his gratitude in person.

There is another reason, which is that it is not suitable to go into the mountains for hunting at this stage. It is too damn cold.

Besides, many animals are hibernating, so there is no point in hunting them.

As for the construction of the wooden house, Wang Duoyu had already given red envelopes to the teachers from the Department of Architecture of Harbin Institute of Technology and invited them to dinner, so naturally his elder brother didn't need to worry about it.

Two days after he replied to this letter, Liu Xiaoli wrote him another letter.

This lingering letter left Wang Duoyu speechless.

He didn't reply to the other party, and he was even too lazy to find an excuse not to reply.

But he never expected that before Zhou Sitong and his team had finished programming the program, Liu Xiaoli suddenly appeared at the gate of Harbin Institute of Technology and asked the security staff to notify him.

When he arrived at the school gate and saw her, he was shocked: Is this still the same bright and beautiful girl?

Liu Xiaoli's dark circles were very obvious. Although most of her hair was covered by the hat, the exposed part was still visible and looked a bit oily.

How many days have you not taken a shower?

If Wang Duoyu had not quickly remembered the other party's identity as an actor, he would have believed her immediately and fell into her trap of being a "affectionate persona".

In a private room of a state-owned restaurant, Wang Duoyu sat expressionlessly. Beside him, Liu Xiaoli, with tears in her eyes and a pitiful expression, recounted the pain and longing she had experienced over the past year.

"You are so cruel. I am in such a miserable state, don't you feel any pain at all?"

It was unknown how long it had been, but Liu Xiaoli saw that he remained unmoved and could not help but question him with resentment.

"I feel bad for you, but what right do I have to feel bad for you? I've already said it before, I'm divorced once, and I don't want to be separated from you again. You have your own pursuits, and you even want to go abroad. This is your dream. I'll fulfill it for you, isn't that enough?"

"Can't you just coax me? Even if you lie to me, maybe I'll agree to you?"

After hearing Liu Xiaoli's words, Wang Duoyu fell silent.

If Wang Duoyu, who was still young in his previous life, had been asked to do this kind of PUA, he would have agreed to it immediately. After all, he was young and naive at that time, and he could do anything when his mind was hot.

But now, he wouldn't even believe the punctuation marks in such words.

"If you have nothing else to do, I'll go back first."

After a moment of silence, Wang Duoyu said this.

It's not that he is cold-blooded, but he is married now and it is not appropriate for him to be entangled with the other party.

Regardless of Zhu Ling’s shortcomings, Wang Duoyu will definitely not take the initiative to let her down.

Liu Xiaoli was so angry that her chest heaved, but she still held it in.

"Let me ask you, are you going to America next summer?"

"you know?"

Wang Duoyu was surprised for a moment, but when he thought of the report in People's Daily, he felt relieved.

Although he and Liu Xiaoli had broken up, Liu Xiaoli was definitely still paying attention to him, because she had sent him several letters before, which mentioned a lot about him.

"It seems to be true. Didn't you say you didn't want to go to America? It seems you are also a hypocritical person!"

Faced with Liu Xiaoli's ridicule, Wang Duoyu was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, but he did not explain.

There was nothing to explain. After all, Liu Xiaoli didn't understand at all. This time, going to the United States to give a report was a task assigned by the higher-ups, and he couldn't refuse at all.

He had told Liu Xiaoli before that he would not take the initiative to study abroad.

One is to take the initiative to study, and the other is to be passively invited to give a report. These are two completely different things.

In the end, Wang Duoyu just had a meal with Liu Xiaoli in a tense atmosphere, and the two parted on bad terms.

But what Wang Duoyu didn't know was that Liu Xiaoli had already applied to return to Bingcheng to work and would be back at the beginning of next year.

After having dinner with Liu Xiaoli, two days passed and Zhou Sitong and his team finally completed the software programming work.

Wang Duoyu started running the software and then tested it.

There are still many small BUGs, so it needs to be improved.

"One week. I'll give you one week. You must improve this system as quickly as possible. Otherwise, all your rewards will be cancelled."

After hearing Wang Duoyu's words, Zhou Sitong and others, who were originally full of anticipation, all looked downcast, then they gathered themselves together and started to work.

As a result, in less than a week, or about five days, Zhao Jiawei and his team worked hard and finally fixed the system bug. The entire software ran very smoothly, and the results after testing were first-class.

So Wang Duoyu announced on the spot that the reward of ten yuan per person would be distributed to everyone tomorrow.

The entire project office on the fifth floor cheered instantly, with smiles on everyone’s faces.

Wang Duoyu made a phone call and invited Principal Liu and others to come over.

Li Rui also came along. It was quite rare to see the elusive head of the family also in school.

"Professor Wang, according to your procedure, what kind of project should we look for? If the data is too large, will it be impossible to complete it?"

After the school leaders and their entourage watched the test demonstrated by Wang Duoyu, Li Rui raised his own questions.

Immediately, Wang Duoyu gave a detailed reply. There were many plans. One was to sell the program directly, and the other was to ask them to come to Harbin Institute of Technology in person and bring the data. Wang Duoyu would personally help operate and process the data they wanted to process.

"We can't sell the program. Once we sell it, we won't make any money."

Liu Deben said immediately, and his words were unanimously agreed by Li Rui and others.

why?
Because China in this era is completely unreasonable, and intellectual property rights are all bullshit.

Anyway, it’s all for the construction of the motherland, and charging patent fees is too much.

This tradition started in the 1950s. Because we really didn’t have money at that time, many products were printed out of the same mold.

For example, the famous 28-inch bicycle, whether it is Forever or Phoenix, is almost the same except for the brand name.

Many bicycle technologies and designs, as long as they are useful, have been directly "borrowed" through the use of technology.

And now in 1979, haha, almost everything is still following this old tradition.

So selling the program definitely won’t work, so the only option is to ask people to bring the data to Harbin Institute of Technology.

Wang Duoyu had no objection. He didn't think much of the program because it didn't require high technical skills.

A few days later, Liu Deben didn't know what connection he had found, but he actually got in touch with a scientific research institute in Shanghai. This institute had a cooperative project with the army and was working on a key technology that required a lot of computing power.

They can apply for supercomputers, but they need to wait in line.

The key point is that even with the use of a supercomputer, the other unstructured data would be difficult to process, but it is impossible for the supercomputer to be used only by their unit.

On the other hand, they also have other options, which is to seek help from mathematics teachers from universities such as Fudan University or Jiaotong University, and then use computers to complete data calculations.

But doing so will take one or two years, or even longer.

Now Harbin Institute of Technology has such a method that can greatly shorten the project progress, so they went straight to Ice City with the data without saying anything.

Liu Deben came to the office on the fifth floor of the teaching building of the Department of Computational Mathematics with five people.

"Professor Wang, this is Team Leader Yu from a project team at Shanghai Unit 304, and this is Professor Wang from Harbin Institute of Technology."

After Liu Deben’s introduction, Wang Duoyu greeted Yu Xingxing and his group, and then got down to business.

Yu Xingxing asked seriously:
"Professor Wang, let me be frank. The data we have this time is very large and consists of two parts: structured data and unstructured data. The unstructured data is very large and requires a lot of computing power."

Before the other party could finish speaking, Wang Duoyu interrupted:
"Team Leader Yu, please rest assured. You can test it first. If it doesn't work, we will reimburse your round-trip fare. We guarantee that your money will not be wasted."

As a mathematics professor and computer project leader, Wang Duoyu has never been afraid of the word "computing".

Perhaps many mathematical applications of this era have huge computing requirements that cannot be completed by the supercomputers of this era.

But Wang Duoyu is not afraid of these at all. No matter what the difficulty coefficient of the data is, he is confident that he can solve it.

"Row!"

Yu Xingxing looked at Wang Duoyu deeply, then waved his hand and arranged for someone to take out the data.

This time when Yu Xingxing came to Bingcheng, he came with the attitude of giving it a try. After all, Harbin Institute of Technology is a university that inherited the legacy of Harbin Institute of Technology, and Wang Duoyu has frequently appeared in the People's Daily in the past one or two years.

That's why Yu Xingxing chose to accept Liu Deben's invitation and came here in person.

When the other four members of the 304th Unit Project Team took out all the data they brought with them, Zhou Sitong and the others couldn't help but gasp.

Six large boxes of data, isn’t that too scary?
Wang Duoyu only took a glance and knew that this thing involved calculations for military ships, which was indeed quite complicated.

"Team Leader Yu, let's choose this box. Give us three days and we should be able to give you a satisfactory answer."

"no problem!"

After getting Yu Xingxing's confirmation, Wang Duoyu began to order Zhou Sitong and others to take action.

There is a lot of data in a box, which needs to be sorted out first and then calculated one by one.

At this time, Wang Duoyu also participated in person. He was responsible for the calculations, while Zhao Jiawei and others were responsible for using the program to verify the calculations.

It’s like double insurance!

Yu Xingxing and others who saw this scene all gasped.

Is Wang Duoyu even more powerful than a supercomputer?

In an instant, Yu Xingxing couldn't help but think of the hydrogen bomb project he had participated in before. Comrade Yu Min at that time was also very awesome. He single-handedly completed the calculations that required the cooperation of many people.

At that time, an authoritative American magazine put forward the view that tritium is a necessary raw material for hydrogen bomb research.

According to this magazine, many domestic experts at the time agreed with this idea, but the process of refining tritium was not only extremely difficult, but also required an astronomical amount of manpower and material resources.

In the hydrogen bomb project office at the time, everyone looked depressed, and only Yu Min put forward his own opinion: the tritium-tritium reaction had no obvious advantages, and it required a large number of experiments and billions of dollars of investment.

This requires huge calculations to speculate and prove, otherwise it would not be possible to convince other experts in the country at that time.

However, Yu Min was such a capable person that he completed such calculations simply by relying on an abacus, a slide rule, and his own brain, without relying on a supercomputer, and convinced other experts at the time.

Now, when Yu Xingxing saw Wang Duoyu’s serious look, she was shocked for a moment, as if she saw Yu Min back then.

Two days later, Wang Duoyu completed the calculations, and Zhou Sitong and others completed the second round of verification through computer programs half a day later.

It took two and a half days in total.

Yu Xingxing and the others participated in the entire process, so they naturally knew that there was no problem with the final result.

After finding the final result, the entire test is considered over.

"Professor Wang, you are this!" Yu Xingxing gave Wang Duoyu a thumbs-up in admiration and said:

"Why don't you join our project, Professor Wang? We really need talents like you."

Liu Deben, who was standing next to him, immediately became unhappy when he heard this. How could they poach people in front of him?

This is too much!

Wang Duoyu has already shaken his head and refused. He is having a good time at Harbin Institute of Technology and doesn't want to go to any other unit.

Hearing Wang Duoyu's polite rejection, Yu Xingxing sighed helplessly and could only cheer up and complete the data calculations for their current project first.

For the next week, Wang Duoyu also participated in the whole process, using computer programs to assist Yu Xingxing and others in completing the verification of other data.

At this point, Liu Deben and his team were 100% certain that Wang Duoyu's small project would be very profitable.

By the end of December, Yu Xingxing and his team had completed all the data calculations for this project, and Wang Duoyu and his team received a reward of 50,000 yuan.

For Yu Xingxing and his team, spending 50,000 yuan to complete a calculation that would take them one or two years to complete is simply a great deal.

Both parties are very satisfied with this cooperation.

After Yu Xingxing and the others left, Liu Deben immediately allocated funds to purchase computers, and then asked Wang Duoyu to allocate some people to form a computing team.

Liu Deben meant to use this computing group to help the distributed computer project team make some money.

Wang Duoyu had no objection, as this was something they had agreed on before.

However, not much money can be made just by relying on this computing team.

So Wang Duoyu has to continue to complete other small projects, otherwise it will be impossible to purchase more processors, memory, etc.

Just as Wang Duoyu was making his next plan, Zhu Hanting, who was far away at Princeton University in the United States, was busy with two things: learning English and attending lectures.

After gathering in Beijing in mid-July this year, we set off for Hong Kong Island in the second half of the month, then took a direct flight from Hong Kong Island to Tokyo, then transferred in Tokyo and San Francisco, and finally arrived at Princeton University.

After all these ordeals, Zhu Hanting no longer had the excitement he had when he first took a plane, nor the anticipation of studying in the United States. All he had left was fatigue.

After adjusting to the time difference, Zhu Hanting began to work hard to integrate into the study and life at Princeton University.

After spending several months, he still had big problems with his spoken English, and the biggest difficulty was that he found it difficult to understand the professors' lectures, so he could only rely on his daily efforts.

It took him five months, from August to the end of December, to adapt to the study pace of Princeton University.

On December 31st, the last day of the year, the person in charge of Chinese students at Princeton University told him that there was an event there and hoped he could attend.

Of course Zhu Hanting signed up because there were dumplings to eat at this event.

But before participating in the event, he still came to the library to study.

The courses at Princeton University are very tight. There is not much rest time on weekdays. Even on weekends, the students around me are very busy.

As one of the most competitive students, Zhu Hanting was also very competitive when he was at Harbin Institute of Technology.

But today, when he came to the library and saw a paper, he was completely stunned.
