My Unexpected Career Journey Chapter 6

For the next half month, in addition to attending classes, reading the literature recommended by my supervisor, and browsing Arxiv and Stage, I took the rest of the time to guide my three roommates on their papers.

The three roommates secretly wondered if Alex Ye was cheating, as to why his abilities had improved so much during this period of time.

If they were level one half a month ago, Alex Ye was at most level two, but now Alex Ye is level ten.

Soon, half a month passed and the three roommates had finished their papers.

Alex Ye's paper also passed the review. As soon as he received the review email, Alex Ye took a screenshot of the email and sent it to his tutor, who reimbursed him the money.

At the same time, the moment you receive the email that your application has been approved, the task is completed and you will receive 5 points.

There's only one week left before the holiday.

This week is exam week, but for students of Zhonghu University, as long as they are not lazy, they can usually pass the exams.

As a 985 university, there are very few people who just goof off.

After all, there are only 39 985 universities in the country, and all those who can get in are academic masters.

Soon, the semester ended and summer vacation began.

The other three roommates all went home. Alex Ye's home is in Su Province, Ian Zhuang and Mason Zhou are both locals, and Blake Xu is from the next city.

Home is far away and there is nothing to do if he goes back, so Alex Ye doesn't go home and plans to study at school.

Moreover, there are many students who do not go home during the winter and summer vacations, especially graduate students and doctoral students.

Some don’t want to go home, but more are too busy with scientific research and have no time to go home.

The mathematics department is okay, but if it is a major like physics, chemistry, and biomaterials, which have a lot of experiments, I would want to sleep in the laboratory when I am busy.

Sometimes when the experiment reaches a critical moment, the experimental data must be recorded in full. Graduate students have to work in three shifts to monitor the ongoing experiments and notify their supervisors of any emergencies.

If it is the Spring Festival and I encounter this situation, I won’t be able to go home.

Many people say that life will be easy after entering college. No, it will be even more difficult to relax after entering college.

Many people think that everything will be fine after passing the postgraduate entrance examination. No, after passing the postgraduate entrance examination, you will be faced with various scientific research projects and will be busy and exhausted.

I am severely sleep deprived, my body feels weak, and a lot of hair is falling out.

Of course, unless you meet a Buddhist mentor.

But meeting such a supervisor is equivalent to just hanging around for two or three years without learning anything and producing any good scientific research results. After graduation, it will be difficult to find a job if you cannot produce good works.

Of course, it is impossible to find a Buddhist mentor at Zhonghu University.

There are many talented people and bigwigs in 985 universities. If you want to be a Buddhist, you would have been eliminated long ago.

Alex Ye was the only one in the dormitory at this time, and he was discussing singular cardinal numbers with Ivy Li.

Ye Feidao: "I think if we study singular cardinal numbers, we should start from the source."

"The source?" Ivy Li asked, "Tell me about it."

"Cardinality, also called potential, is one of the basic concepts in set theory. There are four types of cardinality: regular cardinality, irregular cardinality, strong inaccessible cardinality, and weak inaccessible cardinality."

"These four cardinalities, the regular cardinality, the strongly inaccessible cardinality, and the weakly inaccessible cardinality, have been proven in the past, leaving only the singular cardinality."

"We only need to follow the footsteps of our predecessors and explore their proof methods to prove the strange cardinality."

"Of course, I think someone must have tried my method before, but we can find new ways out from it, maybe there are methods that have not been discovered by previous people."

"No, no, no!" Ivy Li objected: "You said that your method has been thought of by many predecessors. Hundreds of years have passed, and so many people have studied it. All the methods that can be discovered must have been discovered. I don't believe that after hundreds of years, there are still methods that have not been discovered. So I want to jump out of these three bases to find a method."

Alex Ye curled his lips, feeling somewhat dissatisfied. He felt that his method was very good. The probability of finding a method from the three cardinal numbers was much greater than the probability of finding a method outside the cardinal numbers.

And this method is a conventional method. If it goes beyond the three cardinal numbers, it is hard to say when it can be found.

Alex Ye said: "The scope of mathematics is too broad. Even if we only look for it in set theory, it is like looking for a needle in a haystack."

Ivy Li said: "So I drew a circle, starting from the linear subspace."

Alex Ye sneered. Of course, Ivy Li could neither see nor hear this voice through the screen.

Alex Ye said: "The linear subspace is very large. If you go looking for it, when will you find it?"

The reason why the linear subspace has a large range is not because there are many seed spaces, but because its scope of application is very wide.

Linear subspaces can be used in many areas of mathematics.

Although the number of proofs of singular cardinal numbers found here is much smaller than that found in set theory, the scope is still very broad.

Ivy Li said: "We don't have to search all subspaces. We can choose spaces related to singular cardinal numbers, such as Banach space and topological space, which greatly reduces the scope." "Okay, even if the scope is greatly reduced, I still think the workload is very large, and I don't think this method is a very clever method."

Ivy Li looked at Alex Ye's words with her brows furrowed. Her method was the method she summed up by asking many people.

She also consulted her mentor and felt that this method was very feasible.

The two argued again, but neither could convince the other, and both felt that their own way was the best.

Ivy Li took a deep breath and said, "Stop, let's all calm down."

"You use your method to study for a period of time, and I use mine to study for a period of time. The time is two months. After two months, we will each come up with results."

There would be no result if we continued arguing, so we might as well try our own methods and have a go.

"If my results are faster than yours, then use my method; if not, use your method."

"Do you think it's feasible?"

"Okay!" Alex Ye said.

At this time, both of them held their breath, believing that they could definitely defeat each other.

For the next period of time, Alex Ye began to conduct research behind closed doors.

But at the same time, he also absorbed knowledge from the outside world.

Find information from the library, read papers from Arxiv, and practice questions from Stage.

He absorbed knowledge from the outside world crazily and integrated it into his own.

But during this period, many people around the world have discovered a strange phenomenon: a crazy question-solving fanatic has appeared on the stage.

As soon as many questions about set theory appeared on the stage, someone would solve the correct answer in a very short time.

One of the great pleasures of Stage is discussing with everyone how to solve a problem.

But in the area of   set theory, the fun is gone.

Because most of the questions were solved by one person.

There are also some people who particularly enjoy the feeling of being the center of attention.

For example, when a problem is solved, there will be many people saying, "Great, you are awesome, please help me, master."

If you have money, people will admire you, but they will definitely not admire you too much.

However, the academic master is sought after, admired, and even worshipped by everyone.

People often go to worship the statue of a scholar before taking an exam, wishing they would pass the exam.

But if someone goes to negotiate a business deal, he will definitely not worship the statue of the richest man and wish himself a smooth business negotiation.

Therefore, the fun of being a top student is far greater than being rich.

Dongyinguo, Kyoto University, PhD student dormitory.

Kenji Ryota looked at the solved set theory problem and his face was filled with anger.

He saw this question as soon as it came out. He thought it was not very difficult and wanted to solve it, but he didn't expect that it had been solved in less than ten minutes.

And his calculations were not even halfway there.

Kenji Ryota is a doctoral student at Kyoto University. He has published five papers in SCI, three of which entered the fourth zone and two entered the third zone.

He mainly studies set theory, and his greatest pleasure is to go to the Stage to solve set theory and enjoy the attention of everyone.

"Baga..." Kenji Ryota glared at the ID angrily.

"It's this guy named Ye Zi Fei Fei again. He must be a devil. He has solved most of the set theory questions recently."

In a blink of an eye, I saw that many people had left messages below.

"Master Feifei is here again. He solved the problem in less than ten minutes. He is awesome."

"Which school did you graduate from? MIT, Princeton, Stanford, Harvard, Cambridge?"

"I really want to know who this great man is? I can apply to him to study for a master's or doctoral degree."

"Master, please introduce yourself."

...

Kenji Ryota became angrier and angrier as he looked at it, and he almost threw the computer in front of him.

"Hmph..." He snorted coldly: "I'll wait until midnight. I don't believe you'll still be there."
