Chapter 98 Happiness Came Too Suddenly
Vice Principal Dai was genuinely flustered and didn't express his opinion until he left the Lightweight Research Center.
The school would never support a sophomore student leading a team to try and secure a project from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.
Besides, this student is an academic enchantress!
Although Jiangsu University of Science and Technology is not as prestigious as Tsinghua and Peking Universities, it is still a top-tier 985 university specializing in science and engineering in China. It still has some self-respect and would not do something so disgraceful to science.
However, that's just how awkward things are in this world!
A few days later!
Lu Ming's paper, "Analysis and Verification of Local Approximate Equivalence NPC Theory," has finally been published in SICOMP, a top journal in the P/NP field.
It shocked the entire information science and industry community overnight. Big names in computer science, semiconductors, communications, networking, AI, quantum computing, and other industries were all surprised.
This is a revolutionary breakthrough.
Over the past few decades, many near-equivalent results of P/NP have been discovered, but their impact on industry has been very low, and a stable theory has not been formed.
These are all isolated cases and special cases.
Lu Ming's paper finds a theoretical mathematical framework through discrete, linear algebra and functional analysis, and within this framework, a large number of P/NP near-equivalence results can be found, collectively referred to as local near-equivalence NPC.
That's really impressive.
In particular, it has a significant impact on communications, chip design, AI models, and quantum computers, allowing for a shortcut in many underlying designs.
Due to the time difference, Vice Principal Dai received the call at around 2 a.m. and hurriedly got out of bed to check the electronic version of the paper.
This isn't Vice Principal Dai's area of expertise, but he could generally understand the gist of it.
Since it's been published in a top journal, it must have been approved, and the relevant mathematical inferences, verifications, and conclusions must be valid.
I'm so excited!
Vice Principal Dai hurriedly called Lu Ming, but no one answered after three attempts.
Damn it, what use do you have for a cell phone?
Although he was very angry, Vice Principal Dai actually had a general idea of what was going on. He guessed that this internet celebrity with tens of millions of followers was currently with those top female fans who had paid the most money to support her.
It should just be a normal celebration, nothing special!
next day!
Early in the morning.
Lu Ming was summoned to the principal's office at the Jiangbin campus.
Vice Principal Dai cut to the chase, closed the door himself, and asked in a low voice, "Xiao Lu, tell me the truth, did you come up with this local approximation NPC theory yourself, or was it a project given to you by Lin Xiaowei?"
"I did it myself, secretly for a year, and only asked my supervisor to recommend it before the paper was published."
Lu Ming had anticipated this before he arrived. He picked up his tablet and sent several drafts of historical papers, as well as more than a dozen derivative research topics that he was currently working on, to Vice Principal Dai.
In fact, Vice Principal Dai already knew the gist of it after just a quick glance at the tablet.
To be on the safe side.
The academician returned to his desk, opened his email to check historical versions of his papers, as well as more than a dozen subsequent research projects.
Several of them have already been completed.
This isn't something money can solve.
A single paper, "Analysis and Verification of the NPC Theory of Local Approximate Equivalences," is enough to leave a brilliant name in the field of applied mathematics.
Vice President Dai made a very realistic statement: even as an academician, he had not achieved such success.
His main research areas are chemical processes and carbon materials. He is an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, but he has not made many achievements in the field of theoretical science.
Lu Ming is different.
This is a theoretical achievement in the field of applied mathematics, and at least in the past decade, it is undoubtedly the highest achievement in China.
Vice Principal Dai secretly retracted his previous assessment of Lu Ming. Although he was a male version of an academic enchantress, his mathematical talent and research ability were still very high.
In the words of young people, this is a natural talent!
After briefly reviewing Lu Ming's applied mathematics papers, Vice Principal Dai made up his mind and instructed, "From the papers you have already written, select one to apply for the university's doctoral degree in applied mathematics. The situation is special, so we will make an exception and directly offer you a contract as a specially appointed associate researcher."
"OK!"
Lu Ming readily agreed without any intention of haggling.
Even if you're only an associate researcher, it doesn't matter!
There always has to be a process.
"Xiao Lu, I know that with your current academic achievements and potential, some universities would definitely be willing to offer you the treatment of a specially appointed full researcher. However, Jiangsu University of Science and Technology is different. We have a long-term training and support plan for you."
Vice Principal Dai was aware of the situation and immediately made some more corrections.
First, draw a big pie in the sky.
"Then first support my application for the industrialization project of multi-frequency domain heterogeneous lightweight. After all, I'm all ready. Yabin Group alone has invested seven or eight hundred million yuan, and the project is already halfway done."
Lu Ming wanted to gain tangible benefits; otherwise, he wouldn't have agreed to the treatment of an associate researcher.
He himself has a clear conscience.
Although others were primarily doing the work, he still provided crucial guidance, pinpointing the right direction and ensuring the project progressed exceptionally smoothly.
"Is that so?"
Vice Principal Dai was still a little hesitant, feeling somewhat embarrassed.
no doubt!
These academic beauties also have different levels, and Lu Ming's level is a bit too exaggerated.
No one would believe what I said!
"In fact, the second phase of the Yabin Intelligent Textile Center project is progressing very smoothly and will be completed in at most another six months, which fully proves the industrialization value of the multi-frequency domain heterogeneous theory."
Lu Ming spoke the truth.
Previously, the main reason for not rushing to apply for national special project support was due to confidentiality considerations, and secondly, it was because they looked down on the small amount of financial allocation from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.
At most, it would be around ten million, not even enough to fill a tooth gap.
Things are different now. The theory has been officially published, and as long as the industrialization verification is completed, his mentor, Lin Xiaowei, will be eligible to apply for academician status.
Whether the application can be approved depends on luck, as well as Jiangsu University of Science and Technology's operational and campaigning capabilities.
"etc!"
Vice Principal Dai felt that something was wrong.
After pondering for a moment, he realized a strange problem and hurriedly asked Lu Ming, "You're in charge of industrialization verification, so what is Lin Xiaowei in charge of? She's not working on a more important project, is she?"
You two, teacher and student, have gone too far. Are you even wary of gentlemen?
Are they even protecting schools?
Are you guys thinking of changing jobs?
The school has treated you very well!
Now that things have come to this, Lu Ming no longer needs to hide it and said, "My mentor's multi-frequency domain heterogeneous theory was done first, and my local near-equivalence NPC theory was done later."
After reading my paper, she realized that the two could be combined to create an ultra-lightweight model specification based on local approximation theory!
Omg!
Vice Principal Dai felt a chill run down his spine.
Happiness came so suddenly!
Back then, he defied all opposition and brought in Lin Xiaowei as a catalyst, hoping to stimulate the AI community within Jiangsu University of Science and Technology.
Unexpectedly, a dragon from across the river has been brought in!
The three theoretical achievements of Lin Xiaowei and Lu Ming, teacher and student, are all at the level of winning the second prize of the National Natural Science Progress Award.
Whether or not a first prize can be won depends on the final results of industrialization, but even three second prizes would be enough to secure an academician position.
In fact, Vice Principal Dai felt that Lu Ming's theory of local approximations in NPC was absolutely worthy of the Gödel Prize and the Su Buqing Applied Mathematics Prize in China, and even the Turing Award and the first prize of the National Natural Science Progress Award.
This is the most important breakthrough in applied mathematics in the last decade globally, bar none!
