Chapter 90: The National Exam King, His Exams Are Insane
Because they had drunk a few glasses of champagne at the banquet, Lu Ming couldn't drive everyone back to school. Since the hotel wasn't far from the school, Lin Xiaowei and her classmates walked back to school together after they had eaten and drunk their fill.
While waiting for his designated driver downstairs, Lu Ming finally received a message from Xie Fengling.
"No wonder your nickname is 'Lu Daqi' (a nickname implying someone who is very capable). I've booked a room upstairs to help you calm down."
Xie Fengling was also eager to secure projects, but the small projects she had obtained from several doctoral supervisors were no longer enough to satisfy her appetite.
She wants to become a tenured full professor and enjoy herself while she's at it!
"Teacher, please have some self-respect!"
Lu Ming was quite bored while waiting for the designated driver in the car, so he decided to tease this academic enchantress.
"Stop pretending. I've heard the rumors about you and those female chairpersons for a long time. You can sleep with female chairpersons, but you can't sleep with female professors?"
Xie Fengling was too lazy to pretend anymore, since everyone knew each other well anyway.
The fact that she was an academic femme fatale was known to almost everyone in the school, since it was a consensual affair and the school leaders couldn't really interfere.
When Zhu Weiping and his fellow doctoral supervisors hosted banquets for companies, she would always accompany them, drinking with them from her graduate studies to her doctoral graduation, all the way up to her associate professorship.
Lu Ming didn't know how to refute the female professor, so he simply silenced his phone and used the system to access the Universe Level I Knowledge Base.
He has now found a very interesting way to learn: by reading a large number of introductions to various Class I cosmology papers, he can grasp the conclusions of these papers and expand his knowledge base.
These are all free!
He could only read a few hundred words of each paper, at most a thousand words, but that was enough.
Based on his current estimates and analysis, a Type I civilization in the universe is roughly at the level of having just developed nuclear fusion and quantum computers.
The overall level of technology is equivalent to the middle or end of this century for Earth.
By retrieving a large number of papers from Earth and comparing them with numerous introductions to papers from the Cosmic Level I, it would be sufficient to determine the roadmap for technological progress over the next fifty years.
The system finally displayed a new message when the designated driver arrived and drove back to school.
"Complete side quest (21), resist the temptation of the beautiful professor, and gain one point of Agility!"
I actually drew Lingmin!
Lu Ming was slightly disappointed.
The essence of this attribute is to increase the speed and efficiency of neural reactions, which manifests externally as enhanced vision, hearing, smell, taste, as well as the precision of movements and body balance, etc.
It allows for more precise control over the body and also has certain benefits for brain thinking and reaction.
The only downside is that the body will become more sensitive.
After the completion of the intelligent textile center in the province, Yabin Group's production capacity in the fields of fabrics and dyeing increased significantly. However, in the textile industry, the profit margin is getting lower and lower.
Han Huilan currently mainly manufactures for major European and American brands, supplying high-end fabrics. She also relies on overseas e-commerce platforms to produce fast fashion women's and men's clothing and underwear. In China, she launches affordable alternatives to major brand men's clothing, underwear, and down jackets online.
I'm completely ceasing production of women's clothing in China; the return rate is too high, resulting in significant losses.
Given the intense competition in these industries, even if you can make money, you won't make much.
After resting at the Longhua Club for a few days, she finally understood and decided to allocate more funds to research on nano-batteries.
In Lu Ming's opinion, this female chairman was more obedient than his sister-in-law, Mei Yanping, probably because she came from the entertainment industry and made money very easily.
Summer vacation is approaching.
After Lu Ming finished the finals of the Qiu Chuang competition at Tsinghua and Peking Universities, he returned to his province and continued to work on projects in the laboratory while participating in the Yabin Cup college basketball tournament.
To meet his mission requirements, the format of the Yabin Cup was changed. The twenty-odd teams from various universities in the provincial capital that entered the knockout stage continued to play in a new group stage during the summer vacation, with Yabin Group providing accommodation and training venues.
This will continue until late July.
The results of the national hill climbing competition finals have finally been announced.
Lu Ming won three individual subject gold medals and an individual all-around gold medal, single-handedly leading Jiangsu University of Science and Technology to the team gold medal.
His analysis and partial differential equations, probability and statistics, and applied computational mathematics are all far ahead of others, and he almost won the gold medal in algebra and number theory.
The night the results came out.
He received congratulatory calls from all sides, including Tsinghua University, Peking University, and several overseas universities.
Vice President Dai, Vice President He, Zhu Weiping, Lin Xiaowei, and Xie Fengling from Jiangsu University of Science and Technology also made several phone calls.
None of them worked!
9 PM!
Lu Ming was extremely busy.
With ten points in Constitution and ten points in Tenacity, combined with a 15% boost to all attributes, it's practically a human perpetual motion machine.
Moreover, it has a figure and appearance score of 10.
By now.
Lu Ming finally understood that this was not a simple academic genius system at all.
Even Thanos isn't as powerful as him!
The next morning, while he was having breakfast, he finally received another call from Vice Principal Dai.
"Xiao Lu, what have you been up to all night? I was still calling you at 2 a.m., making over a dozen calls!"
Vice Principal Dai was a little angry, suspecting that Lu Ming was secretly considering invitations from Tsinghua University, Peking University, and foreign universities.
Because Lu Ming has a bachelor's degree in mathematics from Jiangxi Normal University, it means that Lu Ming can immediately go to Tsinghua or Peking University, or go to a top university abroad for graduate studies.
He single-handedly propelled Jiangsu University of Science and Technology to the national Qiu Cheng competition team gold medal!
In fact, apart from Lu Ming, the other students from Jiangsu University of Science and Technology who participated in the national finals were completely eliminated, only winning one bronze medal in a single subject.
Even so, Lu Mingtong was unstoppable, winning three gold medals and two bronze medals in six individual subjects.
That's really outrageous.
No wonder he's the top scorer in the national college entrance examination (Gaokao) using the new version I, a 40-year-old national exam king whose test questions are absolutely insane.
All the top universities in the world hope that he will go to their schools to further his studies in mathematics.
The probability of achieving results is too high!
For such a top-tier talent to study any other subject would be a waste of his mathematical genius, a disservice to the country, and a disservice to humanity.
Vice Principal Dai was so excited that he couldn't sleep all night, constantly making phone calls, fearing that Lu Ming would be poached by Tsinghua and Peking Universities.
The more I can't get through, the more panicked I get!
At 2 a.m., Principal Tan called him to ask how his conversation with Lu Ming, the 40-year-old math genius, went.
How is it?
He couldn't get through on the phone!
"I celebrated with some friends last night, drank a bit too much, and have been lying in bed ever since!"
Lu Ming did not lie to the school leaders.
"It's such a joyous occasion, it's normal to have a few drinks, but you're not thinking of going abroad for further studies, are you?"
Vice President Dai has already made the worst-case scenario plan: studying abroad is acceptable, but going to Tsinghua or Peking University is absolutely out of the question—we can't afford to aid the enemy!
"Don't worry, sir, I won't leave the province. At my age, what could be more important than my children?"
Lu Ming sounded a little guilty about what he said.
In recent months, in order to finish the side quests (8) and (10) as quickly as possible, he has not even had time to take care of his daughter Rui Rui. Apart from helping his mentor remodel in the laboratory, he spends all his free time playing basketball.
He played more than 60 games in two months.
I finally got both my Constitution and Resilience attributes to ten points, and as expected, my body is incredibly strong.
Fortunately, the mature women in the mothers' group are all very obedient now and are taking turns helping him take care of his daughter.
"Xiao Lu, that's what I really admire about you. As parents, your children are definitely the most important thing. Since you're not planning to leave Jiangsu University of Science and Technology, let's discuss the direct PhD program in advance. It's settled."
Vice Principal Dai quickly finalized the matter to avoid any unforeseen complications.
It's not the theft itself that's scary, it's having someone eyeing you!
Tell the truth.
This 40-year-old repeat student is truly amazing. If he hadn't been so playful when he was young, with such talent he could easily have become a Yangtze River Scholar, a National Outstanding Youth Science Fund recipient, a leader of ten thousand talents, and might even have won the Turing Award and the Fields Medal.
"OK!"
Lu Ming readily agreed.
"Xiao Lu, have you ever thought about focusing on studying mathematics?" Vice Principal Dai finally voiced Principal Tan's opinion.
This talent is certainly a good thing to use for AI, but it would actually be more suitable for pure mathematical theoretical research.
The main issue is that in the field of pure theoretical mathematics, Jiangsu University of Science and Technology ranks only slightly higher than Jiangsu University in the province, lagging far behind Tsinghua and Peking Universities.
In other words, as long as Lu Ming can achieve results and publish several top-tier journal articles, he has a very high chance of getting a tenured professorship at Jiangsu University of Science and Technology.
"Let's focus on applied mathematics for now!" Lu Ming actually agreed with the school's suggestion.
He has now essentially solved the PvsNP problem, a core problem in computer mathematics that plays a crucial role in the entire AI industry.
When people were building the model, they generally believed that this conjecture was invalid.
The knowledge base of the Cosmic Level I contains not only relevant papers, but also a vast system.
In layman's terms, P is not equal to NP. Most NPC problems do not have polynomial-efficient algorithms; they only have approximate solutions, the solutions that are closest to the truth.
Compared to Earth-based mathematics, a significant advancement in Universe Level I mathematics is the ability to compress the scope of NPCs through quantum computing technology.
By setting a local domain, approximate solutions can be quickly found in specific NPC problem domains.
Simply put, P is not equal to NP, but within a specific range and under specific conditions, some P can be equal to NP.
Such a mathematical theory is enough to overturn the existing mathematical framework and open up a completely new field of mathematical research.
For large models, especially lightweight large models, the impact of this fundamental mathematical theory is very significant.
This theory is also very important in the fields of semiconductor design and quantum computing, and can solve many engineering application problems.
In particular, the Tao Law proposed in recent years is closely related to this local approximation NPC theory.
Through special mathematical design, near-equation answers can be obtained quickly in certain fields, directly eliminating the intermediate calculation processes.
Lu Ming now intends to complete the initial part of this theory.
The problem is that he can only see the introduction.
The real proof process, the process of demonstrating the entire theory and various applied formulas, must be done by him.
simply put.
He knew that this conjecture and related theories were valid, and that he could even find thousands of locally applicable formulas in the knowledge base of the universe's first level.
Now, he has to prove this theory himself based on the few hundred words in the introduction and the brief information.
It will take some time.
But if you manage to do it, you can create a new sub-discipline within the modern mathematical system.
Even in relatively minor sub-disciplines, he can still be considered a master of mathematics.
They went straight to establishing their own sect!
