Chapter 22: Clear Goals
"Ah? Arrived at the vertical store?"
Wang Yi was quite surprised when he received a call from his former school counselor.
He thought that his alma mater would definitely contact him, and his identity was not difficult to check.
Wang Yi still has some feelings for his alma mater. Apart from other things, he still uses his student account to look up information.
However, because he only had a small cheat to enhance his learning ability, he couldn't afford to waste time to achieve his goal, and had almost nothing left except studying and recharging.
Even dating a girlfriend is the kind of thing that is done in a hurry to balance work and rest.
"Okay, I'll come over."
Now that a teacher from the school has come directly with his counselor, Wang Yi will naturally go over and talk to them.
The Academy of Sciences itself has a great influence, and various support programs can be helpful.
But unfortunately, I am destined to use an offshore company, and my own secrets are too big, so there will still be certain restrictions on cooperation.
The meeting place was the guesthouse in Shudian, an old-fashioned but grand hotel.
A small meeting room was also set up separately.
There were not many people, including counselor Chen Hao, Professor Liu from the School of Computer Science and Technology whom Wang Yi knew, and Academician Li from the School of Mathematical Sciences.
In addition, there was an ordinary middle-aged man with a meticulous expression whom Wang Yi did not recognize.
But because of some experiences in the other world, Wang Yi can roughly judge that this person should have served in the military and is most likely a veteran.
"You are really a young man, you are amazing. I heard from Chen Hao that you didn't focus on mathematics before."
Academician Li looked emotional.
From the fact that he was the one leading the team, we can probably tell that in the dispute between the two colleges, the school finally compromised with the School of Mathematical Sciences.
After all, this is undoubtedly an international mathematical problem that will surely win the highest award, so it is better for the School of Mathematical Sciences to come forward.
"You are too polite, Academician Li. Number theory is indeed just a tool I need to use to achieve my goal."
Wang Yi saw that this was the person leading the team and he could roughly guess what they were thinking, so he started to block them first.
Of course, he doesn't mind cooperating with his alma mater, but he will never concentrate on studying difficult mathematical problems. He does things on his own without anyone telling him what to do.
"As expected, you are a very utilitarian young man. Don't worry, since we took the initiative to come to your door, we must have a certain understanding of you. For people who are truly capable, our tolerance is beyond your imagination."
Academician Li did not mind what Wang Yi said, or he was mentally prepared when he came here, otherwise the School of Computer Science might not necessarily compromise this time.
"But to conduct research, you definitely need cutting-edge equipment, direction, and financial and policy support , and we have all of these."
Knowing that Wang Yi was the kind of person who wouldn't show his hand until he saw the rabbit, the old scholar naturally brought out the most attractive part.
With the background of the Academy of Sciences, there is no problem in applying for support for the use of supercomputers, and sufficiently high remuneration can be provided in all aspects.
Don’t just watch the news about domestic stars and idols that fill your eyes and their incomes.
But in fact, there is almost no upper limit to the policy support for top talents.
Yes, the actual amount of money you get may not be much, but when you really reach this level, you will find that you don’t need money anymore…
There is little media coverage and many people don’t even know his name. In fact, to some extent it is a form of protection and a way to prevent disturbance.
To truly do scientific research, you need to be focused. Take Wei Shen for example. He is concentrating on studying mathematics, but there are some guys who want traffic who will disturb him, which is completely counterproductive.
What scientific researchers originally require is a quiet environment.
As for their actual status, it is not comparable to that of so-called stars. They are not at the same level at all.
Of course, some talented staff at the grassroots level may be buried, because it is difficult to quantify scientific research before it produces results. So even if you keep saying that you don’t only focus on papers, it will still be difficult to get rid of this point in the end.
But Wang Yi has already proved the Goldbach conjecture and presented the results, so he completely skipped this possibility!
"Of course I hope to cooperate with my alma mater and I certainly hope to have this help, but I am a layman and I don't have the spirit of selfless dedication. In the future, I may look to the international arena."
Wang Yi looked seriously at the old professor, whose face was full of expectation, and stated his position very directly.
He is a magician, at least it is impossible for him to expose . It is not a question of trust or not, but that he will not test human nature!
So although he was tempted to use the school's laboratories, materials, and even supercomputers, Wang Yi had enough courage to refuse.
However, seeing the old professor's slightly disappointed look, Wang Yi still smiled and added:
"But as long as the motherland does not cancel my name, my nationality will always be Chinese."
Wang Yi needs to gather enough resources and talents to achieve his goals. He will inevitably embark on the path of a true oligarch in the future. In addition to factors related to his own magic, his biggest backer can only be himself.
But at the same time, he also has the most basic feelings. He doesn't mind giving a helping hand when he can. However, that will only happen after he has grown up and has the capital to negotiate. He does not accept external interference.
Regardless, Academician Li showed a trace of relief when he received Wang Yi's reply, whether it was comforting or polite.
"You young people... Never mind. You all have your own ideas. An old man like me won't preach to you. But if you want to borrow the lab and various equipment, you can contact us directly. We are going to apply for an honorary professor for you."
Academician Li and his team came here with several floating targets this time, and now they are here to leave a token of their gratitude.
Just like what Academician Li said in their meeting before, even if we don’t give it here, there are many schools abroad that want to give it!
"It's my pleasure."
Wang Yi would certainly not refuse this kind of benefit which requires no effort but provides some practical convenience.
For some tests that do not rely on magic, I can indeed use the Academy of Sciences' laboratory.
This saves a lot of money.
The cost of building some high-performance laboratories is absolutely astronomical, and having money does not necessarily mean you can buy things. At least Wang Yi cannot consider these in the early stages.
"By the way, this is Comrade Zeng Ke. He has some questions for you. Please answer them as you see fit. This is not an interrogation. We are very tolerant of high-tech talents."
Then Academician Li introduced the middle-aged man whom Wang Yi did not know.
After hearing this, Wang Yi could generally confirm that he was a professional in charge of security.
The other person had been expressionless, but after hearing what Academician Li said, he suddenly smiled gently.
"Teacher Wang Yi, don't be nervous. I'm just asking a routine question. To be frank, it's normal for a talent like you to receive funding from foreign forces. It doesn't matter if you don't say anything."
Today's most cutting-edge technology is in the United States. It can be said that the top experts must have some background there. As for rabbits, why should I care about your past if I can use it for my own benefit?
In fact, Zeng Ke’s main concern was still the incident of Wang Yi traveling abroad three years ago, and the issue of him disappearing in the past three years.
It seemed to them that Wang Yi might have been exposed to something during that trip, and everything had been normal in a foreign research laboratory for the past three years.
As for spies?
It never occurred to them that spies would not do things in such a high-profile manner.
And even if we take a step back, even if he is really a spy, we want him too!
Wang Yi naturally let them make up their own stories about this. After all, going to the United States was just for tourism, and they were defrauded by a pyramid scheme for the past three years. Believe it or not.
The previous proof is the greatest protection for oneself.
But it's good that I asked this time, it's like I've found a way out...
