"There are fifty-two people giving academic reports in the mathematics lecture hall of this forum." Dong Siyuan took his mobile phone and checked the official website of the forum: "You are the fifth from the bottom."

"So, today and tomorrow have nothing to do with you. I won't see you until the afternoon of the day after tomorrow."

Ye Fei nodded, that was fine, he could spend two and a half days listening to the report with peace of mind, and learn a lot of knowledge.

Around two o'clock, the host came on stage and introduced the leaders present.

The leaders are all mathematics professors and government officials from well-known universities in Shanghai.

Then the leader came to the stage to speak and said a lot of official words.

Ye Fei felt sleepy listening to this. Ever since he was a child, what bothered him the most was the leader's speech.

The key point is that these leaders talked eloquently for dozens of minutes.

No consideration for the audience at all. No one wants to hear a lot of nonsense from the leader.

At around three o'clock, the leader's speech finally ended, and scholars began to come on stage to give academic reports.

Ye Fei cheered up and began to listen to academic reports.

"It's time to give this academic report." At six o'clock in the evening, I left the lecture hall and walked to the hotel.

"These scholars are from the top universities and research institutes in many Asian countries."

"They themselves are the best group of young mathematicians in Asia."

"Their mentor is a world-renowned mathematician."

"You can learn a lot from them."

Ye Fei looked at the system and saw that the task progress had reached 68%.

Before coming, the mission progress was 50%.

In just three hours, his mission progress increased by 8%.

"If we say an 8% increase in three hours, it's almost a 2.6% increase in one hour."

"Then in the next few days, you can listen to 17 hours of report meetings, and the task can be improved by 44.2%."

Ye Fei was shocked by the progress: "If we follow this calculation, then instead of waiting until the forum is finished, the task progress will reach 94.2%."

"A forum, the task is almost completed."

"Then should I go back to do research with my mentor?"

"Is it possible that the problem of the minimal tower was proven by me before I even got back?"

"That's wrong!" Ye Fei shook his head: "The progress of scientific research cannot be calculated mathematically with equal proportions. The further the research goes, the more difficult it becomes and the slower the progress will be."

"But no matter how slow it is, the mission progress should reach 80%."

"Ye Fei, let's go, I'll take you to a fun place." Dong Siyuan said with a smile.

"Aren't we going to eat?" Ye Fei said in surprise.

After listening to the report for a long time, I felt hungry.

"Ye Fei, you have to remember that activities like this are not just for you to listen to the lectures, but more importantly, for you to make friends."

"In the academic circle, ability is very important, and so are connections."

"Especially in the Xia Kingdom, connections are our national quality."

"Having a wide network of contacts is very convenient for exchanging knowledge, scientific research cooperation, obtaining scientific research funds and job promotion."

"Even the selection of academicians is based on connections."

Dong Siyuan looked around carefully and whispered: "In the academic circle, there are some people who are well-connected and don't have much real talent, but they are still doing well."

"In this day and age, it's better to laugh at the poor than at the prostitutes."

"Eight Immortals cross the sea, each showing his magical powers!"

"As long as you can fool around, others don't care whether you have real talent or not."

"Of course, only a real boss can ignore everything."

"For example, Qiu Chengtong and Mr. Qiu who won the Fields Medal."

"He is a network of people and a scientific research center. If he wants a position and scientific research funds, he can easily get them."

"When someone puts it in front of him, it depends on whether he likes it or not."

"But we are not Mr. Qiu after all, and no one in the entire Xia Kingdom can compare with him."

"He can ignore all this, but we can't."

Ye Fei nodded.

"I'll take you to meet some people." Dong Siyuan smiled.

"Senior, please don't say my name. After all, you know that many people are here for me, and I don't want to attract attention."

"Okay!" Dong Siyuan thought for a moment and then said, "Then I'll just say you are my junior, and I won't say your name."

"OK!"

Soon, they entered a hall where a party was taking place.

In the middle is a long table with a lot of food on it.

All the young scholars were holding dinner plates or wine glasses and communicating with others in the hall.

Dong Siyuan stepped forward to talk to people he knew, and introduced Ye Fei as a junior, here to get acquainted with the world.

The people present were not only engaged in mathematics, but also in physics, chemistry, materials and energy.

Various disciplines are mixed with exchanges and various ideas collide.

There were also exchanges on set theory. Ye Fei occasionally interjected a sentence beside it, which often hit the mark and attracted attention.

But they just took a look at Ye Fei and marveled at his cleverness, and then they continued to communicate with others.

Next, the same goes for the first and second days.

The time has come for the third day. This afternoon, it is Ye Fei who takes the stage.

At this time, his mission progress reached 85%.

Today's audience is also the largest in recent days. After all, many people are here for Ye Fei.

According to the list on the forum’s official website, Ye Fei took the stage on the afternoon of the third day.

At around four o'clock in the afternoon, the host walked onto the stage and said: "Welcome Ye Fei from Zhonghu University!"

"Pa bang bang..."

Ye Fei walked onto the stage amidst warm applause.

"Is it him?"

Many people were surprised when they saw Ye Fei.

Because they saw Ye Fei at the dinner these two days.

Many people thought that Ye Fei was very clever at the time, but they did not expect that this person was Ye Fei. No wonder he had many novel ideas about set theory.

Some people regret not having a good chat with Ye Fei. After all, Ye Fei proved singular cardinal numbers and is very capable. He will definitely have a place in the mathematics world in the future.

For such people, you should make friends with them and expand your network.

Of course, there are also many people who marvel at Ye Fei's youth. As expected, he looks like he is only about 22 years old, just like an ordinary college student.

Ye Fei walked up to the stage and said: "Hello everyone, I am Ye Fei."

Then he began to explain singular cardinal numbers, writing down the proof steps on the whiteboard while explaining.

At the same time, it is displayed on a large LCD screen through the camera.

In this way, everyone in the room can clearly see what is on the whiteboard.

[Suppose there are two graphs G1 and G2, the vertices are V=V(i=0,1,1,.,j=0,1,2,.)...]

Most people present looked confused.

"Fuck...I can't understand..."

"What are you talking about?"

"It's so profound. I spent a month studying his thesis beforehand, but I still don't understand it."

"I have a PhD in Mathematics from Shuimu University. I can't understand the thesis of a low-ranking 985 student who is studying for a PhD. It's a shame."

"I have a PhD in Mathematics from the University of Tokyo, but I can't understand the mathematical proof process of a Natsuguo scholar, Amaterasu!"

"..."

It was Ye Fei's first time giving a lecture and he had no experience, so what he said could only be understood by people who have a deep understanding of set theory.

And there are only a handful of these people present.
To be continued...
