The unparalleled talent of the country started from Harbin Institute of Technology

Chapter 233: It’s hard to go from extravagance to frugality

On August 2, 1983, at Princeton University in the United States, John Milnor, Andrew Weil, Vann Lawrence and others sat together. Rarely did they discuss mathematical problems, but instead discussed other things.

These mathematics professors seem to have little influence, and apart from being able to write a few mathematical formulas, they don't seem to be that great.

But in fact, after they went crazy this time, several agencies including the US National Security Agency were annoyed.

Who makes Princeton University so influential in Congress, the White House, etc.?
Even the one in the White House had a headache. He was forced to curse at Princeton University several times and even broke several cups.

The country that was once a beacon of freedom now seems to be in danger, with signs of its credibility collapsing.

"It's been over ten days. If Professor Wang doesn't show up by August 15th, we'll go tomorrow."

Before John Milnor finished speaking, his office was pushed open, and a Princeton University administrator said with great joy:

"Everyone, there's news about Professor Wang. It's from Ice City. Professor Wang has returned to Harbin Institute of Technology."

"Really? God, that's so good!"

Andre Weil and others were overjoyed, but John Milnor, after being happy, quickly asked whether that was the real Professor Wang?

In the view of John Milnor and others, the development of mathematics is the most important thing, and everything else is secondary.

Going back so many years, whether it was Atiyah, Grothendieck, or mathematicians like Poincaré, they might have been very great, but at the age of 27, they were far inferior to Wang Duoyu.

There is a reason why the latter is recognized as the Emperor of Mathematics.

Since his debut, he first proved the Poincare conjecture, and then successively proved the Fermat conjecture, the ABC conjecture, the honeycomb conjecture, and other large and small mathematical problems. The quality of any paper he picked out is very high.

Let’s put it this way, Wang Duoyu alone has pushed mathematics forward by at least fifty years.

The most important thing is that he is only 27 years old this year.

At such an age, he has such terrifying results, he is simply invincible.

Alexander Grothendieck was already 34 years old when he won the Fields Medal, and after 1968, he almost drew a line with the mathematics community.

Michael Atiyah is also very awesome. In addition to proving the Atiyah-Singer index theorem using elliptic operators, he also founded topological K-theory with Hirzebruch.

After winning the Fields Medal, Atiyah also collaborated with many mathematicians to study many topics, such as the Hope invariant problem, projective plane, Berry-Robins problem, L-type functions, instantons, singularities of vector fields, hyperbolic differential equations, monopoles, topological Lagrangian theory, Yang-Mills theory, discrete series representation, homotopy groups of spheres, etc.

In short, Atiyah is an energetic person, but he can only work with others, and his research topics rarely make breakthroughs.

So, among the greatest mathematicians of this century, Wang Duoyu is actually the only one who has the greatest potential to promote the development of mathematics, no one else can.

Under such circumstances, John Milnor and others were so angry after learning that Wang Duoyu was in trouble.

"Yes, the urgent telegram sent by Professor Qiu and his team clearly stated that this is the real Professor Wang. They have already proven it."

After a pause, the Princeton University leader continued:

"We have also contacted the Harbin Institute of Technology's US office and asked them to help confirm this matter."

John Milnor heard this and said in a deep voice:

"Thank you, but I'm booking a ticket to China now. I'll talk to Professor Wang in person and we'll know if it's true or not."

Just as people at Princeton University were cheering because of the urgent telegram sent by Shing-Tung Yau and others, the special office on the other side also received the news a few days ago.

"You mean he's returned safely to the capital?"

Theodore Wagner asked at this time, his expression still in disbelief.

You know, their special office sent an action team to cooperate with other departments to prepare support, and then capture Wang Duoyu and bring him back to the special office.

In the end, something went terribly wrong. Not only was the person not brought back, but the incident became known to the whole world.

The whole world knew about this incident, and then all parties blamed each other, saying that the other party was responsible and refused to admit it.

However, after this incident, Wang Duoyu felt safer because no one dared to touch him again. This was a hornet's nest, and whoever touched it would be in trouble.

Even Congress and the White House put pressure on Theodore to resolve the matter as soon as possible and get the United States out of this quagmire.

Now that the news has been received that Wang Duoyu has appeared in the capital, the matter should be over, but Theodore is very distressed and heartbroken because so many people have died, so much manpower and material resources have been spent, but in the end nothing was gained and he was scolded instead.

But I feel so wronged!
At this time, the subordinate nodded seriously and agreed:
"Yes, we have fully confirmed that the target person has returned to the capital and is under tighter protection."

Hearing this, Theodor Wagner looked constipated: Even if the protection is not very strict, it is impossible for their special agency to take people away from the territory of the capital.

What the hell is going on?

In the teaching building of the Department of Mathematics at Harbin Institute of Technology, on August 2nd, Wang Duoyu had no idea what was happening in the United States, nor did he know that John Milnor, Smale, Daniel Gray and others had already bought tickets and were about to go to Ice City.

At this moment, Wang Duoyu was talking to Wu Congyin, Liu Taoshun and others about one thing: competition!

One is the National Mathematics Competition for Primary and Secondary School Students, and the other is the National Mathematical Modeling Competition for College Students. The former is in the field of pure mathematics, and the latter is in the field of applied mathematics.

"Directors, we have the necessary conditions now, so we should start promoting these two competitions now. If possible, we will also need to cooperate with other schools and then apply to the education department. When the time comes, you can go to Beijing with Secretary Liu to apply."

In the office, Wang Duoyu took out two competition plans.

He had wanted to push this matter forward several months ago, but at that time Wu Congqin and others were very busy, and he was also busy.

Now he has returned to Harbin Institute of Technology, and he took out the two plans while he had just finished working on the Nebula supercomputing project.

There is already a mathematics competition for middle school students in China. This competition was initiated in 1956 by Hua Luogeng, Su Buqing, Duan Xuefu and others.

In 1977 and 1978, some provinces and cities resumed competitions. The following year, the National Middle School Mathematics Competition was held. In 1981, the National High School Mathematics League was launched.

The plan proposed by Wang Duoyu was the National Mathematics Competition for Primary and Secondary School Students, which was divided into three different stages: primary school, junior high school and high school.

In Wang Duoyu's opinion, primary school students should participate in mathematics competitions because mathematical geniuses need to be cultivated from an early age.

Not everyone has a good learning environment since childhood and can smoothly enter the path of mathematics.

There is only one Lu Jiaxi in the whole country. He was obviously very smart and strong-willed since he was a child, but because his father died of illness, he was forced to drop out of school and then became an apprentice in hardware materials at the age of fifteen.

The subsequent experience is hard to describe. I suffered all kinds of difficulties and hardships in life before I finally persevered.

But in the history of the original time and space, Lu Jiaxi was only officially recognized after his death. He was not very famous during his lifetime. At that time, he was just a physics teacher at Gangcheng No. 9 Middle School, nothing more.

Therefore, we must start from elementary school. Only in this way can we bring as many people as possible to the attention of those mathematical geniuses who are in difficult lives and provide them with more ways to get help.

As for mathematics competitions at the middle school level, Wang Duoyu simply improved on the existing basis.

"What? The first place prize is 10,000 RMB? And the 30th place prize is also 1,000 RMB?"

When Wu Congqin opened the plan and looked at it for a while, he exclaimed in surprise.

Wang Duoyu heard this and shook his head and laughed:
"This is a national competition. Is the prize money a lot? Actually, it's not much."

Whether it is elementary school, junior high school, or high school, the bonus is the same.

Wang Duoyu focused on the primary school level. After all, he was a time traveler and knew better how poor the poor families of this era were.

If the bonus is not set higher, it may not attract those parents.

As long as you can get first place, you can get a bonus of 10,000 yuan, which means you will be rich.

Although it is not uncommon to have a millionaire nowadays, especially in Ice City, many of the workers of Want Want Group have families that are already millionaires or close to them.

For example, those dual-income families, or families where several members of a family work at Want Want Group, have of course long been ten thousand yuan households.

However, in many parts of the country, especially in the central and western regions, people with an annual income of 10,000 yuan are still extremely rare.

Therefore, a bonus of 10,000 yuan is extremely attractive to people in these places.

This is also the reason why Wu Congqin was surprised.

Before Wang Duoyu finished speaking, Liu Taoshun also exclaimed:
"Professor Wang, isn't the prize money for this National Undergraduate Mathematical Modeling Competition too high? The champion gets 100,000 RMB?"

Wu Congqin immediately turned sideways and looked at the plan in Liu Taoshun's hand, his eyes full of curiosity.

But Wang Duoyu didn't know what to say.

One hundred thousand yuan, how much?
Much!
But the effect is definitely very obvious. After all, professors like Liu Taoshun and Wu Congqin are so surprised, so others must be even more surprised, right?
No matter what era or what you do, spending money is the best way.

In the early stages of learning mathematics, it is actually difficult to see the benefits. After all, among ordinary people, the theory that mathematics is useless has long been deeply rooted in people's minds.

When most ordinary people talk about mathematics, they only think of one thing: What does mathematics have to do with me?

It has nothing to do with me!
I learned math, but it was only useful when I was keeping accounts when buying groceries. It was of no use at other times.

Therefore, the only solution Wang Duoyu could think of was to spend money, which was the most effective and direct way.

"Directors, I don't want to say too much. This is settled. Please talk to Secretary Liu and the others. Before school starts in September, we must promote this matter, especially to elementary schools. We must ensure that all notifications are in place."

After thinking about it, Wang Duoyu didn't explain too much and just asked them to do it.

As for where the bonus comes from?

If other universities and education departments are unwilling, then Harbin Institute of Technology will have to pay for it itself. After all, hosting an event only costs hundreds of millions of RMB every year, which may seem like a lot, but in fact, compared with the future, it is not worth mentioning.

Of course, Harbin Institute of Technology would not really be willing to be the "sucker", everything can be negotiated.

In short, Harbin Institute of Technology will not eat alone, but it will not be used as an ATM by others either.

After this incident, Wang Duoyu plunged headfirst into the Mach 5 fighter project department.

This is another R&D team, and they are working on this type of cavity flame stabilizer.

The current research is based on the ignition process of the sub-combustion ramjet engine combustion chamber based on the concave cavity flame stabilizer. The ignition performance, flame temperature performance, ignition process and flame zone distribution of the concave cavity flame stabilizer are studied by combining experiments with numerical calculations.

With the technological breakthroughs of the computational fluid dynamics simulation software project team of Harbin Institute of Technology, this software has become increasingly popular and is now widely used in various scientific research project teams of Harbin Institute of Technology.

The dependence of aircraft engines on simulation software is even more serious.

In the Mach 5 fighter project, simulation software can be said to have been of great help, saving a lot of expenses and improving efficiency.

Because if all the early design and development processes need to rely on wind tunnels, it will not only be a waste of time, but also require a lot of expenses.

So the simulation software really helped the boss.

"Are the test results out yet?"

Wang Duoyu asked impatiently as he entered the laboratory.

The team leader shook his head repeatedly, indicating that no results had been released yet.

The simulation software has produced results from multiple tests at different angles. Now we have to see how the tests are performed in the simulation environment.

The sub-combustion ramjet engine consists of many parts, among which ignition is the core of the core.

The reason is very simple. If the ignition fails or any accident occurs, this engine will be useless.

In actual combat, if such problems occur, especially in some extreme environments, they can be extremely fatal.

Therefore, it is necessary to study and test repeatedly, and conduct multiple tests in various environments to get the best solution.

A few days later, the results came out.

After seeing the results, Wang Duoyu couldn't help but grin with joy.

But he didn't know that John Milnor and others had already arrived at Harbin Institute of Technology, but they couldn't see him.

The Mach 5 fighter jet project is a large-scale project with a high level of confidentiality. It has been broken down into many small projects.

But in fact, even many team leaders did not know the existence of the Mach 5 fighter project. They only knew what topic was being researched.

After all, the Mach 5 fighter project is a very systematic project that involves all aspects.

Therefore, we cannot say that the mere fact that it is an ignition stabilizer technology research and development project can explain anything.

What's more, each project team is independent and separate, and is not allowed to discuss their own R&D content.

After getting the results, Wang Duoyu arranged for people to start writing the paper. After the paper is completed, it will be organized, the original document will be archived, and several copies will be taken to Beijing.

Every time a small project is completed, it must be synchronized with the Beijing side, which will have an overall overview of the project.

After the paper was finished, Wang Duoyu began to check it and saw that it read as follows:
"The ignition performance of the cavity flame holder was studied under sea level atmospheric pressure conditions. Test data"

"The results show that the cavity structure and injection method have a significant impact on ignition performance. Under the relevant cavity configuration and ignition method, it is difficult to achieve successful ignition using the straightening section flow injection method."

"By using a transverse wall injection method and properly controlling the fuel penetration, successful ignition can be achieved."

"Under the same fuel injection method and ignition conditions, reducing the cavity depth increases the fuel equivalence ratio within the cavity. Increasing the cavity length is beneficial to improving ignition performance. However, there is an optimal value for the cavity length, at which further increase in the cavity length will lead to ignition failure."

Wang Duoyu continued to look at the details of the paper and read it very carefully.

In fact, he already knew all of this content, but even so, he still read it very carefully when checking the paper.

There is no way. This is a super large project, and any omission or negligence would be fatal.

This paper only studies the successful ignition of the cavity stabilizer when the fuel injection method and ignition method remain unchanged. There are still many different situations that have not been fully studied.

For example, under the condition of a minimum pressure of 15KPa, what is the ignition performance of the cavity stabilizer?
What are the advantages and disadvantages compared with the V-groove flame stabilizer?
When a fighter jet flies at high altitude and supersonic speed, what configuration of ignition stabilizer is the optimal solution?
Wang Duoyu is a mathematical researcher, and he likes the so-called optimal solution the most.

Two hours later, he finished looking through the paper. There was indeed nothing that needed further review, so Wang Duoyu closed the paper and said:

"Congratulations everyone! You've successfully completed a small experiment. You can take a few days to rest and recuperate before starting a new experiment next week."

When everyone heard this, they immediately cheered.

Whenever a small experiment is completed, Wang Duoyu will reward everyone with holidays and bonuses. For everyone, the bonuses are nothing, but the holidays are the most enjoyable.

After encouraging everyone a few more words and reiterating the word confidentiality, Wang Duoyu left the laboratory.

Confidentiality is of the absolute utmost importance, and if anyone breaks the rules, they will be brought to justice by the military court.

Harbin Institute of Technology has indeed developed very well in recent years, but the risks that come with it are also increasing day by day.

Foreigners like John Milnor and Edward Witten are coming in and out of Harbin Institute of Technology, so it is easy for some foreigners to come in.

Even if no foreigners come in, there will always be people who will try to find ways to use some tricks to win people's hearts, such as spending money.

Wang Duoyu likes to spend money, and those capitalists like to spend money even more in exchange for the information or technology they want.

So regarding this point, even if Wang Duoyu was impatient, he had to have the patience and repeatedly reminded everyone to hold on.

The next day, Wang Duoyu met John Milnor and the others. They had all returned and wanted to confirm whether he had returned safely. After meeting with everyone, the storm finally subsided.

But on the other side, another new storm also came.

In the Harbin Institute of Technology Library, after completing today's study tasks, Mai Zili suddenly thought of something and logged into a website.

This website is an internal forum of Harbin Institute of Technology. It was created by several students from the Department of Information Science and Engineering and is only circulated within Harbin Institute of Technology.

After all, there is almost no Internet in China now, and Harbin Institute of Technology has its own internal LAN.

In addition, teachers and students from several departments such as the Department of Information Science and Engineering all had a computer, and other departments also had their own computer rooms. Generally speaking, the wild stage of the Internet: the local area network had been formed.

Mai Zili also learned about the existence of this website from Li Damao. Since he knew about this website, he would log in to check it out whenever he had free time.

You can talk about everything on the forum, but the page refreshes very slowly and you can't leave comments because you need a HIT student ID to register.

"Hmm? Professor Wang will be teaching after the school starts in September? He'll be teaching the Geometric Langlands Conjecture, the Restricted Burnside Conjecture, and the Honeycomb Conjecture?"

Soon, when Mai Zili saw the article pinned to the top of the forum, his eyes lit up.

This is absolutely the best news.

Because after school starts in September, they will be in their third year.

By the time you reach your junior year, you must start preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination. You can't wait until your senior year to prepare, right?

Like Jiang Shoucheng, Mai Zili is very ambitious and wants to become Wang Duoyu's graduate student. Even though it is impossible, what if?
Many people know how Maxim was admitted to Wang Duoyu's graduate program. Mai Zili learned about it from Li Damao.

And now, Wang Duoyu is about to start teaching, so it shouldn’t be a problem to replicate Maxim’s experience, right?

After reading it, Mai Zili was still very excited and his brain was working much faster.

At this moment, Jiang Shoucheng next to him suddenly leaned over, glanced at the screen, and said:
"Fuck, is this true? Damn, damn, another day of envying Damao."

Why should you envy Li Damao?
Because Li Damao is at Harbin Institute of Technology, he can attend Wang Duoyu's course at any time, but he and Mai Zili are students of Fudan University. Now it is summer vacation, and they are exchange students, so they can stay at Harbin Institute of Technology.

But after school starts in September, they will have to go back to Fudan.

There will be no way to attend classes at that time.

"Old Jiang, do you want to attend the class?"

Hearing Mai Zili's words, Jiang Shoucheng rolled his eyes. Isn't this nonsense? Still asking?

"Tell me quickly, what are your plans? You can't just skip class, right?"

"It's not about skipping classes, it's about applying to the department head."

"Are you crazy? How could this possibly be approved? You're dreaming in broad daylight! You're incredible!"

But Mai Zili disagrees, because if he doesn't fight hard once in life, he will definitely regret it.

When he was young and ignorant, he chose Fudan University. Now he realizes that Harbin Institute of Technology is even better.

He is about to enter his junior year, but Fudan University still has not been able to expand its computer room. It is still very difficult to use a computer in Fudan, hundreds of times more difficult than the road to Shu.

So he's had enough!
Harbin Institute of Technology has a forum where many students post articles, including many articles about Harbin Institute of Technology’s foreign exchange revenue reports last year, as well as statistics on exported scientific research products.

Some people even speculate that in the second half of this year or the first half of next year, perhaps every teacher and student in the school will have a computer.

In terms of computers alone, Fudan University is far superior to Harbin Institute of Technology.

There is no harm without comparison. Mai Zili certainly doesn't want to stay in Fudan.

What's more, it is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality.

After experiencing this at Harbin Institute of Technology, who would be willing to go back to Fudan University?

After hearing Mai Zili's plan, Jiang Shoucheng fell silent.

From a rational perspective, he should not agree with Mai Zili's approach, but from an emotional perspective, he really should consider himself.

How many chances do we have to gamble in our life?

Just as Jiang Shoucheng and Mai Zili were planning this, as time went on, more and more people knew about it.

The exchange students at Harbin Institute of Technology actually had no channels or time to pay attention to news from the outside world, but fortunately there was the Harbin Institute of Technology forum, so they quickly learned about the news.

Just in mid-August, a notice was posted in the teaching building of the Department of Mathematics at Harbin Institute of Technology.

After the official announcement came out, all the exchange students were collectively excited.

It was just a rumor before, but now it is official news.

Hammer it!
After confirming the news, the ambitious exchange students have begun to think about what to do next.

Teachers from Fudan University, Peking University, Tsinghua University and other schools who knew the news earlier all smiled bitterly.

Ugh!
It’s difficult!
In the postgraduate entrance examination in the first half of this year, the number of applicants to Harbin Institute of Technology Graduate School far exceeded that of last year.

Especially in the Department of Mathematics of Harbin Institute of Technology, the number of people competing for one spot has almost reached 600, giving people the illusion that college students are worthless.

Since the resumption of the college entrance examination in 1977, the number of college students admitted nationwide each year is only about 200,000 to 300,000. Is that a lot?
Not much really.

Except for the relatively special classes of 1977, 1978 and 1979, the number of college entrance examination candidates in each class exceeded 4.6 million. By 1980, only 3.3 million people registered for the college entrance examination.

In 1981 and 1982, the figures were 2.59 million and 1.87 million respectively.

The number of admissions in recent years has been very stable, at 300,000 people per year.

In other words, each class consists of 300,000 college students.

As a result, there were 600 people competing for one graduate student position in the Department of Mathematics at Harbin Institute of Technology. It was simply outrageous. It was outrageous to the extreme.

I think all the senior students studying mathematics in the country apply to be graduate students in the Department of Mathematics at Harbin Institute of Technology, right?

Otherwise, where would so many people come from?
Academic qualifications shouldn’t be devalued so much, right?

It is precisely because they know these things that teachers from universities such as Fudan University, Peking University, and Tsinghua University smiled bitterly after learning about the announcement.

Everyone saw the exchange students' restlessness.

Wang Duoyu didn’t know whether they were restless or what mood these teachers were in. He only knew that he was in a pretty good mood.

At this time, he was in the secretary's office. Liu Deben, Wu Congxin, Liu Taoshun and others were also there. They held a small meeting to discuss the mathematics competition and modeling competition.

After Wang Duoyu brought up these two projects some time ago, Liu Deben and his team quickly took action.

It was the season when the school was about to start, and leaders from several schools including Peking University, Tsinghua University, Fudan University, Shanghai Jiaotong University, and University of Science and Technology of China were all in Beijing. This was mainly because the education department had been promoting the plan to build ten key universities during the Seventh Five-Year Plan period.

Since everyone is here, we can discuss the math competition and modeling competition together.

At the beginning, leaders of universities such as Peking University and Tsinghua University were unwilling to talk about it, because mathematics competitions were one of their few means of resisting Harbin Institute of Technology. Now Harbin Institute of Technology is also trying to get involved in this matter?

Even dominate the competition?

There are no doors!

However, upon learning that the plan was personally drawn up by Wang Duoyu, the leaders of the Ministry of Education looked at it with curiosity.

After reading the plan, the leaders of the Ministry of Education became uneasy, because if Harbin Institute of Technology was not included, they would have to do it on their own and Peking University would have no chance of winning.

After all, Wang Duoyu started directly from elementary school, and the prize money was 10,000 yuan. Even if he was ranked 30th, that was still 1,000 yuan.

So the leaders of the Ministry of Education quickly gathered everyone together to discuss countermeasures.

After the leaders of Fudan University, Tsinghua University, Peking University and other schools learned the contents of the plan, they were immediately very angry: Harbin Institute of Technology has no moral integrity and is actually using the strategy of throwing money?

unacceptable!

Although everyone knows that Harbin Institute of Technology is very rich, it can’t be that rich, right?
It’s really excessive!
If you can't beat them, join them!
So they didn't hold out for long at Peking University and all of them defected.

So within a very short period of time, the plan for the National Mathematics Competition for Primary and Secondary School Students was approved and notified down from one level to another.

In addition to the bonus system, for local schools, if the number or ranking of discovered mathematical geniuses reaches a certain level, it will be of great help in terms of evaluation and improvement of the school environment.

You may even be able to go through the green channel, be praised by higher-ups, and change the fate of the school.

Moreover, Wang Duoyu will also pay attention to this event, and the principals of many schools across the country should know Wang Duoyu's name and know that the Harbin Institute of Technology behind him is very rich.

Therefore, everyone will definitely cooperate very actively in the mathematics competition.

What Wang Duoyu and the others are discussing now is about distribution!

To be precise, it is about how these talents will be assigned to various universities for further training after the competition.

Whether it is an elementary school mathematics competition, a middle school competition, or a university modeling competition, the contestants who can stand out from it are all very powerful people, and such contestants are certainly not too bad.

Although the fairest way is to base it on the players' own wishes.

But who can compare with Harbin Institute of Technology?

Therefore, at the beginning, this method was ruled out by the leaders of Peking University, Fudan University and other schools, simply because they all knew their own limitations and did not think they could compete with Harbin Institute of Technology.

Logically speaking, Peking University and Tsinghua University should not be afraid of these things, but in fact, this is not the future, and the universities nowadays are actually not much different.

That is, from the Seventh Five-Year Plan for key university construction, to the Eighth Five-Year Plan, the Ninth Five-Year Plan, and later the so-called 985 Plan, etc., Tsinghua University and Peking University gradually stood out.

The University of Science and Technology of China, which was very powerful after the founding of the People's Republic of China, was located in Hefei, so various resources could not be transferred to it. In addition, it did not have the geographical advantage of Beijing, so it gradually fell behind.

But this time and space is different. Because of Wang Duoyu, Harbin Institute of Technology frequently appears in major newspapers. In addition, with the establishment of the Ice City Institute of Advanced Studies, Harbin Institute of Technology has become more and more awesome.

In just four or five years, the wind direction has completely reversed.

A look at the grand examinations at the Harbin Institute of Technology Graduate School in the first half of this year will give you a glimpse of the situation.

"Secretary, we shouldn't care what Peking University and Fudan University say. There's no such thing as absolute fairness, nor is there absolute unfairness. If Harbin Institute of Technology were in Beijing, Peking University and Tsinghua University would have been sidelined long ago. How can we still complain?"

After listening to this, Wang Duoyu interrupted directly:
"Let's leave it at that. It depends on the contestants' wishes."

After he finished speaking, he fell silent, but Liu Deben and the others could clearly feel that he probably had more to say.

Because at this time Wang Duoyu thought of a lot of things, although these were things that might only happen in the future.

But now the eighties are very barbaric and anything can happen.

For example, people like Shi Xiaofeng, who live in remote mountainous areas with backward information, have their names erased and then replace people who originally had excellent college entrance examination scores to go to college.

Then it is normal to do some tricks in math competitions.

This kind of competition is certainly a very good thing in the initial stage, but it will definitely become rigid in the future.

It may even become an industrial chain, etc.

Although Wang Duoyu seems a little too worried when thinking about this now, what is the reality?
The situation will only be worse than he imagined.

While he was thinking, Liu Deben and the others did not speak so as not to disturb him.

After pondering for a while, Wang Duoyu finally spoke:
"Starting this year, I plan to establish a computer science experimental class within Harbin Institute of Technology. We will conduct an internal selection exam for new students every year. Every year in early September, after all new students enter the school, they will be able to take this exam."

"I will also offer this experimental class during their sophomore or junior year."

"In addition to this experimental class, Harbin Institute of Technology should also establish its own affiliated middle school and elementary school. Students from all over the country can take the independent enrollment exam. As long as they pass the exam, they can successfully enter our affiliated elementary and middle schools."

Gifted classes, experimental classes, and affiliated schools!
These are the three key measures, and they are also the changes that Wang Duoyu believes he can make in response to some future situations.

Perhaps these gifted classes, experimental classes and affiliated school systems may become rigid in the future. We will see what happens then.

In short, Harbin Institute of Technology needs to become stronger now. If it wants to become the top university in the country and the world, it cannot just rely on students recruited from other places to keep up appearances.

There are so many talented people waiting to be discovered in the country, but they may be completely lost in the crowd under the burden of life.

Therefore, Wang Duoyu hopes that through these multiple systems, more talents can be gathered to Harbin Institute of Technology for training.

As one of the Seven Sons of National Defense and one of the key universities for construction during the Seventh Five-Year Plan, Harbin Institute of Technology must shoulder such responsibilities.

After hearing what Wang Duoyu said, Liu Deben and the others were stunned. Is this true?

"Duoyu, do you really want to teach those students?"

Liu Deben was extremely excited. This was definitely a groundbreaking event. After all, he had been encouraging Wang Duoyu to teach the class, but he just refused to do so.

Now that he actually mentioned this matter on his own initiative, it seems that the focus of his future work may shift a little because of this?

Wang Duoyu smiled when he heard this:

"Secretary, I don't necessarily have to teach all the classes, but I still have students. If they're too free, you can ask them to cover for me."

"Also, whether it's a gifted class, an experimental class, or an affiliated school, as long as they have such talent, I don't mind admitting these students early."

As long as you become his student and don't do anything stupid, you can basically say that you will never lack food and clothing in your life.

You can even live a life of luxury from now on, but it won't be too ordinary.

"Duoyu, your requirements are too high. Look, it's been several years, and you've only admitted seven students. How about relaxing the requirements?"

Wu Congxin echoed:

"Look, recently, countless exchange students have wanted to sign up for your course exams, and quite a few have already been accepted to stay at our school."

"Some students also suggested to me that the assessment could be brought forward."

This is indeed true.

Since the Department of Mathematics posted an announcement: Wang Duoyu will start a course after the school starts in September, specializing in teaching the geometric Langlands conjecture, the restricted Burnside conjecture and the honeycomb conjecture.

If you want to attend classes, you need to take an assessment. Only after passing the assessment can you attend classes.

Therefore, many students hope to take the assessment in advance. After all, many students are exchange students. They know their own strengths and weaknesses, but still want to take the assessment.

Wang Duoyu shook his head. "What's the big deal about taking the exam a few days early? Besides, I have to give speeches at Peking University, USTC, and Tsinghua University at the end of August, so there's no way I can take the exam in advance."

The exam questions are set by Wang Duoyu himself. They will be given on the spot after the time comes and will definitely not be given in advance.

And since they are all open-book exams, there is no question of cheating or not.
