The Courtyard House: Xu Damao's Aunt is the Queen of Women

"Look, they've expelled me from the human race again."

Liu Hao flicked his cigarette ash and said with a smile, "I'm just a little bit smarter than normal people, so what if I'm not human?"

"A little bit?"

Ye Xi's blood pressure soared, and she felt as if her Dao heart was shattered.

"Is it even slightly better? I'd say a tiny bit more?"

Oh, they've even come up with a modern meme.

Liu Hao shrugged and said, "Don't worry about the details, just keep going, finish this quickly so we can get some sleep."

"Honey, make me a cup of tea. Sister Xi, would you like some tea too?"

Ye Xi adjusted her mindset and reached out to adjust her glasses.

"I don't drink tea, just give me a glass of plain water!"

"Wife, pour your sister another glass of water."

Ye Juan, who was diligently scrubbing pots and pans in the kitchen, replied, "Okay, coming right away."

Soon, Ye Juan brought over the tea and water.

Ye Xi opened a notebook and placed it in front of Liu Hao; it was full of all sorts of complex equations and formulas.

Nonlinear equations in fluid mechanics, nonlinear differential equations, chemical reaction kinetics equations...

What surprised Liu Hao the most was the last one: the theoretical conception of the symbolic integral algorithm.

The core challenge of symbolic integration algorithms is to determine whether the indefinite integral of an elementary function is still an elementary function and to provide a constructive solution method. Unlike the approximate calculation of numerical integration, it requires outputting the result with an exact analytical expression.

This algorithm is basically the same in concept as the Risch algorithm proposed by the American mathematician in 1970.

Who proposed this algorithm?

Ye Xi was a little nervous, worried that her idea, which she had been working on for several years, would be rejected by Liu Hao.

"This is based on Liouville's theorem, combined with differential algebra and computability theory. I came to you today mainly to ask you to help derive it and see how feasible this algorithmic concept is."

Liu Hao was impressed. Is this the brain of a true genius?

"Sister Xi, you are a genius. This algorithm can end the era of manual symbolic integration and lay a decisive foundation for precise calculations in computer algebra and engineering. It has the triple value of theoretical breakthrough, engineering revolution and interdisciplinary integration."

Hearing Liu Hao praise her as a genius, Ye Xi smiled broadly, feeling delighted.

In her mind, gaining Liu Hao's approval was more gratifying than winning top awards like the Turing Award or the Fields Medal.

Because Liu Hao is a god in the field of mathematics!

By the way, I wonder if Liu Hao can solve the top problems in core branches of mathematics such as number theory, topology, and geometry?

Ye Xi's thoughts immediately drifted off course, and she tentatively asked, "Liu Hao, can you solve the Poincaré conjecture?"

???

Liu Hao was exasperated. "I was discussing algorithms with you, and you asked me if I could solve the Poincaré conjecture."

However, on the other hand, he also wanted to try to solve some of the most challenging mathematical problems.

"Shall I give it a try?"

Ye Xi nodded, picked up a piece of white paper, wrote down the proof: A simply connected three-dimensional closed flow is homeomorphic at S³, and handed it to Liu Hao.

Reaching out to take the paper, Liu Hao's gaze fell on the conjecture that had puzzled topologists worldwide for sixty years, a glint of light flashing in his obsidian-like pupils.

Holy crap, am I really a carbon-based supercomputer?

Liu Hao was so shocked that his scalp tingled, because as soon as he finished reading the question, his brain automatically solved the Poincaré conjecture in just 1 second!

No, I'm not that smart.

Liu Hao frowned slightly, a guess popping into his mind: Could it be that the system calculated it for me?

So he used his mind to unmute the system and asked, "System, did you calculate this for me?"

[Yes, the system program has a vulnerability... and it cannot be fixed. The host can try restarting, which has a 91.5% probability of fixing the problem. Restart time is 1001 days. Restart?]

After listening to the system assistant's explanation, Liu Hao suddenly understood.

The "Slap People to Become Stronger" system was bound to his soul and used his five senses to calculate the number of slaps he could deliver. However, a bug in the program gave him this abnormal calculation ability.

This can be understood as the system being a supercomputer. Originally, he did not have permission to use it, but a vulnerability in the program allowed him to use the supercomputer without restrictions, and it was a supercomputer with zero energy consumption.

Reboot? Only an idiot would reboot!

"No, no, no, I don't need to restart. Can I delete the restart program?"

[Okay. Please note that if the restart program is deleted, the system will become completely unrestartable. Do you wish to delete it?]

Liu Hao gave the order without hesitation.

"delete!"

[Ding, program restarted, deletion successful!]

Liu Hao turned off his phone and looked up at Ye Xi, who was holding her breath, her face full of anticipation and a hint of nervousness.

"Want a smoke?"

Ye Xi picked up the cigarette case on the table, took out one and handed it to Liu Hao, then picked up a match, took out another one and lit it.

Liu Hao put a cigarette in his mouth, leaned forward slightly to light it, took a deep drag, and exhaled the smoke, saying, "Get yourself together, concentrate, and I'll explain the verification method to you!"

Ye Xi was stunned, not even noticing that the burning match in her hand was about to burn her hand.

Liu Hao quickly reached out and swatted it away, laughing as he said, "Calm down, calm down!"

Ye Xi shook her head, looking at Liu Hao with a complicated expression.

"How can I stay calm? In front of you, I feel so small and incompetent. All my so-called talent and hard work seem like a joke. I really want to give up math, find someone to marry, be a good wife and mother, do laundry and cook, and live a simple life."

Liu Hao was also unsettled; Ye Xi's Dao Heart had shattered.

"Look, you're acting impulsively again!"

"Never underestimate yourself. What makes a genius a genius? It's their ability to pioneer uncharted territories and build a logical system from scratch!"

"For example, I can't come up with your algorithm theory. I can only help you derive the solution, break through the difficulties and deadlocks in the framework, and verify the feasibility of the path."

Listening to Liu Hao's comforting words, Ye Xi's self-doubt gradually subsided.

"That makes some sense..."

She turned her head and gazed at Liu Hao, a relieved smile appearing on her face.

"From now on, whenever a wildly imaginative idea pops into my head, I'll come to you for a reading right away. Don't find me annoying!"

Liu Hao laughed and said, "How could I possibly find you annoying? You could even move in with us..."

"OK!"

???

Liu Hao almost choked on his cigarette smoke. "I was just being polite, why did you agree?"

Ye Juan, who had just finished cleaning the kitchen and walked into the living room, also heard it.

"I forgot to tell you, the reason this house in the west wing is so big is actually because it was built for my sister and me. I just didn't expect that I would get married so soon."

"My older sister started working at the Institute of Computing Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences right after the Chinese New Year. It only takes her 10 minutes to get there by bicycle, which is closer than our commute to the steel rolling mill."

Liu Hao looked completely bewildered. "The Institute of Computing Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences is a ten-minute bike ride from Nanluoguxiang?"

"Isn't the Institute of Computing Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences located in the Zhongguancun research area?"

Ye Xi explained: "The main institute is in Zhongguancun. In February 1960, the Dongsi Experimental Branch was built on the east side of Dongsi North Street, which is connected to Dongsi Shitiao in the north and Chaoyangmen North Street in the south. It covers an area of ​​120 acres and was completed and delivered last October. I was specially recruited and will serve as a level 6 assistant researcher at the Dongsi Branch."

Ye Juan, who pulled up a chair and sat next to Liu Hao, added, "Honey, a Level 6 Assistant Researcher corresponds to Administrative Level 19, and the salary is 65 yuan. With the position allowance, it can reach 75 yuan. Our combined salaries are not even as high as yours."

After saying that, Ye Juan tilted her head and stared intently at Ye Xi.

"Big sister, you'll be staying at our house from now on. Even sisters have to keep things clear, so you'll have to pay for your meals."

"I'll give you a special family price, it'll only cost 50 yuan a month!"
