Top Student at Their Peak-Chapter 245 - 111 This is the Adult World

Senior Brother Chen left, waved his sleeve, didn’t take away any clouds, but left behind his graduation paper.

Actually, Qiao Yu originally wanted to drag Senior Brother Chen into discussing his troubles, like how Director Tian insisted on making him, an undergraduate, do a project, but he ultimately gave up.

The main reason was that he always felt Senior Brother Chen’s mood was a bit off.

As everyone knows, when a friend’s emotions aren’t stable, it’s best to share joys, not worries. freewёbnoνel.com

Since he’s already shared his happiness, there’s no need to burden Senior Brother with his troubles.

However, regarding this paper, Qiao Yu still plans to seriously ask Grandfather Master on the opposite side to lend a hand.

After seeing Senior Brother off, Qiao Yu no longer felt sleepy, so he simply logged into the Yanbei University supercomputing center in front of the computer and started studying the usage mechanism of the supercomputing center.

Then he downloaded xShell to remotely log into the account Director Tian gave him.

As expected, the account provided by Director Tian had privileges, unlike what the user guide said with so many restrictions, and he didn’t need to worry about the remaining machine time issue.

The supercomputing account already showed that many tasks were running simultaneously.

Qiao Yu took a quick look, sure enough, they were all his papers. To shorten the time, the operator did Task Decomposition, breaking down the verification tasks into dozens of small tasks to achieve parallel acceleration and make full use of the multiple cores and nodes resources of the supercomputer.

Actually, Qiao Yu felt there was no need to rush so much, but considering that Grandfather Master also had people verifying it over there, was this to prove that the supercomputing center of Yanbei University was faster than Huaqing’s supercomputing center?

Qiao Yu thought this was possible. After all, sometimes the competitiveness of men is so inexplicable.

Really, back in elementary school, he had two male classmates who competed in the restroom during break time to see who could pull out more...

It just so happened that he had a stomachache that day and overheard it... which led Qiao Yu to think for several days, not understanding what was so proud about winning this. Even if it were a competition of who could pee farther, he could understand that.

Although Director Tian and Grandfather Master are older, a man remains a boy till his death, but who can explain the competitiveness of men?

Just like today, what a great opportunity to break the ice, he couldn’t even bring himself to tell others what Tian and Elder Yuan talked about... ah, let’s just say the journey to breaking the ice is still long and arduous.

However, asking Grandfather Master for advice on the paper for Senior Brother Chen might help ease the relationship on both sides a bit.

At this moment, Qiao Yu even felt like a patriarch, worried about everyone around him. Yet the people around him not only didn’t understand him but also desperately wanted to add more burdens. Ah... why do mentors make it hard for students?

With a sigh, Qiao Yu, too lazy to study the supercomputer any further, returned to bed, slipped off his shoes, leaned against the headboard, and opened the book beside the bed.

A bit sleepy, flipped open a foreign Advanced Mathematics textbook to refresh himself.

...

The next day at around eight in the evening, Qiao Yu, who was reading, received a call from Director Tian, confirming some of his suspicions.

Because as soon as the call connected, the first thing Director Tian said was, "Has Elder Yuan’s verification result come out?"

Qiao Yu replied truthfully, "Grandfather Master hasn’t messaged me back yet, probably not, right?"

"Oh, then let me tell you some good news, on our side, the curves in the LMFDB database have mostly been completed, and so far the accuracy rate is one hundred percent."

Qiao Yu breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Does that mean my paper can be published directly?"

"Yes! I initially thought there might be some discrepancies, which may require further investigation into mismatched cases to clarify whether they were due to specific boundary conditions, calculation errors, or the limitations of the formulas themselves.

If so, the paper might need to discuss these extreme cases, exceptions, or potential possibilities and make corrections to these errors, but it turns out that’s not necessary. Qiao Yu, you did very well!"

Qiao Yu could hear that Director Tian’s tone was N times more excited than yesterday.

He roughly understood, it seemed that when checking the paper yesterday, the mentor didn’t have much confidence that his paper would pass the supercomputer test perfectly...

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have started getting so excited only today.

"Thank you, Director Tian, mainly because of your good guidance." Qiao Yu immediately complimented, offering a free rainbow cap.

"Don’t say things like that in the future, this is your achievement, I didn’t guide you much. By the way, do you know how to use the Ann. of Math submission system?"

Qiao Yu promptly replied, "Ah? I haven’t used it. Last time, Mr. Xue helped me with the submission. How about you help with the submission this time as well?"

"Hmm, then I’ll help you submit it later. But you still need to learn these things, I’ll let a senior brother teach you later. Are you sure you want to write your mom’s name as the second author? Research is a very serious matter, my suggestion is to only put your name. But this is your independently completed paper, I will respect your opinion."

Qiao Yu thought for a moment and asked, "Um, Director Tian, my mom indeed was the one who enlightened me when I was lost, in this situation, writing her name isn’t considered misconduct, right?"

"Hmm, it’s not. But strictly speaking, her contribution to this paper is very limited, in general, the author would list her in the acknowledgments. Also, when submitting the paper, it’s essential to clearly state the specific contributions of each author, especially for your paper."

Soon, Qiao Yu asked a second question: "These are all minor issues. Director Tian, my mom previously had pretty good grades. When she got pregnant with me, she didn’t take the college entrance exam, which she always regretted. So she’s planning to review for two or three years, and then take the college entrance exam as a social candidate. If she has this paper, would her chances of getting into college be higher?"
