From small town academic to chief scientist

After Zhou Yi boarded the plane and left, Yuan Zhen and Lu Daosheng returned to the office with Zhou Yi's manuscript.

Cao Jin looked at the things in their hands and said doubtfully:

"What do you have in your hands?"

The two said covertly:

"No, I didn't take anything."

"Um?"

Cao Jin looked at the two of them calmly.

Yuan Zhen immediately surrendered and said:

"Director~, Zhou Shen's manuscript paper, Zhou Shen wanted to throw it away at that time, so we put it away."

When Cao Jin heard this, he immediately said righteously:

"How come this kind of thing is in your hands? Give it to the academy and let the academy take care of it."

Lu Daosheng complained in his heart, it is you who should keep it safe for the college.

But he still had no choice but to hand over the manuscript paper in his hand.

A thick stack of calculation and derivation papers was all given to Cao Jin, and Cao Jin said:

"Go and get busy."

The moment Zhou Yi stepped off the plane, the heat wave that hit him still made Zhou Yi feel the unique aristocratic flavor of Shangjing.

After leaving the airport, Zhou Yi took a taxi and went straight to Shuimu University.

While in the taxi, Zhou Yi called Qiu Chengtong.

"Hello, Teacher Qiu? I'm Zhou Yi."

"Zhou Yi, is the project finished? Why did you remember to call me?"

Qiu Chengtong asked.

Zhouyi:.,

What you said, can't I call you if nothing happens?

"My work on the State Grid project has been completed. Academician Cao and his colleagues should be able to complete all the work in the next few days. I will arrive at Shuimu University soon."

Zhou Yi said.

"Then let me ask Xiao Wanyi to pick you up at the school gate, and I will also solve your admission problem later."

Qiu Chengtong said on the other end of the phone.

Not long after, after Zhou Yi paid the fare, he arrived at this prestigious school with a history of more than a hundred years.

As soon as Zhou Yi got off the car, he saw Xiao Wanyi wearing a pink JK skirt.

"Junior, hee hee."

Xiao Wanyi said hello from afar, while holding an umbrella and walking towards Zhou Yi.

The fair skin looks particularly delicate in the sun.

Zhou Yi carried large and small bags and said:

"Excuse me, senior."

"Hehe, no trouble, I will lead the way for my junior."

Xiao Wanyi said with a smile.

Not long after, Zhou Yi followed Xiao Wanyi's footsteps and came to a room that belonged to Zhou Yi. It had a separate bathroom and could even cook. It was like a smaller version of a house.

"Junior, put aside your salutes and come with me to meet Teacher Qiu and the office where you will be located in the future."

Xiao Wanyi said with a smile.

Ever since Xiao Wanyi saw it, her smile never stopped.

Zhou Yi nodded and said:

"good."

Not long after, Zhou Yi came to a relatively large office, and Qiu Chengtong was also inside.

Qiu Chengtong saw Zhou Yi and said directly:

"I didn't expect you to solve their problems so quickly."

Zhouyi said:

"I happened to have some inspiration from the paper I wrote before, so I was able to solve it quickly."

Qiu Chengtong nodded and said:

"That's good, just solve it. This is your and Wanyi's future office. Everyone's graduation requirements are different, so I'll tell you.

Regarding Zhouyi's graduation application, my requirements are very simple. At least prove one world-class conjecture, not limited to any direction.

However, I do not recommend that you continue to study the ABC conjecture here. This thing is currently a bottomless pit. Instead, you can start studying the number theory conjecture related to it.

For example, Goldbach's conjecture, Kakutani's conjecture, Polignac's conjecture or the form of Polignac's conjecture K=1 are all good ways to start. "

Zhou Yi smiled bitterly and said:

"Indeed, the ABC conjecture is indeed too difficult. As far as my current work is concerned, I don't know how much time it will take to completely solve it. Even if I have a certain idea, it may not be correct if I continue."

Qiu Chengtong said:

"Yes, it is very difficult. In terms of importance, the conjectures I mentioned above are not as important as the ABC conjecture, but they are easier. For example, studying the form of Polignac's conjecture K=1 is Can’t we study Zhou’s conjecture in number theory first?”

Zhou Yi nodded. What his teacher said were all facts. Among the several conjectures just mentioned, the simplest may be Zhou's conjecture.

The second is the twin prime conjecture.

The form of Polignac's conjecture K=1 is the twin prime conjecture.

The Polignac Conjecture was born in 1849. Alphonse de Polignac proposed that for all natural numbers k, there are infinitely many pairs of prime numbers (p, p + 2k). The case of k = 1 is the twin prime conjecture.

Qiu Chengtong really couldn't figure out why Zhou Yi wanted to do quantity. Wouldn't it be nice to follow him in differential geometry?

"Actually, you can also do differential geometry with me. Geometry is the most essential way to understand the world."

Qiu Chengtong still wanted to persuade, and said.

Zhou Yi shook his head when he heard this and said:

"I want to give it a try."

Very stubborn.

Qiu Chengtong's inner evaluation.

"Okay, I had some manuscripts on number theory when I was studying geometry. I can lend them to you to take a look at."

Qiu Chengtong said with a hint of helplessness.

Zhou Yi's eyes lit up when he heard this. Sure enough, his teacher was just like the legend, and he was willing to share some of his ideas.

Zhou Yi has always been working behind closed doors and has no way to communicate with the outside world. He occasionally communicates with Schultz but does not gain much.

As for the rest, they either have different research directions or have no common language.

If there are some other different ideas, it may be able to help Zhou Yi prove the ABC conjecture.

This is also the reason why many people want to learn from famous teachers.

Because some of the ideas that some masters came up with while studying a certain mathematical problem are some ideas of a certain conjecture.

It's just that they didn't know it at the time.

This idea is usually recorded in a manuscript or in the mind of the big boss.

When you are talking about your research problem, your teacher can choose from many ideas the one that best suits the situation and give it to you.

"Thank you, Teacher Qiu."

Zhou Yi said gratefully.

Qiu Chengtong nodded and said:

"Wanyi, your graduation requirements are much simpler than those of Zhouyi. Three core articles and one area of ​​SCI."

Xiao Wanyi nodded and said:

"I will work hard, Teacher Qiu."

"Don't think about relying on others for help, or asking someone to help write for you. You have to go down the road of mathematics yourself to know the scenery ahead. Shan Peng is your role model."

Qiu Chengtong said.

Xiao Wanyi said:

"A good teacher, Sister Shan is my role model."

Qiu Chengtong was silent for a moment and said:

"With your current age, the honors you have received, and the papers you have published, I think you can do better than her."

When Xiao Wanyi heard this, her eyes lit up and she said:

"Teacher Qiu, I will work hard!"

Since he has decided to be a companion of mathematics, who would be willing to be weaker than others, except Zhouyi of course.

"I'm not discriminating, old man. This graduation requirement is customized based on your current level. With Zhou Yi's current level, old man, I can't possibly ask Zhou Yi to publish two, three, and one area SCIs. Then he can just start from the field of Zhou Yi's geometry. Just dig a little deeper;

I will not raise my standards for you, Xiao Wanyi, and ask you to prove world-class conjectures. The original intention is to develop a study plan suitable for you based on your level. "

Qiu Chengtong explained it so that both of them would not have other ideas.
