From small town academic to chief scientist

Zhou Yi spent five days commenting on each of the papers he drew, and provided revision comments and references.

After completing this step, Zhou Yi emailed the paper back.

During this period, Zhou Yi also responded to Anna Cariani, Maynard, Ivanets, Schulz and others' doubts about the paper.

They are all reviewers and have a very high grasp and understanding of the paper. They also asked Zhou Yi to modify some small details to make the paper more perfect.

For a world-class conjecture to be proven, it must be perfect in all directions.

Regarding Hilbert's 18th question last time, no one could find fault with Zhou Yi's paper because it was given by the system and not proved step by step by Zhou Yi himself.

Zhou Yi speculated that the reason why the system recognized and approved the task may be that the paper as a whole is generally error-free, unlike Andrew Wiles who made a fatal mistake because of an obvious one.

After finishing the trivial matters, Zhou Yi had already begun to study the twin prime conjecture and the 3n+1 conjecture.

See where your analytical method can be improved to solve these conjectures.

Zhou Yi didn't go out until noon.

While Zhou Yi was eating, Xia Xue's phone call came.

Zhou Yi answered the phone,

"Senior?"

Xia Xue's voice came directly.

Zhouyi said:

"Well, what's up, schoolgirl."

I just made a video call last night, and now I'm calling again. Zhou Yi guessed that something happened.

"Dean Bao asked me to ask you, do the scientific research assistants still perform their functions in the cultural sector of Daxia?"

It turned out to be this matter. During this period, Zhou Yi had been delayed in perfecting the analytical method, proving Bill's conjecture, and going abroad to win the prize.

So this sector has been ignored.

Zhouyi said:

"Of course."

Xia Xue said:

"Dean Bao said that he has applied for a group of special scientific research funds to improve this section, and contacted the School of Liberal Arts and School of History of Beijing University; the School of Liberal Arts of Shuimu University and other famous schools of literature and history to participate in the improvement of this section. Function."

Zhouyi said:

"That's okay. It should have been perfected a long time ago. When all the sections are completed, maybe we can join forces with the outer courtyard for translation."

Xia Xue said:

"Yes. Then the deans of the School of Liberal Arts of Shangjing University and the Dean of the School of Liberal Arts of Shuimu University will come to discuss with you in person. As for the translation section, it is also being carried out at the same time. This is a large-scale national cultural project applied by a multi-school alliance."

Zhou Yi took his mobile phone and said:

"Okay, just give them my contact information."

After talking about business, Zhou Yi and Xia Xuerin exchanged a few words and then hung up the phone.

After packing up the dishes, he went to his dormitory.

But just as Zhou Yi stepped into the door, the phone rang.

"Hey, hello, is this Zhou Yi?"

A strong voice sounded on the other end of the phone.

Zhouyi replied:

"It's me, I'm Zhou Yi."

"Hello Zhou Yi, I am Jiang Mingshan, dean of the School of Liberal Arts at Beijing University, and I am going to ask you to meet. When do you think you will be free?"

The person on the phone said very politely.

Zhouyi said:

"I have time in the afternoon, and I can do it now."

"Now then?"

"Okay! Come directly to the Yanqi Lake *** office."

Zhou Yi said.

Not long after, Zhou Yi returned from his room to the next door to his office.

This office was temporarily borrowed by Zhou Yi from Xiao Wanyi.

At this time, Jiang Mingshan brought a group of people and even Qiu Cheng together.

Zhou Yi had a question mark on his face, no, are you making such a big move?

There were also a few people wearing jackets, which made Zhou Yi a little panicked.

Wearing this kind of jacket here has to remind people of the length.

Qiu introduced it immediately:

"This is a certain director from the Cultural Tourism Department. This is Jiang Mingshan, dean of the School of Liberal Arts at Beijing University. This is the School of History."

After a series of introductions, Zhou Yi said:

"Hello."

Over at Guaiguai Cultural Promotion, Zhou Yi was a little surprised.

Those who do their own mathematical research are always on the same page as them.

I saw the leader said:

"Hello, Mr. Zhou Yi, I won't introduce myself too much. It's mainly because of your previous idea. After reporting it to Chongqing University, our experts carefully analyzed it and felt that there is much to be done.

This is a good opportunity to promote our culture to foreign high school and low-level intellectuals. "

Zhou Yi complained that the low-level intellectuals you are talking about must be a master's degree student, or some elite undergraduate students.

Qiu on the side said:

"I think this work is very meaningful. Compared with the misunderstanding of our culture in the world, perhaps this work can allow foreign intellectuals to understand us and prevent some of our culture from being seized by other countries. Of course, this layout will take longer and will not be short-term. The effect will certainly not be seen over time, but towering trees also grow from small saplings.”

Zhouyi said:

"The function of scientific research assistant is actually not that important, right? You can work together and develop this kind of software."

I saw them shaking their heads and saying:

"We need an influential guru-level figure to spread the word."

Zhou Yi glanced at his teacher. How could Qiu not understand Zhou Yi's eyes and said directly:

"I am not the old man to promote, but you. You have great potential to become a new generation of mathematics masters in Daxia."

Zhouyi:...

The big guy in the black jacket said:

"We also learned a lot about you, Zhou Yi, before we came here. There are very few people in history who have achieved such great achievements in mathematics at the age of 19. Compared with your transformation and application to become a scientist in technology development, we above all think that you have become a generation of mathematics." Master might make more sense.

This is a great encouragement to the nation's self-confidence, and a generation of young mathematics masters will also be able to transform into other directions. Therefore, we hope to have strong basic disciplines as solid support, so that we can continue to innovate science and technology. Maintain sufficient scientific research potential.

The most important thing is that you are young! "

Zhou Yi felt that this person didn't look like someone from the cultural tourism industry, but rather...

But I haven’t seen it on TV or in the news.

Jiang Mingshan, dean of the School of Liberal Arts at Beijing University, said:

"Zhou Yi, there is no doubt about your potential. Only celebrity effect can make geniuses around the world notice your scientific research assistant, and then they will explore the functions inside, or insert advertisements when they use certain functions.

Maybe they will be bored at first, but after a while, we will be confident enough to impress them. "

Zhouyi:...

"So what do I need to do?"

Zhou Yi asked.

"The right to use this function is temporarily left to us, so don't worry about it."

Jiang Mingshan said.

Zhou Yi heard this and said:

"Previously, Dean Bao and his colleagues were in charge. It's okay to let you take charge. Let's discuss it with Dean Bao."

Rather than putting someone he just met in charge, Zhou Yi might as well let Bao Jingnan be the main person in charge.

The power had better be in his hands.

An acquaintance knows the roots.

As for Zhou Yi himself, as a layman, he just didn't interfere.

Everyone said thoughtfully:

"Okay, then let him be the main person in charge of the University Literature and History Alliance."

After the negotiation was completed, only Qiu and the man in the jacket were in the room.

I saw the big guy saying:

"National rejuvenation is not only the rejuvenation of military, science and technology, and economy, but also the rejuvenation of culture. All four are indispensable. You are still young, less than twenty years old;

According to Mr. Qiu, you will be the strongest mathematician in the world in the next 20 years; by that time, our technology may have fully caught up, and someone will be needed to take the helm of technology. And you, Zhou Yi, I think , that’s who.

I value long-term strategies more than temporary applications. "

Zhouyi:...

Zhou Yi looked embarrassed, don't brag, it makes me feel embarrassed.

I saw the boss said:

"Don't think I'm bragging. Your two papers have helped us solve a lot of things, haven't they? It's just a small test. Since you have decided to study abroad, you must study hard and let them see the wisdom of our Daxia people.

What happened with Mr. Qiu and Mr. Yang tells us that Daxia can produce top-notch wise men, so we should give them a deep impression. "

Zhou Yi's throat surged, and he was about to ask who this boss was. Do you want to be sprayed?

Seeing the help in Qiu's eyes, he shut up obediently and said:

"good."

The boss nodded and said:

"The job of scientific research assistant will be handed over to you by someone, but this function should be oriented domestically first, and then abroad."

"good."

Zhou Yi had no choice but to repeat this.

At this time Qiu said:

"Just wait for me here and I'll go see them off."

Zhou Yi sneaked into his office and prepared to read documents on his desktop computer, but Xiao Wanyi looked at Zhou Yi with wide eyes, very curious about what was going on.

Zhou Yi said lightly,

"As for my APP scientific research assistant, our country's cultural sector was handed over to their professionals. They even applied for a project specifically for this purpose."

Xiao Wanyi stuck out her tongue and continued to read her documents.

Not long after, Qiu came back and said:

"I can't say the identity of that person, old man, but it doesn't hurt to know each other. Their purpose is also very simple. I believe you can see it."

Zhou Yi nodded and said:

"An alternative form of cultural propaganda. If high-level intellectuals think our country's culture is good, other ordinary people will definitely follow suit."

Qiu nodded and said:

"Yes, that's the truth."

Zhou Yi understood instantly and said with a smile:

"This is a big game."

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. What stage has your manuscript review reached? When will the results be available?"

Qiu asked directly.

Zhouyi said:

"In the past few days, it should be coming soon. I asked several reviewers and I have corrected a few small flaws."

Qiu nodded and said:

"Okay, we have prepared all the procedures for you, and you will also be admitted with a full scholarship. Try to win the Ramanujan Award and the Kohl Award this year or next year."

Zhouyi said:

"I will work hard teacher."

"Well, I'm going to get busy now. Let's develop your analytical method. I think there's a lot to be done."

Qiu gave final instructions.

Then Qiu left.

Zhou Yi also sat in his seat and began to read the documents.

As for the Ramanujan Award, it is named after the talented Indian mathematician Ramanujan and is jointly awarded by the International Center for Theoretical Physics (ICTP), the Indian Department of Science and Technology (DST) and the International Mathematical Union (IMU).

It is awarded annually to young mathematicians from developing countries who are under 45 years old on December 31 of that year and have made outstanding scientific research achievements.

Many people from the golden generation of Beijing University in Daxia have obtained it, such as Zhang Wei, Yun Zhiwei, Xu Chengyang, and Liu Yiyi;

As for the Kohl Award, the golden generation of Beijing University has also won it. Xu Chengyang is the first person in China to win this award.

The Cole Prize is divided into the Cole Algebra Prize and the Cole Number Theory Prize, which are awarded every three years. Zhou Yi feels that this award is relatively unreliable.

The Federal Mathematical Society will certainly not make an exception.

Winning a Sloan Research Award may be more reliable than the Cole Award for Number Theory.

While Zhou Yi was concentrating on reading the literature, the deans of the liberal arts colleges of Shangjing University and Shuimu University came again, bringing with them several programmers from the two universities.

It seems that he is ready to do something serious.

Zhouyi did not hesitate and gave them all the codes that belonged to the literary part.

I saw Duan Shichuan, dean of the School of Liberal Arts of Shuimu University, saying:

“This project covers the liberal arts and history schools of almost all universities, and each school is basically assigned a task. The scale is unprecedentedly large.”

Jiang Mingshan also said with excitement:

"Is it possible that this project will be recorded in the annals of history? It is equivalent to rearranging a lot of literature and history books, similar to the Yongle Grand Ceremony?"

Duan Shichuan shook his head and said:

"That's probably much worse. The Yongle Dadian covers everything. Ours covers literature and history at most."

Jiang Mingshan suddenly smiled mysteriously and said:

"That's not necessarily the case."

After speaking, he glanced at Zhouyi. Duan Shichuan seemed to have some understanding, with a hint of excitement.

After a while, the codes were given to them, and Zhou Yi also opened the permissions.

As for how to do it specifically, it is probably led by these two people and Bao Jingnan.

In the next few days, Zhou Yi also received a reply from the journal, confirming that the missing person's manuscript was correct and was finally published.

At this time, Zhou Yi's account had already received millions of magnesium gold.

This allowed Zhou Yi to complete the second task that he had never been able to complete.

In addition to the 50,000 magnesium gold awarded by the Veblen Geometry Prize, Shuimu University also awarded 300,000 yuan.

Zhou Yi's current deposits have reached 9 million.

Zhou Yi muttered silently in his dormitory:

"Submit task two."

"Ding, congratulations to the host for completing task two, earning 500 points and 10,000 math experience."

Zhou Yi recited silently and opened the task properties panel.

[Host: Zhouyi.

Mathematics: LV5, 0/300,000; (If you reach LV5 in mathematics, why not engage in application? Or expand into other subjects, you will find that the whole world is yours!)

Points: 3140, enhanced version of focus capsule*20, lottery*9. 】

Zhou Yi saw that the math level reached LV5, and sighed that it was not easy, and finally reached LV5.

At this moment, a cold voice sounded again.

[Task 2 is released. In one fell swoop, use analytical methods to solve a heavyweight number theory conjecture.

Requirements: Choose from the following guesses:

3n+1 conjecture, ABC conjecture, Polignac conjecture (can only prove the twin prime conjecture), Goldbach conjecture.

Bonus: Math experience? ? ? 10,000 (depending on the difficulty of guessing), 5 lottery chances, 2000 points, a mysterious item. 】

[Release task three, Hilbert's Eighteen Questions have strong application forms, especially Kepler's conjecture and Newton's problem. The former Claude Elwood Shannon was founded by studying these two problems. They studied information theory and became the ancestors of this profession. In fact, they were actually mathematicians.

Requirements: Apply the algorithm in the paper to at least three directions, and it should be at least a national-level large-scale project.

Bonus: Math experience? ? ? (as appropriate), experience in applied disciplines involved? ? ? (Depending on the situation), 9 draws, 1,500 points. Note: Separate settlement is not possible. 】

The system released two tasks at once, and both of them took a lot of time to complete. Neither of them was easy.

Especially for task three, at least before returning to China, Zhou Yi had no chance at all.

PS: Thank you all for your monthly votes. Happy National Day. Watching other authors draw prizes, I will be able to draw once next month. Please bless me for being possessed by the European Emperor.

As for additional updates, there will definitely be additional updates. I will write a separate chapter later to explain it in detail. (Free word count.)
