Chapter 151: Chapter 141: Commendation from the Province
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Zhao Yi stayed at home for a week, refusing to step out of the community gate.
The security in the community was quite good.
The property management took safety issues seriously. Knowing that someone in the community had solved a world-famous mathematical problem, they almost wanted to put up a sign at the entrance saying "Mathematical Culture Community." They also tightened the security, not allowing journalists to disturb the residents.
Many reporters went home empty-handed after several days of trying, unable to gain entry from the security guards.
Some disguised themselves as ordinary residents and sneaked into the community in various ways, but with security guards patrolling around Zhao Yi’s building, they were eventually caught and escorted out.
"Want an interview?"
"Not unless Zhao Yi agrees!"
That’s the attitude of the property management.
But their capabilities had limits, and they could only handle ordinary reporters.
As the news of the Collatz Conjecture being proven spread, more and more media arrived, and even some non-journalists showed up.
It was Friday morning.
Still half-asleep, Zhao Yi heard knocking on the door and saw it was only just half past seven.
He had become lazy!
Having skipped school for several days, he had been indulging in sleep for mornings, staying in bed until eight out of habit.
"Knock, knock, knock... "
As the knocking continued, an anxious voice could be heard, "Zhao Yi! Zhao Yi! It’s me, Uncle Lin! Open the door~~"
"Coming!"
Zhao Yi called out to the door, put on a coat, and lazily went to open it in his slippers.
Lin Xudong was energetic, standing at the door with several colleagues in neat police uniforms. They were all looking curiously at Zhao Yi.
Zhao Yi had become the most famous person in Zhengyang recently.
"Did you just wake up? Hurry, get dressed, tidy up. Mayor Zhou is coming soon!"
Lin Xudong waved his colleagues inside while saying, "Help tidy up a bit! Make sure it’s clean... "
"Mayor Zhou?" freewebnσvel.cøm
Zhao Yi was stunned but quickly intervened, "No, no. Don’t bother!"
Everyone looked at him.
Zhao Yi hurriedly cleaned up the electronic components on the sofa and floor, then turned on the robot’s switch and clearly commanded word by word, "Dongdong, return to the first charging station and charge!"
The screen on the robot’s belly lit up.
With the rotating light on its head flashing and the clear electronic sound coming out, it said, "Yes, Master. Returning to the first charging station, charging, and will execute immediately!"
After finishing the command, the robot moved towards the living room corner and then into the master bedroom after twisting its body on both sides.
It went out of sight.
Several policemen, including Lin Xudong, were dumbfounded, and one of them exclaimed, "Zhao Yi, where did you buy this robot? It’s so high-tech!"
"It’s for experimentation, not sold on the market. I just entered some code, it’s not a big deal." Zhao Yi didn’t want to explain too much. They wouldn’t understand if he went into details.
As for the technology and design, it would be better to discuss it with professionals like Xu Chao and Yuan Zhongchen, who would be more in tune.
"No wonder you solved that math problem!"
"Amazing! A self-made robot with such delicate arms!"
"And the screen you made is also good. It feels so sharp, even better than my work computer..."
"O__O is..."
Zhao Yi felt like spitting blood.
Really...
They couldn’t even grasp the main points. He wasn’t some alchemist from legends who could manually make screens and robotic arms, was he?
"Can we tidy up now?" Someone asked. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
"Yes, yes! It’s so kind of you to come over and help me clean up the room." Zhao seemed not to have grasped their point either.
A chatty fellow replied, "Do you think we wanted to come? The Chief knew that Captain Lin lived nearby, and since our team wasn’t busy, he told us to welcome Mayor Zhou."
"..."
This day is not going to be an easy chat.
Lin Xudong opened the window and suddenly frowned, asking, "By the way, Zhao Yi, what is the name of your robot? Why does it sound familiar...?"
"Dong! Dong!" Zhao Yi said confidently, "I just wanted it to move better. For example, the mechanical arms and fingers are not very flexible, so I needed to design some more detailed judgment code. Actually, this is closely related to the operation of the camera shaking its head... "
Zhao began to explain with professional terminology.
As Lin Xudong listened, his mind was a mess, but he didn’t want to show his confusion. Occasionally, he would nod seriously and add, "That’s right!"
"Absolutely!"
"That’s what I would do too!"
As their conversation went on, Lin Xudong completely forgot the question he had just asked.
Half past eight.
A group of people appeared downstairs. The first to arrive were not Mayor Zhou but a large group of media reporters. They rushed up to Zhao Yi’s home at lightning speed.
Zhao Yi stepped out of his door to give the reporters an opportunity to ask questions.
He could not keep avoiding them forever.
Many reporters had made several trips, and it was time for Zhao to accept an interview out of consideration for them.
The reporters handed over the microphone, and many of them asked simultaneously, "Zhao Yi, we heard that you solved the Collatz Conjecture while deducing ’Zhao’s Filter’. Can we say that ’Zhao’s Filter’ is more complex than the Collatz Conjecture?"
