Chapter 1528: Chapter 723 Do You Call This Complicated!_2

Zhao Yi did not continue on this topic, for upon careful consideration, he knew that given Qian Zhijin’s level of mathematics, it was highly likely that he would not be able to participate in complex mathematical work, in other words, he could only tag along for the results.

For Qian Zhijin, this held no significant meaning; at most, it would bring him a sense of vanity, or to put it bluntly, more fodder for boasting.

By the time he reached the second floor of the Mathematical Center, he encountered a familiar figure.

"Andrew?"

"Zhao Yi?"

The person Zhao Yi saw was indeed Wiles, who, having appeared somewhat dispirited in the past, had improved a lot after coming to work at Yanhua University, at least not emanating such a dejected vibe anymore.

Of course, overall he still looked quite forlorn because he was unkempt and did not care about his external appearance.

Since coming to Yanhua University, Wiles had been mostly engaged in teaching. He had also been working hard on research, but lacking a definite direction, he simply picked up the conjecture of Grothendieck-Shimura again, making little progress.

However, Wiles’s capability was beyond doubt; he had participated in many small mathematical research projects and completed them very well, helping the Mathematical Center rack up a good number of results and adding plenty of numbers to the center’s publications.

Therefore, Wiles was highly respected and had become very popular. Last year, he applied to supervise doctoral students, and many students eagerly signed up because they knew Wiles was highly skilled, had completed numerous research projects, and offered not only learning opportunities but also abundant funding. Having a patient advisor for their thesis made graduating much easier.

Having become a popular professor again and being in an appealing environment, Wiles’s spirits had improved a lot.

Zhao Yi chatted with Wiles for a while, inquiring about his work and life as well as discussing research-related issues. He even offered a suggestion, "I think you can delve deeper into the research on Fermat’s Last Theorem, especially the analytic problems of large prime numbers of the theorem, you might achieve some results."

He hesitated for a moment before continuing, "You know about Professor Qian’s research group, right?"

"The 3D wave graph that forms a loop when the ends are connected?" Wiles’s eyes suddenly lit up. At his level, of course he knew what it implied if a finite 3D tremor wave graph were connected end to end.

That was an incredibly unimaginable outcome.

It was as if suggesting that if π were finite, it would become a recurring decimal. By expanding the idea, it seemed to perfectly interpret mathematics, fully deciphering the mysteries of numbers, as if analyzing the infinitely vast universe.

Zhao Yi continued, "I believe many mathematical research projects can explore in this direction; it might just be the direction of the future."

Wiles thought carefully about it and nodded earnestly, "I understand. Thank you, Zhao Yi."

"You’re welcome."

After talking with Wiles for a while, Zhao Yi left with Qian Zhijin. Upon arriving at the office, they saw that the middle table was piled with documents, Zhou Li was scratching his scalp on the side, and Zhang Rongkun was busy writing and revising.

"Knock, knock, knock."

Zhao Yi knocked on the door several times, and Qian Zhijin walked in, announcing, "Guess who’s here!"

"Zhao Yi!"

"Academician Zhao!"

Zhang Rongkun and Zhou Li both looked up at the same time.

Zhou Li, more familiar with Zhao Yi, immediately asked, "How was the trip to the moon? I’m so jealous you got to go to the moon!"

"It was awful!"

Zhao Yi said with some gloominess, "It’s a journey to be avoided if possible. Long-term weightlessness is really uncomfortable."

"Now, that’s a bit of a humblebrag!" Zhou Li pulled at the corner of his mouth. He really wanted to go, feeling that a trip to the moon would make his whole life worthwhile, and everything would be justified.

"I’m serious."

Zhao Yi shook his head, not continuing the topic, "I heard that your research has concluded?"

"Yes, Academician Zhao," Zhang Rongkun said, "The entire proof process has been completed; now we’re just organizing the material, which is really voluminous."

Zhou Li complained, "Yes, it’s too complex."

"Could you roughly talk about the process?" Zhao Yi asked, his gaze on Zhang Rongkun, knowing that Zhou Li’s expertise in fields like analytic number theory was limited and that the research was surely led by Zhang Rongkun.

Zhang Rongkun nodded, "We did as you said, using hyperbolic functions to cover the solution of the 3D tremor wave graph, and then proved..."

"Blah blah blah."

This explanation lasted for nearly half an hour.

Zhao Yi listened patiently, nodding along. With his proficiency, he had no problem understanding, even if the explanation was only general; he could analyze the entire process based on the content.

After everything was said, Zhang Rongkun didn’t think Zhao Yi could possibly understand, because the content was just too much.

Zhao Yi, however, spoke up, "Your proof process is correct, but there are several steps in the middle that are unnecessary."

"The first is after doing the hyperbolic function, you can prove by combining it with the central point of the waveform graph—and then deduce that—"

"Also, when doing the projection function—" freёweɓnovel.com

"Moreover, the topological analysis doesn’t need to be that complicated. If you think from a multi-dimensional perspective, the topology is—"

"Blah blah blah—"

Zhao Yi went into more detail than Zhang Rongkun and explained even more thoroughly, as if he were a teacher explaining to a student.
