"This function is crucial!"
The activation mode of the Supervision Law is similar to the Causality Law, but it yields more information. Of the feedback given to the brain, the only certain element is the position. In the case of complex, unintelligible codes, the position may span a certain area.
The feedback in his mind now leads to the function of the Riemann Conjecture. However, due to its complexity, he could barely understand the extended function analysis, thus the information perceived is extremely vague.
Zhao Yi could only rely on ’guessing’.
Over the course of several days, he studied the Supervision Law carefully and came to understand the feedback information. This feedback can be divided into two types: one is ’problematic’, which in the case of codes means there’s a ’bug’, often due to input errors or logical flaws.
The other type vaguely indicates ’incompleteness’.
’Incompleteness’ does not necessarily mean incorrectness. For computer algorithms, it means the algorithm has many repetitive computations. It suggests that the algorithm can be streamlined, indicating ’logical redundancy’.
"What could be incomplete about the function of the Riemann Conjecture? It’s already a conjecture in its natural state. No one has proven whether it is correct or not."
Zhao Yi, unable to fathom it, continued studying the function analysis.
His knowledge was clearly limited. Functions like complex variables and factorial functions, though he had a rough understanding, he had never studied systematically.
After studying intensively for a while, Zhao Yi simply put down the book and asked Xu Chao, "Brother Chao, do you understand the Riemann Conjecture?"
After resigning from his laboratory job, Xu Chao came straight to Zhengyang and pinned his future on Zhao Yi. He was practically penniless, with only his knowledge to rely on. He acted decisively.
Zhao Yi also provided reassurance to Xu Chao.
Firstly, he found a law firm and drafted a contract about technology profits, clearly defining both parties’ responsibilities and obligations, and ensured that Xu Chao had a 5% share.
Then, he paid Xu Chao a month’s salary in advance.
While ten thousand yuan did not sound like much, it was a substantial sum for Xu Chao, who had been unable to save much despite having worked for two years after receiving his doctorate.
With a contract, salary, and help finding a place to live, Xu Chao was completely reassured and could start his work with undivided attention.
Although Xu Chao was passionate about his work, he didn’t anticipate that most of his time would be consumed by studying the code of the Rubik’s cube calculator before he even started his main research.
The study could be said to be more of a learning process.
The thousands of core codes of the Rubik’s cube calculator were like the crystallization of algorithms, which fascinated Xu Chao. The more he studied, the more amazed he became.
This is the art of algorithms!
Through this, Xu Chao developed a new understanding of Zhao Yi’s abilities.
The codes of the Rubik’s cube calculator seemed to open a new path for him in writing algorithms. The lines of expressions and cycles of calls in it were brilliant, concise, and highly efficient. The integration of many efficient components resulted in a succinct and highly efficient whole.
Xu Chao’s gaze at Zhao Yi grew complex. He found that compared to Zhao Yi’s capabilities, his doctorate seemed like a joke.
At least in the field of algorithms, there were no grounds for comparison.
At this time, Xu Chao was studying the code. He was noting down some parts he didn’t understand to ask Zhao Yi all at once when he suddenly heard Zhao Yi asking about the ’Riemann Conjecture’.
"The Riemann Conjecture?"
The topic of conversation had changed so quickly that Xu Chao barely kept up with the pace. He thought about it and then said, "I’ve studied it, and I know a bit."
"Can you explain it to me?"
"You’ve proven the Collatz Conjecture, and you’re a renowned international mathematician, do you really need me to explain math to you?" Xu Chao said playfully.
Zhao Yi immediately frowned.
"Okay, alright..."
Xu Chao remembered that Zhao Yi was still in high school, laughed, changed the topic. He held a doctorate in computer science, a field closely tied to mathematics as the foundation of its application. To delve deeper into computer science, a good understanding of mathematics is crucial.
"When I was in grad school, I also encountered the Riemann Conjecture, let me see." He took the book from the table, scanned it for a few moments and then put it down. "Alright, I’ll explain some related functions to you, which you need to understand."
"First of all, since the exact location of prime numbers can’t be determined, over a hundred years ago, few mathematicians continued trying to predict the precise location of prime numbers. Instead, they treated the prime numbers as an entirety, which was Riemann’s particular strength."
"The Riemann Conjecture is an overall analysis of prime numbers, but to understand this conjecture, you need to be familiar with some basics, such as the harmonic infinity series, the Zeta function, and the Moebius function that evolved from the Euler product formula..."
"The name of the harmonic infinity series relates to the concept of harmonics in music, which are overtones above the fundamental frequency. Its expression is..."
"This formula was later proven by Oresme to be divergent..."
When Xu Chao explained, he tried to make it as concise as possible. However, involving many complex mathematical concepts still sounded arcane.
Zhao Yi felt like he couldn’t keep up.
"Ding-dong~~" freёwebnovel.com
Just as Xu Chao finished his explanation of the harmonic series, and Zhao Yi was summarizing what he had just learned, the doorbell suddenly rang.
Sun Liang had arrived.
Zhao Yi had arranged for Sun Liang’s visit to introduce him to his ’new job’. After letting Sun Liang in, he said, "Monkey, you came at the right time, listen to Dr. Sun explain some math."
