Genius of the Rules-Style System

Chapter 210: Chapter 173: The Significant Meaning of Something Incomprehensible _2

So reports began to emerge.

For instance, "Professor Feng of Jinning University: Zhao Yi is just a high school student!"

The content of the article is about Professor Feng of Jinning University saying in an interview that Zhao Yi is just a high school student, lacking professional advanced mathematical knowledge. Perhaps we can expect him to achieve something in the future, but now he needs to systematically study mathematics.

Following that, it said, "Zhao Yi has published his latest mathematical research paper in ’Mathematical Progress,’ one of the top four authoritative journals."

There’s also--

"Professor Li Yilai: Zhao Yi unlikely to achieve further accomplishments in mathematics."

Similar to the content above, it reminded everyone about Li Yilai’s previous interview comments and then mentioned Zhao Yi publishing a paper in a top-tier journal.

This report also mentioned: "So far, Li Yilai has not published any paper in any of the top four or top ten mathematics journals in the world, while Zhao Yi has already published two."

Such face-slapping reports are indeed attractive.

Many online media outlets noticed that similar reports received a lot of clicks and comments, so they immediately followed the trend. Even Li Lin, guest of the show "Brain Power Burst" who was known for his "non-genius" comments, had his comments dug up by the media.

In reality, Li Lin was somewhat wronged.

Ever since he commented on Zhao Yi, he gained the nickname "non-genius" online, and his influence on the program decreased because netizens familiar with the story didn’t take him seriously. They felt that Li Lin had no vision to say that Zhao Yi was not a mathematical genius.

Now, people in the mathematics field online, including Li Yilai, who has a conflict with Zhao Yi, never said for sure that Zhao Yi is "not a mathematical genius." At most, they said it was "difficult to achieve accomplishments in mathematics" like Li Yilai. Li Lin would certainly not say such a thing.

Li Lin is a public figure who has also been interviewed by reporters. He said, "Everyone is talking about him, but I don’t want to talk about him." He then joked with a bitter smile, "I’m already a ’non-genius.’"

The media doesn’t care about what Li Lin says now; they only care about what he said before.

Li Lin was added to the criticism, and the report’s title was directly-- "Dr. Li Lin: Zhao Yi is not a Mathematical Genius."

Li Lin’s popularity is quite high, attracting more news clicks than the combined reports of Professor Feng of Jinning University and Li Yilai, accounting for only one-tenth of the total.

A huge number of reports.

A lot of praise.

A lot of criticism...

The turnaround of online public opinion became more interesting, lasting a whole day, until people remembered something at this point.

"What kind of paper did Zhao Yi publish?"

"What’s it about?"

"Why was it published in the authoritative ’Mathematical Progress’?"

Then the heat went down because ordinary people didn’t care about it anymore, for a very simple reason--

They couldn’t understand it.

...

Back at school.

Classroom of Elite Class A.

Students were also discussing the online topic about Zhao Yi. As the heat of Zhao Yi’s paper on the Internet was about to subside, the protagonist sat among them, and they were naturally very curious.

Zhao Linlin asked with interest, "Zhao Yi, what exactly is that irregular three-dimensional tremor waveform thing you wrote about?"

"It sounds very complex..."

Hu Tianyan, who is sitting on the other side, glanced over, seemingly demonstrating how to be a quiet listener.

Lin Xiaoqing perks up her ears.

Wang Jian, who is sitting behind, nudges Zhao Yi, "Come on, tell us. I read the news yesterday when I got home. The suffix seems to be related to some mathematical conjecture. Did you solve another mathematical conjecture?"

"Really?!"

"No way!"

"The Internet didn’t mention it, Zhao Yi, what’s going on? Tell us."

A few students gathered around him.

Zhao Yi glanced from side to side, pressed his forehead with force, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Alright, let me explain. The irregular three-dimensional tremor waveform is a kind of graph, just like the plane analytic representation y=x is a straight line." freewebnoveℓ.com

"Oh~~"

A group of people perked up, as they understood what he was saying.

Zhao Yi continued, "I created a function whose analytic graph is called the three-dimensional tremor waveform. This graph is irregular, mainly because of prime numbers."

"To understand my function, you need to understand the Riemann Conjecture first. You all know Riemann, right?"

The group of people nodded or shook their heads.

Regardless of everyone’s reactions, Zhao Yi continued, "In one of Riemann’s papers, he proposed a conjecture based on Euler’s Identity by setting the variable S."

"This is the Riemann Function, which, under certain circumstances, all..."

"And the three-dimensional tremor waveform is an extension of the Riemann Conjecture. It’s a function inferred by setting values. I call it function shaping..."

"So..."

Zhao Yi was really explaining seriously and as simply as possible, but after only about five minutes, the people surrounding him had left.

Looking around.

Zhao Linlin was resting her head on the table.

Hu Tianyan put her long legs back under the table, twirling a pen, lost in thought.

Wang Jian in the back began flipping coins. freeweɓnøvel.com

Lin Xiaoqing in front didn’t look any different, just no longer leaning against his desk.

Everyone else had walked away.

Zhao Yi looked up and realized there was still someone watching him. It was none other than Niu Lianhua, who was preparing for the math class.
