Chapter 212: Chapter 174: Non-Existent Function Construction Method
Many people in the academic circle are discussing the ’Three-dimensional Tremor Waveform’.
A considerable number of mathematic researchers are justifying its shaping process, and several teams have announced their plans to use computers to verify its results.
Wait.
The publication of the ’Three-dimensional Tremor Waveform’ paper has caused quite a stir in the mathematical community, but in reality, it didn’t have an impact on Zhao Yi’s life, as people around him were merely intrigued but not really discussing the issue.
This certainly is a bit depressing. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
It’s slightly disappointing when no one understands your accomplishment, though luckily Xu Chao could say a few words. However, Xu Chao is more concerned with the sales of "Zhao’s Screening Method", and the development of the robot program coming next. He is always working in the studio, constantly modifying code packages and utilizing the ’Three-dimensional Tremor Waveform’ to create a special encryption program.
Basically, said...
It’s all about money!
There is another matter that Xu Chao is concerned about.
As soon as Zhao Yi opened the door he heard Xu Chao ask, "Isn’t the aunt from the neighboring building you mentioned quite far and chubby, wearing a big braid, and kind of trembles when she walks?"
Zhao Yi pondered for a while, cautiously asked back, "Is she pretty?"
Xu Chao immediately darkened his face, gnashing his teeth and said, "She stopped me today and insisted that I dine at her home, which gave me quite a shock."
Zhao Yi’s eyes brightened on hearing this, and his rarely present inner flaming gossip was ignited, "So, did you go? How was it? Was the aunt particularly enthusiastic?"
"Indeed, she was very enthusiastic!"
Xu Chao took a deep breath, his fists clenching as though he wanted to beat someone. "I said ’I prefer someone who’s younger than me," and immediately wanted to leave. There were quite a few people around at that time..."
"..."
Zhao Yi was dumbfounded, picturing the scenario and struggling to hold back his laughter.
"Later on, I found out that the aunt wanted to introduce me to a girlfriend!" When recalling what happened today, Xu Chao felt too embarrassed to step out of his door.
"Pfft..."
Unable to suppress his laughter anymore, Zhao Yi hurriedly tried to smooth things over, "I actually meant that the last time. Perhaps it was a misunderstanding, don’t you think?" fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
Without uttering a word, Xu Chao just looked at Zhao Yi, with a ’you’re deliberately doing this’ expression in his eyes.
"Brother Chao! Haha! Don’t be mad!"
Zhao Yi quickly tried to reason, "It’s okay, everyone knows it’s a misunderstanding, don’t take it to heart. That Aunt is quite passionate; who knows, she might be swooned by the way you reacted..."
"Ahem, a beautiful girlfriend can be introduced by her. I think you should consider it..."
"Blah Blah~"
Through continuous talking, Zhao Yi finally managed to distract Xu Chao. A girlfriend, to him who had been single for so long, was certainly very tempting. Nevertheless, Xu Chao adamantly expressed that he does not need others to play matchmaker, he preferred to handle his emotional affairs himself.
"Doing it yourself?"
Zhao Yi tilted his head while urging for the work on the code package and algorithm package. "Brother Chao, we need to speed things up. The hardware will arrive in a few days, and it would be best if we could assemble everything by May. Then, we’ll need to make a trip to Yanhua University."
This had been agreed upon.
Once the code package and algorithm package had been completed, there would still be a series of program improvements left to complete, which Xu Chao would not be able to handle alone. They decided to delegate some of the work to the Intelligent and Automation Laboratory.
The testing site for the shopping system of the robot would also involve the Intelligent and Automation Laboratory, and they could then negotiate the technology transfer aspect with the company.
Zhao Yi still valued this project very much.
The reason being, money.
Despite not being short on money at the moment, more money is always better. The high cost of living in the capital due to expensive housing and high commodity prices makes life very difficult.
With money, everything becomes easier to handle.
...
Meanwhile...
The influence of the ’Three-dimensional Tremor Waveform’ continues to ferment.
Zhao Yi was interviewed by Nanjiang TV in the classroom. The reporter was still Liu Huimin.
Liu Huimin hoped that Zhao Yi could give a brief explanation of what the ’Three-dimensional Tremor Waveform’ is and what his research approach was.
The first question was easy.
Zhao Yi explained in professional terms, "The ’Irregular Three-dimensional Tremor Waveform’ might sound complicated, but simply put, it can be understood as a three-dimensional analytical diagram of a function."
"Tremors and Waveform are descriptions of the three-dimensional image, while ’Irregular’ implies that the function extends indefinitely and that no specific pattern can be found."
"This is similar to the difference between an infinitely non-repeating decimal (irrational number) and an infinitely repeating decimal. If we have an infinitely non-repeating decimal, that means we can’t find a pattern for the decimal places, and once extended to an incalculable number of places, we would not know the actual figure."
"The ’Irregular Three-dimensional Tremor Waveform’ is similar. It means that the ’Three-dimensional Tremor Waveform’ has no pattern, and when extended to an incalculable position, the corresponding specific value would also not be known."
"Its most valuable attribute is that on a fixed planar position, the solutions for the peaks and troughs are all prime numbers."
"But this is temporarily unverifiable because it is an extension of the Riemann conjecture. If the Riemann conjecture is correct, then the ’Three-dimensional Tremor Waveform’ is also correct."
"The significance of this can be found in the numerous discussions on the Internet. Many scholars have also spoken about this. As the Riemann conjecture is widely used in the field of mathematics, the ’Three-dimensional Tremor Waveform’ can also be applied to many fields as a simplification and extension of the Riemann conjecture."
The second question was more difficult.
Research approach?
Zhao Yi’s approach was derived from the feedback reminder from ’Supervision Law’. He knew there were ’problems’ with the Riemann function and went ahead to investigate where the issue lay.
This, of course, could not be mentioned in public.
Instead, Zhao Yi simply stated, "I’m just very interested in the Riemann conjecture. During my research, I discovered that the Riemann function can be simplified..."
Liu Huimin was oblivious to whether what Zhao Yi said was true or false. However, she just needed to interview and write the report.
Many people were interested in this interview.
Quite a few people researching the ’Three-dimensional Tremor Waveform’ paper found that there was nothing wrong with the process. But they felt as though it was ’without a beginning’.
That is to say, they were lacking an approach.
The paper did not make it clear what problem it was trying to solve. It started directly by creating a function with a set of conditions. As the function became increasingly complex, it made an assumption that the Riemann conjecture was correct, and then arrived at the so-called conclusion that ’the solutions for the peaks and troughs of a fixed plane are all prime numbers’.
Understandably, after going through the whole paper, it felt like there was ’no starting point’, ’no approach’. The process in the middle of the paper felt the same. Although there was no problem with the proof process, the researchers did not know what exactly they were supposed to do.
Why suddenly use this condition?
Why suddenly reach this kind of conclusion?
It was only until I finished reading the whole thing that I realized, "Ah, it aimed to expand on the Riemann Conjecture!"
It was kind of like navigating a maze.
A person entered the maze and kept moving, those who followed didn’t understand why he walked the way he did, but then suddenly he made it out of the maze.
How did he manage to make it out?
Who knows.
What was the thought process behind each turn?
No clue.
The reviewer, Professor James of Princeton University, commented something similar on the paper, "At first, I didn’t know what he was trying to do, why he proved certain unrelated points, it was only at the end that I understood he was trying to expand on the Riemann Conjecture."
"Throughout the review process, I simply couldn’t keep up with his train of thought."
"All I can confirm now is that the author of this paper is a genius. He created a method to construct functions by using inverse operations."
"This method of function construction may hold even greater significance for mathematics than the conclusion itself."
Zhao Yi noted these reviews on his paper but could only laugh at the suggestion of this so-called ’method of function construction’.
He did not have any such method!
The reason he was able to construct the function was entirely due to the abilities granted by the Law of Cause and Effect and Connection Law, not because he employed any mathematical methods.
As long as his proof and conclusion were correct, how others interpret them didn’t matter to him.
...
It was the weekend.
This was a rare holiday before the College Entrance Examination.
Lin Xiaoqing and Zhao Linlin arrived at Zhao Yi’s home early. They were here to study together. With the impending College Entrance Examination, there was no time to waste. Instead of going to tutoring classes, they decided to study at Zhao Yi’s place.
First, it’s more relaxed.
Second, Zhao Yi’s abilities are way beyond those of a regular teacher.
Everyone held this view.
Zhao Yi agreed to tutor them only after being pestered relentlessly, but he was feeling somewhat frustrated. The parents, particularly Zhao Hongjuan and Niu Lianhua, had high expectations of him tutoring Lin Xiaoqing and Zhao Linlin. After all, his mathematical abilities were acknowledged as world-class, and he had published two influential research papers.
However, being good at research and being good at teaching are two different things!
Someone might be great at research but not necessarily a good teacher.
Zhao Yi was such a person.
When he worked on problems himself, it was a cinch, and the answer came easily with the help of his abilities.
Explaining problems to others?
He found he had to solve it first and only after using the Connection Law to get the correct answer could he guide the problem-solving process.
This process was full of twists and turns, even more difficult than research.
Zhao Yi became a little dizzy after explaining a few problems. He felt it was rather unfair on him. While Lin Xiaoqing and Zhao Linlin were working on problems, he decided to earn a few more Study Coins.
The three of them were sitting at the dining table.
Lin Xiaoqing and Zhao Linlin were sitting side by side, and Zhao Yi sat across from them. He glanced down secretly, extended his leg forward till he found his target, then rubbed against it a few times.
Lin Xiaoqing glared at him and promptly withdrew her leg to continue her work.
Zhao Yi continued his antics.
Feeling helpless, Lin Xiaoqing looked at Zhao Linlin but felt too embarrassed to speak out. So, she just left her leg there, letting that annoying guy across the table have his way. Unconsciously, her face began to blush.
[Flirting, Target: Lin Xiaoqing, Study Coin +2]
"Not bad!"
"Keep up the good work!"
Zhao Yi felt his right leg was a bit uncomfortable so he switched to using his left leg. It seemed that Lin Xiaoqing was getting used to his antics, her face had returned to normal.
"This is tough!"
"The target has adapted, the same coin-earning method won’t work!"
Zhao Yi sighed.
[Flirting, Target: Zhao Linlin, Study Coin +3]
"Critical Hit??"
Zhao Yi opened his mouth in surprise as he looked towards Zhao Linlin. He noticed her face was flushed, and she was trying her best to concentrate on the exam paper in front of her.
So it turned out that...
Zhao Yi took a deep breath, quickly withdrew his leg and pretended as if nothing had happened.
This was absolutely an accident!
Yes!
An accident!
And then everything returned to normal.
After Zhao Yi had earned five Study Coins, he lost the interest to continue.
In the afternoon, Zhao Linlin went to Lin Xiaoqing’s home for lunch. Zhao Yi sent the girls to the door and on his way back, he had the idea to cash in the rest of his coins.
He discreetly said to Lin Xiaoqing, "Come to my place for tutoring tonight. Just the two of us. I’ll give Brother Chao the night off."
Lin Xiaoqing glared at Zhao Yi and left with Zhao Linlin, holding hands and fooling around.
An hour later, while Zhao Yi and Xu Chao were having lunch, he received a notification of the Study Coins deposit.
He was getting used to this by now.
Was she daydreaming again?
But bro, I just wanted to earn some Study Coins very innocently!
