Free Web NovelChapter 274: Chapter 196: This is the most promising position!_3
Zhao Yi is the kind of top-notch genius who could draw reasonable conclusions from simple experiments.
Ordinary people wouldn’t dare say such things, as they might feel like they’re belittling themselves.
Although everyone could be considered ordinary, being outright called "ordinary" seems somewhat derogatory.
Zheng Yingru isn’t afraid of offending people with her words, as she’s already an academician and reached the pinnacle of her career, also over seventy years old.
At this age, what is there to fear?
Zheng Yingru’s interview made the news because of her enormous influence in the medical academia, and even appeared on the news channel of Capital TV Station.
Many medical researchers felt slightly comforted after hearing Zheng Yingru’s words.
"Alright!"
"I’m not a genius, but neither are some people, and since Zhao Yi is a genius, why should we compare ourselves to him?"
"It’s the same in mathematics and computer science. I guess many math professors would be so frustrated upon hearing that a high school student has cracked the Collatz Conjecture that they would vomit blood..."
"So, ..." fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
"Who cares?"
After about ten days, the Biomedical Research Institute’s experiment verification reached its most crucial and turbulent stage.
Some experimental designs were more manageable, while others were more troublesome, even unclear how to approach them. The information provided in the papers was not enough.
Dai Tianqing and Han Hui both wanted Zhao Yi to come over and explain the detailed mechanisms in depth so that the experimenters would know more detailed information and design more reasonable and efficient experiments.
Here’s where the awkwardness emerged.
After submitting his conjecture paper to the journal, Zhao Yi never returned to the Biomedical Research Institute. Even when facing many doubts from the outside world, he seemed indifferent and just stayed in the dormitory studying mathematics.
Now, everyone knew Zhao Yi was researching mathematics; no one knew what he was researching exactly, but it seemed inappropriate to disturb him.
The main reason is the lack of justification.
Indeed.
While the ’Myocarditis Mechanism Conjecture’ was Zhao Yi’s published paper, the subsequent verification of the process benefited the Biomedical Research Institute. Initially, they resisted Deng Shufang’s actions and wanted to help Zhao Yi verify one or two items, which later became a major project of ’verifying the process.’
Supported by the director and academicians, it would have been unreasonable to interrupt Zhao Yi’s mathematical research and ask him to come to the Institute for an explanation.
Of course.
From a personal relationship standpoint, inviting Zhao Yi would be no problem. However, experimental verification required a considerable amount of time; moreover, it would need more than just one or two instances. It was equivalent to asking Zhao Yi to work for the Institute, which required careful consideration.
Meanwhile,
Zhao Yi indeed immersed himself in mathematical research. Finding a point of logical contradiction in Wiles’ proof, he originally thought the study was over. However, when preparing the manuscript and reviewing the ’3D Tremor Waveform Diagram,’ he suddenly noticed a problem.
’Supervision Law’ introduced a new reminder to the detection of the 3D Tremor Waveform Diagram.
"Is the conclusion wrong? Or is it incomplete? Or is the conclusion an error?" Zhao Yi couldn’t quite understand. However, he was confident that the new reminder came with ’new conditions’ related to the study of the Wiles’ paper.
In this process, he learned a lot about curve functions and modular equations. In his discussions with Professor He, he also learned about a complicated mathematical method.
Expanding his knowledge would undoubtedly improve certain conditions, allowing the ’supervision law,’ ’Causality Law,’ or ’Connection Law’ to produce more results.
"What could be the problem with the waveform diagram?" Zhao Yi was confused. The ’3D Tremor Waveform Diagram’ was a function he created with great effort, capable of replacing the Riemann Function. It was vital for his research, the future of mathematical applications, and even the overall field of mathematics.
Since there was a problem, it must be investigated.
Zhao Yi found it odd that the ’3D Tremor Waveform Diagram,’ something he created out of thin air, remained something he could not fully understand due to the Riemann Conjecture serving as the condition.
Mathematics is truly profound!
As Zhao Yi immersed himself in the ocean of mathematics, the Biomedical Research Institute finally decided to ask him for help with the validation. At the critical moment, Director Yan Xuelin stepped up and applied for national funding to support the project.
Yan Xuelin requested a total of 1.2 million yuan. His reasoning was sufficient: Research on the mechanism of myocarditis is highly significant. Future investments in this area could cost tens of millions, yet the research on Zhao Yi’s mechanism conjecture has already confirmed to solve significant issues, and 1.2 million yuan was not too much.
Out of the total budget, 600,000 yuan was allocated separately to Zhao Yi, with his status being reported as an ’intern’ of the Institute. The rest was used as the laboratory’s funds.
600,000 yuan in verification funds may seem substantial, but it isn’t that much in reality. The ’experimental group’ verification process required a large number of personnel, time, materials, and assistance from various high-end devices.
A few researchers’ salaries and benefits combined would easily exceed 100,000 yuan per month. Add to that the associate researchers, assistant researchers, subsidies for graduate and doctoral students, and a significant amount of funding would be spent on staffing alone.
600,000 yuan was just enough to cover the cost price.
Of course, the Biomedical Research Institute was willing to spend money on validation. To them, the most significant value was in the experimental validation process itself. Every small phase of success, coupled with experimental data and reasoning, was enough to produce a decent paper.
No matter what, having research subsidies is better than having none at all.
Other medical research institutions could also conduct similar validation projects, but they are faced with the challenges of not having Zhao Yi’s participation and not obtaining detailed conjecture mechanisms, which are essential for many follow-up experimental verifications.
Therefore, Zhao Yi was crucial.
...
After staying in his dormitory for several days, Zhao Yi finally decided to relax. Zhao Yi found attending school enjoyable because he used to do research during the night when he was engaged during the day. When he suddenly didn’t have to attend classes, he found himself with excess time, which turned him back into a workaholic.
"No!"
Zhao Yi suddenly realized, "This is wrong! Working overtime and doing continuous research is incorrect; otherwise, there’s no difference between now and before, right?"
"I must live a relaxed life, a relaxed life..."
He quickly shook his head, trying to dismiss the research thoughts in his mind.
Zhang Wei approached and waved at him from afar, "Zhao Yi!"
"Sister Zhang Wei!"
Zhang Wei grinned brightly, "I have good news for you! Our Director has applied for project funding for you, and we have received 600,000 yuan."
"600,000 yuan?"
Zhao Yi was puzzled at the mention of money.
"Your conjecture paper on myocarditis pathogenesis is worth 600,000 yuan, no, Academician Zheng said it’s worth 6 million yuan!"
"Really?"
Zhao Yi was stunned, only understanding after some digestion: a paper explaining myocarditis mechanisms could secure 600,000 yuan in funding?
And this was requested after it was published?
If it were actively applied for, wouldn’t the funding be in the millions? In that case, wouldn’t the research be completed within days?
This... what a promising financial future!
Zhao Yi started to feel resistant to the position of ’Distinguished Researcher in Intelligence and Automation Laboratory,’ with a monthly income of only 20,000 yuan...
That’s just a regular job!
Working as a researcher at the Biomedical Research Institute was more suitable for him!
