One of the top four mathematical journals, "Mathematical Progress", had published two articles by Zhao Yi in its latest issue, taking up as many as thirty-four pages.
The domestic public opinion was instantly stirred.
For the domestic mathematical community, having a mathematician able to publish an article in one of the top four mathematical periodicals was in itself big news worthy of extensive discussion.
Zhao Yi published two at once, taking up more than thirty pages, comprising a third of the new issue of the magazine.
It was quite an extraordinary achievement.
One of the reportings came from "Capital Youth Daily", with a straightforward headline: "Young Scholar Zhao Yi Published Two Mathematical Papers in ’Mathematical Progress’, Occupying One-third of the Journal’s Pages!"
Following media reports simply wrote--
"The new issue of ’Mathematical Progress’ is entirely about Zhao Yi!"
"Zhao Yi’s papers dominate ’Mathematical Progress’!"
"Shocking: one of the top four mathematical journals has been conquered by young scholar Zhao Yi!"
"The domestic mathematical paper taking up the most pages in a top journal is out!"
There were all sorts of headlines, and the most exaggerated ones too, mainly revolving around Zhao Yi’s two papers occupying so many pages.
Online public opinion was also full of exclamations: "Zhao Yi is really incredible, he published four papers in top mathematical journals in one year!"
"The proof of the Collatz Conjecture, the expansion of the Riemann Conjecture, and now the proof of the three-dimensional seismic waveform’s prime number solution, as well as the Twin prime conjecture?"
"Don’t forget, Zhao Yi also proved Wiles’ mistake, he knocked a top mathematician off his pedestal!"
"Warning! Warning! The second paper involves the Twin prime conjecture!"
"Can it be that he has cracked the Twin prime conjecture? It can’t be possible!"
"Of course it’s not possible, I’ve looked at the paper, although I couldn’t understand most of it, but the conclusion is clear; Zhao Yi’s three-dimensional seismic waveform contains a high amount of Twin primes pairs. In his paper, he explains why the Twin primes pairs are so frequent!"
"In other words, the three-dimensional seismic waveform is also related to Twin primes?"
"Absolutely!"
"I believe the three-dimensional seismic waveform is about to get consecrated by the mathematical community!"
Public opinion was all about Zhao Yi’s paper, focusing on how much page space it occupied, and how remarkable the feat was.
The academic community was different from that.
After many mathematicians conducted research on Zhao Yi’s second paper, they came to a shocking conclusion - the three-dimensional seismic waveform might contain major clues related to the Twin prime conjecture.
The world of mathematics was equally stirred.
The Twin prime conjecture!
In the last twenty years, the Twin prime conjecture is the number theory conjecture most studied by mathematicians as it’s considered to be of medium difficulty.
Top mathematicians are reluctant to research lower-level mathematical conjectures, because even if results are obtained, they are not very significant.
A top mathematician solving a minor conjecture is like doing a research report. There are hundreds, if not thousands, of conjectures of the same level in the mathematical community.
The extremely difficult conjectures, like the Goldbach Conjecture and the Riemann Conjecture, are very difficult to solve. Even devoting a lifetime to the research may not result in any progress.
Therefore, many mathematicians are interested in the Twin prime conjecture. It’s a conjecture with just the right difficulty level and considerable influence.
The awkwardness lies here. ƒrēewebnovel.com
The Twin prime conjecture, considered to be of lower difficulty, saw virtually no progress in the past century despite continuous research.
This problem resembles having a mountain of gold before your eyes, surrounded by the sea, but being unable to find a ship to reach the mountain.
Now, the ship has appeared.
The mountain of gold is right in front of them, and many mathematicians are exhilarated.
The same goes for China--
"There are clues to proving the Twin prime conjecture in the three-dimensional seismic waveform!"
"I should have done more research if I knew!"
"Quick, we have an advantage!"
"Contact Yanhua University Intelligent and Automation Laboratory to see if they can send all the prime number solution data!"
"Yes, this is a must-have."
Yanhua University suddenly became the focus of the mathematical world. Its Intelligent and Automation Laboratory received calls from all sorts of people, all with the same purpose, wanting to publicize all the prime number solutions.
Many foreign mathematicians also tried various ways to get these data.
Many mathematicians believed that these prime number solution data might be the key to unlocking the treasury. The awkward part was that, currently, only the Intelligent and Automation Laboratory publicly announced the completion of the verification of the second group of prime number solutions.
An overseas reporter interviewed a similar research institute doing verification and got the response, "We haven’t started doing the verification yet. If we use conventional methods, the calculation volume is terrifying."
"The second group of prime number solutions are much more difficult than the first group, and the volume of calculations will increase tens or hundreds of times."
When asked if it could be cracked using the coverage method of computation, the response was, "It absolutely can, but even Google’s supercomputer, after running for a full day, can only come up with several thousand solutions."
"It’s much like solving a Rubik’s cube. Unless you have a highly efficient method, full coverage algorithms will cause the computing workload to increase exponentially."
"Unfortunately, the Chinese team hasn’t revealed the specifics of their calculation method..."
"We can only confirm that the digits they published in the paper are correct. But whether the conclusion itself is correct remains uncertain at the moment."
Even though this was the response from foreign research institutes, domestically, there was over 99% certainty about the conclusions drawn by the Intelligent and Automation Laboratory.
The reason is simple--
Zhao Yi is a student at Yanhua University and also a specially appointed researcher at the Intelligent and Automation Laboratory. He is widely recognized as an algorithms master."
Therefore, it is over 99% likely that the algorithms used by the Intelligent and Automation Laboratory for verification were provided by Zhao Yi himself."
Given Zhao Yi’s accomplishments and reputation, he is unlikely to intentionally create false news that is bound to get debunked. This is why "Mathematical Progress" is prepared to believe the data in the papers, despite the fact that the verification algorithm hasn’t been revealed."
Zhao Yi became famous overnight.
The same was true for Yanhua University.
The Intelligent and Automated Laboratory became a hot spot in the mathematical community. Many top mathematicians, through various channels and connections, hoped to gain access to the first and second group of prime number solutions.
This information will not be released publicly.
Qian Zhijin and Liu Guangzuo were unswayed by this sudden popularity. Firstly, the algorithm was provided by Zhao Yi, so they didn’t have the authority to disclose this information.
Secondly, once the data was made public, nobody would pay attention to them anymore.
So, the Intelligent and Automated Laboratory made a single statement, "If you want to see the data, you’re welcome! Come to the laboratory!"
As a result, frёeωebɳovel.com
Many distinguished mathematicians, including several from overseas, made special trips to the building that houses the Intelligent and Automated Laboratory to view this data.
Upon arrival, they discovered that viewing the data not only required an application but also a number...wait, they had to line up?
There was no choice in the matter.
There were simply too many people wanting to view the data, including many big shots. The Laboratory’s workspace was limited, and the main computer held all the data.
The rest had to queue.
This incident made Yanhua University undoubtedly famous. Think about it: this swarm of top mathematicians specially came to Yanhua University to view the data, and before and after viewing data, they would surely have some interactions with Yanhua University.
Instantly, Yanhua University seemed to be the International Holy Land of Mathematics.
In reality, most of the visiting mathematicians merely had an extreme interest in the prime number solutions of the 3D tremor waveforms, not genuinely wanting to find clues to the Twin Prime Conjecture using the data.
The significance of this abnormal data was enormous.
From the abnormal proportion of twin primes, it could almost be confirmed that the 3D tremor waveform can be connected with the Twin Prime Conjecture.
The 3D tremor waveform was created by Zhao Yi, who is a student at the Yanhua University School of Life Sciences, a professor at Yanhua University College of Science, and a specially appointed researcher at the Intelligent and Automation Laboratory.
The heightened significance of the 3D tremor waveform will greatly boost Zhao Yi’s influence in the mathematical community.
Many mathematicians came to Yanhua University to meet Zhao Yi and chat about the 3D tremor waveform. Unfortunately, most of them were unable to catch sight of Zhao Yi.
Zhao Yi was avoiding them.
At first, Zhao Yi did meet a few mathematicians, but he discovered that with the enormous number of people coming every day, even his class time was taken up. So he decided to stay holed up in his dorm room. After that, he moved into the house he bought.
He regretted a little that he didn’t publish the third paper along with the second. But on second thought, there was really no way around it. The third paper is built on the premise of the second, so even if it were submitted, it might not get published directly.
Unless the second paper is recognized, only then can the third paper get published.
Taking advantage of the numerous mathematicians coming and going at Yanhua University, the School of Sciences utilized this opportunity to organize a ’Mathematical Sciences Symposium’.
Zhao Yi was appointed as a committee member and an honorary chairman of the symposium. The word ’honorary’ clearly states that Zhao Yi doesn’t need to participate in the actual work; his role is only nominal.
The mathematicians visiting Yanhua University could then interact with others in the ’Mathematical Sciences Symposium’.
The frenzy at Yanhua University lasted for over two weeks until a foreign research institute declared that they had developed a simplified algorithm. Using a supercomputer, they calculated the Prime solutions for the first ten million of the second group of the 3D tremor waveforms.
They merged these results with the first group of prime solutions and shared the outcome with Princeton University.
Rumors circulated from foreign media that Princeton University paid two million dollars to access the combined contents of the two groups of prime solutions.
This news somewhat vexed Zhao Yi.
If he had known that the contents of the two groups of prime solutions were this valuable, he would have discussed it with Qian Zhijin to sell the data directly.
Maybe...
Shuimu University, Capital University, or some other universities may be interested?
Ahem.
He should refrain from trickery as much as possible!
