Free Web NovelChapter 331: Chapter 222: My Dream Is to Become a Biologist_2
Zhou Li and the other professors could only force themselves to entertain Qiu Chengwen despite their frustration.
Zhao Yi received the news during class and got a phone call right after he walked out of the classroom. It was from a teacher from the School of Sciences.
"Zhao Yi, Qiu Chengwen has come, trying to poach you to Shuimu University."
"Come to the School of Sciences later. Don’t be deceived. That old man is a liar. He just wants to deceive you over..."
"He just wants to chain you to the Mathematics Science Center to do research for them..."
This teacher from the School of Sciences was very rude in his speech.
According to him, Qiu Chengwen and people who operate pyramid schemes were similar, both deserving to be arrested by the police and spend a few years in prison without issue.
Zhao Yi knew it was because they worried about him being poached by Qiu Zhengwen.
Then he went to the School of Sciences and saw the legendary Qiu Chengwen, Master Qiu.
Qiu Chengwen was already in his sixties.
He looked gentle and seemed easy to talk to, but his tone was quite serious.
After some symbolic polite exchanges, Qiu Chengwen asked Zhao Yi what he had been doing earlier, and was informed that he had attended a math problem class.
Qiu Chengwen frowned at this and said, "Why are you attending such a math problem class? Isn’t that a waste of time?"
His words were very direct, making Zhao Yi frown. Seeing Hu Zhibin entering the room, he nodded and smiled, "Teacher Hu’s teaching level is quite high, and I always feel inspired when attending his class."
"Really?" Qiu Chengwen didn’t know who Teacher Hu was, but there was clear suspicion in his voice.
Hu Zhibin’s mouth corners lifted upon hearing this.
Zhao Yi’s words were more effective than Professor Zhu’s reassurances. As for whether Zhao Yi actually attended the class or slept through it, Hu Zhibin chose to ignore it consciously.
Did it matter?
It didn’t.
Maybe Zhao Yi got his inspiration while sleeping during class!
Yes, that must be it.
Qiu Chengwen was a bit baffled, feeling he could not keep up with young people’s thoughts. After all, he was more than forty years older than Zhao Yi, with a gap between two generations.
He changed the subject, talking about the three-dimensional tremor waveform graph.
Earlier, Qiu Chengwen had been to the Intelligent and Automation Lab to see the first and second sets of prime number solutions for the waveform graph and the possible relationship between the tremor waveform graph and the twin prime conjecture.
Qiu Chengwen shared some thoughts.
Zhao Yi directly revealed his research, "I have already completed the proof of the relationship between the two. From the three-dimensional tremor waveform graph, it can be proven that there are infinitely many twin primes on the upper bound." ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
"Of course, the waveform graph is based on the Riemann Conjecture, so it can only be said that the twin prime conjecture is valid under the premise that the Riemann Conjecture holds true."
Zhao Yi’s words surprised Qiu Chengwen, who didn’t expect Zhao Yi to have already completed his research. The confidence in his voice regarding the conclusion was surprising as well.
Zhao Yi bluntly said, "I have already submitted my paper, and it has passed the review. My research paper will be available in the latest issue of ’Mathematical Progress’ next week."
Qiu Chengwen was visibly shocked.
Though Qiu Chengwen knew that Zhao Yi was a mathematical genius, as a Fields Medal winner and a mathematician with immense influence in the world, his opinion of Zhao Yi was different from others.
He believed Zhao Yi was genuinely a math genius, but completing the Collatz Conjecture and creating the three-dimensional tremor waveform graph had some element of luck.
In fact, there is also a luck factor in mathematical research, such as thinking of something that others haven’t, and it so happens that the idea proves correct.
This doesn’t mean you’re a bigger genius than others, only that you have better luck.
Of course.
In the field of scientific research, luck is an essential component of strength.
As such, he believed that Zhao Yi was a very lucky mathematical prodigy, but given his young age and lack of a solid foundation in knowledge, it would be challenging to make further breakthroughs in mathematics.
The Collatz Conjecture and the three-dimensional tremor waveform graph were both part of number theory.
Number theory is the most challenging branch of mathematics, with countless top mathematical geniuses contributing decades of dedication to it, perhaps never achieving any results.
Zhao Yi was a mathematical genius, but whether he could continue producing results in number theory was really hard to say.
Now Zhao Yi has made another achievement.
Although the achievement was based on further expansion of the three-dimensional tremor waveform graph, Qiu Chengwen could almost imagine that just one research project on the graph could make Zhao Yi one of the world’s top mathematicians, even to the extent of having comparable influence to his own research.
Qiu Chengwen couldn’t help but smile bitterly.
Zhao Yi was too young!
Even though most scientific research achievements come from scientists under forty, the peak period for a researcher is between thirty and forty. The age of Zhao Yi seemed almost unimaginable, as even the youngest Fields Medal and Nobel Prize winners were sure to be laying foundations at around twenty, rather than making achievements with their research.
Qiu Chengwen’s mood was filled with surprise, but he quickly adjusted and continued talking to Zhao Yi about the three-dimensional tremor waveform graph.
As Zhao Yi had already openly spoken about his research findings, discussing the relationship with the twin prime conjecture would naturally lose its meaning. Qiu Chengwen suggested using a computer to render a detailed three-dimensional image of the waveform graph based on the two sets of prime number solutions.
