Inside the conference room.
Many professors from the School of Sciences were wearing wry smiles. Many of them had the idea of continuing to reduce the number 246. As long as they could do it first, they could leave their names in the process of proving the twin prime conjecture.
This might not contribute to historical glory, but having a name was always better than not having one. In the world of mathematics, it could also be regarded as a significant achievement.
Now they realized how challenging it was.
Zhao Yi had already reduced everything that could be minimized, from 50 million to 246. The difficulty of further minimization was absolutely high.
Although it didn’t catch up with the proof of the Goldbach Conjecture, or the direct proof of the twin prime conjecture, its difficulty was beyond what ordinary mathematicians could achieve, and probably only those real geniuses had the chance to continue this work.
Clearly.
Zhao Yi standing before them was a true genius. They had long since abandoned the idea of comparison.
Zhao Yi chatted with a few professors and answered some questions about the proofing process.
Many people left the classroom.
Zhao Yi looked around but didn’t see Lin Xiaoqing. Just as he was confused, he picked up his phone and glanced at it, and saw a message—
"I’m heading back first.
I came today just to have a look. I was trying to surprise you, but I ended up being ushered into the classroom with you.
So embarrassing.
I won’t disturb you anymore."
Zhao Yi chuckled, shaking his head, and replied with a message, "Understood.
I’ll continue discussing mathematics with the pretty teachers!"
"Hmph!"
Lin Xiaoqing on the other side of the phone knew Zhao Yi was joking, but she still snorted disdainfully through the screen, and sent an emoji of a smirking face.
After looking at the message, Zhao Yi put down the phone, exited the classroom, and headed to the Biomedical Research Institute.
Now his mathematics work was over.
After the publication of his fourth paper, he lost interest in continuing with mathematics. He shifted his focus to biomedicine, hoping to complete his life’s goal as soon as possible.
The research in Zhao Yi’s laboratory had concluded. The project’s final report had been submitted, and even the remaining funds had been transferred to his account.
Ai Lixin, Zhang Wei, and Liu Chengjie each authored papers, which were published in domestic medical academic journals. The project was completed with Zhao Yi, the main research results undoubtedly belonged to him. He was the first author of two papers, followed by three minor papers, one each for the remaining three individuals.
Liu Chengjie got a bit of an advantage. He was the lab’s ’worker,’ doing all the laborious and hard tasks during the experiments. While the role could be easily replaced, he could write a paper independently and present his results, which was a privilege given by Ai Lixin and Zhang Wei.
Of course.
No one in the lab minded.
Zhao Yi’s lab was probably the most united. Whether it was Ai Lixin or Zhang Wei, they felt like the research results were obtained effortlessly. They spent less than a month working on the project. Under Zhao Yi’s guidance, the project seemed to have been pushed to completion, not only quickly but also very efficiently.
The project results can arguably be said to be mostly Zhao Yi’s.
Zhao Yi, of course, didn’t mind the minor results. They held no significance for him. Two major results with him as the first author sufficed.
Zhao Yi’s laboratory completed the project on Rheumatoid Arthritis. The outside world didn’t pay much attention to it. Several million-dollar medical mechanism projects, unless they caused a worldwide sensation or had substantial economic value, were hard to catch the public’s attention. Even the domestic medical field itself completed numerous similar projects each year.
Thus, the most surprised entity was the Biomedical Research Institute.
The people at the Biomedical Research Institute knew very well what Zhao Yi’s laboratory was like. It had only two regular associate researchers, and Ai Lixin had just joined. Zhao Yi was not counted, and the recently promoted Liu Chengjie was ignored.
Zhao Yi’s lab could be said to be short of staff. The project they applied for was a castrated project of the institute, and completing such a project would be considered big news for the institute.
The project on Rheumatoid Arthritis they completed used to be Dai Tianqing lab’s project, set one year ago. Dai Tianqing was a senior researcher, and no other labs would take the project he decided not to take.
And now...
It had been completed?
In less than a month, Zhao Yi’s lab had completed the project. It was truly unimaginable.
When people at the institute learned about the final settlement amount of the project, their eyes turned red with envy—
1.3 million!
That was 1.3 million!
Having completed a project in just one month, the remaining over one million could all be pocketed. It was not just the ordinary researchers and associate researchers who were envious, even Director Yan was a bit jealous. He even went to the finance department to inquire, thinking about joining Zhao Yi’s lab.
This was a laboratory blatantly pocketing the institute’s research and development funds, with other people unable to say anything! fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
How great!
Since the news spread, the institute’s people looked at Ai Lixin, Zhang Wei, and even Liu Chengjie with somewhat envious eyes for the next few days.
Two associate researchers even tried to pull strings with Ai Lixin, expressing their desire to join Zhao Yi’s lab.
Ai Lixin relayed this to Zhao Yi.
Zhao Yi promptly refused, "We don’t lack manpower in our lab at the moment. Let’s wait until the next project application is approved, then we can gauge the situation."
The impact of completing this project was mainly reflected in the Biomedical Research Institute.
Of course, there were also some specialized research institutes and hospitals for Rheumatoid Arthritis that came to inquire about the details of the project. However, the difficulty with mechanism research was that they could only provide some mechanisms and theories discovered during the research process.
To turn these mechanisms and theories into reality, such as researching some drugs that can help patients, there was still a long way to go.
So, once the project was settled, it was over.
However, there was another piece of news that linked Zhao Yi’s reputation with medicine. It was the news announced by Dai Tianqing and Han Hui’s laboratories that a new inhibitor had been found.
"Based on Zhao Yi’s myocarditis immune conjecture paper, we tried to find an existing factor that might inhibit heart movements."
"We finally succeeded!"
"This is an exhilarating discovery, a new factor that is vital for medical research. It could likely play some unconventional roles in other diseases or in the metabolism and physiology of the human body."
"In the future, there will undoubtedly be even more discoveries."
"In recognition of the role that Zhao Yi played in this discovery process, we unanimously decided to name it the ’ZY factor’."
"..."
The discovery of a new factor is indeed a significant event.
Dai Tianqing and Han Hui at the Biomedical Research Institute have instantly garnered attention, with the event even sparking public discussion. Some netizens amusingly commented, "The medical field is now competing with the mathematics and computer science sectors for the naming rights to ’Zhao Yi’."
There are already two things named after Zhao Yi in mathematics, namely the ’Zhao Theorem’ (Collatz Theorem), and the ’Zhao function’ (Three-dimensional Tremor waveform graph).
In the computer industry, there’s ’Zhao’s Filter’.
Now, the medical field has come up with the ’ZY factor’, which is clearly the first letter of Zhao Yi’s name.
Even the headline of some online media reads "Zhao Yi Crosses Three Fields".
Seeing the title almost made Zhao Yi spit out his drink. Couple it with phrases like "unstoppable" and "undefeatable", and he becomes a prodigy in the world of cultivation.
Unfortunately...
Most people still did not recognize Zhao Yi’s capabilities in biological research, believing that his role in the discovery of the new inhibitory factor had more to do with luck.
After all, a conjecture?
It sounds like a mathematics thing, yet it was used in medical mechanism research, which makes people feel quite weird.
Zhao Yi was feeling quite pissed.
The system then gave a new prompt--
[Rheumatoid Arthritis Mechanism Project completed.]
[Research Coin +6.]
[Academic Reputation Increased!]
[Research Coin +6.]
What about the Study Coins?
The task completion reminder?
None!
Completely none!
That simply meant that the outside world still did not recognize his abilities in biological research. Most people would likely attribute his success to luck. Another major reason was, many people felt that his venture into biomedical research was purely a waste of his talent or simply a waste of time.
He was already being stereotyped as a mathematics genius.
Mathematics genius!
Mathematics genius?
The heck with mathematics genius!
Zhao Yi then stormed off to the Biomedical Research Institute, went to his laboratory, and immediately pulled out a big stack of cash from his bag.
"Money distribution!"
"Old Ai, you, ten!"
"Sister Zhang, twelve, don’t be upset Old Ai, Sister Zhang was involved in the project from the beginning."
"No problem!"
The fact that Ai Lixin joined in the middle and took less money doesn’t matter. The importance is how much money is distributed, all depends on Zhao Yi’s mood. The project belonged to him, they even had no right to be dissatisfied with the bonus he obtained.
"Brother Liu, six!"
Zhao Yi then handed over a huge stack of money to an ecstatic Liu Chengjie.
This time, he was determined!
After spending two hundred and eighty thousand yuan in one breath, Zhao Yi immediately announced the reduction of ’break time’. "Old Ai, go to the Director and get the next project, pick the ones with research directions."
"Sister Zhang, Brother Liu, get ready, you can rest for a couple of days. Once the project is officially approved, we will work hard and continue."
"Let’s push on!"
"Our goal is ..." Zhao Yi began and suddenly trailed off. His goal is to get his biological abilities recognized, by consistently completing medical mechanism projects. If one project doesn’t get recognized, just do many more...
What then?
With his capabilities laid bare, what could still be unrecognized?
He couldn’t say this to others.
Taking this into account, he simply nodded vigorously and said with a serious face, "Our goal is to clear all pending projects in the institute and prevent any research project from being stained."
"This is not just for us but for the entire research institute!"
"We need to work hard and contribute!"
"..."
The few people in the laboratory simply gaped at him. They exchanged glances, and Liu Chengjie quickly chimed in, "Professor Zhao is absolutely right, we are aiming to clean up the institute’s backlog of unfinished projects!"
"Promising!"
Zhao Yi looked approvingly at Liu Chengjie, thinking he should increase his bonus amount next time.
Although Liu Chengjie was the least important member of the lab, his experience and abilities had been improving, and he was willing to work hard, which were very commendable qualities.
