Many people at the Biomedical Research Institute had heard that Zhao Yi went to the Microbial Technology Laboratory every day.
This was mainly thanks to Wei Shiqing.
Wei Shiqing and the Biomedical Research Institute could not be called enemies, but they had many conflicts in competing for Zhao Yi and even had verbal disputes with several researchers at the Institute.
Zhao Yi’s continuous visits to the Microbial Technology Laboratory gave Wei Shiqing a chance to strike back, and his big mouth quickly spread the news as if Zhao Yi had already been poached away.
When the news reached the Biomedical Research Institute, even Director Yan Xuelin became worried, and he even discussed the matter with several researchers.
"Zhao Yi won’t leave, will he?"
"He’s doing well in our institute, having completed two projects."
"Zhao Yi is a genuine talent, and we can’t be the slightest bit negligent."
This was no longer just a competition for the talents of the future, but a contest for the talents of the present.
The talents of the future would only belong to the future.
The talents of the present belonged to the present.
Zhao Yi’s paper on the medical conjecture of myocarditis helped the Biomedical Research Institute to start looking for new inhibitory factors. His laboratory quickly completed two projects, one of which was a large project on rheumatoid arthritis.
Although the outside world did not think highly of Zhao Yi’s engagement in biological research and believed that he was wasting time and talent, people at the Biomedical Research Institute were starting to recognize Zhao Yi’s capabilities.
If it was just publishing a paper on medical conjecture, it could be described as luck, but leading and completing two projects in a row was more than just luck.
Zhang Wei and Ai Lixin were well-known individuals, and their abilities were apparent. They couldn’t have completed two projects so quickly, especially the rheumatoid arthritis project, which originally belonged to Dai Tianqing’s laboratory. They had been working in Dai Tianqing’s laboratory for a long time without any progress, but when they switched to Zhao Yi’s laboratory, the project was quickly completed, indicating that Zhao Yi played a crucial role in it.
So, for the Biomedical Research Institute, Zhao Yi was already a talent.
Now, Zhao Yi’s visits to the Microbial Technology Laboratory might be a bad sign. However, there was no way to directly address this issue, because Zhao Yi’s age was a factor, and it was natural for him to be interested in other types of biological research.
Besides, he should also learn some knowledge in other fields of microbial research.
This was laying the foundation.
When working on some complex large projects, numerous areas would be involved. Microbiology and biomedical research were highly interconnected, and most diseases that needed research were directly related to viruses and bacteria.
So, to some extent, Zhao Yi’s visits to the Microbial Technology Laboratory and learning some microbial research knowledge would be beneficial to his personal development.
...
While the Biomedical Research Institute and the Microbial Technology Laboratory were all trying their best to figure out Zhao Yi’s situation, the most frustrated ones were the mathematics professors at the School of Sciences.
Zhao Yi published a paper on twin prime conjecture, and many media outlets were still reporting on it. Many universities and academic conferences hoped to invite Zhao Yi to give lectures.
But...
Zhao Yi himself didn’t care about mathematics anymore?
He just attended his regular biology courses every day, and in his spare time, apart from personal entertainment, he visited the top two research institutions at the School of Life Sciences. freёwebnovel.com
The mathematics professors at the School of Sciences felt very frustrated. They really wanted to discuss mathematical knowledge with Zhao Yi, explore the three-dimensional convulsive waveform chart, the twin prime conjecture, and other issues. However, Zhao Yi’s mind was not on mathematics at all. It was as if the papers he had published before had nothing to do with him.
This made people feel frustrated.
Not just the mathematics professors at the School of Sciences, others also felt frustrated, such as those who wanted to continue reducing the number ’246.’ freeweɓnovel.cѳm
The most famous among them was Terence Tao, who had just won the Fields Medal.
After talking with Zhao Yi, Terence Tao decided to focus on weakening the twin prime conjecture to make a breakthrough, hoping to reduce the number ’246.’ He had initially thought he could quickly lower it to a two-digit number, but after researching for a long time, there was still no progress.
Terence Tao didn’t even care about digital compression technology anymore. He spent most of his time in his office, pondering over a large stack of mathematical formulas. His colleagues, friends, family, and even his students started to worry about his health.
One day.
Terence Tao walked out of his office with red eyes, having gone without rest for more than ten hours, constantly thinking about the problem. He thought he had found a key point but discovered after a long period of research that his initial idea was wrong.
This was a significant blow to the research work.
Terence Tao’s appearance looked somewhat frightening. He ate a few bites of food randomly and returned to the laboratory.
His colleague Gomez knocked on the door and walked over to Terence Tao, expressing his concern, "Terry, you should rest. If you keep going, your body will break down."
"Thank you!"
Terence Tao raised his head and sighed, "I just received the Fields Medal, and I thought I was the smartest mathematician in the world. Yes, I thought so for a while until I met Zhao Yi."
"Zhao Yi? That Chinese math prodigy? A fellow Chinese like you?"
