Genius of the Rules-Style System

Chapter 355: Chapter 235 Don’t-do-this!_2

"Only people of foreign nationality are referred to as Chinese overseas."

Terence Tao explained, then continued, "Are you aware of my research on Digital Compression Technology? He took just three months to modify all of my research and even wrote several papers along the way, yes, on waveform diagrams and the weakened twin prime conjecture."

"What I find most difficult to accept is that my research in mathematics has become several times more efficient after his modifications."

"It’s so incredible!"

"Now, I want to study the weakened twin prime conjecture. I’ve been at it for many days, but there’s been no progress. Every idea seems wrong and meaningless..."

Tao Terence clutched his head tightly as he spoke.

Gomez joked in a bitter smile, "Compared to you, I’m just a fool, but I’m still a university professor. Should I just go ahead and kill myself?"

Terence Tao cracked a smile. "Thank you, Gomez. I’m not collapsing. I’m just expressing my inner thoughts." He sighed deeply, "Perhaps it’s because I haven’t encountered anyone better since childhood, I acknowledge I need to adjust my mindset. It’s wrong to feel this way. Therefore, I have decided to chat with Zhao Yi. Although he isn’t aware of my current state, we’re... friends."

"You and Zhao Yi are friends? That’s interesting. What do you plan to discuss? May I listen in?"

"Of course."

Terence Tao immediately sent a message to Zhao Yi to arrange a time to discuss mathematics.

Zhao Yi had always been studying biomedical sciences, focusing on laboratory projects. He was somewhat reluctant when he saw Tao Terence’s message, but it wasn’t easy to reject a request from halfway around the Earth.

He agreed.

The mathematics discussion was scheduled for eight in the evening.

That was his free time.

The timing wasn’t very friendly for Tao Terence. He had to arrive early, but at least he had an interested Gomez for company. Once the call connected, Tao Terence directly raised his research into the secondary twin prime conjecture.

He was blunt. "I’ve been researching this for a long time and haven’t found a clue. It seems like every experimental method is wrong. According to your proofing method, 246 is already at the limit."

"Yes."

Zhao Yi asked, "Do you want me to give you an idea?"

Terence Tao paused for a moment. He felt it wasn’t too good to ask another mathematician to give him a direct idea, but since it was Zhao Yi, he nodded, "If possible, of course."

Gomez, who was interested, perked up his ears.

Zhao Yi casually replied, "However, I can only give you one piece of advice."

"Advice?"

"Yes."

Zhao Yi continued, "And my advice is, Don’t-do-this!"

"Don’t continue!"

"246 is already at the limit. If you want to research the twin prime conjecture, don’t consider my paper, my proofing method, and the number 246."

"I believe that reducing 246 further is more difficult than cracking the conjecture itself."

Silence echoed, total silence. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

Both sides were silent for a long time. Finally, Terence Tao spoke, "I understand."

The call was ended.

...

Zhao Yi was sincerely giving Terence Tao advice.

Terence Tao is a true mathematical genius. There is no need to waste time on a higher difficulty conjecture that doesn’t mean much.

After chatting with Terence Tao, Zhao Yi became engaged in designing algorithms for Digital Compression Technology.

The work was not hard for him.

Although mathematical theories could not be fully reflected in the algorithm, just like many people thought of him, he was indeed very good at algorithm design.

This was related to his capabilities.

Whether it was the "Causality Law", "Connection Law" or "Supervision Law", the effects could be greatly manifested in algorithm design. Having studied Terence Tao’s mathematical theory and having modified it, he had a clear understanding of the mathematical content and quickly completed the overall design framework.

Then it was the time for content enrichment.

In the process of designing algorithms, Zhao Yi just kept coding without giving it much thought under the causality thinking mode. This lasted for over an hour.

"Given this speed, about five hours should suffice. Working one hour a day..."

"Five days it is!"

Zhao Yi pondered for a moment and decided to rest. He has been feeling a bit like a tool man recently, with many things to deal with.

The main reason was the added task of ’checking the virus situation’. Going to the microbiology laboratory every day, although it seemed like a brief visit, felt like a lot more work with an extra task.

Another week passed.

Zhao Yi went to the microbiology lab every day to check on the virus. The twelve groups considered as waste by Wei Shiqing had turned into lumps of...

Quite unsightly things.

That day.

After checking the twelve groups of waste, Zhao Yi finally got definitive feedback from the Supervision Law that part of the virus had mutated.

The tendency of this mutation was ’increased infectiousness and reduced toxicity’.

Zhao Yi only concluded this, not knowing what caused the mutation, but it was easy to find the cause when the conclusion was already known.

Just consume some energy.

[Using Connection Law will consume 58 points of energy, do you wish to continue?]

The system prompt frustrated Zhao Yi. He immediately replenished his energy and literally closed his eyes before hitting confirm, then quickly spent study coins to supplement the depleted energy.

"Whew..."

Zhao Yi let out a sigh of relief. He was breaking out in a cold sweat. The feeling of a large amount of energy being depleted instantly was too uncomfortable. If possible, he really would not want to experience that again.

"What happened?"

Wei Shiqing was somewhat confused, "Are you feeling unwell? Is it okay?"

"It’s fine, I was just thinking about something."

Zhao Yi casually explained, then continued, "Professor Wei, could you isolate the virus from these wastes?"

Professor Wei nodded, "Extracting the virus is difficult. It’s possible to remove most of the debris, but it takes time."

"How long approximately?"

"About three days." Wei Shiqing was a bit confused, "Do you want to extract the virus? The Norovirus material isn’t valuable and it’s easy to apply for it. There’s no need for us to extract it ourselves..."

Zhao Yi earnestly said, "Professor Wei, if you extract these viruses and conduct a color experiment of virus invasion, I believe you’ll find it interesting."

"Really?"

Wei Shiqing didn’t believe it. He was certain that nothing would happen. The result would be similar to the initial experiment.

This was just a waste of time and energy!

"I am certain!"

Zhao Yi nodded earnestly, "That’s just a suggestion. You can try or you can dispose of these things."

"I already made a discovery."

"Really?" Wei Shiqing found that Zhao Yi didn’t look like he was lying, but still couldn’t figure out what was going on.

He said, "Alright, I’ll give it a try."

At any rate, it was just a matter of extracting the virus and it would only cost some time.
