"It’s not a big deal."
Wei Shiqing exhaled softly, turned around and left the lab. Perhaps working with Bai Jianwu had its perks, at least it made his work more comfortable.
Bai Jianwu, such an honest person!
...
Zhao Yi started his real effort.
Besides normal class hours, he was practicing writing in the dormitory almost all the time.
It was his first time making this much effort in biology. He had written a medical conjecture paper on myocarditis before, simply expressing his thought process in written form. freewebnøvel.coɱ
But, it was different now.
It was a paper backed up by experimental results, and he needed to write it carefully.
The research paper in microbiology is similar to that in biomedical research, both are backed up by a vast amount of experimental results.
After finishing his long draft, he felt like he had written a long essay. In this kind of work, most of the content is written explanation, which felt odd to Zhao Yi. In contrast, his previous computer science and mathematics papers contained mainly calculations and formulas. Writing a paper in an essay-like format felt quite weird to him.
Well, of course.
It’s not a big problem.
Inexperienced in writing such papers, Zhao Yi spent more time and nearly two days to complete his paper, only to find out it was just over 10,000 words long.
"It’s so slow!"
Zhao Yi sighed.
For this kind of paper, his system abilities could not be put into use. He could only write it down the hard way. Even though the speed was not fast, he was still very energetic, hoping that this influential paper could complete his life goal mission.
Three days later in the morning, Zhao Yi came out for a break.
His face had a clear easeful look, and he went to the canteen immediately after he came out, where he met his other three dormmates.
"Zhao Yi!"
A voice called out from amongst the people queuing for food in the canteen. Zhao Yi looked over and saw Fan Lei.
Fan Lei, Li Renzhe, Meng Zheng.
All three were there.
Other students also looked over when they heard Zhao Yi’s name. Zhao Yi was a legend at Yanhua University. However, he hadn’t become a myth since he’s still studying there and many students could bump into him on the way, hence they were not surprised to see him.
Zhao Yi enjoyed being ’normal’ in others’ eyes. He didn’t want to be surrounded by a lot of fans like a star everywhere he went.
That’s not a normal life.
It was Friday.
They had advanced mathematics class on Friday mornings. The three dormmates would come as a group for breakfast. They were never early, and they would just manage to make it to the classroom after breakfast.
Zhao Yi went along with them to the classroom.
Professor Hu Zhibin just walked in as well.
Hu Zhibin greeted Zhao Yi with a slightly awkward smile. "Zhao Yi, I heard you’ve been running to the Biology Department for lab work? You can’t just focus on biology!" ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom
"You are a math genius. You cannot waste it away. I look forward to seeing you solve those hearty mathematical conjectures, such as the Goldbach Conjecture."
"If I’m able to see you resolve the Goldbach Conjecture within my lifetime, even if..."
"I die, I would rest in peace!"
Zhao Yi stared at Professor Hu, completely shocked to hear him say such things.
Is this some kind of motivation to get him back into mathematical research?
However...
"Then I dare not touch the math research anymore. What if I actually resolve the Goldbach Conjecture soon?"
"Professor Hu, wouldn’t you be..."
Professor Hu was unexpectedly stupefied. He just made a comment and didn’t anticipate Zhao Yi’s response, he sort of gave up hope. "If you could resolve the Goldbach Conjecture and I suffer from something, what’s the big deal?!"
"Comparing it with having a domestic mathematician showing the world’s top-level mathematical conjecture, this ordinary math teacher’s life..."
"Doesn’t matter!"
Zhao Yi was taken aback by Professor Hu’s comment and nearly spit out blood in anger. He realized for the first time that Professor Hu could be so tough on himself, even willing to devote his life for the country... how could they genuinely continue this conversation?
Thus, he had to admit defeat!
Zhao Yi conceded quickly, which left Professor Hu speechless. He gave a thumbs up to Professor Hu, walked seamlessly into the classroom, and said, "I won’t abandon mathematics. Therefore, let’s start the class!"
"..."
This left Professor Hu even more dumbfounded.
Zhao Yi was only joking with Professor Hu and lost interest once the real class started.
He wanted to earn some ’Rest Coins’.
After trying for about ten minutes, he found it difficult to fall asleep. The lecturer’s hypnotic effect was far from enough. His energy level was high. Suddenly, recalling his earlier conversation with Professor Hu, he started contemplating the problem of prime numbers.
If asked to prove the Goldbach Conjecture directly, Zhao Yi had no idea where to begin. But when it comes to the problem of prime numbers, there were countless things to ponder about.
He started with the simplest problem of prime number verification.
Prime number verification algorithms are often taught in basic programming languages like C. The verification process typically involves taking a number and dividing it continuously by numbers smaller than it. If no integer results can be obtained, it is ultimately judged as a prime number.
