Chapter 373: Chapter 246: Visiting the Group as a Calculation Tool Person
Being able to find an approach and method to prove the Goldbach Conjecture using "Correlation Law" put Zhao Yi at ease, but he didn’t plan on doing anything right away, partly because he wanted to continue enjoying his leisurely life.
Secondly, he was short on Study Coins.
His Study Coins were severely scant, and if he were to delve into the connection between the theory of prime numbers and the Goldbach Conjecture, it would undoubtedly consume a lot of energy, quickly depleting his Study Coins.
So, he needed to accumulate Study Coins; whenever he had the time, he would look up reference materials related to prime numbers. Whether it was famous theorems that proved this or even papers proving some minor prime number content, it all might be helpful to him.
Two days later.
The final English exam was over, and students started leaving the school. freēwēbnovel.com
Meng Zheng was a local student from the capital, and he left after he finished his exams; Fan Lei and Li Renzhe also bought train tickets for the next two days.
Zhao Yi was leaving in five days.
He, along with Lin Xiaoqing, Zhao Linlin, and Sun Liang, agreed to return to Zhengyang together.
Zhao Yi was not like ordinary students. He held the title of a professor and was a researcher at the Biomedical Research Institute. He also served as a special research fellow at the Intelligent and Automated Lab; he certainly couldn’t just leave like an ordinary student.
Teaching and computer lab work were secondary, but he had to pay attention to the rheumatoid arthritis project.
With a few days of leisure time, he spent more time in his lab, hoping to make a slight progress in the project, so as to give his lab team a break.
An invitation disrupted Zhao Yi’s plans.
A call came from the National Academy of Sciences, and another one from someone who claimed to be a director.
"Zhao Yi, are you interested in making a trip to Europe? We plan to form a group to visit the large hadron collider experiments in Geneva, Switzerland." The call from the Academy came from Chen Ming.
Chen Ming was one of the top mathematicians in the country.
Zhao Yi asked a bit confused, "Isn’t that a physics experiment?"
"Indeed, math and physics are closely related. We’re going to visit and get a firsthand understanding of the most significant collider in Europe. In the future, our country might also construct a collider, so we need mathematicians in our team to conduct some professional calculations."
"I see."
So that essentially meant going and being a calculating tool, right?
A large group of researchers were going to the European collider to observe its experiments and analyze the collected data, and they’d conveniently rope in mathematicians to help with calculations.
Alright then.
Perhaps the physics researchers were not that confident about their computational abilities? ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com
Truth be told.
Zhao Yi got this invitation mainly due to his mathematical abilities, as he was already considered one of the finest in the country.
There was certainly no harm in having several professional mathematicians accompany the observation group and delegation of scholars from domestic institutions who would be observing the tests for the European collider.
The domestic institutions also wanted to learn from their experiences.
Many physicists in the country proposed that a collider belonging to the country should be built. Possessing a collider would attract overseas scholars to China, and it would allow us to conduct large-scale heavyweight experiments.
No matter what, researching the mysteries of the world was always of paramount importance.
Zhao Yi hadn’t made up his mind to follow them after receiving Chen Ming’s call, because the trip was scheduled during winter vacation, and he didn’t want to work extra time, not to mention the long journey to Switzerland.
It was a bit far!
Last time a trip to Madrid was far enough, and Switzerland was similarly distant.
If it was a trip to a city similar to Madrid, he would still be somewhat interested. The temperature in the capital was really low, including in Zhengyang, just a few degrees above freezing. Going on a trip to a city with a suitable temperature could be seen as giving himself a holiday.
Switzerland?
The temperature in Switzerland wouldn’t be any higher than in his home country, and if it could match Zhengyang, that would be considered good. It really wasn’t a good time for a vacation.
Alright then!
Joining an observation trip to Switzerland was not about vacationing.
Zhao Yi received another call, this time from a director of some sort, presumably the person in charge of the observation team, inviting Zhao Yi to join, "We need to record a lot of data. This will help us understand the collider better..."
"Yada yada yada..."
The other party talked for a long time.
Zhao Yi was somewhat confused listening, but he pretty much got the gist of it: the visit was important and they hoped he would assist.
He agreed in the end.
Such visits by domestic scholars felt similar to learning technologies, and it was good to help a little when he had the time.
The domestic country was lagging behind in similar fields after all. If they could copy foreign high-end technologies...
Ah?
A question suddenly occurred to Zhao Yi: his "Connection Law" was not limited to answering questions and doing research. If it were to be used to copy high technology, it might be very efficient, wouldn’t it?
For example, if there was a high-tech product right in front of him, based on a lot of condition data, could he identify the crux of the technology?
"If it’s a very complex and intricate object, it certainly can’t be deciphered in one go, but if it’s a lesser, say, a small instrument, should it be feasible?"
Zhao Yi picked up his cell phone and glanced at it.
Without a doubt, the phone screen was produced by Samsung. When it came to the manufacture of top-notch mobile phone screens, the domestic country was still far behind.
So, what was the bleeding-edge technology for making mobile phone screens?
Zhao Yi used the "Connection Law" on the screen of his mobile phone, but regretfully, found he couldn’t get a result. He thought about it carefully, "Maybe the process of making mobile phone screens is too complicated?"
