Chapter 374: Chapter 246: Visiting the Group as a Calculation Tool Person_2
"I don’t even have any understanding about materials or processes or even related stuff..." freewebnovёl.ƈom
"But I would still like to give it a try when I get the opportunity."
Zhao Yi agreed. He needed to adjust his schedule. He made phone calls to Lin Xiaoqing, Zhao Linlin, and Sun Liang.
Lin Xiaoqing was very supportive of his decision.
Zhao Linlin simply laughed, responding, "Then I’ll go with Xiaoqing."
Zhao Yi also remembered the ’forgotten Sun Liang.’ But when he called, Sun Liang didn’t ask about his trip to Switzerland, but complained that Zhao Yi had forgotten a promise he made to him.
"Promise?"
"Yeah, do you remember? You said you’d help me work on a project once we got to college."
"I could study and earn money at the same time, and learn so much too."
"..."
Zhao Yi had indeed forgotten.
After completing the robotic shopping system, he hadn’t done any research related to computer software. The only thing he had done concerning computers was digital compression technology, which was clearly beyond the level that Sun Liang could work with.
"I didn’t forget."
Zhao Yi was not going to admit he had forgotten, "You need to adapt for a while when you first get to college. Would you like to do a part-time job now?"
"Is there anything suitable? Technological?" Sun Liang quickly asked.
Well, isn’t this easy!
"You wait."
For Zhao Yi, finding a software-related part-time job for a college student is all too easy.
He called Zhang Zhen, briefly explained the situation, and quickly found a freelancing job maintaining a company’s website.
For Sun Liang, jumping straight into coding was a bit premature. Doing some simple website maintenance work could earn him some pocket money, improve his skills, and familiarize him with website coding, which could be very beneficial to him.
Zhao Yi spoke to his friends and also made a call home, then went to the Intelligent and Automation Lab.
"You’re here!"
Qian Zhijin saw Zhao Yi, his face full of excitement, and pointed at the computer screen, "Your waveform chart, it’s designed!"
Zhao Yi glanced at the screen and was immediately fascinated.
It was a 3D wave diagram that looked like an animation. When the mouse was placed over certain points on the wave diagram, the corresponding prime number bounds would immediately be displayed.
He sat down for a closer look and found that the largest prime number had been expanded to 16 digits, meaning the wave diagram extended to the position of 16 digits.
This was pretty impressive!
"Your computer has a pretty high configuration!" Zhao Yi’s focus was not on the waveform chart. Instead, he bent down to look at the computer’s mainframe.
Qian Zhijin was stunned by his way of thinking. He laughed and picked up a piece of cloth to cover the mainframe, while explaining, "Can’t let dust get in."
"Treating it like a treasure?"
"This mainframe was specially assembled." Qian Zhijin explained, obviously not wanting to continue the topic on the mainframe. He did treasure this computer; its specs were very luxurious. The fact that it could run the waveform chart all the way to the 16-digit number demonstrated its explosive performance.
Zhao Yi was intrigued and thought about when he could find the opportunity to move this computer to his dorm.
Playing games on this computer would surely not lag at all!
Qian Zhijin quickly changed the subject, "I heard you’re researching Goldbach’s Conjecture?"
Zhao Yi wore a gloomy face.
"You’re really researching it? I thought they were only kidding around." As he said this, Qian Zhijin’s expression didn’t change. He felt a bit regretful about Zhao Yi studying the Goldbach Conjecture.
Although he was a professor at the School of Information, he also had a certain understanding of mathematics and knew well how difficult the Goldbach Conjecture was. There had been no progress in more than forty years, and he knew that was enough to understand it.
Countless mathematical geniuses from around the world have devoted themselves to the research of top-tier conjectures, yet few have produced results.
These people have spent the most precious time of their lives on fruitless research, which is essentially a waste of time.
Like many others, Qian Zhijin didn’t believe Zhao Yi could make progress in a short time.
What kind of results could be achieved from Goldbach’s Conjecture?
Chen Jingrun’s ’1+2’ proof is already very close to solving the Goldbach Conjecture. Any further results could only prove the Goldbach Conjecture.
So...
Spending time and energy on the Goldbach Conjecture is, in more than 99 percent of the cases, a waste.
For a genius like Zhao Yi, wasting time and energy would be such a shame.
Qian Zhijin thought he should say something to dissuade him. After all, he was closer to Zhao Yi than most others were, at least enough to consider him a friend. But he didn’t voice his thoughts when it came to his lips.
Zhao Yi, he’s different!
Besides mathematics, Zhao Yi’s field of research was not limited. He was also a researcher at the Biomedical Research Institute, where he had already made some achievements.
So even if he wasted some energy on Goldbach’s Conjecture, he could still continue his research in the field of biology without wasting precious time recklessly.
Qian Zhijin shook his head with a bitter smile, and what he ended up saying was, "I can’t help much with this research."
"You can help."
"I can help?" Qian Zhijin pointed to himself, somewhat incredulous, "You mean me?"
"Yes!"
Zhao Yi stated, "I want to find some proof related to prime numbers, but collecting these things is quite difficult. I don’t know what’s there specifically. Could you help me collect some related stuff?"
