Chapter 414: Chapter 262: Two Methods to Prove Goldbach’s Conjecture?_3

Everyone else felt similarly, hoping that Zhao Yi could graduate early.

Wu Yanping has the authority to let students graduate as long as they have passed all the required courses since Zhao Yi doesn’t wield much influence in the biological field.

If they directly awarded Zhao Yi a diploma in biological sciences, it would definitely cause a lot of public controversy once it became known to the public.

Mathematics Department could do that.

Physics Department could do that.

School of Information could do that too.

But School of Life Sciences couldn’t.

Wu Yanping felt very depressed thinking about it and decided to have a face-to-face talk with Zhao Yi.

At this moment,

Zhao Yi was attentively attending class, not considering early graduation at all.

It was impossible.

He must enjoy the wonderful college life peacefully, for once he graduated early, he could never return.

By then, he would be a mere tool, and any return to the campus would only be as a teacher.

Moreover, attending classes could earn him Rest Coins. Accumulating these coins daily would be quite substantial over time.

At least, Rest Coins were easier to earn than Flirting Points. freёwebnovel.com

Not only did Zhao Yi not want to graduate, but he also felt that he had too much work. He had a laboratory at the Biomedical Research Institute and was also a specially appointed researcher at the Intelligent Automation Laboratory.

There was very little work at the Intelligent Automation Laboratory, but there was still some. Occasionally, there would be project work to do, which couldn’t be avoided as they were state-funded projects.

"Forget it!"

"I’ll resign!"

Zhao Yi quickly made a decision. He already held the title of a professor in the School of Sciences; there was no need to be a specially appointed researcher at the Intelligent Automation Laboratory.

Receiving a salary without working was indeed nice, but compared to a relaxed life without doing anything, earning a bit less money didn’t matter.

He resigned decisively, and the method was quite simple. "Old Qian! I don’t want to hang around in your lab anymore; it’s too tiring!"

"And there’s always something to do!"

"Tell Professor Liu to just cross out my name!"

Qian Zhijin was frustrated when he received the phone call. He hadn’t arranged any work for Zhao Yi, just mentioned that there would be a project for Zhao Yi to help with in the future.

But now...

He wants to resign already?

Zhao Yi somewhat understood Qian Zhijin’s feelings and simply added, "It’s okay, I’m still in college, so if you need help with anything, just let me know. I won’t forget to share the benefits."

The implied meaning was, "Just tell me if you need help, but whether I’ll help or not is another story."

Qian Zhijin wasn’t able to catch the hidden meaning. After thinking about it, the laboratory would save on some salary expenses, and nothing else would really change.

So, why hesitate?

"OK!"

Since Zhao Yi would still be on campus, why would he not help if he were needed?

After resigning from the Intelligent Automation Laboratory, Zhao Yi felt much lighter.

Now he was truly carefree and could focus on taking classes.

Of course,

Spending time with friends during holidays was inevitable.

On Saturday, Lin Xiaoqing came over. They hadn’t seen each other for quite some time. During the New Year, Zhao Yi didn’t return to Zhengyang, so when they finally saw each other again, it felt so close, and they hugged each other on campus.

"Where do you want to go?"

"Let’s go to the amusement park! I heard from my classmates that there is a new one; let’s check it out together!"

They went to the amusement park.

They played many activities in the morning. After lunch, they returned home, exhausted. So, they decided to stay in the house for the afternoon, spending the time on the bed and sofa.

Zhao Yi wanted to teach Lin Xiaoqing some of his martial arts techniques, as he believed they had a deep foundation. However, Lin Xiaoqing didn’t seem interested, rejecting most of the moves, only accepting the ones for her hands.

Well,

At least, it wasn’t a complete waste of time and effort!

During that afternoon, both Zhao Yi and Lin Xiaoqing felt very relaxed and were reluctant to part ways. Nevertheless, Lin Xiaoqing insisted on leaving. She glared at Zhao Yi with a reddened face, "Don’t even think about it! My mom said..."

"That, well, it’s not possible right now!"

"Humph~~"

Zhao Yi could only see Lin Xiaoqing off. When he returned home, he suddenly thought of Zhao Linlin from the School of Life Sciences.

Zhao Linlin was studying medicine!

Traditional Chinese medicine certainly has massage and acupressure techniques, and Zhao Linlin’s skills must be... What was he thinking? High-level martial arts should not be easily passed on to others!

Only those destined could learn it!

On Monday,

The first class was advanced math.

Zhao Yi quickly used up his Rest Coins and then attentively listened to the class. He discovered that learning advanced mathematics was indeed useful.

The knowledge in textbooks was only part of it; when Hu Zhibin explained the problems step by step, his thought process and calculations were slow but very logical.

Following Hu Zhibin’s train of thought, Zhao Yi’s thinking had somehow shifted to the Goldbach Conjecture.

He did have a mission!

After obtaining the "Correlation Law" before the New Year, Zhao Yi had great confidence in solving the Goldbach Conjecture. After talking with Chen Ming, he knew he needed to determine a research direction.

Zhao Yi had two ideas but couldn’t make up his mind.

One was to solve it in general terms, proving that any combination of two prime numbers (including the numbers themselves) can cover all even numbers.

The other was to use the central line method. In detail, take any number as the central axis and find the symmetrical prime numbers before it.

Eventually, prove that either the number itself is prime, or there are prime numbers in the symmetrical numbers of all the previous prime numbers.

These two approaches might theoretically solve the Goldbach Conjecture, but it’s not easy to decide which one is feasible and easier to prove.

"Choosing one is too difficult..."

"Or, should I try both? It’s not necessary to choose only one direction; as long as I determine a direction..."

Zhao Yi thought for a long time and decided to try both directions at the same time.

As long as there is a certain degree of proof and enough conditions are found, one of the directions might be provable.

Then the other direction can be abandoned.

Of course, there might be two other outcomes: either both are not feasible or both are feasible.

"So, maybe two methods can be used to prove the Goldbach Conjecture?"

"This..."

"Sounds interesting!"
