Genius of the Rules-Style System

Chapter 418: Chapter 264: A Correct Guess at First Try?

Zhao Yi was not particularly moved by the receipt of the awards. When he won The Nevanlinna Prize, he was very calm, not particularly stirred up. To say he was excited would be far from true.

This probably has something to do with mindset.

A lot of people devoted to scientific research devote their entire lives to their projects, naturally hoping that their achievements will gain recognition.

Zhao Yi did not believe he invested much energy, and his mindset was likely directly related to how much effort he had put in.

If you’ve only conducted a few days of research before receiving a major award, your mindset will naturally be quite casual.

On the contrary, inputting years, even decades, of effort before gaining results makes the need for recognition from the outside world that much greater.

In any case, Zhao Yi did not care much about winning awards, but it is always better to win an award than not, especially when that award also comes with a large sum of prize money, which can play a key role. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com

Upon learning that he had won the Shaw Prize in Mathematical Sciences, Zhao Yi was overjoyed.

This did not affect his enjoyment of college life.

Although there was indeed a lot of public debate, he himself did not mind too much. As usual, he spent his days attending classes and gaming in his spare time. On weekends, he would go out for fun. His life was quite relaxed and leisurely. The only thing that he devoted his energy to was research on prime numbers.

Proving the Goldbach Conjecture is not easy, and now is the time to lay the groundwork. Looking at more content related to prime numbers, and understanding it all, will definitely bring more inspiration in the future.

Once the accumulation is sufficient, serious research can begin.

This is Zhao Yi’s plan.

After a month of carefree living, it was mid-March. After the end of a chemistry class, as he was leaving the classroom with his classmates, he saw Professor Liu Guangzuo from the Intelligent and Automatic Laboratory.

"Hello, Professor Liu."

Zhao Yi greeted and tried to leave directly.

Liu Guangzuo stopped him, looking upset, "Zhao Yi, I called you yesterday. Why did you hang up on me?"

"Ah?"

Zhao Yi, feeling embarrassed, scratched the back of his head, "I didn’t know it was you, and I thought it was a nuisance call." As he spoke he added, "I don’t have your number."

Liu Guangzuo clearly didn’t believe him.

Zhao Yi took out his cell phone and deleted Liu Guangzuo’s number. Then he showed Liu Guangzuo the screen, "Look, yesterday’s record, was it an unknown number?"

Liu Guangzuo was speechless, staring blankly at the screen. He had noticed the delete operation just now, but Zhao Yi had shown him the screen as if nothing had happened, shamelessly telling him that he didn’t have his contact information?

This act was too audacious, wasn’t it?

Liu Guangzuo stared at Zhao Yi’s face and didn’t know what to say. He felt like he couldn’t catch up with the thinking of young people. He finally managed a wry smile, "Ok, I need to talk to you about something."

"Yeah."

Zhao Yi nodded reluctantly and told Fan Lei to go first. He really didn’t want to talk to Liu Guangzuo, who usually showed up only when he needed something.

When he got the call from Liu Guangzuo yesterday he knew that the professor wanted something. What else could Liu Guangzuo want?

It must have been related to the project!

Zhao Yi was no longer a special researcher at the Intelligent Automation Lab and, naturally, he did not want to take on more work. However, Liu Guangzuo had come to him directly, so he had no choice but to listen.

"I came to you about the project."

’As expected!’ Zhao Yi sighed inwardly, nodding as he continued to listen.

Liu Guangzuo said, "It’s about the error correction coding for the National Navigation System." He looked around and felt that it was inappropriate to talk here, so he led Zhao Yi downstairs, continuing, "This project is mainly led by Capital University of Aeronautics and Astronautics. They want our lab to send representatives to the project meeting. This meeting is of great significance, and the deputy designer of the National Navigation Project will be present."

"At first, I thought about going with Professor Qian, but they specifically asked for you and it was Academician Liu who suggested it."

"Academician Liu?"

"Academician Liu is the designer of the National Navigation System." Liu Guangzuo said with a sigh of frustration, "Academician Liu probably thinks I’m not up to it."

Zhao Yi was a world-renowned number theory expert and a top algorithm master. In China, he was definitely the best of the best.

The National Navigation Project was one of the country’s key technology projects, and it attracted attention from all over the country and the world. Massive funding and personnel were involved in the project, and many universities were participating in the development of the National Navigation System.

The Capital University of Aeronautics and Astronautics was in charge of the error correction coding for the National Navigation System.

Error correction coding is crucial to the operation of a navigation system, and it will definitely receive attention from the higher-ups. The Intelligent Automation Lab, having cooperated with Capital University of Aeronautics and Astronautics on the project, was obligated to attend the meeting due to the technical crossover in the project.

Previously, Zhao Yi was a special researcher at the Intelligent Automation Lab, and his name was also listed as part of the project team.

Now, Academician Liu Tong’en had come to the meeting and wished that Zhao Yi would join as well.

Once Liu Guangzuo explained, Zhao Yi knew that he couldn’t get out of it. The National Navigation Project was a major project, and being invited by the designer to participate wouldn’t be possible without good reason and wasn’t something he felt he could refuse.
