His room can also be reproduced exactly as it was, serving as a small attraction for tourists who can see the environment in which Zhao Yi lived and worked while proving Goldbach’s Conjecture. freēwēbnovel.com
Of course, the most important thing is the proof process – the drafts.
Tang Rongxiu hoped that Zhao Yi could donate these drafts to the university.
Zhao Yi had no objections to this.
Indeed, the drafts were of no use to him, perhaps they might mean something to other people, but to him, it was just a pile of rubbish.
Zhao Yi was more concerned about his dorm room, "There are still things of mine in there. Where will I live in the future?"
"We’ve already thought about that."
Tang Rongxiu waved his hand with a laugh, "Zhao Yi, you’re also a professor in the university. Although you’ve only held the position for a short time, the school has decided to allocate a faculty apartment for you. It’s on the third floor in the same building where Professor He lives."
"What?"
Zhao Yi was quite taken aback.
Tang Rongxiu didn’t think much about it, "A professor is the most distinguished talent in a school. This is the treatment you deserve."
Hu Zhibin and Qian Zhijin, who were standing nearby, were somewhat stunned.
A professor simply gets to enjoy a faculty apartment allocated by the school? They had been professors for many years and had never heard of such benefits.
And...
That was the faculty building in the campus!
Although a few of the faculty buildings were built a long time ago and are over 20 years old, and can be considered old buildings, their geographical location within the university campus makes them tremendously valuable. Outsiders who wish to buy these properties wouldn’t even qualify.
If they were to be converted into commercial properties, the price would be at least 50% higher than that of the surrounding buildings.
Tang Rongxiu continued to speak, "As for the things in your room, don’t worry. You can take anything that you must have. All other things, the school has decided to compensate you hundred times their value."
"Really?"
Zhao Yi’s eyes lit up, "Can I go in and take a look?"
"Yes."
Zhao Yi entered the room alone, while everyone else piled up at the door.
He saw a fountain pen on his desk, a high-end fountain pen that he had bought for over four hundred yuan. He picked it up and showed it to Tang Rongxiu, "This was more than four hundred, right?"
"No problem!" Tang Rongxiu waved his hand without a care.
Hundred times of four hundred yuan was forty thousand yuan, which was nothing to him, as if giving Zhao Yi a bonus.
Zhao Yi moved on to the next item, his computer. He decided to copy the contents out of it and leave the computer there.
A computer costing over ten thousand yuan, at a hundred times the price would be over a million yuan?
"This...".
The color drained from Tang Rongxiu’s face, but he gritted his teeth and nodded.
Over a million yuan!
It sounded like a lot, but in comparison to proving Goldbach’s Conjecture, it’s really nothing. The school had indeed decided to award Zhao Yi a large amount of prize money.
Zhao Yi looked around his room and finally fixed his gaze on the robot covered by the plastic cloth in a corner.
He pointed to the robot and said, "I won’t take this with me."
Tang Rongxiu was wondering what it was. He took a closer look and nearly jumped out of his skin.
A robot...?
That thing is worth at least tens of thousands, maybe even over a hundred thousand yuan, right?
He took a deep breath and quickly said, "Take it away! Take it away right now! No need for the robot!"
"Didn’t you say you would compensate hundred times the value for all items?" Zhao Yi said, slightly annoyed, "I still want to leave the robot here. I believe it played a decisive role in helping me solve Goldbach’s Conjecture."
"..."
Tang Rongxiu, face dark, turned to look at Qian Zhijin, "Professor Qian, did you teach Zhao Yi this?"
Qian Zhijin was immediately at a loss for words.
...
Amid the flurry of public opinion, it was now early June.
On the first day of June, the latest issue of the "Mathematics Society Magazine" was released. Many people got hold of the magazine and opened the contents page straight away to find the article they were looking for–
"Every even integer greater than two can be expressed as the sum of two primes"
This is a straight-to-the-point title.
Many readers saw the author’s name immediately after reading the title: Zhao Yi.
"I knew it!"
"It really is Zhao Yi! That top-notch Chinese mathematician!"
"I heard he is not even 20-years-old yet, the creator of the three-dimensional tremor waveform, and has also proven the Collatz Conjecture!"
"From now on, I dare say that in the field of number theory, no one can compare with him!"
"..."
The "Mathematics Society Magazine" published Goldbach’s Conjecture along with comments from the proof-reviewing editor beneath it.
Old Dengen’s comment read, "His proving process is simple and direct. It’s about analyzing the factors of complex results.
"The method of limit analysis he used is very creative!"
Suddenly, everyone’s attention was on the proofing process.
The news quickly spread back to China.
The official website of Yanhua University instantly posted a celebratory feature, titled, "Congratulating our Professor Zhao Yi, on proving Goldbach’s Conjecture, one of the world’s top unsolved mathematical problems!"
The media was quick to react and, without wasting any time, rushed to Yanhua University to interview Zhao Yi.
The internet also erupted.
In China’s primary school textbooks, there is an introduction to Goldbach’s Conjecture, as well as the story of Chen Jingrun’s "1+2" proof. Zhao Yi went even further and proved Goldbach’s Conjecture. It’s easy to imagine the uproar this would cause.
The internet search hotspots were immediately occupied by keywords like ’Zhao Yi proves Goldbach’s Conjecture’, ’Goldbach’s Conjecture cracked by Zhao Yi’, and so on.
