Zhao Yi was pondering the theoretical logic, hoping to solve the super-symmetry problem. However, after deep thinking, he found the super-symmetry problem was even more complex than proving the mathematical structure of M theory.
"If I could prove the geometric topology of M theory and find the root of the theory, could I reverse-engineer the mathematical logic of super-symmetry?"
Zhao Yi thought carefully, finding the idea somewhat amusing.
This was like a layman not understanding the role of a computer’s CPU, deciding to comprehend the functions of all other parts first, and then deduce the CPU’s function. At first glance, it seemed plausible, but on second thought, it felt very strange, yet he had no other ideas. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ
"So do I need to prove why Fermat’s Last Theorem works?"
"Why does the Riemann Conjecture work?"
"..."
Upon further reflection, Zhao Yi suddenly found that proving Fermat’s Last Theorem was more meaningful than directly exploring super-symmetry. The latter provided no insights, while the former did have some direction.
He had carefully studied Wiles’ proof.
Though Wiles’ proof contained logical fallacies, the proof process itself was still valuable. Perhaps by thinking in a different way, could he potentially solve Fermat’s Last Theorem?
Thinking of Wiles, who was nowhere to be found, Zhao Yi suddenly felt a sense of mission.
"Yes!"
"Since I proved Wiles wrong, causing a regression in the development of world mathematics, should I solve Fermat’s Last Theorem?"
"Is that the case?"
...
After the national science and technology award ceremony ended, media news everywhere reported on it, with numerous reports mentioning Zhao Yi.
During the few minutes of prime time news coverage on Central TV, lots of time was dedicated to Zhao Yi. They highlighted, "Professor Zhao Yi of Yanhua University has won the First-class Award of Natural Science for his study on 3D tremor waveforms."
"In addition, his led medical mechanism research group made significant progress in rheumatoid arthritis research. They have made a major contribution to fundamental research for future solutions to rheumatoid arthritis, and the project has received the first prize in Scientific and Technological Progress."
Zhao Yi was accustomed to such coverage.
In the past two years, each time he completed influential research, media reporters would cover it. Being on Central TV news was not new to him, and he remained very calm.
However, this time his judgement was wrong. Winning national awards had a much greater impact than before.
In the following days, many people proactively asked Zhao Yi if he planned to start any new projects.
It was fine if they were familiar people, simply showing curiosity and concern for his research, but several inquiring individuals represented significant institutions.
The National Science and Technology Department?
The National Scientific Research Fund?
The National Young Scholars Science Foundation?
Weren’t these the so-called ’big shots’ in academia? As the saying goes ’whoever gives the money is the boss’, those inquiring were all ’money providers’.
The AIDS prevention group of the Science Fund even called the Biomedical Research Institute, asking if Zhao Yi’s laboratory had encountered financial difficulties in their AIDS research project. They also offered to allocate special funds to add two high-end devices to Zhao Yi’s lab.
Upon receiving the call, Yan Xuelin immediately stated his needs. It was rare for these ’cash givers’ to be generous. They straight away offered to provide more financial support for the research...
How great!
The news soon spread around the Biomedical Research Institute. Several researchers were so envious of Zhao Yi’s lab that it drove them crazy. They knew how difficult it was to secure funding for a project.
Zhao Yi’s lab had just completed a large project. Only a few months into the research, the fund was insistent on donating equipment, as if it might fear the institute would decline their offer. The situation was absurd.
In fact, it made sense for institutions like the Science and Technology Department and the Fund to give special preference to Zhao Yi’s research. Firstly, Zhao Yi was truly capable of producing results, his studies were all world-class.
Secondly, Zhao Yi had received recognition from higher-ups. It was only natural for them to show their full support for his research.
They had no need to consider others.
For instance, Professor Zhou Li from the School of Sciences was experiencing the feeling of being overlooked. He had applied for a research project on partial differential equations, which focused on the partial tone analysis of nonlinear wave equations.
Funding for mathematics research projects was often very low. ƒrēewebnovel.com
Zhou Li had symbolically applied for a fund of fifty thousand, but he only received twenty thousand in return. Upon seeing the response from the review, he bitterly laughed, "Twenty thousand? That will probably only cover the cost of subscribing to some mathematics journals. Attending a few academic conferences and the money will be gone..."
All he could do was shake his head and laugh bitterly.
It was no big deal. It was difficult for mathematical research projects to get high funding, and twenty thousand was not too shabby.
If he needed more funding later on, he could always submit a report to apply again.
Zhou Li only felt a moment of melancholy before he began browsing the research content of the professors at the School of Sciences. He opened Zhao Yi’s column and found that Zhao Yi had added a new project, "Fermat’s Last Theorem?"
"Interesting..."
"The approved funding is... one million? Is this a joke?" Zhou Li opened his mouth wide in surprise, thinking he had seen wrong. He rubbed his eyes vigorously. Upon seeing the six zeroes still there, he nearly choked on his spit.
This is too much...
That’s infuriating!
