Genius of the Rules-Style System

Chapter 546: Chapter 322: This kid never loses in anything!

Zhou Li sent off Zhao Yi with a bitter smile, and then returned to his writing desk. When he looked carefully at the calculations left behind, he immediately became serious.

Ten minutes.

Half an hour.

One hour... free𝑤ebnovel.com

Zhou Li scrutinized the calculation sheets for almost an hour and a half, and in between, he rubbed his scalp so hard that he had lost quite a bit of thin hair. His heart was filling with more and more despair.

"I... can’t understand...?"

Zhou Li had not expected to encounter such a situation. The steps in the draft paper were clearly written, all carefully deduced by Zhao Yi himself.

Normally, the deduction process in the draft should be logically clear. That means, you should be able to understand it from beginning to end.

Now Zhou Li found himself stuck in a mental blank, as if he were a student who couldn’t understand complex mathematical content. He could understand every line of text on the draft paper, but he didn’t understand how it was deduced.

"Why would he do this here?"

"How did he get to the next step?"

"Why does he need to divide so many sets? It seems each set is for comparison, but what’s the point of doing so?"

"When drawing conclusions..."

Looking at the things on the draft paper, Zhou Li repeatedly went through it, hoping to understand it. But the only question that stuck in his head is, "Why?"

"Why!?"

"Why??"

He realized he couldn’t figure it out, so he picked up his phone intending to call Zhao Yi, but he hesitated for a long time without pressing any buttons.

He was too proud to do so. ƒrēewebnovel.com

As a mathematician with some reputation in China specializing in partial differential equations, it would be absurd to ask a question about solving a wave equation. Especially since Zhao Yi, who was unfamiliar with the principle, had managed to simplify the wave equation in such a short time.

Then...

He didn’t understand the process? He needed Zhao Yi to explain it again?

Did he still have any face left?

"Even if I have to stop this research! Even if I give up research entirely from now on! Even if I give up mathematics! I absolutely cannot ask Zhao Yi again!"

Zhou Li fiercely made up his mind, then continued to bury his head in the draft papers.

...

Zhao Yi didn’t expect he would cause Zhou Li such trouble. He rather thought he had helped solve a problem and felt great joy for having ’helped someone’.

As for Zhou Li’s bad mood when he left...

Zhao Yi thought it was because Zhou Li was eager to do research!

Research is very important.

When you devote yourself to the research, everything else becomes unimportant. It’s normal to neglect your guest when you’re engrossed in research.

Back in his staff dormitory, he returned to his own research --

Simplifying Fermat’s Last Theorem.

Previously, his research on "column ratio elimination" was inspired by the material Edward Witten had sent him. He was certain that it could be used in simplifying Fermat’s Last Theorem. After helping Zhou Li with the "column ratio elimination", he focused on simplifying Fermat’s Last Theorem.

Simplifying Fermat’s Last Theorem is a huge task, even more complex than the complex equation Zhou Li had brought. The most difficult part was the decomposition of factors. Pure equation transformation and analysis could easily make one’s head spin.

Zhao Yi thought it through roughly and had a general idea of the direction of research. However, it would take time to complete. He looked at the time and decided to go to the student dormitory in the evening, where he could also earn a few more ’Leisure Coins’.

Earning Daily Coins is very important.

Compared to the Study Coins earned from research results, the number of Study Coins earned daily is not that much, but there aren’t always results, while ’Daily Coins’ can be earned every day, and the accumulation is not a small amount.

If he can earn about twenty Study Coins a day on average, he can easily surpass seven thousand a year. This is equivalent to achieving three or four influential results, so he’ll earn Study Coins whenever he can.

There is still a lot of time left now.

Zhao Yi suddenly remembered Qian Hong’s research, so he opened it and took a careful look.

In the faculty cafeteria, having listened to Qian Hong’s simple explanation, he already had a general understanding. When he looked at the detailed content, he found it easier to understand.

He quickly figured it out.

What Qian Hong was doing was bottom layer research on internet routing. The main content was intercepting data calculation. The research was just overall content; in practical application, it was like a security system for internet routes.

For example, when a router detects that a connection being accessed has a problem, it would give a prompt.

That was basically what it meant.

The interception and calculation of information by the router is not as simple as this. When expanded, it can extend to many functions. The basic research at the bottom layer just provides the theory, and the specific implementation using code is not the important part.

However, Qian Hong’s research was quite interesting. What attracted Zhao Yi was that her interception system was designed based on the lowest level information transfer.

What she was most concerned with, and the part of her research she was struggling with, was the subsequent calculation processing, which was nothing challenging to Zhao Yi.

Zhao Yi hesitated and thought about it, then decided, "I will design an algorithmic framework for her!"

If the overall algorithmic framework is set up, filling content into it would be relatively simple. Qian Hong should be able to handle the rest, right?

Zhao Yi was still uncertain. After designing the general framework, he made remarks on every part of it, explaining what content needed to be filled in, and the role each part would play in the whole.
