Chapter 549: Chapter 323: Further Simplification of Fermat’s Last Theorem

Intelligent and Automation Laboratory, a small office in the corner of the second floor. freewebnøvel.com

Qian Hong was testing the interception function of the network routing facilities, comparing the data feedback of the running program and continuously making records. In simple terms, she was debugging the program to make the intercepted information more effective.

This was her research.

Due to the imperfect algorithm analysis, intercepted information could not be analyzed accurately.

"Still no progress!"

"I have to improve the algorithm, but it’s too hard..."

Looking at the data feed on the screen, Qian Hong grabs her hair in frustration while glancing helplessly at her laptop, a file with Zhao Yi’s algorithm framework displayed on it.

This sight infuriated Qian Hong!

Although she indeed discussed her research with Zhao Yi, she didn’t ask him for direct help. Zhao Yi did say he would give some ’guidance,’ so she should still be doing her research independently.

What happened then?

He sent her a complete algorithm framework!

"Isn’t this disrespectful?"

"What does sending the framework mean? Do you think I can’t design it myself? If I already have the framework, why would I need to do anything? Be a professional typist?"

Well, of course.

She really couldn’t design it herself.

However, that’s not the point. She felt her abilities were being ruthlessly questioned. Not only did Zhao Yi send the algorithm framework, but he also provided very detailed explanations next to each step...

"Is this because he’s afraid I won’t understand?"

Qian Hong’s frustration only grew as she asked herself this. Having an answer handed to her directly―along with detailed explanations―made it feel like her whole research was nothing. She was supposed to discover the answer.

Once everything was already there and all she needed to do was follow the procedures, could it still be called her research?

Qian Hong glanced at the content briefly and decided against looking at it further. Instead, she went to the lab to debug, hoping she could think of a way to perfect the algorithm using her abilities.

As a result...

So far, she hasn’t made any progress, just like the previous few months.

Feeling disheartened, Qian Hong glanced at her laptop screen and comforted herself, "Fine, I’ve already asked Zhao Yi for help. If he helps, I’ll just take a look, see the general content, and then figure it out myself!"

She took a deep breath and carefully examined the algorithm framework on the screen.

After reading each small section, she tried to understand it herself, but couldn’t help glancing at the ’answer’ written next to it.

And then...

It became easier to get a clear understanding!

"This framework is so perfect!"

"It’s really incredible, Zhao Yi!"

"Even my supervisor’s design is far inferior. It’s like it’s tailor-made for my research..."

Having only read a small portion, Qian Hong felt like she grasped a lot of content. As she continued to read, she suddenly woke up from her trance.

Not right!

Something’s wrong!

"I was planning on doing my research myself... How can I just look at the ’answer?’"

"Then it wouldn’t be my research!"

"This is not right!"

"Damn it! It’s all Zhao Yi’s fault!"

Qian Hong gritted her teeth, forcing herself not to look and even shutting down her laptop. Her mind was filled with conflicting distress, and she kept muttering, "Zhao Yi! Damn it! It’s all his fault! All his fault!"

She abruptly stood up and stormed to the staff dormitory.

Meanwhile.

After more than three hours of continuous research, Zhao Yi finally used "Column Ratio Elimination" to complete the most complicated calculation conversion part in the simplification of Fermat’s Last Theorem.

In other words, he successfully simplified Fermat’s Last Theorem.

The definition of Fermat’s Last Theorem is--

For any integer n>2, the equation x^n + y^n = z^n has no positive integer solutions for x, y, z.

In 1816, the Paris Academy of Sciences simplified Fermat’s Last Theorem, reducing it to the case where n is an odd prime.

In other words, Fermat’s Last Theorem was simplified once before - proving the theorem only required proving the case where n is an odd prime.

Now, Zhao Yi simplified it again, considering cases where only factors x and y were odd primes.

To sum it up--

To prove Fermat’s Last Theorem, all one has to do is prove the case where x, y, and n are all odd primes.

This is a significant breakthrough.

Zhao Yi looked at the proof process on the manuscript and suddenly felt a sense of accomplishment. The next step was to organize the content and publish it formally.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The door was suddenly knocked with great force as if an enemy had come to his doorstep.

Zhao Yi slowly walked to the door and looked through the peephole, "Sigh..."

He opened the door and complained, "Why are you knocking so hard? Even if the door’s not yours, your hand is! Qian Hong’s sister, slamming your hand like that... It must hurt! I feel bad too!" This sardonic remark earned him nothing but an eye roll.

"Hmph!"

Qian Hong was unfazed, her eyes intently fixed on Zhao Yi, "You must think I’m an idiot, right?"

"What?"

Zhao Yi was somewhat bewildered.

He initially thought Qian Hong was referring to the previous teasing, like whether he was genuinely sympathetic or not. Instead, he heard her say, "That framework you sent! It’s so detailed with all the annotations!" freēwebnovel.com

Qian Hong gritted her teeth and continued, "You think I’m an idiot, don’t you? Even worried I won’t understand, so you marked each section in detail, but that was my research..."
