Chapter 922: Chapter 471 Liu Heming is indeed not an ordinary person!_2
Some people who understood fighter jets felt that the design had reached the very top, that it had peaked and could not be improved upon.
In terms of fighter jet design, one could say there was no room for progress; to enhance the performance of fighter jets further, what was needed wasn’t design but equipment, technology from other areas.
For instance, advanced radar systems, stealth capabilities, electronic signal interference for combat, weapon mounts, and so on.
These were not issues that could be resolved through design alone.
After Liu Jiankun had said all this, he then got to the key issue of the fighter jet design acceptance, "The control system cannot be certified in a short time. As everyone probably knows, Academician Zhao isn’t just a mathematician; he’s also a computer expert, an algorithm specialist. The control system he designed is so complex that our acceptance team, including the Software Institute from the Science Academy who sent representatives, cannot fully understand it in a short time."
"Therefore, I have been considering asking Academician Zhao himself to come and give a lecture, but he is Warhawk-1’s chief designer, and also the control system..."
Before Liu Jiankun could finish, Peng Hongguo raised his voice and said, "No problem! Is it just a matter of us showing support, letting Academician Zhao come? What’s the big deal?"
"I support it, I agree!"
He said while looking around the entire meeting, his glare as if filled with killing intent, "Does anyone disagree?"
At that moment, no one would express disagreement.
Even if they disagreed internally, they wouldn’t stand out and argue; they could only sit quietly. But breaking the rules could not be done so rashly; Liu Jiankun took out a document, had the agreeing parties sign it, and getting Zhao Yi to come and explain by breaking protocol definitely required a report and application to higher-ups.
With so many people signing, it was akin to a collective decision; they all supported Zhao Yi’s coming, directly sharing the risks and adding more persuasive power as well.
All signed their names.
Liu Jiankun himself let out a sigh of relief. As the general manager of the Aviation Group, he couldn’t decide everything; for significant matters, he still needed to report, something he couldn’t take on alone.
Now that everyone agreed, things were simpler.
Very soon.
The Aviation Group contacted Zhao Yi, with Liu Jiankun himself making the call. However, they didn’t get hold of Zhao Yi, but instead reached his life assistant, Qian Hong.
Hearing the person on the other end was looking for Zhao Yi, Qian Hong replied with a single sentence, "Academician Zhao is engrossed in his research and does not wish to be disturbed."
"Research? What is he researching?" Liu Jiankun asked.
"...It’s confidential."
Qian Hong only knew the person on the line was called Liu Jiankun, but didn’t know the specifics, nor could she reveal the contents of Zhao Yi’s research.
Liu Jiankun was about to say he had something important, but then thought better of it and decided to wait. The acceptance work wasn’t going to be finished in a day or two; disturbing Zhao Yi didn’t seem right, "Alright, I’ll call back in a few days."
"Doot doot doot~~~"
Qian Hong hung up the phone, and when she saw Zhao Yi, she briefly mentioned the call.
"Liu Jiankun? Could it be that the acceptance is complete?"
Zhao Yi felt it was a bit strange, so he simply called Liu Jiankun and learned that he was asked to visit the Aviation Group to explain the Intelligent Control System.
That wasn’t really a problem.
But...
The NP problem hadn’t been solved yet!
After some thought, Zhao Yi decided to delay for a few days, "Let’s do it this way, I’ll come over next week; I have some research to wrap up these next few days."
"What research?" Liu Jiankun asked with a frown. freēwēbnovel.com
"...It’s mathematical; you wouldn’t understand it anyway!" Zhao Yi considered explaining, but he felt that Liu Jiankun definitely wouldn’t know about the NP problem, so he simply gave a brief answer.
On the other end.
Liu Jiankun felt belittled; as the general manager of the Aviation Group, he also held the title of ’chief designer,’ actively participating in many aviation projects.
And now he was told ’you wouldn’t understand anyway’?
Mathematics?
"Back in the day, I too had achievements in mathematical research!" Liu Jiankun grumbled to himself and thought that perhaps Zhao Yi had a point. His mathematical achievements were only published domestically, without even a chance to appear in an international journal. After all, his field was aircraft design, quite distant from theoretical mathematical research.
"However..."
"Zhao Yi also does airplane design, coming up with the top-tier design. How could he then be a top mathematician?"
This thought made him sulk again.
...
Three days later.
Zhao Yi stepped out of the faculty housing, stood in the corridor, stretched broadly towards the window, and couldn’t help but smile.
He had completed it.
The NP problem was highly complex, yet he had managed to complete the logical combing and, by transforming it into a three-dimensional graphical representation, ultimately proved that there’s no certain method Y, thereby establishing that NP ≠ P.
After completing the proof, he wanted to publish his findings, thinking that earning some Study Coins would be good too. But considering that the plane acceptance would bring in Study Coins, and with the International Mathematicians Conference about to convene, it seemed improper to not present a report after winning the Fields Medal, or at least have someone else present on his behalf.
"Proving the NP problem?"
"This might become the most famous and influential report in the history of the International Mathematicians Conference!"
Zhao Yi was getting excited.
However, he still needed to decide on submitting his work, ideally getting it published by the end of the International Mathematicians Conference. He pondered for a moment and decided to submit to "Annals of Mathematics."
"Annals of Mathematics" is one of the most influential mathematical journals in the world, renowned for the small number and high quality of published papers. Every paper published in "Annals of Mathematics" can be said to be highly influential.
