From small town scholar to chief scientist

Chapter 148 Mr. Qiu's Graduation Requirements
After Zhou Yi boarded the plane and left, Yuan Zhen and Lu Daosheng returned to the office with Zhou Yi's manuscript.

Cao Jin looked at the things in their hands and said doubtfully:
"What are you holding?"

The two said secretly:
"No, nothing. Nothing."

"Ok?"

Cao Jin looked at the two without anger.

Yuan Zhen immediately disarmed and surrendered, saying:

"Guard~ God Zhou wanted to throw away the manuscript paper, so we put it away."

When Cao Jin heard this, he immediately said righteously:

"Why do you put this kind of thing in your hands? Hand it over to the academy and let the academy take care of it."

Lu Daosheng complained in his heart, the college is still in your custody.

But it was still a last resort, and he handed over the manuscript paper in his hand.

A thick stack of calculation and derivation papers were all given to Cao Jin, and Cao Jin said:
"Go get busy."

The moment Zhou Yi stepped off the plane, the heat wave that hit his face still made Zhou Yi feel the unique aristocratic taste of Shangjing.

After leaving the airport, Zhou Yi took a taxi directly and went straight to Shuimu University.

While in the taxi, Zhou Yi called Qiu Chengtong.

"Hello, Teacher Qiu? I'm Zhou Yi."

"Zhou Yi, is the project finished? Why do you think of calling me?"

Qiu Chengtong asked.

Zhou Yi:.,

What you said, can't I call you if I have nothing to do?

"My work on the State Grid project has been completed. Academician Cao and the others should be able to complete all the work in the next few days. I will go to Shuimu University soon."

Zhou Yi said.

"Then I'll ask Xiao Wanyi to meet you at the school gate, and I'll solve your enrollment problem by the way."

Qiu Chengtong said on the other end of the phone.

Not long after, Zhou Yi paid the fare and came to this famous school with a history of more than a hundred years.

As soon as Zhou Yi got out of the car, he saw Xiao Wanyi wearing a pink JK skirt.

"Student, hee hee."

Xiao Wanyi said hello from a long distance away, and at the same time walked towards Zhouyi holding an umbrella.

Fair skin looks extra delicate under the sun.

Zhou Yi carried the big and small bags and said:
"Trouble senior sister."

"Hee hee, don't worry, I'll lead the way for my junior."

Xiao Wanyi said with a smile.

Not long after, Zhou Yi followed Xiao Wanyi's footsteps and came to a room belonging to Zhou Yi. It had a separate bathroom and could even cook. It was a shrunken version of a house.

"Student, put down your salute and come with me to meet Teacher Qiu and the office where you will be in the future."

Xiao Wanyi said with a smile.

Ever since Xiao Wanyi saw it, her smile never stopped.

Zhou Yi nodded and said:
"it is good."

Not long after, Zhou Yi came to a relatively large office, and Qiu Chengtong was also in it.

Seeing Zhou Yi, Qiu Chengtong said directly:
"I didn't expect you to solve their problems so quickly."

Zhou Yi said:

"I just got some inspiration from the paper I wrote before, so I can solve it quickly."

Qiu Chengtong nodded and said:
"That's good, just settle it. This is the office for you and Wanyi's future. As for your graduation requirements, everyone is different, so I'll tell you all.

For Zhou Yi's graduation application, my request is very simple, at least prove a world-class conjecture, not limited to any direction.

But here I do not recommend that you continue to study the ABC conjecture. This thing is currently a bottomless pit, but you can start to study the related number theory conjectures.

For example, Goldbach's conjecture, Kadotani's conjecture, Polignac's conjecture or the form of Polignac's conjecture K=1 are all good ways to start. "

Zhou Yi smiled wryly and said:

"Indeed, the ABC conjecture is indeed too difficult. As far as my current work is concerned, I don't know how long it will take to completely solve it. Even if I have a certain idea, it may not be right to go on."

Qiu Chengtong said:
"Yes, it is very difficult, and in terms of importance, the conjectures I mentioned above are not as important as the ABC conjecture, but the degree of ease is easier. For example, studying the form of Polignac's conjecture K=1 is Isn't it possible to study Zhou's conjecture in number theory first?"

Zhou Yi nodded. What his teacher said was the truth. Among the conjectures just mentioned, the simplest one might be Zhou's conjecture.

The second is the twin prime conjecture.

The form of Polignac's conjecture K=1 is the twin prime conjecture.

The Polignac conjecture was born in 1849. It was proposed by Alphonse de Polignac: For all natural numbers k, there are infinitely many pairs of prime numbers (p, p + 2k). The case of k = 1 is the twin prime conjecture.

Qiu Chengtong really couldn't figure out why Zhou Yi wanted to engage in quantity, wouldn't it be nice to follow him in differential geometry?

"Actually, you can also do differential geometry with me. Geometry is the most essential means to understand the world."

Qiu Chengtong still wanted to persuade and said.

Zhou Yi shook his head when he heard the words, and said:
"I want to try it."

very stubborn.

Qiu Cheng agreed with his inner evaluation.

"Okay, I had some manuscripts on number theory when I was studying geometry, and I can borrow them for you to take a look at."

Qiu Chengtong said in a helpless tone.

Zhou Yi's eyes lit up when he heard this, and it turned out that his teacher, like a legend, was willing to share some of his ideas.

Zhou Yi has always been working behind closed doors, unable to communicate with the outside world at all, occasionally communicating with Schultz but not gaining much.

As for the rest, either the research direction is different, or there is no common language.

If there are some other different ideas, it may be able to help Zhouyi prove the ABC conjecture.

This is also the reason why many people sharpen their heads and want to learn from famous teachers.

Because some ideas that some masters came up with while studying a certain mathematical problem are some ideas of a certain conjecture.

They just didn't know it at the time.

This kind of thinking is generally recorded in the manuscript, or in the mind of the big guy.

When you are talking about your own research problem, your teacher can choose a train of thought that best suits the situation for you from many trains of thought.

"Thank you, Teacher Qiu."

Zhou Yi said gratefully.

Qiu Chengtong nodded and said:

"Wanyi, your graduation requirements are much simpler than Zhouyi's. Three core and one area SCI."

Xiao Wanyi nodded and said:

"I will work hard, Teacher Qiu."

"Don't think about relying on other people's help, or asking someone to help you write for you. You have to go on the road of mathematics to know the scenery ahead. Shan Peng is your role model."

Qiu Chengtong said.

Xiao Wanyi said:
"Good teacher, sister Shan is my role model."

Qiu Chengtong was silent for a while and said:
"With your current age, the honors you have received, and the papers you have published, I think you can do better than her."

Xiao Wanyi's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she said:
"Teacher Qiu, I will work hard!"

Since he decided to be with mathematics, who would be willing to be weaker than others, except of course Zhouyi.

"It's not the old man, I discriminate. This graduation requirement is customized according to your current level. With Zhou Yi's current level, it is impossible for the old man to ask Zhou Yi to publish the SCI of the second, third, and first areas. Then he will randomly start from the field of Zhou's geometry. Just dig a little deeper;
I will not raise the requirements for you, Xiao Wanyi, and let you prove a world-class conjecture. It is the original intention to formulate a study plan that suits you according to your level. "

Qiu Chengtong explained, lest the two of them have different ideas.
