From small town scholar to chief scientist

Chapter 182 Preempted?

When Zhou Yi's two doctoral students and postdocs were announced, it caused a lot of repercussions on the Internet.

[Who are Professor Zhou's four apprentices?Count their achievements. 】

[The first 24-year-old girl, Chu Li, is from Aurora University and has published two SCI articles in the second area and three SCI articles in the third area, her strength]

Less than two hours after Zhouyi's announcement, the news of several apprentices has spread all over the Internet.

An alternative unified examination for postgraduate admissions is already quite popular, not to mention that this unified examination is an exception and specially prepared for Zhou Yi, so the popularity will not be low.

At this time, Zhou Yi met his four apprentices in a large lecture hall of Chongqing University.

When the four students looked at Zhou Yi, who was younger than themselves, they were inevitably shocked.

News about Zhouyi is flying all over the Internet. As for the true level of Zhouyi, only those who study mathematics know.

Not very fierce, but very, very fierce.

Various awards have already been taken softly.

Zhou Yi said:

"I am very glad that you have joined my team. Now let me tell you about the graduation requirements. Under my doctoral program, at least 2 SCI papers in District 1 are required, and other small papers are not counted;

After doing a Ph.D., there are three SCI papers in District 1. Once you graduate, Yuzhou will recruit you through talent introduction. There will be a lot of settling allowance, and the amount of settling allowance depends on your achievements and how many years you have spent with us related to subsequent levels.

The strength is strong enough, and it is not a problem to enter colleges and universities. My graduation requirements are not very high, but I hope you will not waste your talents and waste the precious time of the past few years.
Instead, you should make good use of your time and produce more results.

Your doctor’s diploma and degree certificate will be those of Shuimu University. If your level is sufficient, I will also contact Princeton that year and send you to 2+2 Ph.D.

Do you have any questions? You can ask now. If you can’t accept it, you can quit directly without delay. "

The four of them looked at each other, how could they not accept it.

Chu Li said:

"Mr. Zhou, what is the direction of our research? I first studied the direction of probability theory. I read your information and it seems that there is not much involved in the direction of probability theory."

Learning mathematics is to go straight to the point. Zhou Yi, who is secretive, still finds it troublesome. If they don't ask, Zhou Yi will feel strange.

Zhou Yi said:

"Wang Guangzhou, Bai Yuting and Chu Li, you three seem to be doing algorithms before, I think you can work on artificial intelligence with me,

As for Zheng Keyu, I read your information and it seems that you are very keen on the direction of basic mathematics. I suggest learning geometry with me.

If you have an opinion, you can speak it directly, and there is no need to go around in a wrong way. This is related to your future. If you have any ideas, you must tell me as soon as possible. "

Chu Li said:

"Hee hee, it just so happens that I also like to engage in artificial intelligence, so it's such a happy decision."

After Chu Li finished talking about Zhou Yi, she looked at the rest of the people,
After pondering for a while, several people said:

"Then follow Teacher Zhou's arrangement."

Zhou Yi's scientific research assistants, they are very clear about the algorithm involved, which company in the world would not covet it.

Especially complex speech recognition technology and complex graphic technology.

If there is a further breakthrough, it is likely to trigger a revolution in artificial intelligence.

Seeing that they agreed, Zhou Yi said:
"Okay, you guys should go to Shuimu University to report before March 3. I've already made an agreement with Mr. Qiu.

But there is one thing, we in Yuzhou are planning to establish an institute for advanced studies, and there will be a Yuzhou Institute for Advanced Study University, similar to the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, and you can also choose a diploma from the Yuzhou Institute for Advanced Study University. "

Zhouyi gave them a choice. If they wanted to choose the latter, they would be fine, but there was a high probability that they would not choose the latter.

"Okay, Mr. Zhou."

The two Ph.D students said immediately.

After dealing with these matters, Zhou Yi and Xia Xue went to the library together in the next few days, and the results of the master's unified examination came out.

The ten people who finally entered the interview were all with the highest initial test scores.

In the two courses of "Mathematical Analysis" and "Advanced Algebra", among the ten students, there are 3 full marks, and the competition is very fierce.

One of the first degree with full marks is a junior college, all the way up to the undergraduate, and then take the postgraduate entrance examination, this operation directly made Zhou Yi feel numb,
There are still such inspirational people, really should not be underestimated.

But even if he passed the exam all the way from the junior college, Zhou Yi would not give him more interview points for these reasons,

This will be unfair to the rest of the students, who have the ability to get out of so many outstanding students.

Otherwise, it should be eliminated or eliminated.

After a series of re-examination procedures,

As usual, Zhou Yi asked the girl in front of him who passed the college entrance examination:

"What is your plan for the future of mathematics?"

Shen Yiyu said firmly:

"I want to go on the path of studying mathematics and studying mathematics. There is no one else, and I will do it out of love. As Mr. Qiu said, I will spend my whole life pursuing the truth, that's all."

Quite satisfactory, similar to the rest of the answers, nothing bright.

The scores obtained are exactly the same as those of the previous nine people.

In the end, Zhou Yi determined two undergraduates to follow him to study as a graduate student, namely Zhang Dugang and Shen Yiyu.

Among them, Zhang Dugang is from Shuimu University, Shen Yiyu, the girl's first degree is from a junior college, and her second undergraduate degree is from a non-mathematics department.

This girl, Shen Yiyu, was killed out of all famous college students.

The solid foundation made the professors of Yu University who participated in the re-examination take a high look.

If Zhou Yi didn't want her, they even planned to let Shen Yiyu take the Yuzhou University exam the next year.

Finally, the huge ceremonial unified examination was completely over. Zhou Yi took photos with volunteers and teachers from all walks of life, and expressed his gratitude. Then he treated guests to dinner at the big hotel at noon to express his gratitude.
After being busy, the volunteers and participating teachers have been busy for about a month, and Zhou Yi must express something.

In the afternoon, Zhou Yi still met with two master apprentices and said:
"Are you two still in school, or have you graduated?"

Zhang Dugang said:
"I'm still in my senior year and I'm graduating this year, but I don't have much to do next semester. I can do scientific research with Teacher Zhou at any time."

Shen Yiyu on the side looked a bit ugly, and said in a somewhat unconfident tone:

"Teacher Zhou Zhou, I still have to write a graduation thesis. I may not be able to report at Shuimu University until after I finish my undergraduate defense in May."

Zhou Yi said:

"Well, it's okay, your basics are enough, it's okay for two months at night, I will send you the books you should read in advance.

Write your undergraduate thesis well, and you can also refer to my undergraduate thesis.

As for Zhang Dugang, read the book I sent you first, and get started as soon as possible. "

After Zhou Yi finished speaking, he left.

It is really tiring to lead apprentices.

Damn task four doesn't know when it will be completed.

Zhou Yijian said goodbye to Xia Xue and people from all walks of life in Yuzhou after dealing with various matters in Yuzhou.

Before leaving, Principal Zhang said to Zhou Yi at the airport:

"The address of the Yuzhou Advanced Research Institute has been selected."

Zhou Yi said:

"Oh? Where did you choose the address?"

Principal Zhang said:
"Secret it, the higher-ups asked me to tell you when the time comes."

Zhou Yi said speechlessly:
"It's still so mysterious."

Principal Zhang said:
"The Yuzhou Institute for Advanced Study and the University of Yuzhou Institute for Advanced Study will occupy a large area, and the equipment and equipment will be the most advanced. Secondly, it may take 2-3 years to complete the construction."

Zhou Yi nodded and said:
"Okay, I came back around that time, just in time to put it into use."

Not long after, as the plane took off, Principal Zhang also let out a long sigh, and murmured:
"I hope that the Institute for Advanced Study can be successfully brought up by Zhou Yi. By then, it will change the pattern of colleges and universities in the Great Xia Kingdom."

As the plane landed, Zhou Yi arrived at Shuimu University safely.

Zhou Yi's office was next door when he was a graduate student.

Just as Zhou Yi put down his salute, Qiu Chengtong's phone call came.

"Hello Zhouyi? I'm Qiu Chengtong."

On the other end of the phone, a calm voice rang.

Zhou Yi picked up the phone and said:
"It's me, Teacher Qiu."

"Well, Shuimu University has arranged for you an undergraduate teaching subject, which is advanced algebra. I didn't want you to take this course, because learning well and teaching well are two different things, but considering your mathematics competition I won the national championship, and I found out that you have taken classes in educational institutions, so I still arranged a class for you."

Qiu Chengtong said.

"Uh, good."

Zhou Yi said helplessly, there is no way, the university professors seem to have to go to class.

In the next few days, while studying Goldbach's conjecture, Zhou Yi asked newly recruited doctors and postdoctoral fellows to study Zhou's geometry,

Especially Zheng Keyu, if he wants to go in the direction of pure numbers, he must be proficient in Zhou's analytical method and Zhou's complex analytical method in order to go further.

The two master students, at their current level, could not understand the basics of Zhou's geometry, so they could only look at functional analysis first.

As for the people on the military side, they seemed to have forgotten about Zhou Yi and hadn't contacted them all the time, which made Zhou Yi very embarrassed.
The application task is only one-third complete.

Fortunately, the system is more user-friendly, allowing Zhou Yi to submit it first.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for gaining 3 math experience, 1 physics experience, 3 chemistry experience, and 8W material science experience. Three lucky draws, 500 points."

Zhou Yi directly opened the character attribute panel.

[Host: Zhou Yi.

Zhou Yi still decided to save up and not draw a lottery.

In the following days, it was very peaceful, studying Guessing, leading apprentices, and giving lectures.

Zhou Yi used draft paper to write and draw in the office. Looking at each draft paper, Zhou Yi was very satisfied and was about to prove it.

At least three days, at most a week, Zhou Yi will hold a press conference.

Then there is a proof meeting on Goldbach's conjecture in April.

Just when Zhou Yi was secretly happy, the world of mathematics ushered in an earthquake!
The 2022 Fields Medal winner Maynard and the 2013 weak Goldbach conjecture prover Harold Hoofgot announced at Oxford University,

They proved Goldbach's conjecture and prepared to post the manuscript on arXiv three days later.

This shocked the entire analytic number theory community.

After Qiu Chengtong got the news, he came directly to Zhou Yi's office, panting and said:

"Zhou Yi, to what extent have you reached the Goldbach Conjecture research? The young man Maynard announced that he has proved his conjecture."

Qiu Chengtong and Zhou Yi's students looked at Zhou Yi one after another,

Zhou Yi said:

"It's almost three days. It's the last step and finishing work."

Qiu Chengtong said eagerly:
"Hey, those are Maynard and Harold Hoofgot. They are both king-level figures in analytic number theory. Since they claim to prove it, it is probably true. You are slow!"

Qiu Chengtong was very anxious.

It is unimaginable for the people of Great Xia to prove the meaning of Ge Guai in China.

How could Qiu Chengtong not be in a hurry to be caught first.

At this moment, Zhou Yi's cell phone rang, and it was Dean Miao Lai's call. No need to guess, it must be something he wanted to ask his brother to guess.

This makes people not anxious.

The process that the two kings of analytic number theory worked out must be flawless.

Zhou Yi said:

"Don't worry, in case it's wrong, we haven't read the paper yet, and it has to go through peer review. I also sent a message announcing the proof of Goldbach's conjecture. Anyway, some finishing work takes two or three days. Three days Then I posted the manuscript as well.”

Not long after, Zhou Yi updated his Twitter, scientific research assistant and other platforms,

[Coincidentally, I have also proved Goldbach's conjecture, and attached the manuscript to arXiv three days later. 】

With Zhouyi's spare no effort to promote the scientific research assistant, coupled with the expansion of the Hundred Schools Alliance, the number of registered users has exceeded one million.
The number of members alone has exceeded [-], and there are tens of thousands of foreign users.

So the news of Zhouyi spread at an extremely fast speed.

After Zhou Yi finished speaking, he said:

"In the next three days, I will be in retreat for three days, and my two doctoral students will temporarily help me with the class."

After Zhou Yi finished speaking, regardless of the public opinion on the Internet or abroad, he directly returned to his residence with his computer.

Originally, Zhou Yi didn't want to be angry, but this situation can only be compared with speed.

Maynard and Harold Hoofgot did not hang up the manuscript immediately because it was not perfect and they were still preparing.

When Maynard heard the news, he said to Harold Hoofgot:

"Hey, buddy, Mr. Zhou also announced the proof of Goldbach's conjecture. It seems that we are about to collide with him. This is really bad news. The key is that we haven't finished the proof yet, and we have to write it for three days. Otherwise, I really want to attach the manuscript to arxiv, at least to ensure that when the ideas are consistent, we can be the first.”

Harold Hoofgot says:

"I don't sleep these two days, perfect our manuscript, and we release the manuscript according to the agreed time. This is the only chance we have to win Zhouyi. We should defeat him head-on, shouldn't we?"

Maynard said:
"That's right! His talent is too amazing. If it weren't for Zhou's analytical method, we wouldn't be able to win the crown of number theory head-on.

At that time, let's see if our thinking is the same, or if either of us has an error in the thesis, if the three of us really come forward at the same time, at least this conjecture will bear the names of the three of us, which is not a loss. "

It has to be said that Zhou Yi gave them a higher sense of urgency than they gave Zhou Yi.

After all, it is the name of the shadow tree of a person, and that is Zhou Yi, a mathematical genius who is rarely seen in a hundred years!
