From small town scholar to chief scientist

Chapter 183 Reaction of the Parties
Goldbach conjectures that this mathematical conjecture, in the Great Xia Kingdom, children as young as seven years old, up to old people who are going to be buried in the earth, as long as they have attended school and received nine years of compulsory education,
No stranger to Goldbach's conjecture.

After Zhou Yi, Maynard, and Harold Hoofgot claimed to prove the Goldbach conjecture on social platforms, various media platforms have detonated the news.

A self-media has started discussions on multiple platforms such as bib,

[A wave of rational analysis, Maynard, winner of the Philippine Award in 2022, expert in analytical number theory;

Harold Hoofgott, the weak Goldbach conjecture prover for 13 years, their authority is unquestionable, and it is very difficult for Professor Zhou to stand out from the encirclement. 】

[Look at Maynard's achievements, look at Harold Hoofgot's achievements, and look at Professor Zhou's achievements, I am optimistic about Professor Zhou. 】

[Upstairs, these two foreigners are not your professors, they are the world's top experts in analyzing number theory, please use some brains,
These two people have been studying Goldbach's conjecture since the advent of Zhou's analytical method. Professor Zhou's previous research was Beer's conjecture and 3n+1 conjecture.

So far, Professor Zhou has studied Goldbach's conjecture for at most two or three months. Do you think Professor Zhou will win?

What's more, Professor Zhou's base camp is in the direction of geometry, and the direction of number theory is probably for Professor Zhou's boring research. 】

[Have the people upstairs considered that Professor Zhou and them are right?What should we do at that time? 】

[Upstairs, if it is as you said, it was proved by Professor Zhou. Professor Zhou is backed by three emperors in the mathematics world. If the proofs are similar, and Zhou's analytical method is used, it is estimated that Professor Zhou will win in the end. 】

[Don't you all consider Professor Zhou's age and strength? In just three months, it has proved Goldbach's conjecture that no one in this world can achieve this talent. 】

Zhou Yi didn't know about all kinds of news on the Internet.

Because many people are about to blow up Zhou Yi's phone now.

Just now I hung up on the phone of Dean Miao Lai, and the phone call of President Yu Da Zhang also came.
"Zhou Yi, I'm Principal Zhang. Goldbach guesses that you really proved it?"

Principal Zhang's tone was tinged with urgency.

Zhou Yi said:

"Of course it's proven, don't worry."

"That's good, that's good, it scared me to death."

Principal Zhang just hung up the phone, and Chief Li of the Yuzhou court also called.

"Hello, Zhou Yi?"

Zhou Yi said:

"Hello, Chief Li, I'm Zhou Yi."

Although Chief Li's tone on the other side of the phone was very calm and calm, his frowning brows and anxious eyes had already betrayed him deeply.

This Goldbach's conjecture was the first to hit the Yuzhou Institute for Advanced Study, and it will have a great impact if it is preempted by foreigners.

And Goldbach's conjecture also has a certain ZZ meaning.

If this is proved by the Book of Changes, many things in China may be much easier.

"It's been rumored on the Internet that you proved Goldbach's conjecture, is it true or not?"

Chief Li hesitated for a long time before asking.

Zhou Yi said:

"of course it's true."

Chief Li asked solemnly:

"How sure is Professor Zhou?"

"100% sure! You can't be wrong."

Zhou Yi said sonorously.

"Okay, as long as the academic community recognizes that your proof is correct, we will spare no effort to support you."

Chief Li seemed to have made up his mind.

Zhou Yi said:

"Thank you, I won't be wrong, wait for my good news."

"it is good!"

Chief Li said.

After finishing speaking, Zhou Yi hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Yi began to dictate the proof process in his room, and Peony helped to write the thesis.

And some mathematics professors from Shangjing University have begun to get together and discuss.

"If this really makes Zhou Yi prove Goldbach's conjecture, it will mean that Zhou Yi won a Fields Medal, and our reputation in the No. [-] Mathematics College of Shangjing University may be lost."

"Not only is it not guaranteed, but the prestige of the advanced research institute they plan to build in Yuzhou may not be weaker than that of famous schools such as C9. By then, they will win the Philippine Award and the investment from the imperial court. I am afraid that the prestige will not be weaker than that of Shangjing University, Beijing University, etc. Mizuki University."

A few professors began to complain, obviously fearing that the status of the School of Mathematics of Shangjing University would be lost.

But other professors also said:

"Even the current number academy is far behind Qiu Chengtong's Qiuzhen academy. If you have the time to complain here, you might as well study your own direction. This kind of speech is really embarrassing."

A few people were a little embarrassed by what they said just now, but after seeing who the speaker was, they stopped talking.

It is Academician E Weinan, Academician E who was invited to give a one-hour report at the International Conference of Mathematicians last year.

"Hmph, let's go, don't touch the Zhouyi, and no one is allowed to make trouble secretly about Goldbach's conjecture, but someone is watching."

Academician Wang Shicheng also said,

"Zhou Yi is a native of our Great Xia country after all, so we are not allowed to fight each other."

After speaking, everyone dispersed one after another.

Only two academicians, E Weinan and Wang Shicheng, were left looking at each other.

E Weinan smiled bitterly and said:
"I can still vividly remember the scene of the Zhouyi proof at the last international mathematician conference. I didn't expect that in less than a year, the achievements we have made even we have to look up to."

Wang Shicheng said:
"The key is that these old things are not necessarily good for others. They really don't count. They don't look at their own achievements and what others have achieved. I don't bother to scold them."

Eweinan said:
"It involves factional struggles, as well as power and the right to speak. Who can care less?"

Academician Wang Shicheng was silent for a while, then said:

"Look, I hope Zhou Yi is right and Maynard and the others are wrong. Let's go and find old man Qiu. He has some news. It's useless for us to guess here."

"Let's go, and cooperate with Zhou Yi by the way."

E Weinan also said,

"The direction of machine learning, I may not have a deep understanding of Zhouyi. I don't have a clue about the applicability of Zhou's geometry, but Ugly Country is trying to apply it."

The two old men came out of the courtyard and walked towards Shuimu University.

Zhou Yi, on the other hand, has also entered a state of concentration at this moment. He has used up all the enhanced concentration capsules he saved before, and there is not a single one left.

The purpose is to ensure that the thesis can be completely completed within three days.

As time went by, three days passed in a flash.

With the arrival of spring, all spring flowers are in full bloom.

Three days later, Maynard, Harold Hoofgot, and Zhou Yi, as if they had made an agreement, all posted their papers on arxiv at [-] a.m. Beijing time.

Countless experts began to download these two papers one after another, and even many masters and doctors who studied number theory tried to download and take a look.

As for the civil scientists, so far it is unbelievable that Goldbach's conjecture has been proved.

No, it hasn’t been proven yet, at least not recognized by international colleagues, so Zhou Yi, Maynard and Harold Hoofgot cannot be recognized by our civilian science.

For a while, many bigwigs in the mathematics world were reading these two papers.

Ivaniez, Wiles, Wiles' disciple Anna Cariani, Faljens, Schulz and even the youngest Philippine Prize winner Purcell and many other bigwigs in the field of number theory watched it one after another. stand up.

This is a confrontation between the new generation of mathematicians and the older generation of mathematicians, a collision between the old and the new, and it is the first time that someone wants to stand up and prevent Zhou Yi from solving all the conjectures of number theory.

Qiu Chengtong made a transoceanic call to Mirno,

"Hey, have you read my apprentice's thesis? What do you Princeton number theory experts say?"

Mirno rolled his eyes and replied very unhappily:
"Don't you understand it yourself? You still have to call us to ask us. It's been less than half a day since the paper came out, and you just called. How can it be so fast? It can't be so fast. What about your mathematical literacy, where did you lose it?"

Mirno finally found an opportunity to speak harshly to Qiu Chengtong.

Qiu Chengtong was also annoyed, this old guy really hated himself for robbing his apprentice, so he hung up the phone directly.

Then Qiu Chengtong also read Zhou Yi's paper again.

On the other side of the ocean, Professor Peter Sarneck, the winner of the Wolf Prize, saw Zhou Yi's paper for the first time.

He has already finished researching Zhou's analytical method of Zhou Yi, so it doesn't seem to be that difficult at all.

However, the nearly fifty-page thesis does not seem that simple, and it is necessary to deliberate the proof process in the thesis step by step.

As for Maynard's and Harold Hoofgot's thesis, Peter Sarnak chose to read it later.

Wiles of Oxford University was reading Zhou Yi's thesis at the moment, while calling his apprentice Anna Cariani,

"Oh, Cariani, have you read Zhou Yi's thesis? I only read about ten pages. The proof process is as wonderful as ever. The combination of sieve method, circle method and Zhou's analytic group method is simply wonderful.

I had a hunch he would be right. "

Ana Cariani called back:
"Teacher, why don't you read it first, I am also watching it, and I am also shocked. Now is not the time to share, but to find mistakes. No matter who picks out the mistakes in the papers of the three of them, it must be included in the mathematical analysis of number theory. History, and I want to watch it alone."

Just after finishing speaking, Anna Cariani hung up the phone.

Wiles was stunned and scolded:

"Fk, in the words of the people of Daxia, does this count as deceiving the master and destroying the ancestors?"

Obviously, the status of the three of Zhou Yi in the mathematics world is not low, so the papers of the three of them are bound to be smashed by various bigwigs in the mathematics world.
Moreover, they are competing at the same time, so they will definitely be picky about the accuracy of the thesis, and they will be extremely picky.

At this time, Zhou Yi was sleeping soundly in the room, and the information and calls on his mobile phone were about to explode.

As long as there is contact information in Zhouyi's mobile phone address book, all the people have sent messages.

From elementary school classmates, junior high school classmates, high school classmates to high school teachers, undergraduate roommates, and undergraduate classmates, all sent messages.

Almost all of them are,

[God Zhou, I heard that you conjectured Goldbach? 】

[God Zhou, have you read Maynard's paper? I believe you, but I still want to ask how credible Maynard's paper is? 】

Zhou Yi slept very deeply, taking too many enhanced focus capsules at one time, the side effects were still too great, and he had to sleep to relieve them.

It wasn't until the second day after the paper was posted on arxiv that Zhou Yi slowly woke up.

I remembered it after cooking something for myself,
"I'm Zhuo, what's the date today, Mudan, what's the date today."

A cute and cute voice said:

"It's April [-]rd."

"Damn it, hurry up and check the plane to Yuzhou. I want to go back and accompany Xueer to see peonies."

Zhou Yi said immediately.

"There just happened to be the last one, including the ticket back to Mudan County. It is estimated that it will take about 10 hours for you to get home."

Peony said in a childish voice.

Zhou Yi said:

"Buy it right away, and I'll go back right away."

"Okay master, will Maynard's thesis be transferred to the tablet for you?"

Peony continued.

"Biography! I'd like to see how strong this Philippine award winner and the 13-year-old weak brother Guess are. Don't let me find out the mistakes, or they will be the second Hales."

Zhou Yi said while packing his things.

In this world, only Mathematics and Xia Xue can live up to it. Zhou Yi promised Xia Xue that she can't break her promise.

When a person is successful, countless people will come to flatter you, flatter you, make friends with you, and fawn on you, but only the lover you meet when you are in trouble and the most frustrated is the most cherished person.

Not long after, Zhou Yi packed up his things and went straight to the airport.

Qiu Chengtong, Academician E Weinan, and Academician Wang Shicheng came to Zhouyi's office again, and found that there was still no one in Zhouyi, and asked Zhouyi's students:
"Has Zhou Yi not come today?"

Zheng Keyu said:
"Mr. Qiu, Academician E, Academician Wang, and Teacher Zhou Yi didn't come today either."

"Hey, it shouldn't be. I can't get through the phone. Could it be that I am reading Maynard's paper. Let's go and see where he lives."

Qiu Chengtong immediately said,
"In this case, I don't come out to send a message and explain. Maynard is preparing to give a report on Goldbach's conjecture at Oxford University on April 4. What does this kid think?"

Not long after, the three of them came to Zhou Yi's residence together, and after knocking on the door for a while, no one opened the door, Qiu Chengtong was stunned.

"With such a loud knock on the door, everyone should wake up."

Qiu Chengtong touched his head, very depressed.

Academician E Weinan said

"Call me, I'm not at the residence, I must have gone out."

Qiu Chengtong immediately made a phone call,
Zhou Yi was still waiting for the plane at this time, and just received this call,

"Hello, Teacher Qiu."

"Zhou Yi, what are you doing? Maynard is going to hold a Ge Guess press conference in mid-April, and you didn't give an explanation after you published the paper?"

Qiu Chengtong asked bluntly.

Zhou Yi said:

"Haha, Mr. Qiu, don't worry, I'm sure it's right. I just went back to Yuzhou to accompany my girlfriend to see the peony flowers. If I don't go back, the flowers will all wither. Besides, if I don't go back to offer incense in Qingming, I still have to offer incense."

Qiu Chengtong scolded:
"At such an important moment, you go back to accompany your girlfriend? When can't you go back, what will happen if you don't watch it for a year, come back to me for a report meeting, it must be before Maynard, do you know what this conjecture means to you , do you know how much it will help you to establish the Yuzhou Institute for Advanced Study?

I think future and career are more important to you. "
