From small town scholar to chief scientist

Chapter 207 The First Temptation
While Zhou Yi and others were listening to the speeches of the awardees, the news on the Internet had already spread.

In the list of about 30 people, there are four Chinese, but only three Daxia nationality. The change of nationality by Ye Jun, the winner of the Fundamental Physics Breakthrough Award, also caused countless people to scold.

[One thing to say, Professor Zhou deserves the Mathematics Breakthrough Award, but the strength of the island country should not be underestimated. We need to be on guard, /fist/fist, /flag. 】

[The winner of the Physics Breakthrough Prize actually changed his nationality. I want to scold him for forgetting his ancestors.Look at Professor Zhou, he has made such great achievements, and he thinks that he will establish an advanced research institute in Yuzhou, which is a role model for Yuzhou people. 】

[Don't force the money upstairs, Professor Zhou is a district and county person that the locals in the main city of Yuzhou despise. 】

[I don't want to comment on how the others are doing, but Professor Zhou is awesome (broken sound). 】

[It's been a long time since Professor Zhou posted a post. I miss the time when Professor Zhou used to advertise. Huh, I didn't cherish it before. Now I beg Professor Zhou to come out and interact with us. 】

[Blind guess that Professor Zhou will not come out to pretend, it is just a scientific breakthrough award. Last time Professor Zhou won the Cole Number Theory Award, he did not come out to pretend. 】

Zhou Yi was not very clear about the various news on the Internet, and he didn't want to know. The party was going on, and the first thing Zhou Yi found were Wang Hong and Wang Yilin.

Compared with Ye Jun, Ye Jun has achieved a very high status and achievements in Ugly Country,

Adolph Lun Award, U.S. Presidential Early Career Award in Science and Industry, Arthur Fleming Award, Friedrich Wilhelm Bessel Research Award, William Meigs Award, Stratton Award, Rabbinic Award , Carl Zeiss Research Award.

He has received various awards, and he is still working in an important position in the Ugly Country. He is also a person who went out a generation earlier. It is very difficult to get them back.

So to win over Wang Hong and Wang Yilin, the hope is greater.

Wang Hong and Wang Yilin were a little surprised when they saw Xu Chengyang and Zhou Yi coming. Both Zhou Yi and Xu Chengyang were their seniors.
His achievements are also higher than theirs, and he even took the initiative to find them.

Xu Chengyang took the lead in introducing:

"This is Wang Hong, our proud son of Shangjing University, this is Wang Yilin, and this is Professor Zhou Yizhou from Shuimu University."

Zhou Yi said politely:
"Hi, Professor Wang."

Wang Hong and Wang Yilin said:
"Hello, Professor Zhou, and Professor Xu."

Zhou Yi didn't beat around the bush, and went straight to the point. People who study mathematics don't like to go round and round.

Zhou Yi said:

"I would like to invite you to come back and join the Institute of Mathematics of the Yuzhou Institute for Advanced Study in the future."

The two were taken aback for a moment. They had never heard of this incident at all, and they paid little attention to domestic affairs, so they didn't know anything about the Institute for Advanced Study that Zhou Yi suddenly mentioned.

But Zhou Yi's name is famous.

Wang Hong said:

"Institute of Mathematics, Yuzhou Institute for Advanced Study? Can Professor Zhou explain it in detail?"

After a while, Zhou Yi finished his explanation.

Wang Yilin said:
"A mathematics center composed of young people sounds very good, but we have achieved some achievements abroad..."

Wang Hong also looked embarrassed,
Wang Yilin is at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Wang Hong is also at the University of California, Los Angeles. They are both famous schools. When they come back suddenly, not only the status is very different, but the scientific research atmosphere may not be so strong.

Maybe you have to face all kinds of trivial matters, and wrestle with some old things in China.

The latter is what they don't want to see. The difficulties ahead, the gap in status, and the lack of strong academic atmosphere can be overcome. Thinking about intrigue with old things is the most tiring.

Zhou Yi also guessed what they were thinking. Xu Chengyang came back and left for this reason before, and Tan Mingming was also reluctant to return to China for this reason.

Zhou Yi said:

"The Institute of Mathematics of Yuzhou Institute for Advanced Study will not only join me, but also Professor Xu Chengyang, Professor Zhang Wei, and Huang Jingying, who won the Sloan Research Award, will also join. In addition, Professor Shan Peng from Shuimu University, and Ding Jian from Shangjing University Professor Liu Gang, who was invited by ICM to give a report last year, will join.

As for the intrigue with the old things, don't worry, the southwest and western regions will fully support us, and there are also high-level central officials who will also support us.

Similar to the scientific research institution of Ms. Yan Pengcheng.And we will not be short of funds, and the salary and benefits are top-notch, and it should be Jieqing who comes back. "

Zhou Yi gave all the conditions he could.

Xu Chengyang on the side also said:
"With Professor Zhou's conditions, it is definitely better at home than abroad. Isn't it better to serve the motherland, and you can reunite with your relatives. If you don't return home when you are rich, it's like walking at night in brocade clothes."

Hearing this, Zhou Yi felt that Xu Chengyang also had some things, and he was quite good at speaking. At least in the past few years after returning to China, some things were tempered.

Wang Hong said:

"Professor Zhou, let me think about it. After all, this matter is not a trivial matter for me. It is a life choice and a big fork in my life. I have to think about it carefully."

Wang Yilin also said:

"Professor Wang Hong is right, I also need to think about it."

Zhou Yi nodded and said:
"That's fine. After all, it's a big deal, not a trivial one. However, our funding and salary are not lower than those of foreign countries. I hope you can think about it."

"Okay, thank you Professor Zhou for your kind invitation."

The two said.

Zhou Yi said:

"Then let's go to Academician Ye Jun."

"it is good."

Not long after, Zhou Yi went to where Ye Jun was.

Ye Jun has not only won many awards, but is also an academician of the Ugly National Academy of Sciences and a foreign academician of the Great Xia National Academy of Sciences. His strength is beyond doubt.

So the stronger the strength, the more difficult it is to dig it back.

Not long after, Zhou Yi and Ye Jun met.

Ye Jun was a little surprised that Zhou Yi would come to him. Now that mathematics and physics are gradually forking and slowly separating, it seems that the connection is not as close as before.

Could it be cooperation.

Zhou Yi was the first to speak and said:
"Academician Ye, how are you?"

Jun Ye said:

"Professor Zhou, hello."

Zhou Yi said:

"I don't know if Academician Ye knows about the Yuzhou Advanced Research Institute founded by Yuzhou Future?"

Ye Jun seemed to have a little understanding, and said:

"I've heard about it, but I don't know exactly what it is."

Zhou Yi immediately told Yuzhou Advanced Research Institute in detail.

After Ye Jun listened, he was silent for a while and said:
"Thank you Professor Zhou for your kindness. I don't think I have any plans to return to China for the time being."

Zhou Yi frowned, this was the first time he was directly rejected.

Zhou Yi said:

"We can also provide funds that can be provided by foreign countries, and the salary will definitely not be lower than that of foreign countries. In addition, we will also strongly support the selection of domestic academicians."

Ye Jun shook his head shallowly and said:

"It's not about these problems, nor about the academic atmosphere, but about communication. In short, Professor Zhou, thank you very much for your kindness. I'm really sorry."

Zhou Yi said:

"When the time comes, the director of the Yuzhou Institute of Advanced Research Cloud Physics will definitely be yours. Isn't Academician Ye thinking about it? There is no need to reject me directly."

Ye Jun said very politely:
"Thank you, Professor Zhou, for your kindness. I'm really sorry, sorry."

Hearing this, Zhou Yi also said very politely:
"Okay then, we respect Academician Ye's choice. I'm very sorry for interrupting you abruptly."

As soon as Zhou Yi finished communicating, many people came towards Zhou Yi.

There are only three categories of subjects covered by this banquet, mathematics, physics, and biology.

But Zhou Yi's reputation is a bit big, and mathematics has a great influence on physics and biology. If you make friends with a mathematician like Zhou Yi,
Maybe we can cooperate in the future.

There are many people from the island country.

Although Zhou Yi hated the archipelago people, he still chatted and laughed with them very politely.

There are so many people and so many reporters here, if one fails to handle it well, it may cause serious diplomatic incidents.

It even puts itself at a very disadvantageous position in international public opinion.

This is a disadvantageous position of misconduct, and it happened under the witness of many top scientists, and it cannot be washed away.

After dealing with these people, Zhou Yi returned with a drunken face.

This group of people is so enthusiastic, there are even scientists engaged in physics who take the initiative to take a photo with Zhou Yi, which Zhou Yi did not expect.

Fortunately, Zhou Yi exercised every day and drank health potions, otherwise he really wouldn't be able to deal with this group of people.

Zhou Yi returned to his apartment with a trace of drunkenness, and then fell asleep directly after washing with the last trace of sobriety.

The next day, Zhou Yi came to the office to study as usual.

Zhouyi already has an idea for the twin prime number conjecture. Turning a corner from the idea of ​​proving the elder guess, the sieve method, the circle method combined with Zhou's analytical method can also open up a new way.

When Zhou Yi was writing seriously,
Shen Yiyu and Zhang Dugang whispered,
"Old Zhang, why don't you say that our directors don't wear scarves to pretend to be aggressive? Before the Cole Number Theory Award, we didn't give scarves to pretend to be aggressive, and now we don't pretend to be aggressive when we win two world-class awards in one go.
The guide has changed. "

Shen Yiyu said in a low voice.

Zhang Dugang said:
"Is it possible not to look at the top mathematics awards in these branches of mathematics, and have already looked at the super awards such as the Fields Medal, the Abel Prize, the Wolf Prize and the Craford Prize?"

Shen Yiyu whispered:
"I think it's very possible. After all, he has directed a project worth tens of billions. With his current status, how can he deserve these awards."

Zhang Dugang sighed:

"Give me an award like this, and I'll take off directly."

Although Zhou Yi was concentrating on writing the outline of the thesis, he was still disturbed by the conversation of the two apprentices, and he could hear it clearly.

Zhou Yi snorted coldly and said:

"It's enough to prove a world-class conjecture. Zhou's analytical method has been out for so long. If you don't hurry up, there will be fewer and fewer pitfalls left for you in the future, and you will become more and more introverted. What great contribution Zhou's geometry has made, but I think it is impossible,
So far, Zhou's Geometry has reached a bottleneck, and it is very difficult to innovate. "

Upon hearing this, the two quickly said:

"Good teacher, we will work hard."

Then quickly let myself quickly enter the state. Although there are many number theory conjectures left now, if some top mathematicians really solve them one by one, it will be really difficult for them to do later, which means that this road is blocked.

It may be difficult to graduate at that time.

Zhouyi has been writing for three days, and finally wrote a complete idea on September 9,

Zhou Yi was going to publish this result directly on arxiv, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was time to challenge the traditional publication channels.

"Peony, what's the current status of the scientific research assistant's background data, and how many users are there at home and abroad?"

Zhou Yi asked Peony.

Peony quickly told a detailed data.

"Master, in China, it has basically become popular. According to our background data, many old professors also like to use scientific research assistants.
They like to take photos of the papers written on paper, and then use the research assistant to automatically convert them into PDF papers. "

The corner of Zhou Yi's mouth raised slightly, and said:
"It seems that the effect is very successful, and more people use it, and some rubbings will be uploaded to the research assistant without uploading to arxiv, so that it can gradually replace arxiv.

What about abroad? "

Peony said:

"There is also a large user base. Since our graphic system is available in all languages ​​in the world, we try it out in every country and every region."

A mysterious smile appeared on the corner of Zhou Yi's mouth, and said:
"Finally, I have grown up to this day, and I have spent more than a year advertising in various ways. Help me upload the rubbings of my thesis to the research assistant, and promote it to me on the most eye-catching interface of the research assistant, so that people who enter the research assistant can see it at the first sight. see."

Research assistants are now divided into several sections,
Mathematics, Chinese, foreign languages, dialects, and various popular science categories, you can choose which section to enter by clicking on it.

In order to achieve the greatest advertising effect, the news of Zhouyi must be displayed on the very first interface.

Not long after, Zhou Yi posted his thoughts on the twin prime conjecture on the research assistant.

And the appendix says:

[The second line of proof of the twin prime number conjecture - Zhouyi. 】

Peony said at this time:
"Mainly, why don't you create a pop-up window? This pop-up window will appear when you log in, and you must close it manually."

When Zhou Yi heard this, he secretly said:
Is the intelligence level of this artificial mentally retarded so high now?Can still think of this.

"Yes, but there is no need to force it to read. After all, people who are interested will take the initiative to click in after seeing this news. In addition, a message will be posted on various platforms such as Twitter, Facebook, and bib.
The content is probably 'the second method to prove the twin prime number conjecture, the rubbings of the thesis have been attached to the research assistant, and peer reviewers are welcome'. "

The accumulated number of Zhouyi fans on multiple platforms is already comparable to some first-line stars or even top stars.

Once the news was sent out, the mathematics community was the first to be shocked.

What is Zhou Yi doing?
Is it necessary for one person to prove all the number theory conjectures?
Don't you want to be so scary, give someone else's subject a way to survive.

Give some PhDs a chance to graduate.

It is impossible for everyone to study Zhou's geometry.

And the most extreme thing is that Zhou Yi didn't follow the rules. It is a customary rule that everyone agrees to post the extension of the paper on arxiv.

Now that your Zhouyi is published on your own app research assistant, what do you mean?
Want to challenge the whole convention of the scientific world?

Although everyone is complaining, no one dares to ignore any of Zhou Yi's current achievements in mathematics.

After all, Zhou Yi's talent is too amazing,

More than a year, less than two years, the number of world-class conjectures solved can hardly be counted on one hand.

The awards he won are almost Grand Slams.

Now that we really want to solve the twin prime number conjecture, it would be too monstrous. How long has it been since Goldbach conjectured last time?

Does Zhou Yi really have no creative bottleneck?
And this is the third time Zhou Yi has hammered a veteran mathematician in the face.

The first one was Hales, who wanted to plagiarize the achievements of Zhouyi, and the second one was Fields Medal winner Maynard,
This is the third time.

Although Will Savin and Mark Shusterman are not as famous as Maynard and Hales, their achievements are not low.

If the thinking of the two of them can't prove the twin prime number conjecture, I'm afraid Zhou Yi will smash their faces. After all, not everyone has Maynard's open-minded personality.

Of course, this is the thinking of foreign mathematicians, as well as the thinking of some domestic mathematicians who are not comfortable and easy.

Most of the native mathematicians in Great Xia Kingdom are still secretly happy.

The stronger Zhouyi is, it means that the mathematics of Great Xia Kingdom will gradually rise, and it also means that Zhouyi is likely to rule the mathematics world in the future.

These achievements of Zhou Yi are no less than those of veteran powerhouses like Wiles.

If you are proving several weight-level mathematical conjectures, and put forward some conjectures that guide the way for mathematics,
Perhaps it can be compared with veteran powerhouses such as Deligne, Qiu Chengtong, Sale, and Mirno.

As for the rest of the ordinary people and ordinary students, they are confused. Does anyone know what expression form the twin prime number conjecture is?
Some science popularization bloggers, self-media, and marketing accounts who smell the traffic have begun to frantically popularize twin prime number conjectures on various platforms.

This is a wave of traffic that is bigger than Zhou Yi's mathematics breakthrough award. If you don't eat it, you will be sorry for Zhou Yi's high profile.

　In the drug circle, he is getting haggard day by day.Woo woo woo, I'm so scared, I'm simply a chosen circle of poison.
