From small town scholar to chief scientist

Chapter 223 CEPC Site Selection and Apprentice Topic Selection
"The complete proof process of Polignac's conjecture is on the scientific research assistant, that is, the "Journal of Mathematics of Yuzhou Higher Academy".

I've sorted it out.Peer review should be about to come out with a concrete result. "

Zhou Yi thought of something and said slowly.

Chen Danqi at the side seemed to think of something, and said:

"God Zhou, I also have an idea, since we are the first to open the era of 6G and artificial intelligence,
Our papers are no longer published in foreign journals. We directly establish a journal by ourselves.
And this journal is published in Chinese, and only papers in Chinese are accepted. "

Zhou Yi looked at Chen Danqi quite unexpectedly, he didn't expect this woman to be so ruthless,

Zhou Yi changed his mind and said:

"Indeed, we are already far ahead, there is no need to get used to them, if you want to know the direction of the frontier, you have to read Chinese.

However, the translation function of the scientific research assistant is powerful, and it can only be said that the position of English is gradually replaced from the direction of artificial intelligence. "

Chen Danqi saw that Zhou Yi understood, and said:
"Professor Zhou has great ideas. Maybe they will disdain them at first, but when our achievements are changing the world,
It will be too late for them to look back.Slowly step by step. "

Zhou Yi nodded and said:
"The journal of artificial intelligence will be run by the seven of you. Just give me a report when it's done."

In the field of artificial intelligence, in addition to the four core top conferences AAAI, IJCAI, ICML and NeurIPS, which are most familiar to ordinary people, and the two major academic conferences represented by computer vision and natural language, CVPR and ACL,
There are also many 'rising stars' emerging,
For example, ICLR, which was founded only six years ago but is known as the "uncrowned king" of the deep learning conference, and EMNLP, the top conference in the field of natural language processing, which was founded in 1996 and has the potential to catch up with ACL,

The rise of these "new star conferences" has made the conferences in the field of AI present a bright spot and multi-faceted situation.

But these will be the past tense, and the top journals in the future must belong to the Great Xia Kingdom.

Chen Danqi asked:
"Professor Zhou, what is the name of our journal?"

Zhou Yi thought for a while and said:
"It's called "Journal of Artificial Intelligence of Chongqing Higher Education Institute". I am going to name the journal of mathematics as well.

"Journal of Mathematics of Chongqing University". "

The seven of Chen Danqi had cold sweat on their faces, named after a straight man.

But simplicity is also a major feature, Chen Danqi said:
"Okay, Professor Zhou."

Zhou Yi thought of something and said:

"By the way, take good care of the people under your command, and also strengthen the study of basic mathematics, so don't lose the chain when the time comes.

I'll call the people above later. "

The team of Chen Danqi and others has about [-] people in total.
Zhouyi must be repeatedly emphasized to avoid major mistakes.

"it is good."

Chen Danqi and the others said.

"Well, let's end the meeting."

Zhou Yi said lightly.

Not long after, everyone left, and Zhou Yi called the people above directly.

"Hey, Professor Zhou, what a rare visitor, he actually called us."

The person on the other end of the phone said excitedly,
Obviously Zhou Yi called them and they were very happy.

Zhou Yi said flatly:
"What you asked me to do last time, I am now ready to start, and it should be officially started after the Spring Festival."

Surprised on the phone:

"I thought Professor Zhou was about to forget, you have made so many big noises during this period,
It's smart home appliances, various world-class important papers, and winning the 'Nobel Prize'. I wanted to remind you after the next year. "

Zhou Yi said:

"The main reason is that I want to do big things,"

Surprised on the phone:

"What are you doing?"

Zhou Yi said in a deep voice:
"That's right, it's a big deal, so besides our team, we also need your help."

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while. They knew that Zhou Yi was not a big talker. Since he said he wanted to do something big, it must be shocking.

After a while, the other end of the phone said:

"I just asked the higher-ups for instructions. If Professor Zhou has any needs, just let us know. In addition, can we know what the ticket is?"

Zhou Yi spit out two words slowly and said:

"6G!"

"what?"

Zhou Yi clearly heard the sound of broken porcelain at one end of the phone, obviously he was too excited to hold the porcelain cup in his hand.

On the contrary, Zhou Yi said very calmly:
"6G, by the way, solves some of the problems in aerospace that you mentioned before."

The middle-aged and elderly people on the other end of the phone looked agitated, and their breath was a little disordered. After taking a few deep breaths, they calmed down.
Said:

"What do you need us to do?"

Zhou Yi said:

"We need some people who will not leak the secrets. I will invite some people from Shuimu University. You'd better sign a non-disclosure agreement for everyone involved."

The person on the phone let out a heavy breath and said:
"Okay. I don't know which direction Professor Zhou is researching on 6G?"

Industry and Information Technology B has released ten potential key technologies facing 6G a long time ago.
The ten key technologies include: endogenous intelligent new air interface and new network architecture, enhanced wireless air interface technology, new physical dimension wireless transmission technology, new spectrum use technology, communication perception integration technology and other new wireless technologies, distributed network architecture, New network technologies such as computing power-aware network, deterministic network, satellite-ground integrated network, and network endogenous security.

Zhou Yi said:

"New wireless technology in this aspect of communication-aware integration technology."

"Good Professor Zhou, our people will hand over to you as soon as possible, and the academicians of the Academy of Engineering will also come to cooperate with you."

Said very solemnly on the phone.

There is too much work to be done in 6G, and it is impossible for Zhou Yi to do all the work with one team.

But there is no problem in making a general direction.

Or do a few general directions to promote the development of 6G in the entire Daxia Kingdom.

Ten directions, Zhou Yi feels that several directions can be done.

It is also a way to take Zheng Keyu and Chen Danqi to do it once, and then let them do it later.

For example, the general direction of terahertz and visible light communication technology, distributed autonomous network architecture, etc.

In particular, the distributed autonomous network architecture is somewhat similar to the previous power grid.

It may take less time to do this direction, but the direction of communication-sensing integration technology is convenient for Zhouyi's subsequent layout and money.

Zhou Yi does not necessarily have to do all these directions himself.

Zhou Yi is not Zhuge Wuhou, the Shu Han has no available people, which leads Zhuge Wuhou to do everything by himself,

And there is Li Yan who is so naive as to hold back, the first and last chances of several Northern Expeditions are the greatest.

Zhou Yi has talents now, and he can also make trial and error, and it's okay to fail once or twice.

The Shu Han, supported by Prime Minister Zhuge, could not afford to lose even a big failure.

If you lose once, you lose everything.

Zhouyi definitely doesn't matter, it doesn't matter if you fail a few times.

Research is trial and error.

Daxia Kingdom has a big family and a big business now, so it can afford to lose. For the same project, many scientific research institutes and universities may be competing at the same time.

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Yi yawned.
Mouth read:

"It's really busy. But in four months, their math level should be able to improve to a terrifying level.

At that time, it will be more handy to do other directions. "

Zhou Yi got up, thought about the things that need to be done recently,
The equipment and construction of LHC, the application of 6G, and the research of ABC conjecture.

Zhou Yi felt that if he didn't study the ABC conjecture, Mochizuki Shinichi would have to use his own Zhou's analysis method to find a new way of thinking.

From the beginning of graduate school to the present when he won all the awards in the mathematics world, Zhou Yi felt that it was time to solve this important conjecture.

Now the arrangement for 6G has been done,
That is to say, the matter of the LHC needs Zhou Yi's attention, and after careful consideration, there is not much to do.

The rest of the time was very uneventful.

The people sent above have handed over to Zheng Keyu and Chen Danqi,
The team under Chen Danqi's three men also signed the secret jump.

Only the matter of LHC gave Zhou Yi a headache.

Because the rest of the equipment can still be bought, there are only seven detectors, and they are still being pulled.

These days, Wang Yifang sent over many materials prepared by the Institute of High Energy, Chinese Academy of Sciences.

In front of Zhouyi is the problem of site selection.

Such a super project must have a stable and safe environment.

Zhou Yi looked at it and murmured:

"The Chinese Academy of Sciences has started site selection from south to north since 2013,"

"Seven places, all look good."

These seven places are Wucheng in Hebei Province, Licheng in Qincheng, Baodi District in Jinshi, Qinchuan in Shaanxi Province, Huangl County in Yan'a City in Shaanxi Province, Yiyang in Yuzhou, and Pengcheng.

Zhou Yi pondered for a long time, and found that these places are indeed very elegant, worthy of being the addresses of professional candidates.

While Zhou Yi was thinking, Qiu Chengtong came to Zhou Yi's office.

"Mr. Zhou, Mr. Qiu is here."

Shen Yiyu on the side said.

Zhou Yi looked up, saw Qiu Chengtong, and immediately said:
"Teacher Qiu."

Qiu Chengtong nodded and said:

"Old man Yang is talking to the people over there, I didn't expect old man Yang to be so eager,
Presumably your 5000 billion yuan made him feel that he was so eager not to spend the country's money. "

Zhou Yi said:

"I think so too, after all, God's particle has verified the standard model, and it is undoubtedly a more perfect standard model of Mr. Yang.

He agrees that most of them are based on application considerations, rather than new theories. If new theories do not appear, the significance of this collider can only be applied. "

Zhouyi's words also have a deep meaning, that is, it is impossible to deliberately search for supersymmetric particles to verify the correctness of string theory.

Whether the string theory is correct or not, in Zhou Yi's view, is likely to be a flower in the mirror.

Unless a supersymmetric particle is really knocked out, it can only stay at the current height.

Old Mr. Qiu said indifferently:

"When the time comes, you don't need to look for it deliberately, just analyze the data, just like the shelled Higgs boson you discovered this year."

Zhou Yi nodded, let's talk about it first, and then talk about it later.

Old Mr. Qiu continued:
"I came to you mainly to ask about site selection. Wang Yifang seems to have given you a lot of information, and I want to ask you what you think."

Zhou Yi said:

"Shaanxi Province and Qin City are both good places, but my Chongqing High Court is about to be completed.

Most of the talents in the future will definitely be in Yuzhou, so I want to build in Yuzhou. "

Qiu Chengtong said in surprise:

"Yuzhou? That's not a good place. It's a mountainous area with high requirements for technology. It probably doesn't meet the conditions for building a CEPC."

Zhou Yi said:

"After checking the address first, I think it would be good to build it in the county town of our hometown. As for the technical problem, it can definitely be overcome."

If not satisfied, Zhou Yi is ready to exchange points.

The location of CEPC is too far away from Chongqing High Court, and it is too troublesome to go back and forth, and the foreign talents gathered at that time will also be too far away from Chongqing High Court, so it is not suitable for exchange (K) exchange (Z).

Since Zhou Yi decided to pour everything into Yuzhou, he will fight.

Mr. Qiu said:
"That's fine. Anyway, it's your money. You have the final say on what to do. I'll ask Wang Yifang to ask someone to investigate."

Zhou Yi said:

"it is good."

It is conceivable how much economic development the hundreds of billions of projects can drive.

Rather than letting other people make money, it is better not to let the people in Yuzhou make money, so that the fat water does not flow to outsiders.

Instead of letting the self-righteous natives in Yuzhou make money, it is better to let people from Zhou Yi's own hometown make money.

As long as it rots in Yuzhou, Zhouyi's final bottom line.

Mr. Qiu said:
"In fact, my country's 'Super Collider' project has been preparing step by step, what is lacking is only an opportunity.

You are the entrant in this moment. "

Zhou Yi said:

"I still need to trouble Mr. Qiu to worry about the equipment."

Qiu Chengtong said:
"Okay, don't worry, I definitely hope to build it."

After deciding on the problem of site selection, Zhou Yi began to look at the views of the mathematical community on the proof of Polignac's conjecture.

It has been more than half a month since the proof.

It is now November, and many authoritative number theory experts in this area have given an opinion.

Fields Medal winners Maynard and Tao Terence both felt that there was no problem with the Zhouyi paper.

Mr. Zhang Yitang also felt that there was no problem with the thesis, and Professor Will Savin, who proved the twin prime number conjecture together with Zhou Yi,

It also stated on the scientific research assistant that Zhou Yi's proof of Polignac's conjecture is no problem.

Just a few days after Zhou Yi had been like this, two of Zhou Yi's apprentices, Shen Yiyu and Zhang Dugang, came to find Zhou Yi.

Zhou Yi found that the two of them had something to say, so he took the initiative to ask:

"What's the matter, what's the matter? I've been out all day today."

Shen Yiyu took the initiative to say:
"Mr. Zhou, from February to now, we have read Zhou's Geometry Fundamentals and Zhou's Analytical Method for 9 months.
I think we can try to do scientific research? "

Zhou Yi said:

"Are you so sure?"

Zhang Dugang said:
"Well, our understanding of Zhou's analysis method is not weaker than that of ordinary people.
In the first few months, we supplemented the basic courses of postgraduate content, and in the next four months, we devoted ourselves to studying Zhou's analysis method.

Moreover, we often discuss with several brothers and the top leaders of Yau Mathematics Center, so we feel a little hot. "

Zhou Yi thought for a while and said:

"Indeed, for nine months, I have noticed your hard work. You left early and returned late, basically living like 007.

How about this, let me ask you some of the content of Zhou's analysis method, if you can answer it, I can give you a general direction. "

Zhou Yi also felt that it was time for these two apprentices to follow along with the project.

It's okay to follow yourself to do ABC guessing first.

After asking for a while, Zhou Yi was also a little surprised,
"It's because I underestimated your efforts and talents. How about this? I'm doing ABC conjecture recently. You guys are going to work on this project with me?"

One was killed from the bottom, and the other was the proud son of heaven with a bachelor's degree at Shuimu University.
There is no doubt about his talent and learning methods, and with 007's desperate efforts, it is not surprising that he can meet Zhou Yi's requirements.

Shen Yiyu and Zhang Dugang thought they would study an ordinary conjecture,

I didn't expect my mentor to directly use the big move,
Study the ABC conjecture.

This made the two of them a little emboldened.

Zhou Yi glanced at the two of them and said:

"Why, are you afraid?"

Zhang Dugang said:
"Emmm, can we do it?"

This question obviously lacks confidence.

Shen Yiyu also blinked, with a confused look on his face.

Zhou Yi said lightly:
"Then what direction do you want to study?"

Zhang Dugang and Shen Yiyu looked at each other, summoned up their courage and said:

"We want to continue to study number theory. Zhou's analytical method is a powerful tool for dealing with number theory, and we want to verify what we have learned."

Zhou Yi was silent for a while, and said:

"Why don't you study the palindrome conjecture? This is an interesting conjecture, and it also tests a person's level. The two of you can cooperate.

You can also not cooperate. If you don’t cooperate, I will give you the content of one direction. "

Shen Yiyu and Zhang Dugang looked at each other again, as if they had made up their minds.
Saying together for a moment:
"We are willing to cooperate."

Zhou Yi heard this and said:
"It's fine if you are willing to cooperate, I will simply give you a reminder,
The palindrome conjecture is related to number theory. If you have a thorough understanding of Goldbach's Zhouyi Theorem, the proof of the Twin Prime Zhouyi Theorem, and the 3n+1 Zhouyi Theorem,

I think you should be able to get a great inspiration. Your knowledge of Zhou's analytical method is not weaker than that of some mathematicians. Why don't you try it? "

The two said:

"Okay! Let's study the palindrome conjecture."

Zhou Yi said:

"Well, okay, you can study the three papers I mentioned carefully, and after reading them, you can tell me your ideas."

Zhang Dugang said:
"Good teacher."

After a while, Shen Yiyu and Zhang Dugang began to specialize again.

As for what is the palindrome conjecture, they will check the information and find the most cutting-edge results and papers by themselves.

These are the basic qualities of graduate students.

A mature graduate student is able to discover useful papers and documents by himself.

Instead of waiting for the tutor to feed the meal, or take it by hand.

When Shen Yiyu and Zhang Dugang went to the office next door,

Zheng Keyu and others on the side looked at Zhou Yi and asked:
"Mr. Zhou, do you have such high demands on them?"

Zhou Yi said:

“I have high demands and expectations on them,
Their talents and hard work are good. I don't want them to be buried. In the future, the country will also need more experts in basic mathematics.

And this conjecture uses quite a lot of things, it can be regarded as training their abilities,

If you prove it, you can skip the master's degree and graduate directly with a doctorate.It can be regarded as giving them an explanation, and giving me an explanation.

You are all doing world-changing technologies, and there is no reason for them not to make some difficult number theory conjectures. "

Zheng Keyu and the others were a little envious, because those who do pure numbers are naturally superior.

"Mr. Zhou, how long do you think it will take for them to make it?"

Chu Li on the side asked with some interest.

Zhou Yi said:

"I don't know. It depends on their talents. Number theory sometimes lacks inspiration, and it may not be made up for by hard work. Well, you should be busy."

Among the six apprentices, Zhou Yi felt that they all had the potential to become teachers.

Four are in the direction of artificial intelligence, and two are in the direction of pure numbers.

This palindrome conjecture is definitely not difficult for Zhou Yi, but it must be very difficult for two fledgling young people.

Zhou Yi did this because of the mission, and because he hoped that the two of them could go further.

If you can't even chew on this conjecture, you may turn to applications in the future.

Zhou Yi murmured:
"I hope they give me a surprise instead of following my ass. Otherwise, it will be difficult to become a high-level mathematician."

The four artificial intelligence apprentices were a little envious when they heard this,

The initial dream of every mathematician must be to become a mathematician.

Instead of being a top engineer.

They also came from mathematics majors at the beginning, and they are all studying mathematics for undergraduate, master and even doctoral degrees.
But in the end, he was farther and farther away from his dream.

A person may make a lot of money in his life, but making money does not mean fulfilling one's dreams. Dreams and making money are two different things.

Some people's dream at the beginning was to be a painter, but because the family had no money, they went to the construction site to move bricks to make a living;
Some people's dream at the beginning was to become a top designer, but in the end they still learned computers to make a living.
