You say you have an iron will, are you serious?

Chapter 343 Don’t get me wrong, I have no other intentions

"Hahaha……"

In Wudaokou, bursts of hearty laughter came from the office of the head of the mathematics department.

On the first day of class in the new year, Zhao Mo was called to the office by Zhou Zuojian for a talk. Before the main teaching tasks could be discussed, Zhou Zuojian talked about what he said in "Lectures Now": "Mathematics is very good." It was very good and he spoke very well. Well, he was very happy, and then he said that people like Pan Hai and Gao Zhiqiang were so angry that their noses were crooked, and he was even happier.

As for the deans of the Department of Physics, Computer Science, Materials, etc. criticizing him, Zhou Zuojian said indifferently that it doesn't matter what you say, anyway, mathematics is awesome!

Zhao Mo couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this. He didn't expect Zhou Zuojian to act like an old naughty boy.

"Don't get me wrong, I don't mean anything else, really!"

Zhao Mo expressed quickly.

Zhou Zuojian smiled "hehe" and said: "I understand, I understand~"

Zhao Mo did not say which subject was bad. He just said that he discovered the Higgs particle, developed lithium batteries, high-thrust engines, drones, etc. This is describing the facts.

Whether Pan Hai or Gao Zhiqiang, if they think that Zhao Mo is saying "you are not good at it" and take the position themselves, that is their business and has nothing to do with Zhao Mo or Zhou Zuojian.

After saying the happy things, Zhou Zuojian got down to business, mainly teaching tasks, and asked about Zhao Mo's time schedule.

Zhao Mo knew what the director was asking. He had already thought about talking to the director during the Chinese New Year, so he said without thinking: "...I can complete the classes and research in the first half of the year. I will go back to my hometown in April to attend the eighth semester of my high school alma mater." Fifteenth anniversary celebration. On the aerospace side, closed training is expected to begin in June and the mission will be carried out by the end of September. The mission will take about fifteen days. Including the subsequent recovery time, normal working conditions should be restored in December in the second half of the year. .”

Listening to this time estimate, Zhou Zuojian thought for a while and couldn't help but ask: "Is the recovery time too short? Can I recover in one and a half months after returning to the ground in mid-October?"

As far as he knew, the first two times astronauts returned from space took half a year to recover.

A month and a half?

He was wondering if Zhao Mo had said something wrong?

Zhao Mo smiled and said: "One and a half months is enough. Now manned spaceflight is much more complete and scientific than Senior Officer Yang's time. I estimate this one and a half months to be conservative~"

Zhou Zuojian was doubtful after hearing this. Then he thought that maybe technology had improved in the past two or three years, so the recovery time could be shortened, so he stopped worrying about this issue.

After setting the time, the conversation is over.

Zhao Mo immediately wanted to leave.

But Zhou Zuojian stopped him and asked him to wait, and then asked about the mathematics research center and mathematics research.

One is that the school plans to set up a "Zhao Mo Scholarship" in the name of the "Zhao Mo Mathematics Research Center", which will be used specifically to provide financial aid or awards to students studying mathematics.

The second is to hold a seminar in the name of "Zhao Mo Mathematics Research Center" and ask him to be the keynote speaker to teach mathematicians across the country about the ABC conjecture, the twin prime conjecture and the NS equation and other research results and Experience.

Zhao Mo had no objection to the second proposal. As for the scholarship, he thought about it and said, "In addition to student aid and awards, I think we can also launch a special project to search for mathematical geniuses across the country. Some students have quite good math scores. It's very spiritual. It's a pity that you failed the college entrance examination just because of a failure in performance or a serious partiality in subjects. We can identify these students and help them continue to go to school or directly come to our Wudaokou..."

Zhou Zuojian thought for a while and said: "This proposal is very good, I agree."

"Then please ask the director to take care of this~"

Zhao Mo smiled and said.

It is undeniable that my country’s college entrance examination is the fairest educational selection method.

But at the same time, we must also see that the college entrance examination is very unfriendly to those who are partial to subjects and have special talents in a certain subject who have failed to perform.

Don't talk nonsense about why you don't want to repeat your studies. If conditions permit and you see hope, who wouldn't want to repeat your studies?

Zhao Mo has no prejudice against any subject, but he has a strong prejudice against English. Many people fail the college entrance examination because of poor grades in English, and their lives are wasted.

Those who failed the college entrance examination but were finally picked up by some universities after discovering their merits are just a few lucky ones.

Since Zhou Zuojian talked about student assistance, he thought of this issue and raised it accordingly.

Of course, English is very important. Now and in the next 20 to 30 years, it is an era when English is strong, and the right to speak is still controlled by the English system. If you want to be at the top, you need to master the skill of "English" to a large extent. However, there is no need to list English as a required subject for the college entrance examination. It can be made a required reading for university.

After saying that, Zhao Mo asked: "Can I leave now?"

Zhou Zuojian coughed and said with a smile: "When do you plan to complete the proof of the twin prime number conjecture? Don't get me wrong, I don't mean anything else, and it's not that I want to ask. It's the professors and lecturers in our department who want me to ask you..."

Zhao Mo: "..."

Good guy, if I don’t leave, I’ll have to answer here today!

After thinking about it, before Zhou Zuojian could finish speaking, he immediately turned around and left.

"Hey, hey, why did you leave..."

Zhou Zuojian stood up immediately, but when he tried to stop him, he was unable to stop him and Zhao Mo had already disappeared.

boom!

The office door was closed.

Zhou Zuojian couldn't help but laughed and cursed: "This stinky boy~"

……

There are infinitely many prime numbers P, and for each P, the number P+2 is also a prime number, such as 3 and 5, 5 and 7, 11 and 13. This is the famous twin prime number conjecture. The so-called twin prime numbers are the pair of prime numbers 3 and 5, 5=3+2, and the two are called "twins".

"Bounded Distance Between Prime Numbers" is a major progress in the study of the twin prime numbers conjecture, and is a phased achievement of Zhao Mo's research on twin prime numbers.

He did study twin primes.

In fact, he has studied not only twin prime numbers, but also other mathematical conjectures, including the Riemann Hypothesis.

With the development of mathematics to this day, Zhao Mo believes that it is impossible to solve the problems in a single sub-field when studying problems in this sub-field alone. We must look for inspiration and answers in other sub-fields.

The same goes for the twin prime conjecture. The answer needs to be found from other subdivisions.

The paper "Bounded Distance Between Prime Numbers", a phased achievement, came out when Zhao Mo was studying these conjectures. At that time, he was mainly studying the Riemann Hypothesis. By chance, Liu Zhirong asked him about the problem, and he saw Liu Zhirong's work on algebra. I came up with something new geometrically, and then I suddenly had an inspiration.

It can be said that "Bounded Distance between Prime Numbers" is an unexpected surprise. It takes the twin prime conjecture a big step forward when studying the Riemann Hypothesis, and also introduces algebraic geometry~

The coincidence during this period was dramatic, but more importantly it was the accumulation of his research.

It is precisely because of this that at this stage, he is still involved in extensive research and does not focus on the study of the twin prime conjecture, let alone the paper "Bounded Distance between Prime Numbers".

Zhao Mo heard that internationally, the distance between prime numbers has narrowed from the 7000 million he started with to 246, which is a very significant progress and is very close to the 2 of the twin prime conjecture.

But Zhao Mo knew in his heart that this was just a numbers game. Before the theory was broken through, even though 246 and 2 were very close, there was still a gap.

After returning to the office, Zhao Mo specifically asked about Liu Zhirong's "reconciliation conjecture" proof. Liu Zhirong had been studying this for a long time.

Soon, he got an answer: "It hasn't been proven yet, but it should be soon."

Zhao Mo immediately knew that this was because he still didn’t know the year of the monkey and the month of the horse.

Zhao Mo couldn't deny it, encouraged him a few words and then went about his own business.

On the same day, he and Academician Chen Yan of the Chinese Academy of Sciences were invited to an address on the outskirts of Beijing. Accompanied by a deputy mayor of Beijing, he inspected the local area and began the site selection work for the fourth-generation synchrotron radiation light source.

The 12th Five-Year Plan was approved and released after deliberation, causing a huge sensation during the Chinese New Year.

Zhao Mo often received requests from some places, especially from his hometown. The relevant departments asked his parents to invite him to return to Jiangnan Province to build the fourth-generation synchrotron radiation light source.

Zhao Mo had no choice but to refuse them one by one.

As for whether he offends others, Zhao Mo doesn't care. Only those people have always begged him, and it is impossible for him to beg those people. When he has a problem, he will only ask the country for help and will not have anything to do with the local government.

"...Academician Zhao and Academician Chen, you can rest assured that as long as you choose us, a large area in front of you can be used for construction. To support national key scientific research projects, our local government will fully support it. No matter what it takes~"

Standing on a hillside, the deputy mayor of Beijing who accompanied them pointed to the front and left and right that they could see, and waved his hand.

The large area in front of you is mountains, fields, private houses, and factories...

But no one cares.

Zhao Mo also knows that as long as it supports national scientific research projects, key government projects, serves the country and the people, or public welfare undertakings, the vast majority of Chinese people are actually very supportive.

Especially ordinary people, who will move without saying a word and will never make trouble unreasonably.

But if it is used to sell land, build buildings, or engage in commercialization, then I would be embarrassed. I will definitely not do it until the money is available.

"Actually, I have been here before. It is a good place. At that time, we were considering investing 100 billion to build a large hadron collider. Unfortunately, halfway through the inspection, the country vetoed it..."

After walking around, Academician Chen Yan told Zhao Mo about the past with emotion.

"It turns out there is still history here~"

Zhao Mo smiled and then said: "Mr. Yang is still far-sighted. The investment of 100 billion in the collider was really a waste."

Academician Chen Yan was stunned: "Do you also agree not to build it?"

Zhao Mo thought for a while and replied: "It needs to be built, but it must be considered comprehensively. I would say that after we build the lunar base, it is most appropriate to build the collider on the moon."

Academician Chen Yan: "..."

The accompanying deputy mayor of Beijing: "..."

Good guy, your idea is really groundbreaking!

On that day, the group did not express their position on finalizing the construction site.

It was not until a week later, in March, that after repeated discussions, the research team finally finalized the construction site.

It was at this time that the space agency officially announced the trio of astronauts for Shenzhou 9 to be launched this year...
