From university academician to chief academician
Chapter 163 Ye Fei’s ideas for Zhang Yitang: Don’t look for needles
EDGE party!
As usual, there will be a party after every award ceremony.
At this moment, Ye Fei was holding red wine and chatting with a group of scholars.
Most of the people present were in the blockchain field, and Ye Fei also studies blockchain.
So, they have a lot in common.
The crowd was divided into many small circles. Mochizuki Shinichi was the founder of blockchain and his circle had the largest number of people, including Ye Fei.
Followed by Buterin, he is a genius in the blockchain field and the founder of Ethereum.
Around Mochizuki Shinichi's circle, there were more than thirty people, each of whom was a master in the blockchain field. Even those who were not masters were embarrassed to join in.
Someone asked: "Mr. Mochizuki, with current technology, when do you think we can make the blockchain completely decentralized?"
Mochizuki Shinichi: “Unless the nodes of the blockchain can reach tens of millions, it will be difficult to make the blockchain completely decentralized.”
So far, among all the products of blockchain research in the world, only Bitcoin can reach tens of millions of nodes.
Moreover, only a very small number of Bitcoin nodes reach tens of millions, and the remaining nodes are millions.
For other blockchain products, let alone reach the tens of millions level, all their nodes are hovering between the millions level, and none of the nodes have entered the tens of millions level.
Of course, if the blockchain is completely decentralized, it can enter the Web3.0 era.
Someone said: "Mr. Mochizuki, it is very difficult to get all the nodes to reach tens of millions. So far, it seems that only a few nodes of the Bitcoin you created have reached it."
"Yes!" Mochizuki Shinichi shook his head, with a look of helplessness on his face: "It's too difficult. When I created Bitcoin, I wanted all the nodes to reach tens of millions. However, after Bitcoin has been running for so many years, only a handful of them have reached tens of millions. level, and the rest are hovering between levels one million.”
"Mr. Mochizuki, do you know the reason?"
"I know!" Mochizuki nodded: "The algorithm is too bad. If there is a powerful algorithm, all nodes can be pushed to tens of millions."
"But I have been researching such an algorithm, but I haven't created it yet."
"Why……"
"Didn't Professor Ye develop a new asymmetric encryption algorithm?" Someone said: "I wonder if your algorithm can push the number of blockchain nodes to tens of millions."
Everyone looked at Ye Fei.
Ye Fei smiled bitterly and said: "I just worked out the theory, and the application part hasn't been released yet."
"And even if it comes out, I can't guarantee that it will be able to push the number of blockchain nodes to tens of millions."
Everyone nodded, if it were so easy to push the number of blockchain nodes to tens of millions, it would not bother all blockchain researchers around the world.
Ye Feidao: "Mochizuki Shinichi, it seems that the algorithm alone cannot make the blockchain nodes reach tens of millions!"
"Yes!" Mochizuki nodded: "To make the number of nodes reach tens of millions, the four core technologies of the blockchain are indispensable."
“Distributed ledgers, asymmetric encryption algorithms, consensus mechanisms and smart contracts.”
"It should be based on asymmetric encryption algorithms as the core, assisted by distributed ledgers, consensus mechanisms and smart contracts."
"With a reasonable combination of the four, it is possible to reach tens of millions of nodes."
"Therefore, the asymmetric encryption algorithm technology needs to be very strong, and the technical level of the other three should not be bad."
“Based on current technology, only Xia Guoshutu Blockchain Research Institute’s distributed ledger technology, Bitcoin’s consensus mechanism and Buterin Ethereum’s smart contracts meet the standards.”
"There is currently a lack of asymmetric encryption algorithm technology."
"If powerful asymmetric encryption algorithm technology emerges, coupled with the technology of tree graph, Bitcoin and Ethereum, then the number of nodes can reach tens of millions."
"In other words, the blockchain is completely decentralized and the Web 3.0 era will come."
Everyone was tired of listening, it was really difficult.
In particular, the asymmetric encryption algorithm is the core technology and the most difficult technology.
Of course, they thought of the asymmetric encryption algorithm developed by Ye Fei.
But because Ye Fei's asymmetric encryption algorithm has not been fully developed, no one knows how effective it is.
Besides, how could it be such a coincidence that the asymmetric encryption algorithm developed by Ye Fei just meets the requirements and can push the node to tens of millions.
If it were so easy, such an asymmetric encryption algorithm would have been developed long ago.
After that, they talked about a lot of other information about blockchain.
After a long time, Mochizuki Shinichi looked at Zhang Yitang not far away and saw Zhang Yitang chatting with a group of mathematicians.
Mochizuki Shinichi: "Everyone, I'm going to look elsewhere."
Everyone nodded and said, "As you wish!"
Mochizuki Shinichi signaled Ye Fei with his eyes.
He had to rope in Ye Fei because Mochizuki Shinichi had no contact with Zhang Yitang in the past.
Moreover, in terms of status in the mathematics community, Zhang Yitang is much higher than him.
Therefore, Ye Feihao and Zhang Yitang were invited to discuss matters.
After all, both of them are from Xia country.
In foreign countries, when fellow villagers meet fellow villagers, they burst into tears, showing a natural sense of intimacy.
Ye Fei nodded, and then the two of them walked towards Zhang Yitang.
After walking up to Zhang Yitang, Ye Fei greeted him with a smile and said, "Hello, Mr. Zhang, I am Ye Fei from Xia Kingdom."
As he spoke, he extended his hand.
Zhang Yitang turned to look at Ye Fei, smiled and shook hands with him and said, "I have heard of you a long time ago. The last time I went to Kyoto University, the mathematics professor at Kyoto University even talked about you!"
Ye Fei smiled and said, "That's really my honor."
"Mr. Zhang, this is Mochizuki Shinichi."
"Hello, Mr. Wangyue." Zhang Yitang smiled and stretched out his hand.
Mochizuki Shinichi shook hands quickly and said with a smile: "Hello, Mr. Zhang, you are well-known in the world of mathematics!"
"No way!" Zhang Yitang smiled and waved his hands: "It's all a false reputation. It's just others who praise me. You can't believe their words. Their evaluation of me is exaggerated."
Ye Fei and Mochizuki Shinichi smiled.
They know very well what Zhang Yitang's achievements are.
Zhang Yitang mainly studies number theory. He once proved that there are infinite pairs of prime numbers with gaps less than 70 million.
This led to an important breakthrough in the twin prime conjecture, a major problem in number theory.
This is much harder than the ABC conjecture.
The difficulty of the twin prime conjecture is generally not compared with the ABC conjecture.
Because in front of the twin prime conjecture, the ABC conjecture is a younger brother.
It is only comparable to Goldbach's conjecture.
Of course, the twin prime conjecture is definitely not as difficult as Goldbach's conjecture.
What really puts Zhang Yitang at the top of the mathematical world is his research on the Landau-Siegel zero-point conjecture.
The difficulty of the Landau-Siegel zero-point conjecture is comparable to that of the Riemann Hypothesis, and its difficulty is not inferior to the seven major problems in mathematics.
Zhang Yitang has always been known as the "sweeping monk" in the mathematics community.
He is very low-key, but very powerful.
Ye Fei smiled and said: "Mr. Zhang, I once read your paper on the Landau-Siegel zero-point conjecture. I have always been puzzled whether the Landau-Siegel zero-point conjecture exists."
Zhang Yitang shook his head and said, "You shouldn't ask me this question."
Ye Fei was surprised, why shouldn't I ask you?
Zhang Yitang said: "If you ask me, I will definitely say that the Landau-Siegel zero-point conjecture exists."
"Because I study the Landau-Siegel zero-point conjecture. If it does not exist, then my years of research will be in vain."
Ye Fei laughed when he heard this, it was true.
If even Landau-Siegel zero-point conjecture researchers say it does not exist, then the researchers will not study it.
Zhang Yitang continued: "As for whether the Landau-Siegel zero-point conjecture exists, only time will prove it."
"Perhaps, one day I prove the existence of the Landau-Siegel zero-point conjecture, and then you will have the answer in your heart."
Ye Fei nodded in his heart, indeed, only time will prove this problem.
If Zhang Yitang can prove the existence of the Landau-Siegel zero-point conjecture, it will trigger a major earthquake in the global mathematics community.
The Landau-Siegel zero-point conjecture is opposite to one of the seven major problems in mathematics, the Riemann hypothesis.
If the Landau-Siegel zero-point conjecture is proven to exist, then the Riemann Hypothesis will never be proven successful.
If the Riemann Hypothesis is proven successful, then the Landau-Siegel Zero-Point Hypothesis absolutely does not exist.
This is because the Landau-Siegel zero-point conjecture is a special and probably much weaker form of the generalized Riemann hypothesis.
The existence of the Landau-Siegel zero-point conjecture will overturn the proof of the generalized Riemann hypothesis.
The generalized Riemann Hypothesis has been overturned, and naturally the Riemann Hypothesis cannot be proven successful.
Landau-Siegel Zero-Point Conjecture and Riemann Hypothesis, there can only be one of them, either you die or I die.
Mochizuki Shinichi: "Mr. Zhang, how far has your research on the Landau-Siegel zero-point conjecture reached?"
"You must have read the Landau-Siegel zero-point conjecture paper that I posted on Arxiv three years ago!"
"Yeah!" Ye Fei and Wang Yuexin nodded.
Zhang Yitang said: "The Landau-Siegel zero-point conjecture is to prove that L(1,x)≥(logD)^-1."
"And my thesis three years ago studied L(1,x)≥c1(logD)^2022."
"I am now gradually reducing the power."
"It has been studied to 2000."
Ye Feidao: "Mr. Zhang, do you still use proof by contradiction to prove the Landau-Siegel zero-point conjecture?"
Proof by contradiction, also called proof by contradiction, is a very classic proof method in mathematics.
Zhang Yitang looked at Ye Fei in surprise and said with a smile: "It seems that you have read my paper carefully."
"Yes!" Ye Fei nodded: "When you published your paper, I read it immediately."
"But I didn't understand it at the time. A year later, I started studying number theory. I read your paper no less than twenty times, and I didn't fully understand it until last year."
"In the paper, you first assume that the Landau-Siegel zero-point conjecture exists in a weak form, and after derivation, you find that this leads to..."
Ye Fei explained his understanding of Zhang Yitang's Landau-Siegel zero-point conjecture paper.
Zhang Yitang nodded repeatedly after hearing this, and sighed in his heart: "It's not easy for such a young person to fully understand my thesis!"
"This shows Ye Fei's ability."
Zhang Yitang's Landau-Siegel zero-point conjecture paper is a very difficult paper in the mathematics world.
Not many people can understand it, and those who can understand it are well-known professors from top universities in the world.
At the very least, he is someone who has proven difficult mathematical problems in the world.
The others stood aside and listened with great interest.
Of course, most people couldn't understand what Ye Fei said. These people listened as if they were chewing wax and felt very uncomfortable.
After listening for a while, they found that they really didn't understand, so they could only leave with depressed faces.
Those who study mathematics are all perverts. After all, we study computers, but we don’t understand what you are talking about.
"But..." Ye Feidao.
"Huh?" Everyone was surprised, but what?
Ye Feidao: "But don't you think that if you can't find this needle, you don't have to look for it?"
In Zhang Yitang's paper, the method of proof by contradiction is used to the extreme.
Although proof by contradiction is a basic method that everyone can understand, Zhang Yitang simplified it into complexity and made the proof process of proof by proof unimaginably difficult.
Zhang Yitang compared it to finding a needle in a haystack.
The needle here is looking for a certain sequence of numbers.
"You can completely change your mind."
"I know that you have been looking for needles. The same weak effect can be achieved in many sequence. You can use this fact to construct a contradiction so that you don't need to look for needles."
As for why, only those who have studied the Landau-Siegel zero-point conjecture will know.
When Zhang Yitang heard this, his mind seemed to burst with inspiration, and all his ideas were opened up.
His eyes were thoughtful at first, and gradually the light in his eyes became brighter and brighter.
Finally, he said excitedly: "You're right, I don't necessarily have to look for a needle!"
"Why didn't I think of it before? I just thought about looking for the needle, but I couldn't find it."
"Since I can't find it, I can definitely bypass the needle!"
Zhang Yitang held Ye Fei's hand and said excitedly: "Mr. Ye, thank you so much, thank you, thank you!"
At this moment, Zhang Yitang was like a child who got a new toy, almost jumping up and down with excitement.
The people around who didn't understand looked at Zhang Yitang in confusion, wondering why Zhang Yitang behaved like this.
Those who understood looked at Zhang Yitang with a smile.
They understood Zhang Yitang. It is very common for scholars to be crazy about academics.
Everyone has different hobbies, some are crazy for money, some are crazy for the opposite sex, some are crazy for power, and some are crazy for academics.
After a long time, Zhang Yitang's mood calmed down.
At this moment, he wished he could grow wings and fly out, and immediately began academic research when he returned to his residence.
He believed that this time he could push the research on the Landau-Siegel zero-point conjecture to the thousandth power.
Without Ye Feige's ideas, it might have been ten years before he could push the research on the Landau-Siegel zero-point conjecture to the thousandth power.
But now with Ye Fei's idea, he can complete the research ten years in advance and carry out the next step of research.
Zhang Yitang smiled and said: "Mr. Ye, if you help me this time, I will repay you."
Ye Fei shook his head and smiled: "No, I'm just giving you an idea, the rest of the proof is up to you."
Zhang Yitang shook his head and smiled: "But your idea has been of great help to my research on the Landau-Siegel zero-point conjecture."
Ye Feidao: "If you really want to help me, I hope you can talk to Mr. Mochizuki Shinichi about the Landau-Siegel zero-point conjecture. He has been studying the Landau-Siegel zero-point conjecture recently."
The reason why Ye Fei gave this favor to Mochizuki Shinichi was naturally because of his own plans.
Academia does need connections, and cultivating connections means you help me and I help you.
Both Zhang Yitang and Mochizuki Shinichi are very high-quality connections.
In the future, they will definitely help Ye Fei.
Ye Fei gave Zhang Yitang's favor to Mochizuki Shinichi, who is also the founder of blockchain.
Ye Fei also studies blockchain, so Ye Fei will definitely use Mochizuki Shinichi in the future.
When the time comes, Mochizuki Shinichi can return the favor that Ye Fei gave him back then.
Mochizuki Shinichi glanced at Ye Fei in shock and said nothing.
This was exactly what Mochizuki Shinichi needed. Didn't he bring Ye Feilai just to chat with Zhang Yitang about the Landau-Siegel zero-point conjecture!
Now Ye Fei gave Zhang Yitang a boost and asked him to talk to him more deeply about the Landau-Siegel zero-point conjecture.
As for the favor given by Ye Fei, he will pay it back in the future.
Zhang Yitang looked at Mochizuki Shinichi and smiled: "Mr. Mochizuki is also studying the Landau-Siegel zero-point conjecture?"
"Yes!" Mochizuki nodded.
"Then let's leave your contact information and we'll keep in touch in the future."
"Can!"
After speaking, the two left each other's contact information.
Afterwards, they continued to talk about the Landau-Siegel zero-point conjecture.
Ye Feiye, Zhang Yitang, and many others left each other's contact information.
It wasn't until a long time before the party ended that everyone dispersed and returned to their respective residences.
