Rebirth 2009: Synthetic God

The cafeteria was bustling with activity because of the fifth news broadcast.

On the other side, in the lounge of Factory No. 1, Zhou Rui was closing his eyes to relax.

There was a large mathematics-related tome clasped on his lower abdomen, as if he was asleep.

He knew that he would be on the news network again today, someone informed him yesterday.

The connection on the first four days was a coincidence, but on the fifth day it was purely a routine. After all, the 25-year-old nominated academician is too awesome, and the higher-ups are still worried that there will be some public opinion waves.

It's not that I'm afraid that this matter won't pass, but that I'm afraid that the bad tone will make Zhou Rui feel uncomfortable. It's a good thing in the first place, and it can't end with a bad reputation, right?

Therefore, with this series of news bombardment, it was released simultaneously on the fifth day, which seemed less abrupt.

It is said that many people stayed up late and worked overtime in order to compile the nomination list in advance.

In fact, it is still too cautious. It is true that the 25-year-old academician is a bit shocking, but Zhou Rui's results are obviously more impressive.

If he is not qualified, then it is the original academicians who should panic, as they will probably be compared.

At what level are you more qualified to be an academician than Master Zhou? Is my Nantianmen not enough?

The academician co-optation process will take some time, but the outside world generally believes that Zhou Rui has already been selected.

Even Zhou Rui himself didn't think there would be any more trouble in this matter, so he didn't pay attention to it today. Instead, he closed his eyes and turned on the system in the lounge.

"The entry task [Basic Riemannian Geometry], current progress (100/100), can be collected."

"The entry task [Basic Group Theory], current progress (100/100), can be collected."

These are the last two entry tasks related to [Mathematics].

As for the remaining [Basic Particle Physics], it is only poor (15/100). This task is indeed not easy to gain experience through daily work.

Zhou Rui silently said "get it" in his heart.

The two taskbars instantly shattered, turning into messy strokes, and finally quickly reorganized.

"Congratulations to the host, you have obtained the white entries [Mathematics (8)] and [Mathematics (9)]."

Zhou Rui opened the [God of Learning] skill tree and put the two entries directly into the cold palace.

The two entries turned into balls of light, flew to the center of the tree trunk, and merged into the bubble belonging to [Mathematics].

The total number of children reached nine, and it seemed that the upper bubble became particularly excited, and the light beads in the body whirred like an electric fan.

“If more than eight sub-items are detected, the success rate of entry strengthening → ‘Math Eyes’ increases to 33%.”

“If more than nine sub-items are detected, the success rate of entry strengthening → ‘Mathematical Eye’ increases to 50%.”

"If more than nine sub-items are detected, the entry will be strengthened → the rarity will be increased."

"Now it has been changed to a blue entry: [Mathematics Master]!"

"More than nine sub-items are detected, the entry is strengthened → a new ability is obtained: Dayan is unified."

"Special ability 'Dayan Guiyi': Once a year, the host can specify mathematical problems and deduce them to prove or falsify"

"Success depends on the host's knowledge structure and accumulation. The number of times currently available (1/1) is refreshed every natural year."

“More than nine sub-items are detected, the entry is strengthened → a new ability is obtained: ‘kill two birds with one stone’.”

"The special ability 'kill two birds with one stone': do two things at once, fight left and right, and the host can passively activate a two-way thinking mode."

On the skill tree, there are many fruits, such as [Mathematics Master], [Biology Master], [Chemistry Master], and [Engineering Master].

Zhou Rui’s main focus has actually been in the field of “engineering”.

He didn't have much exposure to other major directions, so even if the system gave him awesome abilities, he wasn't very comfortable using them.

But that doesn't mean it's meaningless.

If "engineering" is his "tool" for changing the material world, then "basic disciplines" are the "foundation" that provides support.

Not to mention that the "thinking ability" obtained every time is a rare good thing.

Perhaps proving the "Goldbach Conjecture" will change the world more than creating a device like the "Faunus", but in Zhou Rui's heart, the latter is obviously more important.

It's also warmer.

To this day, except [Physics], which still lacks five sub-disciplines, he has already completed all other basic subjects.

As for the two new abilities given by the [Master of Mathematics] today, they are very unified in style. The former "Reunification of the Great Evolution" is a typical "computing power creation" ability, which is consistent with "tracing back to the source", "imitating a cat and imitating a tiger", etc. It is estimated that we will arrive in a brand new space.

The latter “kills two birds with one stone”.

Uh. It feels a bit ordinary.

Judging from the description, it is similar to a state of "multitasking", but this is not difficult for Zhou Rui, who runs "Golden Interest" on a regular basis and his brain spins faster than an electric fan.

Even ordinary people can do it. As long as one thing is familiar enough, isn't it normal to be distracted and do something else?

Is it difficult to chat with co-workers while driving piles?

With a curious attitude, Zhou Rui decided to give it a try on the spot.

This ability is the same as other thinking abilities. It is a passive ability, so he fumbled around in the lounge for a while before he figured out how to do it.

At first he tried to draw a square with one hand and a circle with the other. But there seemed to be no problem. His body was already very good and he seemed to be able to do it.

He took out a Rubik's Cube from the lounge and tried to solve the Rubik's Cube while thinking about unrelated mathematical problems.

It seems to be of no use, although it feels like there is no delay on either side, but it is more likely caused by my own fast thinking speed.

Until he tried reading a book at the same time.

Facts have proved that the thinking ability given by [Subject Master] is by no means weak.

At this time, he was holding "Particle Physics" in one hand and "Topology" in the other.

Both books were within his sight and were unrelated.

He discovered that he could actually read "physics books" and "mathematics books" at the same time.

The line of sight seems to be divided into two parts, and the brain is also divided into two "parts", allowing even advanced and complex things to be carried out smoothly and simultaneously.

It's like I've grown two cows, bah, I've grown two brains.

This feeling is by no means “multitasking” achieved by thinking fast enough or acting proficiently enough, but a more essential change.

Single core to dual core.

Zhou Rui put down the book and once again marveled at the magic of the system.

In this case, if he brushes [Physical Entry] later, he can "double open" directly, and his efficiency will be doubled.

"It seems that the distance to the 'Basic Subjects' Great Consummation' will be faster than imagined."

Another problem is that it’s almost December.

He now has as many as three "computing power creation" abilities in his hands.

Hey, I have money but I don’t know how to spend it.

The main reason is that I haven't encountered any bottlenecks in my main business, so I always think about waiting and waiting until the end of the year.

It would be great if the various "computing power capabilities" could be exchanged for each other, and they would all become "similar but achieve the same purpose". It would not be a dream to reach Mars in one year.

Touching his chin, Zhou Rui decided to try "Dayan Guiyi" today.

If it works well, there's nothing wrong with just consuming it.

Opening his eyes and looking at his watch, Zhou Rui thought for a moment before entering the system again.

"Start the 'Dayan Return to One'."

The next moment, his eyes suddenly fell downwards

Came into a vast darkness.

Like a "blob" of blackboard, Zhou Rui seemed to be able to smell the chalk dust.

Well, it must be an illusion

A line of system characters appeared in his sight.

"Suggest a mathematical problem you would like to derive."

Very simple and crude.

Zhou Rui thought for a while and said silently: "Goldbach's conjecture."

Why don't you call yourself a young man when you are angry?

The system did not start operating directly, but gave a dialog box that required Zhou Rui to "manually enter".

Zhou Rui used his mind to control the input: "Any integer greater than 2 can be written as the sum of three prime numbers."

Then clicked Confirm.

The next moment, countless white powder fell into this black space.

Unable to examine carefully or distinguish, these powders were like virtual snowflakes. After falling, they began to quickly condense into numbers and symbols in front of Zhou Rui.

Interestingly, it seems that the risk of "free prostitution" in mathematics is too high. Unlike other abilities, "Dayan Guiyi" does not really show the arrangement of these numbers and symbols. It is like pasting eight hundred layers of mosaic and then passing it to The swelling is normal and nothing can be seen clearly.

Perhaps only by finally confirming the number of times the power is consumed can we find out.

However, it is a pity that even so, after condensing hundreds of lines of characters, it broke with a "click".

It seems that forcing it won’t work.

"Insufficient host accumulation."

Zhou Rui quickly closed the page.

He is too young to see this.

After thinking about it, Zhou Rui decided to try some weaker guesses. If none of them worked, he would try the other two abilities.

In fact, compared to the computing power of other [disciplines], Zhou Rui's "mathematics" should be regarded as the most likely to produce results that are beyond his own level.

Because in this field, inspiration is more important than "accumulation", and luck is more important than "hard work".

He is not too bad in these two aspects, and has as many as nine basic entries to support him.

"Suggest a mathematical problem you would like to derive."

——————

Early the next morning.

"Don't worry, we will definitely arrange the resume that Academician Zhou needs and ensure that there will be no loopholes in the procedure."

"Hey, what can happen? I also read yesterday's news. I believe everyone will be happy with the news."

In the college office, Dean Zhao walked into his office while making a phone call.

I couldn't help but sigh, is this what top-level connections feel like?

When he was being evaluated as an academician, he put a lot of effort into it. He spent a full year preparing and traveled to various hills in the academic world to make his mark.

Now?

The Academy of Engineering made a special call to teach him how to become an academician.

With this quota, even when the King of Heaven comes, I will have to bear the surname Zhou!

Dean Zhao arrived at his desk and habitually opened his mailbox first to take a look at what matters he had today.

As an academic leader, there will be many domestic and foreign emails that need to be accepted.

As soon as I opened it, I saw a letter signed "Zhou Rui".

The title reads "Is this okay for graduation thesis?"

Dean Zhao perked up and thought to himself, Xiao Zhou is so fast? Is that all?

When I saw the attached document, it was only a few hundred KB. Dean Zhao knew clearly that it was probably just a topic selection direction.

After all, if you have a paper or paper, it won't be this size if you have a picture.

After the result is downloaded and opened.

"About the ABC Conjecture Proof Process".

This is the paper that Dean Zhao has read in his life, which kills more fish than RT-Mart, but there is still a short blank.

What the hell is this!

I went back and took another look at the source of the email. Yes, it was from Xiao Zhou.

Then I found a line of small words at the end.

"Recently, I've got some occasional income. I checked and found that a doctoral thesis can be cross-field. It just needs to be reviewed and approved. Can you see if this works?"

Dean Zhao was silent for a long time.

I can’t say whether it will work or not.

Mainly because I don't understand what you wrote.

Dean Zhao immediately called Zhou Rui.

The phone was connected and he said:

"Xiao Zhou, I received your email. This should be a paper on mathematics, right?"

In Wanhu Base, Zhou Rui didn't leave all night, and he didn't even sleep all night, but his tone couldn't tell how tired he was.

"Yes, to be precise, it is the direction of 'number theory'."

Although "mathematics" is used everywhere, Dean Zhao, an academician who specializes in nanomaterials, studies number theory to the same extent as he studies women's hearts.

It seems that I have been exposed to it for decades, but in fact I don’t understand it at all.

"Why is the span so big?"

Zhou Rui looked at the mountains of manuscript paper beside him.

Xin said it is because it is the simplest and requires the least number of paper pages.

And it has the least impact

Last night, he was extravagant and stayed up all night

Used all three "computing power creation" abilities

"Reunification of the great development", "tracing back to the origin", "imitating a cat and painting a tiger".

After saving the "money" for a year, he had no choice but to spend it at the end of the year, creating a "technical blowout" that belonged to him alone.

After Zhou Rui spent a whole night sorting and recording, he found that the results obtained by "Dayan Unification" had the least impact.

This impact does not refer to something as illusory as "academic reputation", but a deeper impact on society.

The other two need to be suppressed, at least it's not something that can be easily announced.

Zhou Rui said to Dean Zhao: "I am quite confident in this certification process."

"Only 50 pages?"

Zhou Rui smiled: "Mathematics proves that the longer it is, the more wrong it is, and the shorter it is, the more beautiful it is."

Dean Zhao: Why don’t you tell me? Mathematical proofs are often slapped in the face after being published.

Of course, he is not good at making judgments and may need intervention from the mathematics department.

It can only be said that Xiao Zhou’s path to academicianship is truly a twist and turn.

He was born in chemical materials, but his academician selection result was in aerospace engineering. The good guy's doctoral thesis was "number theory".

Why don't I apply for you to become an academician of the Academy of Sciences?

It doesn't seem impossible to wait.

After hanging up the phone, Dean Zhao took the fresh papers and went to find someone from the mathematics department. Zhou Rui himself was more precious about the pile of manuscript papers in the lounge at this time.

At early eight o'clock, the door to the lounge was pushed open. Che Gan saw the mess and was a little confused.

What did the boss do here last night? Why did you use so much paper?

Zhou Rui raised his head and glanced at this guy. If it were someone else, he might have let him go out first, but if it was just a car.

"Close the door, come in, and help me clean up."

The driver scratched his head and crept in.

Zhou Rui handed a stack of drafts to Che Gan: "The one with numbers in the upper left corner and the one in the upper right corner are two things, so distinguish them well."

While picking up the paper used by the boss on the ground, Che Gan asked curiously: "What is this?"

Zhou Rui said without looking back: "A super energy storage liquid based on polyvalent manganese element, and a lysogenic DNA defective virus."

"Can't understand"

"Just don't understand."
