The top student must be diligent

Nearly 40 million!

"Damn it, how many houses do you need to buy in Feishi?"

Even in Beijing or Shanghai, you should be able to buy a large flat, right?

Um……

It may still be far away from the legendary first-grade Tomson.

After being shocked for a while, he finally came to his senses.

Obviously, this money came from the World Bank project, with a total bonus of 10 million US dollars, and as the main contributor, he received 6 million.

Who says you can’t make money by studying? !

Chapter 127: Stealing the baton from the mounted policeman

At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door of the room.

Xiao Yi put down his cell phone, walked over and opened the door, and then saw Terence Tao and James Maynard running over with very excited faces.

"Xiao Yi, did you receive it? The bank sent a message saying that Maynard and I both received more than 1 million dollars. This should be the money from our project, right?"

Seeing the expressions of the two people, Xiao Yi smiled and said: "Yes, I received it too."

He showed the text message interface on his phone to the two people.

Although Terence Tao and Maynard could not understand the Chinese in this text message, they could still recognize the Arabic numerals. When they saw the 6 followed by a long string of zeros, they both showed envious expressions.

Of course, this is also the distribution that was agreed upon at the beginning, so there is no room for jealousy or the like.

"Thank you very much for this, Xiao Yi."

Tao Zhexuan patted Xiao Yi on the shoulder and said, "If you hadn't talked to the chief information officer of the World Bank that day, otherwise, it would have been three months before the money would arrive."

Xiao Yi smiled and said: "It's okay, there's nothing to thank you for. After all, this is also good for me."

Suddenly, Terence Tao's phone rang, and when he saw it, it was Professor Kleinrock.

As soon as the phone call came through, Kleinrock shouted excitedly: "Have you received it? Have you received it? Our money has arrived!!"

The three people smiled and said: "Copy that, Professor."

"Damn it, didn't the World Bank say it would take three months for the money to arrive? Why did it arrive so quickly this time? It's only been a few days, right?"

Kleinrock did not come to this mathematics conference. In his words, among all the reports, only Xiao Yi's report was of interest to him, but he already knew what Xiao Yi's report was about. , as for the other mathematics reports, he couldn't understand them either, so there was no need to come.

Therefore, he did not know about the conversation between Xiao Yi and Brian Winston that day.

So, after the explanations of the three people, Kleinlock said: "So that's it! Thank you so much, Xiao Yi."

"But is your meeting over there over? Is Xiao Yi leaving too? And Maynard?"

"Yes." Xiao Yi and Maynard replied.

"That's such a pity." Kleinlock sighed. As an old man, whenever he encounters this kind of separation, he is probably most worried about whether we can see each other again in the future.

"No matter what, you are all good collaborators. I hope we can have the opportunity to meet again in the future."

Maynard smiled and said, "Maybe there will be a chance to work together again?"

Kleinrock smiled and said: "Hahaha, I probably won't do any more projects in the future. No matter what, I am satisfied enough to be able to achieve this kind of result on the last project in my life, and I can even make money." With such a large amount of money, haha! Maybe I can buy my grandson Thomas his favorite Mustang.”

"Thomas will be delighted."

"Haha, I think so!" Kleinlock said with a hearty smile: "Then I won't say any more and see you again when you have the chance!"

"Okay, Professor Kleinrock."

After hanging up the phone, the three of them fell silent for a while.

After all, they all knew that it was time to say goodbye.

Finally, the eldest Terence Tao said: "Okay, two guys, although our x^2+1 prime number problem has not been solved, it is not surprising, and it cannot be that easy in mathematics. problem that can be solved.”

"When we go back, we can still communicate."

"Yes." Maynard nodded and smiled: "And no matter what, we have gained a lot!"

The three of them all thought of the text message on their phones and laughed.

"Professor Zhang Yitang is very lucky. Your Landau-Siegel zero-point conjecture should be very close to being solved, right?"

Tao Zhexuan thought of this incident and said.

Using Xiao's expansion, the difficulty of proving the Landau-Siegel zero-point conjecture can be greatly reduced. Although it is not said that it can be proved immediately, some mathematicians have already made predictions. At least in the next few years, Lang will The Dow-Siegel zero-point conjecture may be proven, and the mathematical community basically agrees with this.

However, Tao Zhexuan and Maynard obviously need to know better. Zhang Yitang himself has studied the zero-point conjecture for many years. Now with Xiao Yi's help, it may not be long before they can see the paper on arxiv.

Xiao Yi smiled and said, "It shouldn't be too different."

The paper that Xiao developed was first sent to Zhang Yitang and then uploaded to arxiv.

So Zhang Yitang was one of the first people in the world to finish reading the paper.

After he finished reading it, he called Xiao Yi directly.

Xiao Yi could probably still remember the excitement in his tone.

After that, Zhang Yitang began to immerse himself in research, so he did not come to this joint mathematics meeting.

However, he did say that he would come to pick Xiao Yi up to Santa Barbara. According to the time...

Speak of the devil, the devil will appear.

The knock on the door sounded again.

Xiao Yi went to open the door again and saw Zhang Yitang standing outside.

"Professor Zhang, you are here."

Zhang Yitang smiled and nodded, looking in a good mood, and asked gently: "Have you packed your luggage? I drove here and will go back directly later."

"I have packed it." Xiao Yi nodded.

Tao Zhexuan and Maynard also came up, smiled and greeted Zhang Yitang, and said: "Professor Zhang, then Xiao Yi will be handed over to you."

"No problem." Zhang Yitang gestured OK.

Tao and Maynard nodded, and then said, "We should go too."

The time of separation has finally arrived.

After saying goodbye, Tao got on the car back to Los Angeles, and Maynard went to the airport.

As for Xiao Yi, he got on Zhang Yitang's car and went to Santa Barbara.

…

From San Jose to Santa Barbara, you need to pass California Highway 1, which is a famous scenic highway with sea views and vast plains along the way.

The scenery is very good.

However, when their car passed the sea view highway, Xiao Yi felt a sense of déjà vu at first glance.

Finally, he suddenly thought of the game he played when he was a child, that is, the picture of the seaside highway in Violent Motorcycle.

The more he looked at it, the more similar it was. He checked it online. Wow, it turns out that Highway 1 is really the prototype of the picture in Violent Motorcycle.

So, looking at the coastline next to him, he seemed to recall the afternoon 10 years ago, when he was kicked into the sea by the AI ​​opponent on the Big Brain computer.

"What are you thinking about?"

Zhang Yitang's voice suddenly sounded.

"I was thinking about how to snatch a baton from the police."

Outside the car, a policeman whizzed past. Xiao Yi remembered the operation in the violent motorcycle and said subconsciously.

Zhang Yitang looked at him in horror: "What did you say?!"

Please!

The police are outside, okay!

Xiao Yi came back to his senses immediately, "Ahem..."

He smiled awkwardly but politely, and then he explained briefly.

"Oh! So you are talking about that game." Zhang Yitang suddenly realized, and then laughed: "I also played it for a long time back then, but later I forgot about it because of mathematical research."

Then he said nostalgically: "Speaking of which, it has been so many years."

Xiao Yi also nodded with emotion.

For him, it was the same.

The old and the young, after a while of mutual emotion, finally got back to the topic.

"Thanks to your Xiao's development, after these days of research, I have solved many of the problems I encountered before, and now I am only focusing on the last few key issues."

Xiao Yi nodded, "What are the main issues?"

"I have written them down, take a look."

Zhang Yitang opened the armrest box and took out a stack of draft paper.
