Chapter 209 Academician's doubts

"Since you agreed to join, let's sign the non-disclosure agreement by the way." Zhou Ming said to Zhang Mingjie again.

"There is also a non-disclosure agreement?" Zhang Mingjie was a little curious after hearing what Zhou Ming said about the non-disclosure agreement.

"It's not surprising, isn't it, you should have signed a related non-disclosure agreement when you accepted graduate students, right?

Otherwise, if the graduate students participating in the tutor's experiment have a bad relationship with the tutor and leak all the experimental data of their tutor in advance, wouldn't there be no punishment? "

Zhou Ming didn't know why Zhang Mingjie felt strange.

"I'm not curious about why there is a non-disclosure agreement, but I'm curious about what your research is doing, so mysterious." Zhang Mingjie explained. "It's no wonder that the researchers who joined your team and cooperated with you kept silent about the things in your place. It turned out that they all signed the agreement."

"After all, what they involve is some very confidential information. Whether it is biotechnology or the experimental process, it needs to be kept secret. No matter what it is, it will be a loss to us if it is leaked out.

As for what to study, you will know when the time comes. "

Before Zhang Mingjie really joined, it was definitely impossible for Zhou Ming to tell him more specific content in advance.

……

On the 30th, that is, the last day of this month, Yuan Yaxiang finally arrived in Luzhou.

"You're going to take a short vacation after you start working, right?"

When Zhou Ming went to the train station to pick up Yuan Yaxiang and saw him for the first time, he said to him with a smile.

"There is nothing fake or fake about our scientific researchers. I can't wait to join in the big pie you drew."

Before Yuan Yaxiang met Zhou Ming, he also knew that Zhou Ming was joking with him, so he also said to Zhou Ming with a smile.

This Yuan Yaxiang met Zhou Ming when he participated in the Su Buqing Applied Mathematics Award Ceremony during the summer vacation. After talking with Yuan Yaxiang, Zhou Ming invited him to his future smart technology company.

Now that Yuan Yaxiang has finished dealing with his affairs, he will come over.

"Look at what you said, how can this be called painting big cakes, this..." Before Zhou Ming could speak, he was interrupted by the phone ringing.

The ringtone came from Zhou Ming's cell phone. When he took out his cell phone and saw the caller ID on the cell phone screen, he said to Yuan Yaxiang, "Wait a minute, I'll answer the call."

While pressing the answer button, Zhou Ming walked to the other side where there was no one.

"Hey, Zhou Ming, you found the person you wanted last time, and I'll send it to you this afternoon. Just in time, I heard that in the past few days after returning from your capital, you have made a big move in Luzhou. Very good, I just took a look, and I brought two people with me by the way, and I have some things to talk to you about."

It was Zhou Chunli who called this time, and his purpose of calling was to tell Zhou Ming that the driver Zhou Ming wanted last time had been found for him.

Zhou Ming was also very happy when he heard the news from Zhou Chunli. He said to Zhou Chunli, "When will you arrive in the afternoon? Are you here by special car or high-speed rail? Or by plane? Do you want me to pick you up?"

"No need, we'll just go to school to find you when the time comes. Are you at school this afternoon?" Zhou Chunli asked.

"Yes, I'm in the office of the School of Life Sciences in the afternoon." Zhou Ming said.

"That's fine." Hearing Zhou Ming say that he was at school in the afternoon, Zhou Chunli was relieved, and soon hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone with Zhou Chunli, Zhou Ming also came to Yuan Yaxiang's side and said to him, "I'll take you to the Future Smart Technology Company first. I have something to do in the afternoon."

"It's okay." Yuan Yaxiang said, and went to Future Smart Technology Company with Zhou Ming.

After visiting the Future Smart Technology Company, Yuan Yaxiang followed Zhou Ming back to Zhou Ming's office in the College of Life Sciences of Huaguo University of Science and Technology.

"Sit down, I'll pour you a glass of water." After leading Yuan Yaxiang into his office, Zhou Ming prepared to pour water for Yuan Yaxiang.

"No need, I just finished drinking it outside, and I really can't drink it anymore." Seeing Zhou Ming being so polite, Yuan Ya asked Zhou Ming to pour you water, which was too polite, so she stopped him immediately.

Seeing what Yuan Yaxiang said, Zhou Ming didn't pour him any more water, but was going to continue talking to him about the research project that he was allowed to participate in, but Yuan Yaxiang had sharp eyes, and for some reason, he caught a glimpse of Zhou Ming's table On some messy draft paper.

Looking at the densely packed, one after another, a lot of mathematical formulas and mathematical symbols written on Zhou Ming's desk, which was not neat at all, Yuan Yaxiang immediately became interested.

"Professor Zhou, have you been studying mathematics recently?" Yuan Yaxiang asked Zhou Ming as he approached his desk.

Yuan Yaxiang was originally a mathematician. If Zhou Ming was not the winner of the 14th Su Buqing Applied Mathematics Award at the opening ceremony of the [-]th Annual Conference of Huaguo Industrial and Applied Mathematics held in Shonan in August this year, then this winner The person is Yuan Yaxiang, who is engaged in research work in the fields of computational mathematics, applied mathematics, and operations research.

"Well, but I've been busy recently, and I've taken time out to calculate." Zhou Ming explained.

"I thought you were focused on biology now and weren't going to study mathematics anymore.

Let me just say, how can you, who has proved the twin prime number conjecture and Goldbach's conjecture, give up mathematics so easily. "

As Yuan Yaxiang said, he had already walked to Zhou Ming's desk, and began to look at the draft paper on the desk.

After Yuan Yaxiang glanced at the page he picked up at random, his originally happy expression turned into a frown, and he stopped talking.

Soon, Yuan Yaxiang picked up the draft paper he saw in the first courtyard, and continued to frown at another draft paper.

However, after Yuan Yaxiang took a few glances at the Chapter 2 draft paper, his frown not only did not decrease, but actually increased a lot.

Zhou Ming did not stop Yuan Yaxiang, but sat on the sofa beside him and waited quietly for Yuan Yaxiang.

Because Zhou Ming knew that Yuan Yaxiang would not stay on those draft papers for too long.

The reason for being so sure is that these draft papers were the wrong route that Zhou Ming took when proving the Riemann Hypothesis.

And, more importantly, these wrong routes are the routes that Zhou Ming continues to explore on the basis of the future that many mathematicians have studied for decades on the Riemann Hypothesis.

Although Zhou Ming had already used some improved mathematical methods in the future when proving the twin prime conjecture and Goldbach's conjecture, the span was still too large.

This is like when you do a math problem, you just skip a dozen steps and start writing directly from the No. 20 step. How can others understand it directly?
He will only be confused by the conditions you used in this first step, which are not given in many questions.

And this is also the reason why Yuan Yaxiang frowned, because he found that he couldn't understand the proof process on Zhou Ming's draft paper.

Even if he does not count primary and secondary schools and undergraduates, he has engaged in mathematics research for more than 30 years, and this time he is like many people who do not understand mathematics.

Compared with those who are not majors in mathematics, Yuan Yaxiang feels that the only difference between them is that he can understand these Arabic numerals and various mathematical symbols.

But when these numbers and symbols changed together, he couldn't understand them.

"Professor Zhou, what are you doing with your draft paper?"

Although a mathematician like himself couldn't even understand these processes, it was a bit embarrassing to say it, but in the end Yuan Yaxiang asked Zhou Ming this question.

There is no way, these numbers and formulas seem to attract him with a strange magic power. If he doesn't figure out what these things are for today, I'm afraid he won't be able to sleep well when he goes back tonight.

"Actually, it's normal if you don't understand."

When Zhou Ming finished the first sentence, he found that Yuan Yaxiang's expression didn't change. He obviously felt that he was really comforting him, and he didn't take it seriously.

So he continued to say to him: "Because I omitted some steps in the middle, and used some mathematical methods that have not been published yet."

After Zhou Ming finished the last sentence, Yuan Yaxiang's expression changed. He had indeed heard that some mathematicians had discovered some mathematical formulas or simpler mathematical methods from the unpublished manuscripts of other well-known mathematicians.

After all, many mathematicians publish condensed papers, and it is normal for them to find some formulas or methods that can be calculated more easily in their original manuscripts.

For example, the Riemann-Siegel formula, which is the asymptotic formula of the approximate function equation error of the Riemann ζ function, the former is an approximation of the ζ function, which is approximated by the sum of two finite Dirichlet series, this formula is Siegel launched it based on Riemann's original unpublished manuscript.

Riemann is not bad. He has a good habit of keeping manuscripts. Some mathematicians don’t know where to throw their manuscripts when they run out.

When Riemann died at the age of 39, his housekeeper burned most of his manuscripts, and the last few manuscripts were donated by his wife to a friend of his.

And Siegel discovered this formula from such an unpublished manuscript in the 1850s. More precisely, Siegel derived the formula that was later applied from the Riemann-Siegel integral formula. The Riemann-Siegel formula, so it is called the Riemann-Siegel formula.

The Riemann-Siegel formula is an expression involving the contour integral of the zeta function, which is usually used to calculate the value of the Riemann-Siegel formula, combined with the Odritzko-Schoenhager algorithm, can greatly speed up the algorithm.

What Yuan Yaxiang didn't expect was that this kind of thing that he had only seen in books before actually happened to him today.

"Then if I ask Professor Zhou for some draft paper, will there be a chance to come up with some Yuan-Zhou formula?" Yuan Yaxiang began to think wildly, but his thoughts didn't wander too far before he was pulled back.

"Why are you thinking about such a thing now?"

After pulling back his thoughts, Yuan Yaxiang smiled awkwardly, and said to Zhou Ming: "So that's the case, I read a few pages and almost wanted to go back to kindergarten to receive education again.

I wonder what Professor Zhou is researching?Although I can't understand it, it seems that it is still in number theory? "

Although Zhou Ming published several papers involving other fields of mathematics when he was an undergraduate, what really made Zhou Ming famous in the entire mathematics circle was his proof of the twin prime number conjecture and Goldbach's conjecture, so Yuan Yaxiang speculated that Zhou Ming's this time The research may also be a problem in number theory.

However, there are too many conjectures that have not been solved in number theory, such as the Mossonian prime number conjecture, the ABC conjecture, the Riemann conjecture, etc. Yuan Yaxiang dare not guess blindly.

"It's about Riemann's conjecture." Zhou Ming explained to Yuan Yaxiang, "Actually, I feel that the last few steps are missing now, but I can't get out of these few steps."

Hearing Zhou Ming talk about Riemann's conjecture, Yuan Yaxiang couldn't get in his mouth. He didn't know much about it, so he didn't follow Zhou Ming's question.

"Do you have anything else to ask?" Zhou Ming said to Yuan Yaxiang again.

"It's gone." Yuan Yaxiang shook his head.

"Then let's talk about letting you participate in the research, anyway, you signed the confidentiality agreement.

The research that the future smart technology company is going to let you participate in is related to algorithms related to brain-like neural networks.

This is still in its infancy, and after the algorithm is developed, it will continue to be studied in depth, so this research will take a long time, and it may take you a lifetime.

Your specific task is to be responsible for researching the mathematical aspects of this algorithm.

This is a big project, and of course you will not be the only one to carry it out. The company will also have many talents in the field of mathematics, and will continue to recruit experts in applied mathematics like you in the future. "

Now that Yuan Yaxiang was fine, Zhou Ming began to talk about the company's research.

"But..." After Zhou Ming finished speaking, Yuan Yaxiang just wanted to say something, but Zhou Ming interrupted him again.

"I know what you want to say. You can follow the above for the specific research plan in mathematics." After speaking, Zhou Ming handed Yuan Yaxiang a small USB flash drive.

"Are you sure what's in it can solve my problem?" Yuan Yaxiang said to Zhou Ming with some disbelief, after all, he hadn't said anything just now.

"You can go back and take a look at the contents of the USB flash drive. If you think you have any questions, you can ask me directly. However, I suggest that when you insert the USB flash drive, it is best not to connect to the Internet.

The documents inside are extremely confidential, and if they get out, you'll regret it yourself. "

Zhou Ming said again.

Being made so mysterious by Zhou Ming, Yuan Yaxiang became even more curious about the contents of the flash drive. He looked at the time and found that it was only eleven o'clock, so he said to Zhou Ming, "Why don't I Use your computer in the office to take a look first? I’ll disconnect from the internet before watching.”

However, Zhou Ming did not agree with Yuan Yaxiang's proposal, he shook his head and said to Yuan Yaxiang: "It's only eleven o'clock now, but if I let you watch it here, I'm afraid you won't be in the mood to eat.

It's better to go to have lunch first, and watch it again when you have enough time in the afternoon. "
