Xueba's life simulator

Chapter 238 Student Achievements

Not long after returning to Luzhou after attending an old classmate's wedding, Zhou Ming's doctoral student Liu Haowen contacted him.

As Liu Haowen was Zhou Ming's first doctoral student, Zhou Ming naturally had contact with him, but the relationship between them was the same as the relationship between most graduate students and their supervisors. Usually, Zhou Ming took the initiative to contact Liu Haowen.

Generally, when Liu Haowen contacted Zhou Ming proactively, he always had some mathematical problems that he couldn't solve and wanted to ask Zhou Ming for help.

However, the reason why Liu Haowen doesn't look for Zhou Ming very often is different from other graduate students who don't look for a supervisor. The main reason is that many other graduate students don't take the initiative to find Zhou Ming.

If you don't take the initiative to find a mentor, then there is nothing wrong with it, but once you do, he will definitely arrange something for you.

Either let you go directly to him, or some other miscellaneous things, even if there is no such thing, they will also care about your recent study and project progress, ask you if you have encountered any problems, and give you some arrangements. tasks and such.

And Liu Haowen usually doesn't take the initiative to find Zhou Ming, because he doesn't have the time, and most of the problems he encounters can be solved in the knowledge points that Zhou Ming specially compiled for their graduate students.

This time Liu Haowen took the initiative to contact Zhou Ming. Zhou Ming thought that he had encountered some unsolvable problem as usual.

However, after hearing Liu Haowen's excited state when he spoke, Zhou Ming realized that this time seemed to be different from before.

"Ms. Zhou, are you at school now? In the office?"

This time Liu Haowen called directly and did not send a WeChat message. After Zhou Ming answered the call, Liu Haowen's somewhat excited voice came from the phone.

"I'm in the office, but I'm not in the office of the School of Mathematical Sciences, but in the office of the School of Life Sciences. Do you have anything to do?" Zhou Ming said to Liu Haowen on the other end of the phone with some puzzlement.

"Then I'll go to you now, I have something important to tell you."

Liu Haowen knew where Zhou Ming's offices in the School of Life Sciences and School of Mathematical Sciences were, so when he heard Zhou Ming say that he was in the offices of the School of Life Sciences, he immediately said so, without waiting for Zhou Ming to ask more questions He hung up the phone immediately.

"This child, why is he so startled? This time he talked without beginning or end."

After hanging up the phone at Liu Haowen's side, Zhou Ming said to himself in a daze, "Could it be that the Mersenne prime number distribution conjecture he chose has been proven? Or has there been any major progress?"

Thinking of this, Zhou Ming became interested. If Liu Haowen really solved the Mersenne prime distribution conjecture conjectured by Zhou, then Zhou Ming could directly complete the task released by the life simulator, and use the life simulator for the next simulation without having to worry about it again. Continue to wait.

However, Zhou Ming didn't receive a reminder that the life simulator task was completed, so after thinking about it, Zhou Ming quickly denied this guess.

Just when Zhou Ming was still thinking about Liu Haowen, Liu Haowen had already rushed over in a hurry.

This summer Liu Haowen did not leave school, did not go out to play, but applied to stay in school, and stayed in school to study his graduation project. Zhou guessed that this is why he was looking for Zhou Ming in school in August during the summer vacation. s reason.

"Seeing that you are running out of breath, don't be in a hurry for anything, right? Take a break and catch your breath." Seeing Liu Haowen running over panting and sweating profusely, Zhou Ming said to him.

It's August now, it's still more than 30 degrees outside, and the weather is still very hot. It's no wonder that Liu Haowen can't sweat running outside in this weather.

"Hu~hu~hu... Teacher, Gulu Gulu..." Liu Haowen shouted to Zhou Ming while panting heavily, and Zhou Ming also handed him a glass of water.

After drinking the water that Zhou Ming handed over, Liu Haowen looked at Zhou Ming, and continued to say to Zhou Ming with an unconcealable excited tone: "Teacher, I have thought of a way to prove Zhou's conjecture."

"Really?" Hearing what Liu Haowen said, Zhou Ming also showed joy on his face.

But the joy quickly faded away, because when Liu Haowen said this, Zhou Ming didn't receive a reminder from the life simulator about the completion of the task.

"Tell me what your general idea is." After calming down quickly, Zhou Ming said to Liu Haowen.

“我的想法是这样的……当初这个猜想被提出来的时候，利用的是联系观察法和不完全归纳法，但是我这次用的是……这样就能够证明当2^（2^n）<P<2^（2^n+1）时，Mp有个2^（n+1）-1个是素数。”

After Zhou Ming finished speaking to Liu Haowen, Liu Haowen took a break and was almost done, and began to tell Zhou Ming his idea of ​​proving Zhou's conjecture, "The most important thing is, I will use the book you wrote for us. , and found a new method to specifically solve number theory problems like Zhou Ming’s conjecture.”

"I don't say that this method can solve all number theory problems, but I tried it. It is simpler and more convenient to solve some existing number theory problems than the previous methods."

After Liu Haowen finished talking about his idea of ​​proving Zhou's conjecture, he talked about a new mathematical method he found from the knowledge points that Zhou Ming sorted out for them.

Zhou Ming, on the other hand, nodded seriously after listening to Liu Haowen's words, with some puzzled expressions on his face.

Because the train of thought mentioned by Liu Haowen is exactly what he already has in his mind, the method of proving Zhou's conjecture in the future.

In fact, Zhou Ming conjectures that even if Liu Haowen comes up with this method now, Zhou Ming believes that due to the futuristic mathematical methods he used to prove the twin prime conjecture and Goldbach’s conjecture, Zhou’s conjecture will be rejected in at most two or three years. Others proved it.

But what Zhou Ming wondered was, since Liu Haowen had already thought of the idea and correct method to prove Zhou's conjecture, why did the life simulator still not prompt that the task was completed?Not to mention 1/1, even 1/3 is not displayed.

This is exactly where Zhou Ming was puzzled, but since the life simulator didn't give a reminder, and didn't show that the task was completed, it must be that the task is not completed in the eyes of the life simulator.

"Could it be that he has to write out the entire proof process of Zhou's conjecture to complete the task? I just don't know how the life simulator will judge Liu Haowen's proof of completing Zhou's conjecture this time as 1/1 Or 1/3?" Zhou Ming thought in his mind.

But now Liu Haowen is still waiting for Zhou Ming to give instructions. It is impossible for Zhou Ming to think about this matter here all the time. Even if he wants to verify the guess in his mind, he can only wait for Liu Haowen to write out the proof process of Zhou's conjecture. OK.

Therefore, after Liu Haowen finished speaking, Zhou Ming quickly said to him: "Well, there is nothing wrong with your thinking. After you go back, you can write out the complete proof process according to the thinking you just said. "

When talking about this matter with Zhou Ming, Liu Haowen was still a little uneasy. After all, although he thought there was nothing wrong with his idea, after all, he has not really written out the complete proof process to prove Zhou's conjecture. Not necessarily [-]% correct.

If there were any mistakes that he was not aware of, he came to Zhou Ming so excitedly, and Zhou Ming casually pointed out a few mistakes. Although Zhou Ming was his mentor, this still made Liu Haowen feel a little embarrassed.

This is the difference between a student and a teacher. Many students are afraid that something is wrong with them, whether they are standing up to answer questions during class, or asking the teacher for some questions or asking the teacher for help.

But for many teachers, it's great that students can stand up in class and answer their own questions, or reach out to themselves, far better than if they don't stand up and answer questions, come to themselves .

"Good teacher, I'll go back and spend time writing out the proof process." After speaking, Liu Haowen was about to leave Zhou Ming's office.

"Don't be in a hurry, don't be in such a hurry, this complete proof process will take you some time, just take your time." Zhou Ming advised.

"Understood, teacher." After Liu Haowen finished speaking, he left here.

Seeing Liu Haowen's appearance, Zhou Ming knew that he must not have listened. He must have started to get into the complete proof process of Zhou's conjecture as soon as he returned. This was the same as Zhou Ming.

Actually, most of Zhou Mingxuan’s students have this habit. After focusing on doing a certain thing, they will devote themselves wholeheartedly to it. Apart from eating and sleeping, they will hardly care about other things until the problem is solved.

"When I chose to leave Peking University, coming here is really the most correct choice I made in my life." After leaving Zhou Ming's office, Liu Haowen thought to himself on the way back.

Although the current School of Mathematical Sciences of Huaguo University of Science and Technology has improved a lot in terms of reputation and achievements compared to two years ago.

However, if you want to say that the best mathematics department in this country is Peking University.

When Liu Haowen chose to leave Peking University and transfer to Huaguo University of Science and Technology, there were also teachers from Peking University who persuaded him. After hearing that he chose Zhou Ming, there were fewer people who persuaded him.

Even so, there are still people who talk about the mathematics major of Huaguo University of Science and Technology, whether it is the history of development or its achievements in mathematics, it is not as good as Peking University, and persuade Liu Haowen to think more about it.

Of course, the achievements they mentioned automatically filter out Zhou Ming's achievements. After all, if Zhou Ming is included, there is no comparison.

With the development of the past two years, although the reputation of the School of Mathematical Sciences of Huaguo University of Science and Technology is still not as good as that of the Department of Mathematics of Peking University, there are faint signs of surpassing it now.

As long as Liu Haowen writes out the proof process of Zhou's conjecture and publishes it to be recognized by the mathematics community, everyone will know that the School of Mathematical Sciences of Huaguo University of Science and Technology not only has a mathematician like Zhou Ming, but also has the ability Cultivate masters.

As for Liu Haowen, as long as he solves Zhou's conjecture, then Liu Haowen can at least gain a firm foothold in the entire Chinese mathematics community.

Although the reputation is definitely not as good as his mentor Zhou Ming, it is still far behind, but with such an achievement alone, it is safe for him to teach in the mathematics department of any "985" university in China.

"It seems that the task of the life simulator is about to be completed this time. Should I continue to solve the next math problem?" After Liu Haowen left Zhou Ming's office, Zhou Ming also began to think about it, but this idea was finally rejected. He delayed.

After some thought, Zhou Ming still felt that Liu Haowen's proof of Zhou's conjecture should be calculated as 1/1 in the life simulator.

After all, although Zhou Ming already had the proof process of Zhou's conjecture in his mind, he didn't write it out directly, that is, he sorted out some new methods that he had published in other mathematics papers, and solved some of his graduate students' inquiries. The problem, this is completely not his dominance.

"Let's wait until the task of the life simulator is completed this time, after a simulation.

Although it seems that the extreme events encountered in the last simulation should not be triggered later, it is still more reliable to conduct another simulation, otherwise I will not feel at ease. "Zhou Ming continued to think in his heart.

Soon, as time went by, the summer vacation also passed.

Those graduate students of Zhou Ming also arrived in Luzhou one after another, and came to Huaguo University of Science and Technology to report.

On the side of the School of Life Sciences, Zhou Ming accepted a total of four graduate students this year, two of whom were admitted through the summer camp, one through the unified recruitment, and one through the September guaranteed research. One of the undergraduates is a student of Huaguo University of Science and Technology.

As for mathematics, Zhou Ming accepted one less graduate student this year. In addition to Jian Chunyu, who passed the summer camp, there were two other graduate students who also passed the unified recruitment and the guaranteed research in September.

These students had contacted Zhou Ming as early as last year, and they were quite familiar with each other in the group chat before, it didn't look like they had never met each other.

And after the start of school at Huaguo University of Science and Technology, they finally came to a dinner party and met each other for the first time.

"Your head Liu Haowen has something to deal with, so he can't come today. If you guys want to find him, you also have his contact information, just contact him directly."

After gathering all his graduate students together, Zhou Ming said to the graduate students in mathematics.

"Teacher, I heard from Senior Liu that he has made a breakthrough in his graduation project?" a student asked Zhou Ming.

"Well, he will be able to graduate next year and get his doctorate certificate. I don't know what his future plans are. If he plans to stay here to continue studying mathematics, he may not only be your senior, but also your senior. teacher." Zhou Ming said.

"Huh? So fast, I remember Senior Liu has been here for less than a year, right? We've just entered school, and he's about to graduate."
