After deciding to try to prove Goldbach's conjecture in two ways, Zhao Yi felt relaxed. It is always good not to have to make a choice. In the worst case, he would spend more learning coins and spend more brains on thinking.

If there is a road in the middle that does not work, you can walk along the road that can pass.

He began to think.

Before, he still thought more about the second method, that is, the method of establishing the center line, and regarded a sufficiently large number N as the center line.

If the number N is a prime number, its double even number can naturally be represented by the sum of two prime numbers.

If the number N is not a prime number, use the prime number N as the center line to find out the symmetric numbers of all the prime numbers.

This allows for analysis.

As long as one of these symmetric numbers is a prime number, it can be proved that "any sufficiently large number has symmetric prime numbers (including itself) before and after", and Goldbach's conjecture is naturally established.

Zhao Yi thought about this method for a while, and he found that the simplest and crudest method is to multiply all symmetrical numbers and analyze the largest factor of the obtained numbers.

As long as the conclusion that the largest factor is greater than or equal to N can be drawn, it is naturally proved that there must be a prime number among them.

But simplicity and roughness do not mean easy. Multiplying all symmetrical numbers will produce a very large column, and it is very difficult to analyze it.

The proof method in a broad sense he thought about, that is, to prove that the combination of all prime numbers (and the prime number itself) covers all occasional, the proof is obviously very complicated, and it can be seen at a glance that the sieve method must be used.

The previous proofs of Goldbach's conjecture almost all used the sieve method.

Whether it is mathematicians from other countries or Chen Jingrun who proved '1+2', they have used the sieve method to analyze Goldbach's conjecture to the extreme. Most mathematicians believe that they want to use the sieve method to solve Goldbach's conjecture. , is already impossible, as evidenced by the lack of progress for more than 40 years.

Therefore, simply using the sieve method will definitely not work.

Chen Ming used group theory to study Goldbach's conjecture, which provided Zhao Yi with a new way of thinking.

Zhao Yi fell into deep thought.

Although he didn't write any words on the straw paper with a pen, he had deduced a lot of calculations and methods in his mind.

This class feels like the time is fast.

When Zhao Yi was still thinking, he was pulled by his neighbor Fan Lei, "get out of class is over! Why are you still staring at the blackboard?"

"oh oh."

Zhao Yi shook his head, packed his books and prepared to leave.

When walking past the podium, Hu Zhibin and Zhao Yi said, "Zhao Yi, what have you learned?"

This question is a bit inexplicable.

Hu Zhibin even felt that he was a bit talkative. He didn't go very well in one class, and he couldn't explain the uneasiness and sadness in his heart to outsiders.

In fact, Hu Zhibin has already adapted to Zhao Yi in class. More than half a semester has passed, and there is nothing he can do if he doesn't adapt. But during class, he always looks at Zhao Yi, and occasionally glances over and finds that Zhao Yi is sleeping. , Waiting for a light breath, I feel very relaxed.

If he hadn’t been sleeping for a long time, but was talking to other students, Hu Zhibin would also feel very relaxed, because the representative Zhao Yi didn’t listen to the class seriously, and there would be no problem with what he said.

This class is different.

Zhao Yi did sleep for a while at first, and then he looked at the blackboard and listened energetically. He suddenly felt very depressed, raised his head and subconsciously looked at Zhao Yi, but found that Zhao Yi was still very serious.

serious?

What are you serious about!

What Hu Zhibin talked about was basic knowledge. He was sure that Zhao Yi didn't need to listen at all, but Zhao Yi kept listening carefully. He was afraid of being singled out for something wrong.

Of course.

Zhao Yi has never done this before, but there is a person who has made great achievements in the field of mathematics to listen to the lecture, which brings great pressure.

Hu Zhibin was depressed for the whole class. When the class was over, he found that Zhao Yi was still looking at the blackboard seriously.

"What is this for?"

"Did you fall asleep with your eyes open?"

"Still thinking about something?"

Hu Zhibin couldn't help being curious, so he asked a question anyway.

Zhao Yi's reaction was unexpected, he stopped and nodded and said, "It's a great harvest."

"Oh?" Hu Zhibin was a little confused.

"I have already decided what method to use to think about Goldbach's conjecture."

"……Is it……"

Hu Zhibin really didn't know what to say. Did he talk about number theory and prime numbers in class?

How can I remember Goldbach's conjecture while listening to the class?

Could it be that what I'm talking about is the advanced mathematics class, can it have a deeper connotation?

……

After Zhao Yi left the classroom with the others, he went directly to the biology building to find the dean Wu Yanping.

Wu Yanping said before, let him come to the dean's office.

It was the first time Zhao Yi came to the dean's office. When he came, he asked two people to find the room. When he knocked on the door and walked in, he heard a somewhat rough female voice from inside, "Please come in."

This voice reminded Zhao Yi of Niu Lianhua.

Walk in the door.

Zhao Yi met Wu Yanping.

It wasn't the first time he saw Wu Yanping, but he had seen him two or three times, but he didn't speak directly, he was only introduced once, and he didn't pay close attention to it.

Now when he was facing Wu Yanping, Zhao Yi realized that Wu Yanping was indeed somewhat similar to Niu Lianhua.

Not the appearance, but the temperament.

The temperaments of the two are similar, and there is an unfriendly aura exuding from all over their bodies.

Zhao Yi was greeted at the desk, facing Wu Yanping, he didn't know what expression to show.

laugh?

serious?

nervous?

"If you were an ordinary student, you would be very nervous, right?"

Zhao Yi was thinking.

Wu Yanping seemed to be trying to keep her voice down as she asked, "Have you had lunch yet?"

"No, just finished class."

Wu Yanping nodded and continued to ask, "I'm looking for you today. That's it. I want to ask you, have you considered what you want to do after graduation?"

"After graduation?"

Zhao Yi immediately shook his head, "Isn't it too early for me to graduate? I'm just a freshman, and there are still more than three years left."

"..."

Wu Yanping found that the first sentence of culture was off the center, and she tried to correct it, "I just want to chat with you, don't think too much, just treat me as the elder in your family. In this way, Zhao Yi, you are from our college A genius is also a genius in other colleges."

"There are many geniuses in the world, and the education of geniuses is often different."

"In the past few years at Shuimu University, there have been two very young students. One was only 15 years old when he entered school, and the other was only 16 years old. There is also a student from Shoumu University who completed his undergraduate studies in only two and a half years. .”

"Zhao Yi, you are more talented than them, so I was wondering, have you considered graduating directly?"

Zhao Yi nodded following his train of thought, and then asked, "Then what am I going to do after graduation?"

"..."

Wu Yanping sounds familiar, isn't that what she asked just now?

She took a deep breath and analyzed, "You are now a researcher at the Biomedical Research Institute. If you can get a diploma, you can become a formal researcher."

"But it's the same for me whether I become a regular or not. Anyway, I have my own laboratory, and I don't rely on this job to live." What Zhao Yi means is that it doesn't matter whether you work or not. If you do research within the system, there are no projects that can be taken over by outsiders, and you can't make much money.

Although a job cannot be measured by money, at least most people work for money, even in the field of scientific research.

Wu Yanping took another breath, "It's still too early for you to work directly. I think you can consider continuing to study for a master's degree. You are in all laboratories of biomedical research and have already produced results. The college can provide You give the green light, and you are guaranteed to get a master’s degree within half a year.”

Zhao Yi said bluntly, "But, I don't think it's meaningful. What kind of degree is probably not very useful to me!"

This is true.

With Zhao Yi's achievements in various fields, he has already won many awards, and he can be hired as a professor in various universities without the support of academic qualifications.

Wu Yanping quickly changed his mind, and continued, "Haven't you considered studying abroad? Go abroad, go outside, go to the top universities in the world, such as Cambridge, Oxford, Harvard, Princeton, etc."

Zhao Yi shook his head, "No."

"why?"

"When I was taking the university entrance examination, I was able to choose a foreign university, but I still refused. If I were to go abroad, I would prefer to travel rather than study, and I am still young, so I haven't considered studying abroad yet. Why do you have to wait for a master’s degree abroad after graduating from a bachelor’s degree? I think many people are like this.”

"...You are different."

"the same."

Zhao Yi said very low-key, "Dean Wu, treat me as an ordinary student."

Wu Yanping found that the topic was a bit wrong, so she quickly turned back, "So you don't want to graduate earlier and make important choices for the next stage of life earlier?"

"Do not want to."

Zhao Yi shook his head, "I understand what you mean. You want me to graduate early, right? But I think it's too early for me to graduate. I can learn a lot in the usual courses. There is no benefit in graduating early. .”

"For example, today's advanced mathematics class is very important, and it is very helpful for the research I will do soon."

"is it?"

Wu Yanping didn't understand. The only thing she could be sure of was that Zhao Yi didn't want to graduate early at all.

So, what to say?

"I respect your decision." Wu Yanping said one last sentence, without any depression on his face, but with a smile on his face.

She is in a good mood.

Although others asked her to persuade Zhao Yi to graduate, she thought it would be good for Zhao Yi to continue his undergraduate studies because Zhao Yi continued to stay in the School of Life Sciences.

If Zhao Yi graduated from undergraduate, I don’t know where he will go to study for a master’s degree. Even if he goes directly to work, he will most likely go to the School of Science if he stays in school. He holds a professorship in the School of Science. I work at the Institute of Medicine, but it seems that the relationship with the School of Life is not so great.

So it is very good for Zhao Yi to continue his undergraduate studies.

In any case, what she had to do had already been done, and no one else could say anything.

After Zhao Yi left the office, only a few people came to the door soon, including Hu Zhibin, Gao Yihua, and several other professors.

When they entered the door, they couldn't help asking, "What's the matter, Dean Wu?"

"Has Zhao Yi agreed to graduate?"

"Have you talked to him about studying for a master's degree? Does he want to stay in school, or study abroad? Or do he want to talk to a certain tutor?"

"..."

Wu Yanping shook her head, "Zhao Yi doesn't want to graduate at all, he said he can learn a lot in class."

"why?"

"how is this possible?"

"What can I learn in an undergraduate-level course?"

Wu Yanping said, "Anyway, I tried my best. Zhao Yi also gave an example. He said that he had just attended Professor Hu's class. What Professor Hu taught was very helpful to his research. By the way, what research is Zhao Yi doing? ?”

One of the biology professors said, "I know, his lab is doing rheumatoid arthritis."

"I'm asking about mathematics!" Wu Yanping twitched the corner of her mouth.

A professor from the Faculty of Science next to him said, "Goldbach conjectures, the project he hung up."

"Goldbach Conjecture?"

"real or fake?"

"I seemed to have heard of it a few years ago."

Hu Zhibin finally spoke, and he said with a puzzled face, "He said the same thing after my class just now. Could it be that what I said is really related to Goldbach's conjecture?"
