God of black technology

"It's about a number theory problem. After I sort it out in a few days, I'll post it on arXiv. You can take a look at that time." After Wang Yun finished speaking, Rong Lei was stunned and said puzzledly. , "About number theory? Professor, haven't you been doing things about nonlinear partial differential all this time? Why did you suddenly turn to number theory?"

The difference between number theory and nonlinear partial differential is really too big, how can I go to do number theory while doing it.This gave Rong Lei a feeling that the professor wanted to run away.

Of course, he knew that the professor would not run away, but this feeling was really weird.

"You'll know when the time comes." Wang Yun waved his hand after speaking, indicating that Rong Lei could leave.Rong Lei walked out of Wang Yun's dormitory full of doubts. When he left the gate, he was still thinking about what was going on, why the professor suddenly started to study number theory problems, which was very strange.The professor is not that guy Yuan Chengde. If it is said that Yuan Chengde studies number theory problems, Rong Lei will not be surprised.

But you must know that after the professor solved Zhou's conjecture, he has done differential geometry, algebraic geometry, nonlinear partial differential equations, Euclidean space, and Banach space and even M theory, but it seems that the professor has not touched it in these years. However, it is very strange to be interested in number theory now.

Rong Lei almost thought that Wang Yun had become obsessed with something, that's why he suddenly became interested in number theory.

In fact, Wang Yun's solution to the Yang-Mills conjecture has not yet been concluded, and it has always been a hot topic in academia, and there are even many controversies.Especially when extending the Yang-Mills limit equation into the Wang Yun limit equation, this is very controversial.Coupled with Wang Yun's law of comprehensive mathematics and physics, this will change the future state of the entire mathematics and physics community.

Although mathematicians are now more or less dabbled in some common sense about physics, physicists are not necessarily as good at calculations as mathematicians.Otherwise, it is not known how many physicists can win the Fields Medal.

However, the emergence of Wang Yun's law indicates that if you want to understand advanced physics, especially some physics knowledge that requires complex calculations, if you don't have advanced mathematical knowledge, you should just sleep.

It can be said that typical calculations make people progress, and fantasy delays a lifetime.

During this time, Rong Lei checked the knowledge about quantum physics on arXiv. Almost every paper cited Wang Yun-Witten theory and calculated with Wang Yun's law.This means that the H-index of his mentor Wang Yun is almost showing a soaring state. The consequence of this is that he will directly surpass his master Edward Witten and become the physicist with the highest H-index in the 21st century. scientist.

Although there are many debates in the academic circles, there is a unified point of view, that is, the Wang Yun-Witten quantum theory has laid the foundation for a unified field theory.If someone can continue to work hard on this, maybe the physics world can see the dawn of a unified field theory.But the current form is - most people think that no one seems to be able to do this except Wang Yun who can write the Wang Yun-Wei Teng quantum theory.

The reason why a genius is a genius and why he is sought after by people is because he can do things that people can't even imagine.

It's like the greatest physicist of the twentieth century, Einstein, who spent his entire life proposing a unified field theory conjecture.That is a more difficult matter than the theory of relativity. Although decades have passed, the current physics is indeed much ahead of the previous physics, but it is undeniable that most people now absorb the legacy of their predecessors. legacy.There are not many real innovations or breakthroughs, which makes the academic world look very prosperous, but almost all the things that the predecessors have already done are just repeated.

Thinking of this, Rong Lei felt that he was thinking too much.Logically speaking, in fact, he can also be regarded as half a Ph.D. in physics and half a Ph.D. in mathematics.But his research in mathematics is much more proficient than his research in physics.Lu Cheng, for example, was quite familiar with physics before studying for a graduate student and a Ph.D. with Wang Yun.But after Wang Yun studied mathematics and physics here, he was able to handle both mathematics and physics.

Rong Lei thought, if Professor Wang Yun belonged to the gods descending to earth, a person like Lu Cheng must be able to be regarded as a half-immortal no matter what.As for people like Yuan Chengde, he is already a big boss in the immortal class.

Rong Lei was actually a little shivering because he was very familiar with the bosses who followed this circle.

Fortunately, there is another Luo Zhendong who is similar to him.Otherwise, he might doubt his life.

This guy, so far, has not been able to graduate with a Ph.D. On the contrary, Rong Lei has a sense of satisfaction, a feeling of more than enough.

After returning to his dormitory and opening the door, Rong Lei started to have a headache.

God knows, with so much data, he needs to complete the calculations and checks in the previous period within a week, which is simply...depressing.

However, there is no way, he still has to do these things.After all, a professor is a professor. Although he has already graduated with a Ph.D., there is no way to treat him like Wang Yun did to Professor Wei Teng.Although Wang Yun has graduated, when he was at Princeton University, he still respected Professor Weiteng very much.

What's more, now that he is the professor's assistant, if he doesn't do well, he will be yelled at by the professor.God knows how scary the professor is.If he was yelled at by the professor, I'm afraid he wouldn't dare to imagine it—this is simply an unbearable burden in life.

…………

Seeing Rong Lei's departure, Wang Zhenbei couldn't understand the indescribable expression on Rong Lei's colorful face, he muttered, "Your student's expression looks strange. "

"It should be... a little surprised." Wang Yun said with a smile, "I think he thinks that I usually do research that is biased towards physics, but suddenly I am doing pure mathematics research, which makes him a little strange. But, Inspiration has come, there is no way." Wang Yun walked to his room very easily, "I have to prepare my thesis this week, if you are really bored, you can come in and look at the materials about the thesis."

"It's not about secrecy."

"No, you'd better do it yourself." Wang Zhenbei shook his head, what a joke, and asked him to go to Wang Yun's room to see Wang Yun's thesis materials. He was afraid that he had obtained them for too long.Can Wang Yun understand the thesis he is going to write?The answer is obviously not something he can understand, so Wang Yun can only let Wang Yun do it by himself.Not to mention Wang Zhenbei, even Su Chen and Lin Tao next to him didn't have the desire to enter Wang Yun's bedroom. They didn't want to be crushed by numbers one by one.

"Well, if you are really bored, the campus of the University of Science and Technology of China can actually let you do some basic training." Wang Yun said with a smile, "You haven't seen it, but the University of Science and Technology of China is actually quite... big?"

"Yes." Wang Zhenbei nodded and urged, "Hurry up and finish your own business, we will discuss it ourselves."

…………

A week later, Wang Yun finally sorted out his thesis and sent it directly to the email of the editorial department of the Annals of Mathematics after editing.

Then, board arXiv and publish the paper.After turning off the internet, he was ready to take a good rest, and Rong Lei's side should be almost done.He estimated that it would be great for Rong Lei to complete half of the work, as for the rest, let him do it by himself.

Take a day off today, and start happy scientific research tomorrow.

Thinking about it, it really makes people look forward to it.

Wang Yun is indeed looking forward to scientific research, but on arXiv, seeing Wang Yun's published papers, others don't think Wang Yun is currently doing scientific research.At least those foreign experts don't know that Wang Yun is currently doing confidential scientific research.

Not many people have realized it yet. The last time Wang Yun published a paper on arXiv was about quantum physics, but this time the paper published on arXiv turned out to be pure mathematics, which makes people a little confused.It was first discovered that Wang Yun's paper published on arXiv was Yuan Chengde.

He happened to be looking for new papers on arXiv, and when Wang Yun's paper passed the review, he found it immediately.

He opened the paper and read it carefully, pondering as he read it, he thought Wang Yun had long forgotten to study number theory.Unexpectedly, after many years, Wang Yun started to study the problems of number theory again.Could it be that after Wang Yun entered the Math Research Center of Peking University, he has been researching issues about number theory?

With a trace of curiosity, Yuan Chengde started to read from the introduction of the thesis, until the end, he was almost stunned.

This guy... is basically putting forward a new conjecture, and this conjecture Yuan Chengde pondered over carefully, it can be regarded as a very difficult and challenging conjecture.If this conjecture can be solved, it may have a huge and shocking influence on the informatics of the whole world.

However, Yuan Chengde was not the only one who was surprised. Whether it was the mathematics professors from Princeton University, Harvard University, Cambridge University, or even the University of Zurich, they were all very shocked.

The conjecture proposed by Wang Yun is even several times more difficult than the twin prime conjecture solved by Yuan Chengde before.This can be said to be the first very difficult mathematical conjecture since the 21st century.Moreover, it also has a very important relationship with informatics.

"My God, what did I see? This conjecture is really too difficult?" As a professor of mathematics at the University of Zurich, Bobby was so shocked when he saw Wang Yun's paper on arXiv that he didn't know how to express his shocking feeling in words , which is too unbelievable.

He tried to use the sieve method to solve this conjecture, but it didn't take long before the sieve method couldn't solve this conjecture at all.

"What is this guy Wang thinking about?" Bobby frowned and thought for a while. Originally, he just glanced at the arXiv papers before going to bed. There is such a major discovery that can be expected in a few hours. There will be an earthquake in the mathematics world.

As a winner of the Fields Medal, Wang Yun already has the world's top academic reputation in mathematics, and the number theory conjecture he put forward will naturally attract the attention of countless mathematicians, even the professors of informatics. There will be great interest.Originally, number theory and informatics are inseparable, and Wang Yun's conjecture can promote the rapid development of informatics. It is impossible not to attract the attention of those informatics experts.

Yuan Chengde, as a professor of mathematics who has a very good understanding of number theory, after reading Wang Yun's paper, did not rush to solve the conjecture written by Wang Yun, but was thinking about why Wang Yun would come up with such a conjecture.

Just seeing this conjecture, Yuan Chengde can be sure that the difficulty of this conjecture is much greater than all the conjectures he has solved before.It is not easy to solve this conjecture.Be careful, I am afraid it will take a lifetime, as the first extremely difficult conjecture in the 21st century.I am afraid that this conjecture will receive great praise from the IMU side.

After thinking for a while, Yuan Chengde took the draft paper and tried to use the Wang Yun-Yuan Chengde law and the sieve method to solve the problem.

…………

'Dong dong dong' the door was knocked, Wang Yun sat on the sofa, Lin Tao walked to the entrance, opened the door and found Rong Lei and Ma Botao standing outside.

Lin Tao was stunned for a moment, then looked at the two people standing outside the door and said, "Who are you?" Before he said what he wanted to do, Ma Botao walked to the living room first, and couldn't wait to sit on the sofa when he saw Wang Yun and asked, "What are you doing?" Published a paper on arXiv today?"

"That's right." Wang Yun nodded with a smile, "Why, you saw it too? I sent it to the editorial department of the Annual Mathematics by the way."

"Is it a question about number theory?" Ma Botao's eyes were about to stare straight, and Wang Yun gave a soft acknowledgment, "That's right, it's a conjecture about number theory."

"You came up with the conjecture yourself." Ma Botao thought for a while, and then continued, "Or did you come up with it within this week?"

"That's right." Wang Yun rested his chin on his hand, "When I was working on the data, I suddenly came up with some inspiration. I didn't expect to sort out all these things in a week."

"I heard from Rong Lei that there are a lot of debates on your conjecture on arXiv."

"This is normal." Wang Yun stretched his neck and said while holding a water glass, "At least, I have no way to solve this conjecture now."

"You can't untie it either?" Although it didn't sound strange at all, Ma Botao still felt it was weird.For example, Yang-Mills existence and quality gaps are also issues derived from Yang-Mills theory.But neither of these two bigwigs has solved this problem. It seems that Wang Yun has put forward his own number theory conjecture, but he is not capable of solving this problem.

Rong Lei sat next to Ma Botao and thought for a while, then said cautiously, "I used the sieve method to calculate before I came here, but I couldn't solve it at all. No, it should be that I can't use the sieve method at all. I will try After all, there are only a few steps at most, and the sieve method is completely useless."

"Of course, it may also be because I'm not good at learning, but I'm thinking that using the sieve method is definitely not enough." Rong Lei is so serious, it's really the first time other people have seen it.

"The sieve method can't be solved." Wang Yun continued following Rong Lei's words, "At least I have used the sieve method, but I can't solve this problem at all. At least, the sieve method alone is definitely not enough. .”

"But, professor..." Rong Lei raised his head and looked directly at Wang Yun, "I have reached this point using your law." Just as he was speaking, Rong Lei took out a piece of draft paper and put it on the coffee table. "This step is the limit of what I can do so far."

Ma Botao stretched out his neck and looked at it for a while, then turned his head resentfully. As a doctor of fluid mechanics, he is really not very familiar with number theory.Not to mention wanting to understand the problem-solving methods of number theory, especially after adding Wang Yun's law, it made him even more confused.

Not to mention that the other three people couldn't understand it at all, but Wang Yun took the draft paper and looked at it for a while.

First, he said with admiration, "There is nothing wrong with the way of solving the problem, but this level cannot solve the conjecture."

"I don't have any good way to solve this conjecture now." Wang Yun said in a deep voice, "I'm afraid I still have to wait until the completion of this project, and I will declare the conjecture as a subject, and it may be able to use it for a year or two. Time to unravel this conjecture."

"Impossible." Ma Botao looked at Wang Yun in surprise, "I remember that it only took you this long to solve the Yang-Mills conjecture and the NS equation, why did it take so long for the conjecture you came up with yourself? to be unraveled."

"Whether it is the Yang-Mills conjecture or the NS equation, it is based on the basic contributions made by many people, and even saved me a lot of detours, but this conjecture is not the same. No one laid the foundation, I can It’s hard to say if we can’t solve this conjecture.”

After finishing speaking, Wang Yun put down his water glass and looked at Ma Botao, "You don't think that a conjecture can be solved so easily, do you?"

"I'm not sure." Ma Botao said honestly, as a Ph.D. in physics, mathematics must be very good.But when it comes to mathematics research, he is really not as good as a doctor in the mathematics department.In front of him is the big guy who won the Fields Medal, let alone.

"Okay." Wang Yun changed the subject, "Is this what you are here today?"

"Almost." Ma Botao scratched his head and said, "The key point is that I am surprised that when you are studying our subject, you still have spare time to study problems in number theory."

"I still have something to do." Rong Lei looked at Wang Yun and then at the others, "But it seems that it's not easy to talk about here."

Naturally, Wang Yun understood Rong Lei's implication. He stood up and looked at Ma Botao and Lin Tao and said, "Let's go, what are you still doing, go to the laboratory on Science Island."

The group walked to the family courtyard, sat in the car, and went directly to Science Island.

After arriving at the laboratory, Wang Yun sat down and saw Cheng Zhenyuan studying the model, then Rong Lei said, "Professor, I have already calculated the previous data. But according to your calculation method, I think there may still be some discrepancies."

Some discrepancies mean that the improvement effect this time does not look particularly good.

"Really?" Wang Yun had a somewhat surprised expression, he didn't expect Rong Lei to figure it out so quickly.Sure enough, people still need to force it.From this point of view, Rong Lei was able to graduate from Princeton University so quickly because of his true ability.

Rong Lei took out the data and handed it to Wang Yun and Ma Botao.

Wang Yun was looking at the data, and Ma Botao asked aloud, "I don't think there is anything wrong with the data, right? Besides, I think the data should be consistent with the experiment."

"You seem to think that any data can match this experimental plan." Wang Yun said while looking at it, "It seems that there is no problem with the data, but you can use these data to enter the computer and continue the simulation experiment to see what happens. whats the matter."

"Eh..." Ma Botao was stunned for a moment, thinking of the tragedy that might destroy the plane again, he stopped talking for a moment.Now it is much better to have a computer to simulate it. If it is really built by then, the machine will be destroyed and people will die, then the crime will be serious.In order to strive for perfection and surpass the technology of the entire United States, Ma Botao has spent too much effort.Putting down the data in his hand, he looked at Wang Yun and asked, "Then what should we do now?"

"What can I do?" Wang Yun replied without thinking, "Let me continue to see how to improve it, or else it will be built like this, and people will die?"

"That's right." Ma Botao felt a little headache, "But this project has been going on for nearly four years, and no results have been produced. I'm afraid that even if you are behind it, some people will have opinions. .”

"Science is like this." Wang Yun shrugged his shoulders and said, "If you don't talk about it, you will definitely be able to produce results. There are so many things that don't produce results, and no one can say what will happen. Even Einstein I can't guarantee that every experiment will be completely successful, right?"

"You also know that our Huaguo is no better than the United States. It seems to be very rich, but there are many places where money is needed. What's more, many people will have opinions on doing this kind of useless work. If the money is used in In other respects, we may be able to produce some results..." Ma Botao's words were very tactful, and his core idea was that Huaguo seems to be a big money now, but the expenditure is too high, and the annual scientific research fee is only so much .

They haven't been able to produce results for several years, and I'm afraid other scientific research teams can't help but want to tear them apart.

After all, they got some more research funding, which means that other people's research funding will be much less.

If it weren't for Wang Yun's return to China, coupled with the fact that the Fields Medal of Honor and the halo of a quasi-Nobel Prize tycoon are too strong, I am afraid that this plan has been stopped.

"I know what you mean." Wang Yun looked at Ma Botao, "But I still can only tell you that there is no use in rushing this kind of thing. Either stop this plan directly, or just slow down step by step. Come on, it's not that simple to surpass the United States. What's more, the gap between us and them in these researches is not a matter of a star."
