Chapter 178 An almost perfect start to the new semester
Qiao Yu actually hasn’t gotten up yet.
In most cases, Qiao Yu is a very positive person. But holiday syndrome is still terrifying.
Even during this holiday, it was not just about playing. Qiao Xi also assigned Qiao Yu the task of helping Xia Keke make up classes.
But after all, life is different when I have a companion by my side. The immediate effect was that although he took two calls from Lao Xue and his tutor early in the morning, he still lay in bed and didn't want to move.
Of course, this does not mean that Qiao Yu has become lazy...
After all, who can say better about the inspiration of a mathematician? There are times when you suddenly get inspiration while lying in bed.
In short, you cannot say that a mathematician is lazy, not even Qiao Xi.
And if you really want to talk about it, Qiao Yu's brain is really in a state of emptying at this time. He can't sleep or think about it when he gets up. His soul is wandering in the sky, just like meditating, which is very comfortable.
Then the phone rang again, directly pulling him back from this ethereal state.
Qiao Yu picked up the phone and looked at it unhappily, and the dissatisfaction in his heart gradually began to dissipate.
Forget it...it was Mr. Yuan's call after all.
Elderly people should still be respected. Of course, this refers specifically to the kind of old man who is so nice to him that he can’t fault him.
It’s not the kind of person who suddenly falls down on the street and will be blackmailed if a kind person tries to help him...
People always say that the IQ gap between people may be greater than that between humans and dogs, but in fact it is more appropriate to apply this sentence from a moral level.
No, it should be said that the moral gap between people can be greater than that between humans and animals. After all, you can’t just insult a dog as a living creature.
So when answering the phone, Qiao Yu found the sunny and enthusiastic side of his character...
"Grandpa, good morning."
"Qiao Yu "Ah, what are you doing?"
"I'm thinking about a problem, hey, you know mathematics is really difficult!" Qiao Yu answered casually.
"Haha, you think it's difficult, so it must be a difficult question. I'm calling you for two things. The first thing is that Yu Yanjiang's first tranche of funds has arrived, totaling eight million. < br>
How to use this money, you quickly make a plan Give me a rough plan. Forget it, you don’t need to come up with a plan. Just put together what needs to be done on the platform and give it to me. I’ll find professional people here to help you.”
Hear. With these words, Qiao Yu immediately got up from the bed. I don't want to continue lying down at all.
Although this money is not his, it is the capital for his future fortune! It even directly determines what kind of life he will lead when he becomes an adult.
No, it should be said that the efficiency of using this money directly determines how much contribution he can make to the country that raised him.
After all, the competition between major powers has essentially evolved into a technological competition.
This is not only true for moon landing projects, but also for every industry. It can be almost infinitely refined. For example, new materials...
"Okay, I will send it to your email later. But do you need to rent a place to install those servers first?" Qiao Yu asked immediately.
“More than 20 million yuan is just a small computer room, so why rent it? Just pick a place within Huaqing. The rent is enough. After all, it is for scientific research services.
Qiao Xi is a student at Huaqing, so no one can say anything. Just write down your requirements in as much detail as possible. Professor Zhang Shuwen just called me.
He said that there is a professor at Princeton who studies the Selberg conjecture who wants to cooperate with you. I sent you several emails, but you didn’t reply. Professor Zhang asked me to ask if you are interested. ”
After hearing these words, Qiao Yu knew that Director Tian must not have told Mr. Yuan about his recent research plan.
Although it cannot be said that solving the Riemann Hypothesis is the same as solving it. After all, the Riemann Hypothesis only targets the non-trivial zero distribution of the ζ function.
But. There is no doubt that if Yuan Zhengxin knew that he had the possibility of overcoming the Riemann Hypothesis, he would definitely reject this cooperation invitation directly for him.
"I don't have time, grandpa, to tell you the truth, I have been recently. There are two priorities for our work. One is to build our platform as soon as possible. After all, we agreed to Chief Engineer Yu.
The other is to prove the Riemann Hypothesis. I forgot to tell you that after careful consideration and thinking during my winter vacation, I plan to shift the main focus of the next stage of mathematical research to proving the Riemann Hypothesis!
After all, you also said that you still hope that I can focus on mathematics and not waste my talent. I think there is nothing better than proving the Riemann Hypothesis to fulfill your request of me!
Although this proposition is difficult and the challenge is great, I feel that for your sake, I must solve this problem. If I can succeed, you'll be able to say that when you go out. "
As he spoke, Qiao Yu didn't wait for the other person's reaction at all. He coughed twice and imitated Yuan Zhengxin's speaking style.
"Knowing that the teacher suggested that my doctor do the Riemann Hypothesis, why? Did I say no? Because I know that my disciple can make this proposition, I have to leave the opportunity to him! What do you think? ”
...
In Qiuzhai's office, hearing Qiao Yu's funny voice, Yuan Zhengxin didn't react for a while.
He had discussed it with Tian Yanzhen before. Both of them felt that with Qiao Yu's ability and his interest in number theory problems, especially prime number problems, he might be able to solve the Riemann Hypothesis in the future.
But both of them felt that there was no need to rush this issue. You can wait until Qiao Yu is studying for a Ph.D. before confirming your ideas with Qiao Yu.
As a result, Qiao Yu suddenly decided to do the Riemann Hypothesis again. Why does this little guy always do it in bursts?
Now when the whole world is waiting for him to continue to work on the generalized modal axiom system, he is going to do the Riemann Hypothesis?
Just like when he solved the geometric Langlands conjecture, everyone thought that Qiao Yu should continue to delve into this field in the future, but Qiao Yu came up with a generalized modal axiom system.
Playing cards completely unconventionally, playing whatever you want. Every time Yuan Zhengxin felt that he should wait until Qiao Yu crashed before talking to him about the importance of focusing on one thing.
People of his age know better what it means to teach others but not others, and to teach things once and for all.
But Qiao Yu has never encountered this kind of Waterloo so far, and everything goes smoothly every time. I hit wherever I pointed, and I succeeded every time.
So when Qiao Yu said that he was going to solve the Riemann Hypothesis, Yuan Zhengxin was no longer thinking about waiting for this guy to hit the south wall, but what if Qiao Yu really solved the Riemann Hypothesis?
In other words, how to help Qiao Yu maximize his interests on this issue.
So the old man ignored his funny words and asked seriously: "Are you really planning to study the Riemann Hypothesis?"
"It's necessary! Just to realize your old idea. I hope I can make a contribution on this issue too!”
Well, the child answered resolutely and could hear his firm attitude over the phone, which is good!
To do mathematics, you must first have confidence! If you don’t even have the confidence that you will succeed, then no matter what topic you choose, it will be difficult to succeed!
Yuan Zhengxin nodded slightly subconsciously, "Are you ready to not have any gains for a long time?"
"No, grandpa, how much do you look down on me? Change it. Change it to how long you plan to surprise me."
"Okay. , I'm not kidding you. Now that you have decided to do this subject, then apply for another national foundation. Tian Yanzhen taught you how to apply last time, so I won't worry about it. Just download the files yourself. Fill it out and submit it just like last time.”
Yuan Zhengxin gave the suggestion directly.
"Ah? Well...Grandpa, should the topic of the project application just be to prove the Riemann Hypothesis?"
"Otherwise? Since you have chosen this proposition, you must write it generously! How to study it? Is the Riemann Hypothesis so shameful?" Yuan Zhengxin asked.
"No... I mean, is it really possible to pass this test directly when applying for a national foundation?"
Qiao Yu's suspicion is justified.
The Riemann Hypothesis is certainly eligible as an application project for the National Foundation. However, the most basic application requirements for Guoji are specific and feasible research goals, and the ability to achieve phased results within the project period.
At the same time, there need to be scientific questions that can be evaluated within the project research. Directly taking proving the Riemann Hypothesis as the project goal seems too high-profile. The difficulty of this thing is there.
And it is difficult to say that operable phased results can be produced within the project period, and it is also difficult for experts to evaluate the progress of the project.
Although Qiao Yu is very confident in himself, this does not mean that everyone is confident that he can challenge this proposition.
If you really want to apply for a national foundation, it is better to make a fuss about the generalized modal axiom system. You will definitely pass it in seconds.
Yuan Zhengxin also directly answered Qiao Yu's question: "If others apply like this, they will definitely not be able to pass. But if it is you, it is still possible to pass.
But I don't actually want you to pass the review. For others, a project being stuck is definitely a bad thing. But if you can really do it, being stuck might actually be a good thing.
Anyway, just do as I say and submit an application directly. As for whether it has been approved, you don’t need to worry. It’s okay to apply but leave a record there. "
"Okay, I'll finish the application later and send it to you or to Director Tian? ”
“Just send it to me! I'll fill it all out today. "
"Okay, grandpa, I will fill it out later and send you an email with the platform's functional requirements at noon. ”
"Okay."...
After hanging up the phone, Qiao Yu had to get up from the bed.
It’s time to start working.
Although he still doesn’t know what Mr. Yuan’s thoughts are. But since the old man would definitely not harm him, he naturally had to do as he was told.
Filling out the application doesn't take much time anyway. Even if it can make the old man happy, it would be good.
When he walked out of the bedroom, Qiao Yu saw the diligent Qiao Xi sitting in the living room studying questions. Hearing the noise, he turned to glance at him and said casually: "Are you finally willing to get up?"
"Actually, I have been lying in bed just now thinking about a very difficult mathematical problem." Qiao Yu said seriously explained.
Then without waiting for Qiao Xi to refute him, he walked into the toilet and started washing up. This also proves once again that no one can beat him in the areas he is good at. This is how people's confidence is built up little by little.
After a simple wash, Qiao Yu went back to the bedroom and used his laptop to start downloading documents from the official website and then filling them out.
The application process for 2026 has not yet begun. But it doesn’t matter. This kind of filling in information that is not aimed at successful application actually does not require too much thinking at all.
Just follow the template that Director Tian taught him before and fill it out.
Read the error-free version at 69 Book Bar! 6=9+Book_Bar debuts this novel.
Don’t tell me, don’t tell me, Qiao Yu really felt proud when he filled in a few words to prove the Riemann Hypothesis in the topic section of the project book.
No matter whether this application can be passed or not, if you dare to write this application, you have surpassed 99% of math people.
I didn’t plan to get the application approved, so I felt more casual when filling in the team members. Everyone who can make a contribution is included. To be honest, it has no practical significance, but it can help the rest of the team get familiar with it.
For example, Xue Song.
If you are not a mathematician who specializes in elementary number theory or even Diophantus, you may not have heard of this name.
But being able to show up on this kind of application materials can leave some impression on the review expert team, and it is also very positive.
This Xue Song has appeared in the team where Qiao Yu applied for the project before. I didn't review it for Qiao Yu last time, but the project was really successful. This Xue Song should not be underestimated.
Then the next time Xue Song applies for a project, maybe seeing this name will bring back some memories, and then he will pass it on...
Of course, this effect may also be the opposite.
However, in Qiao Yu's view, Lao Xue is now backed by Yanbei University, so even the reverse influence can be minimized.
After all, my mentor is not someone to be bullied. But what if there is a positive impact? Qiao Xi feels the same way...
Anyway, let’s talk about whether it works or not. Let’s get familiar with it first.
As for Senior Brother Chen, there is no need.
Recently, Senior Brother Chen has become one of the most popular people in the academic world. No further exposure is needed at all.
After all, his paper was published in the "Annals of Mathematics" of Princeton Press at the same time as Qiao Yu. After people read Qiao Yu's proof, they will definitely click in to see some auxiliary verification processes.
So Qiao Yu directly kicked Chen Zhuoyang out of the Riemann Hypothesis research team - let this guy show off his affection...
As for the performance required to provide a mathematical calculation platform for the majority of laboratories , is something that has been prepared for a long time.
After spending an hour and a half filling out the national foundation project application form carefully and perfunctorily, Qiao Yu sent it to Mr. Yuan along with the requirements.
The old man also replied to him on WeChat with "I got it", which was so thoughtful!
……
Using the Gregorian calendar as the reference standard, on the days after the Lunar New Year, school often starts earlier than usual. The same is true for Yanbei University.
School starts directly on February 27th, the eleventh day of the lunar calendar.
If the Spring Festival falls in January, you can often celebrate the Lantern Festival at home and then end the winter vacation. Of course there is nothing we can do about it.
After all, the teaching content and quality requirements are there every year. And summer vacation is based on the Gregorian calendar. It can't be too late.
If the start of school is delayed until March, the teaching tasks will be tight.
For the students in the elite class, it has officially entered the second semester of study.
As usual, Qiao Yu applied for early exams for several subjects at the beginning of the semester. In addition to professional courses, I also applied for several general courses this time, such as college physics, college English, college Chinese, ideological and political courses, etc...
I've memorized almost everything I need to memorize. Anyway, these courses don't require high scores. It's enough to get credits.
High grade points or high ratings may be very useful to other students. After all, if you want to apply to a prestigious foreign school after graduating from undergraduate degree, you need a beautiful transcript.
But Qiao Yu has passed the stage of needing this kind of test scores to prove himself. Not to mention that he had never thought about studying abroad. Even if he really wanted to study abroad, no one would care about his transcript.
Famous people have privileges after all. It seems unfair, but it is actually the biggest injustice in the world.
It is the greatest unfairness to let ordinary people compete with geniuses like Qiao Yu. For example, after Qiao Yu participated in last year's IMO, this year's IMO organizing committee announced a new rule on the official website.
"After passing the preliminary examination and review, students in mathematics competitions from various countries who win awards at world-renowned conferences or have papers published in leading SCI journals should not participate in the competition in principle. Those who must participate will not be included in the team's total score. ”
Obviously this rule is unfair to the next genius like Qiao Yu, but most people think it is fair.
No way, for many players who participated in IMO last year, the damage caused by Qiao Yu is irreparable. Forget it if you fail the competition, even if you are crushed in the game, who the hell can bear it?
For the organizing committee, making such an announcement can be regarded as an explanation to other participating countries.
We didn’t think about it before, so someone took advantage of the loophole. Now we thought about it and patched it immediately.
In short, the exam specially arranged for Qiao Yu started and ended quietly just like last semester.
The results were not announced to the public, but Qiao Yu only felt that he was very satisfied with the results. Although the results of some courses could only be described as unsatisfactory, he got all the credits that should be taken.
No one is perfect, and he cannot be required to engage in scientific research while also getting high marks in general courses. After all, he didn't even attend a few classes.
Not to mention that two days before the exam, he went to the Institute of Computing Technology and gave a lecture to a group of researchers there!
In addition to the exam, his complex computing platform project is also going smoothly. Facts have proved that as long as the money comes in, construction is really powerful.
The school’s knowledgeable teachers directly approached a well-known domestic provider of complete solutions.
After confirming the location of the computer room and paying the deposit, three engineers were sent directly to survey the site and come up with a design plan. After the equipment arrived, they were on duty 24 hours a day to install and debug the equipment...
Really, if Qiao Yu didn't catch a cold, this would have been the perfect start to the new semester.
But there is no way, illness is not something that depends on human will. The good news is that Qiao Xi is not the only one worried this time, or it is not Qiao Xi's turn to worry.
Qiao Yu just got up late, and Lao Xue happened to come to the door with a problem. He found that Qiao Yu had a fever and immediately reported the situation to Tian Yanzhen.
Although Qiao Yu repeatedly said that he might just have a common cold. Most likely, he went out to throw out the garbage last night and wanted to buy something to eat. He was too lazy to run to the third floor, so he just caught a cold. All he needed was a good night's sleep. .
But obviously, his explanation was of no use. Anyway, in a daze, the instructor called a car and took me directly to the school hospital, where he underwent a full-body examination.
It wasn't until he was sure that there was nothing serious wrong with his body, just a common bacterial cold, that he felt relieved and sent Qiao Yu directly to Qiao Xi of Huaqing with a bunch of medicines prescribed by the doctor.
There is no way, the child needs to be taken care of, but there is only one room in Yanbei, and there happens to be two bedrooms and one living room in Huaqing.
The direct effect is probably that Qiao Yu doesn’t have to pretend to be strong this time. After all, his biological mother not only didn’t feel sorry for him this time, she even disliked him...
"I was studying hard, and when I was called back to take care of you, I thought you were seriously ill! You only had a small cold after a long time? Are you so fragile?"
"Do you think I thought that? I I told Director Tian, but Director Tian was worried. What can I do? The hospital took several tubes of blood and took a brain CT scan. "
Qiao Yu shouted angrily, Then she was ignored gorgeously by Qiao Xi.
"Fragility is vulnerability, and there is nothing to be ashamed of admitting. Just stay in bed these days, be good."
