Chapter 190 High-end Interview
Lot Dugan is fast.
Although some new content was added, it only took two days to complete proofreading and typesetting, and the special issue was printed on the third day and updated simultaneously on the official website.
There are still differences between the official version of the paper and the original paper. A theorem has been added and three new conjectures have been proposed.
The development of mathematics is actually like this. After mathematicians solve a problem, they will find that there are still a bunch of problems waiting for them. This is the norm in mathematics.
Therefore, the solution of every difficult problem is a landmark event in the history of mathematics.
Specific to the Riemann Hypothesis, its significance is probably its profound impact on prime number distribution, cryptography and modern mathematics.
Especially for mainstream encryption methods such as RSA and ECC. If the distribution law of prime numbers can be further accurately quantified using Qiao Yu's method, it means that there can be a new algorithm for generating prime numbers.
Even though ECC encryption mainly relies on the discrete logarithm problem of elliptic curves, the proof of Riemann's hypothesis can still improve the understanding of the properties of the logarithmic field and affect the way to select safe elliptic curve parameters.
In short, there is no doubt about one thing. When Qiao Yu's method is thoroughly understood, there is a high probability that there will be a new innovation in the computer algorithm world. Produce many new and more efficient algorithms.
Of course, someone may also find a way to crack the various existing encryption algorithms.
This is how science develops, and tools are not good or evil. What is recorded is nothing more than the contribution of mathematicians.
For specific people, everyone has their own ideas. But for the general environment, it is probably just a boost...
There is no way, Qiao Yu is on the hot search again and again! Or various types of hot searches. Then the fire was a mess.
If there is any difference between this time and the hot searches not long ago, it is probably that the official media has directly stopped this time.
Of course, the fate of official media will be different from that of self-media. Not only did the news that started at seven o'clock directly quote the news from Princeton's official website, but he also had the extraordinary ability to directly interview several reviewers and Qiao Yu's mentor Tian Yanzhen.
This also allowed Qiao Yu to solve the Riemann Hypothesis. The news occupied the seven o'clock news longer than last time, for a full two minutes.
The last time Qiao Yu was on the seven o'clock news was because he gave the opening report at the World Congress on Algebraic Geometry.
In that news, the main beneficiary was Xingtie No. 1 Middle School, which was mentioned three times. This time it is naturally Yanbei University and Yanbei International Mathematics Research Center.
The biggest difference between the two same seven o'clock news is that the last news only used a video of Qiao Yu giving a report at the conference. This time Qiao Yu also appeared in the news together with Tian Yanzhen.
Moreover, Qiao Yu was given nearly 40 seconds of footage, more than 20 seconds of which were close-up shots.
No way, this time not only Qiao Yu was mentioned on the seven o'clock news, but he was even mentioned in the regular press conference of the diplomatic unit in charge.
"We have noticed that Qiao Yu, a young Chinese mathematician, has made remarkable achievements in the international mathematics community-successfully solving the Riemann Hypothesis.
This discovery not only marks a great breakthrough in the field of basic mathematics, but also fully demonstrates the potential and wisdom of Chinese youth in global scientific research.
Qiao Yu’s success is inseparable from his own hard work and outstanding talent. It is also inseparable from the emphasis that our country’s education system places on basic subjects and the support from all walks of life for young people’s scientific research.
The Chinese government sincerely congratulates this achievement and hopes that this achievement will inspire more young people to devote themselves to basic scientific research and contribute to the advancement of human civilization. ”
These days, as long as you open various small video software, this specially edited video will be everywhere.
No other reason. Qiao Yuzhen is a mathematician born and raised in China. Nature cannot be promoted enough.
For Qiao Yu, he thought that solving the Riemann Hypothesis meant that he would have a happy summer vacation.
Next, he only needs to handle his computing platform step by step. But apparently, things were not as he thought.
In fact, after proving the Riemann Hypothesis, Qiao Yu suddenly found that he was even busier.
……
The day after the paper was officially released, Qiao Yu received a call from Tian Yanzhen early in the morning.
"Don't go out today. We have an exclusive interview. The program host and team from the main station will be here at about nine o'clock."
"Ah? Today I plan to visit the computer room in Huaqing. Besides, didn't I accept an interview yesterday? Why are you coming here again?"
"Last time it was the seven o'clock news. This time the main station planned a high-end interview, which was a one-on-one interview. What? Are you still not happy? Let me tell you that this high-end interview has previously interviewed political figures from various countries. < br>
The first people in the scientific community who are eligible for exclusive interviews are Nobel Prize winners and world-renowned scientists. The main station is willing to make a special issue for you, so you can enjoy it secretly. I haven't even been on this show yet.
Anyway, you should get up now, dress up, have breakfast and then come to my office. I'll be there around 8:10 at the latest. ”
Okay, no more options.
After the interview yesterday, Tian Yanzhen was still discussing with him whether to give a report at Yanbei University before going to the World Congress of Mathematicians.
In addition to discussing Qiao Yu's paper, we also need to discuss the development direction of mathematics in the era of Qiao Riemann's theorem.
Most of the content requires Qiao Yu to think. Then he was rejected by Qiao Yu.
The reason is that the World Congress of Mathematicians is coming soon. At this time, inviting people to come all the way to China is meaningless. It is better to just go to the conference and talk casually.
Of course, Qiao Yu is not actually thinking about other people. The main reason is that he has been exhausted by the reviewers in the past two months. Now he feels like throwing up when talking about this paper...
If a report meeting is held at Yanbei University in the near future, it means that Tian Yanzhen and Yuan Zhengxin will invite a lot of old people over again, and everyone will gather around him to discuss a lot of issues. Qiao Yu thinks that people will go crazy like that.
The most important thing is that there are already a bunch of invitations in the mailbox. All schools and mathematical institutes across the country that felt that their mathematics majors were acceptable had sent invitations to him to give lectures.
The reason Qiao Yu gave for rejection was that his supervisor said that before accepting invitations from other units to give lectures or seminars, he had to hold the first lecture at Yanbei University.
So if Yanbei University’s report meeting is held, a bunch of invitations will also have to be processed. I can't refuse all such sincere invitations...
Even if Qiao Yu wanted to do this, Tian Yanzhen and Yuan Zhengxin would not agree to it. After all, many units in the country that extended invitations to him were his senior brothers. Many of the units that invited invitations from abroad also had a good relationship with Director Tian and Mr. Yuan.
In short, Qiao Yu felt that the report meeting must not be held before the summer vacation. As long as he does it, it means that his summer vacation is ruined again!
However, Qiao Yu still didn't resist the idea of accepting an exclusive interview. After all, he has experience in this field. He had an exclusive interview with the Evening News when he was in Star City, and he knows all the tricks.
The interviewer will tell him a few preset questions first, so that he has a good idea, and then during the interview, he can answer according to the questions.
Although one is a local newspaper and the other is a main station program, Qiao Yu feels that the process is very different. Director Tian asked him to go there in advance. Most likely, the reporter responsible for the interview had already contacted the instructor and sent him the questions.
But Qiao Yu felt that he didn't need to be afraid of saying the wrong thing. The world has a high tolerance for minors. And he was not yet eighteen years old. He could be exempted from a misdemeanor by saying "He is still a child". If he said two wrong words, no one would care about him.
The only pity is that the underage shield can only be used for another eight months. Every time he thought about this, Qiao Yu felt a sense of loss.
Time flies so fast, in the blink of an eye, he is almost an adult!
But then again, for other mathematicians, they are probably looking forward to Qiao Yu reaching adulthood soon, otherwise he will look like a waste in comparison.
In short, although Tian Yanzhen made a special call to ask him to get up early, Qiao Yu still lazily picked up his phone and took a look.
Yesterday’s WeChat was as lively as ever.
After Princeton’s official website released an official statement confirming that his paper passed the reviewers’ review, his WeChat account has been very busy.
A bunch of people showed up, but it seemed to be particularly lively yesterday, because even the class group of Class 13 kept @ him.
Although this group of people most likely don’t know what the Riemann Hypothesis is, they have all seen the diplomatic spokesperson’s evaluation of him...
Then a group of people started discussing it in the group. The group was full of a series of interactions between them and Qiao Yu when they were in junior high school. "Damn it, I told those idiots in my class that Qiao Yu had written a self-criticism for me back then, but those idiots still didn't believe me! @Qiaoyu, come out and prove it for me!"
"What does it mean to have written a self-criticism? Qiao Yu and I are really close buddies. The leave note I used to skip class was the signature that Qiao Yu helped me imitate my dad's handwriting. Am I proud of it?"
"No, why are you so proud of each other? I still have Qiao Yu's manuscript and his autograph in my hand. You don't have this, right?"
The last message was sent by Zhou Shuang, his former deskmate, and he also included a picture, which was exactly what he wrote casually when he was explaining the topic to Zhou Shuang in the third grade of junior high school. The handwriting was so ugly that Qiao Yu didn't want to admit that it was his manuscript.
Anyway, Qiao Yu looked through the group chat content and was too embarrassed to bubble up in the group.
Sure enough, there was always someone to help him remember all the dark history clearly. Things that he couldn't quite remember, but these classmates in Class 13 still remembered them so well.
Sure enough, these people are not stupid, but their wisdom is not used in the right way. With such a strong memory, even if I memorize it by heart, I can memorize all the example questions from junior high school subjects, and I won't go to vocational school no matter what.
Not only in the group chat, several classmates who added him as friends also chatted with him privately. For example, every weekend.
After repeating his studies for a year, this guy was successfully admitted to the high school division of Xingtie No. 1 Middle School, and even got into an express class.
However, the content of these private messages also made Qiao Yu not sure how to reply.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"Fuck, Qiao Yu, you are so awesome now! Yesterday wasn't Saturday. The head teacher specially sent a notice in the group. Everyone should watch your news clips and the video of you being commented by the diplomatic boss. And then I have to write an 800-word review!”
"I've asked about it for you. It's not just our class that needs to write, but the entire junior high school and high school. But only 500 words are enough for the junior high school. I'm considering selling the manuscript signed by you. You should be able to sell a lot. Please help me prove it later.”
These two WeChat messages reminded Qiao Yu of the conversation he had when the good old man asked him to practice his handwriting in the third grade of junior high school.
At that time, Qiao Yu said confidently that if he was really good in the future, would he still need to care about whether those unrelated people thought his handwriting was good-looking?
Now Qiao Yu feels that he can definitely answer the question about himself two years ago - I care!
To be honest, the words were written so casually, and now I actually feel a little embarrassed.
So Qiao Yu simply pretended not to see it.
Prove that you wrote it? Impossible! Absolutely impossible!
As for the content of other students' private chats, Qiao Yu didn't know how to answer them, and just pretended that he didn't have time to read them!
Fortunately, there is actually no one chatting on WeChat, such as Xia Keke.
But yesterday the two had a direct WeChat video chat and chatted for half an hour.
Changjun Middle School is not as exaggerated as Xingtie No. 1 Middle School, asking them to watch the video and write 800 words of reflections. However, the school also launched an activity of "Learn from Qiao Yu and become young scientists."
According to Xia Keke, this activity was required by the Provincial Department of Education. In other words, all schools in cities, prefectures, districts and counties throughout Shonan Province will probably carry out similar activities in the future.
Well, Qiao Yu was very proud to hear the news from Xia Keke.
What does it mean to be an officially certified child of someone else’s family? There is no doubt that this is it! But it seems like I can show off again today.
As for the others who could chat a few words, there were only three people in the friend group. However, these three guys have been silent in the past two days, and Qiao Yu actually doesn't bother to talk nonsense to them anymore.
After all, he had informed them right after he proved the Riemann Hypothesis, but they didn't believe it and kept asking a lot of questions.
But Qiao Yu felt that he could forgive them.
After all, even the mathematical academicians of the Academy of Sciences felt that it was impossible for him to solve the Riemann Hypothesis. It seemed normal that the three friends felt that he was still a little behind.
So Qiao Yu quickly informed Xia Keke and three friends of the news.
"I'm so annoyed! I was originally going to work on my career today, but Director Tian called me early in the morning to tell me that the main station wanted me to be interviewed for a high-end interview. It was still broadcast on Radio 1.
To be honest, it's nice to be an ordinary person. Once a person has achieved something, time no longer belongs entirely to him. I really envy you. All you need to do is attend class every day, and you don’t have to think about anything else.
It's different for me. I don't think I can go to class, and I have to worry about a lot of things every day. Researching topics, writing papers, and pursuing careers, even my seniors who have graduated have to worry about me! We are obviously the same age, but I have to bear so much! Hey..."
After editing, Qiao Yu first sent the message to Xia Keke. Then I copied it directly and sent it to my friend group.
Xia Keke responded quickly. As expected, high school students have good work and rest habits. Even on Sunday, they got up very early and responded quickly on WeChat.
"Wow, brother, you are so awesome! Now you can appear on the main station's program every day, wouldn't you be able to appear on international radio every day in the future?"
See, it turns out that people who are smart but not so good at math are better-minded and talk nicer than those who like to do math...
He had never heard such heartwarming words from the three guys in his friend group. All I can say is that Coco is a good boy.
"Haha, you are right, but I can't talk to you anymore. I have to get up quickly and go to Director Tian's office."
"Go quickly, don't delay the business. Come on, brother!"
After talking to Xia Keke, Qiao Yu looked at the group of friends again, and sure enough, those three guys were still pretending to be dead.
I would rather shed tears secretly in private than bring him any emotional value. To describe it in one word, scum!
But it doesn’t matter. The silence of the three people can only represent their weakness. Encouragement from Keke’s classmates is enough.
Qiao Yu happily climbed up from the bed and entered the bathroom. After hesitating for a second, he picked up the men's facial cleanser that Keke specially gave him during the New Year and washed his face happily.
The exclusive interview was considered a big deal. After all, it was a high-end program that even Director Tian had never appeared on before, so it was worthy of him dressing up carefully.
After spending five minutes in the bathroom, I went out in perfect condition and went straight to the cafeteria. I happily ate two beef patties with soy milk from the Xueyi cafeteria, and then went straight to Director Tian's office.
Before entering, Qiao Yu glanced at the time. It was stuck just right, exactly 8:13. Okay, it was three minutes late, but Director Tian was already waiting for him in the office.
Seeing Qiao Yu walking in, Director Tian even looked at the time, glared at him, and said, "I asked you to come over at ten past eight."
"Um..."
"Forget it, take a look at this outline. When reporters come later, the questions they will ask will probably revolve around this outline. You should prepare a little first."
After speaking, Tian Yanzhen handed Qiao Yu a piece of printed paper.
Still in such an old-school style, Qiao Yu felt that there was no need to go to such trouble. She could just send him the question directly on WeChat...
Qiao Yu looked at the outline of the questions and roughly understood the format of this interview.
It is obviously different from the kind of interviews in newspapers, and the entire interview process is even divided into seven parts.
Part One: Growth Story;
Part 2: Research Process and Challenges of Riemann Hypothesis;
The third part is the Riemann Hypothesis and the world of ordinary people, allowing the public to understand the value of the Riemann Hypothesis;
Part 4: Youth Role Models and Social Responsibility...There is a sublimation in the end...
Each part is also designed with two to three questions, for a total of 18 questions in seven parts.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, so many questions? How long will this show take to air?"
"Half an hour, but you don't need to worry about this. There will be someone specializing in editing after the interview. Don't talk nonsense later... Forget it, come here, I will teach you how to say some questions!"
"Ah? Director Tian, to tell you the truth, I am the best at interviews, and I will definitely not talk nonsense."
"Haha... If you are good at it, you should listen to me tell you again. This is a program broadcast on the same set! It's not a joke!"
