Chapter 145 Almost Becoming a Sinner
In the morning, as soon as he arrived at the library, Xu Qingzhou received a call from Professor Gu Zhizhong. Before he could say anything, the other party had already spoken.
"Come to my office."
"it is good."
After letting Song Yao look at the things, he stood up and walked towards the School of Mathematics. Although Professor Gu Zhizhong did not say what it was about, he had roughly guessed it.
As early as four days ago, he received a message from the editorial department of Mathematical Inventions that the paper had been approved and they would announce this exciting news to the world at the same time as publishing the paper.
Sure enough, when Xu Qingzhou entered the office, before Professor Gu Zhizhong said anything, Meng Bin had already stood up and prepared to pour tea for Xu Qingzhou.
"Senior Brother, I can do it myself." Xu Qingzhou said with a smile.
"No, please let me come."
Meng Bin poured the tea and handed it to Xu Qingzhou respectfully, "Boss, have some tea."
In front of Professor Gu Zhizhong was the latest English edition of the magazine "Mathematical Inventions".
Next to it was a pile of manuscript paper.
Seeing Xu Qingzhou come in, Gu Zhizhong put down the writing in his hand and motioned Xu Qingzhou to sit down first.
Xu Qingzhou asked: "Professor, are you verifying the Cramer conjecture?"
Gu Zhizhong nodded and looked at Xu Qingzhou with a complicated expression: "Xiao Xu, I have been teaching for decades, and it is no exaggeration to say that you are definitely the most mathematically gifted student I have ever seen."
Originally, I thought I would let this kid hit a wall, give up, and concentrate on research, but who knew that he had already figured it out.
When his old friend called him last night, he was confused.
It seems that these old guys are really no longer capable and are not as enterprising as the young people.
Gu Zhizhong was filled with emotion and felt extremely lucky that he and Lao Jiao did not pour too much cold water on him. Otherwise, they would be sinners in the field of number theory.
"There was an element of luck in proving the Cramer conjecture," Xu Qingzhou smiled. He wasn't being completely modest. In scientific research, sometimes a flash of inspiration is very important.
If it weren't for his accidental "epiphany", he might have given up.
Meng Bin was full of admiration, thinking that he was worthy of being the big shot who could come up with Cramer's conjecture. He could remain calm and composed at this time. If it were him, he would have announced his achievement to the world long ago.
In fact, after listening to Professor Gu talk about the weakened version of Cramer's conjecture last time, he, like Junior Brother Xu, really studied Cramer's conjecture carefully, but on the fifth day of contact, he decisively gave up.
There was only one thing in my mind: Holy shit, is this something a human can figure out?!
"Luck is also part of strength." Gu Zhizhong said with a smile. If it weren't for the absolute strength, one wouldn't be able to discover the opportunity even if it was right in front of them.
As he spoke, he pointed to the journal and said:
"It just so happens that you are here. I have to lead the MCM team and time is limited. Can you tell me how to get around this place to p n+1 -pn = (pn/n)^2 = (nlnpn/n)^2 = (lnpn)^2."
Xu Qingzhou took a look and said, "Here, the squares of both sides can be transformed into (lnp n)^2≈(pn /n)^2. Set the difference between pn and the successor prime number p n+1 to 2k, and pn/n)^2 is divergent."
On the side, Meng Bin had already handed over the manuscript paper and pen.
1 hours passed like this.
In the office, Xu Qingzhou and Gu Zhizhong were discussing. Of course, it was mainly Gu Zhizhong who was asking questions and Xu Qingzhou who was talking.
As for Meng Bin, he returned to his seat half an hour ago in a depressed mood to work on the project at hand.
I don't understand~
I almost suspected that I was studying for a fake graduate degree.
At around 10 o'clock, two figures walked in. They were both old acquaintances, Dean Tao Fangqi and Professor Jiao Mingwu.
Tao Fangqi saw Xu Qingzhou sitting there at first sight and said with a smile: "Young people are really promising. Congratulations, Xu Qingzhou, you have solved a world-class problem!"
"You're too kind." Xu Qingzhou smiled modestly.
"See, I told you that if you come to Lao Gu's place, you will definitely see Xiao Xu. Look, I have already calculated it."
Jiao Mingwu looked a little emotional. He originally thought that this guy had given up, but who would have thought that he would directly drop a depth bomb in the field of number theory.
Xu Qingzhou thought of the important matter: "Dean, I have proved the Cramer conjecture. Is there any bonus from the school?" There will be a lot of money to spend in the future when doing experiments.
Gu Zhizhong smiled softly, "I just thought about the bonuses."
"Of course! However, your paper was published in Mathematical Inventions. If we reward you according to the school's paper publishing rules, it would seem stingy. Let's have another meeting to discuss the bonus. You won't be shortchanged."
"Thank you, President Tao." Xu Qingzhou thanked.
"I should thank you. This time, you really made our Beijing University proud!"
Ten minutes later, Xu Qingzhou came out of Professor Gu Zhizhong's office and sent a message to Song Yao, saying that he was waiting for her at the entrance of the library.
At the same time, the physics department.
Ji Yunshi was comparing two plans on his desk.
One is Professor Zhang Feng’s favorite student, Gao Junjie, and the other is a rising star, Xu Qingzhou.
Gao Junjie's experiment is more likely to produce results, and Professor Zhang Feng is in charge of it. Xu Qingzhou's experimental plan is very rigorous, but according to the analysis of other professors, it is difficult to produce results from this experiment, and the difficulty of operation is comparable to that of some professors' experiments.
Hey~
The phone rings.
"Ah."
Ji Yunshi answered the phone, nodded slightly, and his expression gradually became serious, "What?! We didn't expect it either. Don't worry, I will definitely do a good job of publicity in this regard."
Ji Yunshi let out a long breath, his eyes complicated, as if he was digesting some important news.
After a while, he picked up the phone, and after hearing the call was connected, he smiled and said, "Xiao Xu, your project application has been approved. It is currently a key scientific research project of the institute. The specific documents will be sent to you at 10:00 ."
Xu Qingzhou actually proved Cramer's conjecture!
For such a talent, of course we must meet every request. As for the fact that the experiment doesn’t produce much, so what? Just think of it as giving our genius some money to play with!
On the way, Xu Qingzhou and were about to go to dinner when they suddenly received a call from Ji Yunshi.
Song Yao raised her eyebrows and asked, "Has the project application been approved?"
"Yeah." Xu Qingzhou nodded.
Song Yao said, "Please treat me to dinner tonight. I want a big meal."
"Not losing weight anymore?"
"Reduce it after eating."
On the way to dinner with Song Yao, Xu Qingzhou first called Ren Xiaoling to tell her that the project was established, and then sent her a bunch of experimental materials and asked her to take a good look at them.
Girls' dormitory.
"Xiaoxia, our project has been approved!"
Ren Xiaoling clenched her fists excitedly.
"Congratulations."
Although she said this, Ding Yongxia shook her head in her heart, still feeling that it was too embarrassing to work on a project with a freshman.
You’re a freshman, and you haven’t even touched any experimental equipment. How can you come up with anything good?
In January, the weather in Kyoto was extremely cold, especially on a gloomy day like now. The wind felt like needles pricking the skin. Song Yao was wrapped up like a penguin, revealing two big round eyes.
Looking at the rice noodle shop, Xu Qingzhou didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Is this the feast you were talking about?"
"I had a lot of trouble finding this, but I don't know how it tastes compared to the first time we ate there." Song Yao curled her lips and pulled Xu Qingzhou into the store.
