Chapter 128

Xu Qingzhou took a deep breath and fixed his eyes on the computer screen. From noon until now, he had performed three simulation calculations; the results were fine, and his own derivations on the manuscript were also correct.

At this point, the role of the supercomputer had been fully utilized; for the rest, he needed to use mathematical tools for the next step of calculations! Without wasting time, he took notes, copied the data onto a hard drive, packed his things, and found an empty classroom near the supercomputing center.

The duty station.

Jia Yulin looked up and glanced at the figure hurrying away, "Old Huang, was that Xu Qingzhou who just passed by?"

"Yes, it was him," Huang Mingtai nodded.

"Why are young people always in such a rush?" Jia Yulin shook his head.

"Who knows, these math students are crazier than our computer science students." Huang Mingtai stopped his work, taking a break to chat with his colleague: "Do you know what he's researching?"

"Seems like some conjecture," Jia Yulin wasn't sure.

He didn't notice that in the back row of the classroom were the three girls from last time.

Read! {

However, he was very calm. Many times it's like this; when you actually accomplish something, you aren't as excited or ecstatic as you imagined. This might be the relief after finally succeeding after pouring your heart and soul into it.

rhea: "A problem that has troubled mathematicians for eighty or ninety years; some even say this conjecture is as difficult as the Riemann hypothesis. This boy looks at most like a senior, maybe even a junior like us."

"."

5:00 PM.

"The Cramér conjecture, that's the problem that hasn't been solved for nearly a hundred years."

rhea: "It's this boy again, even more exaggerated than last time. With this serious and anxious expression, if you didn't know better, you'd think aliens were attacking Earth."

【The mathematical Cramér conjecture was proposed by Swedish mathematician Harald Cramér in 1937. As of now, no proof of this conjecture has been recognized by the mathematical community.】

Danzai: "Must be from the School of Mathematics."

As she spoke, rhea sent the screenshot she had searched for into the group.

Watching Xu Qingzhou run in like a madman, they looked at each other, shared a silent understanding, and picked up their phones to discuss in the group.

Looking at the spread-out manuscript paper in front of him, he sighed. His stomach had long been protesting; once he stopped, the weakness from hunger hit his limbs, but his eyes were filled with irrepressible excitement.

His voice was a bit hoarse.

rhea: "I've heard before that people from the School of Mathematics are all crazy, today I've finally seen it. Hey, Xiao Xi, why aren't you saying anything?"

rhea: "He's actually not bad, handsome and refined. But, Xiao Xi, are you sure it's because he's handsome and not because of the kidneys you mentioned last time?"

Ding~ Just as the three girls were typing away, the vibration of a phone sounded.

After chatting in the group for a while, the three girls put down their phones and continued reading and doing problems.

Abstract: This paper deeply explores the laws of prime gaps and breakthroughly provides a complete proof of the Cramér conjecture, that is, (pn+1-pn)/(lnpn)^2=1, n→∞limsup, liminf(pn+1-pn)/(lnpn)^2=0, n→∞ holds true. Xu Qingzhou wrote very seriously, once again forgetting the fatigue brought by his body.

Three months of time, finally figured it out!

"You can't say it like that, having dreams is always good. He already has two SCI papers, and he published them as a freshman. Plus, Professor Gu thinks highly of him."

In the third-to-last row of the classroom, seeing Xu Qingzhou switch to another task but still showing no intention of going to eat, the three girls started gossiping in their small group again, which counted as a halftime break from their review.

The sound of "swish-swish" writing came from the table; complex symbols appeared under the pen tip, and lines of expressions finally converged into a language describing mathematical truth.

Then, the boy put down his phone and returned to his previous state, his fingers dancing rapidly on the keyboard, unaffected by the phone call just now.

Taking a deep breath, Xu Qingzhou calmed his mind and opened a brand-new document on the computer. The problem was solved; the next step was to organize all the results into a paper.

rhea: "Xiao Xi, sisters advise you to choose again. I just took a look at his computer screen; this is what I Baidu'd after seeing it." "Now that you mention it, it really seems so. Freshman year... at this time, I was still thinking about how to pursue a girlfriend."

He succeeded; it would be a lie to say he wasn't happy. That sense of achievement that welled up was fascinating; this might be the charm of mathematics.

It's Xiao Xi: "I'm wondering if I should go buy him something to eat."

Although the whole process was engraved in his brain, the follow-up work was also a major project; he planned to start the paper first.

It's Xiao Xi: "Help, he seems even more handsome!"

rhea: "Yeah, this isn't love, this is obsession. If you two get together, you'll become miserable."

"Yeah, no one said I'm like this every day, Classroom 9201."

Then, they saw the boy in front freeze for a moment, finally pulled back to reality by the phone's vibration, and answered the call.

With both hands on the keyboard, he started typing with a clatter.

Xu Qingzhou didn't feel the passage of time, entering a state of selflessness.

Time passed minute by minute.

The three girls packed their things, preparing to go eat.

"Discussion on the Laws of Prime Gaps and the Proof of the Cramér Conjecture"

!.

Danzai: "I saw the news saying a Fields Medal winner had researched it but gave up."

Xu Qingzhou walked into the classroom in a hurry, laid out his manuscript, and began the final verification.

"Young people, they've fallen into the habit of being naive again."

At 9:30 PM, Xu Qingzhou stopped writing.

At 5:40, the three girls returned to the classroom and found that the boy was still hunched over calculating, his brows furrowing from time to time, as if he had discovered something major.

With a smile on his lips, he tidied up all the manuscripts into a thick stack.

Danzai: "It's already 9:30, isn't he hungry?"

Although Yan Xi joked that she was even more excited, she was indeed much more sober. Perhaps, as her two friends analyzed, such a boy, while quite handsome, might really be a pit.

It's Xiao Xi: "But I think a person like this is very handsome, doing research."

In just three hours, the spread-out manuscript paper was already filled with mathematical formulas.

The three were very surprised, lamenting that this boy was too driven.

The girl with bangs on the left secretly glanced at Xu Qingzhou and typed: "Look at the pile of manuscripts he took out, they're all full of complex mathematical formulas. I think he's quite handsome."

rhea: "Xiao Xi, you wouldn't really have a crush on him, would you? Such a boy is very boring; he definitely loves math more than he loves you."

15 minutes passed.

A burst of footsteps came, appearing particularly distinct in the quiet classroom.

Yan Xi looked up and saw a very beautiful figure slowly walking into the classroom.

Extremely beautiful, so beautiful that one couldn't even feel jealousy in their heart.
