Chapter 238

My hands really do have a mind of their own!

His movements were faster than his brain; the moment he sat down, he subconsciously grabbed her fair, long legs.

Well, the explanation was in vain.

Xu Qingzhou sighed, but when it came to thick-skinned behavior, he considered himself no slouch. Facing Song Yao's angry gaze, he didn't flinch at all, his claws gently brushing over her calves, causing her to move restlessly twice.

Moreover, besides having washed them, she seemed to have applied body lotion or something similar to her legs; they were smooth and tender, feeling very comfortable to touch.

Xu Qingzhou touched them for a while, and once satisfied, he said leisurely, "Actually, you don't have to go wash your feet specifically. It makes... it makes me look like a pervert, just craving these two legs of yours."

He had one more thing he didn't say: besides your legs, I crave other things too, like your little bears, for instance.

This sentence was swallowed back down his throat to avoid being kicked off by Song Yao.

"You're paying attention to this too?"

Read! {

Teng Xiaojuan and the others often discussed these things in the dormitory. Although she didn't participate, she was influenced by it.

Just looking at the headline, one could tell it was very promising.

Two days later, an article appeared titled, "Top Physicist Says: Inspiration Comes from This."

"It's good to have pressure."

On the other end of the phone, Professor Gu paused before asking, "You said last time you wanted to try the Polignac conjecture; how is the progress?"

5 minutes passed.

Mathematics, after all, is sometimes really like a long-distance run.

"Ahem~ It's not like I can't touch them."

And there was also the part about how, ever since learning to read, he often looked for them, quickly finishing the elementary textbooks left by relatives—the content was profound and thought-provoking.

"In mid-August, there will be a CMS experiment held there. The Institute of High Energy Physics of the Academy of Sciences and our Jingda will both participate. Old Ji and I pondered it a while ago and felt this is a good training opportunity, so we want you to go with the research group."

Although Gu Zhizhong wasn't very willing for Xu Qingzhou to do physics, feeling it would distract his energy, since the kid had already chosen it, he could only support him and try his best to fight for training opportunities.

Sure enough, it was much more than when he was researching the Twin Prime Theorem.

Xu Qingzhou secretly thought it was a close call. He came up with a solution for Song Yao and said, "You can let me touch them after you take a shower; that way it won't seem so perverted."

"I knew it." On the phone, Professor Gu said slowly, "Currently, there are three places closest to harvesting the proof of the Polignac conjecture."

Song Yao blushed and looked away, not daring to look at Xu Qingzhou: "Then let's not do it in the future."

【April 4, 2015, "Mathematical Invention" received a letter titled】

"Thank you, Professor. I will cherish this opportunity."

Xu Qingzhou was surprised, remembering that Professor Gu mainly researched limit theory.

Professor Gu said, "You kid producing more results is the best thanks you can give me."

"Quantitative Description of Uncertainty and the Twin Prime Theorem"

In the photo is an ordinary person—this person seems like an idiot.

Song Yao thought about it, and it seemed to be the case.

In the paper, they first introduced the Mertens constant by calculating the sum of the reciprocals of primes, and then obtained a more precise expression for the Mertens constant by applying number theory techniques to the Euler product of the zeta function... This is indeed a good way to study the distribution of primes.

However, he still discovered that it would have been better not to explain; once he did, the look Song Yao gave him became even more complicated. Twisting the hem of her clothes, she tentatively asked, "You like the original flavor?"

Regarding such photos, the difference in how netizens treat ordinary people versus scientists emerges.

He clicked into the article without hesitation.

However, with the Twin Prime Theorem out, the Polignac conjecture will definitely enter everyone's field of vision and receive more attention.

And among the useful papers, he focused on reading one titled "Mertens Theorem and Prime Number Theorem."

Heh, all in all, this guy is a pervert, and a shameless big pervert at that! The next day, the school beauty Song went to class, while Xu Qingzhou went straight to the Jingda library; the tasks from the research institute had already been assigned.

ITER was first initiated by the US, the Soviet Union, Europe, and Japan. Xia Nation participated in 2006, but in the coming decades, due to various factors, Xia Nation was subject to many restrictions and was even almost kicked out.

There was no help for it; before Xu Qingzhou solved the twin primes, even the weakened form of this Polignac conjecture, i. e., the k=1 case, hadn't been proven, so naturally, not many people were researching the harder forms.

Damn, ran the wrong way! Besides, in academia, everything is based on strength. If the other party can really prove it ahead of time, he wouldn't mind giving a thumbs up and saying: You guys are really awesome.

For example, there was one time he went to the restaurant to eat.

Xu Qingzhou was quite moved; Professor Gu really treated him as his own student.

"."

Ho, interesting.

Professor Gu laughed and scolded, paused slightly, and then said with a bit of emotion: "Thanks to you, a craze for researching the Polignac conjecture has been set off in the mathematical community."

Opportunities like this one, participating in the Large Hadron Collider experiment to explore the mysteries of the microscopic world, are rare.

Nuclear fusion... As Xu Qingzhou fell into the process of recollection, Professor Gu spoke on the phone:

"Otherwise what? You kid are busy with things at the Physics Academy every day; I have to help you keep an eye on the situation at home and abroad."

The Twin Prime Conjecture was proven. At first glance, as long as one takes a small step forward, one can successfully pluck this crown; it really feels like it's within reach.

【I. Prodigy's Early Wisdom

Besides the LHC, there are many international cooperative organizations, such as the International Space Station (ISS), Global Change Observation Mission (G), etc.

"Just started." Xu Qingzhou admitted honestly. The Polignac conjecture is much harder than the Twin Prime Theorem. He is currently in the stage of collecting data and thinking about the direction; he doesn't have any concrete ideas yet.

He couldn't keep using Professor Gu's face to mooch off equipment; it wouldn't be justified.

And the largest among them belongs to the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER).

The CMS experiment is a large general-purpose particle detector experiment on the Large Hadron Collider. The purpose of the experiment is to search for new particles, precisely measure particle properties, and explore heavy-ion collision physics.

Xu Qingzhou finished reading, and in his heart, there was only one sentence: This flavor is just right! When did he ever say that when he was reading "Ten Thousand Whys," he saw the Goldbach-Polignac conjecture and Fermat's Last Theorem in it?

Why say this flavor is right? No help for it; in his previous life, he had seen this type of article countless times.

At the end of the article, Professor Yaji expressed very optimistically that they were continuing to push forward, and if lucky, everyone might hear the good news that the Polignac conjecture had been solved within a year. "So fast?" Xu Qingzhou was surprised. He had originally thought it would take at least a month or two; he didn't expect it to come down in just over ten days.

Song Yao turned her head, her eyes slightly widened as she stared at Xu Qingzhou, her fists clenched tight.

"Large Hadron Collider." Xu Qingzhou raised an eyebrow, not expecting Professor Gu to mention things in the field of physics.

"I mean, if taking touching legs as a necessary process, you go wash your feet specifically when you get home, and then let me play with them—pfft, I mean touch them—that would be very strange and perverted."

In the picture, he is sitting straight.

So perverted!

Knowing that these boys might have relatively strange hobbies.

Xu Qingzhou said: "Don't worry, I have already started preparing."

In the photo is a scientist—the contemplation of a wise man.

Professor Gu said on the other end of the phone: "Little Xu, your Thousand Talents Plan application has passed."

Professor Gu said with a chuckle: "With so many of us old guys recommending you jointly, the higher-ups have to give some face. Besides, you have so many achievements laid out there; if they blocked you because of your age, it would be disheartening."

10 minutes later, Xu Qingzhou's gaze darkened, lingering on a paper in a core journal—Xu Qingzhou: The Legendary Life of Searching for Twin Primes.

What Xu Qingzhou wanted to talk about most was still this project.

Professor Gu: "Also, you know the LHC, right?"

!.

The one he met at Cambridge, the teacher of that Indian guy who said he wanted to prove the Twin Prime Conjecture, from the Institute of Advanced Mathematics at the Imperial College of India.

Xu Qingzhou was born in 1996, his parents were both grassroots workers,.】

Damn it.

"Correction of the Upper Bound of the Twin Prime Theorem"

【Abstract: Young mathematician Xu Qingzhou is recognized as one of the most legendary mathematicians. Xu Qingzhou was born in Rongcheng and is currently studying at the Jingda School of Mathematical Sciences... Examining such a young scholar with a rich experience and independent spirit helps reveal the subtle relationship between the system, society, and science.】

According to the original plan, he needed to finish the subsequent calculations within 8 days, but Xu Qingzhou was fast, and he finished the part he was responsible for by Wednesday noon.

At 3 PM, just as Xu Qingzhou was calculating, he received a call from Professor Gu. He walked out of the library with his phone to return the call.

Xu Qingzhou's pen tip tapped lightly; he felt it was very interesting and planned to continue calculating in the direction of this paper.

Professor Gu said "Mm," and continued: "Our math research funding has always been relatively low, but there is still some. I suggest you can set up a project yourself; this way, whether applying to use the school's equipment or applying for other assistance, it will be more convenient."

Now it was Xu Qingzhou's turn to be stunned: "What have you been reading normally?!"

On Thursday, Xu Qingzhou opened the library's database to re-search for the latest papers on the Polignac conjecture.

Although there was no concrete train of thought, the process of proving the Polignac conjecture involved large-scale prime number screening, which would at least use the school's supercomputing center.

Almost dug a big hole for himself.

Compared to the Twin Prime Theorem, the information regarding the Polignac conjecture was pitifully scarce.

Xu Qingzhou suppressed the memories, closed the article that was giving him a headache, and continued to check the information.

In this life, he could actually study it properly.

For the next few days, he put his main energy into the Polignac conjecture.

"The pressure suddenly increased." Xu Qingzhou clicked his tongue, looked around, planning to find a cool place, and finally stopped in front of the tree at the library entrance.

He had once been interested in the field of particle physics, but unfortunately, due to lack of energy, it was just a superficial attempt.

The Polignac conjecture is the finish line, and the process of the competition is the process of proving the Polignac conjecture. Sometimes you feel you have already seen the finish line, but when you take another step forward, you might suddenly discover...

If it weren't for the fact that he was the person himself, he might have even taken this "Xu Qingzhou" as an idol.

As for being scooped on the proof or something, he wasn't worried.

The honor and pride brought by proving a mathematical conjecture are self-evident to mathematicians.

Nuclear fusion research has always been a hot topic; this thing is one of the leading forms of human future energy.

"The James Institute of Mathematics at the University of California, Berkeley, Professor Raffaella Patel in Germany, and the Institute of Advanced Mathematics at the Indian Institute of Technology."

Half an hour passed, and Xu Qingzhou did see many familiar mathematicians' names; some had supplements and improvements to his proof paper, and some had research on the Polignac conjecture. Unfortunately, none were deep; the research direction could only be considered an extension of the Twin Prime Theorem, and there weren't many papers with reference value at all.

He was really just spacing out at that time!

The content of the article at the time: He kept staring at the iron chain in the restaurant, feeling that this thing was homologous to the two photons of quantum entanglement; one end of the chain moved, and the other end would be affected in the same way.

"Hoo~"

Song Yao pursed her lips and didn't speak. Jiahui had indeed sent her some strange little knowledge, but many were self-taught.

The author of this paper was an old acquaintance of Xu Qingzhou, Professor Yaji.

Professor Gu said earnestly: "Although you proved the Twin Prime Conjecture and are ahead of most people in the field of prime numbers, you still cannot slack off."

"I have this plan too." Xu Qingzhou nodded. Establishing a project with the status of a "Four Youth" talent could at least gain support at the national level.

"."

"Sorry to trouble you, Professor Gu." Xu Qingzhou nodded in thanks.

"Definitely, definitely." Xu Qingzhou agreed with a smile.

A year ago, her motto was still "I won't fall in love before graduating from university," and now it had become actively washing her feet for Xu Qingzhou to touch.

"Words like 'thank you' can be spared. You kid, pay attention to balancing your study of math and physics; don't let math fall behind."

"Hehe, absolutely not."

"Alright, that's all for now; the old man still has things to do."

"Goodbye, Professor."
