Chapter 257: Has this guy hacked the system?

~8 min read 1,453 words

The office fell silent.

Academician Yang had experienced many things over the better part of his life and could generally remain unflappable, but at this moment, a look of astonishment still subconsciously appeared on his face. It took him a long time to react: "You finished it?"

"Yes."

"You finished all three problems?"

Xu Qingzhou nodded again and handed over the draft paper.

These three problems were not considered difficult; he had basically found the answers in his mind at a glance. The reason it took 20 minutes was simply to write out the process.

Academician Yang stared at the draft paper and examined it carefully.

Zhang Changqing's expression was strange as he glanced at the time. Whoa, it had only been 20 minutes. Was this Xu Xu Shidi Xu messing around? But the teacher's expression was very serious.

"Of course, being able to launch the satellite ahead of schedule is largely due to Xiao Xu's contribution; he helped us solve quite a few critical problems."

Read! {

Academician Yang smiled gently, handed Xu Qingzhou a USB drive, and said, "This contains the experimental data regarding CMS. Take it back and study it well, but I can give you a briefing first."

Academician Yang's gaze swept quickly over the draft paper.

"I won't concern myself with the quantum mechanics and field theory aspects. For this month, I suggest you read *Introduction to Particle Physics* and *Particle Detectors and Data Acquisition*, especially the latter."

Zhang Yitang used the decomposition method to solve this problem. In other words, Professor Stewart did not find a suitable or correct method.

Xu Qingzhou replied, "Yes, he wanted me to go out and see more of the world."

At the entrance of the research institute, Deng Ziyi was gnawing on a steamed bun. Seeing Xu Qingzhou, she waved to greet him.

When heta is small, this formula holds true; when heta=1/2, this formula holds true. But when heta takes the value of 1, this formula is incorrect.

"Xiao Xu."

"This time, the focus is mainly on investigating the Higgs particle confirmed in 2013, including its mass, spin, coupling strength, and so on. We depart on August 10th. If the process goes smoothly, it should be finished in about a month."

The first problem was answered perfectly.

Deng Ziyi exclaimed in admiration, "Amazing, truly worthy of being the 'strongest intern' since our institute was founded."

"Alright, thank you, Professor." Xu Qingzhou nodded in thanks.

After greeting his acquaintances, seeing that he still had some time, Xu Qingzhou took the Polignac's conjecture materials out of his bag and began to read slowly.

"In other words, we can set off fireworks for the people of the whole country ahead of schedule."

"."

Xu Qingzhou was not surprised; the development of the Mozi satellite was already in its final stages, and the subsequent work was basically conducting actual tests. Moreover, his nearly hundred-page paper still had some substance to it.

Everyone reported their respective situations, and finally, they handed it over to Senior Brother Qi and the others, with Xu Qingzhou helping with the calculations.

Regarding this news, Xu Qingzhou just gave a faint smile. Such things were normal in academia. A proof is generally composed of a series of key points, and these points are built upon other points. If even one point has a problem, it is very likely that the entire paper is wrong.

Zhang Changqing's mouth twitched. Could a person really be this heaven-defying? Good at math, good at quantum physics, and also good at particle physics?!

"It went quite smoothly." Xu Qingzhou nodded. He had studied this stuff countless times before and was very proficient at it, so he didn't waste much time.

Leaving the Institute of High Energy Physics, Xu Qingzhou headed straight home. The library had been packed lately, so he and Song Yao were both reading at home.

"Good morning." Xu Qingzhou smiled. He didn't know why, but he always felt this Senior Sister had rounded out a bit since he first met her.

Things were going quite smoothly on his end; the calculation drafts and materials on the table were increasing daily, already numbering over a hundred sheets.

Has this guy hacked the system? He had tried these three problems himself at the beginning and spent nearly 30 minutes on them.

The meeting began.

Deng Ziyi felt helpless. Over the past few months, she had gained a full 8 jin. When the pressure was high, she would go eat a meal, and after finishing work in the middle of the night, she would have to go eat another one... "Xu Xu Shidi, I remember you are responsible for the decoding algorithm content, right? Is it going smoothly?" "It's just an interest, I haven't delved too deep." Xu Qingzhou smiled.

But he was a third-year doctoral student now and was graduating soon.

!.

The third problem... After a long while, Academician Yang let out a breath and said slowly, "All correct."

Although he hadn't seen the full text of the paper, Xu Qingzhou basically understood where the problem lay. Professor Stewart was likely using the GPY sieve method as well, because Zhang Yitang's paper on the twin prime conjecture had also encountered this kind of problem.

"Xu Xu Shidi, I feel like you are being humble-braggy."

Applause erupted in the conference room.

"I just helped out a little bit."

July 1st, early morning. Song Yao was reviewing at home, while Xu Qingzhou took the subway to the Quantum Institute again.

"Also, your materials for going abroad are being processed. You need to confirm the visa aspect; don't wait until you're about to leave to find out it's expired."

Therefore, he couldn't be called schadenfreude; he was just focused on his own deductions.

Xu Qingzhou smiled modestly and added, "I only made a negligible contribution. The current success is the result of everyone's joint efforts."

Academician Yang looked at the last problem again and said with some amazement, "Not only is it all correct, but the solution is also very brilliant. Xiao Xu, it seems you have really put in hard work in the field of particle physics."

The Higgs particle, or Higgs boson, is an important particle predicted by the Standard Model of particle physics and has also been an important research topic in the field of physics for a long time.

Speaking to the end, Academician Yang smiled and reminded him.

"First, I will announce a piece of news: the experiment we originally scheduled for November can be completed in September. At the same time, the satellite launch time has also been adjusted, moving forward by five months."

Professor Chang nodded slightly, his expression filled with emotion. They had originally brought Xu Qingzhou over thinking they would let the young man get some good training, but it turned out he didn't need it at all.

Deng Ziyi: I've already grown tired of saying the word "envy."

"Xu Xu Shidi."

Zhang Changqing's expression became even more complex. Although this Xu Xu Shidi spoke sincerely, why did it always feel like he was showing off?

In this formula, heta is a positive number, \phi is the Euler function, and a is an arbitrarily large positive number.

"."

Professor Chang took the hard drive handed over by Xu Qingzhou and smiled, "Sit down first, we'll start checking the data once everyone is here. I heard from Old Ji that the Physics Academy is planning to have you participate in the CMS experiment in Switzerland next month?"

"Is it that obvious?"

The second problem, no issues.

"It could have been faster; it was just writing out the process that wasted some time."

On the last day of June, Johns Hopkins University announced that because they could not solve the "level" problem of the average distribution of prime numbers in arithmetic progressions, the proof was not valid.

Xu Qingzhou nodded slightly, listening carefully.

British scientist Peter Higgs proposed the existence of the Higgs field in 1964 and further predicted the existence of the Higgs boson; unfortunately, it was not until nearly 50 years later, in 2013, that it was discovered in the LHC (Large Hadron Collider).

This was also the truth. His experience certainly didn't come out of thin air; rather, it was by first learning the experience of his predecessors and then tempering himself to gain new experience.

In other words, everyone present, including Deng Ziyi, could be considered his "master."

The model, system design, and everything else had all been calculated. Next was to continuously conduct simulation experiments and make corrections to the equipment and the entire system.

Thus, Xu Qingzhou's work here had temporarily come to an end.
