Chapter 423

The sunset slanted from the southwest horizon, casting shadows on the ground. Further away, the buildings in the Cambridge area were looming in the golden light.

The maple trees on both sides of the Charles River had long since fallen in several wind and snowstorms, and some snow remained on the lawn.

In the apartment.

On the TV, "Friends Season 3" was playing, with constant laughter. Beside the floor-to-ceiling window, Er Miao was crunching away in front of the automatic feeder, enjoying its dinner.

And in front of the coffee table, the two who had just returned from exercising were also huddled together.

Song Yao bit the cola straw, took a sip, her long eyelashes flickered, revealing a satisfied expression.

Carbohydrates are what make people happy.

Xu Qingzhou looked at the school beauty Song, who had snatched his cola and gulped down several mouthfuls, and couldn't help but say: "Didn't you say you weren't eating?"

"Who told you to tempt me."

Song Yao threw the pot of sin onto Xu Qingzhou, and as she said this, she opened her mouth.

Xu Qingzhou was gnawing on a burger and, being very observant, picked a piece of fried cod from the table and fed it to her.

After Song Yao finished the cod, she set her sights on the burger in Xu Qingzhou's hand.

As soon as Xu Qingzhou saw Song Yao's eyes, he knew she was coming to snatch food. He made a gesture to dodge, but was stopped by Song Yao, "Don't move!"

"." Xu Qingzhou couldn't help but sigh; she snatched things with such justification, worthy of being the school beauty Song.

Song Yao pried Xu Qingzhou's hand open and took a big bite of the burger, only then feeling satisfied. She got up to look at the ingredients in the refrigerator, "Is there anything you want to eat?"

Since she had already eaten, she might as well get full.

"Anything is fine?" Xu Qingzhou asked.

Song Yao turned her head, her gaze sinking, warning her boyfriend to be careful with his words, "What do you want to eat?"

"Noodles."

Xu Qingzhou said dejectedly.

The first month of 2018 began in heavy snow. Song Yao went on a business trip with Professor Morton, leaving only one person and one cat at home—relying on each other for survival.

The LHC side had already started the experiment to find the Higgs boson partner particle, and Richard would occasionally send an email to explain the progress.

Unsurprisingly, there was no good news from the first experiment.

This was within Xu Qingzhou's expectations; with the current collision intensity of the LHC, it was still quite difficult to find the Higgs boson partner particle.

Xu Qingzhou also put all his energy into the Riemann Hypothesis.

In front of the desk, stacks of manuscripts were laid out, and in the corner on the right, Er Miao was lying down licking its paws.

【Theorem: In the 4 sequences a, b, c, and d generated by formulas (7)~(8) respectively, if at least one of b or c in one of them is a finite sequence, then its a is an infinite sequence.】

"Reached this step... Use the residue theorem to establish a contour, and transform the integration interval of the main term of formula (7) to the subsequent (12)..."

Xu Qingzhou hooked the chin of Er Miao, who was lying on the corner of the table, and soon had an idea, lowering his head to draw on the new manuscript paper.

The current steps were more or less the same: introduce corresponding mathematical tools, prove the correctness of the tools, and then introduce mathematical tools...

During this time, he completed the proof of the introduced ξ(z) function.

The effect was similar to expectations; it could, like the function ξ(s), simplify the algebraic relation of the Riemann z-function: z(s)=2y(1-s)(2π)s-1sin(πs/2)z(1-s).

This allowed it to be expressed in the form ξ(s)=ξ(1-s).

Half an hour passed.

"Substituting r=1\logt into the above formula gives... Damn, it doesn't work..."

Xu Qingzhou stopped his pen, looking at the values calculated on the manuscript, feeling somewhat helpless. After working continuously for two days, he finally proved that the latest zero conjecture formula was incorrect.

"Again!"

He took a sip of water and picked up his pen again.

At this time, on Huaerjie in New York, inside the famous investment company Morgan Stanley building, a girl was sitting by the window in a daze.

"Hi, Xiaoyao."

Kaelier called out in Chinese, then switched to English, saying: "With that look of yours, let me guess, it's definitely not because of work; then there's only one possibility: Xu Qingzhou."

Song Yao didn't deny it.

When she left, Xu Qingzhou promised well to go for a stroll every day and not stay up late, but based on her understanding of this guy, once he sank into calculations, he would be so busy that he would even forget the time, and he definitely wouldn't honestly follow through.

However, it was normal, right?

When calling in the morning, he even said the calculation was at a critical moment.

Solving a world-famous mathematical conjecture must be very difficult.

Song Yao came back to her senses and asked: "Has the supply chain plan passed?"

Kaelier sat down with her coffee, nodded, and after sitting down, leaned back lazily, immediately revealing a very perfect curve, which made Song Yao move her gaze away a bit. Kaelier was clearly quite thin, but her chest...

Kaelier didn't notice Song Yao's strange expression and said with a smile: "Suddenly feel like you are very suitable for here. Have you considered working on Huaerjie?"

She quite admired Song Yao; at 21, having only graduated from undergraduate studies for a year, her work ability was already no less than her own, a PhD. She was decisive in doing things and had a keen financial sense. No wonder Vice President Mr. Gray McCarthy praised Song Yao as being born to work in finance.

"No."

Song Yao shook her head; she and Xu Qingzhou never had the idea of staying abroad.

"I don't want to either. Don't look at the high-rise buildings here, like a canyon, where you can only see a line of sky when you look up, just staying in a cubicle as an ant that leaves early and returns late."

Song Yao rested her chin on one hand, her gaze drifting out the window. Just as Kaelier said, this is a modern steel jungle, and further away, it is still an endless skyline.

Kaelier drank her coffee: "Then what are your plans after graduation? Hehe, your temperament, I think you are suitable to go back and be a dean of academic affairs."

Just this street, which is less than a mile long, has countless large banks, trust companies, and exchanges, which are the paradise for many financial people.

"Find a company to work for." Song Yao sipped her coffee, staring into the distance to relax her brain.

Since coming here, she had been in a high-intensity work state every day.

Morgan Stanley is currently researching investment plans in Southeast Asia, and they need to look at various reports and data every day, and also need to submit statements and plans.

Her spirit needed to be highly concentrated.

"Ah, already thought about working? So boring... I just hated staying in a cubicle, that's why I followed the teacher."

Kaelier felt that Song Yao should have more romantic goals: "Then talk about your dreams."

"Make money." Song Yao answered.

"And then?" Kaelier was a bit surprised. Although making money is the dream of the vast majority of people in the world, it didn't match this cold girl in front of her at all.

Song Yao's crystal-clear fingers tapped the table lightly and said: "Keep Xu Qingzhou as a kept man."

"."

Kaelier had to admit that this was a grand dream.

In her view, Song Yao was already amazing enough, but there was someone even more heaven-defying beside Song Yao.

Keeping Xu Qingzhou as a kept man was really a bit difficult.

Song Yao wasn't in a hurry and still had a plan for her future.

If nothing unexpected happened, she would first find a company to work for, work hard to make money, and after completing the initial accumulation of capital, she could start her own company, and then, keep Xu Qingzhou as a kept man.

Kaelier finished her coffee in a few gulps: "Let's go, continue working; we still have to stay here for 8 days."

"Hmm."
