Chapter 433: The Reward

Song Yao threatened her boyfriend, looked out the window, and suddenly had the desire to go out. "Let's go for a walk; tired all day."

"Sure, let's go."

Xu Qingzhou glanced outside and nodded. The weather was nice, a big sun all day, and the night sky was full of stars. Sitting in the library all day, his waist and back were sore.

They left as soon as they said so, put on a jacket, and went out.

The moon hung on the horizon, occasionally two thin clouds slid by, but it didn't affect the white moonlight falling down. Looking from afar, the moonlight spread over the earth like sea waves.

The banks of the Charles River were crowded with people, tourists taking photos and residents who were free and resting mixed together.

After walking for less than 10 minutes, Song Yao couldn't walk anymore, turned to Xu Qingzhou and asked: "Do you want to eat a midnight snack?"

"Don't look for an excuse for yourself to eat a midnight snack."

Xu Qingzhou ruthlessly exposed the school beauty's routine.

This was typical self-deception.

Finally, she comforted herself that the one buying the midnight snack was Xu Qingzhou, and she was just eating two bites.

"I won't eat much."

Song Yao sniffed her nose; she could already smell the fragrance of barbecue.

Xu Qingzhou pulled Song Yao over: "Let's go, adding a meal occasionally is quite good."

After eating, the two walked along the river toward the Harvard Bridge to digest.

Song Yao pinched Xu Qingzhou's hand: "Everyone says that when you're in a bad mood or have worries, eating more can solve them. Are your worries solved?"

"Now I only feel full."

Xu Qingzhou touched his stomach and said unhappily: "I'll be fed fat by you sooner or later."

This girl was greedy, but constrained by the pressure of weight loss, she only tasted a little of everything in the end, and everything went into Xu Qingzhou's stomach.

"I don't dislike you."

Song Yao's tone was gentle.

"I have to thank you for saying that."

"You're welcome."

After strolling for twenty minutes, the two started to walk back.

Song Yao seemed to think of serious business and said: "I'll find something for you to do."

"What?"

"Help me build a model."

"I'll consider it."

Xu Qingzhou held his momentum, knowing in his heart that Song Yao was probably worried about him drilling into a dead end and wanted to find something for him to do.

He was also willing to help.

Seeing his girlfriend so busy every day, he still felt quite heartbroken.

And based on the experience of these years, this trick of shifting attention was still effective. Maybe he would have new ideas at some point.

"Xu Laoshi~"

Song Yao also saw through this guy—he just wanted to see her call him Xu Laoshi in a delicate way, so she shook Xu Qingzhou's arm, her tone soft and weak, and started acting like a spoiled child.

"I'm considering."

Xu Qingzhou was secretly happy.

When a cold girl starts acting like a spoiled child, it's fatal.

"Xu Laoshi~"

"Mm."

"Xu Laoshi~"

"Mm."

"Xu Qingzhou!"

Song Yao brought out her trump card.

Seeing Song Yao was about to explode, Xu Qingzhou stopped while he was ahead and said in a deep voice: "Cough~ Since you are so sincere, I'll reluctantly agree."

Song Yao pulled Xu Qingzhou and kissed him on the face. "This is the reward."

"Anything else?"

Xu Qingzhou pointed to something else.

"Yes, all the housework these days is rewarded to you."

"..."

Returning home, Song Yao assigned the task Xu Qingzhou needed to do.

"Real option pricing usually uses the Black-Scholes model or binomial model in traditional finance, but the uncertainty and phased nature of biomedical projects might make these models not flexible enough."

"You first help me check the Bayesian update and probability modeling, and perform Monte Carlo path simulation based on the data I provided. Clear?"

"Understood."

"Good, then let's start, you..." Song Yao looked at her boyfriend walking toward her, her little face showing confusion.

Xu Qingzhou took Song Yao into his arms and headed toward the bedroom. "It's a bit late, let's sleep early."

"No!" Song Yao knew what Xu Qingzhou wanted to do, her chest pounding, and she refused subconsciously.

"Yes."

"Xu Qingzhou!"

At 8:00 AM, Song Yao carried her bag to school and left a lipstick mark on Xu Qingzhou's face again: "I'm leaving."

"Oh, okay."

Xu Qingzhou nodded, watched the school beauty leave, and stared blankly at the manuscript from a while ago.

"This part, introduce multiple frequency analysis and geometric combination methods."

【New estimation formula: n(\sigma, t)\llt^{\frac{13}{25}(1-\sigma)}(\logt)^a\quadext{when}\\sigma\geq\frac{3}{4}】

"But it's useless..."

Currently, there are quite a few mainstream ways to prove the Riemann Hypothesis.

And Xu Qingzhou is currently engaged in research in analytic number theory, constantly breaking through zero density estimation.

Besides analytic number theory, there are also perspectives from physics, such as the symmetry of quantum systems, path integrals, etc., hoping to find new tools to solve the Riemann Hypothesis.

Just like the method of Sir Atiyah before.

And operator theory.

Finding a differential operator whose characteristics correspond to the non-trivial zeros of the z-function, and proving that these eigenvalues are all real numbers. In 2017, researchers constructed a possible operator model through quantum physical systems.

Even the operator model and zero distribution are highly consistent, but the second step, proving that all eigenvalues are real numbers, still needs a breakthrough.

Finally, there is progress in computing, where scientists have recently tried to reveal the deep laws of zero distribution by optimizing computer algorithms (such as Selberg sieve, model assumptions).

Of course, the result is self-evident; none of them can fight.

"Let's slow down first."

Xu Qingzhou stopped struggling, put away the manuscript, temporarily didn't want to think about the Riemann Hypothesis, and sat in the chair reading messages first.

Weibo private messages were still in the 99+ state.

"Mr. Xu, based on your research on the Riemann-Siegel zero problem, I have successfully proven the Riemann Hypothesis. I am now planning to post it on arXiv, hope you can help recommend it."

"God Xu, shall we cooperate to conquer the Riemann Hypothesis? I can cross-dress!"

Phew, disgusting!

There wasn't much useful information in the private messages.

Xu Qingzhou despised them, closed Weibo, and looked at WeChat messages. In the 101 dormitory group, it was also chatting enthusiastically.

Xu Zhengyang: "Brothers, the sunrise is not bad, right?"

Zhai Ziqiang: "Awesome."

Kong Xianbo: "Awesome."

Xu Zhengyang: "I finally understand now, it's still more comfortable to be a student. How could I have been so short-sighted before, thinking about coming out to be a corporate slave."

Xu Zhengyang created a miracle in one month and really got into the graduate school of Jingda. During this time, he just finished writing his paper and started wandering around with his girlfriend. These few days, he ran to Sanya for a vacation.

Damn, time passes so fast.

Xu Qingzhou couldn't help but sigh. In the blink of an eye, four years had passed, and even these three guys were about to graduate. He vaguely remembered when they first entered school for military training...

Zhai Ziqiang: "Brother Yang, how many days until you're back?"

Xu Zhengyang: "Back on the 8th."

Kong Xianbo: "Brother Tao has asked several times; the city newspaper is waiting for an interview."

Xu Zhengyang: "Must be back on the 8th. This is my first time on TV, heh heh, take it back and show it to the old man every day."

Xu Zhengyang: "Xu Lao, why aren't you talking?"

Xu Qingzhou typed: "Showing off is a very tiring thing. I am very gratified that you can also experience it."

Kong Xianbo: "Why don't you just shut up."

Zhai Ziqiang: "+1"

The media had an appointment for an interview with the 101 dormitory.

This is called "four heroes in one door." The four people in the dormitory, not to mention Xu Qingzhou, who is now a so-called young mathematician, Kong Xianbo and Zhai Ziqiang were both recommended for graduate school.

Xu Zhengyang... preparing for the exam for one month and getting ashore, the gimmick is also quite good.

In short, the 101 dormitory really had the meaning of becoming a legendary dormitory.

Xu Qingzhou chatted with the three people in the dormitory for a few minutes, put down his phone, and prepared to read the materials Song Yao gave him.
