She found a particular line of calculations and spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“... Line 11 on page 27, there’s a problem with the formula.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She hadn’t changed much over the past three years. The only difference was that her short ponytail had now reached her arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she were wearing a long skirt, one might even mistake her for a real princess. Unfortunately, she often wore teenage-looking clothes, which made people mistake her for a high school visiting student...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh Jesus... My God, you’re even more strict than my PhD supervisor...” Molina rubbed her eyebags and grabbed a pen from the table. She stretched her back and stood up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t like pulling all-nighters, and sitting there all night hurt her shoulders and back. Even though she was one of the younger lecturers, she was still getting quite old.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least she was when compared to Vera...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vera smiled awkwardly as she said, “What do you mean, Sophie Morel is way worse than me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sophie Morel was Molina’s PhD supervisor. The two had worked on the Riemann hypothesis for a long time. After losing the 2018 Nobel Prize, Sophie gave up on the Riemann hypothesis and began researching other areas of study. Surprisingly, Sophie had been doing quite well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Molina, on the other hand, was still stuck on this age-old question. Even though she went from a PhD student to a Princeton University lecturer, her desire to solve this question was still there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for how she ended up working for Vera, it was a long story.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All in all, right now, the two were in the same research project group and had the same goal— solve the Riemann hypothesis.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, Vera, you’re too humble. That coward could never prove Kakutani’s fixed-point theorem so beautifully. She could never study a problem so meticulously...” said Molina. Molina scratched her head and felt irritated. She said, “Damn it, I should have thought of the Odlyzko–Schönhage algorithm a long time ago.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bingo, the Odlyzko–Schönhage algorithm,” Vera said softly. She wrote down two lines of calculations on a piece of paper and said, “After we correct the algorithm, we can prove that 40% of the non-trivial zero points is on the critical line... Congratulations, Molina, you discovered a method other than Levinson’s algorithm that proved Corney’s critical line theorem.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vera was trying to make Molina feel better by congratulating her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Vera wasn’t sure if Molina felt better at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It took them a month to come up with this idea, and another two months to test this idea. However, in the end, their result was already proved by someone in the 1990s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The critical line that divided the non-trivial zero points of the z function was still at 40%. If anyone could increase this percentage, they were likely to win the next Fields Medal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, even after so many years, no one was able to defeat this dragon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is meaningless...” Molina sighed and said, “Maybe Mathematics Chronicle will accept our thesis.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vera gave her a look of encouragement and spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I think they will consider it. After all, we found another use for the Odlyzko–Schönhage algorithm.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike other fields, mathematical research wasn’t completely a result-oriented field. Even if someone didn’t produce a beautiful result, as long as the proof process was interesting, it might be published. Not to mention that even though Mathematics Chronicle wasn’t managed by Princeton anymore, it still had a more “relaxed” attitude regarding Princeton submissions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was unlikely for them to publish in large journals such as Annual Mathematics.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Maybe...” Molina rubbed her messy hair and said, “I think we should change our mindset. A while ago, I found Sir Atiyah’s notes, and I think his research is interesting.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vera’s mouth was wide open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Molina...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Molina said,” What?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vera said in a serious manner, “You should really take a break.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This might be disrespectful toward Sir Atiyah, but long before Atiyah passed away, people had been trying to use his notes, all to no avail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t worry about me, I’m doing great.” Molina rubbed her forehead and said, “Actually, you’re right, I think I should take a break.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyone who studied Sir Atiyah’s notes must be going a little haywire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vera sat next to her, and a moment of silence passed before she asked, “Why... are you so determined on solving the Riemann hypothesis?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Molina replied sarcastically, “Just like how you’re determined on getting that guy?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vera blushed, and she hesitated for a bit and looked at the thesis on the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I... I’m not as determined as you. It’s just that, he was the one who helped me when I needed help the most.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Molina: “But that was many years ago, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vera nodded in silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was well aware that it was many years ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t know if Lu Zhou still remembered what she looked like.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she remembered exactly what he looked like...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I feel the same.” Molina smiled and grabbed the empty mug on the table as she said, “Mathematics saved me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vera looked at her with a puzzled look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But why Riemann hypothesis?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s a story for another day.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Molina stood up from her chair, but because of her extreme fatigue, she struggled to maintain her balance. Fortunately, Vera stood up and supported her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thanks.” Molina grabbed the chair and smirked as she said, “If he doesn’t want you, I’ll marry you, sis.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vera’s face turned bright red, and she said, “Sorry, I don’t... swing that way.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Molina pouted and smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just kidding.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moline picked up the thesis on the table and quickly walked away.\u003C\u002Fp>",967,"2026-06-05T19:44:57.547Z",1,"novelbin.me","9bc86b318eeb1930057baa4d80a7f2e73080ee3f25fe2093ef08238535a78270","scholar-s-advanced-technological-system-chapter-825","scholar-s-advanced-technological-system-chapter-823",1683,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fscholar-s-advanced-technological-system-cover.jpg"]
