God's Crown

"What are you gloating about? Be careful that the twin primes you studied were solved by others." Just as Chen Tao finished speaking, An Yan continued, "I think it can work."

"If you can solve it, I will definitely read your masterpiece!" Liu Song didn't care, he had already calculated twin prime numbers for a long time.It has been counted almost since November, but unfortunately there is no way to untie it so far.Not to mention unraveling, there is no idea of ​​breakthrough.

Twin primes are a pure number theory problem, and a difficult conjecture.Not to mention them, even some PhDs in mathematics, and even professors have not solved this problem.If you can solve this problem, it is not difficult to get honor.Although it is impossible to win the Fields Award, which is known as the Nobel Prize in mathematics, the chances of winning the Fields Award are still very good after a few years of growth.

As the Nobel Prize in mathematics, the criteria for the Fields Medal are particularly high.

Contribution to mathematics, or in mathematics research, needs to reach a certain level.For example, the contribution of being able to solve the seven major mathematical conjectures of the millennium is definitely worthy of a Fields Medal.It will even be recorded in the annals of history, even if it is a little bit, in various aspects related to mathematics, some extraordinary contributions need to be made.

Of course, there is not only one Fields Medal in this world.In addition to the Fields Medal, there are many mathematical awards to be awarded.As long as you get a mathematics award, it is actually enough to prove that you have made major contributions and breakthroughs in mathematics.As for the Fields Medal, it is only for true geniuses.

Mathematicians under the age of 40 are required to receive this award, and the award awarded to mathematicians under the age of 40 has become the Nobel Prize in mathematics, which is enough to see how high this award standard is.

In Liu Song's view, Chen Tao has the hope of being able to sprint for the Fields Medal before the age of 40.As for An Yan, he is also a very powerful guy.It's a pity that he is not the monstrous player of Dr. Edward Witten.It is estimated that it is impossible to win the Fields Medal, but you can look forward to the Nobel Prize in Physics in your lifetime.

Of course, the world is full of monstrous players like Dr. Edward Witten, and the world is in chaos.After all, Dr. Edward Witten, as a top expert in quantum mechanics, became the winner of the Fields Medal.When I was in college, I studied literature and history.

This is... astonishing.

This doctor is also one of the most cited papers among contemporary physicists.

Liu Song thought for a while, then patted An Yan on the shoulder and said, "Boss, you want to develop into a monster like Dr. Edward Witten."

An Yan said with a smile, "Dr. Witten, I think we might meet him when we go to Stanford. It must be a very wonderful thing if we can have a few words with him."

"It should be possible. Professor Benson is also an expert in the study of quantum mechanics, and he and Dr. Witten should have some intersections. I mean, the physics conference held at Stanford is a relatively high-level conference. Don't say that Professor Benson wants to Go, I heard that many professors in Huaguo will attend this academic conference. How do I feel that this academic conference may have some impact in the future." Liu Song muttered about this matter.

An Yan asked curiously, "Where did you find out about this?"

"Professor Jesse said, if you didn't make a breakthrough on graphene, Professor Benson would take Roger there. But you made a breakthrough on graphene, although you are not as good as those physics students Well, there's nothing to compare it to. But anyway, you're still eligible to go to this physics conference. And I've heard that several big guys are very impressed with your graphene lab report. interested in."

"Be careful yourself. During the academic conference, if you encounter any tricky and weird questions. Don't doubt it, it will be a test for you by the boss."

"..." An Yan didn't know what to say, those bosses were interested in his experiment report, so should he use some questions in the experiment report to refute his point of view?This is what the legend says, must magic be defeated by magic?Thinking about the horror of the boss, An Yan felt a little uneasy at this moment.Originally, he was quite confident, because he repeated the review and inspection of the experimental report many times.

It's all to the point of memorizing it backwards, but at the moment when the boss asks a question, it's really not certain whether he can still remember his answer.

"Okay." Chen Tao brought out the last dish, and said to Liu Song, "Don't scare An Yan, it's not that scary."

Chen Tao looked at An Yan with a smile and said, "I was honored to go to an academic conference with Professor Jesse, and there was also an academic report. But the bosses below are not so arrogant, so don't think too much, you just need to be prepared , there will be no problem."

"Really?" An Yan said weakly, "What if the bosses insist on asking some incredible questions?"

"Generally speaking, big bosses will listen to your academic reports. They will only ask questions when they can't understand. Do you think there is any big boss in your experimental report who can't understand? Maybe you just talked about the first One step, people have already thought of the last step. Otherwise, how can you become a big boss?"

"That's right." An Yan felt that he was a little unfounded, "Then I'll go back and study the turbulence after I finish my meal."

"Turbulence, this is really too difficult." Liu Song said, covering his face, "I really don't understand, is it because quantum mechanics doesn't attract you? Why do you want to run to do turbulence. You need to know about turbulence. The difficulty is the NS equation, and you can’t solve the NS equation, so it’s really difficult to make a breakthrough on it.”

Just a paper on turbulence, without any breakthrough, is very difficult to get published.

Turbulence has been around for hundreds of years, and the papers on water have basically been passed by water.It is very difficult to make a splash, not because they want to stop An Yan, but because they think there is no need for An Yan to do so.

Papers on turbulence are generally published by well-known professors.It is a very stupid thing for a stunned young man like An Yan to use turbulent papers to conquer peer reviewers.They've seen too many papers of this type.For those judges, this has no effect at all, unless An Yan has an extraordinary breakthrough in the NS equation.But think about it, might An Yan have an extraordinary breakthrough in the NS equation?

That is almost impossible to establish.

Therefore, Liu Song believes that there is no need for An Yan to write a paper on turbulence.But quantum mechanics is different. Although there are many papers on water quantum mechanics, it is a vibrant subject.As long as you are not at that level of civil science, it is actually not difficult to get some insights into journals, and it can even be said to be very easy.

An Yan just smiled and didn't speak, he believed that Liu Song would understand him in the future.It's just that at this moment, Liu Song doesn't understand him.

Chen Tao was silent and did not speak, seeing that everyone was silent.Liu Song smiled awkwardly, "I'm just making a suggestion. As for whether An Yan accepts it or not, it's An Yan's own choice, and I definitely can't control it." He touched the bridge of his nose, and then Laughed again.Looking silly with a smile, An Yan nodded slightly, "I will consider your opinion."

It means that I will consider some of your opinions, but it is impossible for me to listen to you.

"Let's eat." Chen Tao tapped the table lightly, "You guys have been talking for so long, aren't you hungry?"

Smelling the aroma of the food, An Yan nodded immediately and said, "Then I won't be polite."

After eating, he returned to his dormitory to study turbulence.Liu Song and Chen Tao continued to study the twin prime number conjecture.

After flipping through the literature, An Yan began to study it carefully.

…………

As time passed, An Yan worked hard to improve herself while studying fluid mechanics.Gu Weize is also working hard to improve himself, Gu Weize is not a fool, of course he knows that no matter how hard he tries, it is definitely impossible to surpass An Yan.Let's not talk about the fact that An Yan can go to some kind of academic conference now.As far as An Yan's college entrance examination scores are concerned, even if he is given several years to study hard, it is impossible for him to catch up with An Yan.

He knew from a young age that An Yan was actually a very smart little kid.It's just that I don't like to study. When I really study, it is almost incomparable to others.That is, the children of other people's families in the adults. Unfortunately, An Yan didn't seem to be interested in learning this matter since she was a child.

He thought that when he grew up, he could still protect An Yan.Unexpectedly, An Yan was still stimulated, and ended up doing so well in the exam.He also went abroad to study in university, these things Gu Weize never dared to imagine before.In other words, he couldn't imagine that An Yan could go abroad to study in university.

Since An Yan is going to university abroad, Gu Wei is worried that it must be inevitable for An Yan.

Salted people like An Yan began to work hard to improve themselves, and to a certain extent.If Gu Wei was still the same as before, he definitely didn't deserve to be with An Yan.He wants to work hard now, to make himself able to stand with An Yan.Gu Weize, who never knew how to read in the dormitory, has started to read.The roommates were also very surprised, Gu Wei was also considered the school girl of their school, this guy didn't mess around all day long.There were even several fellowship activities with other schools, but Gu Wei left immediately after eating.

He didn't even look at those female students.On the court, Gu Wei must be very good.But... What does it mean that Gu Weize started reading again?Do you think basketball is no longer fun, and only reading can save him?

The roommate was very puzzled and asked Chen Hanlin, "What's wrong with this guy recently? I just think something is wrong with him, but I didn't expect it to be so wrong."

"What's wrong?" Chen Hanlin asked his roommate with a smile.

"What do you think is wrong with Gu Weize? He doesn't talk about girlfriends. A few days ago, he played basketball with us, but now he stopped playing basketball and started reading? What a waste of his good looks." After the roommate said these words like complaining, Chen Hanlin said, "Is this called having goals and pursuits?"

"Entering the police academy is not guaranteed to be a policeman. If you want to be a policeman, you have to study hard?"

"It's not wrong to say so, but his grades are not bad." The roommate said strangely, "And there are still a few years before graduation, so there is no need to work so hard now."

Chen Hanlin shook his head and said, "You don't understand even if I tell you."

"And who told you that he is not in a relationship? He is in a relationship, okay?" After Chen Hanlin finished speaking, everyone looked at him in shock.

"No, why are you looking at me like that?" Chen Hanlin didn't understand what it meant when everyone looked at him like that.

"I thought he was in a relationship before, but it was a boy after a long time." After the roommate finished speaking, he shrugged his shoulders, "Don't tell me, he is dating that boy."

"How is it possible?" Chen Hanlin said, "In short, he has experienced some things anyway, so he wants to study hard."

"Then the question is, what is it that stimulates him so much?"

"Have you ever thought about the feeling that a person whose grades are worse than yours since childhood is already a god of learning? It is the kind of person who can only be admitted to a junior college, but now he is a god of learning in a top university. But you are still a god of learning. A scumbag from a secondary school, have you ever felt that feeling?"

"Damn it, is it so hopeless?" Several roommates came together, "What kind of school is a top university? Are you sure it is a top university? A student of a top university like Jinghua University or Peking University?"

"Almost, the student god of the University of Zurich."

"This..." Several roommates glanced at each other, not knowing what to say.The University of Zurich, they may not know what school it is.But it sounds like a foreign school.In their perception, this kind of school should be a pretty good school.

"What school is this?"

"What other school can it be? One of the top research universities in Europe, one of the members of the 23 research university alliances in Europe, just like the Nine School Alliance in our country. All in all, it is a very powerful school, and what is even more terrifying is that they Going to a physics conference."

"Who is so awesome? Are you sure you are someone our brother Ze knows?"

"Speaking of which, you all know this big guy."

"Who, we don't know this kind of boss-level figure, don't talk nonsense."

"Hey, you don't know each other?" Chen Hanlin sneered when he heard his roommates denying that he knew the boss, "It's not that I hit you, this boss only passed the junior college entrance examination last year, and this year's college entrance examination is the highest. This is the boss."

"You mean...the one who was scolded by the keyboard man this year for being the number one student in the college entrance examination for studying abroad?" The roommate gasped, "I remember you and Brother Ze were in the same school before?"

"You also know that fierce man?"

"Of course I know him, fierce is really fierce." Chen Hanlin said in amazement, "Gu Wei grew up with him, do you think Gu Wei will be stimulated?"

"I'll go, it's so exciting. I also read the bib and said that this one seems to be in the university with a full scholarship. Anyway, it's pretty good."

"So..." Chen Hanlin said numbly, "What do you think Gu Weize should do? It's impossible to beat someone up, he has to work hard on his own."

"But that boss shouldn't be majoring in the police, right? No matter how hard you try, it's impossible to compare with that boss. Besides, scholarships are too difficult to get. It's not that there are no top students in our school, but It’s just not as good as that kind of academic god. Brother Ze can’t imitate those academic masters, let alone that academic god.” The roommate substituted himself, this kind of thing is indeed a bit annoying, but it’s just annoying That's all.

Let them catch up with the god of learning, don't be ridiculous.They may not even see the footprints of the learning god now.

The reason why the gods of learning are gods of learning is because no one will know what they think.Such a master of learning is a very terrifying existence in itself.

"Okay, let's not discuss that kind of academic master." The roommate gently rubbed his brows, talking about this kind of academic master, he felt that he was about to collapse.It wasn't that Gu Wei collapsed but he was about to collapse. Thinking about how difficult it is for them to get into the police academy.The god of learning has easily raised his score to close to full marks in a year, shouldn't it be a full score, so can the four points deducted from the composition be considered a score?

People abroad don't take any composition exams.

"I don't quite understand why Brother Ze is only stimulated now. Is the reflex arc a little too long? This semester is coming to an end, right? I'm only stimulated now, have I not been stimulated earlier?"

"It's not that I wasn't stimulated earlier, but it wasn't that serious." Chen Hanlin sighed, "Recently, Gu Wei knows that he seems to be planning to graduate next year or the year after, and then study for a master's degree or a doctorate abroad. .And they also have some kind of experimental report meeting at the physics academic conference, it is said that it is an experimental report meeting on new energy, and they have made results."

"Damn it!" the roommate said with wide-eyed eyes in disbelief, "What did you really achieve?"

"It must have achieved results." Chen Hanlin said exaggeratedly, "Gu Weize knew these things from his mother. Do you know that Gu Weize's mother and the parents of that big boss went to see others together? ? They are really amazing."

"No wonder Brother Ze is studying so hard now, I suddenly understand Brother Ze's mood." The roommate said with emotion, "Although this kind of student from other people's family sounds unbelievable, it happened to me... It will be very complicated, and when parents talk about others, they will mention other people's children, which is particularly depressing."

"I guess Brother Ze's parents gave him a hard lesson, right?"

"Almost." Chen Hanlin nodded slightly and said, "So he is working so hard now because of that boss."

"Oh my God, if I had such a big boss around me, I guess I would collapse." One of the roommates sighed and said, "Think about it, this is someone else's child, this is someone else's. Monster!"

"Yes, yes, this is not a god of learning, it is simply a monster."

They have been talking here for so long, but Gu Wei seems to be still reading his book, not talking at all.It doesn't matter what Chen Hanlin is saying about him and An Yan.

"Okay, okay, the physical fitness test is coming soon, how are you preparing?"

"It's okay, but the physical fitness test has always been Brother Ze's strong point." While talking, the roommate asked Gu Weize, "Brother Ze, how are you preparing?"

"It's not bad." Gu Wei paused for a moment, then continued, "It's not too bad anyway."

"To be honest, I used to be quite envious of Brother Ze's handsome looks. Now I don't envy him suddenly. I guess it's because of this reason. Brother Ze didn't find a girlfriend, right?"

"Ahem." Chen Hanlin coughed lightly and did not speak.

"That's not the case, anyway, the situation is a bit complicated." After Chen Hanlin finished speaking, he waved his hand, "Don't gather here, and go do something if you have something to do."

…………

When An Yan studies turbulence, it really involves NS equations. If he wants to write a paper on this topic, he must calculate the NS equations.

An Yan had to start studying the NS equation, which is a nonlinear partial differential equation.Under the current thinking of solving it, it is impossible to make progress and breakthroughs.An Yan stared at this equation for a long time.He didn't know how to solve this problem. After a long time, he shook his head and thought to forget it.Anyway, he can't do it now. After the academic conference is over, he will continue to try to do it.

The academic conference is about to be held, and the professor is also asking him if there is anything that needs to be revised in the academic report, and asks him to make preparations.Otherwise, the embarrassment would be too great.An Yan also knew this truth, so he was conducting a tense review.If something was wrong, he had to find it now.Otherwise, if there are mistakes in the academic report, it will be very embarrassing.

During this time, Liu Shan also called An Yan, asking when An Yan could go home.Seeing that the Chinese New Year is coming soon, if An Yan can't go home, it would be a bit out of character.

However, An Yan could not give an exact time, because the academic conference was held in mid-January, but the professor had not told An Yan the specific time.The hotel they stayed in was naturally prepared by Stanford University.However, the air tickets and the itinerary planning all need to be arranged by An Yan, and he probably has to send the professor to the plane back to Geneva before he can board the plane back to China.

Therefore, An Yan couldn't guarantee the specific time.

He could only falter and say that he would be able to go home before the Spring Festival.After the Spring Festival is 2012, and it is a new year.An Yan felt that she had a fulfilling life this year. After talking with her mother for a while, An Yan hung up the phone and continued her research.

It made Liu Shan talk to An Zhi for a long time, saying that her son was getting older and she didn't want to talk to him anymore.Again, the son doesn't seem to care much about the opinions of adults like them, and so on.He also asked An Zhi to comfort Liu Shan for a long time, and then Liu Shan got better.

Seeing that mid-January is here in a blink of an eye, Zurich in winter is still a bit cold, especially in this coldest weather.An Yan called the professor on the phone in the apartment. Yesterday he had already booked a ticket to Ugly Country in advance, and he almost connected with Stanford University, and he had already asked for the address of their hotel.

It is only necessary for the professor to confirm the time, so An Yan, who got up early in the morning, called the professor and asked the professor if he had confirmed the time.

After the call was made, the professor's tired voice reached An Yan's ears, "Hello, Ann?"

"Professor, good morning." An Yan's voice was a little soft, and the professor said with a smile on the other end of the phone, "Call me so early, what's the matter?"

"That's it, professor, have you confirmed the time? My itinerary has been arranged, and I have almost connected with the staff at Stanford University. When do you think you are free to leave?"

"Haven't you already booked your flight ticket?"

"Because I don't know when you are leaving, I had to look at the air ticket for the day. I will buy the ticket as soon as you book the time."

"Tomorrow morning." After the professor finished speaking, he asked An Yan what he was doing recently, "An, how is your flow field research going?"

"As you think, to study the flow field must first study the turbulence, and the turbulence involves the NS equation. I don't have any good ideas for this thing now. Professor, if this flow field doesn't work, I can change it to Any other papers?"

"Of course, Ann, remember that as long as you like it, you can decide what kind of paper you want to change."

"Professor, thank you!" An Yan hung up the phone and breathed a sigh of relief.

Open the door of the apartment and come to Chen Tao's apartment.Now Chen Tao and Liu Song are used to the habit of visiting An Yan from time to time.It was as if their apartment was an apartment for three people, not two.

Chen Tao said without raising his head, "Here?"

An Yan gave a soft acknowledgment, and tiptoed close to Liu Song.I found this guy in a daze staring at the draft paper, which was full of formulas.An Yan clicked his tongue, and Liu Song continued to think as if he didn't hear it.An Yan didn't bother Liu Song either, and turned around to come to Chen Tao, "How far have you researched?"

"It's still the same." Chen Tao shook his head and said, "By the way, I'm going back to China. Didn't you say to ask the professor for leave?"

"Yeah, why, you asked for leave too?" An Yan looked at Chen Tao's draft and said absently, "Are you planning to come to school at the end of March?"

"It's about that time. It may take me a little longer to tell the professor about the conjecture of twin prime numbers."

"What did the professor say?"

"Let me give up the twin prime number conjecture." Chen Tao rubbed his brows, "The research team is just me and Liu Song."

"Is it so miserable?" An Yan remembered that when he was doing the graphene experiment, he was alone.Could it be that other students of Prof. Jesse are refusing to do this project?

"Is it because other students are unwilling to do this subject?"

"That's not true." Chen Tao shook his head and said, "They all have their own projects. It's perfectly fine for one or two of us to do mathematics projects, but this is too difficult to do at all." Chen Tao rubbed his own Between eyebrows, "An Yan, do you have any ideas?"

"I can have any ideas. I have very little contact with this aspect. I don't have any ideas at all just by seeing how many times you have done it. You don't have to consider my feelings. You can do what you think you should do."

"I mean, how is your flow field doing?"

"No, I'm going to change my subject. At least I'm looking for a dead end when I study the flow field now." Speaking of this, An Yan felt a little bit heartbroken. He really isn't suitable to study anything in the flow field now.Those are too complicated, with his current poor fluid mechanics foundation.Probably because nothing can be researched, so there is no need for him to continue to dwell on it.

"Hmm..." Chen Tao looked at the draft paper and thought for a while, then said, "An Yan, since you can't do the project on your side, why not..."

"Why not?" An Yan looked at Chen Tao blankly, "You don't want me to join your research group, do you? I'm a physics student, okay? If it's topology, linear integration, etc., I can do it all." Do it with you, but this thing is number theory. Do you think the professor will agree if I do it with you?"

"How do you know the professor disagrees if you don't ask? Anyway, we've been thinking about it for a while, and if it doesn't work, we'll give up." Chen Tao said, "You can find a time to ask the professor, can you come with us? Do the subject of twin prime numbers."

"That's fine, I'll ask the professor when I fly tomorrow. If the professor disagrees, then I have nothing to do."

"I understand." Chen Tao nodded at An Yan and said, "I still think that if we can add you, maybe we can succeed."

An Yan covered her face and didn't say anything else, twin prime conjecture.He didn't dare to think about it at all. Chen Tao, Liu Song and him wanted to make such a difficult guess.Basically, it can be said to be a fantasy, but there is no way.Chen Tao has already called him, and to be honest, he also wants to try.If the twin prime numbers can be solved, can it be said that it is not impossible to make some breakthroughs in the NS equation?

The next day, he boarded the plane with the professor and saw that the professor was still not going to sleep, so he hurriedly said, "Professor, I want to tell you about the thesis."

"Oh?" The professor was reading a newspaper, he put down the newspaper in his hand and asked An Yan, "Have you chosen your topic?"

"Professor Jesse's students invited me to participate in the twin prime number research group. Professor, do you see?" An Yan felt a little guilty, and kept looking elsewhere.He was afraid of what would happen if the professor got angry.However, what he didn't expect was that the professor didn't get angry, but just said calmly, "Twin prime number research group?"

"It's the research group formed by those two Chinese people, right?" Professor Benson also heard about this matter from Professor Jesse during this period of time, but he didn't expect that the students of these two research groups would actually want to kidnap his own. Students go to participate in this kind of research group that is almost impossible to make.

"Ann, do you have any opinion on quantum mechanics?"

"No, no!" An Yan blinked his eyes, was the professor really angry?

"Then, why haven't you been doing topics related to quantum mechanics? Even a simple quantum field theory is fine."

"Professor me..." An Yan opened his mouth and said, "I actually want to do a quantum field theory topic after doing another topic. You know, I still have a lot to learn in quantum mechanics, so ..." An Yan still didn't dare to look at the professor, but the professor thought about An Yan's words carefully, and it was true.

Since the student doesn't want to do the subject of quantum field theory now, let him do whatever subject he wants.Moreover, this subject of twin prime numbers sounds like a research group that is unlikely to succeed.Even adding an Anyan will not help.

So the professor said, "If you really want to do this project, I can give you half a year to do it. If you still haven't done it after half a year. That is, after the summer vacation, if you still haven't done it, I will give you Arrange a research group."

"Thank you, professor." An Yan felt relieved all of a sudden. Since the professor did not reject his proposal, he can naturally work on this subject with Chen Tao and Liu Song boldly.After returning to Huaguo, he had to have a good chat with Chen Tao.

As for the things the professor entrusted to him, he plans to do it after the Chinese New Year.During the Chinese New Year, everyone has to leave relatives, and it is estimated that no one will make time for an interview.And it was impossible for him to make time for an interview.After all, An Yan had to go back to her father's hometown this year, and rubbed her hair.Turning his head, he found that the professor was still reading the newspaper.

He lay down on the chair, closed his eyes and began to recharge his energy.Various details of the experimental report were still floating in his mind, and An Yan was still in a drowsy sleep when he arrived in California.

The professor woke up An Yan and went to Stanford University with him.

Stanford University, full name Leland Stanford Jr.Located in Palo Alto, south of the San Francisco Bay Area, California, near the famous high-tech park Silicon Valley, together with the University of California, Berkeley in the North Bay of San Francisco, it constitutes the academic center in the western part of the country. ①

Stanford University, especially in physics, ranks second in the world, competing with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology for the first position all the year round.

Therefore, it makes sense for this physics conference to be held at Stanford University.Along the way, An Yan felt a little dull, probably because he had slept for a long time.It was almost noon when he arrived at Stanford University, An Yan yawned, looked at the school gate standing in front of him, and took a deep breath.

Is this coming to Stanford?An Yan thought in his heart that he was yearning for Stanford University, but because of the matter of making an academic report, when he saw the gate of Stanford University, he had already started to feel a little uneasy.
