God's Crown
Chapter 86 Back to School (1)
As Professor Li said, the connection with the national defense of the United States is too deep. Once he invests in it, it is very likely that he will not be able to get out.Thinking about Gu Wei, forget it, not to mention, he really doesn't want to contribute to the defense world of the United States.No need, he is more inclined to Stanford University or UC Berkeley, after all, the mathematics and physics here are not weak.
Outstanding alumni include the well-known Yau Shing Tong, Wu Jianxiong and other big names.
As for Stanford University, not to mention, mathematics ranks No. 4 in the world, physics ranks No. 2, and even chemistry ranks No. 2 in the world.This is the best choice for a science student. As for Princeton University—of course, Princeton University is very good, especially in mathematics and physics, but in chemistry.There is really no comparison between Princeton and Stanford.
In fact, the place An Yan wants to go the most right now is Stanford University, but the offer from Stanford University is really hard to get.And now Dr. Witten, who has the highest H index in physics, is a professor at Princeton University, and what Professor Benson means is that Dr. Witten can teach a lot of knowledge that he can't teach.
But like this kind of top university in the world, he can't go anywhere he wants.
There are many issues that need to be considered, and it is not a problem for An Yan to think about it now.He decided not to think about it, but looked at Professor Li. At this time, Professor Li was holding the phone and talking to the other end of the phone.After a while, Professor Li hung up the phone, smiled at An Yan and said, "Those little bastards have stood the test, they didn't leave the laboratory. Let's go, let's go see them now." what are you doing?"
Although Beijing University is not a top university in the world, as Huaguo's strength continues to grow, Beijing University is also a world-renowned university.
Such a university will naturally not produce a group of idiots.An Yan followed Professor Li, and the two walked towards the laboratory.When I came to the laboratory, I saw that the people in the laboratory were doing their own things, and the scene was still very quiet.After watching for a while, An Yan nodded slightly in her heart.What this group of students did was exactly the same as the experiments he had done before.
At this time, a student stepped forward and said to Professor Li, "Professor, we have done it dozens of times, but unfortunately, we haven't analyzed it yet."
"You don't need to analyze it." Professor Li waved his hand, "I brought him to you today, if you have any questions, you can ask him directly!"
An Yan froze for a moment, then turned her head stiffly to look at Professor Li next to her.This is to bring him to guide his students?But he is still a student.
"Ahem." An Yan coughed lightly, "Then what, I did this experiment purely by luck, and I have nothing to say. You all know what I know. Moreover, I also learned from the literature. For the knowledge I have learned, I believe that the literature and materials of Peking University should not be less than those of the University of Zurich."
While An Yan was speaking, the students also looked at An Yan curiously.
Is the guy in front of me who looks less than 20 years old the Zurich university student who made a breakthrough in graphene?No matter how they look at it, they feel that graphene's breakthrough has nothing to do with the kid in front of him who looks only in his teens.It's a pity that the graphene breakthrough is not only related to An Yan, but also very closely related.
"Don't listen to his nonsense. Although he doesn't have as much experience in experimenting as you, he has a much more accurate grasp of the experimental data than you." When he said this, Professor Li sat leisurely On the chair at the side, "If you have any questions, you should ask them as soon as possible. After passing this village, there will be no such shop."
After finishing speaking, Professor Li sat aside to rest by himself, and pushed everything to An Yan.
An Yan, who was surrounded by Professor Li's students, felt that this trip to Beijing University was not good at all, not at all!In this way, I discussed with the students for a long time. Occasionally, Professor Li would interject a few words. Most of the time, An Yan was communicating with the students.Before I knew it, it was almost time for lunch.
At this time, the professor pulled An Yan out of the laboratory, and left a sentence, "You guys do the experiment well, and I will come back to see you later."
After leaving the laboratory with An Yan, Professor Li Bo asked, "How is my student doing?"
"It's okay." An Yan said dumbfounded, "Then what do you mean by pushing me out?"
"What can I mean? Isn't this for you to get acquainted with each other in advance? In the future, we will study graphene together." Professor Li Bo touched An Yan with his hand, and the corner of An Yan's mouth twitched slightly and said, " You have the nerve to say that?"
"Why am I embarrassed? I did this for the sake of better cooperation between you in the future." When talking about this, Professor Li Bo touched An Yan with his elbow, and said with a smile, "I said An Yan Ah, so you are angry?"
"It's not that angry." An Yan touched the bridge of his nose, and then said seriously, "I just didn't expect you to be such a professor."
"What kind of professor?" Li Bo wanted to hear An Yan's evaluation.
Logically speaking, it is actually impossible for An Yan to talk to him like this. He is a university professor anyway, so he is somewhat dignified.It's just that he and An Yan got closer, so he didn't care about it so much.Otherwise, depending on the tone An Yan spoke to him, if Li Bo did something serious, it would be almost impossible for An Yan to see some big dog.At least until he has a certain status in the academic world, I am afraid that no one will want him when he returns to China.
"How should I put it..." An Yan thought for a while and said, "It's just that it's a bit different from other professors. I can't say for sure. Anyway, I just feel that it's a bit different from other professors."
"Really?" Professor Li raised his eyebrows, "Are you praising me, or are you hurting me?"
"what do you think?"
"I just thought you were praising me." Professor Li didn't care so much with An Yan, and they arrived at their destination after talking.It's not far from Beijing University, so I came to the hotel and entered the box.Then An Yan saw a middle-aged man with a big belly and several young people were already sitting at the dining table. The middle-aged man stood up and went up to Professor Li and said, "Professor Li has been gone for a while, and I went to a physics academic conference before." how do you feel?"
"It's okay." Professor Li Bo said indifferently, "Anyway, it's those topics every year, such as quantum mechanics, astrophysics, etc., just to discuss the universe. I don't think Mr. Sun will be interested in these Bar?"
The middle-aged man named Mr. Sun smiled cheerfully, "Professor is right, I'm really not particularly interested in these things. You know, I'm more pragmatic, at least what I can do in recent years, I think you can tell me about it.” When Mr. Sun said this, he suddenly seemed to think of something, “By the way, I remember that at this year’s physics academic conference, there were researchers from Huaguo who were working in graphite. Is there a breakthrough in ene?"
"Of course." Professor Li Bo shook his head while talking, which made Mr. Sun dumbfounded. He shook his head again, and said that of course, this is not just replying to him that there is such a thing?Why did he say something wrong?
Mr. Sun looked at Professor Li Bo in surprise, and asked humbly, "Professor Li, what did I say wrong?"
"It is indeed our Huaguo, but you made two mistakes. First, he is not a student of our Huaguo school, and second, he is a student of the University of Zurich."
"The University of Zurich, a school in Europe, is a bit far away. You said that if he was in China..."
"Mr. Sun seems to be very interested in this?"
"It must be interesting. That's graphene, one of the main energy sources in the future. Can I not be interested?"
"That's true." Professor Li Bo smiled and said, "So, I brought you someone today."
As he spoke, Professor Li Bo pointed to An Yan beside him and said, "Professor Benson's student, An Yan, is from the Department of Physics at the University of Zurich. You have met Professor Benson several times, Mr. Sun, have you not forgotten?"
"No, I haven't forgotten." Mr. Sun's eyes shifted to An Yan. He originally thought that Professor Li Bo brought his students here.Unexpectedly, he was a student of Professor Benson. Mr. Sun stretched out his hand cheerfully and said, "It turns out that he is a student of Professor Benson. It's a pleasure to meet you."
Is the scene just so polite?An Yan was not suitable for this kind of scene, so he stretched out his hand in embarrassment and whispered, "Hello, Mr. Sun."
"Come on, Professor Li, Mr. Ann, please sit down and talk."
After An Yan and Professor Li Bo sat down, Mr. Sun said, "So, Mr. An made a breakthrough on graphene?"
"Mr. Sun, I don't believe that the physics academic conference is over, and you haven't done your homework. This is not your style."
Mr. Sun was exposed by Professor Li Bo, but he was not panicked at all. Instead, he said very calmly, "We have read Mr. An's graphene experiment report, and it is very professional."
Professor Li continued to disrupt the situation without hesitation, "If Mr. Sun could understand the experimental report, he would not come here to approach me."
Mr. Sun said calmly, "Of course, professional things have to be done by professionals."
"To be honest, we are very optimistic about Mr. An's next experiment." Mr. Sun looked at An Yan and said, "Mr. An is still planning to continue the research on graphene, right?"
"That's right, the research on graphene will definitely continue. I want to use graphene to make batteries first. Then apply this technology to other products."
"The concept is very good, and we are also very optimistic about Mr. An's project." Mr. Sun glanced at Professor Li Bo, then at An Yan, and he already understood it.Professor Li Bo brought An Yan to meet him, but the meaning was obvious.Lack of investment, their Huaxia Investment Group is still very interested in this high-tech product that can be used immediately.
Although it will take three to five years to get on board, Huaxia Investment Group really does not lack such a little time to wait.
"Then, Mr. An, you are studying at the University of Zurich." Mr. Sun's tone was not too bad, he stared at An Yan for a long time, and then said, "Then when you were doing a project at the University of Zurich, did you Professor Benson is in charge of the research group or is someone else in charge of the research group?"
"I'm in charge now." An Yan understood when he heard Mr. Sun say this. Sun always wanted to find out who was in charge of this project.
And he didn't hide from Mr. Sun that this project was indeed the one he was in charge of, so there was nothing wrong with him saying it was him.Professor Li Bo chimed in and said, "I met Professor Benson at a physics academic conference before, and Professor Benson has given him the responsibility for this subject."
General Manager Sun smiled, "Mr. An is very optimistic about the future of graphene, right?"
"Mr. Sun, shouldn't I ask you whether you are optimistic about the future of graphene?" An Yan asked Mr. Sun, "If you want to ask me whether I am optimistic about the future of graphene, of course I will answer that you are very optimistic about the future of graphene. The future of graphene is very good."
"The foreground application is very extensive." When An Yan said this, he looked at Mr. Sun's face.Finding that Mr. Sun still seemed to be calm, he sighed secretly in his heart that he was indeed a business elite who had been in the mall for a long time, and he would not give him any expressions or feedback.
But even so, An Yan still said in a serious manner, "What I am doing now is graphene batteries. This technology is not yet mature, but I believe that when it matures in the future, graphene can be used in many fields. Graphene As a material discovered only a few years ago, ethylene has a very broad application space. I believe Mr. Sun has also heard these words, and he has heard them many times."
"That's right, many people talked to me about how promising graphene is. In fact, we all know about it, but the problem is that they will talk about it. When we really do this thing , and I can’t do it well. To be honest, I really have a hard time agreeing with some researchers.” Mr. Sun glanced at Professor Li Bo, and said, “Of course, such a highly respected Peking University professor like Professor Li must be different. of."
Professor Li Bo sneered and said, "Is Sun always praising me, or hurting me?"
"Of course I'm praising the professor, the professor is so powerful." Mr. Sun said with a smile, "Otherwise, how could it be possible for the professor to call us here?"
"Hehe." Professor Li Bo smiled and didn't continue talking, and Mr. Sun said eloquently, "Speaking of which, Mr. An is doing the experiment alone this time or..." Mr. Sun's eyes were on An Yan and Li Bo. The professors moved back and forth, obviously he wanted to ask An Yan whether this experiment was done by himself or jointly with Professor Li Bo and the others.
An Yan looked at Mr. Sun and said, "It should be a joint research with the research group of Peking University."
Mr. Sun outlined a smile, "How long does Mr. An think he can make a breakthrough?"
An Yan spread his hands and said, "It's really hard for me to answer this question. After all, I don't know how long it will take to make a breakthrough. This kind of thing is not something I can say when I can break through. This point , I believe you know it in your heart, don’t you?”
Mr. Sun thought for a while, "Mr. An didn't mean that I don't trust you, or that I don't want to invest in you. It's because you are too young. You also know that there is an old saying in our Hua country, that is, if you have no hair on your mouth, you can't do things well. "
"..." An Yan looked at Mr. Sun quietly and did not speak to defend himself, just looking at him directly.Mr. Sun was somewhat embarrassed at this time, it was the first time he was looked at like this.He pondered and said, "Well, since we are cooperating with Peking University, I can still invest. But I hope you can make some results as soon as possible. I remember that foreign countries, especially the United States, are almost at the expense of this aspect. The results have been produced. Mr. An is from this area, and he knows that according to the American character of bluffing and not knowing how to hide, what they announced is almost the latest results. In addition, you gave this thing to me before. They have made a breakthrough, and they have overcome many difficulties..."
"I understand what you mean. What you mean is that I strive to make results before the labs in the United States make results and establish patent barriers. Is that what you mean?" Patent barriers are a good thing, If anyone establishes a patent barrier, if anyone wants to use the patent of this thing in the future, he must pay part of the money to the company and individual who established the patent barrier.
This is a very generous income, not to mention Mr. Sun, even An Yan himself wants this income very much.
You must know that this is a patent barrier. As long as you need to use graphene as a battery in the future, you will have to pay them money, and there may even be a situation of dividends.Even if it is a one-time payment, it is necessary to hand over a huge sum of money.
"Mr. Sun still has this news?" An Yan raised his eyebrows and looked at Mr. Sun firmly.He didn't know that Huaxia Investment Group was so clear about these matters. As expected, Huaxia Investment Group has been staring at America's work.
"If we don't even know what the United States has done, we can't be a state-owned enterprise. You say it, Mr. An!" Mr. Sun said and put it on the table, and his eyes didn't know where he was staring.
An Yan thought for a while, "Mr. Sun, I can't guarantee that I can make graphene batteries before the United States. I can only say that I will do my best to cooperate with Professor Li's team to make graphene batteries as soon as possible." An Yan After finishing speaking, he paused, "And it is very likely that I will not continue my studies at the University of Zurich this year or next year, and may go to a school in the United States."
"Oh?" President Sun became interested, "Mr. An is going to a school in the United States? I am quite familiar with schools in the United States. I wonder what school Mr. An wants to go to?"
"You don't have to worry about that." Professor Li Bo said, "Professor Benson introduced him to Professor Witten from Princeton University, who is the leading professor in physics."
"So that's how it is." Mr. Sun has a general understanding of An Yan, a genius boy, and he does things well.Otherwise, Professor Li Bo would not introduce him to him, and Mr. Sun is quite easy to accept the person introduced by Professor Li Bo.After all, it has been a pleasure to cooperate with Professor Li Bo many times.
Naturally, the person he introduced, Mr. Sun also thinks there is no major problem.Now that he was thinking about how to formulate the contract, Mr. Sun asked An Yan, "Does Mr. An have any requirements for the contract?"
"The first work is mine, and the patent right belongs to me and Huaxia Investment Group. What do you think, Mr. Sun?"
"No problem." Mr. Sun is not interested in papers, and there is no problem with the first or second work, the corresponding author.This matter should not be negotiated with him, but with Professor Li Bo next to him.But An Yan was able to say such a thing, obviously because he had negotiated with Professor Li Bo.
Since Professor Li Bo has no problem, he has no objection.As for the patent rights being shared by him and the Huaxia Group, there is no problem.The Huaxia Group is the investor, and An Yan is the one doing research and development.If there is no research and development person, no matter how rich Huaxia Investment Group is, it will not be able to change it out of thin air.In addition, Mr. Sun thinks that An Yan is someone who can make friends.He felt that An Yan might have greater achievements in the future, and now that giving up half of the patent rights to An Yan can be regarded as making friends with a future great scientist, and there will be more opportunities for cooperation in the future.There is no need to kill the chicken to get the eggs. As a businessman, Professor Li Bo is very clear about this.
"So when will Mr. An be free to sign the contract?" They didn't prepare the contract at this time, they had to negotiate the conditions first, and after the two parties signed the contract, Huaxia Investment Group would transfer the project funds to An Yan.
"When you have time to draw up the contract, let's sign the contract with the three parties." This is a three-party contract. The teamwork of An Yan and Professor Li Bo of Jingda University, and the investment from Huaxia Investment Group, is naturally a three-party contract. contract.
After An Yan left an email, he had a meal with Mr. Sun and Professor Li. Before he was about to board the plane, Mr. Sun asked his assistant to book a plane ticket for An Yan.
An Yan was a little embarrassed, originally he wanted to buy a ticket before going to the airport.Unexpectedly, President Sun had already ordered his assistant to buy the ticket, and when he was going to the airport, it was also President Sun's assistant who drove An Yan to the airport.
After boarding the plane, An Yan breathed a sigh of relief.The funding problem has been solved, and the next step is the technical problem.Graphene is not so easy to study.He is not wrong, he can only guarantee that this thing will be researched as soon as possible. If he is to research it in a few years, even in recent years, An Yan himself does not believe that he can do it so quickly. Just research it.
This thing can only be done slowly, and there is still the issue of twin primes.
Why does An Yan feel that Chen Tao and Liu Song are going to be angry? The problem is that after he studies this topic, he may be able to go to a top university in the world like Princeton, while Chen Tao and Liu Song can only go to ETH Zurich, which is next door to the University of Zurich. college.
The gap between ETH Zurich and Princeton University is still obvious, especially in mathematics and physics.The intention of Chen Tao and Liu Song is very simple, that is, to make some achievements in mathematics, but as the best school in mathematics, Princeton University is very difficult to apply for, and it is very difficult to get a letter of recommendation.
So An Yan was afraid that Chen Tao and Liu Song would have opinions on him, and after he returned to Yucheng, he would have to interview the students recruited by the professor.In fact, he did have a lot of things to do. After sending a message to Gu Weize, An Yan turned off his phone and got on the plane directly.
When we arrived at Yucheng Airport, it was already past five in the afternoon, and the sky was already dark.Walking out of the airport, he saw Gu Weize and his father waiting for him outside the airport, and waved to him.
"Xiao Yan, you are here." An Zhi smiled when he saw An Yan, "How did Xiao Yan talk with the investor today?"
"It's almost the end of the negotiation. After signing the three-party contract in a few days, they mean to build a patent barrier. That is, if anyone wants to use graphene technology in the future, they need to give us a sum of money. However, such things as patent barriers are not easy to do. Now that the research on graphene in the United States has been very in-depth, I even doubt that they have made many breakthroughs, but they have not announced the results." An Yan scratched his head and thought for a while, then He continued, "Now we can only take one step at a time."
Gu Wei sat next to An Yan, just like listening to a scripture, he kept listening to An Yan, but couldn't understand what An Yan was talking about.Can only sit aside and continue to listen.An Zhi actually didn't understand too much, he just nodded and said, "Xiao Yan, have you considered what you told me last time?"
"Dad." An Yan raised her head and said, covering her forehead with her hands, "I still haven't figured out where to go."
"Where are you going?" Gu Wei seemed to have grasped the key words, "What is Xiaoyan going to do?"
"Study." An Zhi answered Gu Weize's doubts with ease.
"No, isn't Xiao Yan studying at the University of Zurich now? Where else do you want to study?"
"Hey, I heard from him that his professor asked him to go to Princeton University in the United States." An Zhinu pouted, "You should ask Xiaoyan about the specific situation."
Gu Wei turned his head and looked at An Yan, blinking his eyes.
Unable to stand Gu Weize's gaze, An Yan said, "The professor asked me to study at Princeton University, because the academic atmosphere of Princeton University is much better than that of Zurich University. Besides, the mathematics and physics of Princeton University are located in the world. The top level, for me personally, still has a lot of room for improvement.”
"However, in fact, I want to go to Stanford University. Stanford University not only performs very well in mathematics and physics, but also performs extremely well in chemistry. They are all among the top disciplines in the world, and there are many in physics. Things are connected with chemistry. It can be said that the three subjects of mathematics, physics and chemistry are interdisciplinary subjects, and they are used quite frequently in practice. My idea is that I can study in the Department of Physics at Stanford University. You can go to the Department of Mathematics and Department of Chemistry for a while." After An Yan finished explaining, Gu Wei still seemed to half understand.
"Xiao Yan is really amazing, and now he can go to such a world-class prestigious school." He had never heard of Princeton University and Stanford University, so he asked a stupid question, "What about Harvard University? Why not go to Harvard University?" ?”
"Ahem." An Yan coughed lightly, "In terms of performance in literature and history, Harvard University is definitely the strongest. But in science, Harvard University is completely inferior to MIT, Stanford, and the University of California. Berkeley and Princeton University. To be precise, the science class should be the best. For example, MIT is the best in physics, and Princeton University is the best in mathematics. Each university has its own advantages. Only MIT can't go."
"Why, why?"
"The rise of MIT is inseparable from the national defense of the United States. Do you think I can go to MIT?"
"That's right. If you go there, Xiaoyan may not be able to return to China." Gu Wei grabbed a handful of hair, "Is there anything going on after Xiaoyan returns to China? Will he still be busy?"
"I'm busy, and I have to do something for the professor. I have a twin prime number research group here. If I can complete this research project, I will almost be able to get offers from those famous schools." After An Yan finished speaking , turned his head to look at Gu Weize and said, "Why, you don't seem very happy."
"No way." Gu Wei forced a smile, "Xiao Yan, you're so powerful, I'm too late to be happy, how could I be in a bad mood."
"Hehe..." An Yan sneered and stopped talking, while Gu Wei opened his mouth and didn't continue talking.
He thought in his heart that he was indeed becoming more and more unworthy of An Yan.Listen, what is An Yan talking about?The world's top schools do some academic content that he can't understand at all.He felt that An Yan was playing the piano against the cow when talking to him.
Back home, An Yan rested for a day.This year itself is not going back to his hometown, and An Yan has no time to go back to his hometown.After arriving home, before he had time to eat, he called Chen Tao first.It's time for Chen Tao to come back and work with him on the subject of twin prime numbers.
"An Yan, what's the matter?" Chen Tao's phone was not as noisy as last time, and his voice was much lighter, "Going back to China?"
"Well, I've arrived in Yucheng, where are you? How about we start discussing the topic of twin prime numbers tomorrow?"
"Are you in such a hurry?" Chen Tao said with a smile on the other end of the phone, "Well, I'll call Liu Song and ask him to come over and discuss with us the subject of daring to twin prime numbers. When and where is tomorrow ?”
"Ten o'clock tomorrow morning? At my house or where you choose?"
"Then it will be at your house." Chen Tao answered An Yan after thinking for a while, and then hung up the phone.It happened that Gu Weize's parents also came to An Yan's house.
"Old An, I heard that your family is happy?" Gu Wei sat obediently beside his father without saying a word, and An Zhi said cheerfully, "We will go to Princeton University after the banquet."
"Princeton University?" Li Xia took a breath, "I heard that school is very good? Why didn't Xiaoyan go to Harvard University?"
"Princeton University's Department of Mathematics is the number one in the world, but this is something that has not yet been established, so it can't be taken seriously." An Yan shook his head and said, "It seems difficult for Dr. Witten to accept me."
"You boy..." Gu Weize's father scolded An Yan with a smile, and everyone began to eat happily.
…………
Waking up the next morning, An Yan turned on her phone and took a look.Well, it was only past nine o'clock, and he washed up and had a breakfast.Gu Weize came to his house early, and An Yan asked Gu Weize to sit on the sofa by himself, and said, "You have fun by yourself, and some classmates will come to the house later, so don't make trouble for me."
"Ah?" Gu Wei was stunned for a moment, "Why do some classmates come to the house today? What do you want?"
"Study the subject, what else can it be?" An Yan stretched his waist, sat next to Gu Weize and said, "Behave better, you know each other, Chen Tao and Liu Song are my third year in high school At that time, those two great masters of learning."
"Is Xiaoyan stronger than them now?"
"No, don't talk nonsense, how can I be better than the god of learning? It's impossible." An Yan shook his head to himself, and sent Chen Tao the location of his home by the way.After a while, Chen Tao and Liu Song arrived at An Yan's home.Not only did Chen Tao come by himself, he also brought a little guy with him.He looks only four or five years old, simple and honest and cute.
Chen Tao said embarrassingly, "My sister's child, there is no way to shirk it at all. The adults went out to play and asked me to take care of the child at home. I can only bring him here."
"It's okay, anyway, someone from my side will bring it for us." An Yan said, pointing to Gu Weize who was sitting on the sofa and playing with his mobile phone, "It just so happens that Gu Weize came to play today, let him take the baby."
"..." Gu Wei had no choice but to help take care of the child.
The three sat in the dining room, took out documents and materials, and began to study the solution of twin prime numbers.
"Last time An Yan said to use the sieve method, but after I used it, there seems to be no progress." Liu Song took out his draft paper and said, "No, after using the sieve method, I met another problem."
The two looked at the draft paper for a while and said, "There is no way, but there should be nothing wrong with the screening method. We may need to change our thinking." An Yan rubbed his head and thought.
The twin prime number conjecture, also known as the twin prime number conjecture.This conjecture was formally proposed by Hilbert at the International Congress of Mathematicians in 1900. This problem can be described as follows: there are infinitely many prime numbers p such that p+2 is a prime number. ①
In 1921, British mathematicians Godfrey Hardy and John Littlewood proposed a conjecture similar to the Polignacer conjecture, commonly known as the "Hardy-Littlewood conjecture" or "strong "Twin prime conjecture" (that is, an enhanced version of the twin prime conjecture).This conjecture not only proposes that there are infinitely many pairs of twin primes, but also gives their asymptotic distribution form. ②
To solve this problem, there is indeed nothing wrong with using the sieve method.An Yan was right, but the problem was too complicated to solve the twin prime number conjecture, not to mention that they were only college students. From 1900 to 2011, in the history of more than 100 years, countless mathematicians followed suit, but none of them succeeded.How can it be possible that they will succeed in their research at the beginning?
Dr. Weiteng said that An Yan needed to seek a breakthrough in twin prime numbers before he would send An Yan an offer. In essence, he was not very optimistic about this subject.
Although the unraveling of the twin prime number conjecture cannot win the Fields Medal, it is very close to the Fields Medal.
Twin prime numbers belong to the scope of analytic number theory, that is, they need to use commonly used number theory methods to solve this world-class problem.The three of them spent a whole day on it, and they got almost nothing.
Until An Yan's parents came home, they were still lying on the table and continued to discuss, and they didn't say a reason.
"Are you still discussing seriously?" Liu Shan spoke softly to the three of them, and Chen Tao said with a wry smile, "Auntie, let's just take a look."
"Hehe." Liu Shan smiled, but didn't speak.No one in An Yan's family can talk about mathematics.
Liu Song glanced at An Yan's parents, coughed lightly and said, "Let's get here first, we have to go home for dinner."
"Let's stay and eat, it's no trouble, we have already prepared the meal." An Zhi asked Chen Tao and Liu Song to stay.
"No, no. We still have relatives at home, so we won't stay here for now." Chen Tao hastily stopped, and left An Yan's house with the child and Liu Song.
After they left, An Yan was still holding the draft paper and looking at the numbers on it, thinking about how to solve the twin prime number conjecture.
It's not about going to Princeton, it's about his interest.Apart from this mathematics, An Yan has no interest in pure mathematical conjectures at all.Unless it is a mathematical conjecture that intersects mathematics and physics, because such a mathematical conjecture is not only conducive to the development of mathematics, but also conducive to the development of physics.
He didn't have more energy to strengthen the two subjects of mathematics and physics, and the focus must be on physics.And if he wants to learn physics well, in addition to mathematics, chemistry is also indispensable, which means that he has to study three subjects alone.Thinking about it, I feel that I am already very tired, and it is very difficult for myself.
"Xiao Gu wants to stay for dinner
Outstanding alumni include the well-known Yau Shing Tong, Wu Jianxiong and other big names.
As for Stanford University, not to mention, mathematics ranks No. 4 in the world, physics ranks No. 2, and even chemistry ranks No. 2 in the world.This is the best choice for a science student. As for Princeton University—of course, Princeton University is very good, especially in mathematics and physics, but in chemistry.There is really no comparison between Princeton and Stanford.
In fact, the place An Yan wants to go the most right now is Stanford University, but the offer from Stanford University is really hard to get.And now Dr. Witten, who has the highest H index in physics, is a professor at Princeton University, and what Professor Benson means is that Dr. Witten can teach a lot of knowledge that he can't teach.
But like this kind of top university in the world, he can't go anywhere he wants.
There are many issues that need to be considered, and it is not a problem for An Yan to think about it now.He decided not to think about it, but looked at Professor Li. At this time, Professor Li was holding the phone and talking to the other end of the phone.After a while, Professor Li hung up the phone, smiled at An Yan and said, "Those little bastards have stood the test, they didn't leave the laboratory. Let's go, let's go see them now." what are you doing?"
Although Beijing University is not a top university in the world, as Huaguo's strength continues to grow, Beijing University is also a world-renowned university.
Such a university will naturally not produce a group of idiots.An Yan followed Professor Li, and the two walked towards the laboratory.When I came to the laboratory, I saw that the people in the laboratory were doing their own things, and the scene was still very quiet.After watching for a while, An Yan nodded slightly in her heart.What this group of students did was exactly the same as the experiments he had done before.
At this time, a student stepped forward and said to Professor Li, "Professor, we have done it dozens of times, but unfortunately, we haven't analyzed it yet."
"You don't need to analyze it." Professor Li waved his hand, "I brought him to you today, if you have any questions, you can ask him directly!"
An Yan froze for a moment, then turned her head stiffly to look at Professor Li next to her.This is to bring him to guide his students?But he is still a student.
"Ahem." An Yan coughed lightly, "Then what, I did this experiment purely by luck, and I have nothing to say. You all know what I know. Moreover, I also learned from the literature. For the knowledge I have learned, I believe that the literature and materials of Peking University should not be less than those of the University of Zurich."
While An Yan was speaking, the students also looked at An Yan curiously.
Is the guy in front of me who looks less than 20 years old the Zurich university student who made a breakthrough in graphene?No matter how they look at it, they feel that graphene's breakthrough has nothing to do with the kid in front of him who looks only in his teens.It's a pity that the graphene breakthrough is not only related to An Yan, but also very closely related.
"Don't listen to his nonsense. Although he doesn't have as much experience in experimenting as you, he has a much more accurate grasp of the experimental data than you." When he said this, Professor Li sat leisurely On the chair at the side, "If you have any questions, you should ask them as soon as possible. After passing this village, there will be no such shop."
After finishing speaking, Professor Li sat aside to rest by himself, and pushed everything to An Yan.
An Yan, who was surrounded by Professor Li's students, felt that this trip to Beijing University was not good at all, not at all!In this way, I discussed with the students for a long time. Occasionally, Professor Li would interject a few words. Most of the time, An Yan was communicating with the students.Before I knew it, it was almost time for lunch.
At this time, the professor pulled An Yan out of the laboratory, and left a sentence, "You guys do the experiment well, and I will come back to see you later."
After leaving the laboratory with An Yan, Professor Li Bo asked, "How is my student doing?"
"It's okay." An Yan said dumbfounded, "Then what do you mean by pushing me out?"
"What can I mean? Isn't this for you to get acquainted with each other in advance? In the future, we will study graphene together." Professor Li Bo touched An Yan with his hand, and the corner of An Yan's mouth twitched slightly and said, " You have the nerve to say that?"
"Why am I embarrassed? I did this for the sake of better cooperation between you in the future." When talking about this, Professor Li Bo touched An Yan with his elbow, and said with a smile, "I said An Yan Ah, so you are angry?"
"It's not that angry." An Yan touched the bridge of his nose, and then said seriously, "I just didn't expect you to be such a professor."
"What kind of professor?" Li Bo wanted to hear An Yan's evaluation.
Logically speaking, it is actually impossible for An Yan to talk to him like this. He is a university professor anyway, so he is somewhat dignified.It's just that he and An Yan got closer, so he didn't care about it so much.Otherwise, depending on the tone An Yan spoke to him, if Li Bo did something serious, it would be almost impossible for An Yan to see some big dog.At least until he has a certain status in the academic world, I am afraid that no one will want him when he returns to China.
"How should I put it..." An Yan thought for a while and said, "It's just that it's a bit different from other professors. I can't say for sure. Anyway, I just feel that it's a bit different from other professors."
"Really?" Professor Li raised his eyebrows, "Are you praising me, or are you hurting me?"
"what do you think?"
"I just thought you were praising me." Professor Li didn't care so much with An Yan, and they arrived at their destination after talking.It's not far from Beijing University, so I came to the hotel and entered the box.Then An Yan saw a middle-aged man with a big belly and several young people were already sitting at the dining table. The middle-aged man stood up and went up to Professor Li and said, "Professor Li has been gone for a while, and I went to a physics academic conference before." how do you feel?"
"It's okay." Professor Li Bo said indifferently, "Anyway, it's those topics every year, such as quantum mechanics, astrophysics, etc., just to discuss the universe. I don't think Mr. Sun will be interested in these Bar?"
The middle-aged man named Mr. Sun smiled cheerfully, "Professor is right, I'm really not particularly interested in these things. You know, I'm more pragmatic, at least what I can do in recent years, I think you can tell me about it.” When Mr. Sun said this, he suddenly seemed to think of something, “By the way, I remember that at this year’s physics academic conference, there were researchers from Huaguo who were working in graphite. Is there a breakthrough in ene?"
"Of course." Professor Li Bo shook his head while talking, which made Mr. Sun dumbfounded. He shook his head again, and said that of course, this is not just replying to him that there is such a thing?Why did he say something wrong?
Mr. Sun looked at Professor Li Bo in surprise, and asked humbly, "Professor Li, what did I say wrong?"
"It is indeed our Huaguo, but you made two mistakes. First, he is not a student of our Huaguo school, and second, he is a student of the University of Zurich."
"The University of Zurich, a school in Europe, is a bit far away. You said that if he was in China..."
"Mr. Sun seems to be very interested in this?"
"It must be interesting. That's graphene, one of the main energy sources in the future. Can I not be interested?"
"That's true." Professor Li Bo smiled and said, "So, I brought you someone today."
As he spoke, Professor Li Bo pointed to An Yan beside him and said, "Professor Benson's student, An Yan, is from the Department of Physics at the University of Zurich. You have met Professor Benson several times, Mr. Sun, have you not forgotten?"
"No, I haven't forgotten." Mr. Sun's eyes shifted to An Yan. He originally thought that Professor Li Bo brought his students here.Unexpectedly, he was a student of Professor Benson. Mr. Sun stretched out his hand cheerfully and said, "It turns out that he is a student of Professor Benson. It's a pleasure to meet you."
Is the scene just so polite?An Yan was not suitable for this kind of scene, so he stretched out his hand in embarrassment and whispered, "Hello, Mr. Sun."
"Come on, Professor Li, Mr. Ann, please sit down and talk."
After An Yan and Professor Li Bo sat down, Mr. Sun said, "So, Mr. An made a breakthrough on graphene?"
"Mr. Sun, I don't believe that the physics academic conference is over, and you haven't done your homework. This is not your style."
Mr. Sun was exposed by Professor Li Bo, but he was not panicked at all. Instead, he said very calmly, "We have read Mr. An's graphene experiment report, and it is very professional."
Professor Li continued to disrupt the situation without hesitation, "If Mr. Sun could understand the experimental report, he would not come here to approach me."
Mr. Sun said calmly, "Of course, professional things have to be done by professionals."
"To be honest, we are very optimistic about Mr. An's next experiment." Mr. Sun looked at An Yan and said, "Mr. An is still planning to continue the research on graphene, right?"
"That's right, the research on graphene will definitely continue. I want to use graphene to make batteries first. Then apply this technology to other products."
"The concept is very good, and we are also very optimistic about Mr. An's project." Mr. Sun glanced at Professor Li Bo, then at An Yan, and he already understood it.Professor Li Bo brought An Yan to meet him, but the meaning was obvious.Lack of investment, their Huaxia Investment Group is still very interested in this high-tech product that can be used immediately.
Although it will take three to five years to get on board, Huaxia Investment Group really does not lack such a little time to wait.
"Then, Mr. An, you are studying at the University of Zurich." Mr. Sun's tone was not too bad, he stared at An Yan for a long time, and then said, "Then when you were doing a project at the University of Zurich, did you Professor Benson is in charge of the research group or is someone else in charge of the research group?"
"I'm in charge now." An Yan understood when he heard Mr. Sun say this. Sun always wanted to find out who was in charge of this project.
And he didn't hide from Mr. Sun that this project was indeed the one he was in charge of, so there was nothing wrong with him saying it was him.Professor Li Bo chimed in and said, "I met Professor Benson at a physics academic conference before, and Professor Benson has given him the responsibility for this subject."
General Manager Sun smiled, "Mr. An is very optimistic about the future of graphene, right?"
"Mr. Sun, shouldn't I ask you whether you are optimistic about the future of graphene?" An Yan asked Mr. Sun, "If you want to ask me whether I am optimistic about the future of graphene, of course I will answer that you are very optimistic about the future of graphene. The future of graphene is very good."
"The foreground application is very extensive." When An Yan said this, he looked at Mr. Sun's face.Finding that Mr. Sun still seemed to be calm, he sighed secretly in his heart that he was indeed a business elite who had been in the mall for a long time, and he would not give him any expressions or feedback.
But even so, An Yan still said in a serious manner, "What I am doing now is graphene batteries. This technology is not yet mature, but I believe that when it matures in the future, graphene can be used in many fields. Graphene As a material discovered only a few years ago, ethylene has a very broad application space. I believe Mr. Sun has also heard these words, and he has heard them many times."
"That's right, many people talked to me about how promising graphene is. In fact, we all know about it, but the problem is that they will talk about it. When we really do this thing , and I can’t do it well. To be honest, I really have a hard time agreeing with some researchers.” Mr. Sun glanced at Professor Li Bo, and said, “Of course, such a highly respected Peking University professor like Professor Li must be different. of."
Professor Li Bo sneered and said, "Is Sun always praising me, or hurting me?"
"Of course I'm praising the professor, the professor is so powerful." Mr. Sun said with a smile, "Otherwise, how could it be possible for the professor to call us here?"
"Hehe." Professor Li Bo smiled and didn't continue talking, and Mr. Sun said eloquently, "Speaking of which, Mr. An is doing the experiment alone this time or..." Mr. Sun's eyes were on An Yan and Li Bo. The professors moved back and forth, obviously he wanted to ask An Yan whether this experiment was done by himself or jointly with Professor Li Bo and the others.
An Yan looked at Mr. Sun and said, "It should be a joint research with the research group of Peking University."
Mr. Sun outlined a smile, "How long does Mr. An think he can make a breakthrough?"
An Yan spread his hands and said, "It's really hard for me to answer this question. After all, I don't know how long it will take to make a breakthrough. This kind of thing is not something I can say when I can break through. This point , I believe you know it in your heart, don’t you?”
Mr. Sun thought for a while, "Mr. An didn't mean that I don't trust you, or that I don't want to invest in you. It's because you are too young. You also know that there is an old saying in our Hua country, that is, if you have no hair on your mouth, you can't do things well. "
"..." An Yan looked at Mr. Sun quietly and did not speak to defend himself, just looking at him directly.Mr. Sun was somewhat embarrassed at this time, it was the first time he was looked at like this.He pondered and said, "Well, since we are cooperating with Peking University, I can still invest. But I hope you can make some results as soon as possible. I remember that foreign countries, especially the United States, are almost at the expense of this aspect. The results have been produced. Mr. An is from this area, and he knows that according to the American character of bluffing and not knowing how to hide, what they announced is almost the latest results. In addition, you gave this thing to me before. They have made a breakthrough, and they have overcome many difficulties..."
"I understand what you mean. What you mean is that I strive to make results before the labs in the United States make results and establish patent barriers. Is that what you mean?" Patent barriers are a good thing, If anyone establishes a patent barrier, if anyone wants to use the patent of this thing in the future, he must pay part of the money to the company and individual who established the patent barrier.
This is a very generous income, not to mention Mr. Sun, even An Yan himself wants this income very much.
You must know that this is a patent barrier. As long as you need to use graphene as a battery in the future, you will have to pay them money, and there may even be a situation of dividends.Even if it is a one-time payment, it is necessary to hand over a huge sum of money.
"Mr. Sun still has this news?" An Yan raised his eyebrows and looked at Mr. Sun firmly.He didn't know that Huaxia Investment Group was so clear about these matters. As expected, Huaxia Investment Group has been staring at America's work.
"If we don't even know what the United States has done, we can't be a state-owned enterprise. You say it, Mr. An!" Mr. Sun said and put it on the table, and his eyes didn't know where he was staring.
An Yan thought for a while, "Mr. Sun, I can't guarantee that I can make graphene batteries before the United States. I can only say that I will do my best to cooperate with Professor Li's team to make graphene batteries as soon as possible." An Yan After finishing speaking, he paused, "And it is very likely that I will not continue my studies at the University of Zurich this year or next year, and may go to a school in the United States."
"Oh?" President Sun became interested, "Mr. An is going to a school in the United States? I am quite familiar with schools in the United States. I wonder what school Mr. An wants to go to?"
"You don't have to worry about that." Professor Li Bo said, "Professor Benson introduced him to Professor Witten from Princeton University, who is the leading professor in physics."
"So that's how it is." Mr. Sun has a general understanding of An Yan, a genius boy, and he does things well.Otherwise, Professor Li Bo would not introduce him to him, and Mr. Sun is quite easy to accept the person introduced by Professor Li Bo.After all, it has been a pleasure to cooperate with Professor Li Bo many times.
Naturally, the person he introduced, Mr. Sun also thinks there is no major problem.Now that he was thinking about how to formulate the contract, Mr. Sun asked An Yan, "Does Mr. An have any requirements for the contract?"
"The first work is mine, and the patent right belongs to me and Huaxia Investment Group. What do you think, Mr. Sun?"
"No problem." Mr. Sun is not interested in papers, and there is no problem with the first or second work, the corresponding author.This matter should not be negotiated with him, but with Professor Li Bo next to him.But An Yan was able to say such a thing, obviously because he had negotiated with Professor Li Bo.
Since Professor Li Bo has no problem, he has no objection.As for the patent rights being shared by him and the Huaxia Group, there is no problem.The Huaxia Group is the investor, and An Yan is the one doing research and development.If there is no research and development person, no matter how rich Huaxia Investment Group is, it will not be able to change it out of thin air.In addition, Mr. Sun thinks that An Yan is someone who can make friends.He felt that An Yan might have greater achievements in the future, and now that giving up half of the patent rights to An Yan can be regarded as making friends with a future great scientist, and there will be more opportunities for cooperation in the future.There is no need to kill the chicken to get the eggs. As a businessman, Professor Li Bo is very clear about this.
"So when will Mr. An be free to sign the contract?" They didn't prepare the contract at this time, they had to negotiate the conditions first, and after the two parties signed the contract, Huaxia Investment Group would transfer the project funds to An Yan.
"When you have time to draw up the contract, let's sign the contract with the three parties." This is a three-party contract. The teamwork of An Yan and Professor Li Bo of Jingda University, and the investment from Huaxia Investment Group, is naturally a three-party contract. contract.
After An Yan left an email, he had a meal with Mr. Sun and Professor Li. Before he was about to board the plane, Mr. Sun asked his assistant to book a plane ticket for An Yan.
An Yan was a little embarrassed, originally he wanted to buy a ticket before going to the airport.Unexpectedly, President Sun had already ordered his assistant to buy the ticket, and when he was going to the airport, it was also President Sun's assistant who drove An Yan to the airport.
After boarding the plane, An Yan breathed a sigh of relief.The funding problem has been solved, and the next step is the technical problem.Graphene is not so easy to study.He is not wrong, he can only guarantee that this thing will be researched as soon as possible. If he is to research it in a few years, even in recent years, An Yan himself does not believe that he can do it so quickly. Just research it.
This thing can only be done slowly, and there is still the issue of twin primes.
Why does An Yan feel that Chen Tao and Liu Song are going to be angry? The problem is that after he studies this topic, he may be able to go to a top university in the world like Princeton, while Chen Tao and Liu Song can only go to ETH Zurich, which is next door to the University of Zurich. college.
The gap between ETH Zurich and Princeton University is still obvious, especially in mathematics and physics.The intention of Chen Tao and Liu Song is very simple, that is, to make some achievements in mathematics, but as the best school in mathematics, Princeton University is very difficult to apply for, and it is very difficult to get a letter of recommendation.
So An Yan was afraid that Chen Tao and Liu Song would have opinions on him, and after he returned to Yucheng, he would have to interview the students recruited by the professor.In fact, he did have a lot of things to do. After sending a message to Gu Weize, An Yan turned off his phone and got on the plane directly.
When we arrived at Yucheng Airport, it was already past five in the afternoon, and the sky was already dark.Walking out of the airport, he saw Gu Weize and his father waiting for him outside the airport, and waved to him.
"Xiao Yan, you are here." An Zhi smiled when he saw An Yan, "How did Xiao Yan talk with the investor today?"
"It's almost the end of the negotiation. After signing the three-party contract in a few days, they mean to build a patent barrier. That is, if anyone wants to use graphene technology in the future, they need to give us a sum of money. However, such things as patent barriers are not easy to do. Now that the research on graphene in the United States has been very in-depth, I even doubt that they have made many breakthroughs, but they have not announced the results." An Yan scratched his head and thought for a while, then He continued, "Now we can only take one step at a time."
Gu Wei sat next to An Yan, just like listening to a scripture, he kept listening to An Yan, but couldn't understand what An Yan was talking about.Can only sit aside and continue to listen.An Zhi actually didn't understand too much, he just nodded and said, "Xiao Yan, have you considered what you told me last time?"
"Dad." An Yan raised her head and said, covering her forehead with her hands, "I still haven't figured out where to go."
"Where are you going?" Gu Wei seemed to have grasped the key words, "What is Xiaoyan going to do?"
"Study." An Zhi answered Gu Weize's doubts with ease.
"No, isn't Xiao Yan studying at the University of Zurich now? Where else do you want to study?"
"Hey, I heard from him that his professor asked him to go to Princeton University in the United States." An Zhinu pouted, "You should ask Xiaoyan about the specific situation."
Gu Wei turned his head and looked at An Yan, blinking his eyes.
Unable to stand Gu Weize's gaze, An Yan said, "The professor asked me to study at Princeton University, because the academic atmosphere of Princeton University is much better than that of Zurich University. Besides, the mathematics and physics of Princeton University are located in the world. The top level, for me personally, still has a lot of room for improvement.”
"However, in fact, I want to go to Stanford University. Stanford University not only performs very well in mathematics and physics, but also performs extremely well in chemistry. They are all among the top disciplines in the world, and there are many in physics. Things are connected with chemistry. It can be said that the three subjects of mathematics, physics and chemistry are interdisciplinary subjects, and they are used quite frequently in practice. My idea is that I can study in the Department of Physics at Stanford University. You can go to the Department of Mathematics and Department of Chemistry for a while." After An Yan finished explaining, Gu Wei still seemed to half understand.
"Xiao Yan is really amazing, and now he can go to such a world-class prestigious school." He had never heard of Princeton University and Stanford University, so he asked a stupid question, "What about Harvard University? Why not go to Harvard University?" ?”
"Ahem." An Yan coughed lightly, "In terms of performance in literature and history, Harvard University is definitely the strongest. But in science, Harvard University is completely inferior to MIT, Stanford, and the University of California. Berkeley and Princeton University. To be precise, the science class should be the best. For example, MIT is the best in physics, and Princeton University is the best in mathematics. Each university has its own advantages. Only MIT can't go."
"Why, why?"
"The rise of MIT is inseparable from the national defense of the United States. Do you think I can go to MIT?"
"That's right. If you go there, Xiaoyan may not be able to return to China." Gu Wei grabbed a handful of hair, "Is there anything going on after Xiaoyan returns to China? Will he still be busy?"
"I'm busy, and I have to do something for the professor. I have a twin prime number research group here. If I can complete this research project, I will almost be able to get offers from those famous schools." After An Yan finished speaking , turned his head to look at Gu Weize and said, "Why, you don't seem very happy."
"No way." Gu Wei forced a smile, "Xiao Yan, you're so powerful, I'm too late to be happy, how could I be in a bad mood."
"Hehe..." An Yan sneered and stopped talking, while Gu Wei opened his mouth and didn't continue talking.
He thought in his heart that he was indeed becoming more and more unworthy of An Yan.Listen, what is An Yan talking about?The world's top schools do some academic content that he can't understand at all.He felt that An Yan was playing the piano against the cow when talking to him.
Back home, An Yan rested for a day.This year itself is not going back to his hometown, and An Yan has no time to go back to his hometown.After arriving home, before he had time to eat, he called Chen Tao first.It's time for Chen Tao to come back and work with him on the subject of twin prime numbers.
"An Yan, what's the matter?" Chen Tao's phone was not as noisy as last time, and his voice was much lighter, "Going back to China?"
"Well, I've arrived in Yucheng, where are you? How about we start discussing the topic of twin prime numbers tomorrow?"
"Are you in such a hurry?" Chen Tao said with a smile on the other end of the phone, "Well, I'll call Liu Song and ask him to come over and discuss with us the subject of daring to twin prime numbers. When and where is tomorrow ?”
"Ten o'clock tomorrow morning? At my house or where you choose?"
"Then it will be at your house." Chen Tao answered An Yan after thinking for a while, and then hung up the phone.It happened that Gu Weize's parents also came to An Yan's house.
"Old An, I heard that your family is happy?" Gu Wei sat obediently beside his father without saying a word, and An Zhi said cheerfully, "We will go to Princeton University after the banquet."
"Princeton University?" Li Xia took a breath, "I heard that school is very good? Why didn't Xiaoyan go to Harvard University?"
"Princeton University's Department of Mathematics is the number one in the world, but this is something that has not yet been established, so it can't be taken seriously." An Yan shook his head and said, "It seems difficult for Dr. Witten to accept me."
"You boy..." Gu Weize's father scolded An Yan with a smile, and everyone began to eat happily.
…………
Waking up the next morning, An Yan turned on her phone and took a look.Well, it was only past nine o'clock, and he washed up and had a breakfast.Gu Weize came to his house early, and An Yan asked Gu Weize to sit on the sofa by himself, and said, "You have fun by yourself, and some classmates will come to the house later, so don't make trouble for me."
"Ah?" Gu Wei was stunned for a moment, "Why do some classmates come to the house today? What do you want?"
"Study the subject, what else can it be?" An Yan stretched his waist, sat next to Gu Weize and said, "Behave better, you know each other, Chen Tao and Liu Song are my third year in high school At that time, those two great masters of learning."
"Is Xiaoyan stronger than them now?"
"No, don't talk nonsense, how can I be better than the god of learning? It's impossible." An Yan shook his head to himself, and sent Chen Tao the location of his home by the way.After a while, Chen Tao and Liu Song arrived at An Yan's home.Not only did Chen Tao come by himself, he also brought a little guy with him.He looks only four or five years old, simple and honest and cute.
Chen Tao said embarrassingly, "My sister's child, there is no way to shirk it at all. The adults went out to play and asked me to take care of the child at home. I can only bring him here."
"It's okay, anyway, someone from my side will bring it for us." An Yan said, pointing to Gu Weize who was sitting on the sofa and playing with his mobile phone, "It just so happens that Gu Weize came to play today, let him take the baby."
"..." Gu Wei had no choice but to help take care of the child.
The three sat in the dining room, took out documents and materials, and began to study the solution of twin prime numbers.
"Last time An Yan said to use the sieve method, but after I used it, there seems to be no progress." Liu Song took out his draft paper and said, "No, after using the sieve method, I met another problem."
The two looked at the draft paper for a while and said, "There is no way, but there should be nothing wrong with the screening method. We may need to change our thinking." An Yan rubbed his head and thought.
The twin prime number conjecture, also known as the twin prime number conjecture.This conjecture was formally proposed by Hilbert at the International Congress of Mathematicians in 1900. This problem can be described as follows: there are infinitely many prime numbers p such that p+2 is a prime number. ①
In 1921, British mathematicians Godfrey Hardy and John Littlewood proposed a conjecture similar to the Polignacer conjecture, commonly known as the "Hardy-Littlewood conjecture" or "strong "Twin prime conjecture" (that is, an enhanced version of the twin prime conjecture).This conjecture not only proposes that there are infinitely many pairs of twin primes, but also gives their asymptotic distribution form. ②
To solve this problem, there is indeed nothing wrong with using the sieve method.An Yan was right, but the problem was too complicated to solve the twin prime number conjecture, not to mention that they were only college students. From 1900 to 2011, in the history of more than 100 years, countless mathematicians followed suit, but none of them succeeded.How can it be possible that they will succeed in their research at the beginning?
Dr. Weiteng said that An Yan needed to seek a breakthrough in twin prime numbers before he would send An Yan an offer. In essence, he was not very optimistic about this subject.
Although the unraveling of the twin prime number conjecture cannot win the Fields Medal, it is very close to the Fields Medal.
Twin prime numbers belong to the scope of analytic number theory, that is, they need to use commonly used number theory methods to solve this world-class problem.The three of them spent a whole day on it, and they got almost nothing.
Until An Yan's parents came home, they were still lying on the table and continued to discuss, and they didn't say a reason.
"Are you still discussing seriously?" Liu Shan spoke softly to the three of them, and Chen Tao said with a wry smile, "Auntie, let's just take a look."
"Hehe." Liu Shan smiled, but didn't speak.No one in An Yan's family can talk about mathematics.
Liu Song glanced at An Yan's parents, coughed lightly and said, "Let's get here first, we have to go home for dinner."
"Let's stay and eat, it's no trouble, we have already prepared the meal." An Zhi asked Chen Tao and Liu Song to stay.
"No, no. We still have relatives at home, so we won't stay here for now." Chen Tao hastily stopped, and left An Yan's house with the child and Liu Song.
After they left, An Yan was still holding the draft paper and looking at the numbers on it, thinking about how to solve the twin prime number conjecture.
It's not about going to Princeton, it's about his interest.Apart from this mathematics, An Yan has no interest in pure mathematical conjectures at all.Unless it is a mathematical conjecture that intersects mathematics and physics, because such a mathematical conjecture is not only conducive to the development of mathematics, but also conducive to the development of physics.
He didn't have more energy to strengthen the two subjects of mathematics and physics, and the focus must be on physics.And if he wants to learn physics well, in addition to mathematics, chemistry is also indispensable, which means that he has to study three subjects alone.Thinking about it, I feel that I am already very tired, and it is very difficult for myself.
