After ending the call with Terence Tao, Xu Chuan put down his phone, looked at the manuscript paper on the table and let out a long sigh of relief.
He actually had no idea whether he could solve the Riemann Hypothesis.
After all, I cannot say that the Riemann Hypothesis is the most difficult problem in mathematics today. At least, among the seven millennium problems, it should be the most difficult and the most influential.
Since Riemann proposed this conjecture in the middle of the 19th century, after more than 150 years, there are still not many breakthroughs in the Riemann Hypothesis, and there are not even many results that come close to it, which shows how difficult it is.
Of course, the mere age of a conjecture cannot fully explain the difficulty, value and influence of a conjecture.
For example, Goldbach's conjecture is known as the crown jewel of mathematics. It has been almost three hundred years since it was proposed, and no one has solved it yet.
But when the mathematical community selected the seven major problems in the 21st century, they did not include them.
He really didn't have much confidence that he could solve the Riemann Hypothesis.
but......
Looking at the manuscript paper on the table, Xu Chuan's mouth curved up with a smile.
Although he is not sure of solving the Riemann Hypothesis, he can still make some breakthroughs and weaken it to solve some of the problems!
Although it has not started yet, there are still many problems that need to be solved.
But at least, a complete train of thought was now completed by him.
The rest is to develop along this line of thinking.
Xu Chuan doesn't know how far it can go, but he knows very well that compared to the current research on the Riemann Hypothesis in the mathematical community, this time will definitely be a huge breakthrough!
Because, when 00.4N in mathematics, this is undoubtedly a huge breakthrough!
...
For Xu Chuan, locking himself in a villa to study the Riemann Hypothesis can actually be said to be a very "refreshing" thing for him.
Especially in the case of such a major breakthrough, he can gain far more pleasure than doing other things outside.
But for others, Xu Chuan not going out is a big deal.
Not to mention other things, the Xinghai Research Institute is almost in a state of panic.
The lunar biosphere project and the establishment of lunar scientific research outpost bases are still waiting for Xu Chuan to take charge.
Although Xu Chuan had already arranged most of the work before, academician Chang Huaxiang and Weng Yunzong were in charge of the work in the aerospace field. In addition to the energy side, other research institutes were developing second-generation controllable nuclear fusion technology.
, and there isn’t much other important work.
But many times, without him as the general person in charge, neither Chang Huaxiang nor Weng Yunzong can make the final decision on some key matters, and even the space agency cannot handle them directly.
For example, several middle-aged men from the Middle East wearing white robes, headscarves and full beards have been waiting at Xinghai Research Institute for several days.
Regarding the arrival of representatives from these countries in the Middle East, not to mention the top management of Xinghai Research Institute, even the space agency is not very clear about it.
Although the construction of the lunar biosphere project has been determined and countries around the world will be invited to participate, high-level officials are still arranging relevant work.
The representatives from the Middle East were invited by Xu Chuan's assistant.
Now that the other party is here, he has gone off to do other things, which is really a headache.
...
At the foot of Purple Mountain, among the villas.
Because of Xu Chuan's relationship, the security of this villa complex at the foot of Purple Mountain has been greatly improved, with 360-degree surveillance and overt and covert security, layer after layer.
It can be said that even if a fly flies in, they can identify the male and female immediately.
Zheng Hai stayed in another small villa nearby, looking at Xu Chuan through the fence, holding a cigarette with only the butt left in his hand, squinting in the sun.
This is not the first time he has done this. When Xu Chuan was studying mathematical problems, he rarely went out, ranging from a few days to several months. As a personal driver and bodyguard, he basically had nothing to do during this time.
Work.
The nearby security was handed over to him. In addition to checking the work situation every day, he spent the rest of the time either training to maintain physical fitness, or sitting in the villa in the main control room responsible for security, smoking and waiting for Xu Chuan.
Exit.
"Professor, he hasn't come out yet?"
In the villa, another woman came out and asked Zheng Hai, who was basking in the sun in the courtyard. The person who walked out was Tang Sijia, Xu Chuan's medical assistant.
She glanced at the villa not far away, and a trace of worry flashed in her eyes. She had been staying in the room for almost a week without even leaving the door, which made her feel a little anxious.
Zheng Hai didn't even look back. He was basking in the sun lazily. He raised his right hand and smoked the remaining cigarette butt in his hand, then threw it into the trash can nearby and uttered one word.
"without."
"Then when will he come out?"
Zheng Hai squinted his eyes, looked at the villa not far away, and said, "I don't know."
Tang Sijia: "...I wonder what the hell it is?
Zheng Hai thought for a while and added: "He will come out after he solves the difficult problem he is studying."
This was not the first time he had encountered this situation. When Xu Chuan was studying NS equations, he had stayed in the villa for more than a month.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! It is indeed the first time to meet this assistant who was arranged later, so it is normal to be a little anxious.
Listening to Zheng Hai's words, Tang Sijia walked around in the courtyard with some distress.
She knew very well what Xu Chuan was doing in the villa, but she couldn't do this when studying difficult problems.
Staying in the villa all day, probably staying up late every day, is fine for a short time, but in the long run, how can your body withstand it?
But there was nothing she could do, this guy wouldn't listen to her at all.
After coming out of the military academy, I met such a boss when I took on the first mission. She felt that her life assistant and medical assistant were almost in name only, and the other party didn't care about her opinion at all.
It's really a headache.
In the small courtyard, Tang Sijia sighed.
e=(′o｀*))) Alas, this life assistant’s job is almost impossible...
While Tang Sijia and Zheng Hai were looking at the villa where Xu Chuan was in silence, Zheng Hai's cell phone suddenly rang in the courtyard, breaking the tranquility.
Zheng Hai quickly took out his cell phone and answered the call.
"Hey, Zheng Hai, come over here in ten minutes and take me to the Xinghai Research Institute."
Without waiting for his reply, the person on the other end of the phone hung up.
Zheng Hai didn't care, put his phone in his pocket and stood up.
"What's wrong?" Tang Sijia asked from the side.
Zheng Hai: "Professor, he is out."
Hearing this, Tang Sijia looked over in surprise and asked curiously: "Did he solve it?"
Although she had not experienced much of Xu Chuan's time in retreat to study problems, she also had an understanding of his character. If he went out while studying problems, he would either solve the problem or deny this path.
As for the rest, it can be said that there are very few things or things that can shake him.
Zheng Hai shook his head and said: "How would I know? I don't understand mathematics, and the professor didn't tell me."
It is true that he does not understand mathematics and does not know what Xu Chuan is studying, but based on his past experience, he probably has a good idea when he chooses to go out.
After all, if he doesn't solve the problem or clarify his thinking, he basically won't come out, no matter how important it is.
However, there is no need to say this kind of judgment. Whether it can be done or not is the professor's business and has nothing to do with him. They can just do their job well.
...
Ten minutes was not long. Soon, the iron gate of the yard suddenly opened with a creak, and Xu Chuan, wearing a white T-shirt, walked out of the room.
"Go to Xinghai Research Institute."
Opening the car door, Xu Chuan got in and said to Zheng Hai in front of him.
"good."
In response, Zheng Hai started the car and drove towards Xinghai Research Institute without asking any questions.
In the back seat, Xu Chuan took out his mobile phone from his pocket and browsed through the messages.
He has been studying the Riemann Hypothesis for some time. Although communication with the outside world was not interrupted during this period, he did not read the news most of the time.
It just so happens that I will have some time in the car so I can do some simple tidying up.
As for the quasi-Riemann Hypothesis, although it has not been proven yet, he already has the ideas and methods, so there is no need to be too hasty.
On the contrary, representatives from the countries in the Middle East that Assistant Qin Yue had been asked to contact had already arranged for them to come over.
Building a biosphere project on the moon requires a huge amount of money.
With multiple billion-level projects such as manned spaceflight and the Large Strong Particle Collider being launched at the same time, coupled with various domestic infrastructure projects, even China, which is now the largest country in the world in terms of economic aggregate, has
It will be difficult to allocate large amounts of funds to carry out another mega project.
After all, there are many places to spend your money.
But the situation is different in those areas in the Middle East.
Although the price of oil has plummeted with the realization of controllable nuclear fusion technology, it cannot stop others from having mines at home.
No, other countries have their own mines. Countries in the Middle East such as Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates have their own mines. It is so outrageous that oil can come out just by digging.
All we can say is that even if oil prices plummet, people are still wealthy.
...
Although Jinling has officially entered autumn in September, it is one of the hottest months of the year.
The autumn tiger exudes a scorching temperature, baking the steel and iron bones of the city.
After getting off the Hongqi car, Xu Chuan walked towards his office.
"Professor, you are here."
In the partitioned assistant room, Qin Yue, who was busy with her work, stood up quickly after seeing Xu Chuan and said hello.
Xu Chuan nodded and said, "Well, are the representatives from the Middle East still there? How long will it take for Director Wu of the Space Administration to arrive?"
Although he needs to find some support from these big families in the Middle East for some funds, he doesn't want to argue with a group of people.
After being interrupted this time to study, the main reason was that the big dogs in the Middle East wanted to meet with him. In addition, it was originally invited by him, so he didn't think so much at the beginning, otherwise this kind of thing related to international cooperation.
, it is best to leave it to the state.
Of course, for this cooperation, he also contacted Director Wu Yuankang of the Space Administration to prepare for a three-party meeting. He came over to show up, and then left the rest to Director Wu to handle.
Qin Yue nodded and reported quickly: "The representatives from the Middle East are currently staying in the hotel, and it will take about an hour for Director Wu to arrive."
Xu Chuan: "Okay, please contact the representatives from the Middle East. I'm already here. There will be a meeting at the Xinghai Research Institute in two hours to discuss the lunar surface project. Please arrange for them to come over."
"good."
Qin Yue nodded, responded, and then asked: "Is there anything else? Professor."
"No more." Xu Chuan responded, thought about something again, and shouted quickly: "By the way, wait a minute, arrange for a few people to help me sort out the papers from the four major journals in mathematics in the past two years. It doesn't have to be all.
Just pick some valuable ones and send them to me after sorting them out."
"In addition, collect papers and information about the Riemann Hypothesis. These papers have been published in official journals, have an impact factor of more than 5, or have been cited more than 20 times. Collect them all and send them over together."
In the past two years, his energy has been focused on the application field, and he pays little attention to the development of the mathematics community. He even has no time to read papers.
Just as his work in the aerospace field had come to an end for the time being, he was also studying the Riemann Hypothesis and had time to read through some past papers.
Qin Yue nodded, wrote down the work and asked: "How do you classify the value of mathematics journal papers? Professor, do you have standards?"
Xu Chuan smiled and said: "Just ask the math experts at the Institute of Natural Sciences for this. They know how to deal with it."
In addition to the four major research institutes, Xinghai Research Institute actually has some other departments.
For example, the Institute of Natural Sciences has not many scholars and researchers there, and some even hold positions in the four major research institutes. The purpose is to cooperate with the development of the four major research institutes in the application field and analyze related theories.
However, in the past two years, with the recruitment and recruitment of talents, the Institute of Natural Sciences has also had many talents of its own, and even corresponding departments such as mathematics, physics, and chemistry have been established below, which can be regarded as forming
own system.
However, compared with the increasingly large four major research institutes, there is still a long way to go.
Xu Chuan is not in a hurry. Climbing in the field of natural science is not an easy task. Talents need to be accumulated. Let’s develop this slowly.
Besides, his current energy is not on this.
When he has more time in the future, he will cooperate with the Xinghai Research Institute to create his own journal, which should speed up the pace a lot.
