From small town scholar to chief scientist

Chapter 100 Communication with the Philippine Award Winner
March 26,

Zhou Yi felt that class was a waste of time, so he came to Dean Miao Lai's office.

"Dean, I don't want to go to class anymore, it's a waste of time, I want to read the literature alone."

Miao Lai didn't have any comments, but said:

"Well, if you want to go, you can go if you don't want to. I'll say hello to the teacher in charge of the class, but this year your graduation thesis should be at least an SCI in District 1, regardless of the direction."

As for the four major journals, Miao Lai did not think that such a level of papers could be published at the current level of the Book of Changes.

The entire Chongqing University has published three papers in the four major journals. After so many years since its establishment, there are only three papers.

And it was published in cooperation with others, the difficulty of which can be imagined.

Even if Zhou Yi is a monster with excellent talent, Miao Lai doesn't think Zhou Yi has such ability.

Zhou Yi said:

"Dean, I'm planning to go to Shuimu University to study as a graduate student. My current research direction is very similar to Birkar's. Being his student may have unexpected effects."

There was a slight change in Miao Lai's originally plain expression, and he said:

"Doing mathematics with a Fields Medal winner does have a bright future. Mr. Qiu is also there. Maybe you can follow Mr. Qiu when you study for a Ph.D.
However, there are no great achievements in the future. After a few years, it may be difficult to select academicians. You have to know the inside story. "

Zhou Yi took a deep breath, nodded and said:
"To learn, you can't just fight for these, and I have confidence."

Miao Lai let out a heavy breath and said:
"Oh, fine, it's fine if you decide. We won't interfere with your choice. Yuda University is your strongest backing. Study hard and come back to Yuda University to teach in the future."

Zhou Yi heard the words and said:

"Okay, Dean, I'll go first."

"great, good luck."

Miao Lai finally said encouragingly.

As soon as Zhou Yi left, Miao Lai received a message that three days later,

Bill Carr, winner of the Fields Medal in 18, and Lu Mei, director of the Institute of Computational Mathematics and Operations Research at Shuimu University, will visit Yuzhou University and Academician Yang of Chongqing Normal University together.

This news is not small news,
The people who attended the reception this time were not only the presidents of the two universities and the deans of several colleges, but also the leaders of the Ministry of Education of Yuzhou.

It can be said to attach great importance to it.

Because it is necessary to discuss the establishment of a Qiu Chengtong Applied Mathematics Academic Center, which is tantamount to greatly improving the scientific and technological level of Yuzhou.

Zhou Yi also knew the news later, but it had nothing to do with him, so he had nothing to pay attention to.

On the contrary, as Ching Ming Festival was approaching, Zhou Yi was going home to worship his ancestors, to pay homage to his great-grandfather, second-grandfather, third-grandfather, and his parents.

Every Qingming Festival, Zhou Yi has to go back and do it.

Moreover, the peonies in his hometown are also in bloom. Zhou Yi promised Xia Xue to go back to see it with her, so he must not break his promise.

In the past few days, the atmosphere of the whole school has changed suddenly, and the banners have been pulled up.

Zhouyi had a very comfortable life. He didn’t go to class, and his time was allocated freely. He got up at 6 in the morning and looked at Yue Xinyi’s literature until 6 in the afternoon.
The focus capsules and the enhanced version of the focus capsules that were stored before were also eaten in three days.

Write the paper directly at night,

The proof of Newton's lattice problem and the proof of Kepler's conjecture require a lot of space.
It also takes time.

Moreover, the dean's request for graduation is an SCI in the first district, which is not a simple matter.

For his graduation thesis, Zhou Yi didn't want to make random guesses from the system's guesses, but rely on his existing knowledge to write a good thesis.

About Mochizuki Shinichi's more than 500-page paper, Zhou Yi also understood a lot.

Focusing on capsules has greatly accelerated the progress of Zhouyi's research.

It can be regarded as understanding Mochizuki Shinichi's thoughts.

Create many different topologies and compare things between different topologies.

He also created a theory dedicated to the study of the ABC conjecture, called the Teich-Miller theory of the universe.

As for whether it is correct or not, Zhou Yi feels that it will take half a month to be sure.
After Zhou Yi has thoroughly understood the [-]-page thesis, Zhou Yi not only has a great understanding of the ABC conjecture, but also may be able to solve all the doubts in it.

When Zhou Yi was reading the paper in the library, an Iranian man read it for a long time beside Zhou Yi.

It wasn't until Zhou Yi found out that something was wrong that he looked at the person behind him suspiciously.

"you are?"

Zhou Yi asked suspiciously.

Why does this person look different from the people of Daxia, and his hair is surprisingly short, when did Yu University have such a character?
Seeing Zhou Yi's puzzled look, Birkar immediately said in fluent English:

"Bircar, nice to meet you."

When Zhou Yi heard it, an unbelievable look appeared in his pupils. Bill Carr, the 18-year Fields Medal winner?

Why here.

Zhou Yi hurriedly said in English:
"Hello."

Zhou Yi stretched out his hand and shook Bircar.

"Would you like to go out and talk?"

Bill Carr said.

This is the library, and many students are reading books.

Zhou Yi said:

"it is good."

After a while, Zhou Yi walked by the lake with Bilkar carrying his notebook bag and schoolbag.

"I see you are studying Shinichi Mochizuki's thesis?"

Bill Carr spoke first.

"Well, that's right, I'm a little interested in the ABC conjecture recently."

Zhou Yi didn't hide anything.

"I thought you would be more interested in the Kepler conjecture, but I didn't expect to study the ABC conjecture."

Bircar's tone was a bit puzzled. Zhouyi's paper could not have been written without a great study of Kepler's conjecture.

Zhou Yi didn't know what to say, could it be possible to tell him that my Kepler conjecture has been proved?
Obviously impossible.

Let's talk about this later.

Let's fool around first.

"No, the research on Kepler's conjecture has entered a bottleneck, so let's study the ABC conjecture to relax."

Bill Carr: ?
Is it so relaxing to relax?
"Any gains?"

At last Birkar asked,
At the same time, the evaluation of Zhou Yi has been somewhat lowered.

As a young student, the most taboo thing is to use a hammer and a stick.

The reason for asking this is to see if Zhou Yi has any talent for number theory.

As a mathematician, he must have studied the ABC conjecture, but it was not deeply involved.

But some basics are still known.

Zhou Yi also wanted to take the opportunity to communicate and see what the Fields Medal winner thought.

Of course, the best person to discuss this issue is Schultz, but with Zhou Yi's current status, there is no chance to talk to him.

"Fortunately, Shinichi Mochizuki's core idea is to use his theory to create many different topologies, and compare things between different topologies. I have to say, it's an amazing idea..."

After some conversation, Birkar discovered that this young scholar really had something, and his understanding of Shinichi Mochizuki's thesis was even higher than his own.
