From all-round academic master to chief scientist

After entering the house, Lin Xiao took out Mimi, who was still sleeping on the bed, and put her on the sofa. When the girl saw the cat, she said "Wow", "Cat is so beautiful! Brother, brother. Have you given it a bath?"

"Um."

Lin Xiao smiled and nodded, and found the cat teasing stick from the side. He bought it a few days ago at the pet hospital.

The teacher Liu called him a few days ago. Two weeks later, he still couldn't find the owner, so he directly charged two thousand yuan and bought a bunch of things for the cat, such as a cat scratching post and a cat crawler. Stand or something.

However, what this cat likes is lying on the bed when he is in bed, and on the table when he is in front of the desk. After all, Ragdoll cats like to be clingy.

Seeing the girl playing with the cat, Lin Xiao finally sat down next to Zheng Ren and started chatting.

"Little girls really like cats."

Zheng Ren said with a smile: "Yes, this girl wanted to raise a cat before, but her grandma and I are usually at school. Her grandma is a professor at Guanghua School of Management and has no time to raise cats. Now she is at 101 Middle School. I'm a freshman in high school, and I usually only come back on weekends, so it's impossible to raise a cat. Then I just came back from school today and said I wanted to come to your house to look after the cat. I was worried and followed me."

"So this is ah."

Lin Xiao nodded, "Then you really shouldn't keep a cat. Just come to my place and have a look when you have time in the future."

"Haha, I'll bother you again from now on."

"It's okay, by the way, what's your sister's name?" Lin Xiao suddenly remembered that he didn't even know the girl's name and asked.

Zheng Ren was stunned and couldn't help but said to the girl: "Nanny, haven't you introduced yourself to Brother Lin?"

The girl turned back and said sheepishly: "Yes! I forgot."

"Brother Lin, my name is Zheng Ronger. I am 15 years old and I am in my first year of high school. Grandpa, please don't call me by my nickname! I am already in high school."

"You girl!" Zheng Ren pointed at his granddaughter and said in a dumbfounded voice, "Grandpa has been calling you by your nickname for so long, and now you don't like it anymore?"

"No!" The girl pouted, looking squeamish.

"Then I'll call you Nannan, Nannan, Nannan..." Zheng Ren didn't even notice that there was Lin Xiao next to him, so he started arguing with his granddaughter.

Looking at the grandfather and granddaughter, Lin Xiao next to him couldn't help but smile.

However, Zheng Ren didn't talk too much to his granddaughter, and soon chatted with Lin Xiao about other things.

"Although Mr. Yang didn't say it directly, many people now think that Mr. Yang regards you as the leader of high-energy physics in our country in the future. Do you feel pressured?"

"That's not true. I just study my own. I don't usually pay attention to those things."

"This is a good mentality, but it seems that you are also interested in high-energy physics?"

"Of course I am very interested in this. Exploring the basic structure of the world. I think this is a very interesting thing. As I said, I hope to explore the truth of the universe. And in the basic structure of matter, I believe there are many hidden things about myself. Want to know the answer.”

Lin Xiao said with a smile.

High energy physics, also known as particle physics, as the name suggests, studies the physics of microscopic particles.

As for why it is called high energy, it is naturally because this subject is indeed very high energy, because their research basically uses particle colliders to conduct experiments. Of course, theory also plays a huge role in it, such as the The God particle predicted by the Gus field was theoretically speculated. Later, the God particle was also claimed to be discovered by the CERN organization in 2012, including the CEPC planned to be built by China, which was also built to better study the God particle. .

The energy they generate every time they are activated is very powerful, otherwise no one would doubt that the particle collider would collide with a black hole.

"It is indeed a very interesting subject. If you are really interested one day, I can take you to our Institute of High Energy to have a look, where the Beijing Electron Positron Collider is built." Zheng Ren said with a smile.

"If I have the chance, I will definitely go."

Lin Xiao's eyes lit up. Being able to see the collider in action must be a pretty good opportunity.

"Um."

Zheng Ren nodded and said no more.

Later, Lin Xiao joined Zheng Ronger in petting the cat. It was not until half an hour later that Zheng Ronger reluctantly left.

After seeing off the two guests, Lin Xiao thought about what Zheng Ren said just now.

High energy physics?

Now, he is not ready to enter this field rashly.

No matter what, high-energy physics is also a cutting-edge subject in the world, and he should fix his Goldbach conjecture now.

Thinking of Goldbach's conjecture, he thought of Terence Tao's discussion of the sieve method that he had not finished reading just now.

So he returned to the bedroom and continued to read Terence Tao's messages on this forum.

Soon, he finished watching the entire process.

However, Terence Tao apparently did not completely figure it out, but just shared an idea.

What remains at the end is a question.

[For all k≥3, let A and A` be any integer set. For any integer set r∈{1, 2, 3}... is it less than (M, ∏(p∈j)p≠1}|?

Finally, I encountered a problem that I couldn't solve for the time being. If I can solve this problem, I believe we can continue to complete this new sieving method. Maybe, we can also get closer to Goldbach's conjecture. The ultimate mystery. 】

Looking at the question left by Terence Tao, Lin Xiao scrolled down again and glanced at the comment area.

In the comment area, in addition to a group of ordinary students who worship great gods or ask other questions, there are also discussions by some famous mathematicians. However, they basically encountered problems here.

"Do you prove that the former formula is smaller than the latter formula?"

Lin Xiao fell into thinking.

It is certainly not easy to solve a problem that has stumped so many math masters.

He picked up the paper and pen on it, briefly wrote down a few formulas, and then looked at these formulas and started thinking.

Time passed slowly, and he discarded the pieces of scrap paper and threw them into the wastebasket beside him. He bought himself a large paper basket. After crumpling the scrap paper into a ball, he could throw it directly into it.

"What should we do here? Let the I formula be greater than the II formula, and it can be completed. The only condition is that p∈J..."

Looking at the result he got, Lin Xiao frowned. Just like that, after a pause of more than ten minutes, he simply put down the pen, picked up the breast, and thought while stroking it.

However, it was probably because when he picked up the cat, the dopamine secreted by his brain made his brain feel happy, so that his level of associations increased, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

"By the way, I have it! You can try to construct a new sequence!"

So he immediately threw Mimi on the table and started writing on the scratch paper, using words as a carrier to express the inspirational prompts.

And Mimi looked at this owner who didn't know what was going on. She just picked herself up and masturbated for a minute, and then put her back again.

It said "Meow?" to express its question, but obviously, its new owner had no time to answer it.

Just like that, another ten minutes passed. Lin Xiao looked at the result he had come up with and let out a sigh of relief.

"It's quite difficult. It's indeed a question that can stump Terence Tao."

However, he finally got it done.

"Then, after proving this formula, I can continue to improve this sieving method."

Now he can continue to follow Tao Zhexuan's ideas in this formula and study this mathematical tool.

"But...after all, it was Tao Zhexuan's result a month ago. Maybe he would have solved it long ago?"

Lin Xiao thought about it and decided to post his method under Tao Zhexuan's comment. Regardless of whether Tao Zhexuan solved this problem, after all, he also used his idea, so it was appropriate to inform him.

So he posted his derivation process below Tao Zhexuan's reply, and then continued to study.

He didn't expect to get an immediate response from Terence Tao. After all, this happened a month ago, and it's not certain whether people still pay attention to it.

…

Across the Pacific, UCLA, University of California, Los Angeles.

As a world-famous school, UCLA also has a very prominent position in mathematics, ranking seventh in the world. The support for its mathematics status is naturally related to its teaching staff. There are three Fields Medal winners. Tao Zhexuan, who holds a teaching position here, works here.

At this time, in Tao Zhexuan's office, he was surfing the Internet.

Although he is a well-known mathematician, he is still very interested in surfing the Internet, just like their president. For example, in 2016, Tao Zhexuan was recommending to the president who had just taken office and also liked surfing the Internet. We've been at each other's throats.

Of course, the places where he surfs are usually places where mathematics academic discussions are held. At this moment, he is discussing problems with others on mathoverflow.

"Huh? Someone replied to me...it was Goldbach's conjecture post."

That was all a month ago. For Terence Tao, he no longer has much impression. When he studies something, he just studies it if he is interested. Therefore, Charles Fefferman of Princeton University would say, 'If you encounter If you encounter any problem, then go to Teru Zhexuan, as long as it can interest him.

Just like the other form of weak Goldbach's conjecture he originally proved, it was because he studied it carefully after he became interested, so he accidentally completed the proof.

Of course, he has also seriously thought about the new screening method he discussed in this post.

However, because there were too many people replying to this post, he didn't pay much attention to it at first, but after taking a glance, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

"Did you actually solve the problem I encountered?"

He was interested in taking a look at this.

So he entered the post and read the reply.

And soon, he couldn't help but be surprised in his eyes.

"So it can be like this! Why didn't I notice it before?"
