God's Crown

Why is the problem serious? Of course, I want to study the problem of twin prime numbers, but the problem of twin prime numbers is not about them.Even Professor Jesse may not be able to solve it.They have been struggling with this issue for more than half a year.

Originally, they didn't have much time in college. In fact, they are similar to An Yan, and they need to graduate within a certain period of time.That is, Professor Jesse also gave them a deadline, if they fail to graduate within this deadline.That would be similar to An Yan. It is estimated that it would be very difficult to study for a graduate student at the University of Zurich, or even at the ETH Zurich, let alone a doctorate.

Both Chen Tao and Liu Song have recently been considering whether to put this issue aside for the time being.Indeed, it is also possible that they have no way to solve this world-class mathematical problem at present.It's better to be more pragmatic and solve a difficult problem that they currently think is very difficult, but they have the ability to break through.Maybe other achievements can be made. When thinking of this, Chen Tao and Liu Song are still very excited.

But on An Yan's side, it's not easy for them to talk about it.This is related to whether they can stay and continue to study after graduation, and the two of them naturally need to make a choice.

And An Yan is not only their side of the matter, there are other things.For example, he also has a graphene project. Although An Yan and Roger are currently working on this graphene project, they are cooperating with the Beijing University team.

The team of Beijing University has been working on graphene batteries, although this graphene can't produce results now.But there is still more than a year, and there is no problem in making a breakthrough.It is also because of this consideration that Chen Tao and Liu Song believe that even if An Yan does not have the topic of twin prime numbers, they can still find other cooperation topics.

There are quite a few topics on Professor Benson's side, such as quantum field theory, or Hilbert space, or even Planck theory, etc., and many other topics are enough for An Yan to write a A relatively good thesis, directly graduated.Even, he can still be well-known in the academic world. Of course, An Yan is already a well-known student now.If he can still write a high-quality physics paper in the future, he will be able to gain a firm foothold internationally.At that time, An Yan will almost be able to study and graduate at the University of Zurich or one of the world's top prestigious schools.It doesn't matter whether it is to stay in school to teach, or to return to China.

The future looks bright.To be honest, both Chen Tao and Liu Song envied An Yan.He has a particularly good professor, and his own talent is not bad.

And luckily, the results were produced shortly after entering the laboratory.Attracted countless people who want to cooperate with him, so that An Yan is qualified to pick and choose, and cooperate with whomever he wants to cooperate with.

It was as if An Yan finally decided to cooperate with Peking University. The previous cooperation between Peking University and the University of Zurich had already caused conflicts, but An Yan wanted to cooperate. Professor Benson didn't have any objections, and even let An Yan make his own choice.This is the privilege that the professor will give to a student with certain skills or talents after he has made some achievements.

And now, in fact, Professor Jesse also values ​​Chen Tao and Liu Song very much, but they still haven't made certain results.Naturally, Professor Jesse's requirements will be much stricter than Professor Benson's, but for the two of them, it's also for their own good.After all, Professor Jesse's sternness is to enable them to make achievements, and to have a better environment when they study for graduate students or even doctors in the future.

After thinking for a long time, Chen Tao and Liu Song decided to tell An Yan about this matter.

When they found An Yan, An Yan was preparing to eat.He has been busy in the laboratory for most of the day, but he can also vaguely feel it. It seems that Chen Tao and Liu Song have more and more doubts about twin prime numbers recently.Under the desperation, they seemed to be less and less concerned about this matter.Probably in a state of giving up, but no one said it.

An Yan could also understand why the two of them gave up this conjecture, even though they were the first to put it forward.But obviously, they can't solve this matter at all now, why continue to entangle on this?Moreover, with their existing knowledge and thinking, it may not be possible to solve this problem after spending several years in vain.

That being the case, they might as well learn other knowledge first.After the knowledge reserves are sufficient, they may find more discoveries when they come back to study this problem, or they may solve this problem when they have a flash of inspiration.

He was packing up the experimental equipment in the room when Chen Tao gently knocked on the door.

An Yan turned her head and saw Chen Tao standing outside the door, she smiled at him and said, "Why, Brother Tao, what do you want from me today?"

Chen Tao's expression was a bit complicated, and he didn't smile when he saw An Yan smiling at him.Instead, he said with some seriousness, "An Yan, I'll come to you today, mainly because I want to talk to you about a question."

"Yeah." An Yan nodded, "Brother Tao, if you have any questions, you can just speak up."

"It's just..." Chen Tao murmured, carefully looking at An Yan's face, as if he was afraid that An Yan would get angry.And An Yan said generously, "Brother Tao, just tell me if you have anything, don't worry, I still have a little tolerance." He probably guessed what Chen Tao wanted to say.

In two months, he has been back to the University of Zurich for almost two months, and they are still struggling with the problems that appeared in the previous literature.Even the numbers given in the literature have not yet been calculated, and the gap between them in mathematics, especially number theory, is still obvious.

Aware of one's own shortcomings, it is not necessary to solve this problem impatiently, but to learn the basics first, so that one can truly solve this problem.Otherwise, they will only add to the laughing stock.

"An Yan is like this." Chen Tao was silent for a while, "Liu Song and I had some new ideas on the issue of the twin prime number conjecture, and realized that we still have many shortcomings in number theory, so we decided to start working on it. If we study analytic number theory, the topic of twin prime numbers may not be able to continue.”

The more they spoke, the lower their voices became, and it was almost impossible for people to hear what they were talking about.

But An Yan wasn't surprised at all, just nodded slightly and said, "Brother Tao, in fact, I think you should do this even if you don't tell me."

"We are in number theory, and there are still many places that we haven't figured out. It's really too impatient to do the twin prime number conjecture now. Before we go to graduate school, it's better not to touch these world-class problems. Especially the theory of mathematics." An Yan touched the bridge of his nose, this was not a scene, but something in his mind.

He has had this idea since he started studying twin prime numbers.It's really too difficult. Don't look at him playing mathematics well in physics. When he was about to start doing pure number theory, he was completely confused. He didn't even know what he was doing. What's the point of doing this? place.

To sum up one sentence - they still suffer from the lack of reading.

Now that the words have been said, Chen Tao also understood An Yan's general thoughts, so he smiled and said, "I originally thought you would be angry, but if you think so, it would be great of."

"Hey, I've been meaning to say this for a long time. I see that your enthusiasm for research is very high, so I'm too embarrassed to say these things. It must be a great thing for Brother Tao and Brother Song to figure it out." When talking here , An Yan paused for a while, and continued, "It happens that my graphene research here also has to hurry up, and generally there is no time to study number theory issues. I have been thinking about how to communicate with you these days. Talk about it."

An Yan breathed a sigh of relief, "However, if you do a good job in analytic number theory, maybe you can really solve the twin prime number conjecture."

"Come on, Brother Tao!"

"It's good that you don't get angry." After Chen Tao said goodbye to An Yan, An Yan sat on the chair and thought for a while.If he didn't expect it, it is estimated that after a while, or in a day or two, the professor will come to him when he hears the wind.Ask him to go to the office. There is no rush for graphene.It is already very good to be able to make a breakthrough within a year and a half. As for the final result, it will not come out so quickly.

And An Yan now needs another topic as his graduation thesis. Originally, An Yan chose the twin prime number conjecture.It is a pity that the twin prime number conjecture research group is gone, so An Yan needs to make a new choice.This time, the research group that seems to be a professor anyway is much more reliable.

As for the behavior of Chen Tao and Liu Song, An Yan can fully understand, and he does not think that now is the best time to conjecture twin prime numbers.But the problem is that since he can't conjecture twin prime numbers now, he doesn't have any other good subjects.The worst part was that An Yan didn't really want to talk to the professor's research group.Probably because the people in the research team were not familiar with it, or because of August's affairs, An Yan had some psychological shadows.

He always felt that if he went to the professor's research group, maybe the people in the research group would resign collectively.

After pondering for a while, or when the professor came to him, he told the professor that he should do a thesis on quantum field theory by himself.He is not very skilled in quantum mechanics, but it does not prevent him from doing a field theory.

That is, I wonder if the professor will allow it?If it really doesn't work, he'll go back to his old job and do a dissertation on flow field. Now he has some new ideas about this.It was when I was discussing mathematics with Chen Tao and Liu Song that I suddenly had a burst of inspiration.It is definitely impossible to solve the NS equation, but these inspirations applied to the flow field may produce some interesting phenomena.

After thinking for a while, An Yan decided to tell the professor about it.
