Chapter 288 Asking for your opinion
After Schultz and Manuel, quite a few mathematicians have accepted interviews from various news media or left their own comments online.
Undoubtedly, these mathematicians all expressed great appreciation for these papers of Xiao Yi.
This kind of appreciation was not given when he proved other conjecture papers, and without exception, these mathematicians all recognized the statement that Xiao Yi is making continuous progress.
For example, Deligne also mentioned in an interview. "Yes, Xiao Yi is indeed making progress, and the progress is particularly obvious. As long as you understand his papers, and then read his first paper to the current paper one by one, you can clearly find that his thinking logic, especially his own way of thinking, has been changing and getting better."
"Probably because of this reason, the problems he can solve are getting more and more difficult. Until now, even Riemann Hypothesis can't trouble him anymore."
"You may just think it's awesome, but in fact, we all know that this is very scary. A mathematician who is already good enough in his own right, even the top mathematician in our mathematics community, can still make continuous progress."
"Especially when the progress is so obvious, it's even more amazing."
"In fact, his progress was already reflected in his last paper proving Hailstone Conjecture. But at that time, probably because Hailstone Conjecture's paper was not very long, it was not that obvious. But now, in these papers proving Riemann Hypothesis, this progress is particularly obvious."
Deligne let out a long sigh and said, "Now, I really want to know how far he can progress if he continues to improve. Maybe, in my lifetime, I may really be able to see him solve all the known problems in mathematics?"
"... You asked me if I have also recognized that Xiao Yi has successfully proved Riemann Hypothesis's statement? Yes, of course I completely agree. As for this genius, I only need to read his papers once, and I am often willing to believe it. He has completed the proof, and if one day he says that I proved that Weil conjecture's paper was wrong, and then he has found a new proof method, I am afraid that I will immediately doubt my original proof."
Even Deligne, the proud disciple of Math Emperor and a grand slam winner in mathematics, said this, which once again added fuel to the fire of the entire public opinion.
Just like that, until a few days later, the official website of Prime Pioneer Program stated that they would now indefinitely stop trying to prove Riemann Hypothesis, and instead begin to focus on research and review of Xiao Yi's paper.
Now, their Prime Number Pioneer Project, as a group that brings together many top Riemann Hypothesis mathematicians, has naturally become the main force in reviewing Xiao Yi's paper without exception.
Just like an expert review team, when Xiao Yi proved other conjectures before, the mathematics community would organize such an expert review team.
Now for Riemann Hypothesis, naturally there is no exception. In fact, the team this time is much larger than before. There are almost more than twenty mathematicians in the entire Prime Pioneer Program. Now, they have all joined in and become review experts. There are even many other mathematicians who have not joined Prime Pioneer Program. They have also spontaneously joined the team to review the Xiao Yi paper.
Probably, in the entire history of mathematics, no paper has ever enjoyed such treatment.
Of course, it is precisely because so many mathematicians have expressed very positive opinions on the proof of Xiao Yi that it makes the president who has made remarks on this matter feel bad.
At the beginning, he had been standing for Prime Pioneer Program, and he also said that they would be able to succeed and defeat that Xiao Yi, but now...
Isn't this too fast a loss?
"No, what are those guys doing? Their opponents defeated them, and now they are still praising their opponents?"
In the office, Mr. President slapped the newspaper in his hand on the table, and then said angrily, "What on earth do they think? What a bunch of idiots! Even if they don't think about their own face, can't they think about it for their country's face, or for my face? I have given them so much help in vain, and this is how they repay me!"
Seeing the president's angry expression, no one else in the office said a word.
Everyone is still angry, so let's forget it.
As for this matter, they all know it. Can they blame the mathematicians?
Probably no wonder.
After all, the mathematics circle is a very small circle with not many people, let alone top mathematicians. The number of those who can be called top mathematicians is not as large as the number of people in their White House.
So they always have to express some opinions on the paper produced by Xiao Yi.
Of course, they all know better that the key reason lies in how Xiao Yi was able to prove this conjecture so quickly?
In their expectation, no matter how quickly Xiao Yi was proven, they would still have to wait until after the election, right?
Therefore, the main reason why he stood up for Prime Pioneer Program was that their public opinion was in a pessimistic state due to the delay in achieving nuclear fusion. So in order to change this trend, he stood up and expressed support, which was also to prepare for the presidential election.
The result is now...
Too fast, really too fast!
Nothing is so critical after an election, but now it happens to be before an election.
There are only more than two months left!
It's really killing me.
Finally, the president lost his temper and asked in a deep voice, "Now, how much has Vance's polling rate dropped?"
Vance is the current presidential candidate of their party. In the past, Vance provided a lot of help for his election, and now, he will also provide help for Vance's campaign.
Soon, someone responded, "It dropped by three percent..."
"Farke!"
The president suddenly cursed again in anger.
As his successor, if Vance can be elected, it will naturally be of great benefit to him, especially in the future, he will also be able to influence Vance to ensure that some of his previous ideas continue to be implemented, one of which includes the JNEO plan that he has always been concerned about.
But if it fails, it's hard to say.
Thinking of this, his mood became worse and worse.
For a moment, he couldn't help asking this soul question, "How can this Xiao Yi... be so smart?"
However, the people present would definitely not be able to answer this question for him. After all, the people present also wanted to know this question.
"By the way, I remember I saw before that you had a plan to obtain Xiao Yi's cells so that we could analyze how his genes are different from ordinary humans? If possible, try to obtain his genetic material and try to cultivate a descendant of him? Has this plan been completed?"
Many people present immediately showed shocked expressions. Good guy, do you really have such a plan?
So awesome?
Then, the director of the CIA shook his head helplessly and said, "Sorry, Mr. President, this matter is too difficult to complete. First of all, it is difficult for us to get close to Xiao Yi. According to our investigation, there is only one guard around him to protect him, but in fact there is at least one team responsible for his all-round security. Now we can't even get a hair from him, and China has been on guard against this matter."
"As for genetic material... that's even more impossible."
The president snorted coldly, "I don't even know what you have accomplished in these four years."
Everyone present immediately did not dare to say anything else.
The president finally gave up all his ideas, waved his hands and said, "Okay, that's it. I don't want to worry about anything now. Let this country be whatever it is. It will probably never be great again. After all, God has become a Chinese."
Time passed quietly.
While many discussions were going on, Xiao Yi, who was supposed to be the core figure in this matter, seemed to be a bystander, indifferent to the outcome.
Although many media have sent him interview invitations, he has refused all of them as usual.
People who believe in reputation may care about these things very much, but for him, it is no longer worth caring about.
Walking by the Science Island Laboratory lake, a gust of wind blew from the lake, making this summer night a little cooler.
By my side is Luo Mingya as always.
Today she rarely wore a milky white dress, which gave her a sense of maturity and gentleness at the same time.
The hem of the skirt hangs down to the knees, and the white calf is even more charming.
Although she was known as a female bully when she was in school, her natural beauty was not given to those school beauties at all back then.
She took off her lab coat and put on a girl's outfit, which could probably be regarded as a girl's appearance.
"So, you look nothing like a mathematician who proved Riemann Hypothesis."
"Then what do you think I should look like?" Xiao Yi asked with a smile.
"Hmm... you probably look like you're very happy, right?" Luo Mingya thought for a while and said, "Just like those who received a call and learned that they had won the Nobel Prize. Moreover, Riemann Hypothesis's proof should be more valuable than most Nobel Prizes."
Xiao Yi just smiled lightly and said, "If you think so, it means you still underestimate me."
Luo Mingya chuckled and said, "Yes, yes, I underestimated you. After all, you are God of Mathematics, Father of Nuclear Fusion, the god of materials."
Xiao Yi shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's good to know. Now it's just Riemann Hypothesis. When I solve other problems in the future, don't be too surprised."
"Oh? What problems are you going to solve in the future? I'm curious." Luo Mingya asked.
Xiao Yi said, "Will you mention one?"
So Luo Mingya thought for a while and finally said, "Shrink the nuclear fusion?"
Xiao Yi twitched his lips. "You really dare to say that."
Luo Mingya smiled softly, "Isn't that what you asked me to mention? Moreover, if this technology can really be achieved, we will probably not be far away from level 2.0 civilization, right?"
"So, our civilization has just reached level 1.0, and you want to rush to level 2.0."
Xiao Yi shook his head.
However, after taking a few more steps, he suddenly said, "Let's talk about it later. I will definitely study the miniaturization of nuclear fusion, but not now."
This time it was Luo Mingya's turn to be stunned.
Isn't it?
Are you really going to study it?
She was actually just teasing just now.
Could it be that Xiao Yi really plans to bring human civilization to the entire solar system in his lifetime?
At this moment, Xiao Yi's cell phone suddenly rang. He glanced at the caller and saw that it was Director Liu again...
Oh, the name should be changed now to Chairman Liu.
After answering the phone, Xiao Yi said with a smile, "Old Liu, why are you free to call me at this time?"
Liu Cong said with a smile, "It shouldn't bother you, right?"
"No, I'm free now." Xiao Yi said.
"That's good." Liu Cong said, "The main reason for calling me is to express congratulations to you. You are included in the candidate lists of academicians of both academies!"
Xiao Yi said with a smile, "This is just a candidate, not really elected yet."
Liu Cong smiled and said, "Hey, don't say such things. If you are not an academician of the two academies this year, then I guess no one else will be able to be an academician."
"Okay, I just came to talk to you about this matter in advance. The specific list should be announced in a few days. You can just watch it then."
Xiao Yi said, "Okay, I understand, I will pay attention when the time comes."
"Well, then I won't bother you anymore... Oh, by the way, when can I get to drink your wedding wine? I've been looking forward to it for a long time."
Xiao Yi rolled his eyes and said, "Just wait."
Liu Cong laughed.
Then, the phone hung up.
"Chairman Liu's phone number?" Luo Mingya asked.
"Yes." Xiao Yi nodded.
"What did you say?"
"He just revealed some internal information to me. I am included in the lists of candidates for academicians of both houses of Congress."
"Wow!" Luo Mingya couldn't help but blink.
This is a double academician!
Chinese academicians are mainly divided into Academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and academicians of the Academy of Engineering. Being one of them is already an academician, let alone becoming a double academician.
To this day, China has approximately 1,800 academicians, but only 34 of them are double academicians.
It can be said that becoming a double academician is also an extremely important honor.
However, Xiao Yi looked at Luo Mingya's surprised look and said, "It's just a candidate list, not elected yet."
So Luo Mingya rolled his eyes and said, "You have already become a candidate, won't it be easy to be elected then? There are only more than two months left, and the results will be announced in November."
"Almost."
In this regard, Xiao Yi did not deny it.
"Then I will call you Academician Xiao." Luo Mingya said with a smile.
Xiao Yi smiled and didn't speak for a while.
I just sat on a bench next to me and looked at the lake view.
Luo Mingya also sat next to him.
Suddenly, Xiao Yi said, "Perhaps you can change your name to another name in the future?"
Luo Mingya was stunned and asked, "What?"
Xiao Yi just said, "Lao Liu asked about another thing just now. He asked when he can drink my wedding wine."
"I think I still need to ask for your opinion on this matter, so... what do you think?"
With a "swish", Luo Mingya blushed, but did not speak for a long time.
Xiao Yi smiled softly, and suddenly understood the sentence in "Camel Xiangzi": There are not many truths in this world, and a woman's blush is worth more than a long dialogue.
