Chapter 445: Chapter 147: The Base Under the Big Pie_2
Even being an editorial board member seems to work...
Thinking of this, Chen Zhuoyang felt excited and then overwhelmed...
So, soon after, Chen Zhuoyang replied to the message: "Stop talking, junior brother, just tell me what I can do now, okay? While half my hair is still left, I’ll give it my all!"
"No problem, Senior Brother Chen. You’re really lucky; the current work is really simple. Mainly it involves the validation work in low-dimensional modal space. I’ll send you a directory right now, and you can choose any topic from the validation tasks listed."
Just after these words, within two seconds, Chen Zhuoyang received the first-step work directory sent by Qiao Yu.
It was indeed full of basic validation work.
Such as verifying the geometric consistency and structure of the modal space, re-analyzing the distribution patterns of prime numbers through generalized modal number theory, modeling the dynamic change of sets, performing modal analysis on the intersection and union operations of sets...
The directory also thoughtfully provided suggestions for how to develop the work. After a brief look, Chen Zhuoyang realized that it indeed didn’t require much mathematical innovation ability...
The majority of the work involved numerical modeling and calculations to provide evidence for some future lemmas and theorem proofs.
Simply put, it involved using a series of basic hypotheses put forward by Qiao Yu and directly substituting some known elements to conduct verification and statistics.
For example, the first study on prime number distribution would involve selecting a certain range of prime pairs, such as 10 to the power of 5 pairs of primes, and then mapping each prime through the framework into the modal space.
Then, by studying the distribution characteristics of these modal numbers within the modal space, explore and research their geometric structures, such as looking for periodicity, symmetry, and any asymptotic behaviors...
The reports following these validations could aid Qiao Yu in proving or restating one number-theory conjecture after another.
For instance, if statistically, infinite density regions corresponding to modal numbers with β=2 are found in the modal space, a geometric explanation for the distribution of twin primes could be deduced.
Although Chen Zhuoyang felt he couldn’t complete the most difficult inferential work, he was perfectly capable of handling these mechanical computations and statistical tasks upfront.
Moreover, most of the work was indeed handed over to computers for verification. Of course, Chen Zhuoyang absolutely wouldn’t choose this job.
That was something number theorists were more adept at doing. Chen Zhuoyang only planned to choose issues related to geometry. Coincidentally, there were two such tasks in the list.
In this moment, Chen Zhuoyang felt as though his youth had returned because he’d especially found the feeling from his graduate study days.
It was like his dear mentor had just assigned him a daunting homework assignment...
Nevertheless, Chen Zhuoyang quickly chose two propositions needing validation in the near future and sent them to Qiao Yu.
"OK! Senior Brother Chen, go smash it! Remember, your future self will definitely thank you for today’s choice. Try to complete these two sections of work within two months."
"Wait a minute, junior brother, two months?"
"Believe in yourself. It’s just a matter of spending some time, isn’t it? You have to keep up with my pace, right? If two months don’t yield some initial results, how am I going to explain it to Director Tian and Elder Yuan?"
Moreover, actually, the one who needs to hurry isn’t me, it’s you, Senior Brother Chen! I’m only sixteen years old and my peers are still in high school, so what’s my rush! The average age for the Fields Medal is forty!"
But if our research group cannot publish even two articles in two months on such an important topic, can you face your future self, Senior Brother Chen? Think of it, the second and third authorships on top journals are waving at you!"
Of course, if you have extra capacity, you could even write articles on your interim findings, and I can help recommend them. There should be a few lead author publications from Jinda, right? Show them your strength, really give them something big to consider! Come on, Senior Brother Chen, while you’re still young!"
Reading these sincere words on WeChat, Chen Zhuoyang felt like he had no way to retreat!
It seemed there was really no other option but to go all out!
After all, Qiao Yu was right; it wasn’t the junior brother who needed to hurry, but himself.
"Alright, don’t worry, two months, I will definitely complete this work!"
"I knew you could do it! Go, Professor Chen!"
"Phew..." Seeing Qiao Yu’s final address to him, Chen Zhuoyang exhaled deeply.
Yes, the first step to becoming a professor, this aspiration is not overly ambitious at all.
...
In fact, any ideal is exceedingly expensive.
Moreover, there’s a particularly unique rule: the more simple and noble the ideal, the more expensive it becomes.
For instance, world peace!
Just four simple words, but to achieve it would require not only a group of capable individuals consistently adhering to the ideal but also a force powerful enough to deter everyone.
This power must be able to ensure that anyone disrupting peace immediately suffers the consequences, which would then present the possibility of success.
And establishing such power might require counting money by billions as the smallest unit.
Aside from that, at least ensuring that the eight billion people in this world have enough food and clothing is essential, as they would truly die otherwise, adding another astronomical number to the costs.
Fortunately, Qiao Yu’s ideal isn’t so modest. He merely wants to buy and rebuild a community.
At least this modest ideal won’t cost as much as achieving world peace.
So for now, he doesn’t need to work so hard.
He wasn’t just assigning tasks to Senior Brother Chen but also incidentally assigning tasks to Xue Song and Qiao Xi.
