Chapter 432 No Comparison, No Harm

"Qingshan, are you busy?"

Xu Qingshan was sitting in the office taking a rest with his eyes closed. Liu Ruchuan stood at the door and knocked on it.

Xu Qingshan rubbed his tired eyes, took a breath to clear his mind, and saw Liu Ruchuan standing at the door, and asked curiously.

"Brother, why don't you come in and tell me? What's wrong? If you're busy or not, it's fine. Don't we do this every day?"

Xu Qingshan stood up with a smile and greeted Liu Ruchuan.

He didn't notice it just now, but now that he got up, Xu Qingshan discovered that something was wrong with Liu Ruchuan.

"Why are you so shy? Are you embarrassed about something?"

Seeing Liu Ruchuan standing at the door, Xu Qingshan didn't know how to enter, didn't say anything, and had a very subtle expression, so he simply walked over and patted him.

"Hey, how do you say this..."

Liu Ruochuan hesitated, as if he was about to say something shameful.

"I feel like I've made some breakthroughs in my research on p-racing recently, but I'm a little stuck when I want to get global constraints. When you proved the Riemann hypothesis before, didn't you use your critical analytic fiber bundle and quantum spectral homology mapping to prove the uniqueness of the zero-point distribution by calculating the Betti number of the fiber bundle and the Riemann curvature tensor? I tried but I don't quite understand how to do it. How about you teach me or help me do it?"

Liu Ruochuan's old face turned red, but he looked at Xu Qingshan eagerly, hoping that he would agree.

Although as the deputy director of the laboratory, it sounds a bit embarrassing to be completely clueless about the application of mathematical tools.

But he really had no other choice. After all, only Xu Qingshan understood this latest mathematical tool, and it was the only one of its kind in the world.

Xu Qingshan has not yet elaborated on the principles and standardized summary of this mathematical tool.

But if he came to ask this, and if Xu Qingshan had not originally planned to study this mathematical tool in depth, Liu Ruchuan was worried that he would disturb the progress of Xu Qingshan's major achievements.

After all, the few years after a major proposition like the Riemann hypothesis was proven were the golden period for the explosion of academic achievements.

Mr. Hilbert once said that every difficult mathematical problem is a goose that lays golden eggs.

It's like people are constantly completing the proof of Fermat's Last Theorem.

From Fermat's Last Theorem, the application of "infinite descent method" and imaginary numbers was expanded; Kummer's "ideal number theory" was born; the proof of Model's conjecture and Furuyama Shimura's conjecture was promoted; the application edge of the whole theory was expanded; the in-depth study of elliptic equations was deepened; the growth point of differential geometry in number theory was found; the combination point of Ilivakin-Fletcher method and Ivasha's theory was discovered
The solution to Fermat's Last Theorem alone has promoted the overall development and research of mathematics, and has also spawned a group of heavyweight mathematicians who shine brightly in this era.

Xu Qingshan was the first pioneer to open the door to this treasure.

He was more academically advanced than his contemporaries and was able to complete the creation and proof of subsequent systems before others.

No one understands the Riemann hypothesis better than him, and no one knows better than him how the future of the Riemann hypothesis will develop.

"If you are too busy with work right now, forget it."

"Brother, why are you pretending to be so distant with me? Let's go to your office."

Xu Qingshan burst out laughing and patted Liu Ruchuan's shoulder hard.

He walked in front and entered Liu Ruochuan's office first.

"Well, judging from your current state, have you finished everything you need to do?"

Liu Ruchuan's expression followed Xu Qingshan's. After Xu Qingshan sat on his chair, he stood aside and took out a pile of thesis materials for Xu Qingshan to see.

"Not quite there yet, but almost there."

Xu Qingshan said with a smile.

He had already submitted the complete proof paper he had written on stage to the Annals of Mathematics, but there was nothing he could do as Professor Cha was pressing him too hard.

What he is doing now is the systematic reconstruction of a new mathematical system that relies on the Riemann hypothesis.

Of course, he will not be able to complete all the textbooks in various fields and the extended proofs of various theories one by one because he does not have enough time. These relatively simple tasks will be left to other world-class mathematicians.

“That’s awesome.”

Liu Ruchuan gave a thumbs up. A lot of compliments went through his mind, but in the end, only the simplest sentence remained.

"There is still a long way to go."

Xu Qingshan had a faint smile on his face. Even though he spoke modestly, Liu Ruchuan felt that he was pretending.

"Qingshan, this is it, take a look at this."

Liu Ruochuan found the interrelated memory molecules and placed the materials in front of Xu Qingshan and showed them to him.

Xu Qingshan studied at his desk for a while, then looked up at Liu Ruchuan.

"Sure, Senior Brother, you haven't wasted any time during this period. Is your work progress so fast?"

"Who proposed the rigidity theory of non-commutative p-adic local systems? You? It's a good idea to use this to reveal the deep symmetry between p-adic representations and geometric structures. I think the proof is very good, especially the process."

As Xu Qingshan spoke, he looked Liu Ruchuan up and down.

"Brother, your genius is beyond my imagination, isn't it?"

But even though Xu Qingshan praised Liu Ruochuan so much, Liu Ruochuan didn't show any joy on his face. Instead, the corners of his mouth twitched and he rolled his eyes at Xu Qingshan.

"Why are you not happy about the compliment?"

Liu Ruochuan couldn't help it and reached out and patted Xu Qingshan on the head.

"Are you pretending to me again?"

"If you continue to be weird to me, do you believe I will jump down from here?"

Liu Ruochuan pointed out the window and said angrily.

"No? Why are you pretending? What are you talking about, Senior Brother? I don't understand."

Xu Qingshan looked at Liu Ruochuan with a puzzled look. Why did this little old man suddenly explode?
"You told me this when I asked you! You even solved the Riemann hypothesis, and you want to take advantage of me! I'm heartbroken and sad. I don't want to live anymore."

Liu Ruochuan is also a great actor. His emotions are so up and down, but you can't feel any sense of personality split at all.

"I suggested that? Wow!"

Xu Qingshan was happy.

"That's it. When you finish writing your paper, do you have to put my name as the first author?"

Liu Ruchuan put away his expression and looked at Xu Qingshan with a stern face.

"You're not going to steal even my first work, are you? If you do, I'll always be watching you in the office. Always and forever."

Feeling the strong resentment in Liu Ruochuan, Xu Qingshan gave up the idea of ​​continuing to play with him.

If you keep playing with him, Senior Brother will be turned into a strange shape.

"Okay, I've written down the basic route and method here, there's no problem."

Although Xu Qingshan was making Liu Ruochuan laugh just now, he did not stop his hand movements. His movements were so fast that even Liu Ruochuan did not notice that Xu Qingshan had completed his request.

"Ah, take a look. Actually, you can use more than just my method to do topological cyclic homology. You can try it. Well, let's call it the descending spectral sequence method. It's a concept you proposed in those short papers you wrote before. I see you haven't summarized it. If you do a good job with that method, it should be able to innovate the calculation method of topological cyclic homology in algebraic K-theory and establish a new connection with Scholze prism cohomology."

"Oh, there is a brief mention of a similar idea on page 27 of my paper. You can try it."

Xu Qingshan easily put on a show in front of his second-in-command.

Liu Ruochuan watched as Xu Qingshan's face slowly showed shock. "No, buddy, you've already finished it? Is my problem so simple? I've been thinking about it for almost a month."

Liu Ruochuan's eyes had become different-sized, his eyebrows were uneven, and he stared at Xu Qingshan.

"Okay, now that it's resolved, you can go back first."

Liu Ruochuan suddenly raised his hand in disappointment, looking weak and almost dead.

"Hey, Senior Brother, that's where you're wrong. It's not right to just use someone and then throw them away. Why don't you treat me to dinner?"

Xu Qingshan was unhappy. Why was the man so stingy when he was invited to help and not even willing to treat him to a meal?
"I'll treat you tomorrow. I can't eat today."

Liu Ruochuan had already pulled Xu Qingshan up, and he slumped in the chair and spoke quietly.

It turns out that the greatest original sin of mankind is comparison. Without comparison, there would be no harm.

Although I have been in the same laboratory with Xu Qingshan for more than a year.

Liu Ruochuan thought that he understood Xu Qingshan's genius well enough. After all, as the only person in the world who could solve the Riemann hypothesis, no normal person would want to compare himself with Xu Qingshan.

But the problem is that Xu Qingshan ended Liu Ruchuan's six-month research problem in just a few minutes in the field that Liu Ruchuan was best at.

Even if Liu Ruchuan had no intention of comparing himself, he would still feel a strong sense of frustration.

If you don't enter the academic path, looking at Xu Qingshan is like looking at the sky from a well.

But embarking on the academic path and looking at Xu Qingshan again is like a mayfly looking at the world.

Although Xu Qingshan has a high IQ, he also has a high EQ. Seeing Liu Ruchuan suddenly become so distraught, he immediately realized his own problem.

I was so busy joking with my brother just now that I forgot to restrain myself a little.

However, this does not mean that Xu Qingshan needs to lie to Liu Ruochuan in order to maintain Liu Ruochuan's self-esteem.

Just as Liu Ruochuan understands Xu Qingshan, Xu Qingshan has also gradually come to know Liu Ruochuan better and better after working together day and night for such a long time.

This optimistic senior brother of mine who looks a little crazy, loves to play and make trouble is actually very strong inside.

Even if I don't comfort him, he will be able to adjust himself after a night of mediation.

But Xu Qingshan didn't intend to make him sad, but simply pointed out some key points.

"Why? Our Senior Brother Liu is also autistic?"

Xu Qingshan grinned, pulled a chair over and sat down.

Liu Ruchuan looked at Xu Qingshan with dull eyes, then turned his head away and continued to be in seclusion.

"I think you've become obsessed with this."

Xu Qingshan shook his head and said with a smile.

"Who came up with the whole theoretical framework of relative seclusion acquisition? Didn't you do it? Who proposed the logarithmic Riemann-Hilbert correspondence of rigid clusters? Didn't you propose it?"

"As for the rigidity theory of non-commutative propulsion of local systems and the method used in topological cyclic homology, although I was the one who directly proposed them, I essentially expanded on them based on the direction of your work."

Xu Qingshan patted the thesis materials on the table and said seriously.

"Even if I don't help you, you may be stuck here for a year or two, but in the end you will be able to use enumeration to select the path that suits you best."

"It's not that you don't have enough wisdom, it's just that I can see things more objectively and clearly from the perspective of an outsider. I am just helping you shorten the wasted stage of time."

Seeing that Liu Ruochuan seemed to be more energetic, Xu Qingshan struck while the iron was hot.

Since the team was established, Xu Qingshan has been too busy, and Liu Ruchuan has been in charge of most of the administrative affairs of the entire team.

In fact, to be honest, Xu Qingshan felt that Liu Ruchuan had made a great contribution to his high evaluation from the outside world.

It's just that the brilliance he displayed was too dazzling. Not only did his teacher Tian Gang become lax, but his senior brother was also dispensable in the eyes of the outside world.

This is a definite disadvantage.

It’s a good thing that they have broken out in the past two days. Before it’s too long and becomes a habit, we can quickly reverse it.

Xu Qingshan doesn't want to lose such a good second-in-command.

He even planned to recruit Liu Ruochuan after Qingshan University was established.

Brother Niuma, the package is useful.

"But doesn't this further illustrate the gap between us?"

Liu Ruochuan exhaled with difficulty.

He still felt a little lost.

"What's the difference? Can't you help me shorten the time for the problem I can't solve? I told you, this is just a subjective and objective issue."

Xu Qingshan answered casually.

"Although I was responsible for the main part of the proof of the Riemann hypothesis, didn't you help me arrange the rest and lead the team to break through?"

"You help me save time, I help you save time, and if we work together as a team, how efficient will that be?"

Xu Qingshan patted Liu Ruochuan on the shoulder.

That’s about all I have to say. With Liu Ruochuan’s IQ and EQ, he will soon understand and let it go.

"That's different."

"What's the difference, senior brother? You don't have to think too much. Suppose now I am in the team and you are in the team. The two of us form the best partners together, and our team has solved the Riemann hypothesis."

"It's just that the Riemann hypothesis is my main research area, so the reputation of the prover is earned by me."

Xu Qingshan moved the paper on the table in front of Liu Ruochuan.

"But now this honor belongs to you."

"Besides, you used my mathematical tools in your proof this time, which is also helping me promote it. Who knows, I can use this opportunity you gave me to become famous."

"Go ahead and enjoy your moment of glory. This time I will be your partner."

Xu Qingshan smiled, stood up and walked out of Liu Ruochuan's office.

"Green Mountain."

As Xu Qingshan's foot just stepped over the threshold, Liu Ruochuan stood up from his chair and called out Xu Qingshan.

"Ok?"

Xu Qingshan turned around and saw that Liu Ruchuan's face had regained its former spirit.

Liu Ruochuan grinned.

"Let's go eat skewers tonight. It's my treat."

"I want to eat ten skewers of kidneys!"
