Just turned over a new leaf and became a wise and intelligent student

Chapter 433 Xu's Conjecture
At night, the rising smoke from the barbecue stall on the roadside of the North Fifth Ring Road appears more grainy under the street lights.

The figures shrouded in smoke seemed to be covered by several layers of thick filters, making it impossible to tell who was who.

It was around nine o'clock in the evening. Some white-collar workers who had just finished commuting from get off work in the city came out of the subway station with tired faces and had no intention of enjoying a meal at a roadside stall.

Even if you tell them, they may not believe that the world's most popular young scholar would squat on a small folding stool at a roadside stall and drink and eat skewers in an unpresentable manner.

"Here they are! Your ten skewers of kidney!"

Liu Ruochuan held the deformed and uneven rectangular iron plate, raised his long eyebrows, and placed the iron plate in front of Xu Qingshan.

The table top, which Xu Qingshan had just wiped clean with some tissue paper, was now stained with new oil stains.

"What did you order today? Ten skewers of pork kidneys, two dozen large oysters in garlic sauce, skewers of leeks, and fried garlic sprouts... Can Junior Sister handle this? You beast."

Liu Ruochuan made faces and complained to Xu Qingshan.

Xu Qingshan doesn't eat anything else and only chooses nutritious foods.

Xu Qingshan was not annoyed. He smiled and picked up the big skewer from the iron plate. He took a light bite and it was juicy and full of fishy fragrance.

"What do you know, you kidney-deficient kid? I'm different from you. I'm still quite restrained. It's the right weather, so I eat something dry to restore my energy and blood."

Xu Qingshan is obviously several years younger than Liu Ruochuan, but his accent is the same as that of Lao Deng who has been practicing health preservation for many years.

"You sound so old-fashioned when you say that. How old are you? Just keep in good health..."

Liu Ruochuan sneered. In his dictionary, there is no such word as health preservation.

Xu Qingshan glanced at him slowly and continued to eat the skewers slowly.

"You don't understand. You have to start keeping healthy when you are young. Once you are no longer able to do so, it's not called keeping healthy, it's called survival."

The conversation between Xu Qingshan and Liu Ruochuan was reasonable, but it amused the older brother who was also eating skewers nearby.

"You two little brothers over there, you're drinking and eating skewers at the barbecue stall and you're saying that you're keeping healthy? And, you handsome guy, your cholesterol is definitely above the limit! With so many kidneys and oysters, and beer, you have to be careful of gout."

Xu Qingshan: ...囧.

Liu Ruochuan was laughing secretly on the side.

When the show ended in the evening, Jiang Huanxi drove slowly over to pick up Xu Qingshan.

Liu Ruchuan, who had been mocking Xu Qingshan for not being able to drink as much as he did, helped Jiang Huanxi help Xu Qingshan into the car and watched the Maybach slowly drive away.

Liu Ruchuan still had a smug look on his face, but after standing in the cold night wind for a while, a gust of cool wind blew over and made him shiver.

"kindness?"

Liu Ruochuan realized it later and suddenly raised his hand and slapped himself.

"He has a luxury car, a wife, and a wife to pick him up when he goes out for drinks at night. His academic performance is also better than mine. What am I so proud of?!"

Liu Ruchuan had a bitter look on his face. He called his designated driver and went home to rest.

The next day.

Jiang Huanxi asked for sick leave from the two teachers who had classes today, saying that he was feeling a little unwell and needed to rest at home for a day.

However, Xu Qingshan drove out of home and returned to the laboratory refreshed.

In the morning, the two brothers met at the door of the office.

Liu Ruochuan looked at Xu Qingshan, who looked full of energy, and then used the screen of his mobile phone to take a picture of himself, who looked listless.

"Fuck you!"

Liu Ruochuan cursed secretly.

Damn it! ! !

I paid for it myself last night!!!
"Brother, if you have any questions next time, come to me. Just treat me to the same standard as last night. I'm going to be busy now."

Xu Qingshan smiled at Liu Ruchuan, his eyes showing a smug look.

He has basically completed his own work today.

Xu Qingshan spent half a day in the office, and by two o'clock in the afternoon, he had no time to have lunch.

Xu Qingshan casually took out some snacks from the drawer and ate them while repeatedly checking his seven-page paper that had been refined many times.

The idea is correct.

The direction is determined.

The system is solid.

kindness……

Xu Qingshan's fingers moved rapidly on the paper, and he fell into deep thought.

According to normal academic logic, this prophetic paper, which Xu Qingshan himself called "Xu's Conjecture", uses critical analytic fiber bundles as the basic theory and discusses the normalization and convergence law of fiber bundle mapping of prime numbers.

If the ultimate goal of the Riemann hypothesis is to enable humans to discover the basic rules of prime numbers and tell people what prime numbers are.

The ultimate goal of Xu Qingshan's conjecture is to explore the ultimate law of prime numbers and fully reveal the essence and application theorems of prime numbers.

What Riemann did was "what should be", and what Xu Qingshan did was "what actually is and how it should be used".

There is no question of superiority or inferiority.

However, Xu Qingshan, as a person who completely inherited and developed the field of number theory, basically changed the attributes of number theory.

This conjecture will find a foundation for the contents of elementary number theory and modern number theory from ancient times to the present.

It will also elevate Xu Qingshan's status in the world to the level of the founder of postmodern number theory.

The development of mathematics is gradual.

It is very likely that several centuries of development will not be as significant as one special decade.

The 19th century in particular represented the progress of mathematics from classical mathematics to modern mathematics, thus bringing about a subversive rearrangement of the value of mathematicians' academic achievements.

Later generations have shined, transforming the most basic mathematics into more detailed disciplines with greater practical value and application prospects.

The essence of science is ultimately to affect human beings.

Whether it is exploring the unknown outer space or studying magical microorganisms.

After the 19th century, the progress of human science was naturally shrouded in the shadow of a group of brilliant 19th century gods represented by Riemann.

Not every scholar who solves the century-old problem can successfully break through to the next level and field and become a pioneer of a new stage.

This was the case with Perelman, who solved the Poincare conjecture but was so influenced by the chaos in the academic world that he announced he would never appear again. The same was true of Mr. Andrew Wiles, who solved the Fermat conjecture.

Solving the century-old problem is the most shining part of their life's achievements.

But Xu Qingshan is different.

He easily crossed this level and entered directly into a new stage.

He can be called the master of modern number theory, and should be called the pioneer of postmodern number theory.

It is also because of this special relationship.

Xu Qingshan was a little confused about where to send this paper, which had programmatic significance.

He has published enough papers in the four top journals in the mathematical academic community.

For others, the four top magazines that are as difficult as climbing to the sky have become group indicators in his team.

Didn’t you see that Wang Hong was able to lead and complete a top-level paper on her own?
If the Department of Mathematics at Peking University is the Huangpu Military Academy of Chinese Mathematics, then Xu Qingshan's laboratory is simply the Huangpu Military Academy of the Department of Mathematics at Peking University. According to the private estimates of the senior teachers in the School of Mathematics, the students in Xu Qingshan's laboratory, such as Chen Gao and Wang Hong, who were trained by Xu Qingshan himself from scratch, will basically be able to obtain tenured positions in the Department of Mathematics at Peking University due to their accumulated academic achievements and honors when they graduate with their doctorates in the future.

Therefore, Xu Qingshan did not intend to publish this programmatic paper in the four top journals.

So where is he going to send it?
Xu Qingshan said nothing, just staring at the two journals in front of him.

"Science"

"Nature"

Looking at the interesting cover made up of colorful geometric pieces, Xu Qingshan kept wondering which one he should choose.

Under normal circumstances, Science and Nature rarely include mathematical papers.

After all, the mathematics community is just entertaining themselves, so even if the impact factors of Science and Nature are higher, it will not affect their evaluation results at all.

When recruiting faculty members, major universities around the world don't care too much about whether you have published in Science or Nature. The quality and quantity of mathematical publications are their main focus.

But do mathematicians really not want to be published in these two top academic journals?

It would be a lie to say I don’t want to.

But human energy is limited. How many academic achievements can a first-class mathematician produce in his lifetime?

Being able to achieve a major achievement is already a great honor for our ancestors.

There is only one major achievement, so where should I publish it to benefit my career?

No need to think too much at all.

Only a young scholar like Xu Qingshan, who has published in the four top journals and has unlimited potential and energy, has the opportunity to dream of Science and Nature.

On the other hand, not every heavyweight mathematical paper can be published in the two major journals.

The two major publications have different focuses.

Science prefers theories and technologies that can be implemented in practical applications, and needs more projects with sufficient experimental data and practical application results.

Mathematics, which relies more on abstract logic, is obviously not its core audience.

Nature prefers novel areas of innovation and natural exploration, such as in-depth exploration of medical and chemical elements or the development of research methods.

I thought about this for a while.

Xu Qingshan’s confusion is not without reason.

If we look at it from the perspective of innovation and theoretical properties, Nature seems to be more in line with what it intends to simply call critical analytic fiber bundles and quantum spectral coherence mappings for quantum analysis.

But from the perspective of practicality and applicability, quantum analysis, which has mathematics as its backbone and physics and computers as its flesh and blood, seems to be born naturally for science.

Later, Xu Qingshan thought about it and suddenly came up with an idea.

All the solutions are thought up by people.

An idea suddenly occurred to him, and he put aside the seven-page programmatic document he had compiled, and began to write and type on the keyboard to write a new paper.

Xu Qingshan, who had a finished manuscript in mind, did not need to spend too much time to write another thirteen-page paper.

Compared with the purely theoretical nature of Xu's conjecture, this paper has more formulas and derivation processes.

Xu Qingshan built a complete quantum analysis system from scratch based on critical analytic fiber bundles and quantum spectral coherence mapping.

After a long time, it was almost nine o'clock in the evening, and Xu Qingshan had not left the office at all.

Lonely, he is not lonely

In the laboratory, students will spontaneously come to their workstations to study or do research. The lights in this small building are basically always on except on holidays.

In Xu Qingshan's team, hard work often means positive feedback.

These students, who were already top scorers, were willing to follow Xu Qingshan when they saw the feedback, even if it meant working like slaves.

In a group, if someone starts to roll up, others will naturally be pulled in to roll up as well.

When there are too many people rolling in, even those who don't want to roll are forced to do so.

Fortunately, there are researchers like Liu Ruchuan who keep an eye on the students and give them mandatory vacations from time to time, otherwise I can’t imagine how chaotic things would be here.

"I knew you were still here."

There was no sound of knocking on the door, only shadows that the moonlight could not reach. A beautiful figure appeared in the office. Xu Qingshan looked up and realized that he had forgotten to turn on the light.

When he looked up to see Jiang Huanxi who suddenly appeared here, the light from the monitor in front of him flashed so fast that he couldn't see anything.

"You didn't turn on the lights so late at night. What if your eyes get damaged? I won't say anything during these special times, but after you finish your recent work, don't do this again."

Jiang Huanxi complained and walked into the house.

"Clap."

She turned on the light in the office.

Xu Qingshan narrowed his eyes before he saw the girl in front of him.

Jiang Huanxi looked much better than when she woke up in the morning, but she was still wearing her everyday home clothes and no makeup, which gave her a simple and elegant look.

She was holding a lunch box with a blue and white pattern in her hand. As she walked into the office, she placed the lunch box on Xu Qingshan's desk.
"I don't even remember to eat. I really don't know how to say hello to you."

There was some resentment in Jiang Huanxi's words, which was towards Xu Qingshan for not cherishing his body.

Although he said this, Jiang Huanxi still stood by the table. He didn't even pull up a stool. He was just busy opening the lunch box quickly so that Xu Qingshan could eat the hot meal.

"Originally, my grandma and I were waiting for you to come back for dinner, but we never got there. I sent you a message but you didn't reply, so I asked her to eat first and I'll bring the food over later. But there were too many cars on the road and we were stuck in traffic for a while. I'm not very good at driving, so I just got to school."

Jiang Huanxi kept chattering.

Xu Qingshan rubbed his eyes, and a warm feeling rose in his heart.

"It will definitely not happen again. I am done with my work today."

Xu Qingshan was surprisingly well-behaved. He didn't say anything strange. He just lowered his head and listened humbly to Jiang Huanxi's teachings, and took the rice and soup that Jiang Huanxi pushed over to him.

"Eat quickly. After you finish, I'll stay here with you to finish your work. You can have a good rest when you go back home at night."

Having said that, Jiang Huanxi couldn't help but give Xu Qingshan a blank look.

"You worked so hard until late last night, and you were able to work so hard all day today. It's all thanks to you. If it were someone else, they would have died suddenly."

Xu Qingshan ate his meal voraciously and didn't bother to tease Jiang Huanxi.

Jiang Huanxi took an hour and a half to deliver the meal, and Xu Qingshan finished it all in less than ten minutes. He burped loudly. Xu Qingshan watched Jiang Huanxi packing the lunch box slowly, then reached out and pulled her into his arms.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

Jiang Huanxi paused, sat down on Xu Qingshan's thighs, glared at him, and continued to pack her things.

"Don't worry about that for now. Come on, take a look at these two papers. Which one do you want to be published in Science and which one in Nature?"

"Is this still an option?"

Jiang Huanxi blinked, put down the lunch box, and curiously picked up the two papers on the table and started reading.

After a few minutes, she gave up.

It’s nothing, I just don’t understand you.
