From small town academic to chief scientist

[Invisible pretense is the most deadly. Do you think Zhou Shen is saving pen refills? He is telling you mortals that he can do every question. 】

[When you reach this level of pretentiousness, it’s better to pretend to be cool than to be cool. I’m really convinced. 】

[It’s really just my thinking, so I think. There are three big questions. You will know the idea after reading the questions in one minute. Which one of you can do it? Anyway, I can do it. 】

Zhou Yi saw that something was wrong with their expressions, thinking that he had not answered which direction to choose, so he continued:

"As for which direction to choose in the future, I might choose the direction of number theory. I have become somewhat interested in number theory recently."

The fourth task of the system was to solve a world-class conjecture on his own. Zhou Yi thought about the reward. The main direction behind it must be the direction of number theory.

As soon as these words came out, everyone felt that it was a bit serious but something was wrong.

Then I thought about it, damn, it was number theory.

It turned out to be number theory.

If mathematics is divided into a pyramid, those engaged in application may be at the bottom of the chain of contempt, while number theory is really at the top of the pyramid.

The queen of mathematics, with her wonderful grace, makes countless people yearn for her.

However, with the popularity of algorithms in number theory in recent years, they have also been applied to all walks of life, the most obvious ones being the field of cryptography and artificial intelligence.

When the reporter heard that Zhou Yi finally said something normal, he quickly said:

“Then I wish you all the best for Mr. Zhou’s groundbreaking achievements in number theory.

So Zhou Yi, as the national champion and the first person in the history of mathematics competitions, do you have anything to say or experience in learning mathematics to all the students in the live broadcast room and present? "

Zhou Yi touched his head in his signature manner and said:

"What I want to say is just keep working hard. As for the experience of learning mathematics, my feeling is that you just have to have a brain."

The reporter from the Huaguo Mathematics Society twitched his lips. Is it okay if he has a brain?

Are you scolding us for being brainless?

Interviewing a guy like you really makes me question my life.

The live broadcast room was flooded with views.

[Where is my brain? 】

[My scalp feels itchy recently. Am I going to have a brain? 】

"What does Dean Miao Lai have to say about the direction Zhou Yi has chosen?"

The reporter asked Dean Miu Lai.

"I hope Zhou Yi can go further and further on the road of mathematics."

Miao Lai didn't do anything in the end and answered in a decent manner.

The interview ends here.

All live broadcast rooms are also closed.

The editor who wrote the article for the public account still needs to go back and sort out the interview. I wonder if he will be autistic when writing the interview for Zhouyi.

As for establishing Zhouyi as an inspirational youth, Zhouyi's honor and standards are not enough, and it may not be possible to win an international mathematics award.

The annual gold medal in Qiu Sai, the two naming awards of COMAP and SIAM in Meisai, and the students with various honors have not been publicized. These people are still from Beijing University and Shuimu University.

Zhouyi is only a low-ranking school, and it is not worthy of being established as a model.

It can only be said that it has gained great fame among undergraduates in colleges and universities across the country.

And the fame is only limited to the country.

What's more, ordinary people don't pay much attention to mathematics, and civilians will only complain that this kind of competition is meaningless.

Talents who can solve Goldbach's conjecture cannot be cultivated.

It's just a group of question-solving students who know how to do questions.

Some master's students have published in top journals but have not been established as examples.

A third-year junior high school girl solved a certain world-class conjecture and it was not established as a template, let alone Zhouyi.

Forcibly erecting it becomes a typical example, and more likely to become a joke.

Virtue does not match.

Next, Zhou Yi and Miao Lai took a group photo alone, and then the winning contestants who had not yet left also started taking pictures one after another.

To be able to stand out from countless people and win an award is already a distinction to be proud of your peers.

If these people do not give up mathematics in the future and engage in the mathematics industry, they will definitely achieve something.

As for Zhouyi, he is a monster.

At this moment, many professors from schools came towards Zhouyi,

They all said:

"Zhou Yi, we came to Beijing University for graduate school. There is no doubt about our mathematical status at Beijing University."

"Our Chinese Academy of Sciences is not bad, come to our Chinese Academy of Sciences."

"Zhou Yi, Aurora University is your best choice."

"Zhou Yi, don't listen to them. Come to our Shuimu University for graduate school. You will have the opportunity to become a disciple of Mr. Qiu in the future. We also have a Fields Medal winner in Shuimu."

Many professors talked to each other and tried to win over me.

Obviously, Chongqing University cannot accommodate such a seedling.

In the fourth round of subject evaluation, it seems that Chongqing University didn’t even get an A. Because of this, the principal of the school was even replaced.

Zhou Yi smiled and said:

"Thank you professors for your kindness. I am only a sophomore now. I will consider it later."

Zhou Yi refused with a smile, for fear of leaving a reputation of being ungrateful.

To get involved in the Chinese scientific research circle, you really need to have some connections.

After declining one by one, Zhou Yi and others returned to the hotel, packed their things, and boarded the evening flight back to Yuzhou.

Along the way, the smile on Miao Lai's face never stopped.

The senior Tang Menghua on the side was also lucky and won a national third prize.

"It's really too difficult this year. In the past, I could get the second prize at the national level with 40 points. This year, I only got the third prize. Damn it."

On the plane, Tang Menghua complained.

The dean on the side seemed to have remembered something and said:

"Meng Hua, you have good grades, high GPA, and all the awards you deserve. You have achieved good results in national competitions, American competitions, and mathematics competitions.

You just missed the SCI paper, so I suggest you choose a topic carefully for your graduation thesis, and don't graduate just for the sake of graduation. After all, you have already gone to Aurora University, so if you have a good graduation thesis, it may be better. "

Miao Lai is not worried about Zhou Yi's future, but he is a little worried about this senior student. It seems that Tang Menghua's resume is gorgeous, but if he went to Aurora University where Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, it may seem ordinary.

Tang Menghua said:

"Okay, I understand, Dean."

Dean Miao Lai seemed to have thought of something and said:

"By the way, don't do anything academically dishonest and don't jeopardize your own future."

Miu Lai's tone was warning, and he obviously knew something.

Zhou Yi also knew something about it. Some people wanted to get the attention of their tutors. Every year they would hire a gunman to write their graduation thesis. They took risks and were eventually discovered and were accused of academic misconduct.

Tang Menghua said:

"Well, I won't."

At this time, Miao Lai asked Zhou Yi:

"Zhou Yi, do you really want to study number theory?"

Zhou Yi nodded and said:

"Well, I have become interested in number theory recently, and I plan to go back and take a look at the content of elementary number theory."

When Miu Lai heard this, he couldn't help but sigh,

What young genius wouldn't be interested in number theory?

When they were young, weren't there a bunch of peers who were interested in number theory, but they changed their direction only after experiencing a beating.

"Just make your decision. Among the domestic universities with good number theory are the Morningside Mathematics Center of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing University of Science and Technology, which is also good. There are also one or two people in other strong mathematics schools who are doing well.

If you think about it then, tell us and we will contact the tutor. With your current results, you should go to any of these schools. "

Miu Lai said seriously.

Zhou Yi nodded, having a good mentor and some cutting-edge results and advanced ideas is certainly better than working alone behind closed doors.

Time passed, and it was already evening when Zhou Yi and others returned to Chongqing University. They took a taxi directly from Jiang B Airport back to the SPB campus.

At the school gate, Zhou Yi asked shyly:

"Dean, are you talking about the reward?"

Miao looked at Zhouyi and said:

"I will try my best to get the most rewards for you. Anyway, the rewards given to you by the Institute of Mathematics and Mathematics will not be small. You are number one in the country. This award alone starts at 10,000 yuan. In addition to the two District 2 papers you published,

As well as additional rewards from several of our institutes, the total sum is conservatively estimated to be no less than 30,000. "

Zhou Yi asked again:

"When will you come down?"

Miu Lai said:

"Before the holiday, it will definitely arrive in your account. If not, I will pay it to you personally."

Zhou Yi was overjoyed and said:

"Thank you, Dean."

"Well, let's all go back and rest. Prepare well for the final exam. Don't win the championship by then. You still haven't got full marks in the final exam."

Miu Lai ordered.
