The top student must be diligent

He still cherishes his reputation.

Forget it, don't think too much, the boat will be straightened out when the time comes.

Let's write the software first.

So, in the following time, Xiao Yi began to spend time on this mining software, trying to write it before returning home.

Time passed quickly, until about a week later.

…

"Xiao Yi, my paper is finished, come and have a look, do you have any questions?"

Xiao Yi came to Zhang Yitang's office, and the latter picked up a printed paper on the desk and handed it to Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi took the paper and started reading it.

Hmm…

I have to say that different mathematicians write papers differently. For example, Zhang Yitang likes to put out all the conditions and complete proof ideas first, and then deduce the proof step by step in the rest.

And Tao Zhexuan's ideas gradually unfold as the proof progresses.

Different writing methods also have different reading experiences for readers.

But…

For Xiao Yi, there is no difference, anyway, he can understand it.

In this way, he read it step by step, and finally Xiao Yi found some typos and some citation errors.

When Zhang Yitang found these errors in his paper, he couldn't help but feel embarrassed. Finally, with the help of Xiao Yi, he corrected the paper.

"Sure enough, it's you young people."

After correcting the paper, Zhang Yitang couldn't help but sigh.

He was a little overwhelmed even to organize the paper.

On the other hand, Xiao Yi not only read the paper quickly, but also found the errors very accurately.

I heard that the paper Xiao Yi submitted to the journal has never been sent back by the editor to ask for some typos or unclear places in the process to be revised. Just for this reason, he felt inferior.

Xiao Yi didn't know what to say about this, but just smiled and said: "I will get older too."

Zhang Yitang shook his head, "I probably won't see that day either."

"Okay, let's not talk so much, let's upload the paper now."

Then he logged into arxiv and started uploading the paper.

Of course, because they are jointly published, there is also an option to add authors during the paper publishing process.

They are both first authors, and since Xiao Yi's first letter is in front of Zhang Yitang's first letter, Xiao Yi's name is also in front.

But since they are both first authors, there is no difference.

Finally, click OK, and the paper will enter the system for automatic review, and it will probably be sent out soon.

"Finally it's done."

Zhang Yitang let out a long sigh, and then smiled and said to Xiao Yi: "There will be basically nothing to do next... Well, maybe the mathematics community will be a little lively for a while."

However, it is estimated that it will not be as lively as the paper Xiao Yi published some time ago.

After all, after the expansion of Xiao's polynomials, the proof of the Landau-Siegel zero conjecture is basically a countdown, and now they are just advancing the countdown.

"In addition, we may have to make some reports or something at that time. Do you want to join us then?" Zhang Yitang asked.

Xiao Yi was stunned, another report?

He waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, I've already given two reports last month. Let me take a break. You can go."

Zhang Yitang laughed. Giving reports is indeed a tiring thing. However, if the report is about the proof of the Landau-Siegel zero point conjecture, it can be regarded as an honor.

This kid is still unwilling?

But suddenly Zhang Yitang was startled and remembered what the two reports Xiao Yi gave last month were.

Twin prime conjecture, Xiao polynomial expansion...

Sorry, I disturbed you.

Landau-Siegel zero point conjecture is really nothing, especially it was completed after Xiao's expansion...

A little embarrassed, Zhang Yitang planned to change the subject: "What are you studying these days? Combining the circle method with Xiao's expansion?"

"Uh..." Xiao Yi thought for a while and said: "I'm writing a Bitcoin mining software."

"Write... what?" Zhang Yitang was stunned and didn't react.

Xiao Yi had to repeat it.

Now Zhang Yitang finally understood.

He looked at the young man in front of him in disbelief.

He was so proficient in mathematics, and now he was even interested in developing computers?

"Is your software written using classification screening?" he asked.

Xiao Yi replied: "Well... there is also a certain principle of classification screening in it. It is almost a byproduct of my research over the past few days. It is quite effective when used in prime factorization."

Byproduct...

Zhang Yitang's eyes twitched.

He did not ask more questions. After all, he knew that this so-called "byproduct" should be the core mathematical principle of this software.

After thinking for a while, he asked: "How is the software written? Have you encountered any problems?"

"No, I haven't." Xiao Yi waved his hand.

He may be a little unskilled at the beginning, but as he wrote, he gradually got into the state.

"It's just... I'm thinking about how to promote this software now. It feels a bit troublesome."

Xiao Yi was still a little worried about this issue.

However, Zhang Yitang said: "If this is the problem... I happen to know a Chinese boss who specializes in mining. His mine seems to have more than 30,000 mining machines, which is also very large in China." A big mine.”

"I can introduce it to you."

Hearing this, Xiao Yi was stunned.

Is there such a thing?

Chapter 131 Not even a day

As the saying goes, there is no way out despite the mountains and rivers, and there is another village with dark flowers and bright flowers.

Who would have thought that Professor Zhang could know a domestic mining boss?

There is even a big boss with tens of thousands of mining machines.

Xiao Yi couldn't help but asked curiously: "How does Professor Zhang know such a boss?"

Zhang Yitang laughed: "This is probably where our analytical number theorists have been able to make money over the years."

"Boss Huang initially wanted to develop a mining algorithm, and then develop a software to make money. "

"Then he came to me and asked me to give him some guidance on mathematics, and we got to know each other later. Later, the software he created was not very profitable, so he simply gave up and went mining in peace, but sometimes He will come up with some algorithms and ask me to help him choose the best algorithm."

"That's pretty much it."

"So if your software is really useful for mining, he will definitely support it."

Xiao Yi nodded, that's it.

But it is true that analytical number theorists are indeed experts in problems like this.

Otherwise, Satoshi Nakamoto, the founder of Bitcoin, would not be suspected of being Shinichi Mochizuki.

"In this case, I will contact Boss Huang and tell him about this matter, and then you can contact him again."

Zhang Yitang said, then took out his mobile phone and opened his address book.

Xiao Yi said gratefully: "Then I'll trouble Professor Zhang!"

"It's okay. After all, you helped me prove the zero-point conjecture." Zhang Yitang waved his hand, then he found the phone and dialed.

Soon, the call came through.

"Boss Huang, I haven't contacted you for a long time. Have you made a fortune recently? The recent virtual currency market is pretty good."

"Hey, you're going to get rich!" The person on the other end of the phone complained with a mouthful of Beijing movies: "This mining is basically an involution market. The more people there are mining, the less the income will be. Don't look at that currency. The price is rising, and the people entering the market are also rising. Now it’s a competition to see who has invested more.”

Zhang Yitang smiled and said: "Then I happen to have someone here who can introduce you to him. He recently developed a mining software. That algorithm must be a top-notch algorithm."

"Oh? Are you serious about what Professor Zhang said?" Boss Huang said, "If it is true, I will definitely entertain you well next time we meet."

"Haha, you may also know this person. He is Xiao Yi, the mathematical genius of our country. Just tell me whether you believe in the algorithm he came up with!"

"What the hell? Real or fake Professor Zhang? Can you really recommend Xiao Tiancai to me?" The person opposite was immediately surprised.

"Don't worry, Xiao Yi is next to me now."
