"Are you going to use this paper|as your graduation thesis?"

Seeing that Chen Zhou didn't say anything, Professor Ating asked again.

In fact, Professor Friedman also asked Chen Zhou this question once.

Chen Zhou's answer was uncertain.

If his paper successfully discovered the glueball that the particle physics community has been looking for for decades.

This paper on the rubber ball experiment is the most suitable as Chen Zhou's graduation thesis.

But if the rubber ball had not been discovered, Chen Zhou would definitely not have used such a "semi-finished product" as his graduation thesis.

Just like his undergraduate graduation from Yanda University, Jebov's conjecture must be perfect.

It’s not that Chen Zhou is obsessed with the pursuit of perfection.

However, this kind of perfection should be what every scholar should pursue.

Furthermore, Chen Zhou himself is a graduate student studying for a master's and doctoral degree. If he graduates in less than a year, Chen Zhou is worried that it will put too much pressure on others.

After all, he has caused more than a few PhD students to wail in mathematics.

If this were so eye-catching in physics, it would really be inconsistent with his low-key and humble style.

Of course, when Chen Zhou discussed this issue with Friedman on the phone, a smile appeared on his face from time to time.

At that time, Yang Yiyi, who was standing next to her, couldn't help but look at her sideways.

However, the glueball experiment topic is somewhat different from the difficult problem of linear representation of Artin's L-function of the Galois group asked by Professor Artin .

For Chen Zhou, the colloid ball experiment is his only research topic in the field of physics.

However, the linear representation of Artin's L function of the Galois group is not Chen Zhou's only research topic in the field of mathematics.

Moreover, compared with the Nobel Prize-level topic of the glueball experiment, the linear representation of Artin's L function of the Galois group is still a bit weak.

In Chen Zhou's mind, the Goldbach conjecture has always been the subject of his mathematics graduation thesis.

Just like the Gerbov conjecture, the Goldbach conjecture, a difficult mathematical problem that has troubled the mathematical community for nearly three hundred years, meets the requirements of Chen Zhou's perfect graduation thesis.

Although Chen Zhou is not sure when he can solve the problem, or whether he can solve the problem at all.

But he believed that he could definitely solve this problem.

No matter what, Chen Zhou would definitely not waste so much time.

So, when Professor Ating asked again, Chen Zhou came to his senses and replied: "Professor, well, I don't want to graduate yet. I still want to be your student..."

Before Professor Ating could speak, Chen Zhou immediately said, "Professor, you are a master of algebraic geometry, but I haven't learned all your knowledge yet. You are not in such a hurry to get rid of me, are you?"

Professor Ating on the other end of the phone was obviously stunned. He didn't expect Chen Zhou to say such a thing.

But he quickly guessed what Chen Zhou was thinking, and shook his head with a smile.

Then, Professor Atin teased, "Oh? Are you sure you want to continue studying with me? Then come to my office tomorrow and I will teach you algebraic geometry..."

"Uh..." Chen Zhou didn't expect Professor Ating to say this. This was not in the plan at all?

Hearing the hesitating voice on the other end of the phone, Professor Ating was quite amused.

This kid doesn't even know how to find a better excuse.

You actually told me that you wanted to learn more knowledge from me?

Why don’t you think about it carefully? How many questions have you asked me in the past six months?

How many times have you met me?

How many times have you attended my lectures?

Thinking of this, Professor Ating hesitated for a moment and muttered to himself: "He did come to this lecture once, and I only gave one lecture, so I can't blame him..."

"Ahem, professor..." Chen Zhou coughed twice and began to explain, "I am obsessed with my research and cannot extricate myself. Please wait, I will come to you tomorrow..."

Before Chen Zhou could finish his words, Professor Ating interrupted with a smile: "Are you coming to my house to see me? I haven't returned to school yet."

Chen Zhou: “…”

"Okay, I know you want to use the Goldbach conjecture as your graduation thesis, and I also hope that you can solve this difficult problem that has troubled the mathematics community for nearly three hundred years as soon as possible." Professor Ating said to himself, "After all, mathematics is the world of young people like you. You have the courage and ability to climb higher mountains..."

After hearing what Professor Ating said, Chen Zhou was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Professor, I will..."

"Yeah." Professor Atin nodded slightly.

In fact, he still hadn't said one more thing.

That is, since Chen Zhou has started his journey in the field of algebraic geometry, he should not stop.

Just as he conquered number theory, he conquered the difficult problems of algebraic geometry.

Thinking about the scene when MIT leaders found Chen Zhou before he enrolled, Professor Ating couldn't help but laugh.

He had originally planned to stop teaching students, but was suddenly assigned to do so by MIT. Naturally, he was somewhat reluctant.

But now, he felt that he had made a big profit by getting Chen Zhou, a cheap student.

Moreover, this student helped him solve the problem left by his father...

As he was thinking, Professor Ating suddenly said to Chen Zhou: "Thank you..."

On the other end of the phone, Chen Zhou, who was about to hang up, was stunned for a moment and subconsciously asked, "Thank you for what?"

Professor Atin: “Nothing…”

After telling Professor Atin about the winter vacation time he planned to apply for, he finally hung up the phone.

It was not until then that Chen Zhou understood the meaning of this thank you.

With a smile on his face, Chen Zhou began to modify the format of the paper in front of him.

As for the journal to submit the paper to, Chen Zhou naturally chose the "Annals of Mathematics".

Although there are three other mathematical journals, in comparison, the "Annals of Mathematics" is definitely the most prestigious.

I believe that no one will lower their standards when they can choose the highest quality option.

Moreover, since the paper on the Glue Ball Experiment was published in a leading physics journal.

Does this require choosing the boss of a mathematics journal?

Only this kind of journal is in line with my temperament.

Chen Zhou uploaded his submitted paper to the official website of "Annals of Mathematics" with ease, and then closed the official website of "Annals of Mathematics".

After so many days of hard work and effort, Chen Zhou finally reaped a great harvest in both mathematics and physics.

At this time, it was already January 8th.

Chen Zhou and Yang Yiyi had a brief discussion and decided to take a day off tomorrow to prepare some gifts for relatives and friends.

Afterwards, I took flight No. 10 and returned home to happily spend that year's winter vacation.

However, unlike Chen Zhou, Yang Yiyi's winter vacation is much shorter.

She estimated that she would have to rush back to LIGO a few days after the Spring Festival.

After finishing booking the air tickets and other things, Yang Yiyi turned back and focused on her research.

Chen Zhou felt a little emotional when he saw this scene.

Even Chen Zhou had to admire Yang Yiyi's self-discipline.

Although Chen Zhou has also developed a good habit of active learning, in this boring study and research life, at least he has the joy of his own knowledge growth and problem solving.

There is also systematic supervision and the anticipation of completing the task.

But Yang Yiyi didn’t have that.

She only has the joy of her own growth.

But this joy is subtle and not visible.

This is also the reason why most ordinary people find it difficult to persist.

Of course, what Chen Zhou didn't know was.

It was because of his influence that Yang Yiyi was able to persevere.

It was because of seeing the changes in Chen Zhou that Yang Yiyi realized the importance of self-discipline.

It was because of seeing Chen Zhou’s achievements that Yang Yiyi had a goal to catch up with.

In a sense, a suitable partner should also be able to make the other person better.

This is the case with Chen Zhou and Yang Yiyi.

Looking at the "research history" on the desk after the paper was published, Chen Zhou planned to sort it out briefly.

Who knows, there might be a new discovery?

Just as Chen Zhou touched the draft paper on the desk, the voice he was expecting rang in his mind.

With a barely perceptible smile, Chen Zhou calmly listened to the "announcement" while continuing to tidy up his desk.

Chen Zhou really enjoys this moment of basking in the glory of achievement and looking back on the past.

As he listened, Chen Zhou's eyes became confused.

Well, this glorious moment is a bit short...

Chen Zhou originally thought there would be two system prompt sounds, but he didn't expect there would be no more after just one.

After the voice in his mind ended, Chen Zhou slowly sat down at the desk.

He glanced at Yang Yiyi secretly, and saw that except for her eyes and hands, everything else was motionless.

He quietly supported his chin with his hand and closed his eyes.

Consciousness quickly entered the system space.

Looking at the prompt message on the display screen, Chen Zhou read on with a confused expression.

"Congratulations to the host, you have completed the task: What is a building? It is something that cannot be collapsed! (Continuous Mathematics Task)"

"Completion status: Although the host's original intention was to perfect the mathematical tool of distributed deconstruction, it would provide a new possibility for solving the Goldbach conjecture."

"But it is undeniable that in this process, the host has experienced the charm of algebraic geometry and successfully solved a major problem left by Emil Artin!"

"The relevant paper has also been submitted to the journal Annals of Mathematics. I believe that the peer reviewers will clearly recognize the importance of this paper!"

“Completion time: The review cycle to the journal publication time was automatically ignored. It took 13 months and 18 days to complete this task. From the perspective of the project itself, it took a long time!”

"Get reward: Based on the value of the host's final project paper and the impact factor of the journal in which it is published, a comprehensive consideration will be made, and 100,000 natural science experience points will be awarded!"

"Attention: Subsequent tasks have been refreshed, please check them yourself."

After Chen Zhou finished reading, the information on the display screen disappeared.

That’s right, the system prompt sound is the only one on the display.

There is no reminder message about the Glue Ball Experiment topic.

Just like when Chen Zhou solved the Cramer conjecture, before the paper that completely solved the Cramer conjecture was published.

The paper Chen Zhou submitted to the academic exchange conference committee did not receive systematic recognition.

It was not until Chen Zhou solved the Cramer conjecture at a conference and published a paper afterwards that he gained recognition from the system and completed the system mission.

So, although he was disappointed, Chen Zhou could accept it.

Moreover, Chen Zhou had also anticipated this situation.

After all, it is all based on the theoretical content he deduced on paper.

With directional guidance and error correction in the wrong question collection, the paper on the glue ball experiment topic can basically be guaranteed to be correct.

As long as there are no mistakes in the paper derivation process, there will be no mistakes.

However, in specific experimental verification, the situation is quite different.

After all, no matter how detailed the paper derivation is, it is impossible to take into account all the experimental influencing factors.

What's more, a collider is not a resistance experiment in junior high school.

At the same time, Chen Zhou also adjusted his plan at this moment.

The gum ball experiment project is a big experience treasure that is already half in hand, and he absolutely cannot let this experience treasure go wrong.

Therefore, Chen Zhou decided to return to the United States with Yang Yiyi after the Spring Festival.

Then I went directly to SLAC to participate in the final experimental plan to find glue balls.

Retracting his thoughts, Chen Zhou glanced at the personal information on the display screen.

"Name: Chen Zhou"

“Rating: Pseudo-academic master”

"Linguistics Lv3 (12000/20000)"

"Natural Sciences:"

"Mathematics Lv7 (0/500000)"

"Physics Lv6 (0/200000)"

"Chemistry Lv3 (0/20000)"

"Biology Lv1 (0/5000)"

"Applied Science:"

"Information Science Lv2 (0/5000)"

"Medical Science Lv1 (0/2000)"

"Energy Level 3 (0/10000)"

"Engineering Technology Lv3 (0/10000)"

"Materials Science Lv4 (0/20000)"

“Task: In progress (new tasks are refreshed, please click to view)”

"Note: The balance of natural science experience points is 108,000, and the balance of applied science experience points is 4,000."

After reading it, the expression on Chen Zhou's face suddenly became bitter.

The experience points gained from completing a small difficult problem are not enough to upgrade mathematics?

Although I know that 100,000 experience points are few, but when I see the experience points required to upgrade.

Chen Zhou then realized that the experience points were so low...

It takes 500,000 experience points to go from Lv7 to Lv8, and his 100,000 experience points are only one-fifth of that.

Thinking of this, Chen Zhou recalled his thoughts when he first saw that so many experience points were required to level up.

"5 hailstone conjectures, 3 more Cramer conjectures plus distributed deconstruction method, 2 more Jebov conjectures and distributed deconstruction method and research on particle accelerator diode optimization design..."

Chen Zhou couldn't help but shook his head. If he wanted to upgrade to Lv9, he might have to solve all the problems in the mathematical blueprint he had drawn...

But soon, Chen Zhou adjusted himself.

It’s better to do it than to think too much.

Chen Zhou had never thought that he would be able to reach this point today.

Moreover, the solution of this problem and the publication of this paper were just a matter of convenience.

It doesn’t matter if the experience points are less. A mosquito is still meat, right?

As long as more experience points are given for the Goldbach conjecture later, Chen Zhou’s inner grievances will be appeased.

If Professor Artin and Noether knew Chen Zhou's idea, or if other mathematicians who were deeply troubled by this problem knew Chen Zhou's idea.

There will definitely be an urge to hit someone...

What does it mean to do something conveniently?

The topic I have been researching for so many years, and you just did it easily?

Are you speaking human language?

However, no matter what, what Chen Zhou said about doing it with ease is also a major problem that has plagued the mathematics community for decades.

Moreover, because of the close connection between this problem and the Langlands Program.

Of course, Chen Zhou also knew this.

Chen Zhou's thoughts at this time also confirmed what Professor Ating thought.

Now that he has started his journey in the field of algebraic geometry, he will not stop moving forward.

The improvement of the distributed deconstruction method also requires further efforts from Chen Zhou.

Without thinking any more, Chen Zhou reached out and clicked the "Taskbar" button to enter the task template interface.

Task 2 and Task 3 are still the same as before, lying quietly.

Chen Zhou was just about to take a look at the refreshed Task 1, but his eyes were involuntarily drawn to Task 2.

He suddenly remembered the time when he was completing his graduation thesis at Yenching University.

If the paper on the colloid ball experiment is used as the graduation thesis of the physics department.

Then Task 3 will have to lie dormant until the next physics topic is completed .

Because, the topic paper that is used as a graduation thesis will take precedence over the task of completing the graduation thesis.

A paper can only complete one task, and you will not be allowed to submit the same paper to multiple journals.

In this case, his Task 3 will stay in the system longer than Task 1.

Task 1 that he completed this time was the longest task among all the tasks he had completed.

Ever since he started solving mathematical conjectures, no conjecture has lasted more than a year.

However, it took more than a year to complete Task 1.

Of course, the reason why it takes so long is because the previous task 2 takes up the graduation thesis.

"On the one hand, we need to ensure the perfect conclusion of the glue ball experiment, and on the other hand, we can start a new physics topic..."

Chen Zhou instantly made up his mind, and then looked at the refreshed Task 1.

"1. What is a building? It is something that cannot be collapsed! (Continuous Mathematics Task)"

“Task description: From the hailstone conjecture to the Cramer conjecture and then to the Jebov conjecture; from the field of analytic number theory to the field of algebraic geometry to the linear representation method of Artin’s L function of the Galois group.”

"The host is no longer limited to a certain field of mathematics, but has begun to explore more fields of mathematics and is also looking for more unknowns. In this case, please continue to build your own mathematical edifice!"

"Task Reward: Based on the value of the host's final thesis and the impact factor of the journal in which it is published, a comprehensive consideration will be made to reward natural science experience points!"

"Note: There is no specific requirement for the completion time of Task 1!"

After reading it, Chen Zhou exited the system space.

Chen Zhou has become accustomed to the system's style of issuing tasks after the appearance of continuous tasks.

I am too lazy to complain about the system's laziness.

Opening his eyes again, Chen Zhou subconsciously glanced at Yang Yiyi.

Seeing that she was still immersed in her own affairs, Chen Zhou took out a blank A4 draft paper and replanned his future plans.

This has always been Chen Zhou’s habit.

The next day, Chen Zhou and Yang Yiyi put aside what they were doing and plunged into the glamorous world of Boston.

Of course, Chen Zhou must prepare the most unique gifts for Chen Xiao, Chen Yong, and the little princess from his uncle's family.

Especially for the little princess, Chen Zhou must start cultivating good habits for her from an early age.

Thinking of this, Chen Zhou reached out for a preschool education book...

January 10th.
