Chapter 190 High-End Interview
Lot Dugan is fast.
Although some new content was added, it only took two days to complete proofreading and typesetting, and the special issue was printed on the third day and updated simultaneously on the official website.
There are still differences between the official version of the paper and the original paper. A theorem has been added and three new conjectures have been proposed.
The development of mathematics is actually like this. After mathematicians solve a problem, they will find that there are still a bunch of problems waiting for them. This is the normal state of mathematics.
Therefore, the solution of every difficult problem is a landmark event in the history of mathematics.
Specific to the Riemann Hypothesis, its significance is probably its profound impact on the distribution of prime numbers, cryptography and modern mathematics.
Especially for mainstream encryption methods such as RSA and ECC. If the distribution of prime numbers can be further accurately quantified using Qiao Yu's method, it means that there can be new prime number generation algorithms.
Even though ECC encryption mainly relies on the discrete logarithm problem of elliptic curves, the proof of Riemann's hypothesis can still improve the understanding of the properties of the logarithmic field and affect the way to select secure elliptic curve parameters.
In short, there is no doubt that when Qiao Yu's method is thoroughly understood, there will most likely be a new innovation in the computer algorithm world, resulting in many new and more effective algorithms.
Of course, someone may also find a way to crack various existing encryption algorithms.
This is how science develops. There are no good or evil tools. What is recorded is nothing more than the contribution of mathematicians.
For specific people, everyone has their own ideas. But for the general environment, it is probably just to cheer up...
There was no way, Qiao Yu was on the hot search again and again! It was still a hot search of various types. Then it became a mess.
If there is any difference between this time and the hot searches not long ago, it is probably that the official media has directly stopped this time.
Of course, the fate of the official media is different from that of the self-media. Not only did they directly quote the news from Princeton’s official website in the news starting at 7 o’clock, they also had the extraordinary ability to directly interview several reviewers and Qiao Yu’s mentor Tian Yanzhen
.
This also allowed Qiao Yu to solve the Riemann Hypothesis. The news occupied the seven o'clock news longer than last time, a full two minutes.
The last time Qiao Yu was on the seven o'clock news was because he gave the opening report at the World Congress on Algebraic Geometry.
In that news, the main beneficiary was Xingtie No. 1 Middle School, which was mentioned three times. This time it was naturally Yanbei University and Yanbei International Mathematics Research Center.
The biggest difference between the two same seven o'clock news is that the last news only used a video of Qiao Yu giving a report at the conference. This time Qiao Yu also appeared in the news together with Tian Yanzhen.
Moreover, Qiao Yu was given nearly 40 seconds of footage, more than 20 seconds of which were close-up shots.
No way, this time not only Qiao Yu was mentioned on the seven o'clock news, he was even mentioned in the regular press conference of the diplomatic unit in charge.
"We have noticed that Qiao Yu, a young Chinese mathematician, has made remarkable achievements in the international mathematics community-successfully solving the Riemann Hypothesis.
This discovery not only marks a great breakthrough in the field of basic mathematics, but also fully demonstrates the potential and wisdom of Chinese youth in global scientific research.
Qiao Yu's success is inseparable from his own hard work and outstanding talent. It is also inseparable from the emphasis that my country's education system places on basic subjects and the support from all walks of life for young people's scientific research.
The Chinese government sincerely congratulates this achievement and hopes that this achievement will inspire more young people to devote themselves to basic scientific research and contribute to the advancement of human civilization."
These days, as long as you open various small video software, this specially edited video will be everywhere.
There is no other reason. Qiao Yuzhen is a mathematician born and raised in China. Naturally, no amount of publicity can be exaggerated.
For Qiao Yu, he thought that solving the Riemann Hypothesis meant that he would have a happy summer vacation.
Next, he only needed to deal with his computing platform step by step. But obviously, things were not as he thought.
In fact, after proving the Riemann Hypothesis, Qiao Yu suddenly found that he was even busier.
…
The day after the paper was officially released, Qiao Yu received a call from Tian Yanzhen early in the morning.
"Don't go out today. We have an exclusive interview. The host and team from the main station will be here around nine o'clock."
"Ah? I plan to go to the computer room in Huaqing today. Besides, didn't I have an interview yesterday? Why are you here again?"
"Last time it was the seven o'clock news. This time the main station planned a high-end interview, which was a one-on-one interview. What? Are you still not happy? Let me tell you that this high-end interview has previously interviewed political figures from various countries.
The first people in the scientific community who are qualified to receive exclusive interviews are Nobel Prize winners and world-renowned scientists. The main station is willing to make a special episode for you, so you can enjoy it secretly. I have not even been on this program.
Anyway, you should get up quickly now, dress up freshly, and then go to my office after breakfast. I will be there around 8:10 at the latest."
Okay, no more options.
After the interview yesterday, Tian Yanzhen was still discussing with him whether to give a lecture at Yanbei University before going to the World Congress of Mathematicians.
In addition to discussing Qiao Yu's paper, we also need to discuss the development direction of mathematics in the era of Qiao Riemann's theorem.
Most of the content required Qiao Yu to think about it. Then Qiao Yu rejected it.
The reason is that the World Congress of Mathematicians is coming soon. At this time, inviting people to come all the way to China is meaningless. It is better to just go to the conference and give a casual talk.
Of course, Qiao Yu is not actually thinking about other people. The main reason is that he has been exhausted by the reviewers in the past two months. Now he feels like vomiting if he talks about this paper again...
If a report meeting is held at Yanbei University in the near future, it means that Tian Yanzhen and Yuan Zhengxin will invite a lot of old people over again, and everyone will gather around him to discuss a lot of issues. Qiao Yu thinks that people will go crazy like that.
The most important thing is that there are already a bunch of invitations in the mailbox. Schools and mathematics institutes across the country that consider their mathematics majors to be acceptable have sent invitations to him to give lectures.
The reason Qiao Yu gave for rejection was that his supervisor said that before accepting invitations from other units to give lectures or seminars, he had to hold the first lecture at Yanbei University.
So if Yanbei University’s report meeting is held, there will be a bunch of invitations to deal with. You can’t refuse all the sincere invitations...
Even if Qiao Yu wanted to do this, Tian Yanzhen and Yuan Zhengxin would not agree. After all, many of the units that invited him in China were his senior brothers. Many of the units that invited him abroad were also related to Director Tian and Mr. Yuan.
Well enough.
In short, Qiao Yu feels that the report meeting must not be held before the summer vacation. As long as it is held, it means that his summer vacation will be ruined again!
However, Qiao Yu is not too resistant to accepting an exclusive interview. After all, he has experience in this field. He accepted an exclusive interview with the Evening News when he was in Star City, and he knows all the tricks.
The interviewer will tell him a few preset questions first so that he has a good idea, and then he can answer them according to the questions during the interview.
Although one was a local newspaper and the other was a main station program, Qiao Yu felt that the process was very different. Director Tian asked him to go there in advance. Most likely, the reporter responsible for the interview had already contacted the instructor and sent him the questions.
But Qiao Yu feels that he doesn't need to be afraid of saying the wrong thing. The whole world has a high tolerance for minors. And he is not yet 18 years old. He can be exempted from misdemeanors by saying "he is still a child".
Well, if he said a few wrong words, no one would care about him.
The only pity is that the underage shield can only be used for another eight months. Every time he thinks about this, Qiao Yu feels a sense of loss.
Time flies so fast, in the blink of an eye, he is almost an adult!
But then again, for other mathematicians, they are probably looking forward to Qiao Yu reaching adulthood soon, otherwise he will look like a waste in comparison.
In short, although Tian Yanzhen made a special call to ask him to get up early, Qiao Yu still lazily picked up his phone and took a look.
Yesterday’s WeChat was as lively as ever.
After the official statement from the Princeton website was released, confirming that his paper passed the reviewers' review, his WeChat account has been very busy.
A bunch of people came out, but it seemed to be particularly lively yesterday, because even the class group of Class 13 kept @ him.
Although this group of people most likely don’t know what the Riemann Hypothesis is, they have all seen the diplomatic spokesperson’s evaluation of him...
Then a group of people started discussing in the group. The group was all about a series of interactions between them and Qiao Yu when they were in junior high school.
"Damn it, I told those idiots in my class that Qiao Yu had written a self-criticism for me back then, but those idiots still didn't believe me! @Qiaoyu, come out and testify for me!"
"What does it mean to have written a self-criticism? Qiao Yu and I are really good friends. The leave note I used to skip class was the signature that Qiao Yu helped me imitate my father's handwriting. Am I proud of it?"
"No, why are you so proud of each other? I still have Qiao Yu's manuscript and his autograph in my hand. You don't have this, right?"
The last message was sent by Zhou Shuang, his former deskmate, and he also included a picture, which was exactly what he scribbled when he explained the topic to Zhou Shuang on the third day of junior high school. The handwriting was so ugly that Qiao Yu didn't want to admit that it was his manuscript.
Anyway, Qiao Yu looked through the group chat content and was too embarrassed to bubble up in the group.
Sure enough, there was always someone to help him remember all the dark history clearly. Things that he couldn't quite remember, these classmates in Class 13 still remembered them so clearly.
Sure enough, these people are not stupid, but their wisdom is not used in the right way. With such a strong memory, even if they memorize it by force, they can memorize the examples of various subjects in junior high school, and they will not go to vocational school no matter what.
Not only the group chat, several classmates who added friends also chatted with him privately. For example, Zhou Shuang.
After repeating his studies for a year, this guy was successfully admitted to the high school division of Xingtie No. 1 Middle School, and even got into an express class.
However, the content of these private messages also made Qiao Yu not sure how to reply.
Check out the correct version one by one!
"Fuck, Qiao Yu, you are so awesome now! Yesterday wasn't Saturday. The head teacher specially sent a notice in the group. Everyone must watch your news clips and the video of you being commented by the diplomatic boss.
And then I had to write an 800-word review!"
"I've asked about it for you. It's not just our class that needs to write, but the entire junior high school and high school. But only 500 words are enough for the junior high school. I'm considering selling the manuscript signed by you.
It should be able to sell a lot. You can help me prove it later."
These two WeChat messages reminded Qiao Yu of the conversation he had when the good old man asked him to practice his handwriting in the third grade of junior high school.
At that time, Qiao Yu said confidently that if he was really good at success in the future, would he still need to care about whether those unrelated people thought his handwriting was good-looking?
Now Qiao Yu feels that he can definitely answer the question about himself two years ago - I care!
To be honest, the words were written so casually, and now I actually feel a little embarrassed.
So Qiao Yu simply pretended not to see it.
Prove that he wrote it? Impossible! Absolutely impossible!
As for the content of other students' private chats, Qiao Yu didn't know how to answer them, and just pretended that he didn't have time to read them!
Fortunately, there is actually no one chatting on WeChat, such as Xia Keke.
However, yesterday the two of them had a video call on WeChat and chatted for half an hour.
Changjun Middle School is not as exaggerated as Xingtie No. 1 Middle School, asking them to watch the video and write 800 words of their thoughts. However, the school also launched an activity to "learn from Qiao Yu and strive to become young scientists."
According to Xia Keke, this activity was required by the Provincial Department of Education. In other words, all schools in cities, prefectures, districts and counties throughout Shonan Province will probably launch similar activities in the future.
Well, Qiao Yu was very proud to hear this news from Xia Keke.
What does it mean to be an officially certified child of another family? There is no doubt that this is it! But today I seem to be able to show it off again.
As for the others who could still talk a few words, there were only three people in the friend group. However, these three guys had been silent in the past two days, and Qiao Yu actually didn't bother to talk nonsense to them anymore.
After all, he had informed them right after he proved the Riemann Hypothesis, but they didn't believe it and kept asking a lot of questions.
But Qiao Yu felt that he could forgive them.
After all, even the mathematical academician of the Academy of Sciences felt that it was impossible for him to solve the Riemann Hypothesis, so it seemed normal for the three friends to think that he was still a little behind.
So Qiao Yu quickly informed Xia Keke and three friends of the news.
"I'm so annoyed! I was originally going to work on my career today, but Director Tian called me early in the morning to tell me that the main station wanted me to participate in a high-end interview. It was still broadcast on Radio 1.
To be honest, it's good to be an ordinary person. Once you make achievements, your time no longer belongs entirely to you. I really envy you. You only need to attend class every day, and you don't have to think about anything else.
It's different for me. I don't want to go to class, and I have to worry about a lot of things every day. Researching topics, writing papers, and pursuing careers. Even my senior brothers who have graduated have to worry about me! We are all the same age, but I have to bear the burden.
So many! Hey..."
After editing, Qiao Yu first sent the message to Xia Keke. Then he copied it directly and sent it to his friend group.
Xia Keke responded quickly. As expected, high school students have good work and rest habits. Even on Sundays, they got up very early and responded quickly on WeChat.
"Wow, brother, you are really amazing! If you can appear on the main station's program every day now, wouldn't you be able to appear on the international radio station every day in the future?"
See, it turns out that people who are smart but not so good at math are better-minded and talk nicer than those who like to do math...
He had never heard such heartwarming words from the three guys in his friend group. He could only say that Keke was a good boy.
"Haha, you are right, but I can't talk to you anymore. I have to get up quickly and go to Director Tian's office."
"Go quickly, don't delay the business. Come on, brother!"
After talking to Xia Keke, Qiao Yu looked at the group of friends again, and sure enough, those three guys were still pretending to be dead.
I would rather shed tears secretly in private than bring him any emotional value. One word to describe it, scum!
But it doesn't matter. The silence of the three people can only represent their weakness. The encouragement from Keke's classmate is enough.
Qiao Yu happily climbed up from the bed and entered the bathroom. After hesitating for a second, he picked up the men's facial cleanser that Keke specially gave him during the Chinese New Year and washed his face happily.
The exclusive interview was a big deal. After all, it was a high-end program that even Director Tian had never appeared on. It was worthy of him dressing up carefully.
After spending five minutes in the bathroom, I went out in perfect condition and went straight to the cafeteria. I happily ate two beef patties with soy milk from the Xueyi cafeteria, and then went straight to Director Tian's office.
Before entering the door, Qiao Yu checked the time. It was stuck just right, exactly 8:13. Okay, it was three minutes late, but Director Tian was already waiting for him in the office.
Seeing Qiao Yu walking in, Director Tian even looked at the time, glared at him, and said, "I asked you to come over at ten past eight."
"Forehead……"
"Forget it, take a look at this outline. When reporters come later, the questions they will ask will probably revolve around this outline. You should prepare a little bit first."
After speaking, Tian Yanzhen handed Qiao Yu a piece of printed paper.
Still in such an old-school style, Qiao Yu felt that there was no need to go to such trouble, so he could just send the question to him on WeChat and be done with it...
Qiao Yu looked at the outline of the questions and roughly understood the format of this interview.
It is obviously different from the kind of interviews in newspapers, and the entire interview process was even divided into seven parts.
Part One: Growth Story;
Part 2: Research process and challenges of Riemann Hypothesis;
The third part is the Riemann Hypothesis and the world of ordinary people, allowing the public to understand the value of the Riemann Hypothesis;
Part 4: Youth Role Models and Social Responsibility... There is a sublimation in the end...
Each part is also designed with two to three questions, making seven parts a total of eighteen questions.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, so many questions? How long will this show last?"
"Half an hour, but you don't need to worry about this. After the interview, someone will edit it. Don't talk nonsense later... Forget it, come here, I will teach you how to say some questions!"
"Ah? Director Tian, to tell you the truth, I am the best at interviews, and I will definitely not talk nonsense."
Chapter completed!
