Chapter 92 Seeking inspiration in the dark
After Ye Kaifu left, Zhang Yuan's restless heart gradually calmed down.
Actually, it doesn’t matter. If you get confused because of an entertainment-oriented list, it’s simply a mentally retarded behavior.
Academic research depends on accident, talent, luck and diligence. It is normal that there is no production for half a year or a year.
Ye Kaifu is just a joke, and there is no special malice.
However, doing research is really a very painful thing. The moment the result is achieved, the glamorous and various halos seem to attract the attention of the whole world.
But what if it can't be done?
You can only sit quietly, stare blankly, or read other people's papers to seek that vague inspiration.
This is the first time Zhang Yuan has felt such pain. Seeing that others have achieved great results, but he has gained nothing. He will always be a little envious and doubt whether he has chosen the wrong direction.
He thought about it for so many months and had discussed it with Academician Ding several times, but found that his ideas were still too ordinary and directly rejected them.
He had enough energy, but he didn't know where to work in or the road ahead, so he could only do nothing.
Three months are not enough, it is likely to be three years, or thirty years.
Only those who have experienced this can truly experience the pain.
...
In his spare time, Zhang Yuan fell in love with the Star Library hidden in the observatory.
He finally knew why a library was set up in such a remote corner. There was no unnecessary sound here, the light was extremely dim, and he could enjoy a pure loneliness.
"...Mr. Zhang, I have a question: is it necessary to have a single ejaculation from the Euclidean space to its own local homoembryonic, continuous and full mapping?"
"This is a very difficult problem, and it should not be in a broad sense." Zhang Yuan pondered for a while.
"I'll give a simple counterexample, let the function f(z) be an integer function, and its derivative function is f'(z)=e^(z^2), so f is local homoembryo. On the other hand, f(0)=0, f(-z)=-f(z), assuming that z0≠0 does not belong to the value range of f, then -z0 does not belong, which violates the picard theorem...so, this big proposition is wrong."
"I understand, thank you for your guidance." The young man named Ichiro Yamamoto wanted to bow very habitually.
As a result, because of the lack of gravity, the whole person accidentally floated in the sky.
He struggled for a while before he aimed the infrared probe at the electromagnet and sucked himself back.
In the Star Library, a large number of people who were sick and pitiful to Zhang Yuan were gathered.
They want to study certain problems, but they have no inspiration or direction, so they can only think hard here and suffer from pain.
This group of people quickly became more familiar with each other.
Yamamoto Ichiro sighed: "Mr. Zhang, can't even solve the problem of turbulence with such a solid mathematical foundation?"
"It's too difficult. There are no particularly good ideas yet. It's normal to not be able to do such a problem."
Zhang Yuan replied: "Mr. Yamamoto, you seem to be very anxious."
Yamamoto sighed, "Because I can't achieve anything..."
Ichiro Yamamoto studied the direction of bionic electronic eyes, and he wanted to study the technology to restore the light to the blind.
According to current theory, it is not difficult to make an electronic eye, but converting the electronic eye signal into a biological signal that the brain can recognize is a world-class problem.
Yamamoto smiled bitterly and said, "After getting on the spaceship, there was no biological experiment of the little mouse, and I don't know how to study it. So I should take this opportunity to learn more mathematics. Anyway, if I have good mathematics, I won't waste my energy..."
Having said that, the anxiety on his face was still a little unconcealed.
"Persistence in the matter of our large investment but not rewarding is actually a sunk cost fallacy. I don't want to do this, and I don't want to give up..."
Zhang Yuan thought about it and found that he was not good at comforting people, so he could only use a sentence that others often said to him: "Maybe, you can take a break and find a life partner."
The atmosphere became extremely quiet, and it seemed that it was not very convincing to say this from Zhang Yuan himself.
"Thank you, I already have a girlfriend." Yamamoto smiled bitterly: "She is a doctor, she is a very good person, and she takes good care of herself in life, so you don't have to worry about me. However, she still finds it difficult for her to understand my anxious mood, and she doesn't know how to comfort me."
“Yes, it’s really hard to understand different industries.”
"Mr. Zhang Yuan, do you think that if I do nothing all day long, will I be considered lazy?"
Zhang Yuan was stunned, "It shouldn't be, you don't need to think like this."
Since the Fourth World War, the relationship between Xia and Mu countries has become increasingly friendly, but the economic sizes of the two are more than ten times different, so there is naturally a suspicion of a vassal state.
Perhaps because they are deeply influenced by their own culture, the Mu people on these spacecraft always have an inexplicable sense of inferiority. They even subconsciously believe that this spacecraft is a spacecraft of the Xia people, and useless foreigners will be thrown out...
Yamamoto asked again: "So, how do you think the boundary between scientific researchers being lazy? Does it rely on personal consciousness, or does it mean to follow the Earth civilization to see how many papers a person writes?"
"In fact, one or two years is not enough to complete a world-class problem, but being too eager for quick success and instant benefits will drive people to the direction of being valuable but easily essayed, wasting a lot of smart heads in vain."
It is difficult for a professor under the traditional system to make up his mind to challenge major issues such as XXX conjecture, because after three or five years of energy has been devoted to it, the result is that he has no results and cannot submit the work in the end and pass the assessment.
The more famous a person is, the more he cherishes his feathers. They have high abilities but dare not challenge big problems. This is actually a vicious cycle.
Zhang Yuan shook his head: "I don't know how to solve the phenomenon you mentioned. If you have a good idea, you can even write a good paper on this aspect!"
"This may be one of the key considerations for...we will consider building a new civilization."
"Yes, I do want to do this!" At the critical point, Yamamoto accidentally jumped up from the ground and floated in the air again.
"Perhaps, I can join the New Civilization School instead of doing nothing like this... I am really ashamed of this society now that I have accomplished nothing."
Zhang Yuanqing couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and silently said in his heart, "I'm going crazy again."
