Chapter 426 Ning Chen, This Question Is Too Difficult
The progress of completing this task has not changed much before. Even after Ning Chen successfully prepared this room temperature superconducting material, the progress of the entire task only increased by less than 1%.
Ning Chen knew clearly that this was not because room temperature superconductivity had a very small role in the advancement of the industrial revolution. Just because room temperature superconducting materials were prepared did not mean that he had a full understanding of room temperature superconductivity.
Until now, Ning Chen has not dared to say that he has thoroughly understood some theories about superconductivity. At most, he has only made very significant progress in the research of superconductivity.
Fortunately, Ning Chen has now successfully achieved a breakthrough in the synthesis and optimization technology of room temperature superconducting materials, which allows room temperature superconducting materials to be applied in a wide range of applications. The actual value achieved is definitely far greater than the room temperature superconducting materials just prepared. It’s time to guide the material.
With a nervous mood, Ning Chen focused on the system task interface and checked the completion progress of this task.
When Ning Chen saw this number clearly, his nervous mood suddenly turned into excitement, and he was quite satisfied with the progress of the progress.
"Sure enough... when I successfully applied the technology of room temperature superconducting materials, the progress of the entire new generation of industrial revolution was directly advanced by more than five percent. If this continues, the task of the new generation of industrial revolution will be truly completed. , it’s not an impossible thing to do.”
Such a large progress has given Ning Chen a lot of hope, and it has also made Ning Chen's future plans much clearer.
The first thing Ning Chen needs to do in the future is to continue to improve the entire theory of superconductivity and strive to thoroughly study the issues related to superconductivity.
The result that Ning Chen hopes to achieve is to explain various theories about superconductivity in detail, and to create various superconductors as he wishes, to achieve a true level of understanding.
Ning Chen believes that this can push the progress of this task forward. Of course, superconductivity will not be the only technology that promotes the new generation of industrial revolution. The rest also include more mature artificial intelligence technology, computer technology, information technology, Interstellar navigation technology, power technology, etc.
As for the choice of research topics after solving the superconducting problem, Ning Chen did not want to choose one of these problems. Instead, he had some other ideas.
"After the superconductivity problem is completely understood, I'll settle down and study mathematics. In the past few years, I have indeed neglected the study of mathematics problems."
The reason why Ning Chen wanted to resume the study of mathematical problems was not just because of Professor Qiu Chengtong's previous entrustment to Ning Chen, but also for some other more important reasons.
The study of mathematics may not have any direct impact on the new generation of industrial revolution, but Ning Chen feels that there is a very subtle connection between the two.
The results of mathematical research may not be directly applied to practice, and it often takes a long time to even wait for the application of these results. However, to a certain extent, the level of mathematics can determine the level of human civilization. upper limit.
Ning Chen has now exhausted all his previous mathematical research results. If he continues to ignore mathematical research, his subsequent research in other subjects such as materials science may also be affected.
By that time, let alone promoting a new generation of industrial revolution, it will be difficult to even achieve a major breakthrough in a certain research.
Thinking of this, Ning Chen had already made up his mind, and Ning Chen was basically certain of the research content, which was the Riemann Hypothesis that Professor Qiu Chengtong hoped Ning Chen could successfully solve.
The Riemann Hypothesis can be said to be the most difficult problem among the unsolved problems in mathematics today. If Ning Chen really solves the Riemann Hypothesis, the significance will be very significant.
Of course, Ning Chen is also very aware of his current level. With Ning Chen's current mental index and mathematics level, there is a high probability that he will not be able to solve problems at the level of the Riemann Hypothesis.
However, Ning Chen has already thought of a way to deal with it, which is to use the subject level improvement experience card in the system backpack to temporarily reach a higher level of mathematics subject level, and then launch an attack on the Riemann Hypothesis.
After experiencing the use of the last subject level improvement experience card, Ning Chen was very shocked by the terrifying ability of this item, and began to accept this technology more and more.
Ning Chen knew in his heart that even if he temporarily possessed stronger mathematical professional abilities, if he did not have a strong enough mental index to support him, no matter how strong his professional abilities were, it would be in vain.
Therefore, Ning Chen definitely needs Song Xiyun's help this time. Song Xiyun not only has very powerful brain biocomputing capabilities, but mathematics is also Song Xiyun's main research direction. Choosing Song Xiyun as his assistant is naturally the most suitable choice. .
After having the last experience of using it, Ning Chen is also confident that he can better control the subject level improvement experience card and maximize the role of this prop.
Ning Chen estimated in his mind that if everything goes well, maybe using one subject level improvement experience card will allow him and Song Xiyun to successfully overcome the Riemann Hypothesis. Even if it doesn't go so well, two subject level improvement cards will definitely help. is enough.
In addition to solving the Riemann Hypothesis, Ning Chen also has another goal, which is to make full use of this experience card as much as possible, so that he can accumulate as much experience in mathematics as possible through this valuable process.
This is a hidden effect brought about by using subject level improvement experience cards. With the last experience, Ning Chen also knows how to maximize the accumulation of subject experience.
This requires Ning Chen to think about as many problems as possible that he could not figure out before during these precious twenty-four hours. Only in this way can Ning Chen be exposed to more problems that are beyond Ning Chen's normal mathematics professional level. Knowledge, and truly transform this knowledge into Ning Chen's own knowledge.
However, this can only be done after Ning Chen has solved the Riemann Hypothesis and there is still time left on the subject level improvement experience card. Although the accumulation of subject experience is also very important, Ning Chen certainly cannot ignore the good and pursue the last. The priority is still to solve the Riemann Hypothesis.
…………
In the days that followed, Ning Chen first went to Yanjing to deal with some scientific research and company issues.
Taking advantage of the break in this trip to Yanjing, Ning Chen made a special trip to Shuimu University to visit Professor Qiu Chengtong in person.
Now Qiu Chengtong may not be able to help Ning Chen in terms of professional knowledge, but Ning Chen still believes that he can definitely learn something from Qiu Chengtong.
Experts like this kind of veteran, because they are too old, their thinking speed is definitely not as fast as when they were young, but their experience is irreplaceable. Just like in the previous research process of room temperature superconducting materials, Ning Chen I learned a lot from Tao Wei, a quality that cannot be replaced by young experts.
Qiu Chengtong was very excited when he learned that Ning Chen was coming to see him. He even didn't even sleep well the night before, always looking forward to seeing Ning Chen.
Early the next morning, Ning Chen came to Shuimu University and walked into Qiu Chengtong's office with the gifts he had prepared.
Seeing Ning Chen coming over, Qiu Chengtong immediately smiled. He quickly invited Ning Chen to the office and asked his assistant to serve him the best tea.
"Teacher Ning, I have told you before that you don't need to bring any gifts when you come to see me. Why did you come here with something again today?"
Ning Chen was naturally embarrassed to come empty-handed. Of course, Ning Chen was also very cautious in choosing gifts for Qiu Chengtong and would not give away anything that was very tacky.
"Mr. Qiu, this is not a gift. It is just some selected papers from "Academic Starry Sky". It can be regarded as a normal academic exchange between me and Teacher Qiu..."
After listening to Ning Chen's words, Qiu Chengtong couldn't help but take out the "Academic Starry Sky" journal that Ning Chen gave him on the spot, opened it and started reading.
Just as Ning Chen said, what he gave to Qiu Chengtong was indeed the journal "Academic Starry Sky", but it was not a regularly issued journal, but a limited edition selected journal whose value could not even be measured in money. To measure.
Realizing the value of Ning Chen's gift, Qiu Chengtong was also very happy and happily accepted Ning Chen's gift.
"Mr. Ning, I really like this set of selected journals from "Academic Sky". It seems that while studying mathematics, I have to take some time to learn about cutting-edge research in other fields."
"Yes, this is indeed a good choice. I highly recommend this kind of learning method. I don't have to focus all my energy on a small subject area." Ning Chen said with a smile.
After Ning Chen and Qiu Chengtong reminisced about the past, they talked about the main reason why they came to see Qiu Chengtong this time.
"Teacher Qiu, in recent times, I have been working on materials related to room temperature superconductivity. You may be disappointed. I haven't started research on the Riemann Hypothesis yet..."
Ning Chen originally thought that Qiu Chengtong would be a little disappointed with this result. After all, he had promised Qiu Chengtong to do this, but now Ning Chen has not fulfilled his promise, at least he has not given priority to this matter. Research.
However, Qiu Chengtong obviously didn't care about this situation and quickly waved his hand and replied:
"Hey, Teacher Ning, you don't have to be like this. I have been paying close attention to the news about room temperature superconductivity recently, and I am very happy with the research results achieved by you and your team. Solving the Riemann Hypothesis is just me. It’s just an obsession, and you don’t need to devote a lot of energy to it, because in the end there may be no way to get any results.”
Naturally, Qiu Chengtong would not force Ning Chen to study the Riemann Hypothesis. He just hoped that Ning Chen could try it at the right time. Even if Ning Chen did not have time to study the Riemann Hypothesis due to work reasons, Qiu Chengtong would not force Ning Chen to study the Riemann Hypothesis. There won't be any complaints.
Of course, this will become an eternal regret for Qiu Chengtong, because if even Ning Chen is unable to solve this problem, I am afraid that others will not be able to break through the Riemann Hypothesis.
Seeing the smiling but slightly regretful expression on Qiu Chengtong's face, Ning Chen guessed Qiu Chengtong's thoughts and continued:
"Teacher Qiu, actually I came to see you today because I wanted to tell you that I have planned to officially launch an attack on the Riemann Hypothesis."
Hearing Ning Chen's words, Qiu Chengtong was stunned, and even the movement of drinking tea stopped for a moment.
"Teacher Ning... did you just say that you were ready to solve the Riemann Hypothesis?"
"Yes, the research on room temperature superconductivity has made very significant progress now, and I can also spare some time. With my current ability, although I am not yet fully confident in overcoming the Riemann Hypothesis, but At least there is some certainty.”
In front of Qiu Chengtong, Ning Chen did not speak too harshly. After all, the research topic this time was too complex, and its difficulty was far greater than the mathematical problems that Ning Chen had studied before. Even those mathematical problems put together , and cannot be compared with the Riemann Hypothesis at all.
Qiu Chengtong naturally knew the difficulty of the Riemann Hypothesis, nodded and said:
"Teacher Ning, if you can have a certain degree of confidence, it is already very good. If you can really solve the Riemann Hypothesis successfully, I will never have any regrets in my life."
In the following time, Qiu Chengtong and Ning Chen discussed issues related to the Riemann Hypothesis.
With Qiu Chengtong's ability, it is naturally impossible to solve the Riemann Hypothesis, but this does not mean that Qiu Chengtong has no clues about solving the Riemann Hypothesis. In fact, Qiu Chengtong still has some ideas of his own.
After listening to Qiu Chengtong's thoughts, Ning Chen gained a lot. This indeed brought some inspiration to Ning Chen.
"Teacher Ning, these ideas I have are just some general directions. With my current energy and thinking speed, I can no longer verify whether these methods are correct or have reference value. If you think these ideas can be tried, then please Teacher Ning, go and try it.”
"Teacher Qiu, I think your ideas are indeed worth trying. I will start this work soon after I return to Shengzhou."
"Well, that would be great if you are willing to do this. But Teacher Ning, you don't have to rush it. No matter what the final result is, we can accept it calmly."
At this time, Qiu Chengtong didn't think that Ning Chen would really succeed in solving the Riemann Hypothesis. He even thought that Ning Chen only had a 10% chance at most.
