Chapter 438 I Saw Its Existence!

After confirming this new research topic, Ning Chen, Tao Zhexuan and Song Xiyun couldn't wait to start this topic the next day.

In fact, the three of them are very busy at work. Tao Zhexuan is still adapting to the brain biocomputer technology, and Ning Chen and Song Xiyun still have to deal with the work related to the science fiction island, but this will not affect the proof of the Goldbach conjecture.

Because when a job is important enough, they can change their plans and put more energy on more valuable research topics.

After arriving at Ning Chen's office, Ning Chen, Tao Zhexuan and Song Xiyun prepared for today's research.

"Professor Tao, next we need to enter the brain biocomputer state and connect each other's brain biocomputers. At the beginning, you just need to cooperate with me. After adapting to this state, you can gradually act freely..."

Listening to Ning Chen's introduction, Tao Zhexuan nodded from time to time, realizing what an incredible way of working this is.

"I can't believe that brain biocomputer technology can be applied in such an efficient way. Academician Ning, I will adapt to this new way of working as soon as possible to help us complete these tasks quickly."

After explaining the working methods and various precautions, the three people started working immediately.

The three people turned on their own brain biocomputers, and Ning Chen skillfully connected the brain biocomputers of the three people together and began to deal with various problems.

The connection of brain biocomputers looks simple, but for problems of this level, this work is far more complicated than imagined.

If you just connect multiple central processing units together like a supercomputer, although you can solve problems with very large computational workloads, you can't solve problems with extremely high difficulty.

Because many complex problems test the "single-core" processing performance of biocomputers, in the actual calculation, it is the brain performance of each biocomputer.

Therefore, only a biocomputer host like Ning Chen, who has outstanding brainpower, can handle such a complex problem.

Such a biocomputer host is very difficult to find. Looking around the world, there are probably only a handful of people who can reach this level.

Fortunately, Tao Zhexuan and Song Xiyun both have such powerful abilities, which makes it very possible for them to solve the Goldbach conjecture together.

When this work just started, Tao Zhexuan seemed a little cautious. After all, he had just tried this way of working, and he was not proficient in many places. Tao Zhexuan was afraid that if he made a mistake, it would affect the progress of the whole work.

But as the work progressed, Tao Zhexuan gradually adapted to this feeling, and worked very tacitly with Ning Chen and Song Xiyun to perform various calculations of the brain biological computer.

Facts have proved that Tao Zhexuan's ideas were completely over-concerned. With Tao Zhexuan's ability and stability, there would be no problems in these works, and the work efficiency was surprisingly high.

Even Ning Chen couldn't believe it. This was only Tao Zhexuan's first day doing such work. The speed of adaptation was not even slower than himself and Song Xiyun.

After working for ten hours a day, Ning Chen hurriedly cared about Tao Zhexuan's physical condition.

"How is it, Professor Tao, how do you feel about this new way of working?"

"At first I felt a little uncomfortable, but after two or three hours, this intensity was gradually accustomed to and accepted by my body. I think starting tomorrow, we can continue to increase the intensity of work, which will allow us to complete all the proofs of the Goldbach conjecture more quickly..."

What surprised Ning Chen was that Tao Zhexuan did not feel that the work of the day was very hard, and he continued to increase their work intensity.

With some doubts, Ning Chen conducted a more detailed examination of Tao Zhexuan's physical condition through Xiaozhi's information perception function.

After a careful examination, the results obtained by Ning Chen did not contradict Tao Zhexuan's words.

Although Tao Zhexuan's current physical condition is already very high-loaded, it has not reached its limit and still has the potential to continue to increase the intensity of work.

You know, when Ning Chen and Song Xiyun used the connection of the brain biological computer to work together, the working hours every day often reached sixteen hours or even longer.

"Okay, Professor Tao, starting tomorrow, we will continue to increase our daily working hours, but the increase should be slow. Teacher Song and I have had almost no rest for a month. This kind of work intensity is definitely something that no one else has ever accepted."

"Haha, this kind of work intensity really shocked me, but since Academician Ning and Teacher Song can do it, I can give it a try. I hope my body will not let me down and allow me to withstand the higher intensity of work."

After finishing a day's work, Ning Chen used Xiaozhi's task progress estimation function to evaluate the work progress of the three of them.

Ning Chen still feels very good about himself. Although this is only the first day of work, and everyone has not yet invested in the best state, the overall work effect is still very good.

And Xiaozhi's task progress assessment also made Ning Chen very satisfied.

"I really didn't expect that only the first day of work would complete 2% of the total workload. According to this work progress, it is entirely possible that we can completely solve the Goldbach conjecture within one to two months..."

Thinking of this possibility, Ning Chen couldn't help but feel excited from the bottom of his heart. Although Xiaozhi's work progress assessment function only serves as a reference, after so many verifications, it still proves that Xiaozhi's estimate is very accurate.

Of course, Ning Chen will not take it lightly because of this. After all, in the future work, they may encounter many unexpected difficulties, and many problems are difficult to foresee at the beginning.

Sure enough, a few days later, the things that Ning Chen worried about suddenly appeared.

Originally, according to their normal work plan, the daily work progress would move forward normally, because their total workload is a limited value, and it is impossible for the workload to increase.

But when the progress of the work reached a certain point, Ning Chen, Tao Zhexuan, and Song Xiyun all realized a terrible thing.

"Academician Ning... If we continue with this progress, our remaining workload will become more and more terrible."

When Tao Zhexuan said this incredible conclusion, Ning Chen and Song Xiyun also understood what was going on.

Because the number of prime numbers is infinite, if you want to prove that every prime number meets this situation, the number that needs to be proved in theory is infinite.

In Tao Zhexuan's thinking before, this problem was not considered, but the effect that Tao Zhexuan hoped to achieve was to summarize a proof method applicable to all conditions, so as to transform the infinite proof process into a finite proof process.

But it turned out that Tao Zhexuan's thinking still did not exhaust all situations. Some prime numbers with very large numbers have some special features that no one expected.

Under such setbacks, Ning Chen, Tao Zhexuan, and Song Xiyun had to temporarily stop the work at hand.

"I'm sorry, Academician Ning, I still haven't found a universal way to solve the Goldbach conjecture. Perhaps my ability has not yet reached this requirement, and Academician Ning is disappointed..."

Tao Zhexuan's mood seems very depressed, and it can be seen that Tao Zhexuan really doesn't want this situation to happen.

In fact, Tao Zhexuan was a very calm person before. He would not easily feel depressed because of a little setback in the research process, but could deal with these problems very patiently.

It's just that this research is completely different from all of Tao Zhexuan's previous research. In this work, Tao Zhexuan has particularly great expectations and also bears extraordinary pressure.

In addition, Tao Zhexuan also understands that the problems that have arisen now may not be solved by himself at all, which makes Tao Zhexuan feel so desperate.

Compared with Tao Zhexuan, Ning Chen seems much calmer, knowing that things are far less desperate than Tao Zhexuan feels.

Because according to Xiaozhi's progress evaluation, their current progress in this work is only temporarily stagnant, and there is no progress regression or even zero progress.

This is enough to prove that their previous work is very meaningful, and not all useless. As long as the current bottleneck is solved, the project can continue.

Thinking of this, Ning Chen first patiently persuaded Tao Zhexuan.

"Professor Tao, don't blame yourself too much for this. This is all very normal. When I was conducting various research, I almost never encountered a smooth situation. We just need to patiently analyze these problems and then find the corresponding solutions..."

Under Ning Chen's patient persuasion, Tao Zhexuan's mood gradually eased, knowing that there was really no need for him to be so frustrated.

When problems arise, all negative emotions are of no help in solving problems, but will increase difficulties in vain. Tao Zhexuan, who understands this feeling, naturally does not need to continue to fall into this state.

However, after discussing for a while, Ning Chen, Tao Zhexuan, and Song Xiyun did not find any good methods, so they could only temporarily stop their research and wait until they think of a better method before continuing their research.

After returning to his room, Ning Chen gradually felt some frustration, because the problems they encountered at present were indeed not so easy to solve.

Even if Ning Chen could persuade Tao Zhexuan with some words, if these problems could not be solved, no matter how beautiful the words were, it would be meaningless.

"Hey... I can't redeem another subject level upgrade experience card from the system. I don't want to go through this way of solving problems again."

The high exchange price of the subject level upgrade card is only secondary. More importantly, Ning Chen doesn't want to use this prop that is very dependent on the system again, which will greatly reduce Ning Chen's sense of accomplishment in solving these problems.

Now that such a decision has been made, Ning Chen will still rely on his own strength to try to solve this problem no matter what.

"It is definitely unrealistic to improve the level of mathematics in a short period of time. However, with my current ability in mathematics, it is not necessarily impossible to achieve these breakthroughs."

Currently, Ning Chen still has tens of thousands of points of subject experience before he can raise his mathematics subject level to Level 5. A few months would definitely not be enough for a normal improvement.

However, Ning Chen also knew in his heart that Goldbach's conjecture was not as difficult as Riemann's conjecture. Perhaps level 4 mathematics would be enough to solve Goldbach's conjecture.

Supported by this belief, Ning Chen turned his brain power to its maximum and began to summarize their work these days.

"In fact, the core of solving this problem is to describe the prime numbers more accurately and find the rules that can uniformly summarize these prime numbers. We can try to construct a new mathematical model and modify the original mathematical tools..."

Unknowingly, Ning Chen has entered a very selfless state. This state is very special and is completely different from the previous "flow state", "focus mode", "deep learning state", etc. The same, but a new state that combines these states.

Even among them, there is a magical state similar to brain simulation. Even Ning Chen himself can't explain how he entered this state.

Not caring about thinking about this problem, Ning Chen quickly took advantage of this situation to re-construct the mathematical model about prime numbers, but unexpectedly discovered a new phenomenon.

"I... seem to have seen the existence of prime numbers!"

This kind of "seeing" is not seeing with eyes in the conventional sense, but Ning Chen feels the objective existence of prime numbers in his mind, just like seeing the existence of a type of matter, which makes Ning Chen feel very incredible.

This was the first time that Ning Chen directly felt the objective existence of this abstract concept through such a vivid way. This made Ning Chen realize that using a model to describe prime numbers is probably a completely realistic thing.
