Chapter 283 Put the Bonus Directly on My Card!

A week has passed.

Edward is indeed an elder with rich knowledge. Zhao Yi learned a lot from Edward, including quantum physics, string theory and some microscopic theories.

Edward also gained a lot.

His direct gain was that he had a more intuitive understanding of the three-dimensional tremor waveform diagram, and he and Zhao also discussed and calculated some incidental fields of string theory.

For a study that only exists in theory, a week is too short a time.

Edward felt a little unfinished, and before leaving on the last day, he once again invited Zhao Yi to go to Princeton University, "You can study as an undergraduate at Princeton University and quickly get your bachelor's, master's and doctoral degrees. At the same time, the university will provide you with a full professor position. "

"Princeton is a paradise for mathematics and you will love it there."

Zhao Yi refused very directly, "I'm sorry, I like the current environment very much and have no plans to go abroad for the time being."

"What a shame."

Edward was really reluctant to leave. In the field of research, he seemed to have found a confidant. The waveform diagram was already very good. During a week of communication, he found that Zhao Yi had excellent understanding ability and his knowledge of physics and mathematics. It always gives him a novel feeling.

Even say...

When the other party first understands a piece of content, they can point out the problems with the content he listed.

This is incredible!

"Is this a genius?" Edward sighed. He somewhat understood why Zhao Yi could achieve so many achievements.

Edward also gained something else. He and Zhao Yi reached a joint research agreement to solve the boundary problem of multi-dimensional space and improve the formulation of string theory's multi-dimensional space theory.

Zhao Yi also agreed.

He knew what he wanted to study and was only responsible for mathematical calculations and thinking. As long as Edward had new ideas, he didn't need to do much work.

This is a collaboration between mathematicians and physicists.

The boundary problem of multi-dimensional space is to describe the boundary of multi-dimensional space and improve the formula to explain it.

As a simple example, a spherical surface can be described by a formula, and the area can be obtained by knowing the radius.

If there are concave and convex points on the spherical surface, other formulas can also be added.

You can know what the spherical surface looks like through the formula of the spherical surface.

The description of the boundary of multi-dimensional space is similar. The difference is that the boundary of multi-dimensional space is not a specific shape or area, but a structure that conforms to theoretical logic. The specific logic and structure require you to use your imagination, but the most basic must be consistent with existing basic theories.

For example, no one can say out of thin air that there is an iron ball in the gas.

This is inconsistent with the basic theoretical logic.

If there is an undiscovered, invisible, and temporarily undetectable fine particle in the air, it is an imagination that conforms to the logic of basic theory.

Of course.

It is still very difficult to understand. Multi-dimensional space has not been found in the main reality. The description of the edge of space can only be imagined based on the premise of "existence"——

Why are multidimensional spaces invisible or not yet discovered?

What exactly might it affect?

What is the basic support for its existence?

etc.

After waiting for Master and Apprentice Edward to leave, Zhao Yi still felt that it was mysterious. He was actually persuaded to study a theory that could only exist in his mind. Moreover, this theory was almost impossible to be confirmed and would not win the Nobel Prize in Physics. What help does the scholarship bring?

"All right!"

"Just think of it as killing time..."

Zhao Yi and Edward signed a cooperative research agreement, and they also considered their universities and applied for a project to study the edges of multi-dimensional space.

Although Zhao Yi is not optimistic about theoretical research based on imagination, the name of the project is actually very high-end. At least in China, there are very few similar studies.

Domestic attention to theoretical research in physics is not enough.

Ordinary physicists cannot get approved for similar projects at all, but Zhao Yi is different. He is indeed a mathematics professor, but he has just proved Goldbach's conjecture. He is responsible for mathematics content, and the partners he collaborates with are quite famous. Edward Witten, the project was quickly approved, and he also received a funding of 200,000 yuan.

This little funding... is better than nothing.

After Edward left, Zhao Yi began to think about the main task. The main task was to win the Nobel Prize in Physics, which must be very difficult.

Previously, he had only used computer methods to verify the new particle, that is, the Higgs particle, but even now he is still not sure that the new particle is the Higgs particle.

This is mainly because the experiments at the European Collider are not strong enough.

Even if a new particle is identified, it is known that it is likely to be the Higgs particle. However, because the experiment is not strong enough and the data is too little, it is impossible to rely on simple data to test the characteristics of the new particle, and it is impossible to determine whether the new particle is What is it.

Physics is a rigorous subject, and it is impossible to announce anything that is not 100% certain.

If the new particle is the Higgs particle, its discovery is only a quasi-Nobel-level achievement, but it may be able to win a computer award, but it is still a little short of winning the Nobel Prize in Physics.

This discovery would bring two and a half Nobel Prizes in physics.

exactly……

He is that half.

Zhao Yi felt a little worried. He didn't know how to complete the main task. The main reason was that he was still unfamiliar with physics research and his knowledge was still limited.

"It seems that I need to read more physics books and listen to more physics classes in the future."

Zhao Yi thought.

There is no time now.

Students are busy preparing for exams, and their freshman year is coming to an end.

The exam is approaching.

Zhao Yi is worried about whether to take the exam because he won the Shaw Prize in Mathematical Sciences, which will be awarded at the end of June.

"Are you going or not?"

"That's $1 million!"

"If you don't go, won't you get it? If you go, you won't be able to take the exam..."

Zhao Yi still wants to take the exam.

The final exam is a summary of half a semester of college life. Taking the stressful exam with other people is also an unforgettable experience.

he asked someone familiar.

Hu Zhibin: "You won the Shaw Prize, I know, it doesn't matter, just go for it!"

Qian Hong: "I must be attending the awards. It doesn't matter whether you take the exam or not."

Qian Zhijin: "Do we still need to consider this? One million dollars!"

"..."

Finally, Zhao Yi decided to call the award organizer and asked if the prize money could be transferred directly to the account.

The award presenter was a little confused.

The Shaw Prize has a value of US$1 million. This year’s Mathematical Sciences Award winner is only Zhao Yi, who will receive US$1 million to himself.

One million dollars!

Anyone would be tempted by an ex with such a large amount of money, but the other party said that he didn’t have time to attend the award? Do you want the bonus to be credited directly to your account?

"This is too much!"

The person who answered the phone considered that the other party was Zhao Yi, but still did not dare to curse directly. He was very grateful for his approach.

After asking people at a higher level, the people at a higher level asked the jury, as well as Run Run Shaw, who was in his nineties, and the senior management of the foundation held a small meeting together.

Run Run Shaw also attended.

Run Run Shaw, who is in his nineties, still walks very steadily. He is the owner of the Shaw Foundation and attends the Shaw Award ceremony as a guest of honor every year.

After hearing the questions reported by the people below, Run Run Shaw said calmly, "It's okay to directly deposit into the account. We can't award the award to someone else just because he didn't attend the ceremony."

Others agreed.

Someone said, "We have long determined that Zhao Yi is the winner of the mathematical sciences. That was before the publication of the paper proving the Goldbach conjecture. This further proves our vision."

"It's normal that he can't attend the award ceremony. People outside are discussing Goldbach's conjecture now. He will definitely be very busy."

"I heard that Mr. Witten just left. He has been at Yanhua University, communicating with Zhao Yi."

"I want to come..."

"For Zhao Yi, the exchange of knowledge is far more important than bonuses!"

Everyone thinks it makes sense.

Indeed!

Would a national treasure-level scholar like Zhao Yi care about a US$1 million bonus? The Shaw Prize in Mathematical Sciences has only been awarded twice, and it is difficult to say how influential it is worldwide.

so……

It's normal for Zhao Yi to feel embarrassed and not come.

In the end, they discussed and came up with the result: they paid the bonus directly to the account, but asked Zhao Yi to film a scene of accepting the award and give an acceptance speech, which they would play at the award ceremony.

…

The decision of the Shaw Foundation is fantastic.

What Zhao Yi thought was that if the other party didn't agree, he would simply go and collect the award, which would waste more than a day at most. If he went to receive the award and then fly back, he would only miss the math test.

In the end, the other party directly agreed?

It would be perfect to be able to shoot a video and say a few acceptance speeches at home without having to travel all the way.

Zhao Yi asked Fan Lei to help complete the filming work, and then continued to prepare for the exam with his roommates.

"College English", "College Physics", "Advanced Mathematics"...

Each exam took up a lot of time. Zhao Yi, like everyone else, worked hard to review the course content and went to the exam room to do the questions normally, hoping to get a good score.

The math test ends today.

A large group of students walked out of the examination room sighing. "Advanced Mathematics" is one of the most difficult subjects. Even if they study very seriously, only a few can get high scores. Not to mention, most students have not graduated from high school. If you have enough energy, can do your homework after class, and understand the questions that you don't know, you are already a highly conscious student.

Fan Lei complained as he walked, "Teacher Hu, it's true, this is too difficult. I can't do the next two questions, and I can't fill in a few of the blanks. I was confused in several choices."

Meng Zheng said, "You just didn't read the information. The questions are almost the same as those given by the teacher."

Fan Lei rolled his eyes, "Only you can! There are more than 20 big questions in that exercise book, and the original questions are not included in the exam. Who knows how to do it!" He turned to look at Li Renzhe, "How are you, boss? plum?"

"I passed it, I can definitely pass it." Li Renzhe nodded, "I didn't answer well either, but we usually get full marks, so passing the exam will definitely be no problem."

"Right!"

Fan Lei thought it was okay.

The grades of several people in Zhao Yi's dormitory are pretty good, probably because of Zhao Yi's influence. They usually play games instead of playing games. The study atmosphere is still very good. At least there is no case of playing games and skipping classes, and homework is completed on time.

Meng Zheng is a top student.

Li Renzhe's results are not bad either.

Fan Lei does have to stretch his hips a little, but because he has never been absent from class, whether he is copying homework or using other methods, his answers will basically be correct, so passing the exam is not a big problem.

It's different for other students.

A large group of students sighed, thinking that they would definitely fail the class.

This is also normal.

The failure rate of "Advanced Mathematics" is still very high. Students who usually skip classes are basically unlikely to pass. Even those who study step by step may fail even if their brains are poor and they are unlucky. Especially when Hu Zhibin is not merciless in answering questions. .

Anyway, it’s difficult!

It was quite interesting to see the students wailing after the exam.

Zhao Yi found it very interesting. He just listened to everyone's discussion and did not say anything. Others also automatically blocked him.

But it’s not easy to be transparent. When I was walking on the road with others, I saw Gao Yihua coming from the opposite side. A student quickly said hello, "Teacher Gao!"

Gao Yihua nodded towards the students who were greeting him. He looked up and happened to see Zhao Yi. He was surprised and said, "Zhao Yi? Why are you still in school?"

He was referring to the Shaw Prize presentation, which was also held today.

Several teachers also planned to watch the award ceremony together. Who knew they would see Zhao Yi in the school?

Zhao Yi stopped and explained, "I told the awarding party that if you don't go to receive the award, they will mail the medal over."

"Oh, why don't you go?" Gao Yihua didn't understand.

"Aren't you going to take an exam?" Zhao Yi said matter-of-factly.

"But……"

"What?"

"Actually, you don't need to take the exam." Gao Yihua explained with strange eyes, "We have already applied for you, because there is a conflict between the exam and the award, and all your basic courses have full marks. You can just make up the exams at the beginning of next semester for the other two courses. "

He said in a low voice, "Don't worry, I've definitely passed it, and it's a high score."

"..."

"..."

Next to them, Fan Lei, Li Renzhe and Meng Zheng were all feeling a little sour.

Is it really...

Comparing people to each other is so annoying!
