Now, Carlson was worried about exactly that, but after careful consideration, he still felt that Tian Gang’s point made more sense.
Perelman is a madman!
What normal person would refuse a million-dollar prize?
So Carlson temporarily held back from publishing the review results of the proof for the np problem, instead having the institute’s staff contact Zhao Yi to confirm the review’s approval and to inform him of the upcoming award ceremony and invite him to M Country to receive the prize money.
...
The Clay Research Institute sent an email to Zhao Yi’s personal inbox, then waited for his reply, planning to announce both the review results and details of the award ceremony after confirming Zhao Yi’s attendance.
But Carlson was being rather naïve, thinking that Zhao Yi didn’t attend the mathematicians’ conference because the Fields dal prize money was insignificant and, as the universally recognized world’s number one mathematician, he did not need mathematical awards for embellishnt.
In reality, Zhao Yi had no interest in going abroad.
That very day, Zhao Yi saw the email from the Clay Research Institute and, though he was sowhat tempted by the million dollars, the ntion of traveling to M Country for the award ceremony promptly led him to disregard it entirely.
A million dollars? Travel to M Country to receive an award?
"Never mind the risk, I make several hundred thousand in minutes!" he thought, with no interest in traveling such a distance for a million. Perhaps if the amount had been in ’billions,’ he might have been a little more excited.
Zhao Yi was also engaged in a "very profitable" research project—main spindle technology developnt for Red Wind Industry.
Main spindle technology is an application technology, and the research results are patentable. A single spindle could hold more than a dozen or even several dozen patents. Even setting aside patent rights, Red Wind Industry, a leading company in the heavy manufacturing sector and military-industrial complex within the country, collaborated to develop the electric spindle, initially funding just five million.
This was because there was no clear "prospect" seen.
Until Zhao Yi made initial contact with electric spindle technology, with no related achievents or contributions to show, it was difficult to convince others of his research capabilities. As soon as he made so progress in research and developnt, subsequent funding would undoubtedly flood in, perhaps by the ’tens of millions’ or ’billions.’
Furthermore...
He had purchased over a hundred million in secondary market shares of Red Wind Industry. Any breakthrough in research and developnt would be good news for the secondary market of Red Wind Industry, encouraging investors to be more bullish on the company.
In short, this was the kind of research that "makes money."
For others, conducting a developnt project is extrely difficult, especially in applied technology, involving a variety of areas that could take a long ti to progress.
Zhao Yi was different.
What he most lacked in researching main spindle technology were Study Coins. The Warhawk-1 aircraft design had been finalized, and solving the ’NP problem’ had brought in nearly twenty thousand Study Coins, giving him an ample supply in the system.
When life was relatively free, he finally rembered to work on electric spindles. As the collaboration with Red Wind Industry had gone on for so ti, it was about ti to show so results.
After reviewing the material sent by Red Wind Industry, Zhao Yi gained a comprehensive and detailed understanding of spindle technology, morizing every bit of the ongoing electric spindle research.
Now, with a surplus of Study Coins, he could use "Derivation Law" to gradually improve and upgrade the technology and design.
In the internal structure of the electric spindle, there were many aspects that could be improved. By revising and enhancing each part, the spindle as a whole would undergo a complete upgrade and transformation.
This part was relatively simple for Zhao Yi, as he had access to comprehensive design drawings and basic technical theories— all he had to do was improve them, part by part.
However, there were two related technologies he had to study carefully: one was the Closed-loop Vector Control Technology for the electric motor inside the electric spindle, and the other was the Intelligent Monitoring System for the spindle.
Both of these were directly associated supporting technologies for the electric spindle, and dostic electric spindle technology was lagging behind international developnt—not only in the performance of the manufactured spindles themselves but also in the accompanying supporting techniques.
Red Wind Industry had made so changes to relevant docunts, but they appeared to be simplistic and outdated, lacking in comprehensive technical proficiency.
Zhao Yi aid to refine these two technologies to enhance the stability and control of the manufactured electric spindles, thereby making them simpler, more convenient, and flexible to use, with increased operability.
One week.
Zhao Yi stayed in the chanical Systems and Vibration Laboratory, working on electric spindle research and developnt, with a ’natural’ assistant—Zhu Lin, the lab’s principal investigator.
At first, when she heard Zhao Yi was planning to work on electric spindle research, Zhu Lin did not have much confidence, creating just so basic preparations. But to claim to develop electric spindle technology was a bit outside her laboratory’s focus, and she wasn’t sure how exactly to approach it.
In fact, Zhu Lin never expected Zhao Yi to do actual research and developnt.
For the past while, Zhao Yi had been involved in mathematical research; the solution to the NP problem was a groundbreaking event. anwhile, the electric spindle project had been on hold for several months.
Zhu Lin was even considering discussing with Zhao Yi the option of redirecting a portion of the remaining four million funding into the chanics laboratory’s equipnt upgrade and transformation. Since the research had halted, using the ’acquired’ funds for upgrading the equipnt still seed worthwhile.
