The praise made Su Mucheng blink, sowhat disoriented...
She could only respond with a sweet smile, and then watched as Qiao Ze quickly stood up and enthusiastically returned to the other office.
Singing to herself, Su Mucheng began to clean up the ss on the table.
Little Su was in a good mood.
Just like that, she had made another modest contribution to the world of mathematics, so that honorary fellowship bestowed upon her by the Chinese Mathematical Society didn't seem too excessive after all.
Plus, it completely disproved the nickna "Daji" that Chen Yiwen had secretly given her behind her back.
After cleaning up the conference tables and throwing away the food boxes, she went back to the office and saw that Qiao Ze had already begun to write fervently, seemingly flowing with ideas. Su Mucheng couldn't help but express her surprise, "Qiao, have you already found your direction?"
"Hmm, first, define a Super Helical Function (S) that maps each natural number n to a point on a complex plane, creating a spiral distribution. This function's characteristic is that it can map pri numbers to specific spirals, while composites are mapped to other spirals.
Then, define a polynomial P(x) whose coefficients and degree are determined by the output of the Super Helical Function, which is used for predicting or generating pri sequences. Thus, P(x) = a0 a1S(x)^1 a2S(x)^2 ... akS(x)^k
Introduce a transformation formula G(e), representing the expression that decomposes any even number e into the sum of two pris. That is to say, G(e) = P(x) P(y) = e. As long as I can ensure that the three are consistent, I can prove Goldbach's Conjecture.
However, the first step is proving difficult, ensuring that when n is a pri, S(n) falls on a specific spiral, whereas composites are distributed along different paths. This requires precise adjustnt of paraters in the function..."
Qiao Ze casually explained,
Although Qiao Ze's explanation was detailed, Su Mucheng, as usual, couldn't understand a word.
But that didn't stop Su from playing her usual supportive role, "Wow, Qiao, it sounds very logical. Plus, you're solving the problem using Qiao Algebra, you're definitely going to make it. But even you find the first step difficult?"
Without looking up, Qiao Ze replied, "Let's not use Qiao Algebra, it sounds weird. As for the difficulty... currently, there seem to be two thods to achieve it. The first is to adjust the radius calculation thod to enable pris and composites to have different radii on the spiral. The second is to use a weighting factor w(n) related to the pri number determination function, which has a specific value for pris and another for composites.
Both thods have their advantages and disadvantages. The forr makes the computational process very complicated, especially as the numbers grow larger, direct adjustnt of the radius could cause irregular expansion of the spiral pattern, affecting visual effects and data interpretation.
The latter is more flexible and adjustable. However, it increases the complexity of the function; w(n)'s definition has to be chosen carefully to ensure clarity of the spiral pattern and effective information transmission, and the proof process will be more abstract."
Hearing his answer, Su Mucheng suddenly felt that the problem might not be so hard for Qiao Ze after all. There were thods available, and there were two of them; it was just a matter of deciding which one to choose.
It made her think of the first ti she saw Qiao Ze writing a paper.
Who would have thought that less than ten hours later, the paper would be complete.
And it was that paper that sparked a debate in the mathematical community, directly causing a math professor from the University of Cologne to fall into obscurity, and the "Duke Mathematical Journal" to lose its reputation, prompting the replacent of most of its editorial team. Yet, it had still not fully recovered its forr prestige.
She wondered how long it would take to solve the problem today.
If it could be done quickly, that would be best. So, making an irresponsible suggestion, Su said, "Hmm, in that case, I think the second thod is better. It's more flexible after all. Even if the proof is abstract, as long as you understand Qiao Algebra, you should be able to grasp it. Just make sure the proof is written in detail."
"Alright, then we'll go with the second thod."
Upon hearing Qiao Ze's answer, Su Mucheng smiled sweetly and put on her headphones to attend to her own business.
Today she had made too many contributions to the world of number theory, it was ti to slack off with peace of mind.
She had downloaded the "True Detective" series just yesterday, which would allow her to relax and give her brain a good break.
After all, dear Qiao wouldn't pay any attention to what she was doing as he had to deal with such a formal mathematical proposition in the afternoon...
A win-win situation.
Thus, the office of the Xilin Mathematics Research Institute fell silent, the girl imrsed in the movie's detective processes and the boy absorbed in mathematical proofs created an extraordinarily harmonious scene. During breaks, Su would occasionally lift her head to steal a glance at Qiao Ze, and seeing him still fluently typing, she felt completely justified in starting the next episode.
The absence of Qiao Ze getting up to move every two hours or looking out in the hallway indicated how smoothly his thoughts were flowing, as he had entered a state of intense concentration. At such tis, Qiao was not to be disturbed.
Of course, even if Su Mucheng spoke to Qiao Ze at that mont, he probably wouldn't respond. It wasn't that he was deliberately ignoring her, but effectively shutting out any unnecessary distractions.
