Reshaping life starting from the Junior Class of HKUST

Chapter 215 The Polignac Conjecture

The day after Wu Zhe was commended, Renren Daily published a commentary on "Definition of Youth Idol", which even used Wu Zhe as an example, hoping that there would be more youth idols like Wu Zhe, and not to blindly pursue so-called traffic stars.

In the end, the article ended with Wu Zhe's yesterday's "Live up to the motherland, live up to the prosperous age. Be worthy of yourself and the era. You and I are both dark horses, and I hope you will meet at the peak."

The recent news headlines have been dominated by Wu Zhe. Originally, many Xiaoxianrou Xiaohua and the brokerage company were quite critical of Wu Zhe, thinking that he was blocking their way, and originally wanted to find some people to discredit him.But when Renren Daily's comments came out, everyone died down.The key is that there is no one like Wu Zhe among the artists under the banner, not too many, a Xueba personality can make them gain a foothold in the entertainment circle.

After a few days of bustling school life, Wu Zhe finally recovered his calm, and everyone in 303 also entered the state of study.

Even Wang Chao changed his detached temperament, while reviewing the exempted content, while observing the stock market, he didn't enter the market immediately, he was still modifying his trading analysis system, he had an idea, but he couldn't figure it out, Let Wu Zhe and Shen Zhiwen help write the program.

The "dream gene self-examination method" project team has also been established recently, and all the personnel are already in place, and the school has specially approved an office building, where there will be permanent staff.

The personnel of each department are also arranged in place: academician Zhang Wei and academician Qi Zhixin are the leaders of the project team.

Candidates for deputy team leaders: Wu Zhe from the Junior College, Cheng Gang from the School of Biology, Wang Xiaoping from the School of Computer Science, and Feng Guodong from the School of Physics.

There are more team members, basically all of them are PhD candidates.

However, no one objected to Wu Zhe's recommendation of Huang Minghai and Shen Zhiwen to join the group.

No one will underestimate Wu Zhe, the young deputy team leader. In terms of the breadth of knowledge, many professors do not have as much knowledge as Wu Zhe.Now that is to say, Wu Zhe's qualifications are too shallow, and the depth of some subjects is not enough.It is not difficult to reach a high level in time.

Now Wu Zhe is only doing some task assignment and scheduling work, and the specific experiments will be arranged by each discipline.Those professors are veterans about the progress of the experiment, so they naturally know how to control it.

But for the software, Wu Zhe is the architect. Only he knows what kind of software is needed to run and detect genes better.

Shen Zhiwen followed Wu Zhe, and found a group of programming experts from the Academy of Engineering and gave them to Wu Zhe.

Apart from being busy with the "dream gene self-examination method", Wu Zhe is sorting out all kinds of knowledge he has learned.

In terms of mathematics, he chose to choose or decided to start from number theory and directly engage in "twin prime numbers".

The main reason is that Wang Chao used the "twin prime number conjecture" to deal with his teacher last time. He had been thinking about that for a while, and number theory is indeed very interesting.

Number theory is one of the branches of pure mathematics that mainly studies the properties of integers.The basic elements of integers are prime numbers (also known as prime numbers), so the essence of number theory is the study of the properties of prime numbers.Number theory was hailed by Gauss as "the crown of mathematics".

Therefore, mathematicians like to call some unresolved difficult problems in number theory "the jewels in the crown" to encourage people to "pick them".As long as there is a breakthrough in the research of number theory, the mathematical community will be extremely surprised, and the twin prime number conjecture is a very important conjecture in number theory.

After making the decision, Wu Zhe went directly to Zhang Detong's office.

When I saw Zhang Detong, I said to him directly: "Mr. Zhang, I plan to study the twin prime number conjecture in my mathematics research direction."

Zhang Detong was speechless, staring fixedly at his proud disciple.It's really a headshot.You can't fucking choose an easier topic!
"Twin Prime Number Conjecture" Is this the direction that normal people would consider?
"Decided?" Zhang Detong asked.

"Well, that's it. I always feel that the way I proposed last time can solve it." Wu Zhe also had a firm face.

Zhang Detong shook his head and said: "After you said it last time, several professors in our mathematics institute tried to prove it later, but it still didn't work. You must be prepared to fail. If you can't, just let it go and change to another one." Research, there is no need to cling to one road to the end. You must know how many people have fallen on this road since the conjecture was proposed in 1900.”

"Well, I understand." Wu Zhe also nodded cautiously.

"If it's the proof of twin prime numbers, it will be more troublesome for the instructor. The number institute does not have a particularly good expert in twin prime numbers, and the most powerful prime numbers in the country are all in the capital number institute. You won't want to run away again. Shall we go to the capital?"

Seeing Zhang Detong's suspicious expression, Wu Zhe hurriedly said: "No, Teacher Zhang, I really don't have that idea. How about I study it first? Let go of what the instructor said first?"

Zhang Detong nodded, and Dean Qi Zhixin also told him: Whatever Wu Zhe studies, let him go, let him do as he likes.

Zhang Detong thought that Wu Zhe was young enough anyway, so it would be better to let him study it by himself.You can have a deeper understanding of number theory, even if you can't solve the mystery of twin prime numbers, it doesn't matter, you can study other things in number theory!

Zhang Detong wasn't trying to persuade Wu Zhe either, he was also a professor in this area, and immediately started talking with Wu Zhe in his office.

"You follow the train of thought from last time and deduce it. I also appreciate your genius train of thought."

Wu Zhe smiled, knowing that the teacher was teasing him, but he still said: "Then I won't repeat what I said last time, starting from the prime number 2, the number that is not consecutive after the multiple of the prime number is a prime number.

It is easy to know that prime numbers are all odd numbers except 2, so studying prime numbers on the odd number axis will be very effective.

Odd number line: 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, 19, 21, 23, 25, 27, 29, 31, countless pairs of numbers with a difference of 2 (connected);
-
Assuming that only 3 is a prime number, after removing its multiples, the number axis becomes: 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 25, 29, 31, only a little less, but there are still infinite pairs of prime numbers with a difference of 2;

Adding 5 is a prime number, and after removing its multiples, the number axis becomes 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, and there are even fewer pairs of prime numbers with a difference of 2. There must be infinitely many— —
Wu Zhe felt something was wrong after talking for a while, and what he said seemed a little familiar, so he stopped immediately.Zhang Detong was also a little dazed, why was what Wu Zhe said just now so familiar?
Wu Zhe patted his head and said to Comrade Zhang De: "If you proceed according to my initial thinking, teacher, there is still a stumbling block ahead of us! Didn't you feel familiar with what I just said?"

Zhang Detong nodded and said, "I also feel familiar, but I just can't remember."

"Teacher, do you remember the Polignac conjecture?" Wu Zhe was also a little depressed, not to mention that the twin prime conjecture was not solved, but another conjecture appeared during the proof process.

"You mean the weak conjecture of twin primes?"

Wu Zhe nodded helplessly and said: "For all natural numbers k, there are infinitely many prime number pairs p, p + 2 k. If k is equal to 1, it is the twin prime number conjecture, and when k is equal to other natural numbers, it is called the weak twin prime number conjecture. What I said above is this weak conjecture.”

It seems that this weak conjecture must be proved first!
