The top student must be diligent.

Chapter 131 Less than a Day
As the saying goes, when you are surrounded by mountains and rivers and think there is no way out, you will find another village when you look up.

Who would have thought that Professor Zhang also knew a domestic mine owner?
There are even big bosses who own tens of thousands of mining machines.

Xiao Yi couldn't help but asked curiously, "How did Professor Zhang know this kind of boss?"

Zhang Yitang laughed: "This is probably where we analytic number theorists can make money in recent years."

“At first, Mr. Huang wanted to develop a mining algorithm and then a software to make money.”

"He approached me and asked me to give him some math guidance, and we got to know each other afterwards. Later, the software he developed didn't make much money, so he simply gave up and focused on mining. But sometimes he would come up with some algorithms and ask me to help him with some advice and select the best algorithm for him."

"That's about it anyway."

“So if your software is really useful for mining, he will definitely support it.”

Xiao Yi nodded. So that's it.

But it is true that analytic number theorists are indeed professionals when it comes to problems like this.

Otherwise, people would not have suspected that Satoshi Nakamoto, the founder of Bitcoin, was Shinichi Mochizuki.

"Well, I'll contact Mr. Huang right now and tell him about this matter, and you can contact him later."
Zhang Yitang said, then took out his cell phone and flipped through the address book.

Xiao Yi said gratefully: "Then I'll trouble you, Professor Zhang!"

"It's okay. After all, you helped me prove the zero-point conjecture." Zhang Yitang waved his hand, then he found the phone and dialed it.

Soon, the call came through.

"Boss Huang, I haven't contacted you for a long time. Have you made any money recently? It seems that the market of virtual currency is quite good recently."

"Oh, what a fortune!" The person on the other end of the phone complained in Beijing dialect: "This mining market is basically an involutionary market. The more people mining, the less profit. Don't look at the fact that the price of the currency is rising. The number of people entering the market is also rising. Now it's a competition of who has invested more cost."

Zhang Yitang smiled and said, "Then I just happen to have someone here who I can introduce to you. He recently developed a mining software, and the algorithm he uses is definitely a top-notch algorithm."

"Oh? Professor Zhang, are you serious?" Mr. Huang said, "If it's true, I will definitely treat you well next time we meet."

"Haha, maybe you know this person, Xiao Yi, our Chinese math genius. Tell me whether you believe the algorithm he came up with or not!"

"What the hell? Is this the real Professor Zhang? Can you really recommend Xiao Tiancai to me?" The person on the other side was immediately surprised.

"Don't worry, Xiao Yi is right next to me now."

Zhang Yitang gestured to Xiao Yi, who smiled and said, "Hello, Boss Huang. I am Xiao Yi."

"Damn, it's true. Hello, Xiao Tiancai, I've heard of your name for a long time!"

The person on the other end of the phone said in an exaggerated tone: "I never thought that I, Old Huang, would one day be able to speak the truth to a genius like you."

"That's all flattering." Xiao Yi responded modestly.

“Hahaha!” Boss Huang laughed heartily, and then said, “So, Xiao Tiancai, have you figured out your algorithm yet? My mine is in urgent need of algorithm optimization.”

It is obvious that Mr. Huang is more concerned about things that can make him money.

Of course, the same is true for Xiao Yi.

"The software is still being written, but it won't be long."

Xiao Yi thought about it, and then said: "Since Boss Huang was introduced by Professor Zhang, then when my software is completed, Boss Huang can use it for free for three days. You can take a look at this software first, and then decide whether to use it in full."

Hearing what Xiao Yi said, Boss Huang said "Oh?" and then smiled and said, "It seems that our Xiao Tiancai is still very confident in his algorithm. I am looking forward to it even more."

Since Xiao Yi can offer three days of free use, this is enough to prove that Xiao Yi is not looking for a one-time deal.

Three days is enough for him to verify the algorithm. Currently, it takes an average of 10 minutes to mine a block in Bitcoin mining, which is completely sufficient.

Next, Xiao Yi exchanged contact information with Boss Huang and discussed future matters. After Xiao Yi finished writing the software and setting up the server, he would send the software to Boss Huang.

The estimated time may be after the Chinese New Year.

Xiao Yi’s server hasn’t been set up yet!

Of course, his server has already arrived at the University of Science and Technology of China. As for this server, it was naturally purchased by Kleinnok at the cost of 15 US dollars.

Because it was purchased directly from China, the money spent was actually RMB. According to Professor Claylock, the total price was 103 million. According to today's exchange rate, the actual price is actually higher than 15 US dollars.

However, because he has not returned yet, the server is temporarily placed in the school and has not been moved.

At this point we are back to a classic question: what would happen if we used a server worth $103 million to play games?
Well... although everyone knows that it won't be any good, at least it still sounds pretty cool!

……

The problem of how to promote the software has now been solved.

After Xiao Yi and Zhang Yitang talked for a while, they found out that Mr. Huang's real name was Huang Houping. The mining company under his name was simply called Huang Mining Company, which was also a well-known large mine in the country.

Once Huang Houping used his software and the mining income was significantly improved, other mining farms would definitely hear about it and move in. After that, he basically wouldn't have to worry about it, as the software's fame would surely spread throughout the cryptocurrency circle.

Then, what Xiao Yi had to do next was to write the software well, and he didn't have to worry about the rest. Time passed again.

……

Compared to Xiao Yi's behavior of just posting the paper on arxiv and then leaving it alone, Zhang Yitang is relatively more proactive.

Because he will make the news of his paper public on social platforms and inform his colleagues and friends.

Of course, most mathematicians do this. For example, after Perelman published his paper on arixv, he also informed his friends to let them check whether the paper he wrote was correct.

After all, a paper can only become a theorem if it is recognized by the public.

So Zhang Yitang posted a message on his major accounts: [The paper "The Non-Existence of Landau-Siegel Zeros" co-authored by Xiao Yi and I has been posted on arxiv. It is expected to be officially released after passing the review in an hour. I hope to receive comments from my peers.]

……

"Boom boom boom!"

In Zhang Yitang's office, Xiao Yi had just left when the door was knocked again.

The person knocking on the door was Zhang Yitang’s good friend at school, Joey Ayton.

Just like last time, Joey Ayton rushed in and asked in surprise, "Have you solved the zero-point conjecture?"

Seeing Joey Eaton's surprised look, Zhang Yitang smiled. It was obvious that his good friend had seen the message he sent.

"Basically there are no problems. Once it passes the review on the website, you can see it."

"This..." Joey Eaton was incredulous: "Why so soon? And so sudden? I didn't seem to see you much in the past few days. I thought you were busy."

"A few days ago, I was just organizing the paper. Well... of course I was busy."

"As for whether it's fast or not... After all, Xiao Yi is here, isn't it normal to be fast?"

Zhang Yitang was grinning. Seeing his old friend's surprised expression, he actually felt quite happy.

'Is it normal to be fast'?
Hearing this, Joey Eaton was speechless.

He felt that his old friend was drifting away.

No buddy, Xiao Yi has only been here for a few days?
It's only a few days a week, and Zhang Yitang probably spent the previous week organizing his thesis, which means...

"Doesn't this mean that you have solved the problem just a few days after Xiao Yi came here?" Joey Eaton widened his eyes.

"Well... Strictly speaking, it should be..." Zhang Yitang thought about it carefully and finally said, "It was one day, less than one day."

He went to San Jose to pick up Xiao Yi in the morning and arrived in the afternoon. In the evening, Xiao Yi solved all the problems that had been bothering him with just a little effort.

The remaining minor issues are not a big deal at all.

Joey Eaton felt even more numb when he heard this.

"Isn't this... a bit exaggerated?"

Zhang Yitang shrugged: "It's okay, nothing exaggerated, old Joey, open your horizons a little."

He walked up and patted Joey Eaton on the shoulder, as if to say why his old friend looked so worldly-wise.

He completely forgot how big a blow he suffered that night, and he didn't sleep well at all.

……

Not only Joey Ayton, Zhang Yitang is also quite famous in the mathematics community, so his news was quickly discovered by other mathematicians.

Then they were all stunned.

what?
Has the Landau-Siegel zero-point conjecture been proved?
Wasn’t it predicted a few days ago that this would only be proven within the next few years?
When they looked again, oh, it turned out to be Xiao Yi.

That's okay.

Zhang Yitang has been studying the zero-point conjecture for many years. Now with Xiao Yi's help, isn't this a case of killing gods and Buddhas?
So without any further ado, a bunch of mathematicians once again flocked to the arxiv website and began to wait for this paper.

After about two hours of review, the paper by Zhang Yitang and Xiao Yi was finally released on arxiv.

There is no Landau-Siegel zero.

This title also well describes the final result of the Landau-Siegel zero point conjecture.

However, this is not the point. The point is whether their proof is correct?

But thinking of Xiao Yi's name...

They have begun to admit in their hearts that this paper probably has only one result, and that is correct!
