The top student must be diligent.

Chapter 262 Proving the Hailstone Conjecture
Just do it.

The chief engineer Wang Changhong did not seem to be at all conflicted at this moment.

Perhaps, it is also because I heard that using this new method to synthesize TA1203 can make it have stronger performance.

As for questions that might be a little bit difficult, I don't care at all.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been struggling with the TA1203 issue for so long.

He is willing to try any method that can help the H-20 achieve stronger performance, as long as there is a chance of success.

Obviously, this method that can be said by Xiao Yi is likely to be successful.

It sounds difficult, but...

Isn’t Xiao Yi here?
Wang Changhong didn’t know what the precision magnetic levitation fluid control furnace was. He had just heard of this new technology and knew that this new technology was also developed by Xiao Yi.

So, since Xiao Yi was able to bring it up, I think there must be a way to solve it.

However, Xiao Yi also said that the precision magnetic levitation fluid control furnace needs to be modified and complex program design is required, which also takes time.

After some discussion, a plan was finally put forward.

"After that, I'll have to ask Chief Master Xiao for help."

Walking out of the laboratory and standing in the old courtyard, Wang Changhong said to Xiao Yi.

They can't provide much help in this study.

Just like the use of precise magnetic levitation fluid control furnace, they still need to apply to the higher authorities.

The precision magnetic levitation fluid control furnace, as the core tool for the production of MHT-7, is basically under strict protection in China. Others may have only heard of the name of this furnace, but basically do not understand the principle of this furnace, let alone its structure.

Any other project that wants to use or exploit this tool must apply to the higher authorities and be approved before it can be used.

Even their H-20 project is no exception.

Of course, not many people know this rule.

Naturally, there are very few people who have heard of this furnace. At least one has to be a researcher of Wang Changhong's level. Even a considerable number of researchers in the original Sun-making Project did not know where the MHT-7 material came from. Anyway, they just knew that it was invented by Chief Engineer Xiao.

Therefore, even now, no one else can use the precision magnetic levitation fluid control furnace, and only Xiao Yi can use it.

Other people hadn’t thought of using it either. Even if they encountered problems with materials, they probably wouldn’t have thought that this stove could help them.

Of course, Xiao Yi believes that his furnace can actually play a huge role in the development of more materials.

In particular, this furnace can synthesize materials based on theoretical models with incredible precision.

In other words, the structure of the material constructed theoretically can be perfectly synthesized through this controlled furnace.

Of course, it is still difficult to achieve this.

The more complex the material, the more difficult it is to synthesize it perfectly, so it seems like Xiao Yi did not succeed in synthesizing twisted carbon in the end, but only synthesized MHT-7.

Then there is the design of the synthesis program, just like a CNC machine tool, as long as the program design is completed, the machine tool can start working.

However, the programming of a precise magnetic levitation fluid control furnace is more difficult. First, you have to understand fluid mechanics, and you must be proficient in it. Then you have to have sufficient understanding of electromagnetism and quantum mechanics, at least you have to be clear about the electromagnetic properties of different atoms. Secondly, you have to have a deep enough understanding of materials science.

It can be said that the precision magnetic levitation fluid control furnace is probably fully capable of competing for the most difficult to operate tools in the world.

If it really becomes popular, maybe this can become a super high-paying job.

"Okay, then I'll wait for your news after I get back. Once your application is approved, I'll start researching."

Xiao Yi said.

"Okay." Wang Changhong smiled and said, "I don't know yet whether the higher-ups will agree to this."

Xiao Yi laughed and said, "This is the Hong 20. If this still doesn't work, then it's just a joke."

"Tsk, that's not necessarily true." Wang Changhong shook his head. "If there is a risk of leaking nuclear fusion technology, I wouldn't even want to use it myself."

Xiao Yi smiled, and at this time, Wang Li had already driven the car in front of him again.

"Then I won't stay any longer. Goodbye everyone."

Xiao Yi waved goodbye.

"Master Xiao, take care." Wang Changhong nodded.

Xiao Yi got in the car, nodded to Luo Mingya who was standing next to him, and then left.

Looking at the car going away, Wang Changhong sighed: "It really lives up to its reputation."

Li Zhenhai also nodded and sighed: "Yes, if China has more young people like this, why worry about the country's prosperity?"

Wang Changhong also nodded: "Who said it wasn't?"

But then he shook his head and said, "But we have to be realistic. How many geniuses like this have appeared in the world over the past few thousand years?"

Li Zhenhai hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Probably only this one."

Wang Changhong smiled and did not deny this statement.

Looking forward from their current perspective, from the trajectory of history, especially the trajectory of the history of science.

Whether it was Newton in the 18th century or Einstein in the 20th century, the problems they solved seemed very outstanding, but in fact they more or less conformed to the trajectory of history and solved the problems in the era when they should be solved.

However, the problem of controlled nuclear fusion solved by their chief engineer Xiao completely exceeded people's expectations and predictions of historical trajectory.

Just like that mysterious first-wall material, from the current unified view of the scientific community, there is absolutely no way it could be created, but it suddenly appeared in the hands of their chief engineer Xiao.

Then there is the precise magnetic levitation fluid control furnace, which highlights a sense of mystery.

Just now, Xiao Yi gave them a brief introduction, but until now they still haven't figured out the principle of this thing.

The main reason is that they can't figure out how to achieve precise control of magnetic fluid with a bunch of messy magnetic lines of force?

But I think after applying this time, I should be able to see it.

At this time, Wang Changhong turned his head to look at Luo Mingya next to him, and said with a smile: "However, it would be great if there were more scientists like Mingya in the future. Even if they can't produce results that surpass their time like Chief Engineer Xiao, they can at least bring about some changes that are due to the times."

Li Zhenhai also smiled: "Yes."

“Although there are many giants who push the times forward, when there are no giants, it still depends on the joint efforts of a group of people.”

When Luo Mingya heard the praise from the two elders, she just smiled and then regained her composure. However, no one knew what she was thinking at this moment.

……

A few days passed in the blink of an eye.

Xiao Yi had naturally returned to Shanghai from Jinling. After all, the two places were close and it wouldn't take too much time.

While waiting for news from Wang Changhong, he continued to study the hail hypothesis. Of course, he would sometimes take time to think about how to transform the precision magnetic levitation fluid control furnace.

The transformation method is both complicated and simple. The main thing is to make its size meet the requirements of aircraft engine turbine blades.

This is unlike the first wall material like MHT-7, which can be divided into multiple pieces and then attached to the inner wall of the nuclear fusion reactor without much effort.

Although there is a possibility of high-energy neutrons leaking between the gaps in these MHT-7 blocks, in fact, these gaps are polished into serrated patterns when they leave the factory. Therefore, even if high-energy neutrons enter these gaps at an incident angle of degrees, they will eventually collide with these serrated patterns, thus avoiding leakage.

But turbine blades are different. After all, they need to be formed in one piece to ensure strength.

Therefore, it is necessary to increase the volume of the fluid control furnace.

The volume has been changed, and the arrangement of the magnetic field also needs to be changed, and then the software needs to be rewritten to match it. Of course, Xiao Yi has perfect engineering, so it is relatively easy to modify it, and it is estimated that it will not take too long to complete it. It will probably take some time to write the program later.

The main thing is to wait for Wang Changhong's application to be approved. This probably requires an assessment of the overall risks. The leaders also need to consider it and ask for opinions. They will probably ask him about it later.

Otherwise, even as the inventor of the precision magnetic levitation fluid control furnace, he would not be able to provide this technology to Wang Changhong and others.

State secret technology, that is.

However, back to the hail conjecture, he has gained more and more inspiration in the process of solving this problem in the past few days.

Now, it probably won’t take much time to prove this conjecture.

……

It was mid-May.

【Therefore, there exists a constant C such that for all n, dim(W_n)≤C. 】

[According to Corollary 9.7, we can know that in this case, the classification tree is finite. ]

[According to Corollary 7.2, we can know that the proof of the hailstone conjecture is equivalent to proving that the classification tree is finite. ]

【Thus, the hail hypothesis was proven. 】

"So, we can now say that any positive integer, after being transformed by the hailstone conjecture, will eventually enter the 4-2-1 digital cycle."

When Xiao Yi wrote the word "proven" on the draft paper, he recalled all the previous processes and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

This problem, which he used as a way of entertainment and relaxation, has now been successfully solved in his hands.

"It has really amused me for more than two months."

Xiao Yi sighed.

But then his brows frowned slightly again, and he began to worry about what would happen next.

Now, even the hail conjecture can only be a problem for him to entertain and relax. What problem should he focus on next?

The Riemann hypothesis, which he had considered before, appeared in his mind.

After that, you can indeed devote a certain amount of time to this matter.

But the question is, what if he waits until he solves the Riemann hypothesis?

Is there any other problem that he can solve?
Or in other words, is it something that can entertain him?
No one knows.

After all, no one has the same sorrow as him.

For other people, it would be enough to solve one problem in their lifetime, but he is different after all.

This year is 2027, and he is only 24 years old.

Continue to study issues like controlled nuclear fusion?
This kind of question is indeed very time-consuming.

Or try to study materials such as room-temperature superconductors.

The former HTSC-1, although already a superconductor that can be used on a large scale, now has a considerable market.

But after all, it will not be as convenient to use as room-temperature superconductors.

And then there's the even harder problem of miniaturizing nuclear fusion.

And if the problem of miniaturization of nuclear fusion can be truly solved, it will probably give mankind truly unlimited possibilities.

After all, only when this problem is truly realized can humans travel across the stars without having to worry about anything else.

However, Xiao Yi was even more unsure about this issue.

In comparison, building a super-large spaceship and then directly stuffing a small nuclear fusion reactor into this spaceship is more in line with Xiao Yi's idea.

But again, even this problem is equally difficult.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yi sighed.

For now, don’t think too much about it.

It is better to solve these current problems first.

As a young man, he should sigh less.

He turned his attention back to the draft paper in his hand.

Now that the problem has been solved, let's organize it on the computer and then upload it to his personal website.

Without saying a word, he started to tidy up.

Sorting it out wasn't particularly troublesome, especially since he had already done the research and sorting before, and now all he needed to do was to sort out the last few steps.

In this way, about half an hour passed.

There was a knock on the office door, and then Liang Qiushi ran in.

He looked very pleased with himself. He walked up to Xiao Yi and said, "Teacher, I have finished my thesis!"

Then he took out a stack of A4 paper from his schoolbag and placed it on Xiao Yi's desk.

Seeing his expression, Xiao Yi shook his head and laughed: "You seem quite proud of yourself? The deadline is in half a month."

Liang Qiushi chuckled and said, "Isn't this a perfect use of all the time? This is the only way to achieve excellence."

Xiao Yi pointed at him, but in the end, he was too lazy to say anything more. He put the draft papers on his desk aside and started reading Liang Qiushi's paper.

However, Liang Qiushi took a look at what was on Xiao Yi's computer screen at this time, and was stunned.

"Teacher, is this your latest achievement?"

Xiao Yi nodded as he looked at his paper: "Yes."

"Already done?"

"finished."

Liang Qiushi immediately became curious.

Their respected teacher has achieved a new result recently?

Recalling that Xiao Yi had told him that he wanted to pick a guess to pass the time, he didn't know what question his teacher would eventually choose.

He remembered that he had recommended the hail hypothesis at the time.

He started operating the mouse and flipped through the pages. Finally, when he saw the description of the hail hypothesis, he was shocked.

"Teacher, teacher, have you really figured out the hail conjecture?"

"Yeah, done."

After getting Xiao Yi's affirmation, Liang Qiushi fell completely silent.

He originally...

He was thinking about opening a betting site or going to some foreign gambling websites to bet on what famous mathematical conjecture would be solved next, but how come he forgot it in the end? !
