The top student must be diligent.

Chapter 281: Inspiration from the Amusement Park
As Xiao Yi expected, the meal turned into a gossip dinner.

He had nothing to say about this.

In fact, anyone who pays attention to him will gossip about him.

Whether it is the people around me or many people on the Internet, the main reason is that they generally cannot understand the work they are doing, so they can only turn to things that everyone is more interested in.

I just did it perfunctorily while practicing Tai Chi.

But in the end, Xiao's mother and father saw Luo Mingya's photo from the old lady, and recognized that this was the girl he went out to meet early in the morning when it snowed during the Chinese New Year one year.

In the end, there was some ridicule, but he just ignored it.

While eating, I was thinking about the next idea to prove Artin's conjecture.

That is to use the Weil conjecture to solve the current problems.

The Weil conjecture is the Weil conjecture, which was proved by Pierre Deligne in the last century. The proof of this conjecture is also considered to be one of the most important achievements in mathematics at that time. It later provided a closer connection between algebraic geometry and number theory, and is a milestone in modern mathematics.

What Xiao Yi was going to use was the first part of the Weil conjecture: for a smooth projection cluster X defined on a finite field, its Zeta function ζ(X, s) satisfies a functional equation. Replace s with 1-s, and then multiply it by certain Gamma factors and constant terms, the result is equal to ζ(X, 1-s).

"Obviously, the extended L-function I came up with has very similar properties in this regard..."

While eating, Xiao Yi was thinking about this matter in his mind. If it was not inconvenient, he would have wanted to start making a draft and calculating on the side.

And just like that, time passed quickly.

After the meal, Xiao's father had an appointment with a friend to go fishing, so they went fishing directly; as for Xiao's mother, she went shopping with the old lady next door. The old lady next door had recently raised a Teddy bear commonly known as evil fleece, so it was a good opportunity to take the dog for a walk.

To the extent that Xiao's mother is now considering whether to get a dog or a cat.

All in all, Xiao's father and mother are now quite free. They are both in their fifties. Although they have not retired yet, their workplaces basically do not arrange too troublesome work for them. They are quite leisurely jobs, which also allows them to take good care of their health in the future.

The country does not want Chief Engineer Xiao to be distracted from research because of his parents' health problems.

Of course, Xiao Yi was also happy that the two of them could relax a little.

"Okay, Professor Xiao, I'm ready to go back as well. We haven't even finished playing today's game yet."

Sun Lina, the last one left, also said goodbye to Xiao Yi.

"Ok."

Xiao Yi nodded.

"However, I am still very curious, Professor Xiao, how is your relationship with my cousin now?"

Before leaving, Sun Lina asked again.

Xiao Yi shrugged. Facing Professor Sun, he did not feel the awkwardness he felt when facing an elder. He said, "Professor Sun, you should take care of yourself. You are already thirty-five or thirty-six years old. I don't know why Auntie doesn't push you."

Sun Lina was not angry. She laughed and said, "After all, I have been hurt because of this matter. Of course, my mom and dad will not say anything."

Xiao Yi rolled his eyes and said, "So, you're suggesting that I find a bad woman, and then get hurt badly, so that I can be as carefree as you?"

Sun Lina spread her hands and said, "I didn't say that."

"But..." She raised her eyebrows and said, "You can give it a try. If you do this, you won't be the only single person in the future. My cousin will definitely be one of them."

Then she waved her hand and said, "Okay, I won't say any more. Goodbye."

Then she left too.

Xiao Yi shook his head with a smile, then went back to his room and continued to work on Ating's conjecture.

Just like that, time passed quietly.

……

After the New Year, people returned to their jobs, including Xiao Yi.

Teach students weekly and then continue to study the Artin conjecture.

Now he spends most of his time on these two things.

Especially now that he has found the angle of Weil's conjecture to solve the current problems.

However, the technical difficulties encountered before were indeed extremely difficult.

But what he knew was that as long as the current problem was solved, all subsequent difficulties would be easily solved!

……

Three months passed in the blink of an eye.

The difficulty of this problem ultimately exceeded Xiao Yi's imagination.

After so much time, he is still stuck on this problem.

And this is still at his current buff level.

All I can say is that although he is very strong now, surpassing all humans in history, he is still not strong enough to reach the top level.

Inside the Science Island laboratory.

Patting his head, Xiao Yi threw another piece of draft paper out.

"Hmm...Now this is really a headache."

Shaking his head, he sighed.

"What exactly is this geometric object?"

He pinched his eyebrows.

After so much research, although this problem has not been solved, he has achieved certain results.

The first part of Weil's conjecture and the new L-function he created are very similar in some properties.

More precisely, for an elliptic curve E defined over the field of rational numbers, its extended L-function L(s, E, p) seems to satisfy the following functional equation: Λ(s, E, p)=ε(E, p)Λ(1-s, E, p).

Where Λ(s, E, p) is the complete L-function obtained by multiplying L(s, E, p) by some Gamma factor, and ε(E, p) is a constant.

This function equation is very similar to the function equation in Weil conjecture.

This gave Xiao Yi an inspiration that the extended L-function might be related to the Zeta function of certain geometric objects.

If he could find such a geometric object, he could then study extended L-functions via the Weil conjecture.

However, it was this geometric object that stumped Xiao Yi.

He now looked for many geometric objects, but could not find any that matched. This had taken him at least two months.

I looked at the time. Well, it’s already evening and I need to rest.

Tomorrow is a team building day at Science Island Lab.

There hasn't been any team building in many years, and when Xiao Yi heard them mention it during a meeting a few days ago, he agreed.

As for the location of the team building, it was not a tiring form of team building such as mountain climbing. Instead, Xiao Yi decided to go directly to the Sunac Park in Fei City.

Fei City Sunac Amusement Park is one of the largest amusement parks in Fei City, and it has basically no problem accommodating all the people in their Science Island Laboratory.

If it is a weekend or a holiday, there will be a lot of people here.

So in order to ensure that they can enjoy their team-building day, we chose to go on a weekday.

Anyway, for a pure research institution like Science Island Laboratory, working days don’t matter at all. If they are really busy, let alone working days, their researchers may not have time to go home for the Chinese New Year holiday.

As for going out to play on weekdays, it has even less impact on them.

It's as if they can produce results in their research if they don't play for a day.

In addition, it is rare for the institute to organize a team-building event, so basically everyone signed up. Since it doesn’t cost them any money anyway, it would be a waste not to come. Even some older researchers planned to participate.

And for those who are married and have children, the laboratory also said that they can bring their wives and children along, since the laboratory is wealthy anyway.

Of course, this also involves the issue of asking for leave for these family members, but this is not a big problem. If the unit where the person works or the school where the child attends does not grant leave, their laboratory can help negotiate.

Basically, in this small piece of land in Fei City, their Science Island Laboratory still has the strength to do so.

Although Xiao Yi, the laboratory director, had never shown his academic tycoon side to the outside world, he had already possessed the basic conditions to become an academic tycoon without realizing it. …

The next day, ten o'clock in the morning.

The entrance of the Science Island Laboratory.

Basically all the members of the laboratory are already waiting here.

Including some family members, there are almost two hundred people here.

There are several buses responsible for pick-up and drop-off.

As for Xiao Yi, considering the safety factor, he still took the bulletproof Diaby.

And so they came to Sunac Park.

R&F Park had naturally received the news beforehand and knew that the most awesome Science Island Laboratory in Fei City had decided to hold the team-building event here, so they had already made preparations.

They count the number of people and transfer the money directly. Once the gate opens, their car can drive straight in without having to go through any ticket check.

Because it was a weekday, there were relatively few people in the amusement park. Also, it was not winter or summer vacation time, so there were relatively few children.

Basically, it can be guaranteed that they don’t have to queue too long when playing today.

As for the way of playing, it naturally cannot be like a normal team building where everyone is together all the time. Instead, everyone can form teams freely and there are not too many requirements.

In this way, everyone formed teams and played together with those they had a good relationship with.

As for those who have brought their families, they can just go and play with their families, or form a team with other people who have families.

If they are tired of playing, they can just find a car to go back by themselves. There is no bus to pick them up together. Anyway, the transportation fee back to the laboratory will be fully reimbursed.

It is also convenient for people who have other plans.

"Tsk, I never thought you could come up with such a team-building method."

Looking at Xiao Yi saying goodbye to the researchers one by one, Luo Mingya, who was standing beside him, couldn't help but sigh.

Since it is called team building, then team members must act together. But now the team is completely disbanded. How can this be called team building?
Xiao Yi just smiled and said, "Who said this isn't team building? Look at the people who formed the team, aren't they originally a team?"

"Our laboratory is not a company. The purpose of the company's team building is to strengthen the connection between employees, ultimately make the relationship between employees harmonious, and then create more benefits for the company in the future work."

"We don't have such a thing in our laboratory. We just let them relax after doing research."

Luo Mingya nodded and sighed, "You are worthy of it."

Xiao Yi smiled and said, "I am still a young man after all."

Young people are more aware that forcing a group of strangers to talk about cooperative friendship with each other is nonsense in itself.

This is purely for the sake of socializing.

When you are in school, you may not be very familiar with your classmates, and you have to stay in the same classroom every day, let alone when you are working.

"So, for you, this trip can be regarded as a chance for you to temporarily take a break from your recent research and relax?" Luo Mingya asked.

"more or less."

Xiao Yi said.

He really needs to relax his mind now. He has not solved the problem that he has not solved for two months, so he should go out and look for inspiration.

"Professor Xiao, thank you for giving me a reason to take a vacation."

At this time, the last researcher who had not yet dispersed came over.

This person was Qian Wanli, who was also the first outstanding young scientist to come to the Science Island Laboratory. At this moment, he was walking over with his wife and daughter and spoke to Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi smiled and said, "You really should give yourself a break once in a while."

Starting this year, Qian Wanli will work hard to become an academician. It is estimated that it will take several years, and he will strive to be elected when he is 45 years old.

He was selected as a Young Outstanding Scientist at the age of 35. If he can be selected as an academician at the age of 45, it will be considered that his ability to be selected as a Young Outstanding Scientist so early is not wasted.

So starting from this year, Qian Wanli became extremely busy, and Xiao Yi also knew it.

Qian Wanli laughed and then said, "Okay, then I won't waste your and Professor Luo's time. I'll take my family out to play first."

Then he said to his daughter, "Say goodbye to your Uncle Xiao."

His daughter Qian Huiyin is 15 years old this year and is in the third year of junior high school. She has inherited Qian Wanli's academic performance and has always been among the top students in the key junior high school she attends. It is estimated that it will not be difficult for her to be admitted to Tsinghua University or Peking University.

However, perhaps because of the influence of his surroundings, his eyes were full of admiration when he looked at Xiao Yi.

"Uncle Xiao, can I take a photo with you?" she said.

Xiao Yi laughed and nodded, "Of course no problem."

After taking a photo together, Qian Huiyin happily went to the amusement park with her parents.

"That little girl will definitely have very high standards when looking for a boyfriend in the future."

Luo Mingya said with a smile.

Xiao Yi raised his eyebrows: "Just like you?"

"Yeah." Luo Mingya nodded.

Then she walked forward and held Xiao Yi's hand, "Okay, take me out to play!"

Xiao Yi didn't react at all.

He avoided talking about it at home, being a cowardly lizard, but here he was already in the know.

"Well, let's go."

……

Today, Xiao Yi completely let go of his inhibitions towards entertainment sensory stimulation and enjoyed such happiness.

They played some simple games first, and then went straight to queue for the roller coaster.

There weren't many people, so they got in line quickly, and many of them were even from their laboratory.

Looking at those winding tracks, up and down, circling and winding, they are very complicated.

Xiao Yi thought of what he had been studying recently, and said to Luo Mingya with a smile: "Look at these orbits, don't they look like ellipses?"

Luo Mingya looked left and right, shook her head and said, "I can't see it."

“I can’t understand the world as seen by you mathematicians.” Luo Mingya said that he is just a materials scientist.

Xiao Yi shrugged, and without saying anything more, he looked back at the tracks in front of him.

The elliptic curve is also a complex curve, and its shape determines many of its arithmetic properties. If we could somehow "deform" the elliptic curve into a shape like a roller coaster track, what would it look like?
Perhaps because he had become obsessed with the study of this thing recently, he began to construct a modular curve amusement park in his mind based on the roller coaster track in front of him. In this amusement park, each amusement facility corresponds to a modular curve.

These modular curves parameterize elliptic curves with certain special properties, just as a roller coaster track parameterizes the motion of the roller coaster.

"Modular curve..."

While thinking in his mind, Xiao Yi naturally began to think about this geometric object.

He had thought about linking the module curve with the problem he was currently facing before, and although there was some connection between the two, there was still a gap.

Just now...

Suddenly some ideas came to his mind?
But before he could continue thinking, the roller coaster started.

As they slowly reached the highest point and were about to fall, Luo Mingya next to him grabbed his hand again.

Then--

"what!"

The screams of a car filled the entire amusement park.

……
