The top student must be diligent.

Chapter 296 Five more questions
"However, in your explanation just now, you said that you still have five questions. Does that mean you have already thought of seven questions in advance?"

Xiao Yi nodded and said, "Yes, that's about seven questions. As for some simpler questions, they are not included because I don't think anyone can ask these simpler questions."

The reporter nodded, and then asked curiously: "Then can you briefly introduce what the other five questions are?"

Xiao Yi: "Hmm... let me recall."

"First, I used a result about the distribution of zeros of the Dirichlet L-function in my proof, which is that the zeros of the Dirichlet L-function are either on the critical line or distributed in pairs on both sides of the critical line. This involves something in the generalized Riemann hypothesis, and the generalized Riemann hypothesis has not yet been proved, so this is a problem."

"Second, I used a result of Deligne in my proof, that is, the L-function of the Weil hypersurface satisfies the Riemann hypothesis, and thus deduced that the non-trivial zeros of the Zeta function are all located on the critical line. Here, I assumed that Deligne's result can be extended from the case where the characteristic is positive to the case where the characteristic is zero. However, this extension is not self-evident, so this is also a point that may be questioned."

"Third, in the process of analytically extending the Riemann Zeta function to the entire complex plane, I used the method of elliptic inverse analysis and introduced a new function class to achieve this extension, which I called the Y function in the paper. I proved that every Riemann Zeta function can be expressed as the product of two Y functions, and this Y function can be analytically extended to the entire complex plane. Through this decomposition, the singularity of the Riemann Zeta function at 1 can be avoided, thereby achieving analytical extension on the entire complex plane. However, when defining the Y function, I used an inequality, and in my proof I simply explained that it can be obtained by a more complicated estimate, so this is also a question that can be questioned."

"the fourth……"

Then, Xiao Yi talked about the other two questions separately.

The reporter was stunned.

After a long while, he asked, "If you can say that... it should mean that you should know how to solve these problems, right?"

Xiao Yi smiled and said, "Of course it is. If I hadn't solved these problems, I wouldn't have published the paper."

"That's true." The reporter breathed a sigh of relief and said with emotion: "To be honest, listening to your description, I feel that each problem is more difficult to solve than the previous one. It seems that your proof seems to be full of holes."

"However, what I want to know is, why don't you solve these problems in your paper? Since you can think of them."

Xiao Yi just smiled and said, "Maybe it's because I feel that if I write all these questions, my paper won't look very good, right?"

"So that's it."

The reporter showed an expression of sudden enlightenment: "So this is what mathematicians call the feeling of a work of art?"

"That's about right." Xiao Yi said.

"Okay, then one last question." The reporter nodded and then asked, "Now that you have solved the Riemann hypothesis, what do you plan to study next? Will you continue to study more cutting-edge problems in mathematics, such as the new hypothesis you proposed at the end of the report, which is now named after your last name, the Xiao Hypothesis, or do you plan to study something different, such as physics, or material chemistry?"

Xiao Yi thought for a moment and said uncertainly: "Maybe it's none of these, but maybe study biomedicine?"

The reporter was stunned: "Do you also understand biomedicine?"

Xiao Yi smiled and said, "If you don't understand, you can learn. Maybe I can research some drugs that can extend human lifespan?"

The reporter said: "Then people all over the world will surely be very grateful to you."

Xiao Yi smiled and waved his hands, saying: "Other thanks are unnecessary. If I can really figure it out, the biggest benefit will probably be to help me see this world for a longer period of time."

“Perhaps when I am old, I will no longer have the energy to study new problems. By that time, I will probably only be able to watch young people continue to break through the achievements I have made, and then look forward to seeing more truths before I die.”

The reporter said: "You are still very young. It is too early to say such things. You can create more miracles for mankind in the future."

Xiao Yi: "But we will eventually face such a day."

The reporter was speechless, then nodded.

He couldn't help but feel emotional in his heart. Everyone will grow old one day, even the super genius in front of him.

Humanity will eventually lose such a genius, and it is generally believed that there will probably be no one to come after him.

Just like that, the interview with the central bank ended and was broadcast on the news channel that evening.

Many people also watched his interview, which immediately sparked discussions among netizens.

[Oh my god, did Xiao Shen really think of using Shimura clusters and Siegel modules right away? At first I thought he had actually been thinking about this for many days. ]

[Yes, I haven't even figured out what a generalized modular curve is, but Xiao Shen was able to guess how to use it based on the properties and form of the generalized modular curve.]

[No, buddy, you are talking nonsense, aren't you? I am Xiao Shen, you are nothing but a little Karami, and the generalized modular curve is a new theory invented by Xiao Shen, you are making it sound like the truth]

[Although I don’t understand what you are saying, but I feel that you seem very powerful. I won’t say more. Xiao Shen is awesome! ]

[Fuck, isn't it the point that before he started proving his thesis, Xiao Shen had already thought about what questions others might ask him in his thesis? Seven questions in total! And then he only asked two at the report meeting. Of course, it is possible that the mathematicians had also thought of the other questions, but they also knew how to answer them. But no matter what, Xiao Shen is really my God! ]

[Ah, why couldn't Xiao Shen reveal this matter in advance? I was present at the lecture. If I had known there would be so many questions, I would have waited until Professor Wiles finished his questions before raising my hand to ask questions, so that I could pretend to be a big shot in front of the whole world.]

【Pretending to make you fly】

[Why not? Why are you here? I envy you.]

[I guess the people who commented above didn’t finish watching the interview. Xiao Shen’s last question is the most thought-provoking.]

[Yes, people will eventually grow old, and Xiao Shen is also a human being after all. I really can't imagine what kind of influence Xiao Shen will have on the world when he dies.]

[He will be the greatest man in the world in the 21st century]

[Please, maybe Xiao Shen can live to the 22nd century? I heard that scientists generally have a longer lifespan, and now Xiao Shen has said that he will start researching biomedicine. Who knows, by then he may be able to develop a method that can extend lifespan by several decades, allowing him to live a second life.]

[Awesome, Emperor Xiao, right? 】

[After reading the interview, I don’t know what to say. I can only say that I wish Xiao Shen eternal life and immortality.]

[Son, you are wrong. It’s not that we didn’t finish watching the interview, but we have already accepted this reality, so there is no need to express so much, do you understand? ]

……

Xiao Yi's interview with CCTV was not only circulated in China. Since it was the only interview he had accepted in such a long time, it was translated into many other languages ​​and spread abroad. Subsequently, it once again aroused considerable discussion among foreigners.

Of course, the discussions among these foreigners were basically the same as those in China. They were amazed at Xiao Yi's proof and expressed their feelings about his final words.

Among these foreigners, there are some with special identities.

For example, Mr. President.

But now the president has completely given up. Anyway, there are only a few days left before the election. Even if something happens now, it probably won't change the result. Although he hates Xiao Yi so much that he wants to kill him, Xiao Yi's current status and fame, as well as China's own strength, will probably never do such a thing.

Otherwise, once this thing happens, it may cause an uproar around the world.

Even now they have to consider whether they should reopen the awards they currently hold to Xiao Yi and grant him some awards to show their respect for Xiao Yi and the fairness of their international awards. Otherwise, given the current situation, they will be severely scolded by all kinds of netizens on the Internet.

Ever since Xiao Yi had a conflict with Nature a few years ago and made public a phone call at the time, which caused the credibility of the Nobel Prize to decline significantly, they have never awarded Xiao Yi another award.

The original idea was to make this kid feel some regret, but unexpectedly, after that Xiao Yi never expressed any thoughts about these awards.

Only then did they realize that Xiao Yi really didn't care about these awards at all.

But anyway, what the current president wants to say is that Xiao Yi has absolutely no chance of winning any of these awards during his tenure.

In this way, he could openly mock Xiao Yi, as he had already won the Nobel Prize, but Xiao Yi had not.

Of course, the award he received was the Peace Prize.

It was the award given previously to ensure that he would not go to war.

……

Just like that, within less than a few hours after the report ended, almost the whole world knew about this incident through various publicity.

As for Xiao Yi himself, he was undoubtedly the busiest today. In addition to accepting an interview with CCTV, he also received various congratulations, including from old friends in the mathematics world such as Terence Tao, whom he had not seen for a long time, and they also had another exchange of ideas.

Of course, the organizers also prepared a sumptuous banquet that night for them to participate in.

Although it was just a report meeting and not a strict academic conference, after all, there were so many heavyweights present, so tea breaks were definitely necessary.

"In the end, you took away the Riemann hypothesis."

At the dinner table, Terence Tao said to Xiao Yi.

"Yes, this is the lover that everyone in our entire mathematics community wants to win over, and now you have got him." Schultz also said.

Various conjectures in the mathematical world are the lovers that everyone in the mathematical world wants to pursue, and the Riemann hypothesis is the lover they most want to obtain.

And now, Xiao Yi became the only one who finally succeeded in taking off the lover's mask.

Of course, the veil that Xiao Yi had taken off before was still there.

But soon, Deligne said with a smile: "Well, don't forget what Xiao said at the report meeting, he already has a girlfriend."

"Haha, that's true."

The others started laughing.

Xiao Yi shrugged his shoulders, too lazy to say anything to them.

Afterwards, everyone chatted with each other for a while, talking about some details in Xiao Yi's proof, and also discussed Xiao's conjecture. Afterwards, led by Fefferman's crazy eating, other mathematicians also began to look for food that could interest them at the banquet.

As for Xiao Yi...

He had already started eating.

Speaking for such a long time at the conference was quite energy-consuming, especially since he had to accept interviews afterwards. Now he was quite hungry.

But while he was eating, a plate of tiramisu was suddenly placed next to him.

Then, Luo Mingya sat next to him, pointed at the tiramisu, and asked, "Do you want to eat?"

Xiao Yi nodded: "Eat, but wait until I finish this bowl of noodles."

"Okay, I'll keep it for you." Luo Mingya nodded.

"How did you feel about today's report?"

After taking a bite of noodles, Xiao Yi asked with a smile.

Luo Mingya said helplessly: "Do you think I can understand?"

Xiao Yi shrugged: "Just talk about your feelings alone."

Luo Mingya thought about it, and finally gave a thumbs up and praised: "Very good!"

"This time, I finally know how strong you are in mathematics."

Xiao Yi said with a smug look on his face: "That's good to know."

Luo Mingya: "I used to think about convincing you to spend more time on researching materials. After all, with your ability in materials, you might be able to research many kinds of powerful materials by then."

Xiao Yi raised his eyebrows: "Oh? So you wanted me to devote myself to your profession before, and wanted me to study the same topic with you every day."

Luo Mingya blushed and rolled her eyes at him: "No, don't think too much."

Xiao Yi laughed, "What do you think now?"

Luo Mingya replied: "I still think so now. After all, materials are the key technology for the advancement of human civilization."

"But I support all your choices."

Listening to her words, Xiao Yi nodded slightly, and then said: "Thank you for your support. Of course, I will also consider your suggestions in the future."

Luo Mingya smiled and said, "Okay, then I would like to thank Professor Xiao for his recognition."

Their conversation seemed to be very formal, but this kind of "rationality" is probably a trait they all share as scientists.
