Just turned over a new leaf and became a wise and intelligent student

Chapter 431 You can’t be inferior to your disciple, right?

So, after all this talk, what will be Xu Qingshan’s future prospects?
Currently, it is generally believed around the world that Xu Qingshan has a good chance of becoming the number one mathematician in the new era.

For someone like Xu Qingshan, who has reached the pinnacle in a single field and has first-class attainments in other fields, and is still very young, anyone can see his bright future at a glance.

But now the only thing everyone is worried about is how long Xu Qingshan’s academic career will last.

The great history of mathematics over thousands of years has not been without brilliant young geniuses.

But there are many people who make people sigh and lament.

For example, Galois, one of the founders of group theory.

This was also a mathematician whose life was extremely romantic, and he was the reason why people later often joked that mathematicians also played duels.

Galois was born in 1811 and happened to encounter the July Revolution when he was 19 years old.

The passionate young genius criticized the president of the Higher Normal College, who locked up the students behind high walls, in the school newspaper, and was expelled from the school.

Later, because he strongly supported the Red Will, he was often imprisoned for political reasons starting at the age of 20.

When he was seventeen or eighteen years old, he tried to submit the results of the solutions to the algebraic equations he had researched to the French Academy of Sciences, but like Abel, they both failed at the hands of Cauchy and could not even find their papers.

Therefore, the most brilliant academic achievements in his life were basically made in prison.

But in fact he only stayed in prison for one year.

According to unofficial historical records, in 21, when Galois was 1832 years old, he met a doctor's daughter in prison. He became crazy about her and even agreed to a duel with his rival.

On the night before the duel, Galois was still in prison, frantically recording all his mathematical achievements in the moonlight, and occasionally writing "I don't have time" on the side.

These research results were not made public until 14 years later.

He tried to use group theory to discuss the solvability of equations. His complete academic thought, known as Galois theory, is the founding theory of modern group theory and one of the basic pillars of contemporary algebra and number theory.

Compared to Gauss, who wore the crown in elementary number theory, Galois was once believed to have surpassed Gauss in status if he had not died young.

But there are no ifs in this world.

There are many tragic genius mathematicians like Galois, but there are not many who have the academic talent to match Galois's.

Xu Qingshan's sudden emergence allowed the world to see this possibility again.

But too many similar precedents make them worry that the tragedy will happen again.

Fortunately, the current world situation is relatively stable, and the security guarantees that the gradually powerful ancient Eastern country can provide to Xu Qingshan should be relatively adequate.

In addition, Xu Qingshan currently enjoys a very high personal reputation in the international academic community. Even if other countries have some ulterior motives, they cannot make any moves openly.

Of course, this is also because Xu Qingshan is not involved in military scientific and technological research.

But Xu Qingshan's own ideas are naturally somewhat different from those of the world.

To be honest, he didn't want to wait too long.

If he really wanted to build Qingshan University into the most sacred academic palace on earth as he envisioned, he would not be able to leave himself too much buffer space in academics.

He was bound to catch up with Riemann, or even surpass him.

He not only thought this way, but also did this.

Under the premise of love, Sun Nan quickly chose to join Xu Qingshan's team. Of course, he and Xu Qingshan agreed that he would not join the teaching system of Jingcheng University.

He just joined Xu Qingshan's personal team as an international scholar, and was paid by Xu Qingshan personally.

This was the decision he came to after a long talk with Xu Qingshan.

Compared to joining the Capital University and becoming a decent professor and scholar.

This young genius in the chip field hopes to be able to let go and try to do something that interests him, which is difficult to achieve in the domestic scientific research system.

If he chose to join Capital University, he would have to devote some of his energy to completing tasks in various areas.

But if he just joins Xu Qingshan's team, he will get a very high degree of freedom and support in all aspects.

More importantly, he also had high expectations and aspirations for the Qingshan University described by Xu Qingshan.

With the idea of ​​being the head of a chicken rather than the tail of a phoenix, he has decided to establish his own school at Qingshan University and forge his own path in the chip industry.

It has to be said that these scholars who can come out of China are basically high-quality talents.

There is no need for Xu Qingshan to use any means to motivate them. They will just paint a rosy picture for themselves and then work hard.

In just a few days, Sun Nan had planned all the resources and arrangements needed to set up a preliminary chip control team at the Science and Technology Park.

At the same time, he also began to be keen on finding colleagues and classmates he had met at various stages who were interested in chip making and wanted them to join Xu Qingshan's team.

However, this matter has not yet produced any results, because Xu Qingshan has not yet planned to make his chip-making business public, so Sun Nan can only do it in his own name.

But anyway, the project started to move forward and the team started to develop.

Xu Qingshan can temporarily free himself from these complicated matters and concentrate on the most important things that need to be done at hand.

"In fact, you have already proved the Riemann hypothesis. No one will question the correctness of your proof. You can take a break. There is no need to work so hard."

Tian Gang was holding a teapot in his hand and sipping cup after cup of cinnamon tea in Xu Qingshan's office, which Xu Xuejun had sent from Longjiang to his son.

This old man has been bombarded with calls from friends at home and abroad recently, and all he hears are flattering words.

Xu Qingshan was a student who made him proud and gave him peace of mind.

When he was sleeping late at night, Tian Gang would suddenly sit up from time to time, slap the quilt violently, and grin out loud, scaring his wife beside him so much that she thought he was possessed by evil spirits.

Apart from anything else, this identity of Mr. Xu Qingshan alone is enough to make him appear more frequently in the history of mathematics than his previous achievements.

From another perspective, since Xu Qingshan, as a student, was able to achieve such a genius-level academic achievement as proving the Riemann hypothesis.

Doesn't that mean, to some extent, that this teacher's academic and educational abilities far exceed the data on paper?

He believed that many years later, he, Old Tian, ​​would also be able to become the first CJB in the history of mathematics.

He learned this word from the young graduate students in his laboratory.

It’s not that he doesn’t understand what the word means, but he feels that to become a CJB, there is a very important prerequisite, which is popularity.

If you are already well-known, would you still be afraid of others questioning your value?

If it were any other mathematician, he would probably wake up laughing in his dreams.

As for my teacher, Mr. Qiu?

Humph, in the future, Tian's historical status will be no worse than yours. What if I call you Mr. Qiu when I give you face, and call you Xiao Qiu when I don't?

So what if I betray my teacher and ancestors? What I am best at is turning the tables on Tian Gang!
"Old Tian, ​​tell me the truth, you haven't produced any heavyweight academic results since you returned to Peking University and started teaching students. Is it just this kind of mentality of just getting by? This kind of mentality is not good?" Just as Tian Gang was still daydreaming in his heart.

Xu Qingshan, who was working at his desk nearby, criticized his teacher with a serious expression.

Although judging from his official status, it was not his turn to criticize Tian Gang.

But if we talk about his actual identity, he is God’s Big Daddy.

In addition, the way they get along with each other is not so traditional. Everyone speaks based on their own strength, regardless of seniority.

"Ah? I'm almost 60."

Tian Gang's expression froze. He was not dissatisfied at all when being taught a lesson by his own students. Instead, he explained with a smile.

"I'm already this old, why should I strive so hard? I will train more students. I don't ask to be the same as you. I will be very satisfied if I can achieve one-tenth of your achievement. I don't pursue academic achievements."

Tian Gang pretended to be pleased and indifferent to fame and fortune.

"Qingshan! You know me, your teacher. I have never been interested in fame or wealth. What I like most is to train students."

"Old Tian, ​​you are not really going to be able to do it, are you?"

Xu Qingshan looked at Tian Gan suspiciously and stopped the work in his hands.

"What do you mean you're almost 60? Don't think I don't know. You were born in 58, so you're only 5353 years old this year. What a wonderful golden age for academics! Now is the time for you to work hard!"

Xu Qingshan was ready to give a boost to his teacher who had become desensitized to other academic achievements because of his own brilliance.

"Think about your K stability, imagine your Fano manifold. Don't you think that I used so many complex mathematical tools to solve the Riemann hypothesis this time, such as differential geometry, algebraic geometry, partial differentials, polynomial analysis, and metric geometry, which are perfect? ​​Don't you have any inspiration?"

Xu Qingshan simply stood up from his seat. Anyway, the work in his hands was almost finished. He walked to Tian Gang, patted Tian Gang on the shoulder and sighed.

"Old Tian, ​​you are a master after all. Now my students are preparing to publish in the Mathematical Annals. I won't compare you with me, because it will be too much pressure for you. But in a few years, you won't even be able to compete with your own grandchildren, right?"

Xu Qingshan said this quite seriously, and Tian Gang's face turned red immediately.

Although he has been a little bit distracted recently due to various external voices.

But no matter what, he was also one of the geniuses in the world back then.

No matter what, he is an academician of a country.

Even though he could not beat his own apprentice, he still had reasons to convince himself. After all, Xu Qingshan's talent was simply too extraordinary.

I don't care about the fact that he betrayed my master, destroyed my ancestors, and rebelled against Tiangang.

After all, even one's own teacher cannot compare to one's own students.

But this does not mean that he can accept himself as a failed master.

Otherwise, he is a winner of the Veblen Award, a member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, a member of the American Academy of Sciences, and the chairman of the Berkeley MSRI Geometry Year Project.
First he lost to his teacher, then to his apprentice, and finally he was even defeated by his grand-disciple.

I've lost all face!
It's more embarrassing than the Chinese national football team losing to Vietnam as General Fan said!

When Tian Gang thought of the humiliating scene that might happen in the future, he could no longer sit still. He put down the teapot and prepared to walk out.

"Hey, Lao Tian! Why don't you drink tea? Don't you like it? Why are you leaving in such a hurry?"

Xu Qingshan hid a smile on his face and shouted towards Tian Gang's back.

"No more drinking! I have to go back to my research! Don't come to me unless you have something to do recently!"

Tian Gang ran out of the laboratory angrily.

When the students who didn’t know the situation saw the master’s appearance, they thought that the old man’s house was on fire.

Xu Qingshan was standing on the balcony, watching Tian Gang's hurriedly leaving back, and shook his head helplessly.

But you can't let yourself become too successful and cause those around you to fail to achieve the success they should have.

What he needs to do is to make those around him better, rather than overshadowing their light himself.

The world has always been a first-class group portrait, rather than revolving around any one person as the protagonist.

He also believes that as the core of the team, he will only be better if everyone else is doing well.

When humans stand on the opposite side of the unknown.

No matter how strong a person is, it is difficult to resist completely.

But the power of a group of people is different, just like the quantum group of the last century.

Thinking of this, Xu Qingshan walked back to the office and his eyes fell on the few thin pages of papers on his desk.

"Critical Analytic Fiber Bundle-Quantum Spectral Homology Mapping"

Critical analytic fiber bundles and quantum spectral homology mappings

This was the inspiration he got from integrating multiple tools and innovations in the process of proving the Riemann hypothesis.

In the proof process, he tried to introduce differential geometry and point set topology to map the zero-point distribution of the Riemann zeta function into a high-dimensional fiber bundle structure, breaking through the traditional complex analysis framework.

Although the actual results were not very good.

But he also found a different path.

Based on this critical analytic fiber bundle obtained through geometric and topological mapping, he saw the possibility of integrating quantum mechanical spectral analysis with algebraic topological homology theory to provide new algebraic-geometric cross-cutting tools for exploring the laws of zero-point distribution.

This is a multi-level composite mathematical tool based on the three core disciplines of modern human science: mathematics, physics, and computer science.

Or maybe it’s not quite right to call it a mathematical tool.

Instead, it should be called a scientific tool.

Xu Qingshan had a strong premonition that when he had fully developed it and could apply it perfectly to other fields, it would definitely not just be mathematics.

No wonder these century-old problems are like bottomless abysses, and countless talented scientists have exhausted their nutrients and fuel for them.

But there are still endless later generations who sacrifice themselves to fill these abysses.

Because once you cross this abyss, the treasure you can obtain will far exceed your expectations.

It is like discovering an endless new mine that is named and owned by oneself in the mathematical world where there are not many open-pit mines left.

The solution to every century-old problem will give birth to countless important achievements and innovative technologies.

The Riemann hypothesis is the crown of these century-old problems.

Xu Qingshan could feel that it had even more potential.

Waiting for yourself to develop!
