I Just Want to Be a Quiet Top Student

"With all due respect, Mary, the content before page 12 is worthless." Shen Qi said after reading Mary's thesis.

"It's worthless, hehe, it turns out it's worthless..." Mary laughed miserably, her chest trembling violently.

Want to hurt someone with a murder weapon again!

Shen Qi hurriedly said: "But the discussion in the next few pages is very good! Your solution to the value of the Riemann zeta function at positive and odd points is very ingenious, and the algebraic integer processing is your unique skill, which is better than mine."

"So, can we cooperate?" Mary was in a slightly better mood, and this paper was her only solace at the moment.

"May I read your paper now?" Mary asked.

"Of course." Shen Qi handed his paper to Mary, and the two exchanged papers, checking each other's mistakes and deficiencies, and looking for bright spots that could be used by themselves.

It was the first time for Shen Qi and Mary to sit together calmly. The Riemann zeta function ζ(2n+1) research group had never been in such a harmonious situation.

As the old Chinese saying goes, take a step back and open up the sea and the sky.

Of course, matters of principle must be adhered to.

This friendly academic exchange lasted for more than two hours. Based on the basic principles of seeking common ground while reserving differences and mutual benefit, the two parties discussed and determined "the optimal choice of the three processing methods for the odd function of φ(z)", "the residue theorem A certain consensus has been reached on the operation mode of core arguments such as the solution to the integral path".

No matter what, Shen Qi and Mary are a team, unity is better than internal strife.

At the regular academic meeting of the Muller team a few days later, Muller highly praised the team spirit of Mary and Shen Qi, and recognized the significant progress made in the subject of the Riemann zeta function ζ(2n+1).

Shen Qi's status in the four-person research team has risen significantly. Although he is the youngest, he has been able to keep pace with his brothers and sisters Jonas and Mary.

Shen Qi is no longer Mary's assistant, because 60% of the content of the paper "The Riemann Zeta Function ζ(2n+1) Problem" was completed by Shen Qi, and the remaining 40% was contributed by Mary.

None of the four-member team is American, but American academic rules apply here. Whoever pays more and achieves more remarkable results will get more and have a higher status. The United States is a realistic country. The American dream is not a daydream. Do whatever you want and it will come true.

Mary did not dare to drive Shen Qi to act like a ox and a horse. If Shen Qi's Merlin transformation hadn't played a miraculous effect, the progress of the paper "The Riemann Zeta Function ζ(2n+1) Problem" could not have been completed so quickly.

You must know that Mary has been researching this paper for half a year, and basically has no results.

It has been less than two months since Shen Qi joined her team, and she is done.

Shen Qi and Mary became the co-first authors of "The Riemann Zeta Function ζ(2n+1) Problem", and Muller was the second author.

Although Professor Muller has not won any awards, the students he has taught respect him very much.

As long as the student is not too dull, scumbag, or disappointing, as long as the student has made even a little contribution to the project, Muller will let the student become the first author of the project paper.

Shen Qi thought this old man was Bethune from Germany.

Some tutors are not so easy to talk to. The author who is ranked first will not be given a pit, and students will not be able to publish papers. Whether it is China, the United States or Europe, there are such mentors.

"There are still two months left in this year, and our team's performance surpassed that of the same period last year. Shen Qi, you have contributed a lot." Mu Le called Shen Qi to the office, and was giving Shen Qi a small lesson alone.

In the whole of last year, Mueller's team completed a paper.

As of November this year, Mueller's team has completed two papers.

Among them, "Proof of the Walsh Conjecture of the Diophantine Equation" was submitted to the "Journal of the American Mathematical Society" and is currently in the peer review stage.

"The Riemann Zeta Function ζ(2n+1) Problem" has just been completed, and it has been submitted to "Annual Mathematics", another of the four major journals, and is undergoing preliminary review.

For these two papers, Shen Qi made 100% and 60% contributions respectively. He became the core figure of the team and the celebrity of Professor Muller.

Mary joined Muller's team in April this year. Throughout last year, Mueller had only one soldier under Jonas.

Jonas has not published a paper in the two and a half years of his Ph.D. last year's paper was written by Professor Muller himself.

In China, at a top university at the level of Princeton, a research team only publishes one paper a year, so don't even think about applying for too many project funds in the next year.

The research funds in the hands of Mueller are very abundant, and this year's money is more than last year.

Princeton is very rich. Although Puda is small, it has always been at the top of the list of the wealthiest universities in the United States.

Puda’s huge annual income comes from alumni donations, government funding, education funds and other channels.

More than half of the annual income of more than 2 billion US dollars is allocated to scientific research projects by PUC, and the other half is returned to the Princeton Education Fund to obtain rolling profits through securities, real estate or other investments.

Cutting-edge scientific research is very expensive, and only by continuously burning money all year round can we stand on top of the world.

The professors who teach at Princeton don't have so many hard indicators assigned by their superiors, and there is no such thing as evaluating titles or assigning houses. The expenses of the mathematics research team are not large, and the research funds in Muller's hands are simply inexhaustible.

The page fees for the two papers this year totaled just over US$5,000, including the salaries paid to Shen Qi, Mary, and Jonas, and Muller still had a surplus.

Muller said to Shen Qi very solemnly: "The "Riemann Zeta Function ζ(2n+1) Problem" can be completed by you and Mary, but for the Riemann Conjecture, I hope you can complete it alone."

"If you encounter difficulties, you can talk to me alone. The complete proof of Riemann's conjecture requires the challenger to think independently about the countermeasures. Even I may interfere with your thinking."

"So before the core thinking logic is formed, try not to talk to me about the Riemann Hypothesis, unless there is really nothing to do."

"But don't worry, my child, RH is a long-term challenge, which may last for five years or more than ten years, or even a lifetime. The good news is that we have completed the important foreshadowing of ζ(2n+1), you have Do you have the courage to face RH alone, Shen Qi?" Professor Muller said earnestly.

Shen Qi replied objectively: "I can only say that it is a tentative attack. I can't guarantee that one hit will be hit. It may even take several years to even fail to catch RH's real vitals. That's right, the sharpest weapon we already have There is, but where is the enemy's lifeblood, further research is needed. I accept Professor Muller's suggestion and will challenge RH alone."

Just do what you say, and that night, Shen Qi launched a general attack on Riemann's conjecture.

However, one night passed, and Shen Qi was drowsy, hey, I can't figure it out, I have no idea at all.
