Generally speaking, when doing theoretical research, there were basically two things that one did every day.
They were either furiously reading documents or furiously writing theses. Regardless of whether it was the body or the soul, there was always one doing the heavy lifting.
Even at Lu Zhou's level, his research steps were still the same. Aside from some of the things that he did at school or outside of school, what he did every day was either follow the top three journals or quietly sit at his desk and think about his own problems.
Since Lu Zhou planned on returning to the mathematics field after the "Control of Earth and Moon" mission chain ended, he planned on leveling up to level 10 in mathematics. Therefore, he customized his literature reading software to track academic keywords in the field of mathematics.
Especially regarding the Riemann function and Riemann's conjecture. As long as it was a top five number theory journal, Lu Zhou would carefully read it.
Even though he knew that it was unrealistic to expect someone to do outstanding research in this field, he still hoped to gain some inspiration from other people's research.
As usual, Lu Zhou went to his office at eight o 'clock sharp. After he finished reviewing the discussion syllabus that He Changwen rushed out overnight, Lu Zhou sat at his desk and opened his laptop. He was about to check his tracking tags and see if there were any valuable theses in the areas that he was following.
However, suddenly, a text bubble popped up on the lower right corner of the computer screen.
Xiao Ai: [Master, you have a review invitation ~ ()]
Review invitation?
Lu Zhou put down the coffee cup in his hand and clicked on the link that Xiao Ai sent him.
The review invitation email was from Mathematics Chronicle.
Lu Zhou still remembered that his first thesis on Zhou's conjecture was published in Mathematics Chronicle. Even though he didn't publish any more theses in this journal, he would occasionally receive review invitations from the editorial department of Mathematics Chronicle.
Generally speaking, theses that were published in this journal were of considerable academic value.
Lu Zhou clicked on the thesis attached to the email. When he saw the title of the thesis, he raised his eyebrows.
"… Conrey's critical line theorem proof based on Odritzko's zero-point calculation method?"
Lu Zhou quietly read the title and sat up straight in his office chair. He quickly scanned through the abstract and began reading the main body of the thesis.
The content of the thesis wasn't very long; it was only 15 pages in total.
The author used a novel method to prove Conrey's critical line theorem. Even though it didn't push the 40% number forward, the method used in the thesis was very interesting.
If Lu Zhou remembered correctly, most people used the Levinson algorithm to research this problem.
Lu Zhou carefully read the thesis from beginning to end. At the end of the thesis, he wrote down his review opinion and marked it as approved.
Even though a typical professor might take three to five days to review a thesis, Lu Zhou only needed to do one calculation to find any problems.
Suddenly, Lu Zhou glanced at the screen and was surprised. He gently moved the mouse with his right hand and selected a few lines of calculations.
He didn't know if it was an illusion or not, but he felt like the sentence looked familiar.
Even though Mathematics Chronicle had a double-blind review system, and the reviewer couldn't see the name of the author, there was still a way to find out who submitted the thesis.
Many scholars had the habit of posting preprints on the internet before submitting their theses. As long as they extracted some of the fields from the thesis, it would be relatively easy to find the author.
Lu Zhou was very curious about the author of the thesis. Since the thesis was already reviewed, even if he knew the author's name, it wouldn't be against the rules, right?
Just one look!
Lu Zhou hesitated for a moment. In the end, he couldn't hold back his curiosity and made a decision. He logged onto arXiv and searched.
Sure enough, the author also had a good habit of posting preprints before uploading his thesis. It didn't take much effort for Lu Zhou to find the author's information.
However, when he saw the author's name, he was stunned.
Molina Abel!
And …
Vera Pulyuy.
"… This world is too small."
After a moment of shock, Lu Zhou smiled and shook his head. He closed the webpage and sent his review comments to the Mathematics Chronicle editorial department's email.
No wonder the style of the thesis was so familiar. Not only were the two contributors his acquaintances, but one of them was also his student. It would be strange if he wasn't familiar with it.
However, what he didn't expect was that Molina didn't give up on Riemann's conjecture. She even brought his student into this mess.
Lu Zhou was wondering if he should send an email to Vera and ask her how the research was going. Suddenly, the office door opened and an unexpected person walked in.
"Haha, Lu Zhou, look who's back!"
Lu Zhou's attention was attracted by the voice. He looked at Luo Wenxuan who was standing at the door and asked, "You're back from Beijing?"
"I came back from Switzerland. I went to CERN two months ago and just came back today." Luo Wenxuan pulled up a chair and sat across from Lu Zhou as if he was in his own office.
When he saw the piece of draft paper on the table, a look of interest appeared in his eyes. He picked up the piece of draft paper on the table and asked curiously.
"Riemann's conjecture? When did you start challenging this thing? "
Lu Zhou smiled and said, "I just study it when I'm free."
"Not bad, your interests are really high. You're playing around with Riemann's conjecture, I'm impressed." Luo Wenxuan gave Lu Zhou a thumbs up and placed the document on the table. He then said, "Enough nonsense, I'm done with what you asked me to do!"
Lu Zhou picked up the document from the table and glanced at it. A look of surprise appeared on his face.
"It's done already?"
The engineering plan for the Lunar Hadron Collider!
Even though the detailed drawings were not in this document, it was only a rough engineering sketch. However, judging from Luo Wenxuan's confident expression, the detailed drawings must have been completed.
When Luo Wenxuan heard Lu Zhou's surprised voice, he smiled proudly and waved his hand.
"The design isn't that difficult. There are only two difficulties with the collider. One is to vacuum the pipeline, and the other is the liquid helium cooling system. It's not technically difficult to build this thing on the Moon, and the structure is even simpler than LHCb. The real difficulty lies in the engineering. How do you plan to build a tunnel that is hundreds of kilometers long on the Moon? "
"I have a way to solve this, you don't have to worry about it." Lu Zhou smiled and put the document aside. He then said, "Tell me, how have you been at CERN for the past two months?"
