December 24th.
The day before Christmas 2021 was an extraordinary day for the entire semiconductor industry.
It was like Santa Claus had sent an early gift. A special research and development fund worth 100 billion yuan was given to the semiconductor industry.
Not just that, but the rumored fifth-largest semiconductor industry cluster was finally settled.
According to the latest document issued by the relevant departments, the fifth-largest semiconductor industry cluster was officially located in the central region!
With Jiangcheng and Star City as the center, the five semiconductor industrial bases were circled on the map. Dozens of semiconductor companies with a market value of more than 10 billion yuan and related companies in the electronics industry had settled in.
What was different from the past was that only Huawei HiSilicon, Unisplendour Group, Changdian Technology, and a few other leading companies had settled in the semiconductor industrial base located in the province of Hubei. They implemented semi-military management and restricted foreign investment.
In the past, this was quite unusual.
Especially for the giants in the semiconductor industry like Samsung, Intel, and Hynix. Not to mention keeping them out, the local leaders couldn't wait to send teams overseas to conduct research and invite people from abroad.
A giant semiconductor company would not only provide a large number of jobs, but it would also create a cluster effect and scale effect for the local industry.
Why was Foxconn treated as a VIP by the local government? Not only were they given the green light, but they were also welcomed by senior officials.
This was not as simple as a tax. Compared to the employment rate it could provide, for the local leaders, this bit of negative news was nothing. It was not a problem for them to step in and suppress the matter.
However, this time was different.
Not only was the semiconductor industrial base located in Hubei under the direct management of the central government, but they also deployed troops in the area.
The residents living nearby only saw a six-lane highway being built from the wasteland at an incredible speed. Then, trucks with the logos of major companies, escorted by military vehicles, passed through the checkpoint at the fork and went to the industrial base with towering walls.
All of this seemed to be arranged. All the companies involved in this project were like clockwork gears, turning in an orderly manner under the established order.
Such a huge move obviously couldn't escape the attention of people from all over the world.
The foreign media speculated that China was working with many high-tech companies to develop a powerful electronic weapon. Some people speculated that China had discovered a huge amount of minerals on the Moon, and in order to consolidate their strategic advantage on the Moon, they were going to increase subsidies for their semiconductor companies.
There was an even more exaggerated rumor that China had received a signal from aliens and was secretly building a spaceship …
All kinds of rumors were flying around, and it was hard to tell the truth from the lies. However, no matter what kind of rumors they were, they would always have their audience.
In any case, this "sporty" mass production had pushed China's semiconductor industry to the forefront …
…
Jin Ling University Physics Department.
The office not far from the stairs was busy and lively.
A young professor with black-rimmed glasses was sitting sloppily at the corner of his desk. His right hand was directing the students to decorate the office with bells and ribbons. He was very busy.
Luo Wenxuan rubbed his chin and looked at the office that was half decorated. He suddenly spoke.
"I think we can add another fireplace there. Christmas without a fireplace feels like it's missing something."
A research scientist carrying a cardboard box full of decorations said, "But professor, our budget doesn't seem to be enough."
"Not enough?" Luo Wenxuan rubbed his chin and frowned. He said, "Wait, I remember there should be a lot of research funding left."
The noob researchers in the office began to sweat profusely.
Using research funding to decorate the office …
A few years ago, this wasn't a problem. But in recent years, the government has been very strict, and this guy still dares to do this …
At this moment, the door was knocked three times, and then it was pushed open.
Everyone in the office turned to look at the person who just stepped into the office.
Lu Zhou looked at the pairs of eyes, then looked at the fancy office. He hesitated for a second and looked at Luo Wenxuan.
After a bit of silence, Lu Zhou put his hand on the doorknob.
"Sorry, I think I'm in the wrong room."
Just when Lu Zhou was about to close the door, Luo Wenxuan stepped forward and grabbed the door.
"No, no, no, you're in the right place, you came at the right time! I was just about to show you around my office … "Luo Wenxuan's eyes suddenly lit up when he saw the notebook under Lu Zhou's elbow. He asked curiously," What is this? "
"Professor Faltings's notebook, he gave it to me before he left."
Lu Zhou had something to discuss with him, so he didn't hide anything.
He flipped open the notebook in his hand and quickly found the previously folded page. He showed it to Luo Wenxuan and said, "The discovery you mentioned to me before doesn't seem to be a coincidence. Not only did Dyson notice the magical connection between Riemann's conjecture and physics, but even Professor Faltings has done some research on this phenomenon."
"Let me take a look …"
Taking the notebook, Luo Wenxuan excitedly read the contents of the notebook line by line. The curiosity on his face was soon replaced by shock.
"Incredible …" Luo Wenxuan's eyes were glued to the notebook as he said excitedly, "Even Professor Faltings thinks that Riemann's conjecture can be solved by physics? My premonition was right! "
"Correction, Professor Faltings doesn't think so. My opinion is that this might work, but it is very likely to be more difficult than mathematical methods. This is because we don't know anything about the eigenvalues of this random Hermitian matrix, much less its corresponding quantum system. "
Lu Zhou shrugged and said, "But what makes me curious is that the non-trivial zero correlation function of the Riemann zeta function shows a high degree of consistency with the correlation function of the eigenvalues of the random Hermitian matrix … Do you have any good ideas?"
After hearing Lu Zhou's words, Luo Wenxuan went into deep thought.
After a while, he spoke.
"I don't know, the Riemann zeta function is beyond the scope of my research field … But your statement reminds me of the BGS conjecture. The quantum system described by the random Hermitian matrix corresponds to the classical chaotic system under the classical limit."
The BGS conjecture, also known as the Bohigas – Giannoni – Schmit conjecture, was originally formulated for the Gauss orthogonal ensemble. As one of the important problems in the field of nuclear physics and theoretical physics, this conjecture was supported by some numerical calculations. However, it had not been rigorously proved so far.
Luo Wenxuan stared at the contents of the notebook for a long time. He looked at Lu Zhou and spoke.
"What about you? What do you think is behind the Riemann conjecture? "
"I think it may correspond to a quantum system that we don't understand. It is different from the classical chaotic system that we are familiar with … Maybe we can even find something outside of the standard model."
Lu Zhou paused for a second and spoke about the purpose of his visit.
"Are you interested in cooperating?"
