As a scholar with integrity, Lu Zhou was very disgusted with the academic style. He was also very opposed to factions in the academic world.
However, for those who he thought had potential and were worth cultivating, he would still invest a certain amount of resources to help them grow.
Just like how he poached Chen Yang from the Yan University Mathematics Center. It wasn't because he had a grudge against Academician Wang, it was because he felt bad seeing such a promising talent being wasted.
Being able to understand the hyperelliptic curve analysis method to such a profound degree in a month and a half, and being able to apply it to other problems besides Riemann's conjecture, this wasn't just a matter of talent, it was a matter of dedication to mathematics.
In the impetuous environment of academia, there were very few people who could truly enter this state without any distractions.
This was even more precious than being born with innate talent.
Lu Zhou stopped Professor Wu from thanking him. He didn't stay in the laboratory for long, so he turned around and left.
Lu Zhou believed that with Lu Zhou's experience, he should be able to grasp this opportunity. Lu Zhou didn't need to tell Lu Zhou what to pay attention to.
After leaving the carbon-based semiconductor laboratory, Lu Zhou was about to visit the associate professor he poached from Yan University.
However, he suddenly remembered that he forgot to share this piece of good news with Chen Yushan. Therefore, he took out his phone and called Chen Yushan.
The phone rang twice, and the call was quickly connected.
Chen Yushan's voice was heard from the other end of the phone.
"Oh? Did the sun rise from the west? Why are you suddenly calling me today? "
Lu Zhou smiled and said, "I have good news to share with you, can't you call me?"
Chen Yushan asked curiously, "What good news?"
Lu Zhou smiled and said, "A chip with 10,000 carbon-based transistors has been successfully produced in the laboratory!"
The other end of the phone went silent for a few seconds.
Then, Chen Yushan took a deep breath.
With a trembling voice of disbelief, Chen Yushan confirmed with an incredulous tone.
"Really?!"
"Carbon-based chip?
"Are you sure you're not joking?"
Lu Zhou smiled and said, "Do I sound like I'm joking?"
Chen Yushan took a deep breath and asked, "Where are you now?"
Lu Zhou: "Institute for Advanced Study. I'm back from Beijing. "
"No wonder …"
Chen Yushan took a deep breath and leaned back in her office chair. She spoke in disbelief, "I thought it would take at least another two years to see the results, I didn't expect it to be this fast … How long will it take for carbon-based chip technology to mature? I mean, roughly. "
After hearing Chen Yushan's question, Lu Zhou thought for a bit and spoke in a conservative tone.
"It's hard to say when the technology matures. I'm not sure what the physical limits of carbon-based chips are, and what the technical bottlenecks are. However, if it's commercialized, it shouldn't be a problem to produce a commercialized carbon-based chip within a year. Even if the process is slightly inferior to silicon-based chips, the physical properties of carbon-based transistors can make up for the difference. "
He paused for a second and spoke.
"I've already asked Professor Wu to prepare a report on the specific technical details and test performance. You'll see it in about a week. I believe that what he wrote should be clearer than what I wrote. When the time comes, you can directly read the contents of the report and understand … "
After sharing the good news about the carbon-based chip technology breakthrough with Chen Yushan, Lu Zhou happened to be at the mathematics research institute.
After chatting for a bit, Lu Zhou hung up the phone and put his phone back in his pocket. He walked to Chen Yang's office and knocked on the door. He then pushed the door open and walked in.
When he walked into the office, he was immediately hit by the thick chalk dust.
Lu Zhou waved his hand in front of his nose and couldn't help but speak.
"Why don't you open the window?"
Chen Yang, who was standing in front of the blackboard, turned around and pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose with a blank expression.
"… I forgot."
"Go open the window, be careful of pneumoconiosis … Oh my god, you might as well do your research outside."
Chen Yang said in a serious manner, "But outside, we can't use chalk on a rainy day."
Lu Zhou: "…"
For some reason, Lu Zhou suddenly understood why Chen Yang was kicked out of the office.
After the window was opened, the air in the office was a lot better.
Lu Zhou looked at the calculations on the blackboard and nodded with a smile.
"Are you used to the working environment here?"
The expression on Chen Yang's face didn't change. He nodded and said, "Not bad. But for me, a blackboard is enough."
"That's good, it seems like you're used to working here." Lu Zhou didn't want to stay in this room any longer. He said, "I just came to see how you're doing, if there's nothing else … I'm leaving."
Seeing that Lu Zhou was about to leave, Chen Yang quickly stopped him and said, "Wait a second."
Lu Zhou: "What?"
Chen Yang: "I have a question, I want to ask you … Do you have time right now?"
Ask me a question?
There was a hint of curiosity in Lu Zhou's eyes. He smiled and said, "Whether I have time or not depends on the question. Tell me about it first."
"I'm not sure if this problem will take up too much of your time. When I was researching the hyperelliptic curve analysis method you published in Annual Mathematics, I noticed that you pointed out that the homotopy types of complex complete intersections are only determined below the intermediate dimension. Therefore, the surgery theory can't be directly applied to the research of popular classification problems. I tried to verify this, and of course, it's correct, but I also had a very interesting thought …"
Chen Yang picked up a piece of chalk and wrote a few lines of calculations on the blackboard.
[…]
[… When n is greater than 2, two n-dimensional complex complete intersections X ^ n (d), X ^ n (d ') are diffeomorphisms if and only if their Euler number, total degree, and Pontrjagin class are all equal.]
Chen Yang took two steps back and looked at the formulas on the blackboard. He frowned and said, "If these formulas are true, then we can build a model that freely converts topology problems and complex analysis problems."
Lu Zhou stared at the formulas on the blackboard and raised his eyebrows.
This is a very interesting question.
He had thought about using partial differential methods to solve Riemann's conjecture before, but he didn't have any good ideas. If he could connect topology and complex analysis problems and introduce differential manifolds into the hyperelliptic curve analysis method, who knows what kind of magical chemical reactions might occur.
At least it was worth a try.
"So they're correct?"
Chen Yang scratched his head and said, "I don't know … Honestly, I feel like they're correct, but I can't think of a way to prove them."
"Interesting question." Lu Zhou stared at the formulas on the blackboard for a long time. He then took out his phone and took a photo of the formulas on the blackboard. He looked at Chen Yang and said, "I can't give you a clear answer right now. Can I do some research and give you an answer?"
Chen Yang nodded and said, "No problem, I'll try to do some research."
Lu Zhou couldn't help but smile.
"Okay, let's see who solves this problem first."
