After chatting with Wang Yinan for a while, and then fidgeting and drinking two cups of Da Hong Robe, Professor Tao finally waited for a stack of printer paper brought by the assistant, and soon, he didn't care about Wang Yinan and immersed himself in his mathematical world.

Taking this opportunity, Wang Yinan carefully looked at Professor Tao's office and described it in one word, that is, "chaos". Similar to Mr. Yau's office, Professor Tao's office has the same large floor-to-ceiling windows, two rows of huge bookshelves, large desks and sofas.

However, unlike Mr. Yau's neat office, perhaps because of the young people, Professor Tao's office is almost always in a state of extreme entropy (a thermodynamic term, when a place can't be messed up anymore, you can describe it as extremely entropy).

Aside from the couch and the coffee table in the guest area, things are almost not where they should be, but come to think of it, this is the best way to keep it secret, and only Professor Tao's IQ of 230 can remember where to put what is needed.

Maybe it's an hour, maybe it's a century, Wang Yinan took a biography from the bookshelf, and when he was looking at it, Professor Tao suddenly walked up to him, patted Wang Yinan on the shoulder, and asked expectantly, "Is there anything else?"

"No, the result of our final discussion is the content of the last photo, the contents of the box, we can only guess the conditions it satisfies and the topology involved," Wang Yinan said.

"We can't find out what the form of the specific equation is, Mr. Qiu said that if only one person on the Blue Star can figure it out, it's just you."

Obviously, Mr. Qiu's praise made Professor Tao very happy, "It's an exaggeration, at least the Perelman of the hairy bear can definitely get it",

"I don't know him well with the one that solved Poincaré's conjecture," Wang Yinan said, and he didn't want to think about it, and Professor Tao didn't know him either.

"I have to say, you have asked a very interesting question, a simple space group and a color space group mixed together, which is indeed a very interesting research direction, and I'm sure no one has done this before," said Professor Tao, picking up the chalk and starting to write on the huge blackboard in his office.

Wang Yinan felt that the small whiteboard in front of his desk was simply weak, and he must get a big blackboard with a wall and colorful chalk when he went back, so that it would be cool enough.

Professor Tao first listed the conclusions they had reached on the blackboard, and then said while writing, "There are two problems that need to be solved at present."

"One is the elimination of infinity, which I remember last year when someone was doing super string theory, he proposed a new analytical method that can be considered from this direction".

"The other is the analysis of local topological properties, have you ever tried to add a new non-commutable group property to the fiber bundle in this manifold locality?"

Wang Yinan said with a confused face, "No, can you still do this."

"Of course, this is the result of Jackson, not the Jackson who sings, but Jackson of Princeton, who mentioned this possibility in a paper published last year and deduced a series of formulas."

"From the non-commutative nature of the formula, it seems to be intrinsically related to what you envision",

"Let me find you, little darling, where are you",

Professor Tao quickly wrote mathematical symbols on the blackboard while reciting words.

Well, this is the IQ of 230, Wang Yinan sighed convincingly, "If the brain is overclocked by 50%, it shouldn't be down."

Wang Yinan tried his best to keep up with Professor Tao's rhythm, and from time to time compared it with the actual lattice structure in his mind, if he calculated it according to Professor Tao's method, how should the frequency be calculated.

Time flew by in the heated discussion, and Wang Yinan estimated that his brain was 100% overclocked, so he could barely keep up with Professor Tao's rhythm. Professor Tao was also surprised that this young man from mainland China could keep up with his own ideas on such cutting-edge mathematical problems, and more importantly, he was not a full-time mathematician, but a physicist.

In the evening, at the invitation of Professor Tao, Wang Yinan had a sumptuous dinner at Professor Tao's house, Professor Tao's wife, Laura, is a Baiyue person, and the Baiyue cuisine made is the best taste Wang Yinan has ever eaten.

In the next few days, Wang Yinan stayed in the guest room of Professor Tao's house, and except for occasional lectures, Professor Tao spent almost all of his time discussing this mathematical problem with Wang Yinan, and occasionally Professor Tao's colleagues from UCLA would participate in the discussion, providing some perspectives that Professor Tao and Wang Yinan could not consider.

Of course, there is still a big gap between Wang Yinan's mathematical level and Professor Tao's, but he can't stand up to him and the Gödel system, a big killer, every time the discussion goes to a foggy misguided path and faces a difficult choice, Wang Yinan can always find the best route.

The Gödel system can't tell humans what it thinks, according to human logic and ways of thinking, so it can't write a complete paper. But the Gödel system can tell Wang Yinan which path has fewer mistakes and is closer to the destination, so in the eyes of Professor Tao and other UCLA professors, Wang Yinan has an amazing mathematical intuition, and every time he encounters such a difficult situation, he can always find the route closest to the answer.

At the beginning, Professor Tao still wanted to hear Wang Yinan say how he made his choice, but he couldn't get an answer several times, because Wang Yinan himself couldn't tell why, and Professor Tao had to give up.

In fact, it is Professor Tao, who has an IQ of 230, and the cooperation with the super artificial intelligence Gödel system, of course, the Gödel system is deeply hidden in merit and fame, and Wang Yinan is the representative.

There is also good news on the other side of the ocean, the team led by Dong Zhi has begun to try to add titanium atoms to calcium and copper oxides to form titanium calcium copper oxide crystal compounds, but because the yield is too low, it is difficult to obtain materials that can be used for experiments.

Of course, this is temporary, and with the level of proficiency in the experiment, and the optimization of the photo/electrochemical reaction, it is expected that in a week or two, sufficient material will be available for resistance testing in the temperature zone of dry ice methanol.

Wang Yinan thought to himself about the switch of this experiment, and I had to rush back to press it.

Professor Tao + Wang Yinan (the Gödel system represented), this may be the most powerful intellectual combination on the planet.

Wang Yinan felt that there was no problem that they couldn't solve, and it was, a week later, the last piece of the puzzle was perfectly completed.

Professor Tao wrote the last symbol on the blackboard with chalk, and then habitually put a tick next to it, as if we had finished the exam and wrote at the end, "As above, verified".

There were only two people in the room, Professor Tao and Wang Yinan, and if it was at the venue of the conference, there should be thunderous applause at this time. For Professor Tao, it was just a mathematical problem solved, and he didn't realize that behind this problem, it may be that the entire human civilization has taken a big step forward.

Just as Minkowski helped Lao Ai solve the mathematical problems of non-Euclidean geometry, only Lao Ai can see the curved space-time, the completely different world from those damn mathematical symbols, and even, those formulas tell us that the whole universe came from a big bang billions of years ago...

Mathematics, that's how good X.

Generally speaking, the first author is the main idea of the paper and the writer, in order to indicate the size of the contribution, sometimes the co-first author will be indicated.

The corresponding author is the external contact person of the paper, usually the boss of the entire research group, and when the journal is contacted, it is mainly in contact with the corresponding author.

Previously, due to Mr. Qiu's high spirits, the first article on this topic was the previous research results of Li Wenjing and Wang Yinan, including the more than 30 photos discussing the content with Mr. Qiu, the corresponding author is Li Wenjing, the first co-authors are Li Wenjing and Wang Yinan, and Mr. Qiu is only listed as the third co-author.

After Professor Tao asked about the signature of the first article, he also asked the second article to be treated accordingly, "A real academic master, there is nothing to say about his character", Wang Yinan couldn't help but continue to sigh. However, this time, he resolutely opposed Professor Tao's proposal, after all, if the first article, Mr. Qiu just picked up the gaps, and the third author was still reasonable, the main work of the second article was completed by Professor Tao, and then signed the third author, Wang Yinan felt that he was not so thick-skinned.

After fierce debate and humility, the corresponding author of the second article was named Professor Tao, and the first co-authors were Professor Tao and Wang Yinan.

The first article has been sorted out by Li Wenjing, and Mr. Qiu has also revised it, and the second article is relatively simple, which can be regarded as the last floor of the building.

After discussing the two Fields Medal winners, they chose Annals of Mathematics to publish, and after sending the two articles to the editorial office of the annual, Professor Tao decided to go to Princeton in person.

Well, Professor Tao and Mr. Jiaqiu's joint submission of the article, Professor Tao personally went to the editorial office of the yearbook to deliver the manuscript, Wang Yinan can think that the layout of the next issue of the magazine must be insufficient, it is estimated that several authors will cry, and their articles will definitely be squeezed into the next issue, or even supplement.

However, this is nothing to do with Wang Yinan, he boarded a flight to the imperial capital the day after he got the final result, and for a full fourteen hours, Wang Yinan has been worried, it is said, well, it is just said that a certain flight of Malaysia Airlines, because there is someone on the plane who wants him to disappear, he disappeared into the vast sea inexplicably.

If the rice country knew what kind of monster they let go, I guess it would really do such a thing.

Fortunately, or because of Qian Zhonghua's caution, Wang Zhongshu did not show any flaws until the flight landed, after all, there are tens of thousands of UCLA students, and it is impossible to be stared at by the FBI all day long.

In short, Wang Yinan returned to China safely.

There's also a switch waiting for him to come back and press it.
