Chapter XXIX

There were still three full days left until Monday, perhaps because he knew that Junxin was busy with experiments, and no one from the teacher or his classmates rushed over to disturb him. Junxin, on the other hand, has been staying in the library or study room, referring to hundreds of documents, and repeatedly refining and modifying his experimental plan. As for the problem of eating, he completely relied on Gu Mengxue to bring him every day. However, even if he was accompanied by a beautiful woman, Junxin was a quick solution when he ate, and then after a few words with Gu Mengxue, he once again devoted himself to the design of the experiment.

Historically, the discovery of quasicrystals has been considered a very unexpected and inevitable discovery. However, if it is discovered in the case of classical crystallography, then it will undoubtedly bear far more than the glory of discovering it.

However, Junxin's situation is more special, so there is no need to worry about these situations, because he is only a mathematician after all, after discovering these, as long as he pays attention to his mathematical problems, as for the follow-up questions, Junxin said that he is a mathematician rather than a chemist, and he can completely prevaricate the past.

This reminded Junxin that mathematicians sometimes do things that scientists in other disciplines can't do anything about. At that time, the famous mathematician Fourier's paper "Analysis of the Principle of Heat", which at first glance seems to be a treatise on physics, but it is a classic mathematical treatise. The inspiration that Junxin got from this was the opposite of Fourier, and he wanted to write a classic chemistry paper from a mathematical point of view.

Although Junxin did not hear anything outside the window, some things about him spread throughout the Chinese scientific community after the press conference.

"Junxin is confident and calm, he believes that the Modell conjecture and the Goldbach conjecture are generally great achievements, and will play a huge role in solving the problems that have spanned the scientific community for more than 300 years." This is an objective report from China Science and Technology News.

"In just two years since the establishment of the department of Mizuki University, the department has been able to continue the glory of the Department of Mathematics of Mizuki, and there are many talents. Recently, Junxin, a freshman at Mizuki University, has solved the famous problem left over from the mathematical community, the Model conjecture. It has attracted strong attention from the world's mathematics community...... "This is a report by China Education News, which has a good relationship with Mizuki University."

With the strong support of the party and the state, Junxin, a high-achieving student of Mizuki University in China, recently successfully solved one of the problems of number theory, the Moder conjecture. It is reported that Junxin's research results have been published in the Annals of Mathematics, one of the largest journals in the field of mathematics, which is the latest achievement in the study of Fermat's theorem in the world today. This is a report from Xinhua News Agency.

Junxin, a freshman at Mizuki University, solved the Model conjecture, and it is reported that the successful solution of this conjecture promoted the development of mathematical science. At the same time, Junxin believes that the proof of the Modler conjecture is an international achievement that can win the highest level of "Fields Medal" in mathematics. ”

…………

The press report directly caused a storm, and many media put forward a request for a separate interview with Junxin. However, because the Junxin experiment was imminent, the interview request was rejected by Mizuki's propaganda department. But the more this happens, the more topics there are about Junxin.

Of course, not all media is on the bright side. After all, Junxin's statement is still a bit too decisive and does not conform to the tactful and humble style of the Chinese people, so some media still question Junxin's words. And the largest of these newspapers was a review in the Southern Weekly: "... Mathematics is about accumulation, and we don't know whether the facts proved by completing a world's difficult problem as a freshman are completely correct. However, the mathematics department of Guanshuimu was able to have such strength to guide a student, and we do not know what is in it.

…… Isn't it strange that China has lagged behind the West for many years, but a young man has spoken out loudly and put forward strange theories before many predecessors in academic circles? ”

……

Naturally, such remarks do not affect Junxin, and given the strict tradition of Mizuki University's governance, it is generally difficult for such praise or derogatory remarks to enter the ears of students without the approval of the university. Of course, a complete ban is not possible. It's just that for an otaku like Junxin, such remarks have no impact.

At this moment, Junxin had already entered the laboratory, and all the other brothers and sisters in the outside world did not tell him, and Gu Mengxue, who stayed with him every day, was probably worried about the impact on his experiments, and did not tell him about the disturbing arguments in the outside world.

"Prepare for the twenty-eighth experiment, adjust the cooling equipment, and set the rate and time of cooling!"

"Preparation for the twenty-ninth experiment, use the aluminum-manganese alloy formula No. 3, prepare for another experiment!"

……

It was none other than Gu Mengxue who was standing next to Junxin and making records. Perhaps because I didn't understand the experiment, I looked at the page by page adjustment and page by page of failure in the notebook, and couldn't help asking, "After the experiment has failed so many times, is there still a need to do it?" ”

When Jun Xin heard this, he paused for the action at hand, and then continued to add reagents and other things as if nothing happened, and said while slowing down the experiment: "Errors or failures in experiments are very normal things in the laboratory. No exploratory experiment can be successful the first time. In contrast, some experiments may fail more than a thousand times before they succeed once. My experiment only failed thirty times, and although there is theoretical support, the possibility of failure is very high. After all, it's an area that people have never touched before! ”

"How do you know if the experiment is a failure?" Gu Mengxue asked curiously, he couldn't understand the diffraction pattern on the monitor at all, he only saw some dots scattered irregularly, and he didn't know what this thing represented.

"According to my theory, there is a long-range ordered substance that does not have periodicity, and if my inference is true, then the diffraction pattern will show a certain distribution pattern, and it can be calculated that the distribution of these substances is a fifth-order symmetry. Of course, it is also possible to have symmetry greater than five times, say ten times! ”

"It's complicated, I don't understand!"

"Hehe, Mengxue, why don't you make such an idea, if there are five or ten points of light around one point in the map, then this kind of diffraction pattern is what I need. Again, this is the new form of crystal I needed. ”

"Then why do you use aluminum and manganese, which are so expensive and hard to get." Gu Mengxue continued to ask.

"Uh..."Jun Xin was speechless, he couldn't tell Gu Mengxue that a year and a half later, Israel's Shechtman inadvertently discovered the quasi-crystal structure in the melted aluminum-manganese alloy that was told to cool!

"I see, it's your theory again, right?" Gu Mengxue couldn't help but smile when she saw Jun Xin who was deflated, but it made Jun Xin a little stunned.
