After its establishment, the Bureau of Abnormal Events of China focused its main efforts on finding a suitable cosmic coordinate system and studying souls.
Because both China and America only obtained one Demon Brain, they were unable to study the Demon Brain itself.
According to the most primitive demonic brain mentioned by Zheng Li in his paper, it could not even be called a demonic brain; it could only be described as a consciousness enhancement device. No matter how well it was studied, nothing could be found.
The technological barriers are too high.
China also sent people everywhere to search for the original texts of Taoist cultivation in history, and then studied them in an attempt to find traces of magic in history.
Unfortunately, the effort put into this yielded no results whatsoever; the methods of cultivation in Chinese classics were nothing more than the imaginary summaries of the ancients.
On the contrary, mining Magic Coin has been progressing steadily.
Chinese mathematics has seen rapid development in recent years.
In just thirty years, it has gone from being second-rate to third-rate, which is a tremendous improvement.
This is equivalent to the Chinese national football team taking thirty years to improve from its current level to the quarterfinals of the World Cup, and in the future, it may even become a semifinalist in the World Cup.
The return of two masters, Shiing-Shen Chern and Shing-Tung Yau, greatly contributed to the advancement of mathematics in China. Coupled with the already established Yenching University school of thought, the Chinese mathematical community made significant progress.
People outside the field may think that mathematics is a research discipline that relies entirely on oneself and talent, but that is not the case. Mathematical research depends a lot on communication and the passing down of knowledge.
To put it simply, when you are pursuing your doctorate, your advisor will determine your research direction and topic. Top advisors can give you several topics to choose from.
Some things are simple and can be accomplished with effort, while others are more difficult and may take up to seven years to achieve, and still others are so difficult that even those with talent may not be able to accomplish them.
Your supervisor can assess the difficulty of research topics and offer suggestions for selection, allowing you to choose slightly simpler topics that you can produce results for publication.
For the long-term development of a mathematics PhD, publishing papers is not the most important thing. Rather, it is to help you build confidence little by little, so that you have the courage to challenge top-level problems in the long years to come.
Nobody would dare to challenge the Riemann Hypothesis right away, right? The problem is, if you choose a supervisor who doesn't know much about it, and he gives you a project that's just as difficult as the Riemann Hypothesis, you won't graduate and you'll even doubt your own intelligence.
As for where the professor has so many students and so many research topics for students to choose from, it's because of the problems accumulated by his school of thought. Some of these problems were thought about by predecessors but not solved, while others were thought about but deemed too simple to bother with.
Therefore, it is easy for a school to cluster in a certain direction. For example, in the mathematics department of Jiangcheng University, professors and researchers specializing in partial differential equations make up half of the faculty.
The benefit of attending math conferences is that when you talk to your peers, they might give you inspiration, or they might tell you that a senior colleague of mine worked on a problem for several years without getting results and gave up, or where the pitfalls are, and help you avoid them.
A counterexample is Zhang Yitang, whose life was filled with desolation, and whose poems in his later years moved the Jiangguan Pass. He had a terrible mentor and didn't prove the twin prime conjecture until he was over sixty years old.
If he had met a good mentor in his early years, his achievements would certainly have been much greater.
Of course, without the legendary quality of his story, even if he achieved greater success, his fame might not have spread beyond his immediate circle.
The Bureau of Abnormal Events directly recruited top scholars from several universities, including Yenching University, Huaguo University of Science and Technology, and Aurora University, to study the optimization of the Haiber algorithm.
You can suggest which university or person to come from internally; the management bureau will do everything possible to meet everyone's needs.
The leaders among these mathematics scholars, knowing the inside story and having met the Chinese Shennong who looked ten years younger, almost all of them put in their best effort.
Since Shing-Tung Yau is American, he could not participate in such projects in China, so Tian Gang was the only person in charge of mathematics.
Even without Qiu Chengtong going against Tian Gang, no one is more convincing than Tian Gang.
There are also factional struggles within the mathematics community.
"Gentlemen, the Russian side has completed the optimization of the Haber algorithm, and they have indicated that they can sell the optimization method to us. What do you think?"
Tian Gang was very capable when he was young, but now he is over seventy years old, and his mental agility is far inferior to that of young people.
His greatest strength lies in his many years of mathematical experience, which allows him to offer useful advice to collaborators or his students.
However, in this kind of truly high-intensity research, Tian Gang is actually not as good as the younger generation.
Of course, the original expectation was that he would play a leading and coordinating role.
After Tian Gang finished speaking, the professors below began to discuss. Tian Gang did not ask them to be quiet; he wanted to wait for them to come to a conclusion before speaking.
"Was it the people in St. Petersburg or the people in Moscow who did it?"
"What methods did Russia use?"
"I don't think we need to buy optimization methods. We can find out information, and even just knowing which methods they used would be a great help to us."
Russia is very cunning. The deal they proposed is to sell you the whole thing, but in return, 30 percent of the minerals mined by the Chinese government in the future will belong to Russia, which is equivalent to a permanent tax.
Russia proposed that three coins be delivered only after ten are mined, instead of trading 0.3 magic coins for each one mined.
This is obviously unacceptable to China. Although no one can mine it now, everyone can see that the mining speed will be greatly improved after the Haibo algorithm is optimized.
Thirty percent is permanent, which means it can keep clinging to China and sucking its blood indefinitely, at almost zero cost.
Russia knew that the other party would not agree to this condition, so it proposed another method of exchange: they broke down the optimization method into many parts, and each part was traded at a different price.
However, the transaction cost can only be magic coins. For example, some steps might cost 0.5 magic coins, while others might cost 2 magic coins.
China neither rejected nor agreed to this approach, but indicated that they needed time to decide.
As the person in charge, Tian Gang had a certain right to know about these matters, and he was very angry after hearing about them.
Because the deal proposed by Russia was a blatant slap in the face, clearly showing their contempt for China and their belief that China could not solve the problem on its own.
After the mathematicians present finished their discussion, he could hear what they were talking about. "Yongbin, do you have any thoughts?"
"I don't think we can accept the Russians' demands. We're already making great progress. If all goes well, it will take another month, and even if things don't go smoothly, it will take at most six months."
After the other party answered, Tian Gang asked again: "Every day we research later means that the number of star systems we can choose from decreases, and it becomes more difficult to find planets that meet the criteria."
"As for agreeing to Russia's request, we have verified it in the last two days, and it can begin in a week at most."
