Scholar's Advanced Technological System Chapter 873 – Joining Forces

Chapter 873 Joining Forces

24th of December.

On the day before Christmas in 2021, the semiconductor industry had an extremely unusual day.

A special research and development fund with a value of 100 billion yuan fell into the pocket of the semiconductor industry. This was almost like a gift from Santa.

Not just that, but the semiconductor industry cluster group was also set in stone.

According to the latest released documents, the semiconductor industry cluster was going to be set in the central region of China!

With Jiangcheng and Xingcheng as the center, the five semiconductor industrial bases were spread out on the map. Dozens of semiconductor and electronics companies with more than tens of billions in market cap value had begun settling in.

Unlike the past, only a few leading companies in the semiconductor industry were located in the Hubei province. Companies such as Huawei, Unisplendour, and Changdian Technology. These companies had also been banned from accepting foreign capital investments.

This was quite unusual.

Especially since there were plenty of advanced semiconductor companies such as Samsung and Intel, in which the local executives would love for them to invest.

Not only did the presence of a giant semiconductor company provide a large number of jobs, but it also improved their economies of scale.

However, this time was different.

The residents living nearby saw a six-lane highway being constructed in the middle of nowhere. Right after that, corporate trucks being escorted by military vehicles passed through various checkpoints and headed toward the industrial base.

It was like the companies involved were all clockwork gears, operating in an efficient and orderly manner.

A huge movement like this obviously attracted the attention of the outside world.

Foreign media outlets had speculated that China was uniting the high-tech companies to develop a powerful electric weapon. Other people had speculated that China had discovered huge lunar mineral reserves, and they increased their subsidies on semiconductor companies to maintain their lunar advantage.

There were even more ridiculous rumors, such as China received alien signals and was secretly building an alien spacecraft…

The rumors spread like wildfire, and it was difficult to distinguish the true ones from the false ones.

Regardless, the Chinese semiconductor industry was the center of attention…

…

Jin Ling University.

The offices were more lively than usual.

A young professor with black-rimmed glasses sat at the corner of his desk. He gave orders to the students, who were hanging up Christmas decorations.

Luo Wenxuan looked at the half-decorated office, and he suddenly said, “I think we should add a fireplace, you can’t have a Christmas without a fireplace.”

A noob researcher moved in a cardboard box of decorations and said, “But Professor, we’re running out of our budget.”

“Running out?” Luo Wenxuan frowned and rubbed his chin. “But I remember there’s a lot of research funding left, right?”

The noob researchers in the office were muddled.

Using research funding to decorate the office…

This was fine a few years ago, but recently, the research funds had been closely monitored…

Suddenly, they heard the office door open.

Everyone in the office looked at the person in front of the door.

Lu Zhou looked around the decorated office, and he paused for a second before making eye contact with Luo Wenxuan.

Lu Zhou went silent for a while and placed his hand on the doorknob.

“Oh sorry, bad time.”

Lu Zhou was about to close the door when Luo Wenxuan walked up and opened the door.

“No no no, it’s fine, you came at the perfect time! I was just about to give you a tour of my office…,” Luo Wenxuan looked at the notebook in Lu Zhou’s arms and asked curiously, “What’s that?”

“Professor Faltings’ notebook, he gave it to me before leaving.”

Lu Zhou wasn’t going to hide anything.

He opened the notebook and found the page he wanted. He then said to Luo Wenxuan, “The discovery you mentioned wasn’t an accident. Dyson isn’t the only one who noticed the connection, even Professor Faltings noticed the relationship between the Riemann hypothesis and quantum physics.”

“Let me see…”

Luo Wenxuan looked at the notebook excitedly, and his curious face soon turned into disbelief.

“Incredible…” Luo Wenxuan’s eyes were glued to the page as he excitedly said, “Even Professor Faltings thinks the Riemann hypothesis can be solved using physics methods? My hypothesis was correct!”

“No, Professor Faltings didn’t think that. But my point is that, maybe this could work, but it will be much more difficult than going by the mathematical route. We have no idea what the eigenvalues of random Hermitian matrices are, let alone its quantum system values.”

Lu Zhou shrugged and continued, “But I am curious as to why the Riemann zeta function non-trivial zero-points are related to the eigenvalues of a random Hermitian matrix. They seem to be closely correlated… Do you have any idea why?”

Luo Wenxuan went into deep thought.

After a while, he spoke.

“I don’t know, the Riemann zeta function is beyond my research field… but what you said reminds me of the BGS conjecture, whereby the quantum system described by a random Hermitian matrix corresponds to a classic chaotic system under the classical limit.”

The BGS conjecture was also known as the Bohigas–Giannoni–Schmit conjecture. It was one of the more important problems in the field of nuclear physics and theoretical physics. This conjecture was supported by various numerical calculations, but so far, it had yet to be rigorously proven.

Luo Wenxuan stared at the notebook for a while. He then looked at Lu Zhou and asked, “What about you? What do you think is behind the Riemann hypothesis?”

“I think it might correspond to an unknown quantum system. It’s definitely different from the familiar classic chaotic system… We might be able to use it and find things outside of the standard model.”

Lu Zhou paused for a second. He then asked, “Do you want to work together?”
