Chapter 874 Joining Forces

December twenty-fourth.

The day before Christmas in 2021 is an extremely unusual day for the entire semiconductor industry.

Just like a gift sent by Santa Claus in advance, a special research and development fund with a total value of 100 billion fell on the research and development port of the semiconductor industry.

Not only that, the previously rumored fifth largest semiconductor industry group has finally settled.

According to the latest documents issued by relevant departments, the fifth largest semiconductor industry group has officially landed in the central region!

With Jiangcheng and Xingcheng as the center, five semiconductor industrial bases are circled on the map, and dozens of semiconductor companies with a market value of more than 10 billion yuan and related companies in the electronics industry chain have settled in one after another.

What is different from the past is that in the fifth largest semiconductor industry group, among the five largest semiconductor industrial bases, only a few leading enterprises such as Huawei HiSilicon, Tsinghua Unigroup, and Changdian Technology have settled in the semiconductor industrial base located in Hubei Province. And while implementing semi-militarized management and central government directly under the central government, the entry of foreign capital is restricted.

Going by the norm, this is quite unusual.

Especially giants in the semiconductor industry like Samsung, Intel, and Hynix, not to mention keeping them out, the local leaders can't wait to send a delegation to investigate overseas and invite people from abroad.

The settlement of a giant-level semiconductor company not only means that it will provide a huge number of jobs, but also means that it will have a cluster effect and scale effect on related local industries.

This time, however, it was different.

The residents living nearby only saw a six-lane road built from the wasteland at an incredible speed, and then trucks with the logos of major companies passed the checkpoint at the fork under the escort of military vehicles. Go inside the industrial base with high walls.

All of this is like an appointment, and all the companies involved in this project are like clockwork gears, turning in an orderly manner under the established order.

Naturally, such a huge movement cannot be hidden from the attention from all over the world.

Regarding Huaguo's big move in the semiconductor field, foreign media have speculated that Huaguo is working with a number of high-tech companies to develop a powerful electronic weapon. Some people also speculate that Huaguo has discovered huge reserves of minerals on the moon, and in order to consolidate their strategic advantages on the moon, they are planning to increase subsidies for domestic semiconductor companies.

There are even more exaggerated rumors that Huaguo has received a signal from aliens and is secretly building a spaceship...

All kinds of rumors are flying all over the sky, and it is difficult to distinguish the true from the false, but no matter what kind of rumors, there will always be his audience.

In any case, this kind of "sports" mass production has pushed Huaguo's semiconductor industry to the forefront...

...

Jinling University School of Materials Science and Engineering.

In the office not far from the stairs, it seemed a bit busy and lively.

A young professor with black-rimmed glasses was sitting on the corner of his desk, directing the students with his right hand to hang up bells and ribbons in the office, and he was very busy.

Rubbing his chin, looking at the half-decorated office, Luo Wenxuan suddenly spoke on a whim.

"I thought we could add a fireplace in that location, but Christmas without a fireplace feels like something is missing."

Hehehehe, the scientific research dog who brought the cardboard box full of decorations in from outside, said with a sad face: "But professor, our budget seems to be a bit insufficient."

"Not enough?" Luo Wenxuan, who was rubbing his chin, frowned, "No, I remember that there should be a lot of research funding left."

Hearing this sentence, the scientific research dogs who were busy in the office burst into sweat.

Renovate the office with research funding...

There was no problem in the past few years, but in the past few years, the investigation has been so strict and he dared to mess around like this, thanks to this guy who figured it out...

At this moment, the door knocked three times, and then was pushed open with a bang.

A pair of eyes in the office looked over in unison, and fell on the person who stepped into the office.

Meeting the gazes of the pair, and then looking at the fancy office, Lu Zhou hesitated for a moment, and finally met Brother Luo again.

After a moment of silence, Lu Zhou put his hand on the doorknob.

"Sorry, I really wanted to go wrong."

Just when Lu Zhou was about to close the door, Luo Wenxuan strode forward and pulled the door that was about to close.

"No, no, you're right, you came at the right time! I'm about to show you my office..." Suddenly, his eyes caught Lu Zhou's notebook under his elbow, from which he could faintly see Luo Wenxuan's eyes lit up with an extraordinary aura, and he immediately asked curiously, "This is?"

"Professor Faltings' notes, which he gave me before he left."

Originally, he came to discuss something with him, but Lu Zhou didn't hide anything.

Opening the notebook in his hand, he quickly found the folded page, showed it to Senior Brother Luo, and said, "The discovery you mentioned to me earlier didn't seem to be accidental, it wasn't just Dyson who noticed Riemann Conjecture has a magical connection with physics, in fact, even Professor Faltings has done some research on this phenomenon."

"Let me see..."

Taking the note over, Luo Wenxuan excitedly looked at the contents of the note line by line, the curiosity on his face was quickly replaced by a touch of shock.

"Unbelievable..." mumbling in his mouth, Luo Wenxuan's eyes seemed to be glued to the notebook, and he said in an excited voice, "Even Professor Faltings thinks that the Riemann Hypothesis can be solved by physical methods." Solved it? Sure enough, my hunch was correct!"

"Correction, Professor Faltings does not think so. My point is that this may work, but it will probably be more difficult than the mathematical method, because we have a random Hermitian matrix Nothing is known about the eigenvalues ​​of , let alone its corresponding quantum system."

Lu Zhou shrugged and continued, "However, what makes me curious is that the pair-correlation function of the non-trivial zero point of the Riemann zeta function is unreasonably related to the pair-correlation function of the eigenvalues ​​of the random Hermitian matrix. Showed a high level of consistency...do you have any good ideas?"

After hearing Lu Zhou's words, Luo Wenxuan fell into deep thought.

After a while, he spoke.

"I don't know, the Riemann zeta function is beyond the scope of my research field... But your statement reminds me of the BGS conjecture. The quantum system described by the random Hermitian matrix corresponds to the classical chaotic system in the classical limit."

The BGS conjecture is also the so-called Bohigas–Giannoni–Schmit conjecture, and its original expression is aimed at the Gauss orthogonal ensemble. As one of the important problems in the field of nuclear physics and theoretical physics, this conjecture has been supported by some numerical calculations, but it has not been rigorously proved so far.

After staring at the contents of the notes and thinking for a long time, Luo Wenxuan looked at Lu Zhou and continued to ask.

"What about you? What do you think might be behind the Riemann Hypothesis?"

"I think it may correspond to a quantum system that we don't understand, which is different from the classical chaotic system we are familiar with...even, through it, maybe we can find something outside the standard model."

Speaking of this, Lu Zhou paused for a moment, and revealed the purpose of today's trip.

"Interested in cooperation?"
