129: Sub-journal of 12ure! Experience +12000!

Zhao Yang tapped away at his thesis on the computer.

Taiwan Novel Network accompanies you in your leisure, waiting for you to find it.

In the familiar and warm environment of home, Zhao Yang's mind was very relaxed. Despite being relaxed, his focus was exceptionally concentrated, making his study and work efficiency very high.

After staying at home for three days, Zhao Yang had a very pleasant time.

Every morning, he still persisted in practicing boxing. Because it was in the community park, it drew quite a crowd of elderly onlookers. During the day, he accompanied his parents to buy New Year's goods, and at night, he wrote his thesis.

This evening, Zhao Yang was writing the introduction section of his thesis.

Suddenly, his phone vibrated.

It was a text message from Professor Professor Gu Ming.

[Little Zhao, are you asleep? I have good news for you! Our lab's paper on 'Directed Evolution of Thermostable DNA Polymerase' has been accepted by Nature Biotechnology! It will be published next month!]

The corners of Zhao Yang's mouth curled up.

It finally came.

This was the result of him using Super Vision to help the lab screen for key mutant strains, providing crucial data for the experiment!

Although he was only listed as the second author, for an undergraduate to publish in a Nature sub-journal, the prestige was still extremely high.

"Ding! Detected User's participation and signature in a paper published in a Zone 1 journal."

"Ding! Congratulations to the User for obtaining +12,000 Biology experience! Random draw attempts +1!"

Twelve thousand experience!

Zhao Yang glanced at his attribute panel. His Biology level instantly surged from halfway through LV3 to a much higher point.

"Not bad. Although it can't compare to that math paper, it's still very good. The prestige of a Nature sub-journal is quite respectable!"

Zhao Yang was very satisfied. This proved that his previous strategy was completely feasible.

The system's judgment on paper authorship should be comprehensive, including the role he played in the paper and his overall contribution.

"Draw!"

Since he had nothing else to do, Zhao Yang directly used that draw opportunity.

"Ding! Congratulations to the User for obtaining a special skill: Deep Sleep (Passive)."

"[Deep Sleep]: No matter how noisy the environment, the User can quickly enter a Deep Sleep state after falling asleep, increasing sleep efficiency by 200%. Only 4 hours of sleep per day are needed to restore full energy for the day."

Zhao Yang's eyes lit up.

A very good skill!

For someone like him who had to do scientific research and trade stocks—especially us stocks—this was simply the most practical skill!

With this, plus the energy potion, he would truly be a tireless perpetual motion machine.

How comfortable!

And at the same time.

On the other side of the ocean in the United States, at the Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton.

Professor Enrico Bombieri had just received an email from Terence Tao.

It was an in-depth analysis regarding Zhao Yang's preprint paper.

"Enrico, look at this paragraph."

Terence Tao wrote in the email, "This young man seems to have deliberately avoided a more direct method when handling the remainder terms. I have an intuition that he holds some more powerful tool in his hands, or rather... he has already seen the finish line and is just testing the waters."

Bombieri put down the printout and looked at the snowy New Jersey landscape outside the window, murmuring to himself:

"An eighteen-year-old Chinese youth..."

"If he has truly taken that step, then the history of the mathematical world is about to be rewritten."

"Perhaps I should give him a call?"

A hint of hesitation appeared in Professor Bombieri's eyes.

After thinking for a moment, Professor Bombieri shook his head and set the idea aside for the time being.

Although he was very interested in this paper and its author,

he still suppressed the curiosity in his heart.

Calling to ask now would be a bit too abrupt. Having read the paper and combined it with Terence Tao's email, he also felt that this young man named Zhao Yang

should have some other things that he would release sooner or later!

Calling to ask now would instead seem like he was trying to pry information from someone else. Professor Bombieri still understood these basic social graces.

He logged into arXiv and followed Zhao Yang's account.

He was looking forward to Zhao Yang releasing a paper with enough weight sooner or later. Although this paper provided a very good line of thought,

and was indeed very interesting, in terms of results, it wasn't considered a breakthrough progress.

Shortly after Professor Bombieri followed Zhao Yang on arXiv,

some master's and Doctoral Students who always monitored the accounts of top mathematicians also noticed this.

It quickly spread within academic circles.

"Holy crap! Professor Bombieri followed Zhao Yang's arXiv account! That's impressive!"

"I could understand Professor Terence Tao getting involved last time; after all, Tao has always been paying attention to every little breakthrough at the academic frontier.

It was perfectly normal for this paper to be noticed by him. I also read that paper, and it didn't seem to have anything too special! It was only published in an SCI Zone 2 journal, which isn't any particularly special mathematical progress. I didn't expect Professor Bombieri to follow him this time too? Could there be something about this paper I missed?"

"Indeed, I also read through this paper as soon as Tao recommended it. It felt alright? It's a decent idea in the field of twin primes, but it shouldn't be at the level to attract such big shots!"

"I need to go over this paper again!"

...

Bombieri's involvement caused quite a stir online, and many people were full of curiosity regarding Zhao Yang's paper.

Zhao Yang didn't pay much attention to the math circles. To be honest, the habit of posting preprints on arXiv was something he developed in his previous life from watching his professor.

He didn't really know the math circles.

During his time at home, besides organizing his twin prime paper and studying it deeply every day, Zhao Yang also traded stocks.

That's right, ever since he made money from trading stocks, he was still willing to operate them. Of course, he only sold a small portion of his holdings to perform short-term trades.

He basically didn't touch the domestic stock market; it was mainly us stocks.

It was just too exciting.

And because it was a T+0 model, operations were swift. Plus, Zhao Yang was a reincarnator, so he knew about some major events and had a certain degree of foresight.

Although there were still risks in operating, those risks had already been greatly reduced.

He lived this kind of life at home for over ten days.

On the twenty-sixth day of the twelfth lunar month, just after the Preliminary New Year.

Zhao Yang was in the study deriving an auxiliary formula regarding prime gaps. Occasionally, the sound of sparse firecrackers came from outside the window, and the air was filled with the unique smell of gunpowder from the New Year.

The phone vibrated at the corner of the desk, the name 'Old Huang' jumping on the screen.

Zhao Yang put down his pen, a nostalgic smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

Old Huang, Huang Jianguo, was his homeroom teacher in his third year of high school.

A balding middle-aged man who taught Physics, he had a very good temper and was genuinely good to his students. Almost everyone in the class liked him, and they all affectionately called him Old Huang.

Even though Zhao Yang himself had a rather solitary personality, he still felt a lot of warmth from Old Huang.

In his previous life, when Zhao Yang was at his lowest after failing the postgraduate entrance exam, he ran into Old Huang in his hometown. Old Huang had insisted on dragging him to his house for a drink and comforted him for a long time.
