Scholar's Advanced Technological System

In fact, strictly speaking, Lu Zhou’s research direction wasn’t regarding the transcendental values of the Riemann zeta function at odd positive integers. The Riemann hypothesis had little to do with transcendental numbers.

However, having said that, things in mathematics were often linked in unexpected ways.

Lu Zhou didn’t expect Han Mengqi’s research to be useful for him.

She was assigned to conduct research in this area because his research was regarding the Riemann zeta function. If she ever ran into any trouble, he could easily help her.

As for the other less important reason, it was because he hoped he could be inspired while guiding her.

After Lu Zhou assigned the research project, he and Han Mengqi talked about some housekeeping matters. Matters related to compensation and expectations.

Even though this chick’s family was loaded, he still had to go through the normal procedures.

Lu Zhou had the habit of taking care of every single one of his students.

After Lu Zhou explained all of the relevant details to Han Mengqi, he told her to take the day off. They would go through the formal process tomorrow and register at the Academic Affairs office. She would also come report at his office tomorrow.

Han Mengqi, who was full of joy, happily left the office. Lu Zhou called Wang Peng and told him to bring the car to the mathematics department. He wanted to go to the Institute for Advanced Study.

Suddenly, his office door was pushed open, and He Changwen walked in while chewing on a pork bun.

He looked at the blackboard and paused for a second. He nearly dropped his bun.

“Boss, you… are researching the transcendental values of the Riemann zeta function at odd positive integers?”

Lu Zhou had only just solved the Quasi Riemann hypothesis, and there was now another world-class mathematics problem on his blackboard.

Even though this problem wasn’t as nutty as the Riemann hypothesis, anything related to Riemann zeta function was considered a world-class problem.

He was ready for Lu Zhou to say “yes”.

However, Lu Zhou didn’t nod his head.

“This isn’t my research, I assigned that to student Han. Oh yeah, by the way, she’s going to be your PhD classmate now… Is that fine?”

He Changwen looked at Lu Zhou angrily.

Lu Zhou thought back to what he said. He didn’t think he said anything wrong.

“Nothing.”

He Changwen shook his head with an angry look.

Damn it!

I’ve been with you for three years, yet you’ve never assigned me such a big project!

I mean, I wouldn’t have contributed to the Quasi Riemann hypothesis anyway…

But you’re already assigning this new chick such a big research project.

This is so unfair!

He Changwen began to look even angrier.

Lu Zhou: “…?”

…

Because there was still a system reward waiting for him to “unbox”, Lu Zhou didn’t stay for long at work. He decided to leave early.

He didn’t have to wait for long before his Electric Purple car was parked at the mathematics department building.

Lu Zhou saw his beloved car and sighed in relief.

Thank God he didn’t make too many modifications to my baby car.

At least it looks somewhat the same.

Wang Peng walked up and helped him open the door. Lu Zhou asked curiously, “What did you change?”

“We changed the class, the car frame was also replaced with reinforced steel. We then repainted it and coated it with carbon fiber. The weight might have increased, the acceleration might be slightly lower, same with the horsepower. But the rest should be the same.” Wang Peng happily slapped the roof of the car and said, “I told you, I wouldn’t destroy your precious car.”

Lu Zhou: “I’m curious, what’s the point of modifying it?”

Wang Peng: “It makes a big difference. Before, if this thing were hit by a truck, we would be screwed.”

Lu Zhou: “What about now?”

Wang Peng replied calmly, “The truck would be the one that’s screwed.”

Lu Zhou: “…”

I guess it’s better to be safe than sorry.

I wonder if we can test it with a truck…

While Lu Zhou was getting in his car, two female students walked out of the library and walked past the mathematics department building. They noticed the cool looking sports car and spoke to one another.

“Yo, look over there… That’s God Lu’s car, right?”

The girl with bangs excitedly looked toward the car.

“I think so… I remember he used to drive a boring sedan, right?”

“Maybe he changed his car after becoming an academician?”

“Maybe! But I heard he has his own company, so he might have bought it himself?”

“I think God Lu doesn’t have a girlfriend…”

The two female students went silent for a second.

Two seconds went by, and the girl with bangs exclaimed, “Sigh, actually money isn’t important, I just like guys who are good at mathematics. They’re so intellectually charming.”

Her friend replied, “Forget about it. There are plenty of smart boys doing mathematics, yet I don’t see you going out with any of them?”

While the two students were joking around, the Electric Purple car already drove away.

They suddenly realized that they had forgotten to take a photo and post it on their friends’ news feed…

…

The Jinling Institute for Advanced Study was close to Jin Ling University, and the drive took less than ten minutes.

After they arrived at the institute, Wang Peng registered the vehicle while Lu Zhou went straight to the main building of the institute. He took the elevator and went directly to the third floor underground laboratory.

This was his secret warehouse. It was mainly used to store Xiao Ai’s main server, as well as some samples and debris from the system.

Lu Zhou walked to the center of the laboratory and closed his eyes. He extended his right hand and entered into the system space. He went into his inventory and clicked the item.

When he opened his eyes again, light blue particles began to fly around him, and the particles slowly gathered together and formed an object.

When the blue light disappeared, a black metal box was sitting in front of Lu Zhou.

[“Transcendence” X-1 computer, a medium-sized industrial quantum computer with an integrated quantum chip, used for server software… Note: Due to intellectual property laws, this device has anti-engineering protection and cannot be disassembled or scanned. Any unauthorized use will lead to unpredictable consequences.]

It’s a quantum computer!

After reading the translucent dialog box in front of him, Lu Zhou’s heart skipped a beat.

However, after reading the last sentence, his heart rate calmed down.

F*ck sake!

What do you mean I can’t disassemble or scan it?

So I can’t use my scanner gun then?

Lu Zhou was curious what would happen if he accidentally broke the computer, who would fix it for him?

Maybe this is just for experimentation?

But then again, if this is truly industrial grade, it should last me for more than a decade.

Lu Zhou was wondering how to connect this computer to a power supply when the quad-rotor drone flew over.

[Master, can you give it to Xiao Ai?
