After swallowing a sip of wine, Mochizuki coughed twice and continued expressionlessly.
"I plan to stay here for two months and then go back."
The entire mathematical community was shocked by a paper...
"It sounds very interesting," Schultz said with interest.
"Although I'm very interested, I'm afraid I won't have the chance to help... Or wait until I come back from Mars," Lu Zhou said with a smile, "The second scientific expedition team to Mars is about to set off. During this time, I'm afraid It’s going to be a little busy.”
After having a drink with Lu Zhou and others, Schultz smiled and continued.
It is no exaggeration to say that the moment the four letters LSPM were written on the paper, it was destined to attract worldwide attention after it was published.
"If no one finds particularly serious loopholes, the final version of the paper will be published in the main issue of Future at the end of the year. Of course, if you have other opinions, you can put them forward and we can discuss them together."
Schultz smiled and said, "I don't have any objections. I'll just do what you say."
The four of them continued drinking.
However, because his movements were too stiff, Lu Zhou accidentally caught a glimpse of him.
However, today is clearly not a day to reminisce about the past.
A large pot of grilled fish was put on the table. Lu Zhou raised the cup in his hand and started talking with a smile.
It feels nostalgic to say that although the store's decoration has been renovated several times, the boss is still the same and the taste is still the same. Lu Zhou still remembered that when he was an undergraduate, they took care of the business of this store, and the owner of this store would give them a few bottles of beer from time to time.
Perelman, who was sitting next to him, shrugged and followed suit and told his next plan.
Upon hearing the name Professor Faltings, Mochizuki Shinichi's brows twitched violently, and he quickly reached out to pick up the cup, drinking to cover up the embarrassment on his face.
Lu Zhou only learned these things later.
While the four of them were drinking and getting high, they were sitting at the table and did not realize that a storm had begun to brew due to their research.
Mochizuki Shinichi: "This is not my area of expertise, I'm afraid I can't help."
"Forget it, if they are interested, they can come to the Far East to find me." Pushing up his glasses, Mochizuki Shinichi continued, "I plan to stay here for a while, not because of the need to avoid the limelight, but just about the quantum encryption algorithm. I still have a lot of things I want to study... purely out of personal interest."
It seems that even the elderly people who work in state-owned enterprises in small 18th-tier cities are starting to talk about extraterrestrial civilizations and gossip on Mars as conversation topics.
"… Any questions?"
Now that so many years have passed, the friends have gone their separate ways, and he is the only one who is still staying in the same place, which is sad to think about.
If the time scale is enlarged to a century...
"My project is not over yet. I will stay here until it is over."
Noticing that Mochizuki Shinichi was staring at him intently, he was slightly stunned mid-sentence, couldn't help but stop talking, and said with an embarrassed smile.
After learning about these things, Lu Zhou couldn't help but sigh. The speed of information dissemination in modern society is simply unimaginable. He had just cut off the Internet around him, and he felt like he was not keeping up with the times.
Before this, there had been rumors in the mathematics community that this guy had always been a very cheerful person before entering Princeton. At least half of the reason why he became autistic after graduation was related to Faltings.
For the four people standing here, honor and fame are already secondary things. What's more, compared to the problem of their research, trivial matters such as signing and submitting to a journal are not worth mentioning at all, and they do not need to rely on the influence of the journal itself to make this research result seen by more people. .
In the next few days of compiling the paper, Lu Zhou not only heard students gossiping about the ruins of the Martian civilization and the clues to extraterrestrial civilizations found in the ruins while eating in the cafeteria, but even his father and When he talked on the phone, he asked him in a joking tone if he had any new discoveries.
"cheers!"
In fact, although Lu Zhou, who had just finished seclusion, felt very surprised after learning all this, in fact, there is no sudden problem for the people of the country and the world.
After the preprint of the paper was uploaded, Lu Zhou asked Xiao Ai, who was responsible for helping to operate and maintain the LSPM forum, to open the registration rights for the website. At this point, the topic of ABC conjecture was considered to have come to an end.
Schultz nodded slightly and expressed his gratitude.
Lu Zhou: "I wish you a safe journey."
"It's nothing." After a moment of silence, Mochizuki Shinichi sighed, pushed up his glasses and said, "... Anyway, I plan to stay for a while and wait until you come back."
"Thanks."
"... However, as the old Chinese saying goes, there is no feast that lasts forever. Tomorrow I will go back to the University of Bonn. Professor Faltings has been urging me since a week ago. Now ABC guesses The proof is finally completed, and it’s time for me to go back to continue my courses and research.”
Schultz asked curiously: "Can I ask what the topic is?"
Although Professor Wiles, who once proved Fermat's Last Theorem, spoke very highly of Mochizuki, as Professor Zhang Shouwu, another disciple of Faltings, said, studying or working under that Germanic old man who thinks highly of himself is not a good idea. It is something that tests your mental endurance quite a bit.
"Let's cheers to the conclusion of the LSPM research team!"
Although he has never admitted his identity as Satoshi Nakamoto, in Lu Zhou's view, it makes no difference whether he admits it or not. It seemed that he knew this, so Mochizuki Shinichi did not hide it at all and directly expressed his thoughts.
This slow pace of releasing information not only whets the appetite of other countries, but also gives the international community a buffer time to digest this huge amount of information.
Mochizuki Shinichi: "Me too."
"Of course, Hodge guessed, it's not something worth keeping secret anyway," Professor Perelman continued. "In contrast, it is what I really care about, and I feel that I am very close to the end. , if you have time, you might as well help me."
"This is the most enjoyable experience among all the cooperations I have ever participated in... and it is also the most rewarding. I originally planned to stay here for half a year, but I didn't expect that everything went so smoothly. It's incredible."
Perhaps only a genius like Schultz, who in his opinion is expected to surpass himself, can feel a little kindness or kindness from him.
In addition to celebrating the ending, the theme of the second half also added a farewell to their teammate Schultz.
"The paper has been compiled, and the signature is the L.S.P.M research group. I have uploaded the preprint to Arxiv, and attached a temporary communication page I made myself. The discussion mode is similar to that of BBS, and the name It’s called LSPM. I have sent the administrator’s account and password to your email. If you are interested, you can also read the opinions of other scholars in this field.”
The cheers in unison and the clinking of glasses turned into laughter in the foam of beer. A group of people were eating grilled fish and drinking beer, and they were enjoying themselves.
Even if they randomly find a school magazine to publish their paper, the final result will definitely be that the school magazine is sold out, rather than that no one cares about their results...
Schulz smiled and said: "Is it because of Kyoto University? If you want to wait until the limelight passes before going back, you can go to Germany with me. It is quite interesting there, and many European mathematicians are very interested in you and Your research is of great interest.”
The heated discussion about extraterrestrial civilization continues.
Perelman said nothing, just nodded.
First of all, China did not reveal all the details to the public at once. Instead, it slowly guided the public's attention to the underground of the Hell's Gate Mountains and then to the cave where the ruins were found over a two-week period. , and it was only in the last week that it was characterized as an "artificial structure", which led to the conclusion that it was a relic of Martian civilization.
In order to celebrate the successful conclusion of the LSPM research group, Lu Zhou reserved a table for four people at Wanzhou Grilled Fish at Jindamen Gate. Even people like Mochizuki Shinichi, who have never been interested in group activities, rushed over on time. .
Suddenly, a trace of hidden worry arose for no apparent reason, making him afraid to think deeply.
