Although this kind of thing is not something they should worry about, this sentence seems to be on point.
"I thought you would be happy."
"It doesn't matter when it was solved," Dean Qin said earnestly, looking at his students, "The key is that he hopes to see us solve it."
"You mean... he has solved the generalized Riemann Hypothesis?"
…
"That's right," Li Guangya sighed, "It would have been better if it had happened a century earlier."
Sitting at the coffee table not far away, Professor Sun Jingwen put down the coffee cup in his hand, looked at Academician Qin Chuan, the dean of the Institute of Science and Technology, who was sitting opposite, and asked casually.
As we were chatting about this topic, it naturally came to Academician Lu, a prominent figure in the school.
Wu Shuhua: "...?"
"I didn't mention it...what's wrong?"
"Do you still remember the flaws he found in your study of the zero-point distribution of the Dirichlet L function written on the blackboard in your class?"
The few people drinking coffee fell into silence.
Although he understood Li Guangya's intention to delegate power to himself, Lu Zhou, as the general consultant of the entire project, still felt a great deal of pressure as so much work was placed on him.
"Science is inherently a step-by-step process. From quantitative change to qualitative change, it takes time to accumulate, so there is no need to belittle oneself," another professor sighed and said, "But what you said is true. The more in-depth the research, the more I feel, Whether it is mathematics or physics, we may have reached the edge. If we want to make another breakthrough, I am afraid that we will only be able to do it after we step outside the solar system and gain a new understanding of the universe. "
"Speaking of which, have you heard that Academician Lu seems to have graduated from the preparatory course."
Jinling University, in the coffee shop of the Laboratory Building of the School of Mathematics, several mathematics professors are sitting here, drinking coffee and chatting about gossip inside and outside the school.
"But... when was it? Could it have been during the 100 years since it was frozen? Impossible... there was no consciousness when it was frozen."
"what idea… "
Dean Qin said with a smile.
"Happy? Of course I'm happy," Li Guangya looked away from the car window and looked at her strangely, "Why do you ask that?"
Lu Zhou originally had a bit of luck in his heart, that is, the troubles faced by the space elevator project were really just like what Chairman Li Guangya said, it was just that everything was difficult at the beginning.
Especially the last suggestion was so appealing to him.
A slightly fatter math professor who had been silent pushed his glasses slightly and said in an emotional voice.
Qin Chuan gave his apprentice a strange look and replied.
"It's just a pity... His mind is not on mathematics at all now."
"Our Academician Lu is really amazing... He did something big in less than a year after he woke up. He developed the second-generation controllable nuclear fusion, and immediately launched the space elevator project to build a vertical elevator with a vertical length of more than 36,000 kilometers. Kilometers of track. If someone told me this, I'd probably think they were talking in their sleep."
"A long time ago, I saw a memoir written by Professor Perelman. I remember clearly that he once wrote this in his memoir."
"Sentimental?"
Wu Shuhua lightly shrugged her shoulders and said in a casual tone.
"It's nothing, I just have some academic questions. I wanted to ask him for advice, but I couldn't find the opportunity." The expression on his face was a little hesitant. After a moment of silence, Sun Jingwen continued, "You said... he can also Come back to study mathematics?”
"I've heard about it, I've heard about it a long time ago, haha," a professor said with a smile, "I think it's funny when I talk about it. It's not good to give preparatory courses to anyone. Isn't it unnecessary to give it to Academician Lu?"
He is worthy of being from that era.
After leaving the research institute, Li Guangya, who was sitting in the car, suddenly looked out the window with a little melancholy.
However, the news has not been verified after all. When asked at a regular press conference, the spokesperson also stated that he had no knowledge of this and reiterated that the Pacific Ocean is the common property of all mankind.
After retelling the original text of the autobiography, Qin Chuan looked at his student who was deep in thought, smiled softly and said.
Now that the problem of site selection has been solved, it is back to the design of the space elevator. Now not only the design of the space elevator, but also the Penglai City project has been included in the space elevator project team.
If ordinary people were exposed to such a shortcoming, most of them would have an embarrassed expression on their face, or even feel ashamed. However, Professor Sun Jingwen just fell into deep thought and nodded after a long time.
As soon as this news spread, it immediately caused a lot of controversy on the Internet.
Although they were a little confused as to why the official spokesperson of Pan-Asian Cooperation emphasized this point again and again, the senior leaders of the major regional alliances were somewhat relieved to see his resolute statement.
"I'm afraid only he himself knows about this problem," Dean Qin smiled, looking out the window at the students returning to their dormitories after class in twos and threes, and continued in a relaxed tone, "I was actually quite obsessed with this matter before. I have been trying my best to persuade him to return to the Institute of Science and Technology and use his good years to solve some of the world's problems. But after being in contact with him for a period of time, I roughly understood a little bit of his thoughts."
The professor asked: "There are only a few people who can transcend their own times. Without Academician Lu, would we still be able to make breakthroughs?"
"What do you think? After all, he is a man who stood at the pinnacle of human intelligence a century ago."
Noticing this inadvertently, Wu Shuhua asked casually.
"... That was when we had just entered the tortuous and abstract maze of Hodge's conjecture. My collaborators, Professor Chen and Professor Ji, and I invariably fell into a dilemma in understanding abstract things. It was different from the Poincaré conjecture. , its requirements for abstract geometry exceeded our imagination, so that I fell into pain and couldn't extricate myself. I once tried to ask him for help, but he did not answer my question directly, but gave me a meaningful look."
"...I seem to understand."
"He expected progress in mathematics more than anyone else, but what he expected may be a little further than what we expect."
"You can't say that. Although his academic achievements and talents are obvious to all, there is a century between now and the past, and many things are different from before. He is willing to take the initiative to understand the rules of this era. What do you think? It’s all a good thing.”
In recent days, a piece of news has suddenly spread on the Internet, saying that Pan-Asian Cooperation plans to build a city on the high seas to serve as an anchorage for the space elevator.
Some people said it was a great job, while others shook their heads and sighed, saying it was damaging to the international image of pan-Asian cooperation.
Unexpectedly, the reality is that one trouble is just the beginning of another trouble.
"Perhaps it was just an illusion. At that time, I had a vague feeling that he might have already known the answer, just to leave this treasure to those who have not yet set foot in the same field as him. I had made up my mind to wait until he came from After returning from Mars, I must find out the answer to this proposition from him. It was not until the bad news came from Mars that I gave up the idea of turning to him for help... "
Having said this, all the professors sighed again, sighing at the choice of this once-in-a-century genius.
"Has Academician Lu said when he will return to school to teach?"
Li Guangya smiled and shook his head and said, "I mean, it would be great if I could have been born a century earlier, in that magnificent era."
"Heavy? It's not that serious, it's just a bit...sentimental."
"Eighty percent yes."
"I don't deny that," the professor said with emotion, perhaps thinking of something, "but I didn't expect that after a century, he would still be able to teach mathematics to our students as before when he woke up. Even publishing papers in cutting-edge research fields... It feels like we have made no progress at all in the past 100 years."
At this moment, Sun Jingwen's expressionless face finally showed a trace of emotion.
"You are a bit too pessimistic." Looking at him in surprise, the professor sitting opposite took a sip of coffee and continued, "I don't feel the boundary you mentioned. There are so many things that can be studied. There are too many to list... For example, the recent second-generation controllable fusion, isn't it an epoch-making breakthrough?"
There was a hint of approval in his eyes. Dean Qin looked at him and sighed softly.
"The greatness of one person cannot make the entire discipline prosper unless he is willing to share his greatness with others. I think this may be because he did not directly solve the generalized Riemann Hypothesis, but chose to add to your argument. The reason for the guidance.”
"...Sorry, I don't quite understand what you are talking about."
"I don't know, maybe it's your expression that makes the air heavier."
