Chapter 1022 Blood

He opened his eyes sharply.

Lu Zhou, who was lying flat, suddenly bounced off the bed, his chest heaving violently, panting heavily.

It wasn't until then that he realized that the clothes behind him had been soaked with sticky sweat...

Rubbing his sore brows, Lu Zhou, who got out of bed, went to the refrigerator to get a bottle of water and took a sip, so that his mood stabilized a little.

Although it is what happened in the world of consciousness, although there is no such thing as ghosts and monsters there.

But maybe it's because it's too realistic, the feeling of being stuffed with a memory that doesn't belong to this world is not good at all.

just like……

Walking to the floor-to-ceiling window, he stared at the lively and bustling night scene in the distance for a long time, until the bottle of mineral water in his hand no longer felt cool, he turned and left the window.

"simply……"

"It was like a nightmare."

Went to the bathroom for a shower.

After changing into fresh clothes, Lu Zhou returned to the computer desk and sat down.

It took him about a minute to go back to the system space and check it carefully. The pure white space had not changed because of the said to be rare "Void Memory a".

However, the ominous purple sample in the inventory disappeared.

As if it never existed.

Back in reality, Lu Zhou thought for a moment, opened the memo, and typed a few lines on it.

[What are those black obelisks? 】

[If computers, who do they belong to? 】

【What are you calculating? 】

In addition, there are those golden cubes soaked in the bottom of the pool. If he remembered correctly, those things should be the "Wreck No. 2" before being scorched.

But this is not in a hurry. When he goes back, he will naturally combine what he has seen and heard in his memory, and try to study the wreckage No. 2, what is hidden in the wreck that he has not yet discovered.

Recording these three questions on the memo, Lu Zhou pondered on the screen for a moment, and finally set a password for it.

Although this kind of bizarre dream is told to others, most of it will not be taken seriously.

However, be careful.

...

the next day.

Vera's 45-minute report session started, and the venue was arranged by the organizing committee of the conference in the No. 7 lecture hall.

The lecture hall was quite lively.

Many people are curious about this female Fields Medal winner.

After all, while female physicists and chemists are not uncommon, female mathematicians are quite rare.

In particular, there are very few scholars who can make top-notch results.

What's more, she is still a talented woman with both knowledge and beauty, which is not enough to describe a cherished species.

Even many scholars who did not pay attention to analytic number theory and Riemann zeta function originally appeared at the scene of the report.

Lu Zhou, who arrived at the venue ten minutes early, looked around and almost didn't find the location. It was not until Schultz, who was sitting near the middle of the field, waved to him, that Lu Zhou walked over.

"This position was originally occupied for my old friend Aksai, but this report happened to conflict with a 45-minute report on his research direction."

Lu Zhou: "Thank you."

Schultz said with a smile.

"You're welcome."

While yawning, Lu Zhou reached out and picked up the paper on the table and flipped through a few pages.

He didn't sleep well last night.

Up to now, my brain has been a mess, now it is the metal-paved city, now it is the towering black obelisk, now it is the black space filled with blades, and now it is the liquid helium like an altar pool...

Schultz: "You didn't sleep well last night."

Lu Zhou: "Yes."

Schultz: "Stay up late?"

"Forget it," seems to think that his answer was a little too indifferent, Lu Zhou paused for a while, and said, "Had a long nightmare."

Schultz asked curiously, "What did you dream about?"

Lu Zhou: "...It's probably about the future."

Schultz raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are you sure it was a nightmare?"

Lu Zhou: "It should be...Although I'm not sure if that's the future of mankind...I mean, I'm not sure if it's a scene I've seen in any sci-fi blockbuster before. But in short, that kind of dead silence It really doesn't feel good."

""I am a legend"?"

"Haha, maybe, but that's an old movie."

Shrugging his shoulders, Schultz made an exaggerated expression on his face, jokingly said: "That's really sad, even the greatest scientist of this century has a pessimistic view of our future, it seems that I You have to consider buying more insurance for yourself.”

Lu Zhou smiled and shook his head.

"This joke is not funny at all."

Schultz smiled and said, "But aren't you laughing?"

Lu Zhou: "That's because the first thing you thought of was buying insurance... What bad things happened when you took 10,000 steps back. Who are you going to ask to pay for your insurance policy?"

Schultz squeezed his chin and said after a little thought.

"That's a problem."

The two were talking, and the report meeting had already begun.

Vera, who was standing on the stage, looked a little thin, and looked inexplicably a little distressed. And I don't know if it's his own illusion, Lu Zhou always feels that her complexion is not particularly good.

However, these things can wait until the end of the report to find out.

Now that the report meeting has started, of course, it is still mainly about academic matters.

And this is the least respect for the reporter.

For the time being, not thinking about anything unrelated to academics, Lu Zhou took a deep breath and focused his attention on the paper in his hand.

This time was so busy that after the uploader revised the manuscript a few times, he almost forgot to read the final manuscript before the presentation began.

However, it doesn't matter to him either.

Anyway, at his level, many things are just a matter of glance, and there is no delay at all.

"Supplement to the hyperelliptic curve analysis method?" After reading the summary, Lu Zhou raised his eyebrows slightly with interest, "It's interesting."

To put it simply, Vera continued the problem-solving idea he took on the theoretical tool of "hyperelliptic curve analysis", but in the key step of "introducing the Plancherel formula to the Heisenberg group", it was done through another method. A more ingenious method makes the theoretical tool of "hyperelliptic curve analysis" show stronger operability on the connected one-dimensional complex manifold of Riemann surface.

It is difficult to explain the mystery in simple language and elementary mathematics, but in short, this operation not only caught the attention of all the audience in an instant, but even Lu Zhou couldn't help but stunned.

It even made him have an urge to go back to the hotel room immediately and start retreating for research.

Of course, Lu Zhou just thought about it.

If he really did, he would definitely not be able to do it.

If nothing else, Vera was still talking on stage right now.

After finally standing on this podium facing the entire mathematics community, if he, the "Master", suddenly leaves the stage halfway, he is not sure whether the little girl on the stage will cry...

Listening to what Vera said on the stage, Schultz, who was sitting next to him with his arms crossed, suddenly sighed and said.

"To be honest, sometimes I really envy you."

Lu Zhou's eyes didn't take his eyes off the podium, he just replied casually.

"...What do you envy me for?"

"There is a good apprentice who is smart and obedient. Whenever you propose a novel theory or invent a new gadget, she can help you make it more perfect."

Lu Zhou smiled and did not answer the question.

However, at this moment, an accident happened.

Vera, who was speaking on the stage, suddenly coughed violently.

"……Feel sorry."

She put her right hand on her lips and said apologetically, sorry. Vera was about to continue her lecture, but just as she was facing the whiteboard and was about to speak again, the voice that had just reached the tip of her throat, but it was again. It was interrupted by a violent cough.

Bean-sized sweat dripped all over her forehead, Vera, who was holding the whiteboard, turned pale.

Noticing the situation here, the staff walked to the front of the stage hesitantly.

"Miss Puyuyi, the report will be here for the time being, if you feel unwell-"

"No, let me finish!"

The right fist pressed against his lips clenched tightly, and his sapphire pupil flashed a brief moment of confusion, but it was quickly washed away by the burning courage.

From the moment she started getting sick a year ago, she knew that she didn't have much time.

It's not easy, she's already here...

Startled by the momentum, the staff subconsciously stopped, and after a moment of hesitation, retreated.

And Vera, who was standing on the stage, had already looked at the whiteboard again.

Thinking has never been clearer.

Gritting her teeth, she raised her right hand again and quickly wrote down a line of calculations on the whiteboard.

Because of the pain and anxiety in her heart, the numbers and symbols printed on the whiteboard had been distorted, but the galloping strokes of the pen and the rushing thoughts in her mind still did not stop.

Not only the things that have been mentioned in the paper, but also the contents of a blueprint that was only vague to abstract in her mind, she wrote them all together on the whiteboard.

Time and space were left behind, and the pain that ripped through his chest seemed to disappear.

It is said that when a person's physical condition is approaching the limit, the body will allocate all its functions to the brain to ensure that important information can be left at the last moment.

However, she had no time to think about it.

Not for the successor in the math world, or for the person she admires...

If this is the last report meeting in her life...

At least……

She intends to make it the best she can with no regrets!

Finally, with the support of that obsession, she wrote the last stroke.

Looking at the filled whiteboard, she stepped back half a step, and a faint smile was drawn on the corner of her lips.

Although it still hasn't reached the end of the maze...

But believe...

These things should be able to help later people.

Especially his words.

Suddenly, consciousness was in a trance.

Reaching out her right hand subconsciously, she held the white board next to her, but she didn't expect to wipe the blood she coughed up earlier.

Blood!

Under the originally silent stage, an uproar and commotion sounded.

Oops……

Seeing the red trace, Vera sighed inwardly.

Although it is a miracle to be able to persist until after half a year, but I didn't expect it to be this day...

The days of happiness and sadness seem to have come together.

Legs gradually lost strength.

Before her consciousness fell to the ground, she saw in the last corner of her vision that the familiar figure rushed towards her from the stage at an incredible speed.

Suddenly she felt...

There seems to be nothing to regret.
