Chapter 1115 Temporarily Insert a Piece of News Below

For the world, November 25th is just an ordinary day.

However, for the mathematics community, starting today, this day seems to be given an extraordinary meaning.

The canteen of Jinling University is crowded.

To catch up with the peak meal period just after class, the swarms of students blocked the road in front of the meal pick-up window.

As a member of the Chafan army, Duan Siqi, who had just finished several classes, took a lot of effort to kill him from the crowd with a dinner plate, and walked to sit next to his three roommates.

Today, dormitory 201 is rarely alive. Even Ji Mo, who usually sees the dragon but never sees the end, is sitting here, making him feel like the sun is coming out from the west.

It's just that Brother Ji's contemplative look and the way he didn't even let him rest after eating, I guess I'll have a meal with them at most. After this meal is over, I shouldn't see anyone again for the next half day.

Grabbing the rice in the bowl, Yang Shuang exchanged glances with Wu Di who was sitting next to him, looked at him and asked.

"Brother Ji, how's your project going?"

"It's hard, it's too hard," sighing softly, Ji Mo shook his head and said, "If Lu Shen is still here, you can help us plan what to do next."

"Lu Shen is not here? Is he on a business trip?"

Zimmer shook his head.

"That's not it, it's just closed."

The person in charge of them is Professor Chen Yang, but this Professor Chen doesn't like talking very much, and he rarely communicates with them.

As for Perelman, this guy almost takes the word eccentric to the extreme. If he didn't take the initiative to ask him specific questions, he basically said one word too much.

Thinking of the proposition he was facing, Ji Mo's heart was full of worry.

This was probably the first time he encountered a problem that he couldn't figure out. It was probably the first time that I was troubled by a problem for nearly a month, and I didn't even know how to proceed.

Duan Siqi didn't speak, just gave him an encouraging look.

At this time, the TV screen hanging on the side of the canteen and showing CCTV 4 international news suddenly changed. One second before the camera is still on the shooting case in the United States on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, and the next second it suddenly cuts back to the studio.

Taking a press release from the staff next to him, the host quickly glanced at it, and his expression showed a hint of surprise.

Under the trend of professionalism, he quickly made a judgment, took a deep breath, and started broadcasting the report.

"...A news is temporarily inserted below."

"On November 25, Academician Lu Zhou, a well-known scholar in my country, uploaded a 40-page paper on the academic website Arxiv, demonstrating the unity of algebra and geometry, which caused a huge sensation in the international mathematics community."

"According to the analysis of people familiar with the matter, once the research results are confirmed to be accurate, it will completely change the development of mathematics in the future and have a subversive impact on the research of natural sciences."

"At present, the International Union of Mathematicians has not expressed its opinion on this matter for the time being, and the reporter of this station will keep an eye on it..."

The twice-cooked pork caught on the chopsticks fell back into the bowl. Ji Mo's mouth was wide open and he stared at the TV in a stunned manner.

The same goes for the friends in dormitory 201 who are sitting in front of the dining table. Although their reactions are not as exaggerated as Ji Mo's, their eyes are clearly full of surprise when they look at the TV.

Unify Algebra and Geometry!

The grand unified theory of mathematics!

this kind of thing...

Is it really possible? !

Duan Siqi instinctively thought so.

However, the name of Lu Zhou that appeared in the studio made him unable to raise any doubts at all.

"Grand Unified Theory..." Looking at the stunned Ji Mo, Duan Siqi opened his mouth, swallowed and said, "Isn't this... the thing you studied before?"

Zimmer: "...Yes."

Not actually researching this before.

But have been researching this.

Even just last night, he was frantically brushing his hair for a certain proposition in this subject.

However, I didn't expect...

When he was still frantic about a certain detail in this huge blueprint, he had already seen the completed building in the news...

Thinking of this, Ji Mo couldn't help crying and laughing in his heart.

unacceptable!

He didn't even tell himself!

Although he does not have a high sense of existence, he is also a member of the research group!

Wu Di, who had not spoken all the time, looked at him silently.

"……That you."

With a long sigh, his melancholy eyes seemed to be deceived. Ji Mosheng, who looked up at the ceiling, said reluctantly.

"...It seems that we have nothing to do with us anymore."

In fact, it's not that Lu Zhou didn't tell them.

As soon as this paper was uploaded to Arxiv, Lu Zhou sent emails to several major partners and shared the joy of victory with them.

Just because the news of joy was so shocking that in less than a day, neither Chen Yang nor Professor Perelman had digested the shock, and they didn't even read the paper.

Naturally, no one informed the "basic scientific research workers" of Zimmer and the others about the explosive news.

Almost immediately after the news was broadcast, the discussion of related topics has exploded on the Internet like a erupting volcano.

[Unified Algebra and Geometry? ! (surprised) (surprised)]

【Fuck! Isn't Lu Shen studying the Riemann conjecture? how--】

[Why do some people do scientific research faster than me memorizing words? This is so unfair. (cry) (cry)]

[I am a folk mathematics researcher, and I reported Academician Lu for plagiarizing my research results with my real name. As early as 2012, I realized the mystery of mathematics from the similarities in the way 0 and circle are written. With the help of the wisdom of the ancients, I followed the past and opened up the future to complete the unity of algebra and geometry. Please help me, netizens, send me up, and don't let the deceivers run rampant. (angry) (fist)]

[What does the unity of algebra and geometry mean? Will the textbooks for the nine-year compulsory education be changed again? 】

[In short, he invented an entirely new mathematical framework, linking algebra to the abstract meaning of geometry, so that the two approaches could communicate with each other. This kind of thing has no effect on ordinary people, but if you only solve a quadratic equation in one variable, it is definitely the most useful formula for finding the root. But for us, I'm afraid we've lost a lot of hair during this time... A post-doctoral postdoctoral student in the Department of Mathematics in the UK kneeled before Lu Shen, I beg you to slow down. 】

【roll! Where did the bald man come from, my Lu Shen is so handsome, are you an old man? 】

【…】

Even though most people may not be clear about what the unification of algebra and geometry means, and even the basic knowledge of algebra and geometry is almost returned to the teacher, this does not prevent them from the news that was temporarily broadcast, Share the shock in the heart of the host in the studio.

Almost within half an hour of the news broadcast, the search popularity of related hot words has already entered the hot search list of major media platforms.

Whether you study mathematics or not, you have become a great mathematician at this moment.

Whether it is reliable or unreliable, this moment begins to discuss what the world will look like after the unification of algebra and geometry.

In response to people's hot discussion and concern about this matter, Renren Daily and CCTV set up a scientific talk show, and invited one of the leading figures in the mathematics field in China today, academician Xiang Huanan, as a guest of the show.

Looking at the gray-haired old man, the host said respectfully.

"Hello, Academician, thank you very much for taking time out of your busy schedule to participate in our program."

Academician Xiang Huanan smiled, leaning on the sofa, he continued speaking in an easy-going tone.

"I'm not busy. I don't have much to do when I'm old. If you have any questions, just ask me directly."

After a few simple greetings, the host quickly brought the topic to the point.

"...Recently, a major event has occurred in the mathematical world. Our academician Lu uploaded a paper on Arxiv to demonstrate the unity of algebra and geometry. Many of our audiences are particularly concerned. This paper will give us What kind of impact will it bring to the future and life? Can you answer it for us?”

Hearing this, Academician Xiang smiled and said.

"Actually, there are still some deviations in the media reports. What Academician Lu does is not entirely to demonstrate the unity of algebra and geometry, but to build a bridge between the two."

Moderator: "Bridge?"

"Yes," Academician Xiang nodded and said in plain language, "Just like this cup full of water on our table, it can be used for drinking or watering flowers."

Moderator: "This example is a bit abstract."

Xiang Huanan Academician: "So there is no need for ordinary people to understand this thing. The unity of algebra and geometry is itself a unity in an abstract sense. It does not mean that these two things have become the same thing. When necessary, we can transform algebraic problems into geometrical problems, and we can also study geometrical problems with the method of studying algebra."

The host: "...So that's the case. Maybe my understanding is not enough, or I didn't hear it very clearly. That is to say, it will not have any impact on the lives of ordinary people. Is that what you mean?"

"That's what it means," Xiang Huanan academician nodded, "only when our theoreticians, or scholars who study applied disciplines, solve a certain technical problem or complete some invention through these methods, can ordinary people learn from Changes brought about by scientific progress are felt in the results.”

"I heard that you and Academician Lu know each other privately?"

"It's more than just knowing," Academician Xiang patted his thigh and said with a laugh, "They almost became my students! Oh, unfortunately, I didn't insist at the beginning, and let that guy be kidnapped by the old man Lu Jianshen. He studied physics for a year. Fortunately, he got lost in time and returned to mathematics."

"It can't be said that studying physics is going astray," the host said with a smile. "Although there is no outstanding work in the fields of mathematics and computational materials science, Academician Lu's achievements in physics are also very good."

"You don't understand," Xiang Huanan waved his hand unceremoniously and said with a smile, "so far, his achievements in physics can basically be attributed to his achievements in mathematics. The most prominent of which is probably The existence of solutions to the Young Mills equation and the unified theory of strong electricity, the former we all know is the Millennium Problem, the latter is just an extension of the former."

Although this statement is a bit of a rogue, it is actually true.

Who wants the 750Gev characteristic peak signal Lu Zhou discovered at the CERN summit to make an oolong?

Although the entire high-energy physics community has been busy for a whole year, it is a pity that nothing has been busy.

Seeing that Academician Xiang had begun to talk about something difficult to understand, the host quickly shifted the topic from the academic field to Lu Zhou's personal life.

"You mentioned just now that Academician Lu almost became your student before. Our audience is very curious about what happened in Academician Lu's student days. Can you talk about that time?"

Hearing this sentence, Academician Xiang's narrowed eyes gradually became stained with a hint of memory.

"That's a long story..."
