Chapter 1127

Leaving the task of exploring empty memories to a certain "middle-aged Internet addict", Lu Zhou, who was freed from the infinite loop of rushing to the street, felt refreshed for a while.

Although I really want to know about that Professor Ryan, the "Oracle", and what kind of physical experiment is enough to affect the fate of the entire Jialan Empire, but Lu Zhou also knows in his heart that this kind of thing is not urgent. of.

What's more, in another week, another physical experiment that is equally important to human civilization is waiting for him.

In the early morning of the next day, Lu Zhou asked Wang Peng to drive him to the teaching staff compound, and went to Old Tang's house to hang out.

He went upstairs and knocked on the door. When he saw Lu Zhou appearing at his door, Old Tang opened the door with a surprised expression on his face. He obviously didn't expect Lu Zhou to come to the door in person.

"Why are you here? Didn't I ask you to make a call?"

Lu Zhou said with a smile, "How dare I call you to come over."

Lu Zhou still respects his former mentor.

If he hadn't met Old Tang back then, he might have been able to rise to the top just as well, but his journey would definitely not be as smooth as it is now.

Maybe that little help is nothing to his current status, even the old man has been far behind him academically, but until today he is still very grateful to Professor Tang for his previous guidance.

"You are too polite...come in and sit down first," Old Tang said dumbfoundedly looking at Lu Zhou standing at the door, "...I am an old man who has nothing to do every day. If you don’t give me this opportunity even if you go around the place, what time do you think you will save me? Why don’t you read two more papers and give advice to two students when you have time? It’s better than wasting time on me.”

"It's not so polite, it just happens to be on the way, and even if this time is saved, it may not be enough to read two papers," Lu Zhou said with a smile as he entered the door and changed into slippers, "Speaking of it, What the hell was that... you said yesterday?"

Old Tang smiled embarrassedly.

"Well, the thing is actually like this. Anyway, you sit down first, I'll pour you a cup of tea, and talk to you slowly..."

With a cup of tea, Old Tang told Lu Zhou the whole story.

Jing Jing finished listening to Old Tang's words, and when he learned that this was the case, Lu Zhou suddenly had a dumbfounding expression on his face.

Sure enough, he really guessed it right.

Old Tang's tone on the phone was so mysterious that he guessed at the time that there must be some trouble waiting for him.

"... Is it necessary to publish a book? Isn't this something you only do when you are fifty or sixty years old?"

"Of course it is necessary! If we don't grasp this opportunity, we can't let others grasp it," the tone was a little excited, and Old Tang was deeply afraid that Lu Zhou would not be happy, so he persuaded him earnestly, "Besides, I don't need you With too much effort, publishing this kind of professional books is usually not done by one person! I discussed with Lao Qin that when the time comes, we will organize a group of young scholars with excellent academic ability from the School of Mathematics to help you complete this this book."

"As long as you don't delay your own work, you can check as much as possible academically! It won't be too much trouble!"

In fact, Lu Zhou has no obsession with how knowledge is passed on, and he is not even interested in creating a school under his own name.

When doing research, having fun is the most important thing.

If it can bring some valuable changes to the society, it is naturally a fall. Moreover, usually when a person creates enough value, the society will not treat him badly.

As for the others, they are actually secondary.

However, although his thoughts were like this, after thinking about what Old Tang said carefully, Lu Zhou felt that there seemed to be some truth.

This opportunity is indeed dispensable to him. As far as his achievements in mathematics are concerned, he is already unprecedented. Whether there will be future mathematicians will depend on whether the future mathematicians work hard enough. Adding an academic work that has been handed down for generations seems to be dispensable.

But as Old Tang said, although it is meaningless to him personally, this is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the Department of Mathematics of Jinling University.

It's hard to say, this book will change the future destiny of a group of people.

And in the distant future, these people will spread his theory and influence more people.

After leaving Old Tang, Lu Zhou returned to Jinling University.

Along the way, he has been thinking about how to start writing this academic work, and how to assign jobs to the young scholars that Dean Qin helped him find.

It so happened that at this moment, Lu Zhou, who had just walked downstairs to the laboratory of several institutes, met Chen Yang who was about to go upstairs.

With a sudden movement in his heart, Lu Zhou thought of a good idea, and walked up to say hello with a smile.

"Morning, what are you up to?"

"Just came back from the cafeteria," Chen Yang, who stopped on the stairs and waited for a while, watched him catch up from behind, and started to climb the stairs again, asked casually, "What about you?"

"I just went to my former mentor to visit the old man," Lu Zhou said, "Speaking of which, did you understand the paper on the grand unified theory?"

Chen Yang nodded.

"...Understood, what's the matter?"

"It's something..." Lu Zhou smiled happily, and continued, "I have a task for you here."

As soon as he heard that Lu Zhou had something to ask him, Chen Yang immediately became serious and said seriously.

"Speaking."

"Don't be so nervous, it's not a particularly difficult thing, it must be easy for you," Lu Zhou looked at the serious expression on Professor Chen's face, smiled calmly, coughed lightly, and continued, " The thing is, Jinling University School of Mathematics intends to compile a book... a "Mathematical Theory", which mainly records the grand unified theory and some related promotions."

Chen Yang frowned: ""Mathematical Theory"?"

"Yes, this book will be very long. I haven't decided how many volumes it will be in total. Maybe I will keep writing it until new mathematics appears." Lu did not tell Chen Yang that the title of the book was an impromptu idea of ​​his own. Zhou continued in a solemn tone, "Your ability is obvious to all. I have thought about it carefully and plan to entrust you with this glorious and arduous task!"

"Of course, if you don't want to, please say so. After all, publishing a book is a tiring and thankless task—"

"I would."

Seeing Chen Yang agreeing without hesitation, Lu Zhou felt a little embarrassed.

This guy is too straightforward.

For a while, Lu Zhou didn't know what to say, so he reached out and patted his shoulder, and said with a dry smile.

"As expected of the talent I'm looking for...Then I'll leave this matter to you."

The stairs are over.

Lu Zhou, who just cheated others, was too embarrassed to stay here for a while, so he said goodbye and went to his office.

But just as he took a step, he was stopped from behind.

"Please wait a moment."

Looking back, Lu Zhou asked, "What's the matter?"

Chen Yang, who suddenly thought of something important, continued, "I tried to study the method you used to prove the second part of the standard conjecture."

Raising his eyebrows, Lu Zhou asked with interest, "Any new discoveries?"

"……Yes."

Chen Yang nodded and continued.

"About Hodge's conjecture... I really think I have some clues."
