Chapter 132 When I Didn't Ask

Philadelphia International Airport.

After the car stopped, Molina pushed the door open, helped Lu Zhou open the trunk, and put her hand on it.

"Are you really not thinking about it anymore?"

Lu Zhou, who dragged the suitcase out, asked, "What are you thinking about?"

Molina hesitated, finally sighed, and said, "Well, to be honest... I want you to join my research group, I'm working on a very challenging topic."

"What subject?"

"Riemann conjecture."

"Wake up."

Molina raised her eyebrows, "It's not like you would say something. I thought you would be more courageous to stand on that podium and overcome the twin prime conjecture."

"For example, bravely trying to solve this problem in a dream?" Lu Zhou smiled.

Number theorists all over the world want to solve this problem, because whoever can solve this conjecture will undoubtedly become one of the most influential mathematicians today. In comparison, the one million dollar bounty was insignificant.

But how difficult is this problem?

To put it simply, it's so difficult that with his current LV3 math level, the system doesn't even bother to open the "offering price", and the points are not displayed at all. Because from the point of view of the system, this thing is far from what his current math level can solve, and there is no chance of winning.

The most cutting-edge research result in today's mathematics world is the American mathematician Conrey's "40% zero point is on the critical line", and this research result has now maintained a record of nearly 30 years, which is the so-called "Conrey critical". Line Theorem".

And to advance this 40% to 100%, the difficulty the challenger will face is no easier than the work done by the British mathematician Hardy (Hua Luogeng's teacher) who put the "red flag" on the critical line.

Of course, there are also many people who try to break away from this method and use various grotesque postures to take off the crown of the mathematical world, but the final result has failed without exception.

The most famous of them is probably Mr. de-Branges, who claimed that he had proved the Riemann conjecture in 2004, but everyone prefers to treat this as a joke.

After all, compared to those people who can't even figure out "where is the door", the old gentleman is still somewhat famous in the mathematics community, as far as the media claims that he has proved this conjecture.

In contrast, before Lu Zhou proved the twin prime conjecture, mathematicians around the world pushed Mr. Zhang Yitang's "70 million" to the number "246", which didn't even take a year.

It is foreseeable that Riemann guessed that in this big pit, I don't know how many "geniuses" will be filled in.

It's not that he is afraid of this challenge, but that he has absolutely no need to challenge this nightmare-level difficulty as soon as he comes up. He can wait for the math level to rise, and then try to challenge the difficulty of this level.

Taking a deep breath, Molina made her final attempt to persuade, "Actually, it's not as pessimistic as you think. In fact, I have achieved a little bit of results... Although it seems trivial, I am confident that within three years, I will The number of 40% has been advanced to 50% as my doctoral dissertation! Of course, if you are willing to help me, I can co-author a work with you..."

"That's why number theory is so fascinating." Without answering her question directly, Lu Zhou sighed and said softly, "Everyone thought they were about to succeed, but when the results came out, they found that it was A beautiful joke."

In the past six months, he did not know how many times he thought that he had caught the tail of the twin prime number conjecture, but the reality told him again and again that everything was just his illusion.

How long does it take to prove this conjecture without using the heuristic time of the system?

a year?

Still ten years...

Bad to say.

After all, mathematics itself is a flash of inspiration. It is the result of more than ten years, and it is only ten pages of paper.

Lu Zhou looked at the time on his phone: "It's getting late, I should go too, thank you for taking me to the airport, next time I have a chance, I'll treat you to dinner."

"...I'll wait for you here, your stage should be all over the world!" Molina couldn't help but said when she saw Lu Zhou's back as he turned and walked towards the airport.

Hearing the voice from behind, Lu Zhou was stunned for a moment, and then he smiled.

"As big as my heart is, as big as the stage is, it won't make any difference because of where I am." Without looking back, he raised his hand and waved it casually, "There will be a future!"

He didn't stop moving forward, dropped these words, and he disappeared into the crowd.

Staring in the direction of the airport entrance, Molina fell into silence and didn't speak for a long time.

In the distance, the sky crossed a silvery white and disappeared into the unseen sky.

"How big is the heart, how big is the stage...?"

After repeating this sentence thoughtfully, she felt inexplicably empty in her heart.

Shaking her head, throwing the feeling behind her, she turned and walked towards her car.

At this time, a man dressed in fancy clothes came over, with a sunny smile on his face, and approached her skillfully.

"Hey, beauty, I don't know the way here, can you give me a ride?"

"My next Uber."

Glancing at him lightly, Molina dropped the sentence, then closed the door with her hand, stepped on the accelerator and walked away.

Staring blankly at the taillights that passed away, the man stood there for a while.

After a long time, he came back to his senses, and then pointed his middle finger at the taillight.

"Shet..."

...

After chasing the sun for ten or twenty hours, the plane finally landed at the airport in Shanghai.

Without stopping, Lu Zhou turned and continued westward, heading straight to Jiangcheng, the largest construction site in Hubei Province.

Jiangcheng International Airport.

After getting off the plane, Lu Zhou dragged his suitcase and was about to take the subway to the high-speed rail station, but he was blocked before he took two steps.

I saw a beautiful-looking young lady and a man in a suit who looked like an assistant. After he left the boarding gate, he quickly caught up with him.

"Hello, please wait a moment, I'm Wu Ping, the program planner of Jiangsu Provincial TV Station. Are you Lu Zhou?"

When he heard the Jiangsu TV station, Lu Zhou was stunned for a while, and then he looked at the sign next to him subconsciously.

You didn't take the wrong flight, this is Jiangcheng International Airport...

Wait, has the news that I proved the twin prime conjecture spread to China?

The paper has not been officially published yet...

After giving the reporter a suspicious look, Lu Zhou asked cautiously.

"Is there a problem?"

Wu Ping showed a symbolic smile on her face, and said with a smiley face: "That's it, there is a show called the Strongest Xueba on my station recently, I wonder if you have heard of it?"

It turns out that it is not a matter of the twin prime number conjecture...

Losing interest, Lu Zhou shook his head: "No."

He didn't watch TV for many years, how would he know what programs were popular recently.

There are only three who are slightly impressed, running man, fast camp, and looking for dad.

That's because the classmate Huang Xiaojian in the dormitory loves to watch variety shows, and they are often put on public display in the dormitory, so he just stood behind and watched a little bit.

Ms. Wu Ping's expression was subtle and a little embarrassing, she coughed dryly, and continued to have a charming smile on her face: "That's it, this strongest scholar is a very popular program on our station recently, and the rules are based on mathematics, physics, The top students in the fields of chemistry and biology will form six teams according to their nationalities, with four players in each team, and the strongest team will be decided! We understand that you have proved Zhou's conjecture, a world-class mathematical problem, and I don't know if you are willing represent……"

"Not interested." Lu Zhou shook his head and left.

The reporter was in a hurry and stopped him quickly.

"Hey, wait a minute, there is an appearance fee."

Lu Zhou stopped: "How much?"

A charming smile appeared on Wu Ping's face.

"fifty thousand."

"..."

Lu Zhou was speechless, turned around and left.

"When I didn't ask."
