Chapter 1416 God of Mathematics!

"Xin Yi-san, Xin Yi-san..."

Mochizuki Shinichi, who was dozing on the plane seat, opened his eyes in a daze and saw the student sitting beside him.

"What's up?"

Hoshi Yuichiro grinned, showing his white teeth.

"Professor! We're almost there!"

About to arrive……

Does that mean you are going back to Japan?

Mochizuki Shinichi, who was wrapped in a blanket, tilted his head expressionlessly, and looked at the porthole beside him.

Outside the window is the runway and terminal of Kansai International Airport. There is no doubt that this is already Japan.

At this time, the arrival announcement sounded in the cabin.

Stuffing the blanket wrapped around his body into the hands of his student, Mochizuki Shinichi took off the gold-rimmed glasses from his collar and put them on, untied his seat belt and stood up from his seat. At the prompt of the flight attendant, he followed The flow of people walked in the direction of the exit.

About half a month ago.

He vaguely remembered that almost when the incident on Mars had just happened, his student Yuichiro Hoshi rushed to Huaguo by plane and begged him to return to Kyoto University to continue teaching.

Thinking that he had no chance to talk with Lu Zhou about the future of quantum encryption algorithms, Shinichi Mochizuki, who stayed in the library of Jinling University for half a month, finally chose to go home.

There, there was nothing worth leaving behind.

The TV hanging in the waiting hall of the terminal shows the latest news.

I remember that when he left Japan, the clues about the discovery of "cosmic people" on Mars were still shown on TV. In just a few months, the content of the news had developed into "The People's Federation held the second meeting of member states." Congress", "Establishing a defense system of a community with a shared future for mankind integrating land, sea, air and space", "One country is attacked and the world joins the war", "the border is set in the Kuiper Belt", and so on.

To be honest, if aliens really invade the earth, is this level of resistance really useful?

And set the border in the Kuiper belt, how many people have flown there?

Shinichi is deeply skeptical about this.

Dragging two suitcases, Yuichiro Hoshi strenuously passed through the crowd, caught up with the professor, and panted.

"Professor, you are walking too fast!"

Looking away from the TV, Mochizuki Shinichi said seriously.

"Ichiro-san, even a mathematician, can't ignore physical exercise."

"Yes...professor, but I still have two suitcases—"

"It's not an excuse."

"yes……"

Just as the two were walking towards the boarding point, a reporter with a microphone in his hand suddenly ran over with a photographer and blocked their way.

"Hello, are you Professor Xinyi?"

"It's me." Glancing at the camera behind the reporter, Mochizuki pushed his glasses with his index finger, and said with a blank expression, "What's the matter?"

"That's right, I want to interview you about the ABC conjecture—"

"It's been almost two months since the proof of the ABC conjecture, can't you ask questions that are up to date?"

Hearing this sentence, the expression on the reporter's face showed a hint of embarrassment.

"This... After all, many citizens are concerned about you, and during the time you were in Huaguo, we couldn't contact you."

Looking at his watch, Mochizuki said succinctly, "If you want to ask anything, just ask, I can only give you two minutes at most."

"What kind of role do you play in the LSPM research group?"

"A mathematician."

"That's for sure, what we actually want to know is—"

"The importance of my work accounts for the overall results... Is this what you want to ask, right?" Seeing the embarrassed smile on the reporter's face, Mochizuki paused for a while, and looked at Hang On the airstrip outside the station building, he continued, "This question doesn't make any sense at all. More than 60% of the part and the most critical proof idea were found by that person. And the remaining 40% of the part, some of which are What I did, and what Schultz and Professor Perelman did, it's hard to tell which is more important."

Reporter: "Do you have a high opinion of Academician Lu?"

"It is very high, or in other words, he should not be judged by me," Mochizuki continued after a pause, "If I must say, there is only one title worthy of him."

Reporter: "...what title?"

Facing the camera behind the reporter, Mochizuki Shinichi said with great momentum.

"God of Mathematics!"

...

Lu Zhou's departure affected many people.

From the first lecture he gave in Princeton, his whole life seems to be firmly bound up with "academic", a word that carries the imagination and hope of human civilization for the future.

It is precisely because of this that when the bad news came, it was the academic world that had the greatest impact.

"I have had many teachers in my life, but he is the one I respect the most. I will remember his teachings in my life and carry forward what I have learned from him."

In an interview with "Nature", Professor Hardy, the youngest head of the Department of Mathematics at the University of Sao Paulo in Brazil, said this sentence with a heavy expression.

Earlier, "Nature" also tried to contact Professor Deligne who had led him to the doctoral stage, but unfortunately, Professor Deligne refused the interview.

Fortunately, although they did not interview Professor Deligne, they managed to contact Professor Fefferman who had cooperated with Lu Zhou on the NS equation.

Facing the camera of "Nature", Professor Fefferman also had a heavy expression, but he managed to maintain emotional restraint, and answered some of the questions raised by the reporter from the perspective of a scholar.

"...His death is undoubtedly the loss of the entire academic community, as well as the loss of the world. I once talked with a professor of physics at the Institute for Advanced Study about this issue, including Z particles and hyperspace theory, because his With his sudden departure, many unfinished research will be stalled."

"It is not ruled out that among those young talents, there will be someone more talented than him, but Professor Witten is very pessimistic about this. The birth of a genius is itself a very coincidental accident. After all, this kind of thing is not ubiquitous."

"It is sad that he is in his early thirties, the golden age of a scholar, and he can solve many great problems if nothing else... as it should be."

...

Jinling.

Yida Plaza in University City.

What was shown in the theater was a movie about Academician Lu.

After a year of shooting, and nearly half a year of editing and review, the film was originally planned to be released at the end of the year.

However, because of various things that happened, all the arrangements were disrupted, and the schedule was directly brought forward to the summer vacation.

As for the name of the movie, although it is simple, it has quite a charm. There are only two short words——

"scholar"

Most of the people sitting here watching movies are students, especially junior high school students and high school students. Part of it was organized by the school to watch movies, and part of it was brought by parents with their children.

It's really rare for Chen Yushan to come with her younger sister.

The total length of the film is two and a half hours. It records the growth of a scholar and the choices in life during the years from Lu Zhou's student days to the ignition of the controllable fusion reactor.

When the tragic BGM sounded, Pangudui was successfully ignited, and everyone cheered, but Academician Lu fell backward due to the fatigue of the past few days, many people in the theater clenched their fists. Tears welled up in his eyes.

As soon as the screen turned, the camera came to the ward.

Looking at the person lying on the hospital bed, a child about five or six years old sitting not far from Chen Yushan held his mother's hand and asked in a low voice.

"Mom, will Academician Lu wake up?"

The mother patted her son's hand lightly and said softly.

"Yes, he is a very powerful scientist. He has helped many people. Even if he can't wake up, he will still live in the hearts of many people."

The child nodded half-understanding, as if a seed had been buried in his heart.

For some reason, Chen Yushan's eyes were a little sour.

Obviously I have decided not to be sad anymore...

Noticing her sister's mood swings, Han Mengqi squeezed her hand worriedly.

"sister……"

"I'm fine," the mood gradually calmed down, Chen Yushan sniffed lightly, and tried to force a smile on her face, "It's just a little emotional... Speaking of which, the place where I first dated him seems to be in here."

She still remembered watching a ghost movie and even remembered the name of the movie.

When buying tickets, that guy even said to buy two tickets for different shows, after watching the "stupid talk" that met at the door.

Thinking about it now, he was really cute back then...

And she didn't realize it until now.

At the time, she didn't realize it at all.

"sister……"

"What's wrong?"

"I...haven't told you," Han Mengqi said in a low voice, looking away a little, staring at the list of producers flashing across the screen, "Actually, I...maybe have someone I like."

"Just face it boldly if you like it, and don't leave regrets for your youth." Chen Yushan smiled a little lonely, "Don't be like me, when you realize that, not only have you reached this age, you even have to face life and death. suffering."

"What are you talking about sister? You are only in your early thirties, and you look so young and beautiful, and you can dress up... It looks like you are twenty-four or twenty-five at most."

"How is it possible?" Looking at Meng Qi who was speaking for herself, Chen Yushan smiled, and continued, "Speaking of which, can I know which lucky boy our Qiqi fell in love with?"

Han Mengqi's cheeks flushed slightly, and she spoke shyly.

"This... can I keep it a secret?"

"You can always tell me when you know each other."

"In the crew... when filming." Her cheeks were slightly red, Han Mengqi couldn't hold back, and lied half-truth.

However, because her eyes were completely on the movie screen, Chen Yushan didn't notice the change on her sister's face, she just smiled and said.

"Is it the star of the crew?"

"No way... I'm not interested in people who just have a handsome face, but he's quite popular." Han Mengqi smiled sheepishly, and continued in a low voice, "Actually, I haven't thought greedily about being able to be with you." What happened to him. But I am very, very grateful to him, he changed me... no, it should be said that he saved me."

"Really? That sounds like a very nice person," Chen Yushan said with a smile, "Treasure him, there are not many boys like this."

"Um……"

After a pause, Chen Yushan thought for a while, and then said.

"In the afternoon...I plan to go to Jiangling to visit Lu Zhou's parents. Xiaotong is also back, do you want to go with me?"

Han Mengqi asked in surprise.

"Xiaotong came back from America?"

"Well, she seems to have applied for a suspension of school. I met her at the airport yesterday. She seemed to be crying very sadly, and her nose was swollen. I had a meal with him, and she didn't stay here for long. , I went back to Hubei Province that day. You and Xiaotong should have a good relationship, if it is convenient, it would be great if you could help me comfort her."

"Well! I'll go with you."

Looking at her sensible younger sister, Chen Yushan smiled and reached out to stroke her hair gently.

"Thanks."

Not out of fear or guilt.

It's just that facing the second elder who lost her eldest son alone, and all the past, she was afraid that her emotions would be out of control...

...

The maglev from Jinling to Jiangcheng was opened at the beginning of the year.

It was like taking a subway across Jinling. In just one hour, the two sisters arrived in the provincial capital of Hubei Province.

After going all the way by high-speed rail and car, from high-rise buildings to houses with small bridges and flowing water, the two finally arrived at that community.

Although the number of times I have been here can be counted on the fingers, the familiar feeling is still lingering, as if this is my hometown.

Standing in front of the familiar door, Chen Yushan hesitated, reached out and knocked gently on the door.

After a while, the door opened, and an old man with slightly frosted temples and a haggard face appeared in front of the door. For a while, Chen Yushan almost didn't recognize him.

When he first saw Chen Yushan, the old man also had a look of surprise on his face.

Before she had time to speak, Chen Yushan, who was standing at the door, spoke first.

"Mom, I'm here to see you... This is my cousin, Han Mengqi, who is also Xiaotong's friend."

Han Mengqi bowed politely and said hello to the old man.

"Hello, Auntie."

"Hello, hello, come in quickly..." Fang Mei smiled reluctantly, and looked at Chen Yushan, "Don't call me a mother in the future... You are a good girl, and my unworthy son has let me down. you."

"Where is the matter?" Chen Yushan shook her head and said with a smile, "I have already planned to be bullied by him for the rest of my life. There is no way I can live up to it. If you don't dislike it, treat me as your daughter." gone."

"What do you say, why don't you dislike it? I'm just afraid of delaying you... Hey, forget it, it's a crime..."

Shaking his head and sighing, the old man turned and went back into the house.

Chen Yushan nodded towards Han Mengqi, and led her into the room.

When walking into the living room, Chen Yushan saw that the door of Lu Zhou's room was closed.

Her heart trembled slightly, but she soon realized that the unrealistic thought that flashed in her mind was impossible.

Lu Zhou can't be here.

The one inside should be Xiaotong.

It also confirmed her guess, the closed door was opened a crack, and that familiar face appeared in the crack of the door.

Meeting the eyes of the two people in the living room, the eyes hidden in the crack of the door were filled with surprise.

Soon the door was completely opened, and Xiaotong with red and swollen eyes came out of the room.

"sister in law……"

"Be good, don't cry..." Hugging Xiaotong who was rushing towards her, Chen Yushan gently supported the back of her head, and comforted her softly, "There is still me."

Looking at the hair that grew past the earlobe, Han Mengqi asked in a low voice.

"Why did you cut your hair?"

"..."

Xiaotong with red eyes just buried her face in Chen Yushan's chest and didn't speak.

But from the stubbornness in the corner of her eyes, Han Mengqi probably understood something.

possible……

She wanted to take up the responsibility of this family that originally belonged to his brother.

During the meal, Xiaotong's mood finally eased up a bit.

Although there is still a sad atmosphere in this home, perhaps because there are guests here, that emotion is not obvious.

During the meal, Chen Yushan asked Xiaotong in a chatty tone.

"What are your plans for the future?"

"I want...after returning to China, I will accompany my parents first, and then...help my brother continue walking along the road that my brother has not finished."

Looking at Chen Yushan, Xiaotong said sincerely.

"Can you help me?"

"Of course." Holding Xiaotong's hand, Chen Yushan showed a gentle smile on her face, "You are my sister."

When hearing this sentence, Xiaotong's cheeks flushed slightly, and a long-lost smile bloomed on his face.

"Thanks……"

"Thank you for what the family said," Chen Yushan said with a smile, "Hurry up and eat, and don't talk about these things while eating."

Watching from the side, Han Mengqi showed a trace of envy in her eyes.

She suddenly understood something.

Master, that steel straight man, faced so many temptations. He didn't catch a cold at all, so why did he fall in love with her sister.

Although she also had times when she was deeply hit and depressed, her gentleness and self-confidence, even as a woman herself, felt a little dazzling.

Stayed in the small city of Jiangling for one night, because Xingkong Technology still had a lot of things to deal with, so Chen Yushan said goodbye to Lu Zhou's parents and Xiaotong, and took Han Mengqi on the way back to Jinling.

Sitting on the high-speed train heading to transfer to the maglev, Chen Yushan, who had been staring out the window, suddenly spoke.

"During his lifetime, Lu Zhou kept telling me that he wanted to do something for science, such as setting up some special awards to honor outstanding research and outstanding young scholars."

"But he has been hesitant, thinking that he is too young, and it would be too immodest to name a world-class academic award after himself."

Han Mengqi looked at her sister in confusion, not quite understanding why she said these things at this time.

"I want to use his name to establish a world-class award as my first wish for him... What do you think?"

"I think it's pretty good," Han Mengqi hesitated for a moment, then said with bright eyes, "Seeing that my name can help so many people, Master in that world... must be happy."

Chen Yushan bent the corners of her mouth, and turned her gaze to the endless plain outside the window.

"It would be great if I could share this joy with him."

Just as the high-speed train they were riding slowly entered the Jiangcheng high-speed railway station, a cuboid-shaped Magpie Bridge slowly docked on the Moon Palace space station hundreds of thousands of kilometers away.

Half a month ago, it unloaded supplies and reinforcements on Mars. At the same time, from the return capsule launched from the ground, it recovered members of the diplomatic mission sent to Mars some time ago, samples collected from the remains of Martian civilization, and a A wrist pc with a broken screen.

At almost the same time, Jinling Institute for Advanced Study, the quantum computer mainframe buried deep in the ground, the signal light on the shell flickered slightly.

A drone flew up unsteadily, flew towards the direction of the elevator, and began to carry out the last order left by its owner before leaving...
