Chapter 1577 Too Much for My Appetite

Lu Zhou originally had a little bit of luck in his heart, that is, the troubles facing the space elevator project. It is really just like what Chairman Li Guangya said, it is just that everything is difficult at the beginning.

It turns out that the reality is that one trouble is just the beginning of another trouble.

Now the problem of site selection has been solved, and then returned to the design of the space elevator, and now not only the design of the space elevator, but even the Penglai City project has been included in the project team of the space elevator.

Although he understood Li Guangya's intention to delegate power to himself, Lu Zhou, who was the general consultant of the entire project, still felt a lot of pressure because so much work was on him.

After leaving the research institute, Li Guangya, who was sitting in the car, suddenly looked out of the car window with a little melancholy.

Noticing this inadvertently, Wu Shuhua asked casually.

"I thought you'd be very happy."

"Happy? Of course I'm very happy," Li Guangya looked away from the car window, and gave her a strange look, "Why do you ask such a question?"

Wu Shuhua shrugged slightly, and said in a casual tone.

"I don't know, maybe your expression made the air heavy."

"Heavy? It's not that bad, it's just a little...sentimental."

"Emotional?"

"That's right," Li Guangya sighed, "It would be great if it was a century earlier."

"...Sorry, I don't quite understand what you're talking about."

Li Guangya shook his head with a smile and said, "I mean, it would be great if I could have been born a century earlier, in that magnificent era."

As expected of a person from that era.

Especially the last proposal, it's just too frightening for him.

Wu Shuhua: "...?"

...

In the past few days, a news has suddenly spread on the Internet, saying that the Pan-Asian Cooperation plans to build a city on the high seas to serve as an anchorage for space elevators.

Once the news spread, it immediately sparked a lot of controversy on the Internet.

Some people said it was a good job, while others shook their heads and sighed, saying that it would damage the international image of Pan-Asian cooperation.

However, the news is unverified after all. Regarding the inquiry at the regular press conference, the spokesperson also stated that he did not know about it, and reiterated that the Pacific Ocean is the common property of all mankind.

Although a little confused why the official spokesperson of the Pan-Asia Cooperation has repeatedly emphasized this point, but seeing his firm statement, the top leaders of the major regional alliances are still a little relieved.

In the coffee shop of the laboratory building of Jinling University, several mathematics professors are sitting here, drinking coffee and chatting about gossip inside and outside the school.

While chatting about this topic, it naturally ran to Academician Lu, a man of the school.

"Speaking of which, have you heard that Academician Lu seems to have graduated from the preparatory course."

"I've heard it, I've heard it a long time ago haha," a professor said with a smile, "I think it's funny when I talk about this.

"You can't say that. Although his academic achievements and talents are obvious to all, after all, a century has passed between now and the past, and many things are different from before. He is willing to take the initiative to understand the rules of this era. How do you think It's all a good thing."

"I don't deny that," the professor might have thought of something, and said with some emotion, "It's just that I didn't expect that after a century, he would be able to teach mathematics to our students as before when he woke up. Even publishing papers in cutting-edge research areas...it feels like 100 years, we haven't improved at all."

"Science is a gradual process, and it takes time to accumulate from quantitative change to qualitative change, so there is no need to belittle yourself," another professor said with a sigh, "But what you said is true, the deeper the research, the more I feel, Whether it is mathematics or physics, we may have reached the boundary. If we want to make a breakthrough, I am afraid that we will only be able to do it after we step outside the solar system and have a new understanding of the universe. "

"You are too pessimistic." Looking at him in surprise, the professor sitting opposite took a sip of coffee and continued, "I don't feel the boundary you mentioned, and there are so many things to study Not too many...for example, the recent second-generation controllable fusion, isn't it an epoch-making breakthrough?"

The professor asked rhetorically: "After all, there are only a small number of people who can surpass their own times. Without Academician Lu, would we still be able to make breakthroughs?"

The few people drinking coffee fell into silence.

Although this kind of thing is not something they should worry about, but this sentence seems to be on point.

A professor of mathematics who was slightly overweight and had been silent all this time pushed down his glasses lightly and said in an emotional voice.

"Our Academician Lu is really amazing... After waking up, he did a big thing in less than a year. He invented the second-generation controllable nuclear fusion, and immediately launched the space elevator project. A thousand-kilometer orbit. If someone tells me about this, I'm afraid I think he's talking in his sleep."

"What do you think? After all, he is a man who stood at the pinnacle of human mind a century ago."

"It's just a pity... His mind is not on mathematics at all now."

Having said that, the professors sighed again, sighing for the choice of this once-in-a-century genius.

Sitting at a coffee table not far away, Professor Sun Jingwen put down the coffee cup in his hand, looked at Academician Qin Chuan, the dean of the School of Numerology sitting opposite, and asked casually.

"Did academician Lu say when he would return to school to teach?"

Qin Chuan gave his apprentice a strange look, and replied.

"I didn't mention it...what's the matter?"

"It's nothing, it's just some academic questions. I want to ask him for advice, but I haven't been able to find an opportunity." With some hesitation on his face, after a moment of silence, Sun Jingwen continued, "You said... he still Will you come back to study math?"

"I'm afraid only he knows this question," Dean Qin smiled, looking out the window at the students returning to the dormitory after class in twos and threes, and continued in a relaxed tone, "I was actually quite obsessed with this matter before. I have been trying my best to persuade him to return to the number institute, and take advantage of his golden years to solve some world-wide problems. But after getting in touch with him for a while, I understand a little bit about his thinking."

"what idea……"

"Do you still remember the problems he picked out in your class when he studied the zero-point distribution of Dirichlet's L function written on the blackboard?"

If an ordinary person were to expose his faults like this, most of them would show embarrassment on their faces, and even feel ashamed. However, Professor Sun Jingwen just fell into deep thought, and nodded after a long time.

"...I seem to understand."

There was a hint of approval in his eyes, and Dean Qin, who looked at him, sighed softly.

"A long time ago, I saw a memoir written by Professor Perelman. I remember it very clearly. He once wrote in the memoir."

"...that was when we just entered the tortuous and abstract labyrinth of Hodge's conjecture. My collaborators, Professor Chen and Professor Ji, and I both fell into the dilemma of understanding abstract things. It is the same as the Poincaré conjecture. It’s different, its requirements for abstract geometry are beyond our imagination, so that I fell into pain and couldn’t extricate myself. I tried to ask him for help, but he didn’t answer my question directly, but gave me a meaningful look. "

"Maybe it's just an illusion. At that time, I vaguely felt that he might have known the answer, just to leave this treasure to those who have not set foot in the same field as him. I made up my mind to wait until he came from After returning from Mars, I must ask him for the answer to this proposition. I didn’t stop thinking about asking him for help until the bad news came from Mars..."

After retelling the original text of the autobiography, Qin Chuan looked at his student who was in deep thought, and said with a slight smile.

"He expects the subject of mathematics to make progress more than anyone else, but what he expects may be a little further than what we expect."

"The greatness of one person cannot make the whole discipline flourish unless he is willing to share his greatness with others. I think this may be because he did not solve the generalized Riemann hypothesis directly, but chose to add some limitations to your argument. The reason for pointing."

At this moment, Sun Jingwen's expressionless face finally showed a hint of emotion.

"You mean...the generalized Riemann conjecture, he has solved it?"

Dean Qin said with a smile.

"Eighty percent yes."

"But... when? Could it be the 100 years of being frozen? Impossible... when I was frozen, I was unconscious."

"It doesn't matter when it was solved," Dean Qin said earnestly, looking at his students, "The key is that he wants to see us solve it."
