Chapter 181 That Beam of Light Beyond the Standard Model

The Polignac conjecture is a strong conjecture of twin primes, for all natural numbers k, there are infinitely many pairs of primes (p, p+2k). The case of k=1 is the twin prime number conjecture, that is, there are infinitely many prime numbers p such that p+2 is a prime number.

The latter has already been proved by Lu Zhou in February this year using a supplementary method of topological sieve method.

Prior to this, mathematicians such as Zhang Yitang have completed the proof from 70 million to 246 in their research on the "bounded distance between prime numbers". And these conclusions all belong to the form of (P, P+2K), which also provides a strong clue for the proof of Polignac's conjecture.

So far, the "k=1" and "k=123, ..., 3.5X10^7" parts have been completed. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this jigsaw puzzle has been completed in sevens and eighties.

Now there is only one last step left, which is to extend "k=1" to "infinity".

If the twin prime number conjecture only allowed Lu Zhou to be nominated for the 2018 Fields Medal, then the proof of the Polignac conjecture was completed, and the 2018 Fields Medal was almost guaranteed.

However, although it is very simple to say, it is still quite difficult to extend "K=1" to "infinity".

In terms of method alone, this is a brand new job. The conclusion and proof process of the twin prime number conjecture may only provide Lu Zhou with an idea. To prove the Polignac conjecture, maybe he has to create a new proof method like he did in Princeton.

Even now that his math level has risen from LV2 to LV3, it is still quite difficult to complete this task.

And the most terrible thing is that the system limits the completion time and requires 16 years before.

In other words, if you want to get the task reward, you must solve this problem within 15 years.

On the other hand, there is also a lot of randomness in this reward. However, Lu Zhou felt that the conjecture of twin prime numbers has gained more than 40,000 experience, so this strong conjecture of twin prime numbers will not be lower than this figure, right?

What's more, it is a reward task.

Therefore, he was quite looking forward to this reward.

...

After receiving the task, Lu Zhou exited the system space, fell asleep, and slept until noon the next day.

When I woke up, I realized that there were five or six missed calls on my phone.

Looking at the phone numbers, they were all called from Academician Lu's office. Lu Zhou could guess that it was probably Senior Brother Yan who told Mr. Lu that he had returned to China.

Thinking about going to the old gentleman's office later anyway, he didn't rush to call back.

Before lunch, he had one more important thing to do.

After climbing out of bed, brushing his teeth and washing his face, Lu Zhou entered the system space again and clicked on the inventory.

[Scanning gun (disposable): It can scan the internal structure of an object with a volume scale of 1 cubic meter in a panoramic manner, and analyze its structure and composition. 】

The introduction of the system is very brief, but Lu Zhou probably knows how to use it.

Moreover, if used well, the ability of this thing is simply against the sky. Regardless of whether you are a chip lithography machine or an Iron Man suit, shoot at it, and all the technology inside will be stripped clean for you. As long as the problem of the production process is solved, it is no problem to rebuild one from the original.

So the question is, what is it good for?

"It can only be used once...doesn't it even have a chance to test fire?"

Looking at the icon in the inventory, Lu Zhou felt a little tangled.

First of all, considering the maximization of revenue, it is naturally the best to use the samples rewarded by the system.

In his inventory, there are three things in total. In addition to the "Wreckage No. 1" rewarded by the system, there is also the "Two-hour Nano Physical Enhancement Needle" drawn a long time ago, and a bottle of Sprite from the future.

Therefore, he has three choices.

One is to shoot a shot at Wreckage One, the other is to shoot a shot at the nanobody enhancement needle, and even a shot at Sprite is feasible.

The first option can get materials from unknown battery wreckage, but it's hard to say whether it will be useful, and how much technology can be obtained from that junk is also a mystery.

After all, he didn't even know what the core technology of that battery was. He just guessed through the task of observing the formation of lithium dendrites that this battery was probably the legendary lithium-air battery or something.

As for the second type, it is a fully functional sample, and according to the description of the system, it has a powerful effect and no side effects. If the technology can be completely reversed, not to mention creating a batch of Captain America, but there should be no pressure to transform soldiers at the level of the Winter Soldier... Probably?

This is the last one, and the recipe for a "future" drink should not be very difficult to make...at least compared to the first two.

After hesitating for a while, Lu Zhou finally chose the former.

People still have to take a long-term view.

Although the direct economic effect of the third option is great, after all, the technical threshold is not high, and it is indeed delicious, but the room for development is still too small. Moreover, it is quite difficult to protect intellectual property rights for such things that are not difficult to produce. It is still difficult to rely on patents.

As for the second type, this technology is a bit sensitive. Although there is no doubt about its value, if it is taken out rashly, it feels that it is prone to problems in all aspects.

As for the first, it's a bit of a gamble.

It's really hard to say what can be scanned after being destroyed into such a wreck.

"Is it just a gamble?"

Reaching out his hand to take out "Wreckage One" and "Scanning Gun" from the inventory, Lu Zhou closed his eyes and said a word about the system silently, then exited the system space.

Feeling the light and cold metal texture in his hand, Lu Zhou put the damaged battery on the table, then picked up the streamlined pistol, aimed at the damaged battery and pulled the trigger.

Only a light "hum" sound was heard, and the blue arc flickered slightly on the muzzle of the gun, and a cone-shaped light blue light curtain in the shape of a grid bloomed forward.

The light blue light curtain shrouded the battery wreckage, as if with a magical penetrating power, lightly penetrated through the hard metal surface, turning the dark metal surface into a transparent color, and searching for shadows every inch of the bottom.

Looking at this scene, Lu Zhou's eyes straightened.

Fuck, it is indeed the black technology of the system!

Just this light beam that penetrates metal and is arranged in a grid in space is at least a Nobel Prize-level discovery.

What god particle, standard model, compared to this thing is simply weak!

In the eyes of a layman, it may be nothing, just a sci-fi light that makes a dark object transparent, but for Lu Zhou, an expert in mathematics and physics, the existence of this thing has simply subverted his perception of it. Cognition of High Energy Physics and Standard Model!

At least in the standard model he is familiar with, he can't find any kind of particle that can explain the weird phenomenon in front of him...

At this moment, the scanning light beam suddenly dimmed, and then it was completely extinguished as if it had been cut off from the source.

The battery wreckage, which was illuminated translucently, returned to its previous metallic appearance as if it had been repainted.

The scanning gun held in Lu Zhou's hand suddenly lost its weight and turned into a fine black powder, slipping away from his clenched fingers like gravel. There was only one black USB drive left, lying alone in his hand.

"..."

Spreading his palms, looking at the USB flash drive in his hand, Lu Zhou didn't speak for a long time.

The scene in front of him seemed familiar, but he was not particularly surprised, but a little emotional.

This broken system really does not allow him to take advantage of any loopholes.

If nothing else happened, most of the USB flash drive lying in his hand was made of self-degradable materials, and it would automatically decompose after copying the data or something.

It is exactly the same as the USB flash drive with Xiaoai installed last time...
