384 Invitation To Cooperative Research (2/3)

Chapter 384 Invitation to Cooperative Research (23)

Undoubtedly, this was an unexpected and embarrassing request.

After a long silence, Lu Zhou spoke.

"...The answer to the existence and smoothness of the solution of the Navier-Stokes equation is a very complicated proposition. Although I have done some research around it, these studies are not aimed at the Millennium Problem."

He is telling the truth.

The reason why NS equations are studied is mainly to create a suitable theoretical tool in the research process to study complex plasma turbulence phenomena.

And this is also Mr. Qiu's suggestion to him.

As for fully resolving the Millennium Conundrum regarding the establishment of the NS equation...

Lu Zhou really didn't think about it.

"I know that if it is not difficult, it will not be left unresolved until now. Even if I am against it, I don't have much confidence." Professor Fefferman smiled and said in a relaxed tone, " However, if the two of us join forces, I think we can definitely give it a try."

Lu Zhou was speechless: "Are you sure this thing can be solved by working together."

"I don't know, but my intuition tells me that this line of thinking is probably correct."

Looking at the formulas listed on the whiteboard again, Professor Fefferman nodded himself as if affirming what he said earlier.

Then, he looked at Lu Zhou, stretched out his right hand, and extended the invitation again.

"What do you think?"

The classroom is very quiet.

Not only Professor Fefferman was waiting for Lu Zhou's decision, everyone in the classroom held their breath and waited quietly.

Staring at that hand, Lu Zhou fell into deep thought.

Speaking of which, since he solved Goldbach's conjecture and his mathematics level broke through LV6, it has been too long since he has challenged a higher mountain in mathematics.

Thinking of this, Lu Zhou suddenly smiled and held the extended right hand.

"That sounds like fun."

The Millennium Conundrum...

That does sound like a lot of fun.

Like Professor Fefferman, he really doesn't have much confidence in taking on this difficult problem alone.

But the combination of two geniuses is completely different.

"Haha, I'm very glad to reach an agreement with you!" Professor Fefferman shook Lu Zhou's hand vigorously, and said happily, "It seems that there is one less unsolved mystery in this world."

Lu Zhou was not as optimistic as he was, but just smiled lightly.

"I hope it goes so well."

Just as the two reached a consensus, the classroom boiled like a pot of boiling water.

"Oh God..."

A freckle-faced Caucasian guy took out his mobile phone, excitedly "clicked" a photo of the two, and couldn't wait to record this exciting scene.

The two masters decided to work together to overcome the Navier-Stokes equation!

it sounds like...

So fucking awesome!

If they really did it, everyone sitting in the classroom at this moment will undoubtedly become witnesses to history!

And this photo will also record this historic moment!

...

After reaching a consensus on cooperative research with Professor Fefferman, the subject of "Existence and smoothness of solutions to three-dimensional incompressible Navier-Stokes equations" was officially opened at the Institute for Advanced Study.

The name of the research group is very easy to remember, only two short letters - "NS".

As for the method of cooperation, the two decided after discussion that they decided to adopt the traditional research method of "separate independent thinking and regular exchange of results".

On the other hand, on the second day after the official opening of the "NS" research group, the newly added small particle accelerator of the "He-3" research group finally arrived.

In the end, Lazersson chose the old equipment of Brookhaven National Laboratory. Although CERN was also considered, because CERN's small accelerator needs to be declared to customs, it takes a lot of time to go through the process. And Brookhaven National Laboratory is in New York, and the other party is also happy to get rid of these obsolete equipment.

However, although it is a small particle accelerator, it is also "small" in the sense of a laboratory. After the real thing arrives, it will take up a lot of space in the laboratory.

After all, the initial velocity of particles leaving the accelerator is determined by the strength of the confinement magnetic field and the radius of the orbit.

The theoretical strength of the newly arrived accelerator confining electromagnetic field can reach 1T, and the maximum radius after deployment exceeds five meters. It took the "He-3" project team five days to complete the assembly.

Moreover, Professor Lazersson mounted the horse himself, led the engineers in the laboratory to work overtime, and urged the rush to assemble it.

Under normal circumstances, it would take at least a month for this group of engineers to assemble this thing. This speed can be said to be quite fast.

In the PPPL laboratory, Professor Lazersson was wearing a hard hat, and while using professional equipment to check the circuit status of the superconducting coil, he asked Lu Zhou who was standing behind him without looking back.

"why?"

Lu Zhou, who was watching their construction with great interest, raised his eyebrows slightly.

"what why?"

"This technology won't get you any patents. And even if you ignore the patent issues and produce it, it is doomed not to sell like a cryo-electron microscope. I would even bet that the lab willing to pay for this equipment would never More than ten."

This question is also a question that Professor Lazersson has been puzzled by.

Even though he already knew how rich this mathematics professor was, he didn't understand his motivation for doing so.

Just for a Nobel Prize?

This is too superficial.

Lu Zhou thought for a while, then suddenly smiled and said, "For the glory of the human mind... is that reason enough?"

Eyes widened, Professor Lazersson opened his mouth, unable to speak a word.

After a long time, he silently gave a thumbs up.

"There are only three Chinese scholars that I admire in this world, and you are the most..."

Professor Lazersson thought for a while, and seemed to be thinking about what words to use to describe it.

young?

It seems not solemn enough.

clever?

That's not enough respect for the other two.

After waiting for a long time, he didn't get the word. Lu Zhou, who was sold out for a long time, couldn't wait.

"Most what?"

After holding back for a while, Lazersson thought of a suitable adjective.

"The most... the rich and self-willed one."

Lu Zhou: "..."

What is "the richest wayward"?

Doesn't he have a more commendable merit?

Such as IQ, such as knowledge, such as handsome...

Which one is not more appropriate and grounded than being rich?

...

After the equipment was assembled, the experiment was scheduled to take place two days later.

That's two days before Christmas.

If the experiment works, everyone can have a merry Christmas in comfort.

If the experiment fails...

Of course Christmas is still there.

It's just that the meaning of the holiday will no longer be to relax, but to adjust the state of mind.

They have no time to substantially modify the experiment, leaving only this opportunity for the "He-3" project team.

If they can't grasp it, they will have to wait until the Helix 7-X inspection in June next year to reschedule a new test plan.

And this also means that they will have to waste half a year waiting.

However, Lu Zhou is very optimistic.

Especially for the re-improved atomic gun, he is full of confidence.

A confining magnetic field of 1T is absolutely sufficient.

Both his intuition and his calculations are telling him this.

In this anxious and expectant waiting.

Finally, the "He-3" project team officially ushered in the day of the experiment...
