Chapter 418: Answer the Millennium Dilemma! (33)
When the outside world was talking about it, Lu Zhou, who was in retreat, turned a deaf ear to the voices of those discussions.
The research was not as smooth as he expected, but he was still full of confidence in the final result.
If the NS equation is compared to a maze, then the distance between him and the end point is only a wall, and it is only a matter of time to bypass it.
There are only seven days left until the end of the month.
Research has entered the most critical link.
Yes or no, it's just a very subtle interval.
At this point, there is no need to wait any longer.
Taking a deep breath, Lu Zhou put the phone on the table, turned on the timer, and set a 168-hour countdown.
While pressing the confirm button, he closed his eyes.
When he opened his eyes again, the sensibility had faded from those dark pupils, and what was left was pure and cold reason.
This sensory enhancement does not stem from the enhancement of calculation ability or the consolidation of logical thinking, but the purest and most direct amplification of numerical intuition.
At this moment, it seems that all the numbers are his partners, and all the images are abstracted into geometric figures...
This long-lost feeling, Lu Zhou is too familiar.
If mathematics is the language of God.
So at this moment, within this ten square field, he is an omnipotent god!
...
On the last day of the deadline for paper submissions at the IMU conference, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and it began to rain heavily before dawn.
It rained until morning without stopping.
Holding an umbrella, Vera, as usual, came to the classroom of Princeton University to perform the duties of a teaching assistant and help Lu Zhou substitute.
Although it's a pity that I haven't been able to meet Professor Lu several times this semester, the students still have a good impression of this teaching assistant who is both good-looking and knowledgeable.
Especially after the Kakutani conjecture was proved, Vera's popularity among these undergraduates skyrocketed. Many students, even those who have not taken number theory courses, would come here to take classes.
As the class progressed to the end, according to the usual practice, Vera left time for the students to ask questions.
At this time, an Asian girl with long black hair raised her hand and asked.
"Miss Puyou, may I ask if Professor Lu Zhou's research has any results?"
Students in ordinary universities may not pay attention to the trends of the IMU conference, but Princeton is not an ordinary university after all.
Especially for those students who have taken number theory, which is a hell-level course, their expectation for the future is usually to enter the Institute for Advanced Study to study pure mathematics, and it is quite normal to pay attention to the trends of the IMU conference.
It is precisely because of this that the girl's question touched the hearts of almost everyone in the classroom.
Everyone is very curious about what stage Professor Lu's research on the NS equation has reached.
Facing those curious eyes, Vera hesitated for two seconds, and finally shook her head slightly.
"I don't know. I'm afraid only your Professor Lu himself can answer this question."
Another tall boy with curly hair raised his hand and asked.
"Miss Puyouy, do you think he can successfully answer the existence of solutions to the NS equation?"
Hearing this question, Vera replied without thinking. "sure."
The Asian girl who asked the question earlier asked curiously, "Why?"
Facing that curious gaze, Vera smiled lightly, and lightly stacked the lesson plans in her hands on the multimedia desk.
After that, she continued with a firm tone.
"Because I believe he can."
This is not derived from some mathematical logic, but purely a belief in someone.
Of course, this belief is not without reason.
Whether it's a report at Berkeley, or the proof of Kakutani's conjecture, or the upcoming 45-minute report of the International Congress of Mathematicians...
Everything she has now, everything she can do, for the self who used to sit alone in the corner of the lecture hall, the self who could only look up at the world on the lecture stage with longing eyes, the self who could only use part-time jobs It is simply unimaginable for me to spend the time to delve into those interesting problems.
All of this is like a miracle.
She believes that he who can bring this miracle and power to her is omnipotent.
At this moment, the rain outside the window suddenly stopped.
The sun passed through the gaps in the dark clouds, drawing a colorful trail in the sky.
Lu Zhou, who was under the same sky as Princeton, also saw the rainbow.
I don't know when I stopped the pen in my hand, quietly looked at Lu Zhou outside the window, and was fascinated by the rainbow that suddenly appeared.
In the silence after the rain, the corners of his taut mouth suddenly evoked a smile, and the pupils that were originally filled with pure reason also gradually returned to the original sensibility.
At this time, the screen of the mobile phone he placed on the corner of the table lit up again, and the bell sounded to reset the timer to zero.
After turning off the alarm, Lu Zhou picked up the phone and unlocked the screen, only to see dozens of missed calls hanging on the screen.
Some of these calls were made a week ago, and some were made not long ago.
Now, he has enough time to deal with these calls...
After selecting the number with the most incoming calls, Lu Zhou dialed back.
As soon as the phone was connected, an anxious voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Oh God, if you don't answer the phone, I might drive up to your house and knock on your door. Do you know what day it is?"
Professor Fefferman has always been quite easy-going. This is the first time Lu Zhou has seen him. It turns out that he also has a violent side.
Moved the phone half an inch away, Lu Zhou thought for a while, and answered in an uncertain tone: "Walmart supermarket fruit sale?"
Fefferman: "..."
The moment he heard this sentence, he almost vomited blood in anger.
Taking a deep breath and suppressing the impatience in his heart, Fefferman said to the phone almost in a roaring voice.
"Deadline! The deadline for conference submissions! According to the requirements of this IMU conference, the invited speakers must disclose the content of the report two months before, and upload the paper within one month after confirming the content of the report... Seriously, You shouldn't have forgotten about it, have you?"
"How could I have forgotten this?" Lu Zhou laughed, and continued embarrassedly, "...But I remember, isn't it possible to postpone the uploading of papers?"
After a moment of silence, Professor Fefferman sighed: "...change the content of the report, there is still a chance now."
Although it is possible to delay the uploading of papers, he does not see any point in doing so.
Instead of acknowledging your failure until the last second, start right now.
Anyway, besides the NS equation, he has many other achievements that can be reported at the report meeting.
However, Lu Zhou obviously didn't appreciate it.
"Why change?"
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a minute.
With a tremor in his voice, Professor Fefferman asked in an unbelievable tone.
"...Have you figured it out?"
"The NS equation can't be solved, at least now we can't find its general solution," Lu Zhou smiled while holding the phone in another hand, and at the moment when Professor Fefferman's mood fell to the bottom, he affirmed The tone continued, "But I can tell you responsibly that its solution exists and is smooth!"
