After getting out of the system space, Lu Zhou stands up from the sofa and is about to make a phone call with Professor Carlson of Cray Research Institute, but a string of bubbles pop up on his mobile phone.

AI: [host, there are guests coming. ? (^? ^ *)]

guest?

Who will visit him at this time?

Lu Zhou picked up his eyebrows doubtfully, but he didn't ask. He got up and went back to the cloakroom to change his clothes to meet people, and then went to the porch.

Standing outside the yard, director Li is reaching out to ring the doorbell, but the iron door in front of him opens with a squeak, giving way to the path leading to the main door.

Not far away the door opened, standing at the door of the boat smiled and said hello.

"Director Li? What brings you here? "

He took his hand from the doorbell and said with a smile.

"I heard that you have returned to Jinling from Shanghai. Am I not here to see you? Walk around, go in and say, "don't stand outside and talk."

Looking at director Li, who bypassed himself and went to the room consciously, Lu Zhou was slightly stunned.

Although there's nothing wrong with saying that, I always feel that my lines have been robbed

After returning to the living room, Lu Zhou went to the kitchen and brought a cup of coffee and a cup of tea, put it on the tea table, and then sat opposite to Director Li.

Just as he was about to ask the old man about a business trip to Jinling from Shangjing to find out what he was looking for, director Li was the first to talk to him with a smile.

"Every time I come to you, I want to ask. Your gate is very high-tech, so I'm not afraid to open it wrong?"

Don't worry, even if you recognize the wrong person, Xiaoai is absolutely impossible to admit it.

in the heart so silently make complaints about a sentence, Lu Zhou smiled and said.

"Now face recognition technology is very advanced What can I do for you? "

He didn't believe it. This guy went to Jinling to see himself.

Director Li smiled and said, "are you busy now?"

"Not busy Or busy, what's the matter? "

In fact, after the completion of the Z particle project, the land boat is basically idle, not only not busy, but also planning to go to France.

However, as soon as he said half of what he said, he noticed the kind smile on the face of chief Li, so he immediately changed his mouth.

After so many years of fighting with the old man, he was so familiar with the smile.

As long as I meet you, I'm in trouble for help.

After two attempts, director Li made a helpless expression and said frankly.

"Well, I'll tell you straight. It's like this Didn't you say at the end of last year that you were going to come out with the whole good thing when you were finished? Now can you tell me what it is? "

Lu Zhou: "...?"

Good stuff?

What a good thing.

Leng Leng ground looks at director Li, Lu Zhou hesitated next, open mouth to ask a way.

"Is that the case?"

Seeing that Lu Zhou didn't even admit it, director Li said in a hurry.

"There must be! Have you forgot? When I came to you at the end of last year to talk about imcrc, you told me to keep it secret for the time being. Don't fool people. "

As soon as I heard that I was talking to myself about imcrc at the end of the year, Lu Zhou immediately remembered it and was embarrassed to smile.

It seems that this is true.

But to be honest, in fact, at that time, he thought that the task would be completed with 30000 points. He was afraid that he could exchange a lot of good things, so he said casually, mainly to get rid of him.

The virtual reality technology that was made last time hasn't been completely digested. He hasn't really figured out what to exchange this time.

"Oh, that thing, I remember - no, how could I forget such an important thing," continued Lu Zhou, who coughed with a dry cough and looked at director Li, who was crying and laughing. "But I have to prepare for it for a while. I will tell you when I get the news."

"Academician Lu, what you sell here is a little It's a bit too much. At least tell me what it is? "

If I knew I needed to sell you?

Although I think so, of course, it's impossible for a land boat to say so.

"For various reasons, please allow me to keep this matter secret for a while. In short You can wait for a while longer, it won't let you wait too long. "

He also didn't give director Li the chance to continue talking. Lu Zhou immediately turned the conversation around and turned the topic to a place of 18000 miles. He said with a embarrassed smile.

"By the way, I happen to think of one thing. I'm going to France recently. Would you like to have a look over there Find a way to arrange it for me? "

Director Li: "..."After so many years in this position, he is the first time to see such a cheeky

……

In Paris in February, although the winter is coming to an end, the chill in the air has not yet disappeared. Most of the pedestrians in the street wear down clothes or use scarves to wrap themselves tightly.

Especially in this uninhabited suburb, the street outside the window is so quiet that the air here is even colder.

However, for Molina, this quiet environment is no better.

She stood in front of the wall painting in a black velvet coat and looked at it like a sculpture.

"Nearly 30 years..."

From standing in the morning to now, it took a long time to spit out this sentence from her mouth. She continued to talk to herself in a dreamy voice towards the painting.

"Please, please tell me, what should I do next..."

For seven years, she has been striving for the goal of Riemann conjecture.

Although she knew that her efforts would not have results, and she was prepared to never see the problem solved in her life, she never expected that it would end like this.

Yes.

It's all over.

She did not know what kind of mood she was in at this moment.

In the whole process of proving the paper, she could not see any result of her own, as if the methods she worked out were irrelevant.

However, when those formulas are written on the whiteboard, they are so smooth and natural that they make her feel the same after seven years.

After she returned to France from St. Petersburg, she locked herself in the house. She didn't go back to Princeton or contact Princeton's friends. She just asked the dean for a long vacation, and the whole person disappeared from the mathematics circle, without any news.

In fact, what does it matter if you have yourself?

She thought about it more than once.

After all, the achievements she has made are nothing but insignificant things now

The hands held together curled up in the sleeves and looked at the back of the granddaughter. The old man in his pajama leaned against the handrail of the stairway, his muddy eyes filled with complexity and a trace of guilt.

As if after a long ideological struggle, he finally made up his mind and bit his teeth, saying what he always wanted to say, but never said.

“…… There's something I've been keeping from you. "

No turning back, said Molina in a calm voice.

“…… If it's your story with grandma Elsa next door, you don't have to tell it. We all know it. "

"no, not that," the old man's face was red. The old man gave a dry cough. The silence lasted for a long time. Finally, he opened his mouth and said, "... In fact, our family is not Nils Abel's descendant at all. "

Hearing her grandfather's words, Molina had a warm look in her eyes.

"I know you're comforting me. I'm fine. Don't worry about me."

Grandfather: " No, I'm telling the truth. "

A serious look at my grandfather.

This time, Molina froze.

Although she didn't believe it instinctively, seeing that it wasn't joking or being confused, she gradually began to realize that it might not be lying or comforting her.

With a trembling voice, she asked, swallowing hard.

“…… What do you mean? "

Now that he has made up his mind, the old man does not hesitate any more, and puts his head down.

"I was going to take the secret into the coffin. In fact, our family has nothing to do with Mr. Abel. I have never been to Norway, and my father and grandfather have never been to Norway In fact, I was going to go when I just retired, but I finally gave up. "

Molina: "then my last name..."

"My name is Abel But there are a lot of people named Abel in France, aren't there? I remember when I was in middle school, there were two in our class. So are you, so is your father. Why are you so straight? Abel died in his twenties, never married. It's all written in the history of mathematics. Don't you people who study mathematics read it? "

Molina's face looks like she's going crazy. She looks back at the oil painting on the wall and stares at her eldest brother.

"Is this painting a fake? And the notes in the collection room... "

The old man was full of guilt and whispered, "those things are not fake After all, it's not a famous work. It's not worth much money. Including the math notes he took when he was young, and the difficult things he wrote, I bought them from a collector when I was young. I was going to donate it to the museum, but I met with all kinds of accidents and finally put it on hold. "Faltering back half a step, Molina shook her head, looked at her grandfather, and said with a broken face: " I don't understand. Why do you lie? "

Why did you lie to me so long?

"When your father didn't do well in math, I pointed to the oil painting and said casually. You really shamed our surname. Then I don't know how, his math scores suddenly jumped up. I was puzzled at first, but it was a good thing anyway, and I didn't pay much attention to it. Until one day he suddenly came to me and asked me if my family was the descendant of Professor Abel. I I didn't control my mouth either. "

It seemed that he was ashamed of his lies. Looking at his granddaughter, the old man lowered his eyes and sighed heavily.

"It has been proved that there is no white lie in the world. A lie is a lie, and a lie has to be made up by countless lies. And no matter how perfect it is, how seamless it is, there will be a price in the end. I'm sorry, I just said it casually, but I didn't expect that things would develop like this... "

"If you want to hate, just hate me."

Looking at the murals on the wall, she felt as if something had broken in her heart, and the whole person suddenly collapsed
