At first, there was a bit of fluke in the heart of the land boat. That was the trouble faced by the space elevator project. It was really like what President Li Guangya said. It was just the beginning of everything.

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

Now the location problem has been solved, and then it returns to the design of the space elevator. Even now, not only the design of the space elevator, but also the Penglai project has been included in the project team of the space elevator.

Although I understand Li Guangya's idea that he intends to let go of his work, so much work is on him. As the general consultant of the whole project, Lu Zhou still feels a lot of pressure.

After leaving the Research Institute, Li Guangya, who was sitting in the car, looked like the eyes outside the window, suddenly with a little melancholy.

Inadvertently noticed this point, Wu Shuhua asked casually.

"I thought you would be happy."

"Happy? Of course I'm very happy, "Li Guangya took a strange look at her when he took his eyes back from the window." why do you ask? "

Wu Shuhua shrugged gently and said in a casual tone.

"I don't know. Maybe your expression makes the air heavy."

"Heavy? That's not true, just a little With emotion. "

"Feeling?"

"That's right," sighed Li. "If only a century earlier."

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

Li Guangya smiled and shook his head. "I mean, if I could have been born a century earlier, I would have been born in that magnificent age."

It's worthy of being from that era.

In particular, the last proposal was too much for him.

Wu Shuhua: "...?"

……

In recent days, a message has suddenly spread on the Internet that Pan Asian cooperation plans to build a city on the high seas to serve as an anchor for space elevators.

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

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

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

Although some perplexed why the official spokesperson of Pan Asian cooperation should emphasize this point again and again, the leaders of the major regional alliances were a little relieved to see his firm statement.

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

Talking about this topic, naturally ran to academician Lu, the man in the school.

"Have you heard that academician Lu seems to have graduated from the preparatory course?"

"I've heard that for a long time," a professor said with a smile. "I think it's funny to talk about it. It's not good to give anyone a preparatory course, or academician Lu. Isn't it a superfluous act?"

"It can't be said that, although his academic achievements and talents are obvious to all, now it's a century away from the past, and many things are different from before. He is willing to take the initiative to understand the rules of this era, which is a good thing in any way. "

"I don't deny that," said the professor, perhaps thinking of something. "But I didn't expect that after a century, when he woke up, he could teach mathematics to our students as well as before, or even publish papers in the frontier research fields It feels like 100 years. We haven't made any progress. "

"Science is a step-by-step process. It takes time to accumulate from quantitative change to qualitative change, but it doesn't need to be self defeating," sighed another professor. "But you are also sure that the deeper the research is, the more I think, whether it's mathematics or physics, we may have reached the boundary. If we want to make another breakthrough, I'm afraid we can only make it after we step outside the solar system and have a new understanding of the universe. "

"You are too pessimistic," he continued, looking at him in surprise. The professor sitting opposite took a sip of coffee. "I didn't feel the boundary you mentioned. There are not many things to study For example, the last two generations of controllable fusion, is not it an epoch-making breakthrough? "

"After all, there are only a few people who can surpass their own times. If there is no academician Lu, can we make a breakthrough?"

The coffee drinkers fell silent.

Although they don't need to worry about this kind of thing, it seems that they have some ideas.

A slightly fat math professor who never spoke pushed down his glasses and said in an emotional voice.

"Our academician Lu is really powerful I woke up less than a year later and did a great job. I made the second generation of controllable nuclear fusion. I immediately embarked on the space elevator project to build an orbit with a vertical length of more than 36000 kilometers. If someone says this to me, I'm afraid he's talking in his sleep. ""What do you think? After all, it's a man who stood at the top of the human mind a century ago. "

"It's just a pity His mind is completely out of mathematics now. "

At this point, a group of professors sighed again, sighing for the choice of this rare genius.

Sitting at the coffee table not far away, Professor Sun Jingwen put down his coffee cup and looked at academician Qin Chuan, the dean of several academies, who was sitting opposite, and asked casually.

"Has academician Lu ever said when he will return to teach at school?"

Some looked at his apprentice strangely, Qin Chuan replied.

"I didn't mention What's the matter? "

"It's nothing, it's just some academic problems. I want to ask him for advice, but I can't find any chance," said Sun Jingwen after a moment's silence with hesitation on his face. "You say Will he come back to study mathematics? "

"I'm afraid that he alone knows this problem," the president of Qinyuan smiled, looked out of the window at the students who went back to the dormitory after class in twos and threes, and continued in a relaxed tone. "I was quite attached to this matter before, and I've been trying my best to persuade him to go back to several hospitals and solve more world-wide problems in good years. But after a period of contact with him, I understood a little bit of what he thought

"What do you think..."

"Do you remember the mistakes he picked out in your class when he studied the zero point distribution of Dirichlet L-function in blackboard writing?"

If the ordinary people expose such a short story, most of them will show embarrassed expression on their faces, or even be shameless. However, Professor Sun Jingwen just fell into deep thought and nodded after a long time.

“…… I seem to understand. "

A trace of approval appeared in his eyes. Looking at his Dean Qin, he sighed softly.

"A long time ago, I saw a memoir written by Professor Perelman, which I remember very clearly, he wrote in his memoir."

“…… When we just entered the labyrinth of Hodge's conjecture, my collaborators, Professor Chen and Professor Ji, fell into the dilemma of understanding abstract things. Unlike Poincare's conjecture, it requires more abstract geometry than we can imagine, so that I am in pain and unable to extricate myself. I tried to ask for help, but he didn't answer my question directly, but gave me a meaningful look. "

"Maybe it's just an illusion. Then I vaguely felt that he probably already knew the answer, just to leave the treasure to those who have not yet stepped into the same field as him. I made up my mind that when he came back from Mars, I would ask him for the answer to this question. Until the bad news came from Mars, I stopped thinking of asking for help... "

Retelling the original autobiography, Qinchuan looked at his contemplative student and said with a smile.

"More than anyone, he is looking forward to the progress of mathematics, but what he expects may be a little further than what we expect."

"One's greatness can't make the whole discipline prosperous unless he is willing to share his greatness with others. I think this may be the reason why he chose to point out your argument instead of solving the general Riemann conjecture directly. "

At this moment, sun Jingwen's expressionless face finally showed a touch of emotion.

"You mean The general Riemann conjecture, he has solved it? "

Qin Yuan said with a smile.

"It must be."

"But When is it? Is it frozen for 100 years? It's impossible It's not conscious when it's frozen. "

"When to solve it doesn't really matter," said President Qin, looking at his students. "The key is that he wants to see us solve it."
