The next day, Shen Qi was invited to visit and give lectures at the Morningside Mathematics Center in Zhongguancun.

This was arranged in advance and executed as planned today.

The Morningside Mathematics Center was jointly founded in 1996 by the Academy of Sciences and a Hong Kong real estate group, and its headquarters building is located in the Academy of Sciences.

The Princeton Institute for Advanced Study is a well-known business model, it was invested and built by a wealthy businessman brother and sister in New Jersey, and is not affiliated with any university or under the jurisdiction of the U.S. government, and is a completely independent academic research institution.

Drawing on the successful model of the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, the Morningside Mathematics Center is a semi-independent private academic research institution funded by the Academy of Sciences and funded by the Hong Kong Real Estate Group to build buildings and recruit mathematical talents.

Because it is semi-independent and semi-private, there are no hard and fast research indicators for the Morningside Mathematics Center, and researchers here do not have to worry about the number of papers this year not reaching the target and not being rated for professional titles.

They receive a fixed salary every month from a foundation set up by a Hong Kong real estate owner, live for free in an apartment built by a Hong Kong real estate owner, and have no worries about food and clothing without hard tasks, and the full-time mathematics researchers at the Morningside Mathematics Center find a paradise in the noisy metropolis.

The "Morningside Mathematics Award" established by the Morningside Mathematics Center is known as the "Chinese Fields Medal", which is the same Chinese mathematics award as the Hua Luogeng Mathematics Award, the Chern Mathematics Award, and the Zhong Jiaqing Mathematics Award.

The Morningside Mathematics Center is particularly keen to invite academic experts to give lectures and lectures, and the experts are also very face-saving.

Fields Medal winners Edward Witten, Laurent Lafferg, Bocherz, and Chiu Chengtong, Nobel Laureates in Physics, Gross, Cortez, O'Shea, and Stephen Hawking, have visited and lectured at the Morningside Mathematics Center.

Today it was Shen Qi's turn.

Yanda is not far from the Morningside Mathematics Center, and both belong to the Dazhongguancun area.

The Hong Kong real estate boss happened to be in the capital to talk about a big business these days, and he heard that Shen Qi was going to visit and give lectures at the center, so he sent three Alpha to Yanda to pick up Shen Qi.

The black Elfa opened the way, the white one behind the hall, and Shen Qi sat in the silver car in the middle.

This Hong Kong real estate tycoon is very concerned about the construction of scientific undertakings in the three regions of the Taiwan Strait, and he and his father have burned a lot of money for scientific undertakings in the mainland and Hong Kong for decades, but they have only invested but not produced.

Although he could not recover a penny of investment costs in the academic field, the other businesses of the Hong Kong tycoons in the three places across the Taiwan Strait were smooth sailing, and the scale of business expanded several times.

As the main investors of the Morningside Mathematics Center, the Hong Kong tycoon and the director of the center led all the researchers to stand outside the lobby of the center building, waiting for the arrival of Fields Medal winner Shen Qi.

Because of the traffic jam, Shen Qi was half an hour late, but this did not affect everyone's enthusiasm.

Accompanied by the Hong Kong boss and the director of the center, Shen Qi visited the center building and spoke highly of the center's hardware facilities and academic facilities: "Director Kuang, Director Wu, the conditions here are so good that the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton cannot compare with our center. ”

Professor Shen laughed, the hardware facilities of our center may be a little newer and more advanced, but the software is very different from the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton. "Director Wu is a pragmatic scholar and a mathematician with a rigorous style.

"Professor Shen is here, and the gap is closed. "Hong Kong boss Kwong Dong cares about the scientific cause of the motherland and maintains enough respect for the famous scientists.

"Don't dare to be. Shen Qi smiled and waved his hand.

Kuang Dong took Shen Qi to the front desk, and a beautiful guest book was placed on the stage.

Kuang Dong handed Shen Qi a signature pen and made a gesture of please: "Please ask Professor Shen to give me words." ”

Shen Qi took the pen and slowly flipped through the guest book with interest.

Qiu Chengtong has been here, and Mr. Qiu's message is: Clear conscience, sincerity is spiritual--Qiu Chengtong.

The French mathematician Laurent Laffogue came, he wrote in French, Shen Qi couldn't understand it, Kuang Dong turned it to Shen Qi: "Mr. Laffogo's message is that a thinker is a genius." ”

This was said by Maupassant. Shen Qi continued to turn to the next page, the message on this page was in English, and there was only one signature, Edward Witten.

The coolest thing is Witten, the winner of the Filipino Award, Laverg, copied a famous quote from Maupassant, and Witten simply didn't write anything, signed a big name and finished the job.

Kwong Dong said: "Mr. Hawking came to visit and give lectures at the center in 2004, but unfortunately, he did not leave any words. ”

What can Mr. Hawking do with his physical condition...... Shen Qi turned to a certain page and let out a "huh", showing curiosity.

The style of the message on this page is very different from that of Witten, and the pages are filled with dense numbers arranged according to some mathematical rule:

6，5，0，0...... 0，0

1，6，5，0...... 0，0

......

0，0，0，0...... 1，6

Underneath the last line of numbers is an English signature: . Borcherds

"Skin, you're very happy?" Shen Qi stared at the English signature and laughed.

"This page is a message from Bocherz, which is a determinant, and Mr. Bocherz gives us a problem. Kwong Dong was enthusiastic to explain.

Shen Qi was a little surprised: "Dong Kuang, you should be the one with the highest level of mathematics among billionaires, and you even know determinants." ”

"I went to university in the UK, majoring in finance. ”

"I see, finance majors are about studying mathematics. ”

British mathematician Bocherz, who won the 1994 Fields Medal for his Moonlight conjecture, visited the Morningside Mathematics Center and gave a lecture and left a page of determinant messages composed of numbers.

You skin me too.

Shen Qi's heart was uplifted, although his heart was skinny, his eyes were extremely sharp.

Shen Qi, who was attentive, quickly scanned the square of digital ciphers left behind by Bocherz, which reminded him of the finale question when he participated in the IMO in high school.

At that time, the demon group array made Shen Qi on the verge of collapse, but fortunately, he had an idea and used the determinant language to dissolve the demon group array, and finally won the gold medal with a perfect IMO score of +1 point.

At this time today, Shen Qi was fighting with Bocherz thousands of miles away, he stood with his hands in his hands, bowed his head to break the formation, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, which was an extremely brain-burning performance.

There was silence in the lobby, and Dong Kuang, Director Wu and the others held their breath and did not dare to speak, for fear of affecting Shen Qi's work.

This determinant is actually not difficult to crack, and Director Wu and the math researchers have already calculated the standard answer.

But Shen Qi wanted to break through the formation on a whim, so he could only do whatever he wanted, who made him the big man of the Philippine Award.

Of course, there are also highlights, without making a draft to break the formation with bare hands, the complex determinant of mental arithmetic is still very difficult.

After 30 seconds, Shen Qi's tightly knit brows relaxed, he wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, and asked everyone: "Is it May 3, 2005 when Bocherz wrote this column?"

This......

God!

Kwong Dong was surprised: "Mr. Bocherz visited and lectured at the center on May 3, 2005, and before he left on May 3, he wrote this columnar message. Professor Shen, Master Shen, is like a god!"

Shen Qi smiled faintly: "Then I'm right, what Bocherz wrote on this page is that I, Bocherz, came here on May 3, 2005." This determinant is actually a date, which is expressed in the language of determinant. ”

Director Wu humbly asked: "Professor Shen, we will calculate the standard answer to this determinant, but I don't know, how did it calculate on May 3?"

Shen Qi said: "After unfolding, n takes 3. ”

"Why do you want to take 3?" Director Wu was puzzled, and then suddenly realized: "Could it be...... The long-lost third algorithm of Adamagabian?"

Shen Qi nodded: "That's right, that's it." ”

Director Wu and other math researchers were stunned: "Professor Shen, you actually made such a huge amount of calculations in less than one minute, and you are still pure mental arithmetic! God, it's amazing!"
