Chapter 042 Olympiad National Team Training Camp
Shen Qi took the quick-acting heart-saving pill and fed it to Secretary Liu.
The movement was too loud, and Xiao Wen, an assistant in the office next door, ran over.
When Xiao Wen saw this situation, he asked Cangtian speechlessly: "Director Liu, are you ...... Shen Qi, it's you again!"
Shen Qi looked dazed: "Why do you want to say it again? I just came to report, and it's only been an hour." β
Director Liu waved his hand with difficulty, and Zhiwu said, "No...... Don't talk about it......"
Xiao Wen helped Director Liu to calm down, and said very worriedly: "Director Liu, take the medicine, I'll drive your car to take you home." β
"No...... Don't ......" Director Liu shook his head and said, "Xiaowen...... You send him...... Lodging...... I think...... Quietly ......"
"That's okay, Director Liu, you just got sick, it's okay to rest in the office, if you have something to say, I'll be on call. Xiao Wen took Shen Qi's suitcase, took Shen Qi out of the office, and walked towards the dormitory of the training team members.
"Director Liu's heart is not good and cannot be stimulated. Xiao Wen said to Shen Qi.
"I know, I must pay attention in the future, it scared me to death just now. Shen Qi said with palpitations.
Xiao Wen asked, "By the way, what did you stimulate Director Liu?"
"As soon as we met, he asked me to do the question, and if I couldn't do it, I wasn't allowed to eat, and then I ......," Shen Qi explained the general story.
"Hey, Shen Qi, I don't know what to say about you, forget it, I'll take you to the dormitory to put your luggage, and then go to the cafeteria to eat. "Xiaowen is not very old, not tall, his appearance is not good, and his personality is relatively easy-going.
"Brother Wen, are you a college student?" Shen Qi is a high school student of 1.75 meters, which is a little taller than Xiao Wen, who is 1.7 meters tall.
"Beijing Institute of Technology, a junior student, started his senior year in September, and is currently interning at the Chinese Mathematical Society to accumulate some social experience. β
"Oh, is Brother Wen from the Department of Mathematics?"
"No, I studied information engineering, and the mathematics major at Beijing Institute of Technology is not strong. β
"Information engineering also has to learn advanced mathematics, line generation or something, right?"
"Of course, high mathematics and line generation are compulsory courses. But I'm ashamed, my level of mathematics may not be as good as Shen Qi, I don't understand the boundary conditions of the extremely small and indefinite integrals of Lagrange, and you do. Since ancient times, heroes have come out of youth, and we college students can't accept old age. β
"Brother Wen is modest, I am better at math, and other subjects are very average. β
The two walked and chatted, and soon arrived at the dormitory.
There is a small cafeteria on the first floor, and dormitories above the second floor.
The dormitory is a two-person room, with a bunk in the room, a separate bathroom, a balcony, a water heater, an air conditioner, a wardrobe, a computer desk, and the whole building is covered with WIFI.
After Shen Qi entered the 307 dormitory, he found that the room was clean and tidy, and no one lived in it.
"Where's my roommate?" asked Shen Qi.
"You don't have roommates, you live alone. There are 21 people in this training team, and you are the last one to report, so you don't have roommates for the time being. Xiao Wen put Shen Qi's suitcase away.
"It's nice to be alone and quiet. Shen Qi put his backpack on the bed, took the key to the dormitory door from Xiao Wen's hand, received a meal card, and went downstairs to eat in the cafeteria.
That night, Shen Qi was reading a book alone in the dormitory.
"My math index is level 5, according to the system's setting, level 5 belongs to the professional level, so I will try the water with a professional-level question. β
Shen Qi found a question that he had never dared to touch before, but tonight, he tried it.
"Some numbers have special properties that cannot be represented as the product of two smaller numbers, such as 2, 3, 5, 7, and so on. Such a number is called a prime number (or prime number).
In the field of pure and applied mathematics, prime numbers play an important role, and all prime number distributions do not follow any laws.
150 years ago, the German mathematician Riemann hypothesized that the frequency of prime numbers is closely related to a complex function, which is called the zeta function, and Riemann believed that all prime numbers can be expressed by the zeta function according to certain laws. To this day, the Riemann hypothesis has not been fully proven. β
Shen Qi tried to crack the Riemann hypothesis, one of the world's seven unsolved mathematical problems, of course, it is more accurate to call it the "Big Six", and the PoincarΓ© conjecture was cracked by the Russian mathematician Perelman in 2006.
Faced with Riemann's hypothesis, Shen Qi was in a daze for three hours, and then took a shower and went to bed, he felt like a fool.
"It's floating, I'm still drifting a little. Shen Qi lay on the lower bunk, staring at the planks on the upper bunk.
It is true that it has been smooth sailing and invincible recently, but in the face of real mathematical problems, Shen Qi feels that he has no way to do it, and he can't even touch the threshold.
Solving the millennium problem of the Riemann hypothesis at a level 5 math level is tantamount to a young pot friend who has just learned to walk and race against Bolt and defeat Bolt. Inexistent.
"I don't know what kind of experience it is to be promoted to level 15, maybe only a level 15 level of mathematics can solve the thousand-year problem......" Shen Qi fell asleep.
The next day, the 20XX Mathematical Olympiad National Training Team, a total of 21 members, completed the first assembly.
The young faces were a little childish, saying that they were immature and they looked more mature than most middle school students, and the twenty-one team members were all boys, not a single girl, this was a monk team.
"Ladies and gentlemen, in 15 days, we will send troops to the United Kingdom to represent the Chinese Olympiad team in this IMO. The deputy team leader said loudly.
"You should know the significance and weight of the IMO, yes, the Mathematical Olympiad, it is the Olympics of mathematics. β
"But not everyone will be able to go to England, and the strongest six of you will take on the mission of bringing glory to your country and enjoy the glory of incomparable proportions. β
"Opportunities will not be given to anyone in vain, dreams need to be fought for by yourselves. For the next 15 days, the team will arrange a test every day, and the scores will be recorded, and the six people with the highest total score will become official members of the national team of this Olympiad. β
"Okay, I've said everything I need to say, and then I will be taught by the geometry coach Mr. Su. β
The deputy team leader handed over the scene to Mr. Su, who was responsible for intensive training in the field of geometry.
The scope of IMO competitions generally includes algebra, geometry, number theory, combinatorics and probability theory, and the Chinese Olympiad national team has arranged professional coaches for each branch of the competition.
Mr. Su, who teaches geometry, gave a lecture in the morning, and at noon, the team members had a meal and lunch break for a total of 1 hour, and in the afternoon, another coach was changed to talk about number theory.
The intensity of training is very high, and the coach doesn't care whether the players can understand or not, whether they absorb and digest it, I will talk about mine, and it is your own business to understand whether you listen or not.
Shen Qi doesn't like the forced indoctrination of the national team very much, and he prefers the style of their provincial team.
It was 6:30 p.m. after the intensive training of the day, followed by the test of the day.
The test lasted two hours, and at half-past eight, the exhausted lads could finally have dinner.
In the early hours of the morning, a team member had a fever of 39.7 degrees, foaming at the mouth and was unconscious, and was rushed to the hospital for treatment.
On the second day, another team member couldn't bear the devil's training, dizzy and fainted, and then he was rushed to the hospital for rescue.
Witnessing the departure of two teammates one after another, Shen Qi discovered a conspiracy: "I know, why do you want to conduct 15 days of devil training, because this national training team has 21 members, one a day, and the last six people alive will represent China in the IMO international arena......"
