Science and art, reason and sensibility...

Xu Mang thinks that Xiao Man's thinking is wrong, in fact, she can't be blamed for this, most people will think that science is very rational, and art is very emotional, but this is obviously a misunderstanding that does not understand science and art.

"Cut!"

"You know a fart!" Yang Xiaoman pouted, and said with an unconvinced face: "You don't have any artistic cells in you, I see... You've only got art, you big fool... Do you know what an artist is?"

“...”

Xu Mang stretched his neck and said seriously: "First of all... Art is not absolutely emotional, and in the third year of high school... I have conducted a systematic study of the entire history of art, and I have found that in fact, it is actually a lot of rational deduction. ”

"Senior year of high school?"

"This is the reason why I sleep every day in the third year of high school?" Yang Xiaoman said angrily.

"Ahem!" Xu Mang coughed lightly and said seriously: "Can you not divert the topic? I'm talking about the history of the development of art, do you know why Renaissance painting is so brilliant, why the level has been raised so high?"

"Of course I know!" Yang Xiaoman said disdainfully: "There is a very complicated relationship here, first of all, after the eleventh century, with the recovery and development of the economy, the rise of cities and the improvement of living standards, people gradually changed their pessimistic and hopeless attitude towards real life in the past, and began to pursue the pleasures of secular life. ”

And these are contrary to the teachings of a certain religion, when in the fourteenth century... The Italian city-states emerged as a force against a certain religion. Xiao Man said: "In fact, it is a new movement of the bourgeoisie against feudalism! A wave of ideological emancipation." ”

"That's not right!" Xu Mang shook his head: "This is only part of the reason, the improvement of painting in the Renaissance is actually related to the geometry and anatomy behind it, and the progress of these two disciplines has improved the improvement of painting at that time." ”

"Leonardo da Vinci did a lot of anatomy, and he was very clear about the structure of the human body, and if you look at his paintings, you will find it more accurate. Xu Mang paused and continued: "Do you know impressionism?"

Impressionism?

Yang Xiaoman was stunned for a moment, and frowned slightly: "Impressionism... It is an important art school in the history of Western painting, when Monet created an oil painting, which was attacked by the academics, jokingly calling these painters impressionists, and then ... That's it. ”

"Hey?" Xu Mang was a little surprised, and said cautiously, "When did you pay so much attention to painting?"

"After pregnancy..."Yang Xiaoman pouted and said indifferently: "My child is a person who wants to become an artist, if even his wife doesn't know art, how can he cultivate it in the future? Like you, teach some messy things?"

"Hey, hey..."

"You can teach him how to make money. Xu Mang smiled and said, "Shenhao Xu Yang." ”

"Get out!"

"Hehe~" Xu Mang hurriedly said: "Do you know why Impressionism is so vague? For example, when you say Monet, their words are always unclear, actually... That's because the photographic technology of the time hit the entire field of painting, and a new way of painting was needed. ”

"Impressionist paintings do not depict the object itself, but the light and shadow of the object, just to capture the light and shadow. Xu Mang said: "If you just capture light and shadow, there is no concept of lines, and without lines, it will look blurry." ”

"But it can be given a more immersive feeling. Xu Mang gently grabbed Xiao Man's delicate hand, and said with a smile: "Picasso's cubism, why put a person's front and side on the same plane. ”

"A lot of people think this is very strange and imaginative... Actually, it's not!" Xu Mang suddenly said seriously: "Picasso is trying to answer a question, how to use a two-dimensional painting plane to express the integrity of a three-dimensional object. ”

"It's a philosophical question to ponder... What Dadaism, surrealism, symbolism, etc., there is a lot of rational thinking and philosophical thinking in it. Xu Mang said: "So... The expression of art is emotional, but its core content is rational. ”

Defeated!

It's really a complete failure!

Yang Xiaoman was so angry in his heart, why would this guy be so bored to study the relationship between art and disciplines, and he studied it so thoroughly, compared horizontally and vertically, he was really inferior to him in parenting.

It's annoying!

Could it be that I can't educate the lady of the sky?

In Xiao Man's mind, no matter whether he is a son or a daughter in the future, his achievements must surpass himself and Xu Mang, but it seems very difficult to think about it, after all, his and Xu Mang's position is too high, and he still wants to be an artist.

However, I never imagined that the artist could not bypass science.

Become a scientist?

No way!

For Xiao Man, her husband is a scientist, and he is also a very powerful scientist, if his son is a scientist, he may not even be able to find a daughter-in-law, and if his daughter becomes a scientist, it is estimated that the same is true.

"What's wrong?"

"Isn't it a little cold?" Xu Mang asked with a blank expression when he felt Xiao Man shivering.

"Nothing... It's just that I'm trembling with anger. Yang Xiaoman sighed, turned to look at Xu Mang, and said seriously: "Husband... Can you sign an agreement? That is, one day my mother and I beat you to death, and you were killed voluntarily. ”

Xu Mang: ???

This... It's a bit fierce!

What kind of overlord agreement is this, this is clearly a fateful agreement.

"Ahem..."Xu Mang gently hugged Xiao Man into his arms and said softly, "Don't make trouble..."

"Humph!"

"Every day you know that you are angry with me. Although Yang Xiaoman likes the feeling of being embraced by this one and has a sense of security, he feels upset when he sees his face.

...

Fuda,

Mathematics Department Building,

Director Ouyang was visiting a certain community, which is a first-class mathematical research forum in China, and the first post was about a genius abroad who spent ten years cracking a mathematical conjecture.

The owner of the post was very attentive and translated the article in great detail, which attracted the attention of many people in a short time.

The Zone conjecture, a conjecture that has existed for more than forty years, describes how if a unit sphere is completely covered by several bands of balls, their sum will be at least π in width.

This conjecture is very important, and a top mathematician in the past predicted that the solution to this problem would have great practical application value and could promote the advancement of the field of discrete geometry, which was agreed by everyone.

For example, the densest stacking problem, which helps to optimize encoding and correct errors in data transmission, or the well-known four-color theorem, which states that four colors are enough to draw a map on a sphere, so that any two adjacent regions of the map have different colors.

And it led mathematicians to introduce important concepts of graph theory, which have been crucial for many recent developments in chemistry, biology, and computer science, as well as logical systems.

now

The Zone conjecture was finally cracked, but many people were outraged by it, and the genius was so rampant that he threatened that the whole world could not crack it, so it attracted a lot of scolding, but the scolding was scolding, and in fact it was.

Many math experts have participated in the action to crack the zone conjecture and want to prove that they have this strength, including several famous universities around the world, and the mathematics departments of those universities are among the top in the world.

Harvard, Stanford, MIT, Princeton, Cambridge, etc., the strong are like clouds... Without exception, they are studying the Zone conjecture, and there are also several universities in China that have participated in this worldwide movement, but there are many difficulties, and everyone is a stranger, and there is no connection at all.

Director Ouyang was very anxious, he didn't care about this, he felt a little disappointed when he saw that several colleges and universities in China were so disunited, and he went on like this... It's going to fail.

In fact, by this time, it was no longer a simple game, but a mathematical confrontation, and it was obvious ... At present, Huaguo is on the weak side, because the strongest mathematics department in China, the Department of Mathematics of Beijing University... It has been three days since the progress was announced.

Basically, I encountered some big difficulties that I couldn't solve for the time being.

In this regard,

Director Ouyang felt that instead of betting on the Department of Mathematics of Beijing University, it was better to find a giant to come over, maybe there was a chance to surpass, and this giant was Xu Mang, he believed that as long as Xu Mang made a move, let alone surpass... That's for sure.

Isn't that so-called genius claimed to have been successful in cracking in ten years? If it's Xu Mang... I believe that it will be successful in ten days.

At this point,

Director Ouyang is very confident that Xu Mang can give others such a feeling.

"Ugh..."

"It's a pity!" Director Ouyang sighed, since Xu Mang's wife became pregnant, the world's top scientist fell into a state of confusion, and he didn't publish any important research results for almost three months, and people who didn't know thought that it was gone.

Bang bang bang,

There was a knock on the door, and then Deputy Director He Liqun came to the office.

"Ouyang?"

"What did Xu Mang say?" Deputy Director He asked, "He hasn't had anything to do lately anyway, so he shouldn't have refused, right?"

"Refused. ”

Although it is true that there is nothing wrong, but his wife is not pregnant, and now she is a full-time father, and she travels with his wife to relax. Director Ouyang smiled bitterly: "He Lao... Now we are embarrassed, it is estimated that in this competition, we are at the bottom of Huaguo. ”

"What?" Deputy Director He was stunned for a moment, and said anxiously: "He... How did he degenerate like this?"

"It's not a depravity, after all, Xu Mang is a father for the first time, and the joy is understandable. Director Ouyang said, "Forget it... Let him rest and rest, he used to be always busy until dark, and it is rare to have the opportunity to be so idle. ”

Deputy Director He nodded and sighed: "I don't know who can succeed." ”

"I guess those top universities in the world. Director Ouyang said: "At present... I'm bullish on MIT. ”

"Really?"

"I think Princeton can do it. Deputy Director He said: "This is almost a contest between geniuses all over the world, but unfortunately... What a pity!"

Director Ouyang knows what He Lao is sorry for, this monstrous feast is missing a major player, missing that little bit of flavor, if Xu Mang participates, I'm afraid many people will quit early, but who knows... Maybe more people are participating.

After all, Xu Mang is almost everyone's public enemy, and he can defeat him... It is the dream of many people.

"He Lao?"

"Do you think it will take for Xu Mang to solve it if he makes a move?" asked Director Ouyang.

"How long?"

"I don't know... Zone guess is difficult!" Deputy Director He pondered for a moment and replied seriously: "A conservative estimate of a year..."

A year?

It's been too long!

Director Ouyang frowned: "I think ten days." ”

“...”

"Ten... Ten days?" Deputy Director He said in horror: "Ouyang... You're so optimistic, the genius of the University of Paris VI, but the winner of the Abel Prize, who started working on the Zone conjecture at the age of eighteen, and then studied other problems along the way, really... The mathematical version of Xu Mang. ”

"Him?"

"He also deserves to be compared to Xu Mang?" Director Ouyang shook his head and said seriously: "He Lao... The distance between geniuses and geniuses is sometimes greater than the distance between ordinary people! Geniuses from all over the world have joined in, but they are not as good as Xu Man!"

Deputy Director He was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help laughing.

"Yes, yes, yes!"

"The distance between geniuses and geniuses is indeed very large sometimes!" Deputy Director He said: "It's a pity... We may not see that distance anymore. ”

...

Afternoon

Xu Mang accompanied Xiao Man to feel the wonderful scenery of nature, and an hour later... The two of them walked on the bench next to them.

"Huh?"

"Do you know how I felt to you when I was in high school?" Yang Xiaoman lay in Xu Mang's arms and said with a smile: "Have you ever watched "Hot Blood College"?"

"Nonsense!"

"Of course I did. Xu Mang nodded and said seriously, "Have you seen it too?"

"Nope!"

"But I swiped it on Douyin, and I suddenly found that you are very similar to a character in "Hot Blooded High School". Yang Xiaoman said: "Serizawa Tamao... It's exactly the same, usually looks stupid, it feels like a dead man, but the shot is very supreme and strong. ”

Xu Mang: ???

What!

What do you mean by someone who usually looks stupid?

"Fart!"

"I'm usually smart!" Xu Mang said angrily: "Maybe you don't understand the connotation of a beautiful man like me, do you know what it means to be wise and foolish?"

"Cut!"

"I think it's foolishness. Yang Xiaoman said angrily.

Then

A cool breeze blew, making Xiao Man, who was thinly dressed, shrink.

"Are you cold?" Xu Mang frowned and asked, "There is a cold air heading south today... Didn't you bring a coat?"

"No... It's not cold!" Yang Xiaoman said stubbornly: "Am I beautiful?"

“...”

"Beautiful!" Xu Mang nodded.

Hearing Xu Mang's words, Xiao Man shrank into his arms again, and hurriedly said, "Beauty is not cold." ”

Oops...

it!

Xu Mang was completely convinced.

night

It has come,

Xu Mang and Xiao Man were lying on the bed, each of them was swiping their mobile phones, Xu Mang was watching some news, always paying attention to the latest developments of the Nobel Prize, and Xiao Man was watching a debate show.

"Husband?"

"From a backward village all the way to the world's top universities, is it personal effort, or is it other reasons?" Yang Xiaoman asked curiously: "Why do I almost see remarks about personal effort in this show, rather than other factors?"

"This question..."Xu Mang pondered for a long time, and said seriously: "I'm not good at narrating... But if a person goes all the way from a backward village to a world-class university, it is definitely not just a personal effort. ”

"It is impossible to complete such a counterattack with individual efforts. Xu Mang said: "Without the progress and development of the living environment, personal efforts... Failure to succeed. ”

"It is impossible to separate personal ideals from the destiny of the country, and if your country is uneasy, it will be difficult to realize your dreams even if you put in 10,000 times your efforts. Xu Mang sneered: "I don't like to hear others talk about how hard I work." ”

"Whoever does not suffer, who is not caught in the middle... Who doesn't work very hard to survive?" Xu Mang shrugged: "What do you think?"

"Hmm!"

Yang Xiaoman nodded, and then resolutely gave this show a one-star evaluation, and left a message... Litter!

Eleven o'clock in the evening,

Xu Mang was lying on the bed tossing and turning, he was tormented by his curiosity, glanced at Xiao Man in his arms, and then carefully picked up his mobile phone and searched for the content of the Zone conjecture.

Oops?

It's kind of interesting!

"What are you doing?" Yang Xiaoman didn't know when he woke up, opened his hazy eyes slightly, and said helplessly: "What time is it... Hurry up and go to sleep!"

"Sleep here, sleep here..." Xu Mang put the phone back to the head of the bed, and then hugged Xiao Man tightly.

A math feast?

A collision between geniuses?

Hehe!

......
