Chapter 164

"Senior Brother Gu, we ...... I'm afraid I've got a big problem!"

Senior Brother Gao's heavy voice came clearly from the video.

"What's wrong?" Gu Lu also restrained the smile on his face and asked Zhengse.

"That's the bad news I'm going to tell you. "After a few days of derivation and calculation, I found that the scheme we developed earlier is completely unfeasible when it comes to proving that the flip operation of high-dimensional algebraic clusters terminates after a finite number of times!"

Gu Lu's brows furrowed slightly.

The second part of the paper, that is, the proof scheme about the termination of the flip operation of high-dimensional algebraic clusters after a finite number of times, is a highly feasible scheme that he and Gao devised after racking their brains for nearly a week.

But......

Now Senior Brother Gao told him that the proof plan would not work at all!

The blow was too big, and Gu Lu was a little difficult to accept for a while.

Gu Lu's face was gloomy.

Let whoever makes all the efforts of the week in vain all at once, no one will be in any better state than Gu Lu.

"Senior Brother Gao, send me a copy of your derivation process. Gu Lu still didn't give up, and opened his mouth in a hoarse voice.

Senior Brother Gao nodded silently, and after some operation, he sighed and said to Gu Lu, "The document has been sent to you by email. Senior Brother Gu, don't be too sad, we are engaged in scientific research, and this situation is normal. ”

What Senior Brother Gao said is the truth.

Those who engage in scientific research, who do not fail ten times or eight times, are not good to be called people in the scientific research community.

Like those who are engaged in mathematics, it is common for them to take a fork in the road in the process of research.

The wasted time, connected to a trip around the world, is more than enough.

But it can't be helped, that's the daily life of mathematicians.

No one can be 100% sure that the solution they choose is the right way to the answer.

Senior Brother Gao knew that he, Senior Brother Gu, became famous at a young age and had outstanding talents, crushing many people of his generation.

Counting Gu Lu's resume, it was smooth sailing all the way, and the research topics were all cleared all the way.

The setback in front of him was normal for Senior Brother Gao, but he was afraid that Gu Lu would not be able to accept it, so he comforted, "Senior Brother Gu, don't take this matter too seriously. Well, you can rest for a day, and at this time tomorrow, we'll discuss a specific solution. ”

Gu Lu smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Senior Brother Gao, I'm not glass-hearted, and I can't accept failure. I just think it's a pity. ”

That's right, it's a pity.

Originally, it was still possible for him to solve the second problem of the minimalist program in the last month and a half of the mission period.

But all of a sudden, it came out.

Then the odds of completing the task are infinitely close to zero.

The previous week's time to discuss the proof plan, and the four days of Senior Brother Gao's research, a total of ten days, were all wasted.

And I don't know how long it will take to come up with a new proof scheme.

In the current situation, there is only one way to complete the task within the deadline.

That's ......

In one day, find a proof solution that is simpler than the original one!

This...... Is it possible?

Gu Lu felt a bit fanciful anyway.

Gu Lu, who was in a depressed mood, chatted briefly with Senior Brother Gao for a few words, and then turned off the video chat.

Taking a deep breath, Gu Lu adjusted his mood and opened the document from Senior Brother Gao.

In the document, it is Senior Brother Gao's derivation process, which is two pages long.

Gu Lu spent more than an hour browsing from beginning to end, and then the last trace of luck was completely extinguished.

Sure enough, just as Senior Brother Gao said.

The first solution they originally developed could not prove the terminating nature of the flip operation of high-dimensional algebraic clusters.

After a period of derivation, it enters a logical loop.

Gu Lu tried to get out of this logical loop, but found that it was completely impossible.

It can be said that ......

This set of proof schemes can be discarded entirely.

There is no need to make amends.

Finding a new proof solution is the only feasible plan.

However, finding a new solution is easier said than done.

Especially since there is only one day left for Gu Lu.

Gu Lu originally wanted to give up struggling.

However, after thinking about it carefully, Gu Lu still decided to rescue it.

When you fail, give up.

It's a bad state of mind.

With the first, there will be a second, a third......

In the long run, the sharp energy in Gu Lu's heart will be smoothed out.

After that, when Gu Lu encountered a problem again, perhaps his first thought was not to rush and fight, but to subconsciously choose to escape.

Gu Lu didn't want his future self to be like that.

Therefore, Gu Lu decided to rescue it.

One day, 24 hours, this time is very short.

Gu Lu is not completely without opportunities.

Gu Lu's knowledge accumulation and mathematical ability level are completely sufficient.

What is lacking is just inspiration.

"Inspiration, inspiration!"

Gu Lu kept chattering, but it was useless.

Gu Lu sat at his desk for an afternoon, and he didn't find any inspiration.

Instead, pieces of A4 paper that had been crumpled into balls were thrown into the trash.

Until the rumbling of hunger, Gu Lu realized that he hadn't even eaten lunch yet.

When he came to the farm restaurant, Gu Lu ordered a chicken and enjoyed it.

Then I came to the playground and ran two laps happily to vent my frustration, and by the way, I found inspiration when I tried to run again.

It turns out that Gu Lu thinks too much.

When running, the oxygen supply to the brain is severely insufficient, let alone stimulating, and it is difficult to even think normally.

At ten o'clock, Gu Lu returned to the teacher's apartment and threw himself on the sofa with a helpless face.

From twelve o'clock in the afternoon to now, Gu Lu has tried no less than ten schemes, and his mind is filled with chaos with countless formulas.

However, a suitable proof scheme has not been found.

Getting up from the sofa with difficulty, Gu Lu walked to the bathroom with a tired face.

Even when he was taking a shower, Gu Lu's mind was spinning at high speed, thinking about any kind of solution.

As a result, as soon as he didn't pay attention, his feet slipped, and Gu Lu fell on the floor of the bathroom.

Gu Lu raised his head and looked at the handsome cheek reflected in the floor, and was suddenly stunned.

At this moment, many things flashed through Gu Lu's mind, including...... That flash of inspiration.

"I caught you!" the corners of Gu Lu's mouth rose.

Then, Gu Lu ignored his body that had not yet been wiped dry, and rushed out of the bathroom at a speed of 100 meters and came to the study.

Then, Gu Lu put his hands on the keyboard, and his ten fingers quickly tapped, recording the inspiration that he had so hard to grasp.

So, in the study, there was a picture of a naked man, facing the computer screen, with his eyes shining, and ten fingers tapping quickly on the keyboard.
