Chapter 455

"Carl, what's wrong?" Alec asked subconsciously when he saw Carl's stunned appearance.

Karl turned his head stiffly, looking at Alec with a vacant look in his eyes.

The Annals of Mathematics has officially announced on its official website that it has completed the verification of Gu Lu's paper proving the narrow Hodge conjecture. ”

"And the result of the verification is that there are no major vulnerabilities in the paper!"

Karl's tone was filled with a strong sense of powerlessness.

After speaking, he leaned directly back in his chair, closed his eyes and said nothing.

Carl spoke in a loud voice.

Not only Alec, but even Konstantin listened to what Karl had just said.

After hearing the news, instead of being sad, Alec breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably, and he felt that he could finally be relieved.

has been squeezed by Konstantin in the past few days, so that Alec almost has the illusion that he will die suddenly in the next moment.

But now......

Although the battle with Gu Lu was lost.

But at least, there will be no more worries about life.

And Constantine, on his side, turned pale instantly after listening to Karl's words.

"How is it possible, how is this possible......"

Konstantin muttered this sentence as he came to Karl's side, forcefully pulled Karl out of his chair, and sat down in front of the computer, staring at the computer screen with his eyes.

The screen shows the official website interface of the Annals of Mathematics.

As Carl just said.

The red eye-catching announcement at the top of the official website said that the verification of Gu Lu's paper had been completed.

In Gu's paper, the Annals of Mathematics review panel did not find a loophole that could overturn the entire proof process.

To put it simply, Gu Lu really succeeded in proving the narrow Hodge conjecture.

And, under this announcement, there are also the signatures of all the members of the review team.

Konstantin found the names of several Filipino Prize winners and Wolf Prize winners.

Other words.

This verification result is completely credible.

Konstantin sat down in his chair, his eyes as empty as Karl before him.

This announcement undoubtedly dealt a fatal blow to Konstantin.

smashed the slightest fluke that originally existed in Konstantin's heart.

Originally, Konstantin regarded finding out the major flaws in Gu Lu's paper as the last straw.

But now.

Even this life-saving straw no longer exists.

They were defeated.

Utterly defeated!

There is no possibility of a comeback.

Perhaps even Konstantin did not expect that life went from great joy to great sorrow in less than four days.

"We lost ......"

Even reluctantly, Konstantin admitted this fact.

Carl let out a long sigh on the side, "It's unwilling to lose, we obviously went all out, but we still ......"

But he was won by Gu Lu with a half-crushed attitude.

Karl didn't say the second half of the sentence, but Konstantin could hear it.

"So what do we do next?" Alec said, worried.

Konstantin stared at the ceiling with stunned eyes, and after a long pause, he gently spit out a few words, "Let's disband." ”

"Disband?!" Carl couldn't accept it a little, and stood up to retort, "Konstantin, although we didn't win this battle with Gu Lu, we didn't gain nothing!"

"You have also seen the method of proving the special Hodge conjecture by Gu Lu, and it is very different from us, and we can prove the special Hodge conjecture in our way in the future. But once it is disbanded, then all our efforts in the previous six months will be in vain!"

What Karl said is a fact.

They proved that the idea of the special Hodge conjecture was very different from what Gulu Simon had set out in that paper.

These are two very different ways to prove this.

And they have established a complete theoretical framework.

According to the current progress, it will take them about half a year to successfully prove the narrow Hodge conjecture with their proof ideas.

Then.

Although Gu Lu has been in the forefront, the first to prove the narrow Hodge conjecture.

But it's okay for them to stay second.

The second proves the special Hodge conjecture, which is obviously not in line with their original intentions, but can be regarded as a way to stop losses.

Otherwise, if you give up now, the first half of your time will be wasted.

This loss is definitely at the level of blood loss.

Especially for three of the world's top genius mathematicians.

But......

This proposal was vetoed by Konstantin in a tough manner.

The reason is simple and crude.

"I'm not in the habit of taking the second!" Although his face was dejected, Konstantin still said this sentence word by word.

Konstantin's arrogance has long been doomed to the final fate of this improvised research group.

"I agree with Konstantin's proposal to disband the group!" said Alec this time.

After a few days of wandering at the Ghost Gate, Alec really didn't want to work with Konstantin anymore.

Half a year's hard work was all in vain, and Alec was also extremely painful.

But working with Konstantin, with Konstantin's work schedule in the past few days, he doesn't see himself as a human being at all, Alec feels that it won't take half a year, less than half a month, and he will die.

So, the dog's life matters, the dog's life matters!

Therefore, for the disbandment of the research group, Alec is now eager to raise his hands and feet in agreement.

Two to one!

The results are already obvious.

Despite Karl's reluctance, he still had to accept the fact that the research group was disbanded.

Inside the conference room.

The atmosphere fell silent again.

"Then I'll go back and pack my luggage, since the research group has been disbanded, then I will return to China tomorrow. Alec was ready to run away.

"Wait. Konstantin called out to Alec, who was about to turn away.

Alec stiffened the expression on his face and turned his head, "Professor Constantine, is there anything else?"

"Now is not the time for you to go. Konstantin's tone was deeply tired, "Do you remember the bet I mentioned to you before, that bet between me and Gu Lu?"

"What do you mean......" Alec's eyes widened.

"That's right. Konstantin said, "We have lost now, very completely, very simply. Then, according to the content of the gambling contract, we need to unconditionally agree to one thing proposed by Gu Lu. ”

"So, you can't leave here until Gu Lu puts forward the conditions. ”

Alec instantly sent a cool breath to the soles of his feet to the Heavenly Spirit Gai.

He swallowed hard, "Promise anything unconditionally." Konstantin, you say, Gu Lu won't make any excessive demands on us, right?"
