Chapter 445

Konstantin has Gu Lu's mobile phone number.

That was when the International Congress of Mathematicians was held last year, and the two added to each other.

Merely......

In October last year, after Konstantin officially declared war on Gu Lu, Konstantin blocked Gu Lu's mobile phone number.

This is a point that Gu Lu only realized when he accidentally dialed the wrong Konstantin number.

And Gu Lu didn't have the idea of contacting Konstantin, so he didn't care too much.

But.

Konstantin took the initiative to call this time, which made Gu Lu a little incomprehensible.

Gu Lu's first reaction was to think that Konstantin had accidentally dialed the wrong number like he had done last time.

But the phone rang for a while and still hadn't been hung up.

That means Konstantin wasn't mistaken.

But what was the purpose of Konstantin's call to find himself?

It can't be because they learned that they had overcome the narrow Hodge conjecture and took the initiative to come and sue for peace!

This is completely unrealistic.

The first is that it is impossible for this news to be leaked, and Gu Lu and Simon did not tell anyone.

Moreover, even if Konstantin knew about this, according to his character, it was impossible for him to take the initiative to tear off his face and call for peace.

Although he was puzzled in his heart, Gu Lu still chose to connect the phone.

As soon as he came up, Gu Lu said with a light smile, "Professor Constantine, didn't you block me, could it be that the sun is rising in the west today, and you actually remembered to call me!"

On the other side of the phone, Konstantin coughed awkwardly, but his momentum did not fall behind at all, "Gu Lu, I don't have the time to talk nonsense with you, the purpose of my call today is to ask you, what we said about the gambling contract before, does it count!"

Konstantin went straight to the point and stated the purpose of the call.

And the reason why Konstantin chose to talk about this topic with Gu Lu at this time is, of course, for some reason.

Not so long ago.

Konstantin, Carl and Alec were in the office and finally completed all the work of the second phase of the research project.

It is different from Gu Lu's division of the subject work into five links.

In the theoretical framework, the three Konstantin divided the entire research into four stages.

And just now, they have finished the second phase of the study.

This means that almost half of the proof of the special Hodge conjecture has been completed.

At this rate.

It only takes another half a year for the narrow Hodge conjecture to be in their pockets.

It took only one year to prove the special Hodge conjecture.

In Konstantin himself, this speed is already extremely fast.

In the past six months, Konstantin, Carr, and Alec have maintained an average of ten hours of high-intensity work every day, so that half of the proof work of the narrow Hodge conjecture can be completed within half a year.

But this blazing speed did not come without a price.

In order to get Carl and Alec to go all out, Konstantin promised them extremely generous rewards.

That's the price that hurts the entire University of Zurich, Switzerland.

However, in Konstantin's view, as long as he can win Gu Lu, these efforts are worth it.

According to the speed of Gu Lu and Simon, it is impossible to prove the narrow Hodge conjecture in one year.

Unless......

Unless they are in the process of studying Hodge's conjecture, they rarely encounter obstacles, rarely get stuck, and are in a state of inspiration at least half of the time.

But how is this possible!

This condition is too harsh, so harsh that only those demonic mathematicians who have been canonized in the history of mathematics can do it!

So this war with Gu Lu has come to this point, and Konstantin already has a sure win!

He has even begun to write a draft of the Victory Declaration half a year later.

But......

Konstantin suddenly thought of something very painful.

It is true that he and Gu Lu have a gambling contract.

And Gu Lu personally admitted that the losing side can unconditionally agree to win any thing.

Konstantin has the certainty of a win.

But the key is...... Konstantin was afraid that Gu Lu would repay the debt.

After all, there is no basis for words.

And the only gambling contract is now in Gu Lu's hands.

Konstantin did not have any credentials in his hands.

This means that Gu Lu can break the contract at any time and bite the bullet and not admit it after failure.

At that time, he signed a gambling contract in a drunken state, and no one except him and Gu Lu knew about the existence of this gambling contract.

Realizing the seriousness of this matter, Konstantin's whole person was instantly bad, and even the joy just now was washed away.

Konstantin wandered alone in the bedroom for a long time, and only then did he come up with a highly feasible countermeasure.

The solution is simple.

The gambling contract is with Gu Lu, and Gu Lu is far away in China, and most of them can't get it, since this is the case, then it is enough to keep another form of evidence.

So Konstantin took out his mobile phone, found Gu Lu's mobile phone number in the blacklist, hesitated for a few seconds and chose to dial it.

And at the moment when the call was connected, Konstantin pressed the call recording button.

In this case......

As long as Gu Lu personally admits the existence of the gambling contract and its specific content in the recording, he is not afraid that Gu Lu will repay the debt after half a year.

Konstantin gave a thumbs up for his wit!

…………

"Bet on ......" Gu Lu was stunned for a moment, and recalled in his mind some kind of evil deal he had reached with Konstantin in the hotel that night.

If it weren't for Konstantin's reminder, Gu Lu would have almost forgotten that there was such a thing.

What is the content of the bet?

Unconditionally agree to win any of the demands of one party!

Including but not limited to making chickens and ducks, tying up a group of pops!

Ahem......

Crooked, crooked.

Gu Lu originally proposed the content of this gambling contract, but there was another purpose.

"Yes, there is a bet. Gu Lu opened his mouth and replied to Konstantin.

On the other side of the phone, Konstantin sneered as if the conspiracy had succeeded, "The content of the bet is that the losing party agrees to win any of the conditions of the party, right?"

"That's right!" Gu Lu replied to Konstantin's question, not perceiving Konstantin's purpose.

The goal has been achieved, Konstantin is too lazy to pretend to be with Gu Lu anymore, so he plans to hang up the phone directly, "I have something to do here, hang up." ”

"Wait. Gu Lu suddenly spoke, with a faint smile in his tone, "Constantine, you called this time, it won't be just because of the gambling contract." ”

"However, on my side, there is one thing that I am curious about, how far have you completed the progress of your project?" Gu Lu asked casually.

Gu Lu didn't expect Konstantin to tell the truth, he just wanted to hear what Konstantin could talk nonsense.

"Two-thirds!" Konstantin did not tell the truth, but exaggerated their progress to scare Gu Lu.

To Konstantin's surprise, Gu Lu was not frightened.

So Konstantin asked, "What about you?"

"We......" Gu Lu held his mobile phone in a relaxed tone, "Before you call, we are preparing to submit a paper to the Annals of Mathematics!"

Gu Lu, this is the truth.
