Act 225. Three conjectures

At the headquarters of Mercury Balance, Dmitry was returning to his office after attending a meeting and had just sat down. Field hurried into the room, still holding a copy of the latest Mage's Daily Journal.

"Frederick, look."

He called the president by his first name, after all, in terms of seniority, Field was considered Dmitry's elder.

"Our Reiner has made some big moves."

Field placed the newspaper on Dmitry's desk, which was where the headlines were.

"Siris Award? I remember hearing Lord Stennis say that it was a prize for mathematics, and why, Reiner won the prize? โ€

Dmitry was slightly puzzled, last month, Reiner's reliance on genetics at a gathering of pure-blood mages caused the cognitive collapse of twelve mid-level mages, and the pressure came directly to the mercury balance.

He didn't care about the protests of these pure-blood mages who demanded that Reiner be held accountable, if Reiner used magic on these mages, he would still be able to entangle it, and such a thing as cognitive collapse would not involve the discoverer of the theory no matter what, otherwise, Isaris. His Excellency Alberton did not ascend to the sky in one step, but spent the rest of his life in prison.

Dmitry not only ignored such an appeal, but even wanted to laugh a little, you know, the abilities of many families in the pure-blood sect are related to the original four elements, they made a lot of obstructions when the alchemy system was just starting, and now, Reiner's actions have avenged a feud for the mercury scale, and Dmitry is about to give Reiner another award.

"No, it's not that he won the prize, although the prize was created with the participation of a part of Reiner, Dmitry, and I'm talking about the three mathematical conjectures he came up with."

Field's hand pointed to the front page below the introduction, where Reiner's three mathematical conjectures were detailed in his award speech.

"I'll see...... Four-color conjecture? โ€

Dmitry's eyes were first fixed on one of the problems, he had studied the map for a certain amount, but this coloring problem had never been deeply considered, and he couldn't help but think about it when he looked at Reiner's conjecture.

Around him, several beams of light flowed, constituting a draft of thinking, which was actually also a spell, a thinking drawing called Pragus, the Six Rings Rank, although it seemed to only replace the scratch paper, but in fact, the light points on it were accompanied by an instant change in thinking, in a sense, it was the embodiment of the process of human thinking.

The maps were woven with light, filled with different colors, and it took about ten minutes for Dmitry to stop deducing.

"All the maps known so far conform to this conjecture, and I think this problem needs to be built a mathematical model to deduct the proof."

Dmitry was so captivated by the question that he completely forgot about Field.

"Ahem, Frederick, put that aside for now."

Field patted Dmitry on the shoulder with some embarrassment.

"I don't think these conjectures can be proved so easily, in fact, three days have passed since these conjectures were proposed, and as far as I know, the paper review committee has received nearly four hundred papers in these three days, many of them are intermediate and advanced mages, and they all claim to have proved one of these conjectures, and this paper is a hundred times more than the number of papers related to mathematics in the past."

Shrugging his shoulders, Field had already heard the protests of several mages in charge of reviewing papers in this area, they were working overtime, but it was difficult to digest so many papers, not to mention that the review of papers in mathematics required careful thinking, and each one required a lot of time.

"Of course, none of these papers has been admitted to proving these conjectures, and these three questions have not yet become theorems."

Before Dmitry's thoughts could be pulled back from the map, he nodded.

"These conclusions seem obvious, but if you want to prove it, you can't do it, well, at least with the current means."

"To solve these problems, new mathematical methods must be developed, and perhaps some of them will shine in other fields, is that what Reiner intended?"

Field said that it was more difficult to find the problem than to solve the problem, and Reiner was bound to leave his name in the history of magic with just these three conjectures.

"Lord Field, do you know what's going on in my head right now?"

Dmitry asked with a smile, but before Field could answer, he gave the answer himself.

"At that time decisively absorbed Reiner. Ian Gray's entry into the Mercury Scales is really the most important conclusion made in the last fifty years, this guy is no ordinary genius, I think he will one day be able to rise to the legend and even touch the truth. โ€

Field nodded in agreement.

He did not question Reiner's series of discoveries, knowing that true genius is always unimaginable to mortals, as Isaris. Lord Alberton famously said that some people read epic poems and think they are just a story, while others can explain the mysteries of the world from the ingredients of expired rum.

Of course, this sentence was originally just a satire on the mages who looked down on kinesiology papers, but it didn't matter.

"One more thing, Dmitry, is also related to Reiner, which is related to the half-plane."

Field pulled out another file.

"What is this?"

Dmitry frowned slightly when he saw the letterman.

......

Engels Street has been a bit lively lately.

In the past, it was synonymous with darkness and poverty, but now, the streets are frequented by mages.

On the ruins of the Belรฉm apartments, the foundation stone of a brand new six-storey building is being laid.

A school will be built here to provide general education for the children of ordinary people, and even the surrounding shops will be given a new lease of life, and the bald boss's butcher's shop will be replaced by a candy shop, although according to the owner, his dream as a child was to open such a candy store, but looking at his somewhat hideous smile, it is always difficult to let people relax.

The name of the school is Hedwig College, which is in honor of a mother who once lived here.

With Reiner's efforts, the High Council provided the best treatment for Granny Hedwig, although it could not completely eliminate the effects of the fire, but at least saved her life, and after being discharged from the hospital, Granny Hedwig continued to live on this street, although through the income of the Sirith papers, she could no longer work, but Granny Hedwig still liked to push her cart and bring food and joy to people.

If you have the opportunity to see an old woman with gray hair and a cart on the streets of Trastan, you might as well buy one of her special pies, which will definitely taste superb.
