"Oh, you're still a mathematician, and you actually use the measure word 'many, much' to describe quantity." The pangolin, named Kadorf, said dismissively, clearly in a state of being disturbed.

But the mouth said so, but the body was very honest, and these pangolins quickly shuttled through the underground world and walked to the surface.

The so-called "messengers" are naturally Zhang Yuan and other human beings, who specially came here to recruit mathematicians.

Due to the cultural uniqueness of this virtual world, there have been staff members who have maintained the cultural atmosphere of this world for a long, long time in the past.

It is not easy to give birth to such a mathematical culture naturally, and in so many Gliese virtual worlds, there is only one one. Some cosmic sociologists are eager to study how this excellent cultural atmosphere came about. Is it because of the suffering of the environment, or because of some factors in history, or because of a wise man who was born in this world......

This world is a place of study that many sociologists of the universe love.

The results of their research are naturally very complicated, and everyone has their own conclusions, and they can't say why.

It's like out of 10,000 mediocre civilizations, some non-mediocre civilizations will be born by chance.

To put it more metaphysically, in the process of increasing overall entropy, there is also an occasional decrease in local entropy. That's what this virtual world is.

All in all, over the past few hundred years, humans have tried to teach them more advanced mathematical knowledge, sublimating the thinking of elementary mathematical skills into the way of thinking of higher mathematics. And also teach them the basic business, laws and regulations, basic morals, etc., which these Gliese people can easily accept.

Now it's finally coming in handy!

Zhang Yuan looked at the world at sunset, the fiery red fire clouds, and produced a lazy and comfortable mood from the bottom of his heart, it is hard to imagine that in this environment, an excellent mathematical atmosphere will be born.

"What a strange place."

And recruiting mathematicians is also a matter of willingness, and there is always a big difference between mental and physical work, and it is not interesting to forcibly arrest people.

A staff member next to him explained: "Professor Zhang, there are about 13 million Gliese people in this world, and this holy mountain near the equator is home to most of the outstanding mathematicians, and many tribes who love mathematics will move here. In addition, the food here is more abundant, and the total population is about 570,000. ”

"The best scientists here, probably more than 8,000 people, have made mathematical achievements...... They also created a large museum dedicated to mathematical achievements. So it's a race that is very honor-honoring. ”

Zhang Yuan nodded: "I understand, but I think we don't need to hollow out all the heritage of this civilization, maybe in a different environment, the living conditions are richer, and we are exposed to more new things, these pangolins will be attracted to attention and don't love mathematics." Therefore, most of the population still needs to stay here and maintain the traditional mathematical culture of this virtual world, and we only recruit a small number of talents to test the waters. ”

When Zhang Yuan saw the bustling pangolins below, he seemed to be reminded of his memories from a long time ago, and he didn't know what happened to the real Gliese civilization......

They are rising again on a new planet, and they may have a hard life, right?

Or maybe it's a little more difficult than you think.

However, in the next second, he came back to his senses, looked at the group of mathematicians who had arrived, and said loudly: "Hello friends of the Gliese civilization. The reason why we are here is that I want to discuss with you one thing. ”

All the pangolins raised their heads.

For these pangolins, mathematics is their belief and everything in the universe, so there is no such thing as a "god", so they do not blindly worship each other.

But the messenger is still a very respectable existence. Because these messengers are so clever!

Most of the mathematical knowledge was passed down by the messengers. Otherwise, they are still immersed in the Mocodebach conjecture in elementary ways!

But now, when they are exposed to advanced mathematics, they immediately know the breadth and profundity of it, and they have left elementary mathematics aside.

The idea of these pangolins is very simple, whoever has mastered more advanced mathematics is a smart person, enjoys better treatment, and obtains a higher status, which is also natural.

Zhang Yuan directly delivered an impromptu speech: "Everyone here may be very curious about why our human species came to this planet and how much knowledge we have. ”

The pangolin below whispered: "Is he a mathematician?" ”

"Let's ...... that"

If Zhang Yuan can't say anything good, they simply don't bother to listen, if it is those professional politicians, these pangolin mathematicians will not give Zhang Yuan a good face just because he is a human being. A bunch of empty talk is also just a waste of time.

"I can tell everybody...... In the vast ocean of mathematics, even we humans have only mastered a scoop. There are many, many problems in the world that have not been overcome, and it can even be said that the more you know, the more you don't know! Whoever masters all mathematics will master the entire universe. ”

“…… In our civilization, knowledge is the primary productive force, but it is not so easy to climb the peak of knowledge, and there will be many difficulties and obstacles in the middle. Sometimes when you feel tired, you will stop and rest, but after a long rest, you don't want to move. There are a lot of such people, really a lot, and they can't appreciate the beauty of nature at all. ”

"And mathematics is the crown of nature, the most brilliant pearl!"

This time it went to their hearts, praising mathematics, isn't it praising mathematicians? Mathematics is the best subject!

“…… Because the development of mathematics is not step-by-step, but wave-like. If the old job isn't as 'fun' as the new job, there will be a lot fewer people who care. We do not live in an age where there are 'fundamental mathematical problems' like philosophy. In the development of mathematics, it is more common to forget, belittle, and misunderstand the work of others than to review, reflect, and learn the work that is unknown but may be extremely important. ”

"Most mathematicians are followers of trends, not creators. For those who lived in the past and mistakenly believed that there was some kind of "fairness" in mathematics, we would ask bluntly: Why don't so many people read André Wayy's algebraic geometry today and choose to use scheme? Andre Wey's tools work on many problems as well! ”

"Therefore, everyone in this industry knows that it is actually very hard, and there is a high probability that there is no way to make their writings pass on through the ages......"

This sentence has struck a chord with many pangolins. They are a little confused, which is a reflection on their own life.

What are they climbing to the top of mathematics for? Is it for fame, for some small reward for humanity, or do you really want to go up to the top of the mountain?

Zhang Yuan returned to his topic: "...... Friends, this world is very big, and above our heads, it is called the universe! There are many more civilizations in the universe, some of which are friendly and some of which are unfriendly...... Now we humans have formed a true interstellar alliance, inviting allies to roam the ocean of knowledge together, and if you are interested in fighting for this path for the rest of your life, you can choose to join this alliance. ”

This statement is obviously a bit profound, for these pangolins, there is a certain idea of what the universe is, because you can see the stars when you look up.

And the textbooks promulgated by mankind also have a relevant astronomical knowledge system. Although there are not many pangolins who are interested in this area, most of them are only interested in mathematics.

But there is no concept of interstellar alliances and the like.
