Undoubtedly, this was an unexpected and embarrassing request.

After being silent for a while, Lu Zhou spoke.

“…… Answering the question of the existence and smoothness of the solution to the Navier-Stokes equation is a complex proposition, and while I have done some research around it, it is not a millennial problem. ”

He was telling the truth.

The reason why the NS equation was studied was mainly to create a suitable theoretical tool for studying complex plasma turbulence phenomena in the research process.

And this is also Mr. Qiu's suggestion to him.

As for the complete solution of the millennial puzzle about the establishment of the NS equation......

Lu Zhou really didn't think about it.

"I know that if it weren't hard, it wouldn't have been left unsolved until now. Even I don't have much confidence in using it as an opponent. Professor Feverman smiled and said in a relaxed tone, "Still, if we join forces, I think we can give it a try." ”

Lu Zhou was speechless: "Are you sure this thing can be solved by joining forces." ”

"I don't know, but my gut tells me that this line of thinking is probably correct."

Looking at the equations on the board again, Professor Feverman nodded to himself, as if he were affirming what he had said earlier.

Then, he looked at Lu Zhou, stretched out his right hand, and extended the invitation again.

"What do you think?"

The classrooms were quiet.

It wasn't just Professor Feverman who was waiting for Lu Zhou's decision, everyone in the classroom held their breath and waited quietly.

Staring at that hand, Lu Zhou fell into deep thought.

Speaking of which, it has been too long since he solved Goldbach's conjecture and broke through LV6 in mathematics.

Thinking of this, Lu Zhou suddenly smiled and held the right hand that was stretched out.

"It sounds like a lot of fun."

The Millennium Conundrum......

It does sound like a lot of fun.

Like Professor Feverman, he really didn't have much confidence to challenge this problem alone.

But when the two geniuses are combined, they are completely different.

"Haha, it's a pleasure to agree with you!" Professor Feverman shook Lu Zhou's hand vigorously and said happily, "It seems that this world is missing another unsolved mystery." ”

Lu Zhou was not as optimistic as him, but smiled faintly.

"I hope it will go so well."

At the same time that the two reached a consensus, the classroom was like a pot of boiling water, boiling in an instant.

"Oh God......"

A white guy with a freckled face took out his mobile phone and excitedly took a photo of the two of them, eager to record this exciting scene.

The two bigwigs decided to join forces to tackle the Navier-Stokes equation!

That sounds ......

It's awesome!

If they do, the people sitting in the classroom at this moment will undoubtedly become witnesses of history!

And this photo will also record this historic moment!

……

After reaching a consensus on joint research with Professor Feverman, the topic of "Existence and Smoothness of Three-Dimensional Incompressible Navier-Stokes Equation Solutions" was officially launched at the Institute for Advanced Study.

The name of the research group is very memorable, with only two short letters - "NS".

As for the method of collaboration, the two decided to adopt the traditional research method of "thinking independently and sharing results on a regular basis".

On the other hand, on the second day of the official opening of the "NS" research group, the new small particle accelerator purchased by the "He-3" project team finally arrived.

In the end, Lazersson chose the old equipment from Brookhaven National Laboratory, although CERN was also considered, but because CERN's small accelerator needed to be reported to customs, the process had to wait a long time. Brookhaven National Laboratory is in New York, and the other party is happy to get rid of the old equipment.

However, although it is a small particle accelerator, it is also "small" in the sense of the laboratory, and after the real thing arrives, the space occupied in the laboratory is not small at all.

After all, the initial velocity of a particle leaving the accelerator is determined by the strength of the constrained magnetic field and the radius of the orbit.

The newly arrived accelerator confined electromagnetic field has a theoretical strength of up to 1T, and the maximum radius after deployment is more than five meters, which took the "He-3" project team five days to complete.

Moreover, this is the work of Professor Lazersson himself, leading the engineers in the laboratory to work overtime and supervise the assembly in a hurry.

Under normal circumstances, it would take a month for this group of engineers to assemble this thing, at least a month, which can be said to be quite fast.

In the PPPL laboratory, Professor Lazersson wore a hard hat and checked the circuit status of the superconducting coil with professional equipment, while asking Lu Zhou who was standing behind him without looking back.

"Why?"

Lu Zhou, who was looking at their construction with interest, raised his eyebrows slightly.

"What, why?"

"This technology doesn't give you any patents. And even if it is produced regardless of patent issues, it is not destined to sell as well as cryo-EM. I even bet that there will never be more than ten labs willing to pay for this equipment. ”

This is also the question that Professor Lazersson has been perturbating.

Even though he knew how rich the math professor was, he didn't understand his motives for doing so.

Is it just for a Nobel Prize?

This is also too superficial.

Lu Zhou thought about it, and suddenly said with a smile: "For the glory of the human mind...... Is this reason enough? ”

His eyes widened, and Professor Lazersson opened his mouth, unable to utter a word.

After a long time, he silently gave a thumbs up.

"There are only three Chinese scholars in the world that I admire, and you are the most ...... among them"

Professor Lazersson pondered for a moment, as if he was wondering what words would be more appropriate to describe.

Young?

It doesn't seem solemn enough.

Clever?

It's disrespectful enough for the other two.

After waiting for a long time, he didn't wait for that word, but Lu Zhou, who was sold for a long time, couldn't wait.

"The most what?"

It took a while for Lazersson to think of a suitable adjective.

"The most ...... The rich and capricious one. ”

Lu Zhou: "......"

What do you mean by "the richest and capricious"?

Doesn't he have a more commendable merit?

For example, IQ, such as knowledge, such as handsome......

Which one is not more relevant and down-to-earth than having money?

……

Once the equipment was assembled, the experiment was scheduled to take place two days later.

That is, two days before Christmas.

If the experiment is successful, everyone will be able to live a happy Christmas in comfort.

If the experiment fails......

Of course, Christmas is still going to be celebrated.

It's just that the meaning of the holiday will no longer be to relax, but to adjust the mentality.

They didn't have time to drastically revise the experiment, leaving the "He-3" team with only one chance.

If they can't get the hang of it, they will have to wait until next June's Spiral 7-X overhaul to reschedule a new test program.

And this also means that they will have to waste half a year waiting.

However, Lu Zhou is very optimistic.

Especially for the re-improved atomic gun, he is full of confidence.

A confined magnetic field of 1T is definitely sufficient.

Both his instincts and his calculations told him this.

In this anxious and expectant waiting.

Finally, the "He-3" project team officially ushered in the day of the experiment......
