Chapter 417: Answering the Millennial Dilemma! (3/3)
Just when there was a lot of discussion in the outside world, Lu Zhou, who was in retreat, turned a deaf ear to the voices of those discussions.
The research was not as smooth as he expected, but he was still confident in the final result.
If the NS equation is compared to a labyrinth, then the distance between him and the end is only a wall, and it is only a matter of time before he bypasses it.
There are only seven days left until the end of the month.
Research has entered the most critical stage.
To do or not to do is just a very delicate range.
At this point, there was no need to wait any longer.
Taking a deep breath, Lu Zhou put his phone on the table, turned on the timer, and set a countdown of 168 hours.
As he pressed the confirm button, he closed his eyes.
When he opened his eyes again, the dark pupils had faded from the sensual color, and all that was left was pure and cold reason.
This sensory enhancement does not stem from the enhancement of computing power or the consolidation of logical thinking, but the purest and most direct amplification of digital intuition.
In this moment, it is as if all the numbers are his companions, and all the images are abstracted into geometric figures......
This long-lost feeling, Lu Zhou is too familiar.
If mathematics is the language of God.
Then at this moment, within this ten square realm, he is an omnipotent god!
……
On the last day of the deadline for submission of papers at the IMU conference, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and it began to rain heavily before dawn.
The rain continued into the morning, without stopping.
Holding an umbrella, Vera came to the classroom at Princeton University as usual to perform the duties of a teaching assistant and help Lu Zhou substitute for the teacher.
Although it is a pity that I have not been able to meet Professor Lu a few times this semester, the students still have a good impression of this young lady who is a teaching assistant with high appearance and knowledge.
Especially after proving Kakutani's conjecture, Vera's popularity among these undergraduates skyrocketed, and many students who had not taken a number theory course would come here to skip the class.
At the end of the lesson, as is customary, Vera gave time for the students to ask questions.
At this time, an Asian girl with long black hair raised her hand and asked.
"Miss Puyuy, may I ask if Professor Lu Zhou's research has any results?"
Students at ordinary universities may not pay attention to the IMU conference, but Princeton is not your average university.
Especially for those students who have taken the hellish level of number theory, their expectation for the future is usually to enter the Institute for Advanced Study to study pure mathematics, and it is only natural that they will pay attention to the IMU conference.
It is precisely because of this reason that this girl's question almost touched the hearts of everyone in the classroom.
Everyone is curious about what stage Professor Lu's research on the NS equation has progressed to.
Vera hesitated for two seconds in the face of those curious eyes, and finally shook her head slightly.
"I don't know, I'm afraid only your Professor Lu himself can answer this question."
Another tall, curly-haired boy raised his hand and asked.
"Miss Puyuy, do you think he will succeed in answering the question of the existence of the solution of the NS equation?"
Hearing this, Vera replied without thinking. "Absolutely."
The Asian girl who asked the question earlier asked curiously, "Why?" ”
Vera smiled lightly at the curious gaze, and the lesson plans in her hand were lightly stacked on the multimedia lectern.
Then, in a firm tone, she continued.
"Because I'm sure he can."
It's not based on some mathematical logic, it's just a belief in someone.
Of course, this belief is not unfounded.
Whether it's a presentation at Berkeley, a proof of Kakutani's conjecture now, or a 45-minute presentation at the upcoming International Congress of Mathematicians......
Everything she has now, everything she can do, for the self who once sat alone in the corner of the lecture room, who could only look up at the world on the lecture platform with longing eyes, and who could only use the spare time from odd jobs to delve into those interesting questions, it was simply unimaginable.
All of this is like a miracle.
She believes that he can bring this miracle and power to herself, and he is omnipotent.
At that moment, the rain outside the window suddenly stopped.
The sunlight passed through the gaps in the dark clouds, outlining a colorful trail in the air.
Lu Zhou, who was under the same sky as Princeton, also saw the rainbow.
I don't know when I stopped the pen in my hand, quietly looked at Lu Zhou outside the window, and was looking at the rainbow that suddenly appeared.
In the silence of the rainy day, the corners of his tense mouth suddenly hooked up a smile, and the pupils that were originally filled by pure reason gradually returned to a little of their original sensibility.
At this moment, the screen of the mobile phone he placed on the corner of the table lit up again, and the timer rang to zero.
Turning off the alarm, Lu Zhou picked up his phone and unlocked the screen, only to see dozens of missed calls hanging on the screen.
Some of these calls came from a week ago, while others came from just a short time ago.
Now, he has plenty of time to deal with the calls......
Selecting the number with the largest number of calls, Lu Zhou dialed back.
As soon as the phone was connected, an anxious voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Oh God, if you don't answer the phone, I'm probably going to drive up to your house and smash the door, do you know what day it is?"
Professor Feverman has always felt quite easy-going, and this is the first time Lu Zhou has seen him, and it turns out that he also has a violent side.
Moving the phone half an inch away, Lu Zhou thought for a moment and replied in an uncertain tone: "Walmart supermarket fruit promotion?" ”
Feverman: "......"
The moment he heard this, he almost vomited blood without anger.
Taking a deep breath and suppressing the impatience in his heart, Peverman said into the phone almost in a roaring voice.
"Deadline! Deadline for conference submissions! According to the requirements of the IMU conference, invited speakers must publish the content of the report two months in advance, and upload the paper within one month after confirming the content of the report...... Seriously, you're not going to forget about it, are you? ”
"How could I have forgotten this," Lu Zhou snorted and continued embarrassedly, "...... But I remember, isn't it possible to postpone the upload of the paper? ”
After a moment of silence, Professor Feverman sighed, "...... Let's change the content of the report, there is still a chance. ”
While it's okay to postpone the upload, he doesn't see any point in doing so.
Instead of putting it off until the last second and admitting your defeat, you can correct your mistakes from now on.
Anyway, in addition to the NS equation, he has many other achievements that can be reported at the report meeting.
However, Lu Zhou obviously did not appreciate it.
"Why change?"
There was silence on the other end of the line for a minute.
With a tremor in his voice, Professor Fefferman asked in a tone of disbelief.
“…… Have you figured it out? ”
"The NS equation cannot be solved, at least now we can't find its general solution," Lu Zhou smiled while holding the phone in another hand, and continued in an affirmative tone at the moment when Professor Fepferman's mood fell to the bottom, "But I can tell you very responsibly that its solution exists and is smooth!" ”
